After getting close to the white feather jackdaw for a while, before Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng set out to the north again, a group of black cavalry appeared on the northwest horizon. They were running rapidly in their direction. The black line surprised both of them.
At such a long distance, they could not see the soldiers' armor or the flag clearly. Their first reaction was the enemy. However, they immediately thought that the crazy lion army had been annihilated. Qiu Ao, the commander of the crazy Lion War, and Qiu lie, their son, saw with their own eyes that they had died in xiyuanze. The vast area north of Huangyanjiang river had been owned by Daqian, so it was impossible for the enemy to appear again.
And even the enemy, where they are now, is open on all sides. There is only a few meters high hill beside them, and there are only a few sparse and bare trees on it. There is no place to hide. It is impossible for them to be the opponents of cavalry just by running on two legs. With their current accomplishments, they may break out faster in a short period of time than a mount that is good at speed like the wind beast. However, it is absolutely impossible for them to beat four legs by two legs in the wilderness.
"Zhe ~ zhe ~"
The white jackdaw looked at the cavalry in the distance and suddenly called twice. Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were relieved to hear the call. The white feather jackdaw is extremely intelligent. It is a rare aerial reconnaissance. Dongya is the best among them. Although she can't speak and can't transmit the sound of spirits, she has learned the eagle dance and warning sound to convey the news for a long time. These two calls are bright and transparent, which means that the coming one is not the enemy.
After two calls, the white jackdaw suddenly soared up and circled over the mound where Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were, just like sending a message to the cavalry in the distance.
"The Jackdaw is over there." He Tao, who controls the galloping horse, hears the sound and sees the white spots in the sky in the distance at a glance. He looks happy and shouts.
In such an endless grassland, although the speed of the spiral horned horse and the gale can't compare with that of the white jackdaw in the air, when the mount speed is raised, it is also extremely fast. The so-called "traveling thousands of miles a day and walking 800 miles at night" means that they have the spiral horned horse and the gale as the mount cavalry.
"I see a shadow on the hill. There are people there. Let's go and have a look." Cheng Yuan's loud voice also rang out in the team.
"Flag officer, flag exhibition." Feng Yang, who is the most careful, suddenly gave a big drink. The reason why he did this was that among the six countries to the east of Shahai and bugui mountain, only Dagan's flag was red. If it were Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, they would be exhausted and might be injured. Seeing so many unknown cavalry coming suddenly, they would be hurt again in case of fright, It's their sin.
Hula~
When the flag officer heard that Yan untied the cloth cover of the flag and threw it into the air, two red flags suddenly spread out in the middle of the galloping cavalry, and the wind made the flag surface roar. These two sides were not the flags of the badminton army and the fast wind army, but the camp atmosphere of the badminton scouting camp and the fast wind Qingqi. On the flag surface, a fire bathing Phoenix spread its wings in the wind, under the wings of the fire bathing Phoenix, A thread wildebeest is embroidered on one flag, and a gale is embroidered on the other.
"It's Da Qian's army." Gu Qingcheng said happily that although the design on the flag is still unclear, the red flag can't be wrong. No country uses such a color flag except Daqian, which is a country founded by fire and symbolized by Phoenix.
"It's just that I don't know who's coming. There should be more than 1000 cavalry. It doesn't look like a patrol." Although I can't see the details clearly, Lu can still judge the specific number of cavalry. He just wondered why there were so many cavalry here.
"Ouo ~" the white wolf king suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, rolling towards the distance of the grassland.
"It's the general and the division. Speed up and get there." The three men who took the lead were not surprised but happy when they heard the wolf howling.
Although he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan didn't spend a long time together, they could still recognize that it was the voice of the white wolf king. Whether it was the battle of Danshui, the battle of hexingyuan, or pretending that the tide of beasts had dragged Qiu lie and his army of wild lions day and night, the white wolf king and his wolves would have made great contributions, if the white wolf king was alone, The reward he will receive this time will be higher than the three of them.
"It's He Tao." Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng also look at each other and smile.
The white wolf king is a mysterious spirit beast. Whether it is a swift wind beast, a loyal and gentle spiral wildebeest, or a thunder beast running like thunder, even if it is trained, it will be affected by the spirit beast breath of the white wolf king. Under the roar of the white wolf king, only the Yulin scouting camp and Feng Yang, who once fought with it, will not be affected at all Cheng Yuan led the two battalions to ride in the wind.
When the cavalry team approached, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were shocked by the Phoenix flag in front of the team. The flag represented their country, their home and the peak military force of the qingmuyan people. It was the existence that every big cadre would defend to the death even if he lost the last drop of blood.
"See a general or a military adviser for a humble position." When they came near, they saw that the people on the mound were Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. They were all very happy. They turned over and dismounted. They came to Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng at the same time, but they didn't care about the armor. They held their hands and knelt down on one knee.
