Chapter 546

The man looked like a recruit, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was dark, and he was exposed to the sun with some red light. He looked very simple and honest.

Sikou nianxi didn't speak. He nodded to him and was ready to leave. The man was busy and yelled, "don't hurry, little brother. How about talking with me?"

Si konian Xi turned to look at him and said with a smile, "I think you are younger than me. Why do you call me little brother instead?"

"Hey, hey..." The man scratched his head, looked at SIKO nianxi and said with a smile, "then I'll call you big brother? What's your last name? "

"My surname is Sikou." Si konian Xi thought for a while and added: "you don't need to call me big brother, you..." Si konian Xi originally wanted to find a suitable name, but after thinking for a while, he didn't come up with it. Can't he really call his own name? Sikou read Xi can only nod: "that as you."

The man said with a smile, "I'll call you brother Sikou in the future. My surname is Chen, and I have a single name."

Sikou nianxi nodded: "Chen Ming."

Sikou nianxi seldom deals with strangers. Chen Ming makes friends with her for no reason, which makes her a little uncomfortable. But she can't leave immediately. She can only chat with Chen Ming without saying a word.

After chatting, Sikou nianxi gets to know Chen Ming well. He thinks that Chen Ming is a wonderful person to get along with. He talks lively. Even if you don't speak, you can be amused by him. It's not embarrassing to talk with him.

The reason why Chen Ming came to chat up with sikounianxi was that he was too young and some soldiers around him didn't talk much to him. When he was sitting by the stream, he saw sikounianxi come to drink water. He thought they were the same age and sikounianxi looked friendly. So he came to talk to her.

Sikou nianxi frowned and asked, "is there no one your age?"

"Those who join the army are all young men who are 18 years old. I'm only 16 this year, so I'm a little younger than them. There are also those who are just over 18. Although they're only two years younger, the meaning is very different. So they all treat me as a child and are not willing to talk to me."

Si konian Xi said with a smile, "is that right? That's a coincidence. I'm seventeen this year. According to you, although I'm only one year behind, I can't cross this gap. If they treat us as children, they can only keep company with you and me. "

When Chen Ming heard that Yan was stunned, he burst out laughing. He reached out and patted Sikou nianxi on the shoulder, laughing happily: "brother Sikou."

Si konian Xi looked at his childish face and thought of something. Then he asked, "but after all, there are only 18-year-old men in the barracks. How did you get in when you were two years behind?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming lowered his hand and his eyes. He looked gloomy, as if he remembered something painful.

Si konian Xi just looked at him without blinking. After a long time, he said, "although my family has been a farmer for several generations, the jade pendant handed down by my ancestors is still valuable. I took it to the pawnshop to exchange a lot of silver, and secretly gave it to the master of the army who recruited me to join the army."

Sikou nianxi was shocked when he heard the speech. After looking around for a while, he leaned over, lowered his voice and said to Chen Ming, "you are crazy. Now the soldiers around you know that you are under 18. If someone shakes you out about your bribery, do you want to stay in the military camp?"

Chen Ming raised his head and gave a faint smile to Sikou nianxi. His eyes were neither frightened nor flustered. He said calmly, "thank you for your concern. Since my parents died, no one has cared about me so much. Sikou is right. In fact, I have been shaken out for a long time."

"Ah?" Sikou nianxi was even more surprised and looked at Chen Ming in a daze: "then how can you..."

Chen Ming smiles astringently: "I'm younger than my peers, and I'm only 16 years old. So I was seen the next day when I came to the military doctor. When I checked, I immediately found out the official who took bribes, and my affairs naturally came to light..."

When they saw that Chen Ming was young, they didn't embarrass him. They just told him to go home quickly. On the contrary, it was the military master who took bribes and was demoted.

Although they did not embarrass Chen Ming, Chen Ming said that he would not leave. When he asked him why, he only said that he wanted to avenge his parents and would never go back until he killed a few frontier soldiers.

It turns out that Chen Ming's family lived in a village at the junction of China and the frontier. Last time, general Shao fought with the frontier. After the defeat, the frontier bled the village in the border to vent his anger. Naturally, Chen Ming's family was not spared. Chen Ming's parents died miserably, leaving him alone to escape the killing because he went out to visit his relatives.

At a young age, he suffered from the loss of his parents. Overnight, a carefree young man became silent. His heart was filled with hatred for the frontier. He decided to join the army and kill several frontier soldiers to avenge his parents.

Chen Ming bowed his head and gave a bitter smile. Then he continued: "later, those military masters couldn't beat me, and they saw that I was really poor, so they wanted to keep me here. But since they had set the rules, they didn't want to violate them. After careful consideration, they reported the matter to Lord Leng and asked him to make up his mind."Sikou was stunned: "cold "Cold Lord?"

Chen Ming smiles: "yes, I'm flattered that a nobody like me has made such a fuss that it has shocked the cold Lord. But Leng Wang Ye is really a good man. After hearing about me, he didn't say anything. He just asked me if I really want to avenge my parents at any cost? Of course, I made a definite reply. He gave me a smile and agreed to stay. "

Sikou nianxi curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I can't see that Leng Shaoyuan is quite reasonable."

Chen Ming looked at her closely: "brother Sikou, what do you say?"

Si konian Xi quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "it's nothing. I just said that you're lucky. When you meet a prince who is still human, you can ignore your fault and agree to stay."

Chen Ming nodded and laughed sincerely: "yes, my luck is really good, and the Lord is really a good man, but..."

Chen Ming sighed: "it's just that I implicated the military master and made him suffer the board and be demoted."

"Well, how can you be to blame?" Si konianxi patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and comforted him: "it doesn't look like he's 18 years old. If he wasn't obsessed with money, how could he not have noticed this and risked so much to let you in? So ah, if you blame him, you can only blame him for being greedy. If you get punished, you should teach him a lesson. Since you give him money, there's nothing to feel guilty about, you know? "

Chen Ming took a confused look at Sikou nianxi, then nodded: "I see. Brother Sikou, thank you. You are a good man."
