Since the sixth year of Hongwu when the Sichuan army was the general of the Cao Guogong in Yibin City set up the Shunan Wei Thousand Households, Hongwu ten years to promote the South of the guard, the east of the city of the guard continued to expand, to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, built the martial arts hall, the school barracks, the ordnance bureau, etc., together with the officers and soldiers barracks, accounted for the largest piece of land in the east of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At the beginning of its establishment, the southern guard army Rong Weizhen was half of the southwest, and the Yiren Tusi looked down to the wind and did not dare to make a rash move.

However, just like the guards in other parts of the world, in the last years of Wanli, the guards of the southern guard army were already rotten, and the young and strong fled into the wind, and the old and weak were useless and could not go into battle. After the outbreak of the Lu'an Rebellion in the first year of the Apocalypse, the Southern Wei accelerated the establishment of a battalion with the generals and soldiers as the backbone and the guards selected by the army as the auxiliary, and played a huge role in the war. Although the rebellion of Lu'an has gradually calmed down, there are still stories of Yiren Tusi rebellion from time to time, so the southern guard is not as chaotic as the general southwest guard, on the contrary, the military figures are quite good, and the battalion training is also tight.

Chen Xianda is a thousand-household official of the Southern Guard, but although he was born in the Weisuo Army, he has already been transferred to the battalion in Liaodong, and the official is on the garrison, and later transferred back to the Weisuo Army after being transferred back to Sichuan from Liaodong, and has a thousand-household rank, but in fact, all the soldiers under his hands are battalions, and in the Southern Guard, he is also a first-class strong soldier.

Officers like him, although they have a place to live in the guardhouse, they still go home more often on weekdays. This is also the norm for the officers of the guard, starting from the small flags, they have been in the army for generations, and they have long occupied the land near the barracks. In the vicinity of Xunanwei, almost every family has someone in the army, or the guard army, or the battalion soldiers, or the soldiers, in short, this area is very strong, when Li Yongzhong's carriage drove into this place, he immediately felt the unusual place - several men who were fighting on the street stopped and looked up and down the carriage coldly, and some people whispered in the ears of their companions, who nodded, turned around and ran into the alleys.

Li Yongzhong and He Tai obviously did not go through such a scene. Over the years, they have traveled from south to north and south, and they have been to many places, and natural health centers are not uncommon. But there are very few local guards who have such a strong style of martial arts as Shunan Wei, let alone such a high sense of vigilance.

"It is said that the southern guard is the first among the guards in the southwest, and this is indeed true." Li Yongzhong noticed that a young man with a saber stood up outside the car, and the young man was behind him, and his face was very guarded. As the carriage approached the garrison, there were more and more people wearing swords, and the weapons of these people also changed from short knives with long arms to wild goose knives at the beginning, and Li Yongzhong even saw the Qi family knife flashing.

"It doesn't taste right." He Tai put his hand on the hilt of the waist knife behind his back, he was born in martial arts, and he had seen blood kill people seriously, and he was more sensitive than ordinary people, and now this atmosphere really can't be explained by strong martial arts.

Li Cheng was still calm, and even had the leisure to reach out and take out the water bag from the cupboard and take a sip, before slowly explaining to the two young people: "During the Rebellion of Lu'an, the first person to bear the brunt of the deployment of troops was Xinanwei, and I don't know how many people died. In recent years, the southwest has also been unstable, and there have even been cases where the Yi people touched the guards in remote places and killed a piece of armor. Now the old and weak in Xunan Weili have already gone to the tenant farmers outside the city, and they can't be seen until Dayue, and almost all of the soldiers who stay here are battalion soldiers. ”

He pointed out a few sturdy and tall young men to show the two of them, and said, "These are from Liaodong!" Not only in Hunan, but also in several nearby health centers. ”

Ho Tai relaxed slightly, but he also kept his hands on the knife. However, Li Yongzhong traveled all the way, and he watched it with relish, which was more interesting than his inspection of the well site. Li Cheng was afraid that he didn't know the height of the sky when he was young, so he had the heart to persuade him, so he said: "I heard that in Fushun Zhongguan'er, how many teams of guards have also been trained?" See how they compare to these battalions? ”

"I heard that during the Jiajing period, the Qi family army was the first in the world," he replied to Li Cheng's surprise: "I just don't know if these battalion soldiers can be compared with Qi Shaobao's command?" ”

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, he finally understood the tricky things of this young family master. He was stunned for a moment and finally replied, "What kind of character is Qi Jiajun?" These have only fought a few battles in Xunan Weili, how dare they be compared with the Qi family's army? ”

Li Yongzhong laughed, finally stopped, gasped twice, and nodded at the idle soldiers who were showing their knives outside the car intentionally or unintentionally, and said meaningfully: "I think it's the same." Li Cheng thought it was ordinary at first glance, but when he touched it again, he tasted something else.

He said, "It's the same", but he didn't know whether the battalion soldiers were not as good as the Qi family's army, or whether they were not as good as the guards he trained single-handedly.

The carriage rang for half an hour before it stopped, and the three of them jumped out of the carriage only to see that they were already standing in front of a grand and mighty yamen, which was the headquarters of the command of the Southern Wei Command. The two soldiers guarding the door were expressionless, wearing eight-petal hats and helmets, wearing buffalo leather cotton rope armor, with a mandarin duck jacket inside, half-high leather shoes under their feet, holding a seven-foot red tassel gun, and carrying a goose feather knife at their waists.

