Chapter 5 Near the City
(It's really sick...... Half of his face is swollen, he has a low-grade fever, and he is groggy and groggy, this chapter is a transitional chapter, naturally, there is also foreshadowing in the transition...... I'm just worried that I'll forget what I buried in the future, hehe. )............ Dongshan Road is one of the seven roads of Qingguo, biased to the northeast, from the Kunshan to the north, you will plunge into the small princes and small countries that Dongyi City secretly influenced, through those cities, you will enter the border of the Northern Qi. Last year, Fan Xian went to Northern Qi and took a different road, bypassing Cangzhou in the north and entering through Beihai, so he didn't come to Cili.
Of course, he won't head north today, and there is nothing to attract him on the Northern Qi side for the time being.
Sitting on the horse, looking at the map in his hand, Fan Xian couldn't help frowning, pointed to the corner of the map and said, "It turns out that Jiaozhou is still below Lanzhou...... There's a big blank space up there, what's the place?"
Beside him, was the deputy commander surnamed Jing of the black horse, today this Jing general still wore the silver mask on his face, listening to the boss's words, and said in a deep voice: "The north of Shanzhou is a large area of mountains and dense forests, and few people dare to enter, so when the map is drawn, it is just a blank, and in the north of this big blank, it is Dongyi City facing the bay. ”
Fan Xian sighed, thinking that he would one day go to see it, but today he learned that Dongyi City, the largest city in the world, was not far away from the city where he spent his childhood, but Fan Xian was very familiar with the mountains and mountains in the north of the city, and knew that if he wanted to find a road from those places, it was basically impossible. And the geographical environment of this section is also very special, the coast is hundreds of miles of cliffs, even the birds are dangerous.
If the people of Dongyi City want to go to Nanqing, they can only go around from the west side of the mountain...... Or by the sea through guò.
Thinking that Dongyi City's sea navigation ability is extremely strong, Fan Xian's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of worry, although the navy in this world has no way to affect the general trend, but the ability to sāo disturb is still there, if Dongyi City ...... Forcibly landed in Shanzhou?
At this time, Fan Xian finally understood why His Majesty valued this matter and asked him to do it himself. I also understand why after the first water division in Quanzhou was abolished, the imperial court has always insisted on raising such a water division in the remote Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou is in the south of Shanzhou, and there are strong sailors stationed here, naturally to deter the power of Dongyi City on the sea.
The corners of Fan Xian's lips couldn't help but sneer, now he naturally knew that the Quanzhou sailor back then, from a certain point of view, if it was his mother's private army, the court would do things, and it would really be watertight.
"Old Jing ...... Why don't you take off your mask?" he smiled and looked at the black cavalry general beside him, trying to soften his tone and not reveal the chill in his heart.
According to Chen Pingping's strict order, the four hundred black horsemen on this road, since Fan Xian's envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty, have become his subordinates, and the four hundred black-clothed, black-clothed, black-faced cavalry actually helped Fan Xian a lot, such as the rescue of Sean by the Shangshan Tiger, such as the encirclement and suppression of the Junshan Society in the south of the Yangtze River.
And the biggest benefits that this black ride has brought to Fan Xian are not only these. Fan Xian has not been able to extend his hand to the army due to various reasons, and the black horseman's cunzài, if it is his most powerful force, can increase his strength and law, and can also give him a little more confidence when negotiating with others.
In the absence of military power, it is comforting to have black horsemen under him.
It's just that Fan Xian is not very close to his subordinates along the way, because ...... The black rider can't enter the state, or even get close to the state, and Fan Xian is a person who is greedy for pleasure, so he naturally doesn't want to live in the barracks, so there is not much time for dialogue between the superiors and subordinates, and this strangeness can't be eliminated in a short period of time.
Fan Xian understood that if he really wanted to do something in the future, he must master the greatest force under his command, and he could not rely on Chen Pingping to control it, but only on himself, so that these more than 400 cavalrymen would follow him with all his heart and subdue the other party from the depths of his heart...... So after meeting the black cavalry from the three forks, he has been trying to subdue Wang Qinian and Deng Ziyue by using the method of subduing Wang Qinian and Deng Ziyue, and subduing the strange deputy commander of the black cavalry who has been wearing a silver mask.
Fan Xian smiled gently, frankly, chatting, and talking about the short gossip of the parents, weaving a warm and open atmosphere, and of course, he would not forget to reveal the calmness and confidence that a person in a superior position should have.
It's just that the deputy commander surnamed Jing is still so indifferent, and he is not moved at all, and replied directly: "Get used to it." ”
That's why Fan Xian was a little annoyed, and suddenly smiled and said, "There are no more than two kinds of people wearing masks. ”
Riding on a horse, the body of Jing Commander, who was following him, did not react, but Fan Xian found that the other party's hand holding the reins tightened slightly, and it seemed that the other party was more interested in this topic.
Probably curious, what the famous little Fan would say about that mask.
Fan Xian said: "Either the face under the mask is too ugly, or it has been seriously injured and unbearable." Or ...... This face is too handsome, handsome like a girl......"
Of course, I'm not sarcastic about myself in this statement. ”
"The black rider is going into battle to kill the enemy, and the more hideous the face, the easier it is to intimidate the enemy, so that the former reason is no longer there. Fan Xian smiled and looked at the silver mask that shimmered with a glimmer, and said, "It seems that Jing Jiang must be a rare beautiful man." ”
Commander Jing was really stunned, and after a moment, he said, "Lord Tisi is really ...... Yes. ”
Fan Xian smiled, thinking that he had heard a lot of stories about King Lanling and Di Qing, and it was still okay to be blinded casually.
