Li Xiang wore clothes made of wolf skin, braved the wind and snow, and followed the footsteps of the soldiers in front of him.
Zhang Qingyun followed Li Xiang. He was the most dressed in the entire team. The other Xiliang soldiers, like Li Xiang, wore wolf skin clothing. This was also thanks to the large amount of wolf skins obtained at the jackal camp. Otherwise, some soldiers would have to wear sackcloth.
The clothes taken from Zhang Qingyun's companions are still being roasted in the camp, and will be distributed to the farmers after they are roasted.
As Li Xiang walked, he chatted with Zhang Qingyun, hoping to get some news from Zhang Qingyun about the northwest. He came to the northwest and stayed in this forest. He didn't know much about the outside world, even the northwest. He was not very clear about the powerful forces on the ground.
When Zhang Qingyun heard Li Xiang's question, the nostalgia flashed in his eyes and his mouth was full of bitterness: "I am from Penglai County, Qingzhou. I have been alone and helpless since I was a child. I was fortunate to be appreciated by my teacher, who taught me by words and deeds.
Later, the teacher offended the powerful people in the court and was expelled from Daqian by his family. The younger one came to this northwest land with the teacher. It is shameful to say that the younger one, a scholar, became a robber."
It is a great shame for Zhang Qingyun that a scholar becomes a robber, but because of his teacher, he must work hard.
"He turned out to be a scholar!" Li Xiang was a little curious and thought about the officials who had been expelled from Daqian over the years. Being expelled from Daqian during the period was even more uncomfortable than being beheaded directly.
Prime Minister Li is not very interested in these things in the imperial capital. The Li family is a general, and their foundation is in the army. No matter how fierce the civil servants fight, as long as they are not involved in the lineage of their generals, the generals will not fight with those generals. When civil servants are in conflict, if those civil servants dare to move against generals, Daqian Jiangmen will let those civil servants know that in this world, the words of those with big fists are more effective.
However, it is very rare for an official to be expelled from Daqian.
After thinking in his mind for a few seconds, Li Xiang looked at Zhang Qingyun strangely: "Your teacher is Zhou Hangjie, the governor of Penglai County, Mr. Zhou?"
The only official expelled from Daqian in recent years seems to be Zhou Hangjie, the governor of Penglai County, a violent man who dared to beat the head of the dynasty in the main hall.
Several princes were vying for the throne, and Zhou Hangjie seemed to be supporting the one supported by the Li family. Zhou Hangjie was removed from the blame five years before Prime Minister Li, followed by Prime Minister Li. The two people who were regarded as scapegoats went to the northwest together. Come up from the earth.
Zhou Hangjie has a bad temper, but his ability in local governance is obvious to all. If the incident was too big and there was really no way to deal with it, he could only push such a powerful assistant to block the blame.
Presumably Zhou Hangjie, like himself, has a hatred for the other side!
A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Qingyun's eyes. The man in front of him seemed to know his mentor: "Sir, do you also know your mentor?"
Li Xiang patted Zhang Qingyun on the shoulder: "I am also from Daqian. Not long after I arrived here, Mr. Zhou's deeds were widely circulated in the imperial capital. I, Li Xiang, have admired me for a long time. If I have the opportunity, I will take you with me. Go and rescue the master and reunite your master and disciple!"
If the master and apprentice are reunited, shouldn't you put me back? Then our master and apprentice can be reunited! However, Zhang Qingyun's courage has also dropped. Since Li Xiang said that he would take him to reunite with his mentor, This should prevent you from doing anything to yourself!
Moreover, I have just arrived in the Northwest, is this a lie? There are so many big men working for me just after I arrived, do you think that the Northwest is your home? But he did not dare to say this.
After seeing that his life was saved, Zhang Qingyun also had a smile on his face: "Thank you, sir!"
Prime Minister Li nodded and continued to ask: "What kind of forces are there nearby? Tell me about them?"
Zhang Qingyun didn't know whether Li Xiang was testing or had any plans, so he told what he knew: "In this place, at the beginning of spring, there will be hunters, and ordinary forces will not come here.
Because there are many wolves in this forest. Those beasts, as long as you kill one of them, they will fight with you. If you can't beat one, they will call a pack. If you can't beat a group, the whole wolf pack may be killed.
come over.
About seven days away from here is Qingzhu Village. Qingzhu Village is located on the edge of the northwest land, in a vast bamboo forest. People usually look for spiritual bamboos in the bamboo forest, cut them down and sell them in the town.
The population of Qingzhu Village is about 500 people, 200 young and strong. The first master is a third-rate master, and the second master and third master are both first-rate masters!
A little past Qingzhu Village is Black Tiger City, a top power in the northwest. The leader of Black Tiger City is Zhang Dagang, a true disciple of the Daqian Yixing Sect. He massacred a small sect many years ago and was hunted down by the government. He then ran to the northwest to establish a
Black Tiger City's martial arts has reached the standard and is not far from being first-class.
Black Tiger City has a population of approximately 10,000 people, of whom 3,000 are capable of fighting, and each one of them is a master of Yi Xingquan."
Li Xiang was a little surprised to see Zhang Qingyun: "You know these forces very well!"
Zhang Qingyun lowered his eyebrows and said: "This is the information collected from Qingzhu Village, I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.
There are two other cottages like Qingzhu Village around Black Tiger City. They are Tianhuo Village, which is backed by Graphite Mountain and occupies a high place. Although there are only 400 people, relying on Graphite Mountain, even Black Tiger City would not dare to
Too oppressive!
The graphite produced in Tianhuo City is exported to the entire northwest, and it is a rare wealthy place.
There is also Xuanshui Village. Xuanshui Village is built in the middle of Xuanshui Lake. On weekdays, people enter and exit by bamboo rafts, and the main fish are fish!
Further afield, I’m not very sure, but I heard that there is a place called Yin Yang Town opposite Black Tiger City, which is also a first-rate force in the northwest!"
These are all Zhang Qingyun knows.
Li Xiang memorized the information Zhang Qingyun said in his heart, and the forces probably already knew it.
"How are the weapons and equipment in your Qingzhu Village? Are there many horizontal knives like this?"
Li Xiang patted the knife on his waist.
Zhang Qingyun shook his head: "Not many. The horizontal sword in your hand, sir, can be ranked among the top five in Qingzhu Village. Da... Tiezhu obtained this horizontal sword because he found a top-grade spiritual bamboo.
!”
"What about the weapons and equipment?" Li Xiang continued to ask, and Zhang Qingyun told everything he knew. The two of them asked and answered questions, and followed the large army walking in the forest. From time to time, gusts of cold wind blew, carrying the air in the sky.
