On the third day of the 25th month of the 25th year of the Duankang Dynasty of the Daying Dynasty, there was heavy snowfall.

The heavy snow in the sky adds a thick winter coat to the majestic Chongzhou City, standing on the city tower and looking into the distance, everywhere you see is a plain white. If this scene falls in the eyes of the poet and the lyricist, it must be to sacrifice several beautiful poems to thank God for his generous gift.

But the veteran oil prince Wang Hu scoffed at this kind of poetic and picturesque feeling, in his opinion, these literati masters were well fed. If you really want them to stand on the city gate tower for a night, then there will be no more commotion to praise this ghost weather.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Wang Hu secretly brought the wine jug hidden in his arms to his mouth and took a big sip. This low-quality sorghum has a very high intensity. The hot liquor spread down Wang Hu's throat to his internal organs.

Wang Hu let out a long breath, and the chill on his body seemed to be a little less. If it weren't for this pot of old wine, I really wouldn't know how to live!

But when he thought of his old wine, Wang Hu couldn't help but feel pain in his flesh again. As expected, this month's military salary was deducted again, and I am afraid that my little salary will no longer be enough to make a few pots of wine for myself.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu had no choice but to stuff the wine jug into his arms.

As the so-called high places are not cold, the most indispensable thing in the midwinter wax moon is the northwest wind, the cold wind rolls, Wang Hu was instantly blown cold. Tightening the oily cotton clothes on his body, Wang Hu unceremoniously spat on the plain and immaculate snow.

His mother's! The people in charge of the deployment of munitions are really dark-hearted. The imperial court has a system, and the standard cotton clothes of the defenders in the north must be filled with six catties of cotton, but in their hands, there are only less than three catties left. If you want less cotton, you can just do it, but this piece of cotton clothes doesn't know where to get the tattered goods, not only the appearance is dirty, but even the cotton wool filled in it has formed a hard piece, where can you keep out the cold?

But what can be done? Leave Qiu Ba in this business? Just kidding, what are you going to eat if you don't do it?

Looking at the thick phlegm trapped in the snow, Wang Hu's heart seemed to feel more comfortable. After a quarter of an hour, you will be able to change shifts, and then go to Wang Si's tavern for a few drinks!

It was a little dark and snowing.

Wang Hu looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and couldn't help but gloat in his heart.

Suddenly, without warning, there was a loud noise in the distance, and the sound made people's hearts tremble, like the earth cracking, and like the collapse of a rock.

Wang Hu hurriedly poked his head out of the city wall, the drifting snow blurred his eyes, and he seemed to see thousands of troops and horses advancing and converging from a distance......

The rumbling sound exploded in my ears, and everything became real.

Wang Hu finally saw it, it was a bright scimitar, a hideous wolf flag, and it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood from hell!

"Enemy attack!"

Wang Hu roared heartbreakingly, at this moment he knew very well that his fate had been linked to this majestic Chongzhou City.

Death came unexpectedly, and sharp arrows flew mercilessly towards Wang Hu with a whistling sound of breaking through the air. Warm blood gushed out of his throat and clotted before he could reach his chest. When he was dying, Wang Hu suddenly felt a sense of relief, but it was a pity that he hadn't finished drinking the pot of wine......

"The Jolo people are here! The whole army goes to the city to defend against the enemy! ”

……

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! If you want to live, you have to fight hard, and no one will let you on the battlefield! ”

As he spoke, Xu Hai raised his foot and kicked at a soldier beside him.

Xu Hai's kick was not light, and he almost didn't kick the soldier upside down.

"it! Delicate embroidery? You can't even pick the enemy's oily skin with this shot, look at me! ”

Xu Hai snatched the spear from the sergeant's hand with one hand, and his bear-like thick palm tightly grasped the barrel of the gun. Hearing a loud shout, the spear in the officer's hand rushed forward like a thousand troops.

With a "bang", the wooden stake standing in front of him instantly fell apart.

"Good!" The onlookers couldn't help but shout.

When Xu Hai heard this, his dark face couldn't help but show some stinky and beautiful looks.

"To make a gun, you have to have a posture to use a gun! What we pay attention to when we shoot guns is the unity of waist and horse, and we gather together. If you shoot this shot, you must stab the enemy in the middle! ”

As he spoke, Xu Hai's expression suddenly became a little weird.

