Chapter 72: Stealthily Strategizing
Tie Chuang took the prince's assignment as an order, and executed it extremely seriously, without any pity for the jade. Xiao Jiu is very satisfied with this kind of teaching behavior, and he is very energetic in learning.
When both of them were exhausted, they remembered that they had not eaten two meals and were hungry and sleeping, so they stopped practicing. When I walked into the camp, I saw that it was still millet soup and dried buns.
Xiao Jiu sighed in his heart, and grabbed and bit helplessly. Tie Chuang looked at it and smiled: "Is Ling Gongzi not used to this diet when he stays in the palace?" ”
"Yes, this Northern Emperor is too stingy, the soldiers eat this when they go out on the battlefield, and they are hungry and have no strength when they go to the battlefield."
Tie Chuang didn't expect her to be so bold, and almost covered her mouth: "Ling Gongzi didn't dare to say anything, he ate these things for a few days before the army, first, it was hot in summer, and the distance was tight, for fear that the fat would get wet and he would be prone to illness." Second, millet nourishes the stomach and moistens the intestines, and it is convenient to travel. Bear with it, and tomorrow the jerky will come down. “
Xiao Jiu was dying and bit the hard bun and said: "It turns out that there are so many exquisite, and I don't want to eat any more dry buns, so I clapped my hands and said: "Thank you Brother Chuang today, it's getting late, you should rest early." “
Breaking into the crowd didn't know where to go, and reached out to stop her. "The doctor's tent is not on the other side, it's wrong!" ”
Xiao Jiu's face turned red, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while. After thinking about it, he thought about it and said: "The nobles in the palace intercede, and I stayed in the same tent with General Zihuai, so that the prince could summon me." ”
Chuang Zi sighed. "Then go quickly, the prince has exempted me from the task in the past few days, as long as I teach you wholeheartedly, we will see you by the stream tomorrow."
Xiao Jiu was weak and praised again and again, and sneaked into the big tent like a thief. I found a corner and sat down, and then patted my chest and said, "That little brother's eyes are really clear, I am embarrassed to lie when he asks me like that." ”
Chu Yinghan obviously waited for her for a long time, put down the book in his hand and said, "Oh? What does he ask you? ”
"It's okay to ask me. Why are you still resting? ”
Chu Yinghan didn't think about it. "Waiting for you, it's a little sleepy. Didn't eat dinner, right? I specially roasted lamb shank meat for you. ”
Xiao Jiuyuan's eyes widened. "You're really favoritism."
"Is that not eating?"
"Eat, eat, eat, I'm almost fainting from hunger. But the march is really exquisite. If I don't say it, I'm going to doubt my life. ”
Chu Yinghan was stunned, she mentioned earlier that it should be in the way that she is a woman, and it is inconvenient to ask for a wheel. Shook his head helplessly, that's fine, Tie Chuang at least said it bluntly.
Xiao Jiu picked up the leg of mutton and couldn't help but hiss. Open your hand to see that the whip has been practiced too much, and the whole tiger's mouth is torn, so I didn't feel it, and I couldn't lift my hand when I saw it at the moment.
Chu Yinghan's eyes floated by. Gazing at the eyebrows, he found the medicinal powder and bandaged her gently, "Didn't you say it, don't be in a hurry, why don't you listen?" ”
Xiao Jiu stuck out his tongue. "When I thought that one day I would be as majestic as a hero, I forgot to restrain myself. I've been able to make waves today. ”
Chu Yinghan was reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that she should be like this. Looking back on that night in Taoyuan, it is still shocking. If she can master this method, she will be able to defend herself in the future. Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but say: "I don't know how you survived before, you've been to so many places, and you don't have martial arts." ”
Xiao Jiu also smiled after hearing this: "I have always been lucky, and I can always turn danger into a disaster." As he spoke, he thought of something, and took out seven or eight pills the size of longan in his arms.
"It's not that I don't have a weapon for self-defense, oh, this is called Mengyou Dan, if I am thrown to the ground when I am besieged, people without an antidote will fall into a fantasy realm, and I can escape, and there is a life pill to kill people in Jiangdu, and I see blood to seal my throat, which is very powerful."
Chu Yinghan put his mind at ease. "That's fine."
Xiao Jiuyi stretched out his hand: "This is for you, and I have prepared a lot." I also prepared a lot of medicinal herbs, all of which I brought with me, and I wanted you to give them to you before you went out of the city, but I almost didn't keep up. ”
Chu Yinghan's eyes moved slightly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth. Wrap your way around her and kiss her forehead. Xiao Jiu's heart was pounding with fright, but he didn't do anything, he turned around and left.
"After eating, go to sleep."
"And where do you sleep?"
Chu Yinghan rarely showed an evil smile. "Naturally, together!" Xiao Jiu was startled, hung his head and was speechless for a while. After doing enough mental struggle, he smiled again. "I'll just deal with it in front. Don't worry, if I don't marry you back, I won't ruin your reputation, Xiao Jiu, I regard you as a treasure. “
Xiao Jiu was rarely silent, but his heart seemed to be as sweet as honey. Put on a blanket full of his breath and sleep peacefully.
After another day in the woods, the army set out in the night. It was only after walking to Qianyang Pass that he set up camp and repaired. Closer to Yan Suogou, the food naturally improved.
Eat well, and Chuangzi is even more energetic. not only let Xiao Jiu practice whipping, but also let her tie a sandbag to her arm to practice arm strength. It's only a few days of hard work, and the whip has made it very easy to retract and release freely, and the momentum of the void is there.
