The crowd traveled a hundred miles away, and the journey was still under the control of the Northwest Army, and it was safe and sound. Zhang Qian had already ordered the army to obey the orders of Wang Yangming, the captain of the Liupin Zhaowu Martial Army, and he himself would obey Wang Yangming's words. Because Zhang Qian knew that there was no doubt about employing people, Wang Yangming had already been an expert in desert marching after a hundred battles in the desert, and if they wanted to move forward smoothly, they must listen to Wang Yangming's orders. Although the eunuch Wang Zhen was unconvinced, he was not good at refuting Zhang Qian's face as soon as he set off, and he had to be secretly patient with Wang Yangming's orders.

When they went further, they arrived at the border of the Exquisite Kingdom, and Great Xia and the Absolute Perfection had already started a war, and there was no peace even on the surface, so the route of the march was very careful, just rubbing the southern border of the Exquisite Kingdom and quietly advancing. At night, the bright moon in the sky sprinkled a faint clear light, projecting everyone's black shadows on the vast desert, Wang Yangming saw that the army had been marching for a day, and the people were sleepy and tired, so he ordered everyone to set up camp tents and rest on the spot. However, everyone is required to keep quiet, not to make noise, not even to make a fire and cook, so as not to arouse the alarm of the border guards of the Elite Country, and everyone will only eat dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Wang Yangming arranged for the sentinels around him to be on guard, so he also found a place to sit down and eat dry food. As he was eating, he suddenly noticed a flash of fire not far in front of him, and then a pile of firewood seemed to be lit.

Wang Yangming was furious, and said in his heart that he had already explained so clearly, why did someone knowingly commit a crime, he hurriedly stepped forward, didn't care about anything else, and stepped on the firewood with one foot, and then scolded in a low voice: "Who the hell is looking for death, dare to make a fire at night!"

I heard the voice of a Piri Yangqiu next to the fire: "Captain Wang is so angry, our family is just itchy, and we want to make a fire and boil some water to take a bath, why did it make Captain Wang unhappy?"

I'm really afraid of something, it's none other than the eunuch Wang Zhen who spoke.

Wang Yangming was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to lose his manners on his face, and he didn't smile and said: "The lower officials don't know that it was the prince who started the fire, and there are many offenses in his words." It's just that you don't know, the fire at night in the desert is the most conspicuous, this is the border of the exquisite country, if it is discovered by their border guards, our team of people will be settled here. ”

That Wang Zhen snorted and disagreed: "Captain Wang also takes unwarranted threats too seriously. This desert is simply boundless, what's wrong with a fire, our house is not a bonfire, and the exquisite person is not a night owl, how can you find us. Captain Wang should not make a big fuss, grow the ambition of others for no reason, and destroy his own prestige. ”

Wang Yangming was about to refute, a person came over next to him, although his voice was low, but full of majesty, Wang Yangming listened to his voice, knew that Zhang Qian was coming, and thought that Zhang Qian was really coming, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with the scene in front of him.

Hearing Zhang Qian say, "Don't be angry. Ben Hou has already said in advance, traveling in the desert, all affairs must be at the disposal of Captain Wang, even Ben Hou is no exception. The prince is still patient and patient, and when we pass the realm of refinement, you will regenerate fire, and there must not be a big problem. Captain Wang, did I mean that? He deliberately aggravated the word Benhou, intending to remind Wang Zhen: He is the Marquis of Bowang who is the emperor's Qinfeng, and he still has to listen to Wang Yangming's dispatch, not to mention that you are a eunuch.

Wang Yangming nodded and said, "As long as we cross the realm of the Exquisite Realm and arrive at daylight, even if the prince lights a hundred bonfires, it doesn't matter." ”

Wang Zhen saw Zhang Qian standing on Wang Yangming's side, and thought that he would not be able to please him, so he had to swallow his anger at the moment, snorted, and went to take care of himself. Zhang Qian patted Wang Yangming's shoulder to show encouragement, and went back to rest. Wang Yangming took a long breath, and then went back to continue to nibble on dry food.

didn't take a few bites, and suddenly heard someone scolding in the place where the fire was lit just now, Wang Yangming heard the voice was sharp and thin, and knew that it was the prince who was doing the trick again. Wang Yangming was furious in his heart, thinking that you, a dead eunuch, didn't take the master's explanation to heart at all. He jumped up, ran to the prince in an instant, and shouted in a low voice: "Silence!"

When Wang Gonggong heard his voice, he stopped, but kicked a soldier next to him to the ground, the soldier was a soldier in the Eagle Yang Army, and his body was very strong, but he didn't dare to resist, just looked at Wang Zhen hatefully.

Wang Yangming had a life-and-death friendship with everyone in the Yingyang Army, and he didn't know why Wang Zhen suddenly kicked his own soldiers, so he asked solemnly: "What do you mean by this, why did you beat and scold my soldiers? And you shouted and scolded, and you violated my military order." If you let the Elite hear this scolding, you will kill all of us, you know!"

Wang Zhen saw that Wang Yangming was not polite to him, and he was furious in his heart, and scolded loudly: "You are a petty official with a sesame mung bean, can you teach your father-in-law a lesson? This stinky soldier sleeps not far from our house, snoring and making noise, what is wrong with our family kicking him? If this person is in the capital, this person harasses our family like this, our family will kill him, and no one will dare to say anything." ”

Wang Yangming was also tempered by him, pulled out the Fenglin Volcano Knife, and said: "Princes speak cleanly, they are all soldiers who contribute to the country, how dare you be so presumptuous in your words!"

Wang Zhen was about to scold again, but Zhang Qian had already arrived in front of the two of them, and stopped the two of them: "Why are you two arguing again? What's the matter?"

Wang Yangming reported the situation to Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian frowned, and was about to teach Wang Zhen a lesson, but he heard Wang Zhen say: "Zhang Houye, this Wang Xiaowei is a superb person on the left, and a superb person on the right, it seems that the exquisite man is a nine-headed monster, Wang Xiaowei is so timid, what else do we say to go to Khorezm, don't be frightened by the name of that exquisite person, I think according to the meaning of Wang Xiaowei, let's go back quickly, there will be no danger when we return to Jiayuguan." ”

Wang Yangming was furious, his hands danced a sword flower, and he was about to step forward, but suddenly he heard the sound of vigilance all around, and the sentry had already warned: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

All the people in the mission were not soldiers, and they hadn't reacted to what was going on, but the Yingyang soldiers were well-trained, and when the sentry gave a warning, they had already turned over and jumped up one by one, drew their weapons and stood in their respective positions, forming a big mandarin duck formation to protect everyone in the mission. Zhang Qian saw that the Ying Yang Army reacted so quickly, and admired in his heart, Wang Zhen was still scolding, but suddenly saw the agility of the Ying Yang Army, and the scolding words suddenly suffocated back and quieted down.

Zhang Qian saw that Wang Yangming looked nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Captain Wang, what's going on, how can you say that there is an enemy attack?"

Wang Yangming shook his head and said, "The sentinel warns that there must be an enemy attack." Calm down, Mr. Zhang, let's wait for the sentry to come back and speak. ”

Sure enough, a sentry ran back like a whirlwind and reported back to Wang Yangming: "Commander, there is an enemy with an unknown banner five hundred feet ahead, judging from the number of torches they have fired, the number is about 5,000, and it is obvious that they are coming towards us." ”
