Yan Shouyi has been in the army for more than 20 years since he was fifteen years old. Although he has not been on the battlefield many times because he is not a border guard, he has seen countless elite soldiers and generals in this iron-clad camp. , and also developed a pair of eyes that can identify people and skills, and can basically spot outstanding soldiers at a glance.
This seems to be the innate skill of many veterans.
The moment he saw Niu Laosan's son open his eyes, Yan Shu suddenly had an exciting thought.
Yan Shouyi couldn't help shouting: "This look, these pupils! Oh my God, this is a man born to be a scout."
Hearing this, Xu Boan's eyes flashed.
Good guy, Yan Shuyi’s noble man turns out to be him.
Scouts, at all times and in all countries, are key players in war.
As the saying goes, "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger." It is easy to know yourself, but to know your enemy, you rely heavily on scouts. This is one of the most important roles, the other important role is called "Undercover"!
As we all know, Disguise is an excellent skill for undercover agents. If a good scout happens to be good at Disguise, he will be a natural intelligence soldier!
For the party that owns this scout, it is equivalent to playing a clear card.
In this case, as long as you are not a fool, you can command a victory!
Niu Laosan’s special skill is to change his makeup. Is it normal for his son to have such a skill?
For a time, Xu Boan had already deduced the future of this child.
Xu Bo'an heard Yan Shouyi's muttering clearly, but Niu Laosan was confused.
Hearing Yan Shouyi's muttering, Niu Laosan couldn't bear to ask: "Master Yan, what do you mean by these words?"
Yan Shouyi endured the pain in his heart. Excited, he tried his best to pretend to be kind, smiled at Niu Laosan and said: "Brother, your child is a good soldier. Why not, how about letting him follow me?
Niu Laosan said hesitantly: "Well, is this appropriate? Our family is not a military household!"
The Da Jing Dynasty implemented the military household system, and it was determined that every generation of military households must A person who is not a military household cannot serve as a soldier.
What's more, in this society where wars are frequent, many people would rather be government servants than soldiers. It's too dangerous. , that’s why there is a system like military households. Otherwise, if you don’t think of me, who will protect the country?
Yan Shou patted his chest and promised: “Brother, don’t worry, I will arrange for him to be mine. As a personal guard, I will definitely guide him hand in hand. ”
When saying this, Yan Shouyi still felt a little guilty.
He thought Niu Laosan's child was actually suitable for a scout.
The role of scout can be said to be a confidant or a personal soldier, but it is definitely not a close guard. He must go out to run a single gang to find out information, or penetrate into the enemy to find clues. This is definitely the most dangerous role, and it is absolutely different from the personal guards who surround the leader to protect him.
Thinking of this, Yan Shou felt a little unbearable.
Immediately said hesitantly: "Brother, look at you two, you only have one son in your family, right? Then I won't force you.
Now is the time. In the years of famine and turmoil, even I am living with my head tucked into my waistband. I am ready to sacrifice my life for charity at any time. You only have a single seedling in your family, and I can’t bear to let you suffer the gray hair. It’s so painful to give someone black hair.”
I never thought that Niu Lao San would say, “Sir, I, Niu Lao San, am indeed the only son, but our Lao Niu family is not a coward. You and I I have a great kindness,
If it weren’t for you, my lord, I might not be able to see Grandpa Mountain God today, and my poor child would not be able to get treatment, not to mention that you gave me so much money.
This kid will suffer if he follows me. I want him to follow you, firstly, to find a way out, and secondly, if I can have a chance to protect you, it can be regarded as our Lao Niu family’s way of repaying your kindness. "
What Niu Laosan said is true. Although he comes every day these days, he has never offered incense. According to his method, he will not be able to summon Xu Bo'an even if he waits for many days. .
Fortunately, thanks to Yan Shouyi's light, we had this opportunity today. This can be regarded as the fate between the two.
Hearing Niu Laosan's words, Yan Shui felt ashamed for a while, and the tough-minded man's eyes were red.
Just now he was thinking of tricking Niu Lao San into asking his son to join him in the army. He never thought that Niu Lao San was a person who always repaid his kindness.
Yan Shou glanced back and shouted: "Here comes someone."
Soon, the attendant standing outside the door trotted in.
"What are your orders, sir?"
Yan Shou said in a deep voice: "How much money do we still have with us?"
