The mountain road is winding and cramped, only allowing three or five horses to ride in parallel, although it is deep but not steep, the bluestone and green trees on both sides are shaded, and only a small sky can be seen overhead.
Liu Tugou and Xiong Feibai walked side by side, with three hundred black crows behind them, but the Hengshan Golden Gun Iron Rider did not follow.
The second master looked around, not caring about the faint and cold gaze cast from time to time in the mountains and forests, but shook his head a little disapprovingly: "Old Xiong, why did this Hengshan Zuoying choose such a ghost place, it is not like a military camp, but like a bandit village!"
He just teased casually, and the corners of Xiong Feibai's mouth, who didn't want to be called "Old Bear", twitched, but he was quite agreeable, and nodded: "This place was called Wusheath Valley in ancient times, shaped like a scabbard, as long as it is stuck in the valley mouth, it can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was originally a very powerful bandit village." After the king waved the army to suppress the level, saw that the mountains were rich in iron ore, he played the Son of Heaven, specially used for casting and storing weapons, the place name was changed to the arrow furnace, and later the white horse camp moved here, so it was called the white horse village again. ”
When Xiong Feibai said the sentence "The Son of Heaven is clear", he deliberately accentuated his tone, which was very solemn and extremely respectful, and finally when he mentioned the White Horse Camp, there was a little disdain to hide the contempt in his tone, but also a faint trace of imperceptible envy.
Liu Tugou smiled when he heard this, along the way, the black crow guard more or less heard some details of the military town of Beidingfu, and naturally knew why Xiong Feibai was like this.
The biggest reason why a vassal king with such seniority, prestige, ability, merit, and great power as King Zhending can stand tall is that he has always been obedient to the Son of Heaven. Xiong Feibai, as Lao Wang's henchman, is naturally cautious in his words and deeds in front of the second master's "edict minions", and never forgets to show loyalty to his own king.
As for the White Horse Battalion, it is extremely special among the so-called Hengshan Iron Cavalry Army.
When the world mentions the Hengshan Iron Cavalry, most of them refer to the 3,000 invincible and dazzling Golden Gun Heavy Cavalry in the Hengshan camp, and the two sub-villages of the left and right battalions, which are located in remote and extremely low-key areas, are relatively little known.
The left village is a white horse, and the right village is a front.
The Xuanfeng battalion is a light cavalry scout, the most elite and brave, the soldiers are all innocent and good-born, and even many are loyal martyrs after the meritorious service, every battle must charge ahead, the casualties are extremely serious, can be called the dare to die. However, if you can not die, there are relatively more opportunities for meritorious service, and after a few years, you may be transferred to the Golden Gun Battalion of the Chinese Army as a substantive officer, which is an extremely dangerous and rapid entry level, and it is also the most solid and heavy qualification in the Hengshan Army.
Don't lick blood from the knife edge of the Xuanfeng Camp for a few years, no matter how heroic your Lao Tzu is, you don't want to really stand out in the Hengshan Camp. To put it mildly, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is so relieved of Uncle Wang, Xuanfeng Battalion, a flesh and blood mill called Hengshan Meritorious Jiangmen, which has declined in one or two generations, can be said to be a great achievement, which can not only ensure that the combat power does not fall, but also will not appear for several generations, intertwined local noble forces form a party to control the place, no matter how elite the Hengshan Iron Cavalry is, the number of people is there, where is the confidence to collude together to resist the imperial court?
In contrast, the foundation of the White Horse Camp is not so clean, and most of the soldiers are Northland rangers who have taken refuge in the palace. Most of these people are skilled in martial arts, heroic and righteous, but they are unruly by nature, and they are inextricably linked with the green forests of the Northland, which is really a double-edged sword.
The background is not good, and the people in the White Horse Camp are struggling in their careers, but guarding the gold and silver mountains of the arrow furnace, and suppressing the green forest for the old prince, the feet of oil and water do not ask, and when I look at it today, even Xiong Feibai and other royal henchmen can't help but blush.
The selection of the front of the dead to pay a high position, the white horse righteous to pay a generous reward, and then to the right camp of the talent, the left camp of the wealth of the supply of the Chinese army iron cavalry, can be said to make the best use of each, each show their talents, really sure that the old king has the usable use, but also can avoid the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, such a means, as the tip of the iceberg in the eyes of outsiders, is enough to make people admire.
Liu Tugou has been commanding a battalion of troops for several months, and he has some experience, knowing that it is difficult to govern the army, and the longer the number of people, the more difficult it is.
For the black crows under his command, most of the time he does not ask about right and wrong, good and evil, and he will suppress them with his strength, and will never tolerate and condone them, but he has also tried to appease people's hearts with kindness and righteousness, pull people out of the bitter prison, teach the slaughter and forging art to be widely taught, and even teach the inspiration and experience to the elite of the black crows including Ren Xichou and other demon gate heroes, there is such a courage that ordinary people can't rush to, which makes hundreds of black crows gradually become one, as for the trivial things like chasing and killing Yangquanzi for hundreds of miles in order to save the little medicine boy and avenge a few black crows, it is very ordinary in comparison.
It's just that I don't know if supernatural figures such as the town prison marquis can tolerate Liu Tugou to treat the black crow as his own one-third of an acre of land?
Thinking of this, the second master couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, when can you be invincible?"
The two lieutenants of each mind rode around a big bluestone blocking the road, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and saw a tall walled gate built between two mountains, built with a huge cyan strip of stone, and there were many slippery mosses growing on the bluestone, and the arrow tower was laid out on the mountain on both sides of the walled gate, called the cottage, in fact, it was no less than a Xiongguan.
The gate of the village is wide open, there is a person standing alone in front of the door, white horse gold ornaments, hanging bow and hanging knife, looking at it from afar, you will feel that the bearing is extraordinary.
Behind him, he could faintly see the fire blazing, and the sound of clanging iron tools came from afar, a prosperous and busy scene.
Xiong Feibai said in a low voice: "That is Xiao Xuanqi, the captain of the left guard of Hengshan Mountain and the owner of the White Horse Village, who used to be a great man in the green forest. ”
Xiao Xuanqi on the opposite side saw the black crow team, and with a laugh, he urged his mount to gallop over: "Brother Feibai, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why, don't you look down on my noisy blacksmith shop in Baima Village?"
Xiong Feibai smiled and hugged his fists and said: "What did Brother Xiao say, the arrow furnace is a confidential place, how dare Xiong come to the door if he is not on official business by the king?"
Liu Tugou watched silently, and saw the middle-aged appearance of Xiao Xuanqi, his temples were slightly dyed with frost, but he was strong, his wolf waist was strong, his whole body was full of muscles and bones, his eyes were shining, and he had a unique spirit of young people, which showed that his ambition still existed, and he was worthy of his heroic nature.
Xiao Xuanqi rode to the front, also hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "Brother Feibai is the heart and humerus of the prince, what is the reason why I have some secrets here, why can't I come?"
He looked at Liu Tugou again, and his eyes showed a strange light: "This must be the young hero who slashed the flag with a knife and caused Helan Khan to flee north in a hurry?"
Liu Tugou was stunned when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Brother Xiao has heard of me?"
Xiao Xuanqi laughed: "The reputation of Brother Liu and the black crows under his command has long been spread in the north, although Xiao is closed here, it is already like thunder!"
