The town of Shangnan has now become a whirlpool, and people with unknown identities continue to pour into the town. These people all have official customs clearance documents, but a fisherman or a merchant walks with dust but not lifting, and the momentum is heavy, but in the early winter he wears only a single shirt, the thin clothes are the lumpy muscles of the grave, there are often several dark blood scars on the face, and the fierce essence in the eyes is swept by, which makes people shudder. Oh my God, these people are fishermen, street merchants, how do they feel like robbers? But when a dozen fishermen went out on the street together, the dignified momentum increased like a geometric progression. This is the strong momentum that only the masters of the regular army who have cooperated with the battle for a long time can have, and the various forces in Shangnan are panicked and uneasy, although it is said that the origin of these people with vague identities is different, but the blind can also know that they are actually from one force.

Xun Zhuwu quietly took a sip of tea, glanced at the notices on the table, and thought: The masters of the Chen clan in the East China Sea have not moved; At the beginning, a big reason why Xu Ruyu left Yongyang was that he was insoluble with various families, and the Mei family should not send the elite of the clan to stir up this troubled water; Jiang Lingtian? It has only been a year since the rise of the Su Gang, and even if he has the heart to help Xu Ruyu, he will not have this strength. Two hundred and forty-six good players between the seventh and fifth grades, only a family with a history of more than a hundred years can cultivate such a strong strength, not to mention that there are also many masters of the third and fourth grades hidden among them. It seems that he still underestimated this Qingfeng general, and it was time to visit someone.

Xun Zhuwu said: "Go to Yuanju Tower and submit my name post, saying that I will ask to see General Qingfeng at noon tomorrow." A Jingwei beside him answered "yes" and walked out of the house.

Xun Zhuwu said to himself: "Outside of Rong Yanmen, there is another person who cannot be ignored, this person is Qingfeng General Xu Ruyu, you guys help me remember it well." ”

When the five Jingwei beside him heard this, they didn't dare to respond, but their expressions became more and more respectful. A sweet voice came up: "Look at the people you usually said trained them, and now you don't dare to snort." Hey, isn't General Qingfeng already famous all over the world, why do you pay attention to him now? ”

Xun Zhuwu said: "You guys go out." The five guards withdrew and stayed outside the house, but they could no longer hear a sound from inside the house, and even if they did, they would forget him after a moment.

Xun Zhuwu clasped his backhand, held the plump and round beautiful buttocks behind him in his hand, pinched it in exchange for an almost inaudible moan, and then let go of his hand with satisfaction, and said: "Xu Ruyu resigned from the post of governor of Yongyang Mansion four months ago and left Donghai County, and the world thinks that he inherits the legacy of his father Xu Xing and does not want to intervene in the hegemony between the families. ”

"Oh, really?" A stunning-looking bewitching woman turned to Xun Zhuwu's side, gently held his well-defined handsome face with both hands, and looked at his eyes affectionately, as if to melt away the sharp cold light in his eyes, and spray the fragrance of Rulan onto his face.

Xun Candlewu pecked her lightly on the cheek and said, "You are really a little goblin, why don't you let me say it?" ”

"I came here to meet you secretly from my father, and of course I didn't just want to hear about you. But now there is a bit of interest. ”

"Xu Ruyu is a little different from Xu Xing, so we can't ignore it."

"How is it different, he doesn't hand over the military and political power of Yongyang Mansion, and it seems that he is going to hide in the mountains and rivers, and now he appears here, isn't it also pity the old and weak women and children of the Xiangfan Society who lack food and clothing in the mountains, isn't this the same as his father's pedantic habits?"

"If that's the case, I can't convince Xun Jie, this bastard, but I still do the master in Shangnan Town, what about the open side? But things may not be so simple, these days the more than 200 good hands who have poured into Shangnan are distributed around Yuanju Tower, and its center is the single courtyard where Xu Ruyu lives. This is obviously Xu Ruyu's own power, this is the biggest difference between him and Xu Xing, he will never let others slaughter him like Xu Xing did under Bayang City. But I just can't see the kind of hope and ambition I am familiar with in his eyes, what kind of person is he? ”

"Xun Jie, my fifth uncle, why do you say that about him, bastard? Hee-hee, but it's a good name, I don't know how he reacts to knowing that you call him like this? ”

"If he could follow my advice in southern Henan, Xu Ruyu would have been buried in the wilderness long ago, so there would be no need for such a headache."

