Section 358 Secret Agent
At night, there was no darkness in Caixian County, but lanterns were hung in front of every house, so that the neighborhoods everywhere were bright, and it did not affect the action at all, but compared with the time when the sun did not set, there were more strong men with knives and sticks on the street, walking on the street in pairs of threes and twos, vigilantly looking at the pedestrians on the street. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hehe! There is no curfew in Cai County this night. Son, two more streets ahead, it is the most fun place here, eat, drink and have fun, you can find anything. Especially on this top, there is roast sheep from the grassland in the north, and it also uses the unique spices of the South Seas, and the taste is indeed good. Qingling jade liquid is a specialty of our Anzhou, and it can also be drunk here in Cai County. And the price is very cheap, which is not available anywhere else. In addition, there are old wines from Shanbei and Jiangbei, on the ground of Anzhou, as well as from Jingshi, and even rich and noble people from eastern and southern Shaanxi come to live here. If the prince feels lonely at night, it has something to do with the small secrets. Although it is strictly forbidden here, we can also find beautiful sisters from the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Jin Liu smiled and whispered. This guy is indeed a qualified guide, knows everything, and knows people everywhere. Only such a local snake will be clear about what is happening in every corner of Cai County, and will not miss it at all.
Looking at the past from afar, the street in front of me is brightly lit, laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboo, which can already be heard here. Tian Yu and Mr. Steward and others also knew about it along the way. This Jin Liu is seizing every opportunity to match, thinking about whether he can make some benefits in it. However, after watching the previous scene of the blackboard quotation in the house, Tian Yu was no longer interested in continuing to watch, but said lightly there: "It's getting late, don't use anything else." It's better to take us to the Ping'an Inn. ”
The business was not done, and Jin Liu was not angry, and led everyone out of this lively area with a smile. When passing by an intersection, you can see a vacant lot in front of you, but on the other side of the vacant lot is a tall house, which looks like a warehouse, and it is dark at night, with only a few lights, giving people an eerie feeling. According to Jin Liu, that is where the timber market under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cai County Shipyard is located. It is the key control area of the Xuanhuo Army, and there is a curfew every night, and the lights are strictly prohibited, and no one is allowed to approach.
The light was bright and there were many people coming and going. Everyone has a busy day, and at this time they all come out to relax and relax. Tian Yu's subordinates looked around excitedly, and even the well-informed steward was very curious. Only Tian Yu was alone with a gloomy face, walking forward with a sullen head. That Jin Liu's mouth never stopped, talking endlessly, and Tian Yu didn't have the heart to listen.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a rhythmic sound. The voice is muffled and neat, as if it can shake the heart. Tian Yu suddenly felt nervous for no reason, so he raised his head suddenly. He found that several experienced guards around him also reacted in the same way, all of them with solemn expressions on their faces, and some of them subconsciously reached out to touch their sabers. But looking at Jin Liu, who was leading the way, and then looking at the passers-by who couldn't help but laugh on the road, Tian Yu felt strange again, and asked in a muffled voice, "What kind of sound is this?"
"What sound?"
Jin Liu was a little surprised, and subconsciously asked rhetorically. The voice from a distance was still rhythmically ringing, even a little louder, Tian Yu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the sound source, and said solemnly: "This is it!"
When he said this, the guards around Tian Yu scattered a little, and they each protected Tian Yu and Mr. Steward. Some people have touched the hilt of the sword, and they are ready to quickly get on their horses and fight. Jin Liu, who has always been smart, was a little stunned at this time, and he didn't understand what Tian Yu and the others wanted to do, so he blinked and was confused. I turned my head to look around and found that the pedestrians around me were still walking their own ways, talking and laughing. Tian Yu was anxious and was about to say more, when the golden six hands suddenly slapped and suddenly laughed.
He laughed, shook his head and said, "The little one knows what it is, the little one knows what it is." Son, if you want to take a look, just follow the little one over and take a few quick steps. Don't worry, there's nothing dangerous. This kind of thing, my lord, you can only see it in the Anzhou territory. You can't see it anywhere else. It's no wonder you're all wrong. Hahahaha! ”
Seeing this Jin Liu's appearance, Tian Yu probably knew that he was wrong. The reason why I am surprised may be that what the other party thinks is commonplace is a completely different thing in my own mind. But Tian Yu couldn't help but be curious, so he led the horse and followed Jin Liu out of the street.
This side has been out of the inner circle of Cai County, although there are lights outside, but you can see the open space where the cars and horses are parked and the freight yard where the heavy bags of goods are placed, the road in the outer outer circle is exceptionally wide and smooth, and three big cars can be side by side, and the rhythmic muffled sound is getting closer and closer.
Without Jin Liu's guidance, Tian Yu and his party had already seen the source of the sound.
It turned out to be the sound of footsteps.
It was the sound of footsteps as a group of people walked in unison.
Because it's so uniform, it sounds like a muffled sound.
