0686 Fuzhong Yangkou
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder and drums, and the pedestrians on the long street all looked back after hearing the sound, and their eyes were only flickering, and dozens of knights had already rushed to the front.
Even on this crowded street, these knights did not slow down at all, and everywhere they passed, pedestrians and dogs jumped to dodge, and occasionally those who could not dodge were either rammed by the horse's body, or fell on the street and trampled by the horse's hooves, wailing.
Or those who have strong strength will scold angrily on the side of the street with their own bravery, in exchange for nothing more than a powerful stray arrow or a bright blade that slashes head-on, even if they do not die on the spot, they will be chased and finally killed in the alley.
The bloody wind spread through the streets, and the riots continued long after the knights had disappeared from the streets. Some relatives died in this sudden riot, but they just covered their faces and wept and screamed, and they didn't even dare to come forward to collect the corpses.
Although the Chinese people have preferential treatment, there is only one person who dares to be so wanton in the national capital, and that is the Zhongshan Palace.
Sure enough, the group of knights had been wandering through the streets for a long time before they stopped in front of a mansion that was about to look like a castle.
This mansion is the Zhongshan Royal Mansion located in Xiangguo, and that group of knights is a group of warriors raised in the palace. When they dismounted, a large number of servants poured out of the side doors, leading the horses to the stables. If you slack off in the middle, you will be kicked and abused.
The king of Zhongshan is good at raising warriors, and the palace is especially brave and brave, among the thousands of warriors often raised in the palace, this team of knights may not be outstanding, but when it comes to tyrannical temperament, they are also afraid of falling behind.
As for those servants, but the most despicable officials in the palace, not to mention beating and scolding, even if they kill a few people by mistake, it is not a big deal, but can be used as a sign of bravery.
"This is the end of this safari. After you return home, you will have fun and recuperate for the next day. ”
After dismounting, a man who looked like a leader gave a high-five, and everyone either responded or ignored them and dispersed. And the leader was not angry, and hurried to the palace with a dozen cronies, as if to report the results of the safari.
In this team, there are both Hu and Han, but in general, the Hu people account for the majority. But among them, there are seven or eight Jin people gathered together, which seems to be a small circle, which is particularly eye-catching.
But these Jin people, each of them is also strong and brave, there is no lack of dangerous light between the eyebrows, few people dare to provoke on the way, and even everywhere they pass, Zhuhu has consciously avoided it, it can be seen that at least in terms of strength, these Jin people are making their companions feel jealous.
On the other side, there was a group of more than ten people in the miscellaneous Hu team, one of whom came out and waved to a person with a little Hu blood among the Jin people, and said with a smile when he got closer: "Qin Nu has gained a lot this time, which is really congratulatory." ”
"Wandering in the countryside is nothing to boast about. I'm still more happy to use it for the king's affairs, and fight in all directions. ”
The person who was called Qin Nu was Xin Bin, who had been admitted to Shihu's mansion a few months ago, and was known as Qin Su, Huang Quan's cheap son-in-law earlier. In the face of the other party's greetings, his demeanor did not change much, and there was no shortage of arrogant responses.
When the bearded leader heard this, he laughed dryly, and said: "Qin Nu's ambition is also to compare himself with Ma Qiu. But if you want to be valued by the king, it is not enough at the moment. It's better for you and me to gather together in the next day and gather to hunt, than to drive others now! ”
"That's okay, let's talk about it later."
After a moment's silence, Simbin nodded his head and said goodbye, and then led the crowd away. It's just that after turning around, his expression of disdain and disgust is undisguised.
This palace covers an area of dozens of hectares, not inferior to a small city, and the area where the warriors live is located on the southwest side of the palace. Xin Bin and the others soon returned to their residence, an independent small courtyard, and after entering the courtyard, several people took off their clothes, armor, bows and knives, and entered the room to rest.
After entering the room, Xin Bin relaxed a little, and heard the unbridled laughter and cheers of many Hu people outside the courtyard, his face became even more disgusted, and he reprimanded: "Beast disciples! ”
A few months ago, in the name of the envoy of Huang Quan, he came to ask to see Shi Hu, and it was smooth to enter this palace, but he has not seen Shi Hu so far, and he is just kept idle in this mansion.
There are a lot of samurai in this house, and it is not particularly surprising that Xin Bin and the others are among them. Although the royal palace provided them with shelter and food, the samurai also fought frequently with each other, and it was not forbidden to fight each other for their lives, just like a group of wild beasts, only the brave and brave could stay.
When they first came, because they were afraid in their hearts, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and Xin Bin and others also suffered a lot and were almost expelled from the city. But he soon discovered the way to survive here, as long as he didn't kill too many people, not too many people would come to intervene. Showing their strength properly will help them to lurk.
So then Simbin changed his strategy, and whenever there was a provocation, he would be severely attacked. He himself is a strong martial artist, and he led more than a dozen Longxi soldiers, all of whom are brave and capable of fighting, and are good at fighting and killing, and gradually stand out among the warriors and attract the attention of some people.
