Jinyu Dynasty 7 Quenching Mirror

The team set off slowly.

Xuan Huaifeng and Bai Xuelan each rode a horse, walking side by side in the team.

At this time, he took some time to look carefully at the cavalry in front of him and behind him. He saw that they were all wearing neat yellow military uniforms, knee-length leather boots on their feet, fur-trimmed hats, and black belts buckled around their waists. They were tight, and all of them were full of spirit.

And they are different from Song Ren's guards, they don't carry long guns, but have two large pistol holsters hanging on both sides of their waists, which look extremely weighty.

Seeing him staring at the cavalry, Bai Xuelan asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I heard that there was a pistol guard in the past. Everyone was equipped with a pistol. They were very brave in close combat. Is this probably the case?"

Bai Xuelan smiled with a little pride, and said lightly, "It's not just a pistol battalion. It's just that I worked hard to train them back then, so I didn't spare the cost of their equipment. The horses they rode, They are better than the horses of ordinary company commanders and battalion commanders. The pistols they use are also incomparable with the pistol guards under other commanders."

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Why can't we compare?"

Bai Xuelan said, "When I take a break later, I will ask Big Beard to show you his gun, and you will know it naturally."

Soon, the team entered the forest, Bai Xuelan ordered the team to stop and rest.

Xuan Huaifeng got off the horse, and sat down with Bai Xuelan on the ground where the cavalrymen had laid a large mattress, looked up through the dry branches, looked at the sky, and asked puzzledly, "It's still broad daylight, just on our way, Why did you suddenly rest?"

Bai Xuelan said, "You are still a considerate person. Why didn't you think that we woke up and had breakfast, and came out of Jiangjiabao calmly. Those people with blue beards came here in a hurry. Twelve o'clock The clock is past, shouldn't they stop, have a lunch, and rest a little longer?"

When Xuan Huaifeng heard it, it really was such a truth, so he very much agreed with Bai Xuelan's idea.

At this time, everyone got off their horses early. These military horses have been well-trained, and they naturally have a kind of intimacy with the riders, and they don’t need to be tied. Watching the gestures of their owners, they stay nearby in twos and threes, and don’t run around. .

The cavalry also cherished their mounts very much. After resting, they did not care about their own food, but took out fodder first to feed their horses.

When Xuan Huaifeng saw him, he also asked for some fodder to feed the horse he was riding.But the horse didn't even eat it, and turned around to eat the fodder in the hands of another cavalryman.

While feeding his General Bai, Bai Xuelan said with a smile, "This horse must be taken care of by him on a daily basis, so it only thinks about his delicious food. This feeding relationship is very good, who is used to it?" , I only think about who."

Xuan Huaifeng understood the meaning of this teasing, he only stared at Bai Xuelan, and then went back to the place just now and sat down.

After Bai Xuelan finished feeding her fodder, she didn't care about General Bai's attachment to rubbing herself with the horse's head, asking for more food, then turned around and sat down beside Xuan Huaifeng.

At this time, the blue bearded man brought some food and put it on the mattress, asking them to use it.

Bai Xuelan looked it over and found a flat metal jug filled with spirits, and the rest were dried meat, peanuts and the like, and said, "Adjutant Xuan has a bad stomach, I dare not let him eat these hard things. "

So he asked someone to bring Zhang Dasheng over, and told him, "Last time you shot roe deer out of nowhere, which ruined my interest in enjoying the snow, so I haven't punished you yet. I'll punish you now, and go get some fresh game for Adjutant Xuan. "

Zhang Dasheng smiled and said, "Chief, what is your punishment here? It's clearly a good job. I'm willing to hunt wild game for Adjutant Xuan. Just wait and see, you must get some good things to honor."

Salute, turn around and leave.

Bai Xuelan added behind his back, "No shooting is allowed. Once the gun is fired, the whole forest will be shaken, and it will disturb me talking with your Adjutant Xuan again."

Zhang Dasheng replied "I know", and went looking for wild game.

Xuan Huaifeng frowned and said, "It's such a trivial matter, why bother?"

Bai Xuelan said, "Anyway, I want to rest here, but it's nothing to send him to work hard. You just sit quietly and wait for something good to eat."

Dried meat and peanuts, he was afraid that Xuan Huaifeng would not be able to eat them if he ate them in winter, so he was not allowed to eat them.But he himself ate, sitting on the mattress, munching on jerky and eating peanuts, while asking Blue Beard about the situation after the farewell.

After saying a few words, I suddenly remembered something again, and said to the blue bearded man, "Bring your gun and show it to Adjutant Xuan."

For soldiers, the guns that are carried with them are life-saving things, and they are generally not easily touched by others.

But since it was Bai Xuelan who spoke, Blue Beard didn't hesitate at all, so he took out the pistol and handed it to Xuan Huaifeng.

Xuan Huaifeng weighed it, it was really heavy, much heavier than the Browning that Bai Xuelan gave him, and it was also big.

