Chapter 6: Night Shadow

Yeying Pass is located west of Yunmengze, connected to Tiewei Mountain in the north. It is a famous pass in the world and the only pass in Qingzhou.

The vast clouds and water still remain unchanged, rushing the majestic iron-enclosed mountain out of a mile-long pass.

Yeying Pass is located in the deep canyon, with the peaks of thousands of feet beside the rain.

Except for the short half hour at noon, other time passes are covered by shadows, and even during the day, lights are needed.

The boat was like sailing into the night. Groups of boatmen on both sides of the shore were naked, with large dark iron rings on their thick shoulders, and holding a torch in one hand to pull the boats.

A row of docks extended outside the torch-lit city wall, and hundreds of ships were forced to stop sailing when they were pulled to the dock.

Lao Zhang's death made everyone feel depressed for a few days, and it was not until he approached Yeying Pass.

Ao Run and Feng Yuan were relieved and both felt like they were going home.

The boat was stopped several miles away from Yeying Pass. The Song army, wearing a wide-edged rim cap, ordered the ship to dock and anchor, and posted notices on the ship to issue bamboo signs with the date of suspension.

Yu Ziyuan had already received the news that he arranged for manpower to deal with the Song army who was boarding the ship for inspection, and took Cheng Zongyang and others to the shore to Yeying Pass.

From a distance, the lights on the moored boats were like stars.

The moss-filled city wall is connected with the iron-black rock, and rises straight up more than ten feet high.

The fierce mercenaries on the city tower carried arches and swords, and came down to inspect the torch.

Qingzhou pays attention to business. Although there are a large number of mercenaries in the pass, no one checks the abortions in and out.However, when entering the pass, a stone tablet was erected next to the city gate, which was engraved with the creeds of the people of Qingzhou: credit, fairness, morality, and wealth.This is the mantra of Qingzhou’s eight characters.

Fu Rundao... It is because of this that people from Qingzhou who have made a fortune!

As soon as you enter the door, someone will distribute beautifully printed brochures for free.Cheng Zongyang curiously took a book, and saw that it was full of pictures and texts, with various mottos printed: The rich must be cured, and the healing must be rich.The strong will be rich, and the rich will be strong--Te-Shu (recommended by Qin and Han dynasties) Officials do not have personal relatives, the law does not leave love, and there is nothing to do with the upper and lower levels, only the law is located I Shenzi (recommended by Six Law Schools) State-owned 111 treasures: big agriculture, big engineering, and big merchants.

Guigu Bookstore is available for sale! There is also the first collection of wealth secrets! Dongyuan Printing Bookstore is popular! Dongyuan Printing Bookstore is popular! The stone is turned into gold art. Advanced! The famous teachers in the Grand Channel Field are limited to teaching! The small words say: Private club, official business is denied. A long-lost sense of familiarity hits the face, and the air seems to be filled with a strong atmosphere of business. Whether Yu Ziyuan or Ao Boss Ao of the Xuexiao Mercenary Group, they are used to these free gifts, and they look like they are not surprised. So when they see that this military pass that should have been heavily guarded, there is a trade field, and there are more than one place, Cheng Zongyang was already surprised.

Yu Ziyuan said: The night market in Yeyingguan is unique. Many mountain people from Tieweishan and water residents from Yunmengze do not go to the Qingzhou market, but trade in the night market in Guannei.If you have time to pick it up slowly, you can often buy some rare treasures.

Fu Run said: This place is dark and there is nothing to see?After all, those things were sold to Qingzhou, so it would be better to arrive at Qingzhou Port as soon as possible.

When the Song Dynasty blocked the Yunshui Channel, Ao Run cursed a few words. Most of the money brought by the Xuexiao Mercenary Group had been used up on the way. It was originally planned to take a trip to Qingzhou, but now it has been more expensive to change to land.

Before Cheng Zongyang could speak, Ao Run came to him and asked him to come to him, and the cost was of course Lao Cheng's full charge.

