Chapter 48 Opportunity
Sun Kexian had actually noticed these two people. He saw with his own eyes that these two people slid from about one hundred to now 3,400. If they said they didn't care whether they could join the Yulin Guard, they wouldn't still insist on running now. If they were concerned, they obviously had no chance to run into the top 1,000 without carrying someone on their backs. Even if their relationship was good, wouldn't they know that they would lose the opportunity in this way?
"Go and bring them both."
"Yes, General."
Lying on his brother's back, Du Xiaoshan almost said in a pleading tone, "Brother, let me down."
Du Dashan's honest voice came: "Don't let go, I want to eat meat together."
"Brother, if you continue like this, you won't be able to eat meat. Let me down. I can eat meat when you have money." Du Xiaoshan secretly regretted that he sprained his ankle and shouldn't have let his brother carry it on his back. In this way, it is certain that he lost the election. The two brothers will have to live the hard life they used to be.
Du Dashan and Du Xiaoshan are farmers outside Nanjing City. Their parents died early, and only the two brothers depended on each other. They usually rented more than ten acres of land, but they were both big-bellied men. Two-thirds of the production of these more than ten acres of land was for land rent, and the remaining one-third was not enough for the two brothers to fill their stomachs. Therefore, during the slack farming period, the two brothers often went up the mountain to hunt some wild game, which not only improved food, but also brought the big wild game to the city to buy silver for daily urgent use.
A few days ago, the two brothers hunted a wild boar worth hundreds of kilograms and went to the city to buy about one or five cents of silver. Just as the two brothers were happy to go home, they just heard the notice of the Yulin Guard recruiting troops. When they heard five taels of silver per month, they were straightforward. Although they could buy more than one tael of silver if they hit a wild boar, wild boars were not so easy to fight, and they could not catch a few in a year. Moreover, hunting such a big wild boar is full of dangers. Think about it, there was nothing at home anyway, and they didn't go back home immediately and signed up to join the army.
Unfortunately, you can join the army just by saying you can participate. You still need to choose a dial. In the past few days, there are white rice, meat at noon and fish at night, which makes the two brothers smile and make up their minds to stay in the army. Fortunately, God seems to be helping them, and the content of the dial is to see who runs faster.
When they went up the mountain, they often walked dozens of miles in the mountains, and sometimes they had to walk hundreds of miles a day. Even if there was such a flat road, the two brothers were the first to take the lead. Unfortunately, half of them ran, but their luck changed. The foot of Du Xiaoshan, who could walk dozens of miles in the mountains in the past, actually sprained the foot of Du Xiaoshan.
"No, if I join the army, what should you do without my care?" Du Dashan said stubbornly.
Du Xiaoshan had no choice but to smile bitterly. He knew that his brother was a little stubborn. He could not even take back anything he had decided before you persuaded him. But he didn't have time to convince his brother now.
"Come here for both of you." Sun Kexian's personal soldiers pointed at the two.
Seeing that the Yulin Guard came over, the running team paused and shot countless envious gazes before continuing to move forward. However, Du Dashan didn't even look at it, and walked intermittently with his head buried. Du Xiaoshan could see clearly on his back and pointed to his nose and asked, "Sir, are you calling us?"
"Yes, it's the two of you." The personal soldiers nodded.
"Brother, stop for a while, the Lord of Yulin Guard calls us."
"Don't make trouble." Du Dashan was still busy rushing to the road.
"Brother, really, stop quickly." Du Xiaoshan was anxious. Although he didn't know what the Yulin Guard called them, Du Xiaoshan's intuition would not be a bad thing.
Du Dashan then stopped and looked to the right in confusion. Seeing that there was indeed a Yu Linwei waved to him, he immediately turned and came to Yu Linwei with Du Xiaoshan on his back: "Sir, what's the matter with us?"
"Come with me, the general has something to ask you."
Du Dashan hesitated for a moment. If he delayed him again, there would be no hope. Du Xiaoshan's mind was quick and he hurriedly urged: "Brother, hurry up, the military order is like a mountain, how can the general not listen to the words?"
When Du Dashan heard the military orders, he was smart and followed him quickly. Those who signed up for the Yulin Guard did not just eat for free in the military camp. Every day, they listened to the various military disciplines of the Yulin Guard for an hour and arranged some simple training.
After listening to Du Dashan's stuttering story, Sun Kexian pondered for a moment: "In this way, you put your brother down for the time being. If you can still run into a thousand people now and have not won in the end, I will let both of you brothers join the Yulin Guard, how about it?"
For some reason, Sun Kexian liked this honest man a little when he first saw Du Dashan. However, Du Xiaoshan was a little slick, which made Sun Kexian dislike it. However, he had already seen that Du Dashan was a decisive person, so he decided to help them.
"Really?" Du Dashan asked in surprise.
Of course, Sun Kexian could not affect the test results. However, Sun Kexian had five personal soldiers, and these personal soldiers could be selected by the chief general himself. Currently, Sun Kexian only has one personal soldier, and his personal soldiers still have four personal soldiers. It is not impossible to accept two brothers.
Sun Kexian didn't say much, but just nodded. Of course Du Dashan knew that such an opportunity would be rare: "Xiaoshan, wait, I will definitely run into a thousand."
Du Dashan probably couldn't count the number of one thousand people, but he knew that the better he would run, and he reminded Du Xiaoshan, and he rushed into the team like a gust of wind. The crowd who were running loudly felt a flash in front of them, and a black shadow rushed to them.
"Follow him and see how many talents he can run." Sun Kexian said to his personal soldiers.
"Yes, sir." The soldier knocked his feet gently, stepped down and ran forward.
At this time, Du Dashan had actually pulled himself to 5,000 people, and the person in front was less than two miles away from the test site. In other words, Du Dashan wanted to pull himself from 5,000 to 1,000 people within these two miles.
In fact, Sun Kexian did not believe that Du Dashan could do it. In his imagination, as long as Du Dashan could enter two thousand, he could meet his standards for recruiting personal soldiers. This would be a legitimate way to mobilize Du Xiaoshan. His personal soldiers should live and die with the chief general, and he would sacrifice his life to protect the chief commander at a critical moment. No one wanted to have a slick person in his personal soldiers, let alone a mere five personal soldiers.
The first test finally ended in the morning. The first group of people who entered the top 1,000 were smiling, and those who had not entered were full of frustration. Five taels of silver per month's military pay had left them. If it weren't for the three thousand Yulin Guards riding horses and the full range of military generals were monitoring each other, something might have happened.
