In the early morning, there are no golden roosters crowing, birds singing and flowers fragrant, only the neighing of horses one after another. The smell of horse manure and the aroma of vegetable porridge are mixed in the air, forming a strange smell.
Wu Gen woke up from his deep sleep and rubbed his slightly swollen eyes.
Last night, Murong Yuqiang sent him a secret message, telling him about the military meeting in the small tent and reminding him to be careful of the Lu family attacking him.
But Wu Gen has nothing to worry about. As long as he returns to the Fearless Army, he will find a way to get rid of Lu Ben. All in all, I have to thank Bu Kuan for this. If he hadn't warned Lu Lie, he would have been detained in the camp as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with the Northern Army.
From this, a glimmer of hope arose in Wu Gen's heart, thinking that the second letter would arrive, or that Bu Kuan would directly summon him, but until late at night, there was still no movement, so he had to fall asleep. It seems that Bu Qiyin's line has not been worked out. He does not regard himself as an important role, at least for now.
Wu Gen walked out of the tent, stretched out a lot, washed up hastily, had a meal with others, and then had nothing to do. No one was looking for him, and he didn't know who to look for. Lu Ben had already stuck to Lu Lie's side, and there was no one he knew around.
Near noon, Lu Lie summoned him to the tent.
As soon as they entered the tent, there were not many people inside. Only Lu Lie and Bu Guan were accompanied by a few close people. Lu Ben was busy running around, serving tea and water to Lu Lie, grinding and washing pens. People came in and out from time to time to report something, but no one paid attention to this small human family. 33
Lu Ben looked at him, but did not make a sound, leaving Wu Gen to stand awkwardly in the tent, avoiding the people coming and going, the pride and teasing in his eyes could not be concealed.
Finally, Lu Lie finished handling what he was doing, and then he looked up and saw Wu Gen, frowning, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Gen was also confused. Didn't you ask me to come? Lu Ben coughed at the side and reminded in a low voice: "Young Master, the appointment and dismissal of the Fearless Army..."
"Oh." Lu Lie woke up from his dream and reached out to pick up the tea bowl and took a sip. "These days I am busy with military affairs, so I am a little dizzy. Wu Gen, from today on, Lu Ben will be the governor of the Fearless Army, and will be the commander-in-chief of the army. Matters, if anything happens to the Fearless Army in the future, you must report it to the governor, I understand."
Wu Gen looked stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Lu Lie's gloomy face, he had to reluctantly accept.
Lu Lie glanced at Lu Ben beside him, "Wu Gen, when this war is over, I will definitely fulfill my promise, please rest assured.
Your fearless army is alone outside. These days, you must strictly abide by Governor Lu's military orders. He is the leader in everything and you are not allowed to act without authorization. Your main task there is to monitor other families who may support the Ji family in the north, and attack at the right time. If you really can't withstand it, you might as well retreat to the direction of the main camp. "After saying that, Lu Lie turned around and went about his other things, completely ignoring Wu Gen's reaction.
"As ordered." Wu Gen agreed and walked out with a depressed expression.
When they arrived outside the tent, Lu Ben chased after him, "Wu Qianhu, after the military meeting tomorrow, the two of us will quickly return to the Fearless Army and shrink the team back to Mao'er Ridge. It's really a bit self-conscious for me to go forward with three thousand troops alone. Not measuring up to one’s capabilities.”
Wu Gen blinked and said with some confusion: "Aren't we going north to support the army? The head of the family asked us to prepare for the support."
"No need." Lu Ben categorically objected, with a hint of impatience on his face, "Now that the young master is in charge, he will naturally follow the new military orders. Three thousand men and horses can't even make a splash against a large army. You can't do anything in the past two days." Don't wander around, there will be a military meeting tomorrow and you need to attend."
Wu Gen agreed, turned around and walked towards his tent. Lu Ben looked at his back, snorted softly, and returned to the tent with a sneer on his face.
Sitting in the tent until noon, suddenly there was the sound of horses neighing outside. Out of curiosity, Wu Gen opened the curtain of the tent and stuck his head out to look outside.
