Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Lu Gong was slightly stunned, then he smiled and nodded to show that he understood, and then he said no more. Lu Gong also understood that he had just said a few extra words, and if these words fell into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, they would definitely be identified as the existence of rebels.

The next morning, when the Lu family was still resting, Gao Yao had already gotten up early and called a soldier, and then asked him to go and inform the captain of the rebellion. If he could arrive as soon as possible, he might be able to gain considerable military merit. He went to inform them as fast as possible, while he covered Lu Gong and others and rushed to Pei County first.

After marching for a day and a night, they finally arrived at Pei County. Gao Yao and his group of soldiers were naturally questioned as to why they were here. The rules of the Qin army were very strict. If they acted arbitrarily without any orders, they would be punished at the least and beheaded at the worst.

In the Qin Dynasty, five families formed a group, two groups formed a deuce, ten deuces formed a li, ten li formed a pavilion, ten pavilions formed a township, ten townships formed a county, and ten counties formed a prefecture. The imperial power extended from the county to every household, and Liu Bang's position as the head of the Sishui Pavilion was actually of a high rank. It's just that many people are used to describing Liu Bang as a person of a very low rank. Basically, among the nine ranks, Liu Bang belonged to the seventh rank, and Gao Yao was now just a soldier of the ninth rank.

It's just because of the different power systems, and the fact that the army is the main force, so the so-called pavilion chief is not as good as a sergeant in the actual effect. After all, the other party holds the power of life and death, and the effect is different. Gao Yao has the task of collecting information about the rebels. If he encounters bandits on the road, he will deal with them and escort Lu Gong home. As long as he explains this simply, the local county magistrate will naturally not make things too difficult for Gao Yao and others, not to mention that the local county magistrate is still a friend of Lu Gong, so he naturally has to give him some face. Lu Gong, who returned to Pei County, was also relaxed a lot, but he still treated Gao Yao and others with courtesy, and prepared to entertain these dozen soldiers in his own mansion, and take some money and food before letting Gao Yao and others leave.

This was a life-saving favor. In this age where reputation is important, Lu Gong naturally knew that he could not repay kindness with enmity, otherwise his reputation would be ruined. So although there were some slight differences in ideas, it did not hinder Lu Gong's idea of ​​entertaining Gao Yao and others.

At this time, Liu Bang, or Liu Ji, was not the head of Sishui Pavilion. Liu Bang becoming the head of Sishui Pavilion was just a title of an official position at that time. At that time, Liu Bang was made the head of Sishui Pavilion because he was to escort people to Mount Li to build the imperial mausoleum. That's why there was such a position. Now Liu Bang is nothing more than a street rogue. At least in this world, Liu Bang is a complete street rogue.

After Gao Yao had a simple meal at Lu's mansion, he brought Erniu to the market and went straight to the famous Fan Kuai's shop in Pei County. Fan Kuai was born with brute force and extraordinary courage, otherwise he would not have been trusted by Liu Bang, achieved unprecedented achievements, and become one of the famous generals in the early Han Dynasty.

From a distance, Gao Yao had already seen a muscular, black-faced man chopping meat with a kitchen knife under a straw shed. Gao Yao did not hesitate to walk over.

"Hey, General, what would you like to eat? Just tell me and I'll cut it for you right away."

No matter how brave they were, they were all ordinary people. Seeing Gao Yao in his military uniform, they would naturally be a little afraid. After all, the treatment of soldiers in the Qin Dynasty was generally relatively high.

"Are you Fan Kuai?"

"That's right, may I ask what you want me to do?"

"Do you have the ambition to join the army?"

"Become a soldier? Sir, please don't joke with me. I am just a cook and a butcher. I am not qualified to be a soldier."

When Fan Kuai heard Gao Yao's words, he was a little slow to react at first. When he reacted, he quickly began to refuse. The benefits of being a soldier in the Qin Dynasty were good, but it was also very dangerous, and it was easy to be cursed by others. Although Fan Kuai was not very smart, he was not stupid, especially he loved face. If people around him knew that he was going to be a soldier, they would inevitably gossip about him behind his back. How could Fan Kuai accept such a thing?

"You bastard, my elder brother asked you to join the army, so you join the army. How can I treat you unfairly?"

Hearing Fan Kuai repeatedly rejecting Gao Yao's invitation, Erniu became somewhat reluctant. Erniu was now a die-hard fan of Gao Yao, and now that someone was so disrespectful to Gao Yao, Erniu was naturally dissatisfied.

However, facing Erniu's threat, Fan Kuai just glanced at him coldly and didn't take it seriously.

"Sir, I can't afford to offend you, but I really don't want to be a soldier. Why do you have to force me? Besides, there doesn't seem to be any notice of compulsory conscription now."

"you......"

"Okay, Erniu, don't mind it. Since Brother Fan Kuai has his own ideas, I naturally can't force him. I just want to remind Brother Fan Kuai that the world is in turmoil now. If you want to achieve success, you should make plans early. I can see that Brother Fan Kuai will definitely have a good future. He is a martial arts expert. It must not be difficult for him to achieve success on the battlefield. I have something here right now. If Brother Fan Kuai can do it well, he will definitely be rewarded and valued by the court. It depends on whether Brother Fan Kuai is willing to do it."

Gao Yao knew that if he could fool Fan Kuai with just a few words, then Fan Kuai would not be a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. However, Gao Yao was very familiar with the psychology of people of that era. The unification of the Qin Dynasty had not been a day or two. For former nobles of the Six Kingdoms like Lu Gong, they must have opposed the Qin Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. But it was not the case for people like Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai was born in a humble family and made a living by hunting and selling meat. He had no good opportunities at all. Although he had a lot of strength and natural martial arts, no matter what kind of soldier he was, he had to start from the grassroots level and accumulate experience. It would take at least a few years and at most more than ten years to achieve success. Under the strict promotion system of the Qin Dynasty, unless he could make meritorious services, his promotion would be very slow and there were many rules. Fan Kuai did not want to participate.

However, if there really was an opportunity for the other party to make achievements and directly get an official position above the rank of a sergeant, Fan Kuai was not a fool and would naturally consider it.

"Haha, it seems that Brother Fan Kuai is still a little hesitant. It's okay. I can still talk to the commander. I will be in Pei County these days. I also invited Brother Fan Kuai because I heard about his bravery. If Brother Fan Kuai changes his mind, you can come to me at any time."

"This...thank you, General!"