A column of 100 people, all of whom were young men, dressed in the same coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes with thick leather soles, each wearing leggings, carrying a spear on his shoulder, and a short sword at his waist, walked forward, and the first person held a weapon slightly shorter than a spear, like a Xuanhua axe, with a helmet, and the armor on his body was not like chain mail or common leather armor or cotton armor, but like a thick and smooth iron bucket buckled on his body. There were about ten armor-worn men in the ranks, and the armor was the same, but the weapons in their hands were spears.
The group just walked over, and you could hear the leader shouting, ". . . One, two, one. One, two, one. ”
Different from the Anzhou Yaoxian group training I saw yesterday, in the team that came over this time, although the members of the group training were about the same age, or even a little younger, they were not so tense faces, under the light of the lights, everyone had a tired look on their faces, maybe a little bored, they just walked over, they didn't deliberately walk very neatly, but the long-term training and strict discipline made them do it naturally, every day, every day, they have long been used to it.
The chatter and laughter of the passers-by nearby couldn't help but lower their voices, many people who don't come often or have just arrived here are curious to see the freshness, but everyone in this team doesn't squint, they don't bother to pay attention to things outside the team, such a temperament shouldn't appear in such a young person.
When he just saw this team, Tian Yu couldn't help but hold his breath, the whole person stood there, and several family members around him were also quiet, only one person couldn't help but whisper, looking at the team forward, Tian Yu only felt as if there was a mountain of giant things slowly crushing towards him, subconsciously his legs were weak, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, staggered, and sat directly towards the back.
Momentum, real momentum. It was the first time Tian Yu had seen such a strong soldier. Although Tian Yu knew that this was an Anzhou regimental training, not a regular soldier of the Xuanhuo Army, he was still shocked by this neat and serious, as thick as a huge mountain range and a stretching forest. If such an army is released, it must be a first-class elite.
After the team of more than 100 people passed, the surroundings became lively again, and everyone returned to normal. That Jin Liu turned his head with a grin, and when he saw Tian Yu almost sitting on the ground, he was immediately stunned. The gentleman in charge standing next to him had a normal face, but just waved his hand and explained: "My son-in-law accidentally tripped up, it's okay." ”
Tian Yu took a deep breath, slowly got up and stood still, stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, just a moment, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his vest was also soaked with sweat.
"Could it be that this is the family under the command of Duke Yiyong?"
Tian Yu asked, his tone sounded unfluctuating, but those who were familiar with his temperament could hear a trace of trepidation.
It's horrible. It's horrible. This is just a group of soldiers, and it's not a regular Xuanhuo army!
Of course, the reason why Tian Yu asked if it was a family member was also according to the usual practice in the army of Chu State. The general's family members are different from ordinary soldiers. The treatment of the family is also much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Especially on the battlefield, it is the family members who charge into battle, and the soldiers can only fight with the family behind the buttocks. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can't count on it. If you want to win the battle, you can rely on your family.
The smile on Jin Liu's face was slightly restricted. He stared at Tian Yu for a moment, reverted to his original smiling appearance, nodded and replied, "That's right, this is the family under the command of Grandpa Yiyong." Every day, several teams patrol all over our Cai County, and they only return to the camp after dark. ”
Jin Liu did not directly state that this is ordinary training. He had some vague thoughts, but he wasn't sure for the time being.
Tian Yu looked at the back of the team of people who were far away, and was silent for a while, but said with a forced smile: "This Duke Yiyong is interesting, he takes out the most valuable family fund in his hand every day and shakes it. This is just like when the sun is good, the rich and noble people have to dry the fur at the bottom of the box, and let outsiders know his wealth. ”
This kind of thing is actually a custom in the north. When the weather is good, the rich people take out their valuable leather clothes and furs to dry. Sometimes it's insect and mildew prevention, but there are also people who take this opportunity to show off their wealth. After all, fur fur is valuable and worth a lot of money. There are a lot of ridicules in the notes and articles of the people, saying that when the weather is good, the front of the Zhumen is colorful, and the valuable fur brocade and the like are dazzling, not for drying, but for showing off the furniture and selling off the net worth.
Tian Yu said something funny here, and the steward and a few family guards listened to it and laughed. However, Jin Liu is a southerner, so he naturally doesn't know the meaning of the allusion Tian Yu said, and he was a little confused for a while, and he didn't understand what everyone was laughing at. After laughing, the leader of the guard's guard changed his hand to hold the reins, and sighed with a smile: "Such a strong soldier, even if there can be more than 100 people, it is amazing." As far as the team of soldiers just now, if they are put in Youzhou in the north, they can be soldiers. Grandpa Yiyong has such a strong team of soldiers in his hands, plus those Yaoxian regimental exercises we saw on the road, it is really more than 2,000 tigers and wolves!"
On the side, another family member said: "Who says it's not! This Yiyong grandfather has the strongest team in his hand to swagger here every day, in fact, he has a reason." The green forest friends of the three mountains and five mountains, together with the officials and soldiers of Suizhou, must have shrunk when they saw such a group of strong soldiers, who would ****** dare to come over and make trouble? If they don't even have the strength to do this, then they are really messing around in vain. ”
"In this way, such a rich place depends on this elite deterrent to protect it. Otherwise, Cai County would have been in trouble for a long time. The steward also nodded repeatedly.
