The two walked out of the camp and took a detour from Zhongning City at night, preparing to go to Heyuan Mansion.

Now Zhongning City has known that there is a large army gathered outside the city, and the people who enter the city will be strictly checked, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, he chooses to go around the city.

It's just that if you go around the city, you will have a lot of delay, and you will cross mountains and rivers, so it is not so easy to walk.

The two rode on horseback and circled westward.

"Young Master! Master! Just then, a shout came from behind him.

He looked back and saw Yang Dianfeng riding a horse and chasing after him in a hurry.

Xu Xiang waited in place, Yang Dianfeng ran to Xu Xiang, turned over and dismounted, and said breathlessly, "Young master, I'm here." ”

"What are you doing here?" Xu Xiang asked puzzledly, it seemed that he was going to Heyuan Mansion and did not tell the people in Huanghetan Town.

In the past few days since he came back, he has been taking care of Jiang Shenyu, and he hasn't been to see the Yellow River Beach, and no one has mentioned anything about it, but he hasn't bothered him, presumably the things on the Yellow River Beach should go well.

"The young lady sent Xu Yi to Huanghetan Town, saying that the young master was going to Heyuan Mansion to support His Majesty, so he ordered his subordinates to come and support."

Xu Xiang dismounted and asked, "What do you support?" Your task now is to do a good job in Huanghetan Town, you go to Heyuan Mansion with me, what should I do in Huanghetan Town? ”

"Young master, now the Yellow River Beach Town is under construction according to your vision, and it is going very smoothly. Leave everything to Fu Shaoyou, there is no problem. Moreover, I came this time, and I brought 2,000 people with me, and they walked and arrived very quickly. ”

"You brought 2,000 men?" Xu Xiang frowned, "You brought people from Huanghetan Town here?" What's the use of them coming? ”

"Uh...... Young master, you misunderstood, the two thousand people I brought over are all patrols in the town, and they have been trained by the eight classics, and the Wei father and son in the blacksmith shop have already created weapons and armor, you will know when you see it! Yang Dianfeng explained.

"I remember, the patrol was only two hundred, right? How can there be so many? He asked very suspiciously, after He Yuanxuan, the bandit of Crooked Mouth Mountain, surrendered, he ordered the formation of a patrol, and at that time, only forty qualified bandits were retained, plus one hundred and sixty strong men selected from the towns, and the entire patrol was only two hundred.

"Before you left Ningdu, after you settled the displaced people from Xuanwumen and other city gates to Huanghetan Town, there was chaos. Most of those displaced people were soldiers who had fled from the two cities of Jinchang and Camellia You, who did not produce and often had conflicts with the patrols. Yang Dianfeng explained again, "At that time, my subordinates were busy with the construction of the Yellow River beach, and they didn't come up with any better way for a while, so they asked the young lady for help. ”

Later, I don't know what the young lady talked to them, but nearly 3,000 people were selected to join the patrol, and the others obeyed the arrangement very obediently and engaged in labor. These 3,000 people eventually became the garrison of our Yellow River Tan Town. I haven't had time to tell you about this yet. ”

"These 3,000 people only serve the young lady, and when they usually train, it was the young lady who sent Miss Qin'er to supervise them before they settled down. After the young lady had an accident, they were still clamoring to rush into Ningdu to rescue the young lady, but fortunately, the light spirit girl suppressed them. ”

"Therefore, this time, the young lady specially wrote to the light girl, asking her to bring two thousand people to support you, and the remaining more than one thousand people stayed in Huanghetan Town."

Xu Xiang nodded, it turned out that this was the case.

Before he left Ningdu, he handed over everything to Jiang Shenyu to manage, and it seemed that she not only did a very good job, but also far exceeded her expectations.

This gave him a new understanding of Jiang Shenyu, all along, in his eyes, Jiang Shenyu was just a good girl, but he didn't expect the imperial soldiers to have such a hand.

"When I went to Heyuan Mansion this time, the situation was more difficult than I imagined. You just said that they only serve sunken fish, what if they don't? He said with some concern that he had never seen these people himself, and that the training had only been for a month, and that they were not so obedient to orders.

This time he went to Heyuan Mansion, he had to pass through several cities, and if he took these two thousand people with him, he would have to climb mountains and wade through rivers, and it would be impossible for him to go through the city.

