Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 182
What Qin Zheng and Xie Jinhua said about Vice General Wang and about the spies were all in a low voice, except for the two people who were very close to each other, no one else heard them.

Seeing that everyone finished cleaning the battlefield and lined up again, Xie Jinhua also quietly hid in the crowd.

Qin Zheng stopped her.

"Your arrow skills are quite courageous, and you will be my personal soldier next."

Qin Zheng said to Xie Jinhua.

Although he and the two guards who were ordered to protect Xie Jinhua knew each other's identity, the others did not.

Women are never allowed in the army, and Qin Zheng can only let Xie Jinhua follow in the name of his own soldiers.

At least stay on the sidelines and take care of each other.

Xie Jinhua looked back at Qin Zheng: "I obey."

She said with a smile, her voice was extremely low, even a little hoarse, without any femininity.

Speaking of it, she noticed all the small details in her disguise. If Qin Zheng didn't know her so well, it would be impossible to recognize her at a glance.

Xie Jinhua rode a horse and followed Qin Zheng closely. Others saw it and didn't say much.

The vigilance and courage that Xie Jinhua showed with Qin Zheng just now is really good. Although she looks a little short in stature, she is for someone in the army.

As long as you have the ability, you are a person worthy of respect.

Then you can accept that this person will ascend to the sky in one step.

-

"I thought you wouldn't want to be with me."

Qin Zheng's horse speeded up a bit, and Xie Jinhua followed closely beside him.

His voice floated into Xie Jinhua's ears like a gust of wind.

Xie Jin drew a smile on the corner of his lips, and looked straight ahead: "It's like the reason why I dared to appear in front of you just now, it's all here, and you won't send me away again."

Not to mention whether there will be any more dangers in the desert, but the scene where the aliens came to ambush is enough for Qin Zheng to worry about Xie Jinhua's safety.

Xie Jinhua had already thought clearly that even if the alien ambush did not come today, she would go to Qin Zheng's side.

Xie Jinhua followed Qin Zheng to the northwest, not just to watch him from a distance, but not to get close.

Qin Zheng choked on Xie Jinhua's answer.

He looked at Xie Jinhua, and all he saw was a strange man's face.

-

The battle on the edge of the desert not only established his prestige, but also wiped out most of the unruly people among the generals in one fell swoop.

Qin Zheng eliminated all future troubles, and after leaving the desert, the speed of the march quickly accelerated.

Xie Jinhua walked with the army in the desert for more than ten days during this period, and his body has been thoroughly exercised.

Qin Zheng worried that Xie Jinhua would not be able to keep up several times along the way, but Xie Jinhua rolled his eyes back a few times and curled his lips secretly.

Her riding and shooting skills have never been weaker than that of any man. In the past, her body would not be able to support the march, and it was also because her body was pampered and raised as a young lady.

But now, she has already practiced it.

Qin Zheng didn't feel uncomfortable when Xie Jinhua rolled his eyes, but smiled relaxedly.

"It's not what it used to be, how about we have a good competition when we have free time in the future?"

At this moment, Xie Jinhua's eyes were full of openness.

She really wanted to have a hearty and unscrupulous competition with Qin Zheng.

He taught her riding and archery in the previous life, and she also taught him some riding and archery tricks in this life.

Now that Qin Zheng has grown up completely, Xie Jinhua has also exercised his endurance and overcome his biggest shortcoming, thinking that one day he will be able to compete seriously with Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was a little surprised by Xie Jinhua's sudden proposal.

After meeting the anticipation in Xie Jinhua's eyes, he snorted and said, "How can there be no bets in the game, sister, have you figured out what you want to bet with me?"

Qin Zheng like this seems to have lost the calmness and coldness forced by so much reality, but has more youthful spirit.

Xie Jinhua was greedy to see the relaxed color Qin Zheng exuded at this moment.

"The loser obeys the winner unconditionally."

Xie Jinhua made up his mind, and said the bet he had already thought about.

"It's a word."

Qin Zheng dropped these words, lifted the rein in his hand, but stopped the mount under him.

There was a uniform sound of horseshoes ahead.

In the distance, I saw a flag.

The flag of the Northwest Army Yuan Zishuai.

-

It should have been inconspicuous that Qin Zheng's 800 people were placed in the Northwest Army. After all, the Northwest Army has 20 troops, and all of them are brave and good at fighting.

The most elite Northwest Army in the Western Yuan Dynasty is not joking.

In the capital city of the Western Yuan Dynasty, the 800 people who were known as the elite were nothing more than average in the eyes of the Northwest Army who had experienced the Northwest battlefield.

However, Qin Zheng's 800 people brought not only supplies and food, but also a victory with a huge difference in the number of people.

Only seven or eight hundred people were killed by the enemy, but that was when the enemy had twice as many people as Qin Zheng led.

The difference in the number of people between the two sides is doubled, and the casualty rate is less than half of that of the enemy.

The moment they heard about such achievements, many people had a new look at Qin Zheng and the so-called elite army he led.

