Chapter 484: Qincheng Military Camp
Ren Xiao, who came out of the Cave Heart Garden, didn't know where to go first, and during the days of following his master's cultivation, he didn't have any news from the outside world, and he didn't know where his partners were now.
"Let's go to the capital first! The lord of the country should have information from all over the country, and then decide where to go!" Thinking of this, Ren Xiao set off towards the capital.
Wearing a broken hat on his head and carrying two different horizontal knives behind his back, after being trained by Feng Caiyi for a month, Ren Xiao's whole personality has changed in temperament.
The first stop on the way from Dongxinting to the capital was Qincheng, where Xiaoyue's army was stationed. When he came to the gate of Qincheng, Ren Xiao saw that the soldiers standing guard were checking the people entering and leaving Qincheng, and there was a five-step, one-post, ten-step and one sentry on the city wall, which could be described as a strict layout. After Ren Xiao came to the door, a soldier with a spear stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing in Qincheng?"
Ren Xiao took off his hat and said, "I'm a ranger, passing by here!" The soldier looked Ren Xiao up and down, and said, "Ranger, in this situation, why don't you stay at home to avoid the war, and run around?" Ren Xiao said with a smile: "It's because I don't have a hometown that I wander around!"
The soldier thought about it for a while, and then said to the leader of the city gate: "Captain, there is a ranger here, what should I do!" The captain walked over, looked at Ren Xiao, and said: "Since he is a ranger, let him go to the barracks tonight for the night, and send him away early tomorrow morning!"
The soldier said to Ren Xiao: "Go to our barracks, is it okay?" Ren Xiao nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, we originally planned to find a temple to sleep in, as long as we can sleep, it doesn't matter where we can sleep!" The captain said: "Then you will stand guard with us here first, and then take you in when the guard changes, okay?" Ren Xiao said: "No problem!"
One hour later, Ren Xiao sat at the foot of the city wall, sleeping with his face covered with a hat. "Hey, wake up!" A soldier shook Ren Xiao awake, and the latter picked up the hat and asked, "What's wrong?" The young soldier held a fresh apple in his hand and handed it to Ren Xiao, and said, "Just now a lady came over and gave us a basket of apples, I see that you haven't eaten for a long time, come and give you one!" Ren Xiao took the apple and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
The soldier sat down beside Ren Xiao and asked, "Listen to them, are you a ranger, what's your name?" When Ren Xiao was about to say his real name, he thought that if Yue Xing knew about it, he might not be able to leave tomorrow, so he said, "You can just call me Erniu!"
"Erniu, which ranger would have that name, just kidding!" questioned the soldier. Ren Xiao said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, what kind of ranger am I, but I came out out of desperation when my home is gone! By the way, what is your name? Why did you come here to be a soldier?" The soldier said: "My name is Dong Tian, and like you, I also have no home, so I came to be a soldier, why don't you come too! The leaders here are the backs of the four major legions, although they are about the same age as us, they are second to none in terms of strength and command! Follow them will definitely have a future!" Ren Xiao said with a smile: " Not yet, I still have this matter to deal with, and when it's done, I'll consider your suggestion!"
Dong Tian said: "It's okay, I'll just say it casually, you must have your own ideas!" Ren Xiao smiled and expressed his gratitude and understanding. "Okay, it's almost time for the changing of the guard, I'll take you to the barracks!" Dong Tian stood up and said. Ren Xiao packed up his things and followed to find them, and after a while, the troops who changed the guard came, and Ren Xiao followed Dong Tian and them to the barracks.
On the way, Dong Tiandu Ren Xiao said: "I hope you can understand, Qincheng is the southernmost city leading to the capital, so we must always be vigilant, and it is a last resort to bring me to the barracks!" Ren Xiao said: "I understand, the captain is also for the overall situation, I can understand!"
After entering the barracks, Ren Xiao saw the soldiers in high spirits and heroic postures, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really worthy of the Xiaoyue family's army!" Dong Tian said proudly: "Now you know that we are good here!
Dong Tian took Ren Xiao to his tent, which was a tent of twelve people, except for Dong Tian standing guard today, the others were fine except for training. After entering the camp, Ren Xiao saw eleven middle-aged men, all with fat heads and big ears, not looking like a soldier at all. Just when Ren Xiao was puzzled, Dong Tian said to the others: "Big brothers, this is the ranger I met at the city gate today, the captain asked him to take him back to the barracks for the night, and he will stay in our tent tonight." ”
One of the middle-aged men had been facing Dong Tian and Ren Xiao with his back to him, and after hearing Dong Tian's description, he turned around, and Ren Xiao saw that his face was full of meat, and he was holding a dog's leg in his hand and was gnawing, and his face was full of oil stains. He said, "You little bastard, who told you to bring people here? Have you forgotten who is the boss of this tent?"
