The lieutenant colonel saw that no one objected, and smiled: "Okay, we, the officers directly under the wing, are very idle, as long as there is no order, they are free to move, but it is best not to leave the city without asking for leave." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Also, we are all self-employed officers of the wing, you can ask a few men to help on the street, we have low wages here, and a lot of people come here without food and lodging, and no wages. Well, that's it. After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he threw down the stunned Zhao Hu and the others, and settled in a dashing manner.

Sun Jie glared at Zhou Wen and said, "Eldest sister, what did the lieutenant colonel say?" Let's start our own gang? No way? We are regular soldiers! ”

Zhou Wen didn't answer, but asked Mark: "Lord Mark, when you took up the post of the Fifth Wing, was this the treatment?" ”

Mark shook his head with a wry smile: "Worse." When I first took office, I went into the city to report to the old man, and on the way I was reprimanded by the old man's cronies, who were the chief of the military police, saying that I led the troops on horseback and swaggered through the city, which would damage the prestige of the army.

"When I dismounted and walked to the wing headquarters, I was coldly told by the old man that there was no chief of staff in the fifth wing, and there was no vacancy for me, so I was asked to either wait for the arrival of the chief of staff, or find a way out on my own, so that I ran back to my territory in disgrace, and if he had arranged me as a direct officer, I would not have gone to the brigade headquarters to complain."

Zhou Wen frowned: "In this way, the old man does have bad intentions, because I found that when I was saluting at the city gate, the old man's eyes were focused on us war horses, but he didn't notice us at all, as if he completely ignored us." ”

Hearing this, Mark felt bitter in his heart, is this the difference between more than thirty inferior horses and more than four hundred excellent war horses?

However, he quickly came to his senses and said suspiciously: "This is impossible, that old man has taken a fancy to our war horse?" Not to mention that these war horses are in our personal guard establishment, and even His Excellency the Marshal has no right to transfer them, even if we voluntarily give the war horses to the old man, is it useless for the old man to form a cavalry team in this mountain forest?

"Cavalry and mountain bandits are tantamount to death! The old man wouldn't be unaware of this fact, would he? ”

"The main palace was originally responsible for all the expenses, and it is normal for them to start their own gangs." Zhao Hu suddenly came out with this sentence, which made everyone present stunned.

Only then did Zhou Wen and the others remember that they were now in the Imperial Army, and according to the Imperial Military Regulations, it was true that during the time they were on the Southeast Peninsula, they confused the guards with the regular army. Thinking of this, Zhou Wen stuck out his tongue, and Sun Jie patted his head.

Entering the mansion of the former county governor, everyone was surprised to find that this place was ridiculously large, in general, it was divided into three courtyards, the outer courtyard was a school field that could accommodate thousands of people, and there were rows of stables on the side, as well as weapon racks placed in the open air, but most of them were rotten, and the ground of the school field was also covered with grass.

The middle courtyard is dozens of row houses, looking at the structure inside, it is inhabited by people, and if you look at the beds, it is not a problem to settle one or two thousand people.

The inner courtyard is exaggerated, with a dilapidated but still imposing house towering in the center, and behind it is a large garden with dozens of old trees with lush foliage, the ground has become overgrown with weeds, and a pond of considerable size but has dried up.

In addition to this main building, there are several walled, single-family courtyards on the side of the main building near the middle courtyard, which are presumably for guests.

Judging from the structural layout of these buildings, the county governor who originally lived there was an extraordinary person, and I am afraid that there were thousands of soldiers alone.

I don't know how the position of county magistrate with such a magnificent mansion has not been held for more than ten years, is it true that those mountain bandits are so powerful? Can you scare the county magistrate into being a nobody?

Mark looked at the magnificent main mansion, and then looked at Zhou Wen and the others who were eager to try, and hurriedly said: "I think we should find a courtyard to live in, although I don't know when the next county governor will take office, but this is the county governor's mansion, if we don't move the main house, even if the new county governor takes office and sees us living here, there is nothing to say." ”

Zhou Wen saw Zhao Hu nodding in approval, his eyes rolled and said, "That's right, this is the best, I took a look at the courtyard here, there is no problem for fifty people to live in one building." There are six of them, and the easternmost one has the best view, so let's let Master Mark live in it, and the remaining five will be given to us. ”

Sun Jie immediately clapped his hands and said, "Eldest sister is the most appropriate arrangement, let's take care of our respective territories now." As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hu, and when he saw Zhao Hu nodding, he immediately waved his hand and rushed into the five courtyards with Zhao Hu's personal guards.

Mark's subordinate, that An Yong wanted to say something with a dissatisfied face, but was stopped by Mark, Mark said a few words to Zhao Huhara, and also led people to his courtyard.

