It is said that it is a barracks, but in fact it is only three thatched houses under Boxia, and I don't know which year it was repaired, and the roof is thickly covered with artemisia grass, which looks very dilapidated. Fortunately, the house is attached to the cliff wall, and the walls are still solid, which is more than enough to protect from the wind and rain. There were still about thirty paces away from the barracks, and Da Lan shouted triumphantly: "Old horse, big pimple, look what my brother has brought you back?" As if shaken by his shout, the water in the sky fell and hit him in the face with a "click". "Yo!" He looked up and saw that a few more drops of water had fallen, getting denser and denser, "This is the beginning of the rain!" ”

The rain was rapid, and a few people rushed into the house, and the rain behind them was as dense as a beaded curtain. "It's raining heavily!" Zhu Yue sighed and stretched his neck to look at Bo. In fact, he also knew that the high cliff wall blocked the view, and the lighthouse could not be seen from here. "Don't worry about the lieutenant," Wang Yimi, who was still wrapped in a black robe, walked over from the dim corner of the room and handed the city guards dry hand towels one by one, "The military academy saw that the weather was bad, so they went up early in the morning. "Hah!" Da Lan laughed, "I just said that Brother Yue is just blindly worried." One Zhang Yudi and one Hou Ni, unless it was a knife tonight, how could something happen. ”

Zhu Yue took the handkerchief handed by Wang Yimi and wiped his face: "That's right, the two of them are more than you ten or eight combined......" He paused and changed his words, "It's more reassuring than our ten or eight combined." The room exploded into laughter, and everyone understood that Zhu Yue meant something. Among the seven city guards in Bolangsha, Hou Ni is the oldest, and Zhang Yudi is the younger one. According to Hou Ni's own account, he has been in Bolangsha for 18 years. Originally, the city guard stationed at the lighthouse should be changed every two years, but he didn't change it several times by mistake, and after a long time, he simply took Bolangsha as his home and was reluctant to leave. Of course, this is his own statement. According to Da Lan's understanding, Hou Ni's head is afraid that there is a problem.

Sending troops to defend Bolangsha is a strange thing anyway. Wanzhou is heavy on water transportation, and there are many lighthouses on the coastline. In recent years, bandits have been rampant in the three seas of the land, and many lighthouses are guarded by private soldiers from all over the world. However, it is the area of the mouth of the bad water river, which is not good for water transportation, the sea conditions are complicated, and the place is barren, and the pirates refuse to come. Ever since the Castle Guard was stationed here, he had never heard of a story against bandits, not even the black sails of pirates. The first priority of the city guards has always been to solve the cravings, and then it is to gamble and fool away the boring time.

But Hou Ni is different, neither watering vegetables nor gambling, and every day he sits at the door and sharpens arrows to make mechanisms. "There are two roads in Shangbolangsha, and there are twenty-seven places where the turns are covered. If someone comes to attack, the seven of us will not be able to hold it. This is the theory that troubles Hou Ni. If it was Zhu Yue, this question would not be called a problem, "Where is there anyone to fight this bird place!" However, Hou Ni is committed to solving this problem, which is not a problem, and the solution is simple: traps.

Eighteen years in Bolangsha, he spent sixteen years laying traps, which he himself could not remember. Fortunately, Hou Ni only used some bamboo, wood and animal tendons, and those organs would rot on their own in less than two months. Otherwise, the city guards would not be able to go to Bolangsha at the moment—where can people leave without the traps that Hou Ni has set? From another point of view, this also gives Hou Ni an opportunity to show his worth. He repaired and replaced the organs of Bolangsha everywhere, and before he could repair this side, he broke it again. If no one forced him to leave, Hou Ni would probably have done this forever.

Hou Ni has been in Bolangsha for 18 years and has achieved military school. The establishment of the bluestone army, ten people and one tithe, the military academy is the leader; Ten tithes, the captain is the leader. Bolangsha's commander is the deputy lieutenant of the city guard, and it stands to reason that there should be fifty soldiers under his command, but in fact, including Zhu Yue himself, there are only seven people, where is the need for a military academy? It's just that you enjoy the money of the military school. Only Wang Yimi will respectfully call Hou Ni a military academy, who else takes Hou Ni seriously? For the city guards, waiting for Ni is first and foremost the joy of their lives. When you are bored, you can always joke with Hou Ni, who is sitting at the door sharpening arrows: "Old man, what are you doing?" ”

Hou Ni must have answered honestly: "Do it!" The city guards then asked, "Why do you want to do it?" Hou Ni replied: "There are two roads in Shangbolangsha, and there are twenty-seven places that turn and cover. If someone comes to attack, the seven of us will not be able to hold it. If you do a trap, you won't be able to get up. At this time, the city guards must have burst into laughter, and parroted and said, "No, people will not be able to come up." Hou Ni was not angry, nodded and said, "Yes, people can't come up." He continued to sharpen his arrows. However, Hou Ni's traps were not useless, and although those bamboo arrows could not deal with the soldiers in armor, they could often capture some innocent beasts, and the city guards of Bolangsha could make a few more trips. Probably because of this, no one has ever urged Hou Ni to water vegetables and feed the chickens.

