Chapter 14 The Comer Is Not Good!
Longmen, fifteen miles southwest of Chang'an City, close to the Weishui River, according to legend, there are fishermen here to see a golden-scaled carp jumping into the air, changing into a dragon, hence the name.
Because it is located in the key point of land and water, and is the gateway of Chang'an, so the imperial court has set up a post station in Bi, which is called Longmen Station, and business travelers like to pass through here.
Ordinary people are still like this, and those teenagers who come to join the army are naturally even more flocking, even if they don't enter Chang'an from this direction, they will deliberately take a detour to come and take a trip to ask for good luck; Let's ask, who doesn't want a small soldier to be promoted to a captain, and a captain to a general, if God blesses him, he can become the second of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', then it is really - a fish leaps into the dragon gate and soars into the sky!
There are many people who come to join the army, and the generals who are responsible for recruiting troops have naturally set their sights here, who doesn't want to grab the best and best soldiers, but there are more wolves and less meat, and fierce competition is inevitable, so the battalions have sent people and horses to build recruitment points here, each by means of competition, competing for resources!
The recruiting officer sent by the Xuanjia Army is 'Fat Liu', with more than 100 skilled firehead soldiers, and also pulling carts of fat sheep and wine, just in front of the Longmen Station, more than a dozen marching cauldrons are lined up, killing sheep and boiling soup......
Large pieces of fatty mutton rise and fall in the boiling iron pot, and with various seasonings such as green onions, ginger, garlic, refined salt, etc., it is really fragrant, and there are stacks of white flour pot helmets next to it that you can enjoy as much as you want!
Pot helmet soaked in sheep soup, that is the favorite of the people of Guanzhong, this big killing weapon is put out, more effective than any recruitment notice, all the people who come to join the army are almost a swarm of swarms, can't drive away, angry other battalions of recruiting officers can only blow their beards and stare at them, but they are helpless!
First of all, the cooking skills of 'Fat Liu' are absolutely outstanding in the Han Army, and the mutton soup is pure, thick, and fragrant, and the taste is very authentic.
Secondly, what kind of people are in the Xuanjia army, that is the descendant of the Dadu Governor's lineage, the pro-soldier of the pro-soldiers, the number one ace main force, usually sitting on horseback, looking at the sky with his eyes, and among the captains of the Han army's battalions, at least two-thirds of them are from the Xuanjia Iron Horse, with deep origins, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the soul of the Han army, who dares to rob people with this army?
"Eat well, drink well, it's not me - Fat Liu brags, our craft, but even the governor has praised it, drink our sheep soup, ensure that you are all fierce and fierce, when you get to the battlefield, killing people is like cutting vegetables, it won't take three years and five years, and you can be a general!" Fat Liu Yangyang stood proudly next to a big iron pot, holding an iron spoon in his hand, and kept directing his firehead soldiers to add meat and soup!
"With your auspicious words, the general's high position will not dare to think, as long as you can eat such food every day, it will be a fairy-like day!" The men in Guanzhong are bold and rude, and when they eat up, a large group of shirtless men soon appeared, revealing a figure with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, yes, they are all natural killers!
Although he turned around the group under the command of his subordinates, 'Fat Liu' himself was rooted under his feet, nailed there without moving, and turned around from time to time to take a look, his attitude was extremely respectful, because there was an important table of guests, so important that it was more expensive than all the lives of people here combined, and even the work of adding meat and soup was done by 'Fat Liu' himself, and he would never fake others!
Not only is 'Fat Liu' like this, but even the soldiers who are eating and drinking at the surrounding tables are also weird, shouting and screaming everywhere, and they are in full swing, but they are the only ones who eat silently, as if they are afraid of making noise, and when they drink sheep soup, they do not let go of their other hands, and their vigilance is extremely high!
Such a strange scene was immediately discovered by some well-intentioned people, and everyone looked there one after another, wanting to see what kind of character it was, which made the famous Xuanjia Army so valued!
A black-faced young man who was drinking soup, not handsome, but very energetic, sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, next to him was a little girl with a very similar demeanor and appearance, holding a leg of mutton and gnawing happily, it seems that the two should be a pair of brothers and sisters!
There are three young men next to him, although they are dressed ordinarily, they can't hide their luxury, they are holding pot helmets, worrying about the big soup bowl in front of them, and they don't seem to be very suitable for this kind of rough way of eating!
That's right, the black-faced young man is Xiao Yi, he has never been a person who must bow down to everything, although recruiting troops is important, it is enough to hand it over to his generals, which not only trains his subordinates, but also eases himself, why not!
Anyway, it's easy and fine, I heard that 'Fat Liu' took the firehead soldiers to put on a whole sheep banquet at the Longmen Station, Xiao Yi simply changed into casual clothes, and brought his sister Xiaojing and the Cao family brothers to come over to taste, which can be regarded as having fun with the soldiers!
