Chapter 90: Walking on the Water

Jia Qi wrote down what Gao Huaiyuan said one by one, and promised to give feedback to Fu Daquan as soon as possible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two of them sat in the house and talked for a long time, listening to the sound of the watch on the street, it was already the third watch, Gao Huaiyuan stood up and said: "Let's talk about this today, let Liao San do it for me, be sure to find out what these people rely on to make a fortune, I don't believe that they can do it without leakage, and the paper can't hold the fire, I must find out their sore feet!" These people don't take me seriously, and they really me off! ”

Jia Qi nodded again and agreed, sent Gao Huaiyuan out, and asked Gao Huaiyuan casually, "It's so late, where is the young master going back to live?" I won't return to the camp! ”

Gao Huaiyuan replied casually: "I won't go back to the camp tonight, I'll go back early tomorrow morning!" ”

While they were talking, they suddenly heard the man in the street shouting, "Gone out of the water!" The south of the city is water! ”

Gao Huaiyuan and Jia Qi were taken aback, so they turned their heads to look in the direction of the south of the city, only to see that the sky in the south of the city was red, obviously there was a fire burning somewhere there, and they could even smell a trace of smoke in the air.

Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, where could such a big fire be burned? At this time, Jia Qi was more sensitive than him, and suddenly asked urgently: "Isn't that Phoenix Mountain over there?" Isn't the Protector camp in that direction? ”

Gao Huaiyuan only felt that his head buzzed, and he was a little dizzy, because he thought that what Jia Qi said was right, that direction happened to be the direction of the Saint Protector Army camp, could it be that the Saint Protector Army camp was on fire? If the Protector camp caught fire, what would have happened? Gao Huaiyuan didn't dare to think about it below.

Now he is the commander of the Holy Protector Army, and it is not too much of a problem to go to the water in general, he is just reprimanded, but what he is most afraid of is that he is not in the camp at this time, and there is any conflict between his own people and Liu Bentang's people, in that case, it will be tantamount to a mutiny, and he, the master, will not be able to escape the responsibility, even if it calms down, he will lose his official position and resign, and he may even lose his head.

So he didn't dare to delay any longer, turned on his horse, rushed out directly from Judge, and galloped in the direction of the Holy Protector.

When he rode his horse and ran a distance, from the light of the fire in the sky, he began to determine the approximate location of the fire, which should be the direction of his Saint Protector Army camp, at this time the fire began to get bigger, Gao Huaiyuan's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, why did the Saint Protector Army camp catch fire at this time? So he galloped in the direction of the Protector camp.

A group of infantry officers and soldiers patrolling the city were also watching in the direction of the camp of the Holy Protector Army on the street, and were pointing and talking about the fire, when suddenly they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the street, so everyone immediately became alert, they were stationed in the outer city, like this time, ordinary people could not ride horses on the street, and this was still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could they ride horses like this?

So they immediately blocked the street, and pointed their swords and guns in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

"Who dares to ride a horse in the city so late? Don't stop me yet, don't blame me for being rude if you don't stop! An officer stepped forward and shouted to Gao Huaiyuan, who was running over.

Gao Huaiyuan shouted loudly on the horse: "This official is the commander of the Holy Protector Army, Gao Huaiyuan, and if you don't let me get out of the way, this official will rush back to the camp of the Holy Protector Army!" ”

As soon as the soldiers of the infantry division shone with lanterns and torches, Gao Huaiyuan had already ridden his horse to their approach, and the yellow horse neighed and was pulled to a stop by Gao Huaiyuan.

With the help of the light, everyone saw that the person on the horse was wearing civilian clothes, and the official immediately ordered his soldiers to put away their swords and guns, and stepped forward with their fists clenched and said, "It turned out to be a tall man!" Xia Guan Ma Zongzhuang, I don't know if it's a tall adult, it's delaying the adult's affairs! ”

Gao Huaiyuan took a look at the horse, he was still an old acquaintance, it turned out to be the Ma Dutou he met at the city gate, Ma Dutou had also helped him find Liu Er's whereabouts before, and he was a person with a little friendship. It's been a long time! Now I look like I'm walking in the direction of the camp of the Holy Protector Army, I want to rush back to the camp as soon as possible, and I'll drink with Brother Ma another day, please let me go first! ”

This Ma Dutou has now been promoted to the position of commander, but compared with Gao Huaiyuan, his current status can be said to be very low, where dare to stop Gao Huaiyuan from making friends, quickly ordered people to separate a road, let Gao Huaiyuan pass, Gao Huaiyuan thanked him, and once again hit the horse and rushed towards the direction of the Holy Protector.

