将军府中，随着清晨而去，宫少白等人顶着越来越炎热的太阳等待着。

    这时，操场上的士兵训练完稍作休息，领队的队长过来查问道：“你们作嘛的？”

    宫少白赶紧抱拳作样道：“启禀大人，小的们马场受令给将军府送马的！”

    那领队是个中年人，络腮胡，看样子在军队中已经有过多年阅历，打量到这一群牵马的士兵，并无其它异样，看样确实是马场送马来的。

    “马场的马？”那队长不屑地道：“那只适合用来拉马车，薛家军所用的，都是大息王朝最好的战马！”

    “这马，其实不错的！”宫少白抚抚马背，这是他们从外面掠回的关外大马，看样子微比大息王朝的良种马高大一些，不仔细看分辨不出来，但是从耐力跟爆发力上来说，都胜过大息王朝的马种。

    那队长哈哈大笑道：“小兵蛋，我在马背上的时间，比你睡觉的时间还多，你们马场这些马，中看不中用，就跟你们这些新兵蛋子一样，穿得衣亮光鲜，一上场就尿裤子！”

    “启禀大人，我们杀场无数，从没尿过裤子！”宫少白有他们自己的自尊，他加重着声音道。

    那队长顿时打住笑声，发现这些士兵有一股倔脾气。

    “好，看起来你们很不服气的样子，那这样，你，过来跟我们练练，让你看看什么才叫士兵！”那队长打算是挫挫这帮新兵蛋子的锐气。

    “是，大人！”宫少白骨子里一股不服输的劲就上来。

    那队长随手指派到一个方才训练的属下道：“你。过来，陪他练练手。给这些新兵蛋子一点深刻回忆！”

    “是！”一个士兵受命已然出列。

    阳光照得操场一片亮白，旁边操场上训练的薛家军也跟过来看热闹，这也算是当兵无聊日子一种打发消遣。

    那受令的士兵已经在磨拳擦掌，与宫少白一齐来到操场上，两人对视着环绕转圈，气氛顿时带动起来。

    “将军，将军，别打了！”

    旁边的兵士在焦急地劝说着狠捶木桩的齐少锦将军。手已经捶出血迹。

    嘭，最后一拳捶在木桩上，齐少锦喘着气，仿佛一点都感觉不到手上的疼痛。

    “将军，擦些药吧！”

    齐少锦搁开手下递来的膏药，坐到操场边的椅子上。

    “那些个人在干什么？”

    齐少锦一指向那操场围观的一群人，属下兵士作揖回道：“启禀将军。好像是鲁队长在教训一下新蛋兵子！”

    “又是这个家伙，一天都不安稳！”

    这时，从那边围观的人群中暴出一阵喝彩，像是得到什么胜利。

    操场之上，摔倒在地上宫少白狠狠地攥着泥土，满心的不服气。那出列的士兵扬扬洒洒的绕围一圈。薛家军确实是每一个士兵都是精拔细选士兵，战斗力非同小可。

    旁边的士兵见到根本没什么挑战性，不由嘘声阵阵，这些新蛋兵子三下两下就给打趴了，一点成就感都没有。

    那鲁队长来到宫少白面前。笑笑道：“怎么样，这回算是开到眼界了吧。不要在外面见过一点世面，就自以为是，每每在战场上丢命的，就是你们这种新兵蛋子！”

    宫少白爬起来，作揖垂头道：“大人教训得是！”

    “你面对的是薛家军，大息王朝最为精锐的队伍，有机会输也是你的荣幸！”鲁队长拍拍宫少白的肩膀道。

    这时一个军部后勤管事拔开人群道：“怎么回事，怎么回事？”

    “没啥事，跟送马的士兵练练手儿！”鲁队长回道。

    “我说你们送个马磨蹭个什么劲啊，让我在后府等半天！”后勤管事朝着宫少白等人嚷声道。

    宫少白等人作揖低声道：“队长不在，我们不知道往哪送，让您久等了！”

    “那还不给我赶紧的，后府还等着马来拉车呢！”

    话说着，后勤管事怒冲冲给顺脚给旁边的马一踢，却不想，这些关外的大马性烈，嘶叫一声扬蹄而起，失控地冲出去。操场上人很多，众多士兵慌乱逃散，随即有伤人的危险。

    情况危急，宫少白情急之中，顺手搭起武器架上的长弓，朝着狂奔中的马匹嗖地一箭，贯穿马后腿，又一箭贯穿前腿，顿时马即刻减速下来。

    顿时整个操场一片沉寂，众多士兵木头一样望着这一手，一匹奔跑中的马，想要射中后腿谈何容易，而前腿更小。

    就连齐少锦也不由得站起来，他在不远处所见这一切，确实是惊人天人，一箭出，技惊全场。

    阳光下宫少白持弓的姿势帅气禀然，他缓缓地垂下持弓手臂，只吐出两个字：“好弓！”

    鲁队长颤抖着嘴唇望着那停稳下来的战马，两只箭矢不偏不倚的正好射在马腿之上，这简直是神乎奇迹的箭法。

    宫少白作揖道：“抱歉，让大人受惊了，受伤的马匹我们会牵回去重新换一匹！”

    鲁队长咽咽口水，愕然地打量着眼前的年轻人，这一手简直可以震绝天下。

    或许，这只是偶然，因为这绝不可能，这些人只是一群养马的，他无法接受让一群养马的骑在头上。

    “你们去请牧将军来！”那鲁队长对身旁士兵喊道。

    后勤管事小心翼翼地道：“鲁队长，后，后府还需要马匹拉车呢！”

    “拉个屁，让他给我等着！”

    将军府说小不小，说大不大，请人倒是很快，很快居住在府上的牧将军骑马而来。

    “鲁韦，你小子又在闹什么事？”见这牧将军长须齐胸。脸色红润带着一些儒雅之气，不像鲁韦纯粹长得五大三粗的模样。

    “被人。踩场子……”鲁韦作揖回禀，词简意骇，有意无意地避过牧将军的眼光。

    “有人踩你鲁韦的场子，有意思，是谁敢摸你鲁韦的老虎屁股？”

    鲁韦瞟瞟旁边示意了一下，牧将军顺着他的眼光望向旁边的年轻人，却见是一个其貌不扬的年轻人，便道：“眼下何人。报上名来！”

    “属下宫少白，饲马司一级士兵！”

    “饲马司一级士兵踢鲁韦的场子，我只想对你说———干得不错！”
