Chapter 53: A Soldier Who Wants to Be a General
"Three village masters, then I will say goodbye first, and I wish you great things to be done!"
Yan Shuangying, Jin Abacus, and Yilintian also surrendered to the flower scorpion:
"I wish you great things."
After leaving the teahouse, the flower scorpion turned and plunged into the night, stepping on the pine branches, galloping like the wind, and soon returned to the woods where he had settled before.
She first hid in the shadows to see if Wang Chao and the four of them were aware of it.
At this time, there was no one on the back of the four horses, and the horses were grazing idly, looking a little tired.
That's also, being shocked by a horse once, it is estimated that it is more difficult than traveling thousands of miles a day.
After babbling in the jungle for a long time, Wang Chao and the four of them put on their armor and walked out of the forest with one hand around the woman who was lingering just now.
The corners of the flower scorpion's mouth curled, and he also appeared and mocked:
"Yo, the military master is very capable, the little girl took a nap, you should take the opportunity to be happy!"
Wang Chao was a little embarrassed, touching his head and not speaking.
"Why are you shy, I didn't see you so cowardly just now!"
and Wang Chaohao's concubine smiled and smiled.
Zhang Long and the others glanced at each other, and after the Milky Way leaked to the ground, they began to be afraid in their hearts.
So each of them took out a tael of silver from his pocket, and prepared to give it to his concubine.
"A few ladies, we'...... Confused for a while, I hope not to tell our general, otherwise, these hundred military sticks will not be able to escape. ”
Their martial arts cultivation is not high, and a hundred military sticks will definitely hurt their muscles and bones.
Zhang Long's concubine squinted, and said in disgust:
"A tael of silver, what about sending it to Hanako? The most inferior Oiran in your capital building is more than one or two pieces of silver, right? ”
"That's it, don't you all say that you soldiers make a fortune, it's too boring. It's a shame that I just worked so hard to serve you! ”
Zhao Hu's concubine also hammered him in the chest with a small fist.
Zhang Long: They were trained a little embarrassed.
There is not much money for being a soldier, especially the recruits of their loyal battalion, who have never fought, have no military merits, and are so poor that they are tinkling.
When the soldiers eat food, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the barracks, and the recruits get two taels of silver per month.
The empress respects Confucianism alone, rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the soldiers have to bring some to their homes every month, and there is not much left.
Ma Han was more clever, his eyes rolled around, and he hugged his concubine and smiled:
"Don't be angry, ladies and gentlemen, when we arrive in Yunzhou, we should send this month's salary, and then give the ladies two taels."
The concubine glanced at him: "Even if you have a little conscience, I won't beat you." Hee-hee! ”
The flower scorpion saw that he had been confused, and hurriedly came out to build a ladder for the four of them to go downstairs:
"Okay, a few military masters are not monks, don't you just drill a grove, and besides, you are not a yellow flower girl, don't make people dirty with your innocence."
Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, he finally came to be reasonable, it was obviously the four of them who made the first move just now, and it was really not bad for us.
"Shoot more belly."
The flower scorpion said: "My body has improved, let's go, catch up with the front, this barren mountain and wild mountains, I am really afraid that the mountain bandits will suddenly come out." ”
"Yes, let's go."
Nine people, four horses, Wang Chao enjoys happiness, like a sandwich biscuit, a village girl in front and behind.
galloped all the way, and finally caught up with the army of grain in front.
There are many people with mixed eyes, and the scorpions vigilantly find their group of village girls.
came to Shui Wuxian and whispered:
"The big boss is done."
Shui Wuxian was relieved, he was worried that he would not be able to pass on the news, but now he was finally at ease.
"Very good, count the number of people, and at this speed of travel, we will arrive at the Circumambulation Valley at noon tomorrow."
The second master, the black rose, and the third master, the flower scorpion, began to look around the crowd.
Black Rose frowned:
"The big boss, Chun Tao, Chun Yu, and Chun Xi have not come back yet. I think something really happened. ”
Shui Wuxian muttered in his heart, if he was really looking for a man to be happy, he wouldn't be missing for a day or two.
"Forget it, time is pressing, I don't have time to care about the three of them, don't look for me to share the spoils when I turn around, the old lady will slap them."
