Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Second
The military camp is not big, about three or four miles away from the official road, with a slightly higher terrain, and the camp gate does not face the road, but turns a bend and set on a gentle slope. It is a towering wooden building with houses of large and small sizes in the camp, which seems to have existed for a long time.
Han Xing, the chief general of the military commander, introduced: "This is one of the twelve new military camps in the capital. This one specializes in training infantry. I stayed here for a few days when I was a teenager. I haven't been here for a long time and my appearance has not changed."
"A military commander-in-chief can be trained in a few days. It's amazing." King Donghai finally rode on the horse, but he was still tired. He really wanted to rush into the military camp immediately and find Zhang Shu to lie down. Even if he wanted to change the emperor, he wouldn't think about it anymore.
"Haha, I was already a captain of the Southern Army at that time. I entered the new military camp to take charge of the instrument depot, not for training." Han Xing looked up at the military camp gatehouse, with a lot of thoughts.
"Why no one came out to greet you, the Grand Commander of the Army?" King Donghai also looked at the gatehouse, and the soldiers on it were vaguely visible.
"I asked everything to be simple. We don't enter the military camp, so why bother the generals to come out to greet us? The rebel army stayed here temporarily, Juehou, Donghai King, let me go to the city with me."
The new military camp is not far from the capital. If there is no tree blocking it, you can clearly see the city wall. On the official road several miles away is a small town, with dense populations and noises occasionally coming.
Han Ruzi and Donghai Wang looked along Han Xing's fingers and found that there was a temporary camp behind a forest on the side of the road, surrounded by wooden fences. It was not built houses, but tents.
"Just let the rebels live in such a place?" Donghai asked in surprise.
"There are many rules in the military camp. I'm afraid I won't get used to it when the rebels were first established, so I'm just staying in the outside camp for a while. After the formal establishment and the flags and weapons are assigned, I will have my own camp and there is no need to move into the new military camp."
King Donghai looked at Han Ruzi. He had already reminded him that he should not enter the city, as it would be difficult to get out again if he entered.
Han Ruzi looked at her clothes and said, "I can't enter the city like this. I'll send someone to the mansion to ask for some clothes back later. I'll come to the city to thank you tomorrow."
Tokai Neptune nodded slightly, but felt that this excuse was really bad enough.
Han Xing was slightly stunned, "After Jue enters the city, you can go home first, and you will be in the palace tomorrow to thank you."
Han Ruzi shook her head, "The Governor said I'm the first in the world, but how can I meet people like this? Let's wait for one night."
Han Xing smiled and said, "Junhou is thinking too much. Well, since Juunhou insists on this, then go to the city tomorrow. I have to go back to the palace to report my life. Let's leave ten guards to guard the camp gate for the rebels to prevent idle people from entering indiscriminately."
"So good." Han Ruzi said politely.
Han Xing watched the rebels enter the temporary camp, then turned his horse's head and led the guards back to the city.
For Yi Bing, who is used to living in thatched huts, the tent is a fresh thing and does not feel simple at all. Jin Chunzhong and Chao Hua assigned tents, almost one team and one heading, arranging orders of orders and duty, and then dinner started.
The food was delivered from the new military camp, and it was simple. Rice, millet, vegetables and meat were cooked into a paste, and it was enough to eat. Since the full meal last night, the rebels had not eaten yet. They held the hot porridge and ate it very delicious.
Han Ruzi and Donghai King were accidentally kept, so the new military camp did not prepare the top-quality dishes. The food they ate was the same as the soldiers, and they stood at the door of the tent, guarding the big pot of rice with the guards.
King Donghai began to disagree, "There must be food for the generals in the new military camp, and maybe wine, so let them deliver it."
Han Ruzi felt that there was no need to worry, so she served a bowl and ate it.
After smelling the aroma of the rice for a while, Donghai King couldn't help but serve a bowl and ate it half a bowl. After swallowing it all, he said, "It tastes pretty good, but the oil and water are less. The chef in Cui's house can make a stewed dish, and it also stir-fry it in a mess. However, the ingredients are particular, and there is no need for rice and flour. The meat should be fried with the remaining meat from yesterday, and the dishes are fresh. Don't be afraid, are you a chef, can you eat this kind of thing?"
Han Ruzi ate a big bowl, and saw that it was dark, so she said to the person who accompanied her to eat: "I want to ask you to do something for me."
"Yeah." I didn't have the chance to eat two big bowls, and I was not picky at all.
"Go to Juanhou's mansion and bring me some clean clothes. When asked about my condition, please tell me the truth."
"Okay." Let's get up and leave without any chance.
King Donghai was surprised, "You really want to enter the city tomorrow?"
"You have to wear clean clothes if you enter the city."
King Donghai felt it was reasonable and wanted to stop him, but the chef had already walked away.
More than 700 people ate the food cleanly, and the pots were almost wiped. They were delivered to the camp gate and were taken away by the leader of the new military camp.
The maid dragonfly from the Jin Mansion came from a distance. The innermost tent she and the lady lived in was surrounded by women and children from the Chao Fishing Village. Like King Donghai, she stared at her back that was desperate to leave, came to Han Ruzi and asked, "Who is that person?"
"He? He told me to be dead."
"Hey, a good name. Since it's called "Not alive, why can you survive until now?"
