After eating all the food in the food box quickly, Lei Xingkong licked his mouth, feeling a little unfinished.
The food in this food box is indeed very delicious. Lei Xingkong has not eaten such good food in a long time.
When we were at Dibei Post, the conditions there were harsh and the food was far inferior to that of the county army camp.
All the way from Dibei to Yanyun, we only had dry food and water, let alone water.
The meal in front of me was better than what I had eaten in the past few months.
Of course, with Lei Xingkong's current level of cultivation, he can go without eating for a long time, but this does not mean that he no longer needs to eat, or does not like eating, but that even in a harsh environment where food is scarce, He can endure it and his ability to survive becomes stronger than ordinary people.
After putting down the food box, Lei Xingkong picked up the water bowl and took a sip. At this time, five or six people walked out from a shed on the left.
"grown ups."
The person at the beginning was Long Rui.
Behind Long Rui were several iron officials and disciples who usually followed him as their leader, including the burly man named Huang.
Lei Xingkong put down the bowl, looked at Long Rui and the others, thought for a moment, and asked, "Why, what's the matter?"
The iron officials and disciples looked at each other. Long Rui knelt down first, and then the others also knelt down and said, "Please take me in, sir!"
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Long Rui and asked, "What do you mean?"
Long Rui said: "A few of us want to serve under your command, please take us under your wing!"
"Follow my subordinates?" Lei Xingkong was a little stunned.
These iron officials are all criminals, and they are all felons who have been convicted of capital crimes. They must be eager to regain their freedom and return to their hometowns this time. Why do they ask to stay?
"Well, these iron official disciples have done great evil in the countryside. After returning home, I don't know how the people in the village will treat them. Maybe they will have some troubles in life..." Lei Xingkong thought secretly in his heart: "Me and After all, they have been on the battlefield together. If they really have any difficulties, I will do my best if I can. The most I can do is ask Uncle Yu to help solve it."
Thinking of this, Lei Xingkong said: "You have already obtained enough military exploits to leave this place. You can go back to your hometown to live your own life. Why do you still want to stay? Is it possible that you have some difficulties and are unwilling to return to your hometown? If that is the case, you will probably But as for me, I will find a way to make things right for you."
"No, sir!" Long Rui shook his head, "Actually, a few of us have lost our relatives in the countryside, and we don't know what to do when we go back. Yesterday, we followed you into the battle. I admire you very much in my heart, and hope to be able to do it with you. Serve under my command."
After a slight pause, Long Rui continued: "Of course, since we are free, we are no longer iron officers and apprentices. I only hope that your Excellency will allow us to rejoin the army and serve as county sergeants in a serious manner."
"I see"
Lei Xingkong understood. No wonder Long Rui and the others didn't want to return to their hometown and wanted to join the army. Their relatives in the hometown were gone. They had committed crimes before and everyone knew about it. What's the point of going back like this? ?
Moreover, judging from the appearance of these people, none of them are good men and women. Can they honestly make a living when they return to their hometown?
With their temperament, they might get into trouble again and be thrown into jail within a few days of returning home.
It would be more appropriate for such a person to stay in the military.
Lei Xingkong looked at Long Rui and others, and his heart suddenly moved.
In their previous performance on the battlefield, they already looked like veterans of many battles. In the future, as long as they exercise more discipline and change their lax temperament, they will become good soldiers.
No amount of soldiers like this is too many.
only--
Yong Guo has always been strict in running the army. If Long Rui and others want to join the county army, it is not the small capital school like Lei Xingkong that has the final say. They also need to go through formal reporting procedures...
"Well, it shouldn't be a problem to ask Uncle Yu's family later and ask Uncle Yu's family to help."
Lei Xingkong thought in his mind and said: "Okay, I agree to this first, but I can't say it fully. I need approval from the county army camp."
Long Rui looked happy and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Sir!"
Lei Xingkong thought for a while and then said: "You guys will report your name to a man named Du Yu after a while. He is the military chief of our camp and he will record it."
"Here!"
…
Long Rui and others returned to their shed.
The man surnamed Huang remained silent until now he muttered, "Boss Long, do we really want to join the county army?"
Long Rui glared: "Huang Dahu, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree before, and Lei Yingzheng also agreed? What do you want to do now by saying such nonsense?"
Huang Dahu shrank when Long Rui glared at him, and said somewhat submissively: "Boss Long, since you can escape and leave, wouldn't it be better to go back and live a happy life? What's the benefit of staying here and fighting with your head in your hands every day?
of?"
Among the other people, there were also people who had the same idea as Huang Dahu, but they didn't dare to say it and just watched.
"You reckless man!"
Long Rui became even more angry and cursed in a suppressed voice: "What are you going to do after you go back? Are you going to dominate the mountain and become the king like before? You only know how to be free for a while, but have you ever planned for the future? How can you do that kind of thief thing?
What kind of ending is it? Even if you get a moment of happiness, will you end up being surrounded and suppressed by the army in the end?"
Huang Dahu used to be a bandit, and he was imprisoned after the village was annihilated by the army. Now when he heard Long Rui talking about being a bandit, he would not be able to escape being surrounded and suppressed by the army. His face suddenly changed, and he did not dare to say anything.
.
Long Rui continued: "Since we people cannot be thieves and can only join the army, if we come back with some military achievements in the future, we are afraid that we will not have a good future? Even if we die on the battlefield unfortunately, it is fate. It is better than living in the countryside.
Isn’t it okay to just hang around and wait for death?”
Everyone felt that Long Rui's words were reasonable. Only Huang Dahu still stiffened his neck and said: "But Boss Long, that Leiying camp is the capital of the forward camp. We follow him and we have to work hard every day!"
"What are you afraid of? Why can't we when others can fight hard? Could it be that they have eggs in their crotches and we don't have them?" Long Rui snorted coldly, "You have also seen the abilities of Lei Yingzheng and his soldiers. All of them are.
A good man can be worth a hundred, and Lei Ying has such a level of cultivation at such an age. It will be easy for him to become a lord or a general in the future. If we can get this honor, our lives will be worth it!"
After a slight pause, Long Rui continued: "Even if you put aside these things, you should know from yesterday's battle that Lei Yingzheng is a good person, leading by example, and attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Compared with the previous few who served as the captain of the vanguard camp,
Shameless little Ren, I also respect Lei Yingzheng in my heart. Think carefully for yourselves. If you really don't want to stay, just leave. I want to stay anyway."
"Boss Long, we all listen to you."
"I'm staying too!"
"Ask the other brothers, maybe there are some who are willing to stay."
When everyone heard this, they all immediately agreed. Although Huang Dahu didn't say anything, he agreed in his heart.
