Volume 1 Northwest Wind and Cloud Chapter 25 Abandon the rivers and lakes and throw himself into the horse

Why Han Xi was able to pretend to be an official and soldier to come to the rescue, this story has to start from that night.

That night, after Jiang Lan informed Xu that the blind man was going to attack Yanlai Villa, Han Xi thought about it in every possible way. She felt that whether the news was true or not, she had to be on guard. And looking at Jiang Lan's appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying to her.

Early the next morning, she left a note and rushed to the secret contact point of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When they arrived at the contact point, they explained everything to the spies stationed there. The spy didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a message to the Northern Wei Dynasty Daying Flying Pigeon. When the Northern Wei Dynasty received the news, they were worried about the safety of their son, but they were unwilling to give up the Yanlai Villa, which had been painstakingly operated for many years.

Because of the heavy troops stationed on the border of the Great Liang State, they could not mobilize a large army here. So he selected dozens of elites and asked them to cross the mountains and mountains and sneak into the northwest of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Han Xi waited at the contact point for several days before waiting for these dozens of elites. In order to hide people's eyes, he and this group of elites changed into the outfits of the Great Liang Greedy Wolf Army, and then rushed back to Yanlai Mountain Villa with these dozens of people. They didn't dare to stop along the way, and hurried down, but they were still one step slower.

When I arrived at the villa, I was just in time for a large number of bandits to besiege the villa. She sent an elite to investigate the situation inside the villa, but the result was that she almost vomited blood. The man replied that the prince was dead, and that he did not know where he had gone.

She didn't leave immediately, but continued to send her subordinates to investigate, and after learning that a cheap-looking young man, that is, Jiang Lan, was in danger, she began to struggle in her heart.

In principle, if Jiang Lan died, it would be a good thing for the Great Wei State, after all, he knew too many secrets. But emotionally speaking, she didn't want Jiang Lan to have anything to do.

I don't know when, this bastard boy has become a piece of her heart. Although he speaks openly, he looks a little sassy, and he has a disgusting expression all day long...... But his frank character and chivalrous spirit really moved her.

So she decided that even if she would be questioned by Xingshi after she went back, she would save Jiang Lan's life...... That's what happened later.

However, no matter how much Han Xi had a good impression of Jiang Lan in his heart, he couldn't erase the fact that the two were hostile.

Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh.

……

On the small road outside Hanzhong City, Jiang Lan and others walked along the road.

"Brother Jiang, you just keep walking and don't speak, where are we going?"

"Where to go? I don't know ......."

Jiang Lan's mind was chaotic, he only cared about walking with his head bored, as for where he was going, he really didn't think about it.

He stopped and looked back at Han Qixue, who was following behind.

The woman was also silent along the way, and the expression on her face was even more complicated: resentment, unwillingness, and sorrow......

"Sister Qixue, do you have any plans?"

Han Qixue was stunned by Jiang Lan's question, and then replied with a wry smile: "What else can I plan now...... I just wanted to go back to the cottage before Xu Blind found him, and then dismiss his brothers...... It is also lest when Xu Blind comes to the door, he will send me to die for nothing. Jiang Lan nodded when he heard this, and he couldn't help but admire Han Qixue in his heart.

When he was a child, he often listened to Master talk about the past in the rivers and lakes. In his imagination, the people of the rivers and lakes should be affectionate and righteous, and happy to be revenge.

However, when he entered the WTO, he realized that the story in Master's mouth was just a story. Most of the so-called "green forest heroes" are those who "can't afford to be early, and I will run first if there is something". They can go to raid homes and rob houses for small profits, regardless of the life and death of poor people. You can also abandon your brothers in life and death in order to protect yourself...... There are very few people like Xiang Beichuan and Han Qixue who value love and righteousness...... What's more, Han Qixue is still a female streamer!

"Sister Qixue, since you plan to rush back to the cottage, it is inconvenient for the two of us to continue to accompany each other, so let's leave it here." Jiang Lan said with his fists clenched.

"Good! Little brother, cherish! Han Qixue returned the salute with her fists, and then left with her minions.

Looking at the back of Han Qixue and the others leaving, Jiang Lan sighed in his heart: This is also a hard-working person!

"Brother, don't look at it. Go far! Xiang Beichuan saw that Jiang Lan was stunned, he raised his hand and waved it twice in front of him, "It's not that you are a brother, you just said goodbye to your 'old lover' on the front foot, and hooked up with a 'new love' on the back foot...... Yours is a good heart! ”

"Reckless, you can shut up! Where is the hook-up master, it's just that she saw that her father-in-law died first, and then her brother died, and she felt a little pitiful. As for Hanxi...... The master is affectionate, but the beauty has no intention of ......"

