"What's the situation?"

Rong Fei, who was late, frowned, pointed to a pile of broken pieces of meat on the ground and asked Gu Fengxiao.

"It's all hard stubble, equipped with more than a dozen hard crossbows, and at first I didn't dare to spare my hands and accidentally killed a few."

Gu Fengxiao explained with some apprehension.

"Crossbow!"

Rong Fei also realized the seriousness of the problem when he heard this, and glanced at the dozen or so men who were firmly trapped by hemp rope on the side.

The two Immortal Hunters were slapping two of the men.

"Someone from the military?"

Rong Fei asked in a low voice.

"My mouth is so hard that I haven't spit out a word until now. The slap didn't work, and a few of my teeth were knocked out, and I didn't say a word, and if I hadn't seen the terrible situation in the dungeon, I would have almost admired them."

Gu Fengxiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Rong catches the head, Feng Li in the stall of the Lower East Factory."

Feng Li, the head of the stall, came to Rong Fei's side and introduced himself respectfully.

Rong Fei also smiled and clenched his fists in return.

"It turned out to be Feng Stalltou, you and your brothers from Dongchang have worked hard tonight."

"If you want to catch the head, it's because we're stained with your light."

Feng Li replied flatteredly, and then lowered his voice.

"Rong Zhutou, brother, I have been in the border army for a few years, in my opinion, this group of guys must be the elite of the north, there is no doubt that they are still private soldiers."

Dayan's military system is the guard system, the father dies and the son succeeds, as long as he enters the military register, the men in the family will be military households for generations. The advantage of this system is that the supply of soldiers is stable, and there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit soldiers. The disadvantage is that the quality of the soldiers cannot be guaranteed, and at the same time, it also gives the various guards the opportunity to eat empty salaries.

For more than 800 years, except for the northern border, where small-scale wars still occur from time to time on the border with the demons, and the guards along the coast of the south and around the 100,000 mountains can still maintain a fairly good combat power, most of the guards are actually like bandits.

Among the several guards that still retain combat power, the border army of the three major passes in the north is the strongest.

The reason why the border army is strong is not because of the military households in the guard, but because the general army stationed in the customs privately recruits local displaced people to form a pro-army, also known as private soldiers and recruits.

Compared with military households, private soldiers are local aborigines and have a stronger willingness to defend their homeland. In addition, various physical fitness assessments are also required at the time of recruitment, and the training in ordinary times is also extremely strict, and the food, military salary, weapons and equipment are also better than those of military households.

More crucially, all the expenses of the private soldiers were paid for by the local commander-in-chief. The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, and the private soldiers are naturally more obedient to the general soldiers.

It is precisely because of such a group of heroes who are brave and brave to fight, like private soldiers who are like arm-and-fingers, that the general soldiers guarding the three major passes can always repel the demons who intend to come to Dayan to plunder.

Although private soldiers are good, they are also a hidden danger for Dayan. It's just because in the eyes of the private soldiers, there are only the general soldiers who pay them salaries and food, but there is no court and emperor.

There was once a civilian official who came back from the inspection of the three major passes, half jokingly and half seriously, saying that if the general soldiers of the three major passes wanted to rebel, they would not even have to think about any high-sounding reasons, and the private soldiers would even be more active than the general soldiers.

If you succeed, you will learn from the dragon's work, if you lose... Hmph, the brave demons are like playing when they cut it, how can those rabble guards in the Central Plains be opponents, it is impossible to lose at all.

So even though Rong Fei had guessed that most of these people were from the military, his heart sank when he heard Feng Li mention the private soldiers of the border army.

When it comes to the three major levels, this thing is really big.

Recently, the city of Kyoto has experienced the rebellion of the Yong Party and the heavy punishment of the Liu Party, and a large number of officials have been arrested almost every day, and the people in the officialdom are panicked, but the riots are limited to civilian forces.

Whether it is party struggle or liquidation, it is just that you sing and I appear, and the government affairs system will not be stagnant because of this, and there is no major threat to the safety of the country and the DPRK.

But the military and the border pass are different, if you don't do it, it will really cause a big riot, and even the border gate mutiny will be taken advantage of by the demons.

So

At the beginning, King Yong rebelled, and Zhu Sheng only dealt with Fan Liren and several other forbidden army commanders, and did not implicate him.

The soldier is the important weapon of the country, and it should not be moved lightly.

"Is there any evidence?"

Rong Fei pulled Feng Li aside and asked in a solemn tone.

"When these guys were about to be captured, they didn't think about running away or fighting for themselves, but smashed their crossbows and threw them into the fire along with their arrows. My brother snatched a few from the fire and found several deliberate wear and tear on the crossbow. Those places are usually branded with numbers, which is the rule in the army.

If these hard crossbows are just imitations, there is no need to bother with them, so there is no doubt that they must be military crossbows. Although the snatched crossbow machine is also seriously burned, it can still be seen that it is definitely a first-class goods, and this level of military crossbow is not equipped by everyone in the border army. Only the bravest and most trusted private soldiers can achieve a fight for everyone.

Looking at the proficiency of these people's offensive and defensive movements and the ferocity on their bodies, only the three major levels can train this kind of soldier."

"Can you guess what level it is?"

Rong Fei raised his eyebrows and asked casually, he didn't expect Feng Li's answer too much.

