Chapter 367: Night Patrol

Lan Ziyi took a few soldiers from the Xiji Tiger Battalion to light torches to patrol the camp, Tao Zhuhu followed with an iron armor hand on the hilt of the sword, and even the father and son of the Qiu family also walked with Lan Ziyi in armor and swords.

Tonight's camp is indeed a carnival night, but Zhang Wang's veteran will naturally not let the soldiers drink and let the barracks not defend, those Zhang Wang's selected soldiers just drank a little less and then went to the camp to defend the key places, and now the night is approaching, the soldiers have long fallen asleep under the influence of alcohol.

Before the end of the banquet, Zhang Wang had already assigned tasks to Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun respectively, and the generals of each battalion in the Beijing camp, as well as Lan and Qi, had to lead the team to inspect the camp, first, to check whether the guards at various posts were in spirit, second, to strictly enforce military discipline so as not to cause trouble with each other after drinking, and third, to check the campfire and not set fire to the camp.

Lan Ziyi's silver price bright light armor had been wiped clean after returning to the camp, and now under the light of the torches, every piece of scale armor was shining brightly, looking like a bright lamp, illuminating everything around.

Tao Zhutu looked at Lan Ziyi's appearance and smiled:

"Young master, you are a live target in the night, if I were a demon thief ambushed in the dark, you would have died a hundred times a hundred times."

Lan Ziyi panted and laughed when he heard Tao Zhutu's ridicule:

"Fortunately, third brother, you are not a demon thief, my life is saved."

Tao Zhutu heard Lan Ziyi gasping for breath, and said dissatisfiedly:

"When I came out to inspect just now, I said that you don't wear armor, it's too tiring to wear this outfit."

Lan Ziyi waved his hand and said:

"If the body is not right, the order will not work. I'm an officer who came out to patrol the night, and if I don't even look right, then how can I command the army? ”

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit immediately retorted:

"Then the young master, who is sweating profusely, how can he still be dignified? So that you can command the whole army? Besides, how does the Marquis of the guards in this army give orders now? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sergeants lying in the tent on the side, and the sound of snoring like thunder came from the tent.

Lan Ziyi was choked by Tao Zhutu, smiled awkwardly, and then teased himself:

"I also wondered, I was wearing this armor on the battlefield, and I had to swing my sword to cut people and scold Fang You, and I wasn't necessarily tired at the time, why did I look like this now."

摃追兔 says:

"Young master, you ride a tall horse on the battlefield, and you don't have to run on your own two legs at all, which saves a lot of effort, and you fight for your life on the battlefield, and your head will move if you make a slight mistake, and your mind is gathered on the blade Young Master, where can you have the heart to care if you are tired or not."

Lan Ziyi shook his head and smiled:

"Third brother, what you said is really reasonable, I didn't feel anything strange about my body when I rushed into battle on the battlefield, I just took off the armor in the tent and I found that my shoulders had been worn out by the armor, and now I feel that I am sore all over, and I am not comfortable anywhere."

As soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, everyone around laughed, and even the accompanying sergeants snickered twice. In fact, the soldiers admired Lan Ziyi in their hearts, he was such a noble son who ate and lived with the soldiers in the army, shared weal and woe, and always charged forward when he fought, how could the soldiers not admire him.

When everyone was laughing, only Qiu Wenruo did not laugh, he observed the surrounding tents one after another and said:

"The captain can't help but be overt tonight, and it is really beyond his strength to rely on the selected cronies to defend the battalion of more than 20,000 people."

Qiu Xiao replied bluntly:

"The captain has to think not only about the defense, but also about the fatigue of the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers. Since the two battles of Fangcheng and Shouchun, the demon thieves have been vigorous, the official and military morale has declined, and the Jingshi is even more panicked after the demon thieves cross the river. Today's victory is not easy, this is all thanks to the soldiers sacrifice their lives to fight, if today's battle is not to let the soldiers eat and drink a good meal, it is really unreasonable. ”

Qiu Wenruo did not agree with his father, he said:

"But now there are hundreds of thousands of demon thieves outside the camp, they are just scattered, and they may gather at any time, if the demon thieves rob the camp tonight, how can our army rely on this drunken man to fight?"

Qiu Xiaozhi says:

"There is indeed this risk, but the thieves have the courage and brains to come to rob the camp is only Lei Youde, the other thieves are just a rabble, and today's war of demon thieves has been bold, our army is at least safe tonight, if tonight is still like a big enemy, I think the spirit of the soldiers will not be able to withstand it. Taiwei knows how to be relaxed and moderate. ”

At this time, Lan Ziyi and the others had just passed the last sentry that needed to be inspected, and after Lan Ziyi greeted the sentry, he stayed for a while, and after confirming that the soldiers had not slackened, Lan Ziyi began to lead people back home.

Qiu Xiaozhi observed Lan Ziyi's face by the light of the fire and said:

"Wei Hou, I see that you are not sincere in your joy, you have something on your mind."

Lan Ziyi glanced at Qiu Xiaozhi when he heard this, pouted and did not speak. Qiu Xiaozhi didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to speak, and then said again:

"Is Marquis Wei worried about whether the emperor will spare you?"

