At noon, everyone rested.

Of course, there is a system in the army, and the location is the rear camp, and of course there is a lot of food supplies.

Now, everyone is having lunch in a valley.

This mountain is not high, but the bank is cut and the wall is cut, and below it is a vast expanse of weeds and jungles, in early autumn, before the leaves fall, among the weeds, there are some small red flowers blooming, which makes people feel comfortable in the chest.

Looking down at his feet, Wang Shoutian was thoughtful.

At this time, the two pots were steaming.

With dried beef, lamb loin, deer breast, and wheat cakes, this food is good.

The eleven tooth soldiers were still wearing leather armor, and from time to time they scanned the surroundings with a wary gaze.

"It seems that all the tooth soldiers of the festival envoys are very elite, one out of a hundred!" Wang Shoutian thought secretly: "However, it's a pity." ”

Beyond the mountains and forests, you can also see the endless land, which was originally a fertile land, but unfortunately because the towns fought each other, it became a wilderness.

Not to mention anything else, Wenyang County, where the town is located, originally had seven counties, but now due to the dilapidated population, only the four relatively core counties have been preserved.

The shade of the trees is like a shade, the mountain breeze is slow, and Wang Shoutian ponders silently.

According to the news obtained in the previous life, since last year, Jiedu made the only son fall off the horse and died, although nominally Jiedu made several nephews of the same clan to cultivate and choose heirs, but in fact, Wang Shoutian, who was an illegitimate son, has been designated as the heir.

However, in the original history, Wang Shoutian was too young after all, according to this physical age, he was only sixteen years old, and this time he returned from a big defeat and had to make the envoy come to fight with illness, so he became seriously ill and died next year.

Wang Shoutian hurriedly ascended to the throne, and his foundation was unstable, and he was deposed later.

If it can be resolved quickly this time, it will not only consolidate its position and prestige, but also make it possible to live for a longer period of time, and it will be able to ensure the replacement of the old and the new.

Thinking of this, Wang Shoutian has a deep vision, and to change his fate, he must start from a little bit.

"Hey, don't you think that guy has changed a little bit since he woke up?" he poked the bench next to him that was eating, and Su Hu, one of the soldiers, whispered.

Holding the dry food in his hand, he only glanced up at it, and continued to eat with his head down.

Su Hu saw that his words were ignored, and he was very depressed: "Hey, bench, don't you think so?"

The bench finally swallowed the dry food in his mouth, and glanced at Su Hu: "The little official is the same clan as the big handsome, and it is said that there is a special teaching, maybe he was not familiar with it at the beginning, but now he should be familiar with it!"

Meaning, he wasn't surprised at all.

In ancient times, ordinary people had a natural awe of scholars and bureaucrats, and the changes in Wang Shoutian were not special to him.

"But ......" Su Hu wanted to say something.

"Don't do it, the soup is finished, bring out the best broth, and I'll send it to the little official and Brother He. The bench said.

Su Hu was closest to the broth pot, and although he muttered in his mouth, he still moved his hand and put the broth out.

Ordinary people can only eat dry food, Wang Shoutian, Huo Chang and Wu Chang, can drink broth, this time there are a variety of jerky, plus some mushrooms and wild vegetables found in the valley, the aroma is fragrant.

"Little official, the broth is here!" The bench walked over with the bowl, and looked at the little official with his eyes pretending to be casual.

Indeed, it's not quite the same......

The face is still the same face, but the feeling given to him has changed.

What kind of change, the bench can't say, but often with my father to seek medical treatment, it can be regarded as having seen the world, often some people with status, have this feeling.

Although the bench said that to Su Hu, in fact, in his heart, he also had some thoughts about the changes in Wang Shoutian.

He Zhong took it and handed it to Wang Shoutian first.

After Wang Shoutian drank it, the bench gave the second and third bowls to He Zhong and Zhang Yi, which is normal, or a slight difference, in terms of official rank, Zhang Yi is higher than He Zhong.

However, as a pro-soldier commander, unlike ordinary military commanders, this can also be done.

As soon as he got the bowl, He Zhong frowned and glanced at the bench, this soup seemed to be the same, and even more in the bowl of the little official, but he knew that he only had real ingredients in his bowl!

The bench saw He Zhong's eyes, stood aside, couldn't help but glance at Wang Shoutian again, and then lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Call He Qi over. Wang Shoutian didn't notice this slight difference, drank the broth, and whispered.

Although an agreement had been made with the mountain people in the morning, this matter was relatively important, and of course it was necessary to further determine.

"No!" He Zhong turned his head and saw that Wang Shoutian's face had a calm expression, a little less conceited and arrogant, and more steady and majestic, and his heart sank.

After only a while, the mountain people had already obtained the news, but it was only He Qi who came over.

