On the street in front of Huangzhou City, several local gentry were watching the streets blowing and beating together. A big team passed by in a grand manner.

"Hey, this groom has seen you every day recently, and today I am still one-eyed." Boss Wang, who was a pioneer in the mountain goods store, said to several companions with a smile.

Boss Zhao, who runs a grocery shop next to him, hurriedly said, "I just got promoted to the Qianzheng General, the sixth-rank martial arts rank, and was also appointed as the chief lieutenant." The boss said this, lowered his voice and said in a show-off, "It is said that this one-eyed man was the leader of Lao Huihui in the fifth camp of the Lezuo. Later, he followed Lao Huihui's brothers to fight the Tiger Head Castle. After being captured, he finally entered the Marquis' camp and fought bravely. It is said that he had killed many bandits in Sichuan."

"Ah? A bandit actually became a sixth-rank military officer. What kind of world is this? By the way, what is the title of the chief lieutenant? Why haven't I heard of this official title before?"

The owner of the grocery store smiled and said, "You have less knowledge? You are usually too stingy. The lottery is 5 cents a piece, which is several large pages. There are no such things as the whole country, east and west. You can only spend 30 cents a month, and you can buy six periods in total. This commander is a military rank created by the imperial military department. Didn't you start reorganizing the new army last year? It's still the beginning of our marquis. When the court saw that the new army could fight, he would reorganize the troops from all over the country."

"After all the time, the new army of thirty-six towns were reorganized. The original military officers were all assigned to guard offices, one military post, one military post and one military post, and one military rank, which was too complicated. For example, this one-eyed, he was the Qianzheng General, which is the position of the various army recruiting troops. It turned out that these military posts were generally of no rank and had to be assigned to guard offices. His Qianzheng General was usually assigned to guard offices, and they were all sixth-rank."

The grocery store owner also read a lot of books when he was young, but unfortunately he didn't even pass the exam. Since Hubei got this lottery newspaper, he has been a must-buy every issue. At first, he was fascinated by buying a fortune coupon, so he ordered the lottery newspaper to make it easier to read the lottery number. Later, the lottery coupon was always failed. He lost that feeling, but he insisted on ordering this lottery newspaper.

Usually he likes to read this newspaper and likes to read all kinds of things on it. When he is free, he learns and sells things he sees in the newspaper when he is chatting with others. This has attracted many people's attention and greatly satisfied him. Just like today, he can also speak very well about the military ranks of the court.

"But when the new army was reorganized, the court was also rectifying the garrison. It is said that the garrison was also abolished. Therefore, the Ministry of War created another military rank to replace the official position of this garrison."

"Isn't there another martial arts rank?"

"The martial arts ranks are nine ranks and dozens of ranks, which are extremely complicated. How can this rank be clear? The newly introduced ranks of the imperial court include both officers and soldiers. The officers are divided into three levels, including generals, military academy and commander ranks. The commander and the military academy have three levels, and the general has five levels. For example, our marquis is the highest general in the general rank, and there are four generals in front, back, left and right below. The military academy and the commander have three levels. It is said that there are six levels below, including non-officials and non-soldiers, all of which are the ranks of company commanders and staff, while the soldiers have privates, first, second, and third levels, and the top five types."

Many people are envious of this one-eyed good luck. When a bandit is finally treated as a sixth-rank military officer, he is not young anymore and can still marry a young bride.

"Which family did you marry? No one is really this? How could I marry my daughter to such a bandit who has been blind and is still young?" Wang Sanyi, who was selling cooked food opposite, said with a jealous look on his face.

"You know, you know. Although this one-eyed person is blind, he has been a bandit. But he is the commander of the commander Qian, and he has a long-term prospect after following the Marquis. It is said that this man is still very rich. Last year, he first followed the Marquis to conquer the Left Five Camp, and then went to the sea to fight the Red Barbarians. When he came back, he had a large handful of silver coupons in his arms, and he could exchange thousands of taels of silver in the bank at any time. Now, the bride is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family who is a dilapidated family in Shilitang outside the city. This year, he was only sixteen. He didn't dare to come to propose marriage because his father asked for too many brides. This time someone was a mediator for One-eyed person, and One-eyed person fell in love with the daughter of the Zhang family. Old Zhang asked for ten taels of silver, but One-eyed person gave two hundred silver dollars. Old Zhang was so happy that he couldn't stop and agreed directly."

"Two hundred silver dollars? Is this one-eyed person stupid? He wants ten taels to give two hundred."

"I don't have money or anything. Think about it, he is a general of the Qianlong and a sixth-rank military officer, but he still has money? Look at our Huangzhou recently. Since the Marquis led his troops to triumph, there were no 100 married people on that day. They were all nine-headed birds. They used to be poor people in the mountains, but now they all have bulging pockets."

A restaurant clerk next to him also took the time to watch the fun and stood on the side and said sourly, "There are a few stinky money these Qiu Bas, but it turns out that we say that family marriage is enough for five or six taels of silver. But now those Qiu Bas are looking for women to marry, and the bride is also growing. Now there is no twenty taels of silver, so you don't even want to go to the girl's house to propose marriage." He originally raised three taels of silver, planning to save another year, and by the end of the year, he could almost find someone to go to the girl's house in the neighboring village he liked to propose marriage.

