After resting for two days, Xiang Lincheng summoned the eight people who finally won the assessment and distributed travel equipment. Guan Jiyu thought he had a long oath to lead everyone in reading, and stared at his lips.
But he only said a simple sentence: "I hope you will serve in the army in this life, be loyal and courageous, and serve your country and your family."
Guan Jiyu was silent for a while. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yingnian and saw that his face was solemn. It was more solemn and serious than she had ever seen before. She didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, after hearing these words, she felt in her heart
There is infinite confusion.
Serve the country and the family? This sentence sounds very heroic and passionate, but it can't cause any trouble in her heart. Where is the home? Where does she have a home?
For the country, even though she was born in the Xuli Dynasty, who has cared about her wandering days since she was a child? Jiang Qing is the only one in the world who cares about her.
Therefore, the ambition and pride of serving the country and the family, those high-sounding words, and the belief of a loyal person did not exist in her heart. Maybe she once had it, but it disappeared with the death of Jiang Qing.
Without Jiang Qing, there would be no home.
She suddenly firmly believed that Jiang Yingnian must be what she thought at this moment.
The place that fascinates the two of them - the border of Beizhong, what attracts them is just the screams and wails under the shadow of swords, and the joy of blood flowing after killing old enemies.
The goals of the two of them are not simple, right? They are obviously so simple.
Everyone thinks that the reserve army cultivated by the aristocratic family camp is full of loyal men who are proud of their loyalty to the country and guarding the border. Little do they know that in this admirable elite team, there are two people with secret selfish motives.
The two of them just want to avenge their families.
The people in Beiqi Camp seemed to be moved by Xiang Lincheng's words, and they all shouted: "I will join the army in this life, be loyal and courageous, and serve the country and the family!"
"Serve in the army in this life, be loyal and courageous, and serve your country and your family!"
Sometimes the atmosphere needs some people who are brave enough to take the lead.
Everyone soon shouted slogans in unison, which was quite inspiring!
"It's going to be hard here, everyone, take care!" Xiang Lincheng said with a solemn expression, cupping his fists and saluting.
The eight people prepared their marching equipment and mounted their horses to say goodbye. Also going with them were the concentration camp reinforcements sent by Xiang Lincheng. The gate of General Xiang's concentration camp was open, and Xiang's army flag with red cloud pattern and wolf emblem was flying in the wind.
Guan Jiyu got on his horse, and before leaving, he couldn't help but look back. Among the crowd, Xiang Lincheng was dressed in black clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, his black hair tied high, and his hair was flying in the wind.
Those strands of hair seemed to sweep over her heart gently, making her heart tremble.
She stayed for a moment, still waiting for him to say anything else.
Perhaps there were too many people at the moment and it was inconvenient for him to talk to him any more, so he could only stand where he was and watch the team see each other off from a distance.
"Let's go, Ayu." Zheshu urged from the front.
Guan Jiyu recalled what he said on the way back from Houshan Pavilion that day: "The flowers in the capital are really beautiful."
This is a very powerful word, and it is also an appointment he left for her to keep.
Although the road ahead was dangerous and dangerous, his words gave her courage. He wanted her to live a valuable life. Guan Jiyu pondered these words countless times late at night.
If she takes her revenge and goes to hell to find the eldest son, will he be happy?
She didn't know that every time she thought about this incident in the past few days, she felt confused in her heart. It was obvious that she had made up her mind to make that choice before coming to the concentration camp to participate in the selection. She had just started walking along the originally planned path.
, the god-like man who seemed to fall from the sky said to her - live well.
Live well...
How should she live her life to be worthy? Is it like what Xiang Lincheng said? At this moment, she had no idea again.
"Here we come." Guan Jiyu bit his lip, looking worried, and could only gallop his horse to follow the team.
If you can perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you should have the opportunity to go to the capital to receive a reward...
The flowers in the capital were beautiful. How beautiful were they? She couldn't imagine.
She kind of wanted to go and see for herself.
The garrison camp on the northern border.
As soon as Xiang Ju'an entered the main business account, Chen Zhang handed over a letter.
"I'm not back. General Chen just reads the letter for me." Xiang Ju'an didn't sleep all night. He looked obviously tired when he returned to the camp. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank all the tea in a big gulp.
Chen Zhang opened the envelope and presented the letter inside to Xiang Ju'an: "It's a letter from Lincheng. I think you should read it in person."
Xiang Ju'an took it, and after just a few glances, the solemnity in his brows was gone. Looking down, he laughed a few times and said, "Chen Zhang, come and see, Acheng is here."
This letter came at a perfect time!"
Chen Zhang read the letter carefully and said happily: "General, those eight people should be on the way now. Lincheng said that they have sent additional troops to support them. They will definitely arrive before dark!"
"Look, the number one in this list is actually a woman! It's actually a woman..." Xiang Ju'an knocked on the table, his eyes filled with disbelief, and said: "I heard they said there is a woman in Nanqin Qingzi Camp
Little girl, her kung fu is very good. I originally thought it was just a name spread by folklore, but in the past two years, Guan Jiyu was on the list of all the camps in the Xuli Dynasty.
She was even included in the selection list set up by my hussar camp! I was curious about what kind of person is someone who doesn’t like red uniforms but prefers military uniforms?”
