The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 250 All People Are Soldiers
One day later, when he got up, Feng Yao was invited by the little old man Qin Yong, saying that he wanted the five thousand elite soldiers to see the master of the palm print.Naturally, Feng Yao couldn't refuse, and he just wanted to see the spirit and might of soldiers left behind by Zhu Xiao back then.

Feng Yao also specially changed into a neat riding outfit, and the fur robe on his body was also changed into a black mink fur, showing a sense of solemnity and desolation.Although Feng Yao is slender, he is taller than ordinary women, and with his straight back, he looks heroic.

Seeing Feng Yao like this, Yun Che admired: "Yao'er is really imposing."

Feng Yao smiled and led the horse out by himself.The thunderbolt also seemed to sense something, stomped its four hooves, and neighed a few times to build up its momentum.

The little old man Qin Yong also led his horse out.Although he is thin and thin, he is about the same height as Feng Yao, but this horse is a godly horse, with satin-like pure black hair, clear pony tail, elegant and handsome when he swings it, it is really a good horse.

"My old man Qin has a stubborn temper, but this horse is gentle. It looks even more docile than Princess Zhang's Thunderbolt." The little old man stroked the bridge of his horse's nose, as if treating his own child.

Feng Yao said with a smile: "Only the indifferent Qin Taishou can keep the lineage of the five thousand brothers. If there is a slight difference, it will not be as ostentatious as it is today."

What Feng Yao meant was to imply that Qin Yong was hiding well enough.Just imagine that if these 5000 men are really strong soldiers with one as ten, then they will have the strength of 5.If Qin Yong's mind is a little bit off, even if he doesn't fight the whole world, at least occupying the three cities in the north is no problem.

Qin Yong was also from Tanhualang's background, and he was an official in the capital, so he couldn't hear the hidden meaning in Feng Yao's words.If it wasn't for the announcement yesterday, Qin Yong would have been frightened by now.But now it seems that Feng Yao has no other intentions, but really praises him for his lack of selfishness.

The three got on their horses and left the city with a dozen or so attendants, heading north all the way.It took more than an hour to walk, and the weather was so cold that the snow on the ground was frozen into a hard shell. When the horse's hoof stepped on it, there was a "click", as if a thin layer of ice had been stepped on.

The more Fengyao walked, the more strange it became. If there is a military parade, there should be camps outside the city.Even if you want to station the barracks far away to hide your strength, it doesn't have to be so far away.I'm afraid that if we go any further, we will reach the border after crossing this extreme northern land.

As if he had discovered Feng Yao's doubts, Qin Yong led his horse to Feng Yao's side, and assured him: "Princess, don't worry, although this trip is far away, it is indeed a place where we can guarantee that those elite soldiers will not be found. Otherwise Over the past few decades, thousands of people have needed a place to practice, food and clothing needs to be prepared, even if it is transported back and forth for a few days, it will be discovered after many years."

After hearing Qin Yong's words, Feng Yao had a thought in his mind, and said with a smile: "Is it a village of its own, and all the people are soldiers?"

"The eldest princess is smart." Qin Yong sincerely praised her.Then he pointed forward: "Just go down to that mountain."

Feng Yao has already seen the mountain in the distance, although the mountain is not big, but its shape is steep, the terrain should be very dangerous.If the 5000 people camped at the foot of the mountain as a village and used the mountain as a cover, they would be able to attack when they advanced and defend when they retreated.If someone came to attack, these people drilled up the mountain, or crossed the border over the mountain. Those chasing soldiers whose route was unknown, naturally couldn't catch them.

Thinking of this, Feng Yao couldn't help speeding up.I really want to quickly see how these loyal people who have lasted for decades endured dormancy here without losing their ambition.

Qin Yong's horse is also extremely fast. Judging from his riding posture, he is not simply a civil servant who has passed Tanhua, he should have some kung fu skills.I heard him say that the ancestor was Zhu Xiao's lieutenant before, it seems that his official position and skill are not ordinary.

A group of people rushed to the foot of the mountain through the wanton cold wind.After riding for nearly two miles, Feng Yao suddenly found that the terrain was descending steeply.Their horses also neighed, pacing chaotically, reluctantly stopped their running posture, and adjusted to walking slowly, so they didn't rush down the slope suddenly, otherwise Feng Yao would be thrown off the horse up.

Even so, Feng Yao was shocked.Although she has learned how to ride a horse for several years, and traveled thousands of miles to Xuecheng, and braved the wind and snow to come to the extreme north of Yancheng, the riding distance is not short.The equestrian skills are fairly proficient, but this is the first time she has encountered such a sudden and steep slope. If she hadn't been riding an experienced thunderbolt, she might really be embarrassed.

After stabilizing the horse, Feng Yao raised his eyes to look again, only to find that the mountain he saw before seemed a lot more majestic.It turned out that it wasn't that the mountain was too short, but that the terrain at the foot of the mountain dropped suddenly. The mountain was like the air hole in the center of a charcoal hot pot, rising from the bottom of the pot.

And at the bottom of the slope, the wind is less, the temperature is higher, and the snow on the ground is thinner.You can even hear the "tata" sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground.It can be seen that the ground here has not frozen yet.

"Elder Princess also found out?" Qin Yong pointed to the ground and said, "If it wasn't so cold this year, there wouldn't be any snow on the ground here. That mountain is actually a volcano, and if you go further into it, there will be hot springs gushing out. Although the temperature here cannot be compared with the real basin, compared with other places in the north, the spring is two months earlier and winter is one month later. Such a special climate allows us to grow food crops for another season. "

"Well, no wonder." Feng Yao nodded, thinking that this place was really well chosen.Although the surrounding area is not large, the land has such magical properties that the extra crops are enough to make the people here self-sufficient.

Yun Che added: "Although there is a border behind the mountain, it is also a primitive forest. There are so many birds and beasts in the forest. Let alone 5000 people who eat meat every day, even if twice as many people come, it will be enough. up."

It was only now that Feng Yao fully understood that in the first two years, a thousand people could grow to five thousand people, apart from being loyal and loyal, such a paradise-like place to hide soldiers is indispensable.

While speaking, a village appeared before Feng Yao's eyes.The houses in the village were arranged in a circle. From the direction they walked, it looked like a round shield propped up. Presumably this should also be a kind of defense.

The little old man Qin Yong also changed his usual sloppy appearance, and pulled out a cow-bone whistle hanging from a red string from his clothes on his chest.Blowing with all the energy, the whistle was clear and high-pitched, straight into the sky, as if blowing the horn of assembly in front of the village.

As the whistle sounded, the doors of the houses in the village opened one by one, and many people came out from inside, gathering in an orderly manner towards the open space outside the village.

　The next time slot is 8 o'clock in the evening.
