Ever since Wu Ya'er left Linzhou, he had made a face every day.
It was not because Wu Ya'er abandoned him, but because Lao Hu found that the Linzhou military camp without Wu Ya'er was as unpopular and ostracized as he was in the Zhenwu Army as a Crow Army.
"Of course it's not because we grabbed battle merits, grabbed supplies, stripped everyone's clothes, and made them cry during the martial arts competition." Lao Hu stood on the wooden observation deck of the military camp and shouted angrily to the soldiers around him, "but
Because someone is saying bad things about us."
The soldiers standing next to him had expressions of numbness, neither shocked nor angry nor questioning. It was obvious that they had heard too many such words.
Lao Hu didn't need their response: "Who said bad things about us? It's the adults! Or the ones who don't wear military uniforms."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Linzhou City in the distance.
Linzhou City is clearly visible.
The military camp he is responsible for is on the outskirts of Linzhou City. There are not many soldiers and horses, and his responsibilities are similar to those of the guards in Linzhou City...
"It's the city guards! To put it harshly, they're the gatekeepers! City guards!" Old Hu gritted his teeth and slapped his chest, "We elite soldiers and generals should obviously be fighting outside."
This was originally the case, but after Wu Ya'er left, they were constantly mobilized, slowly moving from the most important defensive position to now guarding the city gate.
Of course he protested, but he said that he could not persuade those ministers and could not beat them. Wu Yaer wrote a letter and warned that he was not allowed to beat Shangguan like he did in the Zhenwu Army.
"We can either fight outside or inside, but we can't fight inside and outside at the same time." Wu Ya'er said, "Now that I'm fighting outside, you have to be safe inside."
Old Hu sighed, he knew what Wu Ya'er meant. Wu Ya'er would definitely have a bad reputation outside, but the people couldn't see it with their own eyes. What the people saw with their own eyes was how disciplined and conscientious the Zhenwu Army guarding them was.
, then no matter how many rumors there are, they are just rumors.
but!
"Has he ever thought that the person with the most rumors is not him, but his wife!" Lao Hu gritted his teeth, grabbed the railing of the wooden frame and leaned out...
The soldier was startled and hurriedly reached out to grab him: "Hu Su! Don't let your imagination run wild."
Lao Hu did not jump off the wooden frame, but pointed in the direction of the city gate: "Look, those gathered together must be talking about the rumors about Mrs. Chu."
Selling an official position, collecting money, being extravagant, and most importantly, raising men has a lot to do with many men! That Han Xu, a handsome man!
He gritted his teeth and sneered at everything.
This woman relied on the name of Wu Ya'er and the banner of Zhenwu Army to recruit troops. Finally, she was rewarded and titled by the emperor and became a powerful thief. Now she began to make no secret of her true nature.
Frankly speaking, if this Mrs. Chu was someone else, she would never say a word of dissatisfaction no matter what Lao Hu did. Most of the guards generals in this world have become thieves, not to mention this woman is a big thief.
But now she is stepping on Wu Yaer's shoulders...
"She has brought Wu Ya'er down." Lao Hu gritted his teeth, and when he said this, his teeth creaked, as if he had really bitten something. He looked in one direction, "...let other people's reputations get better and better.
.”
Who are the others? The soldiers followed Lao Hu's gaze and saw a group of soldiers and horses walking from the direction of the city gate. The military flag was flying with the word "hero" and the word "Xiang"...
Xiang Yun, the military commander of Longyou Road and the heroic general.
"General Xiang has been summoned by the emperor two days in a row." The soldiers said, joking, "I don't know if he will be given another title or promoted to a noble title."
Lao Hu sneered: "I wonder if we will be transferred again."
After the three generals Xiang Yun, Zhang An, and Wang Lin took over the military affairs of Linzhou, the troops and horses that their Zhenwu Army had gathered were gradually dispersed. In the last battle of Yuanzhou, the Zhenwu Army had no chance to participate, and was even transferred in the name of preparing for war.
Move around, one at a time until you see the city gate.
Thinking of these three generals, Lao Hu felt itching with hatred. He put sacks on them and beat them with dozens of sticks. Zhang An and Wang Lin fell down. The babble was useless, but Xiang Yun was different. He did things differently.
