In order to add fuel to the fire and let Da Chun marry his wife, Mr. Yang asked someone to make a statue in the shape of a divine bird, put the statue in front of the main room, and hung a red cloth on it.

When the villagers bring offerings, they don't need to go inside to see the divine bird, they just send it to the statue. In the past, when the villagers came to send offerings, they would go to Dachun's house, and they could also tease the divine bird.

In this way, the statue of the divine bird is even more mysterious, and it really looks like that.

There are laborers in the village who go out to work, and when they encounter important family events, they will come to send some grain to the statue of the divine bird when they get married.

By the time the first buds appeared on the branches, the snow had melted.

When the old man was eating, he inadvertently asked Xuefu, now that the mountain road is easy to walk, when will Xuefu leave?

Da Chun was also present, and his face turned pale with fright when he heard this.

Xue Fu replied to his grandfather without any expression: "It will take a while."

Mr. Yang stopped talking.

Two days later, Fourteen brought a message, and the distant relatives of the daughter-in-law's natal family wrote back. Not only did they reply, but they also sent a box of chestnut rice with a piece of red paper stuck on the box.

The farmer's reply was very general.It is said that the god bird is an immortal in the sky, and my daughter dare not climb high, so there is no reason to serve a husband with an immortal. I only hope that the god bird will bless my great Qin country with abundant grains and prosperous prosperity.

Mr. Yang's expression looked like he had eaten shit, and he added a play to himself, and the performance was too much, which scared away the woman who was married.

Xuefu smiled. If he didn't know the inside story, he would definitely feel that what the woman's family said was very reasonable, but he knew it. Seeing that Mr. Yang was heartbroken because of Dachun's marriage, and seeing that the play of the god bird was ruined, he wanted to pretend again. I don't know what to do, I'm going to laugh out my internal injuries.

Dachun doesn't care, it doesn't matter whether he marries a wife or not, he is only sad that brother Xue said that he will go back in a few days, can we see each other again after this farewell?

Uneasy and anxious all day long, until things turned around. As soon as Dachun was rejected for marriage, Xuefu proposed to Mr. Yang that he wanted to stay for a long time, and wanted to build a house in the village and take root.

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

When Xuefu came here to play, he gave the old man fifteen gold as a reward. It is common to participate in labor and share food during the visit, but it is another matter to take root in this village.

Xiahou Yang's family has lived here for more than [-] years, how can they accommodate people with foreign surnames?

Brother Xue wanted to stay here for a long time without discussing with Dachun, but since Brother Xue proposed, Dachun desperately wanted to keep Brother Xue.

It was inconvenient for Grandpa Yang to refuse directly, so he had to call the clansmen for a meeting, and all the uncles who lived in the ancestral house came.

Dachun cooked the rice that was offered by the divine bird, and served it to his uncles as snacks for drinking during the meeting. With such a casual and courteous attitude, the uncles naturally understood where Dachun was standing. of.

Every uncle is a person with status in the village. At a young age, each one is the head of his own family, and at an older age, each one is a respected elder in the clan.

Most of the uncles have military merits, and even those without military merits have sons who are earning military merits in the army. No one is afraid of anyone, and everyone's words are important.

Everyone has a question, if Xue Fu stays here for a long time, how will his family arrange it.

Xuefu took out a short family letter and wrote that his wife, Yin, died of illness, and that his younger brother was an adult and wanted to take his elder brother's place in the army.

The short family letter explained the situation of Xuefu's family.

Xuefu also has a younger brother who is two years younger. The Qin army conscripted soldiers, and they get one for two. Xuefu has been in the army for three years. Take turns to go out.

Xuefu's father was still in the army and had only his mother and his younger brother's wife to accompany him at home. Serving his mother was a daughter-in-law's job. If he was not critically ill, a man who went out would not go home easily.

After learning about Xue Fu's situation, the uncles went back to the house to discuss the matter one after another. Naturally, they wanted to avoid outsiders.

They are all loud, and they are not willing to give in when arguing.

The opposition believes that people with foreign surnames should not stay. Although our Xia Houyang family is a down-and-out gentry, they were once rich and powerful, and they are not from the mountains.

Those who are in favor believe that there are advantages to staying. The gentry is down and out, and each family has its own family. There is a high probability of exodus of single-family males. It is a matter of time to take in people with foreign surnames to settle down. Since this step will be taken sooner or later, staying later is worse than staying early Therefore, it is better to act first, and it is very good to attribute the outflowing young men to the village.

