Chapter 11 Ambition
The new book is on the list, so if you have tickets, please support me. Thank you!
In the square in front of the ancestral hall, there were flames. The Zhu family members drank in big gulps and ate large pieces of meat, and were happy.
At the front of the square, a man in his thirties, wearing a robe, carrying a two-foot bronze sword, and a big bow behind him, knelt down. He held a wooden bowl in his hand, full of wine.
His name is Lin Ben, a samurai in the Nagisa family, the leader of this team of horses.
There was a smile on his face at this moment, and he was undoubtedly very happy.
Today, he thought it was a chore, but he didn't expect that this place would be such a good place. There were so many savages hiding. It was a great achievement to capture them as slaves. What's even more rare is that the savages are so rich.
There are wine in the valley, wild people make fruit wine, meat, bacon marinated by hunters after shooting wild animals, and the most valuable ones are wild animal leather, as well as livestock such as oxen, pigeons, chickens and ducks. In addition, the food they store is also quite large, enough for hundreds of households in several villages to eat for a year.
After returning this trip, the whole harvest was obtained. According to the convention, Doctor Zhuyi would definitely reward him with part of his reward.
But he had greater ambitions in his heart. This developed valley has fertile land and a dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Zhuzi conferred him the title of village, what a beautiful thing it would be. Whether it is houses, buildings, fields, orchards, or irrigation through channels in villages, they are ready-made. With a little operation, you can support hundreds of households and thousands of people.
But this has to be planned carefully. Ruo Nagiko knew the inside story of this place and must have kept it himself. How could he seal it out?
"They are all full. Today, the two and the three sons have made great contributions. At night, there are wine, meat, and women. Everyone can enjoy it."
He poured the wine, although it was fruit wine, but it was worth a lot of money. He gave the inferior Wu Zhu a food and drink. He also felt a little painful, but in order to make things worry about it, he had to win people's hearts and even pulled them all into the water. Thinking of this, it was nothing.
The soldiers thanked each other in unison and drank the wine in big mouthfuls, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Lin Ben only took a sip and secretly made a fool of himself. These inferior martial soldiers were undoubtedly easy to buy. If so many fields were distributed to them, the two elite swordsmen would only take more of them. Compared with the fields in the entire valley, there were not many fields, but only one person was not easy to deal with.
He glanced at the man sitting very restrainedly at the left head, a young man about sixteen years old, who is the first person to work together inside and outside today.
"At a young age, I was so cruel, I immediately took effect and even took the initiative to kill my fellow travelers to win the trust of me. Then I took the initiative to lead the way and killed my acquaintances without blinking. If it weren't for him, even if I could find this valley, it would be not easy to attack it."
Under the fire, he saw the boy's face and the eyes on his face became a little familiar.
His eyes were burning with fire, that was ambition.
In this world, capable people have ambitions and the king has ambitions. However, Shen State is too small and surrounded by big countries, and the national strength cannot be extended. Only the matter is big and the matter is maintained. While reorganizing the army and armed forces to prevent annexation, they will also attack the barbarians in the north, annex the territory, plunder the population, and strengthen their strength.
The doctors had ambitions, but the territory of Shen State was only so large and the king was strong. They could only make decisions on the doctors around them. So they fought to the death, and they smelled a little fragrance in the direction of barbarians in the north, and then went up like a wild dog to grab it, and they really became the king's dog.
He also had ambitions and wanted to plan such a large village.
Therefore, ambition is not surprising at all. Doctors even like ambitious subordinates. Only with ambition can they do their best.
But some ambitions will block the way but will hinder.
Lin Ben smiled and signaled the boy from afar.
"You are called Shanchan, right? Come up and I will give you a cup of wine. Today's affairs are the first merit. When you go back tomorrow, when you arrive in front of Nagiko, you will definitely tell you the merit. Nagiko is good at punishing clearly, and I will not hesitate to give it to the man holding the sword."
"The Sword-holder?" Shan Chan was overjoyed and trembled all over. He often went down the mountain and knew what the Sword-holder meant.
The so-called scholars cannot be compared with doctors. In front of doctors, they must claim to be selfish, but for savages and Chinese people, they are already superior to others. A sword-holding man is a swordsman.
Ordinary martial soldiers often use spears, bows and arrows. Only those with status or elite strokes can use swords. They are swords. Swordsmen are actually officers in the army and are often the leader of the army.
Above higher, there are warriors and other talents. Most of them are extraordinary people, and their bodies are enchanted and their strength can be used as ten or even dozens of people. Such people are the objects that any noble doctor must win over. They are often willing to pay a large sum of money to hire relatives, and even do not hesitate to obtain fiefs and grant fiefs.
Although the mountain toad has some strength, it is a bit powerful, but it has not obtained a system after all, and its body has not yet been enlightened. He dared not think about the warrior. For Yu Zhu, he is a newcomer and has achieved a scholar with his talent, but he dares not be rude. However, being able to become a sword-holder is undoubtedly a good start.
