Chapter 17 Entering the Village (II)
The drawbridge was slowly lowered, the gate of the village was opened, and Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji urged their mounts to step on the bridge deck with a big hole, and slowly entered the city under the gaze of the people at the head of the city and the five divine arm crossbows that had already been re-installed.
"You guys come with me to see Captain Li, don't walk around, otherwise you won't blame me for not reminding me if you die. ”
Liu Tugou arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for this brother, I don't know the name of Gao?"
I heard the black-clothed sentry guard at the head of the wall say: "This is Zhang Jinbei, the commander of the 100 cavalry of the Third Banner, that's ......."
The young man with a green face waved his hand to stop the black-clothed sentry guard's words, jumped down from the wall, glanced at the second master, and said with a light smile: "Just call me Zhang San, when you get to the village first, no one cares about this, and there will be no fools who rely on the surname family to fake the tiger." ”
The second master, who got off the horse after entering the village, sighed and looked at Zhang Jinbei's waist, but he didn't see the order flag of the hundred horsemen.
Zhang Jinbei is about the same size as Liu Tugou, wearing a black power suit of ordinary material, leggings made of leopard skin on his calves, and the same sleeves on his forearms, and a pair of blue-black palms are particularly conspicuous, which should be practiced some kind of fist kung fu.
Zhang Jinbei, who was carefully looking at the white horse and green ox, noticed Liu Tugou's gaze, raised his clenched blue-black fist and said with a smile: "This is the only one here." ”
The second master smiled and didn't speak, but Yang Xiongji's face showed an excited look, and he said with a cruel smile: "What kind of bird captain is He Xiuwei? If it doesn't help, the position of the owner of the village can't be given to the second brother to sit!"
This guy behaves like a bandit, and people who don't know the details really want to be deceived by him.
Zhang Jinbei didn't care, and replied: "You will know when you see it." ”
Liu Tugou was also a little curious, and asked: "I heard that the losses of the officers of the first guard are the most and fastest among the border troops, and most of them are fatally wounded in the back, is it true?"
"I have been here for less than two years, and Captain Li is already the third lieutenant to take up his post during this period. ”
This is vague, but there is a bit of blood on the inside.
Yang Xiongji was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Then this second brother of the captain can really do it, unlike other armies who have to climb slowly." ”
Liu Tugou couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded: "Fart, no matter how you say it, it's the border army of the Great Zhou, where can it really be lawless?"
The second master clearly remembered the words of the veteran ruffian Zhang Baotai, but although he said so, he obviously didn't have much awe.
Zhang Jinbei glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "General Shuofang hasn't changed people for twelve years. ”
Liu Tugou nodded and said, "My brother is reckless, and the third brother should not take it to heart." ”
As they spoke, the three of them walked along the road in the village through adobe houses that were not by any means delicate but certainly thick, and there were not many people to see on the road, and a few sturdy men in black were scattered in front of the door and under the wall, sitting or standing, playing with the various blades in their hands, occasionally raising their heads to pass an indifferent glance to the three people, but none of them spoke.
The fortress is not very large, and you can see a rare small building made of stone in the center from a distance, which is the same as the common beacon fire and enemy platform in the border state, and can overlook the entire fortress and even the surrounding area of the fortress.
When the three of them walked under the beacon tower, they saw that the stone plaque at the top of the door was simply engraved with two words: "Go first." ”
Zhang Jinbei nodded to the two guards at the door: "New here, is the captain here?"
These two guards were covered with a set of rotten silver armor outside the black robe, tied with a black cloak, and two long knives stuck diagonally behind their waists.
One of them took the letter from General Shuo Fang from Zhang Jinbei's hand, turned around and walked into the first stage.
The other man also didn't say a word, his eyes only swirled around the white horse and green ox behind the three of them, these two mounts were fierce at first glance, but they didn't have reins.
