Dozens of miles southeast of Tiandu Peak, there is a forest with a large area.

The moonlight is like water, and the whole forest is like a giant beast coiled on the earth, quietly waiting to devour everything in the world.

On a quiet cold night, there was silence around the woods, but if you listened carefully, you found that there was an uneasy commotion in the silence.

The woods are like a giant beast waiting for an opportunity, but the surface is as calm as the windless water, but under it, there are stormy waves, which can rush out at any time, and will sweep everything on the surface of the sea into the bottom of the sea from which it will never recover.

Hundreds of soldiers lay silently in ambush in the forest, motionless, sculptural.

The soldiers were all in armor, and the armor made of fine iron was cold.

Qin Xiao was in the forest.

Late last night, Yuan Shangyu commanded the elite cavalry of the White Tiger Battalion, almost poured out, like a ghost, came to this forest, and then all the people and horses hid in this wood, and after a day, there was no sound in the forest.

From the first day of its creation, the White Tiger Battalion was not a rabble, but an orderly elite iron horseman.

All the soldiers and soldiers were majestic and did not dare to move in the slightest, but the hundreds of war horses in the forest were a little uneasy and excited.

The horse bits, the people are grass, but they don't make a sound.

Ready to go, the entire forest was filled with a murderous aura.

Yuan Shangyu was standing at the edge of the forest at the moment, looking into the distance, the bright moon was in the sky, the sky and the earth were vast, his gaze was like a blade, but his expression was also cold and abnormal.

"My lord, it's just past unitary time." Deputy Commander Su Chao walked behind Yuan Shangyu and said softly.

Yuan Shangyu looked up at the moon, nodded slightly, and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole battalion will line up." Without further ado, he was the first to walk out of the woods.

They are brave and good at fighting, but they are afraid of military orders.

Hundreds of cavalry, although they were ready to attack, they did not know what the goal was.

Most cavalrymen only regarded this as a surprise training, after all, such training was not unprecedented.

These are the words that every soldier who enters the White Tiger Battalion keeps in mind.

Eight hundred tiger riders, the number is not many, to form a powerful force, you have to clench into a fist, only all the tiger riders become a fist, when you hit out, there is a terrifying destructive power.

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, although the White Tiger Battalion has also exterminated many bandits over the years, but you are the strongest cavalry in Xiling, and it is really a bit overkill to use you to kill mountain bandits." Yuan Shangyu said slowly.

Su Chao immediately sent an order, and the soldiers who had been hiding in the forest for a whole day took their horses, tried to keep quiet, and walked out of the forest, everyone's movements were very fast, just in a moment, hundreds of cavalry had already lined up, and the mountain flag had been transferred to guard the mountain sacrifice ceremony before, so the remaining wind forest fire three-character flags were lined up for a while, and Qin Xiao was in front of the fire word flag.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at Yuan Shangyu.

"When you train, you should have heard a sentence." Yuan Shangyu's voice was thick and full of energy, and he said slowly: "Once you are on the battlefield, everyone must look at the general's sword, where the general's knife is pointed, your knife will be cut towards, do not have any hesitation, otherwise you will either die under the enemy's sword, or you will die under military law." ”

"If you don't speak, no one will see you as a dumb person." Qin Xiao reprimanded in a low voice.

Chen Zhitai was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.

"That's right, it's indeed called killing chickens with a knife." Yuan Shangyu showed a smile instead: "I know that you have always wanted the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service, and to test whether you are the real strongest cavalry in Xiling, you naturally have to use tigers and wolves to practice swords." His face sank: "On the order of the marquis, I will take you to kill the rebels tonight, they are not mountain bandits, nor are they rogues, just like you, they are also elite cavalry, so it is a dragon or a dog, it depends on how you answer tonight." ”

Immediately, I heard a person behind Qin Xiao say in a rough voice: "My lord, that's called killing chickens with a knife." ”

Everyone immediately looked over, and Qin Xiao also returned

turned his head, but saw that it was the third master Chen Zhitai who spoke.

But what Yuan Shangyu said at the moment was clearly to fight the enemy with real swords and guns, and the enemy was also a cavalry.

He wondered.

In the whole Xiling, there are only three real cavalry, which is naturally the private army of the three major gate lords, in addition, there is no fourth cavalry in Xiling, and it is impossible for the three major gate lords to allow the existence of a fourth cavalry.

Su Chao, who was standing beside Yuan Shangyu, was a little surprised and glanced at Yuan Shangyu.

The plan to kill the Zhen family can be said to be extremely secretive, Yuan Shangyu did not reveal it to anyone else in the camp in advance, and in the entire White Tiger Battalion, only Yuan Shangyu and Qin Xiao knew about this plan, but Su Chao, as the deputy commander, knew nothing.

The troops were transferred to leave the camp late at night last night, and Su Chao just thought that Yuan Shangyu was going to train his troops.

Since all the cavalry was transferred this time, it can only show that the enemy facing is not a general.

