"Huh? Is it because of their Imperial military status? Zhao Hu asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He also noticed this, so he didn't give them Shi Gao in Mingyue City.

"Yes, although they are now a militia, they are well-founded local troops, and if they are recognized, they will definitely cause trouble." Odi said.

"What then? We don't have enough manpower, do we want to let those civil officials and guards change careers? Zhou Wen frowned.

"Hey, big sister, are you stupid? Everyone has tens of thousands of strong men in Mingyue City, and the old knife has also begun to build a new cavalry team, with so many reserve forces, do you still need to worry about no one to serve as a personal guard? Sun Jie said with a smile, but after speaking, he was slapped by Zhou Wen, and he grinned in pain.

"My lord, this is the map led by Major Zhao Hu." Liu Bin, who had been silent, saw that there was nothing wrong, so he took out a parchment roll and handed it over.

Zhao Hu unfolded it, and a very detailed, concise and intuitive map appeared in front of him, and with this map, the direction and location of the territory, the distribution of important institutions and resources were all clear.

Zhao Hu suddenly said on a whim: "Liu Bin, I don't know if you are willing to go to the Southeast Peninsula with me?" I need you to make a map of Bright Moon City for me. ”

It is not surprising that Zhao Hu asked for this, with a map, the training can be several times stronger.

Liu Bin, whose face was still dirty, suddenly showed a bright smile: "Okay, anyway, there is nothing I need to do in your territory anyway, but ......" Liu Bin blinked, and a flexible feeling immediately revealed from his eyes: "I also want you to canonize Shi Gao to me, my lord." ”

"Haha, there's no problem with this, how much do you need Just open your mouth, I still have nearly a million stone stones in my hand in Bright Moon City." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

This Liu Bin's cartographic skills are definitely a treasure, because even people who don't know anything about Zhao Huling can launch an attack with a great chance of winning based on this parchment scroll, which he knows when he sees the map.

"Hehe, I don't want much, just give a subordinate general rank first, and then reward him for meritorious service later." Liu Bin said with a smile.

"Okay, when you get to Bright Moon City, I'll give it to you immediately." Zhao Hu didn't care if Liu Bin wanted less, anyway, he wouldn't treat him badly.

Ou Di immediately congratulated Zhao Hu: "Congratulations to your lord for winning this pillar." ”

Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Only then did he realize that Liu Bin asked him for Shi Gao in order to completely become his cronies, not to maintain his status as a guest before.

"Well, Odi, how about you stay in this major to help me manage the territory? I am ready to personally train troops on the Southeastern Peninsula. Zhao Hu suddenly remembered something and said.

Ou Di knew that this was Zhao Hu's compassion for himself, after all, he was not young anymore, and he was unwilling to follow him to the battlefield. Originally, I was reluctant, but I thought that although Mingyue City was fundamental, this major was also a façade, and smuggling activities needed to be received.

And the inspector of the territory who doesn't know if he will come, is to come, and he doesn't know when he will come.

Thinking of this, Ou Di nodded, among the five major guards, he is still the only one who is suitable to stay, and the other little guys should follow the adults to make contributions, just take care of this family yourself.

Feeling Ou Di's sadness, Zhou Wen leaned forward to hold Ou Di's hand, but he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little silent.

At this moment, a wolf howl sounded, and before the sound dissipated, a black shadow pounced into Zhao Hu's arms.

Sun Jie and Zhou Wen immediately lost their voices and shouted: "Black wolf! ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't take you with me when I went out, but it seems that you ran away by yourself." Zhao Hu said with a smile and touched the black wolf's head.

Taking the opportunity to divert his attention, Zhou Wen, who was pulling Ou Di over, suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? Black wolf, why are you hurt? Could it be that there are creatures in the woods around here that can bully you? Hee-hee, it seems that I haven't seen you for a while. ”

The black wolf turned his head and glared at Zhou Wen, let out a breath, and raised his head to the sky and howled, and what catered to it was the wolf howl all over the mountains, this overwhelming wolf howl shocked everyone, and the sound of soldiers gathering came from outside the lord's mansion.

Zhao Hu patted the black wolf's head, the black wolf's howl shook, and the wolf howl that resounded in the sky disappeared immediately, and the black wolf, who closed his mouth, glanced at Zhou Wen with disdain, closed his eyes and rested at Zhao Hu's feet.

"You ......" Zhou Wen was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

And Ou Di smiled: "Haha, the black wolf is really powerful, and it only took so much time to control the wild wolf within a radius of hundreds of miles." "I say it's hundreds of miles, because there is no such a large area, and it is impossible to survive so many wild wolves.

