It seemed that He Lanlan didn't talk much on weekdays, but he said such explosive words in just two sentences. Guan Jiyu opened his mouth in shock and stared at him blankly. He could only take a closer look at his expression to judge.
Is he kidding?
His face was still pale and clear, and it was really difficult to tell the truth from the lie.
She laughed awkwardly and said: "Haha, Brother Helan, are you kidding?"
Zhe Shu looked at Guan Jiyu, then at He Lanlan, and said, "That's right, there is a limit to your joking, right? The concentration camp is heavily guarded, how can you bring a girl in for fun?"
He Lanlan continued to drink water, but smiled and said nothing.
Guan Jiyu, however, had a serious look on his face and whispered: "Brother Helan, if you are bored on the way, you can tell these jokes to make fun of you. When we arrive at the border camp, you must never say these again. If others hear you,
If you go, be careful of being dragged to court-martial by the general."
"I didn't take the initiative to say it." He tightened the kettle lid and put it back in his bag, and said calmly: "I only said it because you asked."
The embarrassment on Guan Jiyu's face became more obvious. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and muttered to himself: You must not talk to this person next time.
"Let's go, I don't usually see you talking so much nonsense." Jiang Yingnian kept walking at the front of the team in silence. At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker. He looked back at the people who were talking with an impatient look.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on Guan Jiyu.
Guan Jiyu felt a sense of injustice in his heart. There were so many people talking, not to mention that it was not her who started.
Jingcun followed Jiang Yingnian. When he saw this, he turned back and called: "Ayu, follow quickly."
Everyone finally arrived at the northern border camp successfully as night fell.
Chen Zhang took the roster of personnel and the list of accompanying military supplies handed over by Guan Jiyu, and immediately ordered people to go and count them. He looked at the eight people in front of him, and first introduced himself: "I am Chen Zhang, the Zhang of the article. I am Xiang.
The deputy general of the main army under the general." Then he said warmly: "From now on, the important task of guarding the border will have to be shouldered by young people like you! You are all selected from the major families. The border area is extremely bitter and cold, so naturally and
Your usual living environment cannot be compared. But now that you are here, make peace with it. I hope you will adapt to everything here as soon as possible. I very much look forward to your achievements. You go to have dinner first, and the general will come to see you later.
"
As soon as Chen Zhang finished speaking, a soldier outside shouted loudly: "Report——"
He heard the voice and responded: "Come in and report, why are you so nervous?"
The soldier walked in quickly, but he looked panicked. After looking at the important task, he walked up and whispered a few words to Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Does the general know?"
The soldier who came to report calmed his voice and said: "The general is still resting, and my subordinates dare not disturb him rashly. I can only report to General Chen first!"
Chen Zhang's face had already turned livid, and he ran straight to Xiang Ju'an's camp without saying anything.
Seeing this, Zhe Shu hurriedly asked Jingcun: "Hey! What's going on? Look at General Chen. He was fine just now, but why did his face suddenly become so bad? For those who don't know, he thought he was attacked by enemy troops.
"
Everyone was confused, but they could only follow Chen Zhang's instructions and go and settle dinner first.
Guan Jiyu felt vaguely uneasy. It was just her first night in the camp, but the situation here was not as she imagined. General Chen obviously hadn't finished speaking yet. What could make his face suddenly turn cold?
?
Those who had just arrived all walked to the outside of the tent and sat cross-legged around the fire. The aroma of rice was already wafting from the rice cooked on the fire rack. Guan Jiyu broke off the steamed buns in his hands and was not in the mood to eat anymore at this moment.
Just as they were thinking about these things, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Someone was approaching them, and the haste in their steps could be heard from a distance.
People who hear it can't help but feel their heart beat faster.
It was Chen Zhang. He strode over, with something clearly suppressed in his voice, and said: "I have some bad news that I must tell everyone. In the past two months, the Guyi Army has attacked twenty miles in front of my camp several times.
Zeyun Pass is located at Zeyun Pass, which is an important place on our border. This move by the Guyi Army obviously poses a great threat to our border with North Korea."
He took a deep breath and continued: "Guyi's army was extremely cunning. They knew that Zeyun Pass would be difficult to capture in a short period of time, so they took a long way around and attacked silently from the Hansha Canal west of Zeyung Pass.
It is really despicable to distract the main force of our army. I am telling you this now just to tell you that the situation at the border is serious. General Xiang has already led his troops to Zeyun Pass. You few have no combat experience, so just be careful
Stay in the garrison camp, no matter what happens, never leave the garrison camp!"
After that, he hurriedly left. The soldiers in the main camp sounded the alarm and moved out their combat equipment, always waiting for orders to be dispatched.
After hearing these words, Jiang Yingnian bit off the last piece of steamed bun in his hand, patted the residue in his hand and said: "Although Zeyun Pass is the main defense area, what is it right now, oh yes, it is a dry sand ditch.
