"tread!"
Wei Jun's team was jumping off the horse, looked left and right, raised his hand to stop the subordinates who wanted to go forward, held the long sword by himself, and cautiously moved slowly towards the person sitting among the corpses. Slowly leaned over.
When the wind is strong, the smell of blood can be blown far away, and the stench in the air makes people frown. The corpse lying next to him made Wei Junzheng not relax because of Gu Nan's appearance.
Holding the long sword in front of him, he walked up to Gu Nan, looked up and down at Gu Nan's attire and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you Han Chinese?"
As he said that, the long sword in his hand was already aimed at Gu Nan, as long as she made any changes, even if she was a Han, he would not show mercy.
Gu Nan didn't care about the long sword facing her, but looked at the armor of this team, which was the armor of Wei Jun. The style is basically the same as before, but it has changed in many places, making it impossible for her to recognize it for a while.
She was silent for a while, lowering her voice with internal force.
"Are you the army horses of the imperial court?"
Looking at the person in front of him who looked like a woman, when he spoke with a heavy male voice, even though these scouts were all in the battle line, they were still stunned for a while.
She looked at Gu Nan in a daze, at her long hair scattered behind her back, her somewhat thin body, and her face still stained with a little blood.
This is a man?
······
Shuobei Frontier Fortress, the Wei army has been stationed here for more than half a month, but they have no plans to march for the past half month. According to the commander's order, they have been staying at the border to inquire about the movements of the Turks.
Soldiers on patrol in the barracks passed by the road, and when they had nothing to do, they would always chat a few words in a low voice.
What's more, in the past few days, there are a lot of gossip in the barracks.
"Hey." A soldier walking in the front whispered to the people behind him.
"Have you heard that a team of scouts brought back a ranger from the desert yesterday?"
Although the homophones are common in middle schools nowadays, it is their own native dialect after all, and they always have some accents when chatting with each other.
"I heard that, and I also heard that the ranger killed more than 20 Turkic cavalry one by one with one sword."
The person behind had a stern face and said seriously, which caused a small exclamation.
"Good guy, it's true that one person has one sword, can this kill the cavalry?"
"I heard people say that it seems to be true, not to mention Yijia, and there are no horses."
"Hey." Just as several people were talking endlessly about this man who had killed twenty people, a veteran who had been walking aside and hadn't said a word suddenly laughed twice.
"I've seen that man with my own eyes. When Boy Wang's team of scouts came back, I happened to be guarding the gate, so I happened to catch a glimpse of that Ranger."
His words immediately aroused the interest of the soldiers, and they asked in low voices.
"What does it look like?"
"Are you as tall as two or three people just because of your body?"
"What about the sword, but it's as big as a door panel?"
The old soldier's smile restrained for a moment, his expression was complicated, and there was a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he was thinking about how to describe it. After a while, he said deeply.
"It's the first time I've seen a man more beautiful than the general."
···
In a barracks, a man wearing a general's robe was sitting next to a table.
His figure is not so muscular, but slender and well-proportioned, it is a kind of just feeling, neither fat nor thin. And his appearance, but people don't know what to say, if you insist, it is the kind of appearance that can make women feel ashamed.
Shame is shame, he is really handsome, shame is shame, he is probably more beautiful than a woman. Red lips and white teeth, a pair of willow eyebrows are as if drawn lightly with a pen, and a pair of eyes seem to make people look at them for a long time.
At this time, the general was flipping through the documents sent by the scouts.
After reading the first few pages, his eyes fell on the last paragraph, which was written by the document. This time in the desert, in addition to finding out some news about the Turks, they also met a man who brought him back to the army.
This man was a ranger in the desert. When they met him, they happened to see the Turkic cavalry who had killed more than 20 people by himself, so they brought them back.
In addition to the simple description of the ranger's appearance and the current situation in these documents, of course these generals did not read it with confidence.
"Twenty or so riders." The general held the document with a trace of surprise on his expression.
