309. General Ben willingly

Seeing him sneer and leave, I suddenly woke up, hurriedly got off the couch and chased after him barefoot without even putting on shoes, and when I chased after him, I grabbed his arm with both hands and shouted urgently: "You can't attack the capital!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and stared at me with a cold gaze, "Why?" ”

"I have no husband, my family is gone, my husband is gone, and I am only left with my old mother in the city, and you can't destroy my last home."

"Oh? It turns out that your mother's house is in the city, so wait for me to open the city gate and go to your house to drink a pot of tea. ”

His heart sank to the bottom, is he determined to attack the capital? Even Zhu Di was abandoned when he was besieged at Napuzikou? The person in front of me is really no longer the Zhu Gaoxu I know, in the past, with his awe of Zhu Di, he was afraid that he would immediately lead the troops to rush to the rescue, but now he even ignores his own father for the sake of power.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to me, and I didn't have time to dodge before I was caught off-guard, his chin was pinched and raised, and his dark eyes locked on my eyes, he approached, and his breath spat on my face: "What do you mean by this expression?" Isn't General Ben welcome to come to your house? ”

I was silent.

Suddenly I had a feeling that Zhu Gaoxu never seemed to believe me, otherwise why would he say this? But now it's not a question of whether he believes it or not, but if he raises troops to attack the city, then this battle will be terminated early! Without Sheng Yong's main army to defend it, I am afraid that only the imperial forest army of the palace is left in the city, how can thousands of people resist this Zhu Gaoxu's tens of thousands of troops?

However, what I didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoxu actually took me on the march, he rode on a black horse as the commander, and the generals on the left and right of the army, and I was guarded by two soldiers and walked on foot behind the horse team.

At first, my heart became heavier and heavier when I looked at the direction of the march, and I didn't think that I was about to get to the bottom of the city, but I didn't think that the front suddenly stopped. Then I lined up a whole line of soldiers and I was pulled aside, looking at the neat and imposing appearance of this army, as if I had returned to the time when I joined the army with Ah Ping, but at that time I was fighting against foreign enemies side by side with Zhu Gaoxu, and this time I pointed the spearhead at Ah Ping.

Really...... This time and that time, time has passed, and things have changed.

I thought that Zhu Gaochu was going to give the order to attack the city next, but the queue was divided into two groups, and Zhu Gaochu rode his horse to the front, but he turned his horse's head and walked in the other direction. I was still stunned, and was pushed by the soldiers next to me and shouted, "Keep up." "I have no choice but to chase after the trot, and I am full of doubts, is this a tactic? Do you want to go around to the West Gate? But after a while, I found that the whole team was deviating from the direction and getting farther and farther away from the capital.

Suddenly realized! Zhu Gaoxu led troops to the city to play a deterrent role, he deliberately stopped his troops five miles away from the city so that the defenders on the city wall saw the upward report, which made the soldiers in the city panic, but in fact, he led the main force to Puzikou to support Zhu Di after building momentum.

After all, he didn't do that kind of thing of betraying his ancestors!

I can't tell what it feels like in my heart, it is a good thing for Ah Ping that he can abandon Kyoto at this time to return to Zhu Di, but when the army here rushes to Puzikou, I am afraid that Sheng Yong will be defeated and the southern army will finally be defeated.

Yan Qi's intention is to ask me to drag Zhu Gaoxu, at present, I am running with the army, but how can I drag people when the troops are transported like a god? Maybe this is Zhu Gaoxu's punishment, my physical strength is not as good as these soldiers who have been trained all year round, and I feel that my legs are sore after running for two miles, and I am panting like a cow and almost out of breath.

As soon as I slowed down, the people behind me caught up, and I was pushed to the ground, and I instinctively closed my eyes and hugged my head when I saw that a stampede was about to happen. But when I heard a sharp whistle, and then the sound of footsteps stopped, I opened my eyes in amazement, and saw that the soldiers who were originally running were standing on both sides, and Zhu Gaoxu rode back on a black horse and looked at me condescendingly.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about, anyway, I've been embarrassed under this look, and it's not bad.

He got up from the ground and patted the mud on his body, calmly as if nothing had happened just now.

"Cheng Qian, you are responsible for keeping an eye on her." only heard Zhu Gaoxu's deep order, and then turned his horse's head and continued to march.

Probably because of the sudden roughness of the terrain, the pace of the march slowed down, and I didn't have to sprint anymore, just quicker on my feet. But such a long walk continued to drain my physical strength, and by the end of the day my legs were trembling, and at last I heard the order to stop and rest.

