"You seemed to have said just now that someone in the barracks mentioned the disappearance." Qin Xiao sat down: "Those people were secretly discussing this, and the commander found out, and then... the result of what you said is

What?"

"Each person was beaten with thirty military sticks." Geng Shao also sat down and said with difficulty: "Two of them were beaten and disabled and could no longer serve as soldiers. They were given a sum of money and kicked out of the White Tiger Camp."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think that Deputy Commander Liu just heard what we said?"

Geng Shao thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know." He glanced at Qin Xiao and said softly: "Riding school, how about... I stand where Deputy Commander Liu was standing just now, and you are here

Speak in the same volume as the conversation we just had, and I'll see if I can hear you over there."

"Good idea." Qin Xiao said immediately: "Hurry over."

Geng Shao did not hesitate, got up and ran to where Liu Wenxuan was standing just now, and nodded to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao then said a few words to Geng Shao. Geng Shao covered his ears with his hands and ran back quickly, seemingly relaxed.

He took a breath and said: "Don't worry, riding school, I can't hear you there."

"So Vice Commander Liu will not hear what we just said?"

"Probably not." Geng Shao was still not entirely sure, and said with a hint of uneasiness: "Maybe Vice Commander Liu has good ears. Otherwise, why would the old Marquis appoint him as his eyes and ears?"

Qin Xiao sighed: "If he really hears us mention the disappearance of Luo Riding School and the others, what will be the consequences?"

"He should tell the commander first." Geng Shao lowered his voice: "Then he will hand over the matter to Commander Yuan. According to the results last time, Commander Yuan will send someone to tie up the riding school master and me, and give each of us a reward.

Thirty army sticks.”

Qin Xiao opened his arms and asked: "I have never been hit by a military stick. Geng Shao, look at my body. Is it possible to be injured when a thirty-year military stick comes down?"

Geng Shao hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

"be honest."

"If it weren't for the magical power possessed by the Riding School, with your physique, and if you had a darker heart when it came to hitting the army stick, the twenty army sticks from the Riding School would definitely be dead." Geng Shao said with certainty: "I should be able to withstand the thirty army sticks.

But even if he is not disabled, he should still have to lie down for several months."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "So we are likely to be in big trouble?"

"If Vice Commander Liu really hears something, I will be the one in trouble, and the riding school will be fine." Geng Shao said, "I will admit to the commander that I was the one who spoke unprotected, and the riding school did not want to hear this, nor did it.

.The riding school has outstanding abilities, and Commander Yuan also loves talents. As long as I take the initiative to plead guilty, Commander Yuan will probably let the riding school go."

Qin Xiao was startled, looked at Geng Shao and said, "Do you remember that yesterday you were still in the Huozi Cavalry School?"

"Remember."

"But today you are just a handyman in the horse yard." Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide: "It's all just because of me."

Geng Shao looked at Qin Xiao, nodded and said, "So what?"

"You don't hate me?"

"Hate you?" Geng Shao said with a smile: "Why do I hate you? I was defeated by you last night, but I am not willing to accept it. However, you moved the Tiger Suppressing Stone. I admire you in my heart. Today you can tame the Black Overlord again, and you can endure a long distance."

Above me. In White Tiger Camp, the strong have always been respected. You are better than me, so of course the riding school belongs to you, so why should I hate you?"

Qin Xiao looked at Geng Shao for a long time and said: "If what you say is true, you are a rare man. If what you say is false, it will be difficult for even me to see. Then your city is really deep, and you are not an ordinary person."

.”

"Just because I took the initiative to help the riding school get rid of the crime, the riding school thinks this is abnormal?" Geng Shao shook his head and said: "There is nothing abnormal about it. It was me who talked too much. If I hadn't blurted it out, the riding school would not have asked questions later. Of course I wouldn't have asked.

I will be implicated."

Qin Xiao reached out and patted Geng Shao's arm and said: "You are a good person. If I really get hit by a military stick, I will be weak, so you can help me support it. Even if you are injured, I can take care of you, otherwise both of us will be injured."

It’s hard to take care of.”

"I thought the riding school would receive the punishment together with me." Geng Shao said in shock: "The riding school doesn't look like an unloyal person."

Qin Xiao scratched his head and said: "Actually, I am very loyal, but it depends on the situation. This time you will treat me as a test for you. If you pass this test, you and I will share the blessings and hardships in the future. Don't worry, as long as

If there is a chance, I will let you return to Fire Rider immediately."

Geng Shao looked at Qin Xiao blankly, and after a moment, he sighed: "Riding school, I would like to ask, are you noble this year?"

"Sixteen!"

"Excuse me, but you don't look like sixteen, but sixty."

Qin Xiao knew that this guy was mocking him for being cunning and deceitful, so he laughed and didn't care. He thought to himself that he was working in the A-shaped prison and had seen all kinds of prisoners. After staying with those guys for a long time, all those frivolous things were clear to him.

Chu, you should naturally use it when you should use it.

Qin Xiao was worried that if Liu Wenxuan heard him and Geng Shao discussing the disappearance, Yuan Shangyu would cause trouble for him at any time.

