Out of the imperial city, all the way to the east, Xie Changye specially ordered that the team should not march particularly fast, so as not to be too tired on the road and consume a lot of energy.

Of course, the main reason is that Xie Changye has not experienced such a long march, the official road on the first day is fine, and the second day passes through the mountain road and turns on horseback for a whole day, Xie Changye's whole back hurts.

At noon, when he was resting from cooking, Xie Changye leaned under the tree, beating his legs bitterly.

Even though she was riding a horse, if she continued to do this, she was afraid that her legs would be useless.

"Lord Wang, drink saliva." Xiao Linzi took the water bladder and handed it to Xie Changye.

Xie Changye took it, drank a few sips, and as soon as he put down the water bladder, he saw Li Yong standing in front of him.

"Is there something wrong with Vice General Li?"

Since he chose Li Yong as his lieutenant general, he has always looked like he wants to say something, especially in the past two days of marching, he has to look at himself every once in a while, but whenever he looks over, Li Yong will immediately withdraw his gaze.

"Lord Wang, the last general ......" Li Yong gritted his teeth, and finally said, "It's nothing." ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Xie Changye stopped Li Yong and couldn't help but sigh, "If you have anything you want to ask, you don't have to be so babbling." ”

"The last general, the last general has nothing to say." Li Yong shook his head.

"Really?" Xie Changye handed the water bladder to Xiao Linzi on the side, "This king will only give you this chance, if you really don't have anything to say, you don't need to say it again in the future." ”

Li Yong's expression tightened, he turned his head to look at Xie Changye, and after a long while, he spoke: "The last general just wants to ask the Seventh Prince, why did you choose me?" ”

Xie Changye leaned against the tree with a lazy expression, "What, is it because you don't want to participate in the suppression of bandits, so you blame this king for choosing you in your heart?" ”

"Of course not!" Li Yong hurriedly spoke, and after speaking, his expression fell a little lower, "After all, in the military camp before, the last general had a conflict with the prince, so ......"

Xie Changye took Li Yong's words, okay, "So you suspect that this king is still thinking about the previous things, and deliberately recruited you to this king's command, so as to take the opportunity to trouble you?" ”

Li Yong's face was a little ugly, he did have such thoughts, but looking at Xie Changye's appearance, it didn't seem to be very similar.

Mustering up his courage, Li Yong looked at Xie Changye, "Why did the Seventh Prince choose the last general?" ”

"It's simple." Xie Changye shrugged his shoulders, "First of all, in the military camp in the western suburbs, except for Wang Han and them, this king is most familiar with you. Secondly, although you have clashed with this king before, you have been in the military camp for many years and have rich experience, which is not comparable to this king or Wang Han. ”

Therefore, the choice of Li Yong was not a casual joke, but after careful consideration.

"Is that just because of that?" Li Yong asked.

"Or else?" Xie Changye raised his eyebrows, "Vice General Li won't think that the reason is because this king has a shame in his heart for you, so he wants to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, right?" ”

"The last general didn't think so."

Li Yong lowered his head, and suddenly felt a lot more happy in his heart, it seemed that he was really selected only because of his experience and ability, and there was no other reason.

"Okay, since we all set out to suppress the bandits together, and the words are clear, then the king hopes that General Li can release his previous suspicions and complete the suppression of the bandits well." Xie Changye smiled and spoke.

The best way for Li Yong to have such a temperament is to let him know that everything depends on his own strength, and there are other reasons. Otherwise, I'm afraid that his heart will be extremely unhappy.

"Yes." Li Yong said solemnly, "Lord Wang, since you want to release your previous suspicions, if your subordinates have any opinions......

"General Li can say it bluntly."

"Yes." Li Yong's face was overjoyed.

Xie Changye waved his hand, "Okay, General Li go down and rest." ”

Li Yong hesitated for a moment and did not leave.

"Lord Wang, in fact, the last general has an opinion now."

Xie Changye asked, "What opinion?" ”

Li Yong said with a straight face: "The current marching speed is too slow, we should speed up, reduce the time to rest, and strive to reach Youcui Mountain as soon as possible!" Also, the last general felt that the prince had brought too many things, which would affect the march, and the prince should throw away all the unnecessary ones, and ......"

Seeing Li Yong open the conversation box and talk non-stop, Xie Changye couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

She now regrets letting Li Yong have an opinion.

……

couldn't stand Li Yong's chatter, Xie Changye finally gave the order and accelerated the march, of course, in this way, she also had more and more back pain on the horseback.

Finally, there was only one day's trip to reach the foot of Youcui Mountain, and Xie Changye had a feeling that he would see the sun immediately.

It was getting late, and just as they were encamping and resting, they suddenly saw many crowds of people.

As soon as I inquired, I learned that there were villages and towns 80 miles to the west, and there was a landslide last night, and the houses were buried, and these people were all people who survived and escaped.

"Lord Wang, there is a landslide in the village and town, and you need to send someone to report to the court as soon as possible, and ask them to send troops to rescue." Wang Han's expression was solemn.

Xie Changye looked at the old man in front of him who was brought to reply, "Old man, how many people are buried?" ”

"There are more than 100 destroyed houses, not to mention hundreds of people, and the good living people are sleeping and are buried." As he spoke, the old man couldn't help wiping his tears.

If it weren't for the fact that their house was a little farther away from the mountain, I am afraid that they would have died like this.

Xie Changye frowned, "I was just buried last night, which means that there may still be people alive, if you wait for the Imperial City to receive the news and send someone to rescue you, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

"Lord, what do you mean?"

"The order goes down, everyone changes direction, goes to the villages and towns to the west, and saves people first."

"Lord Wang, no, the military order we received is to suppress bandits, if we rashly change the march, in case someone sues, it will be bad!" Li Yong hurriedly spoke.

You know, it is a grave sin for a soldier to disobey orders.

"We are suppressing bandits to protect the people, and now that the mountain is falling, there may still be people who have survived, if we don't save them when we see death, what's the point of suppressing the bandits?" After speaking, Xie Changye added in a cold voice, "If something really happens, this king will be responsible." ”

She believed that if Xie Wuyi knew, he would definitely order to save people first.

Li Yong looked at the ragged people, and his heart was a little unbearable.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and spoke: "Yes, the last general will obey." ”
