After agreeing to Xiong Xinping's transfer, early the next morning.

An officer riding a tall horse came to Guanyimen, led Xiangyuan Wang Bai, and thirty Guanyimen disciples to the army camp outside Zhuyang City.

The garrison barracks were located on a wide field of flat land outside the city of Zhuyang, and were enclosed by a thick wooden fence.

followed the officer into the barracks, and swept a pair of tiger eyes to Xiang Yuan, taking in all corners of the barracks.

"I want you to be in charge of the night patrol in the city for the time being.

This is the armband and baton that you are equipped with.

The specific patrol tasks will be explained to you later.

You will stay in these barracks for the time being, and you can eat in the canteen on the left, and if you have any problems, you can come to me in the barracks with a red-edged cloth. ”

Xiang Yuan and his party were led to the door of the three barracks that were connected together, and after a little explanation, the officer explained a few words, and then drove the war horse under him and turned to leave.

After watching the officers leave, Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai beckoned the apprentices of the Guanmen Gate, and carried a basket of patrol armbands and guard sticks made of iron and wood into the barracks.

In the barracks made of wooden planks, the display is simple.

Except for the large bunks on both sides and the walkway in the middle, there was only a pile of musty bedding in the entire barracks.

"It's hard enough. ”

Waved his hand and fanned the tip of his nose, and the musty smell that ran into his nose as soon as he entered the room made Wang Bai frown, obviously not very satisfied with the environment here.

"The conditions here must not be compared with those in the door, so let's make do with it first.

Although I didn't say how many days it would take, according to Master's estimates, it wouldn't be more than a month at most. ”

Although I don't like the environment here very much, I can't turn around and go back because of the environment here, Xiang Yuan comforted Wang Bai.

Of the three barracks, Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai asked for one, and the remaining thirty were one disciple and fifteen people in each room.

Fortunately, although the environment of this barracks is not very good, it is better because of the large space, and it is not crowded at all with fifteen people in a room.

A group of people from Xiang Yuan here had just cleaned the room and laid out the futon, when a man with a sallow face, a little hunched back, and a military uniform knocked on the door and came to the barracks.

"Uh...... I...... I'm here to tell you about the night patrol. ”

As soon as the man entered the room, he saw a room full of sturdy men, and the man in the military uniform looked stunned, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

"Come in and talk about it. ”

Seeing the herald's frightened expression, Xiang Yuan chuckled twice, beckoned to the man, and motioned for him to come in.

"This, you must know your mission, which is to be responsible for the night patrol of Zhuyang. Entering the room, the man swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, moistened his throat, took a deep breath and began to explain: "Actually, this task is very simple.

There are four main streets in Zhuyang, each of which has fifteen long alleys and twenty short alleys, and the other bifurcated alleys are not counted.

Your task is to inspect the four main streets, the sixty long alleys, and the eighty short alleys.

The patrol time starts from the time of the year and ends at the time of the ugly.

Of course, if there is any special situation, it may still be in time.

This is the general outline of the patrol mission, and you can arrange the specific implementation yourself.

However, it is important to note that patrol missions can only be completed late, not early.

If it is found to be terminated early, it will be subject to serious military legal action. ”

After explaining the task of the night patrol, the man waited quietly.

Wait for Yuan to ask them questions, and then he will answer.

"What do you mean is that we are responsible for so many areas in total, specific groups and so on, and we can assign them freely, right?"

Probably hearing the man's meaning, Xiang Yuan nodded.

"Yes, the task of night patrols is not heavy. It's just because we really can't spare manpower that we ask you to help. ”

Nodding, the man replied.

"Then if we encounter any bandits, can we do it?"

The fist clenched, since the last time the bandits broke into Guanyi Gate and burned down several houses, Wang Bai hated bandits and the like!

Looking at Wang Bai's two arms that were about to catch up with his waist, the herald licked his dry lips and squeezed out a smile: "It's okay to do it, but it's best to use it for the purpose of uniform." ”

For fear that as soon as he said that he could do it, these big men would directly beat some thieves and thieves to death, and the herald bit the words in uniform!

"Okay, don't keep thinking about it.

Well, you go first.

We all know the general situation, and we've been patrolling since tonight, right? We'll leave on time. ”

Laughing and scolding Wang Bai, Xiang Yuan nodded at the herald, signaling that he could go.

The soldiers, who were stared at by a group of burly men and whose backs were soaked with sweat, hurriedly arched their hands, turned around and walked quickly out of the barracks.

"Uninteresting task. ”

After listening to the herald's explanation, knowing that this mission was just an ordinary patrol, Wang Bai was very bored.

"Forget it, this time the deputy lieutenant of Zhuyang personally came to borrow someone, no matter what, we will give him a face.

Rest first, and assemble at the barracks gate punctually after sunset. ”

Patting Wang Bai's arm, Xiang Yuan turned his head to the rest of the Guanyi disciples and instructed, although he had only been in the field for three years, he was later than most of the people here.