However, the Jing Commander still didn't take off his mask, which made Fan Xian wonder if he had guessed correctly.
"I haven't known your name yet. Fan Xian didn't bother to do this kind of political work anymore, and asked lightly.
Commander Jing's eyes were solemn, he held the reins of his horse, and said: "The subordinate is surnamed Jing, nameless." ”
"Jing Wuming?" How could Fan Xian not know the name of the strongest force commander under his command, he just deliberately pretended to be stunned, remembering the strange association he had when he first knew the name of this person last year.
"If you were Jing Wufang, wouldn't I become the father of the Shangguan Demon Girl?"
............ Hundreds of horsemen lined up in a slender column, silent in the quiet valley to the northeast, and scouts were released at a certain distance on all sides, and their whereabouts should not be revealed.
Fan Xian and Jing Jiang were in the middle of the two horses, and they were slowly walking through the valley, Fan Xian was laughing again at this time because of the association back then, Jing Jiang glanced at him with some curiosity, and then said: "The subordinate is surnamed Jing, no name, not nameless." ”
Five big men with no name? Black Cavalry generals without names?
Fan Xian opened his lips slightly, and couldn't help sighing, thinking that it was no wonder that the world was afraid of the Supervision Yuan like a demon, under the influence of Chen Pingping's old lameness, the structure of the entire Supervision Yuan and the officials' acting style and life experience were all strange.
He knew that this general would not deceive himself, and said softly, "It's better to have a name." ”
Jing Jiang was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Please give me a name." ”
Giving a name, for the person who gave the name, this is a very high honor, Fan Xian was surprised, and couldn't believe his ears, but looking back at this general, he looked at the general with a sincere look in his eyes, knowing that the other party was not joking.
He slowly lowered his head and thought seriously for a long time before smiling and saying, "A single name is a Ge, and the word stops martial arts, how about it?"
General Jing was also a hero in the army back then, only because he offended the powerful, he was fished out by Chen Pingping and put in the black horse, and there was also a figure with some ink in his chest, as soon as he heard this name, he immediately understood what Fan Tisi meant, was extremely satisfied, and nodded with a smile.
The corners of the lips under the silver mask are beautifully curved.
As a result, he was sentenced to death when he picked his boss in the army, and then disappeared magically, and he has been nameless and nameless, covering his face with a silver mask...... After cutting off the first half of his life, he finally had his own name and started another part of his life.
"Jing Ge. In the sound of the horse's hooves, Fan Xian smiled and said, "Who did you offend back then?"
............ Jing Ge didn't know if he hadn't gotten used to his new name, or if he hadn't spoken for a long time because he was shocked by Lord Tisi's acumen.
After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "Qin family." ”
Fan Xian gasped, what kind of power does the Qin family have in the army, he is naturally clear, Lao Qin has always dominated the position of the Privy Council, and Xiao Qin has now become a garrison in Kyoto, and even his father-in-law is afraid of the Qin family when he is in the court, so he is a subordinate...... He actually offended the Qin family back then!
As soon as he thought of this, Fan Xian couldn't help but have the greatest admiration and shock for Chen Pingping, that old cripple was really bold enough to dare to use the enemies of the Qin family, and he had been using it for so many years, and he also let Jing Ge go to the position of deputy commander of the black cavalry.
"I ...... He has a good relationship with the Qin family. He said something tentatively, thinking that as long as Jing Ge was willing to ask him for help, he could try to make up for the grudge he had when he returned to Beijing.
Jing Ge laughed, his lips exposed beyond the silver mask and smiled extremely happily.
"Thank you, sir. Jing Ge said this very sincerely, "No need." ”
Fan Xian squinted at him slightly, as if he wanted to see what this silent and tough subordinate was thinking, and after a long time, he asked, "You and the Qin family...... What's the enmity?"
Jing Ge was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "In the camp, I killed the eldest son of the Qin family. ”
Qin Heng's elder brother, Fan Xian's face remained unchanged, but his heart became cold, if the person who was killed by Jing Ge had survived until now...... I'm afraid that he is already one of the best generals in the DPRK, so he is so hateful...... What did Chen Pingping think? Why did she take in a time bomb in the Supervision Yuan?
There were a few bird calls ahead.
The black horseman, who was moving forward in silence, stopped in great order, not a man, but a horse...... This kind of horse-riding technique is really one of the best in the world, and I am afraid that only Xihu's royal tent army has this ability.
Twilight is approaching.
Fan Xian and Jing Ge galloped forward, through the valley, on the mountainside, condescendingly overlooking the city below the mountain.
The city is not big, and there are already lights and stars inside.
This is Jiaozhou.
And to the right, a sea was turning blue into darkness in the dim sky, and a heavily guarded dock and dozens of warships could be faintly visible, as well as those conspicuous camps.
That is the Jiaozhou Water Division.
"Do it at will, and those who dare to enter the city will be killed. ”
Fan Xian had already put Jing Ge's question behind him, indifferently and directly issued an order, pulled the reins of his horse, broke away from the large army of black horses, and rode alone on the narrow mountain road without any escort, heading towards Jiaozhou City at the foot of the mountain.
