Chapter 11: A First Glimpse of the Door (1)

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the ninth month, and when he got up early in the morning, Luoyin packed his clothes with Luoshui Han and set off for Wutong City. Due to the long distance and the lack of cars and horses, the father and son walked for a whole day before crossing the Jialan Mountain and arriving at Wutong City. When I entered the city, it was already nightfall, and the lights were on.

After finding an inn to stay, Xu was extremely tired after a day's walk, and fell asleep on the bed, and slept soundly all night, until the next day when the sky was bright, and then he got up in a daze. When he opened his sleepy eyes, he saw that his father was already sitting at the table, buying two hot steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and waiting for him to wake up. Seeing that he was up, he fell into the water and said, "Hurry up and wash up, and after eating, I will take you to the Overseer's camp." ”

Luo Yin immediately turned over and got out of bed, washed and dressed, and after eating, he went to the left battalion of the Zhennan cavalry in the east of the city with Luoshuihan.

The cavalry battalion was stationed on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, where the terrain was flat, with a hundred miles of grassland, and a river not far away, and lush vegetation. As soon as he left the city gate, Luo Yin saw a large military camp from a distance, hundreds of buildings of varying heights were closely arranged, and the labyrinth-like gray city walls surrounded the inside and outside. Around the camp, there are many watchtowers, and the tiger head banner of the Grand Overseer of Zhennan is hung on the watchtower. Luo Yin followed his father to the huge stone gate of the camp, and an old man with white temples and white beard and white eyebrows dressed in a blue and black mage robe had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Your Excellency, I've kept you waiting. Luo Shui Han bowed slightly respectfully, and Luo Yin quickly bent down and bowed when he saw this.

"Shui Han, you're polite. Whitebeard's steward smiled and waved his hand. This old man has been a military advisor to General Baihu for many years, and he is also the steward of this large battalion, known as the Heavenly Fury Mage, and he was also a famous figure when he was young. Then he looked at Luo Yin, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and pinched his arm, and said: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen him for many years, Luo Yin's child has grown so big, and now he is a dignified man, well, yes, but he is also strong, it is a good material!"

"Then, I will entrust Yin'er to the steward, and Master Lao will take care of it and take care of it strictly. "Falling water cold road.

"Where is it, you and I have been friends for many years, I am a world friend with your father, Yin'er is here with me, I will treat it well, take care of it carefully, you have the right and rest assured. The Heavenly Fury Mage stroked his beard and smiled.

"Then thank you, sir. ”

"Why don't you go in with me first? General White Tiger will be here today to observe the drills of the bow and arrow battalion, just in time to meet you?"

"I'm a small citizen in the market, and it's inconvenient to enter this important military camp. Luo Shuihan excused himself, "Besides, how can I be able to be met by the Grand Overseer of Zhennan." Besides, I don't know this White Tiger General either, what are you doing to see him?"

The Heavenly Fury Mage had always known the temperament of Luoshui Han, and he was not reluctant, so he had to say goodbye to him, and then entered the gate of the camp with Luoyin, passed through the iron and bronze walls of the road, and went straight to the inner courtyard where the governor of the left camp of the knights in the camp was located.

Along the way, there were burly samurai with solemn expressions and grim eyes, some wearing light leather armor, some wearing iron heavy armor. There were also some silver-armored knights who rode a black panther around the camp, holding a cold and cold broad-mouthed sword, the black panther's yellow eyes showed a fierce light, and Luo Yin's heart was furious, and after Luo Yin glanced at each other, he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at the black panther again. Everything in this barracks is like a new world for Luo Yin, and although this solemn atmosphere makes Luo Yin a little nervous, he is more full of curiosity. Another group of knights riding a panther passed by Luo Yin, and the knights led by him couldn't help but look at Luo Yin twice when they saw someone appearing. The grim look was so frightened that he quickly dodged behind the Heavenly Fury Mage.

"Hehe, child, don't be afraid, it's good to get used to it slowly in the future. These Black Panther riders just look fierce, they are the Moonlight Knights, the elite of my Jialan warriors, all of them have experienced a hundred battles. The Heavenly Fury Mage smiled and comforted.

"They look so imposing, my lord. Luo Yin said enviously.

"Yes, hahaha, as long as you work hard, I hope that one day you can become one of them, and don't live up to your father's hard work. ”

"Yes, I must study hard. By the way, Lord Steward, I heard from you that my grandfather was a family friend of you, but I never heard my father mention him, only that I died before I was born, can you tell me about my grandfather? What did he do?"

"Hmm...... This is a long story, and you suddenly asked me, and I don't know where to start...... You see I'm old...... Sometimes my head just can't remember...... Let's talk about it later, about it later. The Heavenly Fury Mage replied with some hesitation.

