Vicissitudes know Jinhua

After Qi Wushang arrived at Hunluo Mountain, there were fast horses to find Prince Bahai and he arrived at dusk. He immediately ordered the Yongliang army to remove the traces of the horse's trampling. Shoot with arrows and crossbows, and then charge down.

The first day of the confrontation between the two armies, Prince Bahai was caught off guard, the fast horse and heavy sword hadn't found a place to use it, and more than half of them were killed and injured. He ran away and went home to cry with his father.

The prince ran away and cursed inwardly, Qi Wushang is so worthless!How can there be such a reason in the world for him to bypass his Shelu Pass to grab some things and be chased and hacked!It seems that we must rectify our troops, and fight Sheluguan well, so that the gang of Ninggou will be terrified, and we will be regarded as the prince of pulling the sea blessed by the gods if we capture the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou!

When Dai Xihui's army arrived, it was the early morning of the next day, but there were fresh corpses lying all over the ground among dozens of unextinguished bonfires. They were all uninjured and set up a floating camp on the mountainside, capable of attacking and defending, seeing their arrival , ordered the sergeant to cut off the head of the dead body and take away the bow and arrow armor.

As for those captured civilians, they rushed back to their hometown with their belongings overnight.

Mu Zishi galloped for a day and a night, and only rested for two hours on the way. Now he wanted to get off his horse and check the register. He tried to step on the pedals, but his waist and legs felt numb.

Qi Wushang watched him happily from a distance, and didn't step forward to help, Mu Zishi was so angry that he was stubborn, stretched out his hand and pulled out one foot, rolled on the saddle and wanted to throw himself off the ground.

Qi Wushang was startled, he rode his horse straight towards him, bent down on the horse's back, stretched the ape's arms lightly, caught it at the waist, and shouted: "What a bad temper you are!"

Holding it in front of his saddle, he said, "If you rolled down just now, that's fine. You just broke a bone. If you kicked backwards and couldn't get rid of it, you could be dragged to death by the horse... Do you know that!"

Mu Zishi turned his head, with a sly smile on his face: "I know you can catch me, isn't it all right?"

Qi Wushang was startled, shook his head and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with you."

After counting and repacking, 4000 men and horses marched back to the city, but there was no need to hurry back. An army of this size, even if the barbarians attacked in full force, could resist for a while.

Along the way, they came across one or two small bands of barbarian scouts. Qi Wushang didn't hesitate to surround them and slaughter them. They were all used as military training, and their heads were all cut off.

Mu Zishi looked at the numerous heads hanging beside the saddles of a group of horses, and couldn't help frowning: "I have recorded who killed how many enemies. What are these heads going to do with them? Cook brain soup?"

Qi Wushang smiled and said: "Bring these heads back to the city, a row of wooden poles will be nailed outside the city, and they will be hung high."

Mu Zishi was stunned and said, "Shock the barbarians?"

Qi Wushang nodded, and there was a ruthlessness in his words: "The brains of the barbarians are no different from those of wild animals. They pretend to either rob or kill. They always feel that wherever they can go is their territory. The people, horses and cattle on the territory Sheep are gifts given to them by the gods, and they have an unusually tough and bloodthirsty temperament. Due to the changes in the Dajing Palace these years, my father had to be safe and put the defense first, so the barbarians became more and more brutal. I have to give them some Take a look, suppress their arrogance first!"

Mu Zishi lightly smiled and said, "First subdue his will and fear his heart, and then break his army and behead his dog's head. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

Qi Wushang said: "For the victory in the ambush on Hunluo Mountain, you write a note and submit it to Chenjing!"

The spring breeze was warm, Mu Zishi squinted his eyes, he was in a good mood, but he said: "Why am I writing again? I'm just a mere district chief, and the military chief doesn't have enough hands, so why bother using me."

"Your papers are well written. No one can catch up. It is said that the emperor specially reads your memorial every time. As for food and money, no one is better than you, dares to ask, and wants to get it." ..."

Qi Wushang said this out of emotion. He once read a brochure asking for money written by Mu Zishi. After reading it, he almost burst into tears. Respect, his ambition is strong, and the whole book is filled with a kind of: Your Majesty, the whole army is ready to go, the ambition is high, the wind is bleak, the water is cold, and the grassland will not be returned until the grassland is broken. You only need to transfer this batch of money. If the money is not available, the soldiers of Yongliang will be sad day and night. Although they can't eat enough and their armor is not enough to keep out the cold, they still wish they could kill the enemy and become benevolent for the country.

Qi Wushang was very glad that he was not the emperor, otherwise, seeing such a memorial, he would first have to die of joy, then come back to life with self-blame, and then come to life with emotion, and finally come back to life with excitement—— Salary.

He boasted sincerely, but Mu Zishi didn't like to hear it, and interrupted angrily: "Then I will be able to search for people's fat and anointing full-time in the future."

