Liangzhou, known as Yongzhou and Guzang in ancient times, was also called Xiu Tucheng for a period of time.

The border of Liangzhou Prefecture is 400 miles from east to west, 830 miles from north to south, separated by mountains in front of the territory, surrounded by deserts, and borders with Xue Yantuo, the strongest enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this, the status of Liangzhou has always been pivotal, and it is regarded as the first important town in the northwest by the imperial court. Among the 358 prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, there are 41 prefectures, and Liangzhou is one of them.

The so-called Governor's Mansion is a special area set up by the Tang Dynasty in a military area.

The highest governor of the Governor's Office is the Governor, who has a very high authority, not only ruling over the surrounding states and counties, but also holding heavy troops and having unified command of the war.

As the governor of Liangzhou, Wei Chi Baolin had two powerful armies, one was stationed in the west of Liangzhou, with a total of more than 30,000 soldiers, called the Chishui Army. The other was stationed in the northwest of Guazhou, 1,000 miles in number, and numbered about 5,000, called the Moli Army.

These two armies are not only large in number, but also well-equipped, and are one of the strongest fighting units in the Tang Dynasty.

The task of Tiance Mansion is to inspect Liangzhou, and inspecting Liangzhou is actually to inspect the garrison of Liangzhou, which is also one of the ways in which the imperial court controls the army under heaven.

Today is the first day of the inspection, and Qin Sheng and Jiang Shenzhou came to the barracks early. This military camp is located in Xicheng, which is the station of the Chishui Army. Patrolling the barracks didn't require the protection of troops, so they only came with two people.

Wei Chi Baolin was not present, and he was busy with official business, and he arranged for another person to come, and the two sides agreed to meet at the gate of the barracks. Seeing that the agreed time was still early, Qin Sheng and Jiang Shenzhou decided to go in first to have a look.

The scale of the barracks is huge, and as far as the eye can see, there is no end to the continuous ramparts, and between the ramparts, there is an arrow tower every hundred paces, and there is a guard tower every thousand steps, there is no doubt that this is a well-defended barracks. Inside the ramparts were the barracks, densely packed with barracks, and it seemed that there were at least a few thousand.

The two of them walked around the room at random, and they came to a neat row of low houses, which were military camps, and each house was almost identical. Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Qin Sheng stopped and said, "Let's go back." ”

Jiang Shenzhou agreed: "Okay, let's go." ”

After speaking, the two stood in silence.

Qin Sheng looked at him and said, "Why don't you leave yet?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Qin Sheng looked confused: "Isn't it the way you lead?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou was stunned and said, "Huh? I thought you were leading the way. ”

There was silence again.

After a while, Qin Sheng sighed helplessly: "You say, are we lost again?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou nodded.

Qin Sheng didn't give up, and asked again: "But you are so smart, don't you remember the way back?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou smiled bitterly: "Being smart doesn't mean having a good memory, I forgot to tell you that I'm a person who can easily get lost." ”

Qin Sheng was also smiling bitterly: "You should have told me earlier." ”

Fortunately, it is not difficult to find a way back, this is a barracks, there are soldiers everywhere, just ask them.

But before they could ask for directions, a noise caught their attention, coming from the nearby armory, sounding like someone was arguing.

When the two of them got closer, they saw a low-ranking officer in leather armor shouting, this person was bloated and full of flesh, and he was not good-tempered at first glance.

In front of the officer stood a skinny soldier, who was supposed to be the armory guard.

"You're new! Do you understand the rules! Do you know who Lao Tzu is? Get out of the way! The officer was arrogant, pointing at the guard's nose and shouting loudly.

"The armory is an important place in the army, and no one can enter without a warrant!" Skinny guards stood in front of the armory door.

"Lao Tzu tells you, this is the military camp of our Han people, and you Hu people only have to obey orders. Get out of the way! ”

Jiang Shenzhou found the reddish-brown hair under the guard's helmet, and it turned out that he was a Hu man. The land of Liangzhou is mixed with Hu and Han, and there are many Hu people in the military camp.

"The armory is an important place in the army, and no one can enter without a warrant!" The guard repeated the words, not backing down.

"I don't know how to lift! Today Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson. The enraged officer pushed the guard to the ground, and he was still angry, and stepped forward to punch and kick him continuously.

Although there were many soldiers around, they just watched coldly, and none of them stepped forward to stop them. In the blink of an eye, the guard had been beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, and the officer was still kicking him.

"Stop!"

Qin Sheng rushed forward with a loud shout and grabbed the officer's arm.

The officer not only did not stop, but punched her. This man is like a mad cow that will attack anyone who comes near him.

However, how could he be Qin Sheng's opponent, as soon as he threw a punch, Qin Sheng had already turned around and dodged. She showed no mercy and kicked the officer to the ground in a few strokes.

Qin Sheng just wanted to stop the officer, so after the officer fell to the ground, she stopped.

The officer still refused to admit defeat, and the man who had lost his mind struggled to his feet, screamed and rushed towards Qin Sheng, and when he rushed towards her, he had already drawn the saber at his waist.