If these people don't obey, then they will be exposed. This is not a good result for Xu Xiang.

"Young master, don't worry, the light girl can also control them." Yang Dianfeng said with an oath.

"Everything will be said when I see them." Xu Xiang still shook his head, although he was able to bring two thousand people over and could play a certain role. However, when marching and fighting, the most important thing is to prohibit the order, if they don't obey their orders, everything has to rely on You Qingling, or move out Jiang Shenyu to convey it, then he would rather not bring these people.

About an hour later, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard in the darkness, and judging by the sound and neatness of the steps, it was a well-trained team.

He couldn't help but be a little curious about the patrol in the Yellow River Beach Town.

The three horsemen who walked in the front, in the middle were You Qingling, who was wearing a chivalrous leather armor, and had a long sword pinned to his waist. On the left is Xu Yi, and on the right is a man he has never seen.

The man was wearing a silver-white armor, a dark green helmet, and a pear flower spear, which was completely different from the armor worn by the soldiers outside now, and he recognized it as the armor made by the iron and steel process forged by the Wei father and son.

Behind them, there were ten neat soldiers, dressed not much different from the man, the five on the left were holding spears, holding their heads high, looking full of morale, and the five on the right were walking like strong, with long knives at their waists, and they were also full of energy.

Behind the five soldiers on the left and right were a team of snakes, also armed with guns and crotch knives, walking in order.

"Stop!" The man on horseback on the right raised his left hand and ordered.

Then, the sound of footsteps stopped instantly, and the soldiers immediately stopped, without making any more sound.

Judging from their steps and neatness, Xu Xiang felt that this mental outlook and military discipline were on par with the Minzhou Army in the East China Sea that he had seen before, but it was unknown how capable he was.

"Young Master!" The three people in the front row reined in their horses, turned over and got down, and saluted Xu Xiang.

"Get up." Xu Xiang's right hand was raised slightly, motioning for them to get up.

You Qingling and the man got up, but Xu Yi was still kneeling on the ground, "Xu Cheng knows that he has made a big mistake by listening to others this time, please allow Xu Cheng to go out with the army and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Xu Xiang was slightly moved, the last time Xu Cheng cut himself to show his innocence, he had already forgiven him.

Although Xu Yi has been recuperating from his injuries these days, he has not fully recovered, and he has wanted to see himself many times, but he has refused on the grounds of taking care of Jiang Shenyu.

Unexpectedly, this time he actually followed the patrol here.

Xu Yi sent a letter to the Yellow River Beach, which must have been arranged by Jiang Shenyu, the purpose was to let Xu Cheng do something to win Xu Xiang's forgiveness.

I can't help but admire Jiang Shenyu's delicate thoughts.

It's just that they don't know that they have subdued Ma Shouxin, the culprit, and he no longer blames Xu Yi. It's just that he didn't show it.

Remembering that Xu Yi's injuries had not yet recovered, Xu Xiang said, "Get up, you still have injuries on your body, so I won't take you over this time." ”

Hearing this, Xu Yi's whole person felt like he was about to collapse, and said tremblingly, "Young Master, are you still unwilling to forgive me?" ”

"Xu Yi, this matter has passed. I don't blame you anymore, your injuries are not healed, so let's wait until you recover from your injuries before following me. ”

"No, the subordinates only want to do something for the young master. A little injury is nothing, please promise the young master to take me on the expedition! Xu Yi said stubbornly.

Xu Xiang sighed, "Alas...... Why are you suffering? I don't blame you, when you recover, I'll arrange for you to do other things! ”

Now he really lacks people who can make him believe, and he also plans to start forming his own intelligence department, Xu Yi was born in the Spark Hidden Guard, he is indeed loyal to himself, and he is a good candidate to train intelligence officers.

"Young master, you can take Xu Yi with you. This time, Xu Cheng really knows that he is wrong, give him a chance......" Yang Dianfeng persuaded him, they still think in their hearts that Xu Xiang has not forgiven Xu Cheng now, so they will refuse.

And the relationship between Yang Dianfeng and Xu Yi has always been good, so he wants to help.

"Okay, I'll take you. But all your actions must be under my command! Xu Xiang reluctantly agreed, when the time came, let Xu Cheng follow him, serve tea and water for himself, and he would not send him out until he was sure that his injuries were fully recovered.

