The curtain fell, covering up the cold afterglow of the night and cutting off her sight.
There was silence in the camp, but Jun Ci suddenly felt a little cramped.
It was obviously the result of a dream, but the loneliness and sadness he felt when he left fell on her heart. It was inexplicably unpleasant, and Jun Ci was a little annoyed.
This wave of worry did not dissipate until she finished washing and lay on the bed. She rested her head on her hands and stared at the ceiling with her quiet eyes without blinking. She couldn't figure out why she achieved what she wanted but didn't feel the joy she expected.
, do you always feel guilty that you seem to have done something wrong?
"Guilt feeling?" After reading the word "pin", Jun Ci sneered, pulled the thin back cover, closed his eyes, empty his head, and didn't think about anything.
She thought she would be able to fall asleep as quickly as before, but she didn't think about anything. She was so awake that she couldn't sleep even after lying down for a long time. In order to fall asleep, she counted and chanted sutras again, but she still didn't fall asleep.
!
She sat up irritably, grabbed her robe, walked out of the tent that made her feel bored, walked along the grass, stepped on the fine moonlight, chose a high ground, sat on the ground, and looked up at the moon.
"General, why don't you feel sleepy late at night?" Jun Ci sat there for an unknown amount of time until Qin Xiao's voice sounded from behind him.
She had sensed that someone was approaching, so she let him come over without noticing any malice. Without looking back, she still raised her chin and looked at the hanging cold moon: "Aren't you awake too?"
"Hai Shi has not yet come." As he spoke, Qin Xiao had already stood beside Jun Ci.
Jun Ci turned his head and glanced at him: "I'm not sleepy tonight."
"Oh." Qin Xiao didn't know whether he believed it or not. He sat down next to Jun Ci at a distance of one person, stepped on the grass with his legs, pulled out a piece of yellowing grass, and twisted it on his fingertips.
"Why did the general take over the Central Guard Army?"
This has always been a doubt in Qin Xiao's heart.
Jun Ci had made a contribution to the rescue. According to His Majesty's appreciation of her at that time, she had no need to take over the Central Guard Army. She had more and better choices.
He didn't believe that she didn't know that the Central Guard Army was a puddle of mud because she had been absent from the capital for a long time, and Zhang Shangshu was Jun Ci's uncle.
Jun Ci lowered his head and smiled softly. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Only you can I take over."
There is no choice. She is a girl and she is young. If she were in another important position, even if His Majesty used the power of rescue to put pressure, Zhou Rong and others might not give in.
If it wasn't an important position, why would Yuan You bother to make an exception and let her go? It would be a waste of her efforts.
Everyone knows that the Central Guards are lazy and undisciplined, and the people in the Central Guards are also shabby and just want to have fun. Such people would not be arrogant, so they would go with a girl like her.
Take control.
Facts have proved that, except for Qin Xiao and Wu Zheng, who were of noble birth and could not make men lose face, the rest of them mostly accepted the emperor's orders in a numb manner as the general was a girl.
Because they are ridiculed by the armed forces every year, multiple female generals are just one more reason to be laughed at and ridiculed.
In any other place, with a little bit of real power, Jun Ci would not be easily integrated into it.
Qin Xiao suddenly realized after hearing this: "It turns out that we are also generals and have no choice."
Just like Junci, they have no choice.
No one is willing to take over the Central Guard Army, and the voice of the court calling for the disbandment of the Central Guard Army is getting louder day by day.
Qin Xiao had already made plans to find another unused escape route, and Jun Ci came out of nowhere.
"No, I have no choice but you are my best choice." Jun Ci corrected her.
Without the Central Guards, she was bound to enter the court, but the place where she went was naturally not as good as the Central Guards who could take charge of the family. With her force and mind, she could create her own world no matter where she went. The difference was that
It’s just a matter of time.
But if she had not taken over the Central Guard Army, another person would not be able to subdue Qin Xiao and others. If this army could not be reorganized, His Majesty would give up, and the final outcome would inevitably cease to exist.
The fourth army became three armies, and the recruited soldiers were dispersed to the other three armies. People like Qin Xiao, who came from a good family background, could find another way out.
Qin Xiao remained silent.
Jun Ci stretched out his hand and put his palm on his shoulder: "At the right time, you and I will achieve each other's success."
A single tree cannot make a forest. No matter how brave she is, she can only survive alone in this era. If she wants to make great achievements and fulfill her ambition to be as good as her husband, she alone will never be able to achieve it.
"General, take me with you next time you go on a long journey." Qin Xiao suddenly said.
Jun Ci raised his heroic eyebrows and said, "Are you still worried about this?"
Qin Xiao shook his head gently: "No, it's because Ah Zheng has returned this time and he seems to have found out what kind of person he will be in the future. But the general is still confused in his heart. The sufferings of the people that Ah Zheng talked about, he said, are the
You will feel the same way, maybe there will be waves for a moment, but after a few days, it will pass without a trace.
I think, maybe I will go take a look and experience it for myself, so that I can remember it deeply and find a strong direction to work hard for."
So that's it, Jun Ci suddenly nodded: "Okay, I will definitely take you with me next time."
As expected, Qin Xiao's face had a deep and bright smile.
"When you are confused, you should do what you are doing right now..." Jun Ci's original intention was just to comfort Qin Xiao, but his heart suddenly became brighter.
What does she have to do with so much on her mind?
Concentrating on this moment, she still had many things to do, so how could she be bothered by Ying Wuchen and become trapped in the relationship between her children?
After thinking about it in her mind, she stood up and patted the grass clippings on her body: "You should rest early. You will be able to give good instructions tomorrow."
"General, don't worry, the general will go all out." Qin Xiao also jumped up, stood up straight, and patted his chest to assure him.
Jun Ci smiled and returned to the camp with his hands behind his back. He lay down again and fell asleep quickly.
The third day of the martial arts competition is crucial. Both rounds are group battles, and the first round is a cavalry battle.
The Fourth Army sent out twenty cavalrymen. They held specially treated spears with the spearheads removed. The cavalrymen were on horseback and knocked the enemy off their horses. The whole army fell off their horses first and were defeated. There were two games in total.
They both drew lots, and this time the Central Guard Army did not draw the Central Leader Army, but the Central Town Army.
Jun Ci glanced at Pang Wei and felt that he wanted to help the Central Guards.
The cavalry of the Central Guard Army has not yet been formally established, and naturally there is no special training. These participants in the martial arts competition are not recommended by the army, but are drawn from the palace. Jun Ci has no intention of winning this game.
The arena is divided into two, with the central leading army and the central guard army on one side, and the central town army and the central guard army on the other. The four armies compete at the same time.
At the beginning of the battle, the four armies seemed to be well matched, but soon the central defenders on the leading side were decimated due to a mistake.
The Zhongzhen Army and the Zhonghu Army had always been on equal footing, but suddenly their horses began to neigh, there was a burst of confusion, and ten members of the Zhongzhen Army fell off their horses at the same time.
Twenty members of the Central Guards versus the remaining ten, the answer is self-evident.
Jun Ci looked at Pang Wei, who smiled and nodded to Jun Ci, mouthing three words: Jiulang Jun.