Liu Tugou smiled and turned around: "You two be honest, don't make trouble." ”
Ah Wei snorted and made a grinning face for the second master, Qingniu ignored the second master, and flicked his tail a little boredly.
At this time, the guard who went in to pay his respects came out again and said indifferently: "The captain said that since Zhang San personally brought it over, there is no need to see it, and the two brothers are under the third flag." ”
Yang Xiongji slammed the iron halberd to the ground and said angrily: "What kind of birdman, do you think you are the king of heaven!"
Liu Tugou stopped him, looked at Zhang Jinbei, and said with a smile: "In the future, please ask the third brother to take care of it more." ”
Zhang Jinbei smiled, and before he could speak, he listened to the guard who passed the word and said: "Zhang San, the captain of the school saw that your third flag was badly damaged a few days ago, and specially transferred the two brothers to you, you must understand the meaning of this, in the future, you must control the people under you, and don't teach these troubled people to break the rules." ”
Zhang Jinbei agreed lightly, turned his head and left.
The guard's face was gloomy, and he looked at the angry Yang Xiongji, and sneered: "If you don't want to die unclear, it's better not to ride such a dazzling mount." ”
Liu Tugou grinned and said, "We are provincial." ”
He dragged a Yang Xiong's halberd, and the two of them followed Zhang Jinbei.
"Virtue! Isn't it just that you want us to put our mounts on our hands? I kind of know why the official died so quickly. ”
Zhang Jinbei nodded and said: "Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji, in the future, the two brothers will eat together in the pot of the Third Banner, and there are some things to say ahead." The name letter of the General's Mansion only said that the two of you are the cultivation of the pinnacle of foundation building, and everyone knows this. I don't care what your origin is, what your purpose is, how fast the knife is, how big the face, how high the Taoist line is, how big the job, the first Dengzhai Lieutenant Li military orders are like a mountain, but there is no lack of strength to move the mountain, the reason why it has not become a gangster cottage is because the first guard is still a large surrounding army. ”
Yang Xiongji said impatiently: "Third brother, just say when you can go into battle to fight, I and my second brother are not here to fight for power and profit to support the uncle." ”
His second brother and third brother barked nonsense, making Zhang Jinbei a head shorter than Liu Tugou.
Zhang Jinbei did not show displeasure, and said with a faint smile: "Tomorrow it will be the turn of the third flag to go out to fight the grass valley." ”
Yang Xiongji's color changed suddenly: "The surrounding army also does this kind of thing?"
Two hundred years ago, his Yang ancestors and hundreds of thousands of Zhou people ran south, which was actually caused by a large-scale "grass valley" by the Rong people.
Zhang Jinbei didn't stop, and replied casually: "The little supply of the imperial court is not enough for the villagers to stuff their teeth, so if you don't want to starve to death, you can find a way by yourself." As for whether to rob the caravan civilians or the territory of the big tribes, it is all up to their own ability. ”
Yang Xiongji turned his anger into joy, but he didn't speak again after a while.
With the second master's understanding of this guy, I am afraid that I really dare to find the bad luck of the Rongdi tribe, and if I encounter someone who kills innocents indiscriminately, I definitely don't mind eating black.
"Most of the people in the Third Banner live in Zhaixi, and there are some in other directions. Now there is no big war, there are a lot of empty houses, you are free to do whatever you want, if you like someone else, you can discuss it with the owner. It's just that the dead can be spared, and the bottom line is not to leave half a breath of air left behind with missing arms and legs, which not only embarrass the brothers who enforce the law, but also has no extra food to feed the waste. Tomorrow at dawn, don't miss the hour. ”
After Zhang Jinbei finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked away, and he didn't know if the first guard's control of the sergeant was really so loose and casual, or if there was another means that had not been put on the surface.
Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji stared wide-eyed.
"Second brother, where do we live?" Yang Xiongji asked.
The second master looked back at the first stage, rubbed his fingers on the slaughtering knife, and said a little embarrassedly: "Is it appropriate for the newcomer?"