A carriage drove into the camp under the escort of heavy riders. When the carriage stopped, a maid opened the curtain and bowed to wait beside it. A smooth jade-like foot stretched out, followed by a face that looked like a child's. Such a scene naturally attracted the gazes of countless wolves and tigers in the camp.
Bu Qiyin slowly stepped out of the car, turning a blind eye to the scorching gazes around him, and walked up to the big tent at the back.
After just two steps, Bu Qiyin suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look at an inconspicuous small tent somewhere. In front of the tent, there was a big face gesturing stupidly at him.
Without saying a word, Bu Qiyin walked towards Wu Gen. This move shocked Wu Gen, and he quickly waved his hands. Originally he just wanted to let the other party know that he was here, but he didn't expect Bu Qiyin to walk over so openly.
It was too late to hide. Under the scorching gaze, Bu Qiyin came to Wu Gen. He tilted his head and looked for a long time, then stretched his hand towards Wu Gen's face.
"Stop, are you trying to kill me?" Wu Gen scolded in a low voice. This woman had an old habit and wanted to touch her own bones again.
Bu Qiyin was slightly startled and took his hand back in dismay, with a look of reluctance on his face. Suddenly, the person stretched out his finger and quickly tapped Wu Gen's forehead, and then showed a proud smile, as if I just touched you, what can you do to me.
Wu Gen lowered his head in shame and secretly decided to bring a copy of the Women's Guide to Kuntianzhou to let this guy know the rules of men and women not being intimate.
"Ye Ziming has told you what to say if it's a divination in the military." Wu Gen asked in a low voice.
"I know." Bu Qiyin nodded.
"By the way, give me a nice word and let me return to the Fearless Army as soon as possible." Wu Gen was a little worried that Lu Lie would detain him.
"Okay." Bu Qiyin kept speaking simply, turned around and walked towards the tent. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Zi Ming said you look like a monkey, but why do I think you look like a dog now?"
Wu Gen's face suddenly darkened, and just as he was about to retort, the other party had already left briskly.
Early the next morning, Wu Gen was awakened from his sweet dream. There was already a noise outside the tent.
"Do these people have any sense of public morality? Wrinkles will appear if you don't sleep well." Wu Gen muttered and got up.
The door was pushed open violently, and Lu Ben rushed in hurriedly, "Wu Gen, hurry up and go to the military tent. There is a meeting in the army." After saying this, he pulled Wu Gen and rushed to the big tent.
As soon as they entered the big tent, it was already full of people. Lu Lie sat behind the commander's desk and glared at Wu Gen fiercely, "Thousands of households in the army are here, why are you the only one who hasn't arrived? How can you behave like this?"
Wu Gen was stunned, he didn't know what to discuss. Suddenly, something dawned on him, and he turned to look at Lu Bi, who was bowing his head and saying nothing. It turned out that this kid didn't inform him, but at this moment, he was cowardly and didn't dare to defend himself. Apparently, he might have left it out on purpose so that he could make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Lu Lie slammed the table and was about to get angry when Bu Kuan beside him coughed lightly. Fang Qiang suppressed his anger and said, "You must not be late again in the future, otherwise you will be punished by military law."
Wu Gen smiled slightly and nodded to Lu Ben beside him.
Murong Yuqiang, who was sitting at the top, frowned when she saw this scene, but did not make a sound.
Wu Gen sat in his seat, looked around, and suddenly found that there were a few more chairs near Shuai's case. It seemed that someone of high status should be here today.
After waiting for a moment, a guard came running in from outside to report that someone had arrived.
Lu Lie immediately beamed when he heard this, and said to the nearby people: "Everyone, we might as well go and greet the new allies. With the two of them here, it can be said that the dispatch of troops this time is quite safe."
Bahong and Qiu Linhe looked at each other and saw that the other person also had a blank look on his face, so his eyes became more wary. Lu Lie actually contacted others without telling several people, and he did so secretly, which made several young masters secretly complain.
Lu Lie took several young masters and the governor with him and strode out, while the others stayed in the tent and waited.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the tent, and everyone was guessing who this new ally was, which made Lu Lie so excited. The war is about to begin, and if we can get this strong support, our chances of winning will be much greater.
