The old general spoke rudely and had a bit of a robbing attitude. Although he said simply, the soldiers guarding the barracks had already surrounded him from all sides. As long as the old general gave the order, Meng Xinghe would not be tied up. That's weird.
"Haha. Old Monster Qin is going crazy again. Little brother, ignore him. Just leave. I'm here. He can't do anything to you." When the scene was in a stalemate, another old man came from a distance. The old man didn't look like General Qin. His body was thin, like a stick, and his messy hair looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. It looked like he had been struck by lightning. It spread out irregularly and was long and gray. The beard is messy on the face, making the old man look rather slovenly. On the washed white shirt, there is a wine gourd tied with a red thread around the waist. Every time the old man takes a step, the wine gourd shakes. From a distance. From the looks of it, even this small shaking seems to trip the old man up, which is a bit worrying.
"Old Monster Li, you must be drinking yellow soup again. The bully will definitely twist your ears when he comes." General Qin laughed and said, "But don't worry. If the bully asks, I will hide it for you."
Uh. The old man burped. He pointed at the juniors in front of him and said, "Go back to training. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with."
Several juniors stuck out their tongues. The man named Li Jingye smiled and said: "Grandpa, then you drink in the army. Aren't you afraid of military law?"
"You little brat, you're not big or small. You're actually taking care of your grandpa. Do you want me to give you dozens of military sticks so that you can learn to behave?" The smell of alcohol was rising. The old man said with a red face: "Don't talk to me when you go back. Your grandma Hongfu said I was drinking. Be careful I break your legs."
The old man showed his authority once and came to Meng Xinghe. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at him. Then he shook his head and said: "You are a thick-faced and greedy person. Although you are a little clever, you can't take on a big responsibility. If Old Monster Qin wants to keep you. I think it’s appropriate to place you in the Huotou Army. You’ll have to hone your skills for a few years and you’ll definitely become a great asset.”
The old man burped from wine and came to Xue Rengui. Before he even looked at his face, he said: "Although he is domineering, he is full of arrogance. He should also be trained in the Huotou Army for a few years before he can become a talent."
"Uncle Li, Brother Meng and Lao Xue have all read their photos for them. What about me? Do you think I have the talents of a general and a prime minister?" Luo Feng continued.
"You... don't even need to carry my shoes." He didn't feel that it hurt Luo Feng's self-esteem. The old man said harshly: "You think the Huotou Army is easy to be in. Back then, your father, Old Monster Qin, and I all came out of the Huotou Army. .Boy, let me tell you, there is not a single coward from the Huotou Army who can't fight and kill the enemy."
He didn't teach Luo Feng a lesson, but gave him examples so that he didn't dare to refute. This old man is really difficult to deal with. Meng Xinghe doesn't care whether you are a fire-headed army or a water-headed army. He has no interest in being a soldier at all. He said hello to Xue Rengui, and the two of them started talking. They wanted to leave first, but Old Man Qin stopped them and said: "Yes, the Huotou Army is also a good soldier. I will accept the two of you. Come on, go down and find the clothes of the Huotou Army. These two people are in our army." soldiers."
Old man Qin gave an order and forcibly brought Meng Xinghe into the army. Meng Xinghe felt that he could not bear it anymore. What happened to the general? If he pissed him off, he would still be offended. Meng Xinghe said lightly: "General Qin, the two of us are against each other as soldiers. I don't dare to be interested. If you want to recruit troops, there are a lot of young and strong people outside. Let the two of us cook for your army. I'm sorry, we don't have that ability."
Are you kidding me? I can't even cook for myself, so I cook for you. What's the difference between this and driving ducks to the shelves? Of course I won't do it.
"Then push you two out and kill them. You two have unknown origins. You broke into the military camp without permission. You must have come to steal important military secrets. You may be spies from another country. You would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go." Drag him out and chop him down." General Qin changed his expression. There were soldiers beside him who were already gearing up and ready to obey the military order.
It’s too hasty to kill me like this. You also put so many charges of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country on me. Isn’t this intentional to kill me? Xue Rengui looked anxious. Meng Xinghe could no longer calm down and said: "Damn old man. What's the difference between this and taking human lives? If I'm not a soldier, you'll kill me. Who do you think you are?"
Meng Xinghe's words were a little incoherent. General Qin said sternly: "Who am I? Haha. It's funny. Just because I am Qin Shubao. I have the final say in this military camp. If I say to kill you, you will die. How about it." If you're not convinced, hit me with your fist."
Bullying Meng Xinghe for looking weak. Old Qin spoke in a much louder tone.
Qin Shubao was a bit familiar. Meng Xinghe shook his head and thought for a while. He didn't remember who it was. Why did he care if he was going to be chopped off by this old man? He rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Xue Rengui, give me a fight. Damn, not yet." If you hear such a good thing, let's fight again." Meng Xinghe cursed.
"Okay, let's fight." Xue Rengui was about to fight. All the young people present said "ah". They couldn't believe it. Things would happen to such an out-of-control point. This is a military camp. There can be no chaos. Come on. Luo Feng grabbed Xue Rengui and said: "Old Xue, stop it quickly. If you really hit Uncle Qin, you will really be beheaded."
