When night fell, the heralds ran back and forth a few times, and the men who had been running for a day began to set up camp.

In fact, they haven't gone far now.

After a ceremony of thanking the emperor, it was already noon.

Although there were less than 100 people, the speed of the march was not fast.

Their main task was not to go to the northwest to fight, but to escort the officials of the imperial court to their posts.

Most of the military generals who had been replaced by the envoys and other military generals rushed directly from their current places, and those who set out from Beijing were inspectors who had been ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the military affairs of the northwest.

Of course, there are also the majority of Liulang Xu Maoxiu, who supplemented the Northwest Army Line, but these majority can be ignored in front of these senior military attachés.

It's not that these high-ranking generals in Beijing can't walk, but there are those who want to go fast, and there are those who want to walk slower.

So pull and pull quickly, slowly, the centaurs only went out of the city for half a day, not far away.

"Fuck, what kind of camp are you going to camp tonight?"

Sitting by the campfire, Xu Bangmallet couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"It's not like I've been running for three days and four nights, so there's nothing to rest about."

"Shut up, be nosy, and do whatever you want." Xu Maoxiu glared at him.

"I'm not in a hurry." Xu Bangmao muttered, and then looked at Fan Jianglin, "Big brother, big brother, you see that you are tired of carrying three bows alone...."

"I'm a little tired, you can carry the bow issued by the army for me." Fan Jianglin said.

Xu Bangmao suddenly pulled his face, and the other brothers laughed at him, and wanted to carry his bow on his back.

"Fourth brother, you help me take a look at my horse." Xu Bangmao shouted again, turning his head and not seeing anyone.

"The fourth brother has already gone to see the horses." A brother said. "He gave Matthew good hooves. Now many people have asked him to repair his hooves..."[Note 1]

I was talking and laughing. Xu Maoxiu stood up, frowned slightly, and looked in the direction he came.

"Someone's coming." He said.

Fan Jianglin immediately grabbed the bow and arrow beside him, and the other brothers also stood up.

At this time, the soldiers who were on guard in front and back also sent a signal.

"It's okay, it's your own people."

The heralds galloped past, comforted the soldiers who had stood up, and headed for the main tent, outside which were already standing a number of generals.

There was no concern on their faces. This is so close to the capital, it is an official road, and it is a member of the imperial court, if someone really comes to harass, then the officials of all sizes in the capital will go home to retire.

The general at the head took the document handed by the herald and passed it on for a moment, with a somewhat strange expression, and passed it on to the next one.

I watched them one by one, and my expression was a little weird.

"Nonsense."

One of the faintly heard it say, with a little dissatisfaction, and flicked his sleeves and went in.

The other military attaches who had read the documents either shook their heads or said nothing. and every man went into his tent.

The tension was swept away, and the soldiers who were standing sat down again.

“… Who? ”

“… What to do? ”

Everyone whispered and looked curiously in the direction they came. The night in the wild is much darker than in the capital, and there is nothing unusual in the black.

"I said I was here to see him off..."

Hearing this, Xu Maoxiu subconsciously turned around and looked at the group of people sitting next to him who were exchanging new news.

"To whom?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Catching up on this big night, and there is an order from the government, it is definitely not an ordinary person, and it will not be people like you and me." The man said with a smile, while rushing to the side of the general's tent, "There are many young people on this trip, all of them are the children of the generals, and they are pampered, and there are many families who are reluctant..."

Torches lit up in the dark night, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves became clear.

It seems that there are quite a few people coming.

The soldiers in the camp couldn't help but stand up and look at it curiously.

The men and horses were getting closer and closer, and under the light of the torches in the night wind, about a dozen people and a carriage could be seen, no, in addition to the escort of a dozen people, there were also a few empty horses.

"No, who still has two horses for escort travel?"

The soldiers couldn't help but be surprised.

Long-distance running is the most harmful to horses, so the best way is to equip three horses in rotation, of course, this extravagant approach is unrealistic for the Central Plains where horses are scarce, even in the Northwest Army is extremely rare, can get this kind of equipment only the well-equipped scouts are qualified.

Because of the prior greeting, the centaurs were not hindered and stopped outside the camp.

The carriage opened, and a woman stepped down.

There was a low noise in the camp.

"Look, sure enough, the female relatives of which family are reluctant to let their relatives travel far away..."The person next to him smiled, and said to Xu Maoxiu, but he saw Xu Maoxiu's expression surprised, and then looked at the other people next to Xu Maoxiu, as if his eyes were about to fall off.

