Chapter 235 Promotion
Beigong Jing’s conversation is very skillful. When he praises others, it is definitely true feelings; when he invites you, he is absolutely sincere, making you feel sorry for not agreeing. Li Rui and Pei Wei were treated exactly the same, both of them were praised by Beigong Jing, and they only felt that if they met a confidant, they would not lose their life to him... At least Pei Wei still thinks like this until now!
But now, after learning that Li Rui was treated like this, his mood was the same as the infatuated man suddenly realized that the sweet words his girlfriend said to him were just wholesale. I don’t know how many times he copied and pasted. That was a heart attack!
If you are slaughtered, you will definitely be slaughtered.
Of course, like all the infatuated men who were unlucky to meet the Queen of the Sea, Pei Wei would never admit that he was scumbag. He was timid in the Queen of the Sea, which would not prevent him from attacking his rival. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Major General praised me for his skillful archery and horse skills, and was a first-class cavalry general!"
Li Rui said: "The Major General praised me for being unparalleled in riding and shooting. Even among the Hu people, it is difficult to see such a magical skill!"
Pei Wei only felt that the feeling of myocardial infarction was getting stronger and stronger, but the damn desire for victory and defeat did not allow him to admit defeat. He shouted: "The Major General praised me for my high martial arts skills, and I can be as good as ten in infantry and cavalry warfare!"
Li Rui said: "The Major General praised me for being brave and resourceful, and saved thousands of people under the knife of the Hu people!"
Pei Wei immediately hit the vital point. He did not forget that when he was being chased by the Hu people, he suggested that regardless of the lives of the common people, he would throw them to the Hu people and feed them to the Hu people with a knife!
He was so angry that he was angry: "You———"
Li Rui was proud: "What's wrong, is the Major General's evaluation of me so much higher than that of you?"
Pei Wei snorted angrily: "You are just lucky, you can just change me to me!"
Li Rui shook his head. If there was a tail, it would probably be shaking it into a propeller: "But you didn't get on!"
Pei Wei gritted his teeth: "Hey, Li, has anyone told you that people who love to step on others and hurt their feet generally don't live long?"
The two of them looked at each other at a distance when they almost kissed each other, from language confrontation to eye confrontation. Under the control of the inexplicable desire for victory and defeat like a chicken in elementary school, they stared at each other viciously without blinking, and they would like to reward each other with a fragile momentum.
After a while...
After a while...
After a while...
Pei Wei finally lost. Damn Li Rui, like a stone statue, wouldn't blink at all. After glaring for so long, his eyes were so uncomfortable that he was dying. That guy was not doing anything! He blinked quickly... Really, quickly, hoping to hide it from Li Rui's eyes. Maybe Li Rui was blinking too when he blinked, so he would not lose. But unfortunately, Li Rui didn't blink and caught his little move. Seeing that he blinked, he immediately cheered: "You blink, you blink, you lost!"
Pei Wei said angrily: "I will lose to you? Just kidding!"
Li Rui was proud: "Then don't blink!"
Pei Wei said: "The mosquito hit my eyes, how can I not blink?"
Li Rui nodded repeatedly: "Well, mosquitoes that can fly around in the cold winter are probably rare in a century, right? You have bumped into such a rare thing. An accident is purely an accident and you can't be considered a loss!"
Pei Wei could naturally hear his ridicule, and was so angry that he was itchy, but he had no choice but to change the topic: "By the way, what are your plans next?"
Speaking of serious matters, Li Rui naturally became serious, silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, I don't know what to do next. Xionger Mountain Camp is a solid barrier west of Luoyang, and will definitely encounter fierce attacks from the Hu people. Staying here, the fight between corpses and blood will definitely be inevitable. Maybe even your life will be taken. But let's leave here, let's not talk about whether you can get through it. At the moment, the entire Central Plains region is in chaos, where can we go?"
Pei Wei sighed lowly: "Yes, this world is so desperate. Since there is nowhere to go, stay here to fight side by side with the Major General, so as not to let down his grace of knowing his grace."
Li Rui said: "That's all!"
Pei Wei stood up and said, "Then, I'll go back and rest first. Brother Li, you should rest early, and you will go to receive the soldiers tomorrow! They are all veterans who have escaped more than once, each of them, and they are even more slippery than loaches. Once you enter the military camp, you must fight wits and courage with them. It's not enough to not maintain enough energy!"
Li Rui also got up, took him to the door, and said, "Brother Pei, go slowly."
Pei Wei said, "Stay." After that, he went back to his room and closed the door. It seemed that he was about to rest.
Li Rui closed the door and returned to the dining table, picked up chopsticks and stuffed the remaining pieces of horse meat into his stomach, stopped washing the dishes, slammed the bowl onto the table, took off his boots and lay onto the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went to bed!
