Chapter 43: Together
In the south of Jiguo, thousands of miles of wasteland, two figures are moving forward against the scorching sun, it is Yang Fanhai and Feng Wuyang.
Although the two didn't like each other, Fang Shixin's arrangement made them unable to refuse, so they could only go on the road together. Feng Wuyang has been on the front line for a long time, and he is used to this kind of rush, so he is naturally fine, but Yang Fanhai is in trouble.
This trouble is not the scorching sun in the sky, but the horse under the crotch.
He has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he has ridden a horse. The tiger did ride it, but it was on the other party's back to kill the tiger. Now riding on the back of a military horse, he feels uncomfortable, don't say that the horse is galloping, it is good to be able to sit firmly and not fall.
"Really...... I can't even ride a horse, General Fang actually asked you to go to Dingcheng to be a soldier, I really don't know what to think!"
Feng Wuyang on the side snorted and sneered.
Fang Shixin arranged for the two to go on the road together, and also explained the matter of Lei Leopard clearly, naturally so that the two could resolve the conflict and enhance their relationship.
It's a pity that although his mind is active, he doesn't have the ability to see people's character clearly. Feng Wuyang is not a person who will easily change his opinion, especially in the matter of Lei Leopard.
Although Lei Leopard was seriously injured by Yang Fanhai (in his opinion, Lei Leopard was not dead at that time, but only seriously injured), but he was the one who finally cut off Lei Leopard's head. In any case, the credit should have been his own.
If you really want to calculate it, it is three or seven points of credit, and you are the one who is seven points, and you don't need to accept Yang Fanhai's affection.
Many soldiers just talked about it, after all, they could slowly suppress this matter, but Fang Shixin said it differently, which made him feel as if someone had pressed a stone on top of his head, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Under such thoughts, he looked at Yang Fanhai even more unpleasantly, and he had no intention of resolving the misunderstanding with him at all.
He is like this, not to mention Yang Fanhai, he is also a person who doesn't care too much about the feelings of strangers, otherwise he wouldn't have been like that in Cuiwei Mountain in the past.
Since Feng Wuyang wants to look like this, he doesn't bother to say it, anyway, as long as this guy leads himself to Dingcheng.
Hearing the other party's sneer at this time, Yang Fanhai was not angry or annoyed, but said lightly: "If you don't like it, you can go first, I have a map, and I can find it by myself." ”
"You ......" Feng Wuyang's heart was angry again, and his voice was raised an octave.
Yang Fanhai glanced at him coldly: "What, do you still want to do it with me?"
The other party's outstretched hand, he knew it in his heart, don't say one person, even if there are five, he can easily put it down.
Feng Wuyang naturally understood that he couldn't beat him, and when he left, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain, so he could only swallow his anger and follow him unhurriedly, coldly watching Yang Fanhai keep making a fool of himself.
At this time, Yang Fanhai was trying to improve his riding skills, but there was no one to guide him, and he could do it for a while by just groping by himself. Although it has made a lot of progress in the past few days, it still can only let the horse under the crotch slow down and can't gallop.
Dingcheng is far away from Weicheng and is generally not within the supply range of Weicheng. Some time ago, it was Qi Shaohu's order that Fang Shixin personally escorted the material. It was because he was too far away that he was worried that something would happen, so he brought a large number of people.
In addition, Yang Fanhai was difficult to ride a horse, and the two of them had been away from Weicheng for more than half a month, and they had only completed sixty percent of the journey.
Nearly half a month has passed, and Dingcheng has become closer and closer, and the environment here has become much better. It's not just wild grass, it's a lot of farmland.
Dingcheng is the largest city on the southern front, and it is also the one with the most garrisons. Although the battle has been fierce for many years, Changguo did not dare to come here to harass easily, so the harvest here is quite stable.
Clamping the saddle under the crotch, the appropriate spur made the speed of the war horse speed up by a few points, which made Yang Fanhai slightly happy in his heart, and made some progress.
Passing through a sparse wood, a row of dark shadows appeared on the distant horizon, and then ran far away, and if you looked closely, it was clearly a long city wall, and the city had arrived.
Although Yang Fanhai has always had a calm mind about joining the army, the moment when he determined the city wall of Dingcheng, he couldn't help but feel excited.
It was the largest city on the southern front of the Ji Kingdom, and it was also the place where he was about to start another life.
"Guys who have never seen the world!"
Feng Wuyang snorted coldly, clamped his legs, galloped his horse, and headed towards Dingcheng, this trip finally came to an end.
It was still thousands of meters away from Dingcheng, and suddenly dozens of soldiers rushed out on the side of the road, holding Changge to block the two. A man in armor who looked like a captain walked up to the front and asked in a deep voice to the two, "Who is it?"
They were scouts from outside the city, and they would not have checked the people who came in and out of the city. But seeing that the two of them seem to be riding thistle ** horses, they naturally have to come out to ask.