"Hey! So, do you really like that Hanxi? Don't forget, she is Yu Fengqiu's second wife, and now she is a widow......"

"Shut your beak!" Jiang Lan said angrily.

Seeing that he was obviously a little unhappy, Xiang Beichuan didn't bother to reveal his scars anymore. He changed his words and said, "But then again, what should we do next...... Dude, I know you have a lot of ideas, can you think of a way...... We can't keep hiding in Tibet, can we? ”

"Why are you hiding? Isn't it good to leave this Northwest directly? ”

"Brother, don't you know, because of the rampant green forest in the northwest, the Great Liang Kingdom set up a card in Dongguan to prevent our green forest strongmen from passing through. Those checkpoints can only be passed through with documents issued by the government...... When I came to the Northwest back then, I also relied on the relationship between Xuan Xing and Sizhong to get Wen Mu. ”

"Uh...... We don't have to run east......"

"Where can you go without going east? Northern wei dynasty? Or Southern Xinjiang? ”

Jiang Lan was speechless for a moment when Xiang Beichuan asked.

The Northern Wei Dynasty is definitely not good, he just killed the prince, and he has already offended the Northern Wei court to death. As for southern Xinjiang, although he had not been there, he had heard of it. It is a foreign country, and not to mention whether the language can be understood, even if you can learn the local language, how can you settle down?

"That's right! Lao Xiang, do you think there is any place in the northwest that Xu Blind dare not touch? ”

"Which place...... Feudal official? Xiang Beichuan shook his head, "He Xu is blind and can get you out, so there must be someone else in the government...... What else...... Ah! How could I not have thought of it! In vain, I have been in the army! ”

Xiang Beichuan seemed to suddenly remember something, he patted his thigh excitedly and said: "If there is any place in the northwest that is safe, it must be the border army camp!" Although Xu Blind is full of eyeliner all over the northwest, he will never dare to reach out to the army, otherwise once he is discovered, no matter how many masters he is in the Water Snake Ridge, he will be crushed into powder by the army! ”

One of the reasons why the Northwest Green Forest Road has existed for a long time is because the local government is not strictly controlled. The second is because although Green Forest Road does some robberies and robberies, it never goes too far. Although they usually opposed the government, they did not dare to provoke the northwest garrison, and even bribed the generals with some silver taels every once in a while. This made the Northwest garrison turn a blind eye to it.

"Old Item...... Why are you so excited? Master just asked, you don't really want to hide in the barracks, do you? ”

"Then why not? Besides, there's no other way out right now, isn't it? ”

"Having said that, but," Jiang Lan said, and at the same time took out something from his arms, which was his immortal lock, "However, the young master went down the mountain this time to find his life experience. Now I have to hide in the barracks again...... When will I be able to find my master's biological parents! ”

Hearing Jiang Lan's words, Xiang Beichuan was also silent for a while, and after a while, he spoke up and persuaded: "Brother Jiang, brother, I can understand your feelings, but your life experience is not something that can be found out by looking up. Besides, now that we are being hunted down, it would be nice to have a place to live. As for the rest, I'll be thinking about it in the future. ”

"Hmmm......"

When Jiang Lan heard this, he was silent for a long time. Then he seemed to want to open something, and saw the gloom on his face sweep: "I can't see that you are a reckless man, and you are quite good at preaching." Good! The master will temporarily go to the army to settle down! After all, it is - learn literary and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house! ”

"Well said!" Xiang Beichuan exclaimed, "In my opinion, we might as well throw ourselves into the camp of Nayang Anguan!" It's closer, and it's been recruiting recently! ”

The two made a plan, and then said they would go.

They first rushed to Erhu's house, informed him of what had happened that night, and told him to leave with his family and hide elsewhere. He also released carrier pigeons at Erhu's house and informed Liu Chengshun of the news.

After doing all this, the two rushed to the camp of Anguan in Nayang.

Along the way, they walked through mountains and forests. Even a few extremely steep peaks were climbed with great difficulty, and they did not dare to show their faces on the main road in the slightest. The original two-day journey took five days under their detour.

Five days later, the two wore hats on their heads and appeared outside the Yang'an Guan camp.

Yang'an Pass, located at the throat of the Qinling Mountains, is the only gateway to the northwest of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Due to the difficult terrain, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. The Southern Liang and Northern Wei Dynasty took this Yang'an Pass as the boundary of the west, and ruled the north and the south.

