All the vital points of the country will be guarded by the faithful ministers.

As a strategic point in Xingguo, the Turbidity Bridge is garrisoned by a Sima soldier, and the sequence belongs to the garrison.

The leader of the military Sima is the seven-rank lower armor, he wears a standard rhino armor, holds a halberd in one hand, and holds the hilt of the sword in the other, looking at the Qing's banner hundreds of zhang away.

To offend such a powerful force as the Qing clan, his eyes changed and pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes were firm and gritted his teeth to make a final decision.

Beckoning to the two henchmen around him, the military Sima whispered: "A few months ago, the Qing clan vassals dared to bully the prince and damage the majesty of the prince of the country.

Now he has gathered many vassals, calling friends and roaring along the way, which is enough to see how arrogant he is, and he is not a minister of a human king.

Now I want to stop the Qing team and drive all their supernumerated private troops back, so as to humiliate him, and I hope that the two of you can help me. ”

The two team leaders glanced at each other, obviously seeing the opportunity, and nodded without hesitation: "I have no opinion on being able to vent for the prince." ”

Both teams have their own small calculations.

The Turbid Water Bridge is on the boundary of Huoqiu City, and it does not belong to the jurisdiction of Beilin City, and the garrison has no subordinate relationship with the local area, so it is not afraid of offending the Qing clan at all.

If they can vent their anger for the prince, they will not worry about the promotion opportunity in the future, and they will want the team on the other side to pass quickly.

At this time, on the north bank of the turbid water, there were more than 2,000 people waiting to cross the river in turn, not only thousands of knighted teams, but also hundreds of Chinese people and merchants.

The military and civilians of Xingguo are famous for their good and tidy time, and now they are naturally no exception.

More than 2,000 horses gathered together, and there was not much confusion, lined up in a neat queue, and passed the muddy water bridge in an orderly manner.

The Qing clan and the Ye clan, a team of nearly 700 people, about forty feudal lords gathered together, attracting the attention of other vassals, as well as the soldiers guarding the bridge.

The feudal lords and retainers already had privileges in front of the countrymen, but now they are going to the capital to make a pilgrimage to the monarch and participate in the spring festival, and the countrymen and merchants all wait for the knighted procession to cross the bridge first.

Doctor Ye is the highest and the elder, leading the Ye people to pass through the checkpoint to the opposite bank first, when Qingyang rode the horse to follow closely and was about to walk up the bridge, but unexpectedly found that the bridge guards stopped the barricade in front of him.

"The knight goes to the national capital, and without the warrant of the monarch, the number of private troops led by him shall not exceed the limit of the law!"

The chief who spoke, obviously knowing the Qing clan's previous strong achievements, looked panicked, but he insisted on speaking tremblingly.

"Oh?"

Qingyang had long expected that there would be people looking for trouble on the road, but he didn't expect that the first one to jump out was such an insignificant soldier.

He wasn't angry about it, and losing his temper with such a chief would only make people laugh.

With a faint smile on his face, he shook his head lightly and said, "According to the law of vassals, the Qing clan has thirty-six private troops, and now according to this number, where is there a transgression?"

"Sergeant is well!"

Jun Sima, who was watching from a distance, accompanied by the two team leaders, led nearly a hundred troops to form a formation, his face was respectful but uncompromising, and he said,

"The sergeant knows that according to the law, there can only be 36 private soldiers, why is there enough hundreds of armor soldiers around him?

The Qing clan is full of armor, and the powerful aura of the dragon armor is always revealed, even this military Sima feels a trace of fear in his heart, and the armored soldiers behind him are even more awe-inspiring and envious.

The onlookers and businessmen from afar saw the Qing team, and they couldn't help but exclaim: "This is the Qing private army, sure enough, people are like dragons, horses are like tigers, it's really powerful~"

"Oh my God, the armor on the centaur is all made of dragon skin armor, and the scale armor pattern is at least a five-grade group dragon~"

A businessman couldn't help but proudly say: "A few years ago, the Qing clan purchased 100,000 pieces of cloth, and I had the honor to transport 1,000 horses for the Qing clan, and there were more than 3,000 people in the martial arts cultivation alone~"

The whispers of the countrymen and businessmen in the distance made this military Sima look very ugly, and he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, in case the Qing clan was arrogant and killed himself, I don't know if anyone would avenge him.

