Chapter 277: Promoting Duan Xiushi
Huaihua Lang will Meng Yu to see the name of the person on this order, it is indeed Duan Xiushi, who is under the command of the left brigade and the right team of the sixth regiment under his command of Dashicheng. This person seems to be quite famous in the army, and he is an unborn crossbowman, but even if he is famous, he is only a soldier, how can he compare to the net worth of all the soldiers in Big Rock City. Therefore, Meng Yu's idea at the moment was to quickly send away the holy envoy in front of him and let him get on the road quickly.
He immediately beckoned: "Someone!" ”
A personal soldier came to the hall and took the order.
Meng Yu handed the note to his soldiers and instructed him: "This is an order issued by the Duhu Mansion, to transfer Duan Xiushi out of Dashi City and go to the Qiuzi Jumping Camp, you go and call him here." ”
The soldiers took the order and left.
……
At the station of the Sixth Regiment of Dashicheng, Duan Xiushi stood on the bow and crossbow range with a wine jar, and the crossbow was held up with one hand, and the Wangshan was slightly upward, aiming at the arrow target in the distance.
In front of the target was hung a treasure with red silk thread, swaying slightly in the wind.
He narrowed one eye and aimed at it, and suddenly snapped his finger in response, and the crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, drawing a long arc in the air, and landing accurately into the heart of the target.
"Travel rate, I won, and the money I just bet should belong to me."
The brigade leader who was standing aside with a bow in armor gritted his teeth and twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to the people around him, "Go and check the target." ”
"Whoa!" A soldier was about to run over, but Duan Xiushi stopped him: "Han Shishilang, my crossbow arrows have special markings, don't change them for me to cheat." ”
Han Shishilang's shoulders trembled, he turned his head and glanced at him with a cold expression, and then ran towards the target.
Duan Xiushi didn't care about this, and he couldn't look down on these people who were sloppy and slapping horses. He drank with a jar on one side, his style was independent and proud, and the brigade waited for the other party to stand on the other side, forming a confrontation with him.
Han Shishilang directly brought the arrow target over, trotted in front of them, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "The arrow that the brigade leader just shot hit the bull's eye, but it failed to hit the Tongbao Qian hanging by the ribbon. Duan ......" He glanced at Duan Xiushi with deep resentment, and only then did he reveal the arrow target, and the arrow poked in the middle of the target disk was inlaid with a copper coin.
"See, I won today's competition, fifty dollars per person, take it."
Duan Xiushi stretched out his palm uncomfortably, and Lu Shuo stuffed a string of copper coins into his palm with a gloomy face, and the rest of the people who participated in the competition also took out copper coins and handed them to him.
The team was standing in front of him with a sinister face, raised his finger and said angrily: "Duan Xiushi! Think you're capable! I'm telling you! Even if you have just made a great achievement, you can't escape from the Sixth Regiment of Big Stone City! As long as the brigade rate is still above your head, even if you are promoted to the team leader, you will still be able to take you down in the future! ”
Duan Xiushi had a somewhat sincere smile on his face, and his tone was not salty or light: "Thank you for the team's refuge, you scolded right, but you have to give the money." ”
"Okay, I'll give! Don't regret it! ”
The team was angrily taking out the money from his arms, grabbed a string and threw it on the ground in front of Duan Xiushi. Duan Xiushi raised his foot and kicked it, then kicked it again, kicked the copper coin into the air and stretched out his hand to catch it, and laughed: "Thank you for the team." ”
The team was about to leave in anger, but saw the brigade commander arrive with a personal soldier of the city envoy, and the personal soldier handed him the note in his hand: "The order given to you by the Metropolitan Protectorate, the escort officer asked you to go to the city tower council hall." Nakaro from Qiuzi will personally call you by name. ”
The brigade commander and the team were wide-eyed in shock, they really didn't expect this show to run in real time, and they would directly break away from their Big Rock City and get the favor of the Zhonglang general from Qiuzi. The ups and downs of life really can't be judged by common sense.
