Big Moon Ballad

"The soul lamp has not been extinguished."

Baili Celing squatted beside Du Ziqing, his eyes dim, "I went to see, Xiao Liu and the others are still alive, and none of them are missing."

When the Black Tiger Army planted hidden stakes in Xirong, it was divided according to the territories of King Zhai, and each of King Zhai's territories and key cities had people deployed.

Xirong has a vast territory, and once everyone disperses, it is easy to be unknown, so all the hidden stakes of the Black Tiger Army will light another soul lamp in Xirong after they arrive in Xirong, and place the soul lamp in a secret place uniformly.

Only Heihu Shuangbi knew where the Soul Lamp was placed, and Baili Celing would visit it every once in a while.

Once a soul lamp goes out, it means that they have lost a companion.

Baili Celing closed his eyes, and the scene he saw when he went to the Soul Lamp Dungeon appeared in front of his eyes.

The soul lamps of all the hidden stakes are not all placed together. On a long table in the front of the secret room, there are twelve lamps placed side by side at the front, and the other soul lamps are placed behind these twelve lamps.

The identities of these twelve people are special.

There are also grades in the black tiger army's hidden stakes. According to the ranks in the army at the beginning, there are a total of twelve leaders in all the black tiger army's hidden stakes in Xirong, which coincides with the number of twelve Zhai kings.

These leaders are all code-named by numbers, and they are ranked in the order in which they joined Da Si Ming.

Baili Celing looked at Du Ziqing beside him. He was number two, and Du Ziqing was number one.

In addition to them, there are ten leaders in the dark pile of the black tiger.

The twelve soul lamps placed in the secret room were always burning.

In the past seven years, although the staff of the hidden pile has been reduced, the ten leaders are all safe and sound.

Ding San, who was the first to launch an uprising back then, was the third person with the highest qualifications in the Black Tiger Dark Stake.

This ranking is only based on the order of becoming a hidden pile, and does not represent the level of status.All the dark pile leaders named after numbers, according to the original agreement, need to obey the orders of An Shuangbi.

Baili Celing took a deep breath, feeling complicated.

After Ding San occupied Suiye City and Du Ziqing was taken away, he, in the identity of An Shuangbi, issued an order to the Heihu Anzhuan all over Xirong.

Ding San took his token from Ying Baoyue and sent secret signals to various cities along the way.

Of the remaining ten hidden pile leaders, nine responded to the assembly order.One after another, they led the slaves to rise up on the land they had been running for a long time, and according to the oath and plan they made on the day of Da Si Ming's death, they brought their teams to the White Wolf King's Court.

However, one leader did not respond.

Baili Celing looked at the place where the sandstorm hit in the distance, and clenched his teeth.

To be honest, after such a long time and so many trials, he never thought that all the leaders scattered all over the place would respond, and it is normal for one or two people to be missing.

Yet the one who didn't respond was the one most essential to their actions.

Because it is the one who leads all the hidden stakes lurking in the White Wolf King's Court.

It was Lin Shubai who decided the whereabouts of each hidden stake at the beginning. The White Wolf King's Court is the most important and dangerous place in Xirong, so the hidden stakes to be placed are naturally the most important. Baili Celing has fought for this position.

"Ziqing, it is true that when the National Teacher selected Xiaoliuzi, did he misunderstand the person?

Baili Celing clenched his teeth, and the veins stretched out on his forehead.

He and Du Ziqing are two black tigers, once they are caught, the consequences will be too serious.

Although Baili Celing really wanted to ambush in the White Wolf King's Court, he knew from the very beginning that Lin Shubai would not send the two of them there.

It's just that he originally thought that the Master of the National Teacher would choose the more mature and prudent Ding San, or choose another person of high morals, but he didn't expect Lin Shubai to choose the youngest among them in the end.

The dark leader of the Black Tiger Army placed in the White Wolf King's Court was called Xie Liu. He was only 19 years old when he arrived in Xirong, not as weak as the crown. He was the youngest among them, so he was also called Xiaoliuzi by them.

As the place where the nobles gathered most on the Xirong Grassland, the White Wolf King's Court also used the most slaves, so there were a lot of hidden stakes placed in the White Wolf King's Court, and many of them were old enough to be Xie Liu's father.

So when Lin Shubai made this decision, many generals in the Black Tiger Army were questioned.

Some people even suspected that Xie Liu was able to become the leader of the hidden pile because of his "noble background".

Du Ziqing glanced at Baili Celing, who was looking at him with painful eyes, and sighed faintly, "Why, do you also believe those gossips? Do you think the Master of the State Teacher chose the Little Sixth Son because of his background?"

Baili Celing said expressionlessly, "That's not true, after all, his background is not considered noble."

It's not honorable...

Du Ziqing smiled wryly in her heart, that's true, Xie Liu is really nothing compared to Baili Celing.

In fact, Xie Liu can indeed be regarded as a "relative of the emperor" among the hidden piles of common background.

As the personal guard of Chief Commander Lin Shubai, the Black Tiger Army has a rather special composition of personnel.

According to what ordinary people think, the Black Tiger Army is the most powerful army in the Great Qin Dynasty, and its soldiers must be the poor elites who have experienced battles and fought bravely and climbed up from the bottom by themselves.

However, the fact is exactly the opposite. The original members of the Black Tiger Army were all a group of "problem soldiers".

It is reasonable to say that the chief commander chooses his own guards, and he must choose the best from the army at the frontier, especially those who have a clean and loyal family background.

However, Lin Shubai was on the contrary. When the Black Tiger Army was first established, it was dedicated to taking in some "thorns" that were not wanted by other armies.

Most of the soldiers who can guard the border are loyal soldiers who can endure hardships, and those who make trouble at the border are mostly dudes.

Some of these dudes were sent to the border by their families to avoid misfortune when they caused troubles in the capital, some were sent to make military achievements in order to return to the top, and some of them were bastards who had no hope of inheriting the family business. Luck seeks a way out.

Among these people, probably only the last part are still self-motivated and really want to make contributions.When the others arrived at the border, they basically fought and made trouble every day, arguing for treatment and scolding the generals, but because of their powerful families, other generals of ordinary backgrounds could not control them, so they could only suffer from headaches.

Lin Shubai established the Black Tiger Army at the border, and the first thing he did was to recruit such "thorns" in each team.

In this way, the other teams are relaxed, but the Black Tiger Army has completely become a "garbage dump".

Not only that, Lin Shubai also recruited soldiers in Guiyang city, and only recruited those second-generation ancestors who swaggered through the city every day to provoke troubles.

Because many aristocratic children were curious about such a female national teacher, and based on the idea of ​​betting with their companions and "teaching that woman a lesson", there were really many idle dudes who joined the Black Tiger Army.

Of course, they are not here to serve as soldiers, but to find trouble.

The corners of Du Ziqing's mouth curled up, and he smiled softly.

At that time, there was a saying that the Black Tiger Army was a waste group with "full of five poisons".
