Leaving the Juyang River, Zhang Xuan led dozens of cavalry to gallop all the way in the wilderness, rushing to the military camp twenty miles away.

When he was less than ten miles away from the barracks, he saw that on a path in the north of the barracks, a mighty long dragon was running in the snow, and Zhang Xuan restrained his war horse, which was a long-distance running and training of 2,000 recruits who were being intensively trained.

The two thousand people were not actually recruits, they were all former soldiers of the Beihai Naval Palace, but they had not received long-distance running training, so after seven or eight days of intensive training, they were all exhausted, and they had obviously just returned from long-distance running, one by one, panting, and their feet seemed to be filled with lead.

"There are still ten miles, give Lao Tzu to stick to the end!"

Zhang Xuan heard Yu Chigong's slightly rough roar from afar, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Yu Chigong has always been generous and gentle, and he is actually a bit of a murderer at this time.

At this time, Yu Chigong also saw Zhang Xuan in the distance, and he hurriedly shouted, "Rest on the spot and take a stick of incense!" ”

The soldiers sat down on the ground one after another, and Wei Chi Gong urged the horse to run towards Zhang Xuan, ran to the front, and bowed his hand and said, "Wei Chi Gong see the general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Hard work!" ”

He looked at the soldiers again and asked with a smile, "How are they training?" ”

"Except for long-distance running, everything else is very good, the queue is neat, well-trained, and I have experience in knife and marksmanship, but my physical strength is not good, I run fifty miles a day, and I hit the sky and cry one by one, but the past two days have been slightly better, unlike the first two days when I collapsed to the ground."

"Are there any deserters?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

Wei Chigong nodded, "There is a little, but not much, there are a total of eighteen deserters, none of whom are from Beihai County, and they have escaped without a trace." Most of our team is from the county, so we don't usually become deserters. ”

At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered something. He took out a scroll from his horse bag and handed it to Yu Chigong with a smile. "This is Dashuai's overlord marksmanship, Luo Shixin also uses this way of marksmanship, Dashuai said you can learn it, and there are some annotations on it, which may be useful to you."

Since Wei Chi Gong lost to Pei Xingyan in a martial arts competition a few months ago, he is no longer blindly superstitious about strength, and he is also eager to make a breakthrough in weapon moves. However, Wei Chi Gong's comprehension is slightly weaker, and he can't practice the esoteric and complex purple yang halberd method.

In contrast, Wei Chigong prefers to use guns, and Zhang Xuan asked Zhang Xutuo for the overlord marksmanship, which is Zhang Xutuo's self-created marksmanship, which is fierce and domineering, far easier to use than the Ziyang halberd method, suitable for power-type generals, and Luo Shixin became famous for it.

Zhang Xutuo also admired Wei Chigong's bravery, so he agreed to Zhang Xuan's request. He gave the overlord marksmanship to Wei Chigong and wrote him a detailed note.

Wei Chi was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the overlord marksmanship. He opened the scroll again and looked at it, compared to the obscure Ziyang halberd method, this set of marksmanship was simple and smooth, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he couldn't wait to go back to the barracks to practice immediately, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Da Shuai also said that you practice by yourself first, if you don't understand something, you can go to Qi County to find him at any time." He will guide you well. ”

"I see, General. I'll go first. ”

Wei Chigong was so anxious that he saluted and turned his horse away. Zhang Xuan hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Old Captain, have you sent someone to pick up your wife and children?" ”

"Thank you for the general's concern, I have already sent someone to the humble position, and it is estimated that it will come soon."

Wei Chigong turned his head and saluted, and then urged the horse to run towards the team in the distance, only to hear him shout, "Rest, get up and continue to run, and go back to the camp for lunch!" ”

The soldiers thought that they were going to have lunch, they got up one after another, and ran towards the military camp that was faintly visible in the distance, Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, in comparison, he still liked the calm and gentle Wei Chi Gong, this fierce Wei Chi Gong instructor, he was a little unaccustomed.

At this time, a messenger came from the county seat, rushed to Zhang Xuan and hugged his fists and said: "General, Wei Changshi is in a hurry to find the general, please can the general go to the county office." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded and shouted to the cavalry: "Go to the county seat!" ”

He turned his horse's head and led the crowd towards the county seat in the distance

Not long after, Zhang Xuan entered Yidu County, and came directly to the county office, he turned over and dismounted, walked up the steps quickly, and saw Wei Yunqi hurriedly walked out, Zhang Xuan smiled: "What is the urgent need to find me?" ”

Wei Yunqi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The head of the Cui family of Qinghe is here, asking to see the general." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, he knew that Cui Huan would come to him sooner or later, Liang Zhi died strangely, it was impossible for the Cui family to ignore it, but he only came now, a little later than he guessed, Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted and walked towards the county office.

