"The bandit leader is in front! Don't let the bandit leader escape!" The sun had begun to set in the west, and the sky was getting darker, and on a small road near the river, more than thirty soldiers were closely chasing one person behind.

The man running in front of him was dressed in the clothes of the common people, but he had a fierce face, big shoulders and round waist, and carried a long blood-stained knife in his hand, and he was fleeing on foot towards the river.

This man's speed was extremely fast, and although there were many pursuers, he was not slow, but he couldn't catch up with him for a while.

At this time, although it was January, the river in front of him had not yet frozen, and the person who was running towards the river was obviously holding the idea of escaping by the river, and when he saw the river in front of him, he was not alarmed, but his face was happy, and his feet were speeding up more and more.

"No! This guy is accustomed to water! He's afraid he's going to escape by water! Don't let him escape to the river!", someone who saw this, obviously knew the inside story, and hurriedly shouted.

Everyone is chasing people on foot, but if you speed up, how fast can you go?

"Don't panic!, look at me!", just then, a young man chased after him from behind, and he said soothingly as he ran.

When they looked back, they saw the man with a bow and arrows behind his back, and then they took one of the arrows, and as they ran, they drew their bows and arrows, and then slammed them down.

"Boom!",

"Ah!", this arrow shot with great accuracy, although it was far away, but it hit the back of the heart of the bandit leader in front, and the other party even had time to let out a scream, and then fell down with a thud.

"Shot! Shot! Shot! The bandit leader was shot!", immediately someone shouted excitedly.

"Quick, go over and see if he's still angry!", someone reminded.

The soldier hurriedly ran over, and when he checked it, the man on the ground was indeed dead.

"Wu Xingzong, it's really you, this archery technique is really good!", among this group of people, a person who was obviously wearing the official uniform of the team stepped forward and turned over to look at it, and said.

"Don't say that, when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, you still have to be commanded by adults, without command, no matter how strong your fists and feet and archery skills are. (

The young man bowed his head and said humbly.

Such a capable, humble and obedient subordinate, since the team is very fond of it, hearing this, first stunned, then looked up to the sky and laughed, he patted Wu Xingzong's shoulder heavily, and said loudly: "Wu Xingzong, you are very good, very good!",

Talking and laughing, a group of people dragged the body of the bandit leader back to the main camp.

In other words, the main camp is one guard with 600 people, and the bandits who deal with hundreds of people will naturally be captured, and the battlefield at this time has been almost cleaned.

Seeing the return of the team that had gone to pursue the bandit leader, the guard general first watched.

Naturally, there were military judges in the army who registered and supervised the results of the battle, and at this time, the army was newly established, and this aspect was still relatively clear.

When it was Wu Xingzong's turn, he took the pen to write, and everyone was secretly surprised when they saw that he could write the book fluently, revealing a look of admiration.

No matter what, people who can read and write are always admirable.

When the guard general saw it, he went up directly and asked, "You are Wu Xingzong, how many have you beheaded in total this time to suppress the bandits?"

"Lord Hui, Xingzong has been beheaded at a total of five levels. Wu Xingzong replied respectfully.

"Five Teachings...... It's not bad!", the guard general stared at his heroic face and smiled gently: "You are the deputy fire commander?

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Xingzong, looked at it for a while, and said: "You can still be rough in writing and ink, rare, according to the military system, your current name can be added to the official book, and you will also be given seventy acres and a cow." ”

Beheading at the fifth level, if there is no official, it must be the fire chief, and the fire chief is above the official system, and it is not judged by beheading -- this is Wang Hongyi's law.

Seeing that Wu Xingzong was frightened, he said again: "Why be modest, when you are about to be as old as you, you are still making trouble at home, you have this ability, and it is a pity to be a deputy fire chief......"

The guard general thought for a while and said: "I will appoint you as the fire commander now, but your fire is not short of actual fire commanders now, so let's do it, Ben will recommend you to study at the non-commissioned officer academy for a month, and you can take the fire chief title to study!",

“...... Thank you for your promotion. When Wu Xingzong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and kowtowed to thank him, and the people around him also showed envious looks, saying, according to military merits, he was promoted to the fire chief of ten people, which should be, but the fire chief did not belong to the official, and it was difficult to mention it, because the fire chief and above were not beheaded.

No one is promoted, and it is possible to be a ten-year fire leader.

This fire grows to the deputy team, that is, a threshold, and when you enter, it is the official body.

Now go to the non-commissioned officer academy for a month, according to the convention, when you come out, you are the deputy team, which is equivalent to crossing this threshold, which is indeed a great grace.

"Hahahaha, that's right, do things well, you want to drag a future out, work hard. Patting Wu Xingzong's shoulder, General Wei smiled and encouraged him, and his mood was also very fast, but in the midst of happiness, he was a little surprised.

I rarely appreciate it as soon as I meet, and I give this rare opportunity to others, and a few descendants don't have a chance!

But after thinking about it, after coming out, he was still assigned to his own guard, and he was relieved.

