Chapter 18: The Game Begins
"Oh, yes, it scared the hell out of me. ”
Zhang Shun breathed a long sigh of relief, and while packing the package, he said softly: "If you want to talk about the origin of this Baixi, I really know a little bit, but I'm not very sure." It is said that many years ago, we had a war with the Northern Yan Kingdom, and that time, under the leadership of Marshal Huang, that is, General Huang's father, we directly fought three hundred miles into the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom. It was in this battle that a great general of the Northern Yan Kingdom was beheaded by General Huang's design, and his mount Baixi, General Huang couldn't bear to kill, and it took a long time for the beast to identify with General Huang. Since then, Huang Wanli, the general of Baixi, has become invincible and invincible, and has become a nightmare for the Northern Yan Kingdom. However, there is one thing that is strange. ”
"Hearing you say this, it turns out that General Huang also robbed it, and this place of origin is very likely to be in the Northern Yan Kingdom. What's so strange about you saying it's strange?" said Sheng Gray laughed.
"Childe, do you know, Baixi General Huang Wanli, since that war, the world's fame, this Baixi General's title, is the Queen of Heaven His Majesty personally canonized, at that time, although I have not yet joined the army, but I have also heard of the name of General Baixi, it stands to reason that he has already been able to lead the Qianfu Legion of more than 10,000 people, but so far, it is only a 500-person regiment. ”
Sheng Shen was silent, he didn't understand what Zhang Shun said at all, he didn't know what Zhang Shun was talking about, but he could roughly hear it, Zhang Shun felt pity and puzzlement for Huang Wanli.
"Let's go, Childe, the time is coming, and I can't let Lord Lou wait for a long time. Zhang Shun said, opened the door first and walked out.
Sheng Shen was about to follow out, when he suddenly thought of something, turned around, pinned the oiled paper wrapped in a large pile of sweet silk cakes around his waist, and covered it tightly with the armor leaves on top of the two armors.
The two went out, and when they passed the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Shun stuffed the package in his hand to Liu Qiang, who was guarding the door, this is a brother who has been with him for some years, and he is also the vice captain of his team.
Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand how this package got into the hands of that son.
When Sheng Ash came out, Liu Qiang looked at Sheng Ash and said softly: "Boss, do you do it according to the pre-arrangement?"
Sheng Shen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this person took him for Zhang Shun.
He glanced up at Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun nodded vaguely, and Sheng Shen also nodded.
Liu Qiang immediately said, "Yes." ”
After that, he turned around and went to the courtyard to greet the other brothers, and Sheng Shen took the opportunity to hurry up with Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun said in a low voice: "Childe, in the past few days since then, you are me, and I am you." For me, Lord Lou has other arrangements, I will go here, after you leave the post station, you will see the person just now, his name is Liu Qiang, you are in front of him, someone will tell him about the matter between you and me, my team is also under his control these days, he will not ask you anything, and you try not to speak. ”
Sheng Shen nodded, suddenly grabbed Zhang Shun, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, is this a game?"
Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment and said, "Childe, if you want to, it's okay to treat it as a game." However, I didn't ask why, if you want to know, it's good to ask Lord Lou in the future. ”
Sheng Shen smiled and nodded vigorously, it turned out to be a game, he didn't know anything else, if you want to play games, he is the best at it.
Zhang Shun said, turned a corner and disappeared.
Sheng Shen carefully straightened his clothes and armor, and did a show, of course he had to do a full set.
He walked towards the door of the post station according to what Zhang Shun said, at this time, he was wearing armor, carrying an autumn knife at his waist, and carrying a round shield on his back, with a pattern that looked like a river flowing, exactly like the pattern on the cloak behind Chen Yanwu.
As soon as he got out of the post station, Sheng Shen bumped into Lou Yanxin, who was already riding on the mastiff, covered in armor and ready to go.
Lou Yanxin shouted: "Zhang Shun, what are you still rubbing, look at when this is." Why don't you join the team in a hurry, do you have to wait for General Huang to urge you personally?"
Sheng Shen glanced at her, and said with a smile in his heart, this woman is more like him, originally he wanted to ask her, which one is this playing, but now it seems that it is not a good time, he can't act, he is the first to goof.
But now Sheng Shen felt more and more interesting, at this time he saw Lou Yanxin give him a look, he looked over and found that there was already a small group of soldiers from the Qianfu Legion waiting in line, led by Liu Qiang.
Sheng Shen trotted all the way into the column, there was a position in front of Liu Qiang, which was reserved for him at first glance, when he entered the column, Liu Qiang really didn't look at him, heh, this big brother acted well.
