CHAPTER XXV

Hanshan Iron Cavalry, thirty years ago, can be called the iron wall of the Great Heng Kingdom, the men in the Great Heng Country, all of them are proud of entering the Cold Mountain Iron Cavalry Army, but overnight, the situation has changed abruptly, the Cold Mountain Iron Cavalry is defeated like a mountain, and the reason for the defeat is that the boss is greedy for merit.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was in charge of the army at the time, sat in charge of the crisis and turned the tide, coupled with the help of Feng Ruici, the squire of the military department at that time, and the king of law took the initiative to lend his fiefdom to the king of Bingqin, so that the Northern Yan army stopped at the country.

After the Great War, merit and punishment were rewarded.

Feng Ruici was promoted to the secretary of the military department, and King Lu received many rewards.

And Liu Jiyi, his family members were all assigned to the ice and snow land in northern Xinjiang, but in just one year, he died of illness one after another because he did not adapt to the local water and soil climate.

From then on, the Cold Mountain Iron Cavalry was abolished, and all soldiers were disorganized into different armies.

Thirty years ago, a stumbling and almost ruining war made the countries in the four seas dare not talk lightly about the sword soldiers, Hengguo and Yan signed an armistice and peace treaty, although there was no less trouble on the border in peacetime, but in the end it will be defined as the border people of the two countries, because of small things, small frictions.

The northwest border is still peaceful, because there is more Xia Kingdom, if Heng and Yan fight seriously, I am afraid that it is the Xia people who specialize in selling weapons to various countries that are happy.

Feng Ge felt upset when he thought of Xia Guo, obviously selling weapons, but claiming that what they were selling was not a murder weapon that could kill people and destroy the country, but justice and peace, love and friendship.

The truth is also what they say, everyone has an invincible weapon in their hands, and no one dares to fight anyone, but there will be peace.

Those profiteers are more pure than those merchants in Dongning Kingdom.

This Xiao Yanran's identity is not as simple as he said.

If it was just an ordinary Zhiguo lieutenant, who worked as a horse servant in the Hanshan Iron Cavalry when he was a child, how could he get the ability to make these old Hanshan subordinates obedient.

However, since he didn't reveal his identity, he didn't have to be aggressive, and when he got along well in the future, it was not too late to listen to the truth.

The candle in the tent formed a large lantern flower, and it burst gently, and the tent instantly became brighter, Feng Ge remembered the situation in the Beixuan camp, and couldn't help asking: "Why is this Guancheng chaotic like this, no one cares about it at all." ”

"You're right, it's just that no one cares, the coach Gui Dexing, said that the conditions here are too poor, he lives in the palace of the king of law all day, and he doesn't come to Guancheng once for ten days and half a month, and he still practices seriously every day at the beginning, and later, the people in charge of military discipline are all bedridden, who cares about this matter anymore. ”

Feng Ge's eyes widened: "You guys are at the border, so casual, aren't you afraid that one day Yan Guo or Xia Guo will call?"

"Don't look at them now, but if someone runs behind their butts, they're afraid they'll be faster than flying. Don't look at the wrong posture of wielding knives and guns now, the posture of kneeling and surrendering when the time comes, must be particularly standard. ”

When Xiao Yanran said these words, although it was ridicule and ridicule, his voice was full of sadness, the boss above did not act, he was a small general, what could he do.

"Then you can't let people enter and leave the barracks casually, it's me who is in now, what should I do if it's the enemy who sneaks in one day? Feng Ge was deeply worried about their lives.

"Hehe, I can't control it, Gui Dexing said, we are at the border, we must be more tolerant, so as not to have disputes with other countries, attract soldiers, and cause the lives of the people in the country to be ruined. ”

There is such a brazen statement! Feng Ge is really eye-opening.

"Those Beiyan people just now, the soldiers and horses came so fast, and the formation was also very unusual, this matter is not ordinary. Feng Ge remembered the cold light of the Beiyan infantry array just now, when they drew their swords out of their sheaths, as if they were about to start a real war between the two countries.

I'm afraid that the few soldiers who went out to catch foxes didn't inadvertently enter the border of Beiyan.

"You three stay here until dawn, and I'll send you back. Xiao Yanran stood up and walked out of the tent.

Feng Ge asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and interrogate the spies. ”

"I want to go too. Feng Ge looked at him with blank eyes.

Xiao Yanran frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"As a witness, I was brought out by them, so it's okay to be a tainted witness. ”

Looking at her determined appearance, Xiao Yanran nodded: "It's okay, the three of you go back to the camp to be watched by everyone, and it's not appropriate to leave silently." ”

Captain Cong Qipinyi, who should be in charge of military discipline seriously, didn't bother to care about this matter at all, and was still sleeping.

