Chapter 13: Shuangshu originally made a big plan, and 22 rides to worship the Lord
It is said that Zhao Jin robbed the magic field, rescued 22 death row prisoners, and broke through the siege all the way. Twenty-two people admired Zhao Jin's extraordinary methods. When he left the city, he won the war horse and became the 22nd horse. Zhao Jin led the 22nd horse to kill thousands of pursuers, and everyone worshipped the ability of his benefactor.
Zhao Jin took these 22 riders on the road of return. Twenty-two riders along the way were in high spirits. After walking in front of the ghost gate, thousands of people were waiting to be killed before. Unexpectedly, they could escape from death, and they met such a heroic benefactor! Now when I see this vast blue sky and grassland, it's really like a dream!
The Duke is not only heroic, but also humble. His ability is strong, but he refuses to be called a "divine man". He doesn't even dare to be a "top man" and insists on only calling him a "mountain man". He called everyone "brother" and "strong man" and talked and laughed loudly. Is it so bold? All the heroes couldn't help but feel full of respect and intimacy for Zhao Jin, and asked about the origin of his kindness.
Zhao Yu had no choice but to tell the words that he was a disciple of a fairy. After some hard work far away from the world, the immortals instructed him to go to the world to experience... and so on. Although it's nonsense, there's really no way to say "I'm from a different world in the 21st century"?
At present, Zhao Jin also asked the names of the heroes. Except for Li Tu, who is the leader, who is a general, Xiao Yu, Yan Shizhong, Lin Mi, An Feng, Shi Yi, Tan Sheng, Su Mi Du, etc. are all lieutenants, and the others are ordinary sergeants. Among the lieutenants, there is another difference. Xiao Qian is equivalent to the deputy of a thousand captains. Yan Shizhong, Lin Mi, An Feng and Shi Yi are all centurioners, while Tan Sheng and Su Mi are ten captains.
The ranks of commanders and centurans are famous all over the world in the era of Mongolian expansion due to their adoption by the Mongolian army. But in fact, these ranks are not unique to the Mongolian army. In fact, they were available in the East and the West in ancient times. In ancient Rome, the centurion was a very important grassroots unit, and the centurion was its commander, which was the origin of the later "squadron" and "squadron commander". In ancient China, which is more ancient than ancient Rome, there is an "pastoral oath" in the Book of Shangshu, which records the oath of King Wu of Zhou before the battle of Muye, which mentions: "Situ, Sima, Sikong, Asian brigade, Shishi, thousands of husbands, centurion..."
As for the name of lieutenant, it has also been used for a long time and is generally used to refer to middle and lower-level officers. It is worth mentioning that modern lieutenants have a relatively low status, under the school; in ancient times, lieutenants used to be very high, not only higher than the school, but also ordinary generals. For example, Li Guang, a lieutenant in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and Wei Wei Cheng, are all famous generals in the world! Gao Yu, a lieutenant in the Song Dynasty, was a notorious traitor.
Zhao Jin was happy to save this group of heroes. When passing by the stream, Zhao Jin ordered everyone to get off the horse and rest. He smiled and said, "Let's drink this cool and sweet stream before drinking our horses." Then, the mountain people want to take their brothers to a place. I don't know if it's possible?
The ancients regarded the kindness of saving lives as more important than Mount Tai, and Li Tu did not hesitate to say, "Some people are all at the mercy and go through fire and water!"
All the heroes said, "I would like to go through fire and water with my kindness!" With that, everyone looked awe-inspiring.
Zhao Jin laughed: "Hahaha! Everyone, don't be nervous. Just now in the city, Tang has also gone there, and the fire has also passed. What I'm going to go now is just a good place for mountain people, but I don't know if everyone is willing to go there to hunt and live a leisurely life?
All the heroes were overjoyed and said, "But by grace!"
Zhao Jin said, "It's easy to recognize there. There are two big trees, spring water to the north, and a lot of prey. The brothers are good at archery and have no shortage of food and clothing! By the way, the mountain people still rescued seven women in distress yesterday.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it. No wonder they were surprised - it's not too amazing to save the 22nd horse today, because they are all heroes and full of combat effectiveness; it's strange that they also saved seven women yesterday! Engong is simply amazing. How can he save him?
Although Lin Mi's martial arts skills were mediocre, he was full of poetry and books. At present, he gave a deep salute: "The Lord's kindness is true and compassion."
Zhao Jin quickly returned the gift: "No, no. Mountain people are not from this world, but since they come to this world and meet the suffering weak, of course, they want to save them. Of course, you have to save such a strong man as your brothers! Everyone is a good man. If we unite, we can save more weak people, can't we?
