Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 17
a few days later.

Zhang Qi and the others traveled through mountains and rivers, and after passing through the big swamp south of Beiman Mountain, they finally set foot on the territory of Beiliang County.

Two more people died on the way.

During this trip to gather ginseng, as many as eleven people died in the team, and the death rate exceeded one-tenth.

Although the ginseng pickers who survived were in a mess and even in a state of distress, everyone's eyes were full of hope.

In half a day, they will be able to return to Baisha City.

The North Mang ginseng they collected was enough to feed them and their families for a long time.

Zhang Qi noticed that the ginseng collectors in the team did not relax their vigilance because of this, but became more vigilant.

Yuzijian told him that everyone was innocent and conceived a crime, and these ginseng pickers who returned from picking ginseng were easily attacked by robbers and bandits during the journey back to Baisha City.

An accident happened when there were only the last fifty miles away from Baisha City.

Tatata!
More than a dozen knights rushed forward from the front, and in a blink of an eye, they roared and surrounded all the ginseng collectors present in a fan shape.

The movements are clean and neat.

Seems to be well-trained.

What is even more striking is that these knights are all wearing excellent battle armor, and the horses under their crotch are all of uniform size, coat and color, which is only the case with war horses raised in the army.

"It's the cavalry stationed in Baisha City."

Yu Zijian, who was standing beside Zhang Qi, muttered softly.

Zhang Qi nodded silently, looking at the leader of the dozen or so knights.

The leader was a burly man with thick hair, with a beard around his face, he looked like Zhang Fei, and his figure was extremely strong, his arms were thicker than the thighs of ordinary people, and his weapon was two meters long What a long saber.

When rushing to fight on the battlefield, it is definitely a child with one knife.

These knights did not speak, but looked at the group of ginseng pickers with interest, as if they were sizing up their prey.

All the participating participants were all trembling with fright.

His face was full of despair.

They did not encounter robbers blocking the road, but encountered "soldiers and bandits" who were even more terrifying than robbers.

These officers and soldiers killed people more ruthlessly than those robbers.

Suddenly, the bearded officer in the lead pointed at the crowd with a saber in his hand, and shouted, "Don't kneel down yet!"

Pfft!
These ginseng collectors did not hesitate, and knelt down one after another. People do not fight with officials, let alone these officers and soldiers who kill without blinking an eye.

In a blink of an eye.

All the ginseng collectors knelt down, only two people were still standing.

Zhang Qi and Yu Zijia.

"How brave!"

The bearded officer glanced at the two of them coldly, just as he was about to order the massacre.

Yuzi came out more and more, and cupped his hands at the bearded officer, "Captain Chen, long time no see."

"what?"

The bearded officer stared fiercely at Yu Zimao with his eyes like copper bells, and shouted, "Who are you to know the leader of this team?"

His surname is Chen Mingling, and he is a captain of the Baisha City Cavalry Troop. He is in charge of fifteen cavalrymen. He usually stays in the barracks and rarely goes out. Apart from his colleagues in the army, few people know him.

"I'm Xia Yuzi, the leader of the rangers in Baisha City."

Facing Chen Ling's oppressive gaze, Yu Zimai said without panic, "Last month in Zuixianfang, I met Team Leader Chen once."

"The ranger leader?"

Chen Ling was a little stunned first, and then showed disdain, "You bastard, no wonder I don't remember you."

"Captain Chen, you are wrong."

Yuzi said seriously: "The sage said that people are good and bad, and seedlings are good and bad.

Among the rangers, there are thieves, and there are also people who do justice for the sky.It's the same with soldiers, there are good soldiers who fought and died for the country, and there are also shameless scum who don't know what military discipline is..."

"presumptuous!"

Chen Ling was furious, and he slashed the saber in his hand, cutting a deep ravine on the ground in front of Yuzikan, "You are a little leader of a ranger, the leader of this team will kill you like a chicken's ear."

"I don't regret dying."

Yuzi was not afraid, but took a step forward, facing the blade directly, "However, Captain Chen's family lives in Xicheng, I'm afraid it will be precarious."

