Chapter 39: Good Men Don't Fight Women
In this era, conscripting people to serve, it is likely that there will be no return, in those poor mountains and bad water to build roads and bridges, in addition to the threat of jackals, tigers and leopards and other wild beasts, there are all kinds of unexpected situations, injuries, poisoning, plagues, etc., if you are not careful, you will die in Huangquan and never come back.
"Big ...... My lord, seeing that the summer grain is about to be harvested, can't we wait until next month? Uncle Ma asked in a shudder.
The black-faced man sighed and said: "Why don't you want to be the county commander, but this is an order from the capital Xianyang, who dares to disobey, and besides, you are also lucky this time, originally the county should have recruited six thousand people, but our master craftsman in Qinghe Town made a logging weapon, which was greatly praised and affirmed by the county commander and the county guard, so this time the county only recruited two thousand people for the time being, if it were not for the credit of the master, your Xiaohe Village would need to recruit more than ten people, so don't be lucky, arrange it as soon as possible!" ”
"And what's the second thing?" Uncle Ma was stunned for a moment, nodded with an ugly face and asked.
"I'll tell you the second thing myself!" The girl on the back of the red horse raised her hand to stop the black-faced man's words, and drove the horse forward a few steps, and the villagers were slightly frightened and hugged the children to get out of the way.
In the end, the jujube red horse stood two meters away from Chen Xu, the girl looked at Chen Xu coldly and condescendingly, the hot air spewing out of the horse's nose almost vomited Chen Xu, and her face twitched and she retreated four or five steps back.
"You said that you killed the four-zhang snake last time, and even my father praised you as a young hero several times, so today I came to compete with you!"
"What?" Chen Xu didn't turn his head for a while, and looked at the girl dumbfounded.
"Are you deaf? I said I wanted to compete with you! The girl said angrily.
Chen Xu: ......
Uncle Ma: ......
Whole Village: ......
"For ...... Why? Chen Xu felt that he was arched by a wild boar, and then his mind was full of paste, completely confused by the girl's useless competition.
"What? You're afraid, aren't you a young hero who killed the four-zhang big snake, in a word, dare not compare, if you don't dare, don't say that you have killed the four-zhang big snake in the future, and don't go around saying that you are a young hero! As the girl spoke, she drew a short golden sword from her waist, the sharp blade of which shone with a golden glow in the sunlight, piercing the eyes of the man.
Chen Xu has 10,000 heads of Erha jumping wildly in his heart, when did I say that I was a young hero? Also, when was Lao Tzu afraid?
However, judging from the twenty-five years of life experience he has in later life, and then according to the accumulation of two thousand years of civilization development, and then according to the performance of the three assistants brought by the girl and the pavilion chief, this girl's origin is not simple, and she is so domineering, is she ......
No way! A vague conjecture appeared in his mind, Chen Xu couldn't help but shudder, and then said with a smile: "The sword has no eyes, forget about the competition, or let's compare something else?" ”
"Than what?"
"How about singing?"
The girl's hand shook, and the short sword in her hand almost fell and stabbed the horse's back, and the pavilion chief and the other three people who came with her shook their bodies at the same time and almost fell off the horse's back.
The people in the village lowered their heads one by one, holding their breath and not daring to laugh.
Compared with singing, this handsome little lady is really unlikely to sing the love song prince Chen Xu in the village, the duet in the morning has completely conquered the whole village, and when they are working, everyone is humming in their mouths that the husband and wife will return home.
"You are still not a man, our Great Qin has the most important military exploits, and the most advocating bravery, can you Chu people sing?" The girl held the short sword tightly and said coldly.
"Do you know that if what you just said gets out, it will bring you the destruction of your family!" Chen Xu said calmly.
"Bold, nonsense, do you know who I am?" The girl shouted angrily.
"I don't need to know who you are, Great Qin is now unifying the six countries, His Majesty the First Emperor is under the authority of the United States, there is no more Chu State in China, you just said that we are from the Chu State, then you are thinking that Chu State and Qin State are still two countries, that is to say, you think that His Majesty the First Emperor has not yet completed the great cause of unification, you are blatantly denying Your Majesty's great achievements, you intend to cause the separation of our southeastern counties and Great Qin, this kind of language is complicity against you, do you know!"
As soon as Chen Xu's last sentence came out, the middle-aged man behind him, the two soldiers and the black-faced pavilion chief all changed their faces greatly, and the girl was also pale and ready to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by the middle-aged man: "Xiaoyue, don't be willful, that's it today, go back with me!" ”
Seeing that several people were so nervous, Chen Xu suddenly laughed, holding his stomach and laughing almost out of breath.
"Shaolang-kun, what are you laughing at?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xu with a very serious face.
Chen Xu in front of him was thin, his hair was dirty, he was wearing a pair of rotten straw sandals under his feet, and his clothes were even more tattered, except for covering between his legs and his buttocks, he was exposed everywhere, but his eyes were bright, and the tone in which he spoke just now was also cold, calm, neither humble nor arrogant, completely different from any teenager he had ever met in the mountains and countryside.
Especially the words just now, it is impossible for this kind of poor mountain and remote teenager who doesn't know a word in front of him to say, what the girl said just now, even if it is placed in Xianyang, no one will find the problem, but this young man found fault with this inconspicuous text, and issued an earth-shattering question of rebellion.
The girls didn't understand the power of it, but they knew that once this sentence spread, they were afraid that it would really cause great trouble.
If it has just been calmed down today, and the people's hearts are undecided, what Xianyang is worried about is the word rebellion, otherwise he would not be so anxious to overhaul the road to traffic the whole country.
Therefore, the young man in front of him, the young man who once slashed the big snake of four feet, suddenly made several people have to treat it with a very cautious attitude, and one carelessness is an unpredictable consequence.
"Hahahaha~" Chen Xu endured a few times and finally stopped laughing, crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at the girl with the other and said: "I am so timid and afraid, and I dare to speak bravely, not to mention that my Daqin values military merits, and fights courage, not brave and ruthless, nothing to do to find someone to compete, not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Xu stopped.
"Shaolang-kun, what's more?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.
"What's more, good men don't fight with women!" Chen Xu squeezed his eyes at the girl a few times, "I'm a man, I can fight tigers, leopards and jackals, and I can kill four-zhang snakes, but I can't fight with women, and I won't have face if I win, let alone lose, that sentence just now just scared you, so where are you going back and forth!" ”