When his father was around, he loved him very much, and he didn't want him to touch guns and other dangerous things, but now that he is in contact with the planning of the arsenal, he often learns this aspect of knowledge specially, so he holds it in his hand and takes a look. , I counted it in my heart, and said to the blue bearded man, "I noticed just now, are all the cavalry under your command equipped with two? machine, enough to launch a close-range lightning charge. This thing is more powerful than ordinary pistols, and its range is farther than ordinary pistols. It fires semi-automatically, and the bullet capacity is larger than that of a rifle, which can take a big advantage."

The blue bearded man saw that he looked gentle and handsome, and he looked like a handsome scholar. Although he could ride a horse, he might not be a gunslinger. Now that he heard these words, he immediately looked at him with admiration and said pleasantly, "So he is really an expert. But our twenty rings , not the usual twenty rings."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Of course. Look at the marks on the gun. It is made by the Mauser Arsenal in Germany. It is an authentic imported product, and it is not of the same grade as those common imitations in China. I am afraid that such a genuine product will be sold for a Seven or eight hundred silver dollars."

The blue bearded man slapped his thigh hard with his hand, and said in awe, "Adjutant Xuan, you really know the goods! It's just that you can't buy this now for seven or eight hundred silver dollars. You have to take out at least one thousand silver dollars. That's also worth it." See if you can buy it."

Bai Xuelan leisurely tore up the jerky, put it in her mouth, and asked from the side, "Big Beard, what do you think of me?"

The blue beard gave a thumbs up and said, "Commander, you are the sure-fire Dragon Lord moving!"

Xuan Huaifeng had never heard this before, and he didn't know what the idea of ​​moving was, so he asked Bai Xuelan in a low voice.

Bai Xuelan smiled and blew warm air in his ear, and replied, "Lord Dragon is moving - Lihai. He said you are very powerful."

Xuan Huaifeng was praised and smiled kindly at the blue bearded man.

Because he knew that Xuan Huaifeng was an expert in firearms, the big blue beard became more friendly with him, so he touched his chin with his hand and said with a smile, "Adjutant Xuan, I noticed that you have looked at my chin several times. Are you looking at where my beard grows?"

Xuan Huaifeng was pointed out by him, he was quite embarrassed, and asked politely, "Did you grow a beard before, but did you shave it off later?"

Blue Beard laughed and said, "You heard people call me Blue Beard, don't you think my beard is still blue? In fact, my surname is Lan, and I haven't used my real name for many years, so I don't mention it anymore. nickname, not because I had a beard on my chin, but because I had a beard before."

Only then did Xuan Huaifeng remember that in some places, bandits are also called thieves and beards.

It turned out that this person was actually a character who robbed houses in the past.

The big blue beard said, "I'm not bragging. Back then, I was the number one person in the green forest. It was a shame and a shame to be captured alive by the army commander, but in the end, it was a blessing in disguise and I was back on the right track. But I used to do evil. Too many, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash them clean in this life, and after I die, I'll still go to the [-]th floor of hell. So I worked hard to follow the army commander to kill the bandits, and maybe save a few more families. You can count me less."

Bai Xuelan talked about the past that night, and foreshadowed Xuan Huaifeng. Xuan Huaifeng already guessed that there would be many surprises on the way back.

So at this time, knowing that Bai Xuelan, who hated bandits the most, had actually surrendered a former bandit and accepted him as a cronies, he was not too surprised, and only looked at Bai Xuelan.

Bai Xuelan had been observing his behavior for a long time, and seeing that he was not disgusted, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said frankly, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. People must have a chance to reform themselves. What's more , The blue bearded man is really good at leading the soldiers."

He also called a guard who came out from Jiangjiabao, and told him, "For the food brought out from Jiangjiabao, bring some soft pastries, and give Adjutant Xuan a stomach pad."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Why did you bring food from Jiangjiabao?"

Bai Xuelan said, "Before I left, I asked someone to get it from the kitchen."

Xuan Huaifeng smiled and said, "I really want to say that you have ten orifices in one heart. In that situation, you can still think about these little things."

Bai Xuelan said, "It's for you to eat. Your business is nothing small."

Xuan Huaifeng glanced shyly at the place where the blue bearded man was sitting, and saw that the blue bearded man didn't seem to hear anything, but just ate a mouthful of jerky and drank a sip of soju, knowing in his heart that the other party was probably pretending to be confused.

The guard came back quickly, and sure enough, he took a big bag of pastries.

Open the oiled paper, and wrap the inside separately one by one. There are a lot of them, but there are only two varieties.One is a sweet noodle cake, and the other is a round glutinous rice cake with minced bacon.

Bai Xuelan leaned over to have a look, and said, "It's inconvenient to heat up things now, don't eat glutinous rice cakes cold, just eat some noodle cakes first."

Xuan Huaifeng took a piece of noodle cake, put it in his mouth and bit it slowly, maybe he was hungry, but it was quite sweet after eating.