In Ao Run's words, there are too many lice and no worries about debt. I already owe such a favor to Lao Cheng. I, Ao, is very happy. At worst, my brothers and others will work hard for Lao Cheng.

Everyone walked through a market, and the hawking guys walked through the crowd.

They put the baskets on their heads, and there were pine branches on the edges of the baskets to light them; hunters selling fur spread their goods along the street, piled up thick stacks around them, bargaining with customers one by one.

There is a piece of black cloth selling jewelry, with a small lamp lit at each corner, and the dragon-patterned bracelets of Yunmeng Shuimen are placed on it, and under the light, it looks like swimming water dragons.

Cheng Zongyang was just watching it in a daze when a sarcastic shout suddenly came from beside him, take it out!

Yue Shuang's beautiful eyes widened and she grabbed a man in a silk shirt.The man changed his face: What should I take!

I don’t even ask, the master is...oh!

Yueshuang was already in a bad mood, so she was even more lazy to talk nonsense to him. She grabbed his silk clothes and sniffed them open, and several purses immediately rolled out of the man's arms.The man wanted to run away, but Yue Shuang took a step forward and stepped on his feet without hesitation, grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind her back, and pressed the man to kneel on the ground neatly.

The man showed a tattoo in his neck and shouted with his neck in his arms: Master is a famous hob beef beef cattle in Qingzhou.

If you have the will of you, you will beat me to death!Death damn!Dare to be a slap master!The master is still angry, I will never end up with you!

Ao Run rolled up her sleeves and was about to give the slut a crispy one, but Xiao Zi bent down and said to Niu Yi seriously: You are not good at this, how can you steal other people's things?

Which eye did you see that I was stealing!Don't scare me with stealing!I haven’t been in prison for anything!Even if you enter the Heavenly Prison in Lin'an City, the person inside should call me Tai Sui Master!

The rogue screamed loudly, and Xiao Zi took out a waist card and shook it in front of him.The cows were choking, and their screams suddenly fell, six...six doors...

Xiao Zi smiled and said, "There is no prison in Qingzhou, and all the prisoners are sent to Song State to jail, which is the most boring."If you like it, I can send you to Qin State, and their smokehouse is short of people.

Niu Yiyi's expression changed a few times, and he put away his temper and said humbly: Sister, I really didn't steal it.

Everyone in the venue knew that I was not a good bird, but I was scolding me when I said I was stealing something.

Still lie!

Yue Shuang raised her eyebrows and said: I saw you grab your purse from someone else’s hands!

I'm prosperous!That's what others respect me!

A thin man next to him came over and whispered: That's right, that's right!It is me who respects Master Niu Yiyi.

The moon frost sign.Xiao Zi smiled and said: Did you steal Ah?

The thin man hurriedly said: Pick it up!Picked up!Really picked up!

If you pick up something, you have to return it to others.

The girl is right!

The thin man said... The young one immediately returned it to others!Return immediately!

Well, you should pay it back, I'll wait here.OK?

The last sentence was said to Niu Yiyi.Niu Yi-Yuan cunned Muzi, but he didn't dare to say anything.

With six doors, plus more than a dozen big men in the Snow Falcon Mercenary Group, they will definitely not suffer any losses.Yu Ziyuan said: There is an inn opposite. The young master will take a rest first. I will go find a carriage.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the rogue with interest, while guessing whether he was the Niu Yiding on the streets of Tokyo... No need to live, it's important to hurry up, we will leave after hiring a cart and horse.

On the inn opposite, a Taoist priest wearing a crane buckle lying against the window, holding a whisk in his hand and swaying gently. He looked at the noisy situation from afar, with a faint smile on his face.

Behind him, a tall middle-aged Taoist, with his hands in his arms, said coldly: The bitch is 80% hiding in the territory of Jin State. Why does the senior brother have to come to Qingzhou?