When everyone heard this, they felt that their hearts lit up. Yes, I don't know what the significance of the previous expedition is, and I have already been a little insensitive. Now the benefactor has not only saved everyone, but also pointed out a bright road. Isn't life meaningful?
In ancient times, people were inevitably superstitious. Since such an extraordinary person emerged, common sense could not be explained, and everyone was convinced that this was really God's will to save suffering, so there was a master of immortal cultivation who came to the world with the will of the upper world. In their hearts, everyone felt refreshed and completely forgot the pain and fatigue, as if their whole body was full of strength. Li Tu, Xiao Qian and Lin Mi are not only soldiers, but also educated. They usually study and study in order to seek instructions from God's will to relieve their confusion and give them a direction in this life. Now God's will is in front of us! In their hearts, the excitement is even more different from ordinary people.
Zhao Jin led the crowd to get on the horse and spoke all the way. He was full of interest and didn't realize the time, as if he had just came to the place where the six women were rescued yesterday. Only then did Li Tu and others know that it was the convoy that their army desperately escorted out of the city was slaughtered here, but the Duke killed more than a dozen warriors and rescued six women.
At this time, the sunset shone, and Zhao Jin remembered the women and let the 22nd ride the horse on the ground, including the horse pulling the cart. When the horse ate some grass, he led it away. Except for Zhao Jin, who is not good at riding, everyone else rides one and brings one. Now, there are more people and horses, and Zhao Jin suddenly has a feeling of being very rich, full and powerful.
When I came to the area of Shuangshuyuan, the sky was dusk. Zhao Jin saw the firelight and the faint figures of the women from afar, turned around and smiled at the heroes and said, "I'll go there first. Take your time and don't scare people!"
All the good men understood that, sure enough, in the night, a large group of people rushed over, which really scared people to death, not to mention the weak female stream?
So Zhao Jin took the lead and rushed back first. When the women saw a horse, they carefully identified that it was Zhao Jin, and they all went to greet him happily.
After greeting affectionately, Zhao Jin disembowed and asked with a smile, "Do you miss me?"
Hui Niang smiled and said, "I haven't seen a gentleman, and I'm worried. I can see and stop, and my heart will fall. This is quoted from the Book of Songs, which means: I am very worried about not seeing you; finally seeing you, my heart is relieved.
Chu Chu and Xiangzhi are also very familiar with the Book of Songs, and then laughed and said, "I haven't seen a gentleman, I'm worried. I also saw and stopped, and my heart said. Among them, the word "say" is called "tax", which means joy. It means: I was so worried that I couldn't stop worrying about seeing you; when I finally saw you, my heart became happy.
Although Xing'er and Ping'er are young, they have been influenced by official eunuchs, and now they also boldly answered: "I'm sad not to see a gentleman. It is not only to stop, but also to stop, and my heart is destroyed. It means: I'm very sad that I didn't see you; when I finally saw you, my heart became peaceful.
The women answered like this, which is both elegant and appropriate. Zhao Yu was overjoyed and was about to praise them when Jin Yuan robbed them, "What is it?" Every time you... you scramble to please your brother, but bully you who don't know poetry and books!" With that, he raised his hand and wiped his tears. Yuluan pulled her hand with a smile and scolded on behalf of her brother, "You little actor! I only know gigs and don't know how to write. Who is to blame for being bullied? It's time to hit your board!" With that, the two girls struggled, and the women laughed with Zhao Jin.
As he was happy, Zhao Jin suddenly stopped and said, "Oh! No more. I also brought back 22 heroes. They rode slowly in the back, but I'm afraid they're almost there!"
The women looked at it in a hurry. Sure enough, there seemed to be many people approaching in the night. Fortunately, Zhao Jin came back to explain first, otherwise, won't it be scary? Although they are their own people, women are used to avoiding men in this era, so they quickly hide behind the tree.
Zhao Jin asked 22 to ride over, let them all rest in the open space in front of the tree, and then called the women to come out from behind the tree. First, he introduced, "These are the 22 good brothers I met today!" When I wanted to introduce the women again, I didn't know how to say it for a moment, and said vaguely, "The sisters are following me now."
Women salute. All the good men think that this is a benefactor's woman, and the friend's woman can't be bullied, not to mention the benefactor's woman? So the heroes were very respectful and courteous to them. The women avoided when they saw the ceremony and quickly turned back to the tree. The heroes followed Zhao Jin to the open space a little farther away, took the firewood collected by the women in the daytime, and lit a big fire. The women did not dare to come to the original fire and rekindle a fire on the other side of the tree.
So the three fires, separated by the crowd on both sides of the two trees, showed a wonderful romantic taste in the confused wilderness and thick night. Zhao Jin sat down to watch the night scene, felt the atmosphere, and leisurely forgot all his troubles.
