Chapter 10 Brothers (6)
Linghu Xiaojin is actually not small at all. He is eight feet tall and looks a little thin, but his muscles seem to be made of directly watered with iron juice. He can't find any burden and softness brought by wealth and leisure.
i On the top of the mountain at Jianfengkou, the blood of the enemy and the blood of his own people all dyed the soil on the mountain red. More than half of the people had become broken limbs and broken limbs all over the ground, and most of the others fell to the ground seriously injured. The remaining half of the head of the ground demon insect as big as a house bit Linghu Xiaojin's arm and slowly dragged him into the pit. Not far away, the remaining Xidishaman was vomiting blood while casting spells. He used his only intact left foot and right hand to drag the head of the demon insect weighing hundreds of pounds. Finally, when the shaman's spell was over, he grabbed the shaman's foot from behind, dragged it down, dragged it over, and bit off half of the shaman's head in one bite.
In the flesh-and-blood hell of the mountain, the man who had bitten half of his enemy's head pulled out the waist knife from the corpse, cut off his arm bitten by the demon insect like cutting a branch, then jumped over with one foot, pushed the lower body of the demon insect, opened his big mouth with a mouthful of brain, and smiled at Xiao Xia who was pressing down: "Little brother, aren't you dead yet? If you are not dead, come out to help save people."
This is a man who made it purely by using the cold wind in the northwest and the beacon on the battlefield, pinching the coldest and hardest sharpness at the tip of the steel knife and the hottest drop of blood in the enemy's heart. This is the deepest impression of Xiao Xia had on him three years ago.
However, when he saw him again in the central army tent, Xiao Xia was quite unable to put this impression on him.
He should have been promoted from the last General Zuo to the commander of the White Tiger Army with his merits in the battle of Jianfengkou three years ago. His three years of leadership career have made him fatter. His thin face has gained a lot, covering up the originally angular outlines so soft that it has become much gentler. Even the scars on his face are not very ferocious. His commanding armor looks very majestic and imposing, but the body underneath must have been a lot more flesh.
And his left hand that had lost now looks nothing different. Of course, it must have grown again, nor could it have been retrieved again. Even if it was taken out, it was difficult to see what it was like. It should be a prosthetic made by Shenjitang. However, it was specially covered with a layer of human skin on it. It must have been specially tailored for a lot of money.
"General Linghu, don't be fine." Xiao Xia bowed his hand to the court.
Before Linghu Xiaojin could speak, a personal guard next to him was shouting angrily: "Bold. Don't kneel down when you see the general!"
Xiao Xia didn't move, neither kneeling nor being shocked, and didn't even blink his eyebrows.
\"It turns out that Brother Xia, I haven't seen each other for three years, so I'm fine. Are you still in Liuziying now?"
"I have retired a long time ago, and now I am just a gangster." Xiao Xia smiled. Linghu Xiaojin had waited a little while just now, and then he spoke after looking at his reaction. However, in the past three years, this iron-blooded soldier had a lot of official smell. "I wonder what happened to General Linghu calling me?"
"Brother Xia is not in Liuzi Camp anymore..." Linghu Xiaojin hesitated for a moment. The expression on his face was a little strange, seemed a little disappointed, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "But yesterday,"
But my scouts said that they were from Brother Xia who claimed to be Liuziying, which prevented them from checking out a group of suspected fine escorts."
"Where is this?" Xiao Xia looked inexplicably amused and inexplicable. It seemed that this was really not true at all. "I did walk with a group of escorts and cavalry brothers from the White Tiger Army yesterday, but I never said that they were from Liuzi Camp, and it did not prevent them from checking the escorts."
"Not this?" Linghu Xiaojin was stunned.
"This is absolutely nothing." Xiao Xia shook her head with certainty, without any hesitation on her face.
"Oh...this" Linghu Xiaojin frowned. The cavalry scouts in the army would never be able to lie about military affairs. And if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have known that Xiaoxia was a native of Liuzi Camp. However, Xiaoxia completely denied it, which was indeed not a fake, so he could not find a place to start.
In fact, he was always embarrassed. Although he had been pampering for the past three years and had a good life and was a good meal and drinking and socializing, his bones were not completely wiped out. This Taoist priest named Xia from Liuying was a low-key person, but he was a comrade-in-arms who had been through life and death together. He was definitely unwilling to arrest him and deal with him with military law. However, this matter involved a great deal, and even involved the imperial plan of the imperial court. Even if he was in it, he was just obeying orders. He could only call him up.
