Chapter Sixteen Into the Wolf's Lair
The name of Baihu is Jin Mancheng. He is a middle-aged man with a round face, a fat belly, and a shiny face. He is wearing a suit of armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and he is already panting and sweating profusely even when he stands.
The two general bannermen, named Li Kun and Cheng Gao, didn't look much better.
They are all officials, not like soldiers or generals.
Jin Mancheng took a breath, looked up at the soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "Brothers, you all know that the Meng Yuan people have gone south."
"It's still far away from us now. But we have to guard against it."
"From now on, we will practice every three days."
"People are not allowed to leave the team if they have nothing to do."
"Whoever dares to leave the team without permission will be killed."
His body is puffy and fat, but his official authority is not small. The word "Zhan" is majestic, like a sharp blade, floating above the heads of the soldiers, and it will fall down at any time.
Wu Nian has no objection to this. As for the army, if it cannot maintain strict military discipline, it will have no combat effectiveness. If there is an official announcement, he will abide by it.
Li Ding has nothing to do to look for trouble, so let’s take care of the rest.
However, this military camp is under closed management, and Liu Xiang is still sick. In addition, his relationship with Li Ding is also a problem.
Wu Nian frowned, feeling that it was troublesome, very troublesome.
Under the leadership of their respective flags, Wu Nian and the soldiers followed the crowd and responded in unison.
"yes."
Jin Mancheng nodded with satisfaction, and said in a slightly calmer tone: "I allow you to go home today and give an explanation. You will be back in half an hour. After regrouping, each flag will be responsible for their own training."
"Thank you, Master Baihu."
Wu Nian followed the crowd and bowed to Jin Mancheng.
Li Ding stood at the front, holding on to the handle of the knife at his waist. He turned his head and glanced at Wu Nian, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a slight sneer.
He had another idea.
"See if I don't kill you."
The anger in Li Ding's chest was boiling. Now the matter was no longer as simple as his sister coveting the Wu family's land.
Now he has lost face and wants to eat Wu Niansheng alive.
Wu Nian noticed Li Ding's eyes very keenly. Although he frowned, he also sneered. Let the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.
What are you afraid of?
Wu Nian quickly left the military camp with Tieniu, Li Yong and others.
After leaving the gate, everyone looked at Wu Nian as if he were a weirdo. If it hadn't been interrupted by the sound of drums, they wouldn't have known how it would end.
This Wu Nian's biggest advantage is that he can drink. Now he is so stupid that he dares to treat Li Ding like this.
Like a puddle of mud, he actually stood up.
Incredible, incredible.
However, after being shocked, he gradually regained his composure. Li Yong, a mature man, sighed, shook his head and said:
"You really seem like a different person. But you have to be careful. Li Ding is not broad-minded and will definitely take revenge on you."
"Besides, this is a special period, and he has scruples. On normal days, he would have dragged you out just now and beaten you half to death."
"You should think about how to end this."
After saying that, Li Yong reached out and patted Wu Nian's shoulder, sighed and left.
"You are a man. If you need anything, I can help you as much as I can." Tieniu also patted Wu Nian on the shoulder, turned and left.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also surrendered to Wu Nian and left.
Wu Nian also clasped his fists at everyone, and after they left, he sneered and walked back to his home.
After returning home, Wu Nian took off the iron helmet from his head and held it in his arms. He first went to the kitchen and took a look. There was no porridge left in the morning.
And the dishes and chopsticks were also put away cleanly.
Wu Nian laughed and came to Liu Xiang's bedroom to check.
Liu Xiang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, covered with a shabby quilt, doing needlework in her hands.
She is a hard-working person, and she was never idle in such an environment before. Not only did she do housework at home, she could also weave to support the family.
Of course, a lot of the money was gambled away by the original owner.
Now I see that Wu Nian has really changed. She is full of vitality from the inside out. As her health gradually improves, she can no longer sit still.
She heard the noise and looked up. When she saw Wu Nian walking in fully armed, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Their Beishan Fort was located relatively far back and had never fought against the Mongolians. However, she also heard that many soldiers from the guard fought against the Mongolians and ended up losing more than they won, resulting in heavy casualties.
Looking at the days at home, I feel hopeful. Why is there going to be a war?
Liu Xiang wanted to say a few words to Wu Nian, but she didn't know how to speak.
Wu Nian saw her stunned on the bed. Although she said nothing, her eyes were slightly red. Wu Nian guessed that she was worried about him, and he couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart.
He originally wanted to step forward and kill Liu Xiang with a pat on the head, but thinking that Liu Xiang still suffered from the sequelae of domestic violence, he did not reach out. He smiled and said: "Xiang'er. Jin Baihu issued a military order. I will go back to the military camp soon, and I can't come out if I have nothing to do."
But don’t worry too much, the Meng Yuan people haven’t reached our Beishan Fort yet.”
"You are alone and your illness has not fully recovered. Don't be brave. You can take a break with housework. If you need anything, ask the tiger girl next door to help."
"Besides, you can eat the lotus seeds and venison here as much as you want, and don't be reluctant to part with them."
Wu Nian was chattering. After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Liu Xiang was still dumbfounded and unresponsive.
He wasn't angry, he just hugged his helmet, said something, turned around and left the house.
"I'm leaving."
Liu Xiang seemed unresponsive, but her emotions were fluctuating greatly inside.
As long as you are willing, a stone can be heated.
What's more, Liu Xiang is Wu Nian's fiancée.
She is a good girl, but she was beaten severely by the original owner before, which is why she suffered all the consequences later.
Wu Nian jumped into the well to save her, fulfilled his promise and really went hunting, which changed his mind. She felt warm in her heart.
Seeing that Wu Nian said so much, and Wu Nian was going to the military camp, he might really have to fight with the Meng Yuan people.
Liu Xiang didn't dare to go down. When Wu Nian was about to leave the house, she mustered up her courage and shouted: "Brother, take care of yourself."
Wu Nian's steps froze, surprised and happy. Then he turned around, made a fist with his right hand, slapped his chest three times, and said, "Don't worry. I'm strong, everything will be fine."
After saying that, Wu Nian became cruel and turned around and left.
Life at home was about to be prosperous. If it weren't for the military orders, he would have really wanted to continue living at home.
But there is no way, people in the world cannot help themselves.
"Woo." Seeing Wu Nian walking away, Liu Xiang hurriedly opened the quilt and chased after him. When he arrived at the door, he didn't see Wu Nian. Finally he couldn't help but hold on to the door frame, tears bursting from his eyes, and he was choked with sobs.
After Wu Nian returned to the military camp, he waited for a long time before seeing Tieniu, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui and Li Yong return.
Li Ding, an official, finally came to the main room with his servant Chen Guang and sat down majestically. He looked at Wu Nian proudly.
As if to say.
