Chapter 285: Northbound (4500 Words)

Before leaving, Zheng Xiu deliberately asked Huo Yu for ten chapters.

For example, his people only obey his command, his daily life is completely taken care of by Fengbei, he needs to sleep in the same tent as Fengbei, his diet is determined by him, and if there is any deviation in his itinerary, he must not ask.

After saying all ten chapters, Huo Yu's temperament was refreshing, and he nodded in agreement.

Zheng Xiu finally threw out the eleventh chapter of the covenant: even if you forget the first ten chapters, it is forgivable, but the eleventh chapter must be remembered and must not be committed. That is, don't provoke the orange cat, especially the fish cake behind it.

Huo Yu didn't understand this, but said that King Chi was a cat lover, and that's it.

For the sake of the Red King's face, the cat will not move if it does not move.

But if it's really moving, will the kitten still bite?

Huo Mi passed on the words of the Red King. Most of the soldiers in the army were straight-hearted, and they just laughed when they heard the words, and most of them didn't take it to heart.

Orange cat in the disaster prevention bureau, although it is named as "cat pillar", but even the emperor does not know the special features of orange cats, like other people, people who have never seen orange cats out of their claws, all take it for granted that this is just the bad taste of the red king, orange cats in the name of "cat pillars" sit in the disaster prevention bureau, there is a bit of "mascot" taste.

Even if you know, you probably won't believe that the combat effectiveness of all the people in this line may not be as good as a gluttonous cat.

The origin of this cat is known to many people, it is the era when the night is still young, a poor orange cat that has not grown into a "soul-attracting lamp". If the orange cat's hair turns black, it is a soul-attracting lamp, and if it does not turn black, it is a defective product.

The orange cat is still the orange cat, but it has long been stiff, and the stuffing has been secretly changed in the bun.

Disapplauded by Huo Xiu, the orange cat squatting on Zheng Xiu's shoulder looked harmless and innocent, tilted his head, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Meow? ”

Huo Yu smiled, stretched out his big furry hand and touched the orange cat's head.

The orange cat first dodged in disgust, but did not completely dodge, and finally watched with a cold face as Huo Yu took his hand away.

Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Huo Yu walked back to the military formation, felt a chill on the back of his neck, reached out and touched it, nothing happened, and secretly wondered.

Arriving at the city gate, Huo Mi showed the soldiers defending the city an edict to leave the city.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fengbei, who has never liked to come into contact with others, rarely took the initiative to take a few steps, and was close to Yue Linglong, who was silently following the team all the way.

"Zheng Xiu's wife, Fengbei. There is a phoenix that comes to the ceremony, and the north goose flies south to the north. ”

Strictly speaking, the relationship between Fengbei and Yue Linglong is first-come, first-served.

In the face of Fengbei's friendliness, Yue Linglong just glanced up at Fengbei and nodded, without the slightest anxiety and shame, and even without the consciousness of facing the "big woman", she only said three words: "Yue Linglong." ”

Feng Bei returned to Zheng Xiu's side in a daze.

Zheng Xiu secretly squeezed Fengbei's little hand without hesitation: "Look, I said it, it's just a political marriage, it's not emotional." ”

Feng Bei smiled and shook his head, and after being slightly deflated, he recovered his mood and didn't mind.

I saw Feng Bei turn around a few steps, and listen with his eyes closed from time to time.

After a while, Feng Bei whispered to Zheng Xiu's ear, blowing hot air softly: "I think there is something else hidden." ”

Zheng Xiu was blown to itch his ears, and his palms were nine heavy and one light, and he asked casually: "Are you eavesdropping again?" ”

"Hmm." Feng Bei generously admitted this time, and there was suddenly a touch of sadness in his tone: "I heard it...... The sorrow in her heart. ”

When Zheng Xiu heard this, his face was shocked, and the movements in his hands paused.

Nimaddi, is it so bitter to marry this king?

Zheng Xiu couldn't help but think of the [Affinity] column on the [Post Station], which was marked with "disgust". At the end, Zheng Xiu sighed lightly: "There is really no happiness in an arranged marriage. ”

The two walked hand in hand, grinding their ears and temples from time to time, and they were extremely cordial, treating others as if they were air.

