Qin Xiao didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, he was very sleepy, and when Geng Shao wrote the list and read it, he fell asleep.

I slept until dusk, but no one dared to disturb me, and when I woke up, I was full of energy, and I only felt that all the energy consumed in the past two days had recovered.

He ordered Team Lu to find the nine people on the list, and asked people to call Geng Shao.

When everyone arrived, Team Lu didn't know what was going on, but he didn't want to ask too much.

Including Geng Shao, ten brave men of the White Tiger Battalion stood in two rows in Qin Xiao's tent.

Everyone is burly, strong and powerful, although Qin Xiao is a riding school, but after all, he is not yet twenty years old, and he is a little shorter than these people, standing in front of these people, it is quite incongruous.

But everyone present looked respectful.

For the soldiers of Datang, they never care about your background, they don't care about your appearance, they only care about whether you have the strength or not.

The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the martial spirit is rooted in the blood of every Tang person.

Although today's Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the heyday of that year, the strength of the Tang Army, which dominated all countries in the world, is still the pride that cannot be dissipated in the hearts of every Tang people.

There is only one way to gain a foothold in the army and win the support of the officers and soldiers, and that is to have military merits, which are better than everything.

If Qin Xiao has admired the soldiers by lifting the Zhenhu Stone and taming the Black Overlord, then the merits of this encirclement and suppression of Ding Zixiu are enough to make the soldiers awe-inspired.

Geng Shao and the others did not have the slightest contempt and disrespect because Qin Xiao was young, straight as a gun, tall as a pine.

"There's one thing that needs people." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I haven't been in the barracks for a long time, and I don't know who the real elite is, so I asked Geng Shao to help me choose, and he gave me a list, which is the name of the nine of you, so at least in Geng Shao's heart, you are the strongest warriors in the White Tiger Battalion." ”

Geng Shao's expression remained unchanged, but everyone else glanced at Geng Shao, and there was more or less a trace of gratitude in their eyes.

Geng Shao used to be a riding school of the Fire Word Ride, and he had outstanding ability, and he did have a very high prestige in the Fire Word Ride.

Although he was defeated by Qin Xiao that night, many people admired Qin Xiao, but they did not lower their respect for Geng Shao, and Geng Shao was transferred to the horse feed field, and many soldiers felt unhappy for him in their hearts.

The nine of them heard that Geng Shao selected them, and that was the greatest affirmation of the previous riding school, and they were naturally very grateful in their hearts.

"But don't get this out when you turn around." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "If others know, they will definitely complain about Geng Shao in their hearts, and Geng Shao will not be able to be a man outside." ”

Everyone was suddenly summoned, and they didn't know what was going on, and they were still a little nervous, but when they heard Qin Xiao say this, they all immediately laughed, and even Geng Shao, who was not smiling, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly relaxed.

Some people think that although this Wang Riding School is young, it is really sophisticated, and one sentence can eliminate everyone's nervousness.

They naturally didn't know that Qin Xiao had seen a lot of characters from three religions and nine streams in Jiazijian, and he had far more insight than his peers in terms of human affairs.

"As I said, there's one thing that needs to be done and it's going to be away for a long time." Qin Xiao's face became serious: "This trip will definitely not be smooth sailing, and I won't tell you where you are going now, if any of you don't want to go, you can say it now." ”

Everyone raised their heads, and Geng Shao finally spoke: "Riding school, these brothers, riding and archery skills are all outstanding in the battalion, and they all have extraordinary courage, no matter whether they go up the knife mountain or down the sea of fire, I believe that as long as the riding school gives an order, they will not blink their eyes." ”

"I would like to be sent by the riding school!" Nine people fell to one knee at the same time

Earth.

Qin Xiao smiled: "Get up." Since Geng Shao said so, there would be no mistake. But don't be too nervous, we may get into trouble, but it's not guaranteed. And if something really happens, I'm just afraid that provoking our opponent will really be in trouble, and the people of our White Tiger Camp are not vegetarians. ”

Everyone got up, and when they heard Qin Xiao say this, their morale was greatly boosted.

"In addition to getting to know you, there are some things to explain to you." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "Everyone must take care of each other on this trip, once they encounter trouble, everyone must obey Geng Shao's command, in case of emergency, except for Geng Shao, I can not listen to my words." ”

Geng Shao was taken aback and said, "My lord, you .....!" ”

"You can pick them out of so many people, and you know their merits." Qin Xiao said: "You have been with them for a longer time, you know how to make them cooperate tacitly, to be honest, let me move stones and tame horses, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up with me, but if you want to command the battle, I can't match the horses and Geng Shao." ”

Geng Shao's lips moved, he knew that Qin Xiao said this, it was really enough to give himself face.

can make these soldiers obey their own commands in case of emergency, which shows Qin Xiao's trust in him, and he couldn't tell what he felt for a while, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "The villain takes the order." ”

The other people were surprised, secretly thinking that Geng Shao was no longer a cavalry school, or even a formal soldier, but Qin Xiao wanted to obey his orders, but they were already very respectful to Geng Shao in their hearts, and the military order could not be violated.

"I don't know when I'll leave yet." Qin Xiao thought for a moment, "But it's just a matter of the past two days." Geng Shao, you take a few of them to find a secluded place to train alone, sharpen their guns in battle, and if they are not happy, remember, don't mention this matter to others. ”

Everyone said yes.

In fact, in the hearts of everyone, they are full of expectations for this trip.

