Chapter 190: Flying the Flag and Setting Out
The next day, early in the morning, someone shouted on the street: "He Dapeng and Liu Wenchang are dead!" ”
"I heard the footsteps of the Yong'an Army outside last night!"
"I heard it too, but I don't know if I caught it!"
The pot had exploded outside, and the priest and the warden were killed at the same time, which may not be a big deal in other places, after all, Peach Blossom Castle is only a small place, but in this Peach Blossom Castle is already a big deal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An inn on the second floor, in a guest room.
The scholar-looking man was packing his bags, he had come here to see what Xiao Yi was like, but yesterday alone had disappointed him, if it hadn't happened to happen, he would have left immediately.
He heard a few more shouts outside the originally peaceful house, thought about putting down his bags, and walked slowly out of the inn with his hands behind his back.
"What's going on outside?" At this time, he was polite, and the shopkeeper became very polite when he saw that he was dressed as a scholar, and the scholar was still respectable at this time.
"Hey, Childe doesn't know yet, both the priest and the warden were killed last night."
The man's expression changed, and then he asked in shock, "Are they all dead?" ”
The guy wiped the table and nodded and said, "Yes, the officers and soldiers are arresting the murderer, but seriously." Then the guy nervously came over.
The scholar-like person also listened to the past, only to hear the guy say: "This murderer killed well, the neighbors are all happy about it, I hope they will not be caught by adults, and the Yong'an Army is very strict with the handling of thieves." ”
The scholar nodded: "Excuse me." ”
He walked slowly back into the room, thought for a moment and opened the bags he had packed, and said to himself with a smile, "Interesting." ”
……
At the same time, in the official hall of a thousand households.
Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard the news last night, and that night he summoned all the generals of the Yongan Army to the official hall to discuss the matter, Shi Lu, Wang Dayong and others stood beside Xiao Yi, and they were still standing there expressionlessly.
Xiao Yi also specially asked people to notify the commander Zheng Zhong and the suppression of Dong Yinghua, and both of them also stood on the other side with a group of officials at this time.
Last night, because of this incident, Xiao Yi had already led a sentry army to search the whole fort, but there was still no trace.
Shi Gang strode into the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xiao Yi stood up and asked, "Shi Gang, what's wrong?" ”
Shi Gang sighed heavily, and said hatefully: "These 'little thieves' are like disappearing, there is no clue, will they have escaped from the fort?" ”
At this time, Gu Lin came out of the queue and said: "The matter has come to this point, and the aftermath should be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to delay going to the state city and deal with it in a low-key manner." ”
Gu Lin's words were quite pertinent, and even Zheng Zhong thought that Xiao Yi would let go of this matter.
But Xiao Yi refused without hesitation, and said loudly: "Lord He and Lord Liu are both officials, and the killing of the two of them is not the loss of this official, but the loss of the entire Peach Blossom Castle!" ”
He threw his hands on the table and shouted, "No matter what, the murderer must be arrested!" ”
"Shi Lu, this time you stay in Peach Blossom Castle, take me with an official letter to inform your subordinate forts, do your best to arrest these thieves, and if there is resistance, kill them all!"
Xiao Yi let Shi Lu stay behind for consideration, for a long time, Shi Lu's ability has been beyond doubt, especially when he returned to Liaodong to pick up the veteran's family.
Xiao Yi can see that it is almost Shi Lu's strength alone, which already shows that Shi Lu has the ability to take charge of himself.
Shi Lu strode forward and shouted: "Obey the order, when the lord returns, the humble duty will dedicate the head of the criminal to the lord to comfort the two lords in the heavenly spirit!" ”
The small officials behind Zheng Zhong were all nodding and talking, very satisfied with Xiao Yi's arrangement, Xiao Yi's handling method was sharp and decisive, and they all believed that if it wasn't for the imminent dispatch of troops this time, Xiao Yi would definitely go all out to chase the murderer.
Xiao Yi nodded, waved his hand, and said, "The whole army, assemble the school field!" ”
Zheng Zhong and Dong Yinghua stepped forward and said without humility or arrogance: "Congratulations to the Lord for your victory." ”
……
After about a cup of tea, the school yard of the Yong'an Army was full of people again.
