Fairy Court respects it alone

Chapter 23 Arriving at the County
Outside the village, the peasant archers were already busy with short knives.

They are cutting off the head of the demon bandit.

Blood dripping.

For Zhao Ming, who was a bit of a clean freak, it was quite disgusting.

Fortunately, the village rescued by his troops has opened its gates. There is an old man on crutches, who is leading about thirty folks with short spears and spears, and a dozen or so people wearing short leather jackets and armed with The three-eyed blunderbuss and Pu Dao, who were obviously much stronger, came over respectfully from Bapin Xiangyong, carrying a few straw baskets.

Before approaching, the old man at the head put down his crutches, bowed deeply and said: "My lord came here this time, saving me is like a fire and water, the little old man and the households of the whole village, thank you for your help! Thank you for saving the village!"

"Thank you, my lord, for leading the troops to save lives. The Liu Family Village will never forget it!" Others bowed to each other.

What I said was true and sincere, and the fact is that this is the case in itself.

After all, just before, those hundreds of demon bandits surrounded their Liu family village, crying and howling around the earth wall and the baffle, grinning and staring at themselves on the earth wall with their bloodshot eyes. .

If they hadn't received a message from the yamen, let them raise the baffle in advance and make preparations on the fence.

I'm afraid that in the early morning today, when the demon bandits attacked, they really had to easily cross the wall, and they, who were not prepared at all, suffered a big loss!

So, how could these villagers, who are afraid when they think about it, not be grateful to Zhao Ming?

"Well, the old man should get up first."

Zhao Ming accepted the gift from this group of people calmly.

Of course he can afford it.

Stretching out his hand, he walked over to help the old man up, and said to the old man who was obviously the elder of the village, "I am originally from Yuli County. Lord."

"Little old man, I still have to thank you for your life-saving grace!" The elder of Liujia Village pointed to the four grass baskets behind him and bowed respectfully: "My lord led the troops to come and rescue me!" In times of crisis, I should have rewarded my lord well, but my Liu family village is poor, so I can only scrape together these grains to comfort my lord's subordinates who lead the army."

"But these are chickens, ducks and live poultry. Where do you get the food?" Zhao Ming smiled, pointed at the straw baskets that the Min Zhuangs were carrying, and politely but resolutely refused: "These, I can't have it!"

The straw basket was filled with live chickens and ducks tied up, and it wasn't the food the old man said.

Instead, it should be the poultry that was finally raised in captivity in the Liu family village.

Dry is not fat.

If it was placed in the previous life, it must be a free-range chicken raised with the original ecological feed.

However, in this Chinese-like world that was still in feudal ancient times, it was those who planed food in the fields all day long, and their lives were not considered good. If they could eat enough in one year, they would be considered a good harvest season. In the hands of the villagers, there are about [-] to [-] chickens and ducks, which are enough to be precious possessions raised by saving food and money!
That's right, from Zhao Ming's point of view, or in other words, the chickens and ducks in the homes of those poor people, no matter whether they are small, medium or large poultry, are all belongings, property, and good things for them.

Zhao Ming came to this world, although he could not be regarded as rich and well-clothed, but he did not have to worry about food and drink.

Even this chicken, duck and fish can be eaten three or four times a week.

Now come out and lead the battle.

It's not like throwing away one's duty just because of this skinny and dry chicken and duck.

"That's it. You don't need to say more, old man. We will have our own dry food." Zhao Ming nodded to the elder of the Liu family village in front of him: "I am the son of the Zhao family in the county seat. Those who are full enough and willing to go out with me for a while can go to the county government office, and someone will notify me."

This is the rule passed down by the imperial court of this world. After all, there will never be a shortage of people in every village who want to go out and fight. And the imperial court will naturally need a large number of soldiers to fight against the alien star field outside for a long time.

Therefore, it is not only about simple recruitment and application, but also many people who want to make contributions and actively join the army.

"Is this young adult named Zhao Ming?" Some young people were surprised.

"Zhao's family?" There were also middle-aged men who were thoughtful.

But they were a little more radiant towards Zhao Ming, especially when they looked at Zhao Ming.

Just like how after Zhao Ming received the private placement documents, he just tried Yinliang, and he was able to pull out more than two hundred people, and he could also follow him to garrison at Shibalidunbao, to help prevent those dangerous monsters from chaotic. bandit.

Not only relying on the prestige and money of the Zhao family, but also the idea of ​​really wanting to make contributions!
"I'll stop nagging the old man." After the archers cut off the heads of those bandits, Zhao Ming was about to leave: "The whole army is ready to dispatch!" He called the team leader behind him and ordered them to go on.

"Understood!" The six team leaders naturally understood, gathered the troops and planned to leave in a deep voice.

"The benefactor will not give it away!"

The old man and the people of Liujia Village all saw off for a long time.

Their eyes flickered and they thought about it.

However, for Zhao Ming, there was no need to worry about this. Although he wanted to attract some outsiders to join his army, he had the support of the Cathay Heavenly Dynasty, so he didn't worry about the troop trouble at all.

