Minister

6【Six Years of Jiankang】

After setting up camp, Wei Chi blew the pigeon whistle as agreed. This is the second pigeon. It has been more than 20 days since it left the customs. After counting, it is already the end of March.The permafrost on the grassland has completely melted, and the hard ground has turned into mud. Every step the leopard takes is slippery. After walking for a day, the mud on its hooves can make a big jar.Both Wei Chi and Hua Bao stubbornly kept clean. Although Hua Bao didn't need to hide her gender, but because of her bad temper, the responsibility of cleaning naturally fell on her poor master.Discussion, marching, checking food and grass, inquiring about military discipline, approving all military cases related to logistics, and dealing with Du Yun, and finally brushing the horse!Wei Chi dejectedly wiped off the last drop of water from the leopard's face, put down his sleeves and prepared to return the bill, but when he turned around, he found Populus euphratica silently looking at him at the entrance of the courtyard.

If the night on the grassland is not full of wind and rain, it will be bright and full of moon.Although Xia Xuanyue is slender today, it is exceptionally bright.The night wind blows Populus euphratica Lin's hair, and the bright moonlight outlines his facial features.Populus euphratica has the appearance of a typical northern boy, with hard lines and a strong figure. Although he is not as tall as Zhang Huaiyuan, he is a little harder than him, a kind of honest and mellow hardness.His eyes were somewhat sunken, slender and bright.There was always a hint of melancholy in the eyes that should have been full of determination.Wei Chi felt that this faint melancholy was more suitable for the scholars in the academy.But compared to those scholars, Populus euphratica is more real, as if it can be touched at any time.

Although there was no rain, the night wind was still very cold, Wei Chi waved at him: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Actually, Hu Yanglin didn't have to wait for Wei Chi like this every day, he was an upright Qianhu and not Wei Chi's small school, but as long as Wei Chi wanted to find him, he would always find that he was actually by his side.For order?Wei Chi shook his head and smiled, feeling that this person was too simple and honest.

Hu Yanglin was still the same, silent, just following behind Wei Chi.

The moonlight quietly shone on Wei Chi's military uniform, and the patterns on it looked distant and inexplicable.Be it Geng Bingwen or Chen Ang, these people who have never really been to the frontier and fought on the battlefield instinctively played down the seriousness of the war.Du Yun is different, he is a general who has experienced many battles, compared with him, he is really too naive.Every move I fought against him made me feel powerless, no matter it was physical strength or moves!Although it is improving every day, the speed of progress is far behind the speed of war.Those scorched and burned lands were just a prelude, and they were nothing to the experienced warriors, but they shocked Wei Chi deeply.

No longer just talking on paper! !

Du Yun told him that on the battlefield, there is only one chance, and success or failure is a moment of life and death.

There is no way to compare the hardships of studying hard in the cold window for ten years, and there is nothing more despicable than life on the battlefield!

Wei Chi clenched his palms tightly.

This time, King Yan’s letter only contained three words——Lu Shengduo

Lu Shengduo, Wei Chi repeated the name silently. He is an ordinary general in Wang Yunyi's army.

...He is actually a member of the King of Qin?

Want to find this person?What would this person say to himself?What must I do?Will it be related to Wang Yunyi?Will it be related to the next killing?Wei Chi was worried by a lot of questions...

"Shaohu! Look!" Hu Yanglin suddenly grabbed Wei Chi's shoulder and pulled him out of his thoughts.

I saw sporadic small yellow flowers blooming on the bare grassland, squeezing in the crevices of the stones, poking their heads hard.Under the moonlight, these delicate flowers trembled slightly, adding a little vitality to the cold and muddy earth.

"Ice flower" Wei Chi said to Populus euphratica, "primrose on the grassland."

"Bingling flower? But it's not white, and it doesn't look like Bingling." Populus euphratica was very puzzled. This small yellow flower looks like cauliflower, and it doesn't feel like Bingling.

"Look" Wei Chi squatted down and picked off a flower, "there is still ice between the petals, this ice flower... is a flower that blooms in the ice."