"Hey, if Xu Ruyu is really as you said, not inheriting his father's legacy, how do you know that he will not escape alone? Besides, didn't you let the family slip away easily? A few days ago, I heard someone boasting that he had reached the seventh level of his fire separation technique. ”

"To be honest, I was not sure at that time, even if I defeated the caravan congregation, I was still not sure that Xu Ruyu would be left. To keep such a master, the price to pay will inevitably be extremely heavy. Besides, the attitude of the Youji Cai family is ambiguous, if you have to get rid of Xu Ru, I don't want it to be me. ”

"Xu Ruyu has experienced the tragic changes under Bayang City, how can he be the same as his father again, but you men are wishful thinking, when you see a handsome man born out of nowhere, I am full of hope that he is not here to compete with him for the world."

"You say he also has ambitions in the world?"

"The devil in men's hearts, how can we women know? It's like the devil in the hearts of our women, how can you men know, Gege. A crisp burst of laughter echoed through the room, making it difficult to suppress the reverie.

When Xu Ruyu received Xun Zhuwu's post, he was discussing the new policy of Yongyang Mansion with Xu Boying. Xu Boying's government affairs were taught by Shao Haitang, in recent years, for the affairs of the horse gang, running to various counties, experiencing the cruelty and tyranny of the clan system, far-sighted, living up to the name of Han Chu Xiaoliujun, in this regard, can have words and teachings to Xu Ruyu.

After a year of war in the East China Sea, Xu Ruyu gradually integrated the art of war taught by Xu Xing and Wu Chu, and became a family of his own. It's just that there is very little experience in government affairs, and after the war, the new policy was implemented in Yongyang Mansion for just three months, and I felt that government affairs were far more cumbersome than the march, and the actions were almost everywhere under the control of the wealthy families of the Yongyang family, and the executive order was inseparable from the support of these gate valves.

Xu Ruyu looked at Xun Candlewu's name card in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xun Candlewu is really not simple, I found out my arrangement so quickly, Uncle Sun, let the people living in the building come to see me, right?" ”

Xu Boying said in surprise: "What, the more than 200 people around here are all under your command?" ”

"You let the horse gang remove the guards near Yuanju Tower, and someone will take over."

Xu Boying couldn't help but respond "yes", but the shock in his heart was even greater, he didn't blame him for hiding such a big thing from the caravan, letting the caravan have a false alarm, and he was willing to listen to his orders, did he already recognize his status in his heart? But I can only be loyal to the Ma Gang, only to the Xiangfan Society.

Xu Ruyu took in the changes in Xu Boying's expression, smiled slightly, and said softly to Jiang Youli beside him: "My apprentice in Yongyang, I will take a look at you, good person." ”

Jue'er screamed: "You said that the group of people who look like bandits and robbers outside are your subordinates, why didn't you say it earlier, so that I am scared every time I go out?" ”

Youli smiled: "Didn't you pick up someone's post the day before yesterday, and it was signed with the name of Jimo Mingxi, why did you forget it?" ”

"Ah, I listened to what the stinky little fish said as a story, how do I remember the names of the people in it, so I have an impression of it, isn't it ......?"

Xu Ruyu thought to herself: Jimo Mingxi's identity is still top secret, Xu Boying's attitude is unclear, and it is not appropriate for him to know, so he intercepted Jue'er's words and said: "Jue'er, you lead Ruyan to the horse gang and ask Xu to come over." ”

How could Xu Boying not understand the meaning of Xu Ruyu's words, and pulled Xu Duanguo to go out with Jue'er.

Liang Bao, Jimo Mingxi, Wei Yu, and Wei Yan followed their uncle Fang Wu into the backyard. Liang Bao saw Xu Ruyu's familiar peaceful and shallow smile, his heart was hot, and he reached the ground on one knee and said, "Liang Bao has seen Mr. and Mrs. The three of them immediately knelt down and shouted: "Mingxi (Wei Yu/Wei Yan) has seen the lord and the lord's mother. ”

Xu Ruyu helped the four of them up and said to Jimo Mingxi: "The three of you will also call me with Liang Bao in the future." ”

Although Liang Bao taught the art of marching and arranging formations in Yongyang for several months, after all, Liang Bao's own practice was limited, that is, although Mo Mingxi had gained a lot, it was far from enough, fortunately, Jiang Lingtian and Xu Ruyu were entrusted by Xu Ruyu, and from time to time personally instructed the four of them in martial arts and various techniques of marching and arranging formations. Now that he heard that Xu Ruyu intended to take himself as a disciple, he was ecstatic in his heart, knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound, knocked his head three times in a row, and said: "Thank you, Mr. for fulfilling the past." ”

Wei Yan was still stunned, kicked Wei Yu in the socket of his foot, and involuntarily knelt down.