I dragged my weak legs to the edge of the tree and sat down, wiping the sweat from my forehead with my sleeves, and I felt like I was about to collapse. I really had a weakened constitution due to frequent injuries, and I didn't have to breathe when I walked back to Batou Village from Ginkgo Village.

Just as I was thinking that someone was approaching, something was suddenly thrown on me, and then I heard the man say, "The general ordered you to eat." I looked up in a daze, and saw that it was the general called Shadow, and what he threw over was an oiled paper bag, and it was obvious that oil was spilling out of the oiled paper. I opened it and saw that it was a big fat chicken leg again.

The scene of eating that bowl of chicken leg rice in the morning has not disappeared, and I really don't want to eat this big chicken leg, even if I am tired and hungry at this time. It is true that it is very easy to get hungry when the physical exertion is fast, and I have eaten a whole bowl of rice in the morning, and I feel hungry again. I saw that the soldiers on the left and right were taking out dry food to nibble, and occasionally their eyes were shooting towards this side, and their eyes were afraid that they were very envious that I had a chicken leg.

Reluctantly, he peeled off the chicken skin, and was about to bite when he suddenly heard a question from behind his head: "Why don't you eat chicken skin?" ”

I turned my head and saw Zhu Gaoxu standing behind me at some point. hesitated and replied, "I feel a little greasy and can't eat it." ”

His eyes flashed, as if there was some emotion passing through him, and he sat down beside him, holding a dry piece of bread in his hand. He whispered to me in a thick voice, "Look at what? I gave you a total of two chicken legs, and I, the general, could only gnaw dry food. I didn't hesitate to hand him the oiled paper packet, but he didn't take it, and he didn't make a sound as he bit down on the dry cake.

I had to retract my hand, and my hands and mouth were oily under one chicken leg, and there was nowhere to wipe it, so I simply wiped it on my body.

"I can get to Puzikou in the evening, don't you ask why General Ben wants to bring you with you?" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke.

I turned my eyes sideways to look at him, deliberately sneering: "How can we ordinary people figure out your general's thoughts?" He snorted heavily, anger flashed in his eyes, and his gaze shot sharply: "It seems that the lesson of the morning is not enough, and you dare to talk to General Ben like this." I looked away from him timidly, and asked in a low voice, "Then why did you take me to war?" ”

There was a hint of cruelty in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes: "General Ben wants you to feel for yourself what the war is going on in your mouth." ”

"Can't you just let me go? I've already said I'm not a spy anymore. ”

He grinned and said, "You are indeed not a spy, but General Ben just doesn't want to let you go so early." ”

Heartleak skipped a beat, "Why?" "What did he mean by that sooner or later he would let me go?

"No, General Ben willingly."

This kind of willful Zhu Gaoxu is like a teenager in the past, but the tone of his speech and his gloomy look always make me feel uncomfortable. After only half an hour of rest, I had to continue marching again, but when I got up, I felt that my legs were not my own, and the calf muscles were so sore that I couldn't move, and after resting for a while, I couldn't take a step.

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

I wanted to shake my head, because the poor in general, especially women, would not have the opportunity to ride a horse, but at this time I would definitely not be able to walk. Glancing at the horse team, he couldn't help but feel a little longing, but he still obeyed his heart and nodded and replied, "Yes." "Don't explain more, otherwise it will seem to be covered.

Without saying a word, Zhu Gaoxu asked the deputy general to bring me a brown and black horse, and then he didn't care about me and rode on the horse. The brown and black horses are tall for me, and the ponies I have ridden before have been specially picked, and it took a lot of effort to climb on the horse, and when I looked up, I saw Zhu Gaoxu turning his head to look at the scene of me getting on the horse.

It may be that this war horse is violent in nature, and when I climbed on the horse's back to pull the reins, it suddenly screamed, and the front hooves were raised, and I was so frightened that I hugged the horse's neck and clamped the horse's belly with my legs, so that I could barely be thrown off the horse's back.

Before I could breathe my breath when the horse's hooves fell, I felt the horse move beneath me, and I was lying on the horse's back and hugging the horse's neck, with no free hand to pull the reins. And as the horse galloped faster, I couldn't get up straight, something I had never encountered before, and I didn't know what to do, so I could only watch as I was carried out of the crowd by the Crazy Horse and scurried out of the way.

The speed of the horse became faster and faster, and I felt that the noise behind me was fading away, and my mind was blank at this time, and I only knew that my limbs were stiff and grabbed the horse's body. It was as if the horse was running without an end, and it was impossible to know where it would go, but it was the sudden appearance of the figure in my sight that caused my blank thoughts to change. As my eyes gradually focused, I saw that the figure was Zhu Gaoxu riding a big black horse and rushing to the front of my horse's side, as if he was trying to stop my horse from galloping.

He's here to save me?!
