Early in the morning, Liu Zhixing walked out of Taiping City wearing armor, and nearly 300 soldiers stationed outside the city were ready to go. Zheng Shuiji Gao Xiaolong was obviously much fatter, and more than 200 soldiers were full of oil. I haven't seen him for a few months, looking at the familiar armor, Liu Zhixing seems to have returned to Nanjing, obviously only the autumn wind, as if he heard the drums.

More than 200 people have been living too comfortably these days, and the greatest honor is that His Majesty has actually made a personal inspection today. Many people never thought that one day they would see His Majesty the Emperor, and the appearance of the Emperor brought a lot of food. The military department had all the horses in the early days, and there was no need to walk on the way back.

Liu Zhixing had already taken the documents of the Ministry of War to select a thousand war horses in the Qingzhou Horse Farm, especially the thirteenth battalion that made an inch of merit was no longer less than three thousand. The military department documents have been issued to the Changfeng Army in advance, and the thirteenth battalion will have an establishment of 5,000 people. Two thousand people will still have one thousand and five recruits, and five hundred people will be selected from the major military camps of the Changfeng Army to merge into the thirteenth battalion full of recruits. The Nanjing Arsenal is already under construction, and the construction of equipment will begin in the future. The 300,000 soldiers of Nanjing do not need to be effectively replaced because of the new and old blades, especially the construction of three granaries in Qingzhou.

In addition, the military camps of the Nanjing defenders are expanding in various places, especially in the Qingzhou garrison. Although Liu Zhixing has not yet arrived in Nanjing, he has already seen that today's Nanjing must be a new appearance, and a few years ago, the imperial court built a lot of cities on the border. Until this year, we will not add one more city, and special attention will be paid to the rectification of the army. In particular, although the Changfeng Army has not expanded its personnel, everyone has increased the intensity of training.

Only when they arrived at the barracks, more than 200 people, under the leadership of Gao Xiaolong and Zheng Shuiji, greeted the general with a military salute, and Liu Zhixing turned over and dismounted. Along the way, he had been lying on horseback with a hot stomach, and the soldiers who looked not like the border army at all reprimanded: "It's only been a few months, and they have all become pigs, and they can still afford to hold a war knife." ”

Walking up to Gao Xiaolong, the young man was much taller. With a long sword in his hand, he looked up and only knew a smirk. He kicked heavily and lowered his head and said, "It seems that Lu Lin has been practicing less swords during this time, and it is time to let Lu Lin clean you up when you go back." ”

As soon as he heard that Lu Lin was not only Gao Xiaolong, but the thirteenth battalion swordsman with less than fifty people carrying his sword was very panicked. Not to mention the general's superb swordsmanship, it is the most terrifying thing to let people practice swords. On the side, Zheng Shuiji is not under the control of Lu Lin, and the 200 people in charge of him and his brother already have the title of general, so they secretly rejoice.

Liu Zhixing turned his head to stare at Zheng Shuiji, and his face suddenly stiffened, and he didn't wait for the general to speak, Zheng Shuiji said: "The general knows that he will definitely die practicing this group of fat pigs when he goes back." ”

Still kicked by the general, Liu Zhixing said: "Just you, go back and take your people to practice arrows with Shao Jiu." Whoever doesn't practice salvo well can only be replaced. The last sentence was very loud, and there were less than two hundred people behind Zheng Shuiji who really felt terrible.

Liu Zhixing said: "Get up, I have been dismissed by His Majesty, not your general, just a small soldier, now the commander of the thirteenth battalion will be Liang Bodu, get up." The crowd looked at each other, as if they hadn't been given an order.

Yulian of the Luguo Mansion helped Xiuwen pack up her clothes, and Xiuwen, who was wearing red makeup, said, "Yulian, you really don't want to go back." ”

Packing up the package, Yulian said: "I promised Brother Zhang that I would accompany him on the scientific expedition, I am the only one in Taiping City, and I don't want to make him sad at an important time." After the end of the scientific expedition next year, Sister Wen, let's go home together. ”

Xiuwen stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Yulian's nose and said, "Got it, when you return to Huangqu, we will go home together." ”

Hearing the knock on the door, the two had already packed their packages, Lu Yu pushed open the door and said, "Xiuwen is not too early, it's time to go, where should the second son have been rectified." ”

As the three of them walked out of the yard, Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhixing's sister-in-law walked together, and said: "Xiao Yu takes care of Zhixing more on the road, and he is in trouble at home, and I don't know if I will kill my son on the road." ”

After breakfast in the morning, Liu Zhixing hurriedly felt the barracks after saying goodbye to his mother, and as for the clothes, Xia Er had already packed them and put them in the carriage. Lu Yu held the sword that he had carried with him for many years in his hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it's good if the second son doesn't bully people." He is already the commander of the first army, and there is nothing to worry about. On the way, the nephew will urge the second son to practice swordsmanship, at least nothing will happen until he reaches Huangqu. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded lightly and followed the two out of the mansion, Xiuwen put the package in the carriage and said, "Auntie, let's go, take care of your body." ”