Black Rose was more thoughtful, and she thought more deeply:
"The three of them, do you know our plan?"
If they knew, if they fell into the hands of the officials and soldiers, the plan would be completely ruined.
Shui Wuxian thought about it carefully, and then shook his head:
"At first, only the four of us knew about this plan. I didn't tell you about the Scorpion until today, and the three of them disappeared two days ago. ”
Black Rose nodded, so much more relieved.
Although the Hehuan faction is notorious in the green forest, the sisters have always been more united.
And the black rose and the flower scorpion are both water without a trace of henchmen, and they are naturally quite reliable.
……
The army marched all the way until noon the next day.
There are still ten miles away from the entrance of the intestinal valley, start cooking on the stove, and pass through the valley after eating, and it is more dangerous to delay a little.
Mu Bai's carriage stopped under a towering tree, and Suoxin and Furong went to the stream to fetch water, ready to make tea for Mu Bai.
Zhou Pu led thousands of troops to survey the terrain.
Mu Bai was shaking a feather fan in the car, and it was as hot as an oven on this day.
At this time, Wang Chao, who was in charge of staring at the flower scorpion, came to Mu Bai's carriage:
"My lord, according to your orders, we secretly let a village girl go out to ventilate and report the news."
In fact, it was Li Mu who issued the task according to Mu Bai's instructions.
But Wang surpassed Li Mu and reported directly to Mu Bai.
This is taboo in the military.
And he didn't say anything about Ma Zhen, the four village girls.
Mu Bai opened the curtain of the carriage and his eyes sank:
"Who went out?"
Wang Chao said: "It's the one who said he was not feeling well." ”
"Okay, they didn't suspect it, did they?"
Wang Chao said with great certainty: "No." ”
Mu Bai looked at Wang Chao, and his eyes sharpened:
"Wang Chao, you have a rouge smell on your body, do you have something to hide from me?"
"Uh...... Adult ......"
Wang Chao didn't expect Mu Bai to have a pair of dog noses, so he hurriedly knelt down, and arched his hands high:
"My lord, let's not hide it, they used beauty tricks to entangle the four of us, and we can only plan in order not to startle the snakes."
Mu Bai nodded and sneered: "Okay, you used three tricks in a row!" Terrific. You can be a military advisor! ”
Wang Chao was not very happy when he heard Mu Bai's words, and wanted to explain:
"My lord, I shouldn't hide my humble duties from you, I won't do it again in the future, I hope your lord will enjoy it."
Mu Bai fluttered his feather fan, shook his head and said:
"You skip General Li and report to the next level, I don't like it. If you conceal the truth, you should have been punished. Thinking of your meritorious service, I will not pursue it for the time being. See how you perform later. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Wang Chao was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he thought that Mu Bai would give up on him.
Mu Bai could see that Wang Chao was a little careful, but a soldier who didn't want to be a general was definitely not a good soldier.
Wang Chao was about to get up and leave, and a white palm stretched out from the car window, holding five taels of silver on it.
"Take it."
"My lord, since the lowly post has no merit and no fault, you can't take this reward, and wait for the lowly post to make military merits, and then show it to the lord."
Leave the next sentence and turn to leave.
Mu Bai was very relieved, these five taels of silver were Wang Chao's last chance.
If he takes it, Mu Bai will not trust him again in the future.
If you don't take it, it means that you can still use it a lot.
It seems that this Wang Chao is a man, dare to do it.
At lunchtime, Zhou Pu took Sun Qianjun and Song Wanma, the three of them were sweating profusely, and hurriedly came to Mubai's carriage.
Zhou Pu said to the two: "You go to rest first, and I will report to the adults." ”
"Yes!"
After the two left, Zhou Pu came to the carriage with an embarrassed face.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" Mu Bai looked light and breezy.
Zhou Pu frowned: "Brother, I'm not at ease, so I personally went to survey the terrain around the intestinal valley just now, as the saying goes, the paper is shallow, I don't know if I don't see it, I see it with my own eyes, and I know how dangerous it is." ”
Zhou Pu paved the way, but Mu Bai was still unmoved.
He had no choice but to ask, "I'll make sure for sure, are you really sure?" ”