Although it was a cavalry formed by the Yuwen family, the White Tiger Battalion was still nominally a cavalry of the Tang Empire, and ordinary soldiers were also honored to be the cavalry of the empire.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are proud of killing the enemy in battle, which is the pride rooted in their bones.

Although the training of the White Tiger Battalion is strict, in the land of Xiling, there are not many opportunities to really let this ace cavalry shoot, which also makes the opportunity for the soldiers to make meritorious contributions is very rare.

This time, I was able to be ordered by the riding school and had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and everyone was really excited in their hearts.

After Geng Shao led the people to retreat, the sky had already darkened, Qin Xiao stretched his waist, and was about to go over and ride the Black Overlord to run a few laps, when he suddenly heard Team Lu saying outside the tent: "Report to the riding school, someone from the camp gate came to report, and one person said that there was an urgent matter to ask to see the riding school." ”

"In a hurry?" Qin Xiao was stunned: "What person?" ”

"A man with five big and three thick." Team Lu said rightly: "That person claims to be surnamed Chen, and he is a good friend of the riding school, do you want to see the riding school?" ”

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that Chen Zhitai was really soulless, and he actually ran to the barracks.

"Riding school?" I didn't hear Qin Xiao return to the camp, and Team Lu was shouting again.

Qin Xiao really didn't want to deal with that upside-down guy, knowing that he couldn't have anything urgent, and was about to refuse, but he thought that Chen Zhitai's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he refused to let him in, and he might not leave immediately, the key was that the guy was full of big words, if he didn't leave outside the camp gate, I don't know what unreliable things he would say at that time.

"You bring him here." Qin Xiao commanded, thinking that it was useless to be polite to Chen Zhitai, so he wanted to scare him and make him dare not come over in the future.

After a while, I heard Chen Zhitai's voice outside the tent: "Thank you brother for leading the way, you are really good, me."

It's like meeting you at first sight, it's really like-minded, if you don't mind, let's go back and burn yellow paper to worship the handle? ”

"I'll talk about it later." Team Lu's voice came: "Third master, the master of the riding school is waiting for you in the tent, don't let the adult wait for a long time." ”

"Yes, Brother Lu, I'll get down to business first, and I'll have a good chat with you after I'm done with the riding school." Chen Zhitai said in a loud voice.

Qin Xiao had to admit that this Chen Zhitai was really familiar, no matter what kind of stranger he met, he could make it look like an old acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time in the shortest possible time.

From the camp gate to here, although there is also some distance, it will not let Team Lu scream one by one.

Qin Xiao suddenly felt that this Chen Zhitai was not useless, at least his bragging skills sometimes really made people who didn't know the inside story believe it.

Immediately, I heard Team Lu's voice: "My lord, Chen Zhitai brings it!" ”

"Let him in!" Qin Xiao's tone was very cold.

As soon as the words fell, the tent door was opened, Chen Zhitai got in with a big head first, saw Qin Xiao, grinned, got in, and said with a smile: "Riding school, it's really fate, let's meet again." ”

Qin Xiao couldn't smile bitterly, but deliberately said with a cold face: "Why are you again?" What do you want to do? ”

"Riding school is not right." Chen Zhitai leaned closer: "I'm not dead, how can I be a yīn soul?" This time, I'm here to give a gift. Lifting a package in his hand, he smiled: "I heard that officials like antique calligraphy and paintings, you see, I bought you a few paintings." "Open the package, take out several scrolls in succession from it and put them on the table.

Qin Xiao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chen Zhitai to come to this show.

"Riding school, look, this one is, this woman is really well drawn, with big breasts and round buttocks, but unfortunately it's not a real person." Chen Zhitai said excitedly: "If it weren't for you as a gift, I would like to collect this painting myself, and this one, my lord, hey, what expression do you have, don't you like it?" ”

Qin Xiao took a deep breath and said a little helplessly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Give a gift." Chen Zhitai said: "These paintings are all given to you, it cost me a total of twenty taels of silver, riding school, I am righteous enough." ”

"You said you wanted to give me antique calligraphy and paintings?" Qin Xiao took a closer look: "The ink of these paintings has not dried, you are looking for someone to paint them?" ”

Chen Zhitai immediately said: "Yes, I'm still worried that it's too late to come over, so I've been urging it." ”

Qin Xiao sighed: "You spent twenty taels of silver on these paintings? ”

"It's true, it's not a lie." Chen Zhitai swore and said: "The old painter also said that he had not painted these paintings for decades, and he saw that he had a fate with me, so he made an exception." He said that these words were collected, and after ten or twenty years, it would be priceless. ”

"Then you can collect it yourself." Qin Xiao sat down and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Chen Zhitai was also very straightforward, sat down directly opposite Qin Xiao, and said with a smile: "You have received gifts from others, of course you have to do things for others." I thought about it, I'll listen to you, and do some chores in the camp first, but let's say okay, if there is a vacancy, you can quickly help me transfer it. ”

"Why did you figure it out again?"

Chen Zhitai looked around, leaned forward, and said mysteriously: "I found a fortune teller, he said that I will definitely be rich and rich, and said that as long as I wait patiently, I will one day be able to glorify my ancestors." Anyway, I talked a lot, just one meaning, I will definitely be able to develop in the future, but before I developed, what kind of ambition to suffer, what kind of bullshit stuff to be hungry, I can't remember, but what he said is very reasonable. Hehe smiled: "I do chores in the camp first, it should be what the fortune teller said, what to suffer first." ”
