I’m The King Chapter 567: : Xiaobing Muqiu

Mu Qiu was running for his life. At this time, he could no longer distinguish between the south, the east, and the north. The five companions who were traveling with him had already turned into dead people. Only he was lucky. , the horse under his crotch was also very competitive, and ran away with a hunchback all the way. When it was completely dark, the sound of the horseshoes following behind him was never heard again, and he reconfirmed that he had indeed got rid of the pursuers.

Jumping off the exhausted war horse, the whole body was limp and weak, stretched out in big characters, and collapsed under the starry sky, panting heavily. The thrilling scene during the day once again appeared in front of my eyes.

A group of six of them was one of several teams sent by the First Army to draw the map this time, but they traveled too far. Mu Qiu reckoned that they had penetrated at least two hundred miles.

Facts have proved that this is an extremely wrong choice, Mu Qiu is pulling her hair in pain, and she is the one who killed her partner.

Mu Qiu is a son of a craftsman from Langya County. When they were in Langya County, they were craftsmen for generations and could never get rid of them. From the time he was sensible, his life was to learn from his father. The handicraft handed down by the family, and then become one of many artisan households, and then marry a daughter who is also from an artisan household, have children, and repeat the process of his father's life.

This kind of life has no expectations, no hope. But there was nothing he could do.

The turning point came when he was in despair. As Ye Jinger's dowry, they were given to General Gao Yuan of Zhengdong. It was nothing more than a change of place and a change of owner, but this time he went too far, from the pleasant climate of Langya County to the bitter cold of the Northland.

The craftsman was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. The result of the resistance is very likely to be the destruction of the family and the loss of life. No one thought that it was this transfer that changed the fate of tens of thousands of craftsmen.

Not long after arriving at their destination, they received a piece of news that shocked them and made them unbelievable. To be precise, it was not a news, but an announcement. Gao Yuan, the general who conquered the East, canceled their household registration as a craftsman. From then on, they will become free citizens.

Freedom, for craftsmen, is something that generations have longed for, but when it comes too suddenly, it is still unbelievable.

But then a series of actions by Zhengdong Mansion made them truly feel that freedom has indeed come.

Zhengdong Mansion built a house for each of them. The fields were allocated and the livestock were rationed. Although the artisans still had to work in formation, it was the first day of work. The person in charge of the workshop clearly informed them of the amount of remuneration they would receive each day. If you don't want to do it anymore, you have to notify the workshop one month in advance. In short, come and go freely.

In Zhengdong Mansion, there is no coercion. Only voluntary.

One after another, the dizzying shocks came to an end. The land allocated to them will be exempted from taxes for three years. The land is allocated to them for free, but the houses and livestock have to be paid. The money must be repaid to Zhengdong Mansion within three years. In Mu Qiu's opinion, the price of these things is really too cheap. You know, in Langya County, a cow costs at least five taels of silver to buy, but in Jishi City, they only need to pay one tael of silver. As for the price they need to pay for the house distributed to them, in Mu Qiu's view, it is almost a free gift, and I am afraid that even the materials cannot be bought.

Jishi City is full of opportunities to make money. Go to the workshop to work, and the price is the highest. Craftsmen with special skills, especially blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons, are paid so that they can be hired within a year. Pay off these debts. If you don't have any special skills, even if you go to work on a construction site in the city, you will be paid a lot of money.

If you have a more flexible mind and can do some small businesses, your income will be even more substantial.

The tens of thousands of craftsmen from Langya County forgot their hometown all of a sudden, and took Jishi City as their home. The hardships of generations have made these artisans burst out with great enthusiasm. They worked desperately to make money, and everyone in the family who could move took action.

Men go to the workshop, and women go to work on the farmland. Even the elderly and children can knock small stones. This does not require any skills. You just need to take a small hammer and knock the stones one by one. One day's income is enough for a person's daily living expenses.

These craftsmen paid off all their debts in less than a year, and now, every penny they earn belongs to them.

All craftsmen see hope.

Compared to the enthusiasm of the elders in the family to make money, Mu Qiu has his own ideas. When he came to Jishi City, he had just turned 18 years old and was a hard worker in the family. The first thing he did was not to follow his father to the workshop, but to go to the conscription office in Jishi City and sign up to be a soldier.

