HCB Chapter 206 5 Soldiers
Chapter 206 5 Soldiers
A magical scene appeared in the forest that day. Everyone lined up with their delicious food in hand and touched the three tigers one by one.
The secret guards sent by the emperor had been keeping an eye on Xia Yining. When they saw an extra tiger, they wrote a secret letter about the food and the orange cat and sent it back to the capital at an emergency speed of 800 miles.
At the same time, in the frontier army, Shan Xingyan's capable secret guard knelt in the big tent with a letter in his hand. General Shan looked at the contents of the letter and couldn't help but frowning.
His tone was slightly fierce, and he said loudly: "This is really a mess. The war on the border is tense. How can the emperor allow the elderly, women and children to come? This will only cause more trouble."
"And the left prime minister is the same. It is rumored in the capital that he loves his wife and daughter the most, but he actually joined in the nonsense. It is simply unreasonable."
The secret guard knelt on the ground without raising his head. He knew his masters too well.
Sure enough, the next sentence was heard.
"Come on, have someone build a few large tents next to the main tent. Use the best of everything. Also tell the chef to prepare more hot water."
"Select another 5,000 generals to follow me to receive military rations and welcome the nobleman."
When they heard that the rations had arrived, the people in the big tent brightened up and said quickly, "General, please let me go too. I will make sure that the rations are brought back safely."
"And me, and me. Old General, look at me, look at me."
"Let's go, let's go. The barracks are busy right now. There's no place for so many people to go. It's better for me to go with you."
The main account, which had been serious just a moment ago, was now like a vegetable market, with several deputy generals pulling each other. If it weren't for General Shan who was stabilizing the situation, the two sides would have fought.
Secret guard: “…”
I shouldn't be in the tent, I should be outside the tent. The lieutenants are still so noisy. It's another day when I feel sorry for my master.
General Shan: “…”
It's so embarrassing, really so embarrassing. If the Prime Minister's wife sees this scene after arriving at the military camp, will he still be able to maintain his reputation as a wise man?
"Okay, stop making trouble. How can you all be so careless? Where is the dignity of our frontier army?"
"You are all in the barracks, concentrate on defending against the enemy, I will go there myself."
The situation was urgent, so General Shan led five thousand soldiers and galloped on horseback under the gaze of many people, without stopping all the way.
After the meal, Xia Yining and others returned to the carriage to rest, and several masters of the Xia family guarded the carriage.
Master Xia suddenly opened his eyes, lay on the ground and listened for a long time. After confirming his thoughts, he said, "Someone is coming. Judging from the footsteps and the frequency of the ground shaking, there are quite a few people."
"Send someone to the front to see who it is. If it's General Shan, let him lead the way."
It was very dark at night, with only a few piles of firewood burning in the woods.
Out of sight of everyone, someone responded, "Yes, Master."
At the same time, Chi Yan opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zi climbing on him using her hands and feet, with suspicious saliva at the corners of her mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
He gently placed her next to Ning'er, and when he got off the carriage, he saw that the four masters of the Xia family were still awake. He praised them in his heart, saying that they were quite vigilant.
The Seventh Master of the Xia Family looked at him and felt that his aura was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He politely bowed and asked, "Where is Brother Yan's home, and why is he in the borderland?"
Red Flame: “(●￣(?)￣●)”
For Ning'er's sake, I'll just say a few words. He said in a clear and cold voice, "Xiaotian Village."
Several masters of the Xia family: "???"
They were completely confused by his answer; they had never seen such a person when they were in the village.
Helplessly, Chi Yan continued, "I came here with Dabai and Xiaobai, and followed your convoy all the way. I was moving very slowly."
Their conversation attracted everyone's attention, and many of them listened with their ears perked up. Seeing the young man's impolite complaints, they felt very dissatisfied.
What's slow? It's obviously fast!
It's almost time for take-off and the horses are so tired and thin. You are really lying.
Master Xia felt that the person in front of him was unfathomable and gave him a very dangerous feeling, as if he was being stared at by some sacred thing.
In the past few decades in Nanxu Kingdom, the young man in red in front of her was the first person who gave her such a feeling.
Before they could say anything else, the deafening sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and everyone's attention was drawn to it and they no longer dwelled on the matter.
Chi Yan raised his hand casually, and a ray of red light flew out from his hand, covering the carriage of Xia Yining and others.
This scene was seen clearly by the Xia brothers who were closest to him.
The second master of the Xia family suddenly had an idea in his mind, and thanked it in a very respectful tone.
Seeing how their second brother acted, the others became more friendly toward Chi Yan. The older brothers were the smartest in the family.
It doesn’t matter if they are slow in thinking, they just have to do what their older brother does.
The second brother has no rules in dealing with people. Unless someone is particularly capable, Brother Yan must have something extraordinary to be treated with respect by him.
Chi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the Xia family had brought up their children very well, and smiled lightly.
Shan Xingyan's secret guard came back first, and after seeing the masters of the Xia family nodded, he used light skills to go deep into the forest.
Following closely behind was the large army. General Shan was already in his fifties or sixties, with silver hair and a spear with a red tassel. There was a wolfish light in his eyes, and he looked to be in good spirits.
Everyone respected the old general who dedicated his entire life to the frontier from the bottom of their hearts, and they all stood straight and bowed.
"Meet General Shan."
The first thing that caught his eye when he was sitting on the horse was Chi Yan. Just by looking at each other's eyes, his heart trembled several times. Based on his many years of experience on the battlefield, he knew that this young man was definitely not annoying.
He smiled and bowed to the people around him, saying, "You are too polite. I am just an old man with one foot in the coffin. What's the point of calling me an old general?"
"You have all worked hard on this journey, but... you all look very energetic, very good, you are indeed good men of Nanxu Country."
Master Xia bowed and said, "I am honored to meet General Shan. You are a great hero known to the world. I dare not act rashly in front of you."
"You must have had a hard time coming all the way here. Why don't you dismount and have a meal first?"
He took into account the shortage of food and clothing in the border areas, and these people must be hungry if they came here so quickly. Anyway, there were so many people eating wild boars, so he stewed a few pots and had a full meal.
When the soldiers saw the wild boars, their eyes turned green. They were so hungry that they kept swallowing their saliva.
As for why the wild boar was so well-behaved, lying there motionless, they completely ignored it.
General Shan looked at his soldiers and felt bad. He dismounted quickly and saluted the Xia family members, saying, "I will not be polite to you. We are really running out of food in this border area."
