Chapter 160: Unexpected
Guard Liu blew the horn, and the two of them rode their horses and whipped into the woods, disappearing into the billowing dust raised by the horses' hooves.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Heber's riding and archery skills with a hundred steps through the Yang, and the arrows are not missing. I just watched him pull out an arrow from the quiver behind his back with his backhand, skillfully put it on the bow and arrow, and pulled the bowstring hard with his right hand. The arrows are like wild horses that have lost their reins, and like angry lions, they gallop towards their prey.
This action was repeated over and over again, and soon Heber was fully loaded. It wasn't that he deliberately released the water, but that the arrow feathers he brought with him had run out, and he had to be forced to return.
"General, why are you back, it's not time yet! I haven't even blown the horn yet. Guarding Liu saw Heber returning from horseback, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, taking the prey thrown by Heber.
"I don't want to go through the trouble of pulling out the arrows from each prey and using them again." Herb jumped off his horse and touched his mount's head.
"The general has gained a lot!" Guard Liu looked at the prey that Hebert had brought back, and said in passing.
"Yes! You have said that you have gained a lot, and if I wait for you to blow the trumpet and then return, will I not be cruel to the heavens? Herb laughed and joked with Guard Liu.
"The general is in a good mood! It's all joking, it looks like it's a big gain! The two were chatting happily, and Vice General Wang also carried the prey and rode back.
"Haha...... Vice Admiral Wang's harvest is not bad! Heber looked at the prey in the hands of Vice Admiral Wang and said with a smile.
"Catch." Vice General Wang threw the prey to Liu Shouwei, and he jumped off the horse himself, "Count!" See who wins, me or the general? ”
Both of them looked at Liu Shouwei with confidence, watching him fiddle with all kinds of prey on the ground.
Taking advantage of the gap between Liu Shouwei and counting the prey, Vice General Wang deliberately leaned over to Heber's side and touched the saber on Heber's waist with his hand.
"What? What if the winner has not yet been decided? Heber reflexively slapped the hand of Vice Admiral Wang, and used his hand to protect his own love sword.
"General, don't be so stingy, can't you touch it?" Vice Admiral Wang felt bored and squatted down to pet the prey all over the ground.
Soon the results came out, and everyone was really happy, and they didn't know what method Heber used to come up with such a result.
"General, it's all twenty-one, tie." Liu Shouwei announces the result of the match to Heber.
"What? Draw? ”
"What? Draw? ”
The two of them said in unison, with the same surprised expressions. They looked at each other in amazement.
"How can it be a tie, it's impossible......" Vice Admiral Wang whispered to himself, his expression turning from surprise to loss.
It turned out that both of them brought twenty arrow feathers into the forest, and both of them used up their arrow feathers in every shot. At this time, it was still half an hour before the appointed time, and Heber pulled out an arrow from a prey, and shot another little rabbit, thinking that even if the deputy general Wang did not miss the arrow, he would not lose the game and lose his love sword.
But he never expected that Vice General Wang, a brave and unscrupulous guy, would be so smart to go with him this time. The atmosphere was unusually awkward.
"Good! It's a good draw! We finally got to know each other once, so we should be happy! Herb put his arm on Vice Admiral Wang's shoulder and smiled to break the awkward situation.
"It's clear that I want to get it, but now it's still in vain."
"Okay! It's all said that it's a competition, don't care so much about the result, let's prepare for the war! The coming day is long, and we will compare it again in the future. The two put their shoulders on their shoulders and walked in the direction of the barracks as they chatted.
"But ......," Vice Admiral Wang still looked at the sword at Heber's waist.
"It's a big deal, how about lending you my love sword tomorrow, letting it go with you to be majestic, and then return it to me after the war is won?"
"This ...... This ......"
"What else is this? You all know that we who practice martial arts treat our weapons like children, and the sword has always been in the person, and the sword is dead. I'm going to be in love! Heber punched Vice General Wang in the chest, and it turned out that he was so attentive to his subordinates, and there was no sense of fear at all.
"Okay, that's a deal."
"You! It's too much, but fortunately I didn't lose to you today, otherwise you would have to force me to die for my sword. Reluctantly, Heber took the sword from his waist.
Vice Admiral Wang couldn't wait to grab the sword, no longer listening to Heber's nagging, pulled the sword out of its scabbard, and looked at the sword body shining in the sun, his saliva was about to flow out, and it was a gesture in place, "Good sword, really good sword." ”
After a while, he put his sword back into its scabbard, held it and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, General, the last general has gone to prepare for battle." ”
Herb nodded in agreement, took his sword, and turned away satisfied.
The person who was responsible for entering the border city in disguise to do the internal response also successfully passed the inspection at the city gate and entered the city one after another.
In the barracks, the adjutant generals also adjusted their own soldiers, ready to fight at any time, the adjutant generals led the soldiers to shout battle slogans, the soldiers were all in high morale, just waiting to regain the lost territory, drive out the sleepers as soon as possible, and stuff the people with a piece of paradise.
