Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

I just didn't expect that he would also be connected with Gang Leader Hong.

However, after hearing what the other party said, Qiao Feng didn't care about those things. He was moved for a moment, but then remained silent.

Wang Qin pondered for a moment, poured the two men some good wine, and continued, "...Besides, within our righteous army, we don't care about ethnicity. We only consider the people of the world. Boss Qiao doesn't need to worry too much."

actually......

What he said was indeed correct, but if he had not heard what Hong Qigong said and knew some of the connections between the two and their superiors, he probably would not have said it.

After all, this kind of matter is too sensitive, how could a small clerk like him have the right to interfere?

But since he knew that his superiors had paid attention to Qiao Feng and seemed to look upon him with some special regard, he naturally gritted his teeth and said these words.

(Is the money good?) It’s not for him, just to get him to join.

Based on his understanding of Boss Qiao, even without mentioning anything else, just talking about his ability, he is the best choice at the moment.

Wasn't it amazing that he was able to gain the respect of hundreds of thousands of Beggar Gang brothers?

Therefore, if he could join the rebel army, with his character and ability, he would definitely stand out among the rebels. Regardless of other reasons, he would definitely have a much better future than him, right?

Add to that the potential for attention and concern from those above you, and you might even be able to go even further! A meteoric rise!

When the time comes, as his old friend and subordinate, how can I lend him some strength and move up a level?

certainly......

Even if it was not based on utilitarian considerations, he did think that it would be good for Qiao Feng to join the rebel army, which would be extremely beneficial to him!

Hong Qigong glanced at Wang Qin and laughed to himself.

As an old man becomes more cunning, it is inevitable that he will see the clues. However, this kind of thing is human nature, so you can't say he is wrong.

And for Qiao Feng, the rebel army is undoubtedly a good place to go.

Chapter 474: Determination! Join the Army! Outside Linshui City!

Qiao Feng let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Wang, you have good intentions, but... you're oversimplifying things. The Khitan and the Song Dynasty are sworn enemies, and this is unchangeable. Most Song people regard the Khitan with hostility and disgust. The saying, 'If you enter the barbarians, you become a barbarian; if you enter the Chinese, you become Chinese,' is certainly true, but it's not universally accepted. How could ordinary people think this way?"

The various experiences after the Xingzilin incident made him see this very clearly.

This is not a question of reason or unreasonableness at all. What does it matter if what you say makes sense?

If others know that you are a Khitan, they will immediately start scolding you, or even worse, they will go to war with you. Who would listen to you when you talk about the debate between Chinese and barbarians?

As for the fact that his mother was from the Song Dynasty...

Qiao Feng shook his head secretly. In this world, there is no such thing as judging bloodline by the mother. His father is a Khitan, so in the eyes of the world, he is naturally a Khitan.

"Boss Qiao! You..." Wang Qin looked a little anxious. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Qiao Feng raised his hand slightly, stopping him. He laughed loudly and said, "Brother Wang, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I understand what you mean. I will join the rebel army! As long as the rebels don't despise me, a Khitan, I am willing to contribute my humble efforts! I will do my best for the cause of the righteous army!"

Even if I am excluded or treated hostilely, I will have no regrets!

There is 370 difference between before and now.

Before, Qiao Feng didn't know much about the rebel army, so he just wanted to go south to help the master. If there was any danger, he would try his best to save him. However, when he went south, he saw everything he saw, including what the rebel army did, the various changes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the great improvement in the living conditions of the local people. At this moment, his thoughts were naturally completely different from those when he was in Shaolin.

With the call for justice to save the people of the world and Mr. Fang's great kindness and virtue, Qiao Feng naturally had no objections!

There is no need to say much about the determination to join the rebel army!

I will not retreat because of my Khitan background. What I said just now was just a momentary sigh!

As for the initial idea of ​​protection, it was now completely gone.

The rebel army is in a very good situation. They have a strong military force, many talented people and countless heroes. Why do they need him to be their bodyguard?

In this way, there is naturally no need to look for Mr. Fang as originally planned.

actually......

From a utilitarian point of view, relying on old experiences to personally visit Mr. Fang would undoubtedly be more beneficial to himself, but how could Qiao Feng do such a thing given his character?

He did this before because he thought it was dangerous, but now that there is no danger, no matter if he is motivated by a desire to repay a favor or is inspired by the righteousness of the righteous army, he cannot do such a utilitarian act!

If he wants to join the rebel army, he can just join directly. If he is really capable and can make some contributions to the rebel army, then there is no need to say more; if he, Qiao Feng, has no ability and can't make any contributions, then he can just be a small soldier in the rebel army and contribute his strength.

