Military camp.
The sun was setting in the west. Although it was already afternoon, the heat in the air had not yet dissipated. There was not a breath of wind, the dust was flying, and the smell of sweat was everywhere.
The soldiers were busy moving bricks and mixing cement.
It's not the soldiers' fault. The weather was extremely hot and the work was tiring. They were already sweating profusely. Some of them had been busy all day and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Gu Wei looked at the strategic map in Wu Daqiang's hand, his eyes full of admiration, "Are these all proposed by Xie Zhubo?"
Wu Daqiang nodded, "Lingya...it was all suggested by Master Xie, you are really resourceful."
As the two were talking, they saw three tall carriages driving towards them on the yellow mud road in the distance, with great momentum and raising a cloud of dust.
Gu Wei recognized that the leading horse was the spiritual horse in Xie Ling's space. He raised his eyebrows slightly and wondered why A Ling was here?
Under the gorgeous golden sunset, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly pulled open, revealing a pretty girl's face, who gently waved to Gu Wei.
The people around only saw a gentle smile flashing in the eyes of the county magistrate, who was dressed in a neat official uniform. He then ran over in two steps, not caring about his dignity and demeanor at all.
There is only the girl in his heart and eyes.
Everyone exclaimed that they were truly a perfect couple.
Wu Daqiang clicked his tongue, thinking that young people nowadays were really shameless. Then he saw his wife standing at the front of a carriage behind him and waving at him.
His eyes lit up and he ran over quickly, twice as fast as Gu Wei.
Shouted:
"Madam—"
He completely forgot that he had just complained about Xie Ling and Gu Wei in his mind.
Xie Ling pointed to the wooden barrel behind him and said, "No matter what happens, just nod your head and don't worry about anything. Do you understand?"
Gu Wei curled his lips, "My wife, I obey your orders."
Then he looked at the big wooden barrel behind Xie Ling. There was a round lid on top, and he didn't know what was inside.
Xie Ling felt numb all over by Gu Wei's gentle tone, but she couldn't control the sweetness in her heart. She cleared her throat and said, "Why don't you move down quickly? There's shade over there. Move over there."
On the other side, Wu Daqiang was so excited when he heard what his wife said, "Really? Soldiers can have cold drinks? Don't lie to me, right?"
Madam Wu slapped Wu Daqiang on the head and said, "Why would I lie to you? Quickly move all the barrels to the shade of the trees."
Wu Daqiang was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, "Okay, okay!"
Gu Wei had just moved all the barrels over, and before he could see what was inside, a yamen runner came running over and shouted, "Sir, sir, hurry back to the county government, there's something important going on!"
Gu Wei didn't have time to say goodbye, he got on his horse and hurried to the county government office.
At this time, the soldiers in the distance were still working.
Xie Ling glanced at Wu Daqiang who was eager to try, "Go quickly, I know you can't wait."
After Wu Daqiang responded, he quickly ran towards the military camp.
After a while, all the soldiers stood in training formation.
Wu Daqiang's previous training was effective. In just a quarter of an hour, the soldiers stood in line and no one asked why. The military discipline was particularly good.
Wu Daqiang said mysteriously: "Lead by team one, and go to the shade of the tree in front one by one to get the things."
The soldiers scratched their heads, not knowing why.
There was a group of women and several large wooden barrels standing under the shade of the trees in front. What were they being called to get?
But everyone still walked forward obediently.
