19. The old things of Tiance

"I saw Xiao Wenjing!"

At the back of the school field, in the attic, the little witch Xuanyu who was holding the clairvoyant mirror didn't care about the young knights who were fighting back and forth in the ring.

On the contrary, he is keen to find people he knows in the dense crowd.

Xuanyu's martial arts...

It's hard to tell.

Martial arts are all advanced martial arts, but they lack experience, and they are heavy on Gu arts, and they don't like to practice.

But after all, she has been cultivated by Master Tianbang since she was a child, and she has seen the world, and these young chivalrous people in front of her are very lively, but in Xuanyu's eyes, that's it.

It's better to play in the crowd and watch it more interesting.

She pointed to the seat of the Jade Emperor Palace, and gestured to Qingqing and Lei Shiyin beside her, asking them to look in that direction.

"Isn't that the Medicine King?"

Qingqing had also met Feng Yafu.

During this time, the Medicine King came to Luoyang with the disciples of the Jade Emperor Palace, and has been treating the injury of the last disciple of Nahua Mountain, Che Hua, who was picked and broken.

Occasionally, I went to the White Horse Temple to discuss medical skills with the mustard seed monk, plus the special relationship between Feng Yafu and Xiao Tie.

After coming and going, she also got to know the medicine king ghost doctor.

She looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror and said:

"Xiao Wenjing is still that skinny, still wearing boy's clothes, hey, she is with that little Taoist priest, alas, the two are still holding hands."

Lei Shiyin's focus is a little deeper.

The eldest lady of the Lei family looked at the clairvoyant mirror and asked:

"Xuanyu, how did you meet Wenjing? Didn't she grow up in the land of Qilu since she was a child? ”

"But she was born in Miaojiang."

Xuanyu stretched out his hand to knock on the jade toad in his hand, and explained to Lei Shiyin:

"Grandpa Feng's family members are all in Miaojiang, he is the son-in-law of Grandma Yang Asha's family, and Grandma Yang Asha's family is a black Gu family that has guarded witches for generations.

When I was a child, Grandpa Feng and Grandma Yang Asha were very close.

It's just that after Wen Jing was born, the two quarreled, and Grandpa Feng was angry, so he took Wen Jing to the Central Plains. ”

The little witch is also a very gossipy little girl.

She chattered to Qingqing and Lei Shiyin about the grievances and hatred of the Medicine King family.

"Xiao Wen Jing has been very talented in Gu art since he was a child, and Grandma Yang Asha wanted to let Wen Jing learn the witchcraft inherited by the family, but Grandpa Feng wanted to ask Jing to learn medical skills with him.

On our side of Miaojiang, the inheritance of medical skills, Gu techniques and poison techniques is quite strict, although everyone has learned some, but if you want to be truly proficient, you still have to choose one to learn.

This is irreconcilable. ”

"Tsk, that medicine king is really a ruthless person."

Qingqing pursed her lips and said:

"A person with his granddaughter has lived in Qilu for seven or eight years, won't he go back to see his wife?"

"They fell out, you Central Plains people don't understand the rules of our Miao Jiang."

Xuanyu grinned and said:

"Grandma Yang Asha is the head of the Black Gu family, very majestic, if Grandpa Feng doesn't apologize, even if he goes back to Miaojiang, he won't be able to enter the house.

However, when Grandpa Feng was young, he was in love, so he couldn't escape.

He didn't dare to go around messing with flowers and grass, if Grandma Yang Asha found out, he would send a family Gu master to catch him back. ”

Qingqing and Lei Shiyin looked at each other when they said this, and even Yaoqin listened attentively.

After a few breaths, Yaoqin asked with a strange look in her eyes:

"That little Xuanyu, your future husband, will you also be loved? And you are still in charge of the family, and if he upsets you, he will be expelled from the house? ”

"That's right."