"It's just to silence outsiders, at least in the early stage." Zhao Ming pursed his lips.

Lead the troops along the official road and continue to march forward.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

Scattered demon bandits with less than a hundred heads are of no value to Zhao Ming.

With the identification function of friend or foe in the creative workshop, he is searching for the enemy, whether it is hiding or ambushing, he can clearly distinguish it according to the color - at least Zhao Ming distinguishes the enemy and friend according to the color, especially when the human race is blue Under the difference that our side is all green, and the enemy, that is, those monster gangsters are all red, as long as you find bright red, then you only need to let your troops overwhelm the rest and strangle them completely.

From the official road all the way to the west of the county, Zhao Ming's army of more than [-] people not only did not encounter too many obstacles, but relying on the advantage of three soldiers with infantry, bow and cavalry, there was no enemy at all. !
At noon, when it was time to start a fire and cook, I saw the city wall of Yuli County!
It is more than seven meters high and covered with bricks.

There is also a complete three-story archery tower on the city gate, as well as arrow towers built every 15 meters on both sides.

Looking at the past from a distance, you can still see the black guns on the arrow tower, the guns and other firearms, as well as densely packed, many townsmen guarding the city with three-eyed guns who have already taken precautions. .

Including many seventh-rank lottery soldiers standing on the archery tower, their bodies were full of energy and blood, and a group of people stood in several rows, so that there was a little heat around their bodies urging the air and causing a little visual shaking. Crossbows or blunderbusses, these weapons that require long-term training to be proficient in, are quite strong and capable.

And at the very top of the watchtower, a group of stronger, full of energy and blood has overflowed to the limit, can be called the signing army of the peak level of the seventh rank, surrounded by eight or nine people standing there Under the plaque with two characters.

It was the commander Wang Runan who controlled the county, and the two deputy commanders Li Zheng and Wu Guangyan.

In addition, there are three or five big family heads in Yuli County who followed them.

There is the head of the Zhang family.

The head of the Huang family.

Of course, the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Ming's own uncle, was also there.

"This unicorn from the Zhao family really surprised me." Commander Wang Runan stood in the middle. Naturally, when Zhao Ming led the troops approaching, he had a good look at it first. At this time, there was a lot of emotion in his words: " Remember it’s called Zhao Ming, right? Brother Qing, you didn’t introduce much before, and you almost lost me a fierce general in Yuli County!”

While he was speaking, he also looked at the patriarch of the Zhao family in the corner beside him, who was also Zhao Ming's own uncle, the middle-aged man who had no expression on his face, but bowed his hands and seemed to be submissive when he heard the words: "I have been slack in my humble job. "

"Well, aren't you just slack?" Wang Runan still pretended to blame and said, "You have to be punished!"

"Acknowledge the punishment for the humble position." Zhao Qingren bowed and bowed again.

"Well, then you go down and bring your unicorn up personally, I want to take a good look at it!" Wang Runan laughed suddenly: "Brother Qing, Yuli County finally has such a talented person, you can Let me take a good look at it, otherwise, there are ten guerrilla missions in total, and there is no talented person who came to the county for the first time. Wouldn't it make people gossip, saying that I, Wang Runan, as a commander, is only for cronyism, no Do you really have the ability to cultivate talents?"

After saying this, several Patriarchs at the top of the Arrow Tower immediately raised their eyebrows slightly, looking enviously at Zhao Qingren, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family who was already acquainted with each other, wondering about the old relationship in their hearts, and looking at Wang Runan's back thoughtfully .

Anyway, everyone can share in the guerrilla envoy's errand, so should the Zhao family if they have one.

After all, ten places are enough for seven or eight of them.

Even if the Zhao family has two.

That's fine.

Don't I have one in my family, and some young people have become guerrilla envoys, can they go out to exercise!
"Brother Qing, why don't you hurry up and thank Master Runan?" Next to him, Li Zheng, the head of the Li family and one of the deputy commanders, who was in charge of the work of the county's boss, suddenly smiled and touched Zhao Qingren's arm: " What are you still doing standing here stupidly? My child was appointed as a guerrilla by Master Runan, could it be that he was happy?"

"Happy in my humble heart, I even forgot to thank the Commander!" Zhao Qingren then withdrew his thoughts from the distant gaze, with a embarrassed expression on his face, he hurriedly bowed to Wang Runan, and then went down to lead him.

"Look, Zhao Qingren is usually very generous."

Wang Runan smiled instead.

Turning his head, looking at the submissive subordinates on both sides, he said casually: "But I just like to pretend to be stupid. Look at this kid of my own family. He is leading cavalry, archers, and infantry. The rank of the eighth-rank Xiangyong is actually shown to the outside world, only after more than 200 people have been raised privately, and then they are from the nine-rank countrymen, intending to be fooled? So that others can relax their vigilance and become an amazing one by themselves?" Said Then he laughed loudly: "Don't you show your timidity!"

This statement immediately caused the others to burst into laughter, but although everyone was smiling, their eyes flickered as they glanced at Wang Runan's smiling face and Zhao Ming, who was approaching from below.
