Chapter 178: Sacred Heart
At a quarter of the hour, a team of more than 1,000 people, escorting bags of salt, left the southern camp in a mighty way.
Jiang Long rode the snowfield and walked in the procession.
The snow field of the divine horse was extremely dazzling, attracting the envious eyes of one sergeant after another.
Of course, there are also greedy and ill-intentioned.
"It's a pity for a civil official to ride such a haode horse!" Mao Ming, a thousand households of the forbidden army, said to Mu Xuan, who had the highest grade in the team, with a flattering face.
Mu Xuan held the position of commander in the southern camp of the forbidden army, and he was a fourth product.
He stood in the camp of the second prince Zhao Chen, although the task of escorting salt to northern Xinjiang was a bit dangerous, but on the whole, it was a great opportunity for meritorious service.
If you want to be safe, there is only one way, and that is to boil your qualifications in the army.
But some people have survived for decades, and if they don't have a backer, they are just a small hundred.
Mu Xuan was able to seize the good opportunity to escort salt to Northern Xinjiang this time, thanks to Cheng Guifei, in general, the ability of the second prince Zhao Chen is relatively mediocre, there is no literary talent, no martial arts, very ordinary, not outstanding, but he also has advantages.
is the mother Cheng Guifei who is now in charge of all matters in the palace.
It's not a queen, but it's pretty much the same.
Then there is the fact that several brothers of Cheng Guifei are quite capable, especially the eldest uncle Cheng Gong, who is not only quite a bit of force, but also a Dingding Marquis.
Several other uncles also served in the army, and their positions were quite high.
Matrilineal shili is huge.
Standing in the camp of the second prince Zhao Chen and King Xin, Mu Xuan was still quite satisfied.
Although King Xin is mediocre, with the strong help of Concubine Cheng and several uncles, the possibility of ascending to the throne in the future is still relatively large.
Among all the princes, Zhao Chen, the king of letters, is also the only prince who is quite shili in the army.
The prince's shili is among the civil officials.
For this, the old emperor has always turned a blind eye and has not intervened in suppression.
This also made Mu Xuan, who was standing in the camp of King Xin, believe that the emperor had the possibility of being in King Xin.
As a military general, Mu Xuan is naturally very jealous of haode mounts and excellent weapons.
Hearing the words of his subordinate Mao Ming, Mu Xuan glanced back at Jiang Long, who was walking in the middle of the team, and a sneer appeared on his face, "If there are good things, you have to have a life to enjoy them!" ”
When Baihu He Yi heard this, he interjected: "What my lord said is that the northern Xinjiang is chaotic, and there are often small groups of cavalry from other races invading, and the people there are fierce, and they are not very respectful of the army. ”
"The Jing family in Ningyuan County is a hard bone, but that means that in the capital, the gold medal in the hands of Jingfu is very capable of bluffing, but once it is out of the capital, hehe......" Another hundred households Xu Youcai smiled sneeringly.
Because they are in the camp of Zhao Chen, the king of letters, these officers, regardless of their positions, are very clear about the details of all the wealthy families in the capital.
Otherwise, if you accidentally offend someone who shouldn't be offended, it will be troublesome.
There was also a hundred households with a circled beard, patted his chest and said: "My lord, just rest assured, when you get to the border of the northern frontier, the lower official will personally step forward and cut down the Jing family boy and take the BMW for you!" ”
Mu Xuan nodded without a trace.
Last night, an order came from Cheng Guifei's side, saying that the old emperor was a little dislike the Jing family and intended to do something to the Jing Mansion.
Cheng Guifei asked him to seize the opportunity, and if it was possible, he would take Jiang Long's head.
In order to believe in the king, win the sacred heart.
Although nominally this side is the camp of King Xin, in fact, the real family behind the scenes, it is Cheng Guifei who makes suggestions.
The mediocre Shin King is more like a puppet.
But it doesn't matter if he's a puppet or not, as long as he has royal blood flowing through his body.
As long as it is the prince, as long as the emperor dies, there is no righteous and bright promulgation of the edict of succession, then the competition for the dragon chair is justified.
Jiang Long rode his horse, observing the team as he walked.
At the front of the line were the sergeants and generals of the southern battalion of the forbidden army.
The number is about the early 1,000s.
These sergeants are full of energy at the moment, their armor is bright, and they are walking neatly, looking very dazzling and magnificent.
At the back of the team, as well as the wings on both sides, there were more than 500 border sergeants and generals with shabby armor but unusually clean wipes.
These people don't talk much, and they walk a little lazily, but they are strong and have sharp eyes.
Compared with those guards in Jingfu, they are actually not inferior.
It shows that these sergeants have really been on the battlefield and killed people!
Jiang Long compared them and came to the conclusion that the forbidden army in front of him was an embroidered pillow.
Although he didn't know that Mu Xuan was in the camp of King Xin, with a little brain, Jiang Long could think that these people were escorting salt to the northern frontier, and they were here to inlay gold.
With a lot of credit, it will be good to be promoted in the future.
Unlike the officers of the forbidden army who walked in front and seemed to be a little arrogant, Guo Fang, the ranger general who came to carry out the mission with 500 border pass sergeants this time, looked indifferent, and his sitting posture on horseback was not upright, and he looked a little lazy.