Xiao Yi stood on the platform and looked around, there were all Yongan soldiers wearing helmets and armor, no matter from which angle they looked at it in a straight line.
Each of them did not squint, but stood upright and looked ahead, either holding spears in their hands, or shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and each wearing a shiny hat and helmet.
There are dozens of people on the most side, that is Liu Tong's three-eyed firecracker, they all have a pair of three-eyed guns, and the pitch-black guns tell people that this is definitely not a shoddy three-eyed guns.
Today is the day when the Yong'an Army marches out, and the people have already put down their farm work and rushed to watch the military posture and military appearance of the Yong'an Army around the school grounds.
Seeing their husbands and sons standing straight in the queue, their eyes were full of pride and joy, but mixed with a little reluctance.
Xiao Yi walked back and forth on the platform, and he suddenly said: "After a few days of practice and several tempering, this official can already say without hesitation that you are already real warriors, and each armor is out of rank!" ”
The entourage in the field was extremely proud, they were excited in their hearts, and they were all looking forward to killing thieves and making meritorious contributions, they looked at Xiao Yi wearing the white bright armor on the stage with neat eyes, and heard Xiao Yi's shouting order, and walked out of each queue with his head held high.
The armor on their bodies is roughly the same as that of ordinary sergeants, but if you look closely, there are some details that are different.
They stepped out of the ranks, staring at Xiao Yi, only to hear Xiao Yi shouting: "Give the flag!" ”
Xiao Yi continued: "This is the first time we have left the country to suppress bandits, and this official has decided to award each armor a pair of flags, each team of gun flags, each sentry four square flags, and another pair of high recruitment flags for our Yong'an Army flag. ”
He shouted: "As long as the flag does not fall, we will continue to fight until victory!" ”
Subsequently, there were many flags in the army, but a pair of high-flying banners fluttered in the wind, and the word 'Xiao' was written on it, which was deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
"Let's go!"
With Xiao Yi's shout, the three sentinels of the Yong'an Army drove out of the school field in a neat line, and there happened to be a newly established pier guard outside the school field.
One of the soldiers on duty immediately straightened up and watched the army move away.
Under the guards were crowds of people, who were on both sides of the road to say goodbye, including the cheers of congratulating the Yong'an army on its victory, and the reluctant cries of women and children to their husbands and fathers.
In short, the soldiers who went out with the team were full of passion because they were eager to make meritorious contributions.
And although their wives and children are full of pride, they are full of reluctance, who knows whose man will return triumphantly this time, and who will die on the battlefield and enter the ancestral hall of the Yong'an Army.
Xiao Yi looked at the school field where the flags were fluttering and nodded constantly, and he was full of pride in his heart.
This time will be the beginning of the Yong'an Army's outing, of course, we must put the flag clear, so that the Yong'an Army will enter the minds of those rogues for the first time, and in the future, we must make them frightened, and they will be terrified when they see the banner of the Yong'an Army lit up.
"Brother Xiao!"
A cry stripped Xiao Yi of his pride, and he suddenly turned around to see the unsightly person who was already crying, standing on the spot.
He deliberately didn't wake up the sleeping Huang E, he didn't think she was still coming, Xiao Yi was most afraid of this kind of parting, he felt guilty about Huang E in his heart.
He looked at Huang E with a forced smile, jumped on his horse and followed the team.
Huang E rushed to the front of the school field, followed by the Shi Lu people who were guarding him, and the two could only see the back of Xiao Yi prancing on the horse, accompanied by the Yongan Army fluttering around the flag and the high 'Xiao' flag.
Huang E's tears were like a kite with a broken string, and suddenly the person in front of him turned around on his horse, and everyone could hear a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Sister E, wait for my triumphant return!"
Huang E kept nodding her head, and suddenly stumbled, Xiao Yi's eyes tightened, and she was relieved to see He Ping stepping forward to support her, and she reluctantly turned back.
Shi Lu looked at the back of Xiao Yi's prancing horse, and sighed in his heart: The only one who can make Xiao Yi be like this is Huang E.
He Ping leaned on Shi Lu's shoulder, Shi Lu hugged He Ping, and looked at the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who were walking firmly in the direction of the rising sun. (To be continued.) )
