It was not until this moment that a group of soldiers appeared from all around and realized that behind Captain Jia, there was also a tall horse with a black mane. When he raised his hoof, the muscles of his front shoulders were like the water of a river rolling, and his body was moving all over the body. Unexpectedly, there is no trace of color, and it is as majestic as a mountain. It is raising its eyes to look around, and it is full of spirituality when looking at it.
Most sons and daughters love horses. Even if they are used to being killed, seeing a strong horse is like seeing a fine sword with a handle that has been forged thousands of times. Not to mention that there has always been a shortage of good horses in Yizhang's army. Ordinary horses cannot bear the burden of marching on the battlefield. If you want to buy horses from Dayuan, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, and it will cost more money. It is not easy to build an iron cavalry. , it is completely impossible for one man and one horse in the army to do it.
Therefore, although the hundreds of soldiers had just woken up, their whole bodies and spirits were shaken up, and they kept looking at the dark horse.
But for a moment, no one paid attention to the slightly pale woman sitting upright.
"Outsiders have a lot of potential in front of them. Look at the expressions on your faces. They are even hotter than when you see a mother-in-law. How decent is that?" Colonel Jia scolded, taking out a stack of cloth and silk herbs from the soldier's waist, looking around, and picked out He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that everything is packed and ready for the road, what are you doing here? The delay on the road has been too long. If Master Lin blames me, military law is unforgiving, so don't expect me to show mercy."
After all, Lieutenant Jia had a lot of authority on weekdays, and if the escort officer delayed for too long, he would indeed be punished by military law. Therefore, the soldiers of the 16th Army sang "Nai" one after another and left slowly behind the car tent.
After half a stick of incense, only two horses were left on the spot, the captain and the woman.
"Now that we are the only two left, why don't we discuss it first? Using immortal methods to coerce an ordinary soldier like me is not an upright act after all." The captain turned his head and spread his hands, "I saw the immortal being attacked first. Arrow, I just took the herbs from my comrades, but other than that I am unarmed, people from the Immortal Family should never take action against ordinary people."
The woman's face was pale and she was lying on the horse's back. It looked like she was slightly injured, but she still pointed at the captain thirty or fifty steps away with one hand and never relaxed.
"Ordinary soldiers may not have the means to attack and kill second-level cultivators," the woman forced a sneer, "Besides, the car tent is extremely luxurious. If it is not a very important official in the dynasty, who can be worthy of such a special trip?" When we meet, we are escorted by just over a hundred soldiers, how can we call them ordinary soldiers?"
The school captain hesitated. The woman in front of him was still young, but her eyesight was not weak. With just a glance, she could see the abnormalities in it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "The previous killing of the second-level cultivator was considered a rescue by us." , otherwise, based on the girl’s injuries and her initial cultivation, she might be caught up by those horse thieves if she walks a few miles. Since the girl is in the world, she must have heard of the vicious reputation of horse thieves, and we are willing to help. , this was a kind act, but if he took action, it would be unjustifiable."
Half an hour later, the school captain urged his horse to catch up with the team. The woman accompanying him slowly followed only ten feet away from the end of the team. She wrapped the injured area with silk herbs alone and moved forward slowly.
The captain sat down and his horse kept walking, chasing to the center of the army, and gently knocked on the edge of the carriage tent.
Lin Pixiu slept very well last night. When he heard the banging sound, he opened the curtain and looked outside.
"Mr. Lin, the woman who was chased by the horse thieves earlier said that she wanted to go with the team. I asked her about the intention of her trip, but the girl only said that she came from Dayuan and was going to Nangong Mountain in Xijun. , seeking a teacher to visit the Tao, but he was obstructed at every turn by people's designs, and he thought that his words were trustworthy."
Jia Xiaowei was very good at handling horses. Although he was just an ordinary horse and his foot strength was not as strong as that of the woman's mount, he could still keep pace with the chariot tent and always keep pace with the chariot tent window lattice.
Hearing this, Lin Pixiu frowned, thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, but his voice was very low, barely covering the sound of the rolling carriage, "Why did that woman still go to Nangong Mountain when she was already on the path of spiritual practice?" Looking for a teacher to visit? The traces of the flying sword a while ago were clearly heading towards Nangong Mountain. It was at this critical moment when chaos arose. If the woman was not seeking a teacher, but wanted to do harm to Nangong Mountain, she happened to If you succeed, the Immortal Family, which has the most profound foundation in Yizhang Kingdom, will be in trouble, how can you and I afford it?"