When Zhu Yue first arrived in Bolangsha, he was quite uneven. But Hou Ni was really not angry, although he also understood that his companions were making fun of him. Gradually, Zhu Yue would also ask: "Old horse head, what are you doing?" "Laugh along with everyone. Later, Zhu Yue would sit on the side and watch Hou Ni in a daze. Sometimes he is very envious of Hou Ni, how good it is to always have such a thing in his hands! If Hou Ni just makes everyone feel funny, Zhang Yudi makes people's scalps tingle. Everyone thinks that Zhang Yudi should not come to Bolangsha. Compared with the city guards, Zhang Yudi can be regarded as a wealthy family. Zhang's stop crystal stack is the largest inn in Qingshi, and although Zhang Yudi's father can't be said to be a big man in Qingshi City, he can be regarded as a rich man.

Wanzhou is a highly profitable place, and most of the men from well-to-do families have gone into business, and most of the people who are willing to be wild soldiers and enter the private army are the children of poor families. Putting aside Zhang Yudi's rich background, he should also be a more promising martial artist. Zhang Yudi has been active since he was a child, his strength is outstanding, he likes to fight and make trouble the most, and he has a headache at home, so he simply sent him to Yunzhong - Wanzhou Ten Cities, probably only this place will have a martial arts school, which is the reason why the founding general Bai has lived in the clouds for a long time. Coming back from the clouds two years ago, Zhang Yudi was really skilled in arching and horses, not to mention that he had also learned some of Ye's art of war, and he was quite famous in the city. If he really went to be a field soldier, he should obviously enter the famous Fufeng Battalion; If you stay in Qingshi, at least you will be the captain of the Qingcao Army. If that were the case, the city guards would probably sing his name, just as they sang the praises of all the good men of the army.

But Zhang Yudi actually became a city guard and actually came to Bolangsha. With the wisdom and malice of the city guards, it can only be guessed that the Zhang family does not know where to offend the big man of Qingshi. However, Zhang Yudi came to Bolangsha, but he didn't mean to be disgraced at all. Zhang Yudi was so angry when he came. The weather was fine that day, and the big blue guarding the tower could see the shining figure among the rich greenery of the mountains from a long distance. It's shiny indeed! Zhang Yudi was wrapped in a silver iron armor, and the handiwork of the armor was the skillful craftsman of the Ming Kingdom who would be ashamed when he saw it; A bright knife in his hand and a long sword at his waist, all of which are the top grade of Liu Yitang in the clouds; Even the Hanzhou charcoal horse, which was taller than a human head, was wearing leather armor decorated with scales. If it weren't for walking on the side of the cart dragged by the Tieqing mule, Zhang Yudi would definitely be regarded as the general of the Jin Wuwei of the Great Yin Dynasty.

"Good boy!" Da Lan breathed a rough breath and said to Wang Yimi with straight eyes, "Tell me, how much is such an outfit worth?" "A lot of money." Wang Yimi nodded vigorously. Da Lan glared at him angrily, this ugly guy was the kind that echoed and was the least level: "Nonsense! Go back and ask Brother Yue. "It's useless to ask Zhu Yue. When he met Zhang Yudi, he was drying salted fish with Liu Butong and the two of them in the open space in front of the barracks. Seeing Zhang Yudi, who was as brilliant as a god, he was stunned for a moment, threw the salted fish in his hand, wiped a few handfuls of salt-stained hands on his pants, and subconsciously straightened his clothes. If it weren't for the soldiers suggesting that this was the new city guard, Zhu Yue would almost have thought that this was the general who had come to inspect all the way.