"Tonight's action is not only for the old marquis, but also for the court and the people of Xiling." Yuan Shangyu said in a deep voice: "The general can promise you that after the rebels are exterminated, all of you will be rewarded heavily, and even rewarded by the imperial court, so your future is also in your hands." He pulled out the saber at his waist and said loudly: "This battle will definitely be won, get on the horse!" ”

At the sound of the order, everyone got on their horses.

Where did the elite cavalry Yuan Shangyu said come from?

This time, the White Tiger Battalion poured out, which was almost unprecedented.

The training of the White Tiger Battalion is also to go out in batches, and there is no precedent for mobilizing all the soldiers and horses, even if it is to suppress bandits, a part of them will be left in the camp, and the reason is that in order to guard against changes in Fengganfu City, the Yuwen family can transfer people from the camp at any time.

Joining the army, the original intention is to eat, when you are full, you must keep your job, and defending the country is to prevent the enemy from taking away your job from your hands.

Qin Xiao only felt that the wind was cutting his face.

For him, he really didn't care much about whether the Yuwen family could use this as an opportunity to gain the trust of the imperial court, all he cared about was that he finally had the opportunity to take down Zhen Yujiang's head in a bright and bright way tonight.

Yuan Shangyu didn't talk nonsense, turned the horse's head, shook the horse's reins, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse immediately galloped out, and hundreds of cavalry immediately followed behind Yuan Shangyu like a tide, and swept forward.

Qin Xiao galloped on his horse, and the elite soldiers of the Fire Character Banner followed closely behind.

These cavalrymen still don't know what kind of enemy they will face, but they have absolute trust in Yuan Shangyu, and the commander has always done what he says, since he said that this is to serve the imperial court, and the enemy is a rebel army, then tonight must be a thief for the country.

The Duwei Mansion has also been suppressed by the Zhen family for many years, and Meng Zimo almost died in the Zhen Marquis Mansion because of a Buddha statue.

The most important thing is that the Hu butcher's family died tragically at the hands of the Zhen family.

There are not a few people like this who have been poisoned by the Zhen family, but they are powerless to seek justice from the Zhen family.

set a trap that day and made Zhen Yujiang half dead, of course Qin Xiao would not be without murderous intentions, but Fat Yu and others were there at the time, so he naturally couldn't make a move

Homicide.

He is from the Governor's Mansion in Guicheng, has lived in Guicheng for many years, and knows how the Zhen family loots the people's fat and cream, and the people of Zhen County are afraid of the Zhen family like a tiger.

When the White Tiger Battalion galloped towards Tiandu Peak like the wind, dozens of miles southwest of Tiandu Peak, there was also a cavalry waiting for it.

They were not in the forest, but under a hillside.

Hundreds of elite soldiers are sitting on the ground, almost all of them are wearing black leather armor, but the helmet is taken off, put in front of them, their respective war horses are beside them, all of them are like old monks in the meditation, the eight winds do not move, like Mount Tai.

Tonight, Qin Xiao wants to get justice on behalf of those suffering people.

He didn't kill for the Yuwen family, but for the people.

Justice, just ahead.

The two black-clad swordsmen had already hurried up to meet them, and when the man got closer, he slowed down his horse, took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to a black-clad swordsman, who took the letter, turned around and ran towards the carriage, and when he came to ride, he turned his horse's head around and did not stop at all, and galloped away along the road he had come.

When he reached the carriage, the black-clad swordsman tapped on the window, and the wooden window of the carriage was opened, and a bright light came out of it.

The black-clad knife man handed over the letter, and a hand reached out of the window to take it.

A carriage was not far away, and seven or eight black-clothed swordsmen were holding knives with unusually stable hands according to the hilt of their swords at their waists.

The night wind blew, but hundreds of people did not move at all.

I don't know how long it was, but suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a horse galloped from the east, and the men who came in gray cloth and fur hats, and the soldiers who were sitting on the ground still did not move, not even blinking their eyelids.

The black-clothed swordsman agreed, and walked quickly towards the group of soldiers and horses at the bottom of the hillside.

"It's time to go." The black-clothed swordsman walked up to a man and said softly, "Don't arrive before three o'clock, but you must arrive before the ugly hour." ”

The man was also sitting cross-legged on the ground, dressed in black armor, with a gray cloak behind him, under the moonlight, this person was actually full of white hair, but he looked less than forty years old, and he looked handsome, and he kept his eyes closed, just waiting for the black-clothed swordsman to finish speaking, the white-haired man did not open his eyes, but bowed his head slightly.

A moment later, a voice came out of the car window: "What time is it?" ”

The black-clothed swordsman said respectfully: "Three o'clock! ”

"Tell Jiang Lengyan that as soon as the time comes, set off immediately." The voice in the car said calmly: "Don't be too fast, just arrive before the three quarters of the hour." ”

He didn't have a sword at his waist, but on the ground in front of him, there was a long sword.

This sword actually has no scabbard, and what is even more strange is that this sword has no blade, the end of the sword is straight, there is no sharpness at all, and the sword body is wide and thick, which is very different from ordinary swords, it is a heavy sword that has always been extremely strange.

The black-clothed swordsman didn't say much, and after leaving, the white-haired man raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his expression was cold and abnormal, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
