Chapter 39: The Guards of Takayanagi Castle
On the martial arts field, the apprentices in the inner courtyard had arrived, and Li Yuan also saw Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, who were not named, and nodded when he saw him.
"When everyone is gathered, let's go!"
Yue Yunjin was carrying a hardwood red tassel gun, he was long and heroic, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he turned around and left.
Li Yuan and the others carried their swords on their backs and quickly followed.
The apprentices in the outer courtyard have already started their day's work, and they can't help but be envious when they look at the apprentices in the inner courtyard who are heroic and capable of carrying weapons.
The sky was just dawning, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the group walked silently, and soon, they arrived at the city gate.
Sigh law ~
Li Yuan followed the sound.
Outside the city gate, Tang Tong straddled the horse and carried a gun, and was communicating with people, waving his hand at this time, signaling Li Yuan and others to step forward.
Li Yuan looked.
Outside the city gate, there were dozens of people lined up, and at the front, the leaders of each family, all rode high-headed horses, carrying swords and swords.
"Second-order spear, second-order inner armor, first-order boots...... The old man said that he was bold, but he was actually more cautious than anyone else! ”
Li Yuan slandered in his heart.
He also deliberately took a long detour and passed by the leaders of various families, none of these leaders were easy to mess with, but the 'light' on Tang Tong's body was the most dazzling among the crowd.
The rest of the team leaders, whether it is Liu Jin, the leader of the Chai Gang, Xiahou Liang, the leader of the Fishing Gang, or Wang Dong of the Sanhe Gang, are far inferior.
It made him very hot-eyed, especially the second-order inner armor, which was several times more expensive than the spear, a real luxury.
Glancing at the chaotic disciples, Li Yuan muttered in his heart: "The financial resources and power of the forging shop are indeed much greater than those of the others. ”
The forging shop was changed to the previous life, it was not a benchmark with iron, and the blade that entered the rank must be regarded as ammunition at least......
"Senior Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time."
When Li Yuan was pondering, Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming came over and led a horse.
"Something?"
Li Yuan is neither lukewarm nor lukewarm.
"No, it's the first time we've participated in this kind of thing, and we want to be a companion with Senior Brother Li."
Zhao Xiaoming said softly.
It was not yet April Day, and she was already wearing a very cool dress, and her slim martial robe outlined a conspicuous curve, and as soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of all around.
"Senior Brother Yue is the team leader."
Li Yuan took a few steps back, vigilant.
“…… The little sister was abrupt. ”
Zhao Xiaoming's face was a little unbearable, but it was Wang Gong, as if he didn't remember that he was taken away with a bottle of blood pills, and said in a low voice:
"In a few days, there will be a small party in the inner city, led by Miss Lu, I heard that it is related to the Valley of Divine Soldiers, if Senior Brother Li is interested, can the younger brother take the lead on his behalf?"
Miss Lu?
The concubine of the county commander Lu Yunqing, Lu Bailing?
Li Yuan's heart moved slightly, and before he could reply, he heard Yue Yunjin shout in a deep voice:
"It's coming!"
The sound of dense horses' hooves followed, Li Yuan raised his head, and dozens of people outside the city also looked over.
I saw that on the official road, a group of more than a dozen rode fast horses, everyone wore swords, everyone wore armor, full of momentum, causing a commotion outside the city, Tang Tong reined in the reins of the horse, and his expression was solemn.
"City Guard!"
Li Yuan heard someone nearby exclaiming, and he looked from afar, and he also felt depressed.
How can Qiu Da be able to suppress the many forces in the inner and outer cities, the bandits and horse bandits rampant between the towns and villages, and let them confess every year?
It was these three hundred city guards.
As far as he knew, these 300 people were all strong, everyone learned martial arts, there were as many as eight people who cultivated internal strength, and there were 30 cavalry people, and their strength was very strong.
"Why is Brother Liu coming, where is Commander Qiu?"
Wang Dong, the leader of the Three Rivers Gang, was the first to speak, and his voice was loud.
"Phew!"
