Zhurou

Chapter 30 Reminder
A group of people packed up, and the brigade walked back.

Although the night is getting darker now, but there are torches to open the way, and there are front and rear guards, after all, it is much easier to walk, but most of the time, I have returned to the original official road.

As soon as he got out of the corner of the forked road, Zhao Mingzhi felt that something was wrong despite his familiarity.

Sure enough, after a while, the forward speed gradually slowed down, and a camp was set up in an open and flat place one mile away, and there were sentry guards along the way.

Going out and encountering so many things, Zhao Mingzhi was exhausted at the moment, and really didn't have time to take care of all those things, so he got into the small tent that he shared with Yushuang and others, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

This one has no bed or quilt, a piece of hard wood, no matter how uncomfortable it is to lie on, she can't sleep well, she wakes up several times a night, and the next morning, before dawn, she hears faint movements outside, and immediately gets up , rolled up the curtain and looked, Wei Chengyan was standing not far away, rubbing his face and yawning.

Seeing people coming out, he was also a little surprised, but he immediately said: "Wake up so early? If so, Second Brother will tell you to pack up, and I'm about to leave."

At this time, the sky outside was only dim, and Yushuang in the tent took the pills given by the doctor, but was still asleep. The camp was full of people, and it was difficult to find the guards. Zhao Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, turned around and took the luggage, After rubbing a pair of frozen hands, he got out and followed Wei Chengyan to the front stove for a simple wash.

But along the way, the orders in the camp are strict and the banners are strict. Even the cooking camp has its own laws, which is far from what it was the day before yesterday.

Zhao Mingzhi was hungry, so he didn't pick at all. He picked up the pancakes in front of him and dipped them in the light soup, eating them with gusto.

On the other hand, Wei Chengyan swallowed a few dry biscuits in two mouthfuls, took a mouthful of water, wiped his mouth, and sighed: "It's fine if there is no wine, and there is no meat. Life in this camp is really difficult."

Zhao Mingzhi heard it amused, put down the pancake in his hand, and said: "When I come to Dejingzhao Mansion in the future, I will cook a table of good wine and food, and let Brother Cheng Yan have a good time!"

Wei Chengyan laughed loudly, obviously very happy to hear it, and said: "Although you, Third Brother Wei, are not extravagant and wealthy, you are not so stingy!"

He glanced at Zhao Mingzhi, seeing her small face with little flesh, and sallow complexion, while he liked her, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the weak and talented, and asked: "You are young, and there is no elder in your family to help you take care of it? Do you want your family to travel thousands of miles to visit relatives? Are relatives reliable?"

Others were so generous and straightforward, but Zhao Mingzhi was unwilling to hide it. After thinking about it, he still left a way out for himself, and said: "Actually, I haven't had much contact with that uncle in the past two years, especially after Di Ren came to commit the crime. Lettering is even more inconvenient, but it's really impossible, and now the north is full of Di people, and the south... don't mention it."

She sighed: "After counting and counting, only Jingzhao and Fengxiang are in a safe place-it's okay to do ordinary business, but my family needs to find a reliable person for this kind of business. After much deliberation, I can only vote for him." It's..."

Wei Chengyan curled his lips and said, "What's so peaceful? Where is it so peaceful? To the east is Xijing, which is connected to Dengzhou. In terms of location, it's actually the closest to the Di people. Compared with them, according to their literati, that's a big deal." The brunt!"

He snorted again and said, "How far is it to Xiazhou? It's only a few days away from Xingqing, the capital of the Di people, and Kuaima is only a few days away. Only there are people holding the sky up there, so you think it's partial security, but it's just relying on the heights." It's just a shelter from the wind and rain..."

Zhao Mingzhi listened to his tone, and asked along the lines: "Which one is the 'tall man' that the third brother mentioned? I heard that there is a Pei Jiedu in Jingzhao Mansion..."

Wei Chengyan used to be unscrupulous in his words and deeds, but when he heard the word "Pei Jiedu", he paused, changed the subject and said: "Don't mention him about other people's affairs - you really take my temper, I also agree Just a few more words."

