A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 3: Escape from Slavery and Enter Huben

Outside Chaoge City, the Zhou army camp.

"Greetings to your Majesty! Your Majesty will live forever!" The leader of the Zhou Dynasty bowed to Ji Chao Ji before continuing to say,
"The first to defect are already outside the tent."

"Xuan!" King Zhou said calmly.

Outside large military accounts

He was waiting for the call with low eyebrows and a slight bow. He saw the warriors guarding the military tent. They were all tall and round-waisted, wearing armor, holding bronze daggers, and hanging bronze swords from their waists. Their eyes were cold, and they were as motionless as stone sculptures. They were filled with evil spirits. Send a message and look at all the elites in the army.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Zhou people came out of the tent and shouted to Zhuan from a distance:

"The king has an order, declare it, and those who defect will be sent to the tent!"

After hearing this, he quickly walked up to the Zhou people and followed them into the military tent.

"Slave, the traitor, Zhi, pays homage to the king! The king will live forever!"

Shouting loudly, Zhen knelt down, put his hands flat in front of his forehead, and touched his head to the ground. Then he no longer dared to move, waiting for King Zhou's response.

After a while, I heard a deep voice:

"Are you the first person in the Shang army to defect?"

"Your Majesty, Rongzhen, is a slave."

"How dare you, a slave, turn against us before the battle?"

"The king is generous, but the king of Shang is dishonest. The king accepts the destiny of heaven and hangs the people down. It is destiny for the king of Shang to lose his country. I dare not go against heaven, slave."

"I think you speak quite fluently and in a coherent manner, unlike what a slave can say."

"I would like to report to your Majesty that I, Nu, was the son of the chief of the tribe in the middle of the mountain. My mother was a woman from the Xia tribe, so she was able to speak elegantly. It happened that the Shang army attacked Dongyi, so it was affected. Except for Nu, the rest of the tribe died, and Because the slave was quite brave, he was captured due to exhaustion and was immediately demoted to a slave.”

"In this way, you are the queen of Dayu, and the queen of the Xia clan. Get up and answer your question."

"Here (re)" Hearing this, he stood up and stood with his eyebrows lowered and a slight bow.

"You have made a great contribution by defecting before the battle and causing chaos in the Shang army's formation. I heard that you were also quite brave in killing enemies. I wonder how many enemies you killed?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, after your slave defected, he killed nine of his enemies, as evidenced by his left ear."

"You are so brave? It seems that you are worthy of being called Zhu. In this case, I will remove you from your slave status and make you a citizen of the country. I will move you to Fengyi, give you a gold ten, a rhinoceros armor, and a sword, and make you a sergeant. , you can go to the Left Division of the Chinese Army to join the army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever!" After hearing this, Zhuan immediately felt overjoyed and quickly fell to the ground again. He did this three times.

At this time, Si Xun, who was on the right side of King Zhou Jifa, walked out and said loudly:

"Only in the second month of the eleventh year at Jia Ziwu, the king went to the Muye military camp and announced that Si's surname was Zong. She had made great achievements. The king exempted her from slavery and became a citizen of the country. She moved to Fengyi and was given ten pieces of gold, a rhinoceros armor, and a sword. One, make everyone aware of it."

After speaking, Si Xun handed a roll of straw to Zhen and said to him:
"With this edict, you can go to Yousi to receive your reward."

Zhuan took the straw and bowed to the King of Zhou three times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Then he thought about it and bowed again: "I know that the king is committed to promoting talents, and I happen to know that a talented person is lost in the wild. I wonder if the king knows about it?"

The king of Zhou was surprised and said: "Oh? Who is it? If there is a virtuous man, he must not be lost in the wild."

He quickly bowed again and said:
"Zhuan is frightened. He is the one who is brave. No ordinary people can get close to him. He has the courage to recommend himself to the king. He is willing to join the Huben clan and hold the sword for the king. If the king does not believe it, let someone try it."

King Zhou joked: "Oh? If you are really brave, I might as well take you into account, right?"

"I'm waiting here!"

"Zi, how many people can you wrestle with? You tell me how many, and I will let a few warriors wrestle with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You can compete with ten tiger warriors."

"You have such courage. Here are ten tiger warriors. I want to see if you have such courage. If you deceive me, you will be responsible for the consequences."

After King Zhou finished speaking, he sat up straight and prepared to watch, and then said: "Let's begin!"

"Yes!" Zhu and the ten tiger warriors bowed to the King of Zhou and were ready to take action at any time.

I saw ten tiger warriors surrounding Zong in a circle, all gearing up, and looking at each other, as if to say, whoever goes first will teach this arrogant slave a lesson.

This is when a big man jumped out and said: "Let me go first. This is the first time I have seen such an arrogant boy. Hey, boy, if you can't hold on any longer, just call me "Father" and I will let you go. What do you think? "After saying that, the other tiger warriors also burst out laughing.

Then, he put his right foot back, made fists with both hands, left fist in front, right fist under his right cheek, bent his knees slightly, and laughed softly:
"Oh? Since you like others to call you "Father", how about calling me "Father" when you lose? It's fair and fair."

After hearing this, the big man felt humiliated in front of the king, his face turned red, so he shouted and punched Zhu, "You dare to bully me, little thief?"

When he saw the big man punching him, he ducked to the left and hit the big man's ribs hard with his left fist. Because Zhen was improved by Bai Gui's martial arts, Zhen not only had superb fighting skills, but also had natural divine power.

