The time has passed.

The wind and clouds in the sky are changing, at first it was still blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, in the blink of an eye, it was dark clouds, the wind was howling, and the street trees beside the road were abused by the wind, one by one drooping their heads, leaning in the direction of the wind, struggling powerlessly, swinging weakly. Countless dust rolled up, forming a sandstorm that ran wildly through the streets.

Most of the shops had been plugged in, leaving only one or two unplugged, and the men were either hiding in the house, or the cats were in front of the door, carefully checking the street, but in fact, they could not see anything, and after a few feet they looked forward, they would be swallowed up by the wind and sand.

On the street, there are almost no pedestrians.

Occasionally, footsteps could be heard, and footsteps sounded in the wind and sand, and the pedestrian must have returned from a distance.

On a June day, the child's face changes when it is said.

Xu Xinyan rode out of the wind and sand, his face was covered with a cloth, and the black crown hat on his head was pressed very low, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were half-open and half-closed, avoiding the invasion of the wind and sand. Behind him, followed by a soldier in black armor, these armorers have a name, called Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, which was the most important force that Taizong swept the world at the beginning.

Every soldier at least opened up Xiao Zhoutian, Taizong had hundreds of Xuanjia iron cavalry, every time he rushed into the weakest point of the enemy army when the battle situation was the most anxious, like a kitchen knife cutting tofu, almost effortlessly broke the enemy's battle formation, and after that, it caused a chain reaction, making the enemy's large array completely collapse and turn into a plate of scattered sand.

Later, in the Xuanwumen Incident, it was also this Xuanjia Iron Cavalry that suppressed the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, forcing the Forbidden Army not to dare to go out of the barracks for half a step, and forcing tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army to dare not act rashly with only a thousand people.

Of course, this is also because Taizong's prestige in the army is too great, and like the prince at that time, Taizong often led troops to fight outside, while the prince was responsible for logistics transportation.

Just like Du Rui's previous life, Chu and Han fought each other, if it weren't for Xiao He managing civil affairs, handling logistics, and supplying materials in the rear, Liu Bang would not have been able to defeat again and again. Hit to the back, the Chu army of the soldiers are bigger and fewer, but the strength and territory of the Han army are more and more, finally, Xiang Yu was surrounded, after the first battle, the whole army was annihilated, came to the edge of the Wujiang River, disheartened, waved the sword to kill himself.

Therefore, the reason why Liu Bang was able to win the world, Xiao He's credit is not under Han Xin.

Xiao He supplied money and food, Han Xin was not only able to win the battle, but every time Liu Bang was defeated or lost, he would take the trained elite soldiers from Han Xin, and Han Xin continued to recruit new recruits to form combat effectiveness after training.

At the beginning, Taizong Palace changed to ascend the throne, and as the emperor, he naturally wanted to be rewarded, so he recruited the Xuanjia Jingqi into the palace and let them serve as his own guards.

There is a good saying, die in peace.

After the death of the older generation of knights, the new knights no longer go to the battlefield, and if you want to become a large internal guard, the competition is no longer the level of martial arts, but the background of connections.

The Kwantung rebellion, the rebels reached Chang'an, and the Ouchi guards dressed in Xuan armor also went to the battlefield, however, in Weinan, on the north bank of Weishui, they were defeated by an ordinary cavalry team of the rebels. The most infuriating thing is that they didn't suffer any damage, which means that there are not many guys who are really killed or injured in battle, they just have no fighting spirit, and they scatter as soon as they come into contact.

These cavalry teams composed of the sons of the family have long since lost their bravery.

Of course, these guys are not all waste, their martial arts are not bad from the family, it's just that they don't have the will to fight desperately for the emperor at all, and it is normal to escape from the battle, anyway, even so, the emperor Lao Tzu has no way to take them.

None of the armor warriors who were sent by Linghu Xingzhi to follow Du Rui were from families, some were sect disciples, some were once ronins on the rivers and lakes, and some were samurai who defected from Kanto. In Linghu Xingzhi's view, these people are more loyal, among them, there are loyal to the Du family, such as Nie Yuan, and there are also loyal to him Linghu Xingzhi, for example, now this guard who follows Xu Xinyan.

His name is Hua Chong, a native of Jizhou, who was originally a personal soldier under the account of the Jizhou Jiedu envoy, because he had a relationship with the concubine of the Jiedu envoy, he had to flee, and in the end, he successfully escaped into Guanzhong. After that, he wandered around Chang'an City and became a ronin warrior, collecting money to help people, and later was valued by Linghu Xingzhi and became his man.

In the end, he was arranged by Linghu Xingzhi to enter Ouchi and became a guard.

This time, he was sent to Handanjun Du Rui's side, in addition to protecting Handanjun, he also has another task, that is, to closely monitor Handanjun's every move, and everything must be reported through specific channels.

More than an hour ago, Hua Chong drove the horse out of the Xuanzhen Temple and went to Xinglu.

Du Rui instructed him to go to Xinglu, invite Xu Xinyan, and bring the medicine box, the necessary emergency equipment, and go to Fuqingxing, which is located on the other side of Wannian County.

