The fifth chapter of the Zhuozhou Fengyun Scroll first entered the barracks
The White Horse Grassland was still more than fifty miles away from Zhuozhou City, and Su Zhuo filled his stomach, so he couldn't wait to go to Xiao Qianting's tent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Wei Xiu didn't say anything, just followed. The two walked side by side, forgetting for a moment that they were enemies some time ago.
The White Horse Grassland was actually the place where Xiao Qianting trained his troops, and he expelled all the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles, forming a vast mountain forest and grassland for the 100,000 troops of Nanjing Province to be stationed. These are all what Wei Xiu told Su Zhuo along the way, the two of them walked out of the west of the city along the avenue, and after riding their horses for an hour, they could see flags and tents not far away.
You don't have to ask to know that there is the White Horse Grassland in front of you. Su Zhuo stood beside the horse road, looking at the Liao army camp from afar, only to see the camp was forested, and the soldiers with halberds in the fence could be vaguely seen patrolling back and forth, giving people a sense of tension and depression at all times.
He couldn't help but sigh: "The Liao army has strict military discipline and brave soldiers, which can be seen from this. It's a pity that our Central Plains has been in civil strife for many years, and it is really difficult to have an army that can match the Liao State!"
Wei Xiu felt the same way, as if he thought of something, but he didn't say it. The guards on the corner tower at the gate of the White Horse Grassland had already seen these people on the official road from a distance, and were busy informing the guards at the camp gate of the situation.
After a short time, the gate of the fortress slowly opened, and two rows of soldiers hung scimitars on their waists, armed with spears, and came out in line, surrounding Su Zhuo and others. A horseback general stepped forward and spoke Khitan in a whisper.
Although Su Zhuo didn't understand, he knew that he must be checking himself. The coachman behind Wei Xiu suddenly stepped forward and shouted a few words in Khitan. Su Zhuo and the officer were stunned, obviously not expecting this person to be able to speak Khitan. Su Zhuo was even more curious about the identity of the mysterious driver.
Wei Xiu said to the coachman: "Tell him that I am the daughter of the Marquis of Yueyang and a friend of their Seventh Prince!"
Su Zhuo listened quietly on the side, not knowing who these seven princes were, and not knowing how the Wei family could still have a relationship with the people of Liao. In his impression, it seems that Wei Qian has been south of the Yangtze River and has never been to the north. After thinking about it, since Wei Sheng can worship the head of the Heavenly Wolf Sect as a teacher, it naturally shows that Wei Qian has already dealt with the Khitans.
When the Liao officer heard the coachman's answer, his face showed solemnity, and with a wave of his hand, he asked his soldiers to put away their spears and make way for them. He turned the horse's head, led the way, and led Su Zhuo and the others towards the camp.
This camp tent is only Xiao Qianting's handsome tent, together with the Chinese army guards, all the big tents add up, but only fifty or sixty. The army was scattered all over the pasture, defending the commander's tent. After all, Su Zhuo and the others were not the princes of Liao, and when they entered the walled gate, they had to dismount and walk.
The officer who led the way led the way to a large tent in the middle. On both sides of the road, there were two rows of tall soldiers, each holding a spear. The tip of the gun was in the sun, flickering with a cold light, Rao is Su Shuwei Xiu was used to seeing big scenes, and he couldn't help but be frightened at this moment.
The officers went to the big tent to make a report, and in a short time they came out and motioned for them to enter. Before entering the tent door, Wei Xiu turned around and whispered to Su Zhuo: "Xiao Qianting, this person has been in the army for many years and is a strong man. I know you're a soft and not hard person, but you must not quarrel with him, otherwise I won't be able to save you!"
Su Zhuo smiled: "Don't worry, I still want to keep my life alive for a few more days." But why did Miss Wei suddenly care so much about me?"
Wei Xiu glared at him, said no more, and turned to enter the account. A group of five mermaids rushed in, stood in the tent, and bowed slightly. Su Zhuo peeked around, and saw that the space in the tent was huge, and there were already more than a dozen people seated, all dressed as Khitans, and when they saw Su Zhuo coming in, they all looked at them. In the middle of the tent, on the main seat, sat a big man with a bearded face, with a rough appearance, not angry and arrogant.
Su Zhuo guessed that he must be Xiao Qianting, the commander here. Xiao Qianting looked at these uninvited guests coldly, did not return the salute, sat on the seat, hummed heavily, and asked, "Who are you?
He spoke Khitan, and the coachman stood behind Wei Xiu and translated it. Wei Xiu frowned, she knew that the officials of the Liao State could speak Chinese. When the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang entered Kaifeng, he realized that in order to rule the Central Plains, he must learn the culture of the Han people, so since then, every generation of emperors of the Liao State has promoted the Han language.
However, this Xiao Qianting obviously spoke Chinese, but he deliberately spoke Khitan, obviously not taking them seriously. Maybe it's because he is angry that he doesn't want to give them a good look. But he clearly knew that he was Wei Qian's daughter, so he had to give some face.
Wei Xiu bowed and said: "The handsome forgiveness, we heard that Ling Yan suffered a misfortune, and we are here to offer condolences ......."
Before she finished speaking, one of the people in the seat said loudly: "Bold, when you see Xiao Dashuai, you don't even kneel, aren't you afraid of death!"
Wei Xiu was stunned for a moment, his face flashed with green anger, but when he thought of the dangerous form here, he had to suppress the anger in his heart. Who knew that Su Zhuo suddenly smiled lightly: "Joke, I am a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to my parents, at most kneeling to the emperor of my country, how can I kneel to a general of another country because of the intimidation of others? Could it be that the adult who spoke just now is a person who kneels when he sees someone?"
Wei Xiu sighed in his heart, alas, he had long known that Su Zhuo was not a peaceful person, so he had to remind him outside the door that he was really stupid.
Xiao Qianting may have admired Su Zhuo's backbone, or maybe he was troublesome in translating back and forth, so he finally spoke Chinese that he was not fluent in, pointed at Su Zhuo and asked, "Who are you?"
Before Su Zhuo could speak, a familiar voice sounded in the corner of Xiao Qianting's hand: "Dashuai, I know who he is! His name is Su Zhuo, and he has always been known for his cunning and insidiousness in the Central Plains. Many people have been deceived by his intrigues and suffered great losses!"
When Su Zhuo heard this voice, his heart sank, Wei Xiu really didn't lie to himself, Wei Sheng had already come, but what he was doing was unknown to Su Zhuo. Although Su Zhuo was shocked in his heart, he was not to be outdone, and said: "Presumably, General Wei suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Su, and he must have been resentful so far!"
Wei Sheng sat behind a man in fancy clothes, and stood up at this time, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were burning with hatred and anger when he looked at Su Zhuo. He glared at Wei Xiu and saluted Xiao Qianting: "Dashuai, this person must have an ulterior secret in the future, Dashuai must be careful to take precautions! In my opinion, fortunately, he was cut down along with that Zhuge Zheng villain!"
Xiao Qianting's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. Su Zhuo suddenly raised his head and laughed, more than a dozen people in the tent looked at each other, he couldn't think of it, he was more auspicious at the moment, what else was ridiculous, could it be that he was crazy?
Su Zhuo was naturally not crazy, he said with a smile: "Hahaha, Su Mou originally thought that the dignified General Xiao, commanding 100,000 iron horsemen, must be a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is upright." I didn't expect that it would be better to be famous than to meet, the dignified Liao State is just a reckless man with no eyes and no beads!"