"Because... he is a chef, no one is willing to kill him. Why did you suddenly ask him?"
"No, I've been watching you for a long time, and I've been here until he leaves. Last night, we tracked the people of the Chai family and found that they came to attack Hebianzhai again. The one who led the lead was Yan Qilang. We were few and wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first. If Yan Qilang was caught, he could not only force the enemy to retreat, but also avenge the fisherman Chao..."
"He is the chief clerk of the rebel army."
"Well, Master Chao. But there are many people around Yan Qilang, and we haven't found a chance. Suddenly it rained, and it was pitch black all around, which put out the fire. When the rain was halfway down, guess what?" The dragonfly stopped suddenly like a story.
"Someone has sent Yan Qilang to you?" Han Ruzi guessed.
"Hey, did you see it? Or did you say it to you if you don't want to die?"
"He said nothing, he caught Yan Qilang?"
"The lady said it must be him. He didn't show up last night. He left Yan Qilang and disappeared. The lady said that he must be a strange man, so he asked me to ask for his name. It turned out that he was still a chef, which was interesting." Dragonfly did not say goodbye and turned around and left.
Shortly after nightfall, the camp could not walk at will. Jin Chunzhong knew the rules and ordered the righteous soldiers to enter the tent to rest. If he got up at night, he would report his name and command to the patrol soldiers.
Han Ruzi and Donghai share a tent, which is also the treatment of ordinary soldiers: a thin felt blanket is covered with a foot-high haystack. The only benefit is that it is wide enough to lie down on one left and one right.
Han Ruzi was exhausted and didn't want to move after lying down.
The opposite King Donghai poked and poked here and there, and it took a while to sit down, "Is this also a place for people to sleep?"
"The vast majority of people in the Great Chu have a million soldiers, and they are probably eating and living in this way. In the future, when we go to the northern border, we have to eat and live with our soldiers and share the joys and sorrows. Now we have to get used to it."
"Hey, eat and live together, share the joys and sorrows. The military books are just talking about it. I have entered the military camp. Not to mention generals, even ordinary sixth and seventh-rank officials, there are all kinds of residences, even women. Do you believe it?"
Han Ruzi smiled but said nothing, he just wanted to sleep quietly.
The new military camp took good care of the neighbors and sent a lot of hot water. After the march, you can not take a bath, but you must wash your feet. No matter how tired Han Ruzi sat up, she would sit up and soak her feet. The heat gushed up and felt comfortable all over.
King Donghai hummed twice, "At home, others wash my feet, let your guards or those stupid women in the village come to help. They are not soldiers, so living in the camp must be of some use."
There was no candle in the tent, and Han Ruzi yawned and said, "There are more difficult days in the future, so get used to it first. By the way, why do you think the Queen Mother will not let me go? She has already appointed me as the general of Zhenbei."
"This is obvious." The King of Donghai's voice raised and immediately lowered. "The court often uses this trick. First, he will hold you steady. After you have completely controlled you, he will issue an edict, saying that you will write a letter to ask for battle. 'The courage is commendable. I can't bear to take the risk of the marquis, and wait for it to be reused in the future.' Then he will be appointed to the official position, from a general to a general, but you can't leave. In the past, you can still go out and wander around. From now on, you will be under house arrest in the mansion and cannot leave the door for half a step. If you want to say that you will stay with me for life, you can go back to the city, but you don't know how long this "lifelong" can last. The Empress Dowager is unhappy one day, or the little emperor is worried when he grows up, he will definitely find an excuse to poison you to death."
"Have you ever had this kind of thing before?"
"Haha, I have even imitated similar edicts. I have told you that I have been preparing to be an emperor since I was a child, but it's a pity...ah."
"But Korean stars don't mean to force me to enter the city."
"Of course not. Korean stars are famous good people. The Queen Mother sent him to confuse you. Naturally, they won't use force. You can watch it tomorrow. I guess the person who came will no longer be Korean stars."
Han Ruzi thought for a while, "It's not okay to stay outside the city. If the Empress Dowager really doesn't want me to go to Northern Xinjiang, what should I do?"
Donghai King didn't care about the roughness of the shop and lay down, "Then I don't know, you have to find a way for yourself."
Han Ruzi smiled and said, "You are still thinking about Grand Tutor Cui, are you?"
King Donghai snorted coldly, "It was his mistake not to kill me. Since he wanted to be ruthless..." King Donghai would not continue to talk about it, he would not tell anyone about the plan in advance, especially not revealing it to Han Ruzi.
"Yang Feng also told me that he should not go back to Beijing, maybe I should get it with him."
"Don't be stupid. Yang Feng is now assisting Champion Hou. It's not you. He told you not to return to Beijing. It's just to deal with the Queen Mother. If you go to join him, you will leave the tiger's den and go into the wolf's den. Don't forget that Champion Hou wanted to kill you last night. He dared not, but he is willing to hold you in his hand."
Han Ruzi believed in Yang Feng more, but also felt that this was not a good opportunity to join him. One day, Yang Feng should be allowed to join him.
Han Ruzi was so tired that she fell asleep without thinking of a solution. The same was true for the King of Donghai opposite, and she didn't even know when the guards would take away the foot wash.
In contrast to the two of them's sound sleep, on this night, several people closely related to them did not sleep all night.
