Chapter 51: The White Tiger Hall (I)
Outside the Taiping Gate, the breeze is gentle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the pavilion on the side of the road, the two sat side by side, and their expressions were a little gloomy.
Lin Su also sighed lightly, raised his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "Brother, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles! ”
Bai Cheng also drank the wine in the cup and said: "Little brother hereby wishes Brother Lin a smooth journey, he will meet one day and get drunk." ”
Lin Su also laughed and said, "Brother, I have traveled to the rivers and lakes this time, and it is worth the trip to be able to have a fellowship with my brother." ”
In the midst of the long laughter, Lin Su also got up and left the pavilion, strode forward, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
Bai Cheng stood in the pavilion, looking stunned, and stopped for a long time before walking towards Jianye City.
There were still a few days left before the stipulated time limit for the White Tiger Hall report, and Bai Cheng didn't know what to do for a while. Although he took over the appointment of the Blue Heaven Academy, there was no follow-up, and he didn't know how Huang Tiandao arranged for him.
Seeing that there was nothing at hand, he simply took a good tour around Jianye City, took a look at the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, forgot the troubles in his heart, and placed his affection between the mountains and rivers.
During this period, Bai Cheng went to a famous weapon shop in Beijing and equipped the Northern Sword with a fine ebony scabbard. The black line fire tail was brought back to the five bucket rice road by Lin Su, but because the black line fire tail is a different species in the world, and the usual weapon shop can't concoct it at all, and this snake has always been unique to the Shengchen Pavilion, so he took it out rashly, in case he was recognized, it would be another storm.
In the early morning of this day, Bai Cheng changed into a scribe's dress, put on a cyan suit, stepped on multi-eared hemp shoes, hung the Northern Underworld Sword on his waist, carried a blue cloth burden, strode towards the west of Jianye City.
For the trip to the White Tiger Hall, Bai Cheng had already mentioned that it was very spiritual, and it was only regarded as a battle of life and death.
When he was in Sanhe Mansion that day, Sun Feilong once said that because of the limited number of places in the Hualong Pool, Shen Chongtian, the deputy head of the White Tiger Hall, had already intended to suppress the candidates recommended by the Jianghu lineage, and wanted to deprive these people of the qualifications to enter the Hualong Pool.
Bai Cheng is determined to win the Dragon Pool, and will never allow this opportunity to slip through his hands. He was fully prepared to have a vicious battle with the family represented by Shen Chongtian.
Out of Jianye City, Bai Cheng asked along the way, and arrived at the location of the White Tiger Hall in less than half an hour.
Baihutang is nominally in the capital, but its actual location is fifty miles away from the west of Beijing, which is farther away from the capital than the Gongji Army to which Baicheng nominally belongs.
This is because although the White Tiger Hall is only a training academy for martial artists in the army, and the students sent by various armies are also in the circle, the number is not small. In particular, those who can come here are all masters who are one in a thousand, and if these people are taken advantage of, once they cause chaos, even the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing may not be able to suppress them. Therefore, the bigwigs in Beijing unanimously decided to put the White Tiger Hall outside the city.
Coming to the White Tiger Hall, Bai Cheng couldn't help but gasp, he thought that the White Tiger Hall was just a small hall in the name of the hall, at most it was just a manor, but he never expected that the White Tiger Hall was actually a big camp!
The White Tiger Hall camp stretches for several miles, with a clear banner and strict armor. A tall stone wall surrounded the camp, and this stone wall was more than three feet high and one zhang wide, and it was made of stone strips more than three feet long. Beyond the stone wall is a moat, more than three feet wide, sparkling and bottomless, connected to the living water of the nearby river.
There are only four or five well-guarded gates in the whole camp for the sergeants to enter and exit, and on both sides of the camp gates are erected hardwood arrow towers, which are seven or eight zhang high, and more than ten sergeants are on duty on them.
Suspension bridges were built at the gates of several camps, and the suspension bridges were more than two zhang wide, which were lowered when someone passed, and hung high when no one passed.
"Boom, boom" two crisp sounds, two sharp arrows shot in front of Bai Cheng like lightning, and the arrow body shook non-stop.
"Who is coming, dare to come to my White Tiger Hall to peep into the camp?" a loud shout came from above the arrow tower.
Bai Cheng looked up, and the more than ten sergeants on the arrow towers on both sides all showed fierce eyes, holding strong bows in their hands, and the tips of their arrows pointed directly at him. Looking at this situation, the two arrows just now were just warnings, and if you don't answer a word well, a rain of arrows will follow.
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Captain Bai Cheng, Gongji Military Academy, come to the White Tiger Hall to report!"
"Gongji Army?
"The Taiwei Mansion credential is here!"
"You're waiting!"
"Obey the order!"
Several archers on the arrow tower did not relax, and the long arrows in their hands were still pointing at Baicheng.
After a while, the drawbridge at the gate of the camp was slowly lowered, and then, a small crack opened in the side door, and a burly sergeant walked out of the camp gate quickly, crossed the drawbridge, and came to Baicheng.
Bai Cheng handed over the letterhead.
The sergeant took the letterhead, did not look at it, and turned to the main camp.
After another stick of incense, the side door opened again, and the sergeant walked out of the camp, smiling, and shouted, "Check that it is correct, please enter the camp with Captain Bai." ”
Bai Cheng nodded and walked slowly towards the camp.
It was only at this time that several archers on the arrow tower put down their bows and arrows in their hands, and the military orders of the large battalion were strictly organized, which can be seen.
Stepping into the camp, the sergeant who had just received the letter stood behind the camp gate and said, "Captain Bai, please come with me." ”
Bai Cheng nodded, and followed the sergeant towards the inside of the camp.
In the camp, it was quiet, and along the way, except for a few soldiers who were patrolling, no one moved.
Bai Cheng asked casually, "What is this big brother called?"
The sergeant turned his head and said, "Captain Bai is polite, just call me Zheng Qi." ”
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Zheng Qi's right hand, secretly stuffed a silver ingot, and said, "Brother Zheng has worked hard, where are we going?"
Zheng Qi was stunned, and then felt a hard and heavy thing stuffed over, and he didn't understand it in his heart, so he whispered: "Captain Bai, how can this be made!"
Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Zheng has led the way hard, and the younger brother has just arrived, and he is not familiar with life, but he is just talking about his heart, don't mind." ”
Zheng Qiyu swept his eyes, and seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly put the silver ingot in his pocket and said with a smile: "Captain Bai, we are our own brothers, if you have anything to say, just ask, why bother to come to these ways." ”
Bai Cheng smiled: "Brother Zheng, where are we going now?"
Zheng Qi said with a smile: "Captain Bai is a student who came here for further study, unlike us soldiers who come here on duty, and it is a little more troublesome to go through the procedures. We have to go to the church to visit today's guard, get the waist card for entering and leaving the camp, and then go to the recording hall to record, if there is still time, it is best to visit the head teacher of the hall, Mr. Lu, to leave an impression in his old man's home. ”
Bai Cheng smiled and said: "It's still Brother Zheng who said carefully, the younger brother has never served in the army, and this is the first time he has come back to the military camp to study, I don't know what the regulations of our White Tiger Hall are." ”
When Zheng Qi heard this, he stopped and said in surprise: "It turns out that Captain Bai is not a person in the army, so it seems that he must have a stunt!" )
