Tang Ke was not difficult to get in touch with. After putting down everything in his room, he walked out, sat on the floor with Lin Xi, and started talking.

"Do you really know nothing about the military structure of our Yunqin Empire?"

Lin Xi was curious about what kind of place the Border Army was, but Tang Ke was surprised that Lin Xi knew nothing about it.

"Don't think that just because I have entered the Tianxuan, I should know a lot of things. I told you, I don't even know how I was recommended here. My father is just an ordinary businessman with some shops." Lin Xi rubbed himself and still

With some sore calves, he said: "So let alone the military establishment, I don't even know what kind of officials are high and what kind of officials are junior. At best, I only know that the highest officer of a town is called the town governor, and then up there are

Lingdu, provincial governor, that’s all.”

"In addition to the military establishment, I only know that there are eight divisions." Tang Ke also followed Lin Xi's example and rubbed his calves, trying to relax himself. Without the long knife on his back, he was not used to it.

Unconsciously cautious. "Our Yunqin Empire's army is divided into three major systems: Zhongzhou Guards, Local Army and Frontier Army." This tall and thin boy with a slightly stooped back corrected Lin Xi while organizing his sentences.

An error in the statement: "Strictly speaking, the frontier army only refers to the garrison stationed and guarding the outermost areas of the empire, not where."

Lin Xi nodded, indicating that she understood this statement.

Tang Ke pondered: "Our Yunqin Empire was founded by force, and the army is the most powerful. The Zhongzhou Guard is the army that guards the imperial city of Zhongzhou and is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. There is essentially no difference between the local army and the border army, except that the place where they are stationed is different.

Same."

"Is it because the place where the border army is stationed is too dangerous that the biggest difference between the local army and the border army is caused?"

"Yes." Tang Ke looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Do you know why most of us 'border barbarians' don't have hair, and most of them are rather rickety?"

Lin Xi looked into Tang Ke's eyes quietly and shook her head: "To be honest, I'm very curious, but I can't figure out the reason."

Tang Ke said silently: "Because long hair makes it easy to have difficulty moving, and it can catch on things and make noises. As for most of them, they are stooped. Some of them are due to the fact that they had to do a lot of work that was inappropriate for their age when they were children. They were already like this when they were in the border army, and some of them are

, but it is a habit developed among the border troops, because the more you curl up, the less likely you are to be hit by a sudden cold arrow. Because the casualties of the border troops have always been very high, in addition to the regular troops sent every year

In addition to the soldiers, there were also a large number of refugees. The prisoners became frontier soldiers. The refugees wanted to make meritorious deeds... According to the laws of the Yunqin Empire, military merit could make up for the merit."

Lin Xi frowned: "So, the situation in our Yunqin Empire is not as peaceful as I saw?"

"Our Yunqin Empire has three major border armies, the Biluo Border Army, the Qianxia Border Army, and the Dragon Snake Border Army." Tang Ke looked at Lin Xi and explained softly: "Fifty years ago, Dean Zhang killed thirty Xiyi soldiers in a row in one night.

The head of the famous general drove the fifteen tribes of Xiyi to the west of Biluoling. However, in the past fifty years, the tribes of Xiyi have completely become rogues. Every autumn and winter, a large number of rogues will cross Biluoling, and these rogues occupy the

Further west is the territory of the Ancient Tang and Zang Kingdom. In recent years, some soldiers and masters from the Ancient Tang and Zang Kingdom have frequently appeared near Biluoling. They fought with the border troops of Biluoling, causing casualties on each other. However, due to the national strength of both sides, neither dared to do so.

It’s just a matter of quarreling, and everyone is consuming each other. As for the Dragon Snake Frontier Army, it is east of the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, and there are many uncivilized cave barbarians in the Huangze Territory. As for the Qianxia Frontier Army, it is Dean Zhang and Vice Dean Xia

After they killed the Nanmo Kingdom in the Battle of Falling Star Lake and forced them to retreat, they occupied the Qianxia Mountain that originally belonged to the Nanmo Kingdom. After that battle, the Nanmo Kingdom changed its dynasty and became the Damang Dynasty. In the past ten years, Long

The Snake Bian Army is in the Blackwater area, but has already fought many battles with the armies of the Damang Dynasty."

"So, there are hidden worries in the west, south, and east, but what about the north?" Lin Xi's brows furrowed even more when Tang Ke mentioned the Dragon and Snake Border Army, because he was in Lulin Town.

, it’s not that far away from the Dragon Snake Mountain Range.

"The north is covered with ice and snow, and is guarded by the Dengtian Mountains and Qingluan Academy that even the army cannot climb. There is nothing to worry about. However, the other three places have also consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources of our Yunqin Empire, and the Dragon Snake Mountain

The harsh environment in the other three places also prevented the border troops of our Yunqin Empire from going deep. Therefore, the rogue bandits from Xiyi and the cave barbarians outside the Dragon Snake Mountain Range could not be completely wiped out. They were all cut like the grass on the original ground.