He was so excited that his extremely keen senses on weekdays did not notice that Lin Ben's voice was actually not loud when he spoke. No one else around him heard it. He was still laughing loudly, drinking and eating meat, teasing and fiddling with the woman next to him.
He walked forward with a red face and was about to drink with Lin Ben and say something thankful to him, but Lin Ben suddenly looked at him in surprise: "Mountain toad, the short blade on your waist is a bit delicate. Take it over and take it to me and take it."
The mountain toad pulled out the short blade without thinking, but Lin Ben roared.
"Shanye Little Man, you are disrespectful to me and want to do something."
Lin Ben's roar was loud, and the bonfire was stagnant. In an instant, all kinds of sounds stopped in the small square in front of the ancestral hall. The martial arts, swordsmen, and the untidy women were all stunned by the sound.
They looked along the source of the sound and saw Lin Ben's face with righteousness and righteousness, and the mountain toad standing in front of him seemed to be shocked by the sound of Lin Ben's scolding. He held a short blade in his hand and stood there on the spot.
He is worthy of being a samurai, and even the sound of scolding is so powerful.
What happened? When did I disrespect and when did I take action? Shan Chan was stunned, his face was dull in the fire, confused, and finally turned into a terror.
He was a smart person and he actually figured it out at this moment.
But at this time, it was too late to say anything.
Lin Ben sneered, and the two-foot bronze short sword was unsheathed in an instant. He leaned forward and pierced into his abdomen, penetrated directly, and then stirred it hard inside. This time, the mountain toad was not dead for a while, but it twisted in pain. Lin Ben was not anxious, left the sword in his body, admired his expression before his death, and then pulled it out suddenly, splashing blood.
At the last moment, Shanchan remembered the boy he killed before, who often bullied him. He also admired him like this when he killed him.
"ah!"
The mountain toad screamed bitterly, as if drunk, and his body staggered and fell to the ground, gradually disappearing.
There was silence in front of the ancestral hall, and Lin Ben safely enjoyed the awe from his eyes everywhere. This awe was not only for his force, but also for his killing just now, but there were also some people who understood it, but they became more awe.
The way to control the inferior is to use both kindness and power, with this awe, let’s talk about the important things and pull everyone into the water, the effect will only be better.
"Please him down and continue drinking and eating meat. Don't disturb your interest tonight because of a villain in the mountains."
"Ouch, there's a snake."
At this moment, his voice fell, and several nearby martial soldiers were about to put down the wine and flesh woman and go to carry the toad's body when someone suddenly shouted.
Following the sound, the man who called the snake had fallen to the ground, his body twitched and seemed to be unable to survive.
"What, snake?"
"Where is the snake?"
The atmosphere that was about to rise again after the mountain toad died suddenly became cold. Everyone was shocked and stood up, looking around, for fear of being bitten by a snake.
Lin Ben was quite calm. After all, this valley was also in the deep mountains, so it was not surprising that there were snakes. Moreover, he was a warrior and his body was enchanting his strength. Ordinary poisonous snakes could not do anything to him at all. And at this time, he only thought it was just a snake, which was not surprising.
"Ouch." Silently, another martial warrior fell down.
The martial arts soldier stood in a dark place, and everyone didn't even see the shadow of the snake, so he was unable to lie down on the ground.
Lin Ben felt that something was wrong. Snakes were afraid of people. As long as they were not stepped on or were forced to force themselves, they usually would not bite people.
Only those very powerful poisonous snakes will take the initiative to attack people and bite two martial soldiers in succession. The snake that came is so venomous and fierce. It is conceivable that he can't sit still now, and the martial soldiers are even more panicked.
"Don't panic, it's just a snake. Both two and three sons lit the torch and illuminated the surroundings. As long as it comes out and bites people, it will be killed."
Lin Ben came out to command, and everyone had a backbone, panicked and calmed down. They picked up the torch in scattered manner, lit it at the bonfire, and gathered in front of the ancestral hall. All eyes were staring at the light, hoping to find the poisonous snake.
In the darkness, there was light, and there was a warrior Lin Ben next to him. Everyone felt a little relieved. They just waited for the poisonous snake to come out and then beat him to death. However, Lin Ben became uneasy, and his keen perception beyond ordinary people was vaguely warning him.
As a warrior, he has experienced many dangers, and often escaped his life by surviving the instinctive perception of danger, and he could not believe in this perception.
The situation was not good, and it was not as simple as the ordinary martial artists thought a poisonous snake.
He knew that he was targeted by someone who was very powerful enough to threaten his existence.
What exactly is it? Where is it?
The long sword is at the waist, and can be pulled at any time, and the long bow is in the hand, and the heart can be opened, but his hand is shaking slightly. The most terrifying enemy is not an enemy in front of him, but a deadly unknown enemy hidden in the darkness. At any time, it may jump out with one blow.
