The Golden Age Chapter 900: Explore

Yu Wen Chengchao nodded and smiled: "Today you rest first, and turn around to let you know what Fire Thunder is, and I will discuss with you in detail about the preparation of the Fire Thunder Army."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a stern sound from the horizon. Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao got up almost at the same time and rushed out quickly. The soldiers in the camp also gathered quickly. Above the arrow tower, the archer was already preparing to draw the bow, and the other soldiers were holding knives in their hands, and quickly rushed toward the wooden fence to the north.

Sikong Ling didn't know what happened, but knew that the situation must be urgent, so she didn't talk nonsense, and rushed forward.

At this time, not only Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao, but the other soldiers in the military camp heard the screaming sound and knew what was going on.

Long Rui military camp is only more than a hundred miles away from the Heishan Mountains. From the first day of entering the Songyang pasture, Long Ruijun always guarded against the sudden attack of the black mountain bandits. Therefore, the military camp was not only surrounded by wooden fences, but also On the inner side of the wooden fence, horse-rejecting piles were also set up to build fortifications as much as possible.

In addition, around the Songyang Grassland, there are also eye whistles day and night. These eye whistles are paired with two, and they are all good at archery. Each is equipped with a ringing arrow. Whenever an enemy is found, the arrow will be fired as a warning. , So that the barracks can react quickly.

However, after being stationed for many days, there has been no movement from the Black Mountain bandits, and they have never seen anyone else's whereabouts.

I just didn't expect the arrow to hit the sky suddenly at this time.

Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao both knew that the Black Mountain bandits must not be taken lightly. They left the camp and soon saw the two eye whistles arranged to the north were flying towards the camp. The soldiers of the Long Rui army have quickly assembled, and they are all in their positions.

"There are cavalry!" Two eye whistles rushed into the camp, saw Qin Xiao, and quickly came forward to report: "They are coming here!"

"How many people?" Yu Wencheng asked in a deep voice.

"There are not many people, more than a dozen people." The eye whistle said: "It's just coming from the direction of Montenegro. They all wear swords and bows. They are not ordinary people!"

Qin Xiao’s eyesight is amazing. He can see clearly at this time. Under the sunset, more than a dozen black spots have appeared on the grass in the north. The black spots are getting closer and bigger, and they are only a few miles away from the camp. The horse stopped.

"General Qin, did the bandits come here?" Supervisor Xie Gaoyang also got the news and hurried over, a little nervous.

Qin Xiao has always been very polite to Xie Gaoyang, and said: "I still don't know where the other party came from, but it's probably a Black Mountain bandit."

"They are really bold enough to actually attack the barracks." Xie Gaoyang said angrily: "The bandits in other places ran away when they saw the officers and soldiers. It's better here. The bandits took the initiative to find the door. It seems that the rumors are true. The Liaodong Army can't be beaten up, and I can't look down on the Liaodong Army at all. Now, we are also not looked down upon by the Black Mountain bandits."

"Xiaolou, bring my horse!" Qin Xiao ordered Lu Xiaolou on the side.

Lu Xiaolou didn't talk nonsense, and brought the Black Overlord over, and Yu Wencheng frowned and said: "They are not many people, they may be just bait, let's not worry about it."

"They have stayed there all the time, neither advancing nor retreating. I would like to know what their intentions are." Qin Xiao said: "General Yuwenlang, you make people pay attention to movements in other directions, lest the other party is screaming, deliberately Attract our attention from the north, look for opportunities to raid from other directions."

Qin Xiao called Yuwen Chengchao eldest son in private, but in formal occasions, he still

According to the position.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything in other directions." Yu Wencheng said in a deep voice.

Qin Xiao turned on his horse, not much nonsense, he slapped the horse and rushed out, Yu Wencheng saw Qin Xiao and left, and said anxiously: "Come on, hurry up and follow the protection general."

Lu Xiaolou said in a deep voice: "I'll just follow." He also rode behind Qin Xiao and left the camp. The two of them were close to the team in a moment, and the other side was on the same spot. But Li, neither leaving nor dismounting, just waited for Qin Xiao to stop, and the group of talents looked Qin Xiao up and down.

Qin Xiao saw that the other person in the middle was strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was nearly forty years old. The others were carrying bows and arrows. Only this person had a big sword hanging from his waist. .

The two sides looked at each other. After a while, the thick eyebrows suddenly smiled and said: "Are you officers and soldiers?"

"Who are you guys?" Qin Xiao asked back.

The thick eyebrow said humanely: "We are hunters, hunting for a living." After blowing a whistle, several people behind raised their hands, and they really carried roe deer, hares and other prey in their hands.

"I heard that this mountain area is not very peaceful." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "You should be more careful when you hunt around here."

The man with thick eyebrows smiled and said: "My lord is talking about the Black Mountain bandits?"