What is surprising about this, I have never seen the world!

The little soldier was sneering a few words, and saw Xu Maoxiu striding away, in the direction of the people and horses outside the camp.

"I'm not looking for you, don't be too busy to watch the excitement, be careful of being beaten...."

Xiao Bing hurriedly shouted, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cry from Xu Bang's mallet.

Then five or six people ran over there.

The little soldier was startled, and the others also looked at it and looked surprised, but to their surprise, the few people who rushed up were not knocked to the ground by those guards, but stood directly in front of the carriage, and what was even more surprising was that the little lady also saluted them!

Gift!

A group of people almost fell off their eyes when they saw it.

"No, I'm here to see off a few poor men, right?" The soldier muttered.

Banqin lifted the curtain of the car, and Cheng Jianniang, who was covered in a cloak, walked down.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"What's wrong?"

The seven brothers asked, worried and anxious.

"Give a gift." Cheng Jianniang said.

Everyone was stunned.

"Is there really a third salute?" Xu Bang mallet shouted.

"Of course, when did I ever speak?" Cheng Jianniang said, stretching out her hand and pointing to the side. "That is."

Seven horses were snorting at the side.

It turned out to be a horse send-off.

"The one with the white nose is mine!" Xu Bangmao was the first to shout. Rushed over.

The other brothers laughed and followed.

"Not really." Xu Maoxiu said. "It's not fast along the way, and besides, none of us are cavalry, and we can't use it when we get to the west, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

He said with a frown and looked around.

"Did you come by yourself?"

Are these guards from the Zhou family?

When he saw him, a man wrapped in a large cloak dismounted.

"Lang Jun, don't worry, I came with my lady."

The hood was lifted, revealing the handsome face of a young man under the torches.

The tent was slammed open, and a retinue jumped in.

"Childe. Son! He shouted.

The tent was shared by four people, but at this time everyone else was laughing around the campfire, and there was only one person in the tent.

"What shouting!"

Saturday Lang, who was reading under the torch, shouted angrily.

"Childe, Childe, Cheng Niangzi is here!" He shouted excitedly.

Saturday Lang stood up abruptly, looking incredulous.

"Who?" He asked.

"It's Cheng Niangzi, Cheng Niangzi, I'm here to see you off!" He shouted excitedly.

To see them off...

She's here to see her off!

Liuliulang suddenly felt like a thorn all over his body, and he wanted to roll on the ground.

This...

"What nonsense!" He shouted with a flushed face, got up and rushed out.

"And Qin Gongzi is also here...."

He shouted after he was there.

Liuliulang rushed to the outside of the tent with bright eyes, and saw the people gathered there. Although the figures swayed, the torches swayed. But I still saw at a glance the woman standing next to the car wrapped in a big cloak who couldn't see the description clearly, and Qin Shisanlang who had taken off his hood and was laughing or something.

These two guys!

"....Are you really here to see these people?"

“… What to send? Seven horses? ”

“… What a good horse? Is it worth chasing in the middle of the night? ”

Walking through the camp and listening to the discussion in his ears, Liulang's pace slowed down and finally stopped.

“… I said that my sister and brother-in-law came to see me off...."

What a sister brother-in-law!

Liuliulang turned his head and looked fiercely at the few people who spoke, and several people also saw him.

It seems that there are no rules for onlookers like this, this young player is angry...

It's all on fire when you look at it...

Several people hurriedly lowered their heads and pulled each other to the side.

Liuliulang stood there and looked over there, clasped his hands to notice that something was wrong, and looked down at the scroll in his hand.

"Alright, let's go back." Xu Maoxiu said, after finishing speaking, he felt that walking in the middle of the night was even worse, "Why don't you just rest in the car for one night, don't run around." ”

"Light the campfire." Fan Jianglin also said.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

"No need, I'm here to deliver the horses, so I'll go back." She said.

"Don't mess around like this in the future, you're like this, but you're out of sight with us." Xu Maoxiu still said with a calm face.

"It was originally earlier, but it has not been done well, so it has been delayed." Cheng Jianniang said, short and saluting, "Let my brothers worry." ”

"Don't worry, I'm here, besides, she's not the kind of person who takes reckless risks." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile on the side.

Xu Maoxiu and Fan Jianglin both looked at him and bowed.

"There is Lao Qin's son." They said in unison.

"It's an honor, it's an honor." Qin Shisanlang smiled and returned the salute slightly.