However, he cheered for himself in his heart, since the Qing clan was a vassal of Xing State, he would never dare to kill the garrison easily, otherwise it would be a crime of rebellion.

Qingyang glanced at this person, with a faint smile on his face, and beckoned behind him: "The Qing clan's private army stepped forward and said hello to this loyal military horse." ”

"Yes~"

Thirty-six seventh-rank subordinates roared together, and after dismounting, they came to Qingyang in a neat queue, releasing a powerful aura without any scruples.

This military horse's face turned slightly pale, and the thirty-six people in front of him were all seventh-rank armor warriors like him, compared with the other party's regimental dragon armor, the rhino armor he was originally proud of was like a beggar's outfit.

However, he still held back the fear in his heart, pointed to the other fifty people behind Qingyang and asked, "Dare to ask the sergeant, these people are also dressed, aren't they the Qing family's private army?"

"I'm a Qing groom!"

It was the red ghost Xin Yi who spoke, he didn't even bother to get off the horse, and said casually with a yawn, "Your Excellency has traveled five thousand miles for the first time, so naturally you have to bring more grooms to take care of the horses." ”

"You say it's a groom, what proof do you have?" Jun Sima roared in a low voice unwillingly.

"Proof?" "Proof?" the red ghost Xin Yi suddenly looked unkind, and pointed to an inconspicuous place on his chest and said, "This is proof." ”

A soldier with good eyes saw that there was a copper piece the size of a finger's belly inlaid in the dragon armor, and two words the size of a peanut were engraved on it: horseman.

This discovery made people speechless, especially the power of the Red Ghost Xinyi Five-Rank Warrior Realm, which made this military Sima feel a lot of pressure.

At this moment, even though he faintly regretted it, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, he had to continue to maintain a tough attitude towards Qingyang Dao,

"Sergeant, I have never heard of any horseman whose strength is stronger than the private army, is it possible that the horsemen of the Qing clan are stronger than the private army?"

"That's your loneliness!"

Qingyang unceremoniously opened up, "Three hundred years ago, the twenty-seventh generation of monarchs fought against the Xianyu army, and personally led the horsemen and men to attack the enemy camp, so that our Xingguo won the war and recovered the country.

Two hundred and thirty years ago, the thirtieth generation of monarchs fought against Xianyu, and also mobilized horsemen and heavy people to help in the war, so that our Xingguo would not be destroyed again after the restoration of the country. ”

At this moment, Qingyang found that the advantage of reading through the history books and scriptures was that no one could beat the mouth cannon, and all kinds of allusions came easily, but the other party could only listen dumbfounded.

This military Sima wanted to pull back a game, but he was unexpectedly sprayed with saliva by Qingyang, and he didn't dare to talk about the problem of the groom anymore.

Anxiously, he pointed to the puppet beast battle lane that Ye Mengqiu was riding: "Could it be that you are also driving the car, and you are not the horseman of the Qing clan?"

Driving the chariot were two sixth-rank upper armor soldiers and twelve seventh-rank lower armor soldiers from Ma Boda and Zhi Liming, and they were extremely strong and strong from the leaders of the wild people, with their own fierce appearances, and their faces were full of no one to mess with me.

Seeing that the military master pointed the finger at him, Ma Boda replied lazily: "I am not a horseman, we are a Qing chauffeur, who drives for the lord. ”

"You guys are enough!" Jun Sima finally couldn't help but burst out under the pressure of fear and panic, "Could it be that the Qing clan treats me as a fool?

"But the law does not explicitly require that the horsemen and coachmen of the vassals cannot be stronger than the private army!"

Qingyang said with a cold face, "The monarchs of the past dynasties have long affirmed that if there is no clear law, it is not prohibited, and if there is no law, there will be no punishment.

My groom and coachman are powerful, even the king will never say anything, if you continue to pester, you will soon become a fool. ”

"You~"

Jun Sima's face flickered, and he suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood and fell on his back, and the whole person was unconscious.

The two team leaders behind him didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and hurriedly dragged the military Sima to get out of the stone bridge, and helplessly watched the Qing team cross the bridge.
