Chapter 5 The Opening of Hell (1)
What kind of official is this? Along the way, Ge Chang stared at Lin Feng's figure and found that his pace had not slowed down at all. He was evenly increasing his speed, gradually turning into a jog.
From then on, will he keep running like this? Running to victory? An idea suddenly appeared in Ge Chang's mind.
When he arrived at the place where the official road turned to the trail, Ge Chang turned his nose and became pissed. Most of his men and horses were already crooked. Several soldiers had completely fallen behind and took a few steps to stop.
Ge Chang took a few steps back, ran to the few fallen people, picked up the scabbard and smashed it, and cursed: "Are you embarrassed? You can't run away from the child and the scholar. I warn you one last time. If you really don't want to follow, you can go back directly, and my team won't want you anymore!"
In comparison, the Imperial Guards are still a good job with a good value for money. They are beautiful in front of people, are well treated, and have basically never been on the battlefield. Most people really can't get in! When these people heard this, they immediately raised their strength and ran a few steps, but after a while, they completely slowed down. There is no way, their strength is too poor!
"I don't care. If you really can't keep up in the end, I congratulate you on your complete freedom from now on!" Ge Chang piled up fiercely and rushed forward on his own.
Before dark, Lin Feng and his group rushed to the entrance of the valley. At this time, Ge Chang had already rushed to them, maintaining the same speed as they had been.
Well, it's not bad. Lin Feng looked at Ge Chang with appreciation, slowed down, and walked towards Li Qing, Wei San, Sun Cuo, Chen Fei and others who were waiting at the entrance of the valley.
Lin Feng waved to Wei San and others, and asked Li Qing: "Have you set up all the simple dormitories I ordered last time?"
"Report to Lord Lin, all of them are set up. There are three places in total, one in the outer valley and three in the inner valley. Li Qing congratulates Lord Lin for his promotion!" Li Qing replied respectfully. He had just asked Wei San about this and was very impressed. It was only a few days before he was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank. It depends on his promotion speed!
"Thank you for your hard work! I will have to worry about you more in the future!" Lin Feng patted Li Qing on the shoulder.
"Serving adults is an honor for villains!" Li Qing replied quickly.
Lin Feng walked towards Sun Cuo, pulled him aside, and asked whispered: "Brother Sun, have you all settled?"
"There has been resettled. All the things in the old shop have been cleaned up. All the eight guys followed. We have settled down at the part close to the iron ore. My guys have started to rebuild the stove in the afternoon." Sun Cuo said excitedly.
"Haha, this time Your Majesty gave us a thousand guan first, which is specifically used to purchase our weapons. I will draw the appearance of the weapons for you!" Lin Feng was very satisfied.
"Okay, this is our first big business!" Sun Cuo became even more excited and rubbed his big hands hard.
"You have started to make money. Remember to send more money to those reporters, otherwise you will be careful of the outflow of talents and technology!" Lin Feng was worried and explained again.
"I know that these guys are not married. I have already mentioned the salary to them before I come. They will be doubled. They are not happy yet!" Sun Cuo replied.
"That's good!" Lin Feng hugged Sun Cuo's shoulder hard, turned his hand and touched Chen Fei's head that had been following him, gave Wei San a few instructions, turned around and walked towards Ge Chang.
Ge Chang kept standing at the entrance of the valley, counting his men silently. When he saw the few people falling behind, he was sweating heavily and limping, he felt relieved. If a few people really ran away, this person would be lost.
"Mr. Ge, can you please gather together? Let me meet you and say a few words?" Lin Feng said to Ge Chang with a smile. At this time, Zheng Yucong and his men had already stood around with torches.
"Okay!" Ge Chang rushed out again, kicked up the soldiers sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, and made them stand up. Although Ge Chang was very cold and cool in daily life, it was because he didn't like the talents he was good at. He was very good at the soldiers in his own country, especially when he selected more than ten brothers from the border army.
The team finally stood like a single person, and Ge Chang shouted loudly: "Everyone is quiet. Now please speak to the doctor and the Zhaowu Captain Lin Fenglin!"
Lin Feng stood on a stone and found that more than ten soldiers in the team stood up straight early, with their faces like Ge Chang, and their faces were full of tattoos.
Lin Feng's face turned solemn and said loudly: "All those who have tattoos on their faces are out of the list."
Ge Chang was stunned and subconsciously took a step forward. The other dozen tattooed people also quietly stepped forward, standing in a row with Ge Chang, looking at Lin Feng with hatred.
"Ge Dutou, I'll ask you, do you hate the word "tattoo" on your face?" Lin Feng asked loudly.
"Hate! I hate!" Ge Chang blurted out that he practiced martial arts since he was a child and had a high opinion of himself. However, a few years ago, he was conscripted into the army when he was conquering Fujian in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because of his strong resistance, he had such a sign on his face. Although he was elected as the Imperial Guard with his brothers from the same county because of his heroic battle, it was such a shame that made him fed up with his colleagues' fingers and ridicule.
"Where are you?" Lin Feng pointed at more than ten other tattooers.
