Early in the morning of the third day, Shang Ji gathered his troops and prepared to leave for Heishuisai.

With more than 1,000 soldiers, nearly 2,000 prisoners, and a large amount of heavy grain and grass, Shangji's team can also be called mighty.

At the gate of Wangquan County, Liu Yi and others came to see them off.

In addition to Liu Yi today, there is also a young man in brocade who he saw when he met the robbers of Heifeng Village on the road that day. Shang Ji has a good memory, he remembers that this young man seems to be Liu Yi's younger brother, and he doesn't know how he came here today.

"Brother Xian, this is my younger brother, you have seen it before, Xiaohu is not young, it is time to come out and experience the experience. Xiaohu heard that Brother Xian was going to Heishui Sai to serve as a town guard, so he had to go with Brother Xian. With that, he pulled the little tiger out.

"Engong, you and my second brother are sworn brothers, do I have to call you third brother? Ask the third brother to take me to Heishui Plug together, I also want to protect my family and defend the country! Xiaohu looked at Shang Ji and said seriously.

"This ......" Shang Ji glanced at Xiaohu with some embarrassment, and said to Liu Yi: "Big brother, you know where the conditions of the foolish brother are bad, and there is a threat from foreign races, if Xiaohu has a case, I really can't explain it to the eldest brother!" ”

"Brother Xian, rest assured, although Xiaohu is stubborn, but the strength is still there, Xiaohu now has the strength of a senior general, and self-protection is still more than rubbing, but Brother Xian is relieved." Liu Yi said happily.

Shang Ji glanced at Xiaohu in surprise and was amazed.

In the previous battle with Heifeng Village, Shang Ji felt that Xiaohu's strength was not low, but he didn't expect that he already had the strength of a senior military general at a young age.

In other words, once Xiaohu really joined the Black Armor Army, he immediately became the second master in the army!

The historical generals are really strong, and there is no one to mess with the historical generals, Xiaohu has such a strong strength for a son and a half, give him some time, and he may not be able to become a pillar of talent in time.

"Okay, since the eldest brother said so, Xiaohu will temporarily experience training in the Black Armor Army for a while, when Xiaohu wants to come back, he can come back at any time, Heishui Sai is more than 200 miles away from Wangquan County, and Pegasus can't use it for half a day to arrive!"

Liu Yi nodded, then took out a brocade box from his arms and said, "Brother Xian has nothing to give to my brother here, so let's keep this thing for Brother Xian for self-defense." ”

Shang Ji took the brocade box, opened it, and found that it was two Huitian Pills!

"Ahh It's too precious! Foolish brother can't accept it! Shang Ji excused himself.

After Hui Tiandan was seriously injured by Liu Yi's misunderstanding at that time, Liu Yi once took out one and gave it to Shang Ji, because the effect was too powerful and worthy of his destiny to return to heaven, Shang Ji was not willing to use it on the spot, but still resisted it with the [Dragon and Tiger Roar]. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi sent two more today.

"Brother Xian accept it, Brother Xian went to Heishui Plug this time, the future is uncertain, and there is a hole card with this thing. Maybe the virtuous brother doesn't know that these pills are all refined by my sister! My sister is a master-level doctor, as long as there are materials, how much will be needed to return to Tiandan. Liu Yi said with a little pride.

"Yes, yes, my sister is amazing!" The little tiger next to him also nodded again and again.

In this way, the foolish brother accepted it with shame! Please also ask the eldest brother to thank my sister for me! Shang Ji couldn't refuse, so he had to take the brocade box and solemnly put it away.

As long as there are materials, how many merchants will need to return to Tiandan, after all, there is no need to doubt the strength of a master doctor. But only if there are materials!

As far as refining the Hui Tiandan, a large number of precious medicinal materials are not something that can be obtained casually. It is estimated that the entire inventory of Hui Tiandan in Liu Yi's hand will not exceed five, and now there are three of them here in Shang Ji. This brother is really speechless to Shang Ji!

Shang Ji also kept this in mind! He is not a cold-blooded and affectionate person, and the grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs is Shang Ji's style of acting!

"It's not too early, I'll say goodbye to my brother, let's come to Japan for a long time!" Shang Ji hugged his fists, said goodbye to Liu Yi, and then stepped on the war horse and wanted to set off.

At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard.

Shang Ji looked back and saw that it was his other sworn brother, Deng Yan.

At this time, Deng Yan rode the war horse given by Shang Ji before, carrying a burden on his back, and looked like a dusty man all the way.

"Third brother, I can't come for you anymore? How? Adults are in good health! Shang Ji stood on his horse and asked.

Shang Ji heard that Deng Yan asked for leave to go back, and it was said that it was because his old mother was not in good health. Shang Ji thought that he would not see this third brother before he traveled far away, but he didn't expect to catch up in the end.

"Hehe, don't worry, the two brothers, Jiaci has been in good health recently, and the elder brother doesn't have to worry about it." Deng Yan stationed on the horse road.

"Third brother, why did you rush back to see off the second brother?" Liu Yi also stepped forward and said.

"Why do you want to see you off? We are not separated! ”

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Liu Yi said in surprise.

"The two brothers don't know, I've resigned now! The second brother is going to Heishuisai, presumably he still needs a knife and pen officer to help deal with some mundane things, and I hope that the second brother will not dislike me for being a shallow learner! Deng Yanle said.

