Chapter 116: Traitor
The dark and noisy lobby has long been silent, and those ladies of the family who have been imprisoned and free by etiquette for a long time have completely fallen in love with eating large pieces of meat and drinking in large bowls after a night of heavy drinking, and Miss Zhuge knew that the dog meat she ate was the most beloved 'Huang'er', and she lifted the table when she was drunk, and finally was knocked over to the ground by Lin Fengshuang, who had commanded thousands of troops, and the matter was over.
Watching people go to the lobby without a trace, Li Ang looked at Lin Fengshuang, whose cheeks were a little red beside him, "You beat Miss Zhuge well, aren't you afraid that she will trouble you in the future?" ”
"I don't care who she is, anyway, she flips the table in our house and plays drunk, even if she is a princess, I will do the same." Looking at Li Ang with a cold face, Lin Fengshuang's eyes were full of tenderness, she touched Li Ang's face and muttered, "I still like the way you look now!" ”
Looking at the figure of Lin Fengshuang leaving, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Ang's mouth, he turned around and looked at the waning moon in the dark sky, the tenderness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Trist and Li Yanzong beside him followed him to the study in the distance.
Flames rose and lit up the room, and Leon looked at Trist, "How is the dart game going during this time?" ”
"It's almost built." Trist replied, "It's just that in terms of manpower, according to you, I haven't found any of them." ”
"You don't have to rush to do the business of this dart game, let's start Siniang's restaurant first." Li Ang pondered for a moment and asked Trist, "Are there any orphans in this Chang'an City?" ”
"Hui Gongzi, although Chang'an is rich. However, there are still many poor families in Chang'an, and some ruthless fathers and mothers will throw away their unsupported children or send them to orphanages run by the imperial dynasty. Trist said, shaking his head. When he was a small official, he had seen a lot of such things, and he was still a little embarrassed when he thought about it.
"An orphanage?" Leon looked at Trist, "The Imperial Dynasty has managed these orphanages, what will happen to those children in the end?" ”
"When you reach the age of fourteen, you'll be kicked out." Trist replied. There was some bitterness on his face, "The money allocated by the household department to the orphanage is only enough to barely let those children live to the age of fourteen, and they can't control what happens after that, those children will either become minions of the gang, or they will be bought by the Qinglou, or they will become beggars." ”
"Does the Imperial Dynasty care about nothing?" Li Yanzong's body trembled a little, he entered the deep mountains since he was a child, and the place he accepted was the belief of the prosperous era of Great Qin. This kind of thing happened in Great Qin, which was unacceptable to him.
"Yan Zong. This world is like this, light and shadow exist with each other, there are good people, there will be bad people. There was some sadness in Leon's eyes, and he looked out the window into the darkness, "It is also a constant principle that prosperity must decline. ”
"To put it this way. Maybe it's a little more serious, but if it continues like this, maybe those people will really ruin Great Qin in the future. Leon withdrew his gaze from the darkness outside the window, looked at Trist and Li Yanzong, who were staring at him, and threw the paperwork of the Secret Cavalry Camp to the two of them.
"From now on, you two will be Dark Rider Camp People." Glancing at the two people who were shocked by the 'Dark Riding Camp', Li Ang said quietly. "Tomorrow, I will go to the Black Cavalry Army of Chang'an Duhufu to select 300 people as the early troops, and the people behind me will all be selected from the orphans in the orphanage."
"Whoa!" Trist and Li Yanzong saluted at the same time, their bodies trembled, for them who were foreigners, they could enter the Great Qin Legion. It was an almost extravagant glory, and at the same time, Leon's absolute trust in them.
In the study. The candlelight went out, and in the darkness, Li Ang was quietly leaning on the back of the chair behind him, with a cold gaze in his eyes.
The next day, in the large camp of the Chang'an Protectorate, a thousand soldiers selected from various scout teams stood in the wind and snow, staring at the cold officers walking in the distance, each of them with a straight chest and a longing for the battlefield in their eyes.
"Among you, I will choose three hundred to be my men." Li Ang looked at the group of soldiers standing quietly in the wind and snow in front of him, his eyes were like swords, "They will hover between life and death from now on, killing or being killed, is everything they will do in the future." ”
"Willing to be my subordinate and take a step forward." Leon's voice was low. In the wind and snow, suddenly thunder sounded, and a thousand soldiers took a step forward in unison, each of them as if beaten with iron, standing still in the wind and snow.