"What, isn't the pot helmet delicious?" Looking at the Cao family brothers with sad faces, Xiao Yi asked expressionlessly, so frightened that the three of them bit wildly at the pot helmet in their hands, and even used the strength to eat milk, and did not forget to drink a big mouthful of steaming mutton soup to show sweetness, but the hot tongue was rolled up, but he didn't dare to spit it out, and his little face was all red!
That's right, boys should be raised, girls should be carefully raised, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, took a bowl of mutton soup, and carefully broke the pot helmet and put it in, after feeling the temperature, he handed it to Xiao Jing beside him, and told her to eat slowly, don't get hot, in exchange for a sweet smile from her sister, and the fierce eyes of the three brothers of the Cao family!
"Dada! …… Click! Just as everyone was eating happily, a rush of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, from far to near, and the speed was extremely fast!
Everyone hurriedly looked up and watched, only to see a team of more than ten horsemen like a strong wind rushing towards the recruiting point, led by a 'sun, moon and frost horse', white as snow, without a single miscellaneous hair, from head to hoof, eight feet high, when running neighing and roaring, long tail drifting, as if a white dragon is similar;
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army have been with horses all the year round, and they have to praise it at this time, it is really a BMW good horse, this might, this handsome, which 'cabbage uncle' who likes to drink in the camp can compete with it!
Look at the horseback again, there is a young man of about twenty years old, his face is as white as jade, his sword eyebrows are towering, his tiger eyes are like electricity, his thin lips seem to be smeared with rouge, handsome and heartwarming, his body is a Xishu white brocade robe, his waist is crossed by a tiger belt, and there is a 'tiger head and gold spear' hanging next to the saddle.
The frost horse rushed to the front in an instant, without the slightest intention of slowing down, and the startled people who were eating and drinking took refuge in all directions, for fear that they would accidentally become a puddle of mud under the horse's hooves!
Looking at the frightened and screaming crowd, the brocade-clothed young man on horseback smiled contemptuously, his legs were clamped, and the reins in his hands were around, and the war horse that sat down immediately stopped, his front hooves were raised high, and he looked up to the sky and neighed, but it was a table, and not a soup bowl was touched!
"Good skills, good riding skills!" There is no lack of knowledge in the crowd, have shouted applause, on this stop, in the area, not only shows the rider's excellent riding skills, the coordination of people and horses is seamless, I really don't know where the young people come from, there is such a skill!
At the same time, more than ten horsemen in the back also arrived, all of them were Xiliang horses, and the horses were also burly big men, knives, guns, bows and crossbows, all available!
The two people who ran in front, one was a black-faced strong man with a height of eight feet and a waist of ten girths, with a calm expression, riding a black-maned horse, and a 'thick-backed chopping mountain knife' hung on the saddle, the back of the knife was densely packed with serrations, and the knife shaft could have the thickness of a goose egg, looking at the weight, it was enough to have seventy catties and was up and down, such a heavy blade, and the arms could not be used without hundreds of catties of strength!
The other person was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that young man in brocade, he should be a brother of the same clan or something, but when it came to Shenjun, he was much worse, riding a silver frost horse, and a spear was hung on the saddle!
Seeing this scene, the 'Fat Liu' who was in charge of the affairs of the recruiting point couldn't help frowning secretly, all these years of fighting on the battlefield, his eyesight had already been trained, although the more than ten horsemen who came did not wear armor, but the fierce, iron-blooded strength could not be hidden, they couldn't be wrong, they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
"This is the recruitment point, since the other party is already a soldier, naturally he is not here to join the army, so what are they doing here?" Fat Liu had a question in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface, he still looked like a smiling Mimi, and took the initiative to step forward and beckoned the young man in brocade to get off the horse for dinner.
After a long journey, the group was already hungry, and the taste of mutton soup was tempting, so the young man in brocade jumped off his horse after a little thought, and at the same time beckoned his subordinates to come over for dinner.
"A few strong men, please sit down, there are excellent sheep soup and pot helmets, enjoy them to your heart's content, you're welcome!" Fat Liu beckoned more than a dozen people to sit in the crowd, and on the other hand, he signaled his subordinates to take the opponent's war horse, the war horse is the legs of the general, as long as the horse is watched, these people have any malice, and they can't turn up the big waves.
"No, we'll take care of the horses, just bring some grass and water!" The other party seemed to be very alert, and the black-faced strong man stopped a few fireheads who were trying to get over, and then took out a small bag from his arms and threw it over, which was heavy and full of golden sand.
There were still a lot of vacant seats outside the recruiting point, but the young man in brocade didn't seem to like the excitement, holding a horsewhip, and walked towards the pavilion, which was where Xiao Yi and the others dined, and the two eyes that were also as fast as lightning suddenly collided together, revealing an infinite murderous aura!
"It's not good!"
"The good ones don't come!"