"You all practice hard for Lao Tzu! If anyone dares to be lazy, Lao Tzu will come back and kill him! After speaking, Xu Hai hurriedly chased out.

At the gate of the camp, two young men wearing recruit uniforms with white faces were hooking their shoulders and preparing to go out. Looking at their size, they don't look like big soldiers.

"Hey! Two masters, don't you dare to go out! ”

When the two teenagers heard this, they turned around a little helplessly.

"Come on, I don't think we can get out today."

"But no, didn't you say that this thing went to train recruits today? I didn't expect to catch him! ”

While the two teenagers were talking, Xu Hai was already panting and catching up.

"Two, two masters, where is it today?" Xu Hai was panting heavily, and on the other hand, he secretly blocked the way out of the camp.

The two teenagers looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"This Mr. Xu, oh no, General Xu! My brothers and I have some urgent business to go out of the camp today, do you think it's ......? ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Hai turned his head and said without appreciation: "Don't dare to be!" It's just a small general flag, and he can't afford to be a general! ”

After speaking, Xu Hai forked his hand, looking uncompromising.

"This ...... General Xu, too, you are too ......" The young man was blocked by Xu Hai like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing his companion embarrassed, the other teenager laughed.

"It's beautiful, I told you a long time ago that this sea oil and salt don't enter, your set is useless!"

Hearing that his companion was still in the mood to laugh at himself, Cheng Qimei poked him an elbow in annoyance.

"I said Lu Yun, you kid is still gloating! Master, I had a good life, if it weren't for you, I would have ended up in this prison? Wait, I'll cut off your robe and break off with you when I go back!" As she spoke, Cheng Qimei turned her body to the side angrily.

"Oh, don't be angry!" Lu Yun hurriedly persuaded him.

"They are all good brothers who burn incense and change posts, what do you say! Besides, this matter can't be all counted on my head, if you really want to break it up, it must be the evil of his grandson and fat man! ”

One of the two teenagers who spoke was named Lu Yun and the other was Cheng Qimei. Don't look at the two of them dressed as small soldiers, but this identity is amazing.

Let's talk about this Lu Yun first, his father Lu Ping is the Marquis of Shunping ordained by the imperial court, and he is in charge of the military affairs of the 13 states in the northwest, and he is extremely powerful. Lu Yun, as Lu Ping's only son, is the best candidate to be awarded the title of Marquis of Shunping in the future; Another Cheng Qimei is the grandson of Zhao Guogongcheng's husband, whose father unfortunately died in turmoil in his early years, so Cheng Qimei became the only heir to the Duke of Zhao.

Then why did these two princes appear in such a realm? This thing has to go back to half a month ago.

Shendu Mingyulou is a new top-notch Qingqi, named Yu Ling'er. This Yu Ling'er is a fairy figure with both color and art, in addition to playing the pipa perfectly, he is even more knowledgeable about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It is precisely because of this Yu Ling'er that Ming Yulou's business is several times better than usual. And the people who came to pursue this Yu Ling'er were all the sons and daughters of the powerful people of the Shendu, literati and scholars. In the eyes of these people, this jade girl is a fairy woman who is completely different from those vulgar fans who only know how to sell skin and flesh. If I am lucky enough to be able to have a spring breeze with her, it is needless to say that I am ecstatic, and it is also a very elegant thing to say it!

As the saying goes, "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", sometimes it is not a good thing to be famous, especially Xiang Yu Ling'er's "glamorous name". In addition to attracting bees and butterflies, sometimes it can also cause trouble.

Sun Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has an only son named Sun Wuya. Sun Wuya grew up obese, so the gentlemen who were familiar with him in the divine capital called him "Sun Fat".

This fat man has always coveted Yu Ling'er's beauty, and he drank a few more glasses that day, and for a while, he was so drunk that he wanted to rob Yu Ling'er to go home as a concubine. Just when Sun Fatzi was about to succeed, Lu Yun and Cheng Qimei stood up in time and saved the beauty.

If this is the end of the matter, it will not be a big deal. It's just that Sun Fatzi was unwilling to be stopped in his heart, and when he was dizzy, he actually found familiar officers and soldiers in Shuntian Mansion to surround Lu Yun and them!

Sun Fatzi has great powers, and Lu Yun and they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Seeing that Sun Fatzi called the soldiers of Shuntian Mansion, Lu Yun also sent someone to summon the soldiers and generals of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

For a while, the north street where Mingyulou was located became a battlefield, and the two groups of people raised their sabers and guns together, and confronted each other across the street.