These soldiers smacked their tongues and said, "It turns out that Commander Ma also knows the commander of the Holy Protector Army!" ”

Ma Zongzhuang felt a little proud, and boasted: "It's not just acquaintance!" I've even had a drink with Takama! Did you hear it just now, Lord Gao still calls me Brother Ma! Let me tell you, this tall man is amazing! He used to be just a guard head on an errand in the Yiwang Mansion, but in less than a year, he climbed to the position of the commander of the Holy Protector Army, and ordinary people don't have such skills! ”

So the soldiers under him hurriedly slapped Ma Zongzhuang's sycophants, which made Ma Zongzhuang proud.

Not to mention how Ma Zongzhuang thinks he has face, just Gao Huaiyuan, looking at the fire in the sky at this time, it has long been determined that it is his Holy Protector Army camp that is on fire, so he is already anxious at this time, and his heart is almost in his throat, so he hits the horse like a fly, all the way to the direction of the Holy Protector Army camp, the yellow huss also has full strength, the four hooves fly and gallop forward, for so long, the yellow huss has not run so happy, it also experienced the owner's impatient feeling, So how much effort and how much strength to run.

So it didn't take long for Gao Huaiyuan to see the outline of the camp of the Protector Army from afar, looking from afar, he saw that the fire in the camp of the Protector Army was soaring, and the night sky was filled with the exclamations of countless people, judging from the location of the fire, he could preliminarily determine that the fire point should be in the horse feed yard of the rear camp, so he was a little relieved, because there was only one forage field in the rear camp, which was piled up with some food for the war horses in the army, and there was still some distance from the camp, and the fire would not cause much damage.

He rode his horse and galloped wildly, while observing the situation of the camp, and constantly listened to the various sounds from the camp with his ears, so he was more or less relieved, at least these shouts seemed to be shouting for firefighting, not the sound of shouting and killing, and he did not hear the sound of the handover of weapons, which made him feel a little more relieved, it didn't seem that there was a mutiny or infighting, so that he would be much less guilty, only burn some horse material, at most it was just a punishment, There will not be much punishment.

When he rushed to the camp gate, someone immediately came out to stop him, and he shouted: "This official is Gao Huaiyuan, and he won't give way to me?" ”

When the military academy that blocked the road heard it, where would he dare to block his way, so he hurriedly opened the gate and let Gao Huaiyuan rush into the camp without stopping.

After entering the camp, Gao Huaiyuan saw that the forage field of the rear camp was really on fire, and there was no scene of fighting in the camp now, many soldiers were carrying buckets and basins at this time, and they were busy fetching water and fighting fires, and many officers were directing the soldiers to put out the fire, and no one noticed Gao Huaiyuan's arrival.

Gao Huaiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, it is best not to have a small camp or mutiny, these days the training of the battalions in the army is very hard, the pressure of the officers and soldiers is very great, a person like him as a general, he has heard about the Xiao camp before, at this time, once there is a big commotion in the camp, the highly nervous or tired soldiers are easy to panic, and it will not lead to a large-scale cannibalism, especially at night, once the Xiao battalion is held, it is not something that can be controlled by man.

After all, the thing he was most afraid of didn't happen, Gao Huaiyuan finally put his heart back in his stomach, rode his horse and rushed into the crowd, and immediately drank to the soldiers who were busy here: "What happened?" Where are Chen Zhen and Zhao Futang? ”

Someone immediately recognized Gao Huaiyuan with the help of the firelight, so a young general ran over and replied loudly: "Lord Qiqi Dutong, an hour ago, everyone had already rested, and suddenly the forage field in the back camp was out of water, so Commander Chen and the generals immediately commanded the fire after hearing the news, and now Commander Chen and General Zhao are in the back camp to command the fire!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan took a look at the back camp, the situation at this time was no longer what he saw in the city just now, the fire tongue was flying high, a large number of officers and soldiers began to organize the continuous transportation of water to the back camp at this time, and the water wheels also equipped in the camp were also pushed out to participate in extinguishing the fire, and now the fire can be said to have been controlled, at least it will not continue to develop.

Gao Huaiyuan then ordered them to continue to draw water, dialed the horse and rushed towards the back camp, on the way met Li Ruohu who was rushing over, Li Ruohu saw Gao Huaiyuan rushing back to the camp, so he immediately took the lead and knelt down, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to plead: "Little incompetence, the adult has just left for a while, and such a thing happened, please punish the adult!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan was in a very bad mood at this time, and wanted to reprimand them, but with the help of the firelight, he saw the cigarette ash on the faces of Li Ruohu and the others, all of which looked like black charcoal, and many people's clothes were burned out of holes by the fire, revealing the skin under the clothes, and some people's beards and eyebrows were burned off by the fire, so he had to hold back his anger and wave his hand: "I'll talk about this later, let's put out the fire first!" ”

So Gao Huaiyuan rushed to the rear camp with people, and began to participate in the command of the fire extinguishing, after their whole army tossed a lot, until dawn, the fire in the rear camp was completely extinguished, and then took care of the holy army, from Gao Huaiyuan to every pawn, each of them was smoked like Africans, except for the white eyes and teeth were white, and there was no clean place to find anymore.