Qi Wushang laughed loudly, and put his hand on his shoulder: "How can you be a greedy person? If it wasn't for Yongliang's hundred thousand cavalry, mountains of gold and seas of silver piled up in front of you, you wouldn't even have raised your eyebrows."

Mu Zishi suppressed a smile with a stern face: "This is more or less..."

Looking at the army, which is as stable as a mountain and as fast as the wind, he couldn't help saying: "Enough food and pay, and clear rewards and punishments. No wonder the Yongliang army is the most elite among the Daning army... No injury, you are very different from General Yu Chan .”

Qi Wushang naturally understood what he was referring to, and sighed: "Grand General Yu Chan's strategy of war is unrivaled in the world, but his embezzlement of military pay is also second to none. Many years ago when I went to Beijing with my father, he said in a private banquet that raising soldiers Just like raising hounds, you have to be hungry on weekdays, but in wartime, if you lure them with generous rewards, they will naturally fight hard."

Because Yu Jianguan occupied Qi Wushang, Mu Zishi didn't even have a good impression of Yu Chan, so he sneered for a while and said: "General Yu is drinking the blood of the soldiers, but it makes sense? Although the sergeant sold his life to the country , but there are also parents, wives and children who need support... I heard that the military pay in the two states of Yunxi is only paid for six months a year. If you are fearful but disrespectful, how can you single-mindedly fight for the country? Even if you are a dog, if you are in a hurry, you will eat the Lord!"

Qi Wushang is extremely strict in commanding the army but he also loves the soldiers. Mu Zishi's words are right at the heart of the matter, and he was about to praise a few words in his heart, when he turned his head and glanced sharply, he saw Mu Zishi's eyebrows twitching. She looked at her, her lips curled slightly, and a pair of dark green eyes looked at her for a moment, the cleanness of Xintong Chenlu.

I used to know that he was smart and cunning since he was a child, and he had the beauty of being a pearl. I have been under my wings for a long time, and all kinds of him are only blooming in the places I can see, so I am very happy and at ease, but I will not try to hold him tightly, and then take possession of him exclusively .

But at this moment, at a glance, as if enlightened by divine will, Qi Wushang had an instant comprehension.

Mu Zishi... that kid who used to ride on his shoulder to eat candy man is really no longer a child, and I can no longer treat him as a child.

At this time, the grass on the field is green, tall and short, like gentle undulating waves, and some unknown wild flowers bloom among the green grass, rustling and moving, like colorful fish in the sea, Bright colors flash with the wind, which has a lively meaning.

Qi Wushang's palms were sweating, and he knew in his heart that his feelings for Mu Zishi had already changed into another kind, deeper and more intertwined, becoming natural, like time and water, suddenly becoming like a silver bottle suddenly broken , became quiet, the spring rain fell into the night, and it also became sudden, a leaf startled autumn.

This change was caught off guard and accumulated slowly. The arrow is on the string and the water will come naturally. Although it is unknown whether it is joy or sorrow, it has taken root as God's will and destiny.

Qi Wushang didn't have a procrastinating temper, so he encouraged himself and said immediately: "Zi Shi, I have something to tell you."

Mu Zishi reined in his horse and sighed, "You'd better talk to General Dai first."

Qi Wushang turned his head and saw that Dai Xihui was following closely behind him, with a deadpan face, he usually felt stable and reliable, but now he was unspeakably annoying, so he had to ask him first: "When are you coming over?" of?"

Mu Zishi sighed again: "When you were in a daze just now, General Dai came over and wanted to ask you about camping."

Qi Wushang saw that the sun had set slightly to the west, so he immediately sent an order: "There are mounds and rivers in the first twenty miles. The army was stationed before, and there was a ready-made outer ditch for wood plowing. When the former army arrived, they dug the inner ditch. , Set up a camp, leave the east road to pass, divide 200 people to garrison the high place of the mound, 50 people to watch the upper reaches of the water source, bury the pot to make food, and let everyone rest!"

Dai Xihui took the order to make detailed arrangements. Mu Zishi let out a long breath and complained softly, "I'll lie down when I get there! My thighs are going to be worn out!"

Qi Wushang didn't feel distressed, and said: "It's enough to grind it a few times. When I was a child, when I first learned horse fighting, my father was so ruthless that my teeth were almost crushed. When I returned to the camp, my pants were torn and half of my ass was bleeding." ..."

Muzi Shiyao thought about Qi Wushang Baozi's half-pull butt face, and he was overjoyed: "Your mother didn't stop me either? I heard she doesn't want you to enter the barracks."

Mentioning this sad past, Qi Wushang still had lingering fears: "Of course she didn't like it. Because of the pain in my buttocks, I couldn't ride a horse, so she hung a strip of white silk to force me to read the Four Books and Five Classics. If I didn't, she would hang herself. The result was even worse. Well, within a few days, my palm was also swollen from my mother's beating!"

Mu Zishi wondered: "You are not very stupid, can't you memorize a few books?"

