C32 New Barracks
"Officers and soldiers?" Dongfang Zhongyu was very surprised, he asked: "What are they doing here?" Bi Sihai shook his head, "I don't know! Dozens of people wielding guns and sabers, and I didn't … He didn't dare to ask and quickly came to report to Master. "
"We didn't break the law, so what's there to be afraid of?" Qiu Qiandai said, "Is it Big Bro?" "En, it's fine," Dongfang Zexuan got up and said, "You eat, I'll go take a look." Qiu Qiandai didn't say that he was willing, so he followed him out.
Just as they rounded the bamboo forest, they saw a great number of mounted soldiers standing outside the gate and the wall. The tip of their spears and the edge of their blades shone brightly in the sunlight. Walking to the bridge over the pond, he saw a general in golden armor and a white satin cloak striding in.
"Eh …?" Qiu Qiandai asked in surprise, "Brother, why does this person look so familiar?" Isn't that so! "Where did this small general come from?"
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? " The general had his left hand on the hilt of his saber as he gestured with his right hand, "Why don't the two of you come out and welcome me when I'm here?"
"Chi!" Hearing Princess Baoqing's voice, Qiu Qiandai couldn't help but snort and say, "This is my house. I haven't said yet that you won't be invited to trespass into my house." Dongfang Zhongyue tugged at him, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, did the emperor really give you the title of Jin Chuan Sect's defensive governor?"
"Of course, who asked me to be first!" Princess Baoqing turned to Qiu Qiandai with a cold face, "You stinking brat, how dare you! You are not allowed to come to your house, are you? If you dare to be disrespectful again, how about I have someone capture you? "
"Come on! I'm not afraid at all! " Qiu Qiandai gave him a tit for tat, "I didn't break the law. If you dare to randomly arrest someone, I'll report it to the censor." Forget it, forget it. We're acquaintances, there's no need to bicker! " The more Dongfang Zhong knew about Princess Baoqing's haughty temperament, he hurriedly invited her to come in and have a seat.
Princess Baoqing snorted and said, "If it wasn't for Master Dongfang, I would definitely catch you." Qiu Qiandai raised his head and sneered as he walked towards the back himself.
Dongfang Zhongyue was amused, and changed the topic, "Your Highness, this time you are really impressive. The general is busy with official business, how can he have the free time to come here today? "
"There is nothing to be busy about," Princess Baoqing said as she walked. "The Emperor has made me the Governor and Zhao Hui the Deputy Governor. He will do whatever it is that is necessary. Cluck, cluck … I think we should at least thank Master Dongfang! "
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Dongfang Zhongyu understood that Zhu Di was in love with his little sister, giving her an empty title to play with.
When the two of them entered the backyard, Princess Baoqing saw Qiu Qiandai sitting at the table, so she asked him to move a chair over for her. Qiu Qiandai snorted and said he didn't want to sit down, but who didn't invite him? He was so angry that Princess Baoqing rolled her white eyes at him. In the end, it was still Dongfang Zhong who moved the chair over and calmed down.
Princess Baoqing took out a colorful satin bag and threw it on the table, saying, "This time it's all thanks to Master Dongfang. I'm thanking you for this." Qiu Qiandai couldn't help but twitch his mouth and squint.
He opened the pouch and saw that it was filled with good things, including eight gold ingots, a piece of jasper, three pieces of agate, and two pearls. In addition, there was also a stack of banknotes worth a total of five thousand taels of silver.
Dongfang Zhongyue called Bi Sihai to hand the item over to him, and said: "This is the Jingchuan Sect's garrison commander, the current Emperor's little sister, Princess Baoqing. Next time, the princess will be well received." "Yes, yes …" Bi Sihai stuck out his tongue in shock, repeatedly asking the princess to forgive him for being stingy with his eyes.
Princess Baoqing elegantly waved her hand and said to Qiu Qiandai, "How is it, do you want to become an official? "Come to my place, I will give you Bai Hu Guan as a gift." I don't care! " Qiu Qiandai did not even bother looking at her, "Being a soldier under you, you're so infuriated by the weather!"
"Oh! What do you say? " Princess Baoqing slapped the table and said, "I'm the Governor, how could I bully a little kid like you? Furthermore, I told you not to be a soldier and serve the royal family. You should be proud of that! "
Qiu Qiandai put down his bowl and turned around to walk into the yard. Princess Baoqing continued, "Why did you run? "Are you afraid of me?" Humph! For Elementary Scholars to encounter soldiers, there was no way to explain themselves! Are you very old to say that you are my child? " Qiu Qiandai didn't even look back as he went straight into the yard. Princess Baoqing glared at him a few times in anger …
Ever since then, Princess Baoqing came for a stroll whenever she had nothing to do. Every time she came, she would tease Qiu Qiandai. This was something that she would not mention in the future. In the days of Dongfang Zhongyu's report to the new barracks, Sun and Wu came every day, as did Liu.
He expressed his gratitude on behalf of Han King, saying that he knew that Dongfang Zhongyu had moved to give him two maids as concubines, but that he had been rejected by Dongfang Zhongzhu. Afterwards, he had given him some silk, silk cloth, porcelain bottles, furnishings, and eight thousand taels of silver.
Three to four days passed in the blink of an eye. This was the day Jin Yi Wei Bei Zhen Fu Si's new camp was opened, and the sooner he got up in the east, the more he would wash up and dress up. Although the time was not long, Qiu Qiandai saw him as his own brother and parted with him.