The entourage thought for a moment and answered. He said: "If I tell you, sir, there are still thirteen taels left."
Yan Shouyi asked: "Do you have any money with you? How much is it?"
The attendant replied respectfully: " The villain has one tael of silver on him and more than 50 coins in loose money.”
Yan Shouyi stretched out his hand and said: "Bring them all, lend them to me first."
"Yes!" The attendant took out the money, presented his hands in front of Yan Shouyi, and said: "Sir, please take a look."
Yan Shouyi naturally didn’t know how to count, so he took the money, handed it to Niu Laosan and said, “Brother, in this case, you take the money first, it will be regarded as the military salary I paid him first. , I will go to Qingmu Banner to take up my post first. After the child recovers a little in a few days, I will send someone to pick him up."
Niu Laosan hurriedly waved his hands and declined: "This can't be done, sir, you just did it. You gave me so much money, that's enough. How can I ask for so much more?"
Yan Shouyi said sternly: "Nonsense, this can't be confused, these are after your son enlisted in the army. I just paid him the salary first, and I will take it back later, right?”
Niu Laosan shook his head hurriedly and said, “No, no! That’s not the intention.”
Yan Shouyi then put the money into Niu Laosan’s hand and said, “Well, you have to accept the money, otherwise I will think you will regret it, and I will too. I won’t feel at ease.”
Hearing what Yan Shouyi said, Niu Laosan had no choice but to accept the money.
Then Yan Shouyi arranged for his entourage to help carry Niu Laosan’s son out of Tushan Temple. Niu Laosan knelt down and worshiped the statue before saying goodbye.
Xu Boan saw that he had nothing to do here and did not stay long. He left in the blink of an eye and his eyes returned to the leaves on the tree again.
Looking down, I saw that it was already getting late, and the day had passed so quickly. Not far away, the mountain-protecting little fur god Xiong Da and the pangolin beast Da Chuan were still sucking the bones of the roast chicken reluctantly.
Look, these two guys are also very picky eaters.
In the past, when Xiong Xiazi ate, he would not only eat bones, but even feathers and swallow them in one gulp. Not to mention the Pangolin, this guy can even bite diamonds into pieces.
Now that they have eaten a few cooked roast chickens, the two little guys have become more refined. After eating the meat, they didn't even eat the bones.
So sometimes, you really can’t raise it too carefully. If this happens, it will be difficult to manage in the future.
Xu Bo'an was just thinking about teaching these two little guys what "everything is hard" means, when he suddenly felt a feeling of relief, and then found that eight strands of rays were added to his body. The power of incense and desire. Immediately, a strong summoning feeling came, and at the same time, a transparent bubble appeared in front of him. Although the bubble was very obvious, Xu Boan could still clearly identify that it was the Chenghuang Square of Shanyang City. Xu Boan this time Without hesitation, he directly clicked on the transparent bubble that appeared in front of him and went through it instantly.
The next moment, Xu Boan felt himself appearing in the Chenghuang Square of Shanyang City.
In sight, not far from the statue of the City God, the young master who once sat on a carriage and could summon him by verbal summons was kneeling on a futon there.
In the incense burner in front of him, there are three standing incense sticks as thick as fists. They are not cheap at first glance, how generous they are! This gesture is worthy of a young master from a wealthy family.
Moreover, this person has brought eight wisps of incense to him, and the increase in his willpower is comparable to that of the oiran Chen Shishi. This person's identity is definitely not simple.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but marvel. This young master is indeed different from others. When others call him, the incense he puts on does not count towards the increase of the incense's wish, but only exists as a stepping stone.
As for the young master in front of him, when he verbally summons him, the feeling of summoning will be transmitted to Xu Boan, and then the incense will purely increase Xu Boan's incense and wish power.
The young master clasped his hands together, knelt down three times, and then spoke loudly.
"Your Excellency, the City God, is here. Duan Xiaoshan, a descendant of the Duan family in southern Xinjiang, is asking to see the City God."
"This junior brings the token of his ancestor Duan Qiming to ask for help. I hope that you can do something to my father." Help."
Xu Bo'an was confused when he heard the young master's appeal.
Southern Xinjiang? Duan? Keepsake?
I have heard of the Duan family in Dali!
Joking is a joke, of course this cannot be confused.
Xu Bo'an wanted to ask the other party what was going on, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
After all, I am representing a god now. It is really contrary to my identity to not even know this.
