Chapter 229 Return (1)

"Camp, make rice, rest. After an hour, we set out again."

A series of orders came from Jiang Kongming's mouth, while all the soldiers carried out meticulously.

Since leaving the battlefield, for some reason, the tens of thousands of troops of Kuobaying stopped pursuing the absolute advantage of the number of people.

Since there were no pursuers, they naturally did not need to leave in a hurry.

The 20,000 army is a powerful force that cannot be underestimated. At least on the road to Wolong City, no Hun troops can pose a fatal threat to them.

However, Jiang Kongming believed in Zhuge Kongming's cautious attitude in everything on weekdays, and still looked cautious, as if he was facing a great enemy. The number of spies and whistles and horses was three times that of daily marching.

During this period, he did not return the command of this army to Fang Lingchen, and all the orders were conveyed from him. Fang Lingchen did not make any strange words about this, at least, on the surface, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Xu Haifeng sat opposite Jiang Kongming. The food in front of them was just some dough cakes, but these dough cakes made of coarse grains were already the highest-grade food in the army.

Because he rushed out of the siege, he could not carry a large amount of supplies at all. Each person had only a little dry food, and after a few days of marching, there was nothing left.

The food of 20,000 people is not a small amount, and it cannot be reduced out of thin air. If you want to get supplies, you must pass through large towns. At this time, most areas in the north were under the control of the Huns. Although they obeyed the orders of Hami Tsai and did not commit more murders, and the rebound of the people was not strong, in name, they were no longer the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The two of them took the dough cakes casually and ate slowly with clear water.

Jiang Kongming closed his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart that the several goals he had planned for this trip to northern Xinjiang were not achieved, which surprised him.

Although the 20,000 troops in the Red Ocean are fashionable and under his control, they are destined to hand over to the hands of the Shin Ming. Is this new force joining? Is it a blessing or a disaster?

The only three brothers in the Fang family are now Fang Lingchen, but this stubborn old guy should not be ignored. It would be great if the lord came one step later.

The 20,000 Iron Cavalry who has experienced many battles, felt very painful when he thought of this.

Whether it was Kuobaying's marching speed or the strength of the Red Ocean Army, it exceeded his highest evaluation, and such changes really made him unacceptable.

He sighed deeply. Even the real Zhuge Kongming had a mistake in Jieting, let alone him as a fake. The so-called plan for people and success in heaven is indeed reasonable.

There was a commotion coming from the outside of the team. Xu Haifeng turned his head and looked around. Jiang Kongming was out of sight, so he took out his telescope. After a moment, he smiled happily: "Good boy, I did a good job, but I came back so soon."

Several mule carts rushed towards the army, and the leader was Jin Guanghua. As early as last night, Jiang Kongming assigned him to take thousands of soldiers to the surrounding townships to buy food. However, their purchases were a little more domineering, and they identified the largest house in the township and forced their way in. Regardless of whether the owner was willing or not, they would forcibly buy half of the food.

Of course, they will leave a full amount of silver. However, in this chaos, the rise in prices is not within their considerations.

Although the gentry did not object on the spot due to the face of these wolves and tiger soldiers, when they turned around and left, the smiling faces that were careful immediately changed to a completely different expression, and they cursed loudly.

"How many things have you made?" As soon as Jin Guanghua handed over the task and came to their side, Jiang Kongming asked immediately.

"Many." The generous northern man said excitedly: "Mr. Military Advisor, this time, you guessed wrong."

Jiang Kongming looked at him inexplicably. Although he had the ability to read his mind, he was good at using the sword. When facing this rude and there was no need to pretend, he would not bother to use this tiring ability.

"What's wrong?" Xu Haifeng asked curiously. Jiang Kongming's actions were wrong. This was an extremely rare thing.

Jin Guanghua said loudly: "Not everyone refuses to take out the food as you expected from the military advisor."

Jiang Kongming was slightly stunned and asked, "Someone is willing to sell food?"

"No, it's a gift." Jin Guanghua reached out and pointed to the mule cart behind and said, "We searched for a day and only forced to buy 30% of the food, but when we arrived in a small town, they heard that we were the Red Ocean, and immediately gave away most of the food in the town and allocated ten mule carts, so we would come back so soon."

"Are they nothing?" Jiang Kongming asked suspiciously. He didn't believe that there were such good people in this world.

Jin Guanghua shook his head heavily and said, "Mr. Military Advisor, they asked us to do something."