As soon as he drew his saber, a figure flashed by, and before he could see the face of the comer, a sharp pain came from his abdomen, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, and even the saber was taken away at some point.

When he saw it again, the blade had stopped in front of his eyes, and a young man looked at him coldly.

This young man is Jiang Shenzhou.

Jiang Shenzhou sneered: "Breaking into the armory and beating the guards, your courage is really not small. ”

The officer laughed arrogantly: "So what? Do you know who Lao Tzu is? Lao Tzu is a person under the governor of Wei Chi. ”

"Oh......" Jiang Shenzhou smiled and said, "Then do you know who I am?" ”

The officer said angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, Lao Tzu only knows that no one here can kill me." By this time, his arrogance was still very arrogant.

Jiang Shenzhou said: "Oh, you mean that even the imperial court can't kill you?" ”

"You...... You...... Are you really ...... I ......" The officer didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Qin Sheng's armor, his face instantly turned pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Keep people under the knife!" Just then, a man rushed over on horseback.

The man on the horse was dressed in armor, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked like a bearded man. Notably, he has a deep scar on his face, which spreads from the bridge of his nose to his jaw, making him look extremely ugly.

Qin Sheng stared at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "The last general, the deputy envoy of the Chishui Army, Gushamo, will meet the two Qincha lords. "Fugu Samo is the one sent by Yu Chi Baolin.

Qin Sheng said: "This person's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, what do you say?" ”

Fugu Sama Zhengse said: "According to military law, you should be punished with a hundred rods and imprisoned for one year." ”

Qin Sheng nodded: "Then let's do it." ”

Fugu Samo beckoned, and someone had already stepped forward to drag the officer away, and there was already a puddle of yellow water on the ground where the officer was lying, and it seemed that he was frightened.

The wounded guard was also carried down, and although the upright soldier never spoke, his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Jiang Shenzhou.

The onlookers also dispersed, and a farce ended.

Fugu Shamo muttered: "This person's name is Wei Chi Sheng, and he is the general of the governor of Wei Chi Du. ”

Qin Sheng asked rhetorically, "So what?" Her tone was cold, because she was most disgusted with such unruly people.

Fugu Sama snorted and sneered: "The two are big officials from the imperial court, so naturally they don't take him seriously. It's just that this is the first day you have come to the barracks, and you will kill people on the first day, which is a bit ......."

Jiang Shenzhou said: "You want to say presumptuous? ”

"How dare the last general." Fugu Sama replied: "It's just that the military camp has the rules of the military camp, if the rules are broken, so that the army's heart is unstable, not only the general will not be able to escape the blame, even the two of them may not be able to bear it." He spoke very bluntly, with no hidden sense of blame between his words.

Qin Sheng didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he said, "You're here to take us on a tour, right, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Alas...... Patrol ......" Fugu Sama sighed helplessly, looking very reluctant, and said, "In that case, you can come with me." ”

He said that he would leave, and he didn't care whether Qin Sheng and Jiang Shenzhou followed at all.

Looking at the back of Fugu Shamo, Jiang Shenzhou sighed and said, "I can see it." ”

Qin Sheng didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Huh? ”

Jiang Shenzhou said with a smile: "The people here have a big temper, and they won't hide it at all. ”

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect Yu Chi Baolin to send such a person over. She paused, and then suddenly said, "By the way, you looked so fierce just now, do you really want to kill him?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou shook his head: "How could it be?" I just scared him. ”

Qin Sheng said again: "Also, it turns out that your skills are so good, I didn't know before." She looked at Jiang Shenzhou, her eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Shenzhou was just about to answer, when he heard Fugu Shamo's impatient urging: "What are you guys rubbing, don't hurry up." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and quickly quickened their pace.

The day's inspection was soon over, and during this day, Sugu Samo took them to see many places, stables, houses, arrow towers, every place was orderly and meticulous. It seems that this governor of Liangzhou is indeed well managed.

During the inspection, Jiang Shenzhou also found an interesting thing, although Fugu Samo looked vicious, he did not have the slightest arrogance in front of the soldiers, and he was very friendly to everyone. Because of this, this veteran was much loved in the barracks, and everyone respected him, whether it was a Han or a Hu soldier.

However, how could his temper be so big just now?

That night in the Governor's Mansion, Qin Sheng also asked this question, and Wei Chi Baolin replied like this.

"Alas, speaking of which, his wife passed away just two days ago, and I think he became like this because of the pain of losing his wife, and it will be fine in a few days."

Is that really the case? Jiang Shenzhou always felt that something was wrong.

Of course, Qin Sheng also told him about Yu Chi Sheng, but instead of being a little annoyed, Yu Chi Baolin laughed and praised Qin Sheng for doing the right thing.

Jiang Shenzhou still felt that something was wrong.

Now he has returned to the inn, this inn is the largest and best in Liangzhou City, and all the people of Tiance Mansion live here.

Seeing that the night was dark, Jiang Shenzhou was also ready to sleep. But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He opened the door, but saw no one.

He saw a sheep.

A white goat stood quietly in the doorway.
