Helan Yan didn't talk much on weekdays, but as soon as he said such a powerful word without opening his mouth, Guan Jiyu opened his mouth in surprise and looked at him blankly, so he could only take a closer look at his expression to judge whether he was joking.

His face is still calm and clear, and it is really difficult to teach people to distinguish the real from the fake.

She laughed awkwardly and said, "Hehe, Brother Helan, are you joking?" ”

Zhi Shu looked at Guan Jiyu, then at Helan Yan, and said, "That's right, there is a limit to your jokes, right?" The camp is heavily guarded, how can you bring a girl in for fun? ”

Helan continued to drink water, but smiled silently.

Guan Jiyu looked serious, and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Helan, if you are bored on the way, you can say these jokes and jokes, when we arrive at the border camp, you must not say these things again, if you are listened to by others, beware of being dragged by the general to be dealt with by military law." ”

"I didn't say it." He tightened the lid of the kettle and put it back in his bag, and said lightly: "You took the initiative to ask, and I said it." ”

The embarrassment on Guan Jiyu's face became more obvious, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and muttered to himself in his heart: I must not talk to this person again next time.

"Let's go, I don't usually see you talk so much nonsense." Jiang Yingnian had been walking silently at the front of the team, and at this time the sky was getting darker and darker, and he looked back at the few people who were talking impatiently, and finally locked his eyes on Guan Jiyu.

Guan Jiyu felt wronged in his heart, there were so many people who spoke, not to mention that she was not the one who started.

Jing Cun followed behind Jiang Yingnian, and when he saw this, he looked back and called, "Ah Yu, follow quickly." ”

Finally, at nightfall, they arrived at the camp on the northern border.

Chen Zhang took the personnel roster handed over by Guan Jiyu and the list of military supplies accompanying him, and immediately ordered someone to go to count them. He looked at the eight people in front of him, and first introduced himself: "I am Chen Zhang, the chapter of the article. He is the deputy general of the main army under the command of General Xiang. Then he said softly: "In the future, the heavy responsibility of guarding the border pass will have to be shouldered by you descendants!" You are all selected from major families, and the border area is extremely cold, and naturally it cannot be compared with your usual living environment. But once you have come, you will be safe, and I hope you will adapt to everything here as soon as possible, and I look forward to seeing what you can do. You go to supper first, and the general will come to see you later. ”

As soon as Chen Zhang's words fell, a soldier outside shouted: "Report-"

When he heard this, he responded: "Come in and report, what's the matter?" ”

The soldier walked in quickly, but he looked flustered, looked at the important task, and still walked up and whispered a few words to Chen Zhang.

Chen Zhang's complexion changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Does the general know?" ”

The soldier who came to report stabilized his voice and said, "The general is still resting, and his subordinates don't dare to be rashly disturbed, so they can only report to General Chen first!" ”

Chen Zhang's face had already turned pale, and he didn't say anything and went straight to Xiang Ju'an's tent.

Seeing this, Zhe Shu hurriedly asked Jingcun: "Hey! What's the matter, look at this General Chen, he was obviously fine just now, why did his face suddenly become so bad? I don't know, I thought I was attacked by the enemy! ”

Everyone was puzzled, but they could only follow Chen Zhang's instructions and solve the dinner by themselves.

Guan Jiyu felt faintly uneasy in her heart, this was just the first night of the camp, but the situation here was not as she imagined, General Chen's words were obviously not finished, what could make him suddenly look cold?

The newcomers all walked to the periphery of the tent and sat cross-legged on the fire, the smell of rice wafting from the rice cooked on the fire. Guan Jiyu broke the steamed bun in his hand, and he was in no mood to eat it anymore at the moment.

Just as he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps. Someone approached them, and the rush of the steps could be heard from a distance.

Hearing it, the heartbeat will not help but increase.

It was Chen Zhang, he strode over, there was obviously something suppressed in his voice, and he said: "There is bad news that I have to tell you, in the past two months, the Lone Phong Army has rushed to attack the Zeyun Pass twenty miles before my camp several times, and the Zouyun Pass is an important place on our border, and the move of the Lone Phong Army obviously poses a great threat to our border with North Korea. ”

He took a deep breath and continued: "The Lone Phong Army is extremely cunning, knowing that it will be difficult to capture the Zhiyun Pass in a short period of time, so it does not hesitate to take a long detour and quietly attack all the way from the dry sand canal west of the Zhiyun Pass to distract the attention of the main force of our army, which is really despicable. I am telling you this now just to tell you that the situation at the border pass is grim, General Xiang has already led his troops to Zeyun Pass, and you have no combat experience, so you should stay in the camp well, no matter what happens, don't leave the garrison camp! ”

After saying that, he hurried away again, and the soldiers in the main camp were alarmed, took out their combat equipment, and waited for the order to be dispatched.

