Chapter 1: The Ghost Army

In mid-August, Lin Feng and his entourage finally arrived in Hanzhong Mansion after half a month of day and night. As soon as the group rushed into the realm of Hanzhong Mansion, Lin Feng, who was at the forefront, hurriedly grabbed the reins.

After riding on the horse and making a few turns in place, he raised his legs and jumped lightly to the ground, stretched comfortably, and squinted towards the rising sun.

"Big brother! Why don't you go? News has already been transmitted back from the city, and the officials of Hanzhong Mansion are lined up to greet them today! We're going to be back at the latest (9 to 11 a.m.)! Mao Hao also reined in his horse and asked while spinning in place.

"No hurry, no hurry! It's still early! Lin Feng stretched out his hand to signal that it was okay, then turned his head to look at him and laughed and said, "Haha, I'm finally back to Hanzhong Mansion again!" ”

Seeing this, Mao Hao smiled and turned over and dismounted, walked to Lin Feng's side, raised his head and squinted at the sun.

After a while, Lin Feng asked lightly, "Xiao Hao, how is Xiaoyun?" Any news? ”

"Very good! News from Wan Qixing and Kaede Kill's brothers! Mao Hao nodded heavily, then slapped Lin Feng on the shoulder, and gave Lin Feng a direct stumble, and then he smiled apologetically at Lin Feng and said, "Big brother, don't worry!" That's our sister-in-law! This Hanzhong Mansion is our home! ”

Lin Feng didn't care about the slap just now, staring at Mao Hao motionlessly, after a long time, Lin Feng smiled indifferently and said, "With your group of brothers in this life, what else can I ask for?" Saying that, Lin Feng stretched out his arms facing the sun, took a few deep breaths of air, and said with a smile: "The breath of this Hanzhong Mansion is different from the air in the south of the Yangtze River!" Ha ha.. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and following the sound, the dust was flying, and in the blur, only a team of dozens of people could be seen advancing here.

Lin Feng was about to speak, but Mao Hao instantly pulled out his sword and stood in front of Lin Feng, and at the same time roared loudly: "Alert!! ”

As soon as Mao Hao's words fell, some of the surrounding soldiers and the Feng Kill people who followed moved up. Those who did not dismount to rest had already quickly lined up in formation in front of Lin Feng, and those who dismounted to rest also turned over and got on their horses, holding their respective weapons and began to line up.

Seeing this, Mao Hao turned around and walked to his white dragon horse, took down an iron-tired bow, and then walked to the front of the team, and shot an arrow at the sky with a neat bow, and then there was a "whoosh" sound.

After a while, I saw that the carved arrow shot by Mao Hao was firmly nailed to a visual distance of about two hundred meters. Lin Feng looked at the carved arrow in the distance in surprise, swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, turned his head to look at Mao Hao and said in surprise: "I said Xiaohao, it is only one hundred and sixty or seventy meters for people to pass through Yang in a hundred steps, I see that the arrow you just shot out of more than two hundred meters!" ”

Mao Hao turned his head to look at Lin Feng, reached out and patted Lin Feng's shoulder, patted his chest again, and raised his head and said something that made Lin Feng almost vomit blood: "Big brother, you are too thin!" As for my stature, I didn't use all my strength with that arrow just now! ”

"Brother Feng, the person on the other side has stopped! Looks like there were about thirty or forty people! A brother in front of him who was killed by Feng turned his head to report, and then another person turned his head and said: "Brother Feng, there is a person sent from the other side, it seems to be a member of the ghost army!" Dark red costume with the badge of the Feng Family's army! ”

The Ghost Legion was the only legion that was not incorporated into the regular army at the beginning, that is to say, it was completely an army that Lin Feng used his own financial resources to support. Although it nominally belongs to the Fengjia Army of Shannan Province, it is not within the regular establishment, so the food and salary issued by the imperial court do not include the ghost army.

Of course, these are actually useless, because the troops under the command of the Jiedu envoys are all raised by themselves, although it is said that the imperial court pays the salary, but the real meaning is that they have raised themselves, and part of the remaining food and salary is paid to the imperial court. To put it bluntly, the number of troops raised is actually only reported by the Jiedu envoy, and the imperial court does not have a really specific and correct number.

A moment later, the man on the other side had already mounted in front of them, indeed wearing a dark red military uniform, and on his right arm was also the maple leaf badge of the Feng Family's army.

