Traveling in winter is the hardest, especially as the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.

Not to mention riding a horse for a day in heavy snow, it takes less than a quarter of an hour between gallops, and the cold wind in your face can blow all your exposed skin stiff and numb.But the battle was urgent, and there was no time for Tang Zhao and the others to take a carriage to the Northland slowly, so from the day they set off, they spent most of the day on horseback in the cold wind.

And along the way, Duke Xian, who had been slandering Tang Zhao a lot, finally changed his opinion of her—not to mention whether Tang Zhao is capable or not, at least she can endure hardship, and her temper is not bad, so The supervising army is much better than he thought.

Afterwards, they rushed all the way to the Northland, taking over the army that was ordered to gather along the way. When Tang Zhao and his party stepped into the Northland, there was already a mighty [-] army gathered behind them.

Although the garrisons in various places are good and bad, but after the rectification by Duke Xian, at least they look enough to scare people.

In the evening, seeing another snowstorm approaching, Duke Xian ordered the army to seek shelter from the wind and set up camp temporarily.No one is idle at this time, setting up camps, lighting fires and cooking, arranging defensive patrols, and arranging night guards... Even Tang Zhao also started to get busy for his later residence by himself.

This is not the first time Duke Xian saw Tang Zhao set up a tent. He strolled past and finally couldn't hold back his cough and asked, "Tang Jianjun, I heard that you are also a literati with an imperial examination background. Are literati able to set up tents now?" ?”

Hearing this, Tang Zhao didn't stop moving his hands, skillfully tied two thick sticks together, and replied casually: "That's not true, I just learned something from an elder when I was young."

Duke Xian was a little curious when he heard this: "You don't study hard, what are you doing?"

Tang Zhao stood up the tied wooden stick, and tentatively poked the frozen dirt: "Actually, if I tell you, you might not believe me, old man, but I was going to be a general at the beginning. It's incidental."

Duke Xian really didn't believe it, his wrinkled face showed surprise, and his eyes turned around Tang Zhao again—although people can't be judged by their appearance, but to be honest, Tang Zhao still wants to be a general with his small body. Then the elders who taught her are not out of their minds, right?

It was probably because the colleagues have become more familiar these days, and Duke Xian thought about it, so he asked, "What did your elder think?"

Tang Zhao smiled, and casually brushed off the question. After all, it was not easy to answer. In her previous life, as the heir of Duke Ding, it was inevitable that she would become a general, and she had no choice at all.

Dingguogong is different from Xianguogong.Xian Guogong was an old man who followed the Tai | Ancestor to fight the country when the country was founded. up.But Duke Ding followed Emperor Wuxing unswervingly when he seized the throne. Later, he did not say that chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, at least he was so trusted that he held the military power until now.

The Duke's Mansion, which is also from Wu Xun's background, has the military power to continue, so naturally it needs a son who can lead the army.This is not the case for the Duke of Xianguo, who lost their military power a long time ago, had to find another way out, so the son has abandoned martial arts and followed literature.

Speaking of this crop, Song Yang has to be mentioned.The reason why he was able to use the name of the Duke's Mansion as a civil servant to bluff and deceive him was precisely because the Duke of Xian's Mansion had a son who was a civil servant. Others would not think that he had long since cut off the possibility of becoming a son, so they underestimated him. he.

The topic got a little farther away, and now Duke Xian and Tang Zhao exchanged a few words, but they also became interested in talking.

He squatted beside Tang Zhao, handing Tang Zhao the tools, and asked, "Then what have you learned from your elders? Come on, come on, we are about to fight side by side on the battlefield, the so-called knowing the enemy and the confidant , You also talk about your own skills."

Tang Zhao laughed when he heard the words, and thought that the supervising army didn't need to go to the battlefield.However, this conversation with Duke Xian was intentionally led to this point by her, so she followed the good advice, and even said without shame: "The art of war, the martial arts of riding and archery, all involved." Said: "If the Duke doesn't believe it, you can test me."

Mr. Xian Guo thought she was talking big, but after hearing this, he suddenly regained his energy: "Well, I will test you."

Afterwards, the two asked and answered each other. Mr. Xian's questions ranged from simple to tricky, and Tang Zhao was able to answer eight out of ten without haste.The remaining one or two points are something that people who have never joined the army will never be able to answer.Tang Zhaoyou tentatively answered according to Duke Ding's teaching, but the result was not satisfactory, but it was enough to surprise Duke Xian.

In the busy and quiet camp, Duke Xian's loud voice suddenly came: "Okay, boy, you are really good." After speaking, he attracted everyone's attention, and he said with a look of pity: "A good general seedling, why don't I went to take the imperial examination and became a son-in-law?!"

Tang Zhao can still understand the first sentence, but as for the second sentence—Old Duke, are you really not afraid that His Royal Highness will find you to settle accounts after hearing the wind? !

With that day's comparison, Duke Xian's view of Tang Zhao completely changed.When he was on the road again, he always took the time to talk to Tang Zhao, or to test or give advice. Those who didn't know thought that the old Duke brought a nephew by his side to teach him personally.

Duke Xian is old, but has few successors, so he is really happy to guide his younger generations.