Over the years, the Ji family has been like a towering mountain, weighing on the hearts of various families. Now that the mountains were about to fall, the tent was filled with a morbid excitement. It's just that despite the excitement, everyone's eyes are a little gloomy. After all, the Ji family has led the Iron Hand Province for many years and has accumulated a lot of power. Facing such an opponent, everyone feels a little uneasy.
"Wu Gen, all the young masters are here in the big tent. You should pay attention to the etiquette to prevent our Lu family from being laughed at." Seeing Wu Gen pulling his neck and looking outside the tent, Lu Bi couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart and whispered. One sentence.
Wu Gen glanced at the other party lightly, but did not retort as usual. Instead, he shrank his seat back and was surrounded by the noise.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came, and the tent gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the door.
Outside the tent, Lu Lie accompanied the two people in with a big smile, "Brother Gu and Brother Cang, you two traveled all night, worked so hard, and attended the military meeting without taking a break, it really puts me to shame."
"The situation is urgent. If we don't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place." came a gentle voice, which sounded like that of a refined young man.
Wu Gen, who was huddled in the dark, changed his expression suddenly and stared at the person who came in. It was an acquaintance who came, it was Gu Yangsi, the young master of the Gu family, and Cang Yi was following him.
Seeing him getting close to Lu Lie, Wu Gen sighed quietly. The two of them must have had a private relationship with each other for a long time. It's a pity that he and Ji Ye still regarded him as a possible foreign aid, but they didn't expect that he had already changed their minds.
Gu Yangsi walked towards the hall while talking and laughing. Suddenly, he felt some malice coming towards him. He turned around and saw Wu Gen with a complicated expression.
Gu Yangsi paused briefly, with a smile on his face. He walked up to Wu Gen, bowed his hands and said, "Brother Wu, we meet again."
Wu Gen shook his head, stood up from his seat, and sighed: "I never thought that you and I would meet again here. I thought we would meet each other on the battlefield. Things are unpredictable. I don't know if Ji Ye will see him again. Do you and I feel that we are not kind to others?"
Guyang Si smiled faintly, "Brother Wu, what you said is wrong. If I were just Guyang Si, I would have become as close as a golden orchid with Ji Ye, and we would have achieved a wonderful story of breezy friendship. But I am still the young master of the Gu family, so I have to give up. To find a way out for the family, we have to find a way out for our family. At our level, all the feelings of brotherhood and friendship have to be compromised for the sake of the family."
"The Gu family and the Cang family have already formed an alliance with our Lu family, advancing and retreating together, and sharing the same fate. As for Ji Ye, it's just a matter of compromise." Lu Lie looked around and said loudly, feeling very proud, "And this time the two of them are each We have brought 20,000 elite soldiers, and we are sure of victory against the Ji family. Brother Gu, Brother Cang, please take a seat."
Several people walked to Shuai An and exchanged some excuses before Lu Lie sat down.
"Everyone, the secrets have been revealed in the past two days. Ji Ye has returned to Hanlu City, and there are signs of mobilization of the Northern and Southern armies. But there is still no news from Zhaoqin City. But these days, some people have seen the convoy. We are transporting a large amount of medicinal herbs to the city, and someone should be injured."
Speaking of this, Lu Lie gritted his teeth and said: "The Ji family is so ambitious that they have taken action against various families. I am afraid that the next step is to wipe out each family. Everyone, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we will only end up being killed."
Bang, Gu Yangsi opened his folding fan, looked around and said loudly: "Nowadays, there are rumors in every family that the head of the family has been killed or imprisoned by the Ji family. Next, taking advantage of the chaos in each family, the Ji family is preparing to Convince each family to accept the restructuring.
I think of each of my thousands of households, which of them didn’t have our ancestors risking their lives and dying many sons to build this foundation? If the Ji family wants to take away our roots, we should not sit back and wait for death. We must repay the debt with blood and go straight to Hanlu City to protect our ancestors' food and avenge the death of the family leader. "
The two people's generous words immediately aroused everyone's emotions, and they all raised their arms and shouted for revenge. Only Murong Yuqiang and Ba Hong, who were sitting nearby, looked a little solemn.
Some people died, but not completely...