As a result, a few days ago, a boy from the river next door came back from Guangdong. He was also a nine-headed bird and directly used eighteen taels of silver to marry the girl he liked.

The boss of the Shancai Store shook his head and cursed with a smile, "You stupid guy, you join the army too, you don't have the courage." He continued, "Actually, you don't have to be afraid. I think it's really good to be a soldier among these nine-headed birds. You see, they have recruited so many soldiers and fought many battles, but a few more died."

"A good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not join the army." The restaurant staff wanted to go, but there was a widowed mother who wanted to take care of her at home, so she really couldn't do it.

"How come these nine-headed birds got married so quickly? They just got married there and they were welcomed here."

"Don't you know this?" The owner of the grocery store suddenly became shocked again. "The court has issued an edict to start working with the Tartars. It has issued an order to transfer the Governor Sun of Shaanxi, the Qin Madam in Sichuan, and our Huguang Nationality. We have to go out before the first day of the fifth month. Of course, these nine-headed birds want to get married as soon as possible. If there is really a chance, maybe there will be a later one."

"Ah, we're going to fight again?"

"What are you afraid of? With our marquis going into battle, the Tartars will be defeated."

A house in the east of Huangzhou City is decorated with lights and guests are full of guests. One-eyed old trees bloom, and a young bride is getting started. A man who was once destroyed and forced to become a bandit has ushered in his second spring in his life. He followed the Marquis and got promoted and got rich and married, and his life is nourishing again.

"Congratulations!" The guests in the house were all colleagues and brothers in the camp. He had no other relatives, and all the relatives in his hometown were dead. But he finally had a home, a new home.

Qi Duyan no longer remembers how many cups he drank, and his steps were a little weak. "Everyone drinks together, it's a great time to drink."

"Old Qi, drink less, don't even get the bed even if you enter the bridal chamber later." Zhang Guozhu said loudly at Qi's one-eyed eyes.

Liu Duyan poured a glass of wine and walked to Zhang Guozhu. "I'll toast you this cup. If it weren't for Lord Zhang, I would have died long ago. I don't know where it was a pile of rotten roots. You saved my life at the beginning, and later recruited me from the prisoner camp and guaranteed me. I, Lao Qi, said nothing else, everything is in this cup of wine. I will do it first." Qi Duyan raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

Zhang Guozhu smiled and patted Qi Yi's one-eyed eyes. "What are you saying about this? Today I just want to say that Ergou didn't see the wrong person at the beginning. You are a man. I wish you a long life together and remember to cherish this happy day."

Qi One-eyed nodded solemnly. "I One-eyed will not forget Ergou Brother, nor will I forget the Marquis who has recreated me. Without you, there would be no me. My life is the Nine-Headed Bird in this life. People who live as the Nine-Headed Bird. Death is the Nine-Headed Bird's ghost."

A group of nine-headed officers raised their glasses together, "Nine-headed bird, brother!"

Qi raised his glass with one eye, "Nine-headed bird, brother!"

The wedding banquet is very popular, and no relatives are present, but brothers celebrate. They get married in the church and walk into the bridal chamber. On the wedding night, the dead trees are spring again.

Early in the morning, Qi woke up with one eye and found that his young wife was lying in his arms, looking at him with gentle eyes.

"morning!"

"Husband is early." The little wife hurriedly avoided her gaze and stood up, "I'll cook for my husband."

"It doesn't have to work so hard. If you don't have elders at home, you can sleep more." Qi Yuan said tenderly with his wife.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Qi Yiyan bought the maid hired together in the house and said outside, "Master, a military chief came over and said he had something to report."

Qi had one eye dressed. When he arrived at the hall, a soldier in a blue military uniform was waiting there, and immediately stood at the verge of salute when he saw him.

"Report to the commander, the army ordered that all officers and soldiers immediately return to the camp."

Qi Du's eyes were shocked, and he was a little reluctant, but he quickly cheered up, "Qi Yuan received it and returned to the camp immediately!"

Farewell to the soldiers of the order, he returned to the house, and his little wife was already in front of the dressing table. He hugged his wife from behind, "There is orders in the army, I must return to Jian immediately and can't accompany you."

The woman in the new work, the woman was slightly shocked and lowered her head.

"Are you leaving today? Can't you stay for a few more days?"

"Military orders are like mountains."

Yiyi bid farewell, Qi Oneyan resolutely turned around and walked out of the house with a package.

In the military camp outside Huangzhou City, Qi Yiyan arrived in military uniform and handed over the waist card to the camp gate guards to check it. After returning to his camp, he first arrived at his boss Zhang Guozhu's account and reported loudly, "Master Qian Qiyuan met with the Lord."

"You called you back the next day of your wedding. I'm so embarrassed, but after the order of the Marquis, our generals will be the first batch of Liao troops to conquer Liao. Time is tight, and the troops to be sent to the expedition must be reorganized, so I can only call you over immediately." Zhang Guozhu said to him with apologies.

"Observing orders is the duty of the Nine-Headed Warrior!"

"Very good, this is your order. From now on, my battalion, I, and our battalion, will be under the First Battle Brigade of the First Phase of the Eastern Expedition Army."

"Yes!" Qi Yiyan replied loudly. (To be continued...)
