Hearing Lin Mu's exclamation, the first person to ask was not Tang Feng and the others, but the old dragon head, "Lin Darttou also knows the four masters of Xiangyang?"

Lin Mu said with an excited expression, "Of course, although I am running the route in the territory of the Beichen Empire, I have been to the Tianfu Empire in the south several times, Xiangyang City has an extremely important position as the hub of the southern water transportation system of the Tianfu Empire, but it is said that Prince Mu who is sitting in Xiangyang City has 200,000 elite divisions, which is an elite army under the direct command of Prince Mu, so it is conceivable that Xiangyang City's status in the Tianfu Empire." ”

Tang Feng and Liu Chen made their eyes solemn, they didn't expect that there were people who knew their hometown so well in this northern northern region, you must know that Xiangyang was thousands of miles away from here, and although the four of them had traveled all the way, they had only come here for more than half a year.

Feng Yishan touched his chin and analyzed, "This Xiangyang is the hub of the water system, it must be a place where the Tianfu Empire has a lot of water transportation, and there are a lot of business travelers, so it makes sense to send heavy troops to garrison it, but such a place shouldn't be heavily guarded, right? Why is there still a Jianghu sect inheritance here?"

Lin Mu looked at Tang and Liu, the two looked at each other, Tang Feng said, "Brother Feng! This family affair is still our own thing! The four of us Tang, Nie, Liu, and Yin are originally from the Jianghu family, and when the Tianfu Empire was founded, the Jianghu sects each supported their own favored side, and the four of us chose the founding emperor of the Tianfu Empire, after the founding of the country, the emperor promised us to enjoy certain interests of Xiangyang City, and the condition was that we should fully support Xiangyang City to belong to the Tianfu Empire, and the whole clan would join the army to defend Tianfu at the time of crisis. ”

Lin Mu added, "Well, although the four great families only enjoy the benefits of less than one of the hundred in Xiangyang City, but the interests of one city are so huge, not to mention that it is a water system hub town, the four great families take this opportunity to develop rapidly, from the original famous family in the rivers and lakes to the super family on the rivers and lakes, the Tianfu Empire, the imperial court, the army, the trappers, and even the left and right Qianniuwei in the sixteen guards in Beijing also have their disciples." ”

After saying it in one breath, Lin Mu seemed to be very excited, and took a big sip of tea and said, "Cool, the tea in this Jiuxianglou is fragrant." ”

Nie Rongrong said disdainfully, "If you want to taste tea, how can you drink it like you, it has been ruined by you." ”

Lin Mu smiled, not to be angry with a little girl, Feng Yishan waited for Lin Mu to calm down and asked, "What are the sixteen guards in the capital and the left and right thousand cow guards?"

The old dragon head said" Young Lord, the Sixteen Guards of the Tianfu Empire is the sixteen Janissaries of the Emperor of Tianfu when the founding of the country, officially renamed the Sixteen Guards of Beijing after the founding of the People's Republic of China, well-equipped, powerful in combat, at the beginning of each guard of 5,000 people, a total of 80,000 troops, and later to the Zhongzong period to change the system of the left and right thousand Niu Wei into arrest agencies, the left and right prison guards for the palace guards, each guard 2,000 people, the rest of the internal guards increased the number to 20,000 and reduced the local government soldiers to control the local troops, now in addition to the left and right thousand Niu Wei do not know its number, the Beijing 14 guards a total of 244,000 people。 ”

Feng Yishan said, "In this way, the left and right Qianniuwei are equivalent to our Beichen's Jinyi Mansion Division." ”

The old dragon head said, "The young master is not wrong to say this, but there is actually a difference between the two, Qianniuwei is downsized from the Praetorian Guard, and the military style is extremely strong, and the Jinyi Mansion Division is expanded from the honor guard, and a large number of people in the rivers and lakes are filled to strengthen the force, so the habits of the rivers and lakes are serious. ”

Feng Yishan said, "Well, the style is different, and the way of doing things is different, hey, Long Lao, Tianfu has sixteen guards in Beijing, do we have such an elite army in Beichen." ”