Populus euphratica took a closer look, not only the one in Wei Chi's hand, but also those growing in the crevices of the rocks, and some even grew out of ice.Populus euphratica suddenly respected these small wildflowers. On such a cold permafrost, they bloomed so tenaciously that they would bloom even if they were crushed by frost.What the hell is this for?Just like Wei Chi, he was unwilling to give up even if his hands and feet were cramped in order to go to the battlefield. What was he doing for it?Not every officer needs to learn how to use swords and marksmanship. For example, several staff officers under General Wang and several civilian officials under Deputy Geng, they know nothing but horseback riding.Wei Chi's background and status already allowed him to enjoy the most complete protection in the army, but he still wanted to study so desperately. Why?

Populus euphratica was puzzled.

General Du's eagerness for success also made him unhappy. He felt that General Du did not regard Wei Chi as a civil servant at all, and he did not understand Wei Chi's busy military affairs.Hu Yanglin looked at Wei Chi's fingers, the blood blisters from grinding a few days ago had slowly turned into calluses, and the slightly rigid palm replaced the soft lines before.The little yellow flower trembled slightly in his hand, making Populus euphratica involuntarily want to take it and smell it.

"Don't!" Wei Chi threw away the wild flower in his hand: "This flower is poisonous, and you will feel dizzy if you smell it."

"Shaohu knows so much..." Hu Yanglin secretly couldn't believe it: "But how poisonous can such a small flower be? I just smell it."

"Hahaha..." Wei Chi laughed: "Do you need to drink a few catties of poison to be poisoned to death? You are such a person! This kind of flower will not poison you to death, but it will make you dizzy until tomorrow. Just a horse, why? Want to ride an ox cart?”

Populus euphratica scratched his head embarrassingly and followed Wei Chi back to the camp. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but stop, wanting to look back at these awesome little wild flowers.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Wei Chi urged him, he really didn't understand what this guy was interested in a bunch of wild flowers: "Could it be that you want to pinch one and stick it in your hair?"

Hu Yanglin blushed all of a sudden, and quickened his pace to catch up with Wei Chi.

Wei Chi secretly laughed.

After setting up camp the next day, Wei Chi took a chance to go to the grain truck.The grain carts are in the rear army, and the deployment of the rear army is different from that of the middle army, and the officers have very few large accounts.Wei Chi didn't dare to ask anyone, and walked around with the grain book in his hand.After turning around a few times, I finally saw the small flag embroidered with the characters of landing.

Wei Chi calmly stopped a soldier: "Where is the big burden?"

The big load is a kind of grain transport vehicle. Because the vehicle is large and slow, it is often placed in the center of the rear army and mixed with the siege equipment.The one stopped by Wei Chi was a heavy infantry soldier, how could he know about food and grass?This unlucky ghost was frightened to death when he saw Wei Chi's military uniform, oh my god!Participate!Looking around secretly, I'm sorry, there is no one.Just when the infantry was in a state of desperation, the infantry saw the rescuers: "My lord, General Lu is in charge of food and grass, I will help you!" After speaking, he pointed to Lu Shengduo's military account.

"Hurry up" Wei Chi continued to put on a tiger face, the infantry hurried to Lu Shengduo's military tent, and while running, he was glad that he was standing in the right position today, thank you General Lu.

Not long after, a soldier of modest stature came over following the infantryman just now.

"The last general, Lu Shengduo, sees the leader, what orders do you have?"

"Well, General Lu, you don't need to be polite, take me to verify the amount of the big load." Wei Chi took a deep breath secretly, this person was not good-looking but concealed a sinister aura, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

After the ceremony, the two left the infantry and went to the grain cart.

While listening to Lu Shengduo's report, Wei Chi silently flipped through the food records. After walking into the depths of the convoy, Wei Chi quickened his pace and secretly held Lu Shengduo's palm.Lu Shengduo was not surprised, but just spread out his palm lightly - there was a small coat of arms on the palm, which was the seal of Prince Yan's Mansion.Wei Chi secretly stamped this on his hand with the inscription on the back of the pigeon whistle.

"Master Wei" Lu Shengduo stopped counting: "Master Wei must really want to know why King Yan asked you to come to find his subordinates?"

"Lord Lu, please don't call yourself that," Wei Chi turned to look at Liangben, "I should obey your lord's orders."

"Lord Wei misunderstood." Lu Shengduo didn't turn his head back: "His Royal Highness Yan Wang and Qin Wang just want me to keep you safe, there is nothing that I can't order."

Wei Chi was taken aback.