Although Sheng Gray is standing, but his eyes are very dishonest, before joining the team, he swept the entire team from front to end, and now he is also looking left and right everywhere.
The team he was on was in the middle of the team.
The formation of the entire convoy has also changed a lot compared to before, and the road ahead is a silver-armored knight riding a six-legged earth dragon, and because he is wearing a covered armor, Sheng Shen does not know who it is.
Behind was a team of fifty people, lined up in five columns and ten rows, and then there was a carriage, and it was not clear who was sitting in it.
After that, there was a team of fifty people, and then in the center was the general Huang Wanli who rode Baixi.
And then there was a team of fifty people, and then there was a carriage, this one Sheng Shen recognized it, this was the carriage of the third princess Qiushu, presumably the little girl of the Xuanyu Lord was also in it.
The corners of Sheng Gray's mouth showed a slight smile, the team he was in was not far behind this carriage, and Lou Yanxin was constantly wandering back and forth.
After that, there was a hundred-man caravan, followed by three carriages in a row, and these three carriages were exactly the same as the first one from the device to the horses pulling the cart in front, and even the horses pulling the cart were almost the same, and it was not clear who was sitting in them.
Then there were some more chaotic formations, with a large number of wagons carrying grain and grass mixed in with the procession.
And at the back of the whole procession, far away, was a huge figure behind the broken back, and the man Sheng Shen didn't know what it was called, only that it was the other of the two people riding the six-legged earth dragon.
The ten men who had been in the convoy earlier were gone.
Soon, with Huang Wanli's order, the whole team began to move forward slowly, and then they trotted all the way, faster and faster.
The Qiushui Kingdom is close to the border with the Southern Zhou Kingdom, and it is mountainous, mostly plateaus, hilly areas, and on the earth, there are mostly wind-blown rocks, or a small section of desert, and there are few leafy forests to be seen, let alone inhabited villages.
This road, which can't be seen as a road at all, is also called the South Silk Ancient Road by merchants who go south and north.
The convoy is in this environment all the way forward, two days later, Sheng Shen found that during this period, people kept coming back, reporting to Huang Wanli about the things around him, he happened to hear someone in Zhang Shun's team say that those people are scouts, what needs to be done is to find out the situation within a radius of a few miles, if there is an abnormal situation, it is necessary to return as quickly as possible.
In the past two days, Sheng Shen fell in love with a kind of "game" again, and he found that Huang Wanli's role in this game was the most majestic, more powerful than the princess, the woman riding a big black wolf, and the two silver-armored knights riding a six-legged earth dragon.
Therefore, he observed Huang Wanli most carefully, and he also thought in his heart whether one day, he could also command so many people, although he still didn't know what he was going to do with commanding so many people, but he had a guess in his heart, maybe he wanted to fight, or he just wanted to grab something, otherwise, what did he want so many people to do?
In addition, he was also extremely interested in Huang Wanli's arrangements at night, and he also had a lot of puzzles in his heart, such as why he arranged so many people to change his guard, obviously there was no one else around except them, and what were the rules for changing guards, and for example, the arrangement of this tent, it seemed that there was a lot of mystery.
And there is another point, which Sheng Shen wants to imitate but how to get the true meaning, that is, when Huang Wanli issues orders, or when he is angry and other mood swings are more severe, he always likes to pinch his waist with his right hand, and his fingers unconsciously rotate rapidly around his waist, Sheng Shen feels that this action is simply not too handsome, but he secretly imitated it several times, and he felt that it was not like that.
It's a pity that I haven't seen the little girl of the Jade Lord again, otherwise, you can ask.
Tonight should not be his team on duty, after dinner, before entering the tent to rest, he glanced at a corner of the camp, although Huang Wanli arranged it very secretly, but he still found out, there is the place where the third princess Qiushu rests, about the Lord Xuanyu is not there, but also near there, these days he has been holding back a stomach of questions, but he can't find anyone to ask.
If Lou Yanxin knew that Sheng Shen was only slightly biased towards the tent of the third princess intentionally or unintentionally during her night patrol in the past two days, she would have accurately deduced the location of Qiu Shu, and she didn't know how she would feel.
Qiushu's tent is no different from the rest of the military tents from the outside, even the layout inside is the same, Huang Wanli originally had other arrangements for this, at least it was much more comfortable than this, but Qiushu directly rejected Huang Wanli on the grounds that everything was simple during the march.
In this tent tonight, Qiu Shu sat on a thick military blanket on the ground, holding several pieces of bamboo paper with handwriting in his hands.
