At this time, Leng Yi and his party were still heading north. Cheng Xu was riding a tall horse in front, and his movements were a little difficult and slow, while Leng Yi followed the soldiers on foot.Cheng Xu came from a rich family, spoiled and pampered, and suddenly became a general. At first he had to sit in a sedan chair in order to maintain his majesty, but the rough and rough mountain roads in the northern country were not suitable for taking a sedan chair at all. Sitting in it not only I didn't feel comfortable at all, but bumped all the way until my waist was sore and my legs were weak.Finally, Cheng Xu couldn't bear it any longer, so he got out of the sedan chair.But he is a general, how can he walk side by side with those soldiers?So he started riding, and kept walking in front of the soldiers.And Leng Yi was riding a horse at first, but when he arrived at the northern border and saw the endless mountain roads, he wisely chose to get off his horse and walk.However, Cheng Xu's rough ride on horseback somewhat delayed the itinerary of the entire army, but no one dared to mention it and no one wanted to mention it.

The deputy general doesn't have to carry any weight, so it's not very tiring, and it can also shorten the distance between him and the soldiers.In the past, he was used to caring about Li Qingyu's affairs in every detail, and he was usually gentle. He would naturally take care of anyone who was close to him, regardless of his status or status.Naturally, Cheng Xu couldn't do this. From his point of view, he came out to march and fight for great things. After making meritorious service, he went back to become an official and a nobleman to honor his family's ancestors!Who has the time to care about the trivial matters of those soldiers.

So within a few days, word spread among the soldiers that their deputy general, Leng Yi, was a gentle man who was approachable and caring for his subordinates, and their general, Cheng Xu, was an airy and arrogant person, which was not easy to mess with anyway.

Of course, Cheng Xu and Leng Yi couldn't hear these discussions, and Leng Yi still admired Cheng Xu, after all, he lost to him in the imperial examination for the champion of martial arts.But Cheng Xu didn't look down on Leng Yi at all, he was just a servant, so what if he got the second place in the ranking and became a general.A servant will always be a servant, with a humble and servile look.For this reason, he didn't give Leng Yi any chance to communicate with him, so it's not clear what kind of person Cheng Xu is, and whether there is any connotation and strategy for Leng Yi.Although Cheng Xu has been cold and silent all the time, Leng Yi guesses that this kind of person is probably because he is extremely intelligent and knows everything well, so he looks at the surrounding things with cold eyes.

The day and night were approaching again, and the army temporarily set up camp at the place they had reached.Although the days passed quickly, on the one hand, it was indescribably hard to travel every day, and on the other hand, without Li Qingyu by his side, Leng Yi didn't feel the passage of time, and felt a little sad.

Cheng Xu is the general, so naturally he has a tent alone, and Leng Yi is the deputy general, and he also has a tent alone.The rest of the soldiers were not treated so well. Most of them were seven or eight people crammed into a tent, and some people stayed outside to watch the night.

Mobei can't compare to the rows of rows in the capital, and it can't compare to the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. If you don't walk on the mountain road, it will be terribly empty, and the wind will blow the ground, and the more you go north, the more the tent will be overturned. a feeling of.Leng Yi couldn't sleep, so he simply took a pot of burning knives out, found a shelter from the wind, sat on the ground and drank.

Although the surrounding environment was empty, the moon was very bright, and tonight happened to be the night of the full moon, which was even brighter than in the past.Different from the kind of warm and intoxicating yellow in the capital, it is a pale color, so pale that it is cold, and it looks extremely cold when compared with the surrounding environment.Leng Yi gathered her clothes, and she was still thinking about whether Li Qingyu, who was thousands of miles away in the capital, had put on thick clothes now, and whether she had covered herself with a quilt when she slept at night...

In short, he was worried after leaving his side, but he had no choice but to stare blankly at the ring on his left middle finger.

The soldiers were not afraid of him either. Seeing him sitting there alone, the night watchman came up to him, and one of them saw the fancy ring on Leng Yi's finger at a glance.

"General, this ring is so beautiful, isn't it worth old money?" The soldier named Fang Yu asked with a smile.

"I don't know how much it's worth, but it's very important to me, it's priceless!" Leng Yi jokingly twirled the ring twice, with an undisguised smile: "You don't need to call me a general, since you are going to the battlefield together, It’s just brothers, the older ones should be called “brothers” and the younger ones should be called “big brothers.”

The general is so kind, he doesn't put on airs at all, Fang Yu and the others laughed even more happily.Because he was younger than Leng Yi, Fang Yu nudged Leng Yi with his elbow and said with a smile: "It seems that my wife gave it to me to make my elder brother so happy."

Leng Yi smiled and said nothing, another person came and pushed Fang Yu aside, and said with a smile: "I heard that elder brother is not married yet, how could he be a wife."

Fang Yu smiled knowingly: "It seems that I haven't passed the door yet, but I must be my sweetheart."

