Chapter 22: Lord Shangguan arrives

Du Xiaomeng, who didn't know that Yu Tianzheng secretly sent someone to protect him, occupied Zhan Qi's bed very comfortably, and asked him to find a corner in the tent to lay on the floor and sleep on the muddy floor.

However, although Du Xiaomeng was lying on the best bed in the entire barracks, she couldn't sleep, and she opened her eyes to count sheep in the dark. Excessive fatigue and pain in the body is a reason, the unfamiliar and not so comfortable bed is a reason, and the anxiety in the heart is a major reason.

I don't know when Shangguan Hong will come, and she can't help but feel uneasy when she thinks of that suspicious character. Her hand couldn't help but touch the human skin mask on her face, she was afraid that she would cause unnecessary trouble after being recognized, even in the tent where there were only Zhan Qi and her, she didn't dare to get rid of the disguise on her face; And the leather armor that allowed her to pretend to be a teenager was also put back on her body early.

In the darkness, I could hear Zhan Qi in the corner making a slight sound as he turned around. It seems that she is not the only one who can't sleep.

The same is the end of the world insomnia.

Du Xiaomeng turned her head in the direction where Zhan Qi was and asked, "Can't sleep?" ”

A few steps away, someone immediately replied, "Yes." ”

Although Zhan Qi found a corner to lay on the floor, the tent was just a little big, and the corner where he was located was actually less than two meters away from Du Xiaomeng.

I couldn't see anything in the dark, but Du Xiaomeng still opened her eyes and looked at the location where the voice came, thought about it, and asked softly the question that she had been in her heart these days: "Are you planning to really deal with His Highness as the third prince wishes?" ”

When he asked this, Zhan Qi was silent. After being silent for a while, I heard his voice slowly sound again, asking, "You care about Your Highness very much, and you are afraid that I will hurt him, right?" ”

Du Xiaomeng was stunned, and soon, she reacted that Zhan Qi had mistaken what she was asking in the wrong direction.

Soul light! When did she say that she cared about Yu Tianzheng? When did she make any moves that made others think she cared about Yu Tianzheng? When she ran here desperately, did she think about Yu Tianzheng in her heart? Have it? Nope!

This bastard, still thinking about pulling her and his good brother together all the time, right? Otherwise, how could she answer an ordinary question like this? He also swore to her before, saying that he would arrange for her to leave, and would not let Yu Tianzheng have another chance to pester her. Now it sounds like he is too idiot to be fascinated by lard to believe his nonsense!

Du Xiaomeng became angry namelessly, and she had the urge to find someone to beat her, but she held back. clenched his fists in the quilt and asked in a calm tone: "Do you think I care about Your Highness very much, and you think I will be afraid that you will hurt him?" ”

Zhan Qi was silent for a moment, but did not answer Du Xiaomeng's rhetorical question, but lowered his voice and said, "There will always be a way to solve things, you don't need to worry too much about it." ”

Feeling that there seemed to be something else in his words, Du Xiaomeng asked, "Do you have a solution?" ”

Zhan Qi once again didn't answer her question and turned to another unrelated direction: "Let's rest for a while." After dawn, I will arrange for you to go to the cooking camp, which is far away from the main camp, and ordinary people will not go out of their way to patrol there, and it will be safer for you to stay there than to stay with me. ”

Du Xiaomeng has no opinion on this arrangement. If Shangguan Hong brings people to the barracks, she, the person who wants to hide her identity, will be as far away from Zhan Qi as possible; Besides, she has a stomach for Zhan Qi now, and if she can't see his shadow from him, her mood will be better.

At this point, neither of them seemed to have any intention of continuing, so the two returned to a state of silence, and continued to toss and turn in their own quilts, waiting for dawn.

Those who couldn't sleep all night soon ushered in the dawn of the next day.

According to what he said at night, Zhan Qi summoned Shen Wan to the tent, explained the reason to him, and then asked him to take Du Xiaomeng to the cooking camp to be the leader of the gang.

Shen Wan took the order, took Du Xiaomeng to the cooking camp, and called a middle-aged sturdy uncle in his forties, with white temples and a disability on one leg, to come over and say, "Brother Jin, he is a young soldier who has just joined the army, and the general ordered me to bring people over to you to hone and hone first, and see how he performs before making plans." ”

The man who was called "Brother Jin" smiled innocently and said, "Okay! I'm short of people here! ”

Shen Wan said again: "This little ghost is eager to join the army, and he was injured in an accident on the road, Brother Jin, don't let him do heavy work for the time being, let him recuperate well." ”

Brother Jin patted his chest and said happily: "Vice General Shen, you can rest assured that you will hand over the person to me, I will definitely take a good look at him!" ”

"That's good." Shen Wan looked at Du Xiaomeng and showed her a smile, "Ah Ming, as long as you do a good job in the cooking camp, the general will transfer you to another battalion." Brother Jin is a very good person, if you don't understand anything, just ask him for advice. ”

Du Xiaomeng lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and said with a teachable look: "Got it, thank you Vice General Shen." ”

Shen Wan turned around and said to Brother Jin: "I've handed over the person to you, and I'll go back and give my life to the general." ”

In this way, Du Xiaomeng entered the cooking camp in Zhan Qi's army, became a glorious leader in the formation, and began the first military career in her life.

Shen Wan left Du Xiaomeng in the cooking camp and left, and not long after he left, the army led by Shangguan Hong finally came to the barracks.

First of all was an elite group of ironclad cavalry. Ignoring the two soldiers guarding the camp, the majestic vanguard rode straight into the camp, splashing the two soldiers who had no time to evade the mud and snow brought up by the horses' hooves.

After the ironclad cavalry, there were the guards on horseback and sabre; After that, a carriage with the emblem of the Three Princes Yu Tianjun on the body drove into the barracks.

The carriage came to a steady stop, and one of the guards jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the carriage, and respectfully said to the car, "Report to Lord Shangguan, we have arrived at the barracks. ”

When the guards were reporting, Zhan Qi, who heard the movement, also happened to take Shen Wan in stride in this direction.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Shangguan Hong was the first to jump out of the carriage, and then, another little girl got out of the carriage, and Shangguan Hong carried the carriage and fell to the ground.

The little girl looked about the same age as Zhan Li, and her appearance did not resemble that of the Qiyang people, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, which was obviously the appearance of the Northern Barbarians.

Seeing that the little girl was picked up from the carriage by Shangguan Hong, Zhan Qi was a little surprised in his heart. As far as he knew, Shangguan Hong only had two sons and no daughters.

Why did Shangguan Hong bring a little girl with the army? Judging from his attitude towards the little girl, the identity of the little girl is not simple.

What is the origin of that unidentified little girl?
