The caravan marched into the evening and stopped at the foot of a hill to rest. There is no barrier of the Amma River here, and crossing this mountain is already a nomadic range controlled by the Tuoba clan, for the nomads, they never pay attention to the territory, and the number is sparse, that is, the Eastern Xia has a strong sense of territory, and Bo Dalu has set up several outposts and beacon towers in this generation, and has been idle for several years.

The sun from the west is gradually blocked by the mountains and forests, and it falls a thousand feet of darkness, but it raises thousands of golden rays above people's heads. Walking on the desert or grassland, it is necessary to remember where to get water, and everyone also depends on the water source, and the soldiers go to the mountain spring to receive water, change the water, and begin to settle the simple camp. Dong Guozhang, who woke up from sleep, opened his eyes and found that the lights had been lit in Dia Bird's car, and he was about to say a few words unexpectedly, when he found that Dia Bird had a large number of pages spread out in front of him, as well as a piece of origami paper one by one, and others were lying on top of him looking for something.

Dong Guozhang was still questioning what he was doing, Di Ah Niao had already turned his head and said softly: "If the old man dozes off and sleeps for a while, it will be dark in the car, I am in a hurry to find something before I light the light, and I will go outside later." ”

The ice leopard that stood in front of him galloped back from the front, and reported outside, Di Ah Niao didn't seem to hear it, Dong Guozhang reminded on his behalf: "Ah Bird." Someone is calling you out there. ”

Dia Bird let out an "oh" and said first: "There should be nothing to do on the road ahead, don't pay attention to them." After saying a word, he picked up a pen, vertically folded paper, added something to it, and recited the words while adding strokes: "The most important thing in the national examination is to pick up talents, how dare you leak the test questions, investigate them thoroughly, and severely punish them." In addition, government and legal professionals are required to draw up a preventive measure. The military attache examination can be relaxed slightly, but it must not be cheated, and it must be eliminated......"

Dong Guozhang hung his ears, turned over and lay down for a while, but there was his chatter in his ears.

Turning his head, Dia Niao was talking to himself while drawing a pen: "Originally, the military attache should be able to read books and texts, but as for the art of war and tactics, there is no limit to the literary examination, otherwise the students will take advantage of it, but they are all talking on paper and forcing the soldiers to cheat." Soldiers from the army, expeditions, stepping on corpses and blood, risking white blades, it is already a test, Xi Wen is a difficult thing, if Lai Wen is promoted, wouldn't it be sad? The test questions should be considered again and again, and they should still be based on military merits. ”

Dong Guozhang's sleepiness was completely gone, and "Hulong" sat up and asked, "Ah Bird." What is the National Exam? ”

Dia Bird let out an "oh" and replied, "The old man continues to sleep." Don't care what the national test is or not. You fall asleep first, just be alone, and then go out. ”

Dong Guozhang was concerned about the rights and wrongs of other countries, and when he told him to leave it alone, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Well said, let me sleep, why do I sleep when you think about it there?" ”

Dia Bird suddenly realized, quickly stroked the pen, and after a while, put down the pen and said, "Go out alone." ”

He blew out the lights and got out.

Dong Guozhang turned over and got up, ran to his bookcase, looked at the book at the bottom, and the pages that were turned were either public opinion or hand drawings, and then secretly picked up the fold, opened a book to see, and then opened a book to see, all of them were straightforward books, with Zhu Pi on the top, sometimes, this Zhu Pi was more than his text with typos, and the red fly's head was densely packed, because it was not related to the war, plus his eyes were dazzled, Dong Guozhang was not interested, just knelt there and muttered: " Why is this kid so diligent? ”

He compared the stack of origami papers, looked for it again, and found a stack of manuscripts nearby, looked at the red pen, as if Dia Niao wrote it himself, hooked it very grassy, flipped it a few times, and only saw the "adjustment of the political cabinet", he put it down again after a while, or it was not related to the war?

Didn't he plan to fight at all?

Why is there no word of war?

Dong Guozhang climbed back, hung a large piece of paper on his knee, grabbed it and put it under the original ruler to look at it, it looked like a map, but it was a little strange, marked with place names and arrows...... Maps, yes, maps. Dong Guozhang was nervous all of a sudden, and then he looked up, there was a big arc on it, and a red arrow went straight in one direction, but he didn't know where this direction was...... Looking at the place names again, some of them are not Yongwen, and none of them are familiar with it. He scolded hatefully: "This kid doesn't want people to peek at him. ”

He lay back and tossed and turned.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said to himself: "This kid is so treacherous, he left me and ran out at this time, will he deliberately let me peek?" Shouldn't he have come to steal books from Jiang Gan and treat me as that Jiang Gan? ”

He wasn't sure about it, and he became more and more irritable.