In the distance, more than a dozen horsemen stopped in unison, and the leading knight urged his horse forward and said:
"The commander has forced the big thief Nian Jiu into the Fa Gu Mountain, and is pursuing himself, and I am coming, please go to search the mountain and capture this fang!"
"I was about to help, how dare Commander Lao come to ask for help?"
The king bowed his hand, patted the horse, and took the lead in following:
"Come with me, brethren!"
More than a dozen elite gangs of the Three Rivers Gang should follow quickly, and the rest of the forces were not to be outdone and followed one after another.
"Keep up!"
Dropping a sentence, Tang Tong urged the horse out.
How the hell is this going to keep up?
Looking at the leaders of the various families who had left in front of him, Li Yuan only felt a little messy in the wind.
Carrying a hammer of more than 30 pounds, racing with horses, right?
"Let's go!"
Yue Yunjin tied his spear behind and trotted to follow.
There is no separation between the pile steps, and the white ape cloak hammer naturally has footwork, with breathing, it is very resistant to long-distance running, and the worst blood of the apprentices also has a small success, although they can't keep up with the horse, but they haven't left the team.
However, the back hammer naturally fell behind.
"This kid has such good stamina?"
Wu Ming glanced at Li Yuan, who had always followed behind him, and couldn't help but be surprised when he glanced at Liu Chen, Tian Ding and other apprentices who were at the end.
"Damn, why is that kid faster than me?"
Seeing that Li Yuan, who was not moving fast in front of him, but was not struggling, the last few apprentices in the inner courtyard were a little anxious.
They were still waiting to see what the face of this genius little junior brother who had chosen a heavy hammer was pulled at the end.
Right now, they can only look at each other and grit their teeth to keep up.
"It seems that in the entire outer city of Gaoliu County, there are not too many apprentices who are full of blood and blood? Or is it the same as Liu Qing said, those who are ambitious and talented have gone to the Dragon Mansion? ”
Carrying a heavy hammer, Li Yuan was not tired.
Although his blood and qi can't keep up with such an old apprentice who has a good family background and has been practicing martial arts for several years, it is not bad.
The blood qi tempering method of superior martial arts has a miraculous effect, although he does not look as strong as those old apprentices, but he actually has good physical strength.
Coupled with the blessing of the consummation-level white ape cloak hammer method.
Not only was he not tired, but he also had the energy to try different frequency bands of the ape six breathing method, so as to cooperate with the long-distance running, and gradually groped his way out.
"It's very interesting to use the breathing method like this, if it weren't for this run, I wouldn't have found out."
After adjusting his breathing many times, Li Yuan even felt a little at ease, but he could also feel that the blood qi in his body was slowly depleting.
At first, Li Yuan was still in the mood to take a look at the scenery outside the city, and occasionally he could see some small villages, but later he felt tired.
Just before noon, I arrived at the foot of the Dove Mountain.
At this time, except for a few leaders who rode horses, most of the disciples and apprentices were tired and sweaty, and several of them made their butts to the ground.
Had to fix one or two temporarily.
Wang Gong and Zhao Xiaoming, who rode together, were also choked by the bumps, and hid in the shade of the trees to rest, and farther at the foot of the mountain, woodcutters from the firewood gang carried the freshly beaten firewood down the mountain.
Under the shade of the trees, Li Yuan wiped his sweat, looked at those woodcutters, and suddenly lived a hard life:
"It's been at least more than 60 miles back and forth, and the second brother has to run like this every day, rain or shine, to earn seven dollars of silver!"
Gaoliu County is a big county, the city has been built for thousands of years, and some of the nearby mountains have long been cut down, and occasionally there are left, which is also the self-reserved land of those families in the city.
Even these mountains on the periphery of Fajiu Mountain have to join the firewood gang to be qualified to cut them, and ordinary people have to walk more than ten miles of mountains if they want to cut firewood.
"No wonder the second brother will send me to the forging shop even if he borrows money and stuffs the silver. Real drudgery, I haven't been exposed to ......"
Taking out the dry food and chewing it slowly, sitting on the grass under the tree, Li Yuan's mind diverged, and it took a while to hear Yue Yunjin's voice sound.
"Assemble, go into the mountains!"
