Chapter 130： Let the author eat

Outside Luodu Camp, Mu Zhiming stood beside the pouting horse, waiting quietly.

The setting sun and the geese are flying south. It snowed last night. Today, the cold dampness in the air is piercing the bones. Mu Zhiming went out in a hurry and forgot to put on his big cloak. She shivered, covering her lips and coughing lightly.

It's been a long time since Xia Xia didn't go here. Although Mu Zhiming was very patient, he was thinking about Gu Heyan's attack with a military stick, so he could not wait to rush into the camp immediately and meet Gu Heyan.

After waiting and waiting, finally, Doctor Xia's figure appeared in Mu Zhiming's sight.

Dr. Xia ran to the barracks out of breath and bowed to Mu Zhiming: "Master Hou, the general is not in the barracks."

For a moment, the disappointment was like a surging wave, which drowned Mu Zhiming in an instant, and Mu Zhiming sighed: "Where did he go?"

Doctor Xia replied, "I heard that the general is going to deliver swords and irons. I'm useless, and I can't lead the Marquis to the barracks."

"Doctor Xia, don't say that." Mu Zhiming hurriedly said, "If you don't follow the rules, you can't form a circle. The Rongyan Army has always been disciplined. How can you blame it? It's okay, I'll wait in front of the barracks."

"Ah? Are you here?" Xia Wu was taken aback, "I don't know when the general will be back!"

Mu Zhiming smiled and said: "It's okay, I've come here, I'm really not reconciled to not see him, but I have something to ask for, can I ask Dr. Xia to help me get a cloak, ahem, this wind has been blowing for a long time. , makes people feel very cold, cough cough."

"Ouch!" Xia Xian Wu was in a hurry and took his pulse. "Master Hou, you have had lung disease and you can't help freezing! I'll get a cloak right away, you wait!"

Saying that Doctor Xia trotted into the barracks again, Mu Zhiming said to his back: "Doctor Xia, run slowly, don't be in a hurry, cough..."

There was a dull pain in his chest, Mu Zhiming lowered his head and coughed, and stood silently on the right side of the horse, using the horse's body to block the cold wind, which was better than nothing.

At this moment, a thick voice suddenly sounded in Mu Zhiming's ears.

"Are you the Hou Xuanning?"

Mu Zhiming looked up, and saw a man in black armor, about 30 years old with a beard, turned over and dismounted and walked towards him.

"Under Mu Zhiming, I have seen the adults, dare to ask who the adults are?" Mu Zhiming endured the discomfort in his chest, clasped his fists and saluted.

Zhong Zhaofan didn't report his family name immediately, but said, "I am a member of this military camp. Xuan Ning is here to see General Gu, right? It's going to be night, it's freezing outside, how can I let it go? You condescend to let the wind blow here, and I will lead you into the barracks."

Mu Zhiming looked at him, as if thinking of something, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "Thank you, it's just that I asked Doctor Xia in the army to help me get a cloak. If I leave at this time, I'm worried that Doctor Xia will find you not me."

Zhong Zhaofan: "It's easy to do, just let the guard tell Doctor Xia."

Mu Zhiming hesitated, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew through, causing him to shrink from the cold. Mu Zhiming didn't want to wait to see Gu Heyan's sick body, and clasped his fists and said, "Then there is Lord Lao Zhong."

Zhong Zhaofan was stunned, his face changed slightly, he was silent for a long time, then smiled: "So the Marquis recognizes me."

Mu Zhiming said calmly: "The Luodu Camp follows the military regulations of the Rongyan Army. If you don't have a pass card to enter the camp, you must have an order from the commander. If you are not the commander of the Southern Border Army, Zhong Zhaofan, how can the guards let him go?"

Zhong Zhaofan: "The Marquis knows the military regulations of the Rongyan Army like the back of the hand."

Mu Zhiming: "When I was young, I traveled to the frontier twice and lived in the military camp. Naturally, I have to understand the rules."

Zhong Zhaofan: "The fact that Marquis dispatched tigers and wolves to foreign countries before the war is admirable. Not much to say, Marquis, please."

Zhong Zhaofan led Mu Zhiming into the tent of the commander of the Southern Frontier Army, asked him to sit down at the low desk, and ordered someone to bring hot tea and place it in front of Mu Zhiming.

"Thank you." Mu Zhiming nodded, picked up the hot tea, and took a sip to warm his body.

Zhong Zhaofan sat down opposite Mu Zhiming: "There is only crude tea in the army, please don't dislike it."

Mu Zhiming said, "Don't dare."

At this moment, a soldier of the Southern Border Army lifted the curtain and entered the tent. In Zhong Zhaofan's ear, he said in an inaudible voice, "Gu Heyan has arrived at the gate of the barracks."

"Okay." Zhong Zhaofan nodded.

The soldiers clasped their fists and stepped back.

Mu Zhiming: "Master Zhong has something to do?"

Zhong Zhaofan smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I have heard that Marquis is very talented. I don't know something, and I would like to ask Marquis to advise me."

Mu Zhiming: "You said."

Zhong Zhaofan: "What is the master of high power?"

Mu Zhiming never expected that he would ask such an innuendo question, his eyes sank, and he asked back, "Dare to ask Lord Zhong, what is the Lord?"

Zhong Zhaofan didn't even think about it: "You are the master."

"If the monarch is the master..." Mu Zhiming said loudly, "What is the world? What is the family? What is the people?"

Zhong Zhaofan was stunned.

Mu Zhiming said: "Those who conceal their sharpness, serve the people wholeheartedly, and do not overstep are called loyal ministers; the merits of loyal ministers are the merits of kings; because the source of water is clear, the flow is clear, and if they are loyal ministers, what if their merits are high?"

When Zhong Zhaofan heard the words, he didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke again, he praised: "It seems that the Marquis's words to determine the peace of the frontier are not something that came out of nothing, but it's a pity..."

He suddenly dragged his voice long, raised his chin, and looked contemptuous: "Unfortunately, Lord Hou married General Gu in order to gain military power. For the rest of his life, he can only be a prostitute who sells laughs and joys under a man's crotch."
