According to visual inspection, the bonfire group is only about five or six miles away from the coastline, which is not too close.
However, for Qi Xiaotong, who is light and agile, this is just a small journey with a slight sweat.
Yes, she still went.
Tong Yanhuo was a little worried, so he deliberately retracted his figure and followed her quietly, protecting her secretly.
There was nothing I could do, that little girl was too proud, and had to pretend to be an adult and take charge of her own business, but I couldn't resist, so I had to comply with her wish.
Adults will never understand the heart of a girl.
People have their own ideas, so how can they let others get involved in secrets?
Whoosh!
The two of them moved in tandem, like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, but everything was silent.
As the poem says: Sneak into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.
That’s right!
After a bleak autumn wind blew by, a beautiful figure like water flashed past, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Xiaotong quietly sneaked into the bonfire.
She acted swiftly and without hesitation, she knocked out a minion at the sentry post and then put on his armor as a disguise.
In this way, no one would notice her unusualness, and even if she stood up and walked around openly, she would not be questioned or questioned.
Because she was not sure whether this was Qi Jing's military camp, she took this kind of 'secret visit'. If it wasn't, she would just run away and avoid unnecessary trouble.
This is a unique advantage of martial arts practitioners, and there is nothing wrong with it.
In the dimly lit place that could be seen in the distance, a Chinese military tent stood impressively. Outside the tent, there were a few people standing guard. They looked solemn, did not whisper to each other, and seemed to be in good military discipline.
Quietly, Xiaotong moved over with her waist bent, and when she got closer, she gently opened a corner of the tent.
At a glance, I saw that it was empty inside, with no one around.
Huh? Where are the people in this tent?
Where did it go?
While I was confused, I suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from my ears, like a sneak attack!
drink!
who?
How dare you provoke me? I'll kick you away if you don't!
Crackling!
Between the electric light and flint, the two people, both in the dark, exchanged a few moves, but the result was that no one was able to suppress the other.
However, at this stage, Xiaotong could clearly feel that the other party was deliberately sparing his strength and was not really ruthless.
"Huh? When did we have such a good soldier like you in our camp?" The man who wanted to capture took a step back and sighed in a surprised tone.
Xiaotong took a closer look and saw that the person speaking was a young female general.
She, Linfeng Zhilan, has a heroic appearance, and can't help but exude a stubborn aura in every move she makes.
Suddenly, a rumored name came to mind.
Could it be her?
should be!
Seeing this, Xiaotong hurriedly made a bow and asked, "Is Madam Fang Ruojiao Auntie?"
"Well, it's me! Hey, your voice... haha, it turns out you are a girl!"
"Well, the female rabbit's eyes are blurry, which makes my aunt laugh."
For Yu Xiaotong, it is indeed not difficult to guess. It is no secret that Qi Jiajun has been guarding this area all year round.
As for this womanly Madam Qi, she is nothing short of a legendary figure. Who doesn’t know her?
She is a person with a story.
Back then, if it hadn't been for her earth-shattering arrow that killed Ge Qiu, the spiritual leader of the Emperor Worship Sect, how could the Shandong Rebellion have subsided so smoothly?
Xiaotong admires this legendary heroine very much.
However, as far as Fang Ruojiao is concerned, he also feels quite sympathetic to this junior.
The two looked at each other across the rivers and lakes, but they didn't dislike each other.
Fang Ruojiao, who was in his prime years, stood there, looking calmly at Qi Xiaotong, who was in his prime years, with his eyes full of what he looked like when he was young.
Lovely.
In an instant, the stiff atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Seeing that her aunt was so kind, Qi Xiaotong didn't hide any more and directly stated her identity and purpose of coming.
"Oh? You said you are Qi Yu's daughter? No wonder... I feel so kind." After sighing, Fang Ruojiao said again: "I have some impression of the child Hong Tao you mentioned. I remember that at that time, he still held your hand.
He wrote to join the army, but I turned him down."
"You refused? Why?" Seeing that the person she recommended was rejected, Xiaotong showed a rather embarrassed expression.
Fang Ruojiao seemed to have guessed her girl's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Don't think about it, this is not to flatter you, but the military has military regulations. That Hong Tao has just turned fifteen, and he is not yet mature enough."
He has reached the age to join the army, so I asked him to defer for one year and re-enlist next year, and I will definitely not refuse again."
Yes, you can only join the army when you are sixteen years old~~
Oops, how could I have forgotten this?
Even though a wise man thinks a lot, he still has some oversights!
"Well, he is a child from a poor family. He hopes that his aunt will help him more. He is a little behind in terms of age, but he will make progress..."
plead?
All right!
Fang Ruojiao rarely showed off his "violation of regulations" and said: "Well, since you asked for help, aunt will try to take him in. In three months, I will take him north with me."
"Thank you, auntie!" Xiaotong was overjoyed and thanked her quickly. However, she quickly realized something was wrong and said, "You mean going north? Why is that..."
"Haha, come on, come on, sit down first and listen to Auntie explain slowly..."
Afterwards, Fang Ruojiao came and explained the current situation.
Not long ago, there was an imperial decree saying that the north was in chaos, and Qi Jing was urgently ordered to go north to resist the enemy in order to stabilize the border.
As early as more than ten days ago, General Qi had led his troops to the north.
As far as Fang Ruojiao is concerned, the family is facing a moment of choice.
For so many years, Qi Jing and his wife have been inseparable, showing off their harp and piano skills at every turn. Now that the husband is leaving, how can the wife not follow him?
Yes!
necessary!
According to the plan, Fang Ruojiao was originally going to follow her husband, but unexpectedly, His Majesty suddenly issued another imperial edict, requiring all coastal areas to coordinate operations to eliminate the remaining sources of the Japanese plague.
Besides that, another big thing happened.
What?
The imperial court's voyage fleet suddenly returned from its voyage.
We must do our best to protect it!
These two factors are superimposed on each other, and Fang Ruojiao cannot be separated for the time being.
Qi Jing believed that even if she wanted to leave, she would have to wait until a new general was appointed by the court to take over.
Otherwise, it will only increase the number of accidents.
In fact, if she really had to leave, no one would be able to control her. However, she still followed her husband's advice and put aside her own small righteousness to consider the overall situation.
This is the true meaning of profound understanding...
Hearing this, Xiaotong's heart trembled, as if she had some realization.
A feeling of family and country that I had never felt before suddenly came to my mind. Although the feeling was a little hazy, I could still get a glimpse of it.
This has an obvious enlightening effect on Qi Xiaotong, who is forming his values.
Could it be that this is the unique thinking of a heroine?
Is this what a heroine should do?
probably!
Just as Qi Xiaotong was immersed in the joy of his realization, an unexpected bucket of cold water suddenly poured into his ears.
"Fortunately, my husband had the foresight to leave me here to guard. Otherwise, the treasure ship fleet would have been severely damaged."
What?
The fleet of treasure ships? Still suffered heavy losses?
Xiaotong suddenly came to his senses and asked with a worried look on his face: "Could it be said that there are really young people who are thinking about our imperial treasure ship?"
