Chapter 64
When Ye Xun came to the border pass in the northern frontier, he felt that his mood suddenly brightened. He went from a small prison courtyard where he was imprisoned to an incomparably vast world, and his mood was extremely comfortable. He often galloped alone, listening to the wind whistling in his ears, looking at the Great Wall, grasslands, and mountains in the distance, feeling like an eagle soaring in the sky...... This made him forget all the pain he had suffered for a while. The only thing that made him feel awkward was that he had to wear that cold mask every day.
Now the border pass is relatively calm, and few enemy troops dare to attack, but guarding the northern gateway must always be vigilant, and the troops must be trained every day. Ye Xun would show up on time every day and watch the soldiers drill......
On this day, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and Ye Xun rode a horse galloping on the grassland again, and he had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying. The horse came to a slow halt as he looked up at the blue sky and breathed a sigh of relief...... At this time, his retinue came on horseback, "General, it is hot here during the day and cold at night. It's going to cool down, so put on some clothes. ”
Xiao Yu is the person specially assigned to him above, and his care can be described as meticulous. But Ye Xun didn't know his specific origin, and because of the lessons of Wendu and Xiaojiu before, he was unwilling and didn't dare to get too close to the people around him.
Ye Xun took the clothes he handed over, put them on, and asked, "Xiao You, I received a notice yesterday that I will go to the main camp for a meeting tomorrow. Do you know what the situation is? ”
"General, the little ones have inquired. Every month, we have to go to the headquarters to report the military situation and deploy the plan for the next month. You've just been here, and you're meeting the commander tomorrow. ”
"Who's our commander here?"
"It's called Fan Ning, General Fan."
"Is it him?!" Ye Xun's eyes flashed.
"General, do you know him?"
Ye Xun smiled and shook his head, "I've heard the name for a long time, it's like thunder!" ”
As they spoke, a hare ran past their horse, and Ye Xun exclaimed, "What a fat rabbit! It's a pity I didn't bring a bow and arrows. Or, add a meal to everyone in the evening! ”
Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, took the bow and arrow from the horse, and raised it in his hand, "General, what do you think this is?" ”
In the evening, campfires are lit and shelves are erected in the camp. The hare sizzles on the shelf...... Gathered around the bonfire are all hundreds of households, thousands of households, joining the army, deputy generals and other high-grade generals, Xiao You is responsible for pouring wine for everyone......
The night was getting darker, the chill was getting stronger, and the moon was rising. In front of the bonfire, the cups are still being pushed and changed, and the sound of cheers and fists is endless. The firelight reflected on Ye Xun's metal mask, and it also reflected the smile on the corner of his mouth......
On the second day, Ye Xun took Xiao You and a lieutenant general to ride to the headquarters camp. General Fan and the generals of the other ministries were looking at the sand table. Ye Xun stepped forward and hugged his fist, "General Fan!" Under Blanc. He had just taken up the post of general of the left army of the division. ”
General Fan looked up at him and couldn't help but be surprised, then looked him up and down and asked, "Are you Bai Lang?" General White? ”
Ye Xun nodded, "It's exactly below." ”
The corners of General Fan's mouth hooked into a playful smile, "Okay, General Bai." ”
General Fan assigned defense to everyone, and when it came to an important line of defense, he first talked about the danger and importance of this line of defense, and then said, "This line of defense is handed over to Ye ...... General Hakuro! ”
Someone objected, "General Bai has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the terrain and military situation here, so how can he take on this important responsibility?" ”
"He can!" General Fan and Ye Xun looked at each other and said bluntly.
At the end of the meeting, General Fan said to the generals attending the meeting, "Everyone disperse!" General White stayed. ”
After everyone else left, Fan Ning, the general of Fan, said to Ye Xun, "Go!" Go out and find an open place to talk. ”
Ye Xun followed Fan Ning to a high ground one after another, and looked down from the high ground, with an extremely broad field of vision. Fan Ning stared at Ye Xun, "You seem to be a person I knew before, that's a heroic and beautiful young man!" ”
Ye Xun bit his lip and couldn't help but smile, "It's the same now." ”
Fan Ning shook his head and smiled, "I recognized you at a glance." I heard the news of your absence before, and it made me uncomfortable for several days! You said that you have to go back to the dynasty to be a civil official, how comfortable is the emperor far away on the border? You must know that you have been dangling in front of the emperor for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be no mistakes. ”
"Where am I to be so dashing as you? I am full of worries, and I still have debts to pay in my previous life! I can't help myself! Ye Xun said helplessly.
Fan Ning shook his head and asked with a smile, "It's been ten years since we went to the battlefield together, right?" ”
Ye Xun thought for a moment, "It's been almost ten years. I remember very well, I was nineteen years old, and I will soon be twenty-eight years old this year. ”
Fan Ning nodded, "Alas, I think that back then, the two of us were under General Tan's seat, one was a pioneer and the other was a deputy general, killing the enemy and drinking together, how unrestrained and enjoyable?" We also inspire the famous generals through the ages and leave a name in history...... "Fan Ning said fascinatedly.
