Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 370 Deserters
Both of them shook slightly, but they were not too surprised.

After all, the hour is almost here.

Sure enough, as soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Xian rode his horse and walked aside, leaned down and said softly to the window: "Second Young Master, Young Madam, we are here."

Yu Wenye lifted up a corner of the curtain and looked at the sky outside. The scorching sun was in the sky, and suddenly he looked up and felt dazzling. It was already noon, and they had already arrived at a place twenty miles west of Yanyue City at noon according to what Shen Tutai said yesterday. Just a few hundred steps directly in front of them was an apricot grove.

And outside the apricot forest, there was a person standing.

He was a little too far away, so he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. He could only vaguely feel that it was a thin young man. Although he was alone, the forest behind him was densely packed, but it seemed that they were all shaking figures.

Obviously, that's what Shen Tutai said, the people who came to join them.

Shang Ruyi looked forward with her head, and asked in confusion, "Why is there only one person waiting there, why are everyone else in the woods?"

Mu Xiandao: "I'm afraid there is an ambush."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. At this time, Shen Wuzheng and Shan Tong'er also rode over.Shen Wuzheng raised his head to look at the situation ahead, and said: "If they really want to ambush us here, Shentutai wouldn't have to come here yesterday to inform us of the location and time."

"..."

"I think these people probably don't want to reveal their whereabouts."

"..."

"After all, they are considered to have betrayed Wang Gangzhai, and they don't fully trust us, so they are extra careful."

While they were talking, Shantong'er narrowed his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, and murmured: "That person seems to be Brother Nie Chong."

"Nie Chong?"

This name was unfamiliar to them, Yu Wenye said: "Who is he?"

Shantong'er opened his eyes wide and said in a low voice: "He is one of the most trusted people around Seventh Brother. Although he is not famous, you don't know him. In fact, everyone in the village is afraid of him."

"why?"

"This man has a smooth ear--why!"

Having said that, he suddenly showed regret, and everyone looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Shan Tong'er said: "He must have heard what I just said."

Shang Ruyi looked at the blurry figure in front of her, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so far away, and you speak so softly, how can you hear me?"

Shan Tong'er was afraid that they would feel that he was bragging, so he blushed with anxiety, and said seriously in a low voice: "What I said is true, he really has good ears, and the brothers on the mountain will say bad things about him." If you are far away, you have to cover yourself with a quilt and say—oh, he must have heard it again."

This time, he really covered his mouth and kept silent.

Seeing him like this, everyone was amused and amusing, but they also felt a little more mysterious about the person in front of him, Yu Wenye said: "Whether he is clairvoyant or shy, we have to meet for a while."

After speaking, he got out of the carriage.

Da Bo and Mu Xian behind him rushed to follow him with their troops, but Yu Wenye raised his hand and said, "You don't need to follow, just wait here, I'll go over and see the situation ahead."

Everyone was willing to let him go alone, in the end Shen Wuzheng got off his horse and said: "Let me go with you."

Shan Tong'er immediately said: "I will go too!"

After looking at them, Yu Wenye subconsciously looked back at Shang Ruyi, who was obviously worried, and nodded, so the three of them walked forward together.

After a while, they came to the apricot forest.

Standing outside the apricot grove was a young man in his twenties. He was of medium build, thin, and his face was like gold paper. But seeing the three of them coming, he bowed his hands politely and said, "Nie Chong."

Yu Wenye said: "You are the one who Shen Tutai said, you want to bring people to join us?"

"Yes."

"What about your people?"

Nie Chong turned his face and glanced behind him, then said, "They're in the woods."

Yu Wenye said: "Why didn't you come out?"

Nie Chong said: "It's really presumptuous of us to come here to seek refuge, and we really don't trust you very much. So here, I want to ask Second Young Master Yuwen some things on behalf of my brothers."

Yu Wenye said: "Please tell me."

Nie Chong said: "We are subordinated to the Second Young Master, how will the Second Young Master treat us?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him, then looked at the dense forest behind him, more and more figures were shaking, obviously, those people also felt very uneasy, and at this moment they were eager to hear his words clearly. promise.

He thought for a while, and said, "Since you are going to be under my command, you will be my soldiers in the future. I will treat you all the same as I treat my soldiers."

Nie Chong said: "Then how did the second son treat your soldiers?"