Lin Caiquan used the whisk to remove the dust that did not exist on his sleeve and sighed: Junior Brother Su and Junior Brother Qi have no news yet. I am uneasy these days, so I am afraid that my two junior brothers will take advantage of it.

Shang Lexuan raised his chin proudly: Senior Brother Lin is seriously injured. Why is he still unwilling to make the apostate of that bitch public to the world?

Lin Caiquan reached into the Taoist robe with one hand, stroked the thick bandage on his chest and coughed twice.Junior Sister Zhuo was deceived by a traitor and suddenly killed me.Brother Yu is seriously injured and it is difficult to get rid of it. If this matter is made public, it will inevitably cause shock.At that time, I will only rely on Junior Brother Shang, for fear that someone will be coveted.With the current plan, I can only privately explore the whereabouts of Junior Sister Zhuo.

Shang Lexuan said... My Taiyi Zhen Sect's members are everywhere, and if Junior Sister Zhuo hides in other places, she will not be able to hide it from our sect.Only when the Taoist temple in Jin State is not strong, Zhuo Jie has no news yet, and most of them are in Jin territory.

Lin Caiquan and Ou Di said: I have sent someone, I guess there will be news in the past few days.

Shang Lexuan asked '1 Why not imprison Junior Sister Zhuo's disciples?

Lin Caiquan smiled and said: It would be best if they could find Junior Sister Zhuo.

Shang Lexuan snorted, disagreed with Lin Caiquan's thoughts.

The six sects of Taiyi Zhenzong were in charge of the position of the head sect for a long time. Zhuo Yunjun's apostate to the sect was a great opportunity to attack Lin Zhilan, but Lin Caiquan let him go, which made Shang Lexuan very dissatisfied.

Lin Caiquan sighed and said, "I am the head of Taiyi Zhenzong, and now the six sects have gone again. It is the storm of the times.Whether we can stabilize the foundation of our ancestors depends on our brothers and brothers who are united in one's heart and virtue.

Shang Lexuan reluctantly said: What is the senior brother saying.

Lin Caiquan said slowly: No matter how important Junior Sister Zhuo’s affairs are, they are internal troubles, but Zoroastrianism is an external trouble.This time Zoroastrianism went deep into the Six Dynasties. Could it be that he heard some rumors?

Shang Lexuan said: I have heard a rumor.

oh?

Some people say that the Dark Demon Sea has made a comeback because the sect has produced several unparalleled talents, and their strength is stronger than before.

Lin Caiquan said in surprise, is this trip to Zoroastrianism related to the Black Demon Sea?

Shang Lexuan snorted coldly.They are all troublesome.Zoroastrianism is thousands of miles apart from us, so why bother to take matters into consideration for the sake of the Yue surname!

Lin Caiquan smiled lightly and said: The head master has passed away, how can he say he is not?

Shang Lexuan was silent for a moment.But another rumor is even more interesting.Some people have implemented the examination system in Jiangzhou, and Lin'an City has sent envoys to Jiankang.

Lin Caiquan frowned and said, "What is the matter in Jiangzhou and Lin'an?"

It is said that the man in Jiangzhou was actually in order to recruit soldiers and rebuild the Xingyue Lake Camp of King Wumu at that time.Is this actually happening?Could it be...

Shanglexing Interceptor '1 is good.The eight horses of Xingyue Lake have already appeared in Jiangzhou one by one.

Lin Caiquan nodded and said: No wonder the Lin'an government and the country were shocked.If I were the Lord Song, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Lin Caiquan said as he looked at the woman in mercenary uniforms on the street as if nothing had happened, shaking the whisk in his hand; with a smile on his face, his outspoken style was like a god.

This time, in the name of discovering the traces of the Zoroastrianism, the two strongest sects of Taiyi Zhenzong came out together. They knew that the Zoroastrianism was second, and more importantly, the two sects of Zhuo Yunjun and Qi Fanghe who were not alive and corpses were not seen.