If Yang'an Pass is the gate, then the greedy wolf army stationed here is the gatekeeper of this gate.

The Greedy Wolf Army is known as the most elite border army in the entire Great Liang Kingdom. The only one who can compare with it is Jin Wuwei of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"There are three armies in the northwest of the Great Liang Kingdom, namely Greedy Wolf, Shaoguang and Tianquan, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Among the three armies, the greedy wolf army is the most famous. I heard that Situ Leopard, the general of the greedy wolf army, is a merciful and ruthless character. The people of Green Forest Road had been in contact with him before, and they wanted to bribe him with gold and silver, but they were all sent away by him. I think we are hiding here, so we shouldn't have to worry about Xu Blind coming to the door. Xiang Beichuan explained to Jiang Lan.

The two looked towards the gate of the camp, and saw a wooden table set up there, behind which hung the flag of the "recruiting office", and a soldier in his thirties was sitting straight under the flag.

"Why doesn't anyone sign up for this recruiting office?" Jiang Lan said strangely.

"Hehe, Brother Jiang doesn't know. The salary of the Northwest Frontier Army is 3,000 yuan a year, that is, three taels of silver. And an ordinary person can find a job casually, and his annual income is about this amount. If you are tired in the barracks and don't mention it, even if you lose your life, you may lose it one day. Therefore, the common people are reluctant to take the initiative to join the army.

The Great Liang State set the law: one ding for every twenty households was drawn to enlist in the army, and most of the people in this army were recruited. Xiang Beichuan explained, and then remembered something, "By the way, just in case, let's still think of a pseudonym, and we must not use our real names!" ”

"Got it! The master has already thought about it. Jiang Lan waved his hand, and then he took off his hat and walked straight to the recruiting office. Xiang Beichuan shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and then walked over as well.

"Name, age, place of origin, previous trades." The soldier from the recruiting office asked coldly.

"Master...... Belch...... My name is Jiang Xiaoshui, I am twenty-one years old, from Shangyong County, I just went out, and I haven't done anything before. ”

The soldiers only made a few strokes, and they recorded Jiang Lan's identity casually.

"Next."

"Xiang Xiaoyu, now ...... Yes...... Twenty-five, also a native of Shangyong County, worked as a carpenter before. ”

"Twenty-five?" The soldier looked at Xiang Beichuan with a wrinkled face, and was a little incredulous - although he had encountered false registration words and ages before, he had not made up such outrageous ......

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't ask much, just lowered his head and recorded the relevant information.

After the record was completed, he glanced at Xiang Beichuan again: "You only have one eye left, and you still come to join the army?" ”

"This ...... We're disabled......"

The soldier pouted when he heard this, then turned around and took two wooden plaques from the side and handed them to them: "This is your waist plaque, and you will engrave your name in a moment." Enter the door and walk to the left to the head and report there. ”

"There is Master Lao."

The two bowed to him, and then walked into the camp. After walking a long way, Jiang Lan finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Old Xiang, you are really shameless! It's still twenty-five, you have both twenty-five, right? Xiang Xiaoyu...... Hahaha,...... You are the overlord of Western Chu! Haha......" Jiang Lan laughed so hard that Xiang Beichuan was very embarrassed.

"What are you laughing at, I'm not also here to hide my identity! Besides, with our physique, what's wrong with twenty-five? I didn't say eighteen is enough to save face. ”

"You can stop, who dares to believe it?" Jiang Lan wiped a handful of tears, he finally knew what it was like to laugh out of tears.

"Alright, alright. Serious matters, hurry up and report it! Xiang Beichuan's old face turned red, but he left on his own.

According to the military system of the Great Liang State, five people are a team, and there is a team commander; Fifty people are in a team, and there is a commander; 500 people for a flag, set up a belt; 5,000 men for a battalion, with a captain; A number of battalions form an army, and the one who commands an army is a general.

And this greedy wolf army has six battalions, which are as many as 30,000 people.

Jiang Lan and the two were arranged in the first battalion on the left, because they came to enlist together, and the two were assigned to the same army.

The captain in charge of leading them was a veteran in his early thirties, and he was extremely enthusiastic. Hearing that Jiang Lan and the others were newcomers, he patiently told them about the rules in the army......

At this time, there was no war in the Great Liang Kingdom, and the army was practicing and patrolling every day, and Jiang Lan was naturally happy to do so.

In this way, the time of the year passed slowly in this day after day.