The big man only felt pain under his ribs, and then his body became weak. After punching the big man, he put his left hand on the ground and swept his right foot directly, hitting the big man's right temple. The big man suddenly fell to the left and fell to the ground. Amazing.

All this happened in a flash of lightning. Before the other nine tiger warriors could react, the big man fell. The smiles of the tiger warriors disappeared immediately, and then two tiger warriors looked at each other and got on together, but they only lasted more than ten seconds longer than the big man just now, and were also solved by the knot. The remaining seven tiger warriors saw each other. , said loudly:

"Come together!" Then they rushed towards Zan together.

Ten minutes later...

He stood panting in the military tent, surrounded by ten tiger soldiers lying in random directions, moaning one after another.

"Cai!" King Zhou stood up with a big smile, clapped his hands, walked a few steps forward, and said to his left and right:
"He is truly a ferocious man!"

A young man like a nobleman on the left of King Zhou stared at him and said as if in disbelief:

"There are such brave people in the world!" "Haha, Feng! You are still young! Don't you know that the world is so big, and now that such a brave man has surrendered to me, isn't it true destiny!"

King Zhou said a few words to the noble young master on the left, then turned to the right and said:
"The Duke has surrendered to me now. It is actually a gift from heaven. If you do not take what is given, you will be punished. Since you have such courage, I will temporarily promote you to be a corporal and lead a team. When the expedition against Shang is over, if you can still stand Merit, I will reward you greatly when you are rewarded based on your merits."

He bowed to the King of Zhou and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I just borrowed my brute force. If all the tiger warriors formed a military formation, I would be invincible. However, I also have three brothers who dare to ask the King for a reward. I don't know. Can we be together?"

At this time, King Zhou was in high spirits and said casually: "If I pass the test, I will be placed under your command. If I fail, I will be a slave and become a citizen of the country."

When Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but knelt down and worshiped:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's benevolence is so profound. I hereby swear an oath that I will never rebel against Your Majesty in this life and in future generations."

After hearing this, the King of Zhou quickly walked to the front of Zhuan, Xu helped Zhuan up and said happily: "I heard that there must be warriors among the soldiers! You are now a corporal and a citizen of the country. You don't have to bow frequently. You have to stand up to Zhou." The human backbone!”

After hearing this, Yan was moved to tears. He took a step back, bowed deeply to the King of Zhou and said, "I will not disgrace my status as a Zhou person."

King Zhou nodded happily after hearing this.

After seeing this, he continued:

"I do not dare to disturb the king for a long time. I will leave."

King Zhou nodded in agreement, and upon seeing this, Zhu retreated and left the military tent.

"Brother Wang, Feng still has something to do, please excuse me." The noble young master just said to the King of Zhou.

King Zhou looked at him and said with a smile: "You, you, go!"

Upon hearing this, the noble prince smiled and retreated out of the military tent.

-

"Master, stay!"

As he was walking excitedly on his way to Yousi to receive his reward and certificate, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. He turned around and saw the noble prince behind King Zhou walking towards him quickly.

Zhuan immediately stopped, bowed to the noble master, and said:

"I don't know what the young master is asking me to do. If you can help me, please feel free to tell me."

The noble prince also bowed to Zan and said:

"I am Feng, the ninth brother of King Zhou. I just saw the warrior's demeanor and was astonished. I want to make friends with you."

"I don't dare to talk about making friends. The prince has given orders, but do you dare to disobey me?"

"You are a true warrior. Feng does not dare to be so frivolous. I am just a prince without a fief, and my contribution is not as great as the sergeant guarding Brother Wang's army. Therefore, if you encounter trouble, you can come to the palace to find me with this jade pendant. As long as I can solve it, I will definitely relieve your worries."

As he spoke, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Zan.

Zan thought for a moment, took the jade pendant, bowed to Prince Feng Zuo and said:

"I have just left my slave status now. I don't have any personal connections, and I am afraid of being looked down upon by others. With the prince's jade pendant, no one will dare to bully me at will. It is really an honor for me that the prince takes a fancy to me. I I accept your jade pendant, but I really have nothing to repay you with, I only have this bit of my body left, hoping that I can solve your problems in the future."

This was the first time for the young Wang Zifeng to recruit talents for himself, so he seemed very happy.

After hearing this, Wang Zifeng said happily: "Good! Great good!"

-

On the way to collect the certificate, I touched the jade in my arms and the grass and silk in my hand. I looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that the sky was really vast.

As for why he was so anxious to get his certificate, it was because he was still a slave and had no military card. If he was caught by the patrolman in charge, he would really cry without tears.

POW camp

Wearing a military uniform, with a bronze sword hanging on his waist, with a clean face and a white mark on his eyebrows, Zhu stood in front of the three Su people. Looking at the envious and surprised eyes of the three people, he said:
"how?"

Dog said: "Mighty!" Su said: "Get rich?" Yuan: "..." Yuan's face turned red, but he didn't know how to express it.

He knocked off the dog's paws that were touching his military uniform and said to the three of them: "You are all here, and you have also been deprived of your slave status."

"Really!" The dog jumped so high, and Su was so excited that she burst into tears.

"After more than thirty years of slavery, I am finally free."

Yuan Ye was trembling with excitement, (*^x^*)
"Come on, come with me. Let's go to the city, buy clothes, take a bath, and take your slave status by the way," Zhu Ye said happily.

Then the four of them left in the envious eyes of other prisoners of war, and would never come back again.