Ye Xun said with some sadness, "Now, you are only one step away from the 'generation of famous generals', and I have no possibility in this life." Now I don't even deserve my own name. Ye Xun lifted his mood for a moment, and continued, "But when it comes to being unbridled, I think it's already very enjoyable to be here, you don't know how I came here this year, it's like walking through the purgatory of the underworld." So, now I feel very content and happy! ”
"As you can imagine." Fan Ning looked at the scars on his exposed skin, his eyes were full of distress, "As long as people live, it's better than anything else!" You don't have to be discouraged, you are also a generation of heroes! I think that 'prince and prince' is not something that anyone can deal with! Don't talk about that, let's stay today and have a drink! ”
Ye Xun shook his head, "No, when I go back, I have to follow General Fan's deployment." Besides, you and Bai Lang talked about wine when they first met, and they were too familiar with each other, which inevitably made people suspicious. ”
"How are you so scared now! It's boring! This is our territory, no one needs to be afraid! Fan Ning said disapprovingly.
Ye Xun glanced back at Xiao Yuhe and Deputy General not far away, "There will be a chance in the future." ”
Ye Xun and the army, deputy generals and others discussed military affairs in the camp tent. Xiao You suddenly came in and whispered in Ye Xun's ear, "General, someone has been sent to you from above." It is said that he wants to be your left and right hand and take care of your daily life. ”
"Oh? Haven't you always taken care of my daily life? ”
Xiao You pouted, "Xu thinks that Xiao is not well taken care of, and I am afraid that I will not be needed in the future?" ”
"How so? Who sent it? Ye Xun suddenly stopped moving, because he smelled the familiar fragrance again. Ye Xun sighed and asked in a humble voice, "Is it a woman?" ”
Koyu nodded.
"Send the people back and tell the top that I don't need them!"
"General, why didn't anyone see me, so you want to drive me away?" Accompanied by the voice, a woman in military uniform entered the camp, and she hugged her fist to Ye Xun, "General Bai, the little woman Wu Qiutong was sent by the emperor to take care of the general's living and eating. In addition, the little girl also knows some martial arts and swordsmanship, and she also knows a little bit about the arrangement of troops, hoping to help the general! ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at this young, beautiful, heroic woman.
Ye Xun was wearing a mask, and his skin was dark due to the wind and sun, and sparse stubble appeared on his mouth and chin, Ye Xun thought to himself that if no one told her that he was Ye Xun, she should not be able to see it. He pretended to be calm and said, "It's not suitable for women in the army!" Girl, go to the camp to rest first, and the general will immediately go to the palace to let the emperor take back his order. ”
"Men can stay, why can't women? Does the general look down on us women? Qiu Tong asked aggressively.
"Not really. I just feel that the army is full of men, and it is inconvenient for a woman to be in it. Ye Xun found that the others were still staring at Qiu Tong, so he turned his face and scolded, "What are you looking at?" What should you do, what should you do! ”
The soldiers hurriedly lowered their heads.
Qiu Tong had a nonchalant smile on his face, "I won't leave anyway!" I was sent by the above, and the general wanted to go up, although it was good. Seeing that Ye Xun was half-open, not knowing what to say, Qiu Tong asked complacently, "Where is the general's camp?" I'm going to go over and clean up. ”
Before Ye Xun could speak, Xiao You spoke first, "Girl, come with me, I'll take you there!" ”
"Huh? Xiao You ......" Ye Xun didn't finish speaking, and the two had already walked out of the camp.
Ye Xun still let Xiao You take care of his daily life, and he didn't let Qiu Tong interfere in anything other than decoction and cooking. Ye Xun asked Xiao You to follow him inseparably, Qiu Tong wanted to say something to him in private, and he had no chance to do something, so he had to be in a hurry.
On this day, Ye Xun took a Chinese medicine bath in the wooden bathtub, the water temperature was just right, and Ye Xun comfortably leaned against the bucket and closed his eyes to recuperate. Suddenly, I heard a noise outside. He quickly opened his eyes, and his whole body became alert......
Qiu Tong walked in from outside.
"Who let you in! Get out! Koyu! Ye Xun was stunned.
Qiu Tong approached Ye Xun as if he hadn't heard, "What are you looking for Xiao Yu?" I sent him away. ”
"What are you going to do? I'm taking a shower, you get out! Ye Xun buried his face very low and groped with his hands on the table behind him. Qiu Tong handed him his mask, and Ye Xun hurriedly put on the mask.
Qiu Tong thought it was funny, "I know you're taking a shower, I'll help you rub your back!" ”
"No, you don't! Get out! Ye Xun said sharply.
Qiu Tong couldn't say anything, took a towel in one hand and wiped it on Ye Xun's back, and gently put one hand on his back. Ye Xun froze there, "Men and women don't kiss, please respect yourself!" ”
Qiu Tong not only did not restrain herself, but gently groped Ye Xun with her white hand, slowly swiping from his back over his shoulders and sliding to his chest.
Ye Xun closed his eyes. Holding his breath, he finally said ruthlessly, "Where do you have everyone's beautiful appearance!" No shame at all! ”
Qiu Tong got angry, threw the towel into the water 'bang', turned around and left.
Ye Xun stopped her, "Slow! ”
Qiu Tongmei was stunned, "What?" Regretted it? ”
"You take a look at the door first, no one outside will go out again, or you will have a bad reputation."
Qiu Tong gave him a blank look and went straight out.