Dongfang Zhongyu was riding a horse to the Jinyi Wei Long Pan Li Acropolis. From afar, he could see that there were dozens of people gathered in front of the City Guards Institution. Although their clothes were different, they were all young people around the age of twenty.
Dongfang Zhongyu tied up his horse and moved it closer to the crowd. After listening for a while, he realized that these people were all candidates, waiting to be called out.
While Dongfang Zhongyu was waiting, he looked around and actually saw a few familiar people: Yang Zhongkun, Wang Tianwei, who had fought in the Waters Tower before, and the second name of the competition, Yue Jiangchuan. He had seen one or two of them before, but he couldn't remember who they were. Most of them were military officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard wearing flying fish uniforms …
As soon as the time came, the entrance to the City Guards Institution was opened wide. The dark-faced Golden Sand Rock walked out and loudly said, "Stop talking, let's begin the roll call." With that, he stood in front of the crowd.
Another middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a hundred households stood on the stone steps as he held a roll of paper in his hand and said, "Whoever I order will be lined up on the right side. If you don't call for it, then just don't get selected. Listen... "Heal in the East!"
Dongfang Zhong didn't expect to be number one. He hesitated for a moment before answering and then walked to the open field to the right. The next person to be called was Yang Zhongkun. He walked over and greeted Dongfang Zhongyue, saying that they would be good friends from now on. The more Dongfang Zhong gave a faint smile, neither denying nor denying anything … "Hahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…
The line quickly expanded. Yue Jiangchuan, Wang Tianwei, and Jin Sandstone all stood up and stopped after shouting 58 people. There were still 20-30 people who hadn't been called out yet. They either sighed or cursed softly …
After fifty-eight people were selected, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard led them out immediately. The new barracks was located outside of the east gate of Nanjing, under the purple gold mountain. It didn't take two hours for them to arrive at a distance of twenty miles.
Looking from afar, the purple mountain was lush and verdant. Even though the mountain was not towering enough, it was still majestic and tall. Clouds and clouds lingered around the main peak as purple mist rose from it, giving it an aura of immortals.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a camp. Dozens of tents were arranged in a neat row. Everyone could not help but discuss what kind of training was awaiting them.
As soon as everyone entered the camp, they were immediately lined up. After the fifty-eight people had lined up, a person walked out of the largest tent. This person was as tall as a cylinder and as round as a bucket. He was so fat that he could barely walk. It was indeed Pang Ying.
Pang Ying walked in front of everyone and stood still. She waved her hand and said, "Welcome to the new army camp. I am Pang Ying and Sheng Lingming, who are in charge of the new army camp. Let us speak of the earlier days of the camp today. There are those among you who have done well in the martial arts, those who have held high positions as fathers and brothers, and those who have done well in the service and in the name of achievement. What I want to tell you is: Throw away all those things! If you want to get into the North Slave Division...
I, Pang Ying, will treat all of you equally. No one has any privileges. And to tell you that the training must have been hard, that it was unthinkable, that anyone who can't stand it can go, that the gates of the new barracks will never be closed. But you should remember this, if you want to go out, you can just come in! "
After Pang Ying finished her lecture, someone arranged accommodation for the new recruits. The arrangement was very special, as there were five people in each tent who lived in the same quarters as the new recruits. As long as they didn't have any acquaintances, the military officers assigned to the new recruits would casually place five new residences in the tent.
He had a good impression of Yue Jiangchuan. Coincidentally, there were only three people in the last tent, and the other one was Jin Shazhi. As soon as the three of them reported their names to each other, a military officer brought them food. Each tent had a large bowl of rice and a small bowl of dishes, which they divided among themselves.
Rice was white rice and vegetables were fried meat. It seemed like there was even more meat than vegetables. Dongfang Zhongyue didn't eat in the morning, so he ate immediately after serving his meal. He only ate two mouthfuls when he suddenly stopped to look at Yue Jiangchuan and saw that Yue Jiangchuan had stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.
Yue Jiangchuan felt his gaze and said with a grin, "I'm not a monk. It's normal for me to eat meat."
Dongfang Zhongyue shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, just afraid that you wouldn't be used to it." Hehe … "How can there be a monk that doesn't eat meat?" Jin Shazhi said, "There's a Temple of Gonghui in my hometown. Monks there need to eat meat every few days."
"Is that so?" Dongfang Zhongyu was surprised and curious. "Where did they get the meat? To the market? "
"A monk still wants to buy his own meat?" Jin Shazhi did not hesitate to eat, "It's all to encourage the believers of Buddhism to set free food, for example, ducks, chickens, geese, and fishes. They are to be caught during the day and eaten at night. "Those monks are both treacherous and treacherous, they are definitely not from the east …" Suddenly realizing that there was a monk sitting beside him, he quickly shut his mouth.
Yue Jiangchuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't take me for a monk. It was wrong to say that his family was ignorant, and he should be scolded! But we never do that sort of thing. We roasted ourselves with wild game. "
The more Dongfang Zhong listened, the more he laughed to himself. He thought, "No wonder you don't feel uncomfortable eating meat." As soon as the bowl of food was eaten, a group of numbers suddenly sounded outside the tent. The three of them quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went outside.
Pang Ying had long stood in front of the camp and waited for everyone to arrive before saying, "When we hear the gathering horn from now on, we must hurry here within the next ten years or we'll be eliminated." The first thing I want to do is start the training. The new recruits followed his finger and looked over, and all of them were shocked...