Back in the barracks, Hebo ordered Guard Liu to send all the prey to the quarters and feed his soldiers. "By the way, let the cooks make the deer in the evening and bring it to my tent. Bring an extra pair of chopsticks. ”
"Who is the general going to dine with?" Liu Shouwei was a little curious, usually Heber eats alone, but today he has to prepare two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and he can't help but say more.
"Meritorious people."
"Meritorious people? Who ......"
"Alright! Stop grinding and go about your business. ”
Liu Shouwei wanted to continue asking, but Heber didn't have time to talk nonsense with him anymore. He had to call a few people to help bring the heavy prey to the house.
Heber returned to the camp tent, changed his dusty clothes, and then went to the camp tent of the military doctors with great interest to look for Zhou Haoran. Along the way, everyone was saluting Heber, who smiled and nodded in response.
Seeing Herb come in, the head of the military doctor hurriedly greeted him with a smile, patted the ash on the chair with his sleeve, and asked Herb to sit down, "General, why does the general have time to come over today?" Is there something wrong with it? ”
"I'm here to find someone."
"Who is the general looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhou Haoran, a military medical assistant, I just walked around outside, and I didn't see him."
"A military medical assistant? At this time, they should be in the camp tent for the wounded soldiers, helping the wounded soldiers to change their dressings. The head of the medic replied truthfully to Herb.
"So?"
"I'll call him right now."
"No, I'll find it myself, so as not to hinder them from doing things." Herb said, getting up and walking out of the tent.
The head of the military doctor smiled and sent Heber out of the tent, returned to the tent alone, and muttered to himself: "Zhou Haoran, what's the matter!" A small military medical assistant can make the general deign to come to him. ”
Heber slowly walked towards the camp tent for the wounded soldiers, and in the camp tent for the wounded soldiers, he saw Orange Creek who was serious about his work. Looking at her amiable smile and her meticulous care for the wounded soldiers, Heber liked this "little brother" even more.
Herb quietly walked behind Orange Creek and watched Orange Creek busy silently, Orange Creek may also be too focused to realize Herb's existence.
"Ah......h
But Herb made a gesture to keep him silent. Herb saw Orange Creek doing things so seriously, and he really didn't want to interrupt her.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt you? Then I'll be lighter, and if you endure it any longer, you'll be fine soon. Orange Creek reproached herself and said to the wounded soldier.
"It's okay, how can an injury not hurt, everyone knows that Assistant Zhou is the most careful and light-handed person in the entire military medical camp."
"Really? Is this complimenting me? Don't say that, I'm afraid I'll not be able to hold back the praise and become proud! Orange Creek returned with a smile, but the matter at hand did not stop for a moment.
"You see, your tone is so gentle, I think if you are a daughter, you must be more popular."
Hearing this wounded soldier say this, Orange Creek was stunned for a moment, and continued to say with a smile on his face: "Don't make this kind of joke again, okay!" Remember, don't push too hard, the wound hasn't healed completely, be careful to break open the wound again. ”
"Got it, you've told me so many times."
Orange Creek was relieved to hold the medicine tray and prepare to turn around and change the medicine for other wounded soldiers. As soon as he turned around, he threw himself into Heber's arms, and the tray in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Afraid that she would fall, Heber gently wrapped his hand around her waist. In Heber's eyes, this is just a gesture, but in Orange Creek's eyes, it is simply a gift from heaven. She even greedily hoped that time stopped at this moment, and just lay in Heber's arms all the time. She even imagined that it was Heber who remembered the past and came to take her to fulfill her unfulfilled wish together, wear wedding clothes together, and get married.
"Are you alright? Brother Zhou. ”
Herb's words pulled her back from her fantasy, "General? How are you? Orange Creek stood up in embarrassment, the flush already creeping up her cheeks.
"I'm looking for you! Walk, come out and talk. ”
Orange Creek followed Herb out of the wounded barracks, "Why are you still blushing?" I can't see that you speak so sharply, and you still have such a nuanced side. ”
"What's the matter, I'm hot, what's the matter with the general looking for me?" Orange Creek deliberately fanned herself with her hands to hide her inner uneasiness.
"Today I went hunting, I caught a deer, and I have sent it to the house, and you come to my tent in the evening, and we will have dinner together, would you like?"
"Willing, of course willing, but in vain, why does the general treat me so favorably?" Orange Creek didn't think about it, so she agreed, and she almost jumped up happily.
Herb put his hand on Orange Creek's shoulder, "You're a meritorious person! I have to thank you so much, you and I are so speculative, can we be brothers of the opposite sex? ”
"What? Righteousness? Listening to Heber's words, Orange Creek's eyes widened in surprise, and the eyeballs were about to roll out.
"What? Brother Zhou is unwilling? ”
"This ...... It's not that I don't want to ”
"That's great, in the future, you will call me eldest brother, and I will call you Brother Ran, how about it?"