Calm and well-born, with rich experience in leading troops, even Lao Hu had to admit that he couldn't make any mistakes...
"Look at his reputation." Lao Hu sighed. He had already outcompeted Wu Ya'er without even trying. Wu Ya'er wrote a letter a few days ago saying not to stop anyone from spreading rumors about him, and also added some
, such as asking for money from the people where the troops are stationed, and driving the people away to fight for their lives at will.
Lao Hu couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, he just felt tired.
"You've heard of husbands singing and wives singing," he murmured, "but have you ever heard of women singing, husbands accompanying themselves?"
Wu Ya'er was led astray by that woman...
The soldiers were tired of listening to Lao Hu talking to himself and ignored him. Lao Hu didn't want them to give him an answer. He grabbed the railing with his hands and looked at Xiang Yun's guard of honor with casual eyes. He came from the city gate and walked among the crowd.
On the dense road, the dense crowd was split by the guard of honor, but quickly closed again, like a pointed boat sailing in the water...
Lao Hu looked at his scattered eyes. He didn't feel anything wrong when he was in the water or the boat was in the water, but he always felt that something was wrong when he was looking down from a high place. There was a rock in the water, looming...
"Stab..." Lao Hu shouted fiercely, his unfocused eyes became sharp, pointing straight into the water like an arrow.
His sight and voice were like arrows, but the distance was still too far. As he shouted, a rock suddenly jumped out of the water. The rock jumped over the crowd, passed through the gap between the soldiers and horses passing by, and crossed the flying flag.
.....
At this time, Xiang Yun and Jiang You were talking about how happy they were.
"Although it is not satisfactory, it is actually not bad to go to Xuanwu Road." Jiang You swayed with the horse, "The governor went to Xuanwu Road to take over, and His Majesty gave the order to siege the capital, and asked Huainan Road to coordinate, and the governor can follow Huainan Road
The soldiers and horses of the generals are familiar with the training. After a year, the governor has stabilized the Xuanwu Road and the Huainan Road, and your Majesty will be able to summon the Lady of Chu away."
Xiang Yun nodded. The anger and disappointment he felt when he heard that he was not going to Huainan Road but to Xuanwu Road had been suppressed. He was a calm person, so he should take his time.
"It's good for Xiaonan," Xiang Yun said. "We, the Xiang family, don't have any soldiers and horses from our family for him. It's too dangerous to go out. It's better to come to your Majesty. He can lead troops and be guided by your Majesty. At our age,
It is different for senior officials. We can no longer be students in front of His Majesty, but Xiaonan is different. He has experienced and grown up by His Majesty's side. It can be said that he was trained by His Majesty."
Then in His Majesty's eyes, the feelings in your heart will be different. You are one of your own in Your Majesty's heart.
So far, he could clearly see that among the civil and military officials in the court, the only one his Majesty trusted in his heart was Wu Ya'er who saved his life.
"I'll give it to Xiaonan first..." Xiang Yundao said. Before he could write the letter, the corner of his eye flickered, and immediately his body went numb and he leaned back, "Stab...!
"
The short, thin sword arrived in front of him.
Like cicada wings, like willow leaves, the eyes flutter gently, making everything around him slow down.
In this slow solidification, Xiang Yun used up all his strength in his life and suddenly twisted his shoulders. With a bang, sparks flew from his shoulders.
The flying sparks burned the slowly solidifying atmosphere, causing the surrounding area to boil instantly.
The horses neighed, the shields clashed, and the weapons crashed. In an instant, soldiers and horses surrounded Xiang Yun and Jiang You like a wall. People who followed the thin swords and flew against them hit them. With a bang, they bounced back lightly and exploded in all directions.
Falling among the crowd...
"There's an assassin!"
Accompanied by this shout, the shuttle was thrown over, carrying a barbed wire...
The assassin who fell into the crowd was suddenly covered like a fish.
"kill!"
Soldiers holding spears and sickles rushed forward.
Being proficient is like having practiced it many times.
Indeed, he had practiced it many times. Xiang Yun put a hand on his shoulder in the military guard wall and looked coldly at the people struggling and tumbling in the barbed wire.