Duan Xiushi soon came to the city tower meeting hall and saw Li Siye sitting on the stage, even the guards of their Big Stone City had to stand respectfully below. Unexpectedly, Captain Li, who commanded them inside and outside that day, is now so unattainable, which also verifies his judgment that this Li Siye is indeed not an ordinary person. A lonely and arrogant military scholar like him, who has read thousands of volumes, can't be proud in front of him.
"General Li, the person you want has brought it to you."
Duan Xiushi immediately bowed and crossed his hands and said, "Humble Duan Xiushi, I have seen General Li." ”
Li Siye nodded: "Yes, follow me." ”
Duan Xiushi walked out of the council hall behind him, the dim sunlight shining on the stairs of the city wall, and the two of them were silent one after the other.
He led Duan Xiushi into the private house where everyone from the Eighth Regiment gathered, and there were people he knew well, but he didn't feel too strange. He could also faintly feel that General Li was afraid that he had summoned all the people who had participated in the capture of the city in Talas, which was enough to show that this Li Siye was nostalgic for the old.
It was inconvenient for him to ask in front of the public just now, but now he asked without any scruples: "Where are we going, are we going to Qiuzi?" ”
Li Siye replied: "I won't go to Qiuzi for the time being, Ben Jiang is now the Xuan'en envoy of the imperial court, and he is about to go to the palace of the Khan Court in Broken Leaf City to canonize the Tuqi Shi Khan." ”
Duan Xiushi shook his head, gasped again, and asked Li Siye, "Is it too late for me to go back to the Sixth Regiment now?" ”
"Don't even think about it, the order of the Anxi Protectorate has been issued, so you will follow me honestly and follow me to Qiuzi after this errand."
Duan Xiushi suddenly had a feeling of being forced onto the thief ship, and then saluted with his hands crossed and asked a question he was concerned about: "Dare to ask General Li, how many of us are going in total?" ”
"I brought more than 30 brothers under my command, and there were also 30 or 40 people in the team escorting the bounty property, a total of less than 100 people."
Duan Xiushi crossed his hands and asked again: "Does the general have a way to deal with it?" ”
"There's no way, it's just an edict, and you can just adapt when the time comes."
"Good, for the sake of the present, there is no way to deal with it, is the best way."
A group of people looked at each other and watched the two of them play dumb riddles here, and they always felt very profound.
Li Siye waved his hand and said to everyone: "Rest well tonight, and leave for Dunduo City tomorrow." ”
In the early morning of the next day, the gates of Dashicheng slowly opened to both sides, and Li Siye walked out of the city gate with a Mo knife in his hand, leading his war horse out of the city gate, and behind him were his entire team of more than 30 people. Captain Zhao Congfang happily followed the escort convoy at the end.
The team slowly crossed the Hulu River on the other side of the city, the water was so clear that the bottom of the water was warm and moist, and people could drown their knees when they stepped on the water. From here to the north, there are quite a few such rivers in the steppe.
On the third day, they came to Dundo City, where only one regiment of the Tang Army was stationed, and the three regiments of Dashicheng belonged to the same 34th Zhechong Province. The regimental captain personally went out of the city to greet him, at least much more deferentially than General Mengyu in Dashicheng.
Li Siye repaired in the city, and all the things he didn't need to bring were put in the city, leaving one person to guard it. He could only travel with armor blades and quilts, and a month's worth of compressed biscuits and cured meats, and although he was wise enough to deal with the Trolls, he was also prepared to flee for his life.
They set off again and followed the route of the Tang army's past attacks to Frozen City, He Hunting City and Yezhi City. The escort team was panicked, and the closer they got to Shattered Leaf City, the more panicked the soldiers became. Li Siye was not interested in boosting their morale, he was not going to fight in the first place, he was just announcing the decree and giving rewards, and he was afraid that his psychological quality was too low.
Look at Tian Zhen, knowing that there is a great danger ahead, he should eat wine and drink meat and be not afraid.
In the early morning, the sky is pale blue, the snow-capped mountains surround the waters of Lake Atami, and the forest forms a reflection on the surface of the lake, and the mist rises upwards on the surface of the lake, and the mist condenses in the air and obscures the lake.
Li Siye led the people to replenish the water after drinking horses by the lake, and then continued to advance north, passing through General Perrault City, and finally came to the Broken Leaf City.
