Chapter 131 Army

 In the rainy night, the sound of horse hooves was gradually drowned in the muffled thunder.

In the carriage, the woman lowered the soaked curtain, chuckled, and said no more.

When the convoy continued to move forward in the rain for about half a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves sounded again in the rain curtain in front, but it was one of the soldiers who had been ordered to leave galloping towards them.

"Call!"

When the motorcade approached, the man pulled the reins to stop the horse's speed.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant, I found an abandoned thatched hut on the side of the official road five miles away from here. Li Si has already gone to clean it up and check it out." As soon as the soldier arrived in front of the Lieutenant, he immediately dismounted and said respectfully.<

/p>

"Very good, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. You can lead the way and we will go there to rest for the night." Upon hearing this, the lieutenant perked up and said without thinking.

With the order given, the speed of the convoy immediately increased a few minutes. A quarter of an hour later, the carriage, escorted by many soldiers, arrived in front of the abandoned hut mentioned by the soldiers.

In front of the hut, in addition to a garrison-style horse, there was also a small crow-green carriage, and a shiny-coated horse was tied under the eaves, quietly gnawing on the grass in front of it.

Inside the hut, firelight danced, and the faint sound of even breathing could be heard.

"Zhang Yi, what's going on?" When Lieutenant Qian saw this, his face immediately darkened and he shouted to the soldier leading the way.

"Reporting to the lieutenant, when I found this place, there were already passers-by resting here. However, I have found out clearly that they are a pair of sisters. They said they went to the capital city to seek medical treatment. The elder sister is a bit reticent.

"My sister is very talkative. She told her subordinates all this news." Zhang Yi, the soldier leading the way, was surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Oh? It's a very important matter. Don't take any doubts lightly. I'll go in and see the situation first."

Lieutenant Qian was still a little wary. He turned around and said something, jumped off his horse and strode toward the house.

The many soldiers behind him remained motionless, letting the water stains on their faces and heads flow down the river without daring to wipe them away.

In the hut, two fires, one large and one small, were clearly lit.

The soldier Li Si who came to explore the road before was busy in front of the big fire.

Near another small fire, there are indeed two girls taking a rest.

At this time, there was a girl wearing an ice blue Ruyi dress. She opened her big watery eyes and looked at the visitor curiously. Her skirt was messy and most of her pink and jade-like legs were exposed.

He came out, looking innocent as if he had woken up from a dream.

The girl next to her, who was wearing a narrow-sleeved gauze dress with a golden cloud pattern, was sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, looking like she was concentrating with her eyes closed, but there was a layer of repulsion on her face that was repelling people thousands of miles away.

Indifference and aloofness.

Next to the fire, the soldier who had just thrown a piece of dry wood into the fire was startled when he saw Lieutenant Qian walking in. He quickly ran over and bowed to salute.

"Girl, what's your name? Where are you from? Is there a way out?" Lieutenant Qian waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to be polite. He looked in the direction of the girl with sharp eyes and asked coldly.

"...."

Faced with Lieutenant Qian's inquiry, the girl who closed her eyes and meditated as if she hadn't heard anything and didn't even move her eyelids.

The soldier looked at the girl not far away and swallowed subconsciously. Soon, he frowned and shouted loudly: "Hey, what are we, the officers, asking you?"

"Ah...it turns out to be Lord Lieutenant. No wonder he is so energetic...The little girl Xingxiao, named Fuyan, went to the capital city with my sister for treatment. As for Lu Yin, we are sure

Yes...Please, Lieutenant, please wait a moment..."

Just when Lieutenant Qian was about to ask another question, the girl in the blue dress seemed to have just reacted to this incident. After she subconsciously answered a few words, she fumbled around in the bag behind her for a while, and quickly took out

Two palm-sized apricot letters.

The soldier stepped forward cleverly, took it from the girl's weak and boneless fingers, turned around and handed it to Lieutenant Qian respectfully.

Lieutenant Qian took the letter, opened it quickly, glanced at it, nodded and handed it back to the soldier, indicating to him to return the things, and he quickly turned around and left the hut, walking into the torrential rainy night.
Less than a moment later, the sound of horses neighing and carriages coming was heard outside the hut.

Soon, twelve or three more black-clothed soldiers who looked like water ghosts rushed in and skillfully cleaned the hut. Then, they found relatively dry firewood from the half-collapsed houses on both sides and quickly put it in the house.

Three fires were set up in another corner of the hut.

At the same time, a strong wind blew, and the moist and earthy smell in the air mixed with a faint fragrance rushed in. Two middle-aged servant women walked in first, followed by a beautiful woman in her thirties next to a pretty maid.

He walked in with support, followed by an eight or nine-year-old child who was held in the arms of an ugly, muscular servant.

The two middle-aged servants stepped into the hut, and immediately took out clean mats and spread them on the floor. They also took out a bed of snow-white animal skins from their luggage and spread them on them. At the same time, they placed two low sheets on the ground like a magic trick.

A wooden table was placed next to each other, and alluring pastries, fruits, and pastries were placed one by one.

The beautiful woman and child sat down gracefully, and the pretty maid took out an exquisite copper stove from the bag and placed it on it. Suddenly, the faint scent of sandalwood came out along with the curling green smoke.

At some point, the two maids hung up a layer of green gauze curtains in the area where the woman stayed, and the dilapidated hut suddenly became elegant.

Soon, other black-clothed soldiers and Lieutenant Qian came in. After listening to Lieutenant Qian's order, two soldiers spontaneously turned around and stood guard outside the door. The others spontaneously divided into two teams and surrounded them.

Take off your armor next to the fire and take turns to roast them.

As for Lieutenant Qian, he was guarding a bonfire alone. After taking off his heavily armored helmet, Lieutenant Qian turned out to be a tall young man with a slender figure and fine features.

Not far away, the girl in the blue dress's eyes lit up, she twisted her waist and wanted to stand up to strike up a conversation, but the next moment, she curled her lips and sat down again.

Because this man's wheat-skinned face has a ferocious scar running across his facial features, his originally handsome face looks a bit scary.

The young former lieutenant tightened his lips and put the dark heavy sword in his hand within easy reach with an expressionless expression. Then he sat down cross-legged, with only a curtain separating him from the beautiful woman.

.

At this time, the soldiers who had packed up began to take out the dry food and began to eat in the rain. The originally dry food looked a bit disgusting under the soaking of the rain, but these soldiers did not even frown and just stayed calm.

Swallowing quietly.

The beautiful woman took a few bites of the snacks and signaled the healthy servant to feed the child. Then she waved her hand to the maid behind her to come forward. She looked at the silent and indifferent young man on the left and smiled slightly: "Qian

Lieutenant, I still have some extra cakes here. If you don’t mind, why not eat them with all the soldiers."

"Thank you, Madam, for your consideration. Madam's kindness is appreciated." The indifferent young man glanced at the beautiful woman and refused without hesitation.
