Chapter II. 120. Commander of the Guard Battalion

The beggars of Jincheng helped these three starving ghosts to reincarnate, and just after eating the pork and green onion stuffed dumplings made by Mrs. Huang's own hands, because they couldn't hang oil and water in their stomachs, they ran back to the thatched house several times, and then went back to the rudder outside the city to rest with a depressed look; And Yan Chongwu and Shen Gui, as well as the wilted Gu Governor's Mansion, and the Huang Lady who made great contributions, planned all night.

Of course, the reason why I planned all night was mainly because Mrs. Huang would occasionally divert the topic and teach her husband a lesson.

In the early morning of the next day, the sleepy and tired Yan Chongwu returned to the Flying Bear camp outside the city, and all the middle and high-level military attaches exploded. The commander of the army even brought out a whole braised pig's head and put it at the gate of the camp, and the two pig's ears were still hung with red silk that he got out of nowhere. These idle and panicked soldiers beat gongs and drums, and were elated, welcoming their own commanders into the handsome tent as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Yan Chongwu, who was confused, also grinned, echoing the noble nature of the brothers. It wasn't until he sat in his own handsome position that he asked the chief of the guard who secretly asked him:

"You who beat gongs and drums, and kill pigs and wear red, whose mother gave birth to a big fat boy? Or did Your Majesty send us another extra amount of money to the Flying Bear Army? ”

Yan Chongwu led the troops, which was different from the ordinary famous generals on the Huayu continent. Only when he fights on the battlefield will he show the majesty of the commander. On weekdays, he is still very kind and kind to his comrades. And this was already evident in the accustomed reaction of the sergeants around him when he personally carried the grain and grass with the escort battalion.

"Yesterday, you didn't return overnight, and someone could see you appear in Jincheng...... Now although the sisters in this Jincheng are mediocre, in terms of their means, they are really masters of this way; Such a senior master, if it is matched with a reckless person like you who is not close to women on weekdays, it can really be called a complement to each other! We, old brothers and brothers, have long been looking forward to you being able to open your mind and become a parent, so that we old brothers can make a little young marshal. Although you made money this time, it was a good start......"

These brainless words made Yan Chongwu stunned on the spot. After he figured it out, he slapped the handsome case in front of him:

"You filthy goods, don't you think that Ben Shuai was in Jincheng last night, so he went to sleep in the willows? Since the guard battalion knew that I had entered the city, how could they not know that Ben Shuai was in Lord Gu's mansion and did not come out all night? ”

was drunk by Yan Chongwu, and the elated Flying Bear Army comrades around him also looked at the guard chief of the "fake good news" with strange eyes. The captain of the guard also looked embarrassed, turned to the crowd and explained:

"I saw yesterday that our handsome man was carrying a woman on his back, and there was a middle-aged woman in front of him to guide the way; He was followed by three beggars and a long-term retinue, and thought that the handsome man was disguised as a wealthy businessman...... Then I, as the chief of the guard, can't disturb our handsome Yaxing! And this is about to start a war with the Northern Yan people, and the handsome man will go to Jincheng for recreation, which is also ......"

As soon as everyone heard the guard chief's explanation, they all sighed with complicated expressions. Yan Chongwu looked at the big pig's head with "flowers hanging on his ears" with a smile, and said to the chief of the guard:

"Spy on the news, and next time remember to let the people from the scout camp go. As far as your behavior of spreading war reports is concerned, if you really put it on the battlefield, it will be a big incident! ”

"Yes......"

"Then do you think you're smart this time?"

"Yes......"

"Is it reasonable for Ben Shuai to punish you?"

"Yes......"

Yan Chongwu looked at the guard chief with an embarrassed and guilty look on his face and smiled secretly, but his face was still serious.

"Since you admit your mistake, then everyone should disperse, go back to each camp to count the number of people, and the commander will soon have an order to pass down, and you should quickly return to the camp to prepare...... Wait a minute, cut off the two pigs' ears, and bring a pot of wine, Ben Shuai will have to drink a pot of soul wine. ”

Everyone came and dispersed in a hurry, and only the chief of the guard who was standing in place waiting to be punished was left in the tent, and Yan Chongwu, who was drinking wine and eating pig's ears.

Yan Chongwu chewed the pig's ears with a 'rattling' sound, and looked at the chief of the guard who was eager and kept swallowing saliva with his spare eyes and said:

"Don't be greedy, there are pig ears, it depends on whether your kid has the ability to eat. I'll tell you to do a few things in a moment, and if you can do it well, I'll ask the chef to give you ten pig's ears, and when you come back triumphantly, you'll have enough to eat at one time; If you don't do it well, you don't have to be punished......"

The captain of the guard swallowed his saliva, his eyes widened, and he thought: If you don't have to be punished if you can't complete the military order, how can there be such a good thing?

