Chapter 2 The Situation of State Soldiers

Bai Feihe forcibly exerted his strength, poured all his strength into the palm of his hand, and pressed it down, but the result still did not change, and the sword in Qin Hong's hand did not seem to move at all.

At this moment, everyone was still, and the originally gloating expressions on some people's faces also stiffened on the spot. In this kind of scene, anyone can see that the strength of the young man in plain cotton clothes in front of him is not simple.

Bai Shuihe's hand began to tremble gradually, a layer of dense sweat had oozed from his forehead, and he was already powerless, but the wine glass Qin Hong was holding in his other hand did not even have a trace of ripples in the wine......

Just when Bai Shuihe was about to stop, Qin Hong's sword suddenly moved, only to see Qin Hong skillfully flick the long sword in his hand up, spare Bai Shuihe's arm, and then slap the scabbard down.

"Smack!"

The scabbard smashed into the back of Baishuihe's hand.

A red mark appeared, and Bai Shuihe only felt that his whole arm was hot and painful, and his cheeks were also hot, which was a naked slap in the face, and gave him a very profound lesson in front of everyone in the tavern.

"Master, what's wrong? Are your hands okay......" Rosen asked with a little playfulness.

"You!" Bai Shuihe glared at Rosen, almost jumping in anger.

"If you dare to be presumptuous, I will cut off one of your arms!" Qin Hong's voice came coldly.

Bai Shuihe was frightened, if his arm was cut off, his life would probably be over, this time he was swept away, he wanted to get back to the field, but the young man in front of him was too powerful, which made Bai Shuihe have no intention of fighting, although he was full of resentment, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to snort coldly and waved away......

Bang Bang ......

At this time, at the table next to Qin Hong, the bearded black-armored soldier suddenly clapped his hands.

Qin Hong followed the prestige, the bearded man arched his hand towards Qin Hong, and said, "Sure enough, it is a young hero, admire and admire!"

Qin Hongbaozhi smiled slightly, "Disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Seeing Qin Hong's response, the bearded man suddenly stood up, which made Qin Hong suddenly raise his vigilance, he had already shown some strength just now, if this person dared to come to provoke, he must have some ability.

I saw the bearded black-armored soldier walk up to Qin Hong's table, and said with a hearty smile: "I am the centurion of the black-armored army - Ma Shan, the white flying river just now, I have long been displeasing to the eye, my brother can teach him a lesson, which makes me very happy, two brothers, I invite!"

Qin Hong was slightly stunned, this Ma Shan in front of him was a bold person, and he had a slight resemblance to Han Yuan in some aspects, arched his hand, and said: "Under Qin Hong, this is my eldest brother Lawson!"

Rosen nodded at Ma Shan, and the two had met.

"Ma is a rough man, but he also knows a few etiquettes, I don't know the two brothers, can Ma sit down here?" Ma Shan asked, pointing to the other stool that was empty at Qin Hong's table.

"You invite us to drink, if we don't let you sit, won't it be unreasonable?" Qin Hong said with a smile.

"Haha!" The bearded man laughed, then sat down, looked at Qin Hong and Rosen, and said: "I think the two brothers should be people with great skills, now that the border is in an emergency, and the war is about to ignite, why don't the two of them join the army and serve the country?"

"It's not a secret, the two of us are preparing to join the army this time, but we are still waiting and seeing, first understand the situation clearly before making plans!" Rosen said, looked at Ma Shan again, and said: "Captain Mafu, I see that you are also a person in the army, can you tell us about some things in the army?"

Qin Hong is also interested, this Ma Shan is a person in the army, he should have a detailed understanding of the state barracks in Youzhou, and from his mouth, he should be able to get a lot of news.

"Since the two of them have the heart to join the army, they are also hot-blooded good men who are determined to serve the motherland, and I see that the two of them are also very close to each other, so I will tell you some of the information I know!" Ma Shan said.

Rosen nodded, and asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of good wine, and the three of them quickly started drinking and talking.

Through Ma Shan's introduction, Qin Hong roughly understood the situation of the army in Youzhou today.

The soldiers of Youzhou are state soldiers, although they are nominally the army of the imperial court, but in fact the control is in the hands of the Youxuanmen below, the Youxuanmen is entrenched in Youzhou, with a long history, and the age of its existence is even far beyond the history of the Southern Tang Kingdom.

The seven continents of the world, the northernmost place is Youzhou, the territory is vast, entrenched in the north, the east is north of Jingzhou, the southeast of the land of fish and rice is Yanzhou, the southern wild land is Minzhou, the southwest hilly plateau is Bazhou, and the northwest bitter cold land is Yanzhou, in addition to these six states, there is also a state, that is, Zhongzhou, located in the center of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the center of the Southern Tang Dynasty's politics, economy and culture, the geographical coverage area is second only to Youzhou, is the place where the power of the dynasty is most concentrated.

