Yingcheng.

The sky was bright and the weeds by the roadside were covered with dewdrops.

The breeze was blowing, and the dew was crumbling.

Suddenly, a horse's hooves shook, and the dew was bounced off the weeds, reflecting the light.

The horse's hooves trampled it, and the dew drops were crushed and disappeared.

A dozen horses galloped forward.

In the distance, hundreds of tents could be faintly seen, and there was a faint glow of fire.

After running around for several days, I finally arrived at the barracks.

Xiao Zhan tightened the reins, and the horse suddenly stopped, and launched a long neighing sound.

The sweet guard, who was guarding the gate of the barracks and sleeping against the railing, was stunned and hurriedly opened his sleepy eyes.

He stood up in a panic, pointed the spear in his hand at Xiao Zhan and the others, and said, "The military camp is heavy, and the idle people are not allowed to approach!" ”

Hearing the guard say this, Lian Xuan rolled his eyes at the sky, and then said with cold eyes, "Just you are guarding the barracks like this, and you don't know that you have been wiped by the enemy, and you are not allowed to approach?" ”

Saying that, Lian Xuan snorted, "It is also said that General Ao leads the troops, and he is known for being strict and obedient, but that's it." ”

The guard said angrily, "How can you criticize General Ao?!" ”

Xiao Zhan glanced at the guard.

A guard is so supportive of General Ao, it seems that if he wants to take over an army of 100,000, it will be more difficult than he imagined.

Zhao Xing stepped forward and took out a token from his arms.

The guard glanced at it, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've seen General Xiao." ”

Lian Xuan snorted and laughed, "Why does it sound so awkward, I thought my uncle was here." ”

Zhao Xing and the other secret guards couldn't help laughing.

The corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. He was about to enter the barracks, but the guards were one step ahead of him. Ran into the barracks and shouted. "General Xiao is here! The Great General is here! ”

In other words, this voice is amazing.

In the barracks, most people did not dare to fall asleep, especially those generals, who wore armor and slept with swords in their arms.

At first glance, when he heard that General Xiao was coming, he rolled off the bed in fright.

Hugged his helmet and hurried out of the camp.

"General Xiao is here, where is it?" A general asked.

Saying. When the general asked, his eyes swept over Xiao Zhan's face, and he swept around Lian Xuan and the secret guard, making sure that he didn't see General Xiao, so he asked.

directly ignored Xiao Zhan.

The General Xiao in their eyes is Xiao Zhan's uncle, but not him.

These generals were afraid, they jointly went to the court and refused to accept a young man. Hairy boys who don't have any military exploits come to lead them into battle, and they don't accept it.

These days, there is no holy decree from the imperial court.

I just heard that General Xiao was coming, and I thought that the emperor had temporarily ordered General Xiao to fight on their behalf.

Among these generals. Some people have been mixed under General Xiao, and the hard work of that training is more than ten times that of the current one. Tired like a dog every day.

If General Xiao comes, don't talk about these little soldiers. These generals will be more bitter.

Honestly, that moment. They regretted that they had played together.

Xiao Zhan was ignored, he was not angry, how could he compare with his uncle who had great achievements, but Lian Xuan was angry, "What's the matter, General Chen, it's not like you haven't returned to Beijing, last year you still held your son's neck to apologize to me, it was my eldest brother who helped you say a good word, and I spared your son, it's only been a year, and I forgot what my eldest brother's surname is?" ”

Seeing Lian Xuan, General Chen's face turned dark.

When Lian Xuan said this, it meant that General Xiao was Xiao Zhan, not General Xiao as he thought.

Xiao Zhan is handsome, he can't accept it.

How can he accept a gentleman who is rampant in Kyoto as a deputy marshal, two levels higher than him?

General Chen didn't speak, he knew that Lian Xuan was difficult, and now that he was the deputy marshal, he didn't dare to provoke him.

He looked to the right, and a general, dressed in a majestic outfit, walked up.

The general's rear strength was strong, his skin was dark, and under the first rays of morning light in the sky, it was black and glowing.

This person's surname is Sun, and he is the first general under General Ao Da, and he is famous for his bravery.

After General Ao returned to Beijing, he was entrusted with the training task of the 100,000-strong army, which shows his trust in him.

