Chapter 41: The Return
Chapter 41: The Return
Looking at the shadow of the stone castle on the mountain, Gongzi Wei Xing was very excited, and rode a war horse and shouted loudly: "I, back, come!" ”
It's been more than four months of thrilling bumps back and forth, and now it's almost autumn, Gongzi Wei Xing has never left this area for so long, and he misses every grass and tree in Phoenix Fort very much, and he misses everyone in Phoenix Fort very much!
"We're back, we're back、、、、、、"
More than thirty cavalrymen from Phoenix Fort also shouted excitedly, sped up their horses, and galloped towards their homeland.
More than 500 new men were very envious and full of longing for the place where they would live in the future.
The people of Phoenix Fort on the mountain had already noticed their whereabouts, and now they found out up close that it was the people and horses brought back by Gongzi, and they were all boiling!
Some people hurriedly opened the city gate and rode horses to greet them enthusiastically.
"Uncle Meng Ping, hello! The leg injury has healed, right? Gongzi Wei Xing asked excitedly.
"Thanks to my son, I have been better for more than a month! I hope you return safely every day, you are finally back! Meng Ping also looked very excited.
"Uncle Meng Ping, how is the situation over there in Migu?" After the excitement, Gongzi Wei Xing immediately worried about the situation on the Migu side.
"The situation is very complicated, I can't finish talking about it for a while, and I'll talk to you in detail when I enter the stone castle."
found that Uncle Meng Ping's face was quite calm, which made Gongzi Wei Xing very relieved, and the crisis in Migu should not have completely broken out.
"Okay, Uncle Meng Ping! You first let the cavalry left behind in the stone fort lead more than 200 horses out to pick up the rear convoy, and the newcomers over there are all taking turns walking all the way, which is quite hard! Gongzi Wei Xing commanded seriously.
Along the way, the Hu tribe that passed by successively exchanged more than 300 horses that were still about to be completed, speeding up the march of everyone, but there were still about 200 newcomers without horses, so they had to take turns walking back and forth with other newcomers with horses.
There are also many wild horses wandering in the Western Regions, but the wild horses are not artificially tamed for a period of time, and it is easy to lose their temper when they are caught, and they fall and injure the rider;
Even horsemen with great equestrian skills could not avoid this situation.
Because of this, Gongzi Wei Xing and his party were too lazy to catch the wild horses that occasionally appeared in their sight, and it was useless to work hard.
、、、、、、
After Meng Ping and Xiahou Zhu hugged tightly, they asked suspiciously, "Xiahou, I seem to have found that your aura and strength seem to be stronger than before?" ”
"Of course, I must touch the bottleneck of the grandmaster one step ahead of that kid in Huyan! I, Xiahou Zhu, must be the number one grandmaster of Phoenix Castle! Xiahou Zhu replied confidently.
Xiahou Zhu's obvious progress was related to the many fierce battles he experienced on the way, and a large part of the reason was that on the way back, he quietly took some medicinal herbs that were very valuable for the year.
His own medicinal herb has been secretly consumed by himself with six plants, so many plants, only the last five plants are left!
In other words, Xiahou Zhu had already secretly consumed medicinal materials worth about seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
The Western Regions are vast, and there are many precious medicinal materials, but once they are a hundred years old, they are generally priceless and difficult to see in the market.
The six medicinal herbs that Xiahou Zhu devoured were all precious medicinal herbs for hundreds of years, and each one was worth no less than 1,000 taels of silver.
If Granny Hua in the stone castle knew about his actions, he would definitely be scolded to death, and more than half of the medicinal power would be wasted by his savage eating method!
Regarding the entanglement and dissatisfaction between Xiahou Zhu and Huyan Leopard, Meng Ping never participated, nor did he want to intervene, so he nodded his head, focused on the body of those recruits, and said with satisfaction: "The quality of these three hundred recruits is not bad, they are all quite strong. ”
"Then look at who trained along the way, my Xiahou Zhu's subordinates have never been cowardly!" Xiahou Zhu deliberately boasted to himself.
Meng Ping glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Xiahou, if it is a martial arts competition, we still alive secret guards are not as good as you and Huyan; But when it comes to the art of war, I 、、、、、、 with Zhang Hua."
Xiahou Zhu suddenly remembered that Meng Ping and Zhang Hua were the best experts in training soldiers among their group, and felt that he seemed to have made an axe in front of Luban's door, bragging and boasting, a little embarrassed, and before Meng Ping finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Meng Ping, I still have something, go first!" ”
Before the words fell, he had already jumped on the war horse and ran!
"Sample, let you be scared, you actually brag about the art of war in front of me Meng Ping, see if you dare to brag in the future!" Meng Ping glanced at Xiahou Zhu's back and muttered a few words proudly.
Half an hour later, all the horses and convoys settled down in the stone fort one by one under the command of Tang Zhongwei;
After that, according to the rules of Phoenix Castle, all the people who came to the bath room had to wash their shoulders cleanly and change into some new clothes.
This unquestionable rule made these newcomers very uncomfortable, and they resisted a little in their hearts, thinking that the people of Phoenix Fort disliked them for being unclean.