I like Xiuwen very much, but Liu Zhixing doesn't seem to care so much about this girl. At that time, they all had the intention of marrying two sons at once, and they were all sisters who knew each other well, and there would be no fighting. said: "Xiuwen often comes when he is free." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao trotted over and shouted, "Sister Wen, remember to bring the latest spices when you come back." ”

Xiuwen promised to Mrs. Liu, and said to Liu Xiaoxiao dotingly: "Sister Wen will definitely research better spices, and only give Xiaoxiao and not others." Liu Xiaoxiao still opened his throat and said, "Remember to only give it to Xiaoxiao." ”

Lu Yu packed up the carriage, the groom was ready to set off, said a few words to Mrs. Liu, walked to Yulian and said: "It's okay if you don't go back, take the shop and sit down, watch more and learn more, where will the second brother say about my mother, remember to go home early." ”

Hearing that Yulian was going home, her eyes were moist, although she had not been in the Lu family for a long time, she was already home. I didn't want to think of home for a long time, and it turned out that I also had a home in Huangqu. Yulian bowed her head and said, "Second brother." Lu Yu rubbed Yulian's head and said, "Let's go, don't you have to go outside the city to give you a ride." ”

Mrs. Liu watched the carriage leave with a sour heart, and always felt that her eldest son Liu Zhiming would serve outside. I never thought that the eldest son, who had been away for less than a year, returned to Taiping and never left, and the younger son went back and forth several times, this time he was at home for the longest time, and now he feels empty when he leaves.

Lin Zhong, who was lightly armed at the gate of the city, followed the two guards, who were extremely strangers. He had never seen these two people in the half month he had been with Lin Zhong, and Yang Chen took Yang Luo to stand aside and say something to Lin Zhong. A carriage came at the gate of the city, and Lin Zhong kept waving.

Walking a few steps quickly, he lifted the curtain without hesitation, and suddenly a sword was in his throat, and Lin Zhong was stunned on the spot. The two guards immediately pulled out their swords and unsheathed them and did not appear beside Lin Zhong in one vertical step, Yang Chen's eyes were blazing, he couldn't imagine that there were such masters by Lin Zhong's side, and the kung fu of the two of them was not weaker than himself. I'm afraid there are few opponents in the army, so it's normal to think about it. Although the Lin family in Shuzhong was not born, Lin Zhong was a military general of the Lin family after all, how could there not be a few masters around him.

Seeing Lin Zhong waving his hand, the two retreated, and Yang Luo saw Lu Yu, who was holding the sword, running forward and calling out to the master affectionately. Xiuwen lifted the curtain and said, "Lin Zhong, get away." ”

Lu Yu felt very interesting when he saw the chubby Lin Zhong, and he had also heard of this Chu army who had led three thousand cavalry troops to break into the interior of Daliang. If it weren't for Yulian Xiuwen saying a lot of things about Lin Zhong, I couldn't imagine that a young general who would never retreat would be like this.

said: "Lin Zhong dares to bully my little sister again, believe it or not, I will give you a sword there." Frightened, Lin Zhong kept saying good things, Yang Chen said a few words, and Yang Luo got into the carriage. Lu Yu rode a horse and talked to Yang Chen about some business matters, and Lin Zhong also wanted to get close to the carriage and say a few words to Xiuwen. But Lu Yu's eyes Lin Zhong was scared in his heart, he had a feeling just now, even if the two guards shot at the same time and added himself, Lu Yu wanted to kill people, and he could even get out easily.

Along the way, the three girls in the carriage said interesting things, Yang Luo has never been to the south since he was so old. The beautiful south is full of illusions, but the land south of the Yangtze River is all returned to Nanchu. Thinking about what Nan Chu would look like in the further south, Yulian was still struggling with one thing in her heart, but she had never told anyone what she thought in her heart.

Ten miles out of Taiping City, a team of chariots and horses appeared in front. Dozens of luxurious carriages, a convoy of hundreds of people. The young man in white squinted his eyes in the autumn wind, and three ladies stood beside him. It seems that this convoy is waiting for itself, and it is not far Lin Zhong Yang Chen galloped away on horseback. The two horses circled around the white-clothed boy, and Zheng Yarong didn't feel anything. The other two concubines were very disgusted by the two teenagers' practices, and Xiao Ming was also the king of Jin no matter what he said.

The carriage came over, and Yulian got out of the carriage and said, "The folk girl has seen the princess. Xiuwen followed behind and also shouted with him, and Yang Luo's smart eyes were always the three ladies of Liang Ming's brother. I still think Sister Zheng is good and approachable, but I don't want those two to be the delicate eldest lady.