General Chen smiled, "General Sun, General Xiao has arrived." ”

"General Xiao?" General Sun swept Xiao Zhan's eyes, and his eyes were full of contempt, "A hairy little doll dares to be a general?" ”

When his voice fell, a general beside him smiled and said, "The emperor is really confused, how can it be regarded as child's play, let him, a kid who is not yet twenty years old and has not even been on the battlefield a few times, lead us to fight, so that we generals have no face?" ”

This is the border pass, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, but the emperor is confused in public, and the emperor doesn't know, let alone afraid.

In fact, Xiao Zhan had already prepared for it, and it was extremely difficult to convince these generals who had fought hundreds of battles large and small.

Xiao Zhan looked at those generals and said, "Don't you generals think that I have the ability to command an army of 100,000? ”

Those generals said in unison, "This is natural, which big general didn't start as a small general, and he has never seen a soaring sky!" ”

Lian Xuan bared his teeth, "Then today, you can be regarded as having a long insight, since my eldest brother, you have it!" ”

Xiao Zhan's joy and anger are invisible, even Xuan has everything on his face, and if he is unhappy, he is unhappy.

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand to stop Lian Xuan and asked, "How can I convince the generals?" ”

General Qian stepped forward and said, "I heard that you, the commander, won the competition, and there are many generals in Kyoto who participated in the competition?" ”

Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's true." ”

General Qian glanced at the generals and said, "We were stationed at the border pass, and we couldn't go back to Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and we also missed the opportunity to win the commandery, which is really a pity for us." ”

As he spoke, he paused and said with a smile, "I said this, Young Master Xiao Biao understood what I meant, right?" ”

From his name for Xiao Zhan, I knew that he was unconvinced.

Lian Xuan looked at the sky with his eyes, this person was really underbeaten, and couldn't help but say, "You want to follow my eldest brother one by one?" Who wins, who is in charge? ”

General Qian nodded, "Exactly." ”

He said. Seven or eight generals chimed in and agreed.

Lian Xuan touched his nose. smiled, "Okay." My eldest brother and I have no objections, but we have come here after a long journey, why should we take a break and breathe a sigh of relief, so let's do it, you generals will compare first, and the one who wins will compare with my eldest brother, what do you generals think? ”

Lian Xuan didn't really want to compare, he didn't care. I just want to sit down and take a break and watch the excitement.

It's a pity that the excitement he wants to see is destined to not be seen.

General Sun has a high prestige in the army, and there is no need to compete in martial arts, and those generals are not his opponents.

Several generals glanced at each other and said to Xiao Zhan, "In the army, the highest prestige and martial arts belong to General Sun, and his martial arts are on par with General Ao. Even better, we know that we are not General Sun's opponent, and besides, the battle at the border pass is urgent, so there is no time to delay our competition. It's not comparable. ”

Lian Xuan smiled, "General Sun and General Ao are about the same level of martial arts?" Then I'm relieved. ”

General Sun's face changed.

Although they are far away at the border, what happened in Kyoto. In particular, I heard a lot about General Ao Da being killed in prison.

General Ao was killed by Xiao Zhan!

looked at Xiao Zhan's cold face. There is also the breath of being a living person, and I can feel that his martial arts are good. Of course, if the martial arts are poor, it is impossible to pass all the way to the position of general, but General Ao was really killed by him, or whether Xiao Lao Guogong or General Xiao killed him to help him establish his authority, but it is impossible to say.

If you can help your son ask for 100,000 soldiers, this fake will be willing to help anyone.

In this way, it was General Sun who competed with Xiao Zhan.

Lian Xuan glanced at General Sun's appearance and said to Xiao Zhan, "Big brother, let me compete for you, right?" ”

In a word, General Sun was directly annoyed, and his face turned pale.

The martial arts of the Marquis of Jingbei, even the son of General Chen can make the corners of his mouth bruise, he can win the deputy marshal, that is because of the Xiaoguo Mansion and the Jingbei Marquis Mansion, no one dares to hurt him, dare to fight with him, afraid that he will retaliate afterwards, let him get cheap for nothing, he really thinks he is a green onion.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Lian Xuan and said, "This competition, I will come by myself, if you want to compete with General Sun, you can follow." ”

General Sun glanced at Xiao Zhan, he didn't take Xiao Zhan in his eyes at all, and said, "Young Master Xiao Biao came all the way to the border pass, and he was tired, so he will rest for a while, and you and I will compete when you have rested enough." ”

Let Xiao Zhan go to the partial tent to rest, not the main account.