The old man Yang never said a word.

The result of continuing the debate is that since you want to stay, you must give a deadline, and you can't leave a reckless man for Xiahou Yang's trespassing goods, you have to test whether he is qualified.

How to test is another question, Yang Bing said: "Xuefu and Heifu have a love affair, and they joined forces with Dachun to kill the bear. The brave ones don't need to test martial arts anymore. The rest of the test is of course resourcefulness."

All the uncles sat in a circle at the top, and Xuefu was invited to stand in the lower hall, looking like a triumvirate of judges.

Yang Bing read the question: "I heard that Xuefu also came from a family of scholars. May I ask Xuefu, what is your opinion on the family of scholars reformed in the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Dachun was shocked, this question is too big, no matter how you answer it, you can't answer it satisfactorily, because everyone has their own ideas.

Xuefu thought for a while: "Shang Yang advocates attacking the strong with the strong. For example, the Xiahou Yang family and my Bai family are examples of strengthening the people. If the scholar family is weakened, it will be broken into parts, and they will be weakened if they set up separate schools. If there are many strong people, our Qin State is weak; if there are many weak people, our Qin State is strong.”

Yang Bing was secretly startled, he didn't expect this kid to be in his twenties, to have such a view.

Most of the uncles missed the glory of the family, and thought that the Yang family was a first-class big family in the summer, and now they are all divided into households, divided into dozens of households, and the farmland, gold and silver are divided into dozens of shares. Look, each household has a lot of money, at least several times richer than the untouchable families, but in fact they cannot be united, and the consumption is huge.

If the Xia Houyang family wants to return to the prosperity of the past, it does not lack male men, but only a resourceful patriarch.

As the future head of the clan, Yang Dachun, a brave man has no fear, but foresight is not enough. If Xue Fu is left as Dachun's master, he will remind him when encountering major events. The future of the clan needs such a good talent.

The uncles went back to their houses and closed the door to exchange ideas, and unexpectedly they had the same opinion. Except for the two who were neutral, the rest agreed to keep Xuefu.

Yang Bing said solemnly: "It would be great if Xuefu is a woman, just marry Dachun directly, and take her husband's surname."

Da Chun blushed again, how could Uncle Bing bring this up in public, but if Brother Xue really married him, it would be pretty good, since her husband's surname is her own family.

Uncle Ding came out to announce the result, and the tribe agreed to make a gentleman's treaty with Xuefu, and Xuefu lived here temporarily for a year.

It is limited to one year. After one year, we will sign a contract for Xuefu to stay in the village forever.

Although there was an intention to evade, it also gave a buffer time.

Since it is a long-term residence, Yang Bing bluntly said that he can't live in Dachun's house forever. In Dachun's house, there is a lady of the bird, and Xuefu eats and lives together.

For the first year of long-term living, there is no need to build a new house. Find a vacant house in the village for Xuefu to live in!

The one-year period is up, and after signing the contract, Xuefu will open an account and build a house, and it will not be too late to build a new house.

The old man Yang nodded in satisfaction.

This matter was done well, not only meeting Dachun's request to keep Xuefu, but also satisfying the request of the old man Yang, so that Dachun and Xuefu should not live together, it is better to stay far away.

Now that the matter is settled, the question arises again, where should Xuefu live?

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Dachun took the initiative to say: "You can live in my elder brother Heifu's house."

Everyone: "..."

Heifu died in battle, and Heifu's wife died of dystocia last year. The house is vacant. The two houses were built ten years ago, and they are not too old. Now they are placed there and let the villagers pile firewood. , but this house can be sorted out for a year.

Of course Xuefu didn't dislike it, he just said it was very good, very good.

Heifu's house was close to his ancestral house, and Dachun Tiyi lived here for the convenience of finding Xuefu, and he couldn't hide his intentions from anyone.

Old Mrs. Yang made a decision that it is okay to live in Heifu's house, but he has to pay a certain amount of labor to obtain it. Now that Dachun can't use his left hand, Xuefu has to undertake the heavy work in the house in exchange for the conditions of living in this house.

Schiff complied.

At night, Dachun didn't dare to touch Xuefu at all, and the two slept on the kang, thinking about their own thoughts.

