Since the butler came, the dishes on the general and his wife's table have changed a lot. Every meal has meat and vegetables, not too delicate, but the taste is not to be chosen.After a few days, Shen Chensheng felt that he had gained weight, but the housekeeper sighed and shook his head every time he saw him and the general, seeing their eyes were extremely loving.

"housekeeper."

The old butler hurriedly packed up the small package after hearing the words: "Ma'am."

Shen Chen looked at the little burden behind him calmly, and asked, "Did you see Wang Meng?"

"No..." the housekeeper said halfway, recalling the small group of people he saw just now, and changed his words again, "Oh, I saw him go out with Vice-General Wang."

Shen Chen nodded, his eyes swept over the baggage hidden by the butler with a vague look.The butler was so nervous that he sweated, and when Shen Chen finally left, the butler heaved a sigh of relief, took out a small bundle from behind, opened it, and counted carefully: "There are only three pieces of jerky left, what's the matter?" What to do?"

After a few days of marching, the undulating mountains and ridges can no longer be seen around, and the wasteland that cannot be seen has become the main scenery.It was still early at this time, and the sky presented a magnificent scene of two colors of blue, black and orange.

"Fat man."

The fat man who was arranging his equipment turned his head and smiled at Shen Chen: "Madam got up so early?"

Looking around, Shen Chen saw the silent round-faced child, who was pursing his lips and tightening the belt of his trousers.Seeing Shen Chen looking at him, he stood up and nodded to him.Shen Chen also nodded, turned back to the fat man and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Today, after marching for a few more miles, we will enter the desert. There is already little food. The general ordered me to prepare some while I can still find some food in the mountains."

A gray mountain ridge stretched away in the distance, Shen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at it: "I'll go with you."

"It can't be done!" The fat man chuckled, "There are many wild animals in the mountains, so it's not safe."

Shen Chen is just an idler, he doesn't know how to lead soldiers, and he has learned the skills of a three-legged cat.He has always wanted to do something for Zhan Yang, and hunting is not a big deal, not to mention that there are so many people together, Shen Chen feels that there is nothing to worry about.

He patted the fat man on the shoulder: "Wait for me for a quarter of an hour, and I will come as soon as I go."

"Hey..." Seeing Shen Chen running away in a hurry, the fat man summoned Wang Meng, "You follow and have a look, you must let the general know about this."

"Yes."

Shen Chen excitedly ran back to the tent, quickly changed his clothes and was about to rush out.Zhan Yang quickly grabbed him with his eyes and said, "Where are you going?"

"General, let me go hunting with them!" Shen Chen stared at Zhan Yang with excitement in his eyes.

Seeing the energetic smile at the corner of his mouth, Zhan Yang hesitated for a moment, then pulled him into the tent.Seeing that he was silent, the excitement in Shen Chen's heart sank little by little, and he pursed his lips to watch Zhan Yang rummaging through the bedside cabinet.

"Take it with you."

A short knife was handed to Shen Chen. It had a rattan handle and a simple scabbard. Just by looking at it, you could tell it was an amazing weapon.

Shen Chen took it happily, surprised at the weight of the dagger: "So heavy?" When he drew out the knife, the blade was pitch black, unlike other knives with a cold light: "Huh?" Shen Chen cast doubtful eyes on Zhan Yang.

Zhan Yang nodded, took the short knife and played around flexibly: "My black gold knife is a mother-in-law knife. It is a bit heavy, so be careful when using it." Handing the scabbard back to Shen Chen, Zhan Yang urged .

"Understood, I'll bring you delicious food when I come back!" Shen Chen hung the knife on his waist, which was the same set as the general's black gold knife. Thinking of this, Shen Chen felt very happy.Turning around, walking a few steps and then turning back, staring at Zhan Yang for a while, suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek: "Wait for me to come back."

When Shen Chen walked away, a person walked out from the corner, with the corner of his mouth turned up, and said to Zhan Yang who was staring at Shen Chen's back in a daze: "This is the one who made you change your plan?" His tone was very disdainful, this The words almost came out of his nose.

Seeing that Zhan Yang was silent, he continued: "Since he is so precious, why are you willing to let him be the bait?"

Today is the last day, and there will be great changes in the military camp in the plan, and the team that went out to hunt at this time will become the number one suspect in this turmoil without hesitation.The black blind man doesn't understand, if Zhan Yang really loves Shen Chen, why would he be willing to let him go? Doesn't he know that the couple will be hunted down by many people in the future?

No one would answer his question, Zhan Yang withdrew his gaze, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body.

The plants on this mountain are far from being as lush as they look from a distance, perhaps because of the dry weather, most of the plants on the mountain are short shrubs with withered and yellow weeds that creak when stepped on.

Shen Chen frowned and looked around. I'm afraid there won't be many beasts on such a mountain, right?

"Divide into three teams and gather here in the evening!" The fat man raised his voice, and tied the cloth towel for wiping sweat around his neck to a slightly higher crooked neck tree.

