Chapter 250

In the low mountain hundreds of miles east of Heyan City, a simple temporary military camp is located here. In the middle of the camp, the bloody Phoenix flag, which belongs to the Fengxiang army, is fluttering slightly in the evening wind. Next to the Fengxiang army flag, there is a general flag which is only a circle smaller than the bloody Phoenix flag. On the flag is written a huge Gu character. This army is staying here for the time being, It was under the leadership of Gu Qingcheng that ten thousand Fengxiang yunqi marched to Guangji estuary.

At this time, a man wearing the armor of general Daqian Sipin was anxiously looking for something in the temporary camp. This man is the general of this camp, Gu Qingcheng's cousin, and Gu qianxiao, the son of Gu Huaiyi, the commander of zuoyaowei who guards Qingquan city.

"See the deputy?" Gu qianxiao asked a cloud riding captain who was leading the patrol in the camp.

"Deputy commander?" That person hears speech a Leng, some don't feel a brain of say "general, the deputy commander isn't to arrange after finishing camp, return account rest?"

Gu qianxiao frowned, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "forget it, you continue to patrol." With that, Gu qianxiao was about to leave, but he stopped after two steps and said, "now we are still in Heyan County, and there are still Tianxing soldiers stationed in several nearby counties. Please tell the brothers who are watching the night to wake up. We can't be exploited."

After hearing this, the captain said, "don't worry, general. We all know it in our hearts. What's more, don't we have a wolf patrol outside the camp? There will be no problem

"That's good." Gu qianxiao nodded his head and turned to the gate of the camp.

The captain looked at Gu qianxiao's back and scratched his head. "How can the general find the deputy commander at this time? Isn't the deputy commander in the camp at this time?"

At this time, Gu Qingcheng was on a side hundreds of meters away from the camp. She only looked at her hair, which was still wet. It was obvious that she had just combed it. Gu Qingcheng, who has just changed his clothes, is sitting next to a campfire. He looks at a few river fish roasting on the fire. He is dazed. His eyes are like autumn water. With the flicker of the campfire, they are uncertain.

Not far from Gu Qingcheng, the white wolf king narrowed his eyes and lay listlessly on a piece of bluestone. He seemed to be asleep. But the constantly stirring ears proved that the seemingly lazy white wolf king did not relax his vigilance in the silent night. On the side of the white wolf king, the thread wildebeest, who had been following Gu Qingcheng since the battle of Danshui last year, was digging the grass roots on the Bank of the river, and from time to time gave out a pleasant hiss.

Under the orders of waige, Gu Qingcheng did not follow Su Leyi's previous plan. He first went south to chaiyuan to build the water village, and then took a boat to Pingqiu, which was on the left side of Qiu Xu's army. First of all, fengxiangyunqi can't say that the ship will lose its combat effectiveness, but it's different from that on land. If the land-based fengxiangyunqi is an elite team that can fight in the battlefield immediately after attacking for thousands of miles, the ship's fengxiangyunqi is nothing more than a bow camp.

Secondly, it has been several months since the war between the two countries, and now the cards of both sides have basically been revealed, but this is only limited to the military strength of the two countries. You should know that as the three chief ministers of the world, the Qiu family also has a private army of about several thousand people. According to the intelligence of the foreign affairs department and the military intelligence department, most of the Qiu clan soldiers are retired veterans of the mad lion army, Although these people are not as good as the star mercury division, Qiu lie trained in Danshui at that time, so their combat power on the water should not be underestimated.

Therefore, in Lu Que's military order, Gu Qingcheng was asked to go directly around Heyan city and take the Lushan path to avoid the surrounding counties and reach Pingqiu. Because whether in Lu Que's heart or Gu Qingcheng's heart, the wolves with the white wolf king are on the side. It's much safer to go by land or by mountain than by water.

Just as Gu Qingcheng was staring at the campfire, the white wolf king, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly moved his ears. The huge wolf's head was suddenly raised, and his green eyes were staring at the night behind him.

