Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 136 A Past of Zhenbei Army

Jiuquan governs Fulu City and governs nine counties.Located between the Altun Mountains, Qilian Mountains and Mazong Mountains at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, it has been the transportation fortress from the Central Plains to the Western Regions since ancient times. It is named because "there is a golden spring under the city, and its water is like wine".

Liu Suifeng and Li Chengyuan led the horses into Fulu City, and Li Chengyuan waved excitedly behind him: "Master, master...uncle, come quickly!"

Li Chengyuan took the risk to swallow the word "teacher's wife" back to his stomach, which caused Liu Suifeng beside him to laugh.

Xiao Qianli and Lu Wuyan came slowly with their horses. Both of them were dressed in tight-fitting Confucian-style robes.

For a long time, it was Xiao Qianli who went out to expand the territory, while Lu Wuyan stayed in the Chunyang Palace.This time down the mountain, Xiao Qianli deliberately brought Lu Wuyan with him. Although this pretty junior sister didn't say much, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

Since Lu Wuyan went up the mountain, except for shopping in the nearby Taiping Town, he rarely travels far.Seeing such a lively and prosperous Fulu City at this time, I am already dazzled, and everything I see feels very fresh.Hearing Li Chengyuan's call at this moment, he turned his head to look.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Lu Wuyan couldn't help asking curiously when he saw a large group of people surrounded by an open space not far away.

"Looks like he's playing a monkey?" Xiao Qianli glanced at it a few times and replied casually.

"Brother, I'm going to take a look!"

Lu Wuyan couldn't help but put the reins in Xiao Qianli's hands, and Li Chengyuan also handed the reins to Liu Suifeng, and the two squeezed into the crowd together.I saw an old man in the crowd at a glance, crackling the leather whip in his hand, and several clever little monkeys turned somersaults and played a few tricks from time to time, and another little monkey in floral clothes was holding a small whip in his hand. The gongs are banging vigorously.

The climate in the northwest counties is very cold, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and there are very few monkeys living there.Therefore, when the monkey-playing old man came, the curious people immediately surrounded him, applauding and laughing endlessly.

Lu Wuyan's face flushed with excitement, and he clapped his hands in applause. Seeing the little monkey in flowered clothes turn over the gong and hold it over in somersaults to ask for a reward, he filled tens of hundreds of copper coins in a short while, even Lu Wuyan He also took out five big coins and put them in the gong.

In the previous life, Xiao Qianli had seen many more wonderful circuses, so naturally he was not interested, so he led the horse to the side, and saw Liu Suifeng standing there quietly leading the two horses.

"Suifeng, what are you thinking?"

Liu Suifeng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Master, Suifeng has lived here for more than ten years, and he has never seriously looked at this Fulu City. Now that he has returned to his hometown, things are different and people have changed. touch."

Xiao Qianli said with a smile: "When I was teaching you "Xuanbing Gong", did you ever think that you would return to Jiuquan in this way today?"

Liu Suifeng could only smile shyly at his teacher's teasing, Xiao Qianli smiled and said: "Always take care of yourself when you are idle, don't overdo it, think about it when you are moving, plan carefully from the quiet, and calm your mind also!"

Liu Suifeng chewed a few words carefully, but saw Uncle Lu coming out from the crowd, walking slowly side by side with his master leading the horse, and just about to keep up, he heard a gentle voice asking: "Young friend, be polite!"

Liu Suifeng turned his head to look, but saw a tall and handsome man holding a white horse standing not far away, asking him a question.

This man is about 25 or [-] years old, wearing a yellow shirt, with star-like eyes and sword eyebrows.The skirts, belts, cuffs and shoulder ornaments are all covered with gold, silver and jade, which looks extremely luxurious.Although he is a rich man, he doesn't look vulgar, on the contrary, he looks more elegant.

Liu Suifeng glanced at him a few times, and his eyes fell on the two long swords behind him, one big and one small, and he couldn't help being secretly startled, this light sword is nothing more than that, the heavy sword is long and big, I'm afraid it won't fit It weighs thirty to forty catties, how can this person swing it with one hand?

"Light and heavy swords? This person's swordsmanship must be both strong and soft. Sometimes he lifts weights lightly, and sometimes he lifts weights lightly. If I fight with him, I'm afraid I will be caught off guard... In the northwest, there is such a strange sect A good swordsman?"

Seeing Liu Suifeng's appearance clearly, the young man was also slightly stagnant. He felt that the young man in front of him contained essence in his eyes, and his gestures seemed to carry extremely mysterious trajectories. Rotate slowly around him.

"This person's skill does not seem to be too high, but the aura around him vaguely echoes with the heaven and the earth. It seems that his cultivation level is far beyond my imagination... I don't know which school this young man is from, but he has such abilities? "

The two secretly guessed separately, at that moment Liu Suifeng gave a Daoist peer ceremony, and replied: "I'm polite, I don't know what's the matter with you?"

