Chapter 13 Go, go to war
Qin Bai ignored her words completely, and continued: "When you are free, if you really have nothing to do, read more books to relieve your boredom." He pointed to the bookcase behind him: "What are the three from the four virtues, it is good for you to learn more." ”
Xue He immediately rolled his eyes: "My mother said that the man should look at something." ”
The corners of Qin Bai's mouth twitched:
"I have the opportunity to meet Lingtang in the future, and it seems that I need to discuss this with her."
Xue He looked at him with pity: "I advise you to do the best, no, don't do it." ”
"Why?"
"In our family, my mother usually has the final say on big and small affairs, although my uncle is the biggest - even my uncle doesn't dare to mention it, you better save it."
I don't know why, every time Xuehe mentions her family, Qin Bai inexplicably makes up such a picture:
In a certain deep mountain and old forest, there lives a powerful and domineering fox fairy mother, a handsome and honest scholar father who is afraid of his wife, a fox uncle who is quite capable, and ten little fox cubs who are weird and evil to the elves - the youngest is the most skin-free, probably underage? As a result, he was abducted by horse bandits, and now he is in his own hands.
His expression froze, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Snow River suddenly jumped up unexpectedly and climbed on him like a little monkey, with his legs wrapped around his waist and his arms around his neck:
"So, just take me with you!"
"War is no joke, don't be kidding."
He deliberately pulled down his face, but as soon as her soft and lovely little body came up, even through the armor, Qin Bai's expression immediately became a little unbearable, and he stretched out his arms to hug her dotingly, and coaxed softly: "Didn't my dead ghost brother just say that fighting is about death, it's not fun at all......"
"Who's kidding?"
She looked serious: "I can help you!" ”
Qin Bai looked pained: "How can I say that I am also a prince, and I still have to ask women to help me in such things as leading troops to fight...... Don't I want to lose face? ”
"Then do you want to win the battle, or do you want to save face?"
“……”
Qin Bai felt a burst of pain: "This is not the same thing. ”
"I must go!"
Qin Bai only thought that she was playing with a child's temper, broke her hand away, and gently put it on the ground, just wanted to persuade again, but the more she didn't expect her to jump up again, this time directly clamping the bridge of his nose with two fingers:
"If you don't agree, I'll tell you to show your stuff in public!"
This time, Qin Bai was really a little scared.
There are taboos for any kind of spell, such as the disguise technique, which is the most taboo for people to touch the Yingxiang acupoints on both sides of the nose, if someone holds this place, the disguise will immediately lose its effectiveness.
"Can you stop making trouble!"
"I'm talking to you very seriously! And I'm not talking to you! ”
Xue He Zhengse said: "You dare to leave me secretly!" As long as you walk on your front foot, I will immediately set fire to your palace!" Word! If you don't believe me, just give it a try! ”
Qin Bai was really convinced this time - he really went against the sky and was going to be punished, God knows which evil star he committed to meet this little ancestor?
“…… You win. ”
Qin Bai sighed resignedly and gave up resistance completely.
"That's good~!"
Xue He immediately let go, picked up his face and kissed him hard, jumped to the ground in a hurry, ran to the window first to put away the rabbit's talisman paper, and went to the inner room while untying his skirt:
"You're waiting for me to have a pillar of incense! I'll pack my luggage and change my clothes! ”
“…… Good. ”
Qin Bai replied weakly, completely helpless against the little goblin in front of him.
Although he had walked around the edge of the Great Wall in armor in a decent manner before, the first time he saw the two armies fighting, the first time he saw the severed limbs and severed arms flying in front of his eyes, and he saw a burst of blood spurting to the ground, and the air was filled with a terrible bloody smell - objectively speaking, although he was protected by his own guards, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
Qin Bai is not like his perverted brother, he really runs away when he sees a fight, closes his eyes when he sees bloodshed, and screams when he sees murder - he is a sunny and upright boy with no power to restrain chickens!
Although he persevered until the last moment out of the professional ethics of a professional actor, when he returned to the outhouse he bought for Xuehe on the outskirts of the city that day, his legs were still weak when he got off the horse.
went to the battlefield for the first time in his life, and it was all about first-class acting skills to be able to hold on without goofs. Therefore, when he used his last strength to carry the little beauty into the house, his eyes were black and he passed out directly on her bed.
The battlefield is so terrifying, don't go back if you kill me! I'd rather read ten and a half days of official documents and military letters at home than go to war in person!
Therefore, when he saw Xue He neatly coiling up her long hair with her hands and feet, packing up a small burden and carrying it on her back, changing into a cyan short coat and wearing a deerskin boots on her feet, he still felt that she must have just thought it was fun and shouted that she had to go:
"Are you going hunting?"
Shaking his head, he corrected in an extremely firm tone: "Fight, fight!" ”
“……”
With all due respect, if I were a horse bandit, I would have died of laughter on the spot when I saw such officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits.
