Invincible son

Chapter 42 042 [Chaos]

A total of five official roads were built in Daliang Jingdu, one in the north, one in the northwest, two in the south, and one in the east.In comparison, the official road in the northwest is the most regulated, with a wide and flat road surface, the two in the south are next, and the narrowest is the official road in the east.

A group of three led their horses out of the East City Gate. The young man in the middle was a strong man. It was Qin Xian, the sentinel of the Western Day Camp who had delivered news to Pei Yue a few days ago.

"Brother, you have made such a great contribution this time, so I think you must be promoted to Guerrilla?" The young man on Qin Xian's left smiled. He was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a look of expectation on his face.

The young man on the right jokingly said, "Guerrilla? I don't think it's impossible for the generals! Those bandits have been causing trouble for several months, and no one can do anything about it. As soon as the eldest brother made a move, he killed one leader and captured two alive." , How much credit is this? Otherwise, why did Zuo Junji specially summon the eldest brother alone?"

The three of them have known each other since childhood, and they all fell from family backgrounds. From the incomparable founder of the country back then to the current few people who care about them, it can be said that they have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, so their relationship has become closer.On the [-]th birthday of Pei Taijun in Dingguo Duke's Mansion, the three of them were arranged at Pei Yue's table, watching other people talking, but they were the only ones who kept their heads down and ate the food in silence.Although Pei Yue didn't treat them badly, the young man had a different feeling in his heart. If given the opportunity, who would be willing to be a supporting role who listened silently?
Originally, he wanted to go to the border to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, but he didn't want Qin Xian to make the first contribution to suppress the bandits because of a group of daring bandits, and was even called by the high-ranking Xifu Zuo Junji to teach them face-to-face. The generals were surprised, and even the harsh Shangguan in the past became kind.

Qin Xian shook his head calmly and said: "It's just taking a few bandit chieftains, what kind of credit is it? If the higher-ups promote me to be a general just because of this incident, what will the soldiers who fought bloody on the border think? You don't care. Take care of your mouth and don't make trouble for me."

The burly young man on the left is named Xue Meng, who was born in the Marquis of Xingyang. Like Qin Xian, he also worked as a sentry officer in the West Camp.He scratched his head when he heard the words, and asked puzzledly: "Brother, is there no reward from above?"

Qin Xian said in a low voice: "The bandits are still entrenched in the Hengduan Mountains, and they will definitely not reward me at this time. The inside is very complicated, and there will be no conclusion in a while. But Zuo Junji mentioned it to me, wait After the dust settles on this matter, allow me to go to the southern border army, and at least I can lead soldiers from the capital."

The two people beside them were overjoyed.

One is five sentries, and the chief general is called guerrilla. Although they are only in charge of five hundred soldiers, the two who are familiar with the Daliang military system know that the step from sentry officer to guerrilla is the most difficult.Daliang has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are many noble mansions. Which family has not given birth to a lot of children and grandchildren?These people will all join the army, but there are only so many positions to lead soldiers, so many people have to wait for the opportunity.Those generals with strong backgrounds can be the commander's personal soldiers almost as soon as they join the army, and it won't take long before they can be put down to serve as the generals of the capital.Those like Qin Xian who cannot rely on their family background can only start from the most ordinary soldiers. Although they can be promoted to sentry officers soon, it is extremely difficult to climb up.

Many people have been trapped in the position of sentinel all their lives.

Qin Xian is 20 years old this year. If he can go to the border as a guerrilla and make some contributions, he may be able to earn a commander in the first guard in the future.

The three got on their horses and walked slowly along the official road to the east.

The young man on the right was named Xie Bi, and he had a straightforward personality. He asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of person is Zuo Junji?"

Qin Xian frowned slightly and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Xie Bi smiled and said, "I heard that Zuo Junji's martial arts are mediocre, but I don't know if it's true or not?"

Qin Xian was slightly dissatisfied, and said sternly: "Don't talk about this, Duke Wei is the leader of the country, how important is martial arts?"