"Bai Xia, it's not the enemy, it's my cousin." Gu Qingcheng turned over the roast fish on the fire and said. The steps of the comer didn't cover up. With Gu Qingcheng's cultivation at this time, he naturally heard the movement behind him.

Although Gu qianxiao is the son of Gu Huaiyi, the second uncle of Gu Qingcheng, Gu's father Gu Huairen had been fighting against the Qingyang empire in the sky fire army when he was young. Therefore, Gu's age is older than that of Gu Qianxue and Gu Qingcheng, and he is the elder brother of the new generation of Gu family in Dingguo. Gu qianxiao was 25 years old and had been in the army since he graduated from the Academy. The year before last, when Gu Jieyun returned to Beijing to become a deputy commander of the Fengxiang army, he transferred the nephew from Bai Yi's Longjun army to the Fengxiang army and took the post of Wan Ren camp in Fengxiang.

"Five younger sister, you are very excited. You even light a fire to roast fish on the way. It's hard to find your brother in the camp." From the night sentry at the camp gate, I learned that Gu Qingcheng had taken the white wolf king out of Gu qianxiao's camp. After walking along the road to get water for a while, I saw the fire not far away. When I walked in, I found that Gu Qingcheng, who had been looking for him for a long time, was roasting fish by the stream. I couldn't help laughing and crying.

"It's been raining these days, and the clothes are wet. My little sister just took advantage of the rain to come out and wash up. " Gu Qingcheng takes a look at Gu qianxiao and looks at the roast fish on the fire. His hands turn over the fish from time to time.

"So it is." Gu qianxiao's eyes flashed a little clear. When he camped in the evening, the ten thousand troops who had been drenched in rain for several days were all bathed in the rain one after another. But Gu Qingcheng is a woman after all. It's inconvenient to go on the March. Now it's reasonable to come out and wash in the dark. This is also the reason why Gu qianxiao asked so many people that no one knew where Gu Qingcheng was going. Although she was the commander in chief of the army, she was the only woman in the whole camp, so she would not tell anyone about her privacy.

"I'll cook the fish right away. Today I'll invite you to taste my sister's skill." Gu Qingcheng turned back and said, then quickly looked at the fish. At this time, the fish was about to be roasted, and it was time to pinch the heat.

"That's a good feeling. Today, I'm a general. I'd like to taste the roast fish baked by the deputy commander." Gu qianxiao sat down beside Gu Qingcheng and said with a smile.

However, when Gu qianxiao takes a close look at Gu Qingcheng's three grilled fish on the fire, he can't help finding that although the three grilled fish on the fire have broken their belly and gone to the viscera, their scales have not receded. He is curious and asks, "five younger sister, why don't you go to the scales?"

"Lu que taught me that." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile, "Lu que said that the fish scale is easier to taste, but the fish will inevitably be blackened by fireworks. If a beginner like me can't master it well, he will bake it hard and scorch it. It won't be like this if he roasts it with the fish scale. Just peel off the fish scale when he eats it."

At this point, Gu Qingcheng whistled. The thread wildebeest, who was digging grass roots, ran over and stopped by Gu Qingcheng. Gu took out a skillfully made wooden box from his saddle bag and opened it. He said, "this is the secret salt making material of Baizhen building in the imperial capital. Lu que asked me to take it with me when I was on my way. I'll wait for the fish to roast and go to the fish scale, Then sprinkle the salt and you can eat it directly. "

Gu qianxiao looks at Gu Qingcheng's eyes full of happy thoughts and the corners of his mouth full of smiles. Gu Qingcheng is the most dazzling pearl of Dingguo's family. Now when she sees what she belongs to in her heart, and that person is Lu que who has no choice in talent, learning, temperament, family background and personality, Gu qianxiao is also sincerely happy for her beloved sister.

