Chapter 58: A two-pronged approach

It's night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and everything is silent.

Zhu Fuzheng led a patrol in the village.

Now Yushanzhai, all the style of action is completely in accordance with the style of the military village, fighting, guarding, patrolling...... Everything but the kitchen sink.

In the past, this kind of trivial matter definitely did not need Zhu Fu to lead the team personally, but now there are a large number of brothers in the cottage, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so Zhu Fu has to go into battle in person.

Originally, Huang Shilang and others volunteered to replace Zhu Fu, but they were arranged by Li Ghost on other errands, so they had to give up.

Now the weather is extremely cold, and after nightfall, it is even more cold to the bone marrow, not to mention that the air is ice, and the white fog is deep.

Zhu Fu tightened the cotton armor on his body, turned his head and asked the team of brothers behind him: "Are you cold?" ”

"It's a little."

A group of people laughed and said:

"But it's time to change shifts soon, and when the time comes, go back to the room and drink a bowl of hot ginger soup, and your body will be warmed up."

"Those guys in the second half of the night are really cold, I don't know how much harder it is than us!"

"Who made them unlucky, they won the lottery in the second half of the night, hehe......"

Seeing that everyone had no grievances, Zhu Fu also smiled and nodded, "Cheng, then everyone will insist on it, and we will continue to patrol." ”

After walking for a little more than half a circle, I saw another team approaching, and the two sides stood still at a distance, exchanged orders with each other, and after confirming that no accidents had occurred, they walked forward and passed by.

After going around the village a few times, I heard the sound of the husband beating the third watch in the distance, and it was finally time to change shifts.

Zhu Fu yawned, took the team back to the team building, woke up a group of people who were sleeping soundly, and handed over shifts to each other, and then Zhu Fu was about to take them out to continue patrolling, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and someone walked in.

"Brother Zhu, how is the situation? Can there be officers and soldiers attacking the camp? ”

Zhu Fu fixed his eyes, but it was Huang Shilang, the original third master, and three or four brothers behind him, all of whom were righteous and good men who returned to the mountain a few days ago.

He hurriedly greeted him with a smile and replied, "Everything is normal, nothing happened." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huang Shilang and the others, and asked strangely, "Why hasn't Shiro rested?" ”

Huang Shilang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hey, isn't this my brother who explained it and asked me to wait for the preparation of rolling wood, lime, gold juice and other things to defend the city!" After working hard in the middle of the night, I prepared a concubine, which should be enough for a few days. ”

Zhu Fu suddenly realized, "It's hard work Shiro and a few brothers, why don't you hurry back and rest?" There may be a big war tomorrow. ”

"It's not that I'm worried about the official army attacking the camp, so I'll come and have a look."

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "I have led the soldiers to inspect for a long time, and I have never seen the shadow of the officers and soldiers, so I don't think I will come tonight." ”

"If you want me to say the same." Huang Shilang and the others also laughed, "This official army has just arrived, why do you have to rest for the night, how can you come to attack the camp in the middle of the night as soon as you arrive?" That is, Brother Li Ghost, who is too detailed, and the little brother is worried. ”

After a few words of gossip, Zhu Fu arched his hand, "Shiro hurry up and go back to rest, I still have to lead the team out on patrol." ”

As soon as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Huang Shilang, looked left and right, frowned and asked:

"The patrols are divided into the upper and lower nights, why does my brother have to patrol all night and no one replaces?"

"Where is Brother Li Yun?"

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "Brother Li Yun's martial arts are strong, and he is the main force in tomorrow's fight, so you can't waste your energy on patrolling, of course, you have to sleep and rest." ”

Huang Shilang frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily:

"My brother patrols all night and doesn't even sleep, how can he fight tomorrow?"

"Let's let the little brother go on behalf of the elder brother!"

Zhu Fu hurriedly shook his head and refused, "What is Shiro talking about?" If you go on patrol on my behalf, won't you not sleep all night? ”

Huang Shilang is colorful:

"I'm different from my brother."

"My force is low, even if I go into battle to fight, it won't play a role, it's better to simply share a little for my brother and do what I can."

The two pushed and shoved for a long time, but Zhu Fu couldn't resist him, so he had to nod and agree, called the soldiers in the second half of the night, and ordered:

"This patrol in the second half of the night will be led by the Huang family's elder brother."

"Do you still remember what the master of the village told me before?"

"This is wartime, so don't be careless."

"If the cottage is broken, we will wait for all the dead ends."

The soldiers glanced at each other and bowed to their orders, "Brother, don't worry, the words of the master of the village, we will always keep it in mind, and we dare not make any mistakes." ”

Zhu Fu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and went back to the house to sleep.

said that Huang Shilang led everyone out of the team house, and after walking around the cottage for half a circle, he suddenly covered his stomach, frowned tightly, and scolded in a low voice:

"Mother's!"

"The food eaten at night is definitely not fresh, and this belly is like turning over the river and the sea, which is really sad!"

The brothers who followed him immediately laughed, "The elder brother of the Huang family usually gambles money, so he often uses this and urine to escape, and he has never lost money today, how can he use this trick?" ”

Huang Shilang was half-bent over, holding his stomach with one hand, pressing behind him with the other, and only shouted in his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm about to come out, it's not a lie!" ”

As he screamed, he jumped into the dead grass next to him, and after a while, the smell of drifted in the wind.

The friends immediately changed their faces, covered their noses and ran forward, and when they reached the distance, they put down their hands and shouted from afar:

"Brother, the grains are reincarnated here, I'll go on patrol first, and my brother will follow after he is done."

"Get out!" Huang Shilang scolded from afar, only to be exchanged for a loud laugh from a group of people.

These people were originally the generals and deputy generals in the cottage, but they later became officials after recruiting An, left the cottage, and now they are back and lead everyone again, and no one has any objections, so they immediately followed these people and continued to patrol.

After the convenience, Huang Shilang did not follow the patrol team as scheduled, but sighed, turned around and ran in the direction of the granary.

At the same time, the guards at the main entrance of the cottage also ushered in unexpected visitors.

"Brothers, the night is heavy, Brother Li feels sorry for everyone, so he asked me to bring some wine and food over to warm everyone's body."

Li Laoqi was smiling, followed by more than a dozen brothers, shoulder-to-shoulder, all of them were some food boxes, as soon as Fang opened them, they were full of aroma, and there were hot meals inside, there was wine and meat, in this cold night, it was extraordinarily tempting.

The guard guarding the main gate, led by a general, couldn't help but squirm in his throat after seeing the wine and meat, but he still moved his gaze upward, fell on Li Laoqi's face, and asked hesitantly:

"This is the reward given to us by the elder brother of the master of the village?"

Li Laoqi said with a smile: "Everyone says that Brother Li Ghost is strict, but I know that our Dazhai master is hard-faced and soft-hearted, and he loves his brother the most." ”

"Now that the weather is getting colder, wouldn't it be more appropriate for Brother Li to ask me to bring some wine and meat over to treat your brothers?"

Seeing that the general was hesitant and seemed to be in disbelief, he continued to persuade: "If your brothers accidentally catch the wind cold, it will be bad for our war!" ”

The general was finally moved, nodded slowly, and said, "Brother Li, wait a while, and let me call all my brothers to enjoy the wine and food together." ”