"Deputy Lieutenant ......" Zhang Yudi jumped off his horse and saluted Zhu Yue hesitantly. Despite the instructions of the soldiers, it was difficult for him to connect the stinky salted fish in front of him with his commander. "Ah......" Zhu Yue waved his hand a little impatiently, "Don't be so serious, let's not talk about this on the blog......" He looked Zhang Yudi up and down, and turned his face to look at the soldiers, hoping to hear a little bit of the ins and outs. The soldiers spread their hands, indicating that they knew nothing. "Good! The young man is very energetic! What is your name? Zhu Yue smiled casually, and finally couldn't help but reach out and flick the iron armor on Zhang Yudi's body, and asked with a shy face, "Is your outfit worth a lot of money?" "Not to mention the city guards stationed on this remote headland, even the soldiers of the Qingcao Army in the city are not equipped with such equipment!

Like his colleagues, Zhang Yudi was deeply shocked. It's not because the city guards are in rags, all his thoughts are in the army, how can the armies not know the situation? But the sight of Bolangsha still made him greatly blocked. The weapons and equipment are almost nothing, but where do these people have a little bit of military taste? Every day is just farming and fishing, and it is great to add a light on the tower, not to mention training in martial arts, and even the most basic morning drill is cleanly abandoned. "Morning exercises?" Da Lan heard Zhang Yudi's proposal, and raised an eyebrow in surprise, "New here, are you talking nonsense?" Changing of the guard every night......"

"What is the third and fifth rules of the Qingshi City Guard's Order?" Zhang Yudi's reaction to the city guards was not unexpected, but how could he back down when the instructions were clear? If he can't persist in this step, how can he hope to turn Bolangsha into the starting point of his glorious military journey. "How do I know?" Da Lan seemed to hear a big joke, and looked around, "Instruction...... Tell me, who has heard the commandment? Brother Yue, have you heard of it? "Zhu Yue is the lieutenant of the city guard, and he has been in the army for seven or eight years, so he has naturally heard of the order. However, he frowned and looked at his heroic subordinate, who had a background and youthful spirit, how should he explain Bolangsha to him? "Zhang Yudi, this thing is ...... instruction" Zhu Yue tried to find a softening statement to shake the legitimacy of the instruction.

"A soldier is a soldier, and a soldier is a general, and it is forbidden to order and prohibit." Zhang Yudi said with a stiff neck. Zhu Yue was a little angry: "Zhang Yudi, what class are you?" "Captain Alternate of the City Guard." Zhang Yudi said loudly. In the Qingshi Army, he is a rare martial arts school, if he passes the waiting period, his class is higher than Zhu Yue, where would he be afraid that Zhu Yue would use his class to suppress him. "Lieutenant Alternate...... Alternates are temporarily the same as soldiers. Zhang Yudi, you are not Qingcao Jun, how can you ride a horse? "In addition to the cavalry of the Qingcao Army and the commanders of the various armies in the city guard, only the captain and above can ride horses, not even the captain. This is also the provision of the instruction, Zhu Yue's words made Zhang Yudi speechless. If he really does what he is told, he will not be able to ride a private horse of his class. It's just that there are many children of rich families in the Qingshi army, and Linxiatang's business is booming, and many people ride private horses in the camp, and no one cares.

The old wine eyebrows smiled, and among the crowd, he was the only one who was most unhappy about Zhang Yudi's horseback riding, after all, he was in charge of the supply in Boshang: "Brother Yue is right, there are no horses in our Bolangsha formation, and this forage is not settled!" Zhang Yudi's morning exercise incident came to an end. Zhu Yue actually had a good impression of this young man's momentum, and found an opportunity to say to him privately: "I know that you have a big mind, and you are not a character who has stayed in Bolangsha for a long time. However, the truth of being a soldier is in appointing people, and the truth of being a general is in knowing the opportunity...... "Even if Zhang Yudi was put together by Zhu Yue, he was far from being convinced by this sloppy lieutenant, and when he heard him ignore his background in the martial arts hall and talk about how to be a general, his brows were twisted into a ball. Zhu Yue knew that it was useless to say more, so he sighed and stopped caring about him.

But Zhang Yudi didn't stop there. He held his breath and led the charcoal fire horse to Dameng Tsui to sell, who would the fishermen need his Hanzhou good horse? Even if someone wants to, they can't afford it. He had no choice but to find a fisherman who was pleasing to the eye and gave them some money to take care of the mount. After five days and seven days, he went to Dameng Tsui to see the charcoal fire horse. In any case, the old wine can no longer complain about the excessive consumption of forage.

Having solved the problem of private horses, Zhang Yudi began to continue his training. But he also knew how people looked at him. He did all the work done by the city guards every day, and he did not run away from it. The work of guarding the tower and lighting the lights never falls off, especially the lighting time is staggeringly accurate, and I don't know how much effort was spent in private.