When they set out from Xinglu, a strong wind was blowing, and dark clouds were pouring in the sky like a black tide.

However, with Du Rui's orders, even if it is a knife, they must go.

After a while, they turned the long street and continued to gallop forward, until they reached the end of the street, where Fuqing Xing was located, and two black lions were placed in front of the door, and their expressions looked very fierce.

The black-painted gate was ajar, and the wind kept beating against the gate, making a crackling sound, but the gate was unmoved, and if you looked closely, the gate was all made of fine iron, and if it were not for the samurai's hands, ordinary people would not be able to push it. At this time, outside the half-open gate, on the top of the steps, two samurai stood on the left and right, even in the wind, still standing straight and solemn, like two statues.

These two samurai are Fu Qingxing's guards, and they are no worse than the soldiers in the army.

At the beginning, the Zhao family was able to go far away from the Western Regions, if there was no strong force under his hands, it would not be possible, although the road to the Western Regions was broken, with a group of elite warriors, and a little incense at the beginning, from time to time, the Zhao family could also get some treasures from the Western Regions, of course, as before, as if an army was as mighty, that was not possible.

Xu Xinyan and Hua rushed off the horse, and the statue at the door immediately came to life.

They first looked at the door vigilantly, and saw Xu Xinyan holding a medicine box in his hand, although the cloth towel covered his face, he was dressed as a medicine man, and then saw Hua Chong, a knight in Xuanjia, who followed behind. One of the guards slipped through the half-hidden door and roared inside, while the other hurried over, grabbed the reins of the horses in their hands, and led their mounts aside.

Xu Xinyan and Hua Chong stepped on the steps, the door was pushed open, making a dull sound, retreating to both sides, and someone hurried from inside and shouted loudly.

"But Lang Zhong invited by Handan Jun?"

Xu Xinyan replied yes.

The man didn't say anything more, and hurriedly led Xu Xinyan and Hua Chong to the courtyard.

The room is very dark, the light does not shine through the gate, and it hovers in vain at the door, of course, the current weather, the sun is covered by dark clouds, and there is no power, but even if the sun is shining, the sun cannot shine through the thick wall, and can only stay at the door, inside is a gloomy road, there are more than ten rooms on both sides of the road, there is no door, and some are thick wooden fences.

The room naturally has no furniture, only a huge wooden couch is placed against the wall, covered with dry yellow wheat grass, and there is a huge variegated gray cloth on the wheat grass, in fact, it should be a white linen cloth when you look closely, but it is a long time, and I don't know how many people have slept on it, and it seems that there is no meaning of cleaning, so in the blink of an eye, it has become a gray cloth with many bizarre patterns.

Zhao Sanxiao personally led Du Rui and his entourage into here, this place he called the cowshed, where the children who lived in the cowshed were children who had just been collected from the countryside or the market, because they had not undergone special training, they were the lowest-level existences, called grass labels, because the children's parents would stick a piece of hay behind their heads when they sold them.

Under normal circumstances, they will stay here for half a year or more, and if they have learned the way of slavery seriously, and the basic qualities of all kinds of slaves are up to standard, they will move out of the cowshed and live in the front yard, where there are still a few people living in one room, or a huge wooden couch, but the furniture and furnishings are much better than those of ordinary country houses.

Only trained slaves will be recommended to guests, and if these straw labels that have not been trained by the stewards are sold, it will be a blow to the signboard of Fuqing Xing.

However, Wei Yue only needs to buy grass labels under the age of sixteen, which is Du Rui's order.

Du Rui doesn't need those trained and brainwashed slaves to serve, if he needs someone to serve, wouldn't those chamberlains and palace maids in the palace be even more good, he bought these children in order to cultivate his own team, there are some things, he needs someone to do, these things, to Yang Nan and Scar Liu, he and Yang Nan and Scar Liu's brothers are still separated by a layer after all.

In this world, there is also Corporal Lixian.

However, at least they were treated with courtesy, even if they were low-ranking scholars.

In the previous life of Fuso, there were Gong clans and Shi clans, and in this world it is the same, there are Gong clans and Shi clans, Gong clan refers to those gate valve families, and Shi clan refers to those who work for gate valve families, and samurai are also included.

Any martial artist who cultivates true qi and opens up the second vein of Ren Du can be called a warrior.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to combat the influence of the gate valve family, there was a civil and military imperial examination, and all the warriors who opened up the two veins of Ren Du could receive a tiger head copper seal, with the identity of a warrior, and the official was undefeated.

Today, this imperial examination system still exists.

It's just that the non-academic department or the martial arts department has been reduced to going through the motions, and it has become a shortcut for the children of the gate valve family to enter the court, and only a very small number of guys from humble backgrounds can squeeze in.

Corporal Lixian refers to such a person.

Like Yang Nan and Scar Six are not scholars, and even more so are those guys under their hands, they regard Du Rui as a god, and the god is high and unapproachable.

Du Rui naturally couldn't get along with those people.

He needed these sketches, these teenagers who had not been brainwashed and trained.

Brainwash?

Just do it yourself!