Luo Feng came out to break up the fight. Qin Huaiyu and Li Jingye held General Qin back. The two sides reconciled and said: "Brother Meng, this is a military camp after all. You should exercise restraint."
General Qin pushed the two people around him away. He pointed at Meng Xinghe and said, "Now there are two ways for you. One is to be a soldier. The other is to be beheaded. You choose."
Damn it. Both are dead ends. It's just that one dies first and the other dies last. Meng Xinghe didn't give in too much. He glared at General Qin angrily and said: "I neither serve as a soldier nor am I beheaded. I have myself." The only way to get out of here is to be upright. I don’t believe that the majestic General Qin is actually worse than a rough man. He is actually a lynching person."
General Qin did not wear the tall hat that Meng Xinghe gave him. He snorted coldly and said: "Here comes someone. Push this person out of the military camp and behead him. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded."
A military order was issued. The soldiers had to complete the task even if they were unwilling. Four men with big muscles and round waists surrounded them from all sides and wanted to kidnap Meng Xinghe. Only then did Meng Xinghe know that at this time and at this place, power is the king's law. He was offended. These eccentric old men can easily die alone.
Could it be that he was cut down like this? Damn it, it is never my style to be captured without mercy. Meng Xinghe immediately smiled playfully and said: "Old General Qin, what's the matter? It's easy for everyone to discuss. We are all our own people. Why use the knife to hurt Heqi? Woolen cloth."
Uh. Everyone swallowed their saliva. Meng Xinghe changed too quickly. General Qin nodded and praised: "A person who understands current affairs is a hero. You are really thick-skinned." General Qin waved his hand. The soldiers who gathered around Retreat immediately.
Meng Xinghe saw something interesting. This old man seemed to be the same as me. He was a master who refused to admit defeat. He understood the temper of old man Qin. Meng Xinghe said kindly: "The general is joking. He is not thinking about current affairs. He is forced by the situation. I had to bow my head.
"It's good to know." Old Qin smiled proudly and said, "How about it? Have you considered becoming a fire-headed soldier in our army now?"
"I've thought about it." Meng Xinghe answered simply, surprising everyone around him.
"Is there anyone who can change his face so quickly? I really saw it today." The female detective rolled her eyes at him. Now she finally recognized Meng Xinghe's character. She said disdainfully: "Xuanxuan, this person had some backbone before. Why now? I feel more and more that he is a two-faced villain who can act according to the circumstances."
Master Du Xuan smiled and said nothing. She just looked at Meng Xinghe with a glimmer of light in her eyes. But in her heart, she thought about what exactly he was going to do.
General Qin's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Just think about it. Go down and change out of your ugly green shirt like that of Old Monster Li. Put on the clothes of the Huotou Army in our army. They are more presentable than you are now." "
I finally calmed down this kid. I didn't see him as cunning as someone said. He was a bit fierce before, but he was suitable for being a soldier. After General Qin won, he actually laughed. Meng Xinghe stretched out his hand to stop him and said: " Wait. Although I promised the general, I still have something to say."
Here we are. Finally here. I knew you wouldn’t give in so easily. This is what you want to do, right? The master was watching Meng Xinghe’s every move closely. He saw everything he did. His face. There was actually a hint of a smile.
"Do you want to go back on your word?" He finally gained the upper hand. How could General Qin let Meng Xinghe pull back? He was so angry that he pulled out the mace hanging on his waist and said, "If you regret it, I will beat you to death with one strike of my mace." "
Meng Xinghe did not back down. Instead, he approached General Qin. He said unhurriedly: "Excuse me, General. Do Xue Rengui and I count as members of your army?"
"Forget it. Of course." General Qin said it without thinking.
Meng Xinghe asked: "The general still remembers what the laws of the Tang Dynasty state about the conscription of soldiers for corvee service."
"Every man in the Tang Dynasty who is over 16 years old and who is not a member of the Ministry of Rites and has no official title or job will have to serve in the military for three years. If the states and counties do not comply with this law, they will be dealt with severely." General Qin remembered it clearly. Judging from Meng Xinghe's appearance, he was probably more than twenty-six years old. He looked like a thief and looked extremely cunning. He must not have been a man of fame. When General Qin spoke, he said it without thinking.
"Xue Rengui. How old are you?"
"Fifteen years old."
"Oh. That means he is not yet sixteen." Meng Xinghe said loudly on purpose. He brought out the laws of the Tang Dynasty just to make Old Qin suffer the consequences.
Being tricked by Meng Xinghe, General Qin took a few steps back, blowing his beard and staring in anger. However, Meng Xinghe did not intend to let him go. Instead, he forced him: "That's right. I forgot to tell the general. Although I am over sixteen, no. Talent, but he is a candidate registered in the Ministry of Rites."
"Father, General Qin, what's wrong with you? Call the military doctor quickly. The general has fainted." Qin Huaiyu and Li Jingye shouted loudly.