But no one dared to underestimate him.
Although Guo Fang looked lazy, every time his eyes opened and closed, there was a sharp light flickering.
And even with their eyes closed, the sergeants who were close could clearly feel that the Ranger General's body exuded a strong iron-blooded killing aura.
Even closer, you can smell a faint smell of blood.
Cheng Gang is the centurion who Guo Fang picked up, and at this moment he actually looked sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said: "These soldiers of the forbidden army are really a group of milk dolls who have never been on the battlefield, and this is near the capital, which is the safest place for this trip."
Don't take advantage of the good rest now, one by one raise their heads and show off their might, and wait for a few days to catch up and step into the northern border to see if they still have such a sufficient spirit. ”
"Do you care if they live or die?" Another hundred households Wei Huan said with a disdainful face: "I look down on these guys who have not been on the battlefield, but can take the most haode weapons and wear the most haode armor, and put them at the border, how many brothers can be saved by such haode weapons and armor?" ”
Many border sergeants looked at those forbidden army sergeants and were very dissatisfied.
These people do not go to the battlefield and do not fight with foreign armies, but they can distribute the most haode military supplies.
In the dissatisfied eyes, there is naturally a trace of eye heat, sophisticated weapons and haode armor on the battlefield, can help them save their lives, if they snatch it, it can be regarded as their own, they have already swarmed up.
Don't look at the number of forbidden soldiers, it's twice as many as them.
But if it really starts, the combat effectiveness of these border soldiers far exceeds that of the forbidden army.
"Speaking of which, the newly appointed civil official is riding a good horse!" Cheng Gang opened his sleepy eyes.
Wei Huan immediately nodded in agreement, his eyes rolling at the same time.
But at this time, Guo Fang suddenly glanced at the two of them lightly, which made the two of them shudder.
"Blind your dog's eyes!"
Compared with the generals of the forbidden army, the officers at the border pass are much more rude, and they will scold when they open their mouths, and almost every border general is like this, only a few people have not been assimilated, and the reason for this may be because of the high pressure of mental power, and scolding can spread anger.
"Do you know who that young civil servant is?"
Cheng Gang and Wei Huan are both hundreds of households in the border army, they have no backers, and their positions are cut out by themselves with the heads of an enemy, so naturally they are far less informed than He Yi, Wang Chang, and Xu Youcai, who are also hundreds of households.
"You don't even know bullshit, so you dare to mess around? Lao Tzu teaches you in vain on weekdays! Guo magnified and scolded.
Wei Huan squeezed out a smile and complimented, "How can your subordinates compare with you?" ”
"Yes, yes, if your subordinates can compare to you, then your subordinates can also be ranger generals now." Cheng Gang is also a sycophant.
Being a soldier at the border and taking a few scolds is a.
Even if Shangguan spat directly on their faces, they could calmly raise their hands to wipe it off without igniting the slightest fire.
It's too much for the dead to see!
Of course, sometimes their tempers can be very hot!
For those they are not convinced, they do not look at it at all.
"His surname is Jing!"
Guo Fang's voice landed, and Cheng Gang and Wei Huan were stunned.
Immediately, his face changed suddenly.
"Could it be that he is the Marquis of Jinjiang, the descendant of the general Jingxian?" Cheng Gang asked excitedly.
Guo Fang nodded lightly.
Wei Huan's right fist struck the palm of his left hand vigorously, "No wonder, no wonder he, a civil official, can have such a haode mount!" I remember that General Tu especially liked to collect BMW horses, and magic weapons, and the Marquis of Jinjiang was wealthy. ”
"It is said that Jing Chengxiong, the head-killing general, also has such a hobby." Cheng Gang added.
Wei Huan immediately said: "They are father and son!" ”
"In the opinion of General Ben, that white horse is no ordinary good horse." Guo Fang opened his mouth again at this time, "It's very much like the legend, the king of horses." ”
The king of horses?
Wei Huan and Cheng Gang were shocked.
"Do you have eyes that are full of breath? Didn't you see that one of the guards beside Jing Jianglong was also riding a good horse? But the horse did not dare to approach the white horse easily. "I have to say that although Guo Fang was very lazy along the way, his observation and eyesight were all first-class.
Wei Huan and Cheng Gang immediately looked at it, and after a while, they found that it was indeed like this.
"Don't talk about the white horse, it's the black horse, and I can't find a few similar ones in the entire northern Xinjiang."
Guo Fang naturally said that in the army of Great Qi, there are still many good horses from the foreign races in northern Xinjiang.
"It's a pity that the descendants of General Rentu actually took the road of literature." Cheng Gang shook his head.
Wei Huan said: "It's a pity, such a peerless horse...... It should be ...... for adults to ride."
Before he finished speaking, Guo Fang scolded angrily, "You want to kill this official?" So haode a BMW, can the official be kept by a ranger general from the fifth grade? ”
Cheng Gang and Wei Huan suddenly sank.
I didn't think about it before, and it was a pity that BMW was dusty.
Now that I think about it, such a good horse, Guo Fang really can't keep it.
So even Guo Fang thinks he can't keep it, how can Jingjiang Longhe be able to keep it when he comes to northern Xinjiang?