Seeing this, Huo Yu, who was walking behind, opened his mouth. glanced at the princess of the northern kingdom, and then looked at the red king who was flirting with his original wife, and felt that this was not good.

"Do you want to talk to your master?"

Huo Yu secretly poked Qing Thirteen's waist and eyes: "Ahem, the two countries are friends, so you have to give the princess a little face, right?" ”

"You're going to say?"

Qing 13 glanced at Huo Yu, both of them were young, they both had stories when they were young, and now they are both coachmen for big shots. Such a similar experience made Qing 13 and Huo Mi unconsciously familiar, Hu Kanshi has a common language, and it is difficult to find a secret acquaintance, close at hand, between the teams of the Shenwu Army and the Red King, it is Huo Mi and Qing 13 who are the most compatible.

Looking at each other for a moment, the two understood in their hearts, looked at each other, and sighed: "People are under the eaves,"

Qing 13 grinned: "I have to bow my head!" ”

The two high-fived.

Syllable!

"General Huo, it has been verified, and it is indeed the Holy Lord's Decree."

"Release!"

In fact, if this time it was led by any of the generals who often appeared in the army, the procedure might not need to be so cumbersome. It's all because Huo Mi has been retired for many years, and now he has a group of soldiers, and it's normal for the soldiers on duty to be cautious.

Not far outside the city, a group of black wind horses snorted restlessly on the side of the road, turning into a white gas in the cold, adding a bit of heat to the weather. Tied to the black wind horse queue on the tree, there were more than a dozen barbarians with fur and thick beards sitting on the ground, they were surrounded by a group, sitting on the snow with a big grin, singing in unison in barbarian language, singing loudly and debauched, so that many passing merchants and pawns walked by in fear, for fear that the barbarians would be wild and inappropriate and kill indiscriminately.

Among them, an old man with gray hair and a bald area on the top of his head stood out among a group of sturdy brutes. His face was already covered with wrinkles, deep and shallow like a knife carving, Zheng Xiu glanced at it, and at first glance he noticed that the one-foot-long beard on the old man's chin was braided into several bundles of small braids, and there were weathered bone ornaments strung between the whips.

Jingle, and the bone ornaments on the beard made a crisp sound as the old man got up. The old man walked towards the group with unhurried steps, his tightly knit brows relaxed, and he beckoned to Yue Linglong from a distance: "Ouch, princess, you have finally come out!" ”

When the old man approached, Zheng Xiu saw clearly that most of the bone ornaments strung on his beard were in the shape of "wolf head" and "moon". Zheng Xiu remembered that when Yue Linglong introduced herself, she said that she was a member of the "Moon Clan", and suddenly realized.

"The wolf's head and the crescent moon should be the totem of their clan."

Yue Linglong stepped forward to help, the old man asked something in a low voice, Yue Linglong lowered her head and was silent for a moment, shaking her head.

"Is he?"

Zheng Xiu's attention fell on the old man with the braided beard.

Huo Yu saw the doubts written on Zheng Xiu's face, and took the initiative to explain: "His name is Samba, and he is the envoy who is really responsible for negotiating with the Ministry of Rites in this barbarian." ”

Samba?

The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched, this name ...... Never mind.

After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Xiu's brows twisted and relaxed, and the changes were extremely fast. No wonder Yue Linglong ran to the Red King's Mansion every night, and the affairs of the two countries had already been secretly discussed.

As a princess, Yue Linglong is not an envoy to the negotiations between the two countries, but a ...... Chip.

In other words, it is a "tool" used to link the relationship between the two countries.

Zheng Xiu felt a little unhappy inexplicably in his heart, Huo Yu patted Zheng Xiu's back, and said with a smile: "Come on, be content, pick up a lady for nothing, and don't lose anything." ”

King Chi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. Huo Yu did not delve further into this topic.

After the envoy Samba and the princess converged, more than a dozen barbarians suddenly got up and shook off a storm of snow.

They looked at the Shenwu Army and his party, their faces were unkind, and their eyes were as vigilant and cold as beasts.

"Almost."