"If you don't do it well, I'm afraid that your kid won't come back...... Don't be in a hurry to answer Ben Shuai, go back to the camp first and think about it carefully, and tell Ben Shuai an hour later, whether you dare to take this errand of life or not. ”

As soon as Yan Chongwu's words fell, the chief of the guard turned over and sat on the handsome case, picked up another pig ear on the table, and chewed a mouthful of incense:

"What's going on now? I've made a new mistake, and this task is already a must-have, right? It's impossible to talk about nine deaths and one life, since he followed the handsome man, our Junping is ready to die on the battlefield at any time; It's either this time or next time, it's not this year or next year; To put it mildly, only days like this can make me feel like I'm still a living person. Otherwise, who would want to be the commander of the guard for you, who charges forward every time there is a battle? For so many years, our 2,000 old brothers have called the name of the guard battalion, and they have done the work of the pioneer battalion! ”

This chief guard, Fang Junping, is about twenty-six or seventeen years old. Although he is not very old, he is already a ten-year veteran. Since he joined the army, he has taken the lead in every battle; On weekdays, he is good at using a big gun, although he has not been instructed by a famous teacher, but it is also a practical way to beat it out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and he has also drunk the blood of countless famous generals of Beiyan under the tip of the gun; Such a brave and crazy man is obviously inappropriate to serve as the captain of the guard; But if it is paired with Yan Chongwu, who is crazier than him, it can be called a match made in heaven!

Now in the face of Yan Chongwu's slightly agitated words, he agreed without saying a word, as if the two were not discussing the dangerous errands of nine deaths and one life, but the ordinary little things at home.

Yan Chongwu looked at this somewhat rude guard battalion commander, half distressed and half pleased. He stood up, walked up to Fang Junping, who was sitting on the handsome table drinking and eating meat, and stretched out a hand to touch the scar on his face: this scar started from his right ear and went all the way to the edge of his lower lip: this was cut by the war knife of the Northern Yan people on the battlefield before. At that time, this handsome young man had half of his face cut open, and although he clenched his teeth, he could see his teeth directly through the wounds on his face. Despite the horrific injuries at the time, the "guard" still wielded a large gun as if he were unconscious, and kept harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers.

"Xiaoping...... You've been following Ben Shuai in the blood for ten years...... After the end of this war, if you are still alive, go to Fengjing City to do some small business, marry a daughter-in-law, and live a good life, Ben Shuai will arrange it for you personally. ”

Unexpectedly, Fang Junping shook his head and said calmly:

"Don't do it! If you are a common man, you can't kill people, so what's the point of living? ”

"Then you can also open a butcher's shop and kill pigs for people!"

"I don't understand the wails and begs for mercy of the beasts before they die, so what's the point of killing them!"

Yan Chongwu shook his head and gave up his plan to persuade him to leave the army. However, the Flying Bear Army has been at war with Beiyan all year round, and the old brothers in the army have long been ten or seven, only this young man in his twenties has stubbornly followed him, and he is not a reward for giving officials, and his personality is simply more stubborn than a stone. However, he recently met a new friend with a lot of ideas, and when the war is over, let Shen Gui think of a way for him.

"Alright, let's get down to business! Starting today, you will take the 3,000 brothers of the guard camp, each of whom will ride a war horse, and look for a woman named Li Niang in front of the Donghai Customs and on the road to the Flying Bear Army camp. How loud the momentum is to make me a big fuss, whoever asks you can also tell the tone. However, it should be noted that don't have a dispute with him Beiyan people, try not to fight back, scold or fight back, and other self-owned commanders are in charge. Do you understand? ”

Fang Junping followed Yan Chongwu for ten years, but he had never heard him make such a request. The reason why the Flying Bear Army has been able to hold on to the Pingbei Army for many years is because of the ruthless momentum that must be compared: if you punch me, I will kick you back; If you give me a sword, I will immediately backhand it. But now Yan Chongwu's handsome order is completely different from his usual style.

"I don't understand! I can't do this job of just being beaten and not fighting back, or you let those waste in the pioneer battalion try it? ”

Yan Chongwu had long expected Fang Junping to answer like this, so he was neither annoyed nor angry, he just stroked the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist, and said lightly:

"Although our Flying Bear Army has always been ruthless, it is only the ruthlessness of street hooligans, and it is not something to be proud of. This time, Ben Shuai plans to completely wipe out the 150,000 Pingbei army in Youbei, and not even that old man Guo Xiao will be left alive. I want to beat those Beiyan people at one time, and rely on this big victory to keep me safe for 20 years! ”

Fang Junping looked at the sky-high arrogance released from his handsome eyes, and nodded unconsciously. At this time, he had a strange thought: Yue Haishan, the Qingmang Sword God of the "Three Swords Town Beiyan" twenty years ago, and Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army who only has battlefield martial arts, should be the same kind of person, right?
