Opposite the entrance hall

Before the sun came out, there was mist in the forest, chirping birds were circling in the air, the crowd on the trail in front gradually moved away, and the sound of horseshoes gradually subsided.

Qi Ran watched very seriously, until the group of people disappeared from sight, but he felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

At this time, there was a sudden clatter of horseshoes behind him, and he turned his head abruptly, caught sight of Pei Zhan who appeared behind him at some point, narrowed his eyes and frowned, "Why are you here?"

"I'm asking you this." Pei Zhan turned over and got off his horse, and led the horse closer, "Did you not pay attention to me at all, senior brother? The training ground of the Outer Imperial Army is nearby. I, the leader of the army, is practicing in the forest." As for the training, if you walk around casually, who knows that this horse will be noisy, and it has never been like this before, so I simply come over to have a look, but you, why are you here? Are you here last night or did you come out of the city gate this morning?"

This question was very tricky, Qi Ran didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden, he looked away at the horse behind him, and raised his chin at him, "How did you find it?"

"Your horse is a stallion, my Taying, tsk, it's that white jade lion." He was afraid that Qi Ran would not know and pointed to the white horse beside him, "The white jade lion is very sensitive to the sound of its species, not to mention it is Mother, don't you get excited when you hear this male's voice, besides, people might not be sure that they were originally a couple, but you broke them apart, look at what you did, isn't this a human thing."

Qi Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, he straightened his horse's mane which was tangled up by Master Dew in the morning, led the horse over the people, and waved his back to him, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Pei Zhan yelled at his background, "You haven't said why you came here so early in the morning?"

It seems that this problem is inescapable.

Qi Ran narrowed his eyes, turned around while leading the horse again, patted Pei Zhan on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Don't ask, it's not good for you to know too much, and only the dead can keep secrets."

The sullen look of this person is indeed very confusing, but the two have known each other for so many years, how can he not understand what kind of temperament Qi Ran is?You can hide a little shit for a few years. Take the matter of secretly infatuating with the little prince back then. It wasn't until the little prince died that the man was going crazy, and I didn't see the clue. Otherwise, I would be indifferent to him. Hot temper, who the hell can tell, if he doesn't want you to know something, you can't help it.

Pei Zhan's heart was clear, he patted Qi Ran's hand on his shoulder away, and rolled his eyes, "It's fine if you don't say anything, grandpa still doesn't want to listen, just hide your little thoughts from me!" , Don’t tell me about it, I won’t listen.”

Qi Ran smiled and said, "You can stay alone, let's go."

Who knew that Gai took a step and was pulled back by someone's neck, "Don't, I've come here, let's talk before leaving, you have never been to this forbidden military academy, I am training soldiers, you go and see Let me give you some advice."

"It's time for a while." Qi Ran looked back at the person behind him.

"It's not too early. It's really not good. I'll find someone to send you a message. Master Wei loves you so much. If his eldest daughter has children and the younger daughter is only thirteen, I reckon he would want to let you go." You are his son-in-law, I don't believe he can punish you, I have something new and I want you to check it out for me."

"what's up?"

Pei Zhan raised his eyebrows: "You'll know if you go and have a look."

Qi Ran couldn't screw him, and was really curious about what the gangster soldiers would look like under Pei Zhan's hands, so he followed.

The place Pei Zhan chose was in a dense forest. Guo Sheng saw the two of them when they arrived, and greeted them from a distance, "I have seen the second son, why did the general bring the second son here?"

Guo Sheng is Pei Zhan's confidant, and his father's generation also followed the Pei family all the way. He grew up with the brothers and sisters of the Pei family when he was young. The Qi family and the Pei family are family friends, so his relationship with Qi Ran is naturally similar I know him a lot, and he didn't call Qi Shaoqing like other people, but the second son who always called him.

The Guo family is twins, and he should have stayed outside the pass with his brother to lead the Pei family's army, but Pei Zhan was ordered to return to Beijing this time, and things inside were not so easy after all, so he hesitated and followed.

"This drill is too simple, it won't be exciting for them," Pei Zhan said with a smile, and followed Qi Ran to the highest slope, leaned forward and stretched his head to look into the dense forest. "What's the situation now?"