After hearing these words, Jiang Yingnian bit off the last piece of steamed bun in his hand, patted the residue in his hand and said: "If you want me to say that although Zeyun Pass is the main place for defense, but what is it at the moment, oh yes, it is a dry sand canal, and the place of dry sand canal cannot be underestimated, and their move is not necessarily harassment, maybe it is a two-way attack before and after." ”

"Who knows? Anyway, General Chen wants us not to run around, we just listen to him. Zheshu usually eats a lot of food, and he has no intention of eating anymore at the moment, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his face is full of worry.

There was silence.

The reinforcements who came with them from the camp of the General's Mansion were all arranged by Chen Zhang to follow Xiang Lincheng to Zeyun Pass to defend against the enemy, except for the defensive soldiers left in the original camp, there were only eight of them left, and only eight of them, around this fire, quietly waiting for the dawn.

"How can it be!" Xu couldn't stand this long and boundless wait, Yu Shan of the Northern Qi Camp finally couldn't help but drop the chopsticks in his hand, and said angrily: "General Xiang in front is fighting the battlefield to resist foreign enemies, and my dignified eight-foot man, with no blood but can only sit here and wait stupidly, it's really ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!" ”

The people in the Northern Qi camp are all straightforward and resolute unique to northern men, and when they heard this, they all said: "Yes, we were called here to assist the general in resisting the enemy, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

When Zhi Shu heard this, he said helplessly: "We don't even have a map now, and we don't know anything about this here, even if we want to go out to help now, we will be black when we walk out of the camp." A place like a dry sand canal sounds like a desolate place where birds don't, and if we go there, isn't it clear that we are going to die? ”

Yu Shan glanced at Zhi Shu contemptuously, snorted coldly, and sneered with disdain: "Our Beixin men are never afraid of death. ”

It's the unique arrogance of this Beixin people!

They have always looked down on the wealth and wealth of the clans in the capital, and they also look down on the comfortable enjoyment of the land of smoke and rain in Nanqin.

The entire Xuli Dynasty was in turmoil for many years, and the northern border was constantly provoked, and these crises they never experienced, and only the people of Beixin could personally understand the grim situation in the north.

When Helan Yan heard this, he just said lightly: "No one is greedy for life and afraid of death, but before General Chen comes back, we had better guard the main camp of this army, this is our lair, as long as we stay here, we don't have to worry too much about Zeyun Pass, there is General Xiang there, we should believe him." It's not well guarded here, what else are you talking about to assist the general? ”

Seeing him come out and say a fair word, Guan Jiyu couldn't help but echo: "That's right, since we came out of the selection camp together, there should be no difference between north and south, and there should be no difference between regions and regions. Each of us is a child of the Xuli Dynasty, and the heart of each of us is exactly the same when the border is disturbed! Wait, wait, there will always be an answer at dawn! ”

They would never have imagined that the first night of arriving at the border would be such a difficult situation, and everyone would not sleep. The fire in front of him burned and jumped, just like everyone's mood this night, beating, uneasy.

One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach..

Before they had time to familiarize themselves with the terrain and the progress of the battle, they were forced into this panicked and urgent confusion in such an unprepared situation.

The cold night was long, and I don't know how long I waited before I saw a group of people in the distance.

Not only Guan Jiyu, almost everyone held their breath, watching the returning team approach, pass by, and then enter their respective camps.

The people who walk in the front can feel the blood and ruthlessness of the battlefield for a long time, even if they are far away. Holding the iron helmet in one hand, he strode along, the blood stains on the band between his foreheads had long since dried up.

Those bloodshot eyes, although tired, were still bright. He never looked at them from beginning to end, but General Chen, who was walking beside him, said something to him, and he listened attentively, but did not make an attitude.

He never squinted, as if nothing in the heavens and the earth had ever entered his eyes, and nothing had attracted him.

Even if the face is calm, it makes people feel not angry and arrogant.

When he passed by several of them, Guan Jiyu could even smell the blood on his iron armor.

The smell made her heart tighten.

Is he hurt? I wonder if the blood is his own or the enemy's?

What she can be sure of is that this must be the famous hussar general - Xiang Ju'an.

Although he and Xiang Lincheng are brothers, they are not like each other at all. Guan Jiyu just saw the waist card hanging from his waist - the unique waist card of the Beixinxiang Military Camp, the cloud pattern wolf emblem waist card.

Xiang Ju'an's face did not have a trace of gentleness that people could get close to, his temperament was majestic and fierce, his skin was rough and dark, and from head to toe were three words that were clear - a real man.

In fact, Jiang Yingnian did look up to him and pass by before he slowly came back to his senses and muttered, "This is a real man." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they only dared to look secretly, if those eyes met him, I was afraid that no one would dare to look at him.

Zheshu swallowed his saliva, and he didn't dare to come out. It took a long time to ask: "That must be Xiang Ju'an, General Xiang is right!" He's walking so fast, can you see his expression clearly? You say, with that expression, is he a winner or a loser? ”

Jing Cun shook his head and said, "There is no way to judge, a man like this kind of king is proud all his life." Win or lose, you can't tell anything from his face. ”