"Thank you, young master! The subordinates must obey all the orders of the young master! will definitely not live up to the trust of the young master! Xu Yi was overjoyed and said gratefully, and his eyes also glanced at Yang Dianfeng, casting a trace of gratitude.

"Girl, thank you for your hard work. Who is this? Xu Xiang walked over, smiled at You Qingling, and then turned his gaze to the man.

"Oh, young master, let me introduce you. This is the deputy captain of our patrol team, Jing Shujing, who was previously the deputy captain of the rangers of the Chayou City garrison. Yang Dianfeng walked over and introduced.

"Subordinate Jing Shu has seen the young master!" The man said respectfully.

Xu Xiang nodded slightly, it seems that Jing Shu is the key to the two thousand patrols.

Since Xu Xiang's official position is now only a household order, and his official rank is only the seventh grade, he can barely be regarded as a civil official of the Eight Classics of Great Xia.

Civilian officials have no military power, except when they enter the battlefield and serve as military supervisors.

The Yellow River Beach Town is Xu Xiang's private property, and the patrol team in the town is of a protective nature, and it is impossible to get the number of the army.

Therefore, Jing Shu cannot have an official title now, and can only call himself a "subordinate".

"Well, that's good. Energetic! Xu Xiang said appreciatively. Then he patted Jing Shu lightly on the shoulder, "You just brought them here, do they know where they are going?" ”

It was late now, and he could imagine that the soldiers of the patrol had probably been woken up from their sleep, packed their bags, and hurried over. I don't even know where they're going, what they're doing!

"My subordinates didn't tell them for the time being."

Xu Xiang shook his head, "That's not good, if you don't even know where they are going, what they are going to do, and what they have to face, how can you bring good soldiers?" ”

Jing Shu smiled wryly, "Actually...... In fact, the subordinates are not very clear. It's just that the young lady sent Brother Xu over and said let's support the young master, so ......"

Xu Xiang was speechless for a while, and Xu Yi didn't explain the situation to him, so Jing Shu ran over with people in a hurry.

"You didn't bring much food, did you?" Xu Xiang looked at the two thousand people, and it seemed that there was no baggage behind them, except for a water bladder on his waist, these patrol people didn't seem to be making any preparations.

"We brought a day's rations and water, which should be enough." Jing Shu said.

“……”

"Lao Yang, you go find Qin Zhiwei and borrow her two hundred heavy soldiers, two hundred tents, and two thousand people's rations for a month." Xu Xiang said helplessly, and then said to Jing Shu, "Let the soldiers rest in place!" ”

The patrol team had lived in the town of Huanghetan before, so naturally they did not need to go on the expedition, and only the occasional escort team carrying supplies in the town would carry tents, so they naturally did not bring tents for field camps.

"Rest in place!" After Jing Shu gave the order, the warriors who had been running over finally sat down to rest.

When Yang Dianfeng borrowed the supplies, he let them camp in place.

He may not be able to leave tonight, the quality of these two thousand people is not bad, and he thinks that it may be helpful to take it with him.

However, it is impossible to bring it over like this, and unprepared soldiers are only sent to death when they are brought into the battlefield.

"Jing Shu, order the gathering, I want to say a few words to them!" Xu Xiang saw that he was almost busy, so he instructed Jing Shu.

Hearing the order to assemble, the fighters quickly gathered together.

Except for the two hundred heavy soldiers who borrowed from Qin Zhiwei who were cooking, everyone else was standing on top of the clearing.

Xu Xiang walked up to a makeshift platform, and a bonfire was lit on the left and right sides of the platform, illuminating the entire camp.

Xu Xiang looked at the faces below, cleared his throat, opened his mouth, and the first thing he said was: "Are you sleepy?" ”

No one below responded, and there was no sound.

Xu Xiang looked at Jing Shu embarrassedly, the latter's face was a little unbearable, and he yelled angrily at the audience: "The young master asked you if you are sleepy!" ”

"Not sleepy!"

"Not sleepy!"

"Sleepy!" In the midst of the "not sleepy" sound, there were also a few scattered voices, which made the people around them look unkindly.

The few people who said they were sleepy immediately realized that something was wrong and added, "Not sleepy!" ”