"Hate!" They shouted in unison. They were often scolded by the people of Jinling City when patrolling the streets because of the words on their faces. They were often scolded and scolded as "stinky soldiers" by the people of Jinling City. "It's so disgusting"!
"Ge Dutou, can you remove this word?" Lin Feng asked afterwards.
"No!" Ge Chang shook his head in pain.
This kind of taunt is made by using a knife or needle, which can reach the bones deeply and then dyed ink. How to remove it? "Youyang Zazu" once recorded that during the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Chengshi's servant passed by Huangkeng. His entourage picked up a dead man's skull to prepare medicine. He actually found traces of the three words "Escape Slave" on a piece of bone, which was as color as light ink. Duan Chengshi inferred that this was the skull of a tattooed man in ancient times. This story fully proved that the taunt marks could even be deeply imprinted on a human skull.
"Then, we only have the only way left, which is to completely turn this tattoo into a kind of glory, so that people in the world will only be proud of it, beautiful, not ashamed of it, or ugly!" Lin Feng said loudly.
How do you say this? Ge Chang and the brothers in distress raised their heads and looked at Lin Feng steadily.
Lin Feng jumped off the stone, took a steel knife he had just received from Wei San, walked to Ge Chang, and signaled him to take out his sword.
"Hao!" Lin Feng shouted loudly and slashed the knife in his hand at Ge Chang's knife. Ge Chang subconsciously raised the knife to hold it.
With a "clang", Ge Chang's knife broke and fell to the ground. At this moment, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Lin Feng raised the knife in his hand and let everyone see it. The knife in his hand was only touched with a small gap. Yilin Feng observed that, based on Ge Chang's current situation, the knife he used must be a defective product specially arranged by Chen Xiangwen and others. The quality must be inferior to the steel knife of the guards beside Li Jing.
"How can the glory of the future come from? You can only cut it out! What to cut out is only the knife in our hands! Tell everyone that countless such treasure swords can be produced in the valley behind me, which can be said to be the world's number one sharp knife! This first gives us the sharp weapon to win honor!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.
"At present, the emperor wants to make changes, and elite soldiers are the key ones. A large military parade and competition will be held next year. As long as you are really capable, anyone can stand out! I can guarantee everyone that in the future, the foreign war between the Southern Tang Dynasty will only be more and less, which will give us the opportunity and stage to become famous." Lin Feng continued to shout.
At this time, Ge Chang and his brothers had a glimmer of magic in their eyes. They had originally worked hard to achieve it, with only desire for war but no fear.
"With the weapons that are unfavorable and the opportunity to show your skills, Lin Feng can also give you the guarantee of establishing your life and settling down. I hereby swear to heaven, I promise you that as long as you become my subordinates in the future, you can participate in the war dividends I designed. In other words, as long as you are careful to be a good soldier and win the war, you and your family will not have to worry about your livelihood from now on!" Lin Feng took the opportunity to reveal some information about his future military ideas.
"Ge Dutou, how about it? With these, do you have confidence??" Lin Feng shouted at Ge Chang.
"Mr. Lin, take everything you said seriously?" Ge Chang stared in Lin Feng's eyes and shouted back.
"No silence!" Lin Feng did not show any weakness and stared back in his eyes.
"Okay, I believe! My life will be sold to Lord Lin from now on!" Ge Changhong shouted with eyes, turned to his brothers, and shouted, "Where are you, believe me or not?!"
"Believe!" The brothers shouted out, because they were born in the same county and were tattooed at the same time. Since they first went to the battlefield, they have been relying on each other and have long decided to share life and death.
"Okay! Good man! Lin admired me!" Lin Feng exclaimed and walked to the back rows of soldiers. The interests and fighting spirit of these people were also aroused by Lin Feng's inspiration. Many people looked excited and stood upright.
"Do you know why you are here?" Lin Feng slowly looked around everyone, lowered his voice and said slowly, then suddenly raised his voice and said the answer word by word, "That's because your general, the captain, in front of King Qi and me, unanimously concluded that you are all useless people, and you will not win the game two months later!"
Everyone was shocked immediately. Many people began to clench their fists, and their eyes were also ignited with flames of anger due to humiliation.
"Ge Dutou and the others just have the words "tatto" on their faces, and you have already been tattooed by others in your heart! Those words "tatto" are 'waste'! 'waste'! Are you willing to live your life with such a sign on your back?!" Lin Feng yelled.
"I don't want to!" A thin soldier blushed and shouted first. Then, the other soldiers shouted out, their voices getting more and more tidy and high, and finally formed a bright voice: "I don't want to!"
"In the eyes of those generals, we are all like mud on the soles of their shoes, which can be bullied at will and trampled at will. We want to prove that we are not mud and we are not waste. Let us act and exercise desperately. Two months later, let us prove to them with our efforts and fists, and let us tell them with complete victory that we are the best soldiers! We are the best soldiers!" Lin Feng retreated to the stone, waved his arms and shouted.
"We are the best!" All the soldiers shouted wildly. The passionate voice broke the silence of the mountain night. Several birds on the nearby trees were startled and fled to the distance in a hurry.