After the man stood firmly, he turned over and dismounted, and shouted towards Lin Feng and them, "Is Hou Ye's team on the other side?" ”

"It's the team of the Marquis of Chungwu! Who are you? Mao Hao squeezed to the front and asked loudly at the man.

The man didn't know if he knew Mao Hao, or if he saw the ruby red five-pointed maple medal on Mao Hao's right shoulder, so he quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "The commander of the ghost legion of the Fengjia Army in Shannan Province led his troops to greet the Marquis of Zhongwu!" I'll go back and report it! ”

After the man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mao Hao to reply, got back on the horse, patted the horse's buttocks, and galloped out.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was also relieved, and after saying hello to Mao Hao, he also turned on his horse and continued to move forward to meet with Ghost Sorrow.

After a short time, he arrived in front of the Ghost Sorrow and the others, the other party was about forty people, and the Ghost Saw Sorrow stood at the front of the team, and after seeing Lin Feng and them clearly, he waved his hand lightly to the people behind him, took the lead and knelt down, and shouted at the same time: "Tian Teng (Ghost Sorrow), the head of the Ghost Legion of the Feng Family Army of Shannan Province, specially led his troops to welcome Hou Ye!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to him and helped him up, patted the dust on his body with a gesture, and then smiled: "Tian Xiaogui!" I heard that the combat power of the Ghost Legion has increased by leaps and bounds under your leadership and training! Then Lin Feng looked around at the people behind him, all of them were full of energy and unlimited energy, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Not bad, not bad!" Everybody's doing well! ”

"Master Xie praises!" Unexpectedly, everyone replied in unison, and Lin Feng, who was close at home, was startled by this sudden sound. When Lin Feng saw the smile on Tian Xiaogui's face, he realized that this matter must be inseparable from him.

Seeing that Lin Feng was staring at him without moving, Tian Xiaogui seemed to realize something, and hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic: "Brother Feng, I received the news that you came back, so I specially led these brothers to greet you, after all, we are still not suitable to appear blatantly in the city... ”

When he said this, Tian Xiaogui's tone was obviously a little low, and he seemed to be a little worried, Lin Feng turned his eyes and looked around, and found that the people behind him seemed to be behaving in the same way, and immediately understood the reason.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand and patted Tian Xiaogui's shoulder, then hugged his fists towards everyone, and said in a solemn tone: "Soldiers, brothers!" I know what you're thinking, it's my fault with the matter of formalization! But I promise you that in the future, I will let you be a soldier in style! Regardless of your current status, you must remember that you have an identity that no one else has, and you are part of the most important legion in Shannan Province - the Ghost Legion! ”

Lin Feng watched everyone's expressions begin to change slowly, and continued: "The reason why the name Ghost Legion was given is that it represents the mystery of this legion. Although not many people know about your existence now, first of all, you must know that you are not only an army, but also a strange army! This will make those who do not know of your existence feel threatened! You will be indispensable in the battles to come! Perhaps, in every battle we have in the future, you will be the most fatal blow to the enemy! ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng reached out and patted Tian Xiaogui's shoulder and said, "Brother, can you understand?" ”

"Well, I can!" Tian Xiaogui raised his head, looked at Lin Feng with his eyes, and said solemnly.

"That's good! Communicate more with your brothers! Lin Feng let out a sigh and continued, "Whew! Let's do this today, I thank you for leading my brothers to meet me today, time is urgent, I have to rush back to the city, and then I will go to the front line in Fengzhou! ”

"Well, I get it! Brother Feng, be careful! We have not been able to share your worries with you ... ”

"Don't be so pretentious!" Lin Feng waved his hand and interrupted Tian Xiaogui's words: "We have more opportunities to fight side by side in the future!" You take your brothers back to rest first! I guess I didn't have a good rest last night and came out! ”

Tian Xiaogui nodded, and was about to take someone away, when Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, so he stopped him and whispered: "By the way, if you have time, you can take someone to Hanzhong Mansion for a trip, find Zhao Liang to mention one million, and bring it back to the brothers to share!" ”

"Brother Feng! This.. Tian Xiaogui said with some excitement.

"Stop talking nonsense, just let you go, you go!" Lin Feng waved his hand at him, and then said, "Okay, there's nothing else, let's go back first!" ”

Tian Xiaogui glanced at Lin Feng gratefully, and then nodded heavily and said, "Brother Feng, let's go first, take care!" ”

Lin Feng stood in place and waved his hand at them with a smile, and watched them walk far away before Lin Feng came back to his senses, waved his hand at Mao Hao and ordered: "Xiao Hao, go!" ”