In the face of the man's reprimand, Dong Tian hurriedly apologized and said: "Big brother, I just look at Erniu and he is pitiful...... The man's voice interrupted Dong Tian and said: "Pitiful? He is pitiful, aren't we pitiful? We have to squeeze when he lives in, have you considered us?" Dong Tian hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will squeeze with Erniu at night, and I will definitely not occupy your place!" The man wanted to continue to reprimand, but was stopped by the person next to him and said, "Forget it! There will be activities tonight!" Don't alarm the people above, it's worth the loss!"
"That's right, tonight is a big deal, if you're lucky, you'll be able to soar and never have to live in this broken tent again!" the group of men talked and laughed together. Dong Tian helped Ren Xiao put away his baggage and said to him, "Let's go outside for a walk!" Ren Xiao glanced at the big men gathered around, and knew that Dong Tian was afraid of them, so he said to go out for a walk.
After the two of them got out of the tent, Ren Xiao asked: "You seem to be very afraid of those people, who are they?" Dong Tian sighed and said: "A few of them came to join the army together, I just came at that time, and I was divided into a tent, they often bullied me because of the large number of people, once I beat them up in a fit of anger, and later I learned that they had a relationship with the captain above, and I was the only one who was punished, and since then they have been even more arrogant and unreasonable to me, and I don't dare to provoke them again." ”
"So that's the case, but when this happens, don't the commanders care?" Ren Xiao asked. Dong Tian said: "The commanders can't control our level at all, they are all managed by the captain, so these people are bullying!"
"By the way, I heard them say anything about the activity just now, and you just said it, what is this?" Dong Tian said: "This is a regular selection competition held in our military camp, anyone can participate, as long as you can defeat all the people, you will have the opportunity to be recommended to the commanders, so as to ascend to the sky in one step!" Ren Xiao was surprised: "There is such a good thing! Have you ever participated?" Dong Tian said sullenly: "Of course I have participated, but I don't have a backstage, and the game was suspended when I was about to defeat the opponent! I haven't participated in it since!" Ren Xiao thought for a while and said to him: "Do you believe me?" Dong Tian said suspiciously: "Believe it!"
Ren Xiao said: "If you believe me, you will go to the competition tonight!" Dong Tian hesitated, Ren Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't you say you believe me, are you afraid that you don't have the strength to defeat the opponent?" Dong Tian shook his head and said, "Okay, then I'll go tonight!"
In the evening, a ring was set up in the barracks, and hundreds of captains led their team members around the ring, on which eight high-level leaders were seated.
A gong sounded, the game began, and the first two soldiers to go up began to duel, with the winner reserved for the next round. Dong Tian also participated in the game with the encouragement of Ren Xiao, and easily won the first three games, but the men who were in the same tent with Dong Tian also participated in the game, and they also won the first three games. Ren Xiao has been watching the game from the sidelines, and he can see it clearly, those fat-headed and big-eared men don't have any strength at all, but they unexpectedly won the game, Ren Xiao frowned.
Soon, Dong Tian's fourth game began, but Dong Tian was not seen on the court for a long time, and just when Ren Xiao was puzzled, Dong Tian appeared beside him.
"Why don't you go to the competition yet?" Ren Xiao asked in surprise. Dong Tian hesitated: "Last time, the game with him was suspended and was declared defeated!" Ren Xiao said: "Are you scared? Don't you dare to fight him?" Dong Tian looked at Ren Xiao and said: "Just now, someone stole my weapon, such an obvious warning, what else can I do?" Ren Xiao did not hesitate to pull out his breeze and fall leaves and handed them to Dong Tian, and said: "If you are still a man, go up and beat him up for me, even if you can't choose, you have to give yourself this bad breath." ”
After being inspired by Ren Xiao, Dong Tian took the breeze and rushed into the ring without hesitation.
"It's you, the defeated general, who still dare to challenge me?" said the opponent contemptuously. The men in the same tent with Dong Tian under the ring were very surprised to see Dong Tian holding a horizontal knife, and the eldest of them said: "Didn't they all steal his weapon, why does he still have a knife?" The person next to him said: "This knife must be the kid he brought back!"
In the ring, Dong Tian said to his opponent: "Last time, you relied on the relationship above to determine that I lost, this time, I want you to not even have a chance to surrender!" The opponent sneered: "Just rely on you little doll? I don't need a relationship to defeat you this time!" After speaking, he rushed towards Dong Tian, Dong Tian waved the breeze and fallen leaves to meet him, and slashed down with all his strength, and the opponent used a spear to block, but was split in half by a knife. Dong Tian didn't have time to be surprised, and kicked over, and the opponent flew out of the ring.