Seeing Mark leaving, Zhou Wen said to Zhao Hu, who was standing aside and looking at the surrounding scenery: "My lord, if that old man of the wing leader really beats our war horse idea, what should we do?" ”

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "The wing captain will not act so recklessly, no matter how you say that he is a veteran soldier who has been in the army for decades, in this mountainous area, the cavalry has no combat effectiveness except for being used as scouts." ”

Zhou Wen gritted his teeth: "Although the truth is so, but the subordinates look at him very strangely, although he looks old and weak on the outside, but his subordinates think that he is extraordinary, and he is definitely a militant." Maybe he just wants to use the war horse to form a cavalry to provoke the mountain bandits, and it is not necessary to use it as a bait to seduce the mountain bandits down the mountain. ”

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Why do you think so?" ”

Zhou Wen said a little hesitantly: "My subordinates don't know, but I just intuitively feel that the old man will do this, and the old man gives people the feeling that he can sacrifice anything for victory." The thought popped into my head when I saw the way he looked at our horses. ”

"Intuition?" Zhao Hu knew that this kind of thing was very mysterious, and he couldn't make sense at all, so he pondered for a while and said, "In that case, let Sun Jie send secret guards to monitor the officers of the wing." ”

"Yes." Zhou Wen responded that this Jinwen County is where Zhao Hu works, and the secret guards have been lurking here for a long time.

The Fifth Wing Headquarters, although this Wing Headquarters is not as wide as Zhao Hu's station, it is not much worse, and because it is inhabited all year round, it is not as dilapidated as Zhao Hu's station, at least there are no weeds on the ground and in the corners.

However, although it is a little better than Zhao Hu's station, it is not a beautiful place, it is just very neat, and it is not luxurious and brilliant at all.

At this moment, in the hall of the wing headquarters, the old man of Jilong was sitting in the main seat, and there were several officers of the colonel rank sitting around him.

The lieutenant colonel who entertained Zhao Hu and the others stood in the center and saluted and said, "Sir, my subordinates have already settled them in the mansion of the former county governor. ”

"After they knew that this place was the county governor's mansion, did they excuse themselves?" The old colonel asked, squinting his eyes.

"I just resigned once, and my subordinates said that there was no county governor in office for more than ten years, so they didn't say more."

"Oh, then they are responsible for their own personal food and their own maintenance of the station, have they complained?" The old man asked again.

"No, they don't seem to care about it at all." The lieutenant colonel replied.

The old colonel stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, and then asked his subordinates, "What do you think?" ”

The lieutenant colonel who entertained Zhao Hu said: "Sir, that major named Zhao Hu is extraordinary, and listening to Wei Long's report, this is a very stable guy, you must know that the general major can't be so calm when he sees that formation, and he is probably a person of prominent status." ”

A lieutenant colonel opposite him suddenly smiled and said: "Hehe, I said second, who doesn't know this, can an ordinary major have a full range of guards with one person and three horses, complete armor and weapons?" ”

At the beginning, a lieutenant colonel next to the lieutenant colonel also smiled: "Yes, second brother, even if you don't talk about those equipment and war horses, just looking at the soldiers will know that they are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, then Mark's personal guard and Zhao Hu's personal guard are simply the comparison between the militia and the regular army, in this way, who doesn't know Zhao Hu's prominent identity." ”

The lieutenant colonel, known as the second child, smiled helplessly: "I said the eldest brother and the third child, didn't I make the opening statement?" Why did you provoke so much tongue? The chief had already seen that Zhao Hu's identity was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have made him a direct officer. ”

The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said: "That's true, I'm afraid that this Zhao Hu is on some task, or he will come down to gild, in short, it is the best way to deal with him by such a person." ”

"Well, sir, do you think this could be that ungrateful guy who deliberately stuffed Zhao Hu to us and let us provoke him?" The second lieutenant colonel asked.

As soon as these words came out, the officers present all shouted and cursed the ungrateful man.

The third child jumped up excitedly and scolded: "That bastard! If it weren't for the commander taking care of him, would he have been able to become the commander of the division? It's been hung up for 10,000 years!

"If it weren't for the chief, let alone his bones that could be used to beat the drum, I'm afraid the ashes wouldn't have been left! But this Wang Ba was afraid that his previous ugliness would spread out, and he actually suppressed the chief desperately, and he didn't know what the above thought, but he actually listened to the words of the Wang Ba, and let the chief stay in the position of colonel for decades! ”

"That's right! But this is not to be angry, the most angry thing is that this Wang Ba wants to pretend to be a gentleman who knows how to repay his kindness, and he actually hyped up how much trouble he blocked for the chief! Let the world misunderstand that if he hadn't existed, the chief would have been persuaded to retire a long time ago! Phew! Speaking of that Wang Ba, he was angry! The old lieutenant colonel couldn't help but scold.
