The northern foot of Qingfeng Village, the mountain is majestic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A huge basin is concave in the middle, forming a plain with a radius of several miles. The plains are full of water and grass, like herdsmen's tent-like camp tents, scattered on the plains like stars.
"Here, it is the Beizhai that belongs to the jurisdiction of Ding Zhiqiu and Kenaqi." Dumb took Jiang to leave Yulin Peak, pointed out to Jiang Li and Xiaoxiang from afar, and the three of them went all the way to Beizhai Daying.
Turning the mountain road, I saw Qiu Da and Qiushuang from a distance, and the man in gray was waiting in a mountain recess outside the camp.
Jiang Li took a closer look, the thin Qiu Da was dressed in blue and gray, a short scarf scribe's clothes, and a square scarf on his head, and the dozen or so gray-clothed men who followed him each carried a log-colored box.
Jiang Li approached and came to meet Qiu Da, and Qiu Shuang reached out and handed a small wooden box beside him to Jiang Li.
"Well, here's the medicine box. It contains all the herbal pills that we have for daily use. After Qiushuang finished speaking, she also carried a box, Qiu Da took it first, and everyone followed Qiu Da to the gate of the camp.
Beizhai also belongs to the interior of Qingfeng Village, and the defense at the gate of the camp is not very strict. A team of gray-clothed men who changed shifts and patrolled were just for show, and they didn't check the people in a village. When he saw that it was Qiu Da, he didn't even ask, so he let people in. So, Qiu Da swaggered into the camp with a dozen people.
Entering the camp was a different story. The tents stationed on the plain were lined up, and on the weapon racks in front of the camp were bright swords, guns, swords, axes, and more bows and arrows.
A burly man in a black robe stood proudly in the open space of the camp, gesticulating, and directing the soldiers in front of him, dressed in gray and dressed in herdsman's clothes, to get on and off their horses with bows and arrows in hand.
"The burly man in the black robe is Konaqi." Qiushuang introduced Jiang Li. Jiang Li let out a faint sigh and watched the soldiers in the field shoot arrows.
On the other side of the camp stood a row of arrow targets, and the soldiers mounted and dismounted, under the command of the black robes of Kanaqi, to shoot at the targets. The sound of horses' hooves, the shouting of Konaqi, the whooshing of thousands of arrow feathersγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The morning of this time of day is the time when they take turns to train on the plains.
Jiang Li watched the arrows flying like flying cockroaches, but Naqi's voice came from afar, and she couldn't hear it clearly, but it made her feel a little trance--where had she heard this voice? It seems like yes. Was it the black clothes that fed himself poison that night? It doesn't seem to be.
After pondering like this, Jiang Li was a few steps behind.
Seeing Qiu Da and his group walk along the edge of the training ground, and go to the neatly arranged tent in front of him, Jiang Li hurried a few steps to follow.
Qiushuang walked on Jiang Li's side, and when she saw Jiang Li looking around curiously, she introduced Jiang Li: "There is such a camp in every place under the jurisdiction of the hall master in the cottage. Although a large part of these soldiers were ordinary people who often went to their homes, the tents in the camp were always kept for them.
Now is a special period, and all the ways out in the cottage are temporarily blocked, and no one can easily leave the village. So now almost every tent is inhabited. But at any given time, a tent room would be vacated in each camp for us to see a doctor and distribute medicine. β
"Well," Qiushuang pointed to a tent room on the side, "the one on the side is for us." β
The tent was very simple, with no furniture, only a dozen tables and chairs. More than a dozen men in gray walked into the tent, put down the medicine boxes one after another, and walked out of the tent to watch the training of the herdsmen on the field.
The training in other camps is very different from here, and Dumb is also crowded outside, watching people riding horses and shooting arrows with great interest.
Jiang Li put down the wooden box and walked out of the tent, and at this time, there was already a man in a silver robe beside Ke Naqi in the field.
The man sat on the horse and said something to Konaqi, but Naqi listened and bowed his head. After the man finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and rode slowly around the field.
"He is Ding Zhiqiu!" Qiushuang and Xiaoxiang stood beside Jiang Li on the left and right, and said to Jiang Li at this time.
Qiu Da also walked out of the tent, and seeing Ding Zhiqiu riding his horse and walking this way, Qiu Da said to Jiang Li in a low voice: "I'll stop him later, and I'll find a way to talk to him for a while." β
When Qiu Da said this, he specially advised: "We can't let go of an enemy, but we can't wronged a good person." So Miss Jiang has to listen carefully. β
Jiang Li didn't have time to answer, Ding Zhiqiu rode over. He didn't look this way, his head twisted to the side, and he watched a veteran in the field teaching the newcomer to practice riding and shooting.
The recruits moved a little awkwardly, and the veteran grabbed the reins and said, "Clamp the horse's belly and use your legs hard." The whole body should be tightened, not loose. β
The veteran stepped forward and grabbed the recruit's arm as he spoke, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, that's it." From the body to the soul, it must be attached to the horse, and there are no gaps at all. You have to treat the horse's body as your body, so that your will is the horse's will, and when you accelerate, clamp the horse's belly and kick lightly with the spurs. β
After the veteran taught the horse riding and taught the recruits how to aim and shoot, how to pull the strings, and how to aim at the target, the veteran taught them very carefully.
Ding Zhiqiu stopped and watched the two practice. When he saw it, he frowned, and pointed at the veteran with a horsewhip in his hand, "You, come here." β
The veteran came over to salute, and when he saw that the face of the one in the silver robe was wrong, he said in fear: "Hall Master, where did I teach it wrong?" β
Ding Zhiqiu shook his head slowly, and said coldly: "You taught well, but you taught the wrong person." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the recruit who was practicing on the other side and asked, "We Dayan people are naturally close to horses, and there is no herdsman who can't ride horses." The man didn't know how to ride a horse at his age, and he wasn't a herdsman at first glance. Why did such people receive me from this Beizhai? Find a reason to go elsewhere. β
"But, hall master, this recruit is indeed a Dayan herdsman." The veteran looked worried, "He and I are both from Liaocheng County." I wasn't very good at riding before, so I wondered if the hall master would give him a chance to practice more-"
"Humph! There are also herdsmen who can't ride horses?! It's really unproductive! "Aren't the people of Dayan supposed to be born to ride horses? - At least that's what he always thought.
Ding Zhiqiu was not angry, and without waiting for the veteran to finish speaking, he turned around with the reins, "Then it's better to leave him behind, so as not to spread it out and lose the face of the Dayan people." β
Ding Zhiqiu had anger on his face, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said these words. But the distance was far away, and no one on Qiu Da's side could hear what he said.
Jiang Li didn't hear it clearly. Her gaze fell on the grove at the edge of the camp not far away, where a herd of free-range horses was leisurely grazing on the grass and leaves of the forest.
Two of the horses came towards her, one brown and the other black. The tails of the two horses swayed back and forth, like dust in the hands of an immortal.
This horse is so beautiful! Jiang Li thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps over there.
Suddenly, a man's voice shouted: "Hey! And who? You don't have long eyes, keep me away from those horses! β