"When I was in the capital, I heard that although Lu que was not good at wine, he liked delicious food very much. It is said that he went to their Baizhen building to ask the famous chefs for their cooking skills. The salt he specially selected must be the best. " Gu qianxiao took the wooden box in Gu Qingcheng's hand, opened it and found that there was another mechanism in the big wooden box, which was not only divided into upper, middle and lower layers, but each layer was divided into four small boxes, and each small box had a mechanism, which could lock the small box to prevent the spices from spilling out. The production was extremely exquisite.

Besides, on the outer wall of the wooden box, there is a vivid Taotie carved, which even Gu qianxiao's knowledge has never seen. Gu qianxiao knows very well that such a wooden box is a rare treasure, but Lu que actually used it to hold twelve kinds of seasonings for Gu Qingcheng to carry with him. Gu Qingcheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. For a moment, Gu qianxiao didn't know how to evaluate them.

After a while, the fish had been roasted. Gu Qingcheng took it down from the fire, took out a dagger at his waist, quickly picked up the scales on the fish, then opened the wooden box, twisted some salt and sprinkled it evenly on it.

"It's finally done. I didn't feel anything when I saw Lu que do it, but when I started it, I was in a hurry." Gu Qingcheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, handed one of the roasted fish to Gu qianxiao and said, "grunt, try my craft and see what's wrong with it?"

Gu Qingxiao looks at the fish. Since he left Guangji County, he has not had a good meal for nearly two months. Smelling the smell of grilled fish, he swallows two mouthfuls of saliva and is not polite. He takes a grilled fish from Gu Qingcheng and tears off a small piece of fish meat and puts it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious. The meat is much more tender than the scaleless roast. It's just a little hot." Gu qianxiao said vaguely while chewing the fish in his mouth.

Gu Qingcheng saw Gu qianxiao's appearance, and his eyes showed a trace of joy. He took a roast fish and shook it at the white wolf king lying on the bluestone, saying, "Bai Xia, this is yours."

The white wolf king jumped up and came to Gu Qingcheng. He stared at the grilled fish on the wooden fork, and then came to smell it. But he didn't open his mouth to eat. Instead, he sobbed and fell down beside Gu Qingcheng.

"What? What's wrong? " Gu Qingcheng frowned, tore off a piece of fish from the fish and tasted it carefully. Then he patted the white wolf king's head and said, "it's not as good as Lu Que's roast, but it's also delicious. You're a guy with a bad appetite."

"Wuwu ~" the white wolf king made a vague voice in his throat, but he still didn't give Gu Qingcheng face. Instead, he turned his head to one side and stretched out a front paw to cover his mouth and nose.

Gu qianxiao looked at Gu Qingcheng and then at the white wolf king. There was a glimmer of envy in his eyes. The white wolf king was really amazing, but the thousands of wolves gathered under his command at this time were his own intelligence, which was no less than those well-educated students. Most of the time, when Gu qianxiao faced it, it was like facing a person. As a military general, Gu qianxiao also wants to have such a spirit beast as a partner, but he knows that it is almost impossible for spirit beast to take the initiative to conclude a contract with people, even for the lowest level spirit beast of yellow rank.

"Don't wolves eat blood? It may not like the baked food Gu qianxiao looked at the white wolf king and said.

But Gu didn't expect that as soon as his voice fell, the white wolf king suddenly raised his head and stared at him. He could even see a trace of anger from the huge wolf eyes.

"Baixia is not an ordinary spirit beast." Gu Qingcheng put his hand on the white wolf king, combed his fur and calmed his mood, and said, "Bai Xia is now the top spirit beast of the xuanjie stage. Although he can't eat wind and Qi like the spirit beast, he won't eat blood anymore. Generally, he is looking for some herbs in the mountains or fruits with abundant spirit, Brother, you can't treat him as the moon wolf in the pack. He will be angry. "

"So it is. I don't know much about it. It's the first time I've heard about it." Gu qianxiao suddenly realized that he was embarrassed and scratched his head. Then he arched his hand to the white wolf king and said, "brother wolf, I'm sorry."

