Time flies, it's the height of summer.

Summer in Akagi is also unusually hot, the scorching sun is like a fire scorching the earth, the leaves of the tall birch trees on the roadside are wilting, a few people on it are moaning listlessly, and even the heat wave can be seen rolling and boiling on the ground.

In this season of sweating like rain when you move, there is a huge army of men and horses rushing on the official road. At first there were five hundred horsemen in black uniforms, who rode on tall horses, and although they were sweating profusely and their horses were constantly snorting, they seemed to have no feeling at all from the knight's straight waist and vigilant gaze. To have such a strong will, it can be seen that these 500 people are a well-disciplined elite.

Behind the cavalry were two thousand five hundred ironclad troops. In this weather, they were actually wearing full armor and heavy iron helmets. The iron armor and iron helmet were as hot in the sunlight as the pieces of iron that had just been taken out of the blacksmith's furnace. The whole of the infantry was in a large steamer, and there was no sweat visible on their bodies, only the hot red faces and the dense salt on the armor.

This army was even more frightening, they did not say a word, they lined up in a neat formation, as if they were not affected by the blazing heat at all, and marched forward with sonorous force. What is surprising is that among the 2,500 ironclad troops, 2,000 people actually have white strips of cloth wrapped around their heads, which is clearly different from the other 500 people. Everyone clenched their weapons in their hands, silent like a swarm of lifeless robots. Their performance made the cavalry in front of them look back frequently, and there was a complicated look of surprise and admiration in their eyes.

In the middle of the two rows of ironclad armies are about 20,000 ordinary people, who support the old and the young, carry large and small salutes, and even pots and pans, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. Although his face is tired and abnormal, his clothes are relatively bright, and his complexion is ruddy, so he can see that his life is good. There were also a few and a half young men in the crowd, and these men were not idle, in the middle of the crowd, pushing a hundred or dozens of ox carts, these were the second batch of supplies that the Golden Mountain owed to Qin Forget last time.

This group was none other than Huang Wushuang and his entourage, who led the beggar army to Ulzhou, and after a month and a half, they finally picked up their families. And the five hundred cavalry were the men and horses that Huang Ling agreed with Qin Wang to garrison in Chicheng.

"Son, how far is that Rausch Akagi? Look at my son's hot, hurry in and cool off! In the procession, the curtain of a carriage opened, revealing an old woman, who was Huang Wushuang's biological mother, Li.

"Mother, it's almost here, the sun is poisonous outside, you hurry in, don't get heat stroke." Huang Wushuang wiped his sweaty face and said with a smile.

"You kid, why do you have to wear that iron armor." Knowing that his son had been stubborn since he was a child, Li sighed and stopped persuading.

"Shuang'er is really, a good Ulzhou can't live, and he has to take us to this bitter cold place to suffer." At this moment, a middle-aged woman's complaint came from the carriage.

"Shut up, what do you know, what's so good about being worried all day long in Ulzhou. Third sister, if you don't want to go, you can go back by yourself. When Li Shi, who was still kind just now, heard this, his face changed, and he coldly reprimanded the owner of the voice.

"Oh, eldest sister, the third sister is young, and it's normal that she can't endure this hardship, so you must not be like her." Another voice hurried to the round.

Huang Wushuang listened to all this in his ears, smiled wryly and shook his head, his two aunts are still really not worry-free. However, their thoughts also show that many of the family members of these brothers also have such thoughts and complain about themselves.

"Two aunts, don't worry. Akagi is a small place, but I assure you, it's definitely better than Ulju Castle. The most important thing is that we don't have to look at people's eyes anymore to live. As if to say to his two aunts, and like to others around him, Huang Wushuang shouted loudly.

"Hey, Shuang'er never counts, auntie believes in you." Hearing what Huang Wushuang said conclusively, his two aunts couldn't help but nod and say.

"Brothers! Work hard, we'll be in Akagi soon, and good days are waiting for us. Huang Wushuang rode on his horse and shouted at his subordinates around him.

Hearing Huang Wushuang's words, everyone's spirits lifted slightly, and their steps were a little faster.

