Chapter 1021 Selection
Chen Yue's figure appeared in the captain's barracks of the Crossbowman Camp. He was the only one in the tent at this time.
Chenyue, who was bored, looked around at this ordinary barracks casually. Apart from a map of foreign countries hanging on the wall, the most common thing in the tent was weapons.
Two crossbows, a set of armor and two scimitars, all polished to a shine, can be seen that the people who use them take care of them.
These guys are all the equipment that crossbowmen usually have, and each of them is protected like a bride.
Soon, the crossbowman captain Heng Yinyang quickly walked into the tent, cupped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty! Why are you summoning your subordinates?"
Heng Yinyang originally deployed military patrols in the camp for the past few days. When Xu Luo found him, he was surprised. The prince did not come here on weekdays. Once he came, it meant that he had military affairs.
"Captain Heng, I have nothing else to do. I am just here to look for someone to choose." Chenyue smiled and waved to Heng Yinyang to sit down.
"Looking for someone? What kind of person does the prince need?" Heng Yinyang, who had just sat down, thought to himself: Sure enough, there is military affairs.
Chenyue raised his finger and said:
"Be smart, be clever, and be able to adapt to changes. Of course, you must be reliable! Make it clear in advance that this mission is dangerous and requires you to go deep into the enemy camp. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."
Heng Yinyang was slightly surprised. Hearing Chenyue's tone was not an ordinary mission.
Even a crossbowman doesn't often do this kind of thing: going deep into the enemy's camp. What kind of mission is it?
But Heng Yinyang was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. It was not something he should ask if Chen Yue could pick someone in person.
"Your Majesty's conditions are a bit harsh, Rong Mo will think about it." Heng Yinyang said with a wry smile.
To say that he is not afraid of death, loyal and reliable, Heng Yinyang can accept a lot of them, but it is a bit difficult to be smart and clever.
"Of course~"
Chenyue smiled and nodded.
Going deep into the enemy camp is not something ordinary people can do, so when Zhuge took out the letter, he immediately thought of the crossbowmen.
As long as that letter is used properly, it is enough to make the two princes of the Yan Kingdom dog-eat-dog.
Chenyue suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "Hey, how is that Hou Ling? Where is he now?"
At the end of last year, Chen Yue was accompanied by Hou Ling when he personally inspected the Yan Army camp. He performed well along the way, so Chen Yue had some impressions of him.
Heng Yinyang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:
"Isn't Hou Ling not suitable? He has already reached the rank of Deputy Lieutenant of Crossbowmen. He has a strong killing spirit and easily attracts attention."
"That's right." Chen Yue curled his lips, but he had forgotten about this incident.
"Yes! I recommend a young man to the prince, he should be able to do it!" Heng Yinyang slapped his thigh and said.
"Tell me about it." Chen Yue's eyes lit up.
Heng Yinyang said in a deep voice:
"I have an old brother under me who used to be a crossbowman captain, but later died in the battle outside the pass. He left an apprentice who has always been with me. His name is Si Yangshuo, and he is very clever! He should be in line with the prince's qualifications.
Require."
"Is it reliable?" Chenyue asked.
“Absolutely reliable!”
Heng Yinyang patted his chest and said, "The last general will always regard him as his own son, a native of Liangzhou!
Going in and out of the battlefield, charging into battle, this guy never frowned at all!"
After hearing this, Chenyue was quite satisfied with Si Yangshuo, but he soon hesitated.
Heng Yinyang noticed the change in Chenyue's expression and asked cautiously: "My lord, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Yue rubbed his brows and said, "You must think clearly, this trip is extremely dangerous. If something unexpected happens..."
When Chenyue said this, Heng Yinyang understood that the prince was afraid that he would lose a son.
Heng Yinyang smiled calmly:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! Everyone in the Liang army will die!"
"Okay, call me over!"
"promise!"
…
Soon, Heng Yinyang returned to the tent with a young man who had not yet taken off his crossbowman uniform.
"Subordinate Si Yangshuo! See the prince!"
The young man cupped his fists and shouted. Apparently Heng Yinyang had told him some information on the way. Si Yangshuo's face was filled with excitement, but not a trace of fear.
Chen Yue looked him up and down. Si Yangshuo's face was dark, his figure was not strong, but he did have some heroic spirit between his brows.
"How many years have you been in the army?" Chenyue asked with interest.
"Two years! I have been in the crossbowman army!" Si Yangshuo replied with his chest puffed out.
"Have you explored the enemy camp?"
"I visited the Yan army camp outside Wuguan twice, but they were all rear army camps, not the central army camp." Si Yangshuo answered in a straight-forward manner.
Chenyue nodded with satisfaction: "How does it feel to break into the enemy camp?"
Si Yangshuo scratched his head: "Nervous, but also excited, like when I was a child and stole the sweet potatoes from the uncle next door."
"Hahaha~" Chen Yue couldn't help being amused. This young man was quite interesting.
Heng Yinyang rolled his eyes at Si Yangshuo, he really dared to say anything in front of the prince.
"Yes, it's you!" Chen Yue nodded without hesitation.
Although he didn't know whether Si Yangshuo was the candidate he wanted, he believed in Heng Yinyang's vision.
Moreover, from these few short sentences of chatting, it can be seen that this boy is not a dull soldier.
Si Yangshuo was immediately overjoyed. He didn't know what the mission was, but being recognized by Prince Liang was undoubtedly something that made him proud.
"Are you familiar with the terrain outside Tianlang Pass?" Chen Yue asked softly.
Si Yangshuo nodded happily: "When I first joined the Crossbowmen, I was stationed at Tianlang Pass for half a year, so I am very familiar with it!"
"Very good!" Chenyue looked at Heng Yinyang with a smile and said: "Colonel Heng, pick a hundred elite crossbowmen and set off together when the time comes!"
"promise!"
…
Two days later, Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng took a small road out of the customs and walked northeast for twenty or thirty miles until they came to the mouth of a valley and stopped.
Behind them, in addition to Si Yangshuo who was in plain clothes, there were also a hundred elite crossbowmen led by Hou Ling.
Si Yangshuo's expression was calm, without any disturbance. Chu Yucheng had told him the mission in detail in the past two days, and the letter with the seal of King Liang was hidden in his arms.
It must be said that the task is very difficult and full of dangers.
But Si Yangshuo was not afraid. When the master who led him into the army died in battle, he had already put life and death aside.
Chenyue reined in his horse and stopped, turned to look at Si Yangshuo and said, "Are you afraid? You should know how dangerous this trip is."
Si Yangshuo stood proudly and shouted softly: "Your Majesty! You will have no regrets even if you die!"
"Not bad, he looks like a man from Liangzhou!" Chenyue patted him hard on the shoulder.
Hou Ling, who was a few steps away from the three of them, kept scanning the group of people with doubts in his eyes.
He only received one military order, and he was to try his best to get Si Yangshuo back, which was very mysterious.
"Go ahead and be careful!" Chen Yue finally waved his hand.