"Zhenyi is in the east, Kaner is in the north, Duisan is in the west, and Lisi is in the south. Previously, Lisi launched the first round of attack. Duisan attacked with 30 short-pointed spears in the Long Snake Formation, but Duisan did not respond. They retreated when they couldn't stand the stalemate, and Kan Er took the defense. They found a lot of stones and branches to build a base, as if they were going to fight a protracted battle. I also dug a few boxes of moss by the river." Guo Sheng said.

"Let them go. It's been a stalemate for a few days, and the time is almost up. Somebody has to make the first move." Pei Zhan plucked a grass and dropped it in his mouth, and said in a breathless manner.

Qi Ran stood next to him. This place was temporarily converted into a camp. There were quite a few war drum tents on the map, and he put two plates of apples comfortably. He took a look at the terrain distribution around the hillside. I saw the swaying branches of people and the appearance of a figure walking inside. It can be seen more clearly in a place with a slightly wider field of vision. There is a group of people wearing the costumes of the Imperial Guard in the west, and the south is also the same, the difference is that the elbows are tied. The color of the bag is different, the green of Duixi, the blue of Lisi, the yellow of Kanbei, the east of Zhendong... I didn't see it.

He somewhat understood what kind of medicine Pei Zhan was selling in this gourd, so he asked a little more, "Where did you get this method of training soldiers?"

Pei Zhan bit the straw and grinned at Ren Le and said happily: "A veteran taught me outside the pass the year before last, saying that actual combat drills are far more useful than those who fight against each other. This person is not a fool when he goes to the battlefield, and he can stand up to you." You can't fight in front of you. This war is a plan that can't keep up with the changes. Adapting to the situation is much more useful than those martial arts. This group of people are used to it. After others, you have to work hard and toss a few more times to correct the unhealthy tendencies in them, so as not to be known to be the soldiers brought out by my hands, how embarrassing it is."

"That's a good idea." Qi Ran continued to stare at the hot situation in the mountains below with his hands behind his back, but he still didn't see Zhen Yi's person. He turned around and continued to ask, "How long have you been practicing in actual combat?"

"I've been here for a few days, and I haven't fought much. It's just small fights. I haven't seen any signs of it yet," Pei Zhan said in a tone of hatred. He bent down and pointed at the bottom of the mountain below. "At that time, it was agreed that in six days, whichever team pulls out the flag first or pulls off all the cloth belts from the hands of the other teams will be the winner. If it’s still alive, don’t eat.”

The high ground they are on is a raised slope, located in the center of the fourth team, and holding the flag is also under the eyes of the fourth team. It is indeed not easy to pull up this flag in front of other teams. A secret sentry has been installed nearby, and no one will budge. For some people who have not received military training, it is difficult to sneak attack at night.

Qi Ran looked at the person beside him with some amusement, "You really plan to train the Pei family army."

"Tsk," Pei Zhan looked shocked, "You can train me casually when you think of me as Pei Jiajun. Why am I just looking for something to do out of boredom? Besides, it's not what you said to let me see if there are any good seedlings."

"Did you see it?"

"My vision of seeing people is not as good as yours, so please come and have a look, take a look, and help me **** to see if there is anything I like."

When I came here, I knew that this person was begging myself, and the co-author was here to beg me to help him abuse soldiers.

Qi Ran said angrily, "Why don't you lead the troops yourself?"

"Aren't I worried that something will happen when I use too much force?"

What he said is also reasonable. When Pei Zhan was fighting, his appearance was different from that of ordinary people. The murderous aura all over his body was nourished bit by bit with blood on the battlefield. Yes, this man is a natural general, with a strong sense of mission and loyalty, from the young master of the Pei family to the little general Pei, he actually did not walk smoothly, and he survived several times when his life and death were uncertain , supporting the entire Pei family alone.

Qi Ran doesn't say it on the face, but he is actually convinced. He is arrogant and rarely convinces others. Pei Qixiu is the first one.

While the two were talking, the soldiers below hurried up to report, "Report to the commander, Duisan's entire army has been wiped out."

"Yo, interesting, which team did it?"

"Li Si," said the man who came, "there is a cave in front of us. Li Si and Duisan had a fight and deliberately retreated, luring the enemy to go deep. Although Luo was not fatal, it still messed up Duisan's formation, and Lisi took advantage of the chaos to attack and won the battle. Now they have swords and armor, and they are attacking Kaner's place."

"Who is leading Lisi?" Pei Zhan asked.

"Wei Chengyi." The man replied.

