The second dagger was lightly scraped on the bamboo pipe, and the bamboo foam powder suddenly fell down one after another, Wu Ming looked at the purple and black bamboo body, and frowned. This is a purple bamboo about half a meter long, the whole body is pitch black and shiny, Wu Ming is using it to make a short flute, at this time the short flute has been roughly formed, the five holes are neatly arranged, and he is using a knife to make the final touches.

"Brother Wu, did you go out today?" He Yi walked in from outside with a food box. Wu Ming raised his head, looked at her, and smiled a little weakly: "I was in a panic, so I went out to take a look at them, don't you say, Lord Yang's newly rehearsed battle formation is very powerful, and it should be of great use." ”

"Alas, you just don't know how to cherish your body, your body has been cold and hot in the past two days, which can frighten people. By the way, this, what is this? He Yi put the food box on the table, looked at the short flute in Wu Ming's hand, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't say the words anymore, and looked at it with interest.

Wu Mingshen smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't speak, you'll know later." He Yi sat next to Wu Ming, looked at it for a while, and whispered: "This, this is the short flute you often play, right?" It's just that you also have to pay attention to rest, this thing, can't you do it again when you have time in the future? ”

Wu Ming put his right index finger on her cherry lips, made a silent gesture, and said, "It'll be fine right away." ”

Suddenly, the dagger in his hand seemed to come to life, and the tip of the knife swirled lightly at the tail of the body, and a small hole with a round and jade color suddenly appeared. With the addition of the five holes just now, it is exactly six holes. Then Wu Ming put this purple bamboo flute to his mouth and blew it, and with a "poof" sound, those broken bamboo crumbs suddenly scattered and flew away. By the time he retracted it, the purple bamboo had turned into a delicate short flute, and the body was black and shiny, as if it had been soaked in honey.

"It's finished." Wu Ming's eyes showed joy and said, "Xiaoyi, come, this is for you." He Yi took it with joy. Then he said, "It's so beautiful, thank you so much." Wu Ming smiled and said, "You try, is the tone still good?" ”

He Yi's slender hands pinched the body of the flute, and his tail fingers were cocked, like two Hanlian flowers waiting to be released, and he blew a few syllables, and then said happily: "Oh, this timbre is a little higher than Brother Wu's one, and it is not as laborious as your blowing, which is just right." "The two have been together for a long time, and their relationship is naturally excellent. In Wu Ming's spare time, he taught He Yi to blow the flute, with the other party's talent for music, although he is still not very proficient in playing it now. But it's also possible to pronounce some simple syllables.

She turned her head, smiled at Wu Ming, and said, "Thank you." ”

This smile is like a spring flower, beautiful and incomprehensible, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, "Hanshu? The Biography of Relatives says: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent, who cares about the city and the country." This "Gu" should just be laughing. He put away the dagger, put it in the leather bag, and said: "The diameter of the bamboo body of this purple bamboo is smaller, so the sound is clearer when blown, and it is not too laborious, but many deep tones may not be played, and they are only suitable for playing cheerful tunes." ”

He Yi couldn't put it down and played with the short flute, and replied: "Among the four songs of the Shanggong Bureau, "Spring Return", "Summer Fire", "Autumn Fruit", and "Winter Silence", only one song "Winter Silence" is mostly bass, and it is inconvenient to play. ”

Wu Ming said: "Okay, then you eat something first, and then get familiar with it, I'll go to the camp outside to have a look." ”

He Yi was taken aback and said, "Don't you need breakfast?" Wu Ming walked up to her and said softly: "No, I have been turning on the small stove for the past few days, I miss the food in the barracks, I am worried that if I continue to eat, my mouth will become tricky, and I will not be able to eat the food in the camp in the future."

The food of the guards battalion was already better than that of other troops, but despite this, the generals of other teams still opened the general's stove, but the Xuanwu team has never had this special case, and Zhang Hao has not complained about him for this. But Wu Ming has always insisted, and in the end, that's the only way.

He Yi was a little disappointed, and responded with a blank "oh". Wu Ming was a little unbearable, stroked her long shiny hair, and said softly: "Obedient, wait until you are stable in the future, I will eat your cooking every day, listen to you play tunes, and no longer have to run around like this, and then, find a place where no one can find it, and give birth to a lot of children." ”

He Yi was suddenly embarrassed, his face was as red as a piece of cloth, he lowered his head, played with the short flute, and said softly: "Brother Wu, your mouth is getting oilier and oilier." ”

Outside, there was a sudden sound of a neat trumpet, it was that the soldiers had already gotten up and practiced, Wu Ming straightened his clothes, touched his nose, turned around a little embarrassed, and was about to turn around and go out. He Yi suddenly whispered: "You, you be careful, remember to eat." Wu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child." ”

Walking out of the tent, the sky was already bright, and the red sun was half-hanging on the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but it was not dazzling. In the distance, the Black Armor Army was running with neat steps, "hey, hey, hey". From time to time, Li Yuan's familiar scolding voice was heard. Wu Ming suddenly smiled bitterly, this Li Yuan, scolding people is probably a feature of his leading troops.

