On the other hand, Yang Zizhan led Zuo Yin through the garrisons of other troops, and when the big battle came, there was an inexplicable solemnity on everyone's faces, and it was not like more than a month ago that they still had the leisure to point fingers at him, a disciple of the capital. As it approached late autumn, the soldiers of the Cangnan Army began to wear warm clothing, and the entire mountain began to prepare for war according to the winter climate, and the barracks were full of busy scenes.

When Yang Zizhan led Zuo Yin to the corner of the fire camp, Zuo Yin found that the flag of this camp was slightly different from that of other fire departments, generally the flags of the fire department were red and gold tiger heads in the flames, but this camp was a golden flame and a golden tiger head on a black background, which seemed to have a sense of heaviness, Yang Zizhan saw Zuo Yin notice the flag, and explained: "This is Bai Dutong's personal guard battalion, there are only more than 2,000 people, but generally when fighting, they are all troops on the front line with Bai Dutong's charge, It can be said that you have experienced a hundred battles, and you will start reporting today in the 10th team of the 10th column of the Guards Battalion. ”

Zuo Yin immediately followed Yang Zizhan into a large camp, but saw that there were more than 20 soldiers in a radius of about three zhang inside, either wiping the armor, or sharpening the blade without saying a word, hearing Yang Zizhan's arrival, everyone instantly raised their heads, Zuo Yin looked at the past, most of these soldiers have a kind of calm that ordinary soldiers do not have, if the other four battalions of the fire department are flamboyant tigers, then the soldiers of the guard battalion are more like tigers who are calm before the attack.

Seeing Zuo Yin's gaze, a man dressed in red light armor who looked like an officer stood up and saluted Yang Zizhan with his right hand on his chest, Yang Zizhan looked at him and said lightly: "This is Zuo Yin, you will lead it from today onwards." After that, Yang Zizhan glanced at Zuo Yin, nodded slightly, and then turned around and left.

The officer walked in front of Zuo Yin, and Zuo Yin found that this person's height was about the same as that of a young man, but his figure was more lean, with a long face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and the most peculiar thing was that his arms were abnormally thick, even if ordinary thighs could not be estimated, he stood in front of Zuo Yin like this, and said indifferently: "Do you know how to use a knife?" His voice was filled with a hoarseness that seemed to be due to thirst, and the people around him seemed to look at it with interest.

If it was before the experience outside Xinjiang, maybe Zuo Yin would be shocked by this person's momentum, but he had been fighting outside Xinjiang for more than a month, and there were more than ten people of different races who fought face-to-face, and he had just faced Wei Guogong and the other three capitals, if this insight was said, I am afraid that there are few people in the Cangnan army who can compare.

Zuo Yin calmly glanced at the long knife on his waist, and then said firmly: "Yes!" "The voice has its own determination tempered in the sea of blood.

The officer grinned, seemed to be satisfied with Zuo Yin's answer, and said again: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" Zuo Yin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that almost all the fire tigers were cavalry, and he only learned the kung fu of fighting immediately for a few days under the guidance of the master. The officer nodded, "Then you kid have to practice more in the next few days, otherwise it will be more troublesome to go into battle in a few days." ”

As soon as the words fell, he laughed and put his hand on Zuo Yin's shoulder, and said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone look at it, this is our new brother, Zuo Yin." In the introduction, the officer did not emphasize Zuo Yin's identity.

But Zuo Yin didn't care, what he wanted to do was to prove himself with his own strength, not the identity of Bai Changzhi's apprentice, he looked around again, but saw that most of the soldiers in the camp were staring at him curiously, obviously knowing his origin, there were two younger soldiers of the same age who looked at Zuo Yin with a smile, and seemed to be extremely friendly, the officer turned his head and said to Zuo Yin: "I am the captain of the tenth column and ten teams of the pro-guard battalion, surnamed Huo, and named Congwen, you will be a member of the ten columns and ten teams in the future." ”

Zuo Yin gave a military salute. "Captain Huo."