Who knew that Feng Li actually shrank his head, lowered his voice and said in Rong Fei's ear.

"Rong Zhutou, I'll talk about it casually, and you can just listen to it, but don't say that I said it. I guess it's mostly Xuanhuang Pass."

"Why?"

Rong Fei's heart moved, and he also lowered his voice and asked.

"The wild goose is in Taizhou, which is located in the northwest, where the yellow sand is everywhere, the sun is blazing, and most of the garrison soldiers are dark-skinned. The strong wind is in Jinzhou, the waterways of Jinzhou meet, the sea breeze is raging, and there is always an endless fishy smell on the garrison there. Xuanhuang Pass is close to the snowfield, and it is freezing and snowy for most of the year, so the skin is relatively fair and the hair on the body is thick and dense."

After listening to Feng Li's explanation, Rong Fei looked at the row of bound men. Sure enough, as Feng Li said, there were thick hairs on the backs of his hands and calves, and most of his faces were covered by beards, which looked like hairless gorillas from a distance.

"Taught!"

Rong Fei arched his hand towards Feng Li, and then walked to Gu Fengxiao's side and whispered a few words.

On the other side, Fanzi of Dongchang rescued more than 200 unclothed young women and dozens of corpses from the dungeon. At the same time, more than a dozen carriages with closed carriages were also found in Zhuangzi.

"These women are in trouble with Feng Stall, and they must be well placed."

Rong Fei said to Feng Li.

"Rong Zhutou rest assured, this matter is on me, but if they are wronged a little, I will come to see them."

Soon Feng Li organized the fans to take the rescued women away in a carriage, and after returning to Kyoto City to record the confession, he would notify the women's families to bring back the person or body.

After Feng Li and the others left, Rong Fei's eyes froze, and he ordered in a deep voice.

"Search! A thorough search should not leave any clue unanswered."

Gu Fengxiao and the others scattered, while Rong Fei walked to a man who had not yet been tortured and squatted down.

In the imperial study, Zhu Sheng and Chang Gaoyuan pointed and sketched at the map of the northern territory on the imperial case for more than two hours. It was past midnight at this time, and instead of being tired, the two of them were getting more and more excited.

At that time, the three sworn brothers who had huge differences in status but shared similar interests were always drunk and high-spirited, but they were just expressing their ambitions. I didn't expect that the drunken nonsense of the year would really be put into action one day.

At least, at that time, it was only the down-and-out prince Zhu Sheng who was not welcomed, and the small subordinate Qianhu Chang Gaoyuan, who was from the fifth grade, would never have imagined it.

The grand blueprint in their chests has actually been planned thousands of times, thousands of times, and at this time, the two of them are more reminiscent of the passion of the year, and at the same time, with today's height and experience, they will re-examine this blueprint to see if there are any omissions.

"It's a pity that the second brother is not here, if he checks it, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof."

While excited, Zhu Sheng still felt a little inadequate, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The second child is haunted, it's hard to guess, maybe I've been secretly observing you and me for a long time."

Chang Gaoyuan joked.

"That's right, it's still the eldest brother, you know the second brother's style of acting, hahaha."

Dangdang!

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something important to tell."

There was a knock on the door of the Imperial Study, followed by the voice of Koshin.

"Enter." Chinese Net

Zhu Sheng said loudly, and then saw that Chang Gaoyuan wanted to step aside, so he stretched out his hand to hold him.

"Jia Shen is a henchman trained by the queen mother, and the second brother doesn't need to avoid suspicion."

Jia Shen pushed the door in, walked outside the imperial case, and glanced at Chang Gaoyuan. After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhu Sheng had no intention of driving people, he spoke directly.

"Just now there was news from outside the palace that under the order of Fen Chengbo, Dongchang followed the people of the Immortal Division to rescue more than 200 women in a village outside the city, in addition to dozens of people who were abused to death, and the situation was unspeakable."

After that, Jia Shenyou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chang Gaoyuan.

Syllable!

Zhu Sheng slammed the case and roared angrily.

"These well-dressed beasts are getting more and more excessive. It's not enough to be greedy for the people's fat and people's ointment, but they actually regard the people as playthings to vent ***, thinking that I don't dare to kill people!"

"Your Majesty is angry."

Chang Gaoyuan on the side hurriedly persuaded.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Sheng asked in a calm tone, but there was murderous anger in his eyes.

"Which of my Aiqing did a good thing this time?"

"Your Majesty, judging from the evidence available so far, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the adults in the court."

"Is that a royal family member or a relative?"

"Your Majesty, it's not."

"Oh, that's weird. Who else in Kyoto City has such courage? Is it a monk again?"

Zhu Sheng asked strangely.

"In the process of arrest, there was resistance, and the people in the Zhuangzi were well-trained, causing heavy casualties to the children under the old slave."

"Is there a lot of people in the Zhuangzi?"

"Not much, more than twenty people."

"How many people have gone to the East Factory?"

"One hundred."

"One hundred and twenty, and there are still heavy casualties, could it be that there are really monks in Zhuangzi? Or are the people in the East Factory too wasteful?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhuangzi is equipped with ten crossbows."

Click!

The gold bricks, which were as hard as iron under Chang Gaoyuan's feet, burst into a crack.