Little Xuanyu tilted his head and said:

"But I'm sure I'm not going to punish him, someone else will do it. How noble is the witch, dare to make me unhappy, she has her own black and white Gu master, catch him and throw him into the Ten Thousand Worm Cave to suffer. ”

"Zhang Lan is so miserable, I won't laugh at him in the future."

Qingqing whispered, causing Lei Shiyin to nod again and again.

The customs of Miaojiang are really different from those of the Central Plains, which made several women in the house a little unacceptable for a while.

It was so noisy and noisy, and by the afternoon.

At the end of the first day of the competition, the people who watched the excitement had enough of the excitement, and told each other that those brilliant young knights left the scene satisfied.

A group of people in the rivers and lakes also left in twos and threes.

Today's contestants want to stay for a while, and the Heluo Gang has set up a banquet to entertain them.

said that it was congratulations and condolences, but in fact, Lei Ye was going to use the banquet to start digging the foot of the wall.

Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie naturally did not participate.

They said goodbye to Yang Fu and a few others, and then left the school field, and returned to the White Horse Temple with a few Nirvana monks, Qingqing and other girls.

Shen Qiu has a lot to do tonight, and since he has discovered that there are seven undercover agents in the city, he has to step up the practice of life and death contracts in case of emergency.

Shen Qiu is not the only young talent who did not participate in the banquet.

In Luoyang in the evening, a young man with a spear in his pocket left the city gate slowly, he rode on a thin horse, and there were people on the street who took the initiative to greet him.

His name is Li Baoguo.

A young Tiance soldier.

When he was sixteen years old, he came to Luoyang and lived in the old camp of the Tiance Army outside Luoyang for almost five or six years.

He wasn't born here, though.

But the surroundings of Luoyang City are as familiar as his hometown, although occasionally in dreams, he will still return to the time he grew up.

and the long-awaited Great Dispersal Pass.

When leaving the city gate, Li Baoguo pulled the reins of his horse and said hello to the two government soldiers at the city gate.

Not many people in Luoyang City like these soldiers.

Their work itself is not liked, the Southern Dynasty is weak, and the Northern Dynasty loses more and wins less, and the military discipline of the Luoyang Mansion is poor, so they are naturally hated.

But this young man on horseback didn't hate these soldiers, at least not them.

After all, he is also a soldier.

"Li Daxia, are you going back to the camp?"

An old government soldier with a worn-out gun called Li Baoguo with a smile.

He knew that this young man had to rush from the Tiance Army camp to Luoyang every day during this period of time, and he never spent the night in the city, and would rush back every night before the Tiance Army camp was closed.

"If you don't go back, you can't do it."

Li Baoguo smiled and said to the two government soldiers:

"The lieutenant gave a death order, he must go back every night to answer the mao, otherwise he will be beaten with a military stick, speaking of which, the two of them were also troubled a few days ago, and later every day, they must leave a door for me."

He took out a bag of oiled paper from his horse's pocket, threw it to the Nafu soldiers, and said:

"This is a good thing from the Heluo Gang banquet, so I should take it as my thanks."

"Alas, Li Daxia is polite."

The old soldier then took the oiled paper bag in his hand, sniffed it, and knew that it was a well-cooked whole chicken, which was a rare meal for them who were foolish and had no head.

"I'll go first, we'll see you tomorrow."

Li Baoguo took the reins of his horse, said goodbye to the two government soldiers, and when he left the city, he galloped towards the camp more than ten miles away.

"Tiance soldiers, they are really majestic."

Guarding the door with the old government soldier was a young government soldier in his twenties.

Wearing a tattered uniform, holding a rusty gun in his hand, and a single knife with a scabbard that was about to fall apart on his waist, he looked at Li Baoguo in the distance with a longing expression.

"Bolt, people in this world are naturally different."

The old soldier saw that there were not many people entering and leaving the city, so he leaned against the wall, opened the oiled paper bag, tore a chicken leg, put it under his nose and sniffed it fiercely, and then took a bite.