Wang Qin's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but he still offered some reassurance to Qiao Feng. "Boss Qiao hasn't joined our rebel army yet, so it's natural for you to have some doubts about this. Once you truly join, everything will become clear! Then you'll understand the truth of what I say!"

As he said this, he raised his glass to toast Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng laughed heartily, clinked his glasses with his cup, and drank it all in one gulp!

Feeling the scorching heat rising, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Burn the knife!"

Wang Qin laughed and said, "This is the strong liquor brewed by my rebel army! It's the only one of its kind in the world, and it's still relatively rare outside. I didn't expect that Boss Qiao has tried it too."

Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.

"Not only has he drunk it before, he was able to drink this wine in Linshui. In fact, he was exposed to this wine much earlier than you."

Wang Qin was a little surprised at Hong Qigong's smile, but soon his expression changed.

By the water?

Did you just mention Linshui?!

It should be noted that the rebel army is not unfamiliar with Linshui.

Rather, who in the world doesn’t know that the famous Mr. Fang Han originally lived in seclusion here?

After the Jiangnan Uprising, as the leader of the rebel army, he attracted even more attention. Who in the outside world couldn't tell all about his deeds, not to mention those within the rebel army?

Linshui, a remote border town originally adjacent to Dali, has always been an unknown place, but now it has become very different.

As the saying goes: A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there; a river is not famous for its depth, but for the dragons living there!

Many people now believe that this place near the water is full of dragon energy!

At this moment, Wang Qin became more certain of his previous speculation, and a feeling of urgency and eagerness inevitably surged in his heart.

He was enthusiastic, and Qiao Feng felt much better after making the decision. Hong Qigong was in a very good mood himself, and he was an open-minded person, so the atmosphere was naturally warm and everyone drank to their heart's content!

After three rounds of drinks, Qiao Feng put down the wine bowl he had unknowingly replaced and looked at Hong Qigong, asking curiously, "Old Gang Leader Hong, I wonder what your duties and responsibilities are here with the rebels?"

Wang Qin's face froze slightly, but Hong Qigong didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "The old beggar is now the gatekeeper of this school. On weekdays, he just watches the gate, makes a few inspections, and protects the safety of the students here."

"......" Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment. In fact, according to his guess, the position of the academy president might have passed. Due to the usual customs of the Song Dynasty, he did not dare to think about such a position. But Old Gang Leader Hong must be the general manager of the academy, responsible for teaching martial arts. At the very least, he should be a martial arts master, similar to the elders who teach martial arts in the Beggar Gang. But he did not expect that it would be just like this?

"An accident?"

"This... is indeed somewhat unexpected." Qiao Feng pondered, but quickly realized: "Is it possible that Old Gang Leader Hong did this voluntarily?"

Before Hong Qigong could reply, Wang Qin spoke first, "Alas, it was me who registered Old Gang Leader Hong and recommended him for the job. He wasn't interested in it, so he only got the job as a security guard."

"You don't have to cover up for me." Hong Qigong waved his hand and explained to Qiao Feng, "The situation was initially unclear, and the old beggar had some doubts about the rebels. Due to his status as the leader of the Beggars' Sect, it was difficult for him to actually join the rebels. So, he asked him for a job that required no work, which was this job as a gatekeeper."

Wang Qin said, "Old Gang Leader, things are different now. You have a deep understanding of the rebel army and are willing to help us with all your strength. Why don't you go to other locations? I can also make some adjustments here."

Now under the rule of the rebel army, it is still in a relatively nascent stage. Although there is no possibility of rising to a high position suddenly, it is still possible with a slight adjustment.

At least he was transferred from the position of security guard. There is really no room for advancement in this job. When you think about it carefully, it is really unfair to Boss Hong.

Hong Qigong shook his head vigorously: "This old beggar is not willing to leave. This is a good place. Where else can I find such a good job?"

Normally, as an old man who likes to travel around, it is unlikely that he would stay in one place for too long. However, he really likes the vibrant atmosphere in this school. Many children chatter and call him "old gentleman". Well, he is somewhat reluctant to leave.

Wang Qin was helpless when he saw that he could not persuade him, but considering Qiao Feng's recent statement, it was a pleasant surprise, so he said no more.

The three of them drank heartily that evening, and the next morning Qiao Feng went with Wang Qin to register and was arranged to join the rebel army directly.

Speaking of the rebel army, to follow the military system, one generally has to start with new recruits, that is, to begin a month-long training. Only after that will detailed arrangements be made. However, there are exceptions, but Qiao Feng is not interested in this. Not to mention whether he can take such an exceptional path, even if he can, it is impossible for him to do so according to his temperament.