It happened that the sect ordered King Rong to pass by North Street, and when he saw this posture, he thought that there was a mutiny, so he hurriedly asked his subordinate officers to bring in five hundred soldiers with tokens to escort him.

This scene is a big one, thousands of people blocked the north street, and by the way, they also lost the face of the court!

Afterwards, the emperor was furious and ordered Yousi to find out the truth of the incident, and Yousi found out the case records of Sun Fatzi who had left in Shuntian Mansion earlier "accidentally" in addition to finding out the matter. In the end, Sun Fatzi, as the initiator of this matter, coupled with the sins he had done in the past, was sentenced to 80 floggings and 300 miles of exile.

As the saying goes: a slap doesn't make a sound. As the other side of the incident, Lu Yun and they certainly have to be punished. After deliberation by the Division, Lu Yun and Cheng Qimei were sentenced to serve in the border army for one year, and then Cheng's husband came forward to make peace, so they were changed to serve in Beijing.

Regarding the punishment of conscription in Beijing, it is actually just a formality. This time, Old Man Cheng's prestige in the Beijing army is extremely high, and for the sake of his old man's face, no one will embarrass these two boys; Second, Lu Yun and his father Lu Ping used to be the head of the Beijing camp before taking over the northwest military affairs, and many of the generals in the Beijing camp are his cronies, and they and Lu Yun are also old acquaintances, they are all their own nephews, how can they let them suffer a little?

Therefore, Lu Yun and their days in Beijing are still quite nourishing, but the premise is that they can't go out of the camp easily. Sun Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has always been dissatisfied with the punishment and is looking for trouble with their brothers everywhere. At this time, if you are caught, it will be difficult to say what will happen next.

Looking at Xu Hai, who was blocked at the gate of the camp, Lu Yun had an idea, leaned over to Xu Hai's side and said, "Brother Xu, brother heard that you are the first gun of the left battalion?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as he mentioned kung fu matters, Xu Hai's eyes immediately lit up.

"I don't dare to say that I am the first in the camp, I am all promoted by my brothers." Xu Hai's voice was not loud, but the arrogance in his words was undoubted.

When Lu Yun saw this, he had a rough idea in his heart.

"Brother Xu, my brother doesn't talk to you anymore. I know it's a bit embarrassing for you to let us out of the camp, but brother, I have a reason to go out today. It is said that in the barracks, you can talk with your fists, you see if we are good like this, let's compete. If I lose, then we will go back obediently, and if my brother is lucky enough to win, then ask my brother to let us out. ”

Lu Yun looked at Xu Hai with blazing eyes, and his face no longer had the previous frivolous appearance.

"You want to compare with me?" Xu Hai couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right, it's just to compete with you, if you lose, let us out." Lu Yun changed his normality, and he couldn't be serious anymore.

Xu Hai didn't speak, but his frowning brows already revealed his dissatisfaction.

Bah! The boy's tone was a little bigger. What kind of place are you in our Beijing camp, just because you are a pampered young master, you also want to do it with me? I really don't know whether to live or die!

In Xu Hai's opinion, Lu Yun's request was boring and ridiculous, how could he waste his strength on this kind of person? Although he didn't know where these two boys were, it must not be easy for the guy who could be told by the boss again and again.

"Lu Ye said with a smile, Lao Xu is just a rough man, where do you dare to do anything with you. If Lu Ye scratches a little oily skin and has any damage, brother, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to General Liu. In my opinion, the two of you should go back to the camp and rest, although our camp is not as lively as the flower world outside, but it will not treat the two of you badly. ”

After speaking, Xu Hai turned his head and ignored Lu Yun again.

Lu Yun saw that Xu Hai didn't have any stubble at all, and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Xu, you don't need to avoid anything, you are all rolling in the barracks, how can you not be injured? The reason why my brother wants to compete with you is that he wants to weigh his own pounds, and secondly, he wants to find a step for himself. Brother, you are superb in martial arts, and it is not a shame to lose to you, and it can be regarded as my best efforts, so that I can also be regarded as having an explanation to the outside world. Do you say yes or no? ”

Xu Hai didn't speak after listening to Lu Yun's explanation, but the pair of tightly knit brows eased significantly.
