Chapter 402, Shuofang City, Sword Shadow and Blood (1)
After leaving Chang'an City, Qin Cheng and the others had to go to Shuofang City first, and then turn to the west. Shuofang City has been operated by Le Yi for more than two years, Qin Cheng, as a general, is in charge of the country's military affairs, so he naturally has the responsibility to see the actual situation of Shuofang City, which can be regarded as an inspection and inspection, which is also agreed with Liu Che.
Qin Cheng wanted to take fifty relatives to ride to the north, and of course the caravan didn't have to be so troublesome, so the team planned to part ways after a day together. The caravan was led by Zhang Qian and Dou Fei all the way to the west, escorted by heavy cavalry, and went straight to Jiuquan. Because of the slow speed of the caravan, there was no pressure on Qin Cheng to turn around and chase after Shuofang City.
The journey from Chang'an to Jiuquan is still relatively safe, and the Xiongnu have been unable to threaten here after migrating to Mobei, only in the territory of Guohuang, there are Hun cavalry harassing passing caravans from time to time. However, for the sake of insurance, Qin Cheng still asked Qin Qingzhi to accompany the guards with heavy horses. I only took more than 50 people to ride, plus one Huo Quai, which was faster.
On this day, Qin Cheng was saying goodbye to Dou Fei and the others, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves behind him suddenly rose, and after a while, he saw a horse hurrying over.
Everyone looked back, but they were shocked, especially the hussars, who let out a gasp.
The person who came was Liu Mu, and it was Liu Mu who did not disguise herself as a man. This made many hussar soldiers who did not know the true identity of Liu Mu and only knew that he was a deputy general, and they were confused. If it weren't for the strict military discipline, everyone would definitely be talking about it now.
"Willow ...... Miss Liu, why are you here? Qin Cheng looked at Liu Mu curiously.
"Aren't you going to the Western Regions?" Liu Mu shook his hair and looked at Qin Cheng very casually.
"yes."
"That's right, let's stop by and go together!" Liu Mu said this sentence without a red face and a heartbeat, without any pressure.
Qin Cheng laughed dryly, with a puzzled expression: "What a coincidence, it's really fate!" ”
"......" Dou Fei and others.
"Do you want to go?" Liu Mu turned a blind eye to everyone's expressions, and the horse didn't plan to get down, but urged Qin Cheng to come.
"Willow ...... The little lady of the Liu family," Dou Fei asked Liu Mu with some embarrassment, "Since you are also going to the Western Regions, do you want to go with General Qin, or with us?" ”
"Why, aren't you going together?" Liu Mu frowned, and his eyes were a little sharper when he looked at Dou Fei, and he was clearly saying: Boy, don't make fun of the old lady, otherwise you will regret it!
Dou Fei was even more embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "I'll go directly to the Western Regions, and General Qin will transfer to Shuofang......"
What Dou Fei means is that you just said that you are going to the Western Regions by the way-in fact, we all know that you are not on the way at all, just for the sake of Qincheng-so how are you going to answer now, will you be embarrassed?
Dou Fei originally intended to think about Liu Mu and take care of Liu Mu's face, but before he could speak, Liu Mu looked at him like an idiot, and then said in a tone that the whole world knew the answer: "Of course I have been with Qin Cheng all the way, do you still need to ask?" ”
"Uh......" Touching the eyes that everyone cast over him, Dou Fei suddenly wanted to slap himself, so as to advise himself not to do much in the future.
"Brother Dou, I don't really blame you, it's that people are too tough." Zhang Qian came over to comfort Dou Fei, who looked like a pig, with a sympathetic face, and patted Dou Fei's shoulder, he wanted to say something, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and he laughed and said: "Smart as Brother Dou, there is also today, haha......"
"......" Dou Fei.
.............................................
Qin Cheng and the others then took the willow wood and rushed to Shuofang City together.
When he was on the road, Liu Mu looked at Huo Qubing from time to time, but Huo Qubing never squinted after returning Liu Mu for the first time.
During the break, Liu Mu and Qin Cheng sat down next to each other, Liu Mu patted Qin Cheng, looked at Huo Quai, who was sitting on the side, and asked Qin Cheng, "Who is this little doll?" I've never seen such a person in your own army before. ”
Without waiting for Qin Cheng to speak, Huo Quai, who was about ten steps away, said: "Little lady, it's not a little doll down there!" ”
Liu Mu thought that her voice was small enough, and she didn't think that Huo Qubing still heard her words, but she didn't have the slightest sense of embarrassment, but looked at Huo Quzhi and said angrily: "The sergeant who has never been on the battlefield to kill the enemy is a little doll, I call you a little doll, do you have an opinion?" ”
Huo Quzhi frowned slightly, then glanced at Liu Mu, and then nodded and said: "The little lady has killed someone, so I won't care about you." ”
"You can see that? It's a bit of eyesight. Liu Mu was a little surprised, and then warned very old-fashioned: "Little doll is not allowed to call me little lady in the future, I used to be a general!" ”
Huo Quzhi looked at Qin Cheng inquiringly, Qin Cheng nodded, and said with a smile: "A woman disguised as a man, served in the army for several years, and was named a brave martial artist by His Majesty." ”
"I see." Huo Quzhi suddenly stood up and saluted Liu Mu, "Disrespectful!" ”
"Don't be disrespectful, it's all in the past." Liu Mu's face clearly said that I was proud and proud, but his tone was indifferent. In her mind, although she was not as good as Qincheng Weiqing, her status as a marquis was enough to make this kid in front of her awe.
