Chapter 478: General Wen
The warm summer sun shone on Mu Biying's body, and it was covered with inconspicuous gray spots and thick hair, which seemed to glow slightly golden in the sun. Mu Hongshang rubbed Mu Biying's fluffy, soft round ears, and said softly: "Biying, I really envy you...... With such freedom, you can go wherever you want. β
Mu Biying ignored Mu Hongsheng and continued to pill her head on Mu Hongsheng's lap and snored comfortably. Mu Hongshang looked at its round and cute face, and asked, "Do you remember the northern realm?" You're from the North! Now my father and my brothers are in the north, in your hometown. β
Of course, Mu Biying couldn't answer Mu Hongsheng's words, and Mu Hongsheng seemed to be just talking to herself to her leopard, and continued: "It was so long ago, you were still young at that time, and I don't know if you still remember. You are so powerful, I want to ask you to help me take care of Ling Yi and Jin Yi. But if you think about it, you know that it's impossible, you usually hate Jinyi the most, so you won't follow him. Biying, why do you say that...... Why can't I go to the North instead of Jinyi, just because I'm a girl? It's so unfair......"
The weather was very warm, but there was still a little coolness in the early summer breeze, and Mu Hongsheng's muttering seemed to be floating in the air with the wind, gradually disappearing......

The emperor gave the household department a ten-day deadline, but this time, He Wenmao was not as sharp as before, and it took him thirteen days to mobilize enough grain to load the truck. Two hundred carts of ordnance and five hundred carts of grain and grass were parked together at the Gyeonggi Jinling Garrison Camp, waiting to depart.
Jin Lingwei's escort team was also quickly assembled, and more than half of the team of five hundred people were veterans who were about to be discharged. However, the military appearance of this group of people is neat, all of them have bright helmets and bright armor, and they are not like soldiers who have been in the army for many years.
The infantry army led by the team was commanded by the envoy surnamed Wen, a close confidant of the general of Zhenguo, in his thirties, with a serious face, with two moustaches, and he also looked like a very shrewd person, wearing armor, and looking majestic, but his face was slightly whiter.
This is actually normal. The Gyeonggi garrison is not like the northern garrison, either swords and swords on the battlefield all day long, or endure the wind and sun on the patrol road, and the mud monkeys are as black as charcoal.
Their conditions are good, and the soldiers still have to train and defend the city, and the generals live relatively comfortably. On days when they are not on duty, there is no need to stay in the barracks, and after returning home, there are wives and servants who serve them well, and compared with the northern border guards with difficult conditions, they naturally look much whiter.
In fact, the people sent by General Zhenguo to the north to escort grain and grass this time were all carefully selected. is not young anymore, but the combat effectiveness is not weak.
Of course, General Zhenguo knew that it was his responsibility to transport the ordnance, grain and grass to the north along the way, and there must be no problems in his hands. Therefore, it stands to reason that it is most appropriate to send some elite soldiers to escort them.
But if you really choose the elite soldiers and armor to escort them, most of them are meat buns and dogs, and when you go, the team of 500 people is neat, and when you come back, there are only a few officers left, and the rest are ordered by the emperor to be added to the northern camp.
General Zhenguo was not happy, so he deliberately selected a part of the armor soldiers who were old but had good combat effectiveness, these people would be discharged from the army soon anyway, and it didn't make much sense for An Guogong to detain them, at most they would stay in the camp for half a year, and they should all take off their armor and go home.
These sergeants, although they are still in good condition, are relatively old, they have long passed their peak, and the number is not large, so General Zhenguo specially told General Wen to be more careful along the way.
General Wen was naturally also a sensible person, so after the grain, grass and ordnance were transported to the Gyeonggi camp, he first ordered people to break up the two hundred carts of ordnance and five hundred carts of grain and grass and divide them into groups.
A cart of ordnance, two or three carts of grain and grass as a group, each group numbered, the armor in charge of guarding the fixed, if there is a problem, can immediately be held accountable to the individual.
When the Mu family's martial master and guards arrived at the Gyeonggi camp, General Wen was busy taking roll calls in groups. Suddenly, I saw a sergeant standing guard in the large camp hurrying over, saying that a team of dozens of people had come from outside to see General Wen.
General Wen was a little puzzled, so many people ran to the camp gate to find him, such a thing had never happened. He followed the sergeant standing guard out to see that the horse team of dozens of people outside was neatly lined up outside, led by two young men, one looked a little older, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was too young and childish, and it turned out to be a child in his early teens.
The older boy was carrying a stainless steel green dragon halberd that looked quite weighty, while the younger boy was carrying a black iron spear with a sharpened head and a cold glow. Starting.. m..
Behind the two sons were more than 20 sturdy men in blue cloth shirts, carrying spears, glaive swords, bows and arrows behind them...... There were all sorts of weapons, but most of them were long weapons that they needed to fight on horseback.
Behind these twenty or so blue-clothed warriors were the guards dressed in gray guards, sitting neatly on their horses, with swords at their waists, and there were quite a few of them, there were forty or fifty people going up, looking like the noble guardians of the capital in Beijing.
Behind these men were two carts, which seemed to be full of things, carefully covered with waterproof tarpaulin, and tied with hemp rope.
The most peculiar thing is that next to the youngest son, there is a huge feline, I don't know what it is, almost three times larger than an ordinary hunting dog, slightly smaller than a tiger, looking like a mountain leopard, but much larger than a leopard.
The thing sat near the little boy's horse, and the horse seemed to be used to it, but it didn't panic. But that thing didn't know whether it was disgusted with horses or people on horseback, and pointed its butt at the little boy on horseback, but he twisted his huge head, and a pair of green eyes emitted a ghostly light, staring in the direction of the camp gate, his eyes were strange and scary, and he startled General Wen so hard that he almost drew his sword.
However, this big guy seemed to be quite lazy, sat still and didn't move, and even opened his big mouth very unobtrusively and yawned at General Wen, revealing a mouth of white teeth that were shiny with cold light.
General Wen was staring at the big fluffy guy with a wary face, but he saw the two sons at the head of the group looking at each other, and directly got off the horse and saluted him with a fist, and the older son asked, "Dare to ask, but General Wen?" In Xia Mu Lingyi, at home Xingwu, the general called me Mu Wu, and the one next to me was my younger brother Mu Jinyi. βread3;