Pei Zhan squinted his eyes and thought about it. He remembered who this person was. He was indeed capable. Then he slapped the people around him with his shoulder and raised his eyebrows. "If it were you, what can you do?"

Qi Ran didn't speak, glanced at the map on the table, took a few steps, looked in the direction of Kan Er for a while, pointed to a certain place and asked: "Where is there a river?"

"Let me take a look." Pei Zhan came over with the map and stroked his chin in thought for a while, "It seems that there is a river."

"Kan'er's camp is on the other side of the river, and the fastest way to get there from Si must be through water. The surrounding mountains and mountains are relatively steep. If I remember correctly, the river near Lin'an should be a branch of the Lingyun River. The river must be no exception. The natural river has plenty of water. It must not be too shallow. It should be as deep as half a person. There is a waterfall under the river, so the river is flowing fast. It is definitely not wise to cross the river rashly. Walking with a rope, you just need to find a few good water players to ambush in the water, and then wait for them to walk halfway before making a move. At that time, Li Si must be in a mess. Naturally, he knows that he has been ambushed, and his first reaction is to retreat. Turn around, the door of life is exposed, Kan Er's weapon is a bow and arrow, not suitable for close combat, such a long-distance combat is perfect."

"You're pretty ruthless," Pei Zhan laughed out loud, "If they don't fall into the water, why not go to another road, such as here."

Qi Ran pointed and looked, it was a plain, although it was a bit detoured, but this road can go around to the back of the Kan'er Camp, there are no mountains, trees, or shelters around, it looks like a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack ,

"Li Si won't go here."

“How come you see?”

"The method they used just now was to use the terrain to win, took advantage of it, and ambushed the enemy. It is precisely because they have used it that they will not go here, because they know in their hearts that it is easy to get caught here, so they can only swim. "

Pei Zhan smiled, "If it were you, which way would you go?"

"I'm going to the plains."

"Me too."

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly. Compared with others, water battles are the most difficult to fight. It is not easy to attack and difficult to defend. They can only be mermaids.

After the soldiers who came up to report the military situation got the order, they hurried down the slope and told Kan Er's people about it, and the situation changed immediately.

The forest was very quiet, only the sound of birdsong and rustling footsteps sounded from time to time. A group of people braved their bodies and shuttled through the woods. The morning fog had not cleared away, and the route was not clear. No one in the team made a sound , just buried his head and walked forward, gradually, the surrounding woods became less and the scenery covered by the branches was exposed, the sound of rushing water rang in everyone's ears, and the person walking in the front raised his hand, A group of people behind them stopped in their tracks.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong?" A person next to him asked out loud.

Wei Chengyi frowned and looked around, "It's nothing, I just feel a little weird."

"Is there something wrong?" The man continued to ask, "Didn't you say that Zhang Long and the others would definitely think we went another way?"

"It's always good to be careful," Wei Chengyi said, staring at the reeds on the river, "The river is a bit turbulent, so let the brothers form a team of five and tie the rope around their waists so that they won't be caught by the river." The river washed away."

"Got it!"

It took a while for the order to go down, and then a group of people went down the river one after another in an orderly manner. The river water in July is not cold, but it still has a cool and comfortable feeling. The sweat and heat of the day disappeared immediately. It was a bit strenuous to walk in the river. No one made a sound and proceeded cautiously. When he was approaching the reeds, Wei Chengyi frowned. Bubble's face changed drastically, and he shouted sharply: "Stop, stop!"

Before everyone understood what happened, they felt a strange force coming from the water. They grabbed their ankles and pulled them hard. Their bodies were unstable and they threw themselves forward. Because of the rope tied around their waists, they threw themselves down. The people behind also jumped into the water, and the sound of shouting and noise suddenly became a mess.

People who hadn't reached the back of the reeds saw it, and they were even more confused. They turned their heads and planned to retreat to the shore. Before it was too late, a rain of arrows without arrows came through the sky, creating a black and terrifying scene. Many people were damaged, and their retreating steps were even faster, but they were blocked by the water.

The scene became a mess, arrows shot into the water and forest, disturbing the birds perched on the branches, flapping their wings and flying into the air, disrupting the tranquility.

Wei Chengyi kicked the sneak attacker in the water, looked back at the situation in front of him, and was a little panicked, and shouted again sharply: "Don't go back, his grandma, stop everything for me! Stop!"

The sound resounded through the sky, echoes came from the forest, and a group of people digging moss upstream were also shocked, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked up at their surroundings.