The old dragon head said, "That is naturally there, my Beichen army is not like Tianfu in general to the military guard but called the guard, the most elite of which is the early days of the founding of the Beijing army 26 guards, but now Jinwu four guards full-time palace guards, Jinyi Guard, Bannerman Guard has been rebuilt Jinyi Mansion Division, Yanshan left, right, front three guards changed to the imperial tomb guard, no longer have the territory, Daxing, Jiyang, Jeju, The four guards of Tongzhou are all large battalions stationed guards, and they will not move easily, and there are only 2,000 people in each of the above eleven guards, and the remaining 13 guards have 5,600 people per guard, a total of more than 70,000 people, which is far from the Tianfu Empire. ”

Feng Yishan said: "Old Long, how do you know so much?"

The old dragon head said, "There are laws in the military regulations of various countries, and there are detailed instructions in the conscription notices issued by the imperial court, so that the people can know about the military affairs, and the old people pay more attention to it, so they naturally know, but this is the prescribed number, and I don't know how many we actually have, so I can only use it as a reference." But the young master should not feel useless, walking the rivers and lakes will inevitably encounter the imperial court conscription, banditry, and warfare, and it is always useful to know more. ”

Feng Yishan nodded yes, this old dragon head is really a humanoid Baiku, he knows everything, and after speaking, he said to Tang Feng, "I didn't expect Brother Tang to come from a super family, but let me be envious, I don't know if Brother Tang has something important to do when I come to Beichen." ”

Tang Feng said, "The wind is less lifted, but don't make fun of it, what kind of family in the rivers and lakes is just the love of the people in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes talk about heroes with martial arts, it is too difficult for the family to survive in the rivers and lakes, there are not many families in the rivers and lakes, and the four of us are just in the same breath, and we can only gain a firm foothold with the power of the Tianfu court." This is just a family routine and crown trial, every family child must go out to experience, we have been out for more than half a year, all the way to Beichen came, heard the name of the northern inland Houhai so specially came here to watch. ”

"Oh! That's really a blessing to meet Brother Tang here. Feng Yishan said politely.

Tang Feng said, "Where, where, I have to thank Lin Dart, otherwise how could we meet!"

"Ahh

A deep middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the door of the laughing room, "What is so happy, Lin Mu is also happy to introduce it to me!"

Lin Mu stood up and greeted the door, and while opening the door, he said to everyone, "The head of the dart is here." ”

Feng Yishan stood up and looked at the door, only to see a middle-aged man with starry eyebrows and sword eyes wearing a cyan robe, walking into the attic door with a pair of hands behind his back, glanced around, and looked at Feng Yishan and said, "Feng Shao is really a talent, and he is Xuanang!"

Feng Yishan said politely, "The head of the dart is the sword spirit, and the magic is introverted, I think it has been a great achievement!"

The chief dart head walked in, and there were three people behind him, and he found a seat and sat down and said, "Down is Chu Guoxiong, the chief dart head of the Jinyang Dart Bureau, this is Xie Liangcai, the number one military master of my Jinyang Dart Bureau, these two are Pan Bao and Pan Hu brothers."

The three of them saw the salute, Feng Yishan naturally returned the salute, and took the opportunity to look, that Xie Liangcai's face was full of yin energy, full of insidious villain, Pan Bao Pan Hu and the two of them had a leopard face and a tiger head, sitting together and acting in a very orderly manner, Feng Yishan speculated that they might have a set of combined techniques, so they were taken by Chu Guoxiong.

After Chu Guoxiong finished introducing, Feng Yishan also introduced his own people, needless to say, the five old dragon heads needless to say, the congenital realm on the opposite side were Chu Guoxiong and Xie Liangcai, and his face was full of respect, so that Feng Yishan couldn't guess what attention this Chu dart head hit. But the identity of Tang Feng and the four of them made Feng Yishan startled, and thought that the other party didn't like to bring people to the banquet without authorization, how did they know that the Jinyang Dart Bureau was expanding the way in the Tianfu Empire, if they could catch the line of the four major families in Xiangyang, it would be extremely beneficial, Tang Feng and the four people also realized that this might be an opportunity, the fur and other things in the north are in short supply in the south, if they can pull the Jinyang Dart Bureau, they are also extremely willing, and the two sides are also extremely harmonious when they hit it off.

