Thirty miles northwest of Chengdu, in a deep and tortuous valley in the Qiongxia Mountains, Li Qing and his party stopped, looking at the huge mountain in front of them that seemed to be split by the heavenly immortals, Li Qing felt the magic of nature for the first time.

Seeing this, Wang Jie, who was following behind Li Qing, also said with extraordinary emotion: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, in order to find this place to train soldiers, my subordinates spent a lot of effort, and in the process, they even paid a lot of lives for the Four Spirit Warriors.

The area of the valley is very large, there are two springs and a mountain spring in the valley, even if the daily training of 50,000 troops in the valley will not seem crowded, the only way to enter the valley is the mountain crack in front of which is not more than three feet wide, if you hoard enough food in the valley, even if you use tens of thousands of troops to besiege this place, it will not help.

Nodding, he looked back at Wang Ji behind him, paused for a long time, and then said slowly: "Mr. has a heart, but the private placement soldier is not trivial after all, the less people know about this matter, the better, if it is necessary, you can use the secret guard to clear some unnecessary trouble!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Ji unconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured, in the palace, there are no more than a few people who know about this matter, and even the people who deliver grain and vegetables here every month are elite and reliable people who are personally selected by their posts, and there will never be any accidents!" ”

didn't let Li Qing wait long, and saw Mu Fan, who was dressed in white armor, appear in front of Li Qing and the others under the escort of several personal guards, obviously he had already received the news that Li Qing was coming, and Mu Fan's heroic face did not show the slightest surprise.

After instructing the soldiers to open the checkpoint, Mu Fan nodded to Wang Jie, and then walked towards the valley with Li Qing and the others.

I have to say that this naturally formed mountain gate is deep enough, and it took a stick of incense to do it, Li Qing and the others saw the light of day again, looking back at the deep and tortuous mountain gate, the last worry in Li Qing's heart completely disappeared.

In the valley, the green grass is like grass, the sound of drill, the sound of the sound is in the ears, and there are thousands of soldiers wearing mountain armor and holding white tasseled spears, these people are divided into two phalanxes, under the command of two Guo Yi Du Lieutenants wearing bright light armor, they stab forward and backward, looking at the unanimous and murderous movements of these soldiers, it is obvious that the training time is not short.

At this moment, Mu Fan, who was still acting as a commentator, followed Li Qing's gaze and said: "Your Highness, now there are 10,000 soldiers in the valley, divided into ten parts, each of which is led by a Zhichong Lieutenant and two Guoyi Lieutenants, each part is five regiments, the regiment has a captain, each regiment is divided into two brigades, and a brigade commander is set up, these people are carefully selected from His Highness's personal guard battalion, and their loyalty to His Highness is unshakable. ”

As for the one His Highness saw, it was the Spear Department, and each of them had been trained for three years at most and two years at least, and now they were all combatants.

Mu Fan's eyes moved slightly, looking at the hundreds of crossbowmen not far away who were holding Tang crossbows and firing at the target in front of him, and said to Li Qing: "Your Highness, please look, these five hundred people are members of the bow and crossbow department, and next to them are five hundred archers, Your Highness should not underestimate these people, these archers are all top treasures, if you want to talk about the degree of scarcity, I am afraid they are second only to the cavalry and the Mo swordman." ”

Speaking of this, Mu Fan took Li Qing to walk a stick of incense, and what caught his eye was a mighty soldier with a tall horse holding a Mo knife, the dark mountain armor was draped on his body, the sun shone down, and the armor reflected a strange light, one by one like an iron tower, a Mo knife with a cold light was wielded by them, even if it was far enough, Li Qing could still feel the murderous aura brought by the Mo knife.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the production process of these Mo knives is extremely complicated, and the cost is expensive, on average, it costs at least sixty taels of silver to build a good Mo knife, if it weren't for His Highness personally explaining that the establishment of the Mo knife hand must be retained anyway, the subordinates would have removed this department a long time ago, just one hundred Mo knife hands, and it cost ten thousand taels of silver before and after, and these money saved enough to re-recruit a soldier!"

Naturally, I understand Mu Fan's complaints, the mountains and rivers of Jiannan Road are stretched, and the forests are lush, it is precisely because of this that looking at Jiannan, except for Hanzhou, there is no formed cavalry at all, and the Mo swordsman, who is the natural enemy of the cavalry, has no need to exist.

It's just that Li Qing naturally has his own reasons for doing this, for now, time is money, Li Qing did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars to build a complete Mo Dao Player, what he really wanted to deal with was Fan Yang Jingqi under An Lushan, of course, these Li Qing naturally would not talk about it to anyone, and it was precisely because of this that there would be complaints from Mu Fan in front of him.

Waving his hand, Li Qing said slowly: "This king naturally has the king's considerations when he does this!" ”

Next, under the leadership of Mu Fan, Li Qing visited a lot of the remaining parts before and after, and he had to look at it, the results were far better than those of him, although the 10,000 sergeants who belonged to the outside of the establishment had not yet completed their armor and weapons, but because of the perennial secret training, they had a killing atmosphere, and there was no doubt that if the weapons were complete, they would not be inferior to any elite of the border army.

Accompanied by Wang Ji and the two, Li Qing and his entourage walked on foot for about half an hour, and what came into view was an independent camp, the black flags embroidered with the word "Yingrui" on two sides above the gate were waving in the wind, and at the gate made of heavy mountain wood, eight black-clothed men stood with swords like statues, adding a few wisps of mystery to the barracks in front of them.

Looking at the Yingrui military flag waving in front of him, Mu Fan, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, flashed a subtle jealousy in his bright eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Your Highness, this is the Yingrui military camp, these people are all characters who kill people without blinking, and the control is extremely strict, if there is no waist card of His Highness, the trespasser will die!" ”

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, in the past four years, the last general has had the honor to enter their camp once, compared to them, our training is like child's play, don't hide it from Your Highness, if you want to talk about the skill of arching horses and personal skills, I am afraid that any of them can serve as a brigade commander under the command of the last general!"

nodded with satisfaction, it seems that in four years, Xiao Yuan really did not disappoint himself!

Taking two steps forward, looking at the eight strong men in black with sharp eyes in front of him, Li Qing didn't say much, and took out the gold medal symbolizing his identity from his arms.

Looking at this unique token, the eight strong men in black were obviously stunned, and after a while, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed down and said, "My subordinates meet the Lord!" ”

Seeing the eight strong men in black behaving like this, Mu Fan, who had been following Li Qing from beginning to end, sighed, I have to say that over the years, living in the same valley with this Eagle Sharp Army, Mu Fan himself was the first time to see these Eagle Sharp soldiers so respectful to a person, even in the face of their main general, these Eagle Sharp soldiers only bowed down, and never bowed, but when he thought about the identity of the man in front of him, Mu Fan gradually understood in his heart.

In the past four years, the Xuanyi Shouwang in front of him seems to have delegated power everywhere, but those who have a heart can naturally find that the control of the Shouwang Mansion over Jiannan Dao has not been weakened with the deep residence of the man in front of him, on the contrary, today's Jiannan Dao has no matter how big or small, and the military and political money and food can be said to be in the hands of one person, and that person is His Royal Highness Shouwang in front of him.

Looking at the eight black-clothed people kneeling on the ground, Li Qinglang said loudly: "Can you generals be in the camp?" ”

In the face of Li Qing's inquiry, these black-clothed warriors did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and a slightly older man in black bowed down and said, "Back to the Lord, the general is training the new brother in the camp at the moment!" ”
