Chapter 4 (24) The Turmoil of the Gold Medal

The general came suddenly, one did not speak, the other was not appeased, but he treated each other with a long and flat courtesy, and suddenly the one hundred and sixty or seventy soldiers who left behind the break were greatly moved, although they could not say the heroic language of "the soldier dies for the confidant", but everyone was in the heart of the heat wave rolling, a ** solemn emotion spontaneously arose, even if he received Sun Zhongshan's military order to sit down and rest, but no one wanted to speak, as if as long as he opened his mouth, it would destroy this solemn and quiet atmosphere.

Sun Zhongshan didn't know that Chen Pu did not dare to overstep his authority because of the laws of the imperial court. He also thought that General Zhuguo did not speak in front of the army because Princess Changsha was not good at words. Therefore, after he disbanded the team, he did not lead Chen Pu to comfort the soldiers, seeing Chen Pu standing silently with his sword, he didn't seem to have the intention of leaving immediately, thinking about it, he was about to ask for the general's military order, so he heard Chen Pu ask: "You are Sun Sentinel, right?" ”

"Yes!" Sun Zhongshan stepped forward and replied. Because of the identity of the princess of Changsha and the majesty of General Zhuguo, although he knew that he did not treat Chen Pu with dignity but responded that he had lost the etiquette in the army, he really did not have the courage for a while.

"Where's your merchant captain?"

Sun Zhongshan hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and replied: "General Yu: Captain Shang hasn't closed his eyes for a day and night, and now he is resting over there." ”

Chen Pu looked in the direction of Sun Zhongshan's finger, and there was indeed a person lying in the grass not far away, with his shoulder armor had been removed, and he was sleeping in a saddle with his legs and legs. In order to prevent the exposure of the poisonous sun, this person took a sweatshirt to cover his face and chest, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but since Sun Zhongshan pointed out that it was Shang Cheng, it would probably not be fake.

"The general will wait a minute, and I will summon the merchant captain to come over."

Chen Pu shook his head and stopped Sun Zhongshan and said, "No, I just came over to take a look, and there is no military affairs to discuss with the merchant captain." She glanced at Shang Cheng again, and admired his courage. Seeing that the death battle is imminent, I don't know how many people are terrified in their hearts, but this person can still lie high and fall asleep, and he is really a reckless and reckless murderer with no worries! However, she faintly felt that her judgment seemed to be wrong, and she couldn't figure out what was wrong for the time being, so she pointed to a few low miscellaneous trees on the edge of the slope not far away, and said, "Let's go and sit." She saw that although the branches and leaves of those miscellaneous trees were not luxuriant, they also blocked out a cloud of shade, which could always shade the poisonous sun, and it was a good place to rest and talk.

Sun Zhongshan hadn't spoken yet, and Qian Laosan, who had just learned the identity of General Chen Puzhuguo from Wen Mu, had already rushed to say: "General, you can't go over there!" ”

Chen Pu stared at Qian Laosan in surprise, thought for a while, and asked, "You are Qian Laosan, right?" How do you say you can't go over there? ”

She casually said Qian Laosan's name and position, and on the spot, Qian Laosan's face was so excited that she almost didn't know how to place her hands and feet, and her mouth was silent for a long time before she remembered to hurry back to the general's question, because she said: "Over there,...... The taste over there is not good. ”

"Bad taste?" Chen Pu was a little strange.

Qian Laosan scratched his ears and cheeks and said that he couldn't say clearly, so Sun Zhongshan answered for him: "There is a slope over there, and there is a grass col below, and the corpses of the people and horses of Tu Duci have no time to bury them, so they are all thrown there." Now the sun is big, and the smell of blood from the corpses is too big for people to stand it. Qian Laosan nodded vigorously beside him.

As soon as Sun Zhongshan reminded him like this, Chen Pu immediately noticed that there was indeed a bloody breath wafting around his nose, but he didn't pay attention to it because it was very thin.

Sun Zhongshan said again: "We are in the limelight, the smell is not so strong, and we can't hold it when we get close." Qian Laosan nodded and added, "That's it!" That smell can smoke out people's overnight meals......" said and dragged the bloody leather armor and sniffed it, grinning, "What a fucking ......" suddenly remembered that now this is no longer a place to open your mouth and talk nonsense, and if you want to rein in the abyss, where is the time, and when you open your mouth, a black face is swollen purple.

Chen Pu has been in the army for a long time, and the military man's foul language and slang are not taken seriously, so he smiled and said, "Then sit here." He sat down cross-legged on the spot, and beckoned several officers and guards to sit down.

Sun Zhongshan and Baokan didn't understand what this incredible figure wanted to do, they glanced at each other, and sat down in the first place without saying a word.