However, Liu Wenxuan didn't seem to hear anything, or he didn't tell Yuan Shangyu what he heard. The next day, Captain Cao came over to inform Qin Xiao that he wanted to set up a tent for the Black Overlord in Huoziqi, which violated military regulations and could not be done.

, but because Black Overlord is really arrogant, if you really put it in a stable with other war horses, it will definitely make other war horses uneasy and unable to have a good rest.

Therefore, the commander ordered a new stable to be built for Black Overlord near the stable.

Although Qin Xiao was slightly disappointed, he still got the special treatment of a single room for Black Overlord, which was not bad.

Captain Cao was doing things quite reliably. He found some manpower that day and quickly built a stable for Black Overlord. It was clean and tidy. Qin Xiao even went to the horse stable in person to find Captain He who was about to bring a bunch of horses.

I'm afraid that my black overlord won't be able to eat enough and his body will be starved.

If he gets more horse riding materials from the majestic Huozi Riding School, naturally no one will dare to say anything.

Qin Xiao kept in mind Geng Shao's words that the ultimate goal of horsemanship is to build a deep relationship between man and horse, so whenever he had free time, he would stay in the Black Overlord's stable, not only feeding the food himself, but also feeding the horse every day.

Clean the stable well and create comfortable living conditions for the Black Overlord.

Black Overlord is a sweet-tempered horse. He was tamed by Qin Xiao and has already recognized his master. This kind of horse that values ​​​​love will be aloof and aloof before accepting someone, and will not look at anyone seriously. But once it is tamed, it will be docile.

Very, very obedient.

This is like an iceberg beauty. Before conquering her, she was arrogant and cold as ice. But once she is completely conquered by a man, although she is still an iceberg beauty in the eyes of others, in front of her own man, she will behave like a kitten.

Black Overlord is having this trend.

Perhaps the man and the horse really had the same temperament. In the following days, under the guidance of Geng Shao, Qin Xiao's horsemanship skills improved by leaps and bounds. In less than a month of training, Qin Xiao and Hei Bawang had almost figured out each other's tricks.

As Geng Shao said, once a man and a horse understand and trust each other, both parties can guess the other's next move with a small movement. Therefore, many difficult movements can be easily performed by the cooperation of the man and the horse.

come out.

Over the past few months, although Qin Xiao has been practicing archery, his focus has still been on equestrian skills.

He is already smart, and his skills are much more flexible than ordinary people. Coupled with his growing understanding of the Black Overlord, his equestrian skills have improved by leaps and bounds, but his archery skills are still ordinary, and he has roughly mastered the basic essentials of archery.

This archery is different from equestrianism.

To become a top archer, in addition to hard training, you also really need some talent.

Qin Xiao feels that he does have extraordinary talent in equestrian skills, but he has not shown much talent in archery. If he wants to achieve some success in archery, he can only spend more time and practice hard.

Riding horses and practicing archery every day feels very fulfilling.

The Fire Cavalry was trained by five team leaders, and Qin Xiao went over to hang out from time to time.

Qin Xiao suddenly felt that what Commander Yuan said that night when he promoted him to the riding school was indeed correct.

There are strict military regulations for cavalry training, and everyone is used to it. They know when to do what to do and how to do it. With or without his riding school, it seems that the impact is not big. Maybe Yuan Shangyu is right.

, the role of this riding school is really to be cannon fodder in the lead when going to the battlefield.

After mentioning the disappearance to Geng Shao that day, the two of them were really worried about trouble in the first few days. However, as the days passed, everything went smoothly. After that day, Deputy Commander Liu disappeared again, but Baihu Camp

If you are used to it, no one will care.

In early September, the grass is growing and eagles are flying, and it is already late autumn.

Soldiers in the White Tiger Camp each have two days off every month, taking turns to rest. During their breaks, they can be led by their generals to visit Fenggan Mansion City, but their identities must be concealed and they can only go there in casual clothes.

The number of people entering the city at any time is not too large and there are strict restrictions.

Qin Xiao didn't have much interest in going to the city.

On the contrary, as time went by, in the dead of night, I missed Turtle City particularly. I dreamed several times in the middle of the night that Meng Zimo and his young aunt were caught, tortured and almost died, and they would suddenly wake up.

There has been no news about Yuwen Chengchao for more than a month, and the eldest son seems to have forgotten about him.

That night, not long after he fell asleep in the tent, he heard shouts from outside. He would not sleep too hard when sleeping. A few soft screams woke him up. He sat up and asked: "Who is it?"

?”

"Wang Cavalry School, the Commander-in-Chief has sent someone to call you over." Captain Lu's voice came from outside: "They said they are waiting for you."

Qin Xiao tidied up and walked out of the tent. He saw Captain Lu still outside. Knowing that he should be on night duty tonight, he looked up at the night sky and asked, "What time is it?"

"When I first came in," Captain Lu said respectfully.

Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that at this time in the past, almost everyone in the battalion, except those on patrol and night duty, had fallen asleep, and Commander Yuan had always lived a very regular life, going to bed early and getting up early. It was now midnight, and he didn't know he was being summoned.

What to do.

But naturally one cannot disobey the commander's summons.

He quickly came outside the commander's tent and saw the lights inside the tent. He faintly heard voices coming from inside, as if someone was talking. He stepped forward and was about to let the guard outside the tent report something when he suddenly felt a force behind him.
