Chapter 236: Secret Discussion
Chen Zhitai immediately said: "I, Chen Zhitai, have made a promise and will never break my word." ”
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are a few empty formations in the camp, if you really want to, I can put you into the Fire Character Ride." ”
"Really?" Chen Zhitai was overjoyed.
Although he is already familiar with the stable, the groom in the stable is not the official White Tiger Camp after all, and being able to enter the White Tiger Camp is something that many people dream of, Chen Zhitai was very excited when he heard that Qin Xiao was going to officially integrate himself into the camp.
"What I said, where is the falsehood?" Qin Xiao said: "Are you willing?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Zhitai nodded again and again: "Lord Riding School, from now on, I will be your most loyal subordinate, you let me go east, I will never go west, you let me kill, I will never set fire." ”
Qin Xiao said: "Okay, in the future, you will be my personal attendant and help me guard the big tent." Chen Zhitai, let's talk about it first, as long as I am in the tent, you will honestly stand guard outside for me, I will not go out of the tent for a day, you will keep watch for a day, if I go out, you can go to rest by yourself, can you understand? ”
Chen Zhitai was stunned: "Riding school, don't you go out for three days, and I won't eat or sleep for three days?" ”
"You can say no." Qin Xiao said: "I'll find out if anyone else is willing to do this errand." Before leaving, Chen Zhitai grabbed Qin Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "Listen to you, my lord, I will guard the tent for you in the future, with me guarding the door, Hades Laozi will not be able to enter the big tent." ”
Qin Xiao didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left, and returned to his tent.
Since leaving the customs and returning to Xiling today, Qin Xiao has really not been steady, his spirit has been tense, and he returned to the tent and fell asleep.
I slept in the dark, and I didn't get up until noon the next day, feeling refreshed and feeling comfortable all over my body.
He took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, which amounted to more than 300,000 taels, Qin Xiao believed that in the entire White Tiger Camp, he was already the richest man.
However, it is really inconvenient to put the 300,000 taels of silver on his body, but he is even more worried about receiving it elsewhere.
He took the silver ticket back into his arms, took the Blood Demon Knife in his hand, pulled it out of its sheath, and a cold air came to his face.
This time, although there were many difficulties, after all, there was no danger, but he came back safe and sound, and he also got more than 300,000 taels of silver and a peerless sword.
Feeling a little hungry in his belly, he came out of the tent, and immediately a voice on the side said, "Master Riding School, are you awake?" Turning his head, he saw that it was Chen Zhitai with a flattering face, smiling like a flower on his face.
Unlike others, although Chen Zhitai also wore armor that did not fit well, he had two axes hanging from his waist, and he was also majestic with his head and chest high.
"I'm hungry, go get some food." Qin Xiao commanded.
"Yes!" Chen Zhitai immediately ran to get food.
After eating lunch, Qin Xiao practiced the [Taigu Yi Qi Technique] in the camp, these days have been in his body, and he has not practiced well, and the Wutuo party has made him understand that with a strong kung fu, it is possible to escape death when he is in a desperate situation.
He is naturally clear about the luck method of [Taigu Yi Qi Formula].
The little aunt helped him break through the second grade, but to reach the third grade, he didn't know the year of the monkey.
However, after eating red fruits in the mountains, and then practicing the [Taigu Yi Qi Technique], Qin Xiao felt that the dantian was full of breath, which was not the same as when he was in Turtle City.
Chi Guo and the [Ancient Qi Technique] made Qin Xiao feel that his body seemed to be reborn.
After a few vicious battles, he can truly experience the rapid improvement of his strength.
Half a year ago, he was in Turtle City, but he was just a little jailer, and when he moved, he was not even the opponent of those yacha.
After the [Ancient Meaning Qi Technique] gave him strength, his five senses were rapidly improved, and in addition, Chiguo made his strength, speed and reflexes have been unbelievably improved, these are not enough, the training of the ape father-in-law has made him very experienced in the skills of fighting the enemy.
Qin Xiao even thought that if it weren't for the training of his father-in-law, he would have died outside the gate long ago.
He even thought about going back to the mountains to visit again.
As for the point point kung fu taught by Shen Yaoshi, Qin Xiao knew that it was not as simple as a point point, and he could hurt people with his strength, and the so-called point point kung fu was naturally an extremely powerful martial art, but it was a pity that although Shen Yao Shi taught him this kung fu at the beginning, he didn't explain much, and the strength hurt people only once in the Broken Sky Castle, and he practiced hundreds of times since then, and never succeeded again.
Qin Xiao's previous experience made him have stronger patience than ordinary people.
In the next few days, in addition to going out of the tent to practice horseback riding and archery, Qin Xiao returned to the tent to practice the [Taigu Yi Qi Technique], and he had to practice acupoint kung fu hundreds of times a day.
The energy is transported from the dantian to the fingertips, and it is already extremely proficient, which can be said to be the qi from the mind, but the strength can never break out of the fingers.
A few days later, Geng Shao returned to the camp with several soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion.
The caravan was crowded and walked slowly, several days slower than Yuwen Chengchao's party.
After Geng Shao returned to the camp, Qin Xiao immediately asked Yuan Shangyu for a military order, and Geng Shao was incorporated into the fire horse.
But Geng Shao didn't care about it.
For Geng Shao, joining the army is really not for any fame and fortune, but for the hope that one day he can fight with the Vedos on the battlefield, so as to avenge the revenge of the Vedos slaughtering the village back then.
Qin Xiao had promised to let him return to the camp before, but now that he had achieved it, he didn't say anything, but he was quite grateful in his heart.
When Qin Xiao practiced horseback archery on the school grounds, he also brought Chen Zhitai to practice together.
