"You guys came so early!"

Ding You had just said goodbye to Ding Er and other clan brothers, and was kicked by his third uncle for no apparent reason. However, he also had a willow leaf-shaped knife in his hand that could be hidden in his calf. He played with it and pointed at the two of them.

He waved his hand, called Yang Shi, and patted the rather delicate and shy young man.

"Brother Xiao, I will have to rely on you to take care of me from now on."

Mao was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Ding You to talk to him, but he had rarely communicated with his colleagues, and he didn't know how to respond. He was stunned for a long time but couldn't hold back a word, or Yang saw that he was embarrassed and said:

"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He is very clever. I don't believe he can suffer losses from Jin Gou."

Mao nodded in agreement and laughed.

Ding You could only laugh along, but he had already scolded the two young ones and the old one in his heart.

"It's almost time, we should go to the handsome tent."

The three of them moved forward, with Yang taking the lead. Ding You was busy looking around and fell at the end.

The journey was not unfamiliar. At least when Ding You came to the county magistrate, he went to the commander's tent to check in. But that time it was just a formality. He only said hello to the person in charge of the sect over there and then went there.

Since he was in the family army, his sect's mission was to serve as a monk accompanying the army anyway. When he went to Jiabai, of course he could be regarded as accompanying the army, and others could not fault him.

But in this case, Ding You was completely cut off from the easy job of guarding the captain and general with other fellow disciples. No, under the eaves, Bai Changyu Zhu let Ding You go with just one word.

Became a scout.

As for disobeying orders, Ding You never thought about it. There were so many military orders, but he didn't open his mouth just because he was a monk of the Qingshuang Sect.

The number of guards gradually increased on the road, but most of them took one look at the token in Yang's hand and let them go. Only when they finally arrived at the fence of the commander's tent were they carefully inspected. It was not until here that the camp was no longer just a simple and crude marching tent, and the road was improved.

Quite a few, at least it won't be muddy and difficult to walk on rainy days. It can be seen that this place was paved with a layer of stones before, but it has been stepped on for a long time and has sunk deeply into the soil.

But after looking at it for a long time, it is actually the same as other places. The scenery in the army is really disappointing, not even comparable to the chicken shit alley in Wangchuan.

The wine here is just a little stronger. In comparison, the sweet wine I drank on the mountain and at home was simply for a three-year-old child. As for the rest, it was nothing more than someone burping, farting, and telling dirty jokes when I was bored.

, so that although Ding You has never been to Yun City, he knows a lot about the Goulan brothel there and the courtesans in each family.

Where can these be found on the mountain?

It is said that there is no Jiazi in the mountains, and you don’t know the year when the weather is cold, but Ding You doesn’t have this experience. It’s just that a month goes by very quickly, and on the top of the mountain where he lives, there are only himself and the old man, Master, staring at each other all day long, so time seems to be longer.

Soon.

As the master gets older, he talks less and less. In this way, for most of these years, Ding You has been practicing the sect magic day and night, but he feels that he has not achieved anything even with the sect magic.

stuff.

He heard that his master was a top-notch swordsman when he was young. In a fight, no one could stand up to him except a few old ladies in the sect. He didn't know what his master saw in him before accepting him.

As a disciple, his master never taught him swordsmanship, and Ding You never saw his master pull out the sword on his back.

"Junior Brother Ding, I'm a distinguished guest, but I've finally looked forward to having you here. I haven't seen you for almost a month. I heard that Junior Brother went to Jiabai?"

Ding You was startled, glanced at the person who came, and cupped his hands to the man in green who was walking not far ahead. The man looked ordinary, and his voice was slightly mature. He did not wear armor like a soldier in the army, but wore a blue robe with decorative patterns.

It is simple and solemn, with only a layer of rime-shaped logo embroidered near the waist belt, which is a certificate of being a disciple of the Qingshuang Sect. Ding You also wore this dress that day, but it was natural to change it after entering the armor.

Epithelium.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Liu, long time no see."

Senior Brother Liu quickly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and quickly said, "I can't do it. I can't do it."

"Junior Brother Ding, this is really embarrassing to me. I just entered the sect a few years before Junior Brother. My qualifications and cultivation are not as good as Junior Brother. How can I dare to be called Senior Brother? However, Junior Brother dares to go into battle to kill the enemy at such a young age. How can I be called this?"

I admire my untalented senior brother very much."

The two laughed in unison, and Senior Brother Liu followed Ding You for a while before leaving.

Neither Yang nor Shu were friendly people. They only glanced at Senior Brother Liu when he came and ignored the man on the mountain. They only slowed down their pace slightly. Senior Brother Liu did not see them as pawns at all.

Naturally, I won't even pay attention to it.

"Although Qiu Shou seems to be a training exercise, for some people it is just an excuse to gain military glory, and our lives are nothing to them. This is why we have to temporarily allocate people to act as scouts.

"

Ding You looked up, not expecting Yang to say this.

"So, killing the enemy is secondary, and surviving is the most important. Of course, I don't want you to be greedy for life and fear death. Those who only care about survival in the battle will die the fastest. What I want to say is, for

It’s not worth it for some officials to die for their military exploits.”

After saying this, Yang still didn't turn around, as if he had never said these words before. But Ding You knew that Yang's words were specially addressed to him, a young child who had never been in battle, so he clasped his fists and said to Yang's back.

Thanks.