Yang Chen said: "Xiao Ming's son should return to Tianshui soon, otherwise we will compare and match." ”

Xiao Ming, who was very atmospheric, never refused to compete and said: "Yang Chen, how do you compare, this king is not afraid of you, you see that there are three concubines now, you haven't gone back for five years, and it will be too late to go back." "The two side concubines don't understand what the two are talking about, Zheng Yarong knows in her heart that there will be no good thing."

Lin Zhong felt as if he didn't have anything to do with himself, and just looked back at Xiuwen and found Lu Yu's one-eye. But what the two of them said really didn't have anything to do with themselves, Yang Chen said: "Do you think that this son is a person who is afraid, go back after a while, marry ten or eight first, and then get together carefully to let the children empty your Jin Palace." ”

Suddenly, Zheng Yarong knew what the two were going to compare, that is, to have a child? I don't think there is anything to resist this group of people, but the two side concubines are red-faced, how can this kind of thing be said casually. Yulian talked to Zheng Yarong for a long time, and promised Princess Jin that she would definitely come to Jinyang as a guest when she had time in the future. Xiuwen felt that the princess didn't say anything, just a few words of greeting.

As he spoke, there were more than two hundred dusty horses galloping in front of him, the leader did not have any accessories, the rest of the fifty people were equipped with the same long sword, and the rest were complicated in their configurations.

Yang Chen and Xiao Ming saw Liu Zhixing's pro-army for the first time, and the three concubines who had never seen the border army were even more dumbfounded. Only Yang Luo showed a surprised and appreciative gaze, after all, it was Brother Xing, and Liu Zhixing, who was galloping on a horse, seemed to be a god. Especially Zheng Yarong seems to see Liu Zhixing for the first time, where he is a son who is full of nonsense.

Liu Zhixing turned over and dismounted and said proudly: "The soldiers brought out by Lao Tzu are good, but they are not comparable to the soldiers of the British government." If His Majesty agrees to the fifty swordsmen, he will be able to fight down. ”

Liu Zhixing, who felt too proud on the side, said: "Just you, brother, I will pull out a thousand people from the kamikaze camp and lie down." ”

was despised by everyone, and Xiao Ming felt for the first time that what Liu Zhixing and Lin Zhong said was not an empty word. Although he had never led the forbidden army in the army and had seen it, Liu Zhixing's army did not look like an ordinary army. Although the same number of new troops may not be able to fight with the forbidden army, everyone here is already the elite of the thirteen battalions, otherwise why would Lin Zhong say that.

Although the conversation was very lively, everyone couldn't help but feel a little lonely, Lu Yu and Yang Luo explained the next method of practicing swords, and got into the carriage. The sun is rising, and the autumn sun is still blazing. Lu Yu lifted the curtain and said, "It's time for us to go, if we don't leave, we will have lunch." ”

Only then did everyone react, Liu Zhixing Lin Zhong turned over and said, "Everyone, let's go first." ”

Xiuwen pulled Yulian and said for a long time before hurriedly getting into the carriage, the two had never been separated so far since they were children. Waving to Yulian very reluctantly, Liu Zhixing said to Yang Chen: "Yulian will work for you, remember to protect it, be careful to beat you next time we meet." ”

Yang Chen smiled slightly and didn't speak, Xiuwen and Lu Yu got into the carriage and walked slowly. Liu Zhixing smiled at Yulian and said, "Wait for me." "Don't look back and gallop with Lin Zhong.

Xiao Ming glanced at the sky and said, "Yang Chen left Taiping and went to Jinyang first." ”

"Got it, how many times have I said it." Say it casually. Zheng Yarong took Yulian's hand and said, "Go according to your own thoughts, don't think too much." Remember to play in Jinyang, my sister is waiting for you in Jinyang. ”

Yulian nodded lightly, Xiao Ming took the three concubines into the carriage and watched the convoy go away. Yang Chen said: "Sister Yulian is gone, and my brother's horse will take you back." Yang Luo glanced at the eldest brother with bad intentions, and pulled Yulian onto his horse. Although he can't ride a horse, Yang Luo's riding skills are very exquisite.

Xiao Ming and Zheng Yarong were in the same carriage, and Zheng Yarong suddenly asked, "Your Highness, will you regret leaving Taiping?" ”

Xiao Ming lifted the curtain and glanced at it and said, "I don't regret anything, I'm just a little reluctant." ”

On the way back, Yulian and Yang Luo talked a lot, but Yang Chen had nothing to say. Yulian suddenly said, "Xiaoluo, do you really want to marry Liu Zhixing?" ”

Yang Luo, who was not taboo at all, replied: "Of course, it's just the sister that Brother Xing likes, I am the county lord of Tianshui King, and there are many people who like me, and I can't be a concubine." My sister is relieved that Xiao Luo will not think much about it, and remembers to let Xiao Luo be a bridesmaid when she gets married. ”

Tsing Yi is red, and the eyebrows are black willow leaves. A slight smile was intoxicating, and Liu Zhixing's words echoed in his heart: "Wait for me." ”