Xue Meng also nodded and said: "Conquest on the battlefield, martial arts is a small way, and the youngest likes to dream all day long, thinking that he can be like the ancestors of Dingguo, cut off the head of the enemy's commander in the tens of thousands of troops, and then become famous all over the world .”

Xie Bi was not angry either, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "Second brother, I don't dare to compare myself to the ancestors of Dingguo, but one has to think about it."

The three of them laughed, and at this moment, they could only hear the sound of swift horseshoes coming from behind, and the knight shouted loudly, telling them to retreat and dodge.

Qin Xian turned his head and looked, and saw a group of thirty or so horses galloping forward. The first few people were dressed luxuriously and looked haughty, followed by a group of strong and well-built masters in strong clothes.Seeing the surrounded young man in the middle, Qin Xian calmly motioned the two brothers to move to the side of the road.

The young man seemed to know Qin Xian too, but he passed by blankly without even saying hello.

After these people rushed over, Xie Bi couldn't help but spat on the ground and cursed: "A group of dogs look down on people!"

Qin Xian didn't get angry, he just looked at the dust that the group of people brought up after they passed by, his face was thoughtful.

Seeing this, Xue Meng asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Qin Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Li Bingzhong seems to be blooming with flowers these years, especially after marrying his daughter to Dingguo's mansion, he has become a powerful figure who is close to both sides. With such an old man around, Li Zijun is arrogant and domineering." It is also inevitable. We are not the same as him, so why should the third brother be angry?"

Xie Bi nodded, but in the end he said a little annoyed: "If the elder brother hadn't acted righteously, this bastard would have been useless, but now he doesn't even say hello when we meet, what a villain!"

Qin Xian waved his hand, frowned slightly, and said: "There is no need to mention the past, there will be an explanation in the future."

Let’s talk about the group of domineering young people galloping all the way, causing passers-by on the official road to dodge in embarrassment, and even a middle-aged woman in plain clothes fell to the side of the road in fright. It was harsh, and no one asked if the woman was okay, so they laughed and continued on their way.

This middle-aged woman has an ordinary face, carrying a burden, like a villager visiting relatives.

After the group of knights walked away, the middle-aged woman got up and patted the dust off her clothes, and continued to walk forward unhurriedly, with a calm expression on her face.If someone observes secretly, they will find that she seems to be walking slowly, but in fact she walks calmly and breathes long, and she is actually a master of martial arts.

This woman is Aunt Leng who appeared on the unnamed peak in the northern section of the Hengduan Mountains that day.

At this moment, she was barefaced, clothed in a hairpin skirt, and there were already heavy traces of age on her face. She was walking alone on this official road, and occasionally asked passers-by about the location of Lvliuzhuang, only saying that she was here to visit relatives.

Not long after, a teenager riding a tall horse and guarding a canopy carriage passed by her, and a few maidservants followed beside the carriage.

Aunt Leng stepped aside quickly, but when she saw the emblem of the Quang Binh Marquis Mansion on the carriage, her heart moved slightly.

Then I saw the young man on horseback slowing down to be at the same level as the carriage, leaning over to the side of the carriage and laughing: "Little sister, that boy's Zhuangzi is not far ahead, I will go tell him later and let him clean up." How about taking you there for a while?"

A young girl's weak voice came from the carriage: "It's all arranged by the fourth brother."

Gu Fan smiled with satisfaction, glanced around, and inadvertently paused on Aunt Leng.

The fourth son of the Gu family, he has the best talent in martial arts, but apart from Gu Liang, no one knows that Gu Fan is born with another ability, which is to sense the breath of warriors and a keen sense of danger. Liang is not as good as him.

Gu Fan only glanced at the seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman on the side of the road, and his heart suddenly became alert, but he didn't show it at all, he just glanced at Aunt Leng, and continued to ride forward.But unlike before, he didn't take the lead again, instead he leaned against the carriage, chatting with Gu Zhen.

Aunt Leng didn't notice the boy's abnormality, she still pretended to be an honest peasant woman.

Green Willow Village is already in sight.