The camp of the Guards Battalion was next to the Black Armor Barracks, and at this time, a hundred or so soldiers also got up early and were practicing their new formations outside. Wu Ming walked out and saw two people standing next to him from a distance, he walked over to take a look, but it was Zhang Hao and Liao Gang. The two were standing together, watching the drills of the Guards Battalion, and talking happily. He walked over, and when the two saw that it was Wu Ming, they hurriedly saluted.

Wu Ming smiled: "What's the matter, is the young governor used to staying here in the past two days?" What do you think of this formation? Liao Gang replied periodically: "It's okay to worry about Lord Lao." The Guards Battalion is worthy of being the strongest soldier in the world, and after observing it for the past two days, the kid is also heartbroken. ”

The sons of this family all love face very much, Liao Gang is not very old, what can he think? His words were originally polite words. Knowing that the other party replied very humbly, Wu Mingden had a good impression of him, and said: "The young governor praised it falsely, Liao Governor governed the army strictly, and in just a few years, he integrated the entire Northwest Miscellaneous Army to form a strong combat force, known as the 'Green Wolf Army', which really made me heartbroken, and I hope that the young governor will introduce me in front of Liao Du at that time." ”

Liao Gangqing was a little depressed, lowered his head, and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Lord Wu, my father said at the beginning of the year that he went out to visit an old friend, but he hasn't returned until now, and now the whole court is my eldest brother Liao Sheng." Later, the Southern Expeditionary Army broke and fled, the baggage camp was also dispersed, and I lost contact with my family, I don't know, now my father has returned. ”

There is a pigeon office in the baggage camp, with more than a dozen people, who are responsible for the management of communications. The Southern Expeditionary Army was defeated, the baggage battalion was gone, and the carrier pigeon department was naturally dispersed, and now Tao Ziqian's newly established baggage battalion was as comprehensive as before, and it was a problem to take care of the food of the Black Armor Army, not to mention the professionals who sent and received carrier pigeons.

This is an important piece of information, Wu Ming was stunned, and said, "Then we want to go through Guò Tingya, can we only visit your eldest brother Liao Sheng?" Liao Gang let out a soft "um" and lowered his head. Wu Ming wanted to ask him for some more information on other aspects, but seeing him like this, it was not easy to talk more. just said: "Why should the young governor be like this, you are also a genius, just because you took Master Xie all the way over the mountains and mountains to this place, I am impressed." ”

Although Wu Ming is not good at pandering, these words are sincere, and they are also affectionate. Liao Gang's eyes lit up suddenly, raised his head and said, "My lord, is this really the case?" ”

"That's true." Wu Ming nodded and replied affirmatively.

Liao Gang gritted his teeth, looked at Wu Ming, and suddenly said, "Lord Wu, I apply to join the Guards Battalion, can I get it?" This time it was Wu Ming's turn to be surprised, he thought about it, and was about to answer, when Zhang Hao next to him suddenly shouted: "Xiao Liao, this is not right, this matter of joining the guard camp is not a joke." Look at me, until now, it's just a little casual. ”

Wu Ming suddenly wanted to laugh a little, slapped the other party lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you have been idle recently, how is it, can there be progress in the cultivation of true qi?" ”

Then he turned his head and said to Liao Gang: "Young Governor, the matter of joining the Guards Battalion is not something I said. This must be done by the Holy Lord, and the Penal Department will verify the identity of the register. And once you join, you can no longer hold official positions in other aspects, the young governor is young and promising, and if you follow Liao Governor in the future, you will definitely be able to show your strengths, it is best to dispel this idea. ”

Liao Gang was told to stay aside by him, and he was silent. Zhang Hao said on the side: "My lord, since I have Miss He, you almost don't need me to take care of you now." If this continues, you may not even be able to keep the identity of this entourage, right? ”

He said very emotionally, Wu Ming paused, looked at Zhang Hao, at this time the sun had broken away from the mountain and hung in the air. Although Zhang Hao stood with his backlight, Wu Ming still saw Zhang Hao's eyes shining. Zhang Hao has followed him for almost three years, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to him.

His heart suddenly became hot, in the past three years, almost all of his daily life has been taken care of by Zhang Hao, and he naturally understands that Zhang Hao's biggest wish is to become an official member of the Guards Battalion. He stepped forward, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard, as long as you reach the third stage, I will go and apply to Niangniang to join the guard battalion, we are still good brothers." ”

"Your Excellency." Zhang Hao shouted, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