"Yes!", Wu Xingzong endured his excitement and replied respectfully, between speaking, when he was invisible, a small cloud qi suddenly condensed into a small cloud of white qi, which was no longer the level of the fire chief, but the level of the deputy team leader.

Five days later, Xiaolin Township

Wu Xingzong walked, he was carrying a bear on his back, playing around, very proud.

He was followed by Tang Yuan.

According to his current fire captain level, he can't have a personal soldier, but because he was recommended by the guard general to go to the non-commissioned officer academy, he will be the deputy team leader in a month, and there will be a personal soldier in the deputy team according to the system.

Therefore, Wu Xingzong proposed to bring Tang Yuan, and the team agreed.

All the way to the road, it is all flat land, look around, the terrain is open, and the soil quality is also excellent

This is Xiaolin Township of Chenglu County, with superior environment, fertile land, convenient irrigation, and water can be planted.

The king of Chu had the most important military merits, and some official fields would be sent to warriors, although Wu Xingzong had no family, he was still allocated seventy acres of land and a house.

After walking a little further, you will see a seed.

Wu Xingzong was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, and soon came inside.

In the ancient countryside, as soon as you enter, there is an indescribable smell coming to your face, it is the smell of chickens, ducks, cows and horses, combined with the smell of sewage, but this is normal, Tang Yuan even took a greedy breath and looked around excitedly.

At the entrance of the village, a stone tablet was erected, which recorded the basic household registration and names and the number of people in the village, but this was very simple and not careful.

In addition, the situation of the lieutenant and the soldier is also listed in detail, which is very detailed.

Tang Yuan stepped up and saw a new carving: "...... Wu Xingzong, the chief of fire, gave 70 acres of land, a bow, a knife, and 30 arrows. Hyoto Tang Yuan, Hyoto Han Liang, according to the routine to give Tian ......"

This is Wang Hongyi's policy, and the tax collectors will know the general situation when they see this monument.

Tang Yuanxing said excitedly: "We have twenty poisons per household, you have seventy acres, obediently, it is refreshing to be the king's soldiers, and we have become landlords." ”

Wu Xingzong was happy in his heart, but he didn't speak, I don't know why, after becoming the fire chief, he became deeper and deeper.

However, when I arrived in front of my house, I saw that the house was busy, but it was the chief who led the people, put down the things in hand, and came to work on Wu Xingzong's house.

As soon as Wu Xingzong passed, he heard a burst of laughter, and a rough voice said: "Wang Huochang, welcome you to my material household, my brother has come to say hello to you!"

But it was the governor Zhang Xinggong who came over, carrying some congratulatory gifts!

Wu Xingzong hurriedly greeted him, and the two of them chatted for a while, and then Tang Yuan looked at the situation and his eyes turned red.

One of the guests inside asked, "What's on Master Tang's mind?"

Tang Yuan said: "The villagers don't know, we are all parents who went early, the family has no property, and we have all the hardships, and we envy the people in the old days, and now I see that the eldest brother has a house and a field, and I don't feel sad." ”

A guest therefore said: "This is also bad luck in the past, you see that Wu Huochang has this future now, and in the future, he will marry a wife and spread his branches, and this hardship will pass." ”

The mayor Zhang Xinggong laughed and said: "Yes, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, there is a field and a house, no wife, what's the use, today is on your mind, everyone has to discuss which family has a good daughter!",

Everyone said in unison: "The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood is extremely true." ”

Wu Xingzong was also moved at this time, no matter how good he was, he also felt that this was reasonable, but he hid it in his heart first, talked and laughed with everyone, set up a simple banquet, and drank together.

In the middle of the night, the two counted the congratulatory gifts, most of them gave a few dollars, and some of the wealthy people gave one or two pieces of silver, adding up to about twenty taels.

The two of them recorded it with a pen together, saying that people were in good spirits on happy occasions, and after writing the record, they looked at a few chickens, fifty eggs, and fried rice balls, etc., Wu Xingzong sighed: "If the time comes." ”

"Big brother, not only that, I heard that when you go to the academy, you are the deputy team leader, this is the official body, you have the body and qualifications, and you can always be six or seven grades in the future, although it is said that the fire chief is above and above, you will not directly give the field, but the money and rewards are enough to buy the land. ”

Tang Yuan said: "The eldest brother has become a guard general, I can also be in the camp today, and I can return to the field as soon as I am relieved, and I can live in the county as a master, and there are two or three hundred poisonous lands in the countryside, and we will be out of the woods." ”

Wu Xingzong laughed, his expression was a little haggard, his ears became very distant, and he felt that there was a hot current in his heart that was stirring very strongly, just going to the county to be the master?

No, no, I want to make a contribution, I want to get a wife, I want to be a high and powerful, and I want to be a marquis and a prince!

He understands people, knows that he is the deputy team, in fact, the possibility of dying in battle has been sharply reduced, and the king has only begun to develop his grand plans, this opportunity is more, as long as he catches one or two, it is not a dream to soar.

With this mood, a cloud of white gas was even more condensed, and there was a slight light, and Wu Xingzong clenched the fist in his hand violently.
