Chapter Eighty-Two: Arrival in the North
The Shunyang Mountain Range is a large mountain range located in the northernmost part of the Eastern Progressive Kingdom, stretching for more than 500 miles, isolating the Eastern Progressive Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom with a very tough attitude, and only a narrow ravine is crowded in the cliffs on both sides as a passage between the two countries, so that the Eastern Progressive Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom can rely on this ravine to be safe with each other.
Ordered to be stationed here is the general of Zhenbei Huang Zhongsheng, so far, this loyal old minister to the Eastern Progressive State, has been stationed here for as long as eleven years, during his garrison, although the northern country is ready to move, eyeing the tiger, but also helpless this level, this general at all.
One person guards the pass, and there is no way to go.
Although the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Kingdom were all strong and good at fighting, with such a natural favorable terrain, as well as the prestige and unparalleled military capabilities established by Feng Yu in the three armies, Huang Fujian had great trust and expectations for Feng Yu.
From the beginning of June to the end of July, more than 200,000 troops finally arrived at the northern border after a long journey and were stationed in the Shunyang Mountains.
At this time, the weather is getting much hotter, and the soldiers have already changed into summer shirts and armor, which can be regarded as cool, of course, if you exclude the daytime practice in the school field standing in the sun.
After enduring a day of scorching sun and sweating, the soldiers were extremely tired, so they finished dinner as quickly as possible, and then took a shower together, and the rich and lively nightlife began.
The camp is surrounded by deep and dense flowers and trees, and it is summer, and there are many mosquitoes, but fortunately, the soldiers are well prepared when they come, and many of them bring mosquito repellent items such as sachets, herbs, medicinal powders and ointments.
The days are long and the nights are short, the days are warm and the nights are cool. At this time, everyone took a bath comfortably, gathered in the camp tent, either played guessing boxing with water instead of wine, or wrestled and wrestled with bare hands, and some showed their unique talents in front of everyone, and a small number of people got game from somewhere to roast meat around the bonfire, eating with their mouths full of oil, and from time to time someone could hear someone complaining, "If there is wine here, it will be a great pleasure in life!" "The only way to solve your worries is with good wine."
Just as everyone was indulging in the "carnival" under the cool summer night, a figure sneakily peeked out of a tent near the mountain forest behind the camp. Looking at the commotion around him, he nodded slightly, and then ran to the depths of the mountain forest behind the camp with something similar to clothing.
At this moment, night had just fallen, and a new moon was slowly rising.
The ground is covered with all kinds of weeds, the canopy of trees overhead almost covers the sky, and the large green leaves bring tenacious and tenacious vitality to the entire mountain forest.
It didn't take long for him to see an acquaintance. Speaking of this acquaintance, I only knew each other for a few days, and I heard him say that his name was Chen Da Niu, and his family had been farming for generations, and his father died on the battlefield. When he heard that the imperial court was recruiting, he went to sign up, on the one hand, he only had a strong man in his family, and on the other hand, he was also for the ambition of a man in his heart. Chen Da Niu is tall and strong, but his appearance is honest.
"Brother Niu, you're here too!"
"Han Xiaoxi?"
"It's me."
Seeing that Han Xiaoxi seemed to be hiding something behind his back with his hands behind his back, Chen Daniu didn't say much, and his tone was gentle: "Xiaoxi, it's so late, don't go deeper, I'll go back first." ”
"Oh." Han Xiaoxi held the clothes in his hand tightly and didn't dare to say more.
It wasn't until Brother Da Niu's figure slowly disappeared from sight that Han Xiaoxi continued to walk forward with his clothes.
The night grew darker and quieter in the forest.
I don't know how long I walked, but the field of vision in front of me suddenly widened, the trees gradually thinned, and there was a faint murmuring sound of water flowing.
Han Xiaoxi quickened his pace and held the clothes in his arms.
When he arrived at his destination, Han Xiaoxi looked around, and then took off the clothes on his body one by one......
The pale moonlight sprinkled on the water, reflecting the soft waves, and the rocks on the two walls were scattered and scattered, varying in size. Han Xiaoxi's naked porcelain white body threw her long ink-like hair into the water and scrubbed it over and over again, and then she carefully wiped her face, neck, arms, and chest with a towel dipped in spring water...... From head to toe.
Changed into clean clothes, Han Xiaoxi took out a piece of bamboo, poured out some soap from it, washed the dirty clothes he had changed, wrung out the water, and then stared at the starry sky, the night breeze was gentle and cool, unconsciously taking away the water droplets on the black hair, and the white little face was full of comfort.
Different from the appearance of ordinary young men before, Han Xiaoxi at this time has the face of a beautiful girl, and her moist eyes are dimmed compared with the stars.
If Feng Yu or Jin Nian were here, they would definitely be able to recognize who she was.
The night breeze was so refreshing, and the silence in the forest at night was so quiet that she quickly took a nap.
Han Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes, trying to drive away the drowsiness, and then wrapped the heaviness on his chest tightly with a soft white cloth, tied up his long black hair, put on his coat, and changed back to the original ordinary man's face, before slowly walking back.
Alas, I had to sleep with the rough men again......
Back in the tent, looking at the quiet and peaceful scene around him, Han Xiaoxi was not surprised, dried up the washed clothes, and then opened the tent door to find that his companions were indeed asleep. Fortunately, her own shop was on the outskirts, and she was able to turn over twice without touching the person next to her, and put the thin quilt between herself and the person next to her, and then gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, she slept a little unsteadily, dreamed of her father's reluctant expression when she was leaving, dreamed of Feng Yu for a while, and Jinnian's bright smile and bright eyes......
When she woke up on the second day, the sky was still hazy, she looked at the top of the tent with her eyes open, Feng Yu was entwined in her heart, whether it was in Donglin County or in the Imperial City, Feng Yu brought her a very special and deep impression, which made her unforgettable, and she wanted to stay by his side all the time, hoping that she could solve problems for him.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded throughout the mountain, waking up all the soldiers.
Han Xiaoxi was also shocked to wake up from his misty sleep, and when he went out, the sky was clear, and the morning sun in the distance rose up through the skyline, and finally looked at the school field, and saw Feng Yu standing on the spacious school field with a halberd in his hand in a suit of armor.
The school field was set up at a high place, and Han Xiaoxi was almost the first to walk out of the camp tent, so when he looked at it, a sight immediately shot in the direction of the school field.
