Chapter 26: Patrol Mutations

Panzhu Junxiu rode on horseback and saw that there were two soldiers busy by the lake, and hurriedly asked: "Zhao Ziliang, there are two soldiers by the lake, what are they doing?" ”

"Oh, they're fishing!"

"Fishing? Ha, fun! That general is going to take a look, drive! Panzhu Junxiu said and ran over with a clip on the horse's belly, and the four female guards followed behind. She was born in a royal family, grew up with a golden key, and was pampered since she was a child, and she didn't know anything about farming, working, fishing and hunting, but she had heard of it, and now she can see fishing, of course, she has a strong curiosity.

"Hey, princess!" Zhao Ziliang screamed, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only ride his horse to follow.

When they came to the lake, the two fishing soldiers saw Zhao Ziliang and a beautiful female general riding over, and they both stopped and saluted: "Deputy castle master!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and signaled: "No need to be polite, this is the princess of Shule Kingdom and the general of Panzhu Junxiu, she came to see you fishing, you don't have to worry about us, we just have a look."

"Yes!" After the two soldiers finished speaking, they continued to fish, and the two fishing nets were cast, and after waiting for a while, they began to collect the nets, and when the fishing nets were pulled up little by little, some of the fish jumped out of the water from time to time, and some of the fish were stuck in the fishing nets and could not break free.

Panzhu Junxiu was amazed to see it, and when she saw so many white-flowered fish, she shouted excitedly for a while. The people of Shule mainly grow wheat, corn and other grains, supplemented by grazing, and rarely engage in fishing and hunting, and basically do not know how to fish, and the people who can fish in Anxi are all Han people who have been degraded from all over the Central Plains. Therefore, not to mention seeing others fishing, Panzhu Junxiu has never even eaten fish.

"Wow, that's beautiful! Zhao Ziliang, send me a few fish, okay? I'll take it back to my father and mother, and they will be very happy," Panzhu Junxiu squatted on the edge of the basket like a little girl, watching the big and small fish in it keep bouncing.

Zhao Ziliang said helplessly: "The princess can pick at will, but this fish can't leave the water, and if it leaves the water for more than a certain hour, it will die, so if the princess wants to take a few back, she must fill the container with water, and then put the fish in, and change the water every once in a while!" ”

"Oh, I see!" Panzhu Junxiu looked suddenly enlightened, thought about it and asked, "Can this fish only be watched?" ”

Zhao Ziliang was really speechless for a while, but when people asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he explained: "Of course not, fish is also food, and it is very delicious after cooking, for example, this kind of big fish, not only the meat is smooth and tender, but the soup is also very delicious, and the injured person will get better faster if he eats some fish and drinks some fish soup."

Panzhu Junxiu heard the beautiful ripples in his eyes, clapped his finger at one of the three-pound fish and shouted: "Then if I want to eat fish, I will eat this!" ”

There were no good things in the camp, only fish and some prey could be handled, and Zhao Ziliang was also ready to entertain Panzhu Junxiu with fish and game at noon. Listening to her words, Zhao Ziliang turned his head to Zheng San and said, "San'er, take this big fish, pick a few bigger ones and take them to the back kitchen, and let the guy cook them well!" ”

"Yes, Deputy Castle Master!"

At noon, Zhao Ziliang called out to all the officers above the rank of chief that there were nearly 20 people in his big tent, who sat down on both sides, and the soldiers took turns to bring fish meat, fish soup and game.

Zhao Ziliang held a wine glass filled with tea and said to nearly 20 officers such as Panzhu Junxiu, Huo Kan, He Zhong, Wei Meng, etc.: "Princess, everyone, today welcome the princess to come to inspect the defense, Huo and He and other brothers are new, from now on we will also join us, we were brothers before, now we are still brothers, closer than before, Zhao welcomes you with tea instead of wine!" ”

"Thank you, Deputy Castle Master!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

Some of the people called Zhao Ziliang's official position, and some called him his military rank, and the tent was lively for a while, and Panzhu Junxiu had already feasted on a plate of roasted fish at this time.