Huo Yu ordered people to blow the horn, and the sound of the horn came out far away, piercing the sky.

After a while, the flags fluttered, and a phalanx of 100 people were all riding elite war horses, and the snow was flying behind them, galloping towards this side.

Thundered......

The ground was shaking secretly, and the battle of the hundred-man phalanx was as if it was charging on the battlefield, and it was terrifying to look at it from a distance.

Zheng Xiu's face froze, no wonder when Chinese New Year's Eve Weiyang would use the "military formation" to measure the strength and level of the wizard, Zheng Xiu stared at it, vaguely noticed that when the phalanx charged, an invisible momentum seemed to twist together, becoming a whole, facing the charging military formation, Zheng Xiu subconsciously gave birth to a sense of powerlessness in an instant.

Call~

As the hundred-man army charged, the snow clouds in the sky were silently rushed out of a large hole. The hundred-man army formation was like a sharp knife, soaring into the sky, splitting the clouds in the sky, and a bottomless crack appeared visibly in the clouds, which was rapidly tearing in the direction of Zheng Xiu.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiu secretly smacked his tongue. This can no longer be explained simply by "momentum", but only by "doorway". The shortcut to get a glimpse of the doorway is to play, and the soldiers who live a boring military life and march day after day, year after year, will never be able to see the relevant doorway.

In Zheng Xiu's doorway map, he had already speculated that "soldiers" and "generals" had a place in it, but he didn't know where they were.

"Phew~"

The first person took the lead in rushing out of the military formation, and the speed of the hundred-man army formation decreased sharply, and the pace was unified.

The person who came wore a helmet and a hat, and the red tassels were towering, and he was handsome and mighty.

"The last general, Shen Shizong, has been guarding Haoran Pass for twenty years, and he has seen General Huo!"

Shen Shizong dismounted, took off his helmet, and sandwiched it squarely in the space between his left hand and armpit, revealing an upright and middle-aged face. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Hok, looking up with excitement and adoration on his face.

"He's still yours...... Junior? Zheng Xiu turned around and couldn't help but smile at Huo Yu, he wanted to say "fan", but he changed his words when he said it. Shen Shizong looked at Huo Yu's expression, as if he was a brainless fan.

"Don't mess with all these empty heads!" Huo Yu angrily reprimanded Shen Shizong: "How many years has Lao Tzu been disarmed and returned to the field, and he was ordered to be in danger!" Don't be foolish, now this is where the Red King has the final say. ”

Huo Yu winked at Shen Shizong.

Shen Shizong was stunned when he heard this, his eyes turned to Zheng Xiu, his gaze straightened, and he knelt on the ground and forgot to get up.

"No need to be polite."

As soon as Zheng Xiu's words fell, Shen Shizong's straight eyes trembled, his pupils trembled like an earthquake, his eyes were filled with tears, and he lost his voice: "Zheng, General Zheng!" ”

"He is the world-famous Prince Zheng, the Red King, Zheng Haoran's only son, Zheng Xiu!"

Huo Yu pulled up Shen Shizong and introduced him to him.

Shen Shizong has been guarding the border for 20 years, and he has long forgotten the changes of the years outside, and 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. When Zheng Haoran went north, he was still a fledgling miscellaneous soldier and admired Zheng Haoran very much.

Now Zheng Xiu is standing there, with handsome eyebrows, a resolute face, a smile, friendly and easy-going, but his eyes are full of unconcealable fierceness and heroism, just at a glance, Shen Shizong seemed to see Zheng Haoran standing in front of him twenty years ago, and he lost his temper for a while, and his mouth was talking nonsense.

"Is it really that like?"

Zheng Xiu touched his face, Zheng Haoran's face had long been blurred, he only vaguely remembered that his father was a tiger with a bear's waist, tall and mighty, and a thick beard.

My father often went to the barracks before his death and left him and his mother at home.

After some greetings, Zheng Xiu learned that in addition to the hundred-person phalanx of Huo Yu, Shen Shizong also led the hundred-person phalanx, a total of two hundred elites, escorting and his party, all the way to the north, crossing the borders of the Northern Barbarian countries.