"Your Majesty Wei is a smart man. You cannot meddle in the affairs of the battlefield... What His Royal Highness King Yan wants is for you to return to Beijing safely."

"Yes."

"Master Wei, if there is anything you don't understand, or if you want to ask... feel free to ask, I know everything, and I can talk endlessly."

"Yes."

Between the words, the two had already walked out of the convoy.Only then did Lu Shengduo turn around and bow to Wei Chi: "Wei Canling, is the amount of the burden correct?"

Wei Chi nodded: "Please, General Lu."

"Dandan, wheat, dry firewood, and wooden frames are all under the control of my subordinates. In the future, you can directly check with Mr. Lu, and your subordinates will leave!" Lu Shengduo did not stay longer, and Wei Chi nodded and said goodbye.

When passing the corner, Lu Shengduo sneaked a glance behind him, and saw that Wei Chi did not return to the camp immediately, but went to the camp behind to check the school.Spreading out his palm, he saw the faint coat of arms. It seemed that Wei Tanhua was not as stupid as he thought.Very good... If you are really an idiot who gets in your way, don't blame yourself for not giving King Yan face.Lu Shengduo gently wiped off the word "Swallow" on his palm...

Wei Chi went down the school unhurriedly, recalling just now, he was secretly a little surprised that Lu Shengduo was the military commander of the grain guard, and he was able to know the number of big loads like a grain officer.That face is so ordinary, so ordinary that people can't remember it clearly, but the eagle-like eyes are chilling.It seems that I overestimated the dependence of King Yan on him, and also overestimated the trust of King Yan in Geng Bingwen. Chen Ang did not plan to use his immature pawn, but he did not believe that Geng Bingwen's friendship could protect Wei Chi's life. Safety.

After walking around the rear army for a long time, Wei Chi finally returned to his military tent out of breath. He opened the curtain and saw Du Yun sitting inside drinking tea...

Well!Wei Chi let out a mournful cry, turned around and fled.

Du Yun hurriedly put down the tea in his hand and chased after him.

The soldiers of the big camp gathered around and saw that after a while of chasing, Wei Shenling was thrown to the ground by a hungry tiger by General Du without any suspense.

"Du Ran!! I will be going to Xilin Gol in three days at most!! I am very busy!! I am very busy!!! You want to let me live!!!" Wei Chi wailed in despair.Xilin Gol was the first city that the rear army encountered. This city was built by Guyuan Maji, a great nobleman in Monan.The city is strong and the horses are strong, the soldiers are fine and food is abundant, I don't know how difficult it is to fight...Wei Chi has suffered from insomnia for the past two days... Really, really can't deal with Du Ran.

"It's serious! It's serious!" Du Yun ignored Wei Chi's struggles and dragged Wei Chi away...Wei Chi felt that he was no longer human at this moment, like a bundle of pigweed...I was so sad up...

The two of them dragged their way to the stable.

"Wei Chi, do you know what soldier you are?" Du Ran asked mysteriously.

"Cavalry!" Wei Chi gave him an angry look.

"Come on! Let's go to the horse race!" Du Cane said without beginning or end.

"Brother Du! I've only run a few miles to check food and grass, and I'm almost exhausted. Please let me go!" Wei Chi felt like he was going crazy.

"If you don't want to race horses, let's compete with guns!" Du Ran grabbed Wei Chi's wrist with a smile.

Wei Chi couldn't break free... he could only accept his fate: "Horse racing...horse racing!"

Satisfied, Du Yun waved to Zhang Huaiyuan who was in the distance, and Zhang Huaiyuan came over leading a black horse.This black horse is Du Ran's mount, a good horse from the Western Regions, and has been fighting with Du Ran for several years.

"Go and lead your awkward horse. The last general wanted to do it for me, but I can't do it for you." Du Yun took the reins of the black horse and deliberately teased Wei Chi.

Wei Chi sighed, went into the stable and pulled out the leopard by himself.The leopard had eaten enough food and water, and circled around Wei Chi energetically.

"How do you compare?" Wei Chi asked Du Ran angrily as he mounted the leopard.

Du Yun slapped the horse's ass with a whip: "Catch me!"

The author has something to say: Du Ran...I found out that I fell in love with you...

Du Mou: You have fallen in love with many people... Please, don't embarrass yourself here...
