Chapter 390: Old Acquaintances
Dingliao, Fengcheng.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Yi Xiaodao and Bai Xinglong were walking in Fengcheng, and they were confronted by a group of soldiers, roaring and driving away the pedestrians on the road. The people all avoided it, for fear that if they were slow to hide, they would provoke an unwarranted disaster.
"What are the waves?" Yi Xiaodao asked.
Bai Xinglong replied, "This is the seventh wave. ”
"Although Fengcheng is the capital of Dingliao, there are not so many soldiers in the city!" Yi Xiaodao was quite puzzled.
An old man passed in front of Yi Xiaodao, sighing incessantly.
Yi Xiaodao grabbed the old man: "Uncle, we are from Donglu, how can this Fengcheng be in chaos?" It's a fight with all of us, what's going on? ”
The old man looked at Yi Xiaodao and the others, and persuaded: "Young man, hurry back to Donglu." This Dingliao is not very peaceful! Alas, if it weren't for the old woman at home, I would have left long ago, old man! I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen so many soldiers in Fengcheng..."
"Huh? Really? Yi Xiaodao pretended to be surprised and said, "Then when did these soldiers come?" ”
The old man raised his hand and said indignantly: "Just last month, it was said that the soldiers outside the customs were all transferred back. At that time, I thought it was just a defense, but Lao Li Tou was happy and said that his son was coming back! But who knows, the soldiers are transferred back, but they won't leave! And the ones who were transferred back are not our soldiers in Fengcheng! ”
"Not a soldier from Fengcheng? Where is that? This was beyond Yi Xiaodao's expectations.
The old man sighed and said, "Alas, who knows? It's true that he was wearing the armor of our Dingliao soldiers, but that person didn't know anyone..."After the old man finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Yi Xiaodao anymore and left directly.
Bai Xinglong approached Yi Xiaodao: "Brother Yi, what's going on?" The two of them have been getting along for a few days, and they have also become acquainted, and Bai Xinglong finally changed the title of "Wuding Gong" and directly evoked "Brother Yi".
Yi Xiaodao shook his head lightly: "I don't know, if these people are really not Fengcheng's soldiers, then I now suspect that they are not even Dingliao's soldiers!" ”
"Beiyi people?" Bai Xinglong tensed his nerves.
"It's not certain yet." Yi Xiaodao said: "These people can be regarded as living at the border for a long time. Whether it's the Beiyi people or the Dingliao people, they won't know. Let's see. ”
Yi Xiaodao and Bai Xinglong continued to move forward, avoiding the aisle of the officers and soldiers on the one hand, and leaning in the direction of the officers and soldiers on the other hand, wanting to find out.
Suddenly, when Yi Xiaodao was avoiding another group of officers and soldiers, he accidentally glanced at it and saw an old acquaintance.
"Why is he here?" Yi Xiaodao looked at the man in surprise, and when the man's gaze swept over, he hurriedly lowered his head, afraid of being seen by him.
Bai Xinglong followed Yi Xiaodao's gaze, and saw a general riding a tall horse, leading the soldiers to swagger through the market, which was not unusual. If you insist on saying that there is something wrong, it is that there is a yin owl air between this person's eyebrows, unlike other battlefield generals, arrogant and rugged.
"Brother Yi, do you know this person?" Bai Xinglong asked curiously.
Yi Xiaodao kept his mouth shut and didn't answer until this person left, Yi Xiaodao raised his head and looked at the back of this person, and said: "It's not just acquaintance, it's just a narrow road!" Do you know about the flood in Wancheng? ”
Bai Xinglong nodded: "The flood in Wancheng three years ago is known to everyone!" At that time, there were even people in Anhui City who fled to my Taiyi Peak! What does it have to do with this person? ”
"This person is the Kong Leopard general who took advantage of the flood in Anhui City at that time and was ordered to lead troops to Anhui City and kill the people of Anhui City, Xu Mo!" Yi Xiaodao has a good memory, even if he has only met Xu Mo a few times in a hurry, he has a firm memory of his face.
Bai Xinglong was a little dazed, and he didn't understand what it meant.
"At the beginning, Xu Mo followed Kong Bao to lead troops to kill the people in Anhui City, and His Majesty sent people to capture them. Kong Leopard exterminated the three clans, and Xu Mo was sent to the frontier because he reported Kong Leopard and was temporarily exempted from death. If I'm not mistaken, Xu Mo should have been sent to Anxi! Yi Xiaodao had some impressions of this Xu Mo.
"Anthy? But this is Dingliao! Bai Xinglong was taken aback.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "He was assigned to the frontier, and it stands to reason that he can only be an unknown pawn from Anxi for the rest of his life, but now he is also mixed with the position of a general, still in Dingliao..."
The most important thing in the Great Apocalypse Law is to destroy the three clans, followed by the beheading of one person, and the third is to distribute the frontier. Because of the responsibility of guarding the territory, there is a perennial shortage of soldiers in the frontier, and these prisoners who are assigned to the frontier are one of the important sources of replenishment of soldiers on the border.
And the distribution of the frontier also means that the crime of beheading is passed by, and it can be regarded as picking up a life, and most people are reforming their minds and dare not take another step beyond the thunder pool. Otherwise, some of the border troops have a way to govern them.
"It is said that the three kings in the north are in the same spirit, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. I didn't expect to be able to do this. "Taiyi Peak is located near the Qinling Mountains, close to the northern frontier, Rao is Bai Xinglong didn't know that the relationship between the three kings in the north was so close, and the prisoners assigned by the imperial court could also communicate with each other.
