Xiao Yi and his entourage arrived at Changning Town before noon when they left Mashuikou in the morning, and the team here is called Wang Changliang. When Xiao Yi and his party entered the town www.biquge.info of Changning, they found that this town was different from the dilapidated villages they had passed through in these days.

Xiao Yi and some of the villages they passed through were all in charge of where they had fled, and the imperial court was powerless to manage these things. Let these routs either go up the mountain to be cowards or join the bandits.

In fact, the officials of the Ming Dynasty at this time had the same attitude towards all kinds of thieves, including thieves and horse gangs. thinks that these people can't become a big climate, and even Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, once said, "The thieves are all poor people who have nothing to eat, and Xu Zidinger." ”

Not to mention some other local officials, they are all blind to the rise of thieves, anyway, they can't beat some important cities, plus they are afraid of Emperor Chongzhen's punishment, and they don't report the army of thieves, thinking that these thieves will automatically subside after a while, so that there are more and more thieves, and now there are more than 100 thieves in Shaanxi Province alone.

Xiao Yi and his entourage arrived in Changning Town and went straight to Wang Changliang's residence, and when they got it, they found that Wang Changliang was talking to several people who looked like generals in the hall, so Xiao Yi went to the door and asked Xiao Ding, who was guarding the door, to report.

Unexpectedly, this doorkeeper Xiao Ding saw Xiao Yi and his party but his face was displeased, just now he was dreaming of marrying the widow Wang on the street, and he was in the cave room, and the good thing was about to be done, but he was disturbed by the group of people in front of him.

The impatient Xiao Ding yawned, "Let's go, the adults said that no one will be seen today." After that, he quickly closed his eyes, thinking that he wanted to take over the job.

Shi Gang was in a hurry, and was about to speak angrily. But was pulled by Shi Lu, Xiao Yileng was stunned, I didn't expect this little Ding who was guarding the door to have such a temper?

Patient, Xiao Yi took out two taels of silver from his arms and quietly reached into the little ding's hand, "I'm still tired of the little brother for the report, and I'm grateful." ”

That Xiao Ding was sleepy-eyed and fell asleep immediately, but he suddenly touched the silver in his arms, his eyes lit up, and he was immediately in good spirits, and he smiled, "My lord and his party are burly and heroic when they see it, wait for a while, and I will inform my family." After saying that, I can't be happy, it seems that this group of people is still quite knowledgeable, it seems that today I can go to the widow Wang to drink, and I can peek at her snake-like figure.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding couldn't help but drool, wiped his saliva and hurriedly entered the hall to make a statement. Shi Gang and the others who were watching had a chill.

Xiao Yi sighed softly, it was okay to be in a hurry, but I felt that the weather was cold when I was free. Even the exhalation of the horses and the breath of Xiao Yi and the others are all white gas. The clothes on everyone's bodies are still a little thin, and they are tightly wrapped around the armor on their bodies, constantly moving back and forth to want more warmth.

After a while, Xiao Ding came out, but waved his hand and said, "Go back, the adults don't see you." ”

Xiao Yi slapped his head and forgot to get down to business, this was his own fault. Slightly apologetic, he said to Xiao Ding, "I have to bother the little brother again, these two silver coins will be used as the little brother's drinking money, and it will be said that Lord Lu Xiangsheng is a friend to visit." ”

That Xiao Ding didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng didn't know at this time, but when he saw that he had money to take, he immediately quietly put the silver into his arms, "Okay, just wait." ”

After a while, there were bursts of hurried footsteps in the hall, and three unfamiliar but smiling faces appeared in front of Xiao Yi and the others, but they were Wang Changliang, the officer in charge of the team, and the other two generals.

Wang Changliang originally came out to see if he was Lu Xiangsheng's friend, and heard that Lu Xiangsheng won the battle in Beijing and was promoted to be the governor of Xuanda, and he was already promoted, Wang Changliang had also met Lu Xiangsheng in the past, sighing that there was no such luck, and he was envious. was talking, but it happened that Xiao Ding came to report that Lu Xiangsheng's friend was coming, and several people hurriedly went out to have a look.

A few people went out of the hall but saw Xiao Yi and more than forty people, all of whom were horse teams, almost occupying the street in front of the door. This is not the main thing, the main thing is that Wang Changliang was surprised by these forty or so people as soon as he came out.