These samurai were half free-range, and there were groups of their own who gathered together to roam and sweep the suburbs from time to time in the name of hunting, which was actually plundering. People are rich and rich, and all those who can plunder are not exempt, because with the backing of the Zhongshan Palace, even the forbidden army does not dare to pursue them exhaustively.
In addition to the spoils of war distributed by the team, half of them must be handed over to Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, if Kou plunders too much, he can be appreciated and promoted, and even Shi Hu personally receives and uses it.
After understanding this, Simbin suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. He was not a good person in the first place, but after Nandu, he started from scratch, and similar things may not have been touched.
But Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, is one of the few high-ranking people in the Zhao Kingdom, and he can be said to be the first person under the Zhao lord. The power and wealth are so rich, and it is really unbelievable that they still have to raise a group of robbers and rob places.
However, the wonderful thing is that no one feels that this matter is inappropriate, maybe Hu is bad, or Lord Zhao himself is caused by this. Later, Xin Bin gradually understood that not only Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, but also most of the other powerful people in the middle of the mountain also raised such a group of subordinates to plunder for profit.
Although these slaves and thieves are already nobles, they have never realized that they are the lords of the Central Plains, and they do not abide by any laws and rules, but they are just brutal and plundering as much as they can, a group of jackals with crowns, and bandits who steal the throne!
Xin Bin thought that he would have the opportunity to contact Shi Hu when he entered the Zhongshan Palace, but he still seemed to overestimate Huang Quan's status in Shi Hu's mind, and perhaps he didn't know about his arrival at all. In the face of such a situation, some earlier plans and preparations were largely useless.
Although Shi Hu raised these warrior bandits, he was not intimate, their place of residence was only the outermost part of the palace, and once he approached rashly, the built-in elite soldiers would directly kill them on the spot. So although the location is not far away, there is a gap that cannot be crossed.
In order to achieve his goal, Xin Bin can only use the survival methods of these warriors, after all, he is in this realm, and if he does not participate in the safari and plundering activities, he will not even be able to enter and leave the palace.
These samurai bandits, although there are quite a few brave warriors. But Xin Bin and the others are not mediocre, especially the Longxi soldiers around them, they are elite people trained by Jiangdong Haoshou with all his human and financial resources, and their ability to fight and assassinate is far better than those who only rely on bravery, and their performance in this small-scale safari is outstanding.
More than a dozen of them dared to directly attack the Zahu Manor tribe of hundreds or even nearly a thousand people, and they were able to succeed frequently, and they gradually became famous among these warriors, so they were recruited by more people, and had more opportunities to enter and exit and channels for news.
This kind of wanton and tyrannical life has its own magic that makes people involuntarily indulge in it and can't extricate themselves. And the current situation is actually in line with what he expected earlier. As it progresses, it is not impossible to become the leader of these bandits.
But Xin Bin is not an ordinary brave and arrogant person, if he was obsessed with goods, he would not have given up hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in the capital earlier. And what I have seen and heard in this place, it is also extremely shameful for this Zhao court, although it has a temporary momentum, but it will also be crazy to perish!
What's more, his family is in Jiangdong, and the Longxi pawns around him are even more loyal to the Shen family's horses, and he has neither the mind nor the possibility to stand on his own.
Therefore, Xin Bin also did not forget his original intention, in addition to settling down in Zhongshan Wangfu, he has also been trying to inquire about Qian Feng's news, hoping to get in touch with each other in order to find out what to do next.
Qian Feng still has no news, but the Yan Mu Yan Shijun who went north with him has become more famous, and his deeds have been heard repeatedly. But Simbin did not have the right opportunity, but he also remained cautious and did not dare to make rash contacts.
"With Mr. Qian's ability, it is only a trivial matter to gain a foothold in this realm, so there is no need to worry. On the contrary, I, do I really want to live here all the time? ”
At the moment, there is no short-term worry, but Xin Bin also came with a mission, and even fantasized that once he had the opportunity to get close to Shi Hu, he would sacrifice his life to assassinate him and become famous with one blow! For people like him, he is not afraid of dying violently in the prime of life, but he is afraid that he will still be silent and nameless until death!
However, now he is only a little famous among a group of bandits, and the future that he can see is gradually accumulating, or he may be favored by Shi Hu.
It was not without successful examples before him, such as Ma Qiu, who was very famous among the bandits, was appreciated by Shi Hu along this way, and now he has been cited as a confidant and goes in and out. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Hu himself was idle right now, Ma Qiu, who stood out from the group of thieves, would have been in command of the army long ago.
Xin Bin was still sitting indoors thinking, and suddenly heard a shouting voice in his ears: "Is it Qinsu from Hefei who lives here?" The king summons me, and quickly follow me to worship! ”
After hearing this, Xin Bin didn't react for a while, and suddenly looked up and turned his head to see that Long Xishu next to him was also surprised, only to realize that it was not an illusion, and he got up in a hurry, grabbed a sharp blade and covered it in his sleeve.
"Ah Lang is cautious, ......"
Seeing this, Long Xi's pawn on the side called a low reminder, and then Xin Bin also woke up and understood that it was impossible for him to approach Shi Hu with a sharp blade. He only forgot his long-cherished wish occasionally, and after being reminded, he threw away the dagger again and hurried out.
