Qin Xiao followed Ning Zhifeng and rode to the camp gate, and they all turned over and dismounted.

"After a glance at Commander Yuan, he said that Ning Zhifeng had been ordered by the eldest prince and sent him someone." Ning Zhifeng went directly to the front of the door to guard the road.

The guard arched his hand, turned and quickly ran into the camp to give a report.

"Brother Wang, the White Tiger Camp has been very strict since it was established." Ning Zhifeng said to Qin Xiao at this time: "After entering the camp, everything has to rely on yourself, the military regulations are strict, and there are some things that the eldest prince is not easy to talk about." Leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Although there are a few people in the camp who come in through connections, but there are very few of them, and if you want to get mixed in, you have to rely on your own ability." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that I didn't think about being a commander in this White Tiger Camp, it was nothing more than to hide here for a few months, and when it was almost time, I would leave when it was time to leave, and said with a smile: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will abide by the military regulations and not embarrass the eldest prince." ”

Ning Zhifeng patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are really sensible. He said in a low voice: "Anyway, you are the person sent by the eldest prince, if you cause trouble, it will indeed make the eldest prince's face dull, but if you really make meritorious service, it will also increase the face of the eldest prince." After hesitating for a moment, he finally leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear and said, "But you are new to the camp, after entering the camp, familiarize yourself with it first, and don't easily grudge with others." The White Tiger Battalion is not an ordinary barracks, the strong are respected, this is also the rule set by the old marquis back then. There are many brave and strong people in this battalion, try not to conflict with them, otherwise the eldest prince will not ask about the affairs of the barracks. ”

Qin Xiao nodded.

The barracks is a place of swordsmen, and it is a place full of murderous and aggressive spirit, Ning Zhifeng's words are naturally a reminder not to be too publicistic in the barracks.

It didn't take long for the guard to come back, and soon a man in black armor came to this side, thirty-six or seventeen years old, typical of the northwestern body type, tall and large, burly, dark face, when walking, the pace was very heavy.

Qin Xiao thought to himself, could this be Yuan Shangyu, the commander of the White Tiger Battalion?

"This is Su Chao, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Battalion." Ning Zhifeng whispered, had already stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Brother Su! ”

"It turned out to be Brother Ning." Su Chao quickened his pace, stepped forward and smiled: "We haven't seen each other for a few days." I said that you are really not interesting, since you left the White Tiger Camp, you don't seem to have invited me to a banquet, and you don't look down on us with the eldest son? ”

Ning Zhifeng stretched out his fist, slapped Su Chao on the shoulder, and scolded: "When I was in the barracks, didn't Lao Tzu's military salary be deceived by you in a different way?" Don't talk nonsense, on the order of the eldest prince, I sent someone to you. He turned around and said, "Wang Xiao, come and meet Deputy Commander Su." ”

Qin Xiao stepped forward and arched his hand: "I've seen Deputy Commander Su!" ”

Su Chao looked up and down, frowned, and said, "It's very raw, we haven't seen it." ”

"It was met when the eldest prince was out hunting." Ning Zhifeng said: "The eldest prince promised to find him a job, so he sent him to the barracks, Brother Su, you will take care of it more in the future." But it was not mentioned that Qin Xiao had helped Yuwen Chengchao.

Su Chao smiled: "It's not about taking care of it." You also know that it is not easy to enter the White Tiger Camp, this young man's body is a little thinner, if it weren't for the eldest prince, he would really not be qualified to enter the White Tiger Camp. ”

Qin Xiao had already discovered that the four soldiers guarding the camp gate were all burly and extremely tall, and there was a gap between him and them in terms of height and size.

It seems that the selection of people in the White Tiger Camp depends on the size of the body first.

"Of course, if there is an eldest prince, the White Tiger Camp will naturally have to accept it." Su Chao saw that Ning Zhifeng's face was a little unpleasant, and immediately smiled: "You go back and talk to the eldest prince, and I will try my best to take care of it here." ”

Ning Zhifeng arched his hand, turned around and got on the horse, and led the horse that Qin Xiao rode over, and then said to Qin Xiao: "Brother Wang, you will follow Deputy Commander Su into the camp, and everything will abide by the military regulations." He nodded at Su Chao, turned around and rode away.

Su Chao glanced at Qin Xiao at this time, and said coldly: "Follow me in." ”

Qin Xiao followed Su Chao into the camp, looking at the past, the camp was empty, most of them were cowhide tents, only a few brick buildings, and on the grassland in the distance, many soldiers were riding horses shirtless, and many people practiced archery in the arrow field.

At first glance, this White Tiger Barracks looks like a small town.

After walking for a while, Su Chao didn't say a word, and suddenly raised his hand and beckoned not far away: "Geng Shao, come here!" ”

A shirtless man quickly ran over, bent over and said, "My lord! ”

"I heard that one of your men is sick, how is it now?"

"My lord, I have improved, and I started training yesterday." Geng Shao said.

Su Chao frowned and said, "The barracks is composed of eight hundred cavalry, and no one more is allowed." The eldest prince sent a person, thinking that someone under your hand was sick, so let this side ......! ”

"My lord, he is now recovered, there are no big problems, and he is training very hard." Geng Shao glanced at Qin Xiao: "I'm afraid there is no establishment here." ”

Su Chao turned to look at Qin Xiao and said, "Wang Xiao, the eldest prince sent you into the camp, and he should have given you a formation." However, there were no casualties in the battalion, and no one was expelled for violating military rules, and the 800 personnel were full, even if you added one more person, it was against the will of the imperial court, and once the imperial court knew about it, it would be a big trouble. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this Su Chao was outside the camp gate just now, and he didn't seem to treat him very well.