While eating, he beckoned to the young soldiers beside him and said:

"Come here, let's eat together, so as not to take it back and share it with that group of goods, don't give them this good thing."

"Second uncle, let's guard the city gate."

The young government soldier only became a soldier two months ago, and he still has a sense of responsibility, but he was glared at by the old government soldier and said:

"There are so many heroes in the city holding a martial arts conference, which thief who doesn't open his eyes dares to enter the city to 'work' at this time? Besides, you forgot all the things I taught you?

We are soldiers just to eat, why are you so hard-working? The government order can't see your intentions, and even if you do, most of them don't care. ”

The old soldier ate chicken legs and said to his nephew:

"Our Zhao family's court has long been rotten, if it weren't for the bad year, our Taihang hometown would be in chaos, who would want to come to him to be this Rausch soldier!"

Seeing that the second uncle was eating well, the young soldier also swallowed his saliva, ran to the second uncle's side, and shared the delicious roast chicken with his family.

He brought it from Taihang, that place was really poor, and he had never eaten the delicious food made by the good cooks in this prosperous Luoyang.

However, while eating, he frequently looked in the direction where Li Baoguo left, and when a chicken was finished, the plug wiped his mouth, and said to the second uncle who picked up the cigarette pouch:

"Second uncle, you have been in Luoyang for so many years, do you know when you will recruit troops when you will be recruited in the big camp that day? Since they are all soldiers, instead of being an incompetent soldier, it is better to go to the Tiance Army.

Look at Li Daxia, how majestic he is, and he has a good martial arts. ”

"Smack"

Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by his second uncle with a cigarette pouch.

The old soldier glared and said:

"Tiance Army is going to fight with the people of the Northern Dynasties, Guanzhong and Northern Shaanxi, you have to fight every year, our family is your generation, but you are a man!

How can I send you to war?

It's almost impossible to get rid of this thought, our family was born in a crop, isn't it good to live honestly?

Besides, the Tiance Army camp in Luoyang, that was the old camp left by the Great Chu Dynasty.

There are less than a thousand people guarding there, most of them are still old, weak, sick and disabled, and this is the place where the disabled soldiers who retired from the headquarters of the Tiance Army are old.

The Zhao family is also afraid of the strong soldiers in the world and does not allow them to recruit troops near Luoyang.

You don't have to think about it. ”

"Oh."

With a disappointed face, the bolt wiped his hands on the shabby coat, and looked back again, at this time, in the city gate, the street had been lit with lanterns, and the street was still bustling.

The young man, who had not seen much, vaguely saw his boss, the city gate official, who was getting drunk and walking into a wine shop on the street.

He didn't care about his duty to defend the city gates.

"That second uncle, Li Daxia is young, how can he be old in Luoyang? Shouldn't a good man like him be in Guanzhong and northern Shaanxi, fighting with the dog thieves of the Northern Dynasty and making meritorious contributions? ”

The bolt asked again.

After eating the chicken, the old soldier who was eating with his eyes closed put down his cigarette pouch, sighed, and said:

"I don't know this very well, but I heard that Li Daxia seems to have been driven out of the Guanzhong camp, as if he had done something wrong.

He seems to be the general of the Tiance Army, General Li Shouguo... What about Yoshiko. ”

Just when the two government soldiers were discussing Li Baoguo, the young man who was the first on the list also returned to the Luoyang camp.

Here, in fact, it is not as miserable as the old government soldier said.

Although it is indeed one of the three reserve military camps of the Tiance Army in the Central Plains, Xiaoxiang and Sichuanshu, it is indeed a place for the wounded soldiers and disabled generals to retire.

Those who can be sent here are either veterans who have been discharged from the army but have nowhere to go, or wounded soldiers who are injured and cannot go to war.

It's like a Invalides, all expenses are paid by the headquarters of the Tiance Army.

