The lobby of the inn is bustling with people, many guests are having breakfast, there are caravan guards and bodyguards wearing uniforms and sabers, there are leopards with ringed eyes and thick chest hair, and there are rivers and lakes wealthy people who drink wine and eat meat.
There are handsome monks with bare foreheads and robes, as well as Taoist priests holding hexagram flags and fairy-like Taoist bones.
Wutai County is located on a traffic thoroughfare, and there are many people passing by every day, with various religions and streams mixed among them.
Almost all the people in the lobby were passing through here. The guests who stayed in the inn last night were, without exception, all tired men.
The customs of the Chu State were strict and restrained, respecting etiquette and law. Except for the local people, there were very few women and children traveling outside.
The appearance of Dongmei and Chundai seems to add color to the black and white picture.
The originally noisy guests couldn't help but quiet down, and each one of them looked at them overtly or covertly.
The two women can become the maids of the legitimate son of the Chen family. They are naturally good-looking and are the best choices. In addition, they have received special training since childhood, and their temperament is not inferior to that of some purdah ladies from wealthy families.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and beauty makes people feel happy. However, as veterans, everyone here knows that the most important thing in the world is not the level of strength, but the ability of eyesight.
Elderly people, children, and women are often the three types of people in the world who should not be messed with, especially beautiful women. The two women in front of you look like they are not ordinary people at first glance. Just take a look and forget it. If you go over to strike up a conversation, you might get into trouble.
Upper body.
Dongmei and Chundai had long been accustomed to the glares from around them. They looked around and soon saw Niu Xiaosheng sitting by the window.
"Little master, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I feel like you have become a little different."
Chun Dai sat opposite, holding her chin with her hands, staring at Niu Xiaosheng with her big, watery eyes.
"Really? What's the difference?"
Niu Xiaosheng pretended to be confused.
Dongmei's eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly and said: "It should be the change caused by the breakthrough in strength. Is the young master in the later stage?"
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Niu Xiaosheng was startled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the letter he sent home before, he did not mention his level of martial arts. He just briefly mentioned that he accidentally entered the cave, finally came out, but was pulled into a young man, and the master came to get him. So the two women included
Even Master Chen Pan didn't know that he was already at the peak of the first realm when he came out.
Just now, I thought that Dongmei had practiced some kind of pupil technique and had seen through her true strength, but she didn't expect that it was just a false alarm.
Chun Dai clapped her hands and said, "It must be so. The little master went to the cave——"
She looked around with wide eyes, stuck out her tongue, and continued in a low voice: "I must have gotten a lot of benefits after going to that place. I said it felt different. It turned out that I had become stronger, but Miss Xiaomei
, the later stage is too exaggerated, how long has it passed, I guess it should be the middle stage, what do you think, little master?"
"Haha, this is a secret. We can't tell it. You will know it later."
Niu Xiaosheng pretended to be a mysterious person.
Chun Dai rolled her eyes, "Forget it if you don't tell me. Anyway, it's either the mid-term or the late stage. By the way, we were just about to go find you, and you came. Sister Xiaomei, show the letter to the little master."
Dongmei took out the letter paper folded into squares from her belt and handed it over.
Niu Xiaosheng took it over, opened it, took a look, and frowned: "You want to see me? Do I have to go?"
He looked up at the two women. Although they were Chen Pan's apprentices, he didn't know much about the Chen family at all, and he didn't seem to pay attention to the second-in-law brothers mentioned in the letter.
Dongmei shook her head, "Of course not. The young master is the young master's apprentice, and his status in the Chen family is no worse than those of the second eldest brother. Even if you don't go, no one will say you are wrong."
"That's fine, I won't go."
Niu Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I will ask someone to reply to them later. By the way, according to the current situation in Youzhou, the young master is expected to go to the battlefield soon. Do you have a place you want to go? In addition to the Tianxiong and Tianwu armies, other places
We could all use some functioning.”
After hearing this, Niu Xiaosheng had to think carefully, after all, his life was at stake.
After much thought, he finally decided to enter the scout camp. Although the scouts had to go deep into the enemy camp to detect intelligence, they were in a very dangerous situation. However, they were more flexible and had a higher degree of freedom. It was also easy to obtain military merits. This was not the case with other arms. Large-scale military units
Formation combat,.
When the two women heard this answer, they nodded and said they would make arrangements for him.
After staying in the inn for a while, Niu Xiaosheng said goodbye to the two women and headed to Tian Qi's home.
For some unknown reason, Tian Qi has not yet gotten married. Apart from her parents, there is only one younger brother and one younger sister in her family. The Tian family was very enthusiastic about the arrival of people like Niu Xiaosheng.
Just three days passed in the blink of an eye. After the New Year, Qishan Camp returned to its original intense training. It basically consisted of small exercises every day and one exercise every half month (military training), in order to ensure the physical fitness of the soldiers.
Consumption, the amount of food and grass eaten every day is a shocking figure.
March of the 31st year of Kaitai.
The Qishan Battalion received the frontline military order and all personnel rushed to the front line to strengthen the defense of Yunhai Customs.
Yunhai Customs is one of the three major border checkpoints. It is a military town that strangles the throat of Youzhou. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times and is very important.
"Our transfer orders have been issued."
Tian Qi summoned Niu Xiaosheng and others with a solemn face.
The Qishan Battalion had just arrived at Yunhai Pass, and before they had time to rest and recuperate, the transfer order came down from above, and the entire battalion of more than 3,000 people was dispersed into each battalion.
"Zhao Min and I were both assigned to the Spear Battalion, but the people in Xiao Sheng's group were transferred to the Scout Battalion. This is a bit abnormal."
As a veteran in the army, Tian Qi could see at a glance that the transfer order was inappropriate. Logically speaking, newly recruited soldiers would not be dropped into the scout camp. Something must have happened.
Niu Xiaosheng was not surprised by this, but what he didn't expect was that not only did he enter the scout camp, but Zhang Long and the others also followed.
"Chief, please don't scare me. Is there something wrong with this scout camp?"
Fu Deyi asked with a nervous look on his face. The man who was skinny and weak now has some toughness.
After several months of high-intensity training, especially after several rounds of military training, his current strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. In addition to never having been on the battlefield or killing anyone with his own hands, he has already competed with the military.
The old soldier is not much different.
The two Zhang Long brothers have successfully broken through and become first-level warriors.
The military training method of military evil can be regarded as a magical skill for explosive soldiers. Except for the hidden dangers caused by the military evil entering the body many times, it has almost no shortcomings. Soldiers can experience the battlefield in the illusion.
environment, quickly accumulate experience and hone your mind.