Tang Zhao watched, the other party was very interested in training her to be a general, but she herself was noncommittal.However, it is not a bad thing to learn something from the elders, so the two get along very well.

Until one day, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the army was unable to march and finally had time to spare. Duke Xian went to Tang Zhao with a sword in hand.

Naturally, it is not to find fault. In fact, Xian Guogong has never forgotten what Tang Zhao said at the beginning, "The art of war, the martial arts of riding and archery".The former talked about it. During this period of time, Mr. Xian Guo also passed the exam and taught, but there is no chance to verify the second half of the sentence. Although Mr. Xian looked at Tang Zhao’s small body, he always felt that she was vulnerable. But what if he was mistaken?

So it was rare to have free time, Duke Xian didn't even go to rest to relieve the exhaustion of the march, but couldn't wait to come to the door, and wanted to test Tang Zhao himself again: "Boy, try your skills with the old man today."

When he went out to fight, Tang Zhao also wore light armor and a sword. He heard that his slender fingers clasped lightly on the hilt of the sword: "If the old Duke invites you, then I will offend you."

Duke Xian liked her straightforwardness, and the two of them found an open place to fight regardless of the heavy snow outside.

It has been a year and a half since Tang Zhao was reborn, and his skills have not recovered, but at least seven or eight points have been recovered.Although Xian Guogong is a veteran, experienced and skilled, but after all, he is over seventy years old, and he is no longer as powerful as when he was at the peak.

In such a fight between two people, you come and I go to fight evenly.

The sound of "ping pong pong pong" clashing weapons spread far away, and the soldiers who were still sheltering from the snow and cold in their tents were also alarmed when they heard the movement.Not long after, three circles inside and three circles outside were surrounded by water, and it was blood boiling in the cold weather.

I don't know who took the lead and shouted "Okay", and then the scene became lively in an instant.

Tang Zhao and Xian Guogong were not playing monkey games, and as the main generals, they had to pay more attention to dignity, so they stopped fighting after a while.Tang Zhao took the initiative to admit defeat and said: "The general is always strong and strong, and he is not as good as a low-level official."

Duke Xian withdrew his sword with his backhand, but looked at Tang Zhao with deep meaning: "The Tang supervisor is too modest. Let's go, let's talk."

After this lecture, Xian Guogong obviously had something to say, but it was difficult to say it in front of everyone.The surrounding soldiers who had been watching the excitement consciously moved out of the way when they heard the words, and Tang Zhao followed after raising his eyebrows slightly.

The two returned to the camp again. Tang Zhao followed Xian Guogong as soon as he stepped into the tent and heard him ask, "Who taught you martial arts?"

Tang Zhao lowered his eyes when he heard the question, but did not take the initiative to answer.

Sure enough, Duke Xian recognized her skill, and seeing that she did not answer, he said firmly: "Your sword technique is the martial art of Duke Ding. Did he teach you, or did you learn it secretly?!" He denied it himself: "At your age, where did you learn it secretly? He must have taught you. But it's all right, how could his family's martial arts teach you an outsider?"

Duke Xian was puzzled as he spoke, staring at Tang Zhao for a while, and suddenly thought: "Could it be that you are the illegitimate son of Duke Ding?" Song Ting, even the Eldest Princess married you..."

The more he said this, the more outrageous it became. Although Tang Zhao deliberately lured Xian Guogong to think about Ding Guogong, he never thought about giving himself the name of an illegitimate child.Not to mention Mingda, speaking as if she used herself as her substitute.

Anyway it feels weird.

Tang Zhao immediately raised his hand to interrupt Duke Xian's unreliable speculation, and said, "Old Duke, you are worrying too much. Because of my ability, I also regard Ding Guogong as a teacher in my heart." After a slight pause, he said: "This time Ding Guogong died in Beidi, and I also want to avenge him here."

After hearing the words, Duke Xian stared at Tang Zhao for a while, and seeing that the hatred in her eyes did not seem to be fake, he gradually believed it in his heart.

Just mentioning Dingguogong, Xianguogong couldn't help but want to sigh for him - Dingguogong is still young, at least much younger than him, but he is ahead of him.This is more than that, ten years earlier, Ding Guogong's son was gone, and now the Guogong's mansion has not even decided on an heir.It is conceivable that what Duke Ding's sons will have to fight for this title in the future, the Duke's mansion will soon decline.

Perhaps it was an inexplicable feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. When Duke Xian looked at Tang Zhao again, there were more emotions in his eyes: "You can remember the kindness of teaching, Duke Ding did not teach you in vain."

Xian Guogong's words were regarded as an acknowledgment of Tang Zhao's identity, and then he went to the North to meet the Northern Army, and he also took the initiative to introduce Tang Zhao to others as Ding Guogong's disciple.And with Xian Guogong's endorsement, it is naturally much easier for Tang Zhao to integrate into the Northern Army.

Tang Zhao has no intention of seizing power in the army, but the battlefield changes rapidly, so he must be on guard.

The author has something to say: Tang Zhao (preparing for a rainy day): Although he has changed his shell, he still has to borrow his father's power!

S: It will be delivered by the second update tonight, but it will depend on the situation tomorrow morning.