After confirming that there were no more soldiers waiting ahead, Zheng Xiu's heart was slightly relieved.

Two hundred people, even the elite of the army, can never go to war.

If you want to defeat the Northern Barbarians with 200 people, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

But after feeling a little relieved, Zheng Xiu thought about it and chuckled in his heart.

Wait.

This doesn't mean that if they enter the border of the Northern Barbarian Country, once the barbarians turn their faces and deny their accounts, these two hundred people will not even be able to turn over the slightest wave?

Glancing back at the monks, Pei Gaoya, Fengbei, and Qing Thirteen and Fourteen, Zheng Xiu secretly asked if there were fewer people on this trip.

It's just that Zheng Xiu also has scruples, he was afraid that something would happen to his family at first, first, because Ji Hongrong's husband was weak and needed someone to take care of him, so he asked Ji Hongrong to be in charge of commanding the brotherhood. And on the side of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Zheng Xiu also greeted Wei Chen and Yin Qingqing in advance, and if there is any change, he can contact Chang Shihui at any time, and after some arrangement, Zheng Xiu can rest assured that he will take Fengbei and others to travel far away, so as not to empty the Chiwang Mansion and leave people with the opportunity to steal their homes.

Taking 10,000 steps back, now Zheng Xiu has mastered the skills of opening the rift and walking on the Bund, leaving the [Time Demon] post station in the imperial city, Fengbei and the monk are strangers, although it is inevitable to be attacked by filth in the Bund, but in case of time, Zheng Xiu can anchor the [Time Demon] post station at any time, and it will be thousands of miles in an instant.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu looked at the two hundred energetic soldiers, and his heart was settled. He held the orange cat on his shoulder in his arms, and the orange cat looked disgruntled at first, meowed what you wanted to do, and wagged its tail.

Zheng Xiu secretly drew cakes in the cat's ear: "No matter what, you have to protect our people, once a few of us have a problem, there is no monk to clean the cat nest for you, no Fengbei to make fish cakes for you, no Qing 13 to take care of your house, no Pei Gaoya...... It seems that nothing has happened to him, there is no king to spank you, think about it, how dark and dull your future days should be? ”

When the orange cat heard this, he thought about it and stared at it, which seemed to be the truth.

So the orange cat raised its cat's paw towards Zheng Xiu, and the thumb claw and the eating claw were bent, comparing a "reassuring" claw shape.

The barbarians rode on the Black Wind Horse.

The Black Wind Horse is tall and mighty, and its dark red eyes are murderous. The barbarians looked at the war horses under the seat of the Shenwu Army, the black wind horses were indeed of good quality, and the neighing frightened war horses kicked the horses' hooves uneasily, as if they were suppressed in blood, the barbarians laughed wantonly, said words they couldn't understand in their mouths, and their eyes could not hide their contempt, as if they had been aggrieved for many days, and finally relieved their evil spirits.

"Hehehe."

Huo Yu's eyes were cold, he smiled, rubbed his palms, and muttered, "Isn't this little barbarian living a good life?" ”

At this time, Shen Shizong brought a few horses over.

Pei Gaoya, Qing Thirteen, and Fengbei each chose one.

Yue Linglong silently walked towards the barbarian who laughed loudly.

"Stop."

Zheng Xiu tightened the reins, stepped on the stirrups and turned over, looking at Yue Linglong's thin back, Zheng Xiu suddenly drank lightly.

Yue Linglong looked back calmly, without joy or sorrow.

Although Zheng Xiu didn't call her name, Yue Linglong knew that this man would only speak to her in such an indifferent tone.

"Have you forgotten who you are now?"

Zheng Xiu motioned to Fengbei with his eyes not to be impatient, and said indifferently facing the moon.

Yue Linglong sighed in her heart and nodded resignedly: "Yes...... Husband. ”

She walked to Zheng Xiu's side, clumsily trying to flip on the horse's back, Zheng Xiu didn't mean to take a handle at all, and the horse's ass twisted around, almost turning Yue Linglong upside down.

The laughter of the barbarians suddenly stopped, their faces turned black, and they lost their cheerfulness in an instant.

Ask for a commuter pass!
