Chapter 185: The so-called elite

The effective distance of the bow in Liang Xiao's hand was more than one hundred and twenty steps, and it was already the best bow in the army.

The elite of Beihu is also equipped with this kind of bow and arrow.

But as a general, this kind of bow and arrow is embarrassing.

Liang Xiao thought of Gongsun Yue again.

This girl is also from the Sword Clan, so she can try to make a deal with her.

Liang Xiao knew that the reason why she brought her a sense of déjà vu to her heartache was not because the two knew each other at a young age.

However, Liang Xiao is still most concerned about the Guanlong nobles now.

After the exchange meeting, they still stayed in the capital, did not come to find themselves, they sent someone to make an appointment, and wanted to visit in person, but the other party closed the door to thank the guests, only saying, "I will definitely visit the door one day, not the marquis of Laolanling."

When these people represent the saints of each family, they do not do anything to transgress the courtesy.

Considering that the nobles of Guanlong had a good conversation with him at the exchange meeting, Liang Xiao was not in a hurry.

The land of Guanlong is also one of the barriers of the Great Zhou to resist foreign races.

Once the Guanlong nobles rebelled, the road to trade in the Western Regions was cut off first, and the Great Zhou people could only trace the river from the waterway when they entered Bashu.

Da Zhou had to send additional troops and horses to defend various dangerous passes, which was quite unfavorable.

This group of military aristocrats is as thoughtful as themselves, and the situation may be more difficult to deal with than expected, but at least they have not shown ill will towards the imperial court for a long time, and Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui's determination to stand against Beihu is the main reason.

Just as Liang Xiao was thinking, Gu Pingxiu brought him a famous bow given by Duan Yunyi.

"There are two thunder bows, both of which are carefully made by palace craftsmen, one is in the hands of the Marquis of Dingguo, and now it is passed on to his eldest grandson, Mu Lingxiao, the general of Zhengbei, and the other is kept by Xuanwei, which can shoot beasts within two hundred and thirty steps."

Liang Xiao took the Thunder Bow and took a closer look.

This bow is sallow, and it should be made of high-quality wood and many years of hard work.

The effective killing distance of two hundred and thirty steps is indeed a famous bow in this era, at least it can be used by itself.

"Whew!"

Liang Xiao picked up the sunset bow and tried to shoot more than a dozen arrows at the arrow target thirty steps away, and after finding the right head, he began to shoot arrows without missing a shot, each arrow hit the bull's-eye, and Gu Pingxiu's eyes were straight.

If it weren't for the skill of arching horses since childhood, it would be difficult to have such accurate archery, let alone at night.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mu Qinxue came to the Lanling Marquis Mansion to visit Liang Xiao's brothers and sisters, and taught Jiang Fuxue to play Go.

After Jiang Fuxue went to sleep, Mu Qinxue and Liang Xiao sat under the eaves, looking at the moon, satisfied.

She is a girl after all, and it is a great blessing in life to be able to spend time with her lover.

Liang Xiao's sense of smell was sensitive, and the elegant body fragrance of the girl around him came with the wind, making him can't help but look at Mu Qinxue.

The girl in Tsing Yi under the moonlight is shy, gentle, peerless and independent.

It's just that there is a feeling of danger in a hundred million places.

"Qin Xue, let's leave for Lanling in three days." Liang Xiao spoke.

"Okay~" After Mu Qinxue agreed without thinking, she asked again, "But, don't you need to train soldiers recently?" ”

"Starting tomorrow, I will arrange training programs for them, with Uncle Zhuge to help them practice, with him, basic training is not a problem."

Mu Qinxue was relieved at this time, and then she remembered something, her face turned red, and she said hesitantly: "I know that you want to go to the battlefield in the future, but you are the only descendant of the Liang family, if you go to the battlefield without heirs......"

Liang Xiao sighed: "The capital is a prosperous scene, there are a large number of displaced people, and the outside world is unimaginable. If the generals are reluctant to die and cowardly, there is really little hope for the country. ”

Mu Qinxue looked at Liang Xiao with a vein, and her heart secretly agreed.