Looking at the rows and rows of black soldiers standing in the wind and snow, Li Ang's voice was still calm and calm, "The only child in the family, stand down." Brothers who serve in the army, for the young, retreat. ”
In silence, the two hundred and seventy-three soldiers gritted their teeth and took a heavy step back with reluctance on their faces. Looking at the rest of the people, Leon turned around, "In front of the school field, I'm waiting for those three hundred people." ”
In the howling wind and snow, the remaining six hundred and thirty-seven soldiers began to fight in silence, they were originally companions in an army, but in order to become one of the three hundred, they had to fight each other.
On the podium of the school field in the distance, Leon looked at the silent battlefield in the wind and snow, always looking at the soldiers, and several black cavalry officers beside him looked at him, and suddenly found that the calm and calm momentum actually made them have a faint chill.
In the end, three hundred soldiers arrived at the school grounds, looking at them, Li Ang was in awe, in front of him was a real soldier, the kind of soldier who would only die in battle and not be defeated, "You have three days to go home." With that, Leon's fist slammed into his chest.
In the snowstorm, the soldiers and Leon had already left, leaving only the few Black Cavalry officers, "I don't know how many people will survive in the end, alas! ”
In Chang'an City, the largest orphanage, Li Ang looked at the children wearing patched old clothes, eating bran vegetables and rancid steamed buns, Li Ang looked at the courtyard beside him with a rich face, "I don't care what you did before, but if I see them wearing such clothes and eating such things in the future, I will kill you." ”
Under Li Angrudao's gaze, the courtyard was trembling in his heart, he looked at the terrifying eyes in fear, and couldn't say a word, just nodded his head with his teeth 'out of place'.
"Go to the East Market and buy some new cotton clothes and shoes." Li Ang turned around and looked at Li Yanzong beside him. commanded. "Yes, Lord." Li Yanzong glared at the courtyard fiercely. Strode away.
"Let the kitchen go and buy meat and rice, and relight the fire to cook rice." Li Ang said coldly to the courtyard. "Yes, yes, I'll go." Cold sweat was already pouring out of his back, and he replied hurriedly, fleeing like a fly.
"Atri. How many such orphanages are there? Leon looked at Trist behind him, his brow furrowed.
"Childe, these orphanages run by the emperor, the children still have clothes to wear, yes
The orphanage opened by those gangs is called..."Trist shook his head.
"You go check the gangs." Leon sneered, the cold glint that flashed in his eyes made Trist shudder.
In the evening, Li Yanzong and a few coachmen who were driving the car began to unload the new cotton clothes and shoes they had bought from the car. Leon looked at the orphanage guards who were standing still, and said coldly. "You're not going to help."
"What are you?" The strong man who led the way was the nephew of Yuan Zheng, and he didn't take Li Ang seriously at all.
In a muffled snort, the strong man was kicked on the stomach by Li Ang, and fell into the snow, spitting blood in his mouth, unable to say half a word. "Not yet." Leon's voice was heard. The frightened discipline woke up like a dream, rushed to the cart, and took the cotton clothes and shoes into the courtyard.
"My sir, my unsuccessful nephew is a bastard, you must not be like him." The courtyard that came in a hurry glanced at his nephew who got up from the ground, and hurriedly said to Li Ang, so that his nephew was stunned, and then he realized that he had provoked someone who should not be provoked.
"Those disciplines, I don't look like people who can manage children well, all of them have been changed!" Leon glanced at the courtyard. To put it mildly, it seems to be just a trivial matter.
"This. My lord. Sweat broke out on the forehead of the courtyard, and some of the discipline guards were specially taken care of and put him in, but they were all changed at once, and he couldn't afford it.
"I heard that the Supervision Yuan has recently changed people, and I want to burn his three fires." Li Ang glanced at the courtyard and said lightly.
"Don't worry, I will do it, I will do it." After listening to Li Ang's words, the courtyard suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly said, the newly appointed right governor of the Supervision Yuan, Yu Shi, is the former northern lieutenant, and he is ruthless, if he knows about the affairs here, he will lose his official affairs and make it bad, and it will be difficult to protect the head on his neck.