Jimo Mingxi was captured with his family when he was a child, and less than a year after he went to Puji Island, he was conscripted into the Puji Army with thousands of other teenagers for brutal training. Ji Mo Ming was twelve years old in the past, Wei Yu was fourteen years old, and Wei Yan was fourteen years old, and later the three of them were incorporated into the strongest Biao Feng camp in Puji, and it was extremely difficult to cultivate the second-rate Dan Breath Technique at the current level with their own talents. But Jimo Mingxi knew that if he wanted to get the 300,000 people of the Yi tribe out of the current sea of suffering, it was far from enough to rely on the strong force of a few people, but Gongliang Youqin only wanted to make the Biao Feng Battalion a thoughtless killing machine, how could he tolerate Jimo Mingxi and them learning the art of military affairs.

Xu Ruyu said lightly: "Hatred will not contribute to the rejuvenation of a nation, all ethnic groups in the world are born of God, and they should all have the same chance of survival in this land." I don't want to see the rise of a powerful Yi tribe bring blood to another nation. ”

Jimo Mingxi bowed down and said: "Mingxi didn't dare, Mingxi only wanted the clansmen to get a land where they could survive, and Mingxi was willing to swear to follow Mr. to the death." ”

"How do you know that I will treat your people equally, how do you know that I will give your people a land to live in?"

"Mr. does not have the idea of alien race in his heart, Mr. is compassionate and compassionate, Mr. is brave and resolute, and Mr. Fei can't bear this big responsibility."

Xu Ruyu's eyes flashed brightly, that is, Mo Ming's fearless gaze, and the flame burning in his eyes made Xu Ruyu feel a burning pain in his heart, thinking: This is the flame that has been burning for 600 years in the pursuit of equality and freedom.

Xu Ruyu turned around, avoided his burning gaze, and said, "What you have practiced in Puji is just an ordinary Dan Breath Technique, and it is not easy to achieve today's achievements, I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve." First of all, Liang Bao will pass on the Biluo recipe to you, if there is anything unclear, you can come and ask me. Also, you let the people outside restrain the fierce flames in their eyes, and they are no longer pirates on Puji Island. And they selected all the literate among them, and came to this courtyard at night to listen to my lectures on military affairs. Those who are illiterate let literacy be responsible for teaching. Wei Yan, what are you blushing, Wei Yu, you are responsible for teaching him. ”

And much more discussion was going on, until the caravan came in. Xu Ruyu led Liang Bao and the others to meet them and introduced them one by one. It's just that when Liang Bao and others were introduced, their identities were omitted.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Xu Ji's heart, but his face was still as enthusiastic as fire, and he said loudly: "Donghai sent such a strong help, my horse gang can be regarded as a reassuring pill." The Fu family was eager to get strong help from the East China Sea, especially after hearing that Yi Hanwen gave up the Yixing Mansion to the south of Zhunshui, the boundary of the Chen clan in Donghai County had been connected to the Qinghe River, and Fu Xian believed that Donghai County would open up the Shangnan Trade Road. Now he is secretly helping us to transport grain and grass to the mountains. If this is the case, I will let Ji Fatzi vacate the surrounding yard and let Liang Bao lead Donghai's brothers to live in? ”

"Trouble Xu Da is in charge, and there is still something to help the horse gang?"

"Even if you say it, what the caravan can do, you should do your best."

"It is very difficult for the children of the horse gang to become elite cavalry comparable to the Xun family's iron cavalry in the short term, but a fast mobile force is indispensable, I want Liang Bao to bring more than 200 people from the East China Sea this time is just enough for the establishment of two sentinel elite cavalry, and this matter still needs the support of the big boss."

