Chapter 95 Horse Farm

Qin Xiao followed Ning Zhifeng on horseback to the camp gate and got off their horses.

"I informed Commander Yuan that Ning Zhifeng had sent someone to him on the order of the eldest son." Ning Zhifeng said directly to the guard in front of the door.

The guard cupped his hands, turned around and quickly ran into the camp to report.

"Brother Wang, White Tiger Camp has been very strict since its establishment." Ning Zhifeng then said to Qin Xiao: "When you enter the camp, you have to rely on yourself for everything. The military regulations are strict, and there are some things that the eldest son is not easy to talk about.

He came closer and whispered: "Although there are a few people in the camp who come in through connections, they are rare. If you want to get in here, you have to rely on your own ability."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that I had never thought about being the commander of Baihu camp. I just wanted to hide here for a few months. When it was almost time, I would leave when it was time. He smiled and said: "Brother Ning, don't worry, I will abide by it."

Military rules, don't embarrass the eldest son."

Ning Zhifeng patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are really sensible." He whispered: "Anyway, you are the person sent here by the eldest son. If you cause trouble, you will indeed

It brings shame to the eldest young master, but if you really do meritorious service, it will also bring shame to the eldest young master." After hesitating, he finally leaned into Qin Xiao's ear and said: "But you are new here. After entering the camp, you should get familiar with it first, and don't talk to him.

People easily make grudges. White Tiger Camp is not an ordinary military camp. The strong are respected. This is also the rule set by the old marquis back then. There are many brave and powerful people in this camp. Try not to conflict with them, otherwise the eldest son will not

I will ask about the affairs of the barracks."

Qin Xiao nodded.

The barracks is a place of swordsmanship, and it is a place full of murderous intent and hostility. Ning Zhifeng's words are naturally a reminder not to be too showy in the barracks.

Not long after, I saw the guard running back, followed soon by a man in black armor coming over. He was thirty-six or seventeen years old, with a typical northwest body type, tall and tall.

, his face is dark, and his steps are very heavy when he walks.

Qin Xiao wondered whether this was Yuan Shangyu, the commander of Baihu Camp?

"This is Su Chao, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Camp." Ning Zhifeng whispered, already stepped forward to greet him, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Su!"

"It turns out it's Brother Ning." Su Chao quickened his pace, stepped forward and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while. It's really not fun for you to say that you haven't invited me to a banquet since you left Baihu Camp. Follow me.

Young Master, don’t you look down on us anymore?”

Ning Zhifeng stretched out his fist, hit Su Chao on the shoulder, and cursed: "Back in the military camp, didn't you trick me into drinking some of my military pay? Stop talking nonsense. I gave it to you on the order of the eldest son.

I sent someone here." He turned around and said, "Wang Xiao, come here to meet Deputy Commander Su."

Qin Xiao stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I've met Deputy Commander Su!"

Su Chao looked up and down, frowned and said: "It looks very strange, we have never seen it before."

"He met the eldest son when he was out hunting." Ning Zhifeng said, "The eldest son promised to find him a job, so he sent him to the barracks. Brother Su, you will take more care of him from now on." But he did not mention it.

Qin Xiao helped Yuwen Chengchao.

Su Chao smiled and said: "It's not about taking care of you. You also know that it is not easy to enter the White Tiger Camp. This young man's body is a bit thin. If he is not the eldest son, he really is not qualified to enter the White Tiger Camp."

Qin Xiao had actually discovered long ago that the four soldiers guarding the camp gate were all burly and extremely tall. There was some gap between him and them in terms of height and body shape.

It seems that when selecting people in the White Tiger Camp, they first look at body type.

"Of course, if there is an eldest son, White Tiger Camp will naturally take him in." Su Chao saw that Ning Zhifeng's face was a little ugly, and immediately smiled and said: "Go back and tell the eldest son, and we will do our best to take care of him."

Ning Zhifeng cupped his hands, turned around, got on the horse, and took the horse that Qin Xiao rode over. Then he said to Qin Xiao: "Brother Wang, just follow Deputy Commander Su into the camp. Just abide by military regulations."

He nodded to Su Chao, turned around and rode away.

Su Chao then glanced at Qin Xiao and said calmly: "Come in with me."

Qin Xiao followed Su Chao into the camp. Looking from a distance, the camp was empty. Most of them were cowhide tents and there were only a few brick buildings. On the grassland in the distance, many soldiers were riding shirtless horses, and there were many people riding horses.

Practice archery at the archery range.

At first glance, the White Tiger Barracks looks like a small town.

After walking for a while, Su Chao didn't say a word. He suddenly raised his hand and waved not far away: "Geng Shao, come here!"

A shirtless man quickly ran over, bent down and said, "Sir!"

"I heard that someone under your command is sick. How is he doing now?"

"Reporting to you, sir, I have improved and started training yesterday." Geng Shao said.

Su Chao frowned and said: "There are eight hundred cavalry in the barracks, and there is no room for one more person. The eldest son sent someone here, thinking that someone under your command would be sick, so let this person take over...!"

"Sir, he has recovered from his illness now. He has no major problems and is training very hard." Geng Shao glanced at Qin Xiao: "I'm afraid there is no staff here."

