The 200,000 troops of the imperial court have been assembled in the west of the soul capital, and on the vast flat land, the battalion commander of the army stretches for dozens of miles, and there is no edge in sight.

Xiao Zhang used the stealth method to slowly patrol in the middle of the military tent, it was almost evening at this moment, the army drill had ended, smoke curled everywhere, and it was dinner time later.

Although they had been training all day, the soldiers were still energetic, not tired, and they were talking and laughing, obviously full of confidence in the upcoming westward expedition.

Indeed, the current emperor is a once-in-a-lifetime emperor, and under his rule, the Yan Empire is strong and prosperous, and its military strength has reached unprecedented heights, so of course the soldiers will be extremely confident.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Zhang was also very pleased, and walked to Lan Xiang's military tent, but he hesitated to go in, because he came so abruptly, worried that it would not cause Lan Xiang's disgust.

However, at this time, I only heard Lan Xiang's voice from the military tent: "Come in." ”

The voice was still cold, but Xiao Zhang's heart was warm, and he withdrew his stealth method and walked into the military tent.

The space in the military tent is very large, but the furnishings are extremely simple, only a table and a couch, on which are placed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a map of the Extreme West Demon Road.

In addition, there was nothing in this large space, and Xiao Zhang didn't even have a place to sit, so he had to stand and jokingly said: "General Lan Xiang is really a breeze on his sleeves." ”

Today's Lan Xiang has long since faded from the usual white clothes, but has changed into a sturdy battle armor, which is really a bit heroic and majestic.

Lan Xiang didn't answer, didn't even raise her head, just lowered her head and studied the map intently.

Xiao Zhang walked closer, squatted down and carefully admired the still beautiful Lan Xiang, and said: "Hua Mulan is in the army for her father, but Xiang'er is in the army for your husband, wonderful, wonderful." ”

Lan Xiang still didn't answer Xiao Zhang's words, and said, "I have already summoned the five backbones of the army to come to the meeting, and we will be there later." You can sit in if you want to, but it's best not to let them see you. ”

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "This is natural, I can just observe them and help them meet each other." ”

At this time, there was a sound of armor and footsteps outside the tent, it should be that the five backbones were coming, Xiao Zhang immediately cast the stealth method and stood in the corner behind Lan Xiang.

The curtain was lifted, and five people rushed in and stood in front of Lan Xiang.

The five people are:

Liang Shanwen, a military advisor, was Lan Xiang's early enlightenment teacher, and now he has long since retired to the countryside, and he was invited by Lan Xiang to be a military advisor this time. This man was erudite and resourceful, but for many years he refused to serve the imperial court. Lan Xiang personally visited three times before he finally agreed to go out of the mountain.

The other four people are four generals, Yang Jiye, Qin Dayong, Guan Feichang, and Lu Hanxin, these four people were personally selected by Lan Xiang, and they are all fierce generals cultivated by the emperor himself.

As for the few fierce generals recommended by the chief general Yan Guang, Lan Xiang didn't ask for any of them, because she also more or less knew that Yan Guang was ambitious and unreliable.

This meeting of the backbone of the army is nothing more than a report on the basic situation of the army, and Lan Xiang's purpose is also to let Xiao Zhang understand, and there is no discussion of any strategic and tactical issues.

In just a quarter of an hour, the meeting ended, and the five backbone members went out of the military tent to dinner.

Lan Xiang asked the guards to call two military meals, naturally preparing one for Xiao Zhang, but when Xiao Zhang saw the dinner in front of him, he was surprised.

I saw that there were two nests and a vegetable bowl in the simple dinner plate, and there was only some vegetable soup in the vegetable bowl and a few vegetable leaves floating in it.

"This, this is the food of the imperial army?" Xiao Zhang was a little incoherent.

Lan Xiang ignored Xiao Zhang, picked up the nest head, picked up the vegetable bowl and ate it, the gobbling up look completely subverted her usual goddess fan.

"Can you eat this?" Xiao Zhang was stunned, "I saw just now that the big pot of cooking outside is full of large pieces of pork, and the basket next to it is full of snow-white steamed buns!"

In the blink of an eye, Lan Xiang finished her own military meal, and then asked, "Do you want to eat it?" If you don't eat it, I'll eat it for you, saving waste." ”

"Alas, well, I'll eat, I'll eat. Xiao Zhang felt that eating such a meal was simply a masochistic act, and in order to make Xiang'er suffer less, he decided to eat it.

Pinching his nose almost the whole time, Xiao Zhang finally ate the two hard nests, as for the bowl of vegetable soup, it tasted good, not even a piece of meat, only a vegetable leaf.

To be honest, although Xiao Zhang was mixed with society in his previous life, he also ate and drank spicy food, and after coming to this world, he was even more smooth, and he became a veritable local tyrant along the way. How could he have suffered like this? That is, to give Lan Xiang a face, otherwise he would immediately take it out and feed the pigs.

"I want to hear your explanation. After eating, Xiao Zhang squatted the bowl on the table.

Lan Xiang got up, stretched, and then said, "It's better to save the best food for the soldiers who are about to fight." ”

Xiao Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "The army is definitely not bad for your food, and if it spreads, my husband and I will probably be laughed to death, as if I can't afford to support you." ”

Lan Xiang sighed lightly, walked to Xiao Zhang's side, and held Xiao Zhang's hand, and the warmth of the familiar Samadhi True Fire suddenly spread throughout her body, making her snort softly.

"This is a kind of practice for me as a protégé of the thatched cottage. Lan Xiang said softly, "Don't make a big fuss, it's my fault today, I shouldn't let you suffer with me." ”

Lan Xiang's warmth made Xiao Zhang's heart melt suddenly, he gently hugged her, soft and fragrant, but it was cold and piercing, and he ran the samadhi true fire in his body, warming her.

"Well, I can endure hardships too. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

A blush appeared on Lan Xiang's beautiful face, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "The five backbones just now were all personally selected by me, how do you feel?"

Xiao Zhang said: "I also used a big late bloomer just now to observe the mood fluctuations of five people, and I didn't find much abnormality, but this is just a calm time, and you can really observe it when you encounter things." ”

Lan Xiang asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Xiao Zhang said: "The extreme west and the Central Plains are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and the imperial army will soon be mobilized, so after I have seen you, I will set off for the extreme west tonight." ”

Lan Xiang nodded and said, "Your task is arduous, you have to do everything possible to pave the way for the imperial army, the situation in the extreme west is difficult, you can do it yourself." ”

Xiao Zhang smiled: "I have overcome so many hardships, what is the Demon Dao?" Actually, I am not only here to see you today, but also to ...... Hey hey ......"

As he spoke, Xiao Zhang took Lan Xiang's hand, and then got into the space of the Qiankun bag, which would be their two-person world.