"We are here for the first time, and I heard that there are bandits in the northern mountains." Qin Xiao calmly said, "We don't know whether these bandits are poisoning the people. Yes, you are hunting around here, have you ever met Black Mountain bandits? "

"Meet it." The thick eyebrows nodded: "But they are not malicious to ordinary people like us." After a pause, he finally asked: "Are you officers and soldiers coming from the pass? Do you want to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits? ?"

Qin Xiao asked back: "Do you think the black mountain bandits should be suppressed?"

"This is a matter of the government. How dare we ordinary people speak nonsense." The thick eyebrows smiled: "But we are very familiar with the surrounding environment. If you really want to encircle bandits, we can help."

Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled: "We came to the Northeast by decree, not to suppress bandits."

"Don't suppress the bandits?" The thick eyebrows said in surprise: "You are stationed here, less than two hundred miles from Montenegro. The morning and evening are coming. Why are you stationing here not to suppress the bandits?"

Qin Xiao sighed: "Do you really want to know?"

"Although it is presumptuous, the grass people are indeed very strange." Nongmei said humanely: "Songyang pasture is very remote, and the nearest county town has hundreds of miles. Why not choose a better garrison camp?"

"If we can choose by ourselves, of course we will stay away from here and find a more suitable pasture." Qin Xiao sighed: "However, although we are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, the four northeastern counties are guarded by the Liaodong Army. Other pastures It’s not convenient. The Liaodong Army only vacated this pasture for us.” Then he smiled and said: “Long Ruijun is ordered to train troops, you can also join the army to serve the court.”

The thick eyebrows handed his hands and said: "I have taken the words of the adults, but there are family members to take care of, so it is not convenient to serve in the army for the time being." He ordered: "The officers and soldiers are coming from afar, and we should also do our best to the landlord and stay. Prey."

Someone behind him threw a few roe deer and hare tits.

"A little bit of your heart, please accept me." The man with thick eyebrows arched his hands: "There will be a period later." Without saying more, he turned his head around, and drove away with everyone.

When Lu Xiaolou saw them going away, he finally said: "They are black mountain bandits, come here to inquire about the reality."

"Do you think they believe what I said?" Qin Xiao asked.

Lu Xiaolou shook his head: "I don't know." After thinking about it for a while, he said: "If they treat us as enemies from the beginning and believe that we are here to encircle and suppress them, they will not come forward to try. They only look for opportunities to launch a surprise attack. Since they came today, it proves that they actually don’t know our thoughts and don’t want to go to war directly with us."

"Not bad." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "This is just their first test. If nothing happens, they will send people to contact us next." Looking at the prey on the ground, he smiled and said: "It happens to be Sikong Ling. Bring people here today, these prey are enough to catch the wind and dust for them. The black mountain bandits are very interested, let's accept it."

The thick eyebrows took the dozens of his men and ran out for dozens of miles in one breath. The sun had already set, and everyone stopped by a small pond.

"The second in charge, is that person Qin Xiao?" A young man followed by the thick eyebrows, and asked a little excitedly: "He is really the same as the legend, bold and brave, so he dared to leave the camp with one person. See us."

The second master nodded and smiled: "As far as I know, Qin Xiao is less than twenty years old, and he is the chief general who led the troops out this time. Looking at the young man's demeanor and words and deeds, it should be Qin Xiao. "

"You can be considered a young hero." A middle-aged man who was about the same age as the second boss sat down on the side and said: "It was this man who killed Yuangai Wushuang. It’s not weird to take a person out of the camp."

"Shixin, do you think what he said is credible?" the second master asked.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, and then said: "Our identity, he must have seen it, whether his words are true or confusing us, I really can't be completely sure."

"I heard that this person is deeply favored by the emperor." The second master said with light in his eyes and calmly said: "If you want to change the current situation of the four northeast counties, if you can get help from this person, there is great hope." Touched his chin. Rough beard, frowned and said: "It's just that it's impossible to determine the true intention of this person this time outside the customs, and whether this person is trustworthy, we have to observe it again."

Shixin looked serious, shook his head and said: "I am afraid that there is not much time left for you. Du Zitong and Shen Xuangan have been persuading the leader to send troops. The leader has already given birth to the intention to send troops. Let's start and insist on sending troops. We are alone on the hill, and I am afraid we can't compete with them."

"The two people have no ambitions, and they want to occupy the mountain as the king and be happy." The young man couldn't help but said: "They surround the master's house all day, and they only know how to drink and have fun, maybe they are still the master's house. Talking bad things about the second master...!" Before he could say anything, the second master already shouted sharply: "Jiubao, shut up!"

Jiubao shuddered and lowered his head, not daring to say more.

"These words are what you can say?" Shixin also couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if everyone thinks differently. Put your own reasoning, discuss and deal with it, there will always be a way. But if The brothers are separated and jealous of each other, and in the end no one can get it right."

Everyone on the side bowed their heads and said nothing. When the second master saw this, he sighed, and said, "Everyone, remember, don’t say these things that hurt your brother’s peace in the future, if Jiubao’s words were only heard by others , Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