Shang Ji and Liu Yi were shocked when they heard this, only to see Shang Ji say: "How can the third brother be so impulsive!" No matter how the county planner says that he is a high-ranking official official, how can he just resign? Why don't you consult with us? ”

Deng Yan said nonchalantly: "Just a little official, why worry about it!" Besides, I don't bother to work under Tian Teng's old man, so it's more in line with my heart to follow my second brother to Heishuisai. ”

Liu Yi pondered for a moment and said to Shang Ji: "That's fine, Tian Teng can't do anything about you and me, the third brother is doing things under Tian Teng, and he is restrained everywhere, so it's okay if this official resigns." With the second brother, the future must be even greater! ”

"It's okay, since the third brother doesn't dislike being a brother and has a low status here, then ask the third brother Qu Cai to serve as the chief bookkeeper of the black water plug! Help my brother manage the black water plug well! Shang Ji also spoke.

Deng Yan is a second-rate scribe with political attributes as high as more than 80 points, and it is indeed overkill to manage a black water plug with less than 5,000 people, but the matter has come to this point, of course Shang Ji will not push Deng Yan out again, such a rare talent, seize the opportunity!

"That's just right!" Deng Yan laughed, rode a horse behind Shang Ji, and then said to Liu Yi: "My mother once said that a good man has ambitions in all directions!" If you want me to take a walk, I always thought that my parents were not far away. I have never really left home, but now that I am fortunate to meet two big brothers, I can have the opportunity to go out and have a look. Now I can't come back often, and my mother has to ask my eldest brother to help take care of one or two, and I am grateful! ”

"The third brother is serious! Your mother is my mother, you and I are like brothers, I should take care of the boss, and please rest assured! Liu Yi solemnly promised.

"Hahaha, with the eldest brother's words, I will be relieved by the younger brother. So, I went with my second brother! ”

"Two virtuous brothers, don't worry, if there is anything to report, I will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire!"

Shang Ji glanced at Liu Yi, solemnly clenched his fists, and then turned around and flew away, followed by Deng Yan.

Seeing this, Xiaohu also said goodbye to Liu Yi, and rode his horse to chase Shang Ji.

Heishuisai is not far from Wangquan County, more than 200 miles in a straight line. If you use the speed of the Black Armor Xuanqi, you can gallop at full speed in an hour.

However, this march carried a large number of ordinary infantry and baggage, as well as a large number of prisoners to be guarded, so the parallel march was not very fast.

It took four hours to arrive, and by the time we arrived, it was already getting dark.

Because Su Huan was sent to lead people to notify in advance, the defenders of Heishui Sai also knew the news that Shang Ji was coming, so they had been waiting at the city gate.

The city wall of Heishui is even higher than that of Wangquan County, but the city wall is damaged in many places, and the ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere, and it looks dilapidated.

In addition, the scale of the city of Heishui is much smaller than that of Wangquan County, and the length and width of the city are less than three miles, but it is built according to the mountain, and it is indeed a dangerous place. The city wall was repaired, more food and grass were prepared, and there were 2,000 soldiers to guard it, which was enough to make tens of thousands of troops helpless.

"The last general, Heishui Saidai, the guard general Gao Xiang, has seen the general!" The military general, who called himself Gao Xiang, said respectfully.

"Your name is Gao Xiang? Is it the substitute guard of the Black Water Plug? Shang Ji asked.

"General Hui, it's the last general!" Gao Xiang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Shang Ji glanced around at the soldiers brought by Gao Xiang, the armor was tattered, and the knives and guns were not sharp, but at least the spirit was good. Think of this Gao Xiang is also a person who can lead soldiers?

"I heard that you offended the Tian County Order and were sent here?" Shang Ji asked with interest.

"Nonsense, in the end, this is to protect the family and defend the people and serve the country, Tian County Decree is not an official army, and the humble position is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant, how can Tian County Decree be distributed? Please also ask the general not to listen to rumors. Gao Xiang said stiffly.

"Oh? So you really offended Tian County Order? Did the county lieutenant send you here? Shang Ji asked.

"Please don't listen to rumors, general." Gao Xiang said with a dark face.

Shang Ji smiled without saying a word, and stepped forward into the black water plug.

This Gao Xiang Shangji has heard of it, and it is said that he offended Tian Teng before, and then he was sent here by the original county lieutenant, and he stayed in Heishuisai for three years.

During this period, Wangquan County deliberately forgot about it, and the grain, grass and military funds that should have been allocated were deducted.

Without any support, Gao Xiang was stunned and led his subordinates to hold on to Heishui Plug for three years!

That is, a few months ago, the former county lieutenant was killed by thieves in Heifeng Village, and Liu Yi took over as the county lieutenant.

Before coming, Liu Yi explained to Shang Ji to see how this Gao Xiang was and whether he could be accepted for his own use.

After some temptation just now, Shang Ji felt that it was still very likely that he would take this person under his command.

"Gao Junhou, and lead the way, I will explain the black water plug!" There is no rush to accept talents, and the top priority at present is to familiarize yourself with the black water plug and see what the specific situation of the black water plug is.

"The Last General's Order!" Gao Xiang responded, and walked ahead first, leading the way for Shang Ji.

Su Huan took people to camp and set up camp, and Shang Ji took Deng Yan and Xiaohu to visit the black water plug.
