Duan Jingyang, the head coach of the Xueqing Army stationed at Jiatongguan, had long received the news that they were coming, but no one had been seen for a long time. He was very anxious, fearing that something might happen to them on the way, so he sent a team ten days ago.
A small team of more than 200 people went to respond.
After receiving the news today, he immediately led several generals under his command to the gate of Neiguan to greet him.
When he saw Xiao Muting standing on the horse, he was a thirty-two-year-old man with tears in his eyes.
He turned over and dismounted, ran over quickly, knelt on one knee in front of him, clasped his fists and said: "General Duan Jingyang, please greet your highness!"
"Thank you, Old Duan." Xiao Muting looked at him with a smile.
Duan Jingyang shook his head vigorously: "Why did your Highness say this? It's not hard for my subordinates. It is the duty of a soldier to guard the country's gate. Your Highness, please quickly enter the customs and see what old Duan is guarding. I'm satisfied."
"If I am not satisfied, what are your plans?" Xiao Muting asked with a smile.
Duan Jingyang stood up and pointed back to the direction of the door: "Old Duan led his troops and fought directly to seize their Yinling Valley. As long as His Highness gives the order, Old Duan will capture the entire Xiyuan Kingdom."
Xiao Muting laughed loudly and pointed at him: "You old Duan, you are still so straight-tempered, but I am very pleased to see that you have not gone too far. Old Duan, don't worry, I said
If so, I will definitely count him down, and when the time comes, I will personally escort Gretegar in front of you and let you do whatever you want."
"Lao Duan has never doubted His Highness, but he still doesn't understand. Why did His Highness come to Jiatongguan when he is not staying in the beautiful and bustling Baifeng City? His subordinates are not so worried about His Highness, or who?
My talkative grandson is suing me again." Duan Jingyang said in a loud and rough voice.
Xiao Muting immediately put away his smile and frowned at him: "Duan Jingyang, why haven't you learned your lesson yet? What kind of temper is this? You get angry when you say you are angry. You call me "I" in front of this king. Are you itchy?
?”
Duan Jingyang immediately realized what he was doing and knelt down on one knee again, clasping his fists and saying, "My subordinate realized that he was wrong. He was angry for a moment and forgot the rules."
"You have forgotten the rules. You clearly don't understand. You don't learn when I ask you to learn. Fortunately, you are here. If this were in the capital, you would have died eight times." Xiao Muting scolded him coldly.
.
Duan Jingyang was not angry at all, but actually laughed: "Hey, I asked my subordinates to go back, but they didn't even come back. That place is suitable for eating people, and this is the place for my subordinates. His Highness also knows that, so he let me go."
Here..."
"Don't be so playful, I'm so old, why haven't you made any progress at all? Look at those who are younger than you and who joined the army later than you, all have been promoted above you, you don't know how to worry..." Xiao Muting turned white again.
He glanced at it.
Duan Jingyang really didn't care and shook his head with a naive smile: "Returning to Your Highness, Lao Duan is really not anxious or worried at all. They are all capable people, and they are all as shrewd as monkeys. In this regard,
Lao Duan feels inferior and has never wanted to compare with them. Their promotion is their own merit. Lao Duan is never jealous because they are indeed better than Lao Duan..."
"You are really... Okay, please lead the way into the customs. If I continue to talk to you, I will make you vomit blood." Xiao Muting immediately waved his hand and said impatiently.
Duan Jingyang immediately stood up, stepped forward and took the reins of his horse, and led his horse towards the pass. As he walked, he smiled and introduced to his accompanying men: "This is our wise man."
His majesty, bravery and fearlessness, His Highness King Chen, who scares the enemy, is my master!"
Xiao Muting poked his helmet with the riding crop in her hand: "Can you be normal and not afraid of being laughed at by your soldiers? You are stupid."
Duan Jingyang was still smiling, and looked back at him with great pride and pride: "Your Highness, none of those brats are treated like this and can be poked in the head by you..."
"Oh...I'm going..." Xiao Muting covered her face with one hand, not knowing what to say.
But the laughter around them is getting louder and louder. Everyone knows that the commander of the Xue Qing Army stationed in Jiatong Pass is a very brave general, but who knows, he is still a fool. This man is too funny.
, the person who can make Xiao Muting so helpless is also a capable person.
Su Han was also smiling, but his eyes were always fixed on Duan Jingyang. The contrast between him and her was probably too great.
I had heard about his deeds before. He had been stationed at Jiatongguan for two years, and the Xiyuan Kingdom was not allowed to get close to the Jiatongguan city. All his records were complete victories. This man was resourceful and brave, and even scared the Xiyuan Kingdom.
But she never expected that when she met Xiao Muting, he would be so honest and honest, so cute.
After entering the customs, Duan Jingyang wanted to take them directly to the military camp, but Su Han coughed lightly at this time.
Xiao Muting said: "Go to the pass first."
Only then did Jingyang notice the "kid" who had been following Xiao Muting, wearing the same color and style of clothing as him, but he reacted quickly and immediately understood who this person was.
Seeing him smiling at Su Han to please him, Xiao Muting snorted coldly: "Has the horse you paid attention to been found?"
He immediately said seriously: "Yes, when we received the news, we sent a business trip to the opposite side. Moreover, we have received the news five days ago and will arrive at the pass later tomorrow night."
"How much?" Xiao Muting nodded with satisfaction.
Duan Jingyang grinned awkwardly: "It didn't go well this time. It wasn't as much as expected. The main reason was that it was already autumn. The Western Yuan Dynasty had already started to move its capital a month ago, and all the excellent horses were moved out with it.
Yes, I only got 500 horses."
"Five hundred?" Xiao Muting frowned.
"But I have already told the people over there, asking them to try their best to catch up with the horse farmers who have moved out, and get another two thousand horses back. No, I don't know... whether it is enough. If not, I will give the order again!
"Duan Jingyang looked at him carefully and answered.
Xiao Muting pointed at him again with the riding whip in his hand, and clicked again and again: "On weekdays, I can just brag nonsense, and then you brought back 500 horses for me, which is not enough to equip a Cangluan. You really let me do it."
This king is so embarrassed."
"Then I immediately ordered them to get it again. I can't blame my subordinates for this. We chose the wrong time. If it was spring, let alone two thousand, I could get back ten thousand. If I try harder, I can get it back.
We can bring back all the horses in the Western Yuan Kingdom." Duan Jingyang became more and more confident as he spoke, and his voice became louder.
"Five hundred is a lot. It's really the wrong time for us to ask for it." Su Han also helped.
Xiao Muting immediately turned to look at her: "Don't be fooled by his honest appearance. What this boy is best at is pretending to be stupid. There are many people who have suffered from him, including me. Don't listen to his nonsense.
blow."
"I think General Duan is an honest man and will not be like this. Even if he wants to fool someone, he will definitely not fool His Highness. I think if we wait a few more days, we will definitely see the following two thousand horses.
." Su Han smiled at him.
Xiao Muting immediately looked knowingly at Duan Jingyang, who was staring at the two of them curiously: "What do you say, can you?"
"Yes! It must be possible! I can guarantee it. If not, I will send all the five thousand war horses in my army to His Highness!" Duan Jingyang immediately said loudly, patting his chest, for fear that he would not believe it.
"I heard it, he said yes!" Xiao Muting already laughed when he looked back at Su Han.
"Thank you so much, General Duan." Su Han also fisted him at this time.
Standing on the tower of Jiatongguan, looking at the endless prairie outside the pass, Su Han opened his arms to feel the vastness.
Only then did Duan Jingyang realize that he seemed to have been plotted by the little princess.
