李毅郑重地点头，伸手扶起那跪地之人。

“我从未忘记尔等赤胆忠心。相信我，定会让王家军旗再度飘扬，让尔等重见天日！”

在那人的引领下，李毅一行人踏入村落深处。只见村中聚集著不少精壮男子，虽身形挺拔仍带著军旅之气，却大多身上带伤——有的缺了胳膊，有的少了腿，有的脸上留著狰狞的伤疤，仿佛在无声诉说著曾经惨烈的战事。

陈刚环视四周，不禁面露失望之色，低声道：“殿下，这些残兵败將，恐怕难当大用。老的老，残的残，如何上阵杀敌？”

李毅却眼中精光闪烁，摇头道：“你错了。这些人不是残兵，而是孤寻得的宝藏。”

他缓缓扫过每一张歷经风霜的脸庞，“特別是现在，孤最缺的不是士兵，而是能练兵的將才。他们身经百战，每一个伤疤都是一堂血泪教训。有他们相助，何愁练不出精兵？”

他仔细打量著这些曾经的王家军將士，仿佛在端详一件件歷经战火淬炼的珍宝。

李毅缓步走到一位失去右臂的老兵面前，目光中带著敬意问道：“这些年来，你们以何为生？”

老兵恭敬地躬身回答：“回殿下，我们白日里耕作自给，到了夜晚...偶尔会下山『借』些恶贼的不义之財，分给周边穷苦百姓。”

他说得含蓄，但眾人都明白这“借”字的含义。

李毅微微頷首，眼中闪过讚许之色，继而问道：“你们的武艺可曾荒废？”

旁边一个拄著拐杖的瘸腿汉子朗声笑道：“殿下，我们虽然身子残了，但手上的功夫从没放下。要不，给您演示演示？”他眼中闪烁著期待的光芒。

李毅见这些老兵个个跃跃欲试，不忍拒绝，便欣然应允：“好，让我看看王家军的威风。”

令人惊嘆的是，这些残兵虽然身体各有不便，但一招一式间尽显精湛武艺。

老者单手持枪，依然虎虎生风；瘸腿汉子虽行动不便，却將一柄大刀舞得密不透风。更难得的是他们之间的配合默契，攻守之间浑然一体，显然经常操练。

最让李毅惊讶的是，他们似乎还完整保持著军队的编制和纪律，令行禁止，丝毫不乱。

赵晓悄声对李毅道：“殿下，这些人若是好好整编，或许真能成为一股不可小覷的力量。”

陈刚明白了，这些老兵不可轻视：“殿下，只是这些人毕竟是戴罪之身，若是被人发现您与他们有牵连...”

李毅摆手打断他：“王家是否真的有罪，尚未可知。即便有罪，也与这些士兵无关，孤只要他们不伤天害理，孤就能保全他们。”

他转向眾人，目光扫过一张张饱经风霜的脸庞，朗声道：“你们可愿继续效忠朝廷？”

一个满脸刀疤的汉子率先冷笑出声，声音里带著压抑多年的愤懣：“朝廷？朝廷害得我们家破人亡，妻离子散，如今还要我们效忠？真是天大的笑话！”

领他们进来的那人立即高声反驳：“住口！殿下与那些昏聵之人不同！你们可知道，殿下是先皇后唯一的血脉，而先皇后，正是我们王家的大小姐！从血脉上说，殿下身上也流淌著一半王家的血！”

先皇后？那位的女儿？这句话如同投入平静湖面的巨石，在眾人心中激起千层浪。