Xiao Yanran, the captain of Zhiguo of Zhengqipin, is in charge, although it is said that the official is a senior and crushes people to death, but the responsibilities in the army have always been clear, and it is probably only in a place like Beixuanying where military discipline has been lax for a long time that there will be such a strange news.

Since they are witnesses, Feng Ge and the others have to kneel under the hall, fortunately, they just kneel aside, not to anyone, Feng Ge comforted himself, even if it is his father, when he goes to the altar to worship the handsome, he has to really kneel and worship, and after worshipping, he can only sit aside on the handsome altar, and kneeling in the military tent is not a loss of dignity.

Xiao Yanran sat in the military tent, the sergeants on both sides stood straight, Feng Ge didn't remember their appearances, but, looking at this momentum, he also knew that it should be the old Hanshan Iron Cavalry Department that went out with Xiao Yanran to find people.

Compared to the others in the Beixuan camp, they were really a breath of fresh air.

I just don't know how long they can hold on to this clear stream.

The five men were tied up and sturdy, and they knelt on the ground, their heads like pounded garlic, and their mouths cried out for the general's mercy.

Xiao Yanran looked at them and asked, "Zhang An, how do you know that there is a sand fox there?"

Because that open land is the border, the drill will never go there, and it is really desolate, the soldiers sneaked out to relieve their boredom, they all changed their clothes and disguises, and went to Fengxian County to eat and drink, see the world of flowers, and never run to that ghost place.

"Yes...... It's what people say. ”

"Who?"

"I don't know, we just once saw someone sneak back in the middle of the night with a few sand foxes that were killed, saying that they would go to Feng County to exchange money at dawn, and a piece of sand fox skin can be exchanged for 500 yuan, so we were moved. ”

"See that person again, can you still recognize it?"

"It was too dark, so I said a few words, and he left, and we didn't ask much, and we didn't see his face clearly, but I remember that he was quite tall, and by the way, he spoke in a very special voice, which I could imitate. ”

As he spoke, the soldier named Zhang An cleared his throat, and his voice became much clearer: "This sand fox, in Feng County, can be sold for five hundred yuan." Even the tone of greed, the meaning of temptation, are imitated to the full.

Feng Ge thought to himself, this is really a talent.

Xiao Yanran nodded and instructed the soldiers standing on the side: "Now, call up everyone in the camp and let them say this sentence again." ”

Just handed over the fourth watch, this is the darkest hour before dawn, the soldiers of the camp are sleeping soundly, they have been too peaceful for too long, and live a happy life of sleeping happily until they wake up naturally every day.

Now this happy life was shattered by an earth-shattering drum beat, and the drum corresponded, and the dense drum beat was like the sound of galloping horses' hooves on the ground.

"What is this sound?" There were even people in the battalion who didn't know what the drum meant.

They got up from their soft beds, put on their clothes, and lazily scattered out of the tent, looking around: "Who, what the hell are you knocking on three watches in the middle of the night?" ”

"That's it, I don't let people sleep. ”

When all the soldiers came out of the camp, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Everyone, stand in line." ”

The one who spoke was a Shifu commander, who was considered the most junior officer in the battalion, but in the Beixuan Battalion, this kind of junior officer had no real power, so no one regarded them as officers all along.

Someone was dissatisfied: "What are you standing on, if you have something to say, you have to go back to sleep after you finish speaking." ”

"Who is speaking!" Xiao Yanran's voice came down from the high point of the platform.

As soon as the soldiers around the man heard that it was Captain Zhiguo who spoke, they hurriedly stayed away from him, and he was the only one standing alone in the middle.

"If you commit the following offenses, you will not obey the order and cut it. Xiao Yanran's voice was not loud, but it exploded in everyone's hearts.

Everyone thought that Xiao Yanran was just talking casually, but they didn't expect that two people really came over and dragged that person down.

I only heard the man shouting and begging for mercy in the back and a low voice, then a struggle, he seemed to want to run, and then the sound of being pressed to the ground.

After a while, a bloody human head was picked up and placed on the ground in front of the pointer's platform.

These Taiping soldiers, who had never seen blood, saw murder for the first time, and moreover, they were their own people.