As for Lin Zhilan, although Wang Zhe had high expectations for him, he was paranoid about his behavior. Wang Zhe had repeatedly rebuked him during his lifetime. Now he has lost Zhuo Yunjun's arm help and is unable to sing alone.

The position of the head sect finally fell on the two of them.

However, both of them did not mention the junior brother who had just finished ten years.

Wang Zhe once said when he was in the prairie that he would teach his junior brother the title of emperor and set up a tent to teach his disciples.

But when he came back from the grassland, only Su Weiyang raised this matter himself, and the other scholars pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Su Weiyang left Longchi and was most likely angry at this incident.

Shang Lexuan and Lin Caiquan made a private deal, and the two fought one after another. Lin Caiquan was the head coach for three years, and then passed it to Shang Lexuan.

After all, Shang Lexuan is more than teenager than Lin Caiquan, and he can afford to wait for this time.

As for the junior brother, not only Lin and Shang were thinking of ignoring each other, but Zhuo Yunjun, Qi Fanghe and even Lin Zhilan were the same.

Everyone knows that if the junior brother becomes the sect, he will probably fall on his shoulders within five years.

Having this talented junior brother may be a good thing for Taiyi Zhenzong, but it is not that great for several senior brothers.

After all, there is only one tutor; it’s okay for others. If the junior brother becomes the tutor, he is afraid that he will have the chance to be lucky in fifty years.

Everyone forced Niu Yiyi to return his wallet, then went to the restaurant next to the night market to order food, and it was time to go when they were full.

Yu Ziyuan met with the people in the carriage and horses, and came over to wink.Cheng Zongyang knew it, put down his chopsticks and followed Yu Ziyuan to the lower lane.

Candles were lit in a private room downstairs. A strong man like an iron tower took a step forward, his feet were thumping together, and he gave a standard military salute with his chest.Captain and company commander of the first battalion of Xingyue Lake Camp, Zang Xiu!

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: Hello Brother Zang, I am not from your army, so don’t you salute me, right?

Zang Xiusu Rong said: Mr. Cheng is the benefactor of our first battalion, so of course he should salute.

Cheng Zongyang asked curiously: Are you from the first regiment and one battalion?A soldier under Xie Yi?How many people are there in Yue Shuai’s Xingyue Lake Camp?

Zang Xiu said without any concealment: Yue Shuai’s personal guard has two regiments and six battalions.The first regiment's colonel, Meng Feiqing, was the chief of the first regiment. The three battalions were Lieutenant Colonel Xie, Lieutenant Colonel Simingxin and Lieutenant Colonel Lu Jing.1. Lieutenant Colonel Hou Xuan, the commander of the fourth battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Cui Mao, the commander of the fifth battalion, and Major Xiao Yaoyi, the commander of the sixth battalion.Each battalion is equipped with three companies, with a total of three hundred people.In addition to the three mobile companies of the regiment headquarters, the entire Xingyue Lake Camp had a total of 2,400 people.

Zang Xiu's military rank is higher than that of Yu Ziyuan. When he spoke, Yu Ziyuan did not say a word next to him.

After he finished speaking, Yu Ziyuan said: After Yue Shuai disbanded the camp, we lost some brothers.Now there are about two thousand left, most of them have set off for Jiangzhou.

He smiled. Captain Zhao and Captain Xu of the Xuexiao Mercenary Group are also brothers of our first battalion, and they are both captains like Brother Zang.

No wonder.Boss Ao muttered all day that those two were not worthy of their own, and suddenly parted without saying goodbye. It turned out that they were all your people.

Cheng Zongyang said: The little fox has added a lot of helpers this time.Who is the Song State?

Zang Xiu and Yu Ziyuan looked at each other and laughed.Zang Xiudao: This time, the Song State mobilized the Japanese army and the Long Guard army.Two of the Imperial Guard's upper fourth army came at once, and our Xingyue Lake is really worthy of being.

Cheng Zongyang knocked on the forehead.