Xiao Zhan smiled, "There is no need to rest." ”

That is, it can be compared now.

These words sounded in the ears of General Sun, and they were contemptuous of him.

Whoever rides a horse for a few days and nights will be tired and his bones will fall apart.

He let him rest because he didn't want to take advantage of him, but he didn't know what to do.

General Sun held back his anger and said, "Young Master Xiao Biao is confident, but sometimes, self-confidence alone is not enough!" ”

Lian Xuan walked over to him and said with a smile, "General Sun, thank you for your kindness, my eldest brother is not stupid enough to joke about the position of the general." ”

As he spoke, Lian Xuan glanced at the generals and said, "This son of the world has gained a reputation in Kyoto, and you all think that my deputy handsome is obtained by playing tricks, right?" ”

The generals did not speak, but their faces were written: Isn't this an obvious thing?

Lian Xuan was not angry, originally he and Xiao Zhan came to the border and had no prestige, these people sent them to the door to give them prestige, which is a good thing.

Lian Xuan wiped his nose and said with a smile, "After my eldest brother and General Sun have a discussion for a while, if anyone is not satisfied with me being the deputy marshal, they can come and challenge me, if I lose, the position of the deputy marshal will be given to him!" ”

General Chen looked at Lian Xuan, there was a smile in his eyes, but he concealed it very well, "Hou Shizi of Jingbei, what you say is spilled water, there is no room for repentance, you have to think clearly." ”

These generals are happy, and they don't know how many years it will take for them to climb up with their military exploits and climb to the position of deputy marshal.

Only Xiao Zhan and Lian Xuan have a good life, and they have a domineering and prestigious grandfather, who has his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Now, we must kill his arrogance!

Lian Xuan was very sure, "The big husband has said everything, and the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

"Good!"

General Sun laughed and said, "Young Master Xiao Biao and the Marquis of Jingbei are worthy of being the grandsons of Old Duke Xiao, they are refreshing and domineering enough!" ”

After laughing, he said with a solemn face, "Swing the ring!" ”

At this time, a bunch of officers and soldiers were gathered around to watch the excitement.

As soon as General Sun said that he would set up the ring, the officers and soldiers over there raised their drums and came out.

General Sun invited Xiao Zhan and others to the ring.

The drums of war shook the sky.

On the test platform, General Sun and Xiao Zhan stood face to face.

Underneath, is everyone's speculation.

Lian Xuan stood below, his hands itching.

I don't want to fight, but I want to gamble and win a few small bucks.

The gongs and drums are beaten, and the competition begins.

On the test platform, General Sun occupied the elders, and wanted Xiao Zhan to make three moves.

The corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth hooked up with a vague smile, "No need, you and I rely on real skills." ”

General Sun frowned, feeling that Xiao Zhan was putting pressure on him, and even pressed him a little out of breath.

"Good!"

With that, General Sun and Xiao Zhan handed it over.

Fists and feet are added, and fists are hunting.

General Sun smashed the railing in a circle, and the railing exploded in an instant, hitting the officers and soldiers below, and the officers and soldiers screamed in pain.

Another kick directly stepped out of the crack on the test bench.

If you get punched and kicked, you will definitely break a few ribs.

Don't take it lightly.

But every punch of General Sun, Xiao Zhan took it alive.

Xiao Zhan's face did not change, and General Sun's eyes became more and more solemn.

Under the stands, Lian Xuan touched his nose and was a little speechless, the eldest brother is really, what kind of face do you save for people, isn't it good to fight quickly.

He patted the hearts of the officers and soldiers on the side and said, "Brother, are there any melon seeds?" ”

The officer, "......." ”

"General, it is not allowed to eat melon seeds in the barracks," the officers and soldiers said helplessly.

This general is so casual.

Lian Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "My military camp, you can have it." ”

On the test bench, the wind and clouds wrinkled.

General Sun rushed towards Xiao Zhan, his fists clenched, the green tendons on it bulging, and beads of sweat.

Xiao Zhan stepped back, and soon, he retreated to the edge of the test table.

He stepped on the railing with one foot and soared into the air.

He flashed to General Sun's hand, grabbed his shoulder, and shook it hard.

And then......

"Wake up, wake up, young grandma, it's time to get up, the eldest girl and the second girl are coming for you."

In my ears, there was the crisp and crisp call of peony. (To be continued......)