Looking at the children who were happy for a new coat, a new pair of shoes, and a hot meal of rice and pork, Li Ang looked at the courtyard and the discipline beside him, and there was indescribable disgust in his voice, "You are really a bunch of scum." ”
"Yes, my lord is right, we are not people, we are scum." The courtyard knew Li Ang's identity as a thousand households, and knew that he couldn't afford to provoke this lord in the army, so he just responded again and again.
Without looking at the courtyard again, Leon strode to the backyard, where more than a hundred children stood in the falling snow and watched him in unison. "Follow me, you may die in the future, it's too late to quit now." Leon's voice was calm. No one spoke, no one exited, the children just looked at Leon silently.
"Very good, from today on, you are the soldiers of Daqin, and you are no longer children." Leon turned around and left the courtyard, fearing that he would go crazy if he stayed any longer.
At night, Leon sent these orphans who had volunteered to become his soldiers to the dart board outside the city, but they chose to follow him because of a new cotton coat, a new pair of cotton shoes, and a full meal with meat.
After returning to the mansion, Li Ang stood in front of Qingzhidi's room for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Feng Siniang came behind him. "You seem to be very unhappy."
Walking in the courtyard in the snow, Li Ang looked at Siniang beside him, his face was a little tired, "Siniang, do you know, I went to the orphanage and let those orphans become my future soldiers, I actually have selfish intentions in my heart, I hope they will become my subordinates alone, and only obey my orders, you say, am I a bad person?" ”
"I don't know any big truths, but I know that everything you do is for the good of Daqin." Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang and said quietly, "You are the man I like Feng Siniang, so you can't doubt yourself, no matter what you do, you have to move forward bravely and defeat all the enemies who stand in your way." ”
"Thank you, Siniang." Looking at Feng Siniang who was leaving, Li Ang muttered to himself, and then he turned around and walked into the darkness.
Three days later, the 300 soldiers of the Black Cavalry arrived in a secluded valley to the north of the city, where they changed into new uniforms and, under the tutelage of Leon, began new training, especially in small team cooperation and assassination.
In the tent, Li Ang looked at Zhu Ting and Li Mowen, his brows furrowed, although the Jinyi Guard of the Zhenfu Division had found several Persian spy strongholds, but they were all in several lively large residential areas, it was a little difficult for people not to find out about them, and the most important thing was that there were currently how many Persian secret agents there were, and the Zhenfu Division and Jinyiwei could not be determined.
"Before spring comes, we must get rid of all the Persian agents." Li Ang said this, but Li Mowen and Zhu Ting both knew that they really didn't have much time left, although the cabinet and the military hall had secretly reached a decision to start a war against Persia, but the people in Chang'an City, Taixue students, and young children of the family did not know that they were still exerting tremendous pressure on the cabinet and the entire civilian official group, and the cabinet would never delay for too long for the outbreak of war.
After Li Mowen and Zhu Ting left, Li Ang frowned, he thought that maybe he should try to attack a Persian stronghold somewhere, and then ask for information, and finally he gave up this idea, and instead sent someone to Taixue to find Titis, he hoped that these Persian rivals would give him some useful news.
When Titis entered the secluded valley and saw the seemingly ordinary soldiers in the camp, he felt a faint fear in his heart, those soldiers gave him the feeling that they were too stable and terrifyingly stable, such an army in Rome could only be barely fought by the eagle troops of the Praetorian Guard.
"I've seen Master Li." After entering the tent, Titis looked at Leon, saluted, and then took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Leon.
Looking at the portrait of the Han on the paper, Leon looked at Titis, "Who is this person?" ”
"This person is one of the Persian spy chiefs in Chang'an, and he should have the complete information of the Persians' secret agent distribution base." Titis replied, "This is what the Double-headed Eagle's spies in Chang'an have made a lot of effort to inquire, and you have paid too much attention to the Persians, but you have not thought that you Han Chinese can also be bribed." ”
"I'll make him regret it." Li Ang rolled up the portrait, looked at Titis and said, "If the news is true, I will give you 50,000 gold baht as a fund to win over those people from Rome in Chang'an for Prince An Changsheng." ”
"You're so generous, Lord Lee!" Titis looked at Leon with a frosty look on his face and retreated in amusement.