Dachun knew that brother Xue was not afraid, and he didn't believe in this divine bird.But he was afraid that his misbehavior towards Xuedi would offend Shenniao, and he was a little worried if Huo harmed Xuedi.

He didn't dare to tell Brother Xue that he had scruples about Shenniao, so he didn't say anything at all. He only hoped that tomorrow morning he would clean up Heifu's house and let Brother Xue move there early, so that he would have a place to talk to Brother Xue. Lu messed up.

Xuefu thought to himself, finally stayed. Although it was only a year, it is good to have a year of peace and comfort. As for this period of time, why did Brother Chun treat him coldly, and he didn't talk much at night, holding back the pain in his hands I don't need him to help untie his belt, he really didn't think about what to care about, he is a person with a cold personality, so if he fades away, let it fade away!

Yang Dachun called two clan brothers and took all the meals for the clan brothers. The three of them cleaned Heifu's house in just one day. The bedding was a few years ago. He secretly brought his new quilt and put it on. This new set of quilt was newly added by the old man for his son to marry a wife.

Now that Dachun has identified Brother Xue, this new set of quilts is just right.

That night, Dachun heated the kang, took Xuefu, and led the jujube horse, and it was officially moved.

Dachun insisted on sharing the new quilt with Xuedi on the grounds that the house was not occupied for a long time and people lacked yang energy.

The two were lying on the bed, and Da Chun smelled the fresh sunshine, feeling extremely defiant.

Xuefu's tepid appearance made Dachun a little angry, and he felt like he had a hot face against someone's cold butt, as if he had done so much, but he couldn't get back a warm word from Brother Xue.

Da Chun couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Brother Xue under the blanket.

When Xuefu was attacked, his body's first reaction was to turn over and subdue the attacker.

Dachun's left hand was weak, and he was riding on his lower back by brother Xue. His left palm was just pressed under his belly, and the pain made tears flow down his face.

Knowing that he had hurt Chun's hand, Xue Fu hurriedly sat down again.

"Brother Chun, are you okay? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

"What sneak attack? I'm hugging you, I like you, Brother Xue, I, I really like you."

Dachun couldn't care less about it anymore, and spoke out all the words in his heart in one go.

"Brother Xue, I'm sick. I'm so sick that I don't want to marry a wife. I just want to be with you day and night. What should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere froze, and after a while Xuefu asked, "Brother Chun, do you understand me?"

Da Chun couldn't answer again.

Xue Fu said earnestly: "I know you haven't married a wife yet, and you are lonely all night long. I have been in the military camp for three years, and I have seen this kind of thing too. Men and men comfort each other a lot, but there is a condition, both parties must be willing and never force it. .”

Da Chun blushed and defended: "I'm not the kind of person you think, I'm serious about you."

Xuefu was startled, looked at Da Chun for a long time, and then slowly said: "Brother Chun, Zhuo Jingyin is not dead, that letter from the family was written with my left hand, just to stay. If Brother Chun wants me to leave because of this, I will leave."

Yin is still alive, and the family letter is forged, these words are like pouring cold water on his head.

Dachun wondered: "Brother Xue, I only care about you, but why do you make up a story to stay?"

"You want to know?"

nod.

Xue Fu sighed: "Shang Yang has two techniques for governing the country. One is to destroy the business, and the grain cannot be bought and sold. The other is to control the people. There are five techniques: to fool the people; to weaken the people; to weary the people; to humiliate the people; to be poor; "

Da Chun opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"The "Shang Jun Shu" says that if good people govern traitors, the world will be in chaos; if traitors are used to govern good people, good people can only swallow their anger. In this way, the world will be orderly, and Qin will be strong. Qin has only one people under its rule. All the people are soldiers. This book is a collection of the ugliness of the Legalists..." Xue Fu said seriously: "Brother Chun, do you still want to listen?"

Datsubaki nodded mechanically.

"My uncle and father both joined the army, and neither of them had their own opinions. They clearly killed people in a cold-blooded way, and they thought they deserved the most credit. I disagreed with them, and they quarreled and refused to give in to each other, so I didn't want to go home. And you The Xiahou Yang Clan, which is indifferent to the world, is like a paradise, which is very attractive to me, and I don't want to leave. This is the reason."

Dachun never knew that Brother Xue thought this way, he knew that Brother Xue was very stubborn.

"Then what did you say to Uncle Bing?"

"Oh, I'm talking nonsense. Those words were said by my father, and they don't represent my point of view."