"I've seen adults. He Qi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Wang Shoutian nodded and said, "Don't be polite, you sit down and talk, bench, and serve a bowl of broth...... How are you doing in the mountains now?"

"Thank you, sir!" He Qi clasped his fists and saluted, sat down, took the bowl, and took a sip of broth.

"My lord, at the beginning, we were recruited, the purpose is actually very clear, is to help the marshal earn some food money, the mountains are actually very poor, there is not much food production, it used to be fine, but now that the population is large, we must go out of the mountains to earn some money to support the family!"

Wang Shoutian listened and glanced at him.

According to the current experience, the mountain people are different from the ordinary people, most of the ordinary people are a trace of white gas, while the mountain people may be disobedient and most of them are a trace of gray gas.

However, under this look, I suddenly found that this person's complexion was different from the almost dim and unknown complexion of other mountain people, and there was a white and reddish thread on the top of this person.

"Your name is He Qi, could it be that you are the seventh in the family?" Wang Shoutian suddenly looked at this person and asked.

He Qi was slightly stunned, but this person did have some insight, and after being slightly stunned, he quickly replied: "Yes, my lord, He Qi is indeed ranked seventh, but it is not the ranking at home, but the ranking of the small characters in the clan." ”

"You look like a strong man, and you must be a rare talent in the clan. Wang Shoutian said with a smile.

Wang Shoutian's smile obviously relaxed He Qi's mood that had been jumping tightly, he shook his head and said: "Back to my lord's words, in our clan, the most outstanding person is my cousin, although he ranks fifth, he is one of the best men in the clan, no one admires him, and no one does not obey his orders. ”

Speaking of that person, He Qi's face couldn't help but show an expression of envy and adoration.

Wang Shoutian lowered his eyes slightly, sure enough, this person's control is not low!

In the memory of the previous life, after the end of this battle, the surrounding area was in chaos, giving many civilians a chance to come out, and afterwards, many people began to get rid of their small civilian status.

He Wulang is just a typical type, and along with his speculation, many mountain people have also come to prominence.

This is fate, and it is also accidental, presumably in addition to He Wulang, other mountain people also have some seeds.

At this moment, Wang Shoutian strengthened his determination to enter the mountain.

The next conversation was a casual conversation, after all, the mountain people are mountain people, and a little grace made him start to talk cheerfully.

A lot of information was learned as a result.

"My lord, are you about to set off?" Zhang Yi looked at Shi Shi and asked.

"Although it may not be a big surname, it is better to check it first and don't encounter enemy troops. Wang Shoutian stopped everyone's decision to leave immediately, and sent someone to investigate the situation outside.

Half an hour later, the mountain people reported: "We have not found any enemies, we will go back this way, and we can reach the cottage at night." ”

Although he did not detect the enemy, Wang Shoutian's cautious attitude still made some people think.

Looking at the little officials who were chatting happily with the mountain people, Su Hu looked at He Zhong, who was protecting Wang Shoutian on the side, and touched his chin.

At dusk, Hejiazhai finally arrived.

It is a stockade built on a hillside, with some earthen walls, faint buildings, and it looks like it is on a good scale.

"It's finally here, it's finally home!" Looking at the cottage in front of them, the mountain people showed excitement.

On this day's march, in order to avoid the enemy ranks, they tried to choose difficult paths to walk, and at the end of the day, everyone was sleepy and tired.

"My lord, I'll go to the cottage first, and tell my brother that the cottage has several defenses, if it's someone else, I'm afraid the guards won't believe it easily. He Qi looked at the familiar cottage in front of him, and his heart finally returned to his stomach, he turned around and discussed with Wang Shoutian on the side.

Without permission, he couldn't take people, especially a large group of people, into the cottage.

Wang Shoutian nodded, not thinking about it, and said, "Go ahead!"

He Qi then took these mountain people and went to the cottage.

When they got closer, they saw someone shouting on the arrow tower on the cottage, and they were vigilantly holding bows and arrows.

Although this stockade and this arrow tower are simple, but there are and no are completely different things, there are good hunter mountain people guards, but I am afraid that there are no 500 officers and soldiers, and they will not be able to attack.

Seeing that it was He Qi who appeared, the people inside hurriedly opened the door and let them in, but because the situation was unknown, these people looked at everyone vigilantly.

"He's already in. He Zhong's eyes were locked on He Qi, and when he saw that he had finally entered the mountain gate, he asked Wang Shoutian on the side in a low voice: "Little officials, will they really agree to our request?"

Wang Shoutian planned to use the power of the cottage to counterattack the enemy, but He Zhong was not very optimistic about this matter.

He Zhong is no stranger to mountain people, he has dealt with a mountain elder, and he has never even seen the appearance of a cottage, but even so, after some negotiations, he also has a lot of experience of the cunning behind the simple appearance of the mountain people, in such a situation, will these mountain people really help them?