The more than 30 veterans who came back a little earlier were used to taking a shower every day, and their whole bodies were clean, and these days made them uncomfortable to death!
For more than four months, they only had the opportunity to refresh themselves once when they encountered a water source.
When they returned to the stone castle, they immediately rushed to the bathhouse, lying comfortably in the hot water of sixty or seventy degrees, enjoying the comfort they had dreamed of for many days.
The newlyweds took off their clothes one after another, walked in slowly, and saw the hot mist, but did not dare to step into the bathhouse pool.
Some bold newcomers carefully put their legs in, but they suddenly pulled out, thinking that the water was too hot!
It is no wonder that these newcomers are like this, except for taking a few cold baths in the summer, they have no chance to enjoy the qualifications for hot baths in the manor of the former great family.
Taking a hot bath for the first time in my life, I was inevitably a little timid.
In fact, when a person's skin gradually adjusts to the temperature of the hot water, they will no longer feel hot and panicked.
Taking a hot bath is like this, and inexperienced people will inevitably feel a little hesitant and nervous.
In fact, it is no wonder that each of them is inherently reluctant and apprehensive about the first time they come into contact with something unfamiliar;
Some people are just a little more obvious, some people are not obvious!
These slaves have lived in a very narrow area since childhood, and in their cognition, such steaming water is the boiling water that everyone usually drinks, and the meat will of course be cooked in it, so they dare not step into the pool at will.
"Rookies, don't show these reluctant looks! If you stay for a long time, you will like it, and you will earn money to come to the bath every day. ”
"Yes! Rookies, let's get in the water, it's very comfortable! ”
"Rookies, don't be stunned, there are a lot of people in Stone Fort today, and the bath room may not be enough, so hurry up!"
"Yes, rookies, hurry up and get into the water, don't waste other people's time!"
、、、、、、
More than 30 veterans joked with great interest, but Gongzi Wei Xing ignored the bad taste of these veterans, and took a bath and enjoyed it comfortably.
At this time, Ning Zhenhu also walked in nakedly, jumped into the pool suddenly, showed his head and said, "It's a little hot!" ”
"The head of the dart, it's not the water heat, but you just came, and the temperature is just right!" A veteran next to him explained with a smile.
Ning Zhenhu also felt that what he said was good, turned his head to the newcomer by the pool, and scolded with contempt: "Give it to Lao Tzu, shameful waste!" ”
"You can't burn others, is it true that hot water is so fond of you, does it have to burn you?"
Most of the men among the newcomers felt embarrassed and panicked, and they couldn't stand the scolding of Mr. Ning's darthead, so they had to reluctantly bite the bullet and carefully step into the pond.
Some people held back, some blushed and screamed and pulled back their thighs, slowly adapting back and forth.
After a few minutes, most of the newcomers in the bath room had adjusted to the temperature in the pool.
"Lao Tzu said, if you can't burn it, others can't burn it, and you poor ghosts who don't want to be retracted! When Lao Tzu goes back, he must also build a bath room, Lao Tzu likes this comfortable feeling too much! Ning Zhenhu shouted loudly, and scolded the twenty or thirty newcomers who had not entered the water: "If you don't come down again, Lao Tzu will castrate your life, throw it into the woman's bath, and be a girl!" ”
Whether it is a newcomer who has entered the water or a newcomer who has not entered the water, he felt blushing and ashamed when he was scolded by Mr. Ning.
The newcomer who had already entered the water thought that he had just been frightened by a pool of hot water, which was too embarrassing!
The newcomers who have not yet entered the water think that most of them have already entered the water, and they are stumped by a pool of hot water, which is too embarrassing for their manly self-esteem!
In the end, the remaining twenty or thirty newcomers were very ashamed and helpless, so they had to show a difficult look of rushing to the execution ground, gritted their teeth and closed their eyes, and threw themselves into the pool pitifully, tossing back and forth with their hands.
Gongzi Wei Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw them with a painful look of going to hell and going to disaster, thinking it was so funny, taking a hot bath was like going to the Dharma field once.
、、、、、、
After taking a bath, Gongzi Wei Xing found that Uncle Meng Ping and Uncle Zhong Wei had already been waiting in the conference hall, and said with some apologies: "Two uncles, please introduce the situation of Phoenix Castle, how is Migu now?" Is there a crisis of exposure? ”
Tang Zhongwei squinted casually and replied, "Childe, during this period of time, three different groups of forces have quietly come to the vicinity of the lake, all of which are quietly looking for the so-called treasure. ”
"More than a month ago, more than a dozen Hu people stumbled upon Neigu on the lake and broke in!"
"What? Broke in, how is it now? Gongzi Wei Xing was startled, stood up suddenly, and asked hurriedly.
"Childe, don't worry! We quietly got rid of these dozen uninvited guests!" Meng Ping comforted.
"It's strange that more than a dozen Hu people have disappeared, and the forces where they are are aren't desperately looking for them along their tracks? Has Migu been exposed now? Gongzi Wei Xing couldn't calm down at this time, and asked anxiously.