Many people originally thought that Qin Zheng, the man sent by Emperor Xiyuan to temporarily replace the Generalissimo to command the army, was just here for a formality. No one really wanted him to command the entire army of the Northwest Army, and no one expected him. Be able to command and move this army.

But now Qin Zheng has proved with facts that he has some real skills.

He came here not as a puppet.

This made the hearts of the Northwest Army fluctuate, and many people couldn't help turning their minds.

Some people think too much, thinking that Qin Zheng's arrival will break the original plan and break the fragile balance in the Northwest Army.

Some people felt that Qin Zheng's appearance was just right. Although the Northwest Army is not in a state of disunity, it is still somewhat fragmented. What is needed is a person with status and ability to temporarily stabilize the overall situation.

There are all kinds of ideas.

It's just that no matter what kind of thought you have, you must keep Qin Zheng steady.

Qin Zheng used a battle and the safety of the luggage to make his foothold more stable than these people imagined.

It also makes myself no longer at a complete disadvantage.

The top leaders of the Northwest Army have different ideas and cannot be unified for the time being, but the ordinary soldiers in the Northwest Army all know the existence of Qin Zheng and know Qin Zheng's reliability.

After all, the food and wages that Qin Zheng received were all saved by Qin Zheng leading people to fight with alien races.

The Northwest Army has been fighting against foreign races all year round. It built a city in the Northwest. There is a marshal's mansion in the city, and there are barracks outside the city.

Yuan Zhen was seriously injured and was unable to meet Qin Zheng in person. Qin Zheng and the soldiers he brought were all placed outside the city.

According to the person who entertained them, they didn't expect Qin Zheng and the others to come so quickly, so they haven't prepared their residence in the city yet.

Especially Qin Zheng, as the king of the county, couldn't be wronged.

Qin Zheng did not refute the other party's words, although it was more like a joke in the Northwest Army to say how noble the county king is.

The most important thing in the Northwest Army has never been honor.

Qin Zheng came to the northwest not to enjoy the blessings, but to stand out. Although it is dangerous to be placed in the barracks outside the city, it has a better chance to stand out.

Instead, placing him in the city was what really made Qin Zheng difficult.

The subordinates brought by Qin Zheng were indignant, and many of them even passed their words to Qin Zheng.

The Northwest Army is too rebellious.

Qin Zheng's answer was only one sentence, in order to make others agree, he used more military exploits to remove the eyes that grew on the top of those people's heads.

-

"Do you think the marshal's mansion in the city is discussing my resettlement overnight?"

Qin Zheng stood outside the tent, looking at the city not far away.

The city was completely dark, and in the darkness, it looked more and more like a silent but ferocious giant beast.

This city is called Iron City, because the army of foreign races has never crossed this city, and since this city was established, no one has successfully broken through it.

"No matter what they discuss, you are now like a nail stuck here, and no one can marginalize you."

Xie Jinhua walked to Qin Zheng's side, and answered his casual questions seriously.

Following Qin Zheng's gaze, she looked at the city not far away, where the city gate was closed: "I heard that this iron city is made of an extremely strong material, which cannot be broken by human power, and the city is ten feet high. , Above the battlements, there is a long-armed bow every ten steps, and a bed crossbow every twenty steps, such a place cannot be attacked by external forces."

The bed crossbow is a weapon for defending the city. It would be nice to have ten or eight crossbows in the nearby city. The Xuzhou city that Xie Jin painted had only five bed crossbows and ten long-arm bows at that time. The defense in the city is relatively strong.

If compared with Tiecheng at this moment, it is completely incomparable.

"So if you want to capture the northwest and this iron city, you can only come from the inside."

Qin Zheng continued, the smile on his lips was mixed with a trace of coldness: "I just don't know how to proceed internally."

"I think the first step should be to get rid of Marshal Yuan Zhen. You are here to temporarily replace Marshal Yuan Zhen. If something happens to Marshal Yuan Zhen at this time, the morale of the army will be disturbed."

The most important thing is that the Northwest Army and the Western Yuan Dynasty will inevitably form a knot.

"I'll meet with Marshal Yuan Zhen later to see how he's doing."

Qin Zheng made a decision.

"I'll pretend to be you later, don't worry."

Xie Jinhua was not surprised when he heard Qin Zheng's decision, but directly helped him think of the next step of concealment.

The smile on Qin Zheng's lips became more sincere: "Thank you, sister."

"Now you know that I am here to help you, right? I can help you more than that."

Xie Jinhua smiled a little smugly, and the dimples on his cheeks were faintly visible.

Qin Zheng suddenly felt that he was hopeless.

Even if Xie Jinhua now has a manly face on his face, he still thinks that the other party looks good-looking.

I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Qin Zheng covered his eyes with his hand: "I will gain a firm foothold as soon as possible."

Not for anything else, just to let Xie Jinhua change into women's clothes in a fair and aboveboard manner, it's worth it.

He didn't want to have any special hobbies in the future.