"See general, military division." More than 1000 troops of the Yulin scouting camp and the cavalry of the Fengfeng Qingqi also got off their mounts one after another and bowed to the ground. Every face showed a happy smile, they finally found their generals and military advisers, they finally can not be looked down upon by their colleagues, the young man who has already become a backer in their heart, finally came back.
Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are in a trance when they look at the hula-a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-.
"What are you doing? Get up." When he comes back to his senses, Gu Qingcheng frowns. Zhen Yuan moves slightly in his body and reaches out his hand. Before he Tao, Cheng Yuan and Feng Yang can react, he is lifted up by an invisible wave.
"I don't advocate kneeling ceremony in Daqian. Your etiquette is to kneel and worship the emperors. I can't afford it. Get up." Lu Que's voice is not big, but clearly spread to everyone's ears.
Lu que naturally understood Gu Qingcheng's meaning. Da Qian's etiquette had its own rules. Both of them came from the door of the Duke of the state, so naturally they were extremely cautious about these. Besides, these people are all his bloody comrades. He was very unaccustomed to such a big ceremony at the first meeting.
"General, commander, we have found you." The three want to follow Lu que, more or less utilitarian, but more importantly, they really admire this young man who is nearly ten years younger than them. Although they haven't been together for a long time, they really respect Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. They look at Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng standing in front of them, The eyes of the three veterans, who have survived countless battles, are shining.
"What are we doing? We're fine. It's not humiliating to be so grown-ups. We're all holding back." Lu lack see three people's facial expression, don't have good spirit of say.
Hearing Lu Que's almost scolding words, the three of them looked at each other. They all scratched their heads awkwardly and giggled.
"Why are you here with so many cavalry? Are you looking for us?" Gu Qingcheng suddenly asked.
"Since the war of xiaoqingshan, my brothers have been searching outside xiyuanze every day, waiting for the return of the general and the military division." Feng Yang said.
"Nonsense, soldiers are the important weapons of our country. How can we waste our troops because of us two?" Gu Qingcheng scolded, but a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. Her father was a military prime minister, her aunt was the deputy commander of Fengxiang army, and her brother also worked in the army. Naturally, they were not unfamiliar with the rules of the army. They were able to search outside xiyuanze for several months under pressure, which showed that they were really people of love and righteousness.
"What time is it?" Knowing that Gu Qingcheng was insincere, Lu que shook his head with a smile and looked at the three people and asked.
"If you go back to the general, it will be late February in two days." He Tao and Gu Qingcheng have known each other for the longest time. Knowing that she didn't blame them, he said with a smile.
"So long?" Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng look at each other with emotion.
They left the imperial capital at the end of October after the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, it was almost four months later. When they thought about what happened in these four months, especially the forced breakthrough in Jitu hall with Lei Yin forging, they suddenly felt that it was not true.
Thinking of their parents, relatives and old friends in the imperial capital, they both have the idea of flying back to the capital.
"Do you have a pen and paper?" Lu que asked suddenly.
"Yes, yes." Feng Yang quickly took out two pieces of white silk with dark embroidery from his arms, and also took out a charcoal pen from his arms. This was an urgent credit in the army of Da Qian. In particular, the dark embroidery on the silk was slightly different from each battalion, but not familiar people could not find it.
Lu que took the silk and gave it to Gu Qingcheng. He took a charcoal pen and wanted to write something to his parents in the imperial capital. However, the charcoal pen hung on the silk for a long time, but some of them didn't know what to write. After thinking for a long time, Lu que took a deep breath and wrote on the silk: "I have returned. I will return to Beijing in March. Please punish me face-to-face. My unfilial son, Lu que."
After writing, Lu que folded the silk and handed the charcoal to Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng spread the silk on his left hand and wrote a few words on it with his right hand. After folding it, he took Lu Qian's share and put it into the bamboo tube on the leg of the white jackdaw. He touched the feather on the white Jackdaw and said, "take two letters back to Beijing."
The white feather jackdaw looked at Gu Qingcheng and Lu que, who was standing on one side. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but he still nodded, and his wings shook and he flew to the north.
Seeing the white jackdaw flying away, Lu que said, "you also send people to deliver the news to Wei Shuai and Shen Shuai."
"No The three arched their hands and looked at each other. Feng Yang turned to arrange it.
At this time, a loud grunt came from the belly of the white wolf king. Lu que said again, "where is your camp? Sister Qingcheng and I have not eaten for some time."
"The three of us are stationed in three directions of xiyuanze. The nearest one is Laocheng's camp. First, we go there to cook a bowl of porridge to warm the stomach of the general and the army." When he Tao patted his forehead, he secretly scolded himself for his negligence. It was lucky for the general and the military division to get out of the xiyuanze. It must have been a bad time to eat and sleep. However, when he Tao looked at Lu Que's and Gu Qingcheng's faces again, he found that both of them had glossy skin and ruddy complexion. He could not help but wonder that their complexion seemed better than before.
"Go to captain Cheng first." Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng both nodded with a smile. As soon as they came out of xiyuanze, they met these people. They were very happy.