Da Chun: "..."

On the night of moving, the two barely slept.

Dachun told him very seriously: "Brother Xue, I treat you sincerely. I don't want to comfort you because I'm lonely all night long. I want to know my brother, but I can't ask for it. I toss and turn. I only hope to hold hands with my brother and grow old together. "

It was quiet again between the two of them.

Xue Fu said: "I hate myself so much, what else can you like?"

Seeing that Dachun was unrelenting, Xuefu said again: "Brother Chun, I treat you like a brother, and you treat me like a brother, isn't that good? I'm not as beautiful as you think. Do you know how many people I have killed?"

Da Chun doubted: "It's right to join the army and kill people, so it's not good? Just because of this, Brother Xue hates himself?"

The two of them lay on the kang, neither in the mood to sleep.

"Brother Chun, do you think human nature is evil? Or is human nature good?"

"You want to listen to my heart? My father taught me that human nature is inherently evil. But I think that human nature is inherently good. But I only dare to tell Xuedi this. If my father finds out, he will definitely scold me."

Xue Fu said: "Me too, not only my people, but also the Great Qin State all respect the Legalists. The Legalists Xun said that human nature is evil, eyes are lustful, ears are pleasant to hear, taste is pleasant, heart is fond of profit, and bones and skin are delightful." Yi. It is also said that there is no difference from Yao and Shun to the common people, and the most worthy of glory in the world is to control political power. King Qin respected legalism and ruled the country, and Shang Yang's reform can be successful. And I think that the human nature advocated by Confucianism is good. way of governing."

In the dark, Dachun couldn't see Xuedi's face clearly, but he felt that Xuedi's views were indeed extraordinary. Dachun once talked back to his master in the academy, eloquently argued Confucianism, made the master so angry that he was so angry, he yelled at ignorant children and talked nonsense.For this matter, the old man Yang and the elders of the clan specially gave Dachun a few private lessons, specially for Dachun to teach the law. What's more, in fact, these years, I have been secretly reading Confucian books.It never occurred to me that Brother Xue actually held the same point of view as him.

The two of them began to talk about the difference between Confucianism and Legalism. Of course, I only dare to talk about it on the bed at night. If it is on weekdays, discussing Confucianism will make everyone angry.

Legalists believe that babies need to eat and drink when they are born, and cry when they are not given. This is an extremely selfish evil. Become a bad person, a wicked person, so strict discipline and laws are extremely important.

Confucianism believes that babies are born like a blank sheet of paper, with similar temperaments, and kindness is the most important quality. Without kindness, this society will become bleak and devoid of humanity.

The two share their thoughts and ideas.

The two have similar wealth backgrounds, and many topics and attitudes towards things are so similar.

After this night, Dachun felt that he had begun to really understand Xuedi. He felt that there was a sense of harmony between his soul and Xuedi. There were many joys and dislikes. It is a deeper integration besides the confidant and the partner.

The spring plowing has begun, and every spring plowing has to go to the ancestral hall to worship Qi’s ancestors. The school is located in the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time. There are fallen leaves and dirt in the three halls and two summer house ditch. It grows to be two feet high.

Mrs. Yang wants to come forward to completely renovate the main ancestral hall, and various affairs are also in progress.

After worshiping the ancestors, it is the arrangement of spring plowing.

Da Chun's left palm has not recovered, so according to his father's wishes, he can only stay on the loom in the ancestral house and do the work of weaving.

Xuefu and the young men in the village will definitely participate in spring plowing. Xuefu has no arable land, and what he cultivates is the small land of the three brothers of Dachun's family.

Although the three brothers of the Dachun family have separated households and set up their own families, they still adopt a unified model for farming and labor. It is a busy figure.

After all, Xuefu is a man with a foreign surname, and he is a bit out of tune with the boys who grew up with him in this village.

The men and women in this village all grew up together. The friendship established when cutting grass and firewood, floating water, and digging out bird eggs, and the friendship established in the school, these are what Xuefu did not have, but in order to integrate into the village as soon as possible, Xuefu also learned a lot. Do it, ask if you don't understand.

Dachun was worried that Xuefu would have conflicts with others, and he couldn’t sit still on the loom. He had to drink water after weaving five feet of cloth, and had to shit after weaving another five feet. Pain to go back to the house to rest.

