As night fell, torches were lit everywhere in the camp. Looking from a high place, the flames were dotted like a huge astrolabe.
Liu Ruyi's troops had just set up camp in a wide area adjacent to the northeastern side of the camp when they heard reports from outside that Marshal Zuo wanted to see him.
Liu Ruyi was startled, but her mind was spinning rapidly.
Although it is said that the visiting army should pay a visit to the coach after arriving at their destination, it is already night now, and Zuo Liangyu is definitely not a human being! With his current strength, if there are not a hundred actual Qianzongs under his command, then at least he has to
Eighty! Why would he want to see him? Normally, as President Liu Ruyiqian, he would only need to find a guerrilla or deputy general to take over at most. How could he be qualified to be personally visited by the famous Marshal Zuo?
?
Although her mind was full of questions, Liu Ruyi did not dare to neglect her appearance. She followed the messenger who came to inform and walked towards the depths of the camp.
…………
This military camp was so big that it took more than half an hour of walking before Liu Ruyi arrived at the Chinese military camp. The leading messenger went to report, while Liu Ruyi stood waiting outside quietly.
After a while, the messenger walked out of the tent and whispered: "Master Liu, the commander-in-chief invites you to come in!"
Liu Ruyi nodded and stuffed a few more banknotes into the courier's hand, pretending to be worried on his face.
The messenger seemed to understand Liu Ruyi's nervousness. He smiled softly and said in a low voice: "Master Liu, don't panic! A certain handsome man looks good tonight, so it shouldn't be a bad thing!"
Liu Ruyi pretended to be grateful and bowed her hand to him, and then walked into the Chinese army's tent.
"Liu Ruyi, who holds the humble position of Jinan Guard Qianhu, joins the command!" Liu Ruyi knelt down on one knee and did not look at the man sitting in the tent, but lowered his head respectfully.
Although Zuo Liangyu only has the rank of Chief Military Officer, he does not like others to call him 'Sir', but prefers others to call him 'Commander'. Over time, this has become a habit. After all, in the Ming Dynasty for decades,
There are hundreds of general soldiers, but which one person can command an army of 100,000 like him? Therefore, no one will argue with him over such a trivial matter.
"Haha, don't be nervous! Speaking of which, we can be regarded as fellow Shandong fellows! Are you Zhangqiu Liu Ruyi?"
Although the voice on the stage was a bit cold, it was very gentle. Liu Ruyi raised her head slightly, but met a pair of slightly sharp eyes.
"It's just a humble position! How could the commander know about a humble position?" Liu Ruyi pretended to be confused.
"Haha!" Zuo Liangyu laughed and waved his hands casually, "Just get up and talk!"
Liu Ruyi stood up respectfully and cautiously glanced inside the tent.
This tent is very large and slightly luxurious. The ground is covered with fine Persian wool carpets. The main seat in the middle is carved from high-grade rosewood. It is also covered with a complete tiger skin. The ferocious tiger head is lifelike and imitated.
It seems like tigers can still roar in the mountains and forests.
Zuo Liangyu also looked at Liu Ruyi with great interest, but he was thinking in his heart, where did this young man come from? Why should even a spirit like Cao Xiong be so wary?
After pondering for a moment, Zuo Liangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Qian, you have worked hard all the way. It's so late, and Zuo is calling you in. You won't blame Zuo, right?"
"The Commander-in-Chief is serious!" Liu Ruyi hurriedly clasped her fists and saluted, "Being summoned by the Commander-in-Chief is a blessing for me. Why can't others just ask for it? I have often heard about the Marshal's reputation since I was a child.
, seeing you today, I really fulfilled a long-cherished wish of my life! I don’t know why I am grateful to the commander-in-chief!"
"Haha~~~~~!"
Zuo Liangyu smiled even more, "You are a good little kid, and your mouth is quite sweet! How are you getting used to coming here? If you have any requirements, just tell Zuo! After all, you are also someone's
If you can take care of me, I must give priority to you!"
Liu Ruyi raised her head and secretly looked at Zuo Liangyu.
I saw that he was handsome and tall, with a kind smile, and there was no trace of hypocrisy in his expression. One look at him, and you couldn't help but feel a sense of trust in your heart.
'This man really has some real abilities. No wonder he can network so many scattered officers and soldiers to serve him! Whether he is sincere or pretending, just based on his attitude towards me tonight, I can give him at least nine points!'
Liu Ruyi praised it secretly in her heart.
"Commander, I don't want to ask for a humble position for the time being! I just hope that the commander can send me to the front battlefield as soon as possible so that I can make some achievements for the commander. I can't lose your face, commander, can I?" Liu Ruyi smiled and hugged me.
Holding fists.
"Haha! He's not old, but he's very ambitious! Yes, Zuo likes it!" Zuo Liangyu clapped his hands with a smile, stood up, and walked to Liu Ruyi's side.
He was similar in height to Liu Ruyi, but his figure was much stronger than Liu Ruyi. He smiled and patted Liu Ruyi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "When other people come, they all hope that Zuo will arrange them to the rear.