Although the court of the Southern Dynasty was wary of the Tiance Army, it fought against the Northern Dynasty and relied on the Tiance Army to hold the key places in Guanzhong, and would not get stuck in the money and grain.

This Luoyang camp is not a place where there is a shortage of food and clothing, and the daily use of these soldiers is not fine, but it is definitely a large amount of fullness, and there are also clothes in exchange.

For these soldiers who have fought all their lives, it really can't be considered miserable to retire here and be taken care of by their comrades.

In the Luoyang camp, there are now more than 800 people, and according to the military ranks of the Tiance Army, they can barely be regarded as a captain.

There was a lieutenant in charge of the affairs of the battalion.

Li Baoguo's position in the Luoyang camp was that of the chief officer in charge of mules and horses, and he was regarded as a logistics officer.

"Serve the country, I'm back."

As soon as he led the horse into the camp, a group of soldiers patrolled him.

Although there are no unsightly bandits in the local area who rush to attack and harass the camp, the daily patrols and military exercises here are all done in accordance with the regulations of the headquarters.

Very strict.

The patrolling soldiers, wearing the standard armor of the Tiance Army, are red, and they are very powerful.

But the leader was an old man in his sixties, and his waist was a little bent.

The four or five people who followed him on patrol either had old injuries on their bodies, or they lacked arms and legs, and they couldn't be powerful no matter how they looked at it.

"Well, Uncle Wu, I didn't bring you wine today, I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to get it."

Li Baoguo laughed and said something to the old man, and the other party also smiled dumbly and said:

"No, it's gone, and I drink a lot of that wine. Serve the country, today I heard that it is the opening battle of the Heroes Club, how well did you fight? Didn't you embarrass our Tiance Army, did you? ”

"How so?"

Li Baoguo thumped his chest and said loudly:

"Today, I lost five people in a row, and even the disciples of the famous Xiaoxiang Sword Sect were defeated by my gun, this time, I want to make a name for our Tiance Army!

lest those martial arts people underestimate us soldiers. ”

"Good!"

These words caused the surrounding soldiers to applaud loudly, and Li Baoguo was also very comfortable staying with these soldiers who were a round older than him, and he was about to sit down and brag to the elders.

Then a herald came running.

"Serve the country, Captain Du asked you to go to him."

The herald said a word, Li Baoguo answered, and hurriedly followed, thinking that coming to respond to [Liancheng] was the matter of the previous day's inquiry, and he had eyebrows.

He entered the wing where the lieutenant lived, and when he entered the door, he saw the lieutenant wearing a long robe and soaking his feet.

This lieutenant only has one arm, is nearly fifty years old, and has difficulty moving, so Li Baoguo stepped forward and squatted down to scrub the surface of the captain's feet.

It's not flattery.

In the past six years, he has been taken care of a lot by the captain, so he naturally serves the captain as an elder.

In fact, Li Baoguo treated the veterans of the entire Luoyang battalion as his elders.

"Serve the country, the person you asked me a few days ago, I can tell you today."

Sitting on the chair, the lieutenant saw Li Baoguo get up, touched his beard, and said with a smile:

"Actually, when you asked me who that Lu Unruly was, I wanted to tell you at the time, but this matter was a gag order issued by the general himself back then, and it was not allowed, so I couldn't say it casually."

"That road is unruly, is it really my Tiance soldier?"

Li Baoguo sat next to the lieutenant and was very surprised.

The lieutenant shook his head and said:

"He is not only a Tiance soldier, but also a first-class hero of my Tiance Army since it became an army! But it's a pity that creation makes people.

If you have nothing to do tonight, I will tell you a good story about the past of the fierce generals that day.

Oh, by the way, I heard that Hao, the director of the Martial Arts League, is now in Luoyang City, I'm afraid you don't know yet, that Ren Hao, who was also a member of our Tiance Army back then.

Lu Duwei is now the leader of the martial arts alliance, the commander of the army back then. ”