Zhao Hu also smiled: "Well, it seems that the black wolf should be brought with you when you go to training, it can not only detect the enemy, but also help train war horses and overcome the fear of fierce beasts." ”

Everyone applauded this, but Odi reminded, "My lord, you can't just take the black wolf, it's better to let the black wolf gather some of his men and bring them with you." ”

When the black wolf heard that it was about him, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened.

"Why bring so many wolves? Meat consumption is enormous. Zhou Wen asked puzzled.

Ou Di said: "If you only bring one black wolf, even if the adult changes his name and surname, and even his face is covered, he will be carefully observed immediately." After all, the training of adults is to wage war against foreign countries, there are many people, and the strange situation of adults will soon spread to the empire, and once it is noticed by someone who cares, the identity of the adult will be exposed.

"And if the black wolf appears with a group of his subordinates, it won't attract attention, and everyone will at most think that there are many more big dogs in Mingyue City."

"Hey, it's still Uncle who thinks thoughtfully, I didn't take this into account." Sun Jie said embarrassedly.

Ou Di smiled and soothed: "You are still young, and you haven't considered many things, so you can think more about things in the future." "He's expecting a lot from these little guys.

"Well, so be it, when Fell brings in the first shipment, we'll leave with the ship." Zhao Hu ended the meeting with these words, and then everyone left, busy with their work.

Soon, within a few days, Fell escorted dozens of ships over, and Peter had already prepared supplies. Since it is equal to one's own transaction, there is no dispute, and the settlement is completed quickly.

Just after the first transaction was over, Zhao Hu took Zhou Wen and the others to Mingyue City by boat.

The first batch of Wengong guards left half of Ou Di to help train the new batch of civil guards, and these civil guards will go to Mingyue City to continue their studies after having a certain amount of experience, after all, Mingyue City is a thousand times bigger than the major, and it is more capable of forging talents with a foundation.

In addition to Zhao Hu's personal guards, there is also an outsider, and this outsider is none other than Yu'an, the militia captain.

Juan is a clever man, of course he knows that there is no future in being a militia, so when he knew that Zhao Hu would no longer take the militia away, he immediately abandoned the identity of the imperial army and pledged allegiance to Zhao Hu, but he knew what Shi Gao represented from Maude's mouth.

Thinking that after he took office, he would need someone to help manage the army in Mingyue City, and Zhao Hu also recognized Ju'an's allegiance.

Of course, in addition to bringing these cronies, Zhao Hu also had the black wolf and its three hundred wild wolf men. I don't know how the black wolf commanded, these wild wolves were able to stay in the cabin in order obediently, and they didn't cause any trouble to the fleet at all, but they just prepared a few meat ships for them.

Time flies by like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Although the coastal province is a province near the sea and mountains, due to the approaching of the New Year, small snowflakes still begin to fall from the sky.

Also because it is close to the end of the year, although the weather is cold, most people are busy preparing for the New Year, so that the provincial capital has not reduced the flow of people, but has become more crowded.

The two imperial soldiers guarding the city gate, dressed all over their bodies, with gloves in their sleeves, bent over their shoulders and holding a spear, leaned against the edge of the city gate and watched the crowd coming in and out. They didn't check on the passers-by, and the two baskets around them were already filled with more than half of the copper coins.

The young one occasionally shouted weakly: "The entrance fee to the city, one copper coin per person." ”

The older ones are closing their eyes and recuperating.

After a while, the older guard opened his eyes, moved his muscles, first turned his head to look at the city, and when he saw that there were no eyesore, he left his post and walked towards the younger soldier opposite.

His movement cut off the flow of people entering and leaving the city gates, and only resumed when he had passed. And the basket at his feet is still alone? , not only did no one steal the copper coins inside, but even the people who came in and out, without human supervision, would still automatically throw the entrance fee into the basket.

"Hey, it's really uncomfortable to move for a while, I heard that the goose feather snow in the imperial capital can make the snow more than a foot deep in a while, I really don't know how they can stand it."

"Come, drink, warm up." As he spoke, the older soldier took a sip of a flask from his bosom and handed it over.

The young soldier looked a little tender, he took the wine jug, and said hesitantly: "Brother, this is the time of duty, isn't it okay to drink?" ”

"Hey, you enlisted in the army this summer, so I don't know if you're allowed to drink some wine to warm up when you're on duty in the winter, as long as it's not too much."

Seeing that the young soldier still had doubts, the old soldier couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you think this is the border area adjacent to the Shanyue country, and there are mountain bandits everywhere!" We are the provincial capital, the central part of the province, and the civilians around us are very peaceful, and they will not make trouble at all.
