Chapter 46: Don't Forget
When the large army moved, it was naturally like thunder and earth-shattering. Xie Yongzhao has been stationed in the frontier for 20 years, and the Northern Desert Army has long been well-trained, so naturally the cavalry will go first. Fortunately, Anshan Pass is close to the frontier and has its own grassland, and these military horses have been cultivated by him one by one in the past 20 years, and each one has spent a lot of energy. It's just that at this moment, Xie Yongzhao stared at the horse under the Wushan seat, and still couldn't help revealing his longing eyes.
I don't know how Wushan was trained, but there was such a one-in-a-million horse, and there was no fatigue along the way. Definitely a horse! He had raised horses for twenty years, and even among the steppe barbarians, he had never seen such outstanding horses!
At this time, even if he was carrying such a powerful Wushan on his back and a little girl, he still ran freely, and even the ups and downs on the horseback were not big. turned his face sideways and glanced at Wushan, he didn't ask at such a time, he just glanced at Ning Ning in Wushan's arms, and he was very emotional.
When it comes to teaching children, he doesn't have Wushan in the field, after all, even if he is he, he is reluctant to take children to the battlefield when they are only a few years old, let alone a female doll. That is, the Wu clan has always attached importance to women, so they will bring a girl to the battlefield. If this is placed in the mainland, the female doll will be condemned.
But anyway, this female doll is still pretty good.
One hand touched the little beard on his chin, and Xie Yongzhao secretly stared at Ning Ning from the corner of his eye. The little girl sat on horseback for a whole day, without a cry of bitterness, and occasionally stopped to rest, and she also obediently pinched the dry food and ate it, and that well-behaved appearance made him like it tightly. Hey, if this is my own female doll, it is estimated that it will not be brought to the battlefield, so it has to be kept at home and raised with fine clothes and food.
I don't know what Wushan is thinking......
At this time, Ning Ning nestled in her grandfather's arms, quietly looking at the rapidly receding scenery in front of her. It was a day when she saw a landscape that she had never seen before, and it was a novel experience for a child. She had seen large numbers of ant-like homeless people on the way to escape the wilderness, and there were many of them at that time, but it only made people feel hopeless. But now looking at these galloping troops, although Ning Ning is young, there is an inexplicable blood boiling in his heart. It's just this time, recalling what Grandpa said to her before.
"Ning Ning, I don't know if you can understand what I say now, but you firmly remember it and don't forget. I've been traveling for so many years, and I've seen a lot of things. ”
"A person's achievements in this life come from many aspects, but there is one reason that is undeniable. Whether or not you have a broad vision in childhood has a great impact on your future growth. ”
"Maybe you won't understand why I took such a big risk to bring you to the front of the battlefield until you grow up, and you may even complain about me when you become sensible, but I still hope that you can see more people at this time, see more different pictures, these things will be your accumulation and wealth in the future."
Did Grandpa mean anything by saying this?
Ning Ning's experience at the moment was not enough for her to understand Wushan's intentions, but from instinct, she understood that what her grandfather did was for her own good. She likes to farm, like to mow grass, likes to do farm work with everyone, likes life outside the house, but also likes the cold wind, boiling blood, and brewing momentum at this moment!
She is a little greedy girl, like a dry cloth, constantly absorbing the knowledge of the outside world, no matter what it is, she likes it. Therefore, Ning Ning felt that she would never blame her grandfather for this incident!
After galloping for three days, the fast horse finally reached the outside of Lu'an City, and the army temporarily stopped its pace, waiting for the return of the spies ahead.
While waiting, the general and Wu Shan stared at the crows and birds that were constantly circling in the sky above Lu'an City, with solemn expressions. In the past, in a densely populated place, these birds and finches would not approach at all, but now, they are so oppressive that they regard Lu'an City as their nest? It is conceivable what kind of miserable situation will be in Lu'an City now.
Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wu Shan had a faint guess in his heart. On the way they came, they met no one who had left, not a single one.
After a while, the spy who went to investigate finally returned, but the spy who was supposed to be calm and reliable turned pale, and if it weren't for the years of experience that made him keep calm no matter what, he would probably have shouted uncontrollably.
It's just that he endured it in the end, and quickly dismounted to reply to what he saw and heard.
"Report to the general, Lu'an City, there are only a few dozen people stationed in Lu'an City now, but they are stronger than ordinary refugees. It's just that inside the city, a foul smell rises from the city, and the subordinates walk along the city wall, but they can't hear any movement inside. Like, like ......"
"Like what?"
"It's like an empty city!"
The general was a little silent, he naturally knew what the other party meant, this Lu'an City looked like it should be a dead city.
However, it is not certain until it is verified with your own eyes. It's just that before he was about to enter the city, he was stopped by Wushan.
"General, the situation in the city is unknown, and I don't know if there is an epidemic, so please wait a while and let me go in to find out. If it's all right, ask the general to come in. ”
"Oh?"
Xie Yongzhao stopped his horse, turned around and stared at Wushan meaninglessly.
"Could it be that in Wu Zhu's eyes, I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Wushan is quite calm.
"Naturally not. It's just that now at the border pass, the safety of the general is no longer his own problem, but a question of whether the entire border pass is peaceful. Please also ask the general to take care of himself. ”
"Please also take care of yourself!"
The surrounding henchmen knelt down in agreement, and now at this time, although everyone didn't say it explicitly, their hearts were like mirrors. Seeing that chaos is about to arise, the general must be good, otherwise they will be in chaos at the border pass, which has finally been quiet for a while.
People who are accustomed to licking blood from the knife are always very yearning for tranquility, and they don't want to be in chaos in the country before the threat of the barbarians at the border is resolved. Isn't this an enemy on the belly and back?
So these people simply refused. Although the possibility of being an epidemic is very small, the general's daughter must not be easily involved.
was stopped by his confidants and favorite generals, the general sighed, and did not insist, he also knew the current situation, and he still had a trace of fantasy about the royal family, and he had to guard the country. He bowed solemnly to Wushan.
"Then there's Brother Law."