The area of Hansha Canal should not be underestimated. Their move is not necessarily harassment, maybe they are dividing the troops into two groups to attack from the front and back."
"Who knows? Anyway, General Chen asked us not to run around, so we just have to listen to him." Zheshu usually eats a lot of food, but he has no intention of eating anymore at this moment. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, his face full of worry.
Everyone was silent.
The reinforcements that came with them from the General Mansion concentration camp were all arranged by Chen Zhang to follow Xiang Lincheng to Zeyunguan to defend the enemy. Apart from the defensive soldiers left in the original camp, there were only eight of them left here.
There were only eight of them, sitting around the fire, waiting quietly for dawn.
"That's unreasonable!" Xu Shi really couldn't stand the long and endless wait. Yu Shan from the Beiqi camp finally couldn't help but dropped the chopsticks in his hands and said angrily: "General Xiang is fighting hard on the battlefield to resist the foreign enemies, and I
It’s really ridiculous that a tall and dignified man with no blood in his body can only sit here and wait, it’s really ridiculous!”
The people in the Beiqi camp were all straightforward and courageous that are unique to northern men. When they heard this, they all said: "Yes, we are called here just to assist the general in resisting the enemy. How can we say that we are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Hearing this, Zhe Shu said helplessly: "We don't even have a map now, so we don't know anything about this place. Even if we want to go out to help now, when we walk out of the camp, our eyes will be blank. A place like Hanshaqu can't be heard.
It's a desolate place where birds don't poop, isn't it obvious that we are going to die if we go there?"
Yu Shan glanced at Zhe Shu with contempt, snorted coldly, and sneered with disdain: "We Beizhong men are never afraid of death."
It’s this arrogance unique to Zibeizhong people again!
They have always looked down upon the wealth and elegance of the imperial clan in the capital, and they have also looked down upon the comfort and enjoyment of the misty and rainy land in the south.
The entire Xuli Dynasty has been in turmoil for years, and the northern border has been constantly provoked. They have never experienced these crises. Only Beizhong people can personally understand the severe situation in the north.
Hearing this, He Lanlan said indifferently: "No one is greedy for life and fear of death. It's just that before General Chen comes back, we'd better guard the main camp of the army. This is our home base. As long as we stick to it
Here, we don’t have to worry too much about Zeyunguan. General Xiang is there, so we should trust him. If we can’t defend this place well, how can we help the general?”
Seeing him come out and say something fair, Guan Jiyu couldn't help but echoed: "That's right, since we came out of the selection camp together, there shouldn't be any differences between north and south, or geographical differences. Each of us is different.
People of the Li Dynasty, we all have exactly the same heart when it comes to the chaos at the border! Just wait, wait a little longer, there will always be an answer at dawn!"
They would never have imagined that the first night they arrived at the border gate would be such a difficult situation. Everyone was awake. The fire in front of them was burning and jumping, just like everyone's state of mind that night, beating and restless.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough.
They had not yet had time to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the border and the progress of the war, so they were forced into this panic, emergency and confusion without any preparation.
The cold night was long, and I didn't know how long I waited before I saw a group of people in the distance.
Not only Guan Jiyu, but almost everyone watched the returning team approaching, passing by, and then returning to their respective camps with their breath held high.
The person walking at the front had battle-hardened blood and ruthlessness that could be felt even from a distance. He held his iron helmet in one hand and strode forward. The blood stains on the bandage on his forehead had long dried up.
.
Those red bloodshot eyes, although showing exhaustion, were still piercing. He never looked at them from beginning to end. He only listened when General Chen, who was walking beside him, said a few words to him.
He listened but did not make any attitude.
He never looked away, as if nothing in the world had ever caught his eye, and nothing could attract him.
Even though his face is calm, he feels calm and confident.
When he passed by several of them, Guan Jiyu could even smell the blood on his armor.
The smell made her heart tighten.
Was he injured? Is the blood his own or the enemy's?
What she can be sure of is that this must be the famous Hussar General Xiang Ju'an.
Although he and Xiang Lincheng were biological brothers, they looked nothing alike. Guan Jiyu only saw the badge hanging on his waist - a waist badge with a cloud pattern and wolf emblem unique to Xiang Military Camp in Beizhong.
There is no trace of gentleness on Xiang Juan's face that makes people get close to him. He has a majestic temperament, rough and dark skin, and from head to toe, he clearly has three words - a real man.
In fact, Jiang Yingnian did look up at him as he passed by, then slowly came back to his senses and murmured softly: "This is a real man."
Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they only dared to look at him secretly. If those eyes came up, no one would dare to look at him.
Zhe Shu swallowed his saliva and did not dare to breathe. After a long time, he asked: "That must be Xiang Ju'an, General Xiang is right! He walked so fast, did you see his expression clearly? You guys
Tell me, with that expression on his face, does it count as a victory or a defeat?"
Jingcun shook his head and said: "There is no way to judge. A man like this king will be proud all his life. No matter he wins or loses, you can't tell anything from his face."