Luo Yin stopped asking questions and honestly followed behind the Heavenly Fury Mage.

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the governor of the left camp was talking to his subordinates, and suddenly saw the Heavenly Fury Master come in, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Lord Steward, there is a loss of welcome, and it is rude." ”

"You're welcome. Master Heavenly Fury walked into the hall and sat down in the middle of the road, "I brought someone and planned to arrange it in your camp first, I don't know what you want?"

"My lord, you have seen the outside, since you are your person, I will listen to your arrangement. The governor said.

"Okay, I'll leave that person to you. The Heavenly Fury Mage turned to Luo Yin again and said, "Luo Yin, this is Zhang Musha, the governor who commands the knight's left camp, and the leader of the moonlight knight, from today onwards, you will be under the Zhang Dutou camp, naturalized as a junior knight." ”

Luo Yin nodded, and thanked the mage with a fist. He then bowed to Zhang Dutou and said, "See Lord Dutou." ”

Zhang Dutou laughed, and then called two internal guards to take Luo Yin to the sergeants' barracks to settle down. After Luo Yin left, Zhang Dutou asked Master Tianfu: "Who is this? ”

"Oh, he is the descendant of one of my benefactors, he has been lonely since he was a child, and now he has taken refuge in me, how can I not care. Master Heavenly Fury smiled, got up and said, "Okay, you have to train carefully in the future, this kid has good talents, and he should be able to achieve great things in the future." I still have something to do, so I'll stay soon. With that, he strode out of the lobby.

Zhang Dutou seemed to believe it or not, seeing that the attitude of the Heavenly Fury Mage was ambiguous, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, and seeing that the mage was in a hurry to leave, it was not good to ask a few more questions, so he had to send him out of the camp.

After entering the camp for about a month, Luo Yin was only on duty in the castle tower every day, and there was nothing else to do except get up in the morning and go out with the knight's camp for an hour after breakfast, and most of the day was spent in the silly standing against the city wall.

The guards of this city tower are not allowed to take a nap, not to drink water, not to move around at will, and not to squat, and must always pay attention to the surrounding situation, which is undoubtedly a great mental torture for the retreat of the young man's heart. It's only been a month, and he feels doubly tormented, and every day is unbearable. On this day, he held a pole in his hand, stood at the east end of the city tower, looked at the distant mountains that could not be seen in the bright sun at noon, recalled the days of freedom in the fishing village, slept until the sun three poles every day, and went to the sea to catch shrimp and fish, so comfortable, he couldn't help but sigh.

With him, a young man standing guard on the other side, whose name was You Yiruo, saw him sighing and listless, and asked, "Brother Luoyin, why are you so depressed?

Luo Yin turned his head, with a depressed look on his face, and said slowly: "Originally, I thought that I could enter this military camp and practice martial arts and practice the method every day, but I never thought that I would just stand guard on the city tower every day, and no one would teach me a little bit of fists and kicks or magic. ”

After hearing this, You Yiruo smiled and said: "You have only been here for a month, so you make such a fuss and sigh, I have been here for almost a year, and I am just standing guard so far." ”

"That being the case, it's just a waste of time, so why waste it again, it's better to go home and be at ease. As soon as Luo Yin heard this, he inexplicably surged into a suffocating fire and threw Changge in his hand to the ground.

"Don't do that. You Yiruo hurriedly ran over and picked up Changge and handed it back to Luo Yin's hand, and then looked around, for fear of alarming the captain of the patrol guard, and spoke: "Don't come nonsense, the rules in the army are strict, if you are seen by the patrol, you will be punished for dereliction of duty, and then you will inevitably suffer the crime." ”

"Standing here like a statue every day is also a living sin. Luo Yin replied angrily.

"Do you know that all new naturalizers, whether knights or mages, have to go through such a year of training, the purpose is to sharpen their minds and increase their minds. ”

When the "......" heard this, he was silent. But I was thinking in my heart that my father had finally sent himself to the camp after falling into the cold, and if he was eliminated like this, not only would he have no face, but he would also have some hard work and expectations for the cold in the water. Then I thought about it, and since this is the case for everyone in this camp, I will grit my teeth and hold on no matter what. Having said that, Luo Yin couldn't help but sigh when he thought that this long year was far away.

"Why is that?" wondered.

"No matter what, it's just that this method of tempering is extremely stupid, futile and ridiculous. Luo Yin shrugged.

"How can you say that?"

"I am a young man with a strong blood, and it is when I am full of energy and interest, but I want to stand here, and over time, I see that my heart may not be sharpened, but will be tortured to lifeless, and at that time, I will have no ambition, and I will only be mediocre. ”

"This is the rule of the camp, and there must be a reason...... "You said.