Chen Pu didn't speak, but slowly stroked the red silk silk on the hilt of the sword. In fact, she didn't have the heart to speak. Until now, she has not been able to fully recover from the strong emotional fluctuations in front of the team just now, and there are still two clusters of red afterglow on her white face, but the four officers with strange faces in front of her are all sitting with their hands on their knees, not moving at all as if they are listening to the general's instructions, looking around left and right, and said with a smile: "Everyone is free, don't be so restrained." ”

But the more she said this, the more suspicious several officers became, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on their faces, but their bodies became more and more straight.

Chen Pu had no choice but to find a new conversation and asked Qian Laosan: "I came over just now and saw that Chief Qian seemed to have brought something out to show." What is it that makes Chief Qian so happy? ”

"Let the general laugh, it's a gold medal." Qian Laosan grinned. He took off the gold medal pinned to his waist, and deliberately blew the dust that was not there on it at all, Sun Zhongshan turned sideways and wanted to quietly point him out, he had already halfway up and stretched out his arm to hand the gold medal to Chen Pu.

Chen Pu took the gold medal and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked Sun Zhongshan: "Sun Whistle seems to have a piece too, right?" ”

Sun Zhongshan also took the gold medal, but he didn't hand it to Chen Pu directly, but held it with both hands and handed it to the guards beside him, and asked the guards to hand it to Chen Pu. Qian Laosan looked at them and turned a sign around, his lips squirmed once or twice, he sighed in annoyance, and glared at Sun Zhongshan fiercely with slanted eyes.

Before Sun Zhongshan could explain to him with his eyes, the general had already spoken.

"It's really a gold medal for Samun." Chen Pu seemed to be dazzled by the brilliant golden light flashing on the two gold medals, and his eyes looked a little confused. "I am in the Father...... I have seen three pieces in the study. It's just that the painting on this side is slightly different, and the others are exactly the same as these two pieces. ”

Bao Kan said: "Tell the general: the one on that side is not a painting, it is a word, the word of the Tuqi people." ”

Chen Pu looked at Bao Kan suspiciously, and asked, "Is this Captain Bao?" Do you know this, and you know the words of the Turks? ”

Bao Kan is an old guard, although he has never seen General Zhuguo, General Ning Yuan, a guerrilla general of four and five grades, has seen a lot, and he is far less excited than Qian Laosan, and he doesn't care much about promotions and transfers, so he calmly replied: "General Yu: I don't know." It was when the gold medal was seized last time, and the Shang Xiaowei said that these long and short paintings of twists and turns were actually a kind of writing, which were made by the Tuqi people themselves on the basis of other characters. It seems that this word is still exquisite, what is it called, the word ...... Word...... What's the word? He turned his head and asked Zhao Shishi next to him. Zhao Shishi frowned and recalled, and said not very surely: "Letters." It may or may not be the name. It's been so long, who has the time to remember this. This thing is not used for fart, and it melts into gold to make almost. ”

Bao Kan pouted. He knew that Zhao Shishi was coveting two gold medals; If it weren't for the great general, he would definitely be sarcastic.

Chen Pu was even more puzzled, stared at the two signs in his hand back and forth for a long time, and then asked, "Does the Shang Captain know the characters of these Tuqi people?" ”

Bao Kan shook his head with a smile and said, "How can he know?" He guessed that it was the word of the Turks. At that time, he also turned over and compared the three signs over and over again, and he didn't see a name for himself when he arrived. Lao Fan also talked with him for a long time, and told us with a sweat in his head that the captain was a scholar and couldn't understand half of what he said. Hehe......"

"Old Fan? Who is Old Fan? Chen Pu asked.

"Fan Quan. A battalion captain of our Yanshan Chinese Army is now also a 'fierce general', and he was the ass worm of our business captain at the beginning. But this guy has a bright heart and bright eyes, and he has been in private school for nine months......"

Zhao Shishi interjected and corrected: "Nine and a half months." ”

“…… Yes, nine and a half months of private school. Baukan also agreed with this time. But it was such a fork, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say, instigated his lips to think about it, but he couldn't think of it anymore, hated Zhao Shishi and scolded, "Suffered by the mother!" What are you doing when I speak? What shall I say next? ”

