[69 Book Bar - www.] At this time, I heard Zheng Zhao say: "It's Bai Wei! Where is she now? Tell me quickly!"
I was a little unhappy and said, "Mr. Zheng, I told you that you can no longer read my mind."
His face turned red and he said: "General Chu, I'm so sorry. I don't need to. Tell me quickly, where is Bai Wei now? You didn't think of her at all."
Didn't I think of her? I couldn't help but feel confused. Indeed, it had been three days since Bai Wei and Zi Liao left, but since they left, I seemed to have thought of them involuntarily except when I was being read by Zheng Zhao in Wuhou's tent.
Of the two, I usually think more about the woman playing the pipa. Maybe the kiss Bai Wei gave me before leaving was just gratitude.
I was just thinking about it when Zheng Zhao suddenly said: "General Chu, tell me quickly, where has she gone?"
His face was full of panic. Maybe he was afraid that I would be like those imperial army generals who kidnapped women and would not take them seriously and massacre them at will. Maybe my silence for a long time made him have such suspicions. I smiled and said,
Said: "Don't worry, they went to Wuyang City three days ago. If everything goes well, they might have arrived by now."
Wuyang City is more than 300 miles away from Gaojiu City. If you drive fast, you can reach it in a little more than a day and night. They went by carriage. If the journey goes smoothly, they may have arrived in three days. Zheng Zhao felt comfortable at this time.
He took a breath and said, "Go to Wuyang City?"
He looked relieved, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is Bai Wei your fiancée?"
He smiled bitterly, his face turned red, and said, "I'd like to, but she hasn't agreed yet. General Chu, thank you."
He looked at me, almost crying with gratitude. I sighed and said, "It's wartime now, and I was a little worried when the two sisters left."
Zheng Zhaodao: "Don't worry, since Bai Wei is determined to leave, nothing will go wrong. With her skills, two or three men can't get close to her."
I was surprised and said, "Is she that capable? I didn't see it at all."
Zheng Zhao smiled and said: "They are the daughters of Duan Hairuo, one of Cang Yue Gong's seven-day generals. Don't you know?"
When Zheng Zhao said this name, I was even more surprised. I have also heard of Duan Hairuo's name. He was ranked fifth among the seven-day generals under Cang Yue Gong, and Haoyong was ranked first. He was a famous general in the Republican Army.
.At the beginning of last year, Duke Cang Yue sent an overwhelming army to the south bank of the river. He camped for fifty miles on the bank and built a large number of warships. Seeing that the empire was in danger, at that time, Marquis Wu was still on his way to the king, and Marquis Wen crossed the river with a partial force to burn out the battle.
The ship destroyed Duke Cang Yue's offensive, and the main force of the 300,000 Republican Army assembled on the south bank was completely defeated. Only then did the empire reverse the unfavorable war situation since the Republican Army launched its troops. Later, Marquis Wu was able to mobilize 100,000 troops to march south.
When Cang Yue Gong was defeated, it was Duan Hairuo who led the rear. Marquis Wen and Marquis Wu joined forces to pursue them. Duan Hairuo blocked the Pegasus Ferry with an army of ten thousand people, using a few to defeat the masses. After all, they were outnumbered and were defeated by Marquis Wen.
The two generals, Water and Fire, succeeded in forcing the crossing, and 200,000 imperial troops rushed ashore with thunderous force, but Duan Hairuo refused to retreat. In the end, only 800 of the 10,000 people he commanded were left, and they were surrounded on a hill. Marquis Wen cherished him
I once sent people to recruit people to surrender, but Duan Hairuo drove away the lobbyists until he died in the battle. At that time, I also participated in the siege battle in the forward camp. I saw Duan Hairuo charge continuously with 700 men until the entire army was annihilated.
Although he hated that he had restrained the entire imperial army with such a meager force, so that Marquis Wen's well-conceived plan failed in the end, such heroic actions also won the admiration of the imperial army. It was precisely because of Duan Hairuo's desperate battle.
, Cang Yue was able to lead the remaining troops back to southern Xinjiang, otherwise the Republican Army would have been defeated as early as last year. Unexpectedly, Duan Hairuo’s daughter became my maid for a few days. I remembered that Bai Wei told me that they were mid-level officials of the Republican Army.
When I saw my daughter, there was no strange color on her face, and I didn’t think about anything else at all.
They were able to hide it so well and were so persevering. I was a little bit disappointed, but not dissatisfied at all.
Zheng Zhao suddenly said: "General Chu, I want to find them."
I frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are now a member of the Zuo Army. If you run away from the battlefield, it will be a capital crime."
Zheng Zhao smiled and said: "When I met General Lu, I told him that once I find Bai Wei, I will quit the army. I will not participate in either the Imperial Army or the Republican Army. For the rest of my life
I just want to be a farmer, farm in peace, and live a life where men farm and women weave."
Only Lu Jingyu could agree to such a request. I thought with emotion. I nodded to him and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
He smiled and was about to say something when an exclamation suddenly came from below the city.
At first I thought it was the snake people attacking again, but the exclamations were just frightening and not chaotic. Outside the city, the snake people's camp was still dusty, but there was no intention of attacking. And even if the snake people attacked,
It makes no sense, but the people under the city knew it first. I walked to the city wall and saw the Dragon Scale Army that had been practicing just now standing still, looking up to the sky. I also looked up.
But he saw a huge flying bird passing by in the sky. This bird was extremely strange, with its wings spread out and motionless. Because it was impossible to tell how big it was in the sky, but it was at least as long as a person. Zheng Zhao was on the side.
He was also surprised: "What is that?"
This big bird flew over my head and flew towards the snake camp. At this time, two soldiers from the right army who were patrolling the city ran over. I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
The two soldiers already knew me, and one said: "Commander Chu, that is something Xue Gongzheng made, it can fly!"
Did Xue Wenyi make it? He is very skillful with his hands. He made the huge kite I took when I escaped from the snake camp. It was probably a kite. Look how fast this bird-like thing can fly.
It's extremely stable, but no matter how you look, you can't see any ropes attached to it.
The two soldiers had rushed to the edge of the city and watched the kite fly away. At this time, Zheng Zhao also came over and suddenly exclaimed: "There is someone up there!"
Only then did I see a person sitting on it. I said, "Who is that? What are you doing?"
A soldier turned around and said, "Commander Chu, Gong Xue is sitting on it."
"What is he going to do?"
The soldier seemed to be very familiar with Xue Wenyi and said: "Xue Gongzheng said that all the kites made in the past had to be connected with ropes. Half of the reasons why the fire attack on the snake man failed was because we had to use ropes and could only rely on snakes."
The kite cannot be flown so close to the human camp. He wants to make a kite without ropes and is currently experimenting with it."
A kite without a rope? I paused my feet and said, "Nonsense! He flew to the snake camp. How could he come back without a rope?"
As if to answer my words, the kite had flown a mile away and had almost reached the snake-man formation. Suddenly it made a circle in the air, as if being pulled by an invisible rope, and flew back again. I couldn't help but be surprised.
I was stunned and couldn't figure out how that happened.
