Chapter 38
Seeing that Dou Tu refused to surrender, suddenly Hong raised his eyebrows and stepped forward with murderous intent to get rid of him, but Lin Zhihuang stretched out his hand to stop him.
This man was astute. When Lin Zhihuang saw his previous reaction, it seemed that Lu Qianhu was the leader of this army, but in fact, the people in this army may be more convinced by this man named Dou Tu. Lin Zhihuang was almost
Citu saw some bandit soldiers in the army secretly sizing him up, obviously using him as a guide to determine whether Lu Qianhu's orders were carried out.
Suddenly Hong stepped forward and attacked suddenly. Dou Tu reacted quickly and even warned Lu Qianhu not to take the knife. He was an alert and talented person with good qualities in all aspects. It was a pity that he died like this.
Lin Zhihuang also saw that among this bandit army, unlike Lu Qianhu, Dou Tu had soldiers who truly believed in him. Although conquering this bandit army was now a foregone conclusion, he insisted on killing him.
There may be changes.
Lin Zhihuang finally confirmed to him: "Dou Tu, won't you put down your weapon?"
There was a slight light in Dou Tu's stagnant eyes: "Do you remember my slave's name?"
"Remember." Lin Zhihuang replied affirmatively.
Dou Tu nodded numbly and did not make any other attack moves. He continued to talk to himself: "Actually, I am chasing you here, I just want to ask you a question. Anyway, I am going to die. Can you help me clear up my doubts?"
Dou Tu's eyes were shining with persistence. Lin Zhihuang was a little surprised. He had no contact with Dou Tu. What problems did he have to solve by himself?
"What's the problem?"
"You didn't step on the slave to mount the horse, but you felt that the slave was of low status and not even worthy of being your horse stool?" When the taciturn Dou Tu asked this question, his eyes filled with tears, and he was obviously very uneasy in his heart.
Is what Lu Qianhu said true? Do they, the masters, really think of him like this? Are his efforts really a joke?
Dou Tu used to be a child of a family of military generals. Later, he was convicted of selling private iron. All the men in the family over the age of twelve were executed, and all the boys and women under the age of twelve were reduced to official slaves. He had just turned ten at the time.
, so he escaped and lived in the Lin Mansion. From then on, he worked as a horse slave in the Lin Mansion for thirteen years.
The transition from noble to humble made him work extra hard and care about other people's evaluations. He hopes that through his own efforts, his abilities will become stronger, so that he will be appreciated by his master, and he is eager to change his background again.
Lin Zhihuang was moved by this question. This is a person who is striving to seek self-worth.
"No!" Lin Zhihuang looked at him seriously and said: "When you walked out of the horse slaves, I saw a light in your eyes that was unwilling to be ordinary. You are a person who stands upright and I can't bear to use you as a horse stool, so
Not stepped on."
"Aren't you willing to be ordinary? It turns out that's how I look in my eyes, haha!" Dou Tu cried and laughed: "A person who is upright and upright? It turns out that's how you look at me. I'm satisfied. Thank you for not stepping on me."
Dou Tu smiled, his smile was contented and simple, he closed his eyes, dropped the blade in his hand, and poked at his neck.
Lin Zhihuang was moved when he saw Dou Tu preparing to die. He also admired his integrity more and more. He was in a humble position, but his character was noble and his faith was higher than life and death. Why not give him another chance?
Lin Zhihuang's eyes flashed with admiration, and he asked loudly: "Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
Dou Tu did not wait for the expected death, but instead waited for a solemn inquiry.
The sentence "Will you be loyal to me?" is not an order to the servant, but a respectful inquiry. This is the attitude towards a scholar.
Dou Tu opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the lady in front of him who was dressed as a man but was no less elegant than a man. His stagnant eyes shone with the light of rebirth.
"Yes!" Dou Tu solemnly knelt down on one knee, clenched his left fist on his chest, and gave Lin Zhihuang a sergeant salute worthy of a military commander.
Dou Tu was moved to tears.
Lin Zhihuang regarded him as a scholar! A scholar will die for his confidant!
At this moment, he is no longer a slave, but a scholar. A scholar recognized by his master!
What about women? Whoever treats him with the courtesy of a scholar will treat him as his master throughout his life.
A convoy of horse-drawn carriages was guarded by more than a thousand soldiers and drove slowly on the road.
Wang Ti was still frightened by the dangerous situation just now, and he couldn't calm down. He got into the carriage again in a daze and headed towards Kuzhou.
The bandits who had hacked them to death an hour ago were actually the guards of their group now? Wang Ti's eyes widened, thinking that he might still be dreaming, he must not have woken up in the morning! Thinking like this
, Wang Ti slapped his face hard.
Feeling the pain on his face, Wang Ti was dumbfounded. Wen Nannan, who was sitting aside, had become accustomed to Wang Ti's nervous behavior and asked quietly: "What's wrong?"
"With just a few words, he narrowly escaped death! He also subdued a thousand strong young soldiers! His mouth is so powerful!" Wang Ti swallowed his saliva in fear.
Wen Nanfang's eyes showed appreciation: "So, I didn't see the wrong person."
That's not just a matter of a few words.
Those very inflammatory words contained supreme wisdom and scheming, as well as courage beyond the reach of ordinary people. Without any of them, it would be impossible to conquer these thousand soldiers.
Although Lin Xiaolangjun is young, he is full of magnanimity, broad-mindedness, and skill. He should have a place in these troubled times.
"Junior brother, do you think it's too late for me to please him now?" Wang Ti grabbed Wen Nanfang's hand, with panic in his eyes and tears splashing everywhere.
