011 He Baihu and wolf smoke rise
Three days later.
In the small square of Boryeongdun, Guo Fan is still slowly stretching his muscles.
Sometimes he leaned forward, sometimes he held his fingers in the air, and although his movements were slow, his strength was full.
During the break, a beautiful woman would bring tea and wipe the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
This woman's name is Su Manqian, and she says that she is the young lady of the former metropolitan family in Fengdu City.
Fengdu City is the largest city in the north, and the commanders and guards of the capital are all in this city.
A few days ago, Su Manqi visited relatives with his mother, but he met a rogue on the way, and a group of people scattered and fled.
She hid by herself for a few days, and unfortunately met the Beirong people, but fortunately she was rescued by Guo Fan.
As for the human skin mask on her face, it was said that it was given by the guards of the family to cover her appearance so as not to cause trouble.
This human skin mask was a little simple in Guo Fan's eyes, but it was already very magical in the eyes of others.
Of course.
Regarding whether what Su Manqi said was true or false, Guo Fan was noncommittal.
But this woman is outstanding, easy to covet, but there is no doubt about it.
After she revealed her true face, not only everyone in Baoningdun, but even Su Xun from the big family was short of breath.
If she goes out with this appearance, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.
Su Manqi is also very smart, and when he knew that he was unable to protect himself, he immediately chose to take refuge in the strongest one.
Guo Fan!
Such a beautiful woman leaned over and gave what she wanted, which also caused the eyes of all the men present to be red, and it was inevitable that they would be jealous.
But unfortunately, among the people present, Guo Fan was afraid that he was the only one who was not interested in her.
I don't know if this is her luck or misfortune.
"You don't have to stay here all the time, you can go and get busy. ”
After taking the tea, Guo Fan waved his hand casually.
Su Manqian's delicate face drooped, and he whispered: "It's okay, just take care of the adults here." ”
"Hmm......"
Guo Fan frowned.
When he practiced martial arts, he didn't like to be around, especially a delicate woman.
If he doesn't exert any strength well, I'm afraid he can hurt someone!
However, when he glanced around, the guards in the pier all looked at Su Manqi as if they were nothing.
The border army is hard, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see foreign women, especially those who are so beautiful.
These men have already accumulated too much beastly nature in their bodies.
The desire in that look, even if it was deliberately suppressed, made Su Manqi feel frightened.
Only by staying by Guo Fan's side can she feel safe.
"Okay!"
Guo Fan was helpless, so he could only shake his head and said: "In the past few days, I should go to Fengdu City to receive the reward, and you can go back with you when the time comes." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to have no intention of sweeping the other party: "Of course, this requires that your home is indeed in Fengdu City!"
This woman is definitely not from Beirong, but I am afraid that she has not explained her life experience clearly.
Su Manqi's face turned red and nodded yes.
"Your Excellency!"
At this time, Jiang Hu poked his head out from the hanging tower and shouted down: "Someone is coming, like our people." ”
"Oh!"
Guo Fan's eyes lit up, and he jumped towards the wall.
Standing on the wall and looking into the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance is coming straight to Boryeong pier.
He had a fierce tiger body, and his eyesight was amazing, and he could even see the figure inside through the smoke and dust.
It is indeed a Liang cavalry, seven people and thirteen horses, several people wearing armor, and the original body at the head has even seen it.
What a hundred households!
It seems to be called He Sanshu.
Guo Fan's eyes flashed, and then he waved his hand and said, "Go open the door, it's the people from the guard." ”
"Yes!"
Ma Chao beside him looked excited, answered, and hurriedly beckoned the others to go down and open the door.
In his opinion, the people who came to the guard this time were obviously to reward them.
Although it was Guo Fan who killed the Beirong people, the people in the dun would definitely be able to touch the light of this matter.
As the person who accompanied Guo Fan to come, if Guo Fan was promoted, how could he not be beneficial?
"Squeaky ......"
A short time later, with the heavy sound of the door opening, a group of cavalrymen with serious faces drove into Baoningdun.
"Appeal ......"
The cavalry took the reins of their horses and stopped in the square.
Someone glanced around and shouted, "Where is Liu An? Why don't you hurry over and see the hundred households!"
"Head, Liu Tou!"
Ma Chao looked at him desperately.
Guo Fan unhurriedly got off the wall, and threw his fist at a person on horseback: "Liu An has seen a hundred households. ”
"Liu An. ”
He Sanshu and Wu were short in stature and had a dark complexion.
He sat on the back of the horse, not in a hurry to get off the horse, squinted and looked at Guo Fan for a long time before nodding slowly.
"Well done, lived up to my recommendation that day. ”
“......”
Guo Fan glanced up at him and didn't say anything.
"Your Excellency. ”
Ma Chao had been with Guo Fan for a while, and he already knew his temperament a little, so he immediately took over the conversation.
He stepped forward to lead the horse and said with a flattering smile: "Your Excellency, please dismount, and the villain will ask someone to arrange a banquet." ”
"It's fine. ”
He Sanshu glanced at him and said casually: "You look a little familiar, what is your name?"
"Centaur Dynasty. ”
Ma Chao lowered his head and replied, "After the criminal officer." ”
"I remember!"
He Sanshu nodded: "I came from the capital, I remember the fine skin and tender meat at the beginning, and now I look like a border army." ”
"Thanks to the good arrangement of the adults, Liu Tou has been well trained, and Ma Chao has the physique he has today. ”
Ma Chao smiled and bowed as he led the group towards the hall.
