Hu Yang was puzzled: "No, you didn't understand, did you? Han Shizi is gone! Now this Black Wind Camp is Lord Xiao's territory! Lord Xiao appreciates it and promoted you on the first day you took office! Do you know? Anyway, I'll tell you!"
Wen Renchong said, "If you say you won't go, you won't go."
"Hey! You!" Hu Yang put his hands on his hips and was about to point at him when suddenly a soldier behind him walked over with a slash, "Old Chong! Has my armor been repaired yet?"
Wen Ren didn't even lift his eyelids, he just pointed at the wall on the left back side: "Okay, on the third shelf over there, go get it yourself."
The soldiers squeezed Populus euphratica away.
Hu Yang is a master in name, but in fact he has no status in the military camp. The previous commanders of the Han family do not need a master, they have their own staff.
To put it a bit ugly, his master is just a decoration, mixed with the army's pay.
Hu Yang stumbled a bit, and then stood firm by holding on to the wall.
He glared at the name fiercely, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Stinky boy, you don't have long eyes when you walk!"
The soldier took his armor, didn't even look at Master Hu, didn't pay attention to Wen Renchong, and swaggered away.
Master Hu just stood at the door of the iron shop for a short time, and then he felt that his whole body was about to be roasted by the high temperature. He looked at Wen Renchong sitting next to the boiler, and he couldn't understand how this guy could stand it. of.
Master Hu lifted his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and said earnestly, "Wen Renchong, you were the confidant of the Xuanyuan family back then, and you should know in your heart that even if it wasn't the Han family, it would be impossible for you to replace it with any other aristocratic family. There is a chance to be reused. You are just lucky to meet our Lord Xiao, and Lord Xiao dares to take the risk of offending all the noble families and even His Majesty to lift up an old member of the Xuanyuan family, don’t you feel a little moved in your heart? ?"
Wen Renchong continued to mend the armor on his legs: "No."
Master Hu: "..."
Master Hu ate a closed door at Wen Renchong, turned his head and scolded Wen Renchong in front of Gu Jiao.
"That guy is so ignorant!"
"I'll take a look." Gu Jiao said.
As the commander-in-chief, she has her own tent with the commander's guards, similar to the orderly in the previous life.
Gu Jiao asked him to take Heifeng Wang and Ma Wang to the training ground for training, and then went to the iron shop in the camp with Master Hu.
Master Hu had planned to lead the way, but he didn't go as fast as Gu Jiao.
"My lord! My lord! Big..." Master Hu watched Gu Jiao turn right and walked towards the iron shop without error, he scratched his head, "Your lord knows the way, have you been here? Ah, yes, your lord came to the barracks to select... No, the selection is in the front, here is the reserve battalion... Forget it, forget it!"
When Gu Jiao saw Wen Renchong, Wen Renchong was no longer repairing his armor, but raised his hammer to strike iron.
Gu Jiao's eyes fell on him.
Because of the hot weather, he was shirtless and sweaty on his bronzed skin. Although he did not participate in military training for many years, ironing was also physical work, and his tendons were very strong and developed.
Gu Jiao noticed that he was wearing a leather glove on his right hand.
It should be to cover the broken finger.
Master Hu chased after sweating profusely, bent down, put his hands on his thighs, and gasped for breath: "Wen Ren... Wen Ren... Chong... Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao has come to see you in person... Don't hurry... To Sir Xiao… hello…”
Wen Renchong had no interest in the new commander, and he still didn't see it. He waved the hammer in his hand to strike the iron: "Put the weapon on the left, and the armor on the right."
Gu Jiao looked at the mountains of damaged armored soldiers piled up on both sides of the yard and asked, "No need to register?"
"No need." Wen Renchong smashed the hammer again, smashing a series of sparks on the red-hot weapon.
Gu Jiao asked, "Who do you remember with so many armored soldiers?"
Wen Renchong finally got impatient, he frowned and looked at Gu Jiao: "Do you want to repair or not, if you don't repair, don't block me—"
The last word was only half said.
Uncontrollable surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he did not expect the newly appointed commander to be so young.
Gu Jiao's official age is nineteen, but her actual age is less than seventeen, doesn't she look like a young and immature teenager
But the young man is upright, with a calm and calm temperament, and his eyes show the killing and calmness towards this age.
"Hey! How did you talk?" Master Hu was out of breath before he pointed at Wen Renchong, "Zhang Hu has just been punished for his crime! Do you want to be like Zhang Hu!"
Wen Renchong lowered his eyes and continued to strike: "Whatever."
"Hey—you—" Master Hu was very angry at him.
Gu Jiao's reaction was quite calm. She glanced at Wen Renchong and said, "Then I'll ask you again tomorrow."
After all, she put her hands behind her and turned to leave.
Wen Renchong looked at her straight back and said lightly, "You don't have to waste your energy, it's the same no matter how many times you ask, I'm a blacksmith."