The others had made an appointment before, and went to the top of the mountain together in twos and threes.Shen Chen looked at Wang Meng with a round face, then at the fat man, and finally decided to go with Wang Meng.

"What can you catch, rabbit?" Shen Chen asked in a low voice after following Wang Meng.

They were also in a group with a tall, thin young man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, but they were too dark.Hearing Shen Chen's words, the man turned his head and smiled at him, showing his white teeth: "Is Madam afraid of snakes?"

"Snake?" Goosebumps appeared on Shen Chen's back, and he trembled: "Don't let me touch it, it's slippery and disgusting."

The dark-skinned kid laughed twice, and said in a low voice, "This place has the most snakes, rabbits, and rats. Madam, be careful of poisonous snakes..."

"Hush!" Wang Meng suddenly squatted down, staring straight ahead.

Shen Chen was startled by his surprise, and squatted down, following his gaze, there was a hole not far away, and a gray rabbit stuck its head out from the hole and turned its head vigilantly. ear.

Wang Meng stared at the rabbit, touched a small stone on the ground with his hand, put it between his index finger and thumb, bent his finger, and popped it towards the rabbit's head.There was only a slight sound of breaking through the air, the rabbit shrank its head, and a small hole appeared under its ear, and the stone penetrated through it.

"Amazing!" Shen Chen couldn't help applauding.

The dark-skinned kid ran over and picked up the rabbit and shook it at the two of them. Shen Chen narrowed his eyes happily, and turned to look at Wang Meng, only to see him frowning, looking preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Although Wang Meng didn't like to talk usually, it was rare to see him like this.

Wang Meng shook his head, glanced at Shen Chen, and said lightly, "Let's go."

Shen Chen and the dark-skinned boy looked at each other, both of them were puzzled.However, the joy of winning the first battle made the two of them quickly forget that little unhappiness, and they continued to hunt lightly.

As the days went west, a group of people talked and laughed and walked back after meeting.Although today is not a bumper harvest, there are quite a lot of prey hunted, and everyone has a lot of them.They also caught a lot of snakes and put them in a big bag.

"This snake meat is boiled into soup, which is the best delicacy in the world!" A veteran said with a smack of his mouth.

"Isn't the best pork butt meat you've ever eaten? How can you be credible when you say it's top-notch?" Others unceremoniously dismantled him.

Shen Chen was in a great mood, sitting lazily on the horseback listening to a group of soldiers chatting.He also caught a pheasant today, thinking of going back to give it to the housekeeper, let him stew it well, the fragrant chicken soup is his favorite!Thinking of the old butler's craftsmanship, Shen Chen was so greedy that he drooled.

The barracks could be seen by turning over the small mountain ridge in front, Shen Chen couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and when he turned over the mountain ridge, he couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes.

Half of the barracks was engulfed in the fire, and in the light of the fire, he could faintly see people fleeing in all directions, and he could still hear screams and cries for help from such a distance.

There was only a short moment of silence, "What's the matter?" Someone roared, Shen Chen subconsciously turned his head to look at the fat man, and saw him staring at the barracks engulfed by the fire with a heavy expression, with fire shining in his eyes.

"Go!" He didn't say much, turned his horse's head and took the lead to find another way to drive down the mountain.

Wang Meng followed behind him silently, Shen Chen saw the reaction of the two of them, and had a bad premonition in his heart, they knew what they did today.

Shen Chen was not a well-trained soldier, the other soldiers followed after seeing the lieutenant nodded and left without asking any further questions.Shen Chen held the rein and stayed where he was, his always gentle eyes looked coldly at the leaving team.

The fat man walked a few steps and found that Shen Chen wasn't following, so he turned back to look at him: "Madam, follow."

"Where are you going?" He didn't believe that the fat man would go back to rescue him, and his intuition told him that they came out early for other reasons.

"Ma'am, don't ask too much, I won't hurt you in the end." The fat man lowered his expression and said seriously.

There was a short silence between the two, Shen Chen turned his head to look at the burning barracks, and asked a question: "Where is the general?"

After speaking, he saw the fat man's eyes flicker.Needless to say, he knew that Zhan Yang's actions this time did not count him.No wonder Zhan Yang agreed to let him participate in hunting so easily. It was all planned?

"I'm a scholar, so I don't hold back Vice-General Wang anymore, there will be a period later!" Shen Chen turned his horse's head and galloped down the mountain.

As if predicting that Shen Chen would not obediently follow him, the fat man winked at Wang Meng, Wang Meng nodded, and rode his horse to follow Shen Chen.

"Let's go!" Fatty swung his whip, and a group of people galloped in the opposite direction to Shen Chen.

The cold wind was blowing on the cheeks, and there was a faint smell of burning in the air.Shen Chen stared fixedly at the flames in the distance, wishing that the best horse could ride against the wind.

The road back to the camp was not smooth sailing, and Shen Chen was surrounded when he went down the mountain.Shen Chen secretly clenched the dagger at his waist, tensed his nerves, and carefully guarded against the person who appeared suddenly.
