Chapter 126 Array
The ship approached the dock, and Xu Zhong and others looked forward with crutches.
There was also a man from the Xu family shouting: "Hurry, hurry up, take off a few horses first, hurry up."
The men on the boat were busy unloading the horses on the deck. These horses were not used to boarding the boat. Most of them were honest and quiet, and seemed a little unscrupulous.
After removing a few horses, someone was already happily holding Xu Zhong in front of him and laughed: "Brother, what a good horse, it's a war horse. The war horses in the army are similar to our previous mounts."
Xu Zhong reached out and placed his hand on the neck of a horse, constantly stroking the horse's hair, smiling: "Good horse, it's really a good horse. Jie'er has the means to get as many as a hundred horses as such."
Xu Laoqi quickly jumped onto the boat and brought a saddle. He was very skillful and installed it on the horse's back. He was almost done. He even put his hand into the tied cowhide belt and tried the elasticity. The horse lovers had to tie the saddle belt even if it was not loose or tight. They had to be safe and not to snatch the horse. After waiting for a try, Laoqi turned around and smiled, "Tie it, brother, try it first?"
Then Xu Zhong replied, "Let's untickle the saddle first. These horses are not used to the boat. They feel like taking them back for cultivation first, and feeding some essence. They will wait for a rest and try again tomorrow."
Xu Laoqi was not discouraged when he heard this. He happily went to untidy the saddle that had just been settled, and said with a smile: "Brother is saying very well, but I am a little anxious. I will go to the city later and ask the craftsman to build a stable."
Xu Zhong nodded when he heard this, but his hand was rubbing the neck of the horse in front of him. He kept on for a long time, obviously he loved it very much.
At this time, more than a dozen men came down from the ship, and the head of Zhou's escort head of Shouzhou Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau. Seeing Xu Zhong standing in front of the center of the man, there was no need to guess. He rushed over from the dock a few steps and bowed to him: "When Zhou Xiwang, the head of the escort head of the Shouzhou Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau, I have met Xu Daxia."
This time, the head of Zhou Maidou didn't know about the Xu family before, but now he has entered Dajiang County and has seen Liu Gai. He already knows that after the initial shock, he slowly calmed down. Even though he finally knew what the unexpected joy in Xu Jie said meant.
The Xu family suddenly rose and even controlled the water surface of the entire middle and lower reaches of the river. Even the Jiangnan River is in the Jiangnan River. It is also slowly reported that the sword skills of the eighteen-handed ones are so sharp that they are invincible. The Xu family, Zhou PaoTou, had heard of this in the Jianghu before, but they just didn't take it seriously. Now that they have passed the Dabie Mountains, they have truly understood the meaning.
Seeing that the middle-aged man in front of him was very considerate, Xu Zhong raised his hand and gently helped him, and smiled and said, "Here is polite to Master Zhou, has Zhou Biao met my nephew?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiwang nodded quickly: "Xu Daxia, I have been with Mr. Xu for a few days. When I saw this, I felt good about it. Mr. Xu is really extraordinary."
Xu Zhong heard Zhou Xiwang praise Xu Jie, and his face smiled even more. He raised his hand and asked, "Zhou Pao Head is a guest from afar. I have invited you to prepare some wine and food in the town. Let's listen to Zhou Pao Head telling you the cause and effect."
Zhou Xiwang felt flattered when he heard Xu Zhong prepares wine and food, so he heard what Liu Gai, the leader of the Hanshui Gang, said that the Xu family has long been the leading force in the rivers and lakes on both sides of the river. Even Xujia Town has two innate masters. The man with only one leg in front of him is one of these two innate masters.
In Zhou Xiwang's eyes, the innate master was a person like a god descending to earth. At this time, such a person was so polite and thoughtful to him as an escort leader in a small escort agency. He was very excited, but his face was suppressed, and he bowed his hands and asked: "Shi Xia Xu first!"
Xu Zhong was not polite, and turned around slowly with crutches.
Another person came up from behind. It was Liu Gai, the leader of the Hanshui Gang. At this time, he had just arranged his subordinates to work hard, so he rushed over to pay homage and gave Xu Zhong the letter he handed to him through Zhou's head.
In Xu Jie's letter, there were also words for Xu Zhong, but the content was very simple, which was to let Xu Zhong take care of the business of Zhou's escort.
After seeing the letter, Xu Zhong returned the letter to Liu Gai and invited Liu Gai to have a banquet in the town.
Although the Shouzhou Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency has a prestigious reputation as "Dragon and Tiger", it has always been a small escort agency. It is also the lucky one this week that a escort that is no different from usual is encountered by chance.
The Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency is obviously about to make a fortune. No matter where it is, there will be no escorts that the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency cannot walk from now on. It is not in vain that the Zhou Dynasty looks west day and night, and walks through the small paths and streams. It is not only worried that the people in the martial arts world will block the road and rob the horses, but also worried that the officials will catch them.
Things in the world are rewarded with hard work. Although this is not necessarily the case, there will definitely be no reward without hard work.
The next morning.
In front of Xujia Town, hundreds of men were busy feeding the horses and preparing saddles. They even carried out many large boxes from the town. The boxes were opened, all of which were powerful crossbows.
The half-aged boys were running back and forth on the road leading to the county town, holding knives and hoes. The branches on the roadside stretched out low and cut them down to avoid blocking the horse's knights. If the ground was uneven, they also used hoes to rake to avoid hurting the horse's legs.
Xu Zhong turned over the horse and abandoned the iron crutch. Someone was helping Xu Zhong tie the root of the lost leg to the saddle, so that Xu Zhong could balance immediately.
Xu Laoqi got on the horse and walked slowly to Xu Zhong, and smiled and said, "Brother, do we have to build some fine iron spears? It is best to use spears to rush into the formation."
Xu Zhong smiled and joked: "Lao Qi, do you still have to build a batch of iron armor?"
Lao Qi laughed at the sound of the words: "Hey, what my brother said is that if you want to have the majesty of the past, you should build a batch of iron armor and iron helmets, which is so majestic."
Xu Zhong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't go into battle. I'll ask someone to spread it out. There will be no need to worry about it. Even if the iron armor is gone, even this powerful crossbow needs to be given instructions and not to be told everywhere."
Xu Laoqi was a little discouraged when he heard this and murmured: "Brother, it would be great if he could still wear heavy armor on his body."
Xu Zhong no longer paid attention to it, but looked up straight and said softly: "Range the array!"
The many knights on the horse's back suddenly stopped smiling and pulled the horses lightly. In an instant, all the hundreds of horses gathered together. There were six horses in a row and more than a dozen people in a row, very neat.
The polishing and training of the former battle formations has never disappeared after more than ten years.
There were countless onlookers next to them, including the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency, the Dajiang Gang, many half-best children in the town, and many old, weak, women and children in the town.
Even during the Chinese New Year, everyone rushed to see the 100 knights. Seeing that these knights were neatly arranged, they burst into cheers.