Yu Wenye said: "Shen Tutai was born in the army, and his temperament is upright and upright. I think that even if he comes to your village, he should not change his nature, and his requirements for you should be almost the same as he was in the imperial army. So, I can tell you You, I have almost the same requirements as his opponent's generals. But—"

"But what?"

"Since you are new to me, I can give you a special power."

Nie Chong immediately looked at him: "What special power?"

Yu Wenye said: "I can give you three days to be deserters."

"...!?"

Nie Chong was startled, and even Shan Tong'er beside him showed surprise when he heard the words.

Only Shen Wuzheng, he squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had calculated it in his heart, a faint light flashed in his eyes immediately, and he nodded almost without showing any trace.

Nie Chong asked in surprise, "I don't understand what Second Young Master said?"

Yu Wenye said: "In my military training, I never allow laziness, because the laziness and slack in the usual practice means that going to battle means near death."

"..."

"If you can't stand my soldiers, you can flee, but if you want to stay under my command and make contributions, you must work hard."

When Nie Chong heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

There was also a faint commotion in the apricot forest behind him.

And Yu Wenye raised his head again, and raised his voice to the figure swaying in the woods: "So, I'm here to say what I said first, you come to seek refuge with me, it is Shen Tutai who wants to give you a place to go, I can take you in, But some of you may have two minds, and I don't mind that."

"..."

"From today, I will march three days in a row, so that you can experience the intensity of my usual military training. You can't bear it during these three days. If you have other places to go, you can leave at any time. I will never stop you."

"..."

"Three days later, if you pass Luoyang and stay in our army, it proves that you are capable and willing to stay under my command. The rewards and punishments for your merits and demerits are the same as those of our lieutenant soldiers. You, that is, I, Yu Wenye soldiers."

"..."

"If you want, now, you can come out!"

As soon as his voice fell, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

There was only a bit of cool wind, blowing out from the dense forest, as if it also brought some restlessness and restlessness in the hearts of the people, blowing their temples and hair slightly flying.

Shantong'er opened his eyes wide and looked ahead nervously.

Not only him, but even behind them, Shang Ruyi, who was still sitting in the carriage, also held his breath, carefully staring at the dense apricot forest.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of light footsteps came from the wind.

I saw four or five young people coming out of the forest together. They were all tall and tall, obviously possessing high martial arts skills. After they walked out, they didn't say much, they just bowed their hands to Yu Wenye. Li, stood aside.

Immediately afterwards, another group of people came out.

There are thirty people in this team.

Afterwards, many people came out of the forest one after another, and after a while they stood densely in front of them. Yu Wenye roughly estimated that there were thousands of people!
This was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that the number of people sent by Shentutai to investigate their attitudes would be a few hundred at most, but he didn't expect that there were so many people here, and there were probably even more people who followed him to leave Wanggangzhai.

Thinking of it this way, he felt a little relief in his heart.

Because he knew that at this time, Wanggangzhai's power had been greatly reduced.

However, even though these people came out, it could be seen that there were still some people left in the forest, and some people even left along the path from the other side of the apricot forest.

The three-day test has already begun from this moment.

Yu Wenye looked at the people in front of him, and said calmly: "Very well, since everyone has come out, I won't say much, and we will start from now on."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the teams behind him immediately stepped forward, and the teams on both sides quickly merged into one.

This time, the team doubled instantly, and the momentum became even bigger.

Just when Yu Wenye got into the carriage and everyone got on their horses one after another, Nie Chong suddenly said to Shan Tong'er, "Jiu Dangjia."

Shan Tong'er immediately turned around: "What?"

Nie Chong looked at him and said, "You said just now that the brothers on the mountain would cover up all the bad things about me, so what did you say under the covers?"

"...!"

The people around who followed him lowered their heads in unison, and everyone was shocked.

Shang Ruyi didn't expect that Nie Chong actually heard them when they were so far away and spoke so softly just now!

Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Nie Chong didn't say much, just sneered, rode his horse and followed the team forward, while Shan Tong'er stuck out his tongue with a bitter face, and pointed his mouth at Shang Ruyi. He said, "Look, I'm not lying."

Shang Ruyi was surprised and amused at the same time, but Yu Wenye watched from the side, and didn't say much, just waved his hand, and the team moved forward.
