A bright moon shines in the sky, dotted with stars dotted with dark nights.

Western suburbs, tree-lined trails.

An army winds like a snake, slowly marching from afar.

A group of soldiers in armor and cloaks orderly surrounded the carriages full of goods in the center.

These soldiers are all armed with spears and swords, they walk neatly, do not smile, and between their gestures, a solemn aura spreads invisibly.

This army did not have a banner, but it was not difficult to tell who the leader of the army was.

At the forefront of the army, a short-haired general riding a tall horse, dressed in silver armor and black robes, wearing a steel helmet and bird feathers, with a resolute and indifferent face.

He is Zhang Xutuo!

I saw Zhang Xutuo directing the army to march with an indifferent expression, and all the soldiers under his command ordered the prohibition and marched neatly.

He was a high-ranking general who had commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, and now he was only in command of a small army of 500 men, which was nothing more than a matter of rebellion for him.

He even felt that it was overkill, and the task of escorting supplies was actually entrusted to a leader like him.

His blades, his horses, are used to kill the enemy, not to deliver darts!

Therefore, from the beginning of his departure, he has always been angry in his heart.

However, if it is not uneven, he does not dare to have any dissatisfaction.

Because, the person assigned this mission is the first general of the Great Sui, and it is Yang Su, the Duke of Chu who is under one person and above ten thousand.

After quelling Yang Liang's rebellion, Yang Su's prestige in the army has reached a peak, and it is no exaggeration to say that none of the millions of people in the Great Sui army can match it.

Zhang Xutuo is also convinced of Yang Su.

However, it is one thing to be convinced, and quite another to be dissatisfied.

Why are you dissatisfied?

Yang Su ostensibly assigned Zhang Xutuo full authority to escort the goods, but in fact he secretly sent a woman to the army to give advice.

Zhang Xutuo's machismo is quite serious, he has always looked down on women, and even among today's men, there are only a handful of people who can convince him sincerely, not to mention a woman.

Therefore, Zhang Xutuo has always stayed away from this woman, if he can't see her, he won't see her, and out of sight is pure.

However, what Zhang Xutuo couldn't control was that the woman he didn't want to see had been thinking about coming to see him.

For example, at this moment, a red breeze dressed like fire, did not hesitate to ride his horse to the front from the rear of the army.

"General Zhang, if it is late today, the army should not march excessively, I think it is necessary to camp on the spot to recover physical strength, and it is appropriate to wait for the soldiers to rest and recuperate."

As soon as Hongfu's words spoke, Zhang Xutuo's brows twisted into a ball.

Zhang Xutuo actually didn't want to deal with Hongfu at all, but for the sake of Yang Su's face, he had to put down his posture.

Despite this, he didn't have a good face to blush, and said coldly: "Do you know how far this trip will go, it is only half a day of marching at the moment, and we will have to camp and rest, if we continue like this, when will our army reach its destination?" ”

"With all due respect, Yang Gong has given us plenty of time for this mission, and it is not difficult to understand that we want to ensure that this batch of goods arrives safely, and it is not a big problem to be early or late." ”

Zhang Xutuo said coldly: "In the woman's opinion, do you dare to say that Yang Gong doesn't want us to complete the task earlier and arrive at the destination one day earlier?" ”

"This ......" Hongfu's face froze.

"You listen to me, I'll just say it once." Zhang Xutuo glanced at her deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you have to do with Yang Gong, I am the commander of this army, and all the actions of this army are only under my command, and others, anyone, are not qualified to dictate!" ”

Hongfu said with a pale face: "General Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?" You say that, where do you put Yang Gong? ”

Zhang Xutuo said: "I have always respected Yang Gong, and I also admire Yang Gong's rewards and punishments the most, you don't have to sow discord here, I will complete this task as quickly as possible, if Yang Gong really wants to blame me for this, I Zhang Xutuo has nothing to say!" ”

Red Whisk said angrily: "You ......"

Zhang Xutuo interrupted coldly: "You'd better shut up, you might as well confront the main general during the march, do you know what a sin this is?" Don't think you're a woman, I won't use military law! ”

The red whisk was not lightly angry, pulled the reins, turned around and left.

When the red whisk rode back to the rear of the army, Li Jing greeted him as soon as possible.

Li Jing saw that her expression was different, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, who is so bold that they dare to provoke you?" Tell me, I'll clean him up! ”

Hongfu glanced at him and said, "Zhang Xutuo, do you dare to clean him up?" ”

Li Jing let out an "ah", with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly asked, "How could General Zhang provoke you, what is going on?" ”

Hongfu told what happened just now, and after finishing speaking, seeing that Li Jing was silent, he immediately said unhappily: "Didn't someone just say that he was going to clean up the people who provoked me, how long has it been, and he has forgotten it so soon?" ”

Li Jing sneered and said, "If ordinary people provoke you, I can naturally help you clean it up, but General Zhang ......"

"Hmph, ordinary people have provoked me, do you still need to clean it up? Won't I do it myself? Hongfu snorted coldly: "This Zhang Xutuo, he didn't take me in his eyes from beginning to end, wait, I want him to look good sooner or later!" ”

Li Jing persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's not good to move the liver, Chang Huan has said that angry women are easy to get old, and the wrinkles on their faces will increase!" ”

Red flicked his eyes and said, "Do you believe what he said casually?" ”

"Believe, why don't you believe it, don't you think he has a lot of things to say, and they all make sense?" Li Jing said.

Hongfu pondered: "After you say this, it is true, although he is young, the words he says are quite meaningful, and they are not in line with his age at all. ”

"Don't look at Chang Huan and despise him at a young age, the young man is talking about people like him." Li Jing smiled slightly, and then suddenly sighed: "Now that I'm not here, I don't know if he can stay alone in the barracks." ”

Red Breeze Yin and Yang said strangely: "What's the matter, it's only been so long since we were separated, and I miss him?" ”

Li Jing was speechless, and before he could figure out how to pick up the stubble, he suddenly heard a loud shout of killing in front of him.

"What's the situation?" Li Jing was taken aback, and glanced at each other with Hongfu.

Hongfu subconsciously touched his chest, took out a sachet from his arms and threw it to Li Jing, and said, "Hide it, don't lose it, I'll go to the front and have a look!" ”

Li Jing drove forward immediately and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you!" ”

Hongfu said indiscriminately: "No, you stay, remember to keep what I gave you, drive!" With that, he rode away.

Li Jing held the sachet with the lingering fragrance of the beautiful woman, staring at the red shadow that disappeared into the night, his face was full of worry.

"Out of the dust, you must not have anything to do!"