She understood what Liang Xiao meant, as the Marquis of Lanling, the future Great Zhou Concubine, even if he didn't charge into battle, once he led the troops, he would at least go to the front line to command the battle.

Now the Great Zhou still has Zhuge Hui and her grandfather to stabilize the situation, but they are all over the age, and when they are a hundred years later, how rampant will those families be?

The fiancé in front of him turned out to be the man he was most proud of in the future!

"But don't worry, I'm not impulsive and reckless, and besides, I have soft armor from my master, and my sword is hard to hurt. As for getting married and having children, I'll fight for it. Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Hey, that Yunsleeve sister doesn't have to worry about it......" Mu Qinxue muttered.

Liang Xiao said: "Actually, it was Yun Sleeve who proposed that I take you to inspect the fiefdom." ”

"Oops?" Mu Qinxue was stunned for a moment, and her heart was moved.

It's a good sister of your own!!

Duan Yunchong has not yet married Liang Xiao, so it is indeed not suitable to accompany him to inspect the fiefdom, and Lanling is still far away from the capital.

In the dead of night, the two of them discussed their latest poems in the courtyard.

Early the next morning, the Ram's liquor store did not open for a long time, but no one paid attention to the matter.

The shopkeepers of the Ram clan sat in the wine shop, their heads down.

Ever since Lanling Liquor began to sell alcohol, almost all of its customers have been attracted to it.

Even some old customers who have been in business for more than ten years have slowly "defected".

After all, the wine of Lanling Wine Shop is good and cheap, and it is popular all over the city.

The rest of the great families were helpless about it.

Yesterday, the wine of the Ram's Wine Store has dropped to the cost price, and it still can't sell a few jars, so it can only be sold at a loss and empty the inventory.

The liquor industry in the capital was hit hard by Liang Xiao Liquor, which made these families deeply feel the effect of newspaper communication.

A small newspaper not only spreads quickly, but can also be preserved for a long time, far more than ordinary word of mouth and hand-copying.

They have received the news that Liang Xiao is printing each issue of the newspaper and entrusting the convoy of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion to transport it to all parts of the country, making a small profit while expanding the influence of public opinion.

These big families have monopolized officialdom for many years and have a keen sense of smell.

The sense of crisis that Liang Xiao brought to them was no less than that of Zhuge Hui and the empress, but this was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and they couldn't get rid of it quickly.

Unless the capital falls, or Liang Xiao dies in a foreign place......

In the early morning of the same day, 2,500 recruits gathered at the barracks campus.

Everyone looked at Liang Xiao on the high platform with great expectations.

In the future, they will enter the Lanling Marquis Mansion and become Liang Xiao's retainers.

Military status, which means that they are soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Congratulations to all of you for passing the selection and becoming a member of the Liang family."

As soon as Liang Xiao's words fell, the 2,500 people in the audience knelt down on one knee.

"See Master Hou!"

After Liang Xiao let everyone get up, he said in a loud voice: "In the future, the Liang family army will supply everyone with food, clothing, shelter and transportation according to the specifications of the elite troops of the Great Zhou, and provide you with the best batch of weapons." ”

Everyone was overjoyed and was about to thank them, but unexpectedly, Liang Xiao's words changed sharply, and his tone was serious.

However, once you become a member of the Liang family army and accept these treatments, from now on, you must strictly abide by all military orders, and obedience is the first priority. Moreover, in the future, we will inevitably face a worse battle situation than other legions, and face all strong enemies, such as the Northern Jackal Rider! ”

"Northern Jackal ride?"

The 2,500 people who were originally elated all changed their expressions.

It was the most powerful cavalry unit in Beihu, commanded by the generalissimo of Beihu, and it was invincible.

The disaster of moving the capital seventeen years ago was that the generalissimo of Beihu led this army, smashed the defense line of the Great Zhou, and brought endless nightmares to the Great Zhou!

Liang Xiao said calmly: "Now it's up to you to decide, quit on the spot, you can give three taels of silver, and you can join the army and serve normally in the future, but in the future, you will permanently lose the qualification to become any elite legion in the Great Zhou." ”

Everyone was stunned: "Exit and send three taels of silver?" ”
