Chapter 42: Black Tiger Camp?
Li Yu sensed that something was wrong with the scene, turned his head and glanced at it, saw the prisoner car and several people's head-catching outfits, and said: "I came to pick up the prisoners escorted from Changzhou, and I didn't mean to disturb the general, and I asked the general to forgive me." ”
You've got a bit of eyesight! Yue Jiheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, take them away, General Ben still has important matters, so I won't accompany them." After speaking, Yue Jiheng disappeared from the window, and before leaving, he still didn't forget to glare at Zhao Xian viciously.
Zhao Xian didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of guy who dared to say or dare not do it, it was a waste of his mood, but unfortunately he couldn't help himself now, so he would definitely strip him off in normal times and let him go to Xuanwu Lake to be conspicuous.
Li Yu saw Yue Jiheng leaving, so he stood up, frowned and glanced around the prisoner car, slowly walked outside the prisoner car, looked at Zhao Xian a few times, and asked in a rough voice, "You are Zhao Xian?" ”
Listening to the tone, it seems to know me. Zhao Xian frowned and looked at this person a few times, making sure that he had never seen it, and couldn't help asking: "I am Zhao Xian, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"It's fine!" Li Yu stretched out his big hand and patted Zhao Xian's shoulder, and the armor on his body also sounded with 'praise', he showed a mouthful of big teeth, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will be a member of my Black Tiger Battalion, do a good job, I remember you." After speaking, Li Yu glanced at Hu a few times, then turned around and began to deal with the handover affairs with Liu Lao.
Zhao Xian suddenly realized, it turned out that he was here to answer, and this guy was his future boss.
Huang Tiantian's fierce-looking Li Yu was a little stunned, leaned over to Zhao Xian's side, and whispered: "Zhao Xian, this guy seems to be a little wrong." ”
"Worried about me?" Zhao Xian stretched out his hand and hooked Huang Tiantian's small chin, revealing a touched expression.
Huang Tiantian hurriedly dodged Zhao Xian's hand, his face was red, and he said angrily: "People remind you, you don't take it seriously." Even so, she didn't get angry when she replied.
Huang Tiantian's rare reserved appearance made Zhao Xian happy in his heart, and he shook his head and stopped teasing her. The prisoner cart was opened, and Zhao Xian jumped out and stretched, and took a comfortable breath of cold air.
Huang Tiantian saw that Zhao Xian was going to be taken away, hesitated for a while, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly came to Zhao Xian's side and said: "This catcher will send you to Jinling, and I will complete the errand handed over to me by the Yamen, so ......"
"Let's go, don't send it, thank you for relieving my boredom along the way." Zhao Xian hurriedly agreed, expressing his gratitude to Huang Tiantian.
"Who said I was leaving?" Zhao Xian seemed to wish she left quickly, Huang Tiantian was angry, and his face was full of aggrieved expressions like encountering a white-eyed wolf.
"Uh..." Zhao Xian's words of thanks froze, looked left and right at the street, and persuaded in a low voice: "Every day, women should not be allowed in the barracks, you don't mind if you follow me, there is still someone to accompany the warm quilt at night..."
"Boom!" Huang Tiantian glared at Zhao Xian, who was dreaming in vain, ashamedly: "You think beautifully, who wants to come with you, I will go to grandma's house to live for a few days, you are so self-conscious, don't die too quickly, I don't have time to collect the body for you." ”
Huang Tiantian said that he wished that Zhao Xian would die early, but there was a faint worry in her delicate eyes, with her big and strong surname, she couldn't talk about the softness of caring and gentleness, so she could only warn Zhao Xian angrily and let him not die, she didn't want to go back with Zhao Xian's body in a few days.
Zhao Xian heard her concern, and warmed her heart for this Nizi who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and quipped: "Don't be so ruthless, you have to be widowed if I die." ”
"Who, who will be widowed for you." Huang Tiantian's face turned red, he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, a hint of shame flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the handover was complete, she ran to her horse and rode up, and left the place with a tug of the reins.
Don't widow me? Be careful, I run to you in my dreams... No, I didn't curse myself to die too soon. Zhao Xian hurriedly took a few sips, said goodbye to Liu Lao, and followed Li Yu and his party to the north of the city.
Li Yu rode on the horse slowly, and did not look back at Zhao Xian and the others, his slender eyes flashed from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
The few foot soldiers in military uniforms in the back were noisily noisy, even the pace was the same, and the military discipline was strict and unsmiling, which was by no means comparable to ordinary miscellaneous troops, and even Zhao Xian was infected a little bit by that body of blood.
Seeing this, Zhao Xian couldn't help but wonder, if every soldier in Daliang was like this, how could he be pressed and beaten by the Northern Qi, and even have a record of almost annihilating the entire army like Shen Lingshan, could it be that this Northern Qi couldn't take all the machine guns?
Hu Yidao was surrounded by a large group of strong officers and soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but fortunately, Zhao Xian's sturdy figure was quite secure, and he firmly followed Zhao Xian every step of the way, probing his brain to enjoy the street scene of Jinling City.