Xu Ji's face did not change, but his brain turned fast: I asked you to come to review the knife gang three times, and you pushed back and forth, it turned out that this was the abacus. Two hundred and fifty excellent war horses are worth a lot of money, just like the Xun family, a big family like the Xun family, the regular cavalry is only 10,000 hanging zero, and it is not easy for the horse gang to get more than 500 war horses, and now Xu Ruyu is about to go halfway through his mouth, and he doesn't even mention the word "borrow", how to make Xu Ji not feel distressed, thinking of this, Xu Ji's face couldn't help but be a little sluggish.

Xu Tingyi looked at Xu Ji's expression, knowing that now was not the time to feel distressed, haha twice, and said: "Bo Ying has seen that the Xun family's iron cavalry is powerful, and the military advisor has also been able to mention the horror of the Xun family's iron cavalry when charging, Fu Xian has just sent someone to spread the rumor, the Xun family, the Huo family, and the Fu family have finished discussing, and the three families will each send six hundred horsemen into Shangnan Town. ”

Xu Ji came to his senses, said yes again and again, and said secretly: If you can exchange two hundred and fifty war horses for Xiangfan Huiquan, how can this business not be done? Busy said: "What else do you want from you?" ”

Xu Ruyu didn't have a single gold in his hand, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to Xu Ji, and said: "I have ordered a batch of narrow-body arc-edged knives from the foundation of Gentang, and I heard that the goods have arrived, and I hope that Xu Da will help to pick up the goods, lest the people of Youji say that I have no credit." ”

Xu Ji secretly scolded: The Youji Cai family is your mother's family, although both sides don't admit it, but you let the foundation Gentang record this batch of blades, and they still dare to say anything? But he said: "Since I should be effective, I will let Bo Ying go to handle it in person." ”

Xu Boying asked: "The narrow-body arc-bladed knife is commonly known as the sea bandit knife?" ”

Xu Ruyu nodded appreciatively and said: "After the appearance of the Yongyang hard-horned longbow and crossbow, the role of the cavalry is no longer to charge frontally, and the halberd and Changge are no longer the first choice of knives for cavalry troops. I fought against the Puji bandits at the head of Yongyang City for more than a month, and I felt that the narrow-cut arc blade knife was the most suitable choice for the side Ji attack. ”

After the people of the horse gang left, Jimo Mingxi asked: "We are used to using sea bandit knives, and it has been very inconvenient to use thick-backed knives these months, and Mr. is really thoughtful for us." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled: "The narrow arc blade knife is good for splitting and stabbing, and this is the most effective action in cavalry combat, so the narrow arc blade horse is also called the standard saber." Later, because the Puji Biaofeng battalion used this knife more, it was also known as the bandit knife. Since the frontal charge has lost its effect, it is only natural for special weapons to withdraw from cavalry combat, but it is not specifically for you. However, it is a fake to say that you have created a set of riding and fighting swords, and the three of you are good at swords, so you should come up with a set of riding and fighting swords for me as soon as possible. ”

Liang Bao asked worriedly: "What if others guess Mingxi's identity from the saber he used?" ”

Xu Ruyu couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Liang Bao ask the key point, knowing that after he left Yongyang, he lost his dependence and thought diligently. Looking at Jimo Mingxi, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"If the standard saber had been used in horsemanship, people would have thought that it was a successful innovation of the gentleman, and nothing else had been thought of."

Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not enough." If I also use the standard saber, others will not think nonsense. ”

People who practice martial arts have their usual blades, and only when they use the knives they are familiar with can they exert their strength to the extreme, and now Xu Ruyu would rather give up the familiar blades and use the standard saber instead in order to cover their identities, which makes everyone's hearts stir. Ji Mo Mingxi thought more, he knew that Xu Ruyu wanted to personally experience the subtleties of the standard saber in the cavalry battle, in order to improve the cavalry tactics.

Since Xu Ruyu's debut, he has not fixed what kind of blade he uses, although he has practiced the Amazing Spear, Biluoge, and created the Piaoxiang Sword in Xinfeng Chengye, but when he led the troops to fight, he mostly made thick back simple knives and switched to standard sabers, which was no inconvenience to him. The cavalry switched to a light saber and was able to hold the blade with one hand, making the cavalry tactics more flexible, which was tested by the Qingfeng Jingcai after a year of battle in the East China Sea, but the Qingfeng Jingcai used a thick-backed thin-bladed six-foot knife and was equipped with a small round shield.