He raised his chopsticks to dip some water, drew two circles on the rough wooden chopping board in front of him, and said: "The business in Jingzhao Mansion is not so easy, Gaoling is a big county, hey, look, this is the words of Jingzhao Mansion , this is Gaoling County."

Then he took his chopsticks and tapped in the circle on the left: "The distance between the two places is only more than twenty miles, what's wrong with your relative, while my second brother and I are still here, you might as well come and look for it, maybe you can tell me Give me a hand."

Tell a lie, you need a thousand lies to cover it up.

Zhao Mingzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and thank him, but he was thinking that Gaoling is a big county. Although the head of the county is not high, he is in charge. It is said that a strong dragon can't beat a local snake. Besides, according to Wei Chengyan, he is a Junzhou Those who run the escort agency, no matter how good their hands are, they can't manage that far, right?

She was even more puzzled, because she didn't know each other very well, it was still difficult to ask, so she had to solemnly thank her and press it for the time being.

The two finished their breakfast, packed up, and led the horses out of the camp.

When he got outside, he saw Li Xun was standing with several people not far away, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Zhao Mingzhi and Wei Chengyan come out, Li Xuntong said a few more words to the opposite side, nodded slightly, and galloped out, leading the way.

Zhao Mingzhi was at the end, and looked back, only to see that none of the officers were leaving, and they were looking at this place, but they didn't know what they were looking at.

She has excellent eyesight and is also good at remembering faces. Looking at the outfits of those people, they are not ordinary soldiers, but looking around, she can't see the leader who handed over to the leader of the imperial army yesterday. .

When he was in front of De, he went forward to salute amidst the inexplicable expressions of the crowd, described the appearance of the leader of the escort team yesterday, and asked: "But I don't know how the official is doing now? I am really worried."

Hearing her ask, the faces of the three people on the opposite side were not good-looking.

One of them said: "Old Qin you are talking about? He was hit by two arrows and a knife again. His life is saved, but he will probably be destroyed in the future."

This incident was not unexpected, Zhao Mingzhi sighed in grief, and asked about the situation of the battle yesterday, and it turned out that his side had suffered heavy casualties.

And the line in front of them is actually a replacement of reinforcements from Junzhou, not the same team as yesterday.

I can't complain that the military appearance is completely different.

Although Zhao Mingzhi was still puzzled, but after checking his past history, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the other party, so he didn't pursue further, turned his head, and caught up with the two people who were waiting on the side of the road.

Wei Chengyan wanted to ask questions, but Li Xun stopped him and said, "Let's go."

The three of them ran less than half a mile away, when Li Xun in front slowed down, turned around and nodded.

Zhao Mingzhi immediately rode forward.

He held the reins, and started to walk side by side with Wei Chengyan, but left an open space in the middle, and said to Zhao Mingzhi: "You walk in the middle, just look forward for a while, don't look around."

Although Zhao Mingzhi felt puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, and always practiced to the front, surrounded by two people.

It's just that sometimes people's hearts are rebellious, the more they confess what not to do, the more they can't help but want to do something.

It is only three or four miles past the camp, and there is a narrow road ahead.

Zhao Mingzhi quickly remembered that this was where the Xiang army and Di Bing met the night before.

At that time, the Xiang army fled before fighting, so it could be said that they had no power to resist. Now they revisited the old place, and the roadside was empty, but it was lying all over the place, densely packed with corpses, it was hard to count from a distance.

After a night, the corpse had long been stiff, and on the ground there were severed limbs and arms, armor pierced by discarded arrows, and even coagulated black blood and black and yellow brains.

Although Zhao Mingzhi got Li Xun's instructions, he put them all in the back of his mind long ago, and immediately hated himself for being so good-sighted that he could see everything clearly.

Although she has always known the cruelty of the war, this is the first time she has personally been placed in the mountain of corpses on the real battlefield. The bloody smell and the indescribable stench almost flowed into her nasal cavity with the wind. Feeling sore and bitter, he clutched his mouth and nose and turned around to vomit, but there was nowhere to land under his feet.