To ensure your own safety! Brother Liu, as soon as you came here, you asked to go to the battlefield, why is this?"
He looked into Liu Ruyi's eyes, and a slightly meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Ruyi seemed to feel what he wanted to tell her, but she couldn't guess it for the moment. She just lowered her head respectfully and said: "I have no idea about my humble position. I just want to be a pawn in front of the commander-in-chief and kill the enemy for the commander-in-chief!"
As for me, if I can do what I say, the commander-in-chief will not treat me badly!"
"Good! Well said!" Zuo Liangyu praised, "Brother Liu, do you know? Looking at you in front of me, it reminds Zuo of himself back then!"
Liu Ruyi looked at Zuo Liangyu's slightly deep gaze and did not answer, but lowered her head respectfully.
"Haha! That's fine~~~! Since Brother Liu you have this confidence, then Zuo will help you!"
Zuo Liangyu patted Liu Ruyi's shoulder appreciatively and explained in detail: "Right now, the gangsters Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Sweeper King, Huntian King, and more than a dozen groups, large and small, are gathering towards Nanyang City.
We are approaching, we are under great pressure now! The day before yesterday, Deputy General Jin Shenghuan asked for reinforcements and troops, but he had not yet made up his mind! Since you, Brother Liu, have spoken, I will give you this opportunity!"
Zuo Liangyu paused for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "You can lead your troops to escort Jin Shenghuan's grain, grass, and military pay, and rush to Nanyang City today! This is what I will give, and there won't be any more! By then,
You can keep some of it on your own, but don’t make it too obvious. If you have other military matters, just listen to his arrangements!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the tiger-skin seat. With a tired look on his face, he smiled gently at Liu Ruyi and waved his hand.
Liu Ruyi understood what he meant and bowed, "In that case, I will resign from my humble post!"
"Haha, let's go!"
…………
On the way back to the headquarters camp, Liu Ruyi kept thinking about the meaning of Zuo Liangyu's words!
What does he want to do? Since he wants to help him escort the food and grass, why does he allow himself to intercept it privately? You know, in wartime, this is a serious crime of beheading! Could it be that he wants to set up a trap to let
Do you want to dig in yourself? But, look at his words and actions, this, this doesn’t seem like it!
Given his status, if he really wanted to harm himself, why would he go to such trouble? Wouldn't it be cleaner to just find any reason and send himself to the front line to face the thieves head-on?
Unknowingly, Liu Ruyi had already walked back to her big tent. As soon as she opened the curtain and walked in, she felt a warm and plump body running into her arms.
Liu Ruyi was startled, and when she took a closer look, she saw that it was the woman who was speaking who was rescued today.
"Girl, what do you mean?" Liu Ruyi gently pushed her body away.
"Sir, this little girl was entrusted by her sisters and came here to thank you for saving her life!" This woman is quite slim, with snow-white skin, and a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to talk.
"Girl, I am a man, and he still has some conscience! I think that as long as he is not a beast, he will not let a person like this girl die!" Liu Ruyi took two steps back and pulled away from her.
a certain distance.
"Sir, I know you are a good person, so I came here to repay you. Otherwise, my sisters and I would have found a way to escape long ago!" The woman gritted her silver teeth and mustered up her courage.
"Good guy~~~~~?" Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Girl, actually I'm not a good guy either. Before I change my mind, you should go and have a rest! When I have the opportunity tomorrow, I'll send someone to you
You go home!"
"Home? Haha~~~~!"
The woman gave a miserable smile, indescribably desolate, "Where can I have a home? If we sisters can live one more day, it is already a blessing from God! My lord, do you dislike me for being dirty?"
After she finished speaking, she quickly took off her thin layer of clothes, exposing her white body to Liu Ruyi.
However, what was not beautiful was that Liu Ruyi saw several unspeakable and hideous scars on her body, as if a beautiful picture had been cut by a human being.
"Girl, I don't mean this! Don't get me wrong!" Liu Ruyi quickly took off the cloak of his coat and put it on her body. "I didn't save you just to get rewards from you! We are brothers and sisters of the same origin.
Why bother fighting each other? Girl, you can rest assured, I am here and I will definitely protect you!"
"Sir~~~" The woman's tears couldn't stop pouring out. She hugged Liu Ruyi's legs tightly and kowtowed as hard as she could.
Just as Liu Ruyi was about to reach out and help her up, she heard a commotion outside. After a moment, Xiao Liu'er ran in quickly and said, "Young master, it's not good! Someone is here to ask for help!"
Liu Ruyi's expression changed, "Who is so bold?"
Xiao Liuer scratched his big head, "He said his name was Zuo Geng, they all called him Young Marshal!"
"Hmm~~?" Liu Ruyi frowned, how did he lure this god here?
The woman's expression changed drastically, like a wounded kitten, she grabbed Liu Ruyi's clothes tightly and refused to let go.
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath of air-conditioning, tried to calm down her emotions, and patted the woman's shoulder gently to express comfort, "You stay here and don't go anywhere! Maybe things are not that bad. Mr.