Su Chao turned to look at Qin Xiao and said: "Wang Xiao, when the eldest son sent you to the camp, you were supposed to be given an establishment. However, there were no casualties in the camp, and no one was expelled for violating military regulations. The 800 establishment was full, even if

The addition of you is a violation of the imperial court's will. Once the imperial court finds out, the trouble will be huge."

Qin Xiao thought to himself that Su Chao was outside the camp gate just now and seemed to dislike him.

Maybe it was because he saw that his body was a little thin, and he felt contempt for him, or maybe he felt that he was a person sent by the eldest son and entered the camp because of his connections, so he looked down upon himself.

Qin Xiao obviously felt that Su Chao didn't like him very much.

"Deputy Commander Su, if it's inconvenient, I can leave." Qin Xiao thought to himself that Su Chao said that the 800 establishment was full, which meant that there was no place for him in Baihu Camp, so he didn't have to stay here.

But he was very surprised in his heart.

In any case, he was sent here by someone from Yuwen Chengchao. This White Tiger Camp is also directly affiliated with the Yuwen family, and the money spent is the Yuwen family's money.

Although Yuwen Chengchao moved away from the Hou Mansion, he was still the eldest son of the Yuwen family. Although Su Chao had a high status in Baihu Camp, in the eyes of the Yuwen family, he was nothing more than a slave.

How could he dare to disobey Yuwen Chengchao's orders and use the excuse that the establishment was full to not accommodate him?

Su Chao smiled faintly and said: "Don't think too much, I don't mean to let you leave." After thinking for a while, he said: "Although the establishment is temporarily full and it is difficult to include you, we need to arrange a person in the barracks.

It's not difficult to get people." He raised his hand and pointed to the distance and said: "There are stables, weapons shops, and blacksmith shops in the barracks. There is also a cooking room specially responsible for everyone's food. Yes, the horse feed needed for the war horses may require people every day.

Supply, manpower can be arranged in these places. Although military pay is a little lower, it is still much better than ordinary people."

Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, wondering if Su Chao wanted to arrange for him to work in these odd jobs?

"In addition to the eight hundred cavalry in the barracks, there are also two to three hundred people who do logistics and chores." Su Chao said: "Wang Xiao, if you are willing, I will arrange for you to go to these places to do miscellaneous work first. When there is a vacancy in the establishment, the first one will be let go.

You make up for it, what do you think?"

Geng Shao, who was shirtless, immediately said: "Sir, the horse stable is short of manpower. You can transfer him to the horse stable."

"Yes, let's go to the horse stable." Su Chao pointed to the far corner: "The horse stable is over there. If you are willing to stay, you can do something in the horse stable for the time being. You will also get two taels of silver a month as military pay.

Although it is a little less than the cavalry, it is something that ordinary people can't ask for." He said with a smile but not a smile: "Of course, if you feel that you are unworthy of your talents and want to go back to the eldest son, don't say that I am making things difficult for you. Military Camp

There are rules in the military camp. You can't withdraw other people's personnel for no reason because of you. This is unfair to others, and it will also make the soldiers think that the eldest son is showing favoritism. This is always not good, don't you think?"

Qin Xiao said with a smile on his face: "Everything is at the discretion of the deputy commander."

Seeing that Qin Xiao was still obedient, Su Chao smiled and said: "That's very good. Geng Shao, take him to the horse stable." Without talking nonsense, he turned around and left.

Geng Shao said calmly: "Follow me." He turned around and went to the horse stable, Qin Xiao followed behind, thinking that he would be in peace once he came, no matter where he was, he could hold on for a few months and then leave.

The White Tiger Camp is indeed extremely spacious. Along the way, in addition to the neat cowhide tents and barracks, there is also a wide archery range and a pasture for horseback riding training. In addition, there are soldiers training sword skills and soldiers training spears.

The soldiers who were being trained were all bare-chested, and all of them were hunky-backed, and there were almost no soldiers with weak bodies.

Qin Xiao also knew in his heart that his body was indeed too thin and delicate in appearance, and he was not at all like the soldiers here who were as muscular as the soldiers here and full of murderous aura.

No wonder Su Chao and Geng Shao were prejudiced against him from the beginning.

In addition to the training place, Qin Xiao also saw that there was indeed a blacksmith shop in the camp. The sound of blacksmithing could be heard. It must be that weapons were being repaired. After all, hundreds of people in Baihu Camp were training every day, and weapons, armor and other equipment would inevitably be damaged.

The blacksmith shop is used to repair these damaged weapons and armors.

The stable is some way away from the barracks, and the horse stable is right next to the stable.

Geng Shao took Qin Xiao to the horse stable, and a man about forty years old ran up, bowed and said with a smile: "Geng Riding School, why are you here? If there is anything you need to call me, there is no use.

I want you to come here in person. That’s right, you want to see Hongzi? I’ll call him right away.”

"It has nothing to do with him, I just sent you a man." Geng Shao said: "Didn't you say there is a shortage of manpower here? Come on, Wang Xiao, this is Captain He from the horse stable. From now on, you will follow Captain He here.

Live. Just follow Captain He's arrangements for everything."

Qin Xiao stepped forward and bowed, Captain He was looking up and down, frowned and said: "College Geng, can he do hard work?"

"Whether I can do it depends on how you train me." Geng Shao said lukewarmly, "I leave it to you." He stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left.

As soon as Geng Shao left, He Captain straightened his back, turned around and walked inside without even looking at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao frowned and thought why not arrange it for himself. How could a team in a horse stable be so big?