The spies sent back messages faster than predicted. There is indeed a dark river passage in the mountains, but there is a torrent waterfall in front of it, and the water in the cave is too fast, if it is a blow, the soldiers waiting in front are bound to be stuck in the torrent for a long time, which is not a clever plan.
When discussing the news, Xiao Jiu happened to be present, this is the case in the general dark river, and some have stalactite groups, the situation will not be very good, if it is really necessary for the whole army to go together, it is indeed difficult.
Zhao Ru has always been reckless, and said directly: "It's better to dig the mountain!" ”
Chu Yinghan didn't even raise his eyes: "Although there is a torrent waterfall, it can't cover the movement of the mountain." ”
"How's that good?"
There was silence in the big tent for a while, and several people stared at the drawings in contemplation. Half loud, Chu Yinghan waved his hand. "As usual, I'll talk about it when we get there."
Although Zhao Ru was impulsive, his ears were soft, but he also trusted him very much, and without saying a word, he hugged his fists and went to reorganize the team. Zihuai was slightly worried. "On weekdays, you can fight hard, but now the terrain is unfavorable, and there is no chance of winning, is it too reckless?"
"Well, this king has never lost a battle! You go and find a thousand soldiers who are familiar with the water, and divide them into three regiments. Listen and dispatch! ”
Zihuai looked at Xiao Jiu hesitantly, and asked her to stop it, but Xiao Jiu was unwilling, even if he was worried in his heart, he was still willing to support him.
He spread his hands and said: "Set off immediately, I will be angry if I can't punish me deliberately, I have to finish the two hundred whips." When I left, I followed the miscellaneous regiment, behind the troops, unobtrusive, and relatively safe. After speaking, he naughtily arched his hand towards Chu Yinghan: "Dare to ask Lord Ying, Xiao's plan is correct." “
Chu Yinghan's gloomy face eased slightly. "Well, it's hard to be smart!"
Xiao Jiu smiled and hurriedly retired. When leaving, he deliberately pulled the sleeve of Zihuai's shirt. Zihuai understood, glanced at Chu Yinghan hesitantly, and also retired.
The two knew each other, and came to the stream one after the other. Zihuai couldn't help but ask: "He listens to you the most at the moment, why don't you say a word, you want to see everyone die, see him fail?" ”
Xiao Jiu smiled faintly: "I think you know him better than I do." He has his pride, and he won't waste everyone's lives in vain, I want to believe in him. ”
Zihuai didn't sneer at it. "The bargaining chip you trust him is the lives of everyone and the safety of the people of Beichi."
They have grown up on their own, and even if they do have a tongue, they will not be like this in front of her again. Xiao Jiu naturally understood in his heart, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, solemnly bowed down to him.
He was startled and retreated. "Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do here?" I thought of stepping forward to help him.
Xiao Jiu is not as uninhibited as usual, his eyes are full of pleading and serious. He clasped his hands into fists and arched: "Brother Zihuai, I know that this matter started from me, if you blame me, I will admit it." ”
Zihuai was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to help her directly, holding the hilt of the sword on his waist and turning back and forth. "Now that this is the case, what is the point of you worshipping me? It's just that you don't dissuade you, where are you putting me like this at this moment? ”
Xiao Jiu was still motionless. "Brother Zihuai, Xiao Jiu has something to ask you!"
Zihuai came to his senses, and then ignored Xiao Jiu's identity as a woman, and scolded rudely: "Damn, Lao Tzu was put on the table by you again, and I already knew that if you called me out alone, it would be no good thing." ”
Since Xiao Jiu came back as a woman, he has always been cautious and gentle, and he hasn't heard the tone of his first acquaintance for a long time. Xiao Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
Zihuai was even more annoyed and turned his hand. "What are you still doing on your knees?" Get up quickly, and in a moment he will know, and I have no good fruit to eat. “
Xiao Jiu smiled again: "If you don't promise, I won't get up." ”
Zihuai was helpless. "If there's a fart, let it go." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled, stood up and patted the weeds in front of his knees. "This can be regarded as a promise, let me tell you honestly, I have been along the side of the stream for the past few days, and found that there should be a path on the other side, I am afraid that it is the road that the nearby village walks on weekdays, and when you discuss it today, I took a closer look again, thinking that I could get to Yan Suogou."
Zihuai's eyes lit up. "You mean the army can pass through here?" Why didn't you say it? “
Xiao Jiu shook his head. "No, such an obvious path, not to mention that the army is inconvenient to walk, the merchant army must also be guarded, I think they always have something strange, but I can't say it. I want to go and see it alone, and if I am discovered, it can also be said to be a traveling doctor."
"No!" Before he finished speaking, Zihuai interrupted directly, not only interrupted but also strode away, completely unexpectedly that this stupid girl could always come up with such a bold idea, and didn't want to say more to her, lest she be pulled into the mud pit and unable to turn over. ”
Xiao Jiu didn't finish speaking, he was stunned when he interrupted, he had already walked away. Xiao Jiu shouted: "I discussed with you but someone answered, if you ignore it." I also have a way to go! ”
Zihuai had no choice but to stop. If she went secretly, she would have ended up even worse. I was really curious about what the hell was going on over there, so I simply turned around. "Tell me about your plans, and I'll go alone."
"No, you have martial arts, people can easily see it, secondly, the prince is indispensable to you, if you leave, he will soon find out, and then this battle is difficult, everyone knows that losing any of them will be a big mess of the army's heart. You believe me, although my whip is not good, but I also have poison to protect myself, you forget that when we were in Sanlizhang, those men in black suffered a lot from me. ”