Everyone laughed, and the original cautious and serious atmosphere faded a lot. Chen Pu also smiled. She had already heard Wen Mu say that Ji Zheng was once the sentry chief under Shang Cheng, so she was not surprised at this time, took out a silk silk and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead, looked at the gold medal in her hand and said with a smile: "Yan Shanwei is going to be in the limelight again this time." Since the seventh year of the Eastern Era, there have been twelve years in the north of the four guards have not seized a gold medal, the saint always said, summon the princes and grandchildren, if you want to reward them with a good paperweight, you can't get a good paperweight, don't laugh, this is the old rule, the annual sacrifice, reward the descendants of the Chen family with a gold medal, but also a reminder and encouragement. Remind them that they must never forget the border troubles in northern Xinjiang, and encourage them to show off the martial arts of our Great Zhao. It wasn't until last summer after the Battle of Yanshan East Road that Li Zhen, the nephew of Li Zhen, presented three gold medals, and the prince and the king of Chengdu were each rewarded with a gold medal when worshipping their ancestors. Because one of the two gold medals captured by Captain Li Zhen was the Da Samu Gold Medal, and he was pardoned and named Zhaowu Lieutenant, and the Da Samu Gold Medal was also left in the imperial study by the Holy Lord. She glanced up at Qian Laosan and Sun Zhongshan, nodded approvingly, and said, "The two sentinels are brave and martial, and in time, they will be the great ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly found that the expressions of the four border army officers had changed greatly, Qian Laosan gritted his teeth, Zhao Shishi's hand had already grasped the brute knife at his waist, Sun Zhongshan's description was the most calm, but he also clenched his fists and his face was pale.

The four barbarian Lu Han, who were not fully armored and covered in blood, suddenly revealed their fierce appearances, and the originally harmonious atmosphere became strange and inexplicable in an instant. The three female guards were alert, and when they sensed that the situation was wrong, they had already jumped up and protected Chen Pu behind them with their swords; Wen Mu stood in front of the guards and scolded sharply: "What do you want to do?" ”

Chen Pu was also slightly flustered. But she was immediately sedated; Thinking of the story that Bao Kan had just said, he guessed the whole thing eight or nine points, stood up and shouted, "What are you doing here? Put all your weapons away! They are all strong men and will not harm me! Captain Wen, you get out of the way! She brushed aside the guards, looked at the four officers one by one with her eyes, and asked softly, "Do you have any grievances?" Is it deprived of credit? ”

Zhao Shi's eyes were red and as fierce as hungry wolves, and he couldn't speak at all, panting and kicking the grass barley crackling; Bao Kan gritted his teeth, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "Li Wei, Li Shen...... I was the eighteenth generation ancestor of your Li family! ”

After all, Qian Laosan and Sun Zhongshan had not experienced those few decisive battles, although they were angry and disdainful of the actions of the Li family, they were not as angry as Bao Kan Zhao Shishi. The two of them hurriedly went over to persuade Baokan Stone, and Sun Zhongshan said to Chen Pu: "The general must forgive me!" …… As far as I know, the three gold medals captured in the battle on Yanshan East Road last year were handed over by the soldiers led by Captain Shang Cheng during the battle of the Nanguan Grain Depot in Yixian County, and they have nothing to do with Captain Li Zhen. The gold medal was captured by the merchant lieutenant, and the other two pieces of credit were shared by the officers and men of the battalion. ”

"There's a fart!" Zhao Shishi broke free from Qian Laosan's arm and jumped up to scold. "It's all shared by his mother's Li family, what does the gold medal have to do with our big soldiers?! I'll just say why the three gold medals were lost later, it turned out that they were dirty! He suddenly turned his face and stared at Wen Mu viciously, "Wen Zhaoyuan, you are the commander of the camp, you dare to say that you don't know the origin of these three gold medals?" I wonder if they tarnished our credit? ”

Wen Mu was also surprised at first, after listening to the words of both sides, now he has calmed down, and when he saw Zhao Shishi pointing the finger at him, he shook his head and said: "I know about the gold medal, but in the battle report documents that are remitted to the camp, either the origin of the gold medal is unknown, or it means that it is the credit of Li Zhen and Li Shen, and I have never seen a single word mention of Lord Shang." He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Lord Shang and I have known each other for a long time, and he has never mentioned the gold medal. ”

"Suffer your mother! What do you eat at the Zhibing Division? Do you think everyone talks about their own merits every day! ”

Wen Mu knew that Zhao Shishi was so dizzy that he didn't choose to say anything, and he didn't care about him, so he turned his head to Chen Pu and said: "General Yu: In the eighteenth year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, the battle of Nanguan Camp in Yixian County was a battle of Yanshan East Road, and there was a slight suspicion, so I asked the general to transfer to the camp and re-inspect and investigate." ”

As soon as Chen Pu testified, he immediately understood what Wen Mu meant, if Wen Mu encountered an accident in the process of retreating, she would be responsible for submitting it to the camp for approval and thoroughly investigating the ins and outs of the three gold medals. Although this matter is already a practice in the army, but this is an extraordinary event in an extraordinary period, and she can't shirk the entrustment, nodding and saying "good"; Then he said to his three guards, "If you are separated in the middle of the retreat, any one of you must return to the official letter and hand it over to the secretary." ”

Her three guards also received the rank of captain with six grades and eight grades, and at this time, they all stepped forward to give a military salute and said in unison: "Follow the general's order!" ”