The Song Dynasty's military system still has some impression of itself. The Song Dynasty promoted literature and suppressed military affairs, but the regular army was the most.

The elite are called the Imperial Army, and other miscellaneous brands are collectively called the wing army.

The most elite troops of the imperial guards are the Iron Cavalry, the Pangri, the Shenwei and the Longwei. The problem is that I remember that these four armies are all large armies, each with a unit of 50,000 people.

This time, the two armies of Pangri and Longwei were dispatched to a scale of nearly 100,000.

Cheng Zongyang said, 'Can the little fox beat him by 100,000 to 2,000?

Let’s see how Song Jun fought this time.If they were still an internal official to supervise the army and give pictures in the last battle, there were three people, Lieutenant Colonel Cui, Lieutenant Colonel Wang and Major Xiao, I am afraid they would not even be able to pass Lieshan.

Zang Xiu said so confidently, but Cheng Zongyang was a little suspicious, is the Song army not that weak, right?

Zang Xiudao: The Song army system has always been separated by soldiers and generals, and the Bianmi Court only carries out troops and the Taiwei Mansion only carries out troops.

When encountering war, the generals must first lead the formation map from Song Lord, then lead the military talisman to the Privy Council, and then go to the Taiwei Mansion to transfer troops.Not only did the soldiers not recognize generals or generals not recognize soldiers, but when they went to the battlefield, they had to follow the formation map issued by the Song Lord, and there were eunuchs watching them next to them.The Song army was well prepared, and the formations listed in the Northern Expedition were invincible. The real Liao cavalry surrounded him for a day but failed to break through the Song army's infantry formation. As a result, a small river disrupted the Song army's formation and immediately collapsed.

Yu Ziyuan said: Only the commander of the Song army is fixed, each with one hundred people, which is equivalent to one company in our Xingyue Lake; except for eight swordsmen and sixteen gunmen, the rest are archers.In terms of long-range shooting, no army in the Six Dynasties can compare to the Song army.But once it comes to melee, the Song army, which only shooters, will immediately disintegrate.The Song army could not set up its formation in the mountains, and our battalion could defeat them.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: I see that both of you wish you could go to the battlefield immediately.Without further ado, let’s go to Qingzhou first; send us there, so you can also leave Jiangzhou earlier to help the little fox.

Zang Xiudao... Colonel Meng ordered that our company was responsible for the safety of Miss Yue and Miss Zi in Qingzhou.

From now on, the first company of the First Battalion of the Xingyue Lake Regiment will accept the command of the young master.Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said: Is this the little fox’s idea?I think I'm not in trouble enough, so I'd have to pull me on your Xingyue Lake's pirate ship.

Zang Xiudao: Lieutenant Colonel Xie is no longer here. Our first battalion is Yue Shuai’s personal guard camp, and should be directly under Miss Yue or Zi.

This is an olive branch thrown by the little fox, inviting himself to command the first battalion on behalf of Xie Yi?

Cheng Zongyang was a little moved.

According to Zang Xiu's words, a battalion of 300 people is a strong force. After all, ordinary small sects or mercenary groups do not have so many good players.

Let’s talk about Qingzhou first.There are a total of seventeen people in our group, and the carriages and horses are arranged clearly?

There are six people in the car, and there are stations where there are cars every 100 miles to change horses.After leaving Yeying Pass, I bypass Yunmeng Ze and head east. I stay in Mei Town today and will arrive at Qingzhou Port tomorrow evening.

Cheng Zongyang stood up and settled.Let’s talk about the future in Qingzhou.yes!

Zang Xiu and Yu Ziyuan responded in unison.Cheng Zongyang stopped; Brother Zang, I want to ask if there is any news about Guangming Guantang?

Zang Xiudao', Qingzhou is a Shangyi, and people are not allowed to check the entry and exit of the people.What do you want to ask about?I send someone to pay attention.

Cheng Zongyang sighed, that's not necessary.