When I was irritable, I listened nervously to the outside of the car, and someone outside the car shouted: "Hey." You see. What's the smoke on the mountain? Did this light the fire? Or is it the sun shining? ”

Then someone else spoke: "Ahh Which?! ”

The man quickly asked, "It can't be a beacon, right?" ”

Immediately afterward, he shouted and asked, "Do we have a beacon in that direction?" He almost roared: "Who knows? Who knows? ”

The voice of the ice leopard Dong Guozhang is still familiar, this Praetorian Guard leader has been beside Diao, and he has heard a lot of voices, he is saying loudly: "What are you shouting?" Send your men to see it. ”

It can't really be a beacon, right? Dong Guozhang said in his heart. He was so weak that he didn't dare to climb out at once, so he told himself that he would go out again when they called me, so that I would fall asleep again. Dia Bird's voice also sounded, but he was quite calm: "Didn't the people around me do their homework?" Is there a beacon tower that I don't know? Don't you have a map of Baolan in the Eastern Xia Kingdom? ”

After a few moments, someone confirmed: "There is a beacon." The king should avoid it. ”

Outside, there was no sound.

For a long time, no one outside was silent, only a few occasional horse roars and the impact and shaking of armor and weapons, until Di Axue's voice sounded: "Brother." I'll go see the scholar. ”

Diao's voice was filled with joy: "Go." It's time to go. Go for it. ”

There was a sudden oppressive silence.

Diao seemed to be standing on the side of the carriage, not moving, and the sound of a warning sounded in the distance.

Dong Guozhang was a little unbearable.

But he felt that the enemy would still not come, and he ran a dead horse on the mountain, and now he only saw the beacon fire on the top of the mountain, and he still tried his best to pretend to be asleep, and the pain of pretending to sleep was obvious, especially when he wanted to know what Dia Bird was doing, what he was thinking, and why there was no sound for a long time.

Dia Bird finally spoke again, as if to give an order: "The beacon fire has been nine in a row. This is a major enemy attack. If there is a big attack, there will be a ranger first. What about the lonely armor. Lone's weapons and armor were brought. Guard the wagon. The old man in the car came all the way to see me, don't have an accident, the books in the car are very important, and you can't fall into the hands of the enemy. Tooth pig, you are the fastest to know if there is a beacon in that direction, you don't need to drive the carriage, as a reward, I now authorize you, you can arrange the retreat route. ”

The toothed pig was shouting, "King." What about my meritorious service, my meritorious service? You're not really going to drive the carriage for me, are you? ”

Dong Guozhang suddenly remembered that this person was actually the co-pilot of the big carriage he was riding.

Outside, Dia Bird laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if the king can't speak." Good. After you make meritorious contributions, I will give you a car. In addition, Lone also promised to promote you to be a collar. ”

The ice leopard objected, saying, "He's just a quasi-gand." ”

Tooth Pig yelled, "What's wrong with Zhun Jian? The king asked me to arrange it, but I still don't arrange it? ”

He said, "I want to set an example for us high-ranking people. Right. King. ”

He immediately changed his identity and said loudly, "Where is Di Heihu? You take someone to protect the carriage. Commander of Diamond Ice, you are responsible for protecting the King and Princess Snow. I've already seen it on the map, and there are eight households to the south, and there are eight families of people, so let's evacuate there first. With the beacon fire, the soldiers of the Baolan garrison may be able to arrive in a few hours, and we will meet them there. Good. Prepare separately. Let's go. ”

Diao's demand: "You have all heard. ”

After the neat sound of "order", there was a "bang" of armor and footsteps, probably ready to go.

The bird and the pig stayed by the carriage to talk.

Dia Bird said, "Tooth pig." It's time to let you out of the cage, show your fangs, and fight your way. Since then, there are no slave pigs in this world, only the generals of Dongxia and the elites cultivated by the Liuhe Academy. Lonely waiting. To give. I have half a dog talisman here, and the other half at the Diamond Ice Leopard. ”

inside.

Dong Guozhang couldn't help but turn over and said secretly: "There are dog talismans in their country's talismans." ”

Outside, the tooth pig gritted his teeth and said, "Great king." I really feel fortunate that I came to Dongxia with a gritted tooth and a tiger in my arms. It's been five years, and at first I was still thinking, you must hate me, don't believe me, so you don't plan to reuse me, but I don't hate you either, when I followed Huchen, there were too many hateful places, too much, you gave me a way to live, let me live and work in Dongxia, I am grateful. But later, I found that every training camp had me, and other bulls envied me, so I knew, so I secretly swore that I would wait for this day, the day when the king released me out of the cage. I want to tell others that my surname is not Yehe, my surname is Sauron, my surname is Dongxia, and I am Dongxia Sauron's tooth pig, and I want to be a sharp knife in the hands of the king, so that the enemies of the king and the enemies of Dongxia will be afraid. ”

Dia Bird only said lightly: "Don't let go of nonsense." Don't forget the first thing in the horse infantry army drill code, immediately check your clothes, armor, weapons, bows, arrows and horses, and don't want your future generals to be careless. ”