"Brother Yi, should we avoid it?" Bai Xinglong has also heard about Yi Xiaodao's past, the flood in Anhui City, Yi Xiaodao has some reporting skills for Li Changwen and Li Taishi's bureaucracy, and this Xu Mo is not a mortal enemy, but it is more or less an opponent.
Xu Mo is so beautiful now, if he meets Yi Xiaodao, how can he give up?
Yi Xiaodao thought about it for a while and said: "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" Afraid of what? Unafraid! After speaking, he walked in the direction of Xu Mo.
Bai Xinglong was uneasy in his heart, but he still kept up with Yi Xiaodao.
Outside the Dingliao Palace, soldiers and horses patrolled back and forth, swords and guns were shining, and ordinary people did not dare to approach here for half a step.
Yi Xiaodao carried his hands behind his back, Bai Xinglong pressed the sword, and the two of them slowly approached the Dingliao Palace, and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers.
"Stop, this place is the Dingliao Palace, and idle people are not allowed to walk around!" A patrol group of soldiers and horses trotted over and stopped Yi Xiaodao and Bai Xinglong with guns.
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the uncle!" Yi Xiaodao changed his previous kindness, his eyes widened, and he scolded.
The soldiers led by Yi Xiaodao were snorted, and thought they had heard it wrong: "Hey, I see that you are an old birthday star hanged, and you are tired and crooked, right?" To go or not to go? The tips of the guns of more than ten soldiers were immediately aimed at the two of them, and this small commotion soon attracted the attention of more soldiers, and they rushed to this side.
"You don't understand, do you? Get lost! Yi Xiaodao's word "roll" had just come out, and his feet were not idle, and he kicked on the chest of the leading soldier, and the force was so great that even several soldiers behind him were kicked to the ground.
"Kill!" The surrounding soldiers didn't need to be ordered, everyone raised their guns and danced knives, and beckoned to Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao took a few steps back and flashed to Bai Xinglong's back, looking at his appearance, he didn't plan to make a move, and handed it over to Bai Xinglong to deal with.
Bai Xinglong scolded secretly in his heart, but the sword and gun had already arrived in front of him, so he had to draw his sword to resist. Although he had already used force, Bai Xinglong didn't dare to really hurt people's lives, and most of them were mainly parryed, and he was forced to retreat again and again by a group of soldiers.
"What's wrong?" Yi Xiaodao heard the shouting behind him and knew that Xu Mo was coming, so he didn't turn around, but only turned his back to him.
"General Xu, this Diao people don't know where they came from, so they insist on breaking into the front of the palace. The little one was about to ask, but he hurt people first! The little boss who was kicked down by Yi Xiaodao hurriedly got up and made a small report first.
Xu Mo looked at Yi Xiaodao, because it was the back, he couldn't see Yi Xiaodao's face at all, and shouted: "This is the forbidden land of the palace, not a place where ordinary people stay, go!" ”
Bai Xinglong looked back at Yi Xiaodao, Yi Xiaodao glanced at him, Bai Xinglong understood, and replied stubbornly: "What if we don't?" ”
Xu Mo was also taken aback, and was about to get angry, but then quickly calmed down, how could ordinary people have such courage? It doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
"I wonder what the two of you are about? If it is urgent, you can also inform Xu, and Xu may be able to help you with a few things. Xu Mo changed his tough tone just now and softened it slightly.
"It's nothing, just a casual stroll!" Bai Xinglong is happy, it turns out that these officials are just paper tigers. As long as he is tougher than him, he will immediately succumb. As everyone knows, this is because the great god Yi Xiaodao is here, so that he has no fear, ordinary people, how can they have the confidence to talk to the general like this?
Xu Mo clenched the spear in his hand: "If the two of you don't want to tell each other, Xu can't let the two of you go." "I don't know if it's because of the incident in Wancheng, or after the polishing of the frontier, the current Xu Mo has converged a lot of flying and domineering edges.
When Yi Xiaodao heard Xu Mo's words, he knew that he could no longer provoke him, so he turned around calmly: "General Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
When Xu Mo heard "long time no see", he thought it was his old friend, and when he saw Yi Xiaodao's appearance, he "boomed" in his mind, and he was stunned in place, stunned.
"Looking at General Xu like this, don't you want to see my father?" Yi Xiaodao said with a smile.
Xu Mo came to his senses and hurriedly dismounted: "Xu Mo has seen Wu Dinggong. ”
As soon as Xu Mo said a word, the rest of the soldiers were shocked, this is the world-famous Wuding Gong in recent years? The rest of the soldiers hurriedly bent down to salute. This is still because he is wearing armor, otherwise, if he encounters a grandfather who is only one level lower than the prince, he should kneel and kowtow.
"I heard that General Xu was transferred to Anxi by the imperial court, when did he come to Dingliao?" People have courtesy, and Yi Xiaodao is no longer aggressive, so he changed "distribution to the frontier" to "transferred to Anxi". It's just that why Xu Mo appeared in Dingliao, he must figure it out.
Xu Mo thought that he had already had a draft, and hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, the Beiyi people attacked Dingliao, and the last general was also ordered by the king of Anxi to come to Dingliao with the army to assist in the defense. ”
"How can this be? The Beiyi people attacked Dingliao in a big way, which is indeed not trivial. That... Where are the soldiers and horses in Dingliao? ”
Xu Mo froze again, he didn't know how to answer.
