Chapter 41: The Virtuous (I)
Yin He received the order from above, and in the surprised and envious eyes of the street managers around him, he left the street management mansion and entered the Xuanwu Guard's barracks. According to the arrangement of the old black turtle guard, he became a member of the Xuanwu Guard patrol team.
Patrols are mainly based on checking the situation, which is commonly referred to as spies, and do not focus on fighting the enemy. Under normal circumstances, if they encounter bandits or other similar powerful enemies outside the Holy City, the patrol is generally allowed to retreat on their own, and the most important thing is to transmit the information back to the Holy City Army, rather than rushing to their deaths with a few of them.
However, despite the patrol's mission, the equipment that should be available was still there, so Yin He received in the barracks the flexible and sturdy armor unique to the human race, a sturdy war horse, and a long knife sharp enough to easily cut off flesh and blood.
I don't know if it's because Yin He is still a newcomer in the army, and the veterans in the Xuanwu Guard look at him with a little contempt, especially the agile seniors who are also in the patrol.
Liu Hai, the leader of the patrol team that led Yin He, compared to those people below, Liu Hai was taken care of by people with bigger backgrounds above, and he knew that Yin He's identity was a little different, but he didn't know much about the origin in his heart.
Bangs didn't show anything about this, anyway, what the boss told him was just going with the flow and doing what he had to do.
He led Yin He all the way over very fairly, and he didn't embarrass him, and even found a good one when he chose a guide for Yin He.
Well, at least he said it was good.
The so-called guides are actually veterans who are familiar with the geography of the neighborhood.
A recruit like Yin He, who is unfamiliar with the place, rashly goes out to patrol, just afraid that he will find a place to find a half-dead, in case he gets lost, plus those dangers outside the holy city in the Great Wilderness, it will be difficult to come back alive.
This veteran was a man named He Qiulin, who looked thin and thin, and seemed to be thirty or forty years old, and after being called over by Liu Hai, he glanced at Yin He, and only nodded to him and didn't say anything more.
The desolate red bear, who often stayed with Yin He these days, and even stayed with him when he was a street manager, did not come with him this time. The apparent reason is that there are no huge armor weapons suitable for the red bear here in the barracks, but Yin He is not a fool, he knows the real scruples behind this high-sounding excuse.
The armor and weapons of the Terrans have never been forbidden for any desolate people to come into contact with them, and they have never been forbidden to join in the combat troops.
This is a military order, a dead rule that was established when the saints of the past were still alive, and it has never been broken for many years.
Yin He is just an ordinary human race, even if he is a child of a noble family who has recently fallen down, he will naturally not go against this kind of iron law in the army, so Chixiong was temporarily sent home by him, and he himself embarked on this dangerous road alone.
※※※
Wealth, fame, and fame are sought in danger.
This is a very popular phrase in the Four Elephants Army, including the officers and leaders, who know it, and they also intentionally or unintentionally help it.
For most soldiers, if they come from an ordinary background in life, then establishing a meritorious career on the battlefield and then climbing up is a clear path in front of them. Although the road is tortuous and difficult, it is easy to die.
When Yin He rode out of the south gate of the Holy City and rushed into the vast and boundless wilderness, he looked at the magnificent scene of the four wilds, and his heart also passed by such words.
In fact, as a child of a family, if it weren't for the middle of the family, there were really very few people who came to serve as soldiers, no matter what, there will always be someone in the holy city to take care of it, and it is not difficult to live a life easily, so why take this risk?
It's just that I heard that the Ji Hou Ji Elder who now occupies a high position and is powerful and powerful Xuanhe, used to work alone when he was young, and he also used to fight in the army for a long time, born and died, established many merits, and promoted with merit, so he slowly made a fortune, and then revitalized the Ji clan and laid an incredible foundation, which can be said to be a legend in today's holy city.
He Qiulin took the Yin River all the way south, and after half a day, he arrived at a wide river.
He pointed to this river and said to the Yin River: "This is one of the eighteen divine rivers, according to the direction, it is the third river in the west, so it is also commonly known as the 'West Three Rivers'." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the vast and fertile land next to the Xisan River, and added, "From here, the surrounding area of about fifty to one hundred miles is almost the territory of the White Horse Tribe. In the future, your task is to patrol and monitor this area, and if there is anything unusual, go back to the city and report it to the captain. ”
The captain in his mouth was the bangs of the day, Yin He heard this, nodded and agreed.