After talking about the identity of everyone, Lin Mu called the shopkeeper to prepare wine and food, Feng Yishan asked Chu Guoxiong why he wanted to entertain himself and others to the banquet, Chu Guoxiong said, "Feng Shao is young and promising, and I have saved the lives of Lin Mu and others, as the head of the Jinyang Dart Bureau, shouldn't I thank the wind for the lives of the brothers?"

Feng Yishan said, "Thank you! No need, they are all from the rivers and lakes, and when they see the unevenness, they draw their swords to help, and I believe that your dart bureau will do the same." ”

Chu Guoxiong said, "Okay, Feng Shao is quick to talk, I, Chu Guoxiong, am not the kind of person who hides and pinchs, I heard that Feng Shao wants to establish his own gang in Jinyang City, so I want to talk to Feng Shao about a deal." ”

"Oh!" Feng Yishan thought about it, this was already the first time he had come to negotiate a deal with himself, and asked, "I don't know what kind of deal Chu Daotou wants to negotiate?"

Chu Guoxiong said, "Feng Shao should know that the Jianghu sects in my Beichen Empire have to pay taxes to the imperial court on a regular basis, and the wind is less and the taxes are not much, but the gang must always develop, and the family must always take care of it, and the gang with less wind cannot always be this person, I don't have any decent industry at present, and this Jinyang City is also overcrowded, and Feng Shao wants to start from scratch, but it is not easy!"

Feng Yishan's eyes were cold, and he said, "What do you mean by the Gui Dart Bureau, someone will trouble us?"

Chu Guoxiong said, "Hehe, where did Feng Shao think about, this Beichen management is extremely strict, and the field may rely on their own abilities, but no one in the city dares to mess around, but Feng Shao's business can't go out of the city, if you want to cooperate with Feng Shao, you will contribute to me, Feng Shao will lend someone to me as a bodyguard, how about you and I get fifty-fifty points of silver." ”

Feng Yishan wanted to refuse, but he didn't know the rules of this dart business, so he looked at the old dragon head as if asking for help, and the old dragon head didn't plan to let Feng Yishan make his own decisions, and said for Feng Yishan, "Xie Chu's good intentions for the dart head, but since it is a business, how to borrow this person, how to protect the dart, there must be an explanation!"

Chu Guoxiong said, "Long Lao is also an old man on the rivers and lakes, he won't not understand the rules, you give me someone to give me, and the silver you earn will be given to you, how about it." ”

The old dragon said, "Impossible, our people will not be handed over to you to command, if you want to cooperate, you give the task, we will complete it, everyone is three or seven, I am seven and you are three." ”

Chu Guoxiong didn't think about it and said, "Then how can I be sure that you won't swallow the darts privately, the brand of my Jinyang Dart Bureau is still worth a price." ”

The old dragon head said, "In this case, there is no need to talk about it, some business, we are not short of it." ”

Chu Guoxiong was a little angry, and whispered to Xie Liangcai, Lin Mu played haha, Tang Feng whispered to Feng Yishan, "There are a lot of risks in walking darts, it's not that you can't trust it!"

Feng Yishan smiled and said nothing, it was not himself who was in a hurry, if it wasn't for the Jinyang Dart Bureau who wanted to use the strength of the old dragon's head, how could he find himself, drinking wine, looking at the gradually fading sea waiting for Chu Guoxiong's decision, suddenly the knock on the door sounded, everyone looked at each other, and the puzzled Lin Mu stood up and opened the door, only to see a person dressed as a scholar standing at the door and asking, "Is there a dragon head calligraphy and painting in your room?" The look was like a nerd obsessed with paintings, Lin Mu said impatiently" No, no, no, go, go, go. ”

Lin Mu sent away the nerd, but Feng Yishan found that there was a picture of a dragon head embroidered on his robe the moment the scholar turned around, and his eyes were embroidered with solid threads, and the pattern of the dragon's head was shown with various silk threads around it.