Today is the fifth day of the lunar month, there are a lot of street stalls and vendors, all kinds of New Year's goods are everywhere, and there are a few poor students, who set up tables on the roadside to write for the portraits of passing pedestrians. There were even a few bold women who ran next to some handsome little scholars and asked them to paint portraits of themselves, which made the shy scholars red-faced, and they didn't dare to look up and look closely, and painted according to the impressions in their minds. The city was a scene of singing and dancing.
Zhao Xian followed Li Yu's men and horses all the way through, all of which were prosperous areas in Jinling City. Seeing the people coming and going on the street, the cries of selling were endless, and the small traders shouted vigorously, Zhao Xian felt that he was back in Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. Zhao Xian thought of this and felt that if this was Nanjing's pedestrian street, the group of pseudo-talents who were 'chanting poems and self-metaphors' on the street should be the non-mainstream of this era, no, they should be better than the non-mainstream, and they at least have a bit of shame.
Walking to the north city, the atmosphere began to change slowly, the residents gradually became scarce and the number of officers and soldiers in armor increased, until finally the corner tower was lined with horses, the officers and soldiers who patrolled and looked out abounded, and there were bursts of shouts of 'kill' from time to time inside, and the officers and soldiers who were training in the wind and snow could be seen at a distance of several hundred meters.
Li Yu jumped off the horse at this time, the black armor on his body looked inexplicably heavy, and there were a few 'bangs' when he landed. He walked up to Zhao Xian and Hu Yidao, and laughed loudly: "This is my Liang's military camp, you two will be my Black Tiger Battalion from now on, no matter what mistakes you made before, how high your status was before, now you are just a soldier, soldiers should respect military law, know the truth of military orders like a mountain, you two must not commit taboos, don't blame me Li Yu for not being merciful at that time." ”
Zhao Xian always felt that this person had a bit of a smiling tiger, but he didn't find anything wrong, so he nodded casually and walked to the inside of the barracks with an officer and soldier.
Li Yu watched Zhao Xian leave with a smile, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. At this time, a horse-faced man suddenly ran out of the handover building next to him, his face was dirty, and it was estimated that he had not washed it for a few days, and the cotton robe on his body was full of dust. He first saluted Li Yu respectfully, then looked at the direction in which Zhao Xian left, and said puzzledly: "Lord Li, this kid killed your cousin's surname, why are you...?" ”
"Huh!" Li Yu glanced at the horse-faced man, and a sneer appeared in his slender eyes: "This is a military camp, everything has to be done according to the rules, and he is a person who talks about the rules, how can he kill him for no reason." ”
The horse-faced man's eyes rolled, and he reacted, Li Yu meant to find a reason to kill Zhao Xian, and he hurriedly said with admiration: "What the lord said is that breaking the rules of the army for a prisoner under the rank really outweighs the loss, but what excuse do you have to find to clean up this kid justifiably?" ”
"Excuses?" Li Yu patted the armor skirt with beautiful patterns, looked at the respectful horse-faced man on the side, shook his head and said, "Do you know why you are still a **, but I am a capitalist?" ”
"The little ones don't know." The horse-faced man was dazed for a moment and shook his head in confusion.
"Because you're always making excuses." Li Yu turned over and laughed a few times, and then walked away, leaving a dazed horse-faced man, scratching his head and puzzled.
Zhao Xian and Hu Yidao walked to the depths of the barracks, and found that there were fewer and fewer regular soldiers around, and when they walked into the middle of a row of dilapidated houses, there were a bunch of officers and soldiers in tattered armor, some were brushing horses and saddles by the pool, some were cooking and washing clothes, maybe they couldn't even be called officers and soldiers, they were similar to beggars, and many of them had shoes on their feet that leaked tops, and there were even two different ones.
Because of the cold, the cloth armor with a few holes could not keep warm at all, and a few thin people who washed the horses had their lips frozen black and blue, and their fingers were full of frostbite, and they were shivering in the cold and biting water, washing the simple brush made of palmetto leaves in their hands.
There were more than 100 people in this empty field, slowly doing the work at hand, there were several doorways outside the houses with thick cotton curtains nailed to the windows to block the cold, and there were bursts of laughter inside, while the other rooms were ventilated on all sides, and the people inside could be seen trembling and wiping their clothes.
"You two, this is the Black Tiger Camp, find a place to live by yourself!" The soldier who led the way glanced disdainfully at the people working inside, and then turned his head and went out, which was considered a completed errand.
Zhao Xian was carrying a big burden, and looked at the 'Black Tiger Battalion' with a stunned expression, and Hu Yidao's triangular eyes flashed with a hint of reassurance, and muttered: "I thought I was going to fight, but it turned out that I was cooking for people, so it's much safer now." ”
"You're a bit of a talent, aren't you?" Zhao Xian smiled and scolded and raised his legs and walked in, those who brushed the horse and cooked looked at the newcomer, and a trace of excitement immediately flashed in their eyes, but seeing the tendon meat on Zhao Xian's body that could be felt through the clothes, they swallowed saliva again, lowered their heads and recovered the dazedness in their eyes, and continued to brush the war horse in the cold water.
Hu Yidao saw the hands of those people who were frozen and cracked, and he was stunned for a while, and he leaned in front of Zhao Xian and said, "Brother Xian, in the cold winter, aren't they too cold?" ”