But now this person is no longer from Liuziying, and he even directly denies what he has done, which really makes him not know what to do.
"That's not simple. Just call those scouts and soldiers together and confront them in front of you." A figure lifted up the tent and walked in, glanced at Linghu Xiaojin and Xiaoxia, and spoke coldly.
Linghu Xiaojin saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Li." Then he turned to Xiaoxia and said: "This is Mr. Li Renshou, the governor of Jizhou Prefecture."
Xiao Xia was a little surprised. This person's identity was a bit amazing. The governor of the state was in charge of the military and political power of a state, and he was a well-deserved chief official. Although the royal family of the Daqian and Zhao won the world with the position of governor of the state and yellow robe, they had many weakened and controlled the power of such governors, for him, the gangster of the rivers and lakes, he was still a very high-ranking grandson.
It was inevitable to be surprised and praised. However, after being surprised and admired, Xiao Xia still bowed and clasped her fists with the etiquette of the world, saying, "I have met Lord Li."
This Lord Li Renshou was about forty years old, wearing a long robe of a brocade Confucian scholar, a long sword on his waist, a face like a crown and jade, and three long beards were meticulously taken care of. At first glance, he knew that he was a famous Confucian scholar who paid great attention to appearance. He saw Xiao Xia just holding his fists in place, and he didn't even bend his waist. A jing light flashed in his eyes and laughed angrily: "Okay, okay. The ones under Ye Hongshan were indeed arrogant people who did not know the rituals. I am the emperor guarding the helm for the side of the emperor. You kid have no military position, and you even use the rituals of the world to me. Did you really rely on the great rebellious words that Ye Hongshan gave back then?"
Ye Hongshan is the name of General Hongye. After more than ten years of becoming a general, he was accustomed to calling him the name directly is a Confucian scholar. When the general was just starting out, he killed the great shaman of the White Bear tribe of Xidi alone and led the 500 Iron Cavalry of the Iron Ye army in desperate situations to break out of the encirclement, which shocked the world. However, after returning to the camp, he immediately killed the Minister of War who was supervising the battle with one knife. He even said before ten thousand people that we were passionate men who defended our country and were heartbroken. It would be fine to worship the king of heaven and earth, but why would you still worship the dog official who could not even hold a knife?
At that time, the war was fierce and the court did not dare to punish this peerless general to hurt the morale of the army. The law could only be amended. From then on, all military soldiers in the army did not have to kneel down to worship civil servants. From then on, the general's reputation and status in the army was no longer comparable, and his military merits and status rose. However, the Confucian scholars who practiced the ruler, ruler, minister, father, son, and son, and emphasized the use of literature to control martial arts naturally hated him to the core.
The general's majesty is certainly heartbreaking, but Xiao Xia does not mean that the fox is pretending to be a tiger. At least he will not be able to look at the Confucian master Zhou Mu, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Li doesn't know anything. In fact, he is a practitioner of Taoism. General Linghu also knows it."
Lord Li's brows slightly spread, but he didn't even look at Linghu Xiaojin next to him. It was obvious that he didn't really care, but just snorted coldly and said, "So, let's not talk about your rude crime. I just said that as a veteran, you abused the military position signs to hinder the detailed investigation of the soldiers. According to the laws and regulations of the big karma, you should betray you and kill you. Do you have anything to say?"
"Of course there is something to say. I have never abused my military posts, nor have I hindered the investigation of soldiers in the army. I will know it as soon as I ask."
Xiao Xia held his fists and bowed again without panic. He seemed confident, but in fact he frowned. This little thing should not be a matter of personal investigation by a magistrate of the state, and it would be a bit unpleasant. He was just a wild Taoist priest in the world. If Lord Mu really wanted to kill him, it would be no problem to kill 180 people with his fingers. But now Lord Li has to use military law to first judge him by the military law. This is obviously wrong, and it is clearly involved in more and bigger things.
What's even more strange is that this was the first time I saw this Lord Zhou Mu, but he had somehow a slight familiar feeling.
"I said I," the boss screamed and begged for mercy. "The wild Taoist priest is from Liuzi Camp, and we dare not touch him. However, Lord Zhoumu seemed to be looking for trouble for the Red Leaf Army, so we took the wild Taoist priest to the camp and let the people above control him with military law to punish him for death."