The uncles all gathered on the looms in the ancestral house. The uncles were old, and it was difficult to plow the fields at the age of 50 or [-], so they were all assigned to the looms.

Dachun put down his work and ran out to take a look. Standing on the open space outside the ancestral house on the top of the mountain, he raised his eyes and saw the figures working in the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain. The seedlings are neat and straight, although the two can't communicate, but it's good to find an excuse to come out and take a look.

At noon, the women began to deliver meals to the fields, and the uncles sat in front of the looms for a long time, and only now stretched out of the ancestral house to have a look.

Although Yang Bing has only one eye, but his eyes are quite good, and he recognized Xue Fu's figure smaller than a sesame seed at a glance. Yang Bing pointed out to the brothers in the next room: "Look, Xue Fu is capable of literary and martial arts, and he is still planting rice seedlings." It’s a good hand, the well is horizontal and vertical, if you don’t have ten or eight years of skill, you really don’t have this skill.”

All the uncles said that Xuefu is good at doing farm work. He is indeed a good man from Daqin.

Dachun felt even more pleased when he heard that, and felt that Brother Xue gave him too much face, and he must be very relieved to hand over his family's cultivated land to Brother Xue.

The old man Yang observed for a few days, but still did not express his opinion.

Yang Bing and Yang Ding had the best friendship with the old man, and they sat in the yard with earthen bowls between meals, and occasionally said something nice to the old man about Xue Fu.

"I said, big brother, don't be dissatisfied. It is enough for Dachun to have a mistress of the bird. If you want me to say that Xuefu can just be your godson, what's wrong with having multiple males in the family and Dachun having multiple younger brothers? I don't think it's a big deal if the girl wants to marry Dachun, and Dachun won't die of starvation from the offerings of the lady of the bird, right?"

The old man Yang snorted softly: "Why is our Dachun not getting married? If he doesn't get married, whoever will give birth to him will give birth to a son. When the time comes, I will kick my legs and leave first. I won't have the face to see my father. Xuefu is good. But he can't have a son. I know what you two are thinking. If I allow Dachun and Xuefuta to live together, who will the patriarch be in the future? You both have sons and grandchildren, so there will be no hindrance in becoming the patriarch in the future, right? "

Yang Ding said: "Hey, I said big brother, we both have good intentions, don't spout blood."

Yang Bing said again: "Big brother, you can't force Dachun's marriage. Don't worry, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Maybe one day our old things will disappear. In the future, Yangcun will still rely on these young people." , why do you want to go so far?"

The old man Yang put down the earthen bowl and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "Huh, without long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries. You two stop talking, Dachun is under my nose, and I can't turn the sky."

During the busy farming period, the women in the village are responsible for making meals, and when they return home at sunset, they prepare the meals by themselves.

Xuefu collected the farm tools, and he didn't need to start a fire to cook when he went home, because Dachun would run here at a fixed time, and Dachun would take care of all the night food delivered.

Every afternoon, the women in the ancestral house began to make night food, and Da Chun would order more to be made.Naihe everyone's food supply is limited, so Dachun took out the gift of the sacred bird, saying that this food is counted as Xuefu's, so let's make it together.

The old man Yang didn't make a sound to stop him, so of course the woman wouldn't argue anymore, she took it and steamed it in the pot together.

Xuefu was also embarrassed to eat free food, so he returned to the house after collecting the farm work for a brief rest, and went to the ancestral house to chop firewood. The woman then smiled, and Xuefu was quite sensible.

There was no nightlife in the farmhouse, and it was time to rest after going back to the house at sunset to eat night food. Dachun began to quietly transfer his private collection to Xuefu's room, which was full of miscellaneous books.

In addition to the legalist books, all other books of the Qin people are collectively referred to as miscellaneous books.

These days were the happiest days Dachun lived. The two of them leaned against each other under the lamp, sometimes arguing for a long time over a single sentence.

Dachun thinks that Brother Xue is very talented, he should be a scholar, and has unique insights into many miscellaneous books, and these insights cannot be explained by the teachers in the village.

It's a pity that the people of Qin didn't offer imperial examinations. At that time, there was no saying that all things were inferior and only students were high. Great Qin only emphasized farming and military force, and the only way to advance was to join the army.

Dachun often thought that if King Qin could hear Brother Xue's opinion, maybe he would give Brother Xue an official position.

When Da Chun said this idea.