Mentioning that the sweetheart is always happy, Leng Yi's obvious smile deepened, and Fang Yu's group became even more excited, joining in the fun and asking, "What kind of person is it?"

"It must be a lady from a rich family." Before Leng Yi could speak, someone rushed to guess.

"How's your temper?"

"Does it need to be said, my elder brother must be looking for a gentle, virtuous, dignified and polite lady."

"Hey, you don't understand. Sometimes it's just a little bit of a temper that makes it taste good. How anxious you are to put on airs with men all day long."

"I'm a person who has been here. To find a wife, I have to find someone who can live!"

All of a sudden, several people chattered into a mess, and Fang Yu yelled: "Oh, you are so annoying, don't make noise, I want to hear what my elder brother has to say."

"What are you doing so late? If you continue to make noise and ignore your mission, everything will be punished by military law!" Before Leng Yi could respond, Cheng Xu walked out of the tent and yelled at the crowd.

When Leng Yi stood up and was about to say something, Cheng Xu turned around and lectured him loudly: "And you, Leng Yi, a deputy general, lead a group of people to mess around in the middle of the night, what do you look like?"

"Sorry, I won't do it again." Leng Yi hurriedly apologized to Cheng Xu, who gave him a glare before walking back to the tent.

It's so fierce... Fang Yu stuck out his tongue at Leng Yi: "I'm sorry, brother, I have troubled you."

"It's nothing, what the general said is right, we are a little noisy." Leng Yi didn't care, turned to the rest of the people and said: "Those who have tasks are on duty, and those who don't have tasks go to the rest meeting, and they have to get up early tomorrow. "

The soldiers listened to Leng Yi's words very much, so they all dispersed. Fang Yu didn't go back. He was supposed to be on duty tonight, so he sat next to Leng Yi: "Brother, go back and rest too."

Leng Yi shook his head: "I can't sleep, why don't you go to sleep, I'll take your place."

"No, I'm not very sleepy either." Fang Yu sat down and stared at the jug in Leng Yi's hand, with a curious expression on his face.

Leng Yi laughed and said, "Have you never had a drink?"

Fang Yu shook his head, he was not very old, if it wasn't because he was an orphan and his family had no worries, he wouldn't have come to serve as a soldier. Normally, he wouldn't have enough to eat, so he wouldn't have had a drink.

Leng Yi handed the jug in front of him: "Do you want to try it?"

Fang Yu wanted to try it a long time ago, how can a man who has never drunk be considered a man?As soon as Leng Yi said this, he quickly took it, lifted it up and took a big gulp into his mouth, then he was choked as expected, and coughed violently.

Leng Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly patted him on the back, Fang Yu was a simple boy, fair and innocent, well-behaved and sensible, and very lovable.Leng Yi has always taken good care of him, as if he was treating his younger brother. He will inevitably rely on Leng Yi more, and the relationship between the two is better than ordinary people.

"Are you still coming?" Leng Yi looked at him with a little teasing.

"Wait a minute, I'll take it easy..." Fang Yu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, inadvertently showing a little tattoo mark on his wrist, Leng Yi raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and wanted to pull his sleeve away to take a closer look.Seeing that Leng Yi saw it, Fang Yu blushed and wanted to hide, but he was not as strong as Leng Yi, so in the end he had to roll up his sleeves and let him watch obediently.

"Ying?" Seeing this word, Leng Yi felt a little puzzled.He thought it would be some kind of arrogant pattern, why did he tattoo a girl's name on his wrist?

Fang Yu pulled up his sleeves and nodded shyly: "It's very beautiful."

It took Leng Yi a while to realize what Fang Yu meant by good-looking, and he asked with a smile, "How long have you been together?"

Unexpectedly, Fang Yu lowered his eyes and shook his head: "How long can we talk about it? It's hard to say whether she knows that there is me in the world."

"Why?" Leng Yi was surprised.

Fang Yu smiled wryly: "I'm a poor boy, she's a lady from a rich family, it's just my own unrequited love, maybe when I go back everyone will get married." He shook his wrist: "I'm not the one about the war." I understand it very well, but I also know that the battlefield is very dangerous, and I might die at any time. I can only think about her in this way, but it doesn't matter, she is so good, she shouldn't be blocked by someone like me from a better life in the future. "

Both of them were silent for a while, Leng Yi suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Think about it, one day you will be successful and return to the imperial court. If she is not married, you will have a chance. Everything will be fine , as long as there is a chance, I can't give up, and so do I. Although I don't know when I can go back, but when I think of the person I love waiting for me in the capital, no matter how difficult it is. No matter what, we have to fight for it Go back alive."

The eldest brother actually talked to him so intimately, Fang Yu was so moved that tears were about to come out.Fortunately, he was young, and any sluggish emotions quickly dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Well, we all have to go back alive!"

"General, general, about five miles away, there is a person who looks like a girl and is running towards us." The two of them were laughing happily, and an older veteran hurried over to report to Leng Yi, and then He lowered his voice and said, "It looks like he's from Fuji Kingdom."