Huo Congwen snorted, at this time, for some reason, those soldiers stood up and surrounded him, Zuo Yin was puzzled among them, but he was now in the middle stage of forging, and he had the power of self-preservation in terms of strength, so he was not afraid even in such an environment.

Huo Congwen looked at Zuo Yin's resolute and young face, and couldn't help but secretly admire, looked at the more than 20 people who came around, and said loudly: "Today, we have a new team member in the Ten Columns and Ten Teams, so according to tradition, we have an understanding of the strength of the young tiger." After that, he walked straight out of the camp, and behind him, the members of the ten columns and ten teams came out, everyone who passed by Zuo Yin reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and the two young men who smiled at him just now came to Zuo Yin's side and said softly: "It's okay, it's just to try your strength, how to cooperate on the battlefield when the time comes, everyone has a number in their hearts, don't worry." ”

"That's it, that's how I came over at the time, don't worry, even if you are defeated, it is a normal thing, and everyone will not look down on you because of this." The two of them rushed to Zuo Yin's side as a passer-by, Zuo Yin felt a little warmth in his heart, and then a group of more than 20 people went to the open space of the fire camp.

Along the way, the logo of the black background golden tiger on the body of more than 20 people attracted the attention of many ordinary soldiers of the fire department, they knew that this was the person of the pro-guard battalion, looking at the posture, there were new people joining, and they would go to the direction of the open space.

"Hey, did you hear that? Bai Dutong's disciples joined the guard battalion. ”

"What, isn't that to show your hand according to tradition?"

"That's right, now their team is heading to that clearing, are you going?"

"Go, why don't you go, Lao Tzu has long wanted to see what that guy's strength is, how did he become a disciple of Dutong."

"Walk around"

The soldiers have long known that Bai Dutong accepted a disciple half a year ago, and many people have seen Zuo Yin in the martial arts arena or physician camp in the Cangnan military base camp, but most people don't know what Zuo Yin's strength is, and the only few fights are also in the martial arts arena with Yang Zizhan with a wooden knife, which is not countable. And this time, I heard that Bai Dutong brought this disciple outside the territory to have a good experience, and his strength made many people interested.

For a while, Zuo Yin's news of the contest in the open space of the camp passed through the tents, and when the big battle was approaching, the soldiers gathered to pay attention to this competition, although they seemed slightly impetuous, but it could be a good relief of the tense atmosphere of the coming war, so someone's unscrupulous master just smiled slightly at the dragon pass, and did not say anything, but leaned on the fence and looked down with great interest.

Seeing the noisy camp, King Xun of the Mountain Metropolitan said with a wry smile: "Your disciple has inherited your restlessness very well." Bai Changzhi looked back at Wang Xun and said with a smile: "This is our tradition, how can it be called restless?" Wang Xun shook his head, and the two looked down together.

At this time, a large number of soldiers had already arrived here, surrounding the open space. In the open space, Zuo Yin has already set up a posture, although he is a little surprised that there are so many audiences, but Zuo Yin has experienced a lot after all, and his heart is no longer the first to come to the Cangnan Army, he held his breath and ignored the noise and shouts of the people around him.

When he looked at the opposite side, he found that his opponent was not the captain Huo Congwen who he had thought he had, but another young man of about twenty-five or sixteen, who was thin and straight, and the whole person looked a little weak, and his eyes were burning at him, and he was holding a long knife in his hand that was much thinner than a normal riding knife. When Zuo Yin looked at his opponent, Huo Congwen explained on the side: "Shen Mu, deputy captain. Zuo Yin nodded, and turned to look at Shen Mu again.

Huo Congzhi saw that the people on both sides were ready, so he stretched out his hand, and the bustling crowd around him gradually quieted down, in the silence before the battle, Huo Congwen looked at the two people who were calm, and waved his hand: "Start!" "The two men were like two tigers breaking through a cage, pounced on each other.
