Chapter 143: Soldiers First, Salute Later
Chapter 143
In Anbei City, in the courtyard of the county magistrate's mansion, hundreds of men were standing in groups and talking in a low voice, without any rules and order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Completely different from the hundreds of men is the five hundred armored soldiers of the blue wolf battalion on the other side of the courtyard, under the leadership and command of Miao Zhan, although they have stood in the courtyard for a whole afternoon, they still have not the slightest movement, and even their breathing is basically in a rhythm.
Lin Wenjun, the governor of Jingzhou, stood in front of the team, and Zhao Mingde, the governor of Anbei City, was next to his right hand. Zhao Mingde may have been a little tired from standing, and whispered behind Lin Wenjun, "Lord Lin, didn't the adults say that they would come back today? Take a break?"
Lin Wenjun scolded: "Don't you want to wear the black gauze hat on your head? If he comes back and sees that we are not there, he will behead us all in a fit of rage like the magistrate of Taikang City, who will we talk to?" Zhao Mingde, Zhao Mingde, have you been a fool for so many years? Although the official position of the imperial envoy Qin Cha has no grade, you must know that Qin Cha is one level higher no matter where he goes to see the official, and besides, he still has a holy decree in his hand that will be cut first and then played, and if you stand all afternoon and shout that you are tired, am I not tired?"
Zhao Mingde said with a grudge on his face, "I'm just talking."
Lin Wenjun didn't pay attention to Zhao Mingde anymore, but the two hundred and five city guards still couldn't control their mouths and discussed:
"You said that we had been waiting here all afternoon, why hasn't Lord Lin come yet? ”
"Don't complain, you see that the five hundred people over there came earlier than us."
"We can't compare with them, they are regular royal guards, how can we compare to them as ordinary city guards" Although he said so, the man's face was disdainful.
"By the way, Lord Lin gathered us together, what the hell are you doing, why did I hear that people said that they were going to exterminate the Ghost Sword Tomb?"
"How is it possible! How can the Ghost Knife Tomb be called a force in the rivers and lakes, with our people, how can it be possible to exterminate them?"
"But ......"
As he was talking, there were suddenly several horse barks outside the house.
Lin Wenjun and Zhao Mingde immediately stood up straight, not daring to be sloppy.
The four war horses broke into the door, and after entering the courtyard, the four of Bufan immediately turned over and dismounted, and the five hundred armored soldiers of the blue wolf battalion immediately shouted in unison, "I've seen Budusi!"
Bu Fan raised his hand to signal, walked straight to Lin Wenjun, and said to the two hundred and fifty people who were still talking, "Before entering the courtyard, I heard a commotion inside, and I thought that I had gone to the wrong place and arrived at the vegetable market. But when I entered the courtyard, I saw the five hundred armor soldiers of the Blue Wolf Battalion and realized that I was not wrong, I want to ask you, where do you think this is?
The two hundred and fifty people slowly quieted down, and only after a loud sound did a big man come out and retort, "We have been waiting here all afternoon, and it is wrong to say that the conversation is wrong...... Is it?"
Before the words fell, Bu Fan directly interrupted, "What qualifications do you have to come forward to refute me, Lord Lin, Lord Zhao, and neither of them have spoken, why should you come forward." If not, starting today, I will add a rule to you -- those who commit the following offenses will be immediately beheaded! If you don't believe it, I still have a holy decree in my bosom that can be cut down first and then played, do you want to take a look?"
...... The crowd was silent.
Seeing this, Lin Wenjun finally stepped forward and said, "Master Bu, these two hundred and fifty people are good hands selected by the lower officials from the city guards of various cities and counties in Jingzhou, and even the lowest realm has four grades of entering the martial realm, and please supervise Lord Bu."
"I know, what realm they are, I know at a glance" Before he finished speaking, he looked at the man who was in his early teens just now, and asked in a deep voice, "What is your name?"
"Thunder, the main city of Jingzhou" The man's tone was still arrogant.
Bu Fan stepped forward, stopped less than a foot away from the man, and said word by word, "Is it the strength of the Eight Grades of the Martial Realm that gives you the confidence to talk to me like this?"
The man named Lei Ting was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously surprised that Bu Fan saw through his strength at a glance.
