Chapter 254
Laughing loudly, the wooden door opened, and six or seven men came out.

These men are all shirtless, and the trousers on their lower bodies are torn, and none of them have holes or patches. look.

Among them, the older ones were 50 to [-] years old, and the younger ones were only in their teens. They came out laughing and joking, and some even held knives in their hands.

Through the open door, under the dim light of the oil lamp, the situation inside is clear at a glance.

Strictly speaking, it was not a house, but a pig's nest, with a lot of straw spread inside, and some tattered bedding scattered on it.

A notched porcelain basin was placed in the center, and inside was a basin of something dark, whose composition could not be seen clearly.

It seemed that this group of people were eating supper, so the oil lamps were still on.

It's just that they are too poor. Not to mention their poor clothes, the pot of things used to improve their lives is the same as pig food.

A family of six or seven strong laborers, how could it be like this?
A mustache seems to be the head here, asking: "Hey, what are you looking for?"

"Xishan Tun, Xiang Barracks!" Jiang Xiaobai repeated.

"There are in Xishan Tunnel, but not in Xiangbing." Mustache walked around Jiang Xiaobai, stared at Jiang Xiaobai's clothes and asked, "You are from Changping Warehouse? Did you bring us food overnight? Where are you?" What about your team?"

Jiang Xiaobai stripped Cangtou's clothes, and there was a big "Cang" character on his chest, which was obviously the uniform responsible for guarding the granary.

Jiang Xiaobai felt that these people looked unkind, so he took a step back and said, "I'm not here to deliver food, I'm looking for someone."

"Why are you here without food?" Mustache looked disappointed, waved his hand and said, "Go back, you are not welcome here!"

"But the barracks..."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Could it be that you are a spy?" Little Beard got impatient and said, "This is Xishantun, and we are Xiangbing, but it is not Xiangbing Camp, but Xiangbing Village."

"Are you soldiers?" Jiang Xiaobai's eyes popped out.

The group of people in front of them are almost like beggars, so how could they become soldiers?
If a soldier looks like this, can he still fight?

"Why, don't you believe it? Tell you, we are the outpost of the box soldiers. You have already entered the important area of ​​the barracks. We can kill you!" Although they said they wanted to kill people, they didn't even bother to raise their knives.

In order to prove that he was really a soldier, Xiao Huzi turned around and took out a broken gong from the house, and knocked it three times with a "dangdangdang".

Soon, the lights in the houses behind were turned on, and more than a dozen people with the same ragged clothes and yellow and emaciated faces came out.

Although they held weapons, these people were lazy and limp, as if they hadn't eaten enough.

"What are you knocking about?" A slightly fatter man came over.

"Boss, we caught a thief, how should we deal with it?" Mustache laughed.

"Just you few cowards can still catch the thief." The fat man curled his lips dismissively and said, "Which thief doesn't open his eyes and comes to our Xishan village to steal things?"

"Soldier, your head was kicked by a donkey, right?"

"Hahaha, I have a lion for him to steal!"

"Lice on your body?"

"Better than you, the lice on your body are starving to death!"

A group of people roared with laughter, not taking Jiang Xiaobai seriously at all.

Jiang Xiaobai was finally convinced that he had found the right place, this was Xishantun, and this was the Xiang Barracks!
It is said that Xiang soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, who plow fields, build bridges and pave roads on weekdays, and are responsible for escorting grain and grass and treating the wounded during wartime, with poor supplies and poor combat effectiveness.

But Jiang Xiaobai never expected that they were so bad.

These are not soldiers, but a group of refugees who have been surrounded. The reason why the government recognizes their identities is not to fight, but to prevent them from going out to harm other people.

Sad, just such a group of people are going to attack Yizhou City?

They probably don't need Jiang Xiaobai's help, let that fat man Fang lead the team to charge once, and they will collapse!

In some sense, what that cangtou said is correct, the government let them go to fight, in fact, it is a burden, and if they die, they don't need to pay for these useless soldiers.

"Is there anything to eat?" Having laughed enough, the fat guy looked at Jiang Xiaobai eagerly and said, "As long as there is a piece of cake, the whole Xishantun can be called whatever you want."

One bite can command this group of soldiers. It is estimated that when they arrive in Yizhou City and see the widow Chen distributing food to the people, they will immediately surrender voluntarily.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed helplessly, and said, "There's nothing to eat, but you should all know the person I'm looking for. His name is Chang Zilong, and he's the Marquis of Duyu here."

"Master Chang?" The fat man smacked his lips and said, "It's the middle of the night, what do you want him for?"

"There is an important military report!" At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai already regretted it a little.

As for this group of garbage soldiers, there is no need to stop them by themselves, and they will not be able to make waves if they go.

"Important military situation?" Fatty's eyes lit up, and he asked, "The departure fee is ready, can we go out?"

Jiang Xiaobai was very surprised, just such a group of lax disciplined guys, they seemed eager to go to war!

Are they still warriors?Nothing like it!
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Well...it's a private matter, I'm friends with Mr. Du Yuhou's younger brother Chang Wei!"

"Private matters, come back tomorrow!" The fat man yawned, waved his hands and said, "Military important places, idlers are not allowed to approach. When you go to the warehouse to pick up a cart of grain tomorrow, you will naturally see Du Yuhou. "

How does this look like a military center?
Jiang Xiaobai said: "This is an urgent matter, I would be very grateful if you could recommend me."

"It's not necessary to be grateful, but it's not impossible to recommend it!" The fat man stretched out a hand and looked at Jiang Xiaobai eagerly.

This is playing a rogue, Ming robbery!
Angry in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the fat man's wrist, exerted force with his five fingers, and shouted: "A bunch of trash, take me to see Chang Zilong!"

"Ah!" The fat man shuddered in pain and roared angrily, "He squeezed me, take him down!"

"Let go!"

"Aren't you afraid of beheading if you dare to trespass into the barracks?"

Several guys with weapons roared loudly, but they just bluffed, and no one rushed forward.

Jiang Xiaobai was furious, kicked the guy on the left with his kick, and with his right hand, grabbed the waist knife from the guy on the right, put it on the fat man's neck, and shouted: "Are you forcing me to do it?"

"Master, I don't dare, I dare not, I was joking just now!" The fat man immediately knelt down, and said pitifully, "Master, I will inform you immediately!"

The fat man knelt down, but his twenty or so subordinates retreated more than ten meters, all showing terrified expressions.

Is this a soldier?

Jiang Xiaobai was furious in his heart, he picked up the fat man in his left hand, and the waist knife in his right hand, and shouted: "Lead the way ahead!"
