Chapter 32. The one-armed man

Everything was ready, Qingji raised his hand to the sky, and dozens of horns behind him sounded in unison.

The troops moved and blew up ten miles of yellow sand.

Returning to the army, Zheng Wenzhong and nearly 300 soldiers under him were split into different teams, Hua Chen followed Qingji, and Shao Zheng was given a thousand swords by Qingji to lead the troops to fight. In this way, except for the sixteen people buried in the bamboo forest, everyone reintegrated into this iron-blooded army.

After leaving Qufu, the entire army marched quickly and rushed to Xuecheng in one day. In order to facilitate the march, Qingji ordered the entire army to station on a slope that stretched for several miles five miles south of the city.

At night, Qingji habitually summoned the generals to discuss matters, and Shao Zheng was also called by Qingji to participate. Hua Chen knew very little about the marching and war, which was one of his few shortcomings now. Since he didn't understand, there was no need to participate. Hua Chen thought so and said this to Qingji.

After wandering alone in the camp for a long time, Hua Chen felt very bored. The strict military discipline caused the soldiers standing guard to look at him, looking ahead like a statue. The resting soldiers gathered in groups of three or three, gathering around the bonfire to keep warm, but no one paid attention to Hua Chen. After all, it was a team of ten thousand people. Outside Qufu City, except for the front row, I am afraid that no one of them saw him. Hua Chen was very surprised. He had more than 200 people under his command, but he couldn't see any of them after he inserted it?

As he walked, a short figure attracted Hua Chen's attention. It was not because he was short and Hua Chen did not have the habit of attacking people, but because this person had no companions and sat by himself by a bunch of bonfires that were about to go out, as if an old monk had entered a meditation and remained motionless.

When Hua Chen approached, he found that the man was not only short, but also had only one arm. His right sleeve was empty and his cuffs were tied into a lump.

"Brother Tai is disabled. Is he a soldier who attacked Wu?" Hua Chen walked to the one-armed man and sat down and asked.

"If you can't play for the young master with one arm?" said the one-armed man hoarsely.

"You misunderstood. I don't mean to look down on you. I just think that if you go into battle like this, you may only lose your life in vain." Hua Chen explained. He really didn't mean to mock the one-armed man.

As soon as Hua Chen finished speaking, the one-armed man disappeared in front of him, and then a strong wind came from behind him. Hua Chen realized that something was wrong, so he stood up to avoid it, but he just barely avoided his chest and was hit by a hard object on his shoulder, grinning in pain.

The one-armed man slowly sat down holding a branch in his hand and asked, "Am I qualified to go into battle?"

Although "you" is a sneak attack, it also has the speed and strength. Hua Chen thought that even if he faces a head-on battle, he will definitely not be the opponent of the one-armed man. This person's strength may be comparable to Shao Zheng, only Qingji can subdue him? As soon as he thought of this, the word "you" was convinced.

"Brother Tai is good at martial arts. I wonder if he is lucky enough to get to know him?"

"To leave."

The one-armed man only said two words, Hua Chen thought: "You want to leave", is this to leave here by himself? No, these two words are a bit familiar, why do you seem to have heard it somewhere? It should be his name.

"I want to leave my eldest brother, my name is Huachen."

Yaoli paused for a moment and asked, "Are you Hua Chen, who was on the mission to Lu?"

"You want to know me with brother?" Hua Chen was so happy when he heard this. After wandering around for a long time, he found someone who knew him.

"I often remember you when I hear you mention you." After a moment of surprise, I was about to return to calmness, adding short branches more than a foot long to the bonfire. Although I move quickly, I can always accurately penetrate into the narrow gap.

Seeing the movements of Yaoli Xingyun and flowing water, Hua Chen sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being a master around Qingji. If this branch is a short sword, he may have stabbed someone and become pregnant.

"How could it be, brother is so good~" Hua Chen said, setting his eyes on the broken arm that was about to leave.

"No need to mention the past." Throw the last branch into the bonfire, lying down on the grass, resting on one arm on your head, slowly closing your eyes.

Seeing that he was not concerned about himself, Hua Chen no longer made fun of himself and stood up and left, thinking that no wonder no one was willing to "sleep" with him. It turned out to be a dull and topic-terminator.

When I returned to Qingji's big tent, there was only Qingji in the tent. It seemed that the meeting had ended. Yes, the entire army was open-air camps, and only Qingji had the central army's big tent. There was no way. We couldn't let the generals blow the wind together, look at the stars, and discuss the marching matters, right?

"Hey! Tell me what the hell is this? Where did you divide my three hundred soldiers? I went out to wander south for a long time, but no one with a familiar face was found." As soon as I entered the account, Hua Chen shouted. Without outsiders and no major events, he returned to the casualness he had in Qingji's mansion.

"The soldiers of the two battalions are separated. When you go to the south, you will see all the soldiers of the Northeast Camp. All the people you bring are in the Northwest Camp. Only if you can see them will there be ghosts." Qing Ji rubbed his head with his palm and said helplessly.

"Oh, haha, that's right. I said, why didn't anyone pay attention to me all the way, except~" Hua Chen seemed to suddenly think of something and continued, "By the way, I saw a one-armed man named Yaoli in the south camp tonight. Who is he? He is very familiar with you when he speaks?"

"You have a conversation with him? It's not easy."

"Of course," Hua Chen thought, even if he only talked for a few words, he still asked himself, so he was just talking. Besides, he not only talked, but also started.

"Since you've talked about it, you're asking me what I'm doing?"

"Don't you think it's impolite to ask someone else's privacy in person?"

"Don't you think it's even more rude to ask about other people's privacy behind your back?"

Hua Chen felt that Qingji had changed and he had not seen him for more than a month. He seriously suspected that this guy didn't care about Aicheng's affairs at all, but secretly ran to participate in the "Speech and Eloquence" training.

Seeing Hua Chen’s defeated look, Qing Ji laughed and said, “Okay, I know if I don’t tell you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep well all night.”

When Hua Chen heard this, he consciously ran to the opposite side of Qingji to sit down. Without Qingji's entertainment, he poured wine for himself. He moved his butt a few times and found a comfortable position. It seemed like he was telling Qingji: Please start your performance.

Qingji had become accustomed to Hua Chen's rogue behavior and said, "Yaoli was originally from Wu, and Wu Zixu was deeply revengeful. Last year, he recommended Yaoli as a general to attack Chu. In the main hall of Gusu Royal City, Helu rejected Wu Zixu's suggestion. Yaoli said he was unfair to Wu Zixu. He was angry and killed Yaoli, and killed his whole family and his corpse was tragically in the city.

You can escape by chance and recover from the mountains and fields. A few days after you left, he came to Aicheng in the snow and said he would help me break through Gusu and kill Helu. Although this man only had one arm, he still had the courage of thousands of men and was good at fighting water, so I took him in. After all, it was his heart and my wish."

After hearing this, Hua Chen drank the wine and said, "He is also a pitiful person, no wonder he is so introverted."

"I heard what you said before, aren't you having a good conversation? How come you say that you are so indifferent?"

“…”

Hua Chen really felt that he could not communicate with Qingji, so he walked out of the tent with a jar of wine.