And the other six kinds outside Zhongzhou, after the founding of the Southern Tang State for a thousand years, have basically been out of the control of the dynasty, this time Meng sent troops to be stationed in the northeast of Youzhou, there is a knock on the pass to attack, although the royal city issued an order to resist, but in fact did not launch a soldier, but just issued a holy decree, let Youxuanmen recruit troops and fill the army, firmly guard the north.

The three major armies under the Youxuanmen Gate already had 300,000 soldiers, and now they are recruiting again, with the goal of recruiting another 300,000, and will gather 600,000 troops to resist the possible attack of the Mongolian ** team.

The three major armies under the Youxuanmen Gate are the Black Armor Army, the Tiger Killing Army, and the Assassin Army.

Among them, the Black Armor Army is the strongest, the most abundant, and the largest number of troops, with 150,000 soldiers and thousands of fierce generals.

Secondly, it is the tiger killing army, the tiger killing army is good at spears, army soldiers generally use spears as weapons, army soldiers 100,000, each wearing tiger stripe armor, majestic.

The last army is the Assassin Army, which makes the enemy smell and turn color. The Phantom Thorn Army has the smallest number of people, but the conditions for selection and enlistment are higher, this team, the selection is all soldiers who are good at concealment and body style, when marching and fighting, as a surprise soldier, the enemy unknowingly inflicts a painful blow on the enemy.

In addition, there are 30,000 city guards, which are controlled by the county city lord, but the quality of these 30,000 city guards is uneven, even if it is a thousand black armor army, it can instantly crush the city guards composed of 30,000 people, and even slaughter it completely.

Ma Shan said in detail, and also said some interesting things in the army, Qin Hong and Luo Sen listened very happily, and after three pots of wine, the horse groom got up and said goodbye.

"It's not too early, during this time, the recruits only escaped to drink and satisfy their hunger, and after the ban is issued in the future, there will be fewer opportunities to come out!" Ma Shan said again.

"Thank you, Captain Mafu, for telling me so much!" Qin Hong and Rosen also stood up at the same time.

"You're welcome, I think the two of them are also talents, and they like it in their hearts, if they can be in the same camp in the future, they will have two more friends......" Ma Shan smiled again, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Qin Hong naturally understood what Ma Shan meant, in the military camp, it seems that the iron law is like a mountain, everything is in order, and the rules are in order, in fact, there are also factions in each army, so it is reasonable to form gangs and strengthen their own connections and connections.

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely get closer to you!" Brother Ma ......," Qin Hong said sincerely.

Seeing that Qin Hong was very up-to-the-point, Ma Shan glanced at Qin Hong with satisfaction, and said: "Brother Qin, do you know that the Bai Feihe you provoked today has a lot of background in the Black Armor Army, if you choose to join the Black Armor Army in the future, you may still encounter some troubles......

Qin Hong snorted slightly, and arched his hand towards Ma Shan: "No matter what, thank you Brother Ma for reminding me."

Ma Shan stroked his long beard and laughed: "Okay, my brother is a person with great ability, so he is naturally fearless! This is my seal, if the two of you choose to join the Black Armor Army in the future, as long as you have any questions, you can come to me with the seal!"

After handing over a seal, Ma Shan got up to say goodbye, and went out of the tavern with a few other entourage.

"Third child, what do you think of Ma Shan?" Rosen asked thoughtfully, looking at Ma Shan's departing back.

"It's okay, it's thick and fine, and the temperament is bold!" Qin Hong said.

"For some reason, I always feel that he has the shadow of the second child, so I have a good impression of him!" Rosen added.

Qin Hong frowned suspiciously, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know why, I feel this way too......"

......

After a while, Qin Hong and Luo Sen also temporarily left the inn and went shopping.

Qin Hong wanted to see what was the difference between the Wanbao Firm in this county town and the Wanbao Firm in Tongguan City.

Last time in Tongguan City, Qin Hong was blocked in the second layer, and now Qin Hong's strength is comparable to Xuanzong, and it is not a problem to enter the third or even fourth layer.

Wanbao Commercial Bank is in the central area of Luoxing City, the whole Wanbao Building is quite majestic, covering an extremely wide area, compared with the Wanbao Commercial Bank in Shangtong Guancheng, it is simply a world of difference.

Entering the first floor, there is no end in sight, all kinds of goods are dazzling, on the ceiling of the roof, with a crystal stone inlay on it, each light stone will project a wisp of soft light, everything below is illuminated in the hazy brilliance, the first floor of the entire Wanbao firm looks bright and wonderful, as if in a fairyland on earth, a blessed land. , which makes people linger and forget to return.

On the first floor, there are some simple Xuan soldiers, not even into the stream, but exquisite workmanship, and some small mystical skills and tricks, in addition to some ordinary pills and medicinal materials, expensive in the best of the kind, everything.

After a short stroll on the first floor, Qin Hong and Rosen went to the second floor of Wanbao Firm.