Walking into the inner hall, I saw that Wang Yunqian, the county prince, was talking with two middle-aged men, one of whom Zhang Xuan knew, was Teng Xuan, the head of the Teng family in Beihai, and the other was about fifty years old, with a tall and thin figure, a clear appearance, and a black beard under his jaw that was half a foot long, which should be Cui Huan, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe.

Cui Huan once served as the imperial court Taichang Shaoqing, and is now the Taishou of Bohai County, due to the brutality of the bandit Zhang Jin in Qinghe County, most of the Cui clan in Qinghe moved to Bohai County, and only a very small number of people remained in Qinghe County.

Teng Xuan saw Zhang Xuan walking into the courtyard, and hurriedly whispered to Cui Huan: "That young general is General Zhang." ”

Cui Huan nodded, he had actually seen Zhang Xuan, at the Lu family's birthday banquet in Zhuo County, but there were many people at that time, and Zhang Xuan didn't notice him.

Cui Huan saw Zhang Xuan with his own eyes, and he also knew his background from the Yan Palace, so Cui Huan asked his son Cui Yuanhan to come and tell Liang Zhi that he wanted to cooperate with Zhang Xuan and not turn his face.

But he never imagined that Liang Zhi died mysteriously, although the cause of death is unknown, but Liang Zhi is a protégé of the Qinghe Cui clan and also belongs to the forces of the Qinghe Cui clan, no matter what, Cui Huan will not be indifferent.

At this time, Zhang Xuan walked in, and Wang Yunqian hurriedly introduced Zhang Xuan: "General, this is Cui Taishou of Bohai County, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe. ”

Qinghe Cui's family ranks second among the seven great families in the world, second only to Boling Cui's family, and has a prominent reputation, Zhang Xuan bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be Cui Yuanjun, Zhang Xuan was disrespectful." ”

Cui Huan had already gotten up, and he smiled in return, "General Zhang is too polite, I came abruptly today to disturb the general." ”

"It's not a matter of bothering, so please sit down!"

The five people sat down as guests, Zhang Xuan and Cui Huan sat on the seats, Wei Yunqi, Wang Yunqian and Teng Xuan sat on both sides, although Teng Xuan was also a member of the Beihai County family, but both financial power and fame were far inferior to the Qinghe Cui family.

His wife is just the daughter of the Cui family, so he feels that he has climbed high, so in front of Cui Huan, he seems extremely small and inferior.

Two entourages came in to serve tea to everyone, Cui Huan smiled and said to Zhang Xuan: "I have seen General Zhang in Lufu in Zhuo County, less than a year, and General Zhang's demeanor is far better than at that time!" ”

Although Cui Huan is a kind word, but it is also the truth, at that time Zhang Xuan had just returned from the grassland, alone, and now he has repeatedly made military exploits, has been promoted to a heroic general, his subordinates led thousands of troops and horses, and the commander's temperament is clearly reflected in him.

Zhang Xuan smiled apologetically: "It turns out that Cui Yuanjun was also in Lu Mansion at the time, there were too many people at that time, I didn't notice the envoy, and I ask the envoy to forgive me for being rude." ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to blame himself, the saint was present at the time, everyone was very confused, it was normal for General Zhang not to see me, and I didn't congratulate General Zhang, the person who was rude should be me."

The two of them said a few polite words, and at this time, Zhang Xuan gave Wei Yunqi a look, Wei Yunqi understood, got up and smiled at Teng Xuan and Wang Yunqian: "It just so happens that I have something I want to discuss with the two of you, let's go next door and talk about it!" ”

Both of them got up to say goodbye in amusement, and the three of them left the inner hall, leaving only Zhang Xuan and Cui Huan in the inner hall.

Cui Huan took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "The main purpose of my coming to Yidu County today is to worship Liang Taishou, presumably General Zhang also knows that Liang Taishou is a protégé of the Cui family in Qinghe, and his family was poor since he was a child, when he was eight years old, we began to provide him with free study in the academy, and paid money and food to his family every month, until he was twenty years old, the Cui family spent a lot of effort on him, and he has long regarded him as a member of the family, but now he is not dead in vain, which is really unacceptable." ”

Zhang Xuan also said lightly: "I am also very sad that Liang Taishou died young, and his death is also a huge loss to Beihai County, but I don't think he is unclear." ”

Cui Huan stared at Zhang Xuan for a moment, and then said, "Since the general thinks that there is a reason for his death, how did he die, can the general tell me the truth?" (To be continued)