Xue Fu listened and said with a smile: "Brother Chun, you are joking. I have a system of three lords and nine ministers in the Great Qin Dynasty. There is only one voice from top to bottom. The Legalists are in power. My opinions are useless to them. If I argue with them, they will definitely attract people." If you attack them in groups, I will tell you these views, even my people regard me as a different kind, not to mention those old antiques on the temple that follow the steps."

Dachun felt very warm when he heard that, these words really cannot be said to outsiders, and Brother Xue also believed in him, so he talked about these things with him.

The two of them read the book, and Dachun was busy going back to his ancestral house. Before going to bed, he had to go to his father's house to say good night. Although he slept with Brother Xue every night, these etiquettes were still indispensable. .

Dachun is not in a hurry to do some intimate actions with Xuedi, lest Xuedi misunderstand him because of the long night of loneliness. He really doesn't want to only comfort each other with Xuedi for a short time, but wants to be with Xuedi for a long time Together, and this requires the tribe to fully accept Brother Xue.

The two lay on the bed and talked to each other about their childhood growth experiences.

Xuefu's good farm work is also the result of my father's strict education. My father is very strict. In his spare time, he only practices martial arts and labor. Xuefu is the eldest son. He has been expected by his father since he was a child. He didn't like to read Legalism, and he always read some miscellaneous books in secret, and became angry. At the age of seventeen, he signed up for his son to join the army. After three years in the military camp, Xuefu met all the children of the Legalist school. Helping the nearby farmers to work in the fields, plowing the fields and planting rice seedlings for Brother Da Chun after the spring of this year, the skills are still quite good.

Dachun told Brother Xue that the elders of the tribe have taken your hard work these days into consideration, and thought that Brother Xian is very good, and their evaluation has also become higher. Today, Uncle Bing and Uncle Ding asked Father to accept Brother Xian as a foster son, so that Brother Xian can stay at my house for a long time. Although my father has not agreed to it for the time being, in my opinion, my father is still a little tempted.

Xuefu felt very heart-warming when he heard it. It turned out that so many elders in Yangcun spoke for him, and he also knew that the old man Yang was jealous of him, so he tried his best to draw a line with Brother Chun openly and secretly, just to avoid suspicion. The old man Yang likes him, so he must keep a distance from Brother Chun.

The farming work of transplanting rice seedlings has come to an end. Dachun’s family has a lot of fields, and Xuefu is more tired relatively.

The work of the wooden weaving frame in the ancestral house will not stop. Whether it is busy or slack, the wooden weaving frame is in motion all day long.

That day, Mr. Zhi walked up the mountain path and came to the ancestral house of Xiahou Yang's family to look for Mrs. Yang.

Lord Youzhi manages the small township, and the official rank belongs to the last level of Daqin. Many things that need to be notified to run errands are done by Lord Youzhi.

Mrs. Yang chatted with Mr. Youzhi about this year's conscription, labor, corvée, etc., read out some notifications that had just been distributed by Yanjun, counties and townships, and registered the baby born in the winter of Xiahou Yang's family. Nothing happened. Thin, can not fall.

Mr. Zhi stayed in the ancestral house to drink tea, because a baby boy was just born in Tianyang Village the day before, and he had not yet named it. That's it for today, Mr. Chi is waiting for you.

Yang Bing and Yang Ding also sat around Mr. Youzhi and chatted about some anecdotes together.

Mr. Youzhi looked very mysterious: "Speaking of anecdotes, I heard one here. A few days ago, I went to the county magistrate's house to pass it on. It happened that the county captain Zuo Tuen also came. The Zuo Tuen and I are from the same family. , Commander Zuo said that three months ago a great event happened in the army."

Yang Bingqi said: "Oh, let's hear it."

"I heard that one of them ran away..." Youzhi continued: "What kind of salary is it? Bing must know. The annual salary of two hundred shi is enough for me to wait for ordinary people for three years. This matter has not yet been announced. , it is speculated that he defected to Zhao State."

This is great news. If the news is true, it will be incredible.

Yang Bing put his hands in his sleeves, gossiping: "Why do you want to run, don't you have to kill four armored soldiers to get this military merit, and it is very difficult to kill an armored officer as an enemy general To kill a soldier, at least [-] soldiers must be killed. Moreover, the functions of the fourth-level army are divided into five farmlands, five untouchable slaves, the family is entrusted, and the father and son are passed on, how could they go to Zhao Guo?"