Another batch has grown. In recent years, our Yunqin Empire has appeared to be extremely powerful and live and work in peace and contentment, but in fact it has been encroached on by three sides. Just comparing the things distributed to the border troops with those of more than ten years ago, we can see that our Yunqin Empire

The empire is now in embarrassment."

"In other words, the tranquility of our Lulin Town is also based on the bloody guard of those border troops, refugees, and prisoners." Lin Xi looked at Tang Ke with some admiration and said: "I didn't expect you to know so much and have such insight.

"

Tang Ke's face turned slightly gray and he shook his head: "At my age, how could I know so much? Without personal experience, how could I dare to comment on what the border army issued more than ten years ago and what it has now?

different."

Lin Xi turned his head and glanced at Tang Ke's door. He thought of the long black sheath sword and the long bow for no reason.

"My brother told me. His name is Liu Wuyue. He went to an unknown small college. He taught me a lot. Without him, I may not have survived, let alone come here." Tang Ke Dingding.

He looked at his worn cloth shoes and said slowly.

Lin Xi nodded and asked, "Where are you from, a border soldier?"

"Biluo Border Army, guarding Jingtian Lake in the eastern suburbs."

"With your age, how did you get there?" Lin Xi looked at Tang Ke and said gently: "Of course, if you don't want to answer my question, it doesn't matter."

Tang Ke shook his head slightly: "There is nothing that can't be said. There are some military personnel in every border town. My father is a 'food preparation' who specializes in marching rations, and my mother is a 'ready-made garment' who specializes in repairing armor. They are all dead.

During a night attack by rogue bandits, I naturally became a member of the Biluo Border Army."

Lin Xi looked at Tang Ke quietly for a moment, and suddenly said seriously: "It must be very difficult for you to be recommended by the border army to take the entrance examination of Qingluan College."

This sentence was very abrupt, but the two teenagers sitting on the ground with their knees next to each other seemed to be able to feel each other's thoughts and emotions. Tang Ke also nodded seriously, looking at himself with a somewhat hollow look in his eyes.

The door of the room said: "There were two times when I was the only one left in our team... The first time I was hit by an arrow and fell into coma, and the second time I relied on my brother. He was supposed to survive, but in the end it was me.

Survived. Our Biluo border army has a saying that surviving alone once is nothing, but surviving alone twice in a row means that life is too hard and it is the god of plague. If others join me, it will be easy to die, so they used the Eastern Suburbs.

The recommendation quota sent me out."

"No wonder you must keep his sword and bow and arrow." Lin Xi couldn't help but patted Tang Ke on the shoulder and stopped talking for a while.

Tang Ke stretched his legs and leaned against the railing of the corridor. He found that sitting on the ground with Lin Xi on the corridor, he felt more relaxed than ever before. It seemed that Lin Xi had an invisible quiet magic power that could

It made people take off the things that were weighing on him for the time being. He turned around and looked at Lin Xi's eyes, which were crystal clear and devoid of any fame or fortune.

"I thought you were chatting with me because you wanted to ask me about my practice." Tang Ke felt something unspeakable in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment before saying.

Lin Xi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry. Since I have entered this academy, the academy will naturally teach me. The things about cultivation in the academy should be more powerful and correct than what you know."

"You are indeed a little special, no wonder you were selected." Tang Ke couldn't help but smile, "Just talking about me, what about you? You really don't even know how you were recommended, so you were sent here.

Already?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Lin Xi said nonsense naturally, and said with some distress: "I was staying in Lulin Town well, but one day a man younger than me suddenly came.

The two-year-old girl asked me a lot of questions, and soon a carriage came, carrying out the order of the Governor of Ling, that I must come here to take part in the big exam."

Tang Ke frowned: "Then some big shot must have taken a liking to you, otherwise just a mausoleum governor, even if he has the right to recommend, would recommend his own nephew."

Lin Xi smiled: "Uncle Liu who drove me here told me that little people like us shouldn't waste our heads thinking about things that we can't understand."

Tang Ke also laughed, and the two young men just sat thoughtfully on the ground in the corridor and smiled.

After being quiet for a long time, Lin Xi touched Tang Ke's arm: "Since you are now a student of the college, what are your plans in the future? Are you going to go to the border army and make contributions?"

Tang Ke shook his head seriously: "No, I promised my brother to live a good life. I originally wanted to enter the civil affairs department... because my brother always felt that for the current Yunqin Empire, internal governance is probably worse than the swords of the frontier army.

Arrows are more important. Now that I have entered Zhige, if I can get out of the academy, I will probably choose to start as a town governor."

"What about you? Lin Xi." Tang Ke turned to look at Lin Xi and asked, "What are your plans?"

"I didn't think too much. If I insist on making plans..." Lin Xi frowned and said, "I want to go to the opposite side of the Dengtian Mountains to have a look."