Chen Zhitai's strength can be regarded as the best in the White Tiger Battalion, but his actual combat ability is ordinary, picking up two big axes and wielding them, he can really bluff people, but as long as someone finds a flaw, he can easily subdue him.
Qin Xiao not only asked Chen Zhitai to practice horseback archery every day, but also let his subordinates have experienced soldiers to fight against him, improving Chen Zhitai's ability to fight.
When Chen Zhitai fell into the grass, although he was only a third-in-command, he was also at ease, even if he was doing things in the stable, because he claimed to be Qin Xiao's sworn brother, and the groom in the stable was also waiting for him, and he had always lived a comfortable life.
Now he has become Qin Xiao's personal entourage, not only has to stand guard, but also has to practice in the school field every day, which is unbearable, and he has proposed to Qin Xiao several times not to participate in the drill, but as soon as Qin Xiao brought out the military regulations, Chen Zhitai was helpless.
He was originally quite stout, and in ten days, he had lost a lot of weight, but he was much stronger than before.
A few days later, it was October 15, Yuan Shangyu asked Qin Xiao to go over, and said, "The old marquis asked us to go back to the city and explain something." "Don't say much, bring a few personal soldiers, the two of them went straight to Fengganfu City, to Dehou Mansion, this time it is rare to see Yuwen Chengchao waiting, seeing the two, said with a smile: "Commander Yuan, Wang Qixiao, father is waiting for you, follow me." The two of them were taken to a quiet courtyard in the Hou Mansion, and when they entered the house, they saw that the old Marquis Yuwen was talking to the white shopkeeper sitting on the chair.
The two stepped forward to pay their respects, and the old marquis motioned for the two to sit down, and after a while, Yuwen Chengchao and Uncle Meng also entered
When he came to the house, Qin Xiao saw that several important figures of the Yuwen family were present, and knew that things were not simple.
At dusk, the door of the house was closed, and it was quite dim inside, but the old marquis did not let people light the lamp.
There was silence in the room for a while, the atmosphere was quite depressing, Qin Xiao sat still, and after a while, he finally heard the voice of the old marquis: "Qin Xiao!" ”
Qin Xiao subconsciously agreed, but then his face changed slightly, and Uncle Meng also changed color over there.
Qin Xiao's external identity is just called Wang Xiao, at this time, the old marquis suddenly called out the word "Qin Xiao", Qin Xiao subconsciously responded, obviously things are not good, Qin Xiao was shocked, Yuan Shangyu also frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Qin Xiao.
"Old marquis......!" Qin Xiao stood up stiffly, wanting to say something, but knew that it was best not to say anything at this time.
"The Zhen family's wanted warrant, the old man has seen it." The old marquis glanced at Qin Xiao and said slowly: "You don't have to be nervous, if I were to hand you over to the Zhen family, you would have already become a prisoner of the order, and it would be impossible for you to sit here today." ”
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Old Marquis, I'm ..... I didn't mean to deceive, I did..... It's really life-threatening, I have to do this, and I ask the old marquis to surrender his guilt! "I thought that what the old Marquis Yuwen said was not wrong, since he already knew his identity, if he wanted to hand himself over, he would not wait until today.
And because of those two secret letters, the Yuwen family already regarded the Zhen family as an enemy, and at this time, it was naturally impossible to hand them over.
"The Yuwen family can have today, in addition to the ancestors of Yinde, they have always been important talents." The old marquis said slowly: "As long as he can have the same heart with the Yuwen family, the Yuwen family will also give him the opportunity to show his talents, and he will never be suspicious because of his background." Qin Xiao, this trip to the Vedas, if it weren't for your cleverness and bravery, things might have gotten worse. He took out two letters from his sleeve and said, "These are two secret letters found from the Veda Begging Mansion, and Jing Zhai and I have determined that these two letters are true and evidence of the collusion between the Zhen family and the Vedas. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shangyu changed color in horror, and the expressions of the others were quite calm, after all, only Yuan Shangyu knew nothing about this matter among the people present.
"The content of the letter is very simple, the Zhen family has taken refuge in the Vedic people, and wants to use Xiling as a gift for him to be crowned king, and sell Xiling to the Vedic people." The old marquis said lightly: "Brother Nalu Sheng started from the name of Khan, although he waved his army westward, but his eyes have been staring at the east, the White Wolf King was originally the biggest obstacle to Brother Nalu Sheng, but this time he was poisoned, although the White Wolf Department Ke Dun wants to control the situation of the White Wolf Department, but in the old man's estimation, Ke Dun will never be Brother Na Lu Sheng's opponent." ”
Yuan Shangyu frowned and said, "Old Marquis, could it be that the Wutuo people are about to advance eastward?" ”
"They won't be able to beat them for a while." The old marquis said: "The White Wolf Department has enjoyed the benefits of trade between the two sides for many years, and many Vedic nobles are still unwilling to start a war lightly, before Brother Nalu Sheng controls the White Wolf Department, these people will also support Kedun and let Brother Nalu Sheng fight, but it will not be too long." Even if Ke Dun fails, it will take time for Brother Nalu Sheng to control the White Wolf Department, plus the integration of the eight departments and the gathering of troops and horses to advance eastward, the old man estimates that it will take at least more than a year. ”
"Old Marquis, for more than a year, it's not short, it's not long." Yuan Shangyu said: "We must prepare early, recruit troops with grain, strengthen the city, and not repeat the mistakes of sixteen years ago." ”
"Shang Yu has a point." The old marquis said: "But we all know very well in our hearts, don't say that the Zhen family has taken refuge in the Wutuo people, even if the three major families of Xiling work together, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Wutuo Iron Cavalry, if you want to keep Xiling, you can only rely on the Tang Army!" ”
