Chapter 33: The First Entry into the Barracks

In the afternoon of the same day, Ji Ying wrote to the emperor and asked to go to the forbidden army station to investigate, and the emperor summoned Qu Shao, the commander of the forbidden army, to take them around tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the weather was fine. Jiang Yichen and Dong Jiu rode horses to pick up Ji Ying. Duanmu prepared the carriage early and went out with Ji Ying. When they were about to reach the camp of the forbidden army, the nomadic wild horse followed. Nomadic Wild is dressed more comically today. He was still dressed in a bright red robe, with a black jade belt around his waist, but a red cloak was draped behind him.

Ji Ying lifted the curtain of the car, and smiled sarcastically at the nomadic field: "On such a hot day, what are you doing with a cloak?" ”

Nomad Ye straightened a strand of hair that was lifted by the wind, and said, "This is the first time I've gone to the barracks, so I have to follow the customs of the countryside and play a prestige." ”

Ji Ying looked at Jiang Yichen and Dong Jiu, who were born in the military on the side, both of them were fresh and capable tight-sleeved military uniforms, with a narrow armor wrapped on the outside, and there was no cloak to pull the wind, but Jiang Yichen still had that waist knife stuck in his waist to show his identity, so he said to Nomad Ye: "You are dressed so conspicuously, and you are not afraid that the Great Commander Qu will hang you up as a flag envoy." ”

Nomad said: "It's useless for you to sarcastically mock me, I just like the feeling of being in the limelight." ”

"You seem to be proud, huh?"

"No, it's called swelling!" Nomad Ye said with his cloak flicked and his teeth and claws.

Ji Ying saw that nomadic was thick-skinned, and he didn't bother to argue with him, so he lowered the curtain and sat back in place.

The journey went smoothly, and soon we arrived at the camp of the forbidden army.

Although Qu Shao doesn't like to deal with civil officials, after all, it is an order from the emperor himself, and he must reply with good words, not to mention that Ji Ying has a young and famous Jiang Yichen who is ruthless and sophisticated. Everyone chatted in the tent for a while, and then went to the military field.

At this time, the military academy was lively. Horse runners, archers, boxers, swordsmen, and so on. Let's look at the young general who rode and arched, walked a few laps around the school field, held a strong bow in one hand, and took out a feather arrow from the quiver on horseback with the other, and pulled out a full, feathered arrow swished, and shot through the bull's-eye. This was followed by two arrows and three arrows in succession. Rhythmic heavy drums were heard on all sides of the school grounds, and soldiers waved their battle flags and cheered.

When the soldiers saw the commander Qu Shao leading a group of people over, they clasped their fists and saluted. Qu Shao nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to continue training.

It is rare for a civilian official to visit the soldiers here, so when they see Ji Ying, who is weak and weak in official uniforms, they all cast curious eyes. Ji Ying was also very curious about the scene in front of her, like a child who had never seen the world, walking through the swords, guns, swords, and halberds, touching them with her hands from time to time.

Jiang Yichen looked at Ji Ying's appearance, felt embarrassed, walked over, poked Ji Ying's back with his elbow, and said, "You are more restrained, it's just a pile of broken copper and iron that has not been warmed blood, look at your novelty." ”

"I've never seen so many blades - what do your swords look like in the northwest?"

"Weapons generally look similar, but the quality is different, and weapons pick people, the more people kill, the more spiritual the weapon is, not just anyone can control it."

Ji Ying pointed to the waist knife hanging on Jiang Yichen's waist and asked, "I see that you have always carried this waist knife, has it killed a lot of people?" ”

Jiang Yichen took off the waist knife, pulled the knife out of the sheath, and the person with the cold light reflected on the blade couldn't open his eyes: "This waist knife is not my Da Zhou's thing, it is the heirloom weapon of the Beidi royal family." At that time, my grandfather fought a decisive battle with Beidi, ran for seven days in a row, and cut off the head of Khan Xie Shan Yu in one go, and found this waist knife in Khan Xie Shan Yu's arms. The grandfather took advantage of the victory to pursue, smashed the tent of the king of Beidi, killed more than 30 people of the Beidi royal family and more than 100 ministers, and the direct killing of Beidi was invincible. Later, on the day I caught Zhou, my grandfather put it out and I grabbed it in my hand, and my grandfather was very happy, so he simply gave it to me, and I always carried it with me. ”

Ji Ying took the waist knife and looked at it for a while, and said: "The Jiang family is worthy of being the pillar of protecting the country, and the younger brother only hates being born late, and he has no knowledge." If you can be born a few years earlier, you may be lucky enough to see the handsome style. ”

"My grandfather died when I was two years old, and I don't remember what he looked like. My father said that if I could be taught under my grandfather's knees, I would not be what I am now. ”

"King Huai'an's requirements are too high, what do you call it like that? Yesterday when you were fighting with those thugs in the gambling house, I found that your kung fu was too good to speak, and you beat that group of people to the point where they couldn't fight back. I can see that the little brother's blood is boiling. ”

Jiang Yichen looked incredulous: "Ji Ying, are you praising me?" Rare, rare. ”

Ji Ying didn't talk to Jiang Yichen this time, returned the waist knife, and said, "If only I could have some self-defense skills, I will definitely use it in the future." ”

"Want to learn?"