Li Cheng straightened his robe, took out a sticker from his pipa sleeve pocket, and took two steps towards the bluestone steps, and the guard pointed his spear at him, forced him to stop, and then stopped shouting: "What people!" The guard is important, and no trespassing! He hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "This military master, my master was invited by Chen Qianhu to come to the appointment, and he hopes to be accommodating." ”

The guard's face softened slightly, he handed over the spear in his right hand to his left hand, took the sticker, glanced behind Li Cheng, and saw two tall young men, he coughed, and said to Li Cheng: "There is a thousand household officials surnamed Chen in the Hunan Weili, I am under his command, and I am on duty today, I don't know what is the relationship between your master and my family's thousand households?" ”

Li Cheng smiled on his face, gently pinched a cloth bag in his hand, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he lowered his voice and said: "My master is not to be publicized, and he is not an outsider, my master is a wealthy person, the first master and Chen Qianhu agreed to marry for my master and the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and my master is here to see his father-in-law!" ”

The guard gently lifted the cloth bag, then smiled with satisfaction, and looked curiously at the young man not far away, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Chen Qianhu's son-in-law!" Fortunately, I am on duty today, otherwise you would have to run for nothing. He put the cloth bag into his arms before he said: "Now Chen Qianhu does not live in the guard!" Some time ago, his family had just set up a house on Maoshi Street in front of him. Today it happened that he was at home and not in the guardhouse. ”

Li Cheng bowed and said happily: "Thank you for this, Master Jun!" ”

He turned his head and said to Li Yongzhong, Li Yongzhong clapped his palms together and said, "Maoshi Street is not very far. Indeed, we thought about it before, I am afraid that my father-in-law made a special trip to wait for me to come to the door on a rest day, but fortunately it is still early now, and I can still catch it. ”

The group hurriedly got into the carriage again, but fortunately, the coachman was a native of Yibin and was familiar with the road, so he walked around for a while, and then heard him call outside: "Steward Li, we have arrived, and we will go to Chen Qianhu's mansion from this alley." ”

Li Yongzhong got out of the car according to his words, and saw a quiet alley stretching out left and right, with blue brick walls on both sides, the wall was covered with gray terracotta tiles, and the stone slabs were paved with slates, and on both sides were the open ditches under the water, and in winter I also heard the gurgling water, and planted some yellow banyan trees, and in the winter, there were also half of the trees with green branches and leaves that were not depressed, and the merchant who was shaking the rattle had just walked not far, and he could still hear the fluttering drums.

He straightened his robe, let Wutong and He Tai hold gifts, and took Li Cheng to the alley. Li Cheng glanced around twice and sighed: "I have dealt with this thousand-household official for several years, and this is the first time I have heard that he has bought a house, and the family used to live in the guardhouse. ”

"No wonder you led us straight to the guardhouse." Li Yongzhong nodded, disapprovingly, and said, "It's okay, I can't blame you for this."

Finally they stopped in front of a house. Two adults hold the door locust with both hands standing on both sides, the horse stone in front of the door, the horse pile, and there is no need for three three gates, just a simple pair of doors, there is a pair of drum stones under it, looking simple and low-key, but the black oil gate and the tin ring on it, as well as a pair of play lions in front of the door explain the identity of the master court official.

Li Cheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a young servant in the head of the horn in the blue and gray sticker opened the door, and when he saw that it was Li Cheng, he immediately called out in surprise and joy, and said, "It turned out to be Steward Li!" My master of a thousand households is still talking about you this morning! Is my uncle here? He was lively, stretched his head out, and saw Li Yongzhong standing behind, and suddenly exclaimed, flashed into the door, and left only a sentence far away: "That's my uncle?" Wait for me to call us stewards!" ”

Li Yongzhong and Li Cheng looked at each other speechlessly. Li Cheng smiled awkwardly and explained: "This child is said to be an orphan taken in by Chen Qianhu in Liaodong, called Chen Hu, also known as the tiger head. ”

Li Yongzhong didn't have much expression on his face, he suddenly smiled, his face relaxed a little, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "This kid is a real person!" I think it's funny, but the servant dares to leave the guests out of the door, I'm afraid that I'm the father-in-law, and I'm not a stereotypical person in general, right? ”

"Zhong Guan'er really has a way of looking at people!" Li Cheng praised it first, and then said to Li Yongzhong: "This Chen Qianhu has a good hand of soldiers, and he is also a good hand in war, not to talk about Liaodong, just say that he returned to Sichuan, fought many battles, and in the end, he couldn't hold back his mean mouth and ruined his future!" ”

"In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, oh, that is, the year before last, I heard that Chen Qianhu led the troops to a certain place to quell the rebellion, and the thieves were killed, and the big guy happily walked back, and happened to meet one of his colleagues on the road who had just led the troops here, and heard that the thief gave him the head, and the colleague begged Chen Qianhu to give him a few levels of head, he was generous, but unfortunately he was probably too happy, and he said: 'It's a pity for you, you should have hurried up a long time ago, there is no such and such a guard at all!' ”

Li Yongzhong slowly opened his mouth wide, he blinked a few times, and asked blankly: "Then ......?" ”

Li Cheng smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "This word reached the ears of a certain guard, and others stopped doing it!" Immediately complained to the commander, this is good, a contemptuous of colleagues The hat was buttoned down, and only one merit was offset, and he narrowly escaped a military law! ”