Although these people are all wearing shabby clothes, the tenacity and essence in their eyes can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. is accustomed to seeing the big soldiers under his command who eat and drink all day long, and when he looks at the people behind Xiao Yi, he knows the gap at first sight.

Wang Changliang thought about it at the moment, what is the origin of this Xiao Yi, there is such a horse team of more than 40 people? Could it be that Lu Xiangsheng is the officer of the dismounted team? What did Lu Xiangsheng ask him to do here, this is not Xuanfu.

Wang Changliang was surprised, but he was not stupid, and opened his mouth to ask, "Is there a certificate to prove it?" ”

After Xiao Yi listened, he took out an envelope from his arms, Wang Changliang took it and looked at it, a few vigorous and powerful characters on the envelope, who could it be if it wasn't Lu Xiangsheng's book, and who could write it like this today.

After confirming, Wang Changliang did not open the envelope, but returned the envelope to Xiao Yi. This envelope is indicated to be for the defensive officer Liu Yiming, who is only a team leader, but he has no right to open it.

Xiao Yi followed into the hall and bowed to Wang Changliang. Xiao Yi is very annoyed by this kind of etiquette, but Da Ming has such rules, and Xiao Yi can't do it if he doesn't follow them, here Xiao Yi secretly thinks that if he has strength in the future, he must change these rules.

Wang Changliang sat on the chair and watched Xiao Yi finish his salute, then he walked over slowly and helped Xiao Yi up, signaling that Xiao Yi didn't have to be polite. opened his mouth again, "It's a friend of Lord Lu, it's a friend of me, and this one is Xiao Yi..."

The one on the left, dressed in a hundred household official uniforms, is Li Zhen, the team officer of Changning Town, trying out 100 households. The man on the right in old leather armor is the captain of Wang Changliang's team, named Zhang Ru. This Zhang Ru has a feminine name, but it is not Sven at all. With a sparse stubble on his face, a square face, and a Daming hat on the square table on his side, he had a lean face.

And that Li Zhen has a hooked nose, and his face doesn't know what he has experienced, he has always been gloomy and terrible, and there is still a trace of disdain in his eyes when he looks at Xiao Yi.

Datong Town in Daming generally has 50 people per team, and there are team officers and team officers, each leading about half of the people, this Li Zhen is the team officer of Changning Town, but he has always had a gloomy face.

After Xiao Yi bowed, he opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Yi came here from the Jingshi, just to see the defense master on the order of Lord Lu, and I hope that the lord can introduce him, and Xiao Yi is grateful." After speaking, he clenched his fists and bowed his head again.

Wang Changliang didn't hesitate at all, and stepped forward, "It's okay, this is what this official should do, so why talk about thanks." Xiao Yi, you wait for a long time, I think you will rest in my town for one night, and I will introduce you tomorrow. ”

Li Zhen opened his mouth at this time and said, "Yes, in comparison, my small Changning Town can still accommodate you." After speaking, he crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Xiao Yi with a little sarcasm.

Xiao Yi originally wanted to refuse, but this Li Zhen has spoken to such an extent, if Xiao Yi refuses, wouldn't he be screwing with Shangguan? Moreover, Li Zhen and Wang Changliang must have dealt with them a lot in the future, if there is a gap at this time, it will not be easy in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi readily accepted.

Xiao Yi and his brothers also rushed for half a day, and they were tired, so they just happened to repair here. Thank you two adults, if you have nothing to do, Xiao will retire first. "Then slowly retreat.

Walking out of the hall, Huang Yang, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong, Shi Lu, and Liu Tong hurriedly stepped forward to ask, what they said, how was it, how was it going, and so on. Xiao Yi laughed and spoke, "It's okay, it's just that some things are inconvenient to say here, let's find a place to camp first and then talk in detail." ”

Everyone promised, and they followed Xiao Yi to a small forest and set up a simple camp.

Xiao Yi also wanted to live in Changning Town, but the price was too expensive, saying that it cost two taels of silver per person a night, and Xiao Yi had nearly fifty people under him, so it would cost more than 100 taels this night, which was too expensive for Xiao Yi, who only had 400 taels. The second is that Xiao Yi is unwilling to disturb the people, but one day, Xiao Yi can find a place in the wild.