"Is it too late?"

"It's okay, it depends on who the master is."

Ji Ying glanced at Jiang Yichen and said, "You don't want to be my martial arts master, do you?" I don't want to learn from you. ”

"Why? Didn't you just praise me? ”

"I am the newly appointed squire of the Criminal Department, you are the young county king praised by the whole country, if you become my martial arts master, it will definitely cause criticism in the court. Besides, I have a very good butler. Brother Duanmu's martial arts are not inferior to you, why should I be willing to go far? ”

Jiang Yichen waved his hand and said, "Okay, Lord Shilang." It's all about you! ”

On the general platform in front of the military field, Qu Shao and Duanmu Lingfeng chatted surprisingly familiarly, and after talking for a long time, they were also thirsty, so they made a pot of tea, and asked everyone to take a rest. Nomad Muye stood on the platform and shouted: "Little Wangye, Ji Ying, come and have a cup of tea and rest!" ”

Jiang Yichen asked, "Do you want to be together?" ”

Ji Ying looked at the idle war horse from afar, although she didn't dare to ride, but she really wanted to feel the feel of the war horse, and she couldn't care about drinking tea at the moment, so she replied: "You go first, leave me to watch it for a while." ”

Jiang Yichen glanced at Ji Ying with contempt and swaggered to Dianjiangtai.

Standing beside several war horses, Ji Ying touched and looked at it, from the horse's head to the horse's tail, from the saddle to the bridle, and the shining armor draped on the horse's body, each part was different from other horses, which made Ji Ying want to stop.

A sergeant passed by, stood behind Ji Ying, and introduced: "This war horse touched by the adults is the mount of our deputy commander, and his personality is relatively stubborn, and he loses his temper at every turn. Adults should stay away from it, and be careful of being hurt by it. The horse seemed to understand what people were talking about, and roared in agreement.

Ji Ying was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Then the sergeant said, "If you really like horses, let the little one find you a docile one." There are also a lot of unrecognizable horses in our barracks, which are very pleasing. ”

Ji Ying just arrived, so he was embarrassed to support others casually, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, I just look at it casually, and I don't know about horses, so I don't want to bother you." ”

The sergeant lowered his head and smiled, "Your Excellency is a bad thing to say about the villain." It's just a horse, what's the trouble. The adults wait, and the villains will come when they go. ”

Ji Ying excused herself a few more words, but the sergeant went straight away, although Ji Ying was embarrassed, she was very happy in her heart.

Soon, the sergeant brought over a maroon war horse, also wearing armor, very powerful, and Ji Ying's heart was itching, so he restrained himself and did not pounce immediately.

The sergeant stroked his horse's mane, and the horse shook its head, as if enjoying it, and let out a high-pitched cry. The sergeant said, "Your Excellency, you might as well go up and sit down, it's so boring to just look at it." ”

"I don't know how to ride a horse." Ji Ying smiled awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, who is born to be? This horse is very well-behaved. You go up, I'll teach you to ride. ”

Seeing that the sergeant was very earnest, Ji Ying said "thank you" and got on the horse under his command.

On the stage, Jiang Yichen watched Ji Ying's every move from afar, saw her get on the horse, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and asked Duanmu Lingfeng: "Doesn't Ji Ying know how to ride a horse?" ”

"yes."

"Not at all?"

"Not at all."

"But isn't she riding a horse now?"

Duanmu glanced up, frowned, put down the tea bowl, and said, "This kid is quite bold, and he dares to ride a war horse as soon as he comes up." ”

"And this war horse is good, but it is so arrogant that it takes a lot of effort to tame it."

Qu Shao said with a smile: "King Xiaohuai really understands horses. This jujube red horse is not ordinarily difficult to tame, and two horse trainers were kicked to death at that time! ”

Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Ji Ying, come down quickly!" ”

As soon as Ji Ying sat down, she vaguely heard Jiang Yichen calling her, and she didn't have the heart to reply. The sergeant tied Ji Ying's left foot to the stirrup.

Ji Ying moved her left foot and asked, "Why do you want to tie my left foot?" I don't remember other people tying their feet, huh? ”

The sergeant bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, the first time I rode a horse, I tied your feet so that you would not fall." ”

"Then why don't you tie your right foot too?"

"It's easy to dismount."

Jiang Yichen shouted again. Ji Ying raised his head and was about to reply, but he didn't expect that the sergeant was holding an iron thistle in his hand, and slapped it hard on the buttocks of the jujube red horse.

The people on the stage were shocked and rushed down. Jiang Yichen and Duanmu Lingfeng had already rushed over first, but the distance was relatively far, and it was too late.