Lan Ziyi turned his face to the side when he heard this, and darkness suddenly enveloped his face, although everyone couldn't see Lan Ziyi's expression clearly, they all saw the movement of Lan Ziyi's shoulder, and they nodded again.

The sergeants who followed spread out to the surroundings under the angry gaze of Tao Zhutu, but Tao Zhutu's intimate actions did not come in handy this time, because Lan Ziyi did not intend to continue the topic, and Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo could not find anything to relieve the anxiety in Lan Ziyi's heart.

Qiu Xiao saw Lan Ziyi sighing secretly, so he didn't say more, and everyone walked silently on the way back, and no one spoke.

However, someone soon broke the embarrassing scene, Lan Ziyi and his party met Qi Rongxun and his party who were also returning from the camp patrol in the camp, and the sergeants on both sides saluted after meeting, and Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun greeted each other with fists

"Wei Hou!"

"Qi Hou!"

Anyway, the return journey was all the way, and after the teams on both sides bumped into each other, they joined forces and walked towards the big tent together.

Since Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun walked side by side, they also chatted without a sentence:

"What can Qi Hou find out about the traitor in the camp tonight?"

Qi Rongxun replied:

"When I saw two drunken people who wanted to fight, they pulled out their knives and were bumped into by me, and each of them was given ten lashes, and ordered to go back to their tents and go to sleep."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why the fight?"

Qi Rongxun smiled disdainfully:

"Hey, one toasts and the other doesn't drink, both sides feel faceless, and then they have to use the knife, and they can't see any more."

Then Qi Rongxun glanced at Lan Ziyi's team and asked:

"Where's your eldest brother?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"My eldest brother is in high spirits today, he was drunk by the lieutenant, and he has gone back to sleep in the tent."

Qi Rongxun asked again:

"What about your second brother? I haven't seen him since I returned to the camp today. β€œ

Lan Ziyi wanted to say that Tao Zhulu had returned to Beijing, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words:

"I ordered my second brother to report to my father, my father always said that I am a scholar and can't fight, and today I want to impress him."

Qi Rongxun smiled when he heard this:

"Wei Hou is really, you don't report when Fangcheng wins, you don't report when Xiangcheng defends it, you don't report when you want to be at the foot of the capital, there is a river here."

Qi Rongxun didn't think much about it, he didn't realize that Lan Ziyi was lying, but Lan Ziyi knew what he was talking about, and his palms were sweating.

Lan Ziyi coughed and then opened his mouth to explain, his voice tone did not change because of the tension in his heart, he said:

"Although Jiangbei is close to Beizhen, this is the capital, and the Son of Heaven is guarding the Beijing Division at his feet, which is not an ordinary honor."

Qi Rongxun heard the words and said:

"So Tao Zhulu is now in the capital?"

Qi Rongxun said unintentionally, Lan Ziyi listened intentionally, Lan Ziyi looked at Qi Rongxun indifferently and said:

"Why did Qi Hou say this?"

Qi Rongxun smiled:

"The bank of the south of the Yangtze River is a piece of erosion that has been stirred up by demon thieves, and the only one who can go to the north through the news is the capital, where can Tao Zhulu go if he doesn't go to the capital?"

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, but did not answer. The peach chasing rabbit behind Lan Ziyi learned from Lan Ziyi to maintain the greatest visibility, and his face was expressionless. Tao Zhutu is not stupid, he knows that Lan Ziyi does not want to expose Tao Zhulu's true whereabouts.

Qi Rongxun is not the kind of person who is thoughtful to notice the strangeness around him, he continued:

"Wei Hou is bold enough today, he actually fights King De with King De."

Lan Ziyi's hand twitched involuntarily when he heard this, and then he clenched it into a fist and couldn't let go of it again. 兰子义 says:

"King De slapped me, I couldn't help it, so I naturally fought back."

Qi Rongxun turned his head and smiled at Lan Ziyi:

"It's not just fighting back, right? I've heard you've all gone with knives. ”

But Qi Rongxun, who turned his head, found that Lan Ziyi's face had obviously changed, so he didn't continue to talk about this matter, and instead changed his words and said:

"Wei Hou fought well today, your cavalry galloped in the demon thief formation, and the demon thief's formation was forcibly disturbed."

Lan Ziyi also said:

"Qi Hou's command today is also calm and calm, and I can be regarded as having seen the power of the Divine Machine Battalion. And your relatives' knives, they are indeed amazingly powerful. β€œ

The two of them praised each other but not out of Gongwei, at least half of them were true, Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun on the battlefield cooperated very closely with each other, but the positions of the two and the forces behind them made it impossible for the relationship between the two to be too close.

Having said this, the people had come to the big tent, and the tent was brightly lit, and the heat inside could be felt through the tent door, and it seemed that all the people in the camp had arrived today, just as they had been before the battle last night.

The sergeants who came with Lan Ziyi stood outside the tent and did not enter again, but Lan Ziyi took off his helmet, pinched the bridge of his nose and said:

"I didn't sleep well last night, and today I'm tired for another day, and I really hope I can get a good night's sleep tonight."

Qi Rongxun reached out to lift the door curtain, and said as he lifted it:

"The captain drank so much wine today and didn't lie down and wanted to gather the generals to discuss the military situation, how can we be tired? Bear with me, Wei Hou, you can sleep when the captain finishes arranging. β€œ