It's really like my sister and brother-in-law...

Liuliulang squeaked the book in his hand.

It's my sister and brother-in-law, and my serious brother is here!

"Fourth brother." Cheng Jianniang suddenly shouted.

Xu Sigen, who was standing on the side, hurriedly answered and stood over.

"Actually, this third gift is mainly for you." Cheng Jianniang said.

Everyone was stunned, Xu Sigen was even more surprised, and a little at a loss.

"Me?" He asked.

"Fourth brother, you take a good look at these horses, and after some time, you will be able to see the results." Cheng Jianniang said.

Horse? Effect?

Xu Sigen couldn't help but look at the horses, he took a good look at these horses, in fact, they are not very good horses, at least they are not worthy of his sister to catch up with them in the middle of the night.

Of course, this is from the price alone, the courtesy is light and affectionate.

It turns out that there is another effect?

"What is it?" He couldn't help but ask.

"It's a matter of looking at the results. The fourth brother watched slowly along the way. I see it. Say, there is no need, and it is not clear. Cheng Jianniang said, smiled slightly, and saluted them again, "In the place of the military camp, the woman is inconvenient, and my sister has taken her leave." ”

"It's so late. Don't go. Xu Maoxiu and others said.

"It's okay, what about us people, the official road in the capital, there's nothing to do." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile.

"Then there is Lao Qin's son." Xu Maoxiu and others gave a salute.

Seeing that the people here got on the car and turned the horse's head with a hula and turned the horse's head, Liuliulang couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

These two guys!

"I wish you all a smooth journey and success!"

Qin Shisanlang put his hand to his mouth and said loudly.

The sound came far away in the night.

With his shouting, his guards shouted in unison.

No matter who it was, this blessing made the soldiers in the camp laugh.

"Okay." Someone replied in a lengthened tone.

Immediately after that, more cheering voices also sounded, and the miscellaneous finally coaxed.

Qin Shisanlang once again gave up his hand. Turn the horse's head.

The centaur walked away slowly.

As they left, the uproar of the camp intensified. Many people flocked to Xu Maoxiu's side, asking with curiosity and asking about the horses.

In this hustle and bustle, Liulang quietly watched the people who left.

"Shh Suddenly, someone said.

The lively people were stunned.

"Listen!" The man said.

What to listen to?

The hustle and bustle of the camp gradually subsided, and the sound of the night wind became clearer and clearer.

“… Husband is in the world... When the marquis..."

The woman's hoarse voice came in the night, accompanied by the sound of drumming.

“… The boy has a life....meritorious deeds...."

Xu Maoxiu couldn't help but take a few steps forward, this familiar and unfamiliar song...

What is familiar is that I have seen this scene at a certain time, and what is strange is that this woman's breath is much better than then, and the night is long and long.

"My sister sings for us!"

Xu Bangmao shouted loudly.

The voice was immediately booed.

"Don't make noise, I can't hear you!"

Xu Bangmao smiled.

"It's my sister singing to us—" he muttered again, but this time he didn't dare to raise his voice, and he craned his neck to look in the direction from which the song came.

In the night, the torches were lit and walked farther and farther away.

“… Recruiting to Jimen is indispensable"

"A thousand gold buys a horse whip and a hundred gold knife heads" [Note 2]

“… 10,000 people are in one mind... The son is the same enemy..."

“…… Loyalty and righteousness are angry....rush to the bullfight..."

"A man who intends to be a thousand....see death as sleep..."

“… Serve the country and save the head of Qian, kill the thief and find the marquis...."

At first, only the woman's voice came, and from time to time there were male voices combined, obviously there was only a man and a woman with a drum, but the sound seemed to reach the sky, with the intensity of the drum, although the female voice was always flat, but everyone's heart couldn't help but stir.

I don't know which one it started, but the battalion soldiers here also began to chant along, and gradually the sound became louder and louder, and the sound shook the world.

“…… 10,000 people are in one mind... The son is the same enemy..."

“…… Loyalty and righteousness are angry....rush to the bullfight..."

"A man who intends to be a thousand....see death as sleep..."

“… Serve the country and save the head of Qian, kill the thief and find the marquis...."

The woman's voice was long gone, but the loud singing that was repeated still surrounded the camp in the night.

In the midst of this song, Liuliulang grinned, knocked the scroll in his hand in front of him, and turned to the tent.

Serve the country and save the head of Qian, kill the thief and find the marquis.
