Chapter 145: What a fool's errand
On the platform, the high priest was praying to the gods, hoping that the gods would bless the Fire Phoenix Kingdom with a great victory. The lord of the country www.biquge.info looked at the neat and imposing 800 cavalry and 3,000 infantry below, and in front of him were ten lieutenant generals, all riding tall horses, wearing armor robes and bronze helmets, and at first glance they were battle-hardened veterans. In front of them were the Chinese army guards Ming Zhao and Xiao Wu, and the two of them were also dressed in military uniforms, and they were more imposing than usual.
Feng Shanyue walked up to the platform, knelt in front of the bronze tripod that was burning with flames, and prayed with the high priest. After a while, the high priest opened his eyes, picked up the wine offered in front of the bronze tripod, dipped it lightly with his hand, and sprinkled it on the head of Fengshan Yue, to show the protection of the gods. The rest was poured into the fire, and the flames rose high at once.
"The auspicious time has come, and the army is on its way!" cried the high priest.
The lord of the country walked over and looked at Feng Shanyue, who was heavily armed, with all kinds of reluctance and worry in his eyes, "You...... Be careful, don't get hurt!"
Feng Shanyue's eyes were hot, on such an occasion, the lord of the country said such a thing, completely out of a father's heart of worrying about his daughter.
"Your Majesty, the last general will definitely live up to his trust, and he will definitely fight Quchi Country back, so that they don't dare to covet my Fire Phoenix Country anymore!" Feng Shanyue said sonorously, the lord of the country was very pleased, but he was also even more worried.
"I believe in you!
Feng Shanyue nodded, turned around and got off the platform, turned over and climbed up the first snow brought by Nie Panshi, raised the horsewhip, and shouted: "Go!"
The army walked towards the east gate at a neat pace, and the lord of the country looked at the back of Feng Shanyue riding on a horse, and his heart was sour. The high priest whispered: "Your Majesty, Feng Jiu will be fine, don't worry!"
"Hmm!" said the high priest, and the lord's heart finally calmed down.
Yu Shuai and Yu Heng stood under the general's stage, watching the army go farther and farther.
"During yesterday's exercise, you helped him steal Feng Jiu's clothes, right?" Yu Shuai asked casually. His clothes were obviously placed at home, but they were worn on Feng Jiu's body, which could only show that he was a thief.
Yu Heng replied absentmindedly and casually: "Yes, there is no way, the princess speaks, I can't refuse, right?"
Yu Shuai turned his head suddenly, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"Huh? no...... Nothing interesting. Being glared at by Yu Shuai, Yu Heng felt that his heart was beating less. He patted his mouth hard, why couldn't he hold on?
Yu Shuai frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be ...... Wouldn't it!" He turned his head to look at the lord of the country in shock, the lord of the country wouldn't be so nonsense, would he let a woman be the general of Zhendong?
Yu Heng shrank and prepared to escape, but his father grabbed the back collar, "Don't want to leave if you don't explain clearly!"
Yu Heng hesitated for a long time, and finally had to tell the story that Feng Jiu was Princess Yashi.
Yu Shuai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "How can you be so nonsense? How can you let her be a general?" I was so stupid that I didn't even see it, and I put the lives of thousands of soldiers in her hands. ”
Yu Heng rubbed the back of his neck that was severely beaten by his father, "Dad, in fact, before you knew that she was a woman, didn't you also appreciate her ability? As long as her identity as a woman is not revealed, what does it matter if she is a man or a woman?"
Yu Shuai couldn't wait to beat him up on the spot, but the most important thing at the moment was not this, "I want to immediately ask the lord of the country to recover the princess and let me go to the battlefield!"
"Hey...... Dad!" Yu Heng hurriedly stopped his father, "Doesn't the lord of the country know her true identity? He knows, and he sent her to the battlefield, what's the use of you talking about it now?"
Yu Shuai thought about it calmly, and felt that Yu Heng was right, it seems that the lord of the country is indeed very partial to this princess, and if he rashly debunks it, the lord of the country will not follow his advice.
"I'm going to send someone to deliver a letter to your brother at once, tell him to be careful!"
Half an hour later, a fast horse left Phoenix City and rushed to the frontier camp.
Let's say that Feng Shanyue walked for a day, and finally arrived at the place where he was camped. After not riding a horse for a long time, and suddenly riding for a day, Feng Shanyue felt that her two thighs were not her own, and the skin and flesh on her legs were still grinding by the saddle, so as soon as she arrived at the camp, she immediately got into the camp tent and massaged her legs vigorously.
Butterfly Dance is not much better, Ming Zhao is okay, he goes out with Wen Feichen on weekdays, and most of the time he rides a horse, he is used to it.
"General!" Ming Zhao shouted outside the tent, Feng Shanyue and Diewu hurriedly stopped rubbing their thighs, which made a man see it, it was really indecent.
"Please come in!"
Ming Zhao lifted the curtain and saw Feng Shanyue's tired face, and he was a little distressed.
"Come, this is an ointment to soothe the muscles and bones, you rarely ride a horse, and suddenly you ride a horse for a day, your legs must be very painful, rub it with this medicine, and it will be fine soon." ”
"Really?" Feng Shanyue took the small jar from his hand in surprise, and saw that it was a milky white paste, which smelled quite fragrant, "Senior brother, how can you have such an ointment?
"I'm used to it, and it doesn't hurt anymore. This is for you!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Butterfly Dance whispered beside her: "General, now you can't call him Senior Brother, it will expose the identity of Ming Gongzi." ”
"That's right, then call you Vice Admiral Ming, right?"
Ming Zhao nodded, motioned for her to quickly wipe the medicine, and then withdrew from the camp tent and stood straight outside, helping the two women inside to look out for the wind.
Diewu muttered while helping Feng Shanyue rub the medicine: "This Ming Gongzi is really good to the princess, he is gentle, careful in his work, and knows how to help the princess bring ointment, what a good man!"
Feng Shanyue glanced at her, "There are many words, come, I'll help you rub the medicine!"
Ming Zhao outside the tent is a person who practices martial arts, so he naturally listens to Butterfly Dance's words in his ears, he is a little nervous and waits for Feng Shanyue's answer, but who knows that Feng Shanyue didn't say anything, but it made him a little happy and a little worried. Happily, Feng Shanyue did not directly deny Butterfly Dance's words, and the sad thing is that she has never expressed her affection. He couldn't figure out what the hell was going on with this little woman, who was years younger than him, was thinking.
"Am I not being enthusiastic enough?"
"What enthusiasm?" Feng Shanyue happened to come out, and when she heard the second half of the sentence, she asked casually.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. I mean...... The generals don't seem to be very enthusiastic about you. Ming Zhao pointed with his chin at the ten generals who were talking and laughing around a bonfire.
"That can't be helped, my men are defeated!"
These ten generals lost to Feng Shanyue, although they were scolded by Yu Shuai, but they were still a little unconvinced, because Feng Shanyue did not defeat them with real swords. In the minds of military generals, this kind of stratagem is called deception. Therefore, when they faced Fengshan Yue, they were naturally not enthusiastic.
"Let's go, let's talk to them!" Feng Shanyue smiled and walked towards the generals with Ming Zhao and Xiao Wu.