After eating a piece of cake, he smiled at Bai Xuelan and asked, "Since you have prepared something to eat, why did you ask Zhang Dasheng to hunt wild game?"

Bai Xuelan said, "When the wild game comes back, we have to cook and bake it. I have time to wait. Let's eat the cakes first, and keep the wild game for you to eat at night."

Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback, "Could it be that you want to rest until night?"

Before Bai Xuelan could answer, the guard who brought the cakes just now came back and reported, "Adjutant Sun asked if Adjutant Xuan is free, and I would like to ask Adjutant Xuan to go over and say a few words."

Xuan Huaifeng turned his face to see what Bai Xuelan meant.

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "He said those manly things in front of you. I'm afraid he will make you his confidant from now on. Go and chat with him."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I'll bring him two cakes."

I picked two sweet noodle cakes from the oil paper and followed the guards.

Arrived in front of Adjutant Sun's caravan.

It turned out that Adjutant Sun was not lying on the caravan, but got out of the caravan long ago, leaning on a wooden stick that was temporarily used as a crutch, and eagerly asked Xuan Huaifeng, "What is the plan of the chief?"

Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback, and asked back, "Where did the chief come from for the plan?"

Adjutant Sun said, "There must be a plan. If there is no plan, why stop here?"

Only then did Xuan Huaifeng know where his thoughts came from, and he gave him a relieved smile, helped him to sit on the edge of the caravan, and said to him, "I'm afraid you have misunderstood. People, I really hope that the commander-in-chief will come up with a plan. However, the commander-in-chief's order to stop the journey is just to show sympathy for his soldiers who are on the way, and it really does not have the purpose you hoped for."

Then he told Adjutant Sun what Bai Xuelan said.

He took out the two pieces of sweet rice cakes and invited Adjutant Sun to eat them.

Holding the two pieces of rice cakes, Adjutant Sun was disappointed at first, but then for some reason, his expression changed slightly, and he let out a chuckle.

Xuan Huaifeng said worriedly, "Adjutant Sun, I know you're anxious, but didn't you say that you should live well first? Don't think too much about it."

Adjutant Sun was still smiling, and said to Xuan Huaifeng, "Adjutant Xuan, the chief is still that temperamental, and he likes to coax you to play. Otherwise, he is going to surprise you."

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "How?"

Adjutant Sun raised his hand, pointed to the distance and said, "Do you know where it is?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Of course I know, it's the Jiangjiabao."

Adjutant Sun asked, "Then you know, what is this place?"

Xuan Huaifeng didn't know what the question meant, so he didn't answer for a while.

Adjutant Sun said, "Adjutant Xuan, you fired so many shots on the gate tower, why didn't you remember it. When the bandits came, I hid in the cellar uselessly, but because of my duty, I went to it on purpose afterwards. Gatehouse, who understands the whole process. The place we are standing now..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuan Huaifeng had already recalled it, and then he said, "Yes, that day the bandits were about to flee into the forest, and the chief suddenly appeared like a heavenly soldier, and he went out from here."

Adjutant Sun said, "This place is where you can check the movement of Jiangjiabao, but it is difficult to observe us from the gate tower of Jiangjiabao. From the perspective of military tactics, it is a good place for Tibetan soldiers to ambush. The chief stops here Next, I guess, he is waiting for a fighter."

Xuan Huaifeng was dubious, and said, "It's hard to judge based on this alone."

Adjutant Sun's eyes glowed, and he said firmly, "There must be nothing wrong. You think, stopping at such a place is hardly a coincidence. What's more, those people with blue beards, who are as strong as cows, spent days and nights It's just normal if you don't sleep. The chief will ask Adjutant Xuan to wait in the snowy forest for these trivial matters? Besides, he would rather let you eat a piece of cold noodle cake today than make people angry. Eat hot and hot. Why is that?"

Without waiting for Xuan Huaifeng to speak, he answered by himself, "That's because a fire was lit in the forest, and the smoke drifted out, and the people in Jiangjiabao saw it, which would alert people. So, there is indeed a plan. planning."

Xuan Huaifeng listened, and believed it half to eighty percent. He frowned and said, "Sure enough, there is a plan? Why didn't he tell me directly?"

With hope in his heart, Adjutant Sun's mood became much better, and he said with a smile, "You are a very cute person, so he has a habit, whenever there is a chance, he must put some thought into it and take a look at you." Hurry up, let me tease you."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "For me, this is not a good habit. Even if you guessed right, what about now? Should I expose him?"

Adjutant Sun said, "If he doesn't tell you now, he naturally has some thoughts on his mind. Why bother to expose it? Now that I know that the chief has a plan, then my heart is settled. I know that he will not let us down." Yes. We'll just wait and see how he gets going. When it's time for us to do it, we'll do it bravely."

When he said this, maybe he was thinking of the woman he wanted to protect, so he firmly held the wooden stick in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground twice.