Gu Jiao didn't answer, didn't stop, and left with Master Hu.
Master Hu sighed: "Sir, don't be angry, Wen Renchong has such a stinky temper. When the Han family tried to win him over, he didn't know how to flatter him. Why would he be transferred to the reserve camp to be a blacksmith?"
"Well." Gu Jiao nodded, seeming to have listened to his advice, and asked again, "You said before that Li Shen and Zhao Dengfeng are no longer in the barracks, when did they leave? Where are they now? ?"
Master Hu recalled and thought about his words and said, "The two of them... have been away for three or four years. Li Shen left first, and Zhao Dengfeng also left within two months... They used to never deal with each other. As for the two of them. Where are you now... you go to the camp to rest for a while, I'll go to the training ground to find out."
"Okay." Gu Jiao returned to her tent.
The tent was quite large, separated into two rooms by a screen, the council hall outside and her bedroom inside.
The extravagant furnishings in the camp have been removed, but it is still possible to see the luxury of the Han family in the camp from the roof and walls.
The Xuanyuan family has always been frugal in style. Although there are many farm shops under their name, the money they earn basically subsidizes the military camp.
Gu Jiao sat in the large tent with a familiar sense of mission in her heart.
—Did I get used to Jing Yinyin’s identity so quickly
"My lord! My lord! I heard it!" Master Hu stepped into the tent out of breath, bowed respectfully, and said, "Li Shen... Li Shen and Zhao Dengfeng... are both in a town outside Shengdu..."
Gu Jiao asked, "How far?"
Master Hu wiped the perspiration from his forehead and replied, "It's not too far. If you walk a short distance, you can get there in more than an hour."
On the first day of taking office, I am not skilled in business, but it is nothing... Gu Jiao said, "You can come with me."
Is it so vigorous
Master Hu was stunned for a while before he reacted: "Yes, I'll prepare the carriage."
Gu Jiao stood up, grabbed the red ying gun on the shelf and carried it on her back: "No need, ride a horse."
"Uh... but I..."
I don't know how to ride a horse...
Ma Wang continued to stay in the military camp for training.
Gu Jiao rode on Heifeng King, Hu Shiye rode on a Heifeng cavalry, and Gu Jiao went to Qiushan Town where the two were.
Qiushan Town and Tianqiong Academy are completely different directions. Gu Jiao has never been to the north of the city in the future, and feels that it is not as lively as the south of the city, but it is not desolate.
There is a freight terminal in Qiushan Town, where Li Shen works as a coolie.
There are people coming and going on the dock, there are guests rushing to get on and off the boat, and there are strong men who are responsible for carrying the goods.
Li Shen was so strong that one person grabbed three sacks and carried them on his shoulders, while everyone else only carried one.
The blue veins on his forehead bulged, and the beads of sweat dripped down like a waterfall, dripping on the bluestone floor that was distorted by the scorching sun, and disappeared with a squeak.
Many of the strong men were stricken with heat, and slumped weakly in the shadow of the cargo shed, panting.
Gu Jiao could see that Li Shen was about to suffer from heat stroke, but he just gritted his teeth and moved three bags of goods into the warehouse before resting.
He didn't rest for too long, and walked towards the cargo ship again before his physical strength was fully recovered.
"Li Shen!" Master Hu stopped him from sitting on the horse.
Li Shen looked back at Master Hu and said coldly, "You have mistaken the person."
Master Hu said sternly, "I'm not mistaken! You are Li Shen!"
"Wang Dazhu! Come and move the cargo!" On the cargo ship, a boatman yelled at him.
"Come on!" He trotted over with sweat.
"Hey—hey—Li Shen—" Master Hu screamed twice, but he still couldn't stop him in the end.
Gu Jiao sat on the back of the horse and quietly looked in Li Shen's direction: "What was his situation at the beginning?"
Master Hu said: "Do you want to ask him why he was discharged from the army? It seems that something happened to his family. His younger brother died, and the younger brother and sister remarried with the child, leaving only an elderly mother. He only took care of his mother. Retired from the military camp. But I don't understand, why did he even change his name?"
"Where is Zhao Dengfeng?" Gu Jiao asked.
Master Hu said hurriedly: "It's a restaurant three miles away. His condition is relatively good. He opened a restaurant by himself. I heard that the business is not bad."
He said, looked around, and cautiously said to Gu Jiao: "There were rumors at the time that Zhao Dengfeng had taken refuge with the Han family early, and he had been selling news to the Han family behind his back. No one would believe it. After all, he was Xuanyuan Sheng's most important lieutenant. But you see, my lord, Zhao Dengfeng and Li Shen were discharged from the army at about the same time, and Li Shen became a coolie on the dock, but Zhao Dengfeng opened a restaurant with a fortune. , you taste it carefully!"
Gu Jiao said, "So, is the money given by the Han family?"
Master Hu said with admiration, "Your Excellency is wise!"
"Go and have a look." Gu Jiao said.