After all, he knew the way of being an official, and in a few words, he explained all the pros and cons, which made Captain Jia frown again and again.
If this woman is indeed from the first realm, it is not difficult to say that if she wants to harm Nangong Mountain, it is easier to mobilize twenty or so soldiers to stick close to them than to kill the people in the second realm; but if Women are just hiding their realm, so the relationship is naturally not the same.
"In your opinion, Mr. Lin, I have made proper arrangements for my humble duty. If it is a critical moment, I can at least protect you and escape." Jia Xiaowei bowed, turned his horse's head and left.
Lin Pixiu thought of something, and quickly called out to the former. He passed the jade bottle and said with a smile, "I saw that young soldier two days ago. He seemed to have twisted a muscle when he was wading through mountains and rivers. When I left Huixi, I wanted to prevent him from getting injured on the way. My back is sore and numb, so I brought three or five bottles of medicinal oil with me in the car tent. I got the prescription from the imperial doctor's pavilion. I won't need it for a while, so I gave it to the soldier as a token of my kindness."
Captain Jia, who was sitting upright on the horse, tightened his lips and replied after a long while, "It's no longer needed. When Bai Xiaowu was fighting to the death with the cultivators of the second realm, he asked people to use magical powers to chop half of his body into pieces, and the gods also saved him. He didn’t look back, but he chopped the knife into the back of the man’s head, and he deserved to die.”
Lin Pixiu was in a daze for a moment, and when he looked at the captain on the horse again, the latter had already urged the horse to leave.
It was clearly three o'clock in the morning, and it was still far from the time to drink. Lin Pixiu took the gourd that had not been uncorked yesterday and drank a sip of wine.
Human life is like dew in the morning. Maybe one day the sun will rise high and life or death will be decided.
At dawn the next day, the carriage slowly passed through the gate of Xijun. Jia Xiaowei handed the document to the gatekeeper. The latter quickly called on the men and pulled up the city gate, not caring about the last minute. The rules of Kaicheng: How can the humble defenders of the city offend the nobles and officials transferred from the imperial capital of Huixi? Therefore, I just want to remind you not to make a loud noise, but to direct people to open the city gate.
But before the soldiers guarding the city could take action, a fat man in noble clothes walked out of the carriage tent. Instead of being as bossy as the soldiers guarding the city had imagined, he walked closer and said calmly, "Since it's The rules of the West County should be followed by the official. They cannot only be effective for the people. In that case, the problem has already been taken before he takes office. It is not bad to open the city at the same time as usual and rush on the horse for more than ten days. Now there are just a few sticks of incense, just wait."
Having said this, the soldiers guarding the city had no choice but to say anything more. They had no choice but to order their comrades on the side to stop their movements for the time being and wait until Mao hour before taking action again. All the big officials said this, but it couldn't make the new official lose the support of the people when he first arrived, so he had no choice but to do this.
"Master Lin, you are very clever." Colonel Jia jumped off his horse and glanced at Lin Pixiu with a slightly surprised look. The latter stood outside the city gate with his hands hanging down.
Lin Pixiu stared at the city gate sling in front of him, "When I went to Huixi and was promoted to the third rank in succession, when I heard for the first time that I was going to the court to meet the emperor, I couldn't sleep for two days in a row. I went out late at night and insisted on being in the city. After walking around three or five times, and now I see the city gate again, I am really touched."
"If Brother Jia sees me acting like this again in the future, it's not a good means, but a habit. That means I'm a good official."
It was not far from Mao Shi. Many people who had left the city for business and visiting relatives the day before yesterday also walked under the city gate. When they looked at the official, their eyes were filled with doubts. But then they looked at the hundreds of solemn soldiers behind the chariot tent. , in the end no one dared to step forward.
Huixi City Gate, Xijun City Gate.
Outside the two city gates, one is a young official who has been living in poverty for many years. Although he is not in shape, he has absolutely no body fat, and the other is a middle-aged official who has been in the court for a long time and is well-dressed and well-educated.
But both of them behaved themselves, standing outside the city gate with their hands hanging down.