"Enter the martial arts realm eight pins, heh, believe it or not, I can fight in two breaths, you can't get up on the ground"
Although Lei Ting is just a city guard, he is also a bit famous in Jingzhou City, and he has already become a leader among hundreds of city guards, because of the relationship between the martial arts realm, ordinary officials will be more polite when they see him, but today is the first time he has been scolded so badly. After listening to Bufan's words, he didn't believe it, but he still said disdainfully, "Xiao is naturally not as good as Lord Qincha, but since the Lord is so powerful, what did you call us to do?"
"That's right, I did have something to do with calling you here, and some of you should already know about it, so I'll just say it, I did let you come for the sake of the Ghost Sword Tomb."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd chattered again.
"My lord, aren't you joking, how can we rely on the two hundred and two of us to exterminate the Ghost Sword Tomb?"
Bu Fan was not annoyed, he had already guessed that someone would say this, so he pointed to the more than 500 people in the blue wolf camp and said, "Naturally, more than 200 of you are not enough, so I brought 500 Royal Forest Army to help."
Speaking of this, Thunder spoke again, "Heh, just by them? It's just that the surface archway is good-looking, and it's not necessarily useless when it's about to fight?"
"Oh, do you think you're better than my Guards brothers?"
Thunder still said disdainfully, "Except for the centurion at the head of the row, the others are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals."
After Bu Fan heard this, he sneered and shouted "Huang Zhong" loudly
Huang Zhong, who was in the front row of the "in" team, immediately responded loudly.
"Dequeue"
"Yes"
Bu Fan pointed at the thunder and said, "This person said that among the five hundred brothers of our Royal Forest Army, except for Miao Zhan, who has already controlled the Qi Realm, the others are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Huang Zhong, what do you think?"
Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "The frog at the bottom of the well, when our blue wolf battalion goes to the battlefield, he should still drink milk in his mother's arms."
"You!" Looking at the age, Huang Zhong is only about twenty, and the realm is at most comparable to himself, Lei Ting is a man in his thirties, how can he be so slandered.
Seeing this, Bu Fan added fuel and vinegar and said, "His name is Huang Zhong, he should have just turned nineteen years old this year, just like you, but he should have just broken through to the eighth rank of the martial arts realm in the past three days, looking at your posture, he should want to do it." ”
"Hmph, do you want to stop it?"
"No, no, no, in our blue wolf camp, if anyone is not convinced, two people will fight directly, I will not care, as for who is right and who is wrong, it is always justified. ”
"What do you mean, sir?"
"You fight him, you win, I will not only let you go back, but also apologize to you, but if you lose......"
"Heh, I lost, whatever the adults do" Thunder seemed to be very confident in his own strength.
The corners of Bu Fan's mouth hooked slightly, and he said to the remaining two hundred and forty-nine people, "You are the same, choose a person with the same realm from my blue wolf camp to fight with him at will, if you win, it will be the same, not only let you go back, but I will personally apologize to you." ”
The remaining 249 people were all talking in twos and threes, as if they wanted to see the situation first.
Bu Fan cleared his throat and continued, "Come on, come on, give them two a place to come out, and you will be a witness on the side, so as not to say that I have gone back on my word." ”
The blue wolf camp and the city guards immediately leaned on both sides, vacating a large area, as for Lin Wenjun and Zhao Mingde, they naturally would not interfere.
Huang Zhong did not have the slightest fear, and took two steps forward with a bright silver spear, and Lei Ting also held a spear and hurriedly stepped forward.
Bu Fan was not nervous, in fact, he was already confident about the result. When he was in the Imperial Forest Army, although Bu Fan only stayed for seven days, Huang Zhong followed Bu Fan in the next few days, and Bu Fan naturally gave a few tips during the morning exercise, plus Huang Zhong had a high understanding, and his progress was extremely rapid. After all, Bu Fan is a person who came from the Martial Realm, and he is very clear about the strength of the Eight Grades of the Martial Realm, so the victory or defeat can be known at a glance.
But Thunder didn't have such insight, relying on his anger to go straight up.
Bu Fan whispered to Gu Yu behind him, "Pay attention to Huang Zhong's movements, although his realm is not high, his moves are very clean, and you can learn from one or two." ”
Gu Yu bowed his head.
On the field, it is imminent!