"Captain Cheng, why don't you talk all the time, but don't you welcome us?" Gu Qingcheng looks at Cheng Yuan with an excited face, but she doesn't say a word from the meeting. She knows that Cheng Yuan is not good at words, so she says it on purpose.
"No, no, no, welcome. Welcome naturally. You know my old Cheng is clumsy. When I see the general and the military adviser can come back safely, I don't know what to say." Cheng Yuan scratched his head and took a careful look at Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. He found that they were not unhappy and said with a smile, "the military adviser may not know that I am no longer a captain, but I am a valiant general now."
"Yo, I've been promoted. General Xiaoqi has been in the sixth grade military, but he's not inferior in the military."
"Haha, thanks to the general and the military adviser, all three of us have been promoted to a higher level." Cheng Yuan rubbed his hands and said with a silly smile.
There are several ranks in the Daqian army that are difficult to cross. The first is from Uncle commander to Du Wei, the second is from school captain to general, and the third is from general to commander. Now the three can enter the general level by virtue of their military achievements in the southern expedition. Although their ranks are not high, as long as they don't make mistakes in the future, they will have a bright future.
"The general and the division are still hungry. Go to your camp first." He Tao pulls Cheng Yuan's armor and whispers.
"Yes, general, division, please."
When Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng walked down the hill, Feng Yang, who arranged for the messenger to report to the two military commanders, came with two threaded wildebeests. When they saw the two threaded wildebeests, they were very happy because they had ridden them when they went south. At the beginning, they felt that there was a chase behind the white wolf king. Lu que wrote down the battle plan in a hurry and asked the two threaded wildebeests to take back to He Tao.
At this time, the saddles on the horse's back were complete, and both of them could not help praising. Feng Yang was really a kind-hearted man. After caressing the mane on the horse's back for a while, they turned over and got on the horse. Under the guidance of Cheng Yuan, they galloped toward the camp dozens of miles away.
It was already night.
After dinner, the soldiers who had been busy for a whole day went to sleep. White wolf king rushed out of the camp after he had enough to eat. He said that he wanted to find the wolves before. Now only Lu que, Gu Qingcheng, he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan sat around the fire in the middle of the camp chatting. A few months later, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng naturally had many things to ask them, Whether it's the battle of xiaoqingshan, or the subsequent Southern defense, or what happened to the emperor after the two disappeared.
In fact, he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan want to hear more about Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng in xiyuanze. They know that there are mainland Jedi who can't get in and out of xiyuanze. They have been searching outside xiyuanze for several months, but they just hope to do their best to listen to the destiny. They didn't expect that they could come out intact. They are really curious, but because of their identities, But I didn't ask.
When Lu que heard that he had been granted the title of Ziji Yuwei deputy commander, guanzhizheng Sanpin, and Gu Qingcheng had also been granted the title of Fengxiang left army general from Sanpin, and even got a title of Yanling Marquis, he was stunned.
Even though Lu que had been prepared, he didn't expect that his emperor's uncle would spare no effort to push him to the top. This is the first time in more than two hundred years since the 16-year-old Sanpin commander established the country. Even though he has made great achievements in the South war, Lu que is still a little surprised that he suddenly rose to such a position.
Gu Qingcheng was also named the Marquis of Yanling. You should know that this is not the Marquis of the pavilion, the Marquis of the countryside, or the Marquis of the county, but the Marquis of the county. In Daqian's titles, except for the royal title, it is only under the Duke of the state and the thirty-six civil and military marquis. How many old generals who have fought all their lives do not have such titles until they die.
As for Gu Qingcheng, the left Army General of Fengxiang army, Lu que doesn't care. Gu Qingcheng's aunt Gu Jieyun is the deputy commander of Fengxiang army, and Lu que knows that her mother has planned to hand over Fengxiang army to her cousin Yu Tianxiang. Then Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi, the older generation, are likely to take charge of the overall planning in the outer Pavilion, or take a casual job, Now Gu Qingcheng enters Fengxiang army, and his mother is already paving the way for his cousin Yu Tianxiang.
In Daqian's twelve legions, the Changqing army and Fengxiang army were directly controlled by the royal family. The commander of the Changqing army was the Emperor himself. Even Lu Chun could only serve as a commander in chief. The commander-in-chief of Fengxiang army was also held by royal children. However, a hundred years ago, most of them were royal princesses. Gu Qingcheng was Yu Tianxiang's close friend and schoolmate. When she entered the position of Gu Jieyun replaced by Fengxiang army, neither courtiers nor Gu family would say anything more, which would help Yu Tianxiang grasp the power of Fengxiang army more quickly.
"General, there's another thing about you and Mr. Gu."
He Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan look at each other. Their faces look strange. They seem to have something to say, but they don't know how to speak.
"If you have something to say, don't stammer." Gu Qingcheng threw a piece of dry wood into the fire and said
Both He Tao and Feng Yang pushed Cheng Yuan behind his back and motioned for him to speak. The corner of Cheng Yuan's mouth twitched for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has made it clear that the general will marry him."
"Ah?"
