please come back

The next morning, Zhang Ling came to General Xia's mansion.

Zhang Ling is one of Xia Heyu's direct subordinates. He said that his subordinates actually get along with Xia Heyu like friends.Zhang Ling was born as a martial artist, and he has been rolling in the military camp since he was a child. His complexion is a bit dark, but his eyes are clear and bright, and he is full of heroic spirit.

Xia Heyu naturally asked Zhang Ling to sit down, ordered his servants to serve tea, and asked straight to the point, "How is the situation in northern Xinjiang?"

"It's just some small conflicts. Those outsiders don't dare to touch us. At most, they just occasionally take risks on the frontier to gain some benefits." Zhang Ling took the tea handed over by the servant, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued Said: "It's just that the generals defending the frontier reported to me that the military rations were not enough, and they applied for allocation from the court."

Xia Heyu nodded, and said, "I do know that, the emperor has already issued an order to distribute food, and it should be enough for them to take away the embezzlement of officials from all walks of life. Just tell them to wait a little longer."

"That's good." Zhang Ling nodded, then put down the teacup and looked at Xia Heyu, hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want." Xia Heyu said helplessly after noticing Zhang Ling's expression.Don't look at Zhang Ling who looks tough, but has a side that is indecisive and not straightforward.

"General." Zhang Ling rubbed his palms together and said, "We have fewer and fewer soldiers and horses. The reinforcements sent to the frontier by the emperor these days are all sent from our side. Li Su's son The one in my hand didn’t move at all.”

"I know that too." Xia Heyu smiled, "Whoever let Li Su get close to him, blowing wind in his ear every day, no matter what, it will have some effect."

"But……"

"Okay, I have my own decision on this matter." Xia Heyu interrupted Zhang Ling with a wave of his hand, "But I came to you today not just to ask these questions."

Although Xia Heyu said so, the insects and ants in Jiang Linyuan's words emerged in his head, densely packed and a little disgusting, he stretched out his fingers and nodded his head to pour out those thoughts, and continued: "I got two good horses in the past two days. , let's go for a ride, I haven't gone hunting for a long time, my body is very loose."

As soon as Zhang Ling heard that he was going to Lieye, he immediately became interested like a child. He quickly got up and followed Xia Heyu and walked out. At this time, there were servants waiting in the yard with horses.

The two horses are really good horses, one is snow-riding and has a brown body, the other is black all over, but there is a white pattern on the forehead that looks like lightning.The eyes of the two horses are very calm. The muscles on the horses are strong, and they have the reputation of traveling thousands of miles a day.Xia Heyu gave the four-footed snow horse to Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling shirked it, but Xia Heyu couldn't help it. Finally, he happily accepted it. Together with Xia Heyu, he turned over and stepped on the horse.

Xia Heyu ordered the accompanying servants to bring some arrows and nets, and they were about to walk out of the city. Before they could take a step, Xia Heyu heard someone calling him from behind.

"General Xia, Jiang is going too." Jiang Linyuan had heard the noise in the courtyard a long time ago, watched from a distance, and only then came out.In order to gain Xia Heyu's trust as soon as possible, Jiang Linyuan decided to hang around Xia Heyu more often no matter what happened.It wasn't that Jiang Linyuan was in a hurry, but according to Yang Pei's temperament, it was reasonable to die suddenly any day. If he didn't bring down Yang Pei with his own hands, Jiang Linyuan probably would be unwilling for the rest of his life.

Xia Heyu stretched the reins and turned his head, looking at Jiang Linyuan with doubts and amusement.

"General, this is..." Zhang Ling squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Linyuan. Zhang Ling had never had a good impression of such a bookish person, so there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

Xia Heyu didn't reply to his words, but asked Jiang Linyuan, "Why are you following? Can you ride a horse?"

Jiang Linyuan glanced at the tall horses in front of him and shook his head.

Xia Heyu smiled helplessly: "Then if you want to follow, you can only run behind." Turning his head to answer Zhang Ling's words: "A new doorman, named Jiang Linyuan." After saying that, he clamped his legs Horse, shake off the rein, and the horse walked obediently, very steadily.

Seeing Xia Heyu set off, Zhang Ling quickly followed him. When he left, he turned his head to look at Jiang Linyuan, only to find that he was following the horse team in an extremely discordant way.Zhang Ling turned to Xia Heyu and said, "General, is it okay for your disciple to follow behind?"

"Then what's the matter, I still have a sedan chair to carry him?" Xia Heyu teased.

Zhang Ling smiled, "Where did this guy come from? I think he's very strange."

"I really don't know where he came from, but I guess, he won't be with him for long, he's asking for trouble, don't worry about him." Xia Heyu said.

Zhang Ling nodded, reached out to stroke the horse's mane, and said, "But this is really a good horse."

The streets and markets in the city were complicated, and the horse team moved very slowly. Jiang Linyuan could barely keep up with him when he walked, but the situation was different when he left the city.

At this moment, Jiang Linyuan felt that he was a little impulsive and impatient. Looking at the direction of the horse team, he didn't intend to chase after it. Instead, he walked slowly. He knew that these people would come back anyway.

There is a jungle outside the city. The forest is not dense, but the trees are lush and the grass is lush. It can be seen that there are many wild animals.When Jiang Linyuan walked into the forest, he could vaguely hear the voices of Xia Heyu and Zhang Ling, perhaps he had hunted something good.Unknowingly, Jiang Linyuan was a little tired and thirsty from walking, he raised his head, the sunlight piercing through the leaves made him hard to keep his eyes open, it seemed that it was noon.

Just as the weather was getting hotter, Jiang Linyuan vaguely heard movement behind him, a "hulu" sound coming from his throat, the sound was extremely subtle, but very close to him.Jiang Linyuan listened carefully, but found that the surrounding was surprisingly quiet, and the noise of Xia Heyu's team that could be heard just now could not be heard at this time, which was very eerie.

On an April day, Jiang Linyuan broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head slowly, and was covered in cold sweat again.

In the tall grass, Jiang Linyuan could clearly see a piece of white patterned animal skin exposed. Among the grass leaves, a pair of amber tiger eyes were staring at him closely. The tiger's head was raised from the grass, the tiger's mouth was slightly opened, and it confronted Jiang Linyuan.

Jiang Linyuan's palms were sweating, and he didn't dare to move. He just rubbed his feet backwards, joking in his heart that he was really destined, and white tigers were rare, so he could hit them.

No one could easily give up on the prey that was right in front of him. Seeing Jiang Linyuan's retreat, the white tiger took a step towards him. The tiger's eyes were fixed on him, and his shoulders heaved and fell with his steps, knocking on Jiang Linyuan's heart.

"The surname is Jiang."

At this moment, the grass and trees in the distance resounded, and Jiang Linyuan heard Xia Heyu's voice. The white tiger also froze for a moment, and at this moment, several horses galloped at top speed, surrounding him and the white tiger.

Jiang Linyuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head to look at Xia Heyu, but saw that he just untied his bow and quiver and threw them not far away from him without expression, but he didn't have the slightest intention to rescue him .

One person and one tiger, it is a good show under siege.