The people who came to the frontier this time were all elite troops from the Great Wei Dynasty. If nothing else, it would be very difficult to hurt them with the poor knives of the well-armored Turkic people.
Even so, when his most elite soldiers were fully armed, it was hard to say that he could kill more than 20 Turkic cavalry by himself, let alone without armor and horses.
The document said that this man was a ranger from the frontier fortress, and he traveled outside the fortress all year round.
"He's a righteous man." With a slight smile, the general put down the paperwork: "I can go and see you when the time comes. If you are willing to join the army, that would be a good thing."
······
Although he was brought to the barracks by several scouts, Gu Nan had nowhere to go, let alone something urgent to do, so he followed without any resistance.
When I arrived at the barracks, I was arranged to wait in a barracks. It was delicious and delicious, at least the food was hot, and I didn't have to pay for it myself.
She stayed here for two days, probably in the evening of the second day, two soldiers came to call her and took her to a school field.
Before she entered the school grounds, she felt a bit of chill from a distance. Looking up, there was a group of soldiers standing in the center of the school grounds, about four to five hundred people, with a long gun standing beside them, and their bodies were tight. Stretched, facing a person standing in front of the army.
That man was wearing a general armor and a cloak, so he should be the general of this army.
Gu Nan walked into the school field under the leadership of two soldiers. The moment she stepped into the school field, the four or five hundred people moved their eyes away and landed on her.
A chill came over, but Gu Nan just looked back at them lightly and nodded.
This army is good, with a bit of courage.
He should have heard her footsteps, and the general turned around.
Seeing that general, Gu Nan raised her brows, she couldn't tell whether the general was a man or a woman. And the general was also taken aback, he probably felt the same way when he looked at Gu Nan.
If it hadn't been mentioned in the scout's documents that Gu Nan was a man, he would have thought that what he saw was a beautiful woman. Looking at Gu Nan's appearance, he was in a daze for a while unconsciously.
But then he realized his impoliteness and looked away. He himself was often looked at like this, and he knew the helplessness in it.
He stopped paying attention to Gu Nan's appearance, but smiled and said.
"I think brother is the righteous man who beheaded twenty Turkic knights."
"I'm next, Gu Nan." Gu Nan reported his name, and bowed slightly: "I've seen the general."
She won't stay here for a long time, and she will leave in about a year or so sooner, so it doesn't matter if her name is reported, and she won't be involved in anything.
Hearing that Gu Nan's voice was indeed a man's, the general nodded his head, glanced at Gu Nan up and down, thought to himself, neither humble nor overbearing, it really is a chivalrous demeanor, he smiled and saluted.
"My name is Gao Changgong, and I am the chief general of this army at this time."
He didn't mention his official position, and even his status was simply mentioned. He didn't mean to use his official status to overwhelm Gu Nan, but he seemed much more peaceful.
Gao Changgong, the name Gu Nan sounds familiar, but it may be too long ago. Her memory of history has faded too much, and she can no longer remember who this name is.
The two chatted briefly, Gao Changgong turned his head to look at the army formation behind him, and asked Gu Nan.
"How does Brother Gu think of me in this army?"
Facing the army formation in awe, his eyes showed a look of pride. It is with such military power that Dawei can make the aliens dare not act rashly.
"Very good." Gu Nan nodded, telling the truth.
Gao Changgong's smile deepened. He was happier hearing others praise his military formation than hearing others praise him.
Suddenly, he said.
"I heard that brother Gu is a ranger outside the pass. I have one thing I want to ask brother for help. I wonder if brother can help me?"
Gu Nan looked at Gao Changgong suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
Stretching out his hand, Gao Changgong picked up a jug of wine next to him. Drinking is actually not allowed when marching, but today is an exception. Anyway, he is the chief general, and no one else knows.
He poured two bowls of wine and handed one of them to Gu Nan.
"Together with me, how about pointing the sword at Mobei and sweeping away the captives?"