Ten Mile Long Pavilion.

It was still ten miles away from Akagi, but Huang Wushuang's team stopped. Because Huang Wushuang saw a person he didn't expect to appear here, Qin Wang.

The general came to pick me up?

When this thought popped up, Huang Wushuang felt that his entire atrium was trembling, and a warm current flowed through his body, feeling warm.

He hurriedly jumped off the war horse, dragged the iron armor weighing sixty catties, and ran quickly to the side of the pavilion, "Poof! Kneeling down, "Huang Wushuang has seen the general, fortunately he has fulfilled his mission!" Huang Wushuang's throat trembled.

Qin Wu looked at this fierce general kindly, he was in a very happy mood, he finally came back.

"Wushuang has worked hard, the sun is poisonous outside, come in and talk!" Qin Forget said happily.

Unparalleled? The general actually no longer called himself General Huang, but called himself Wushuang, Huang Wushuang's heart was happy and warm, he knew that from now on, Qin Forget would treat him as his own, even if his status was not as good as Yang Xuan and others, but it was a big step forward.

"Thank you, General!" Huang Wushuang's tone could not hide his excitement.

"Look, this is hot, Duan Jiu, hurry up and serve herbal tea." Qin Forget looked at Huang Wushuang's sweaty appearance and greeted Duan Jiudao.

A large bowl of turquoise herbal tea under his stomach, coupled with the shade on the top of his head, made Huang Wushuang feel cold and comfortable.

"Thank you, General Duan." He didn't dare to hold it up, although Duan Jiu was only Qin Wang's personal guard, he also understood how important this person was.

"You've worked hard all the way. And the brothers outside, don't let them stand, hurry back to Akagi, there is herbal tea and cold noodles prepared, let them rest and rest too! Qin Wang looked at the ironclad army outside who were not moving under the scorching sun, and spoke.

Hearing that Qin Wushuang didn't ask what the outcome of this trip was, and first cared about himself and his brothers, Huang Wushuang was moved again, and turned his head to whisper a few words to Huang Qi, who had been following him.

Huang Qi received the order, confessed to Qin Wang, and strode back to give the order.

"General, this is the result of this trip, the roster of our family members and the second batch of supplies from the Golden Mountain to supply our Chicheng." Huang Wushuang handed Qin Forget a thick booklet with both hands.

Qin Forget took it and didn't look at it immediately, but turned his head to look at the ironclad infantry who walked by him. I saw that in such a hot weather, although they were fully armed for a month, they were still able to maintain a strict and neat formation. The big dark faces looked like coal, but the eyes were still cold and full of murderous aura.

Qin Forget could see that they were all tired, and many people's bodies were trembling slightly, as if they would be crushed by the iron armor on their bodies at any time. But they still held their backs up, gritted their teeth and persevered, and now they were completely supported by a spirit of energy.

"It's so elite, it's so scary!" Qin Forget heard Dong Zhuang's inhalation behind him.

"Wushuang, I didn't expect that after returning from a long trip, the beggar army could have such a big change." Qin Wang's eyes were also full of brilliance, he didn't expect Huang Wushuang to give him such a big surprise.

"The general praises falsely, when he goes out, the last general will not dare to weaken the general's name!" Huang Wushuang didn't have a trace of smugness on his face, and said modestly.

"Okay, with this beggar army, I'm relieved a lot. Pass the order, the soldiers who are not dead soldiers will be rewarded with one tael of silver, plus three taels for each captain, and one hundred taels for General Huang, as for those dead soldiers......" Qin Forget pondered for a while, "The general has a word first, and he will not give them a silver salary, and he can't break his word, so each of them will reward them with a head, and they can kill one less person on the battlefield in the future." ”

If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished, this is the way to lead the army. What's more, the beggar army is so elite, and Qin Forget doesn't want to make their relationship with himself too stiff.

"Thank you, General!" Huang Wushuang was overjoyed, there was nothing in the silver, the key was that head, which meant that Qin Wang's attitude towards the beggar army was a little loose. Although it is only a hint, it also represents the opening of a door, and the life of the beggar army in the future may not be as sad as imagined.