The man in yellow was only slightly taken aback, then returned to normal, and asked politely: "Looking at the long sword on my back, my little friend must also be a member of the martial arts. May I ask where the Northern Army of Dayan Town is stationed now?"

"Suppressing the North Army?" Liu Suifeng replied after pondering for a while, "As far as I know, the Suppressing North Army is stationed in four routes, respectively deployed in Jiuquan, Hetao, Huaiyuan, and Suzhou. Which way?"

The man in yellow was stunned, and said in surprise: "Suppressing the North Army has dragged the battle line so long? I have never heard of this..."

Liu Suifeng smiled and said: "The Zhenbei Army not only divides into four groups to guard the fortress of the Northland, but also has multiple military branches such as Longwu, Changsheng, and Tayan. If you want to find someone, you must inquire clearly in advance."

The man in yellow smiled wryly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little friend!"

Liu Suifeng kindly reminded: "If your Excellency wants to find someone, you might as well go to Jiayu Plateau, [-] miles west of this place, to explore. There are some elites from Zhenbei stationed there, and there may be some clues."

The man in yellow bowed his hands again to express his thanks, and led the white horse towards the west. The white horse caught a glimpse of the horse in Liu Suifeng's hands, looked at it suspiciously at first, then snorted, stopped its front hooves, and refused to live or die. take a step.

"Sa Lu, don't be petty!" The man in yellow patted the white horse's head affectionately, stretched out his hand to rub the long mane a few times, and comforted him, "We'll find an inn to rest in a while, I promise Let you eat good alfalfa today."

Being coaxed and pulled by the master, the white horse started unwillingly, looking back from time to time, as if it saw something.

It's a pity that the young man in yellow was so preoccupied that he didn't notice the strangeness of his horse, instead he lowered his head and walked slowly past Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng watched him walk more than ten feet away, and suddenly he was patted on the shoulder, turned his head and said with a smile: "Third Junior Brother, you are leisurely and contented. Uncle Lu has already come out, but you have been watching for so long."

Li Chengyuan said with a chuckle: "It's rare to see it, senior brother, why are you in a daze here?"

Liu Suifeng replied with a smile: "Just now someone asked about Zhenbei Army, I pointed him to go to Jiayu! Third Junior Brother, didn't you also serve in Zhenbei Army?"

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "I was an elite scout of the Zhenbei Army back then, if I hadn't been ambushed, the entire army would have been wiped out, maybe I am still in the Zhenbei Army now Subordinates listen to it."

It was the first time Liu Suifeng heard Li Chengyuan mention Zhongfu, and he couldn't help asking excitedly: "Zhongfu? What's going on? Didn't it mean that there have been no border wars in recent years?"

"Hey, where is such a good thing?" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "The inland is singing and dancing, how do you know how many northern nomads have been repelled by the Zhenbei Army guarding outside the pass? Although there are no large-scale battles, small-scale conflicts, every day I will come here several times every other month. Apart from a few frontier generals, the Zhenbei Army has lost countless waves of dead soldiers... Didn’t Xiaopi’s father die in the army?”

He sighed softly: "When I was stationed in Huaiyuan, I saw that the cold winter was approaching, and the nomadic cavalry looted wantonly. It was really unbearable. Therefore, the border guards set up pocket formations to lure the enemy into ambush, hoping to win the battle. Unexpectedly, the intelligence came. By mistake, we waited for more than [-] soldiers and horses, but were bitten and intercepted by our opponent [-] Qingqi. After a hard fight, the [-] elites almost died..."

Liu Suifeng couldn't help but let out an "ah" and asked, "What about the enemy?"

Li Chengyuan spread his hands, shook his head and said: "I don't know, anyway, they should have suffered a big loss. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Liu Suifeng also vaguely knew about Li Chengyuan's relationship with the Kongtong faction, so he nodded silently and stopped asking.

Li Chengyuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly asked: "Senior brother, you said someone asked about the Zhenbei Army? Could it be that they are here to find someone?"

Liu Suifeng turned his head to look at the direction in which the young man in yellow left, and saw that the two of them talked a few words just now, and the young man had already disappeared, so he nodded and said: "Yes, who knows what he is looking for to suppress the North Army? Never mind him, it's only reasonable that we have to find Master and Uncle first."

Reminded by Liu Suifeng's words, Li Chengyuan took Qingying's reins and said with a smile: "That's right, let's go after Master!"

At this moment, Xiao Qianli encountered a little trouble.

Speaking of it, the matter is very simple, and it is even more bloody - because the naturally beautiful junior sister Lu Wuyan has been entangled by several people.

Originally, Xiao Qianli could use seventeen or eighteen methods to send the other party away, but he stopped uncharacteristically.

Because he accidentally found a familiar face among the few people who were looking for trouble--the second child of Liufu in Jiuquan, the second brother of Liu Suifeng, Liu Suiyun who should have been disabled.