"You dare to threaten me?"

Chen Ling stared at Yu Zijian, and if there was any real killing intent in his eyes, it would almost overflow.

"No."

Yu Ziyan smiled and said, "I'm just convincing people with reasoning."

"Humph!"

Chen Ling snorted heavily.

All he had to do was swing the saber in his hand, and he could split the person in front of him in two, but when he thought about the identity of this person, he... hesitated.

Although he looks down on rangers.

But he also knew what price he would pay for killing the leader of a group of rangers.

Unless he can kill all the rangers in Baisha City.

Otherwise, there will be no end to death!
He and his family will face endless assassinations.

It's... not worth it.

Anyway, there are so many ginseng collectors, just like weeds on the ground, if you can't cut this crop, there will be another crop, so there is no need to risk yourself.

"Youxia Yuzijia, I remember you."

"go!"

After uttering a harsh word, Chen Ling led his knights and turned their horses to leave. They came and went like the wind, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.

"Thank you, Chief Yu, for saving your life!"

All the ginseng pickers who were rescued by Yuzijian kowtowed to him.

If it hadn't been for Yuzimai to stand up and drive away the dozen or so knights, everyone present would have saved their lives, but the ginseng collected from Beiman Mountain, which they risked their lives to collect, would definitely not be able to survive.

For these ginseng collectors, this is not much different from killing them.

When everyone started their journey again, Zhang Qi found Yuzifang.

"Are you really the Ranger leader?"

"The first time I saw you, I will tell the truth. I am the leader of the ranger in Baisha City, but you don't believe it. But brother Da Ke, you have been hiding something from me."

"Since this is the case, then I have a showdown. Actually, I am not a ranger, but a soldier."

"I've already seen it."

"When?"

"On the first day, when you said you liked to stab people with a gun, I knew you were not a ranger, because there is no ranger in the world who would stab people with a gun."

"That's it now."

"Oh, don't you want to be a soldier?"

"The main job is to be a soldier, and the part-time ranger."

"..."

*

For the next fifty miles, there were no more accidents.

After entering Baisha City through the North City Gate, everyone parted ways immediately, and disappeared in the streets and alleys of the city in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Qi and Yuzijian were also ready to say goodbye.

Yuziyan invited him, "Brother Zhang, come sit with me?"

"Another day."

Zhang Qi politely declined and said, "When I finish the work at hand, I will definitely pay a visit."

"Alright."

Yu Ziyan nodded and watched Zhang Qi go away.

At this time, two rangers with swords on their waists appeared in front of him, Ji Shou said: "I have seen the big leader."

"Ah."

After Yuzimai nodded slightly, he took out the North Mang Ginseng he had dug from Tianzhu Peak from his bosom, and stuffed it into the hand of the young ranger on the left, "Qingzhi, this 50-year-old North Mang Ginseng can save your father's life." One life."

The ranger named Qingzhi looked astonished, obviously he didn't expect that the chief executive would go out to collect ginseng these days when he was out of the city.

And he risked his life to collect ginseng for his seriously ill father.

His eyes were red, he knelt down on the ground, and wept: "The kindness of the great leader is hard to repay in three generations, and I wish to die in celebration!"

"My brother, there is no need to do this."

Yu Zimao stretched out his hand to pull Qing Zhi up, and said with a smile, "This trip to gather ginseng has allowed me to meet a strange man."

"It's rare to be called a strange person by the chieftain."

Another old ranger said: "Could it be that little brother just now, I think his behavior is upright, his aura is restrained but sharp, he should be from the army. However, he has another aura, I just see well."

"Haha, the one who can make you unable to see through Yingfeng is definitely a strange person."

Saying that, the smile on Yuzimai's face faded away, showing a bit of sternness, "Come on, let's go back and make plans."

The two rangers looked at each other.

"Who does the big boss want to kill?"

"The leader of the team, Chen Ling, sent troops to plunder the people, and his crime should be punished!"