But Xiang Yuan's starting point was high, so he directly worshiped Yang Jing's disciple and was the same generation as Wang Bai.

And Xiang Yuan's own strength is also a very important ingredient.

Xiang Yuan, who is at the peak of Ming Jin, can also be regarded as a master of a number of masters, not a high-level person of Yang Jing's generation.

The disciples of Xiang Yuan Wang Bai's generation, except for the personal disciples of the sect master, that is, the senior brother of the Guanyi Sect, have not come back outside, and the remaining senior brothers are secretly saying that if they really start to fight and fight, they are very likely not to be Xiang Yuan's opponents.

Including the three disciples of the sect master, that giant bear big man Liu Huaishan!

Therefore, in Guanyimen, the weight of Xiang Yuan's words is still very heavy.

As soon as Xiang Yuan's voice fell, the thirty Guanyi disciples hurriedly nodded in response.

......

After a little rest, after lunch, Xiang Yuan Wang Bai and the disciples of Guan Yimen all consciously returned to the room to sleep.

Although patrolling is not a whole night job, after all, it is necessary to walk for several hours, and it is still very important for them to rest and stay energetic for their first patrol.

In the first barracks, Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai occupied half of the bed and fell asleep soundly.

Although Lian Jiazi has extraordinary strength, he is not an immortal after all.

You will be tired, you will be hungry, you will be uncomfortable.

Even if Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai are both masters at the peak of Ming Jin, their physical strength still has a limit.

In sleep, time flies.

When the bright red sunset had begun to appear in the sky outside, Xiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, as a person who has practiced martial arts for seventeen years, Xiang Yuan can already do very accurate control of time.

As soon as Xiang Yuan woke up here, Wang Bai also shook his neck and climbed up.

"This bed is too hard, and I slept so hard that my neck was stiff. ”

Walking out of the camp gate, two Guanyi disciples skillfully brought basins, water and towels for Xiangyuan Wang Bai to wash.

After washing, Wang Bai counted the number of people.

And let the people who pass through the gate put on the patrol armbands and take the guard batons, and when they have dinner and sunset, they will officially start this first patrol mission.

......

The sun sets, and the night is dark

After the sky darkened, the four main streets of Zhuyang were successively lit up, as the largest town within a radius of hundreds of miles, Zhuyang's nightlife was much grander than that of Guangling.

After the patrol began, Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai divided the four groups of thirty people through one gate, each patrolling the four main streets and the long and short alleys to which they belonged. And the two of them were randomly searched for in the city.

After dividing into groups, the four groups of people scattered and began to patrol their positions, while Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai each picked a street and patrolled.

With a bright red armband on his left arm, Xiang Yuan, who was tall and tall, walked on the street, and many people around him were holding attention.

Even many "night gentlemen" retreated in their hearts after seeing Xiang Yuan.

Xiang Yuan's figure, wearing the identity of patrolling, is too deterrent.

Xiang Yuan, who was walking on the street with his hands in his hands, saw many hesitant people with a pair of indifferent tiger eyes.

It's just that he is too lazy to do much, their task is only to patrol, and there is no need to do more for these people who have not really committed crimes.

As time passed, the flow of people on the streets became less and less, and this era was still not as bright as the lights of the metropolis in Xiangyuan's previous life.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening, that is, after midnight.

The people on the street were almost gone, except for a few scattered vendors, still waiting for the last customer.

"Senior Brother Xiang, neither West Street nor South Street has found the situation. ”

trotted to Xiang Yuan's side, and a Guan Sect disciple reported to Xiang Yuan softly.

Because there were a total of thirty people coming to Guan Yimen this time, divided into four groups, there were two groups of eight people, and two groups of seven people.

So Xiang Yuan and Wang Bai chose two streets, Xiang Yuan was in charge of West Street and South Street, and one of the eight people in the group was responsible for reporting the situation to Xiang Yuan, and Wang Bai's group was the same.

"Well, let the big guy pay attention to safety, and come here in time for anything else. ”

Nodding his head and letting the reported disciple go back, Xiang Yuan simply sat under the old tree at the gate of the Nanjie Gushan Restaurant.

This is the location of the intersection of South Street and West Street, if there is anything, the disciple who reported it can rush here as soon as possible to inform him.

Seeing that the time was gradually approaching midnight, the streets of the entire Zhuyang were empty, and even the Gushan Restaurant next to Xiang Yuan was closed half an hour ago.

The moonlight like silver frost fell on the ground, making the somewhat dark city a little brighter.

Leaning against the old tree behind him with his hands on his chest, Xiang Yuan's eyes were half-closed.

As a big city, Zhuyang has always had good public security, and there are very few things like stealing chickens and dogs, so Xiang Yuan also took this night patrol mission very lightly.

After all, the fellow disciples who came out this time had a bit of kung fu in their hands, and the ordinary three or two hairy thieves would not be their opponents at all, so he was not worried about any accidents.
