Chapter 168: Rivalry (I)

"Let him in!"

As Xiao Yi's words fell, one person strode into the main hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Baotai, who is eye-catching, has dry and light short hair, less stubble draped over his face, and is wearing the old iron armor of the management officer, and his figure is slightly taller among the six management officers, and he is also burly.

Zhou Baotai Liu Yiming had seen him a few times before, and the feeling he had when he entered the Qianhu Official Hall this time was completely different, although the layout before and after had basically not changed.

But he felt a sense of depression, Xiao Yi was in the first place in an official uniform, although he didn't look at himself, he had a faint majesty.

And the few people on Xiao Yi's side, all of them were tall and murderous, and Zhou Baotai knew that the murderous aura and the sense of depression that came out of these people were not pretended.

From their eyes, Zhou Baotai could see that these people had experienced a lot of battles, and this kind of momentum in the face of death could only be manifested in this way.

As soon as Zhou Baotai entered the main hall, he respectfully bowed to Xiao Yi, deliberately making his voice not seem too trembling, and he said: "See the defense lord!" ”

Xiao Yi snorted lightly and said, "Zhou Baotai, what are you doing here?" After speaking, he put down the official document in his hand and looked directly at him.

Zhou Baotai's gaze made contact with Xiao Yi's projected eyes, and at that moment Zhou Baotai saw a bone-chilling chill in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he subconsciously shuddered, and his eyes trembled and lowered.

"My lord, this..."

Xiao Yi chuckled, walked to Zhou Baotai's side, and asked, "Is it for Dong Zhen's dismissal of the old and weak." ”

Zhou Baotai nodded slowly, and said stubbornly: "My lord, there were forty-two military households under the humble position, and Dong Zhenfu cut thirty people at once, and only twelve people remained, this..."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he suddenly asked loudly: "Zhou Baotai, do you think that if the Tartars call, can you keep the people safe by relying on those military households under you?" ”

Zhou Baotai was also impulsive here, and he regretted it at the moment, and he knew well about the old and weak Zhou Baotai under him.

At this time, there was no words, but the lips trembled, but not a word.

I only heard Xiao Yi snort coldly and said: "You don't need the Tartars to call, I'm afraid it's those peasant rogues, they are all unstoppable, what am I Xiao Yi keeping them doing with this kind of waste?" ”

He continued to shout, "My Yong'an Army has never been a weak brigade since the fort was built, and I believe that they can defend the peace of Peach Blossom Fort when the Tartars and thieves come to war. ”

Zhou Baotai's face turned red, and he was ashamed in his heart, he had heard the names of Xiao Yi and Yong'an Jun for a long time, and he defeated the horse smokers and horse gangs at the beginning of the construction of the fort.

The battle of Xiaowutai Mountain was a hard-fought battle with the Tartars, and the invincible Tartars were helpless against them with the same number of people, and finally annihilated them.

Some time ago, nearly 2,000 thieves were exterminated with hundreds of people, and there were no bandits in Changning Town, all kinds of achievements show what kind of army Xiao Yi's Yongan Army is.

His burly body could no longer stand upright, and he could no longer stand to meet the eyes of Xiao Yi and others, so he only heard him kneel on the ground with a 'poof'.

"My lord, plead guilty!"

Xiao Yi stepped forward at this time to help Zhou Baotai who was kneeling, Zhou Baotai looked again, Xiao Yi's eyes were already full of softness, and he only heard him ask softly: "I heard that the king is in charge of the team, Lord Zhou's equestrian skills are exquisite, I wonder if Lord Zhou can demonstrate one or two for this official?" ”

Zhou Baotai's eyes were full of consternation, originally he thought that he would be heavily punished for coming here to make trouble unreasonably, but he didn't want Xiao Yi to have the slightest intention of punishment.

When it comes to equestrianism, Zhou Baotai seems to be a different person, he hugged his fists and said very confidently: "How do you want to demonstrate, you will definitely go all out!" ”

Xiao Yi laughed, patted Zhou Baotai's shoulder hard, and said, "In this way, you have a lesson with Liu Sheng, the deputy commander of the night team, and use the wooden sword to let me go!" ”

Since Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army entered Peach Blossom Fort, the barracks and horse farms in the fort that few people usually care about are full of people all day long, and you can always see Yong'an soldiers in fine armor practicing there.

The same is true of the horse farm, which used to be often the only one in the past, looking lonely and dilapidated, but since Xiao Yi took office, everything has changed.

Every time he went to the horse farm to prepare for horse training, he could see that Yong'an Jun's Ye Bushu was already practicing diligently, shouting and the sound of horses' hooves were intertwined, although their equestrian skills were quite superb in Zhou Baotai's opinion, but they were still training hard.

What impressed Zhou Baotai the most was not any of them, but all of them, all of them trained every day and no one was dissatisfied, which also made Zhou Baotai more and more admired Xiao Yi.

……

After about two incense sticks, in addition to the daily patrol sentry, the rest of the people Xiao also gathered them all to the racecourse, and in the center of the racecourse were two people, Zhou Baotai and Liu Sheng.

Both of them are holding wooden broadswords, Zhou Baotai is wearing an old iron armor, and Liu Tong is wearing the fine armor and bright helmet of the deputy commander of the Yongan Army, and Zhou Baotai is envious.

Liu Tong kept wielding the wooden knife, his eyes were full of disdain for Zhou Baotai, and behind him were a group of Yong'an Army soldiers cheering for him.

Zhou Baotai looked at Liu Tong, his eyes were contemplative, and his right hand slowly stroked the wooden knife, as if he was talking to the wooden knife.

And Xiao Yi, Huang Yang and others watched from the top, Wang Dayong looked at the two people in the field carefully, and when he saw Liu Sheng's provocative movements and eyes, he slowly shook his head, Liu Sheng was too arrogant.

Shi Lu and Huang Yang were also laughing and talking about something, Xiao Yi walked up to the two of them and asked, only then did he realize that Shi Lu and Huang Yang had different opinions from most people, and the two of them felt that Liu Sheng would lose.

Shi Gang and Liu Tong came over after hearing this, and Shi Gang was full of disbelief.

"I still don't believe that Liu Xiaozi has fought all the way from Jingshi to here, and he still can't win this guy?"

Liu Tong also nodded again and again, obviously agreeing.

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Dayong, Wang Dayong just groaned, and Xiao Yi's eyes matched, Xiao Yi understood Wang Dayong's thoughts a little.

Xiao Yi also knew that his subordinates were already full of arrogance when they almost lost battles, and since they all said that Zhou Baotai had a hand in kung fu immediately, let him and Liu Sheng try.

First, you can test whether it is true, and secondly, if Liu Tong is defeated, it is also possible to let these arrogant boys have a long memory, and not be so unpopular.

Xiao Yi looked at the arena with great interest, and I have to say that he is also looking forward to this competition.

"Brother Liu, hit him!"

"Deputy Commander Liu will win!"

Liu Sheng, as the first batch of veterans of Liaodong, has always been the deputy commander of the team that does not close at night, and he has always killed at least four or five Tartars, and his prestige in the Yongan army where the strong are supreme is naturally very high.

At this moment, he finally looked at Zhou Baotai, who had been staring at him, Zhou Baotai met Liu Sheng's gaze, and the eyes of the two burst into fierce sparks, and the cheers in the audience were even higher. (To be continued.) )