The three of them hadn't walked long before they saw several groups of people gathered in front of a camp. Judging from the size, it should be the camp of Huang Sima, the second-in-command in the county division.

This is strange to say. Logically speaking, the county system in Chu has a long history. Since the beginning of Quan County, a county was established after the Chu State destroyed a country. The official positions in the county were inherited from the central government, with the county Yin as the respected one, followed by the county magistrate, the Sima, and the person in charge.

Xiao Yin is responsible for all kinds of affairs. Among them, Sima Zhurong is in charge of the military affairs of a county, especially in a large border county like Yun County, his power will only be even greater.

And the reason why he is called the second-in-command is of course because there is a more powerful county governor above him.

The county Yin's surname is Yun, and he has also been a county magistrate for a long time. However, he is mostly busy with county government affairs and does not interfere much with military affairs. He only occasionally rides his horse to inspect military affairs. Most of the time, Huang Sima handles military affairs. The reason why he spends a long time

They are all in the county division, and it is purely a personal preference.

If the Yin of Wuren County is stuck in the county office all day long with documents, he will fall ill sooner or later.

Ding You, who was born in a noble family, certainly knows these things. If he really wants to talk about it, he knows it better than Yang, who is in the army. Although the Wangchuan Ding family is not big, it is still the leader of the town. It is a real noble family and has been dead since ancient times.

The Ding family's history is much longer than that of this new county, which was established just a few decades ago.

"Hey, have you heard? There are a hundred scouts selected in the first wave this year. This is the first time in this decade that there are so many people. It seems that the one who is gold-plated this time is a real person."

"That's not it. If it weren't for the gold, who would be willing to accompany those generals to go home? They are guarded by experts. We can only look at God's will. Hehe, he said, look at the sky, Lao Lei,

Yesterday I spent a lot of money to get a divination from Bai Banxian in Yun City, what do you think I am?"

"Is it a bad luck?"

"Hehehe, I knew you would never guess it. I don't remember exactly what it is. I only remember that Bai Banxian is a woman I will meet, a beautiful woman."

"Just talk nonsense, you..."

…

Ding You and the three of them didn't know many acquaintances, and the three of them couldn't talk much, so they all stood upright in a corner and listened to the people next to them chatting.

Most of the others came from the county division, and a small number of them learned from their chat that they were clan soldiers from certain big clans in Yun City. Ding You rolled his eyes, he had clan soldiers in his own family, but he didn't get such treatment to be invited here.

, it’s really irritating to compare one person to another.

After waiting for almost an hour, when the crowd was almost in full order, they saw more than ten light cavalry in black clothes rushing towards them. They stopped their horses only when they were less than five feet away from Sima's camp.

Such style made many people dissatisfied, and many men squatting on the ground stood up silently.

It is said that there are many reckless men in the army, but it is precisely these reckless men who do the best in certain etiquettes. They will never fall into the hands of a queen who asks for a beheading. These people rely on their status and ignore the horses in front of the fence.

Ignoring the obstruction of the guards of the commander's tent, he insisted on riding to the commander's tent. If they were ordinary people, if the guards had not received the order in advance, these people would have been killed by the guards and monks.

"This is the elite of the county division?"

The young man under the escort in black sneered and passed through the crowd. A group of people from the county magistrate stood in the center without moving even an inch. The leader was a burly man, also a general, whose surname was Huang.

"Why don't you give way? Didn't you see the Crown Prince here?"

The black-clothed guard's iron sword was barely out of its scabbard, but the young man stretched out his hand to stop it.

The boy who was born a nobleman had a smile on his face and whispered to this person:

"Don't be rude, Mu Nu. This is General Huang Renhuang. General Huang used thirteen sword techniques to kill more than 20 Jin soldiers on the battlefield half a year ago. His three-legged cat's kung fu can't be matched by yours. Retreat?"

Down!"

The black-clothed guard nodded, retracted his sword and took half a step back.

"General Huang, please give way. I was appointed as the centenary of the first batch of scouts. I am still waiting to go to the commander's tent to receive the tiger talisman. I cannot keep Lord Sima waiting for a long time."

The man groaned, stared at the handsome young man in front of him, and spoke two words between his teeth.

"just you?"

The smile on the young man's face turned cold. After a moment of stalemate, he said calmly: "Then I'll give in!"

Having said that, he indeed passed by and walked in the direction of Ding You. He only glanced at Ding You a little longer, but he quickly passed by without stopping. Apparently, a man appeared in the army.

The monks did not pique his interest.

Ding You frowned slightly when he heard the word Crown Prince. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't guess the origin of this young man. It's no wonder that he couldn't figure it out. The word Crown Prince was quite valuable hundreds of years ago.

As the small country was destroyed and the clans of the big country became more powerful, the title of prince gradually spread, but it was only limited to the legitimate sons, and the concubines and other branches were naturally not eligible for this title.

Although the young man Ding You could not have guessed that it was Huang Ren that the young man mentioned, Ding You knew very well that people say that a tiger father has no dog son. Huang Sima's son Huang Ren went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fourteen, and he entered the army every year.

Qiu Du took the initiative to join the scouts. Instead of inheriting the title of his father, he used actual Jin army heads to build a captain.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being shoed in?"

Ding You thought to no avail. As he watched the rich and noble boy with purple sleeves gradually approach the handsome tent, his nose became sore and he sneezed a lot.