"You see, the most interesting ones are the third son of the Jiang family in Nanqin and the second son of the Helan family in Beijing, who are tied for second place." Chen Zhang couldn't hide his joy in his eyes and said: "The top three in this assessment are all
Coming from Nanqin and Jingcheng, this is the most surprising thing."
Xiang Ju'an nodded and said happily: "It's the younger generation who have risen up. In recent years, the war has been intense, but it was only limited to the northern border. What I was worried about was whether the Xuli Dynasty really wanted to divide responsibilities between the north and the south.
?Why do all the men who join the army come from Beizhong? Are there really not many tough guys south of the capital?"
Chen Zhang sat on one side and sighed: "The troops have always been concentrated in Beizhong. In previous years, the recruitment and selection were almost all children of Beizhong families. I have the same view as you. I was still secretly worried that if something happened to the border of Beizhong one day...
…Once the enemy forces break into the defense line, Nanqin and the area will only be reduced to lambs to be slaughtered because they value civility rather than military force.”
Xiang Ju'an carefully folded the letter in his hand and put it away, saying: "This selection has shown me the determination of Nanqin people. Nanqin Jiangfu... Although Jiang Qing has passed away, he is the only one in Nanqin reserve training.
He is definitely the first person to contribute to the border!"
"Now that we have reached Zeyun Pass, the war is still at a stalemate. You have personally led the troops to defend for many days. They are like the previous times. After attacking for three to five days, they stopped fighting and retreated. If they seize the opportunity, they will attack again. According to my subordinates
Looking down, the actual combat strength of the Guyi Army is not stronger than ours. Their actions are obviously consuming us!" Chen Zhang looked at Xiang Ju'an with worried eyes and said: "General, although we are indeed
There is a lack of people who can lead the army, but you don't need to personally supervise the battle every time, as your body will be unable to bear it sooner or later."
Xiang Ju'an leaned back on the chair behind him, and after a brief moment of relaxation, he slowly said: "Zeyun Pass is an important place that our court must compete for. I have returned to the court several times, and Emperor Shu always asked me about the situation at Zeyun Pass.
"
"I have to pay attention to Zeyun Pass," he said tiredly.
Chen Zhang thought for a long time and tentatively said: "But those young people are coming over soon, why not send them directly to Zeyunguan to help you? It can be considered as a practice."
"No." Xiang Ju'an sat up straight and said seriously: "They are all half-grown boys who don't understand anything. I'm worried about following them to Zeyun Pass. When they arrive, you will have to discipline them for half a month."
Pretty much."
"Yes." Chen Zhang responded, "King Guyi has calmed down in the past few days, and there has been no movement. You should rest first. Wait for them to arrive and rest for the night. You can meet these young people early tomorrow morning before leaving.
It’s not too late either.”
Chen Zhang could tell that he was somewhat interested in this new group of newcomers.
Hearing this, Xiang Ju'an didn't say anything more, nodded slightly and said, "That's fine."
It was already dusk when Guan Jiyu, Jiang Yingnian and others were about to arrive at the border garrison camp.
"Did you see? There are military camps stationed in front of you as far as the eye can see. Those are the main camps of our troops stationed on the border, where General Xiang is located!" Zhe Shu said excitedly: "I finally got to see him in person. It's really cool when I think about it.
I’m a little excited!”
Jingcun responded calmly: "What's the matter? You worship him so much now, but you will often see his face in the future. We still don't know what kind of person he is. If you like him, he will naturally
Give you the good look you want. If you displease him, he will deal with you. Will you be excited by then?"
Zhe Shu was so enthusiastic that he was suddenly splashed with cold water. He curled his lips and felt bored. He turned around and looked around. Riding behind him was He Lanlan.
Zheshu locked a new target and slowed down to walk side by side with Helanlan. The journey was boring, so Zheshu suddenly made up his mind and wanted to get acquainted with his future colleagues first. So he asked Helanlan: "No.
During the second competition, I was fortunate enough to see Brother Helan's grace on the field, which was really admirable. Thinking back to the past family competitions, I have not seen Brother Helan several times. You have always been at Lanze Camp before.
Is it in there?”
Guan Jiyu, who was walking in front, knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd as soon as he heard what he asked.
Zheshu was so obsessed with these hearsay gossips that he must have wanted to find out more about He Lanlan's past through insinuations!
"Although Lanze Camp is indeed a family camp established under my Helan family, I am not from Lanze Camp." He Lanlan did not avoid his question, but responded to it generously.
"Oh? What did you do before?" Zhe Shu's question went one step further.
He Lanlan glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't do anything. I sleep until three o'clock in the morning and don't get up until three o'clock in the morning. I'm just an ordinary dude."
"Ahem." Guan Jiyu pretended to cough twice. She was worried that if Zhe Shu continued to ask questions, He Lanlan would not always be in a good mood. She opened her mouth to try to change the embarrassing topic and said: "Besides the concentration camp life,
The assessment is inevitably a bit boring. I never saw Brother Helan coming when I was practicing on the school field. I wonder how you passed the time?"
He Lanlan narrowed his eyes. This topic seemed to make him feel very happy. He held the horse rope with one hand, took out the water bottle with one hand and took a few sips, and said: "I said I was looking for a woman to entertain myself."