Everyone was talking here, but the guide Jin Liu, who was standing on the side, was stunned. Hearing this, he really couldn't help but interject and said, "Prince, everyone, you said that the team of people who passed just now is the best family in the hands of Grandpa Yiyong?"
The guide didn't know the rules and interjected rashly, which made Tian Yu quite dissatisfied, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Isn't it?"
Jin Liu's face was full of natural expressions: "Of course not." This is actually the most ordinary camp head. Compared with team training, it is a little stronger. But in our Anzhou, in fact, there are no more than you can count. ”
Jin Liuzhi argued. Most natives in their hometowns, when they talk about the affairs of their hometown, they are not allowed to be derogated by outsiders, even if it is not their own property, they have to argue and argue. It's all about face. What's more, Duke Yang Tianhong of Yiyong has really brought great benefits to Anzhou, and everyone is proud of it.
Hearing Jin Liu's words, Tian Yu and Mr. Steward were stunned for a moment. There was also a guard next to him, but he couldn't help but ask: "No! You just said that those people are family members, how can they be counted? Although we are foreigners, we have also heard about this soldier's affairs!"
Jin Liu shook his head again and again, and continued to argue: "Jiading, in fact, is the name of the scene. To be precise, those people just now are not actually soldiers. They are all veterans of the Xuanhuo Army, or the children of officials of Anzhou. In addition to controlling the Xuanhuo Army, Grandpa Yiyong's subordinates also have thousands of people, all of whom are called family members. These people were all cultivated by the grandfather since childhood according to the methods in the army. Not only do you practice every day, but you also have to learn various battle formation methods in the school on weekdays. These people are strong, but they are not regular sergeants. What happened just now was just ordinary daily training. The sergeants on Caixian's side all belong to the Xuanhuo Army. Oh, a few guest officers, have you seen the night patrol policemen on the street over there? That's the real manager of our Cai County! They are all a team of 100 people, and their whole body is iron. Even so, it is still not as good as the Xuanhuo Army under the command of Grandpa Yiyong. Those people are all killing gods, and they are all good iron armor made by Anzhou all over their bodies, and they line up to walk out of that majesty, and the armor on their bodies collides like a drum!"
There was silence again.
Tian Yu looked at Mr. Steward, and then at his own family guards standing beside him, but he didn't say anything. After Jin Liu said this, his face was full of pride, as if the Xuanhuo Army under Yang Tianhong was so majestic, and he was also as glorious as him. But Tian Yu and the others were silent for too long, and Jin Liu couldn't help coughing a few times as a reminder.
When Tian Yu spoke again, his voice was a little difficult, and his voice was slow: "Are you saying that the team that passed just now was just an ordinary person under Duke Yiyong, and they weren't even a regular sergeant?
"That's nature!"
Each person's position and perspective on things are different, and Jin Liu certainly can't feel Tian Yu's complicated emotions at this time. He only said with a smile there: "It's not wrong if the young man doesn't believe it, the little one has such empty mouths and white teeth, and there is no evidence, but if the young man stays here for a long time, he can watch it day and night, if the little one has a lie, tonight's remuneration will not be paid, and it will be posted upside down to you." ”
This made the steward smile, he pointed to Jin Liu and said: "The small account is indispensable to you, don't pretend to remind you there, lead the way first, and lead us to the Ping'an Inn!"
Over there, Jin Liu happily agreed, the steward waved his hand, and the family members continued to move forward. But Tian Yu still stood there and didn't move. Mr. Steward took two steps forward, turned around again, pulled Tian Yu's sleeve hard, and said in a low voice, "Childe, go to the inn to stay first." If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it in the evening. ”
After dragging Tian Yu for a while, he didn't move, and then he pulled hard, and Tian Yu suddenly reacted. Mr. Steward stared at Tian Yu and said solemnly: "Childe, this is Anzhou, it's not as good as our home in the north, you have to be careful in everything!"
Tian Yu was shaken, shook his head, and didn't speak, just led the horse and followed everyone with a blank expression.
His heart was bitter.
After reading books for so many years, I originally thought that I would be able to be admitted to the Jinshi, serve the country, and make the family bigger. Tian Yu is not the kind of pedantic reader, and naturally knows that the court of the Chu State has long been rotten. Tian Yu originally thought that he would be able to get the official position as soon as possible, so that he could show his skills and benefit the people. But after coming to Anzhou, I suddenly found that everything was completely different from what I imagined. For the Duke Yang Tianhong, who has never met, he has only heard that one of them is a military general. It is said that it is noble and martial, and Tian Yu also takes it for granted that Yang Tianhong is vulgar and unbearable. But now it seems that whether it is Yao County or Cai County, the people are rich and the army is strong, which has long exceeded their own cognition.
This is just Cai County, not the capital city of Anzhou. Here, you can see such a strong local team training. So what about the Xuanhuo Army under the command of Duke Yang Tianhong, Duke of Yiyong? )