"Hey, what happened over there?" one of them asked.

"It feels like a fight has started. Is it a fight? The situation is very intense. His grandma has a leg. It's exciting."

"I don't want to dig this damn thing anymore. I'm so sissy, and a man has to fight it out." Another tall and fierce man became angry and shouted at the back of the side, "I said We have been digging moss for several days, and we have picked a lot of dead grass and leaves, which can bury us. What the hell are you going to do? You don’t lie in ambush or beat people. Why are you planting flowers here? Young master like you just go home and drink milk, this place is really not suitable for you."

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

The figure paused, then threw the wooden stick in his hand into the water, and turned around abruptly, it was the little father-in-law of the Yan family.

Yan Zhao walked over in a few steps. He was young and not as tall as anyone else, and he had to look up to meet people's eyes. This posture was a little tiring. He looked around and stood on a rock. He was able to look at people at the same level, but this action caused the crowd to burst into laughter. He was not angry, so he could only keep a straight face and raised his eyebrows, "Let's make a bet."

"What are you gambling?"

"If I can pull out that flag, you call me brother," he pointed at himself with his thumb, and then pointed at the man with his index finger, "if you can't pull it out, I call you father."

"Hey, kid," the man smiled contemptuously, "Sure, just bet, grandpa is not afraid of this kind of thing, I'm waiting to adopt a good son."

Yan Zhao narrowed his eyes.

At this time, the fog began to dissipate, and there was a little light on the sky, which was getting brighter and brighter. He smiled, raised his chin and grinned happily: "Brothers, it's time for us to take action."

Little Huya was a bit eye-catching, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The situation downstream was extremely tense, and the army's morale that had finally solidified became a mess. Wei Chengyi yelled to change the formation, and everyone just ran to the shore with their heads buried. Although Qi Ran and the others were far away, they could not see clearly He could guess one or two from the sound coming from the corner of his eye. He landed in the direction of Zhenyi's camp, but he didn't see anything. He only saw the woods trembling, as if some animal was moving through the forest. There was very little movement, and he frowned. , I don't know why I feel a little weird, but I don't know where the weirdness is.

"Gudong", there was a movement from the direction of the downstream waterfall, like the sound of something heavy falling into the river and splashing water. Because of the distance, it was not so loud when it came, but it still attracted everyone's attention. past.

That place is facing the east, the sky is pale, the glaring light breaks through the clouds, revealing little by little, the eyes stared at the gray sky for a long time, suddenly saw the bright light, very dazzling, staring at the eyes for a long time It was subconsciously sour and red, and everyone looked away one after another.

"It's now!" Yan Zhao, who was covered with green leaves, branches and dead grass, lay motionless in the undergrowth, his body pressed against the ground, only his head was slightly raised, but his eyes were fixed on the group of people on the slope. They looked away, grinned happily, and waved their hands, "Smoke!"

Hearing the sound, everyone quickly dispersed around, opened the bag in their arms, revealing the dead leaves and moss inside, took out a fire pocket from their arms, and lit it.

The smoke filled the air, and the blue smoke curled up. Because of the cloth inside, the smoke was white mixed with black, and it covered the slope tightly in a short while.

When the smoke just rose, Qi Ran moved the tip of his nose and smelled the smell of fireworks, and with a thought, some things that he had neglected suddenly became clear, those mosses were for this moment!

"Damn it!" Pei Zhan also understood, and his face was a little unhappy, "We have been put together! Guo Sheng, Guo Sheng, go, go, let them go and put out the smoke for me!"

He shouted loudly, already a little serious.

Qi Ran's face was not very good-looking. After all, he and Pei Zhan were familiar with military books and art of war when they were young. Knowing that, Xing jumped out of the coffin angrily.

When Guo Sheng led the people down, Qi Ran looked down with a cold face, the smoke was very thick, except for the white and black smoke, there were green shades of trees and bushes, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Suddenly, a flash of red flashed in the smoke, although it was fleeting, it was still seen.

"Axiu!" Without any hesitation, Qi Ran shouted sharply, "The position of Qian Fang!"

There was a kind of tacit understanding between the two, Pei Zhan looked towards that place without even doubting it, and after a closer look, there really was a person covered with withered grass and branches crawling forward on the ground, it was only a little bit worse The flag is within reach.