Feng Wuyang took out a token and said to the captain: "I am Feng Wuyang, the deputy general of Weicheng, and I have come here to meet the commander on the order of General Fang Shixin, the lord of the city. ”
After confirming that the token was correct, the captain nodded: "It turned out to be Vice General Feng of Weicheng, disrespectful!"
After returning the token to Feng Wuyang, he waved his hand to let the people around him retreat and get out of the way.
The two continued to move forward, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a shouting and scolding in front of them: "A group of recruits, you can't do such a thing, there is a fart?"
Goodbye a dozen young soldiers came from the city shirtless, carrying a piece of wood one meter thick and ten meters long. This wood has obviously been soaked in water, and it is extremely heavy, I am afraid that it is about 3,000 catties.
More than a dozen soldiers are considered strong, but it can be seen that they are just crop men, not to mention cultivation, I am afraid that they have not practiced martial arts, and it is still extremely difficult to carry such a piece of wood, and every step is taken by them, they are trembling violently, and they are all suffocating red, and they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of losing.
Next to him, a man in armor, slightly chubby, with a beard on his face, a fierce face, holding a leather whip in his hand and constantly whipping these soldiers, cursing incessantly.
The wood was already heavy, and more than a dozen soldiers used all their strength to eat milk, and let the leather whip hit their bodies, and they didn't dare to come out of their breath.
Seeing that the bearded man in armor was very arrogant and domineering, Yang Fanhai couldn't help frowning, but he knew that he couldn't make things happen casually, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
Someone stepped forward to check the identification of the two of them, and then walked towards the city.
As soon as he walked up to the bearded man, the man raised the leather whip in his hand again, whipped it down fiercely, and shouted, "Hurry up." ”
This time the force was quite heavy, and the soldier who was drawn couldn't help but scream in pain.
Normally, it's just that, but at the moment, something big happened, in this case, the power in the body is like the air in the chest, once it is tightened, it can't be easily released, otherwise it will immediately relax and deflat. His shout naturally loosened his strength, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he softened.
More than a dozen people have reached a limit carrying this wood, and Mo said that if he loses a piece of strength, he is afraid that a few straws will be enough to make them fall. At this moment, the man fell, and the others let out a terrible roar, standing still and looking pained.
Looking at everyone again, everyone is staggering and trembling, and it is obvious that it is already unsustainable.
If it goes on like this, I am afraid that everyone is in danger, Yang Fanhai can no longer turn a blind eye, and immediately jumped off the horse, turned around, and stabbed directly into the wood with a slap of marksmanship.
This blow did not control the force, and after the explosion, the entire wood was directly shattered. Pieces of broken wood flew and swept in all directions, making people dodge.
There was a whining and mourning sound, and more than a dozen people carrying the wood fell to the ground one after another.
"What are you doing?" the bearded man shouted angrily, whipping his whip in his hand.
He didn't have a good impression of this, how could Yang Fanhai let him draw, grabbed it with his backhand, and directly grabbed the leather whip in his hand.
"How daring!" the beard shouted, trying to whip the whip back, but found that he couldn't do it. His eyes widened, and he threw the long whip in his hand and was about to draw his sword.
Feng Wuyang, who was on the side, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately spoke: "Lao Cai, why are you so angry!"
He wished that Yang Fanhai would cause trouble and be held accountable again. But Fang Shixin asked him to bring someone over, once something happened, he couldn't get out of it, so he had no choice but to come forward.
Fortunately, he knew this bearded man and spoke it.
The beard turned around, stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said in surprise: "Feng Wuyang, why are you here?"
"It's a long story, I'll talk about it later!" Feng Wuyang smiled, pressed back the sword that had pulled out half of his beard, and then asked, "What did these guys do to be punished so heavily?"
The beard shook his head: "What's the crime, these are recruit cubs, this is training them, and now I am in charge of the recruits." ”
"Training?" Feng Wuyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This strength is too great." He thought that these people were committing crimes, but he didn't expect that it was just daily training.
"If the intensity is not too high, how can you practice!" the beard snorted indifferently, and then asked, "Aren't you in Weicheng, why did you come here?"
Then he thought of something and asked with a smile: "By the way, a few days ago, a reward document arrived in Dingcheng, and I heard that there was your name." What did you do? Could it be that your uncle lied about your military exploits for you? ”
It can be seen that the two are very familiar, and they dare to make this kind of joke.
"How dare you!" Feng Wuyang shook his head, and suddenly asked as if he had thought of something, "You said that you are in charge of the recruits now?"
The beard nodded, "That's right." ”
Feng Wuyang seemed to have an idea, and hurriedly pulled his beard and walked towards the city: "You come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Then he instructed Yang Fanhai: "I'll have something to do first, you wait at the door for a while." ”
Yang Fanhai didn't say much, just nodded, looked at the recruits who were lying on the ground and couldn't move, and didn't step forward again, leading the horse and standing aside to wait.
After waiting for a while, I saw the beard come back, but he was alone, and Feng Wuyang was not seen.