Qi Wushang said: "I can understand all those books, but I don't want to memorize them word for word. What's the point? I like to read military books, and I also like to read more miscellaneous books, which make me shake my head every day in the study. Memorizing and writing, it would be better to just kill with a knife... Later, when Mr. Zhang gave a lecture, I secretly made a saltpetre crossbow, and the crossbow accidentally fell out of my hand, and it barely brushed Mr.'s beard..."

Mu Zishi laughed so much that his legs ached and he forgot: "The saltpeter in the arrow must have set fire to Chibi, sir, while talking and laughing, his beard was wiped out?"

"Isn't it... Mister, five strands of long hair must be burned! Do you think my mother can't beat me?"

After chatting and laughing, when they arrived at the camp, Mu Zishi followed Qi Wushang to live in the tent of the Chinese army, and the sentry checked to find out that the water source was clean, so the army went downstream to drink horses, and went upstream to fetch water for cooking.

When camping outside, drinking water is extremely important, which can be called life and death. According to legend, the famous general Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty died of an illness because the Huns polluted the water source with plague-killed cattle and sheep.

Qi Wushang is the prince leading the army, he is more or less particular about it, after he settles down and fills his stomach, his own soldiers will boil water, and he does not know where to find a big wooden bucket, mix cold and hot water, and prepare soap towels, please respectfully The prince will take a bath for a while.

The prince chased away the soldiers, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and respectfully asked Master Mu to undress with a smile: "Let's go together, this bucket is big enough!"

Mu Zishi flatly refused: "No!"

Qi Wushang looked at him with great interest: "It's not like you haven't bathed with me before, why are you embarrassed?"

Mu Zishi sneered: "Who said I'm embarrassed? You are too dirty, smell of blood and sweat... I don't want to roll in a bucket with a sweaty horse!"

Qi Wushang casually patted his face: "Thanks to your kindness, you have compared me to a bloody horse!"

He said again: "Why don't you wash it first? After washing, I soaked a towel in hot water and covered the sore thighs for you. I have to go back to the city tomorrow."

Mu Zishi hesitated for a moment, quickly took off his clothes and dived into the water. The water temperature was just right, and his body, which was about to fall apart, sank in. He was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep. He leaned his head against the side of the bucket, and suddenly Thinking of something, he asked lazily: "Wu Shang, you just had something to say to me, but you were disturbed by Dai Xihui, can you tell me now?"

There were some drops of water on his face, he was really attractive, Qi Wushang watched quietly from the side, with a strange peace in his heart, but smiled: "It's nothing... I'll tell you slowly later."

Mu Zishi lowered his head in a daze for a long time, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and said: "Why wait later? You told me directly about everything before."

Qi Wushang picked up a lock of his hair, rubbed it slowly and washed it off, his movements were gentle and calm, and said: "This matter is no small matter, if I tell you now, it will be deceiving you... There must be a suitable time.”

Compared with Yingrui Feiyang when he was a boy, Qi Wushang in front of him has more awe-inspiring and obedient aura, Mu Zishi hummed lightly, and stopped talking.

After washing his hair, Qi Wushang went out and ordered Qiu Si to arrange the night watch camp, and brought in another bucket of boiling water himself, and Mu Zishi was lying neatly on the floor.

Qi Wushang smiled and said: "Aren't your thighs about to be worn out? I haven't covered them for you yet, why are you getting dressed in such a hurry?"

Mu Zishi lazily said: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back to the city tomorrow, you are clumsy, you didn't break your skin, maybe you scratched it."

Qi Wushang wrung out a hot towel, and when he approached, he couldn't help but peel off his pants. Mu Zishi was shocked, as if his tail was burned by the fire, he turned over and wanted to get up, but it was a pity that he met Qi Wushang Injured, one hand easily pushed him down again like playing: "Lie down!"

Mu Zishi laughed and got angry, kicked his feet and shouted: "Let go of me... Be careful, I will refer to you when I write the book!"

Qi Wushang was surprised to hear this, and said with a smile: "Okay, but what are you doing with me?"

As he said that, he tore off his trousers, and saw that the inner thighs were indeed slightly swollen, and the color was also pinkish red, so he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "You're just doing my job...Look, your whole body, except for your head, is full of blood. It's not useful."

Mu Zishi gritted his teeth with hatred: "You don't even use your head! Talking to you is like insulting the cow and playing the piano..."

He slapped a hot towel on the swollen and painful area, and didn't know whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable. Mu Zishi shuddered, his eye circles were red, and with a hiss, he gritted his teeth patiently: "Take it easy!"

Qi Wushang said: "Don't be coquettish!"

The movements of his hands were a little softer.

Now that he was skinless, shameless, and shameless, Mu Zishi felt that there was nothing to care about, and simply let him do what he did, and he was too lazy to lose his bones and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and felt his rough fingertips delicately run over a spot of skin, felt a little uneasy in a daze, and moved slightly, only to hear Qi Wushang's strangely deep voice: "Zi Shi, what's going on here?" hurt?"