Mu Qiu's family is almost full of carpenters, looking for wood for many years, wielding an axe, and pulling a big saw, making Mu Qiu look very powerful, especially the two thick arms, which are even more impressive to the officers at the conscription office. As soon as it came to light, Mu Qiu became a member of the East Conquering Army without wasting any words.

He signed up without telling his family, but when he returned home wearing a brand-new military uniform and holding the first month's military salary in advance, although his family was surprised, they did not object. Because the salaries of soldiers in the Eastern Army were really high enough, higher than his father's hard work for a month. Only the mother cried silently. For the mother, being a soldier means going to the battlefield, and going to the battlefield means that she may die.

Mu Qiu didn't think about these things, what he saw was the might of those officers, and he also wanted to be such an officer.

"I will become an officer, I will make you proud of me, I will honor my ancestors and become the first official in the Mu family." Mu Qiu proudly uttered bold words to his parents.

When you enter the military camp, you can no longer go home casually. It is not bad if you can go home once a month. He also enjoys boring queue exercises.

He threw himself into his new venture with great enthusiasm.

Because of his outstanding performance, he came out of the new barracks and became the captain of a ten-man team, and his salary increased a little because of this.

When I go home once a month, the money I bring back will make my father very happy, only my mother will look at him with melancholy eyes every time she sees him, and every time she leaves home, she will provoke her mother tears. Although he knew that his mother loved him and worried about him, Mu Qiu was still very unhappy. He changed the number of times he went home to once every two months.

The war came as soon as it was said, and the cruel defense of Jishi City started. The recruits who had been trained for half a year stepped onto the battlefield for the first time, raising their swords and guns. Mu Qiu killed someone for the first time.

This battle allowed Mu Qiu to see the cruelty of war and how human life is worthless. The ten brothers under his command all fell by his side in less than three days. The physical fitness and strength of ordinary people, but survived unscathed.

From the first time he killed someone, to the end when he killed the enemy without feeling like chopping wood at home, Mu Qiu has completely transformed from a recruit to a qualified veteran.

He is no longer as excited as when he first entered the battlefield, but he has learned to seize every moment to rest and recover his strength. He can lie in a pool of blood, fall asleep during the short interval of battle, and can also fight when the enemy launches The moment he attacked, he jumped up, full of energy. He learned to sit on the corpse of the enemy, look at the corpse of his comrades, and swallow food without nausea.

A war made Mu Qiu truly grow up.

The Battle of Jishi City ended with the victory of the Eastern Army. Mu Qiu, who survived, became a soldier and was incorporated into the First Army of the Northern Field Army. After following Xu Yuan to the Hetao Plain, because of his outstanding Xu Yuan's quality was admired by Xu Yuan, and he was transferred to Xu Yuan's personal guard camp.

Although the soldier who led fifty people once again became the leader of a ten-man team, Mu Qiu knew that this was the starting point for him to take off. Officer. This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone.

This time as a sentinel to cross the river, Mu Qiu took the initiative to invite Sakura, and took five brothers along the way to draw a map of the north bank. In the first few days, except for birds and animals, they never saw a single person, but as they Gradually deepening, I began to see the tents of Donghu people.

A small group of Donghu people began to appear in their field of vision. Their companions suggested returning, but Mu Qiu wanted to make greater contributions. With his insistence, the six of them flew day and night, Until yesterday, they were discovered by Donghu people.

After a fierce battle, all five companions were killed, only he escaped alone, but now, he is lost.

After lying on the ground for an unknown amount of time, Mu Qiu finally heaved a sigh of relief. The war horse had eaten enough grass, walked to his side, kept arching his body with its mouth, and Mu Qiu stood up with support. , took out a handful of beans from the bag next to the saddle, fed them to the war horse, took out a hard bun from the bag on the other side, and swallowed a little with the water in the bag, and regained a little strength Some.

Now I want to find a way to go back to the big camp. I looked up at the sky, but there was not even a single star, it was pitch black, and I couldn't tell the way. Gritting my teeth, he pulled up the horse and chose a Direction, then go forward.

Standing here and waiting passively is never as good as taking action. This is a rule that the instructor told him when he was in the recruit team.

Go forward. Mu Qiu leads the horse and stumbles forward in the darkness. Horsepower needs to be cherished. He can give himself the greatest help when he is fleeing. (To be continued~IndoMTL.com ~