"Wuwu ~" the white wolf king uttered two throat sounds and fell down again.

"I know that my elder brother also wants a partner like Bai Xia, but the spirit beast contract is not so easy to sign. At this time, there are more than ten spirit beast moon wolves in Bai Xia's wolf pack. After the war, my elder brother can try it, but we can't guarantee whether it can be done. After that, Bai Xia and I signed the spirit beast contract, even if Bai Xia is the wolf king, It can't control the will of the moon wolf. " Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu qianxiao, looked at the white wolf king's favorite expression, thought about it, and said.

"That's good, that's good. I'm willing to try as long as I have a chance. But during this time, you should tell brother Wei some spirit beast taboos, so that brother Wei can cultivate feelings with those moon wolves. " Gu qianxiao smell speech eyes a bright, some excited rubbing hands said.

"This ~" Gu Qingcheng shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't help you. At the beginning, I signed a contract with Bai Xia, mostly because of Lu que. I was also ignorant. But if my elder brother wants to know, I can ask him to bring a letter to Lu que when Dongya comes back. "

"That's fine." Gu qianxiao nodded.

"By the way, my brother just said that he had been looking for me in the camp for a long time. What's the matter?" Gu Qingcheng asked again.

"It's nothing. It's just that the war is just around the corner. I'm a little uneasy. You know, although I joined the army for five years, and I stayed in the south for two years with the Longxiang army before, I didn't really experience the war. As far as this is concerned, you are much better than I am. After all, last year, you and Lu que won a great victory in Danshui first, and then in the battle of hexingyuan. They both won a great victory by defeating others with few. So I want to ask you for advice before this war. "

Gu Qingcheng heard speech ponder for a while, before she did not think about this problem, now think is really like this. Although my elder brother was the commander of the first battalion, he didn't fight a tough battle between the two armies. Before the battle of Xihe County, it was also the white wolf king who led the wolves to rush through the gate of the city and forced the garrison to surrender. Feng Xiangyun rode into the city to receive more results.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng said, "my elder brother used to be an elite student of Qingquan Academy. I don't need my younger sister to say anything about his talent. If I have to say that, there are only three points: using strategy before the war, using wisdom in the battle, relying on courage in the battle, and having both fear and no fear in the heart. This is the superior general. "

Gu qianxiao smell speech, savor Gu Qingcheng's words carefully in the heart, not a long time not from the eyes a bright, praise said "five younger sister talent, for brother less."

"Talent?" Gu Qingcheng shook his head. "Compared with Lu que, I'm not a great talent. I can be a general at the edge of the town at most, which can ensure the safety of one side. But he is the supreme commander, who can deter the eight barren and four barbarians. Besides, I'm a woman after all, and I don't have the ambition of my aunt. I'd rather stay in Qianyuan, the capital of the emperor, to study and cook tea than to be a top-ranking official, to be a marquis and to lead an army in battle. "

Gu qianxiao sighed. He was six years older than Gu Qingcheng. Before entering the Academy, he had been growing up in Dingguo government. How could he not see Gu Qingcheng's mind. This younger sister, who has been in love with his country since childhood, has a low-key mind. She has always been worried that with Gu's mind, she may not be able to find a suitable husband, because with her family's power, how can she marry a mediocre person? But how can a talented person not have a heart of fame and wealth?

The mediocre Gu family does not like it, and the talented but powerful Gu Qingcheng does not like it. However, it is almost impossible for him to exist who is not only talented but also indifferent to fame and wealth. Even Ji Zhiheng, a prodigy who retired from the mountains a few years ago, had an enterprising spirit when he was an official. But since Gu Qingcheng met Lu que, everything has changed. It seems that they are destined to come together.

At this time, Gu qianxiao can see that there is only Lu Que in Gu Qingcheng's heart. She can give everything for him, even her life. Thinking of this, Gu qianxiao could not help but look to the north and murmured in his heart, "no one can hurt my sister, Lu que, do you know?"