The entire barracks was silent, and the sound of Xiao Yanran tapping her fingers on the wooden guardrail on the platform was clearly audible: "Let's start." ”

Shifu shouted: "Now, starting with the first row, the person on the far left, everyone will say again, 'This sand fox, in Feng County, can be sold for 500 yuan.'" The first row is finished, the second row continues, and now begins. ”

All the soldiers didn't understand what it was going to do, but the bloody head of the dead man was still in front of him, and he understood that he had to carry it out, and if he didn't understand it, he had to do it.

Zhang An didn't react until the last person finished speaking, and he shook his head: "That person is not in the team." ”

And so it was. Xiao Yanran nodded, he looked at the silent soldiers in the audience, and said loudly: "Recently, there have been spies in the camp, from now on, the guards must strictly abide by the law, enter and exit to check the waist card, no one is allowed to leave the camp without an order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!

Xiao Yanran turned to leave, Feng Ge and Lin Xiangyu were waiting in the tent, as soon as the tent door moved, Guan Linsen's figure came in from outside the tent, still standing behind Feng Ge.

"There is hard work, has it hurt you?" From just now to now, Xiao Yanran's face finally showed a smile.

The army is neutral and powerful, and it has always been forbidden by orders, Xiao Yanran knows that these soldiers are usually very casual, to say that the fierce resistance is not enough, every time I look at their half-dead and lazy appearance, it is really annoying.

But the law is not the rule of the people, and everyone can't be punished in one go, therefore, before the drumming gathering, Feng Ge proposed to "kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey", originally Lin Xiangyu wanted to play the chicken, deliberately provoked trouble, and gave Xiao Yanran a reason to punish.

was rejected by Feng Ge: "Your arrogance is not arrogant enough, let's go to Guan Linsen." ”

"He?usually he can't let out a fart ...... after hitting three sticks" Speaking of this, Lin Xiangyu suddenly shut up, and he remembered the long echo on the vast Gobi.

"Do you have any opinions?" Feng Ge asked Guan Linsen, "Do you violate your work regulations?"

Guan Linsen shook his head.

"Look, he's so wooden, how can he act like that. Lin Xiangyu, who has a special desire to perform, is unwilling to be snatched away from the role, and he picks a thorn in the face.

"Are you okay?" Feng Ge was also a little worried, his father said that there is no need to be suspicious, and there is no suspicion in employing people, although this is just a trivial matter, but if it is done badly, it will be quite embarrassing.

Guan Linsen's expression suddenly became vivid, as if the ice on the surface of the glacier had been smashed open, revealing the endless river below, the corners of his mouth were full of arrogance, his eyes were full of disdain, he tilted his head and stalked his neck, and spit out a sentence in his mouth: "Where did the eight lambs dare to say the right and wrong of Lao Tzu!"

Even Feng Ge had never seen Guan Linsen like this, Feng Ge knew that Guan Linsen was very powerful, but he never thought that he was so powerful, and he showed his disobedience vividly.

Lin Xiangyu sighed to himself, the literati have been doing it for a long time, and it is still very difficult to hold back like this.

Of course, he was not idle, and in a very short time, he rubbed his head with mud, cut it into hair with black cloth, and finally poured a scoop of pig's blood. From a distance, it can almost be fake.

Feng Ge praised: "It's really good. ”

"Of course, I have received so many dolls, I dare not say how fine it is, at least I can't see it at any glance, and after a while, I will practice again, and I will ensure that I can't see the truth in front of me. ”

Feng Ge smiled: "Then you can also install a mechanism, you can run, you can walk, you can serve tea and pour water, better." ”

Unexpectedly, this unintentional sentence really made Lin Xiangyu remember it in his heart.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Feng Ge was worried about Jin Huang's safety, Xiao Yanran ordered someone to find the captain of the first team who went to search the deserted village, he was wrapped in bandages, and he was about to salute after entering the account, Xiao Yanran raised his hand and said, "Who did you meet in the deserted village?"

"We first saw a woman, walking around the village, asked who she was, she didn't answer, she hit her, and injured many of us, and her brother thought that she was not a spy, so he released an arrow, shot her in the leg, and wanted to catch her back and slowly interrogate, but I didn't expect that the chick could still run. ”

"We followed her around a corner, and we heard the sound of horses' hooves, which were running so fast that they could see a shadow in the distance, and then there was no shadow at all. ”

Xiao Yanran nodded: "She hit you with this injury?"

The man nodded shamefully, not thinking that it was an honorable thing to be beaten like this by a woman.

"Go down and recuperate. ”

The air in the tent seemed to freeze, Feng Ge felt quite embarrassed, Jin Huang was really ......

"If you find her back, you must make her make amends to the soldiers. Feng Ge rubbed the corners of his clothes uneasily, "I'll pay for their medical expenses." ”