"However," Huo Quzhi did not sit down immediately, there was only respect on his face, not fear, he looked at Liu Mu, and said seriously: "Yongwuhou should not call me a little doll." ”
"What, you're not satisfied?" Liu Mu suddenly felt that his military might was challenged, and his tone was not polite.
"Yes." Huo Qu said sickly, the expression on his face gradually changed to expressionless, and he looked at Liu Mu's eyes very firmly, "Veterans guard against arrogance, and recruits guard against impatience." Yong Wuhou just enlisted in the army a little earlier than Xia. ”
The previous sentence is to say that Liu Mu, a veteran, should not rely on the old and sell the old, and the latter sentence is to say that you were born a few years earlier than me, and the little brother will surpass you sooner or later.
When Liu Mu heard this, he immediately became angry, and stood up with a breath, "Do you want to test whether I have the qualifications to pose in front of you?" ”
Huo Quzhi didn't look at Liu Mu, he looked at Qin Cheng.
Qin Cheng spread his hands and said to Huo Quai: "This person is not from my hussars. ”
"Qin Cheng!" Hearing this, Liu Mu turned his head to stare at Qin Cheng, gritted his teeth and said, "You are looking for death!" ”
Qin Cheng said innocently: "Vice General Liu, will you make people think that my hussars are very undisciplined, okay?" Hussar soldiers never bullied new pawns. ”
"You ......" Liu Mu was choked up immediately. Because if he gets entangled with Huo Qubing again, he will definitely rely on the old to sell the old and bully the newcomer, and it will also ruin the reputation of the hussars.
"Okay, you're a good kid!" Liu Mu only choked for two seconds, and the embarrassment on her face disappeared, but she looked at Huo Quzhi with a smile, and the smile looked so warm, and then she said to Huo Quzhi in a tone full of hope and Dun Dun's teachings: "In the future, you can make meritorious service and become a marquis, surpassing us!" ”
"Thank you Yongwuhou!" Huo Quzhi was stunned by the sudden contrast of Liu Mu, and then hugged his fists and thanked him.
When he sat down again, Liu Mu looked at Qin Cheng with a smile, but gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "What is this kid's name?" ”
"Huo Quai." Qin Cheng immediately said.
"Good boy, I remember him!" Liu Mu said in a very low voice, it seems that he has become very afraid of Huo Qu's hearing.
Qin Cheng was about to say that you are an old general, so don't worry about a child in other people, the key is that this kid's future achievements will definitely make you unimaginable, but before the words came out, Liu Mu looked at Qin Cheng suspiciously, and said angrily: "Of course, I also remember your words today!" ”
"......" Qin Cheng only remembered at this time that reasoning with a woman was originally an unreasonable thing, and he actually wanted to use reason to persuade Liu Mu, didn't he make himself unreasonable?
After resting for a while, the group got on their horses again and hurried away.
There was nothing to say all the way, and a few days later he arrived at Shuofang City, when Le Yi was training in the military camp, Qin Cheng took Huo Qubing and Liu Mu to the military camp, and also stopped by to see how Le Yi's training results were.
"The barracks are heavy, and idle people are not allowed to trespass!" When the three of Qin Cheng were led to the barracks by the people of the post house, they were stopped by the sergeant outside the gate.
"How do you speak, do you know who this is? This is the Great Sima General! The official who led the way immediately became angry, "Why don't you ask the county guard to come out?" ”
Qin Cheng and Huo Qu were both sick with Xuanjia, and the grade of Qin Cheng's armor could be seen at a glance, but this sergeant obviously had no intention of letting go, and directly ignored the annoyance of the post house officials, but said to Qin Cheng: "Do you have a tooth card?" ”
Qin Cheng and Huo Qubing glanced at each other, and Huo Quzhi said: "General Le governs the army, and he is a great general." ”
"That's also the talent of a general from my hussars." Qin Cheng smiled proudly and handed the tooth card to the sergeant.
The sergeant saw the tooth tag clearly and hurriedly saluted, "Meet the general!" ”
After saluting, he said: "General, please wait a moment, and then I will call General Le!" With that, he turned and walked away quickly.
"Hey!" The official from the post house opened his mouth to prophesy and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the sergeant at the door.
"These people, who don't understand the rules, let the general wait here!" The official who was stopped was embarrassed and said angrily.
"It's not that they don't understand the rules, it's that you don't understand what military discipline is." Qin Cheng comforted, and then said goodbye to the official.
After a while, Le Yi hurried out of the camp.
Le Yi, who led the army alone in Shuofang County, looked even thinner, and his skin seemed to be a lot rougher, but the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot, the most obvious thing is that he is more domineering, presumably this is also the inevitable result of the main side.
"Meet the General!" Le Yi saluted Qin Cheng.
"Enter the camp!"
On that day, Qin Cheng walked around the barracks for a long time accompanied by Le Yi, and Huo Quai, who went to the border county barracks for the first time, was obviously very interested, his eyes lit up from the moment he entered the barracks, and when he followed Qin Cheng to inspect the barracks, he even took the initiative to ask many questions.
And the inspection of General Qin Cheng of the Great Sima also greatly encouraged the sergeants in the barracks.
It was not until dusk that everyone left the barracks and entered the city of Shuofang.
In Shuofang City, Yi Xue'er had already received the news and had prepared a banquet.