Pei Wei is right. Beigong Jing gave them all deserters who escaped from the battlefield. Many of them escaped more than once, one of them slipped than loaches, and they really couldn't handle it without raising their spirits. Of course, he never thought about training the veterans into elite soldiers. He just wanted to suppress them and win over them, and then choose some better skills from them, and then find an opportunity to escape together. He was just an archery athlete who died before he could succeed. He did not know anything except archery. He came to this chaotic world where life was as low as grass. He did not think about making achievements. He just hoped to find a remote place to hide and escape the endless war and killing. As for the matter of fighting with the Hu people, let's leave it to Beigong Chun, Beigong Jing and other fierce people, they are more professional!
With trembling, Li Rui spent his first night in this chaotic world.
I was sleeping very uneasy, it was so cold! Although the bed was covered with a thick layer of wheat straw and a thick quilt, it was all unsatisfactory. He was so cold that he almost couldn't stand it! So he got up as soon as the sky was dawn, tried every means to build a small stove, got some firewood to create a fire in the room, and almost all of them were on the stove, which dispelled the bone-broken chill!
————He was really unlucky. He inexplicably returned to this era of extreme lack of effective cold-proof materials and means, and hit the longest Little Ice Age since Chinese written records. This Little Ice Age started from the late Eastern Han Dynasty and lasted until the end of the Northern Weekly, and lasted for nearly four hundred years. In the long period of nearly four hundred years, the global temperature has fallen again and again, the farming line has stepped back, and grain production has dropped sharply. It has been common for rivers and lakes such as Huaihe River, Chaohu, Taihu Lake and other rivers in the Jianghuai region to freeze. At the most deathly time, even cities in the Lingnan region that may not encounter frost for dozens or hundreds of years have also had snowflakes fluttering in the north wind! As a modern person, he was thrown back to North China during the Little Ice Age without even a cotton coat. Not to mention the sourness!
This is really not something that humans live!
He decided that the most urgent task was to get himself a cotton coat, the worst was duck down or goose down jacket. This was the first priority, because without it, he would soon be cold to death! Even his life could not be saved, so why would he talk about escaping from the chaotic Central Plains and finding a paradise to live in seclusion?
Fortunately, not long after, Beigong Jing sent him a steaming breakfast. I was so grateful. After a bowl of hot rice, he would be much warmer!
Breakfast is millet rice. The so-called millet rice means cleaning the millet after being shelled, then put it in a cookware and cook it, and you can eat it... Of course, if possible, you can sprinkle some salt, which tastes better. In this era, the North China Plain was mainly planted, because the northern Han people in this period still mainly eat grains. Whether it is cooking rice or porridge, the taste is good, while barley and wheat are too far away from cooking wheat rice. Let’s not talk about how much it can be digested. Just chewing it will take a lot of effort to get the boss’s nose.
It is said that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the hardworking and wise ancients invented stone mills that could grind wheat into powder and process them into foods with better taste, but it was very labor-intensive after all, so only those rich families could use it, and ordinary people still had to eat wheat rice. Although the wheat yield was higher than that of millet, the planting area was not comparable to millet. Millet was still the staple food of northerners. During the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the imperial court established the position of Suzu Duwei, who specialized in food, but had never established Suzu Duwei. This is evidence.
I really want to have a bowl of hot and fragrant noodles...
Of course, it’s just a thought. With the conditions of Xiongershan Camp, it’s unlikely that a bowl of noodles can be made. Even if it can be made, the extremely monotonous seasonings of this era may not be in line with his taste.
With a very sad sigh, Li Rui picked up the chopsticks and started to cook seriously.
This should be the most unpalatable breakfast he has ever eaten, but because he was trembling all night and was so hungry that he ate, he didn't bother to pick on it, and ate a large bowl of millet rice without leaving a single pill.
As soon as he was full, Zhang Xiong came over and asked after a few words: "Mr. Li Qu, I will take you to receive the soldiers on the order of the Major General. Do you have anything to prepare?"
Li Rui wrapped the clothes he could find on him, wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, and then put on his long sword and bow and arrow, then said, "There is nothing to prepare!"
Zhang Xiong said: "Then...please follow me." He said that he was completely leading the way.
Li Rui followed him out of the barracks and walked along the mountain road towards a camp in the distance. Along the way, he looked around but could not see Pei Wei's shadow. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where is Pei Quhou? Didn't he say he would accept the soldiers together? Where are others?"
Zhang Xiong said: "He has set out long ago."
Li Rui couldn't help but grin. He got up early enough and didn't hear Pei Wei going out. He seriously suspected that this guy had set off before dawn. He could get up early in the morning and run to accept the sergeant in such a cold day. Be good, this guy is really the number one official fan of Tianzi!