"Oh, what's the reason? In the final analysis, the rules are only made by people, and in my opinion, the person who sets the rules must be an old stubborn and stubborn old stubborn. ”

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Musha was leading the knight of the moon light to pass by the city tower, and just heard Luo Yin's words, so he shouted: "Who is so frivolous that he is complaining here?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Musha turned around and led the moonlight knights to the city tower, and when they came to the sentry post, Luo Yin and You Yiruo stood still in front of them, and the momentum was not terrifying. The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, they stood up straight honestly, just looking ahead, and they didn't dare to look at Zhang Musha's face.

"Who is it who dares to slander the training method in the army?" asked Zhang Musha.

Luo Yin and You Yiruo were silent, but their heads were sweating.

"Since I am so arrogant, I dare to make a big statement, but at the moment I am timid and perverse, so spineless, I don't think there is much future. Zhang Musha snorted coldly, his gaze swept over Luoyin. No one admitted it, so they were punished together, and someone came and dragged them to the school grounds, where they did not eat or drink, and were exposed to the sun for three days. ”

Luo Yin gritted his teeth and immediately said: "Governor, the person who just said nothing is me, and it has nothing to do with You Yiruo, I am willing to be punished, but please don't harm the innocent." ”

"Hmph, you still have a bit of backbone. Zhang Musha sneered, and then ordered the knight behind him: "Come on, tie up Luoyin and hang him on the school field to set an example." ”

After speaking, Luo Yin was carried to the school field by two moonlight knights, and hung under the flag gate that the black panther usually used to train the panther with his hands tied. For a while, everyone was curious, and many people watched, not knowing why this young man was punished so heavily.

It happened that Master Heavenly Fury came to find Zhang Musha to discuss important matters in the army, and when he passed by the school, he suddenly saw a noisy crowd of people, so he walked into the crowd of spectators to take a look. At a glance, he saw that Luo Yin was naked, and his arms were tied and hung under the high flag gate, and he was immediately surprised, knowing that Luo Yin must have angered Zhang Musha, and he would be punished like this, and he was anxious at the moment, for fear that Luo Yin would not be punished for being young and frail and would not be punished and go on a business trip, in case there was a good man, he would not be able to explain to Luoshui Han, but at this moment he was not good at favoritism, so he hurriedly left the school and went straight to the inner courtyard of Zhang Musha's knight left camp.

When the mage arrived at the inner courtyard of the knight's left camp, Zhang Musha was drinking to himself. Seeing that Master Tianfu walked in anxiously, Zhang Musha hurriedly got up to greet him, but he was still carrying the pot of wine in his hand, and said with a slightly drunken smile: "Master Master, why are you so sad?"

"You're still in the mood for a drink. The Heavenly Fury Master snatched the wine jug, put it on the case, and said, "Let me ask you, did you ask someone to tie Luo Yin to the school grounds, and hang him for three days and three nights, and still don't give him food and drink?"

"It's just for this matter, it's just a small punishment for this kid's unruliness, why should adults be so anxious. Zhang Musha smiled with red eyes.

"Huh," the Heavenly Fury Mage flicked his sleeves and continued, "Do you know who this young man is entrusted with?

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Fury Mage suddenly realized that he was in a hurry and was about to lose his words, and hurriedly diverted the conversation and said: "Luo Yin is my benefactor, and he is young and untrained, how can he withstand such corporal punishment, if there is a good one, how can my old face confess?"

Zhang Musha was alert, but he was not drunk, so he hurriedly widened his eyes and asked as he spoke: "Master Mage, who is entrusted by whom?"

Master Heavenly Fury waved his hand and said, "This is my old family's business, it is inconvenient to say more, it is an ordinary family, not an official or noble, but I had the grace to save me when I was in trouble many years ago, so I must not neglect it." ”

"In this case, after the benefactor of the Master Master, then how dare I slack off, I will ask someone to let it go. Zhang Musha said.

"Alas, wait," the Heavenly Fury Mage thought about it, after all, there are rules in the army, and they can't be so casual, if he pardons Luo Yin because of his words, he is afraid of breaking the rules in the army, and second, he is afraid of sweeping Zhang Musha's prestige, and third, everyone knows that Luo Yin has him as a great mage as a backer, which is not conducive to his growth. So the Heavenly Fury Master said, "Even if there is a mistake in the first place, he should be punished, let him hang for a day, and if he is weak tomorrow, he will be let go back to the camp to recuperate." ”

When Zhang Musha heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

The Heavenly Fury Mage stroked his gray beard, still with a bit of helplessness and sadness on his face, and left the inner courtyard of the knight's left camp with his hands behind his back.