Next, He Qiulin began to patrol along the edge of the territory of the White Horse Tribe with Yin He, this was the first time, he needed to lead Yin He around, and in the future, if there was no accident, Yin He would be alone.
"It will take about two days to circumvent the territory of this tribe, but the territory you are responsible for should be expanded a lot, in short, you will have to walk and see for yourself in the future. No amount of talk I can say here is as good as walking on your own. In the future, you will patrol here for five days, go back to change shifts, rest for five days, and then come back to take over, understand?"
Yin He nodded, indicating that he understood, and the two rode forward and continued to walk.
Seeing that He Qiulin's eyes were still sharp when he walked, and he looked around from time to time, looking very cautious, Yin He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Brother He, I heard that there are also a lot of dangers here, can you tell me about it?"
He Qiulin snorted and said, "I don't come to this place much, and I don't know much......
Before the words fell, he suddenly saw Yin He throwing a money bag on the horse, he reached out to catch it and grabbed it, felt the heavy weight inside, his face suddenly softened, and at the same time said, "What are you doing?"
Yin He said with a smile: "Brother He has worked hard to bring me out this time, and the younger brother has just arrived, and he doesn't know what the rules are, so he has to prepare a little heart, and ask Brother He to buy some drinks and drink them after returning to the Holy City." ”
He Qiulin smiled, casually stuffed the money bag into his arms, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the wasteland ahead, and said, "There are many dangerous things in this wasteland, you listen to me tell you slowly......"
※※※
The Great Wasteland is an ancient land, except for the holy city of the human race, most places have a primitive and reckless atmosphere, including many desolate tribes. After walking on the wasteland for more than a day, Yin He clearly felt this, and after comparing the Great Wasteland with the Terran Holy City in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
There seems to be a world of difference between this human race and the desolate race, but they strangely exist together in this great wasteland, which is really surprising.
He Qiulin did seem to be a veteran who was familiar with the situation in the Great Wasteland, and Liu Hai, the leader of the patrol, did not praise him wrongly, and in the past day or so, he carefully said a lot to Yin He that needed to be paid attention to, which benefited Yin He a lot.
At the end of the second day, the two of them came back in a circle, and the next few days were patrolled by Yin He alone, and He Qiulin went back to the Holy City.
In the army, there is not much weakness at all, even if you are a newcomer, you are treated the same, whether you can live depends on your own ability, and a little luck given by God.
In this way, He Qiulin had already said it to Yin He very calmly, and Yin He also accepted this point of view. However, before parting, he still stopped He Qiulin and asked with a hint of doubt: "Brother He, you have told me so much in the past few days, why have you never mentioned 'desolate thieves'?"
He Qiulin shook his head and said, "Those madmen have nothing to say, if you find the desolate thieves who are robbing the horses, you don't have to do anything, just run away quickly, and then go back to the city to tell our leader." ”
Yin He hesitated for a moment and said, "Can't beat it?"
He Qiulin said: "We can't beat it, especially since we have few patrol people, so we can't fight at all." Those desolate thieves are almost all the strongest strong men among the desolate people, very difficult to deal with, and they are fierce by nature, and they are extremely hostile to us human race, you must not go near them. ”
When he said this, He Qiulin paused, glanced at Yin He, and said, "If you unfortunately fall into their hands in the future, you listen to my words and commit suicide yourself before they catch you." ”
Yin He's face changed slightly, then nodded and said, "I understand, thank you." ”
He Qiulin turned his horse's head and was about to leave here, but at this moment, a melodious sound suddenly came from a distance behind them, and then a long team of horses walked out from the depths of the land of the White Horse Tribe, and the colorful flags fluttered majesticly.
He Qiulin glanced over there, and then said, "That's the patriarch of the White Horse Tribe, he brought a lot of followers, and put on such a big formation, it looks like he is going to the Holy City to do something." ”
"Hmm......" Yin He nodded, and then the two waved goodbye and parted.
It didn't take long for He Qiulin's figure to disappear into the distance, and Yin He also drove his horses and ran towards the land of the White Horse Clan again.
