At the sound of the order, the ranks stopped, and everyone gathered their weapons in case they were caught off guard in the event of an enemy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the team stopped, the mules and horses lowered their heads, cut the snow, and looked for some pasture for a change of taste.

"When I encounter an enemy, the first thing is to take off my gloves, and I remember them all!"

Xin Laoqi came back after the arrangement, and then the team set off again, heading towards Xinghe Fort.

Fang Xing touched the letter in his arms and sighed: "The imperial grandson asked me to withdraw from the army, but I am not allowed to enter the city on this return journey, and it is estimated that when I get to Beiping, half of these three thousand people can stand up." ”

Xin Laoqi agreed: "Exactly, it is already difficult for our army to go all the way, if we go back, the sergeants will be completely wasted as soon as their minds are relaxed." ”

Fang Xing nodded, feeling the excitement of the big white horse, so he gently pinched the horse's belly and rushed out.

The military transfer of the Ming Dynasty was never ordered by an imperial grandson alone, so Fang Xing bet that Zhu Zhanji was risking his risk to write this letter to himself.

So Fang Xing made a disregard attitude, this is because he doesn't want Zhu Zhanji to be criticized.

Xinghe Fort is in the middle of the sand city and the wild fox ridge, can be attacked, retreat can be defended, is currently the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty to march into the grassland.

It is said to be a fort, but in places like Saiwai, it can already be regarded as a big city. In the eyes of the Watts, Xinghe Fort is a city of wealth.

In Xinghe Fort, Zhang Yu, the official of the garrison of a thousand households, was looking at the letter in his hand with a headache, not knowing what to do.

The letter was written by Zheng Heng's subordinates, and Zheng Heng was quite cautious in this regard.

Zhang Yu was only promoted to the rank of Qianhu official when he was thirty-seven years old, but he was stationed in Xinghe Fort outside the border wall, facing the horseshoe of the grassland people.

As a garrison residence, the more than 10 wooden houses here are considered to be one of the few good buildings in the fort, and most of the others are earthen houses.

Earthen houses are fireproof, which is the best way to build in the border area.

"Let me keep them out?"

Tut!

Zhang Yu complained to his subordinates: "In this ghost place, if there is nowhere to live, isn't this a human life?" ”

Deputy Qianhu Zhao Xinbang said angrily: "They are asking my Ming sergeant to die!" Shameless! ”

And the other deputy Qianhu Yu Sanhuo said with a sad face: "But if we don't respect the order, then it is not someone else who will die." ”

In that case, Zheng Heng would most likely find an opportunity to send a few of them to death.

Dead friends don't die poor?

The thought went round and round in the minds of several people.

Zhen Fu Ma Biao pointed to the left direction, and said with a mysterious expression: "Have you forgotten the small fort you built last year?" ”

Yu Sanhuo looked confused, Zhao Xinbang had a dark face, only Zhang Yu patted his thigh, got up and said, "Good idea!" That's it! ”

As he spoke, a scout came from outside the door.

"Close the door!"

Zhang Yu was shaken by the cold wind that came in after the door opened.

The scout closed the door with his backhand, then turned around and knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, those people are almost there. ”

"Let's go, let's take a look and ......."

Xinghe Fort looked very dilapidated compared to Guannei, Fang Xing stood outside, watching the fort door open, and more than ten people walked out.

Zhang Yu, who was the leader, arched his hand from afar and said: "Your army has worked hard from afar, but it's just ......"

Fang Xing interrupted him unceremoniously: "But do you need me to wait in the wild to fend for myself?" ”

Zhang Yu said embarrassedly: "What's the matter, Xiaguan has already built a small fort ten miles away, and I Xinghe Fort are horns of each other, and please see that the Watters are approaching, and stationed there nearby." ”

Fang Xing's gaze swept behind Zhang Yu, and said lightly: "That's fine, but please also replenish food and straw materials for my department." ”

Zhang Yu smiled: "It should be, it should be." ”

There are a lot of materials in Xinghe Fort, and after Zhu Di confirmed that he was going to go north, there have been several batches of baggage here.

Fang Xing arched his hand and said: "Please also ask Lord Zhang to send someone to guide the way, if you can inform the nearby situation, then Fang will be grateful." ”

Zhang Yu said embarrassedly: "For internal affairs, the lower official will immediately arrange for someone to follow the adult." ”

Zhang Yu summoned a thin sergeant and introduced, "Fang... Sir, this person's name is Xiaodao, and he is very familiar with the surrounding situation. ”

Fang Xing frowned and looked at this sly boy, who was only in his teens, and asked, "Too young, right?" ”

Zhang Yu saw that Fang Xing was not angry because he was turned away, and his heart was relieved, and he smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Fang, don't underestimate the knife, his father used to be the little flag in our castle, but he was killed in battle when he met the tile thorns on a sentry once, and later ......."

"I'm better than any of you here!"

The cunning between the knife's eyebrows was gone, replaced by annoyance.

Zhang Yu said unswervingly: "Then so be it, Mr. Fang, it's not early, and the lower officials won't keep you." ”

Hey!

Isn't this knife being treated well by the people in the fort?

Fang Xing could figure out what it was like for an orphan to live in such a military castle, so he simply cut through the mess quickly.

"Master Zhang, does the knife have a place here?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Although he often goes out with our scouts, he is not a military member, and Mr. Fang is free to do so." ”

Fang Xing saw that Xiao Dao's eyes flashed with a desolation that did not match his age, and his heart was sour, so he said: "Since this is the case, then Xiao Dao will be my family from now on, farewell!" ”

Family here refers to an identity similar to that of a family member.

Zhang Yu said indifferently: "Mr. Fang, please." ”

Fang Xing saw that the knife was worn in tatters, so he ordered: "Old Seven, take him to change his clothes!" ”

Xiaodao looked at Fang Xing hesitantly, until Xin Laoqi came over and shouted: "This is my young master, you still don't kneel?" ”

Fang Xing was about to say that he didn't need to, but the knife cleverly knelt in the snow, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, go back and apply for the deed." ”

After being in Daming for a long time, Fang Xing knew that most people like Xiaodao wanted to sign the deed, so that they would have something to rely on in the future.

If Fang Xing didn't agree, then the knife wouldn't return to his heart, and at the same time, Xin Laoqi and they would also reject him, and even suspect him.

"I've seen the young master!"

After Xiaodao got up, he followed Xin Laoqi to the back with a smile.

When he came out again, Knife was dressed in clothes that looked a little fat, and he had a good horse.

Xin Laoqi walked over and said in a low voice: "Young master, this kid has good skills, and he is more flexible than me." ”

Fang Xing nodded, and then under the leadership of the knife, the team set off again, heading straight for the destination.

Zhang Yu went up to the city wall, looked at the team in the distance, and said to himself: "Finally sent away that nasty boy!" ”

Ma Biao, who was behind him, changed his face and asked, "My lord, which kid was sent away?" ”

Zhang Yu smiled: "It's that knife, let's finally be quiet now." ”

Ma Biao sighed and said, "He didn't steal anything......"

The knife is agile, and it is an orphan who has not eaten or not, so those mean people will scold after throwing things. And the 'thief' in their mouth is naturally a knife that goes up to the house and walks on the ground.

Zhang Yu said nonchalantly: "I can be regarded as worthy of him, that Fang Xing is a scholar, and the knife follows him, it is better than staying with us!" ”