"What's the matter?" Xu Haifeng asked lightly.

Jiang Kongming sneered in his heart, knowing that there is no free lunch in the world, and he doesn't know what requests they would make. Because they were so aware and handed over the food, as long as they did not make excessive demands, Jiang Grand Military Advisor would naturally consider it slightly.

Jin Guanghua suddenly bit his lips heavily. When he let go, there were already a row of tooth marks visible on his lower lip: "They asked us to drive the Huns back."

The sneer on Jiang Kongming's face suddenly frozen. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.

No matter how smart he is, he would never have imagined that the requirements of these ordinary townsmen were so simple and so direct. They did not even consider their own interests at all.

Is human nature evil? Is it true that human nature is good?

At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in Jiang Kongming's utilitarian mind.

It seemed that Xu Haifeng did not speak, but a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes.

On the periphery of the army, the two were slowly walking side by side. When the patrol soldiers saw them, they all looked respectful. They were Lu Yangming, who was in charge of Kuaijianmen and Lin Yixing, the owner of Meilin Villa.

Fang Lingchen's breakthrough battle was extremely difficult. The two of them followed Fang Lingchen into battle and experienced life and death. The trident composed of these three first-class masters was majestic and unstoppable in the battlefield. If it weren't for this, they might not have been able to successfully break through the 30,000 troops of Kuobaying.

After this battle, the two of them established a high prestige in the army. Therefore, although they did not have an official position, all soldiers who saw them would bow spontaneously.

They walked out of the barracks and came to an uninhabited grassland.

For these two guest officials, the regulations that the military camps should not enter and exit at will are not suitable. This is the privilege given to them by Jiang Kongming and a manifestation of respect for them.

Although they cannot be compared with the top masters like Xu Haifeng, their status as a first-rate is enough to make people feel awe.

"Brother Lu, you seem to be very familiar with the military career. Have you ever been a soldier before?" Lin Yixing asked. The two families were enemies and knew each other well. In his memory, Lu Yangming had never joined the army.

After the battle between life and death, especially after Lu Yangming saved his life, the relationship between them had a subtle change. Although it cannot be said that they were as close as brothers, it was by no means the first time to confront each other.

"Oh... I have never been a soldier, but I have indeed been in the military camp for many years." Lu Yangming remembered the past and sighed.

Lin Yixing said oh, his eyes full of inquisitive expressions.

"Actually, it's nothing. Over the past few decades, the Huns have invaded several times. Every time, we have to cooperate with the Kuaijian Sect. After a long time, we will naturally become familiar with each other." Lu Yangming explained.

"It turns out that Brother Lu is a regular visitor in the army, I admire him." Lin Yixing was quite surprised and complimented.

Lu Yangming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not just our Kuaijianmen family, but how many people in the martial arts world in the northern region have buried their bones here. Over the past few hundred years, there have been countless."

Lin Yixing was sad when he heard him, and knew that he remembered his son who died in the battle in Beijiang. However, the pain of losing his son should be persuaded. He thought for a moment and changed the topic: "Brother Lu, I have something unknown, I want to ask for advice."

"Please talk..." Lu Yangming glanced at him unexpectedly and said.

Lin Yixing looked at his face with his eyes and asked, "I just want to know why Brother Lu will save his life in the chaos army. This seems to be inconsistent with Brother Lu's usual behavior."

Lu Yangming glanced at him, there was no slight hostility in his eyes, and the only thing he could read was sincere gratitude and a trace of doubt.

With a slight smile, Lu Yang said, "I don't know."

"What?" Lin Yixing asked in surprise.

"At that time, the situation was too chaotic, and I didn't know that the person I saved was you." Lu Yangming said lightly.

"Is that right?" Lin Yixing didn't believe his words of invocation at all. The situation was indeed very chaotic at that time, but who is Lu Yang famous? How could he not even tell the difference between the people he saved?

The suspicious look on his face gradually faded away, and he gradually felt a little angry. It was just because of the other party's life-saving grace, but it could not happen no matter what.

Lu Yangming turned his head and turned a blind eye to his dissatisfaction.

With a long tone, Lu Yangming left strode away. His words came from afar, but there was unexpected firmness in the small voice: "I only saved comrades in the army, comrades in the army who were bloody on the battlefield with me."

Lin Yixing was stunned. His body seemed to tremble in the breeze. He murmured these two words: "Comrades-in-arms...comrades-in-arms?"