Realizing the contempt in his eyes, Xue He pulled down his face unhappily: "Don't look down on people!" I'm amazing! ”
Apparently not convincing.
"Moreover, fighting is not all about fighting with good courage and ruthlessness, but with resourcefulness! What's it called......" Xue He rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally remembered the word:
"- Go to the army and plot! My mother said that. ”
"Your mother is amazing."
Anyway, I can't resist her, and the shadow of the last expedition hasn't come out yet, and now when I think of this, my heart is still stunned.
Qin Bai reached out and touched her head: "It's okay, it's really not good, I'll take you away." I can't fight, but I can run fast! Ordinary people can't catch me at all! ”
"Hey!"
Xue He was deflated for a while: "When I said just now, 'Even if I have to fight, I can't let the soldiers give away their heads in vain', I still think you are a little bold!" How can it be said that cowardice is cowardice! ”
"That's what I said! I...... I'm not really Zhao Zheng! Wang Ye Rongma has fought countless battles large and small in his life, and he can also be called a victorious general! I'm just a little river god who only cares when it rains and when the water rises! I'm a civil official, this, this, interlaced like a mountain......"
"Can you have a little ambition!"
Xue He was angry, and he stretched out his hand to tear up his face: "No one is born with such a thing as a war!" You've read so many military books! Understand so many truths! You haven't been a goof for so long as you play the prince, your acting skills are so good, and your brain is so flexible! I've always admired you! ”
“…… Are you sure. ”
"Really! You're the river god I've ever seen who reads the most and knows how to fight! Awesome! ”
Unexpectedly hearing the compliment, Qin Bai didn't care that her face was being hurt by her, and even smiled a little shyly: "You are the best-looking and coaxing little fox I have ever seen." ”
"What?"
The two were talking, when they heard the sound of soft footsteps outside the door, and the voice of the old inner eunuch came: "Lord Wang, the barracks in front have sent someone to urge again." ”
Qin Bai seemed to have confidence suddenly, and changed his disguise technique again, and his voice changed suddenly, sinking like a flood bell:
"Pack your bags and get ready to go!"
According to the spies' tip-off report, there are about 5,000 of the most rampant horse bandits in Mobei, and their nest is fifty miles north of the Great Wall, at the junction with the Wind Thunder Knife Valley.
Now in late autumn, the land of Mobei is about to enter the harsh winter of heavy snow and mountains, and the horse bandits frequently harass the caravan and the people in order to reserve the grain and grass materials for the winter, and even extend their hands to Yancheng recently, which can be said to be very arrogant.
After the court was played, the emperor issued an order to suppress the bandits.
Zhao Zheng transferred 20,000 elite cavalry from the defenders of Yancheng, and after three days of preparation, he opened on the same day and led his troops to advance towards the hinterland of Mobei.
I thought that taking this little vixen would add a burden, and even specially prepared a carriage for her, who knew that she changed into men's clothes, and actually rode a fiery red military horse, and never fell behind her, that is, she was not bitter or tired, An Ansheng was completely unexpected.
That heroic appearance is impressive.
It's just that no matter how you dress up as a boy, even if you still have a bigger helmet on your head, that little pink face, delicate and playful little appearance, you know it's a girl at a glance.
seems to have been pampered since childhood, I thought she was just trying to come because she thought it was fun, but I didn't expect her to rush on a horse like an ordinary soldier, and eat dry food together when resting, as if she was a completely different person.
After a three-day rapid march, Zhao Zheng led the men and horses to the first post station in the hinterland of Mobei as scheduled, rested for a while, and continued to march after the follow-up men and horses and materials arrived one after another.
However, people are not as good as the sky, since the first day of arriving at this desert station, the originally silent Gobi has blown a strong wind, rolling up the yellow sand, covering the sky and the sun, and the ghosts cry like wolves.
And things are not going well.
Due to the bad weather, the convoy transporting supplies had to be delayed for a day to arrive, and the spies who went deep into Mobei did not send back news for several days, which made Zhao Zheng, who was already at a bottom, even more panicked.
It was getting late, and the candles in the tent were dim.
There was an exchange of views with the generals, and the final conclusion was that it was still a day to wait. Zhao Zheng returned to the camp tent with some frustration, and saw the little rabbit coming out of the basin with a basin of water with an expressionless face, and Xue He probably had just finished washing and rested on the bed.
The roof of the tent was whistling in the wind, as if a hand was deliberately beating.
The old eunuch served him and took off his armor, and quietly retreated.
After receiving the disguise technique, Qin Bai was placed on the bed in a large shape like a falling shelf, and Xue He stepped forward and asked, "What?" Didn't it go well? ”
"None of them went well."
Qin Bai made a bitter face: "It's so difficult to lead soldiers!" There are many things to worry about. ”
