Chapter 78

Gu fan lived in the garrison house of Dali for another day, but Huan Lingyue still didn't show up again, as if he was really annoyed by Gu fan. Gu fan didn't want to get in touch with him. Instead, he packed up with Li Xiaolang and rode to the Zhuque military camp in Midu town outside Dali.

Gu fan and Li Xiaolang almost rode for a day. Finally, Li Xiaolang slowed down and pointed to the front“ Little Marquis, it's almost there. Look there

Less than five miles ahead, the black area is like a giant beast crawling in the vast land. There, the barracks of Zhuque Department of Shuntian army are surrounded by ditches and antler barracks. They defend themselves in wartime and in peacetime in Midu. In order to reduce the financial burden of the garrison, one of the measures promoted by the Big Dipper star emperor is to open up wasteland.

Midu town is located on the shore of Erhai Lake. It is rich in aquatic products. At this time, it is full of rice just planted in the farmland, which brings the green and astringent aroma of rice in the wind.

Li Xiaolang has not been here, but this time his mood is different from before. In the past, he just followed Guan Haotian to make an inspection tour and came here with the mood of playing. He was a spectator. However, joining the camp today is tantamount to officially becoming a member of the Zhuque Department of Shuntian army with Gu fan. Although he may not really be staying in the Zhuque department for many years, he is also a participant.

"Young Marquis, what kind of official position will you be given by Lord Hui?" Li Xiaolang held his chin and looked at the camp in front of him. He asked with a smile: "I will not let you be the deputy commander as soon as I pass, will I?"

"The deputy commander may not be. After all, he is equal to a general's salary. But with my strength, there is always a cloud riding captain." Gu fan murmured.

Although the five troops of the Shuntian army are nominally controlled by the northern Marquis Guan Haotian, in fact, due to the selection of soldiers from the local area and the constant promotion of soldiers to the posts of commander or even above through military achievements, it is easy for them to form their own forces, and each leader takes over the power of the army, making these armies increasingly become vassal forces, This is also the embarrassing reality that the local town Garrison has to face.

When you go to Yuanmen, you can see a few big flagpoles standing outside Yuanmen. The banners are flying, and the words "the king of Beidou obeys the heavenly army" are written, just like dragons and snakes, which is very powerful. Another flag flying here is a phoenix reborn from fire. A rosefinch is painted with gold thread on the red flag, which is hunting in the wind. Obviously, this is the flag of the rosefinch department.

This huge camp covers an area of tens of miles. The 100000 soldiers of the rosefinch department, half of whom are garrisoned and half of whom are trained, rotate once a quarter. Therefore, these 100000 soldiers are stationed here on weekdays, eating, sleeping and practicing here.

The camp is like a beehive. You can't see the end at a glance. In the distant arena, the soldiers of the rosefinch department are practicing. The way to distinguish these soldiers from the soldiers of other departments is the red helmets on their heads. From a distance, they look like countless burning flames. The whole barracks was solemn and orderly, and the soldiers were even more energetic and strong. At a glance, we knew that Ming Hui, the commander of Zhuque department, was a good general.

When the armored soldier outside the door saw them, he knew Li Xiaolang. He immediately came up to salute and said, "brother wolf, what brings you here? The commander and the deputy commander are discussing business in the big account. They are not allowed to disturb. Please wait outside the big account first, and he will see you later!"

"Ha ha!" Li Xiaolang dismounted, gave the reins to the Jiashi, and said: "this time I'm not the leading role... The little Marquis here is..."

"The prince of Yingbei Marquis?" The Jiashi could not help but be stunned. According to reason, even if Guan Haotian had children, he couldn't be so big... But obviously, the young man beside Li Xiaolang was a big man. He judged people by their appearance, so he was enthusiastic about Li Xiaolang and ignored him. I can't say that this noble man felt a little unhappy. The Jia Shi's face showed an embarrassed expression. He was also a rude man. At this time, he didn't know what to say. But Li Xiaolang shook his head and said, "it's not Yingbei Marquis, it's the second son of Pingyuan Marquis's house..."

"Plain Marquis's mansion!" The Jia Shi exclaimed with surprise. He was about to talk to Gu fan, but Gu fan gave a smile and said to the Jia Shi, "please lead the way ahead..."

"OK, ok..." the Jiashi turned around, holding a long spear to lead the way for the two groups, and all the way to a side account outside the tent. Then he pulled Li Xiaolang with his elbow and walked out of the tent with him.

Before Li Xiaolang could speak, the Jiashi could not wait to hold him and asked, "is this the second son of the ancient family, who is 16 years old and has set foot on the top of heaven? How can Beihou get him here? "

Li Xiaolang nodded with a smile and said to him, "it's the little marquis. As for why he came to the rosefinch department, marquis naturally has his consideration. Can we guess?"

The Jiashi looked at Gu fan, who was sitting in the tent. He sighed and said, "now there are prince's sons who don't go out in a carriage and ride horses... I saw him riding with you. I thought he was the same bodyguard as you. He didn't wait to see me when he saw that he was a stranger again..." he sighed, as if he was complaining about his blindness, "I didn't expect that he was the prince of Pingyuan Marquis... Fortunately, he didn't have any temper and looked approachable... Where was he like that..."

The Jia Shi was about to hold Li Xiaolang and complain to him, but he saw Li Xiaolang stand up his right hand and make a silent gesture in front of him, saying: "the wall has ears, don't say it again..." the Jia Shi nodded silently, but he was a rude man after all. He was upright and didn't speak up. He said: "what's the position of the little marquis in the rosefinch department? Deputy commander? Get rid of the powerful huyanyun as soon as possible! " Li Xiaolang glanced at the Jiashi and stopped talking to him. As if he was hiding from the God of plague, he turned and left, and got into the camp where Gu fan was. After Li Xiaolang went out, Gu fan came out and looked at the camp of the rosefinch Department curiously. The commander's tent is in the southeast of the camp. It's a huge wooden barracks with a flag on the roof and the word "governor" written on it. This flag is also the highest flag in the whole camp, which can be seen from a long distance. Around the tent, every five or six steps away, there is a strong iron armor guard. He presses the sword in his hand, wears phosphorous fish fillets armor, layers on top of each other, and pulls a red turban across his head, which is a sign to distinguish the rosefinch department from other departments.