Huo Kan, He Zhong and the other elders who just came had eaten the fish sent by Zhao Ziliang, but they had not eaten the game, the game itself was small, and the patrol team would shoot a few when they encountered it, and Zhao Ziliang did not have many here, so they did not send it to Tuoyunbao, and now Huo Kan and He Zhongren are eating one by one with their mouths full of oil.

He ate a piece of venison and said: "Deputy Castle Master, we always thought that you would definitely have a hard time here, but we didn't expect that there are not only fish here, but also meat, and this day is comfortable!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water', food is everywhere, it depends on whether we can take it, if we don't have fishing nets, there are no soldiers who can fish, we can't eat fish, if we don't hunt, there is no meat to eat, this is indeed a bitter cold place, but the bitter cold land is not an inch of grass, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it, you can live well!" ”

Huo Kan smiled: "It seems that we will follow the deputy castle master in the future, and we will have a good life!" Come on, come on, let's toast the general and the deputy lord of the fort."

When lunch was about to end, Panzhu Junxiu suddenly said, "Zhao Ziliang, I heard that you arranged for two men and horses to patrol north along the two directions of the lake?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Yes, doesn't the princess know?" ”

"General Ben wants to go and see the situation and route of your patrol, you accompany General Ben on a trip!" Panzhu Junxiu's tone of voice could not be rejected at all, and he completely ignored Zhao Ziliang's feelings.

However, Zhao Ziliang knew the temper of this ancestor, and he didn't care about her in general, since she wanted to go to see it, he could only agree, "Okay, the princess is willing to go, and her subordinates should lead the way for the princess, but the princess will promise his subordinates that he can only inspect the north bank of Qingshui Lake, and can't go further north, sixty or seventy miles north is the Pearl River, and there are several tribes of Turgish grazing on the south bank of the Pearl River, and it is not safe to enter the territory of the Turgish people!" ”

Panzhu Junxiu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, General Ben knows, General Ben has finished eating, you eat quickly!" ”

What else can Zhao Ziliang say, he can only be speechless!

After lunch, Panzhu Junxiu couldn't wait to set off with her four female guards, and Zhao Ziliang took Zheng San to chase after him on horseback, and soon caught up.

Although it is located in a plateau area, the terrain around Qingshui Lake is indeed flat, with only occasional small hills, which does not affect the observation of the eye.

Panzhu Junxiu may have never ridden a horse in such a wide field of vision, but he actually galloped all the way from the camp to the north shore of Qingshui Lake, and there was a heart-warming chuckle as he galloped, and he seemed to be in an extremely happy mood.

When he arrived at the north shore of Qingshui Lake, Zhao Ziliang chased after Panzhu Junxiu and shouted: "Princess, this is already the northernmost area of our patrol, don't go any further!" ”

"Hahaha, fun, fun, go further!" Where can Panzhu Junxiu listen to Zhao Ziliang's words, just ride the horse and gallop wildly, her horse is a good horse, it is not comparable to the ordinary war horse that Zhao Ziliang rides, Zhao Ziliang can only follow her ass and eat ashes.

finally tried to persuade her with great effort, but it made her extremely unhappy, and reluctantly reined in the horse and slowly stopped.

However, at this moment, a group of bison in front of them came into the sight of the two, and Zheng San and the four female guards behind also chased after them at this time, but when Panzhu Junxiu saw the group of bison, he immediately became excited, took out the bow from the bow bag, and rode his horse towards the herd of bison.

"Princess!" Zhao Ziliang was in a hurry, so he could only ride his horse again to catch up.

At this time, a team of cavalry suddenly came out from two miles away, seeing that the number of cavalry was no less than sixty horses, the costume was the cavalry of a certain tribe of Tucai, Zhao Ziliang's face suddenly changed drastically, and while riding a horse and chasing wildly, he shouted: "Princess, come back quickly!" ”