"Your Excellency, please be seated!"
He Baihu Dama Jindao sat in the main seat of the hall, sniffed his nose, and his face couldn't help but glow with a strange color.
"It's so rich in the smell of wine and meat, it seems that your food in Baoningdun is very good!"
The rider who followed in also had a slight change in complexion.
They are all He Sanshu's personal soldiers, and their military salaries are sufficient, not to mention that there are other rewards, but they are not big fish and meat every day.
And the smell of wine and meat here is so strong that it almost penetrates the wall!
"This ......"
Ma Chao's face changed, and he glanced at Guo Fan, who was silent, before he cautiously replied: "Lord Hui, this is some of the things we scavenged from the Beirong people, because meat can't be stored for a long time, so we will ...... in a few days A little presumptuous. ”
"Really?"
He Baihu was noncommittal.
Such a strong smell of wine and meat is not something that can be achieved in a day or two.
He touched his chin and said, "Before I came, I asked people to check the accounts and found that the grain and grass from Baoningdun had not been delivered for the last two times. ”
"Definitely. ”
Guo Fan said in a deep voice: "I don't know why adults, but someone deliberately embarrassed me?"
He said it directly, and his eyes were even colder.
This made Ma Chao's face change greatly, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"You ......"
He Baihu's face also sank, staring at Guo Fan for a while, and he actually suppressed his anger.
"Liu Jiachang thought about it a lot, no one deliberately targeted you, it was just a momentary negligence on the part of the food delivery soldiers. ”
"Don't worry, I have already explained to the warehouse, and I will send grain to Baoningdun in two days, and I will make up for the grain and grass in the previous two times. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Ma Chao hurriedly knelt on his knees and screamed incessantly.
"Get up!"
He Baihu stared at Guo Fan and said, "It is forbidden to give big gifts in the army, besides, He Mou is just a hundred households." ”
His voice was steady and terrifying, which also made Ma Chao's body tense, and he knelt on the ground and became more and more afraid to get up.
"Get up. ”
Guo Fan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Lord Baihu has already said it, there is no need to kneel." ”
"This ......"
Ma Chao secretly complained in his heart, but after a little struggle, he still stood up honestly.
It's obvious.
In his mind, he is still more inclined to obey Guo Fan.
"Hoo ......"
He Baihu took a breath, his eyes turned around Guo Fan and Ma Chao a few times, and then he said, "I heard, how many Beirong soldiers did you kill?"
"Exactly!"
Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "They are all cavalry, and one of them is still Beirong's Ezhen." ”
"All of this is the credit of the first chief!"
"Where is the body?"
He Baihu's face remained unchanged, but a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Cavalry?
Really?
Just this little Boryeong pier?
Although He Yidou said that Liu An's force was good, he never believed in it.
Can a man still run over a horse?
He rushed over this time, also with the idea of what if.
"It's right in the back. ”
Ma Chao stretched out his hand and pulled back.
He Baihu glanced at a pro-soldier: "Jin Sui, you go and take a look." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers clenched their fists and followed the horses towards the backyard.
Inside the hall, there was silence.
Fortunately, the two of them rushed back not long after they went, and the face of the pro-soldier was full of ecstasy.
"My lord, it's true!"
"Huh?"
He Baihu's face changed, and he stood up directly from his seat: "Really?"
"It's true!"
The soldiers looked excited: "Seven Beirong cavalry, there are armor, waist cards, and one Ezhen!"
"Good, good!"
He Baihu nodded excitedly and paced back and forth in the hall.
After a while, he looked at Guo Fan with fanaticism in his eyes: "Liu An, you are doing a good job, say, what do you want?"
"What do you want?"
Guo Fan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Lord Baihu, is this wrong, it should be how the guard will reward it?"
"Reward?"
He Baihu's eyes flashed, and he said, "You can say that, but I want to ask, what do you want?"
"Hmm......"
Guo Fan pursed his lips, stared at He Baihu with his eyes, and said slowly: "Lord Baihu, you won't report this matter yet, right?"
"Bold!"
The pro-soldiers in the field shouted in unison, and one of them even directly pulled out the blade on his waist.
"You really have a lot of guts. ”
He Baihu looked at Guo Fan, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I won't hide it from you, I really haven't reported this matter yet." ”
"So, I want to make a deal with you!"
He has been a hundred households for seven years, and he is considered diligent in these seven years, but he still has not accumulated enough military merit promotion.
Qianhu, that's a radish and a pit, it's not so easy to rise.
If he can get Guo Fan's military exploits this time, he is completely sure that he will be promoted to another level!
Therefore, it was confirmed that Beirong's corpse was real, and He Sanshu would be so out of shape.
"Deal?"
Guo Fan touched his chin.
He didn't have a good impression of this He Baihu, but if he could really make a deal, it would be fine.
He has little interest in promotion, at least not for the time being.
There is an urgent need for silver taels, and the corpses and horses of these Beirong people can't be exchanged for much silver when they are handed over.
If He Baihu can produce enough silver, it is not impossible.
"Knock...... Knock ......"
Just as Guo Fan was pondering, a rapid gong suddenly sounded outside.
When everyone looked back, they heard Jiang Hu on the hanging tower yelling: "There is wolf smoke burning in the direction of Yanwutai." ”
"There are two beams of smoke, and the Beirong people are estimated to be hundreds, looking at the direction, they are coming towards our position. ”
"Whoa......
He Baihu, including his own soldiers, all changed color.