"What did you say?" Tang Qing chuckled and gritted her teeth to spit out these words. With a trembling hand, the Hongying Sword blew through the throat of the boss.
The boss's huge ball-like body shook suddenly, and a loud sound came from his throat. He grabbed his hands at his throat, but immediately twitched, and the loud sound in his throat became several times heavier. A stench suddenly came out of the leather armor under his body, and a drizzling yellow water flowed out. It turned out that Tang Qingxiao's sword only cut through his throat's vocal cords, making him unable to speak. Instead, he thought he was going to die, so he reached out to grab his throat, but it caused the arrow wounds behind him, and was so painful that he was flowing all the way.
Ignoring the boss on the ground, Tang Qing chuckled and walked to Tang Gongzheng, clasped his fists and said, "I thank you for your help this time. But the boy still has something to ask for your help now. I wonder if you can agree?"
"Ah Xiao, what are you talking about? This Fourth Master Tang is." When President Lin heard this, he was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Tang Qingxiao. Facing this great benefactor with profound kung fu and a famous Tangjiabao family, he was still worried about what method and language to express his gratitude clearly, and could make the other party remember it, and understand that this group of escorts are polite and kind. The Youde Escort Agency in Niutouling, Xuzhou will definitely be grateful and worthy of help. However, Ah Xiao, who has always been taciturn and serene, walked straight to others and asked others to do him a favor.
What's even more incredible is that the fourth young master of the Tang family, who is incredibly high in identity and martial arts, was not displeased at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "I think this little brother really likes you. I help people to the end and send Buddha to the West. If you have anything to help, I can say it's okay."
"That's right, we have a friend named Xia who is a retired soldier from Liuzi Camp. He can only get here by his care along the way. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is saving his life. But as the bandit leader said, these horse thieves, in order to deal with us, took him away, and said that they would take him to military law. We are weak and we are really unable to rescue him, but we must not sit idly by. Now we can only ask you to help rescue this friend."
If I just heard that President Lin was just stupid, but now I would almost be crazy. The wild Taoist priest named Xia did help them a lot along the way. It was because of their mistakes. I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but it was completely impossible. The rules of grudges in the world are completely different from those in the military. I can't rely on my high skills to kill seven in seven out for the sake of doing it. I don't mean to ask someone to help me, it's just asking someone to die.
But the head of the President Lin had no time to be crazy and immediately went back to the scene. The Fourth Master Tang didn't hesitate at all when he heard this request that was almost a difficult task, and still nodded and laughed: "Okay, okay. The little brother has feelings and righteousness. This kind of person should be like this, so I like it. It just so happened that my old man sent me to Jizhou, but the bookings were always gone, which made me bored and wandered around the grass sea for several times. Since I encountered this, I would like to help my little brother and find a way to rescue your friend."
"Your Majesty, I will never forget you." Tang Qingxiao raised his hand and bowed to Tang Gongzheng. "But our escort is almost here to make an appointment.
It's time for period I, so I can't wait for your news here. You go to the White Tiger Army and we set off for Baishi City. After you save my friend, you also come to Baishi City to meet us. OK?"
"Okay. What's wrong with it?" Tang Gongzheng still nodded and promised, making Mr. Lin and others feel like they were actually the fourth master Tang. He pulled out the silver notes given to him by the fourth boss from his arms. "But the silver that these horse thieves compensated would be troubled by the little brother and Mr. Lin to distribute to the injured townsmen in the town, the old man who sold noodles there."
Tang Gongzheng casually found a horse left by a dead horse thief, turned around and galloped outside the town. Seeing his figure disappearing into the dust raised by the horse's hooves, the people in the escort agency were still as stupid as they were completely unconscious. This heroic hero who could never refuse to go forward for the first time could not be easily seen in the story of the world. In such a real world where people's hearts are sinister, even if their biological brothers are bound to fight for life and death, are there really such people?
Tang Qingxia also watched Tang Gongzheng's back gradually disappear, but unlike others' stupidity, his eyes were clear and firm, and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly. Even the confusion that Xiaoxia had after being taken away by the cavalry disappeared. He patted the shoulder of President Lin's head beside him and said, "Let's go. We have to set off quickly, we must arrive at Baishi City as soon as possible."
Mr. Lin's head of the siege still couldn't completely cut it out from the incredible. Looking at the boy beside him who seemed to have become a little unrecognizable, he stammered and asked: "I... are we really not waiting for Mr. Tang? This... If he is there...we...we..."