The voice was not low, Yan Zhao was always a young man who couldn't hold his breath, and when he knew he was discovered, he panicked and raised his head subconsciously, just in time to meet Pei Zhan's eyes.

"It's his uncle!" Pei Zhan laughed angrily after seeing the person coming, "This little bastard is quite capable!"

After finishing speaking, he tapped his right foot on the ground and took advantage of the momentum to use his hands to attack, and flew straight towards the person.

Seeing that this person was always coming towards him, Yan Zhao gritted his teeth and didn't care about anything else. He peeled off the dry grass and branches on his body, rolled on the ground and quickly grabbed the flag and pulled it out. The flag was inserted very deep, and he used up enough It took [-]% strength to get out, but he couldn't stabilize his body and fell back heavily, and there were bursts of pain in his tailbone.

When the flagpole was off the ground, Pei Zhan landed there firmly, and then raised his leg to sweep towards the person.

Young Master Yan's Jin Gui's body was his opponent, he rolled over to the side to avoid the leg, and then Li Yu stood up, holding a flag in his hand and pulling a handsome flower gun, he rushed up and stabbed straight at him. past.

Pei Zhan was very clear about the weight of this man, he easily dodged sideways, turned over in the air, and with a forceful lift of the toe of his shoe, the flag in Yan Zhao's hand was released. At this critical moment, he jumped up, fingers tightly Grabbing the flagpole and pulling it back hard, the back of my head was about to hit a rock.

Pei Zhan was also a little panicked, he just wanted to teach the little bastard a lesson, he didn't really want to kill him, he just wanted to pull him back with his skills, but he saw that the man changed the flag to the other hand, propped the tip of the flag on the stone with his backhand, All the energy in his body was put into this point, and then he used this force to turn over handsomely in the air, and landed on the stone impartially, with the banner in his hand holding a few flower guns, and stood heavily in front of him.

Pei Zhan stood aside with his arms folded, a little dumbfounded, "Use what I taught you to deal with me, you're capable."

"Commander Pei," Yan Zhao raised his chin, and the little tiger teeth looked a little sly, "I took out this flag. According to what you said, whoever pulls out the flag wins. I won this actual battle!"

The smoke was blown away by the wind, presenting a state of entanglement. The sun finally broke through the clouds, and the light shrouded the earth and hit the young man. Like the scorching sun, full of vigor.

Young people should carry the spring breeze and the scorching sun, like fire and water, walk fast but not in a hurry, be a son of a family who can afford the breeze and bright moon, and bear the awe-inspiring and righteous family and country feelings.

Life is a free and easy way when you are born, and it is not in vain for young people to sing long songs.

Qi Ran looked at the two people below, and then raised his eyes to look at Dongsheng's Chaoyang, remembering that he had an extra person when he was a teenager.

The scorching sun is hot, the sun rises and sets, and day and night change, and the passage of time is extremely fast.

Ji Si stared at the orange light in the sky in a daze, and a deep longing suddenly rose in his heart.

It has been six days since he left Lin'an, time goes by so slowly, yet so fast.

"Oh." Ji Si sighed.

Hearing the sound, Kong Lingqiu turned around and asked, "What's wrong with Ji Shilang? But are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Ji Si waved his hands weakly, "How long will it be?"

Kong Lingqiu took out the map and looked at it, and replied softly, "It's coming soon."

Ji Si didn't ask any more questions. He rolled his eyes while lying on the horse's back, and found something to say, "I heard that Kong Shilang didn't grow up in Lin'an, but grew up in Quding, the hometown of Xiao Kong's family. No wonder he is so talented. You are worthy of being a child of a century-old family."

"I dare not take it," Kong Lingqiu said politely, "What the Kong family has learned is nothing more than books. If it is really used in the court, it is enough to make people laugh. It is better that the Qi family is more famous and prestige, and there are many prime ministers in the past dynasties." It is from the Qi family, and each one is more famous than the other, and the Kong family is no match for this alone."

"You don't need to belittle yourself, Minister Kong," Ji Sipi smiled. "It's really like a tiger with wings for King Liang to have Minister Kong's help. It's strange, but I didn't know that Minister Kong was familiar with King Liang."

Kong Lingqiu didn't answer, but just smiled.

Seeing this, Ji Si also smiled.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Ji Si: On the first day of Qi Ran's absence, miss him, on the second day of Qi Ran's absence, miss him, on the third day of Qi Ran's absence, miss him...

Qi Ran: Happy o(≧v≦)o