Although he can use the "Fortune Divination Sutra" to calculate, he can't calculate the results when it comes to his own affairs, so Xu Bo'an is now a little helpless.
Xu Bo'an thought helplessly, if only he could know the cause and effect of this matter.
The next moment, Xu Boan felt the trembling of the incense's will power.
It seems that this can be achieved.
Xu Bo'an, who had just obtained the power of eight wisps of incense, was now generous. He immediately thought silently in his mind, "Use the power of the incense to understand the causes and consequences of this matter."
In an instant, Xu Bo'an's incense and wish were gone.
Then, Xu Boan felt a memory pouring into his mind, which was the cause and effect of this incident.
It turns out that hundreds of years ago, this man who received the mountain god's inheritance was once a poor scholar.
He spent all the money he had on his way to Beijing to take the exam because he fell ill.
Fortunately, I met Duan Qiming, a descendant of the Wang Duan family with a different surname in southern Xinjiang of the Great Jing Dynasty. At that time, the Da Jing Dynasty had not yet unified the world. The Duan family guarded the southern border and held a very important position. They were granted the title of King with a different surname. However, the inheritance of the title could only be passed on to one person, so the other Duan family children either had to make contributions themselves or participate. Only by taking the imperial examination can one inherit the family business and enter an official career.
At that time, Duan Qiming, who had just left southern Xinjiang, was very charitable and helped many people along the way. When he met the poor scholar, he naturally helped him and spent a lot of money to cure the poor scholar's illness.
Then during the conversation, the two hit it off. After learning that the other party was also in Beijing to take the exam, they even went together.
Duan Qiming helped poor scholars along the way and successfully completed the exam.
Unexpectedly, just before the announcement of the imperial list, a major case of favoritism and fraud was reported in Kyoto. Duan Qiming was listed as a suspect due to some coincidences, and was later misjudged, resulting in the cancellation of the exam results.
The poor scholar who came with Duan Qiming was innocently implicated because of their close relationship and the logic of "I would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't have", and his exam results were cancelled.
Duan Qiming felt ashamed and invited the poor scholar to southern Xinjiang, willing to give him a future in his own fiefdom.
Although the poor scholar has his original intention, he needs to first go back to his hometown and ask his mother who raised him alone. After all, his parents are here and they will not travel far away. Moreover, this world also has a tradition that the fate of parents is greater than the destiny of heaven.
The poor scholar's family is in another place. It takes two or three months to travel to Kyoto, and nearly half a year to go back and forth.
According to the situation at the time, Duan Qiming needed to stay in Kyoto to undergo investigation.
According to the laws of the capital, Duan Qiming, a descendant of the opposite-sex royal family, cannot leave his fief without any reason. Even if he comes to participate in the scientific examination, he cannot stay in Kyoto for more than half a year.
If you are still in Kyoto after half a year, you will be deemed to have entered the capital unannounced, which is a crime of treason.
That is to say, Duan Qiming has to stay in the capital for half a year and cannot go anywhere. After half a year, he must return to the fiefdom and is not allowed to go out without any reason.
So, the two agreed for half a year. If the poor scholar wanted to, he could come to Kyoto to find him. Duan Qiming had been waiting for him in Kyoto for the past six months and would take him or his whole family to southern Xinjiang.
If he is unwilling, Duan Qiming will return to southern Xinjiang on his own after the expiration of the term.
Originally, the poor scholar was planning to leave with his mother. After all, he was guilty of "favoritism in the imperial examination" and there was no good development in the local area.
But he didn’t expect that when he rushed home, he found that something had happened at home.
The mother of the poor scholar gave all the money at home to her children to support her children, and she struggled to survive by saving food rations. Due to malnutrition and overwork, her mother died not long after he left home. .
Because his mother passed away at home, the poor scholar was devastated. After all, he had a great responsibility for his mother's death. For a moment, he went crazy, and then he stayed at home to mourn his mother.
Until the half-year agreement was about to expire, a letter from the capital suddenly woke him up. The letter was naturally sent by Duan Qiming. The main message of the letter was that it was nearly half a year ago and the poor scholar had not received the letter yet. He was about to return to southern Xinjiang.
After reading the letter, the poor scholar remembered that he had an appointment with someone else for half a year.
But getting up now is definitely too late under normal circumstances.
The poor scholar thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an amazing way to keep his promise. (End of this chapter)