Maybe it's because he saw that his body was a little thin, and he felt contemptuous, or he felt that he was the person sent by the eldest son, and he entered the camp by virtue of his relationship, and he looked down on himself in his bones.

Qin Xiao obviously felt that Su Chao didn't have a good impression of him.

"Deputy Commander Su, if it's inconvenient, I can leave." Qin Xiao thought to himself that Su Chao said that the eight hundred personnel were full, which meant that the White Tiger Battalion had no place for itself, and he didn't have to rely on it here.

But he was very surprised.

In any case, he was also sent by Yuwen Chengchao, and this White Tiger Camp was also directly subordinate to the Yuwen family, and it was the Yuwen family's silver that was spent.

Although Yuwen Chengchao moved out of the Hou Mansion, he was also the eldest son of the Yuwen family after all, although Su Chao's status in the White Tiger Camp was not low, but in the eyes of the Yuwen family, he was just a minion.

How dare he disobey Yuwen Chengchao's orders and use the full establishment as an excuse not to contain himself?

Su Chao smiled faintly and said, "Don't think about it, I don't mean to let you leave." After thinking for a while, he said: "Although the establishment is temporarily full, it is not easy to include you in it, but it is not difficult to arrange one person in the barracks." He raised his hand and pointed to the distance and said, "There are stables, armory workshops, and blacksmith shops in the barracks." There is also a cooking room that is specially responsible for the food of the big guys, yes, the horse material needed for the war horse may be supplied every day, and people can be arranged in these places, although the military salary is lower, but it is still much stronger than ordinary people. ”

Qin Xiao's face did not change, but he sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that Su Chao was going to arrange himself to these miscellaneous places?

"In addition to the eight hundred cavalry in the barracks, there are also two or three hundred people who do logistics chores." Su Chao said: "Wang Xiao, if you are willing, I will arrange for you to go to these places to do chores first, and when there is a vacancy in the establishment, I will let you fill it first, what do you think?" ”

Geng Shao, who was shirtless, immediately said: "My lord, there is a shortage of manpower in the horse stockyard, you can transfer him to the horse stockyard." ”

"Yes, let's go to the stockyard." Su Chao pointed to the corner in the distance: "The horse yard is over there, if you are willing to stay, you can do something in the horse yard for the time being, and there is also a military salary of two taels of silver a month, although it is less than that of the cavalry, but ordinary people can't ask for it." He smiled and said, "Of course, if you think that you are condescending, you want to go back to the eldest prince, don't say that I am embarrassing you." The barracks have the rules of the barracks, and you can't withdraw other people's establishments for no reason because of you, which is not fair to others, and it will also make the soldiers think that the eldest prince is favoritism, which is always not good, don't you say? ”

Qin Xiao smiled on his face and said, "Everything is arranged by the deputy commander. ”

Su Chao saw that Qin Xiao was quite obedient, and said with a smile: "This is very good." Geng Shao, you take him to the horse yard. "Don't talk nonsense, turn around and leave.

Geng Shao said lightly: "Follow me." Turning around and going to the horse yard, Qin Xiao followed behind, thinking that if he came, he would be safe, no matter where he was, he would hold on for a few months and leave.

The White Tiger camp is indeed very empty, along the way, in addition to the neat cowhide tent barracks, there are also wide arrow fields and grassland for training horse riding, in addition, there are soldiers training swordsmanship, and there are soldiers training spears.

The soldiers trained were all shirtless, with almost no thin bodies.

Qin Xiao also knew in his heart that his body did look too thin on the outside, and his appearance was too delicate, not at all like the soldiers here who were full of murderous energy.

It's no wonder that Su Chao and Geng Shao were prejudiced against themselves from the beginning.

In addition to the training place, Qin Xiao also saw that there was indeed a blacksmith shop in the camp, and there was a sound of striking iron, it should be building weapons, after all, hundreds of people in the White Tiger Battalion were training every day, and weapons and armor and other equipment were inevitably damaged, and the blacksmith shop was used to repair these damaged weapons and armor.

The stables are some way from the barracks, and the stockyard is next to the stables.

Geng Shao took Qin Xiao to the horse yard, and a man in his forties ran up, bowed down and said with a smile: "Geng Riding School, why are you here?" If you call for something, you don't need to come in person. Yes, you're looking for Hiroko? I'll call you now. ”

"It has nothing to do with him, it's just that I sent you a hand." Geng Shao said: "Didn't you say that there is a shortage of manpower here, come, Wang Xiao, this is Team He of the horse field, and you will follow Team He to work here in the future." Just listen to what team is arranging. ”

Qin Xiao stepped forward and saluted, Team He was looking up and down, frowned, and said, "Geng Qixiao, can he do hard work?" ”

"Whether you can do it or not depends on how you train it." Geng Shao was lukewarm, "The person is handed over to you." "No more nonsense, turn around and leave.

As soon as Geng Shao walked on his front foot, He Teamzheng's back straightened, and he didn't look at Qin Xiao, turned around and went inside.

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking to himself, why don't you arrange it for yourself, the team of a horse yard is also so big?

"Still not following up?" Team He was turning around, and when he saw that Qin Xiao hadn't moved, he scolded: "I'm blind, I don't have a brain, and I don't get in yet, do you still have to line up to meet you?" ”