His previous experience of dealing with the rebels had already aroused his great curiosity, and he was even more looking forward to the so-called recruit training. If he wanted to truly understand the details, what could be more intuitive than experiencing it personally?

Therefore, Qiao Feng could not wait to join the army on the day he received the recommendation document from the barracks.

Not to mention the various surprises that Qiao Feng experienced in the recruit camp.

It is about thirty miles outside Linshui City.

The carriage moved slowly forward, escorted by a small group of elite soldiers from the Nine Divisions.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 475: Gan Baobao: This girl is getting better and better at fooling people!

Inside the carriage, extremely soft animal skins were laid out, and two beautiful women sat facing each other.

One is gentle and beautiful, the other is cold and beautiful.

Gan Baobao lifted the curtain slightly and looked out. He saw the rice fields stretching out in the distance and was secretly surprised. Although he didn't know much about farming, weren't these rice ears a little too big?

but......

Although she was a little curious, there were so many unclear things along the way that she couldn't ask about them one by one.

He lowered the curtain, turned around and looked at Qin Hongmian who was sitting silently, and suggested, "Sister, why don't we just stay together this time? My Wanjie Valley is so empty and boring. I'm afraid you'll be lonely living in the secluded valley by yourself. It would be better for you to stay with your uncle. You can see your daughter on weekdays. If they have a child in the future, we can help take care of them."

She had lived in Linshui for more than half a month, and she was actually quite happy there. She had this idea in mind for a long time, but had to go back because of the matters in Wanjie Valley that needed to be dealt with. Now, Zhong Wanchou died because of Manggu Zhuha, and the affairs in the valley were managed in an orderly manner by the guards. It was really lonely to stay in Wanjie Valley for a few years, so she couldn't help but have this idea again.

Qin Hongmian frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak.

When she first came to Linshui, she felt that the city was noisy and she was not used to living there, so she wanted to return to the quiet valley.

But in the end I misjudged the situation.

Although she had lived in seclusion in the mountains before, she had depended on her daughter for many years, and with such a relative by her side, she did not feel it was a big deal. But after her daughter got married and lived with her husband-in-law in Linshui, she was inevitably left alone when she returned. It was fine at first, but after a long time, she inevitably felt lonely and bored, as her junior sister said.

It was also a relief to have the guards sent by my son-in-law around to chat and relieve my fatigue...

When I heard this suggestion, I was quite interested, but I couldn't make up my mind.

Gan Baobao was of course familiar with the character of her senior sister. If she really didn't want to, she would have refused long ago. Why would she do this?

Without waiting for Qin Hongmian to speak, Sui Yi took her hand, shook it gently, and said with a smile, "That's settled! I'm unsure if I stay alone, but I feel more at ease if Senior Sister comes along."

Having said that, Qin Hongmian nodded and agreed to the matter.

After about an hour and a half, the carriage slowly entered the city.

Gan Baobao couldn't help it, and once again slightly opened the curtain to look in. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened slightly. The scene in the city was undoubtedly much more prosperous than what she had seen a few years ago. The roads were extremely clean, and a lot of space had been opened up on both sides. Walking along the avenue inward, it was bustling with people, and the people walking on it all looked radiant and full of energy.

Such a scene was something Gan Baobao had never seen before. Even Qin Hongmian beside him couldn't help but look sideways in surprise.

A quarter of an hour later.

in the courtyard.

"Mother~"

Zhong Ling, in a flowing green dress, said with a smile, "Ling'er is waiting impatiently!"

Gan Baobao's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but go forward and hug his daughter. He spoke softly for a while, and then looked at her carefully, his eyes shining with a strange light.

Her daughter is becoming more and more charming now, even her manners and demeanor are extraordinary!

It seems that you are having a great time with your uncle!

Qin Hongmian was also chatting with Mu Wanqing and talking about personal matters.

At night, the courtyard was very lively.

Huang Rong personally cooked a delicious meal and entertained the two beautiful women with a feast.

There is no need to say much about this.

It was only in the evening that Gan Baobao returned to the room with Zhong Ling, and she took the opportunity to talk about her and Qin Hongmian's thoughts.

"Oh! That couldn't be better!" Zhong Ling clapped her fair hands, her expression filled with joy and excitement. "It should have been done long ago! Mother, you were all alone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Ling'er was always worried and missed you so much. Now it's great, we can see each other day and night~"

Hearing this, Gan Baobao smiled and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? Day and night? If it really were day and night, I'm afraid you'd get tired of it!"

"How could that be? Mother, please don't wrong Ling'er!"

"Haha~ Mother is not joking. Your Uncle Qin and I will find another place to live. We will come to see you occasionally, so that we, as elders, won't be here to ruin your good fortune~"
