Chapter 158 Reunion
The next day.
Before dawn, Gu Huan quietly got up, rode on horseback and set off with the team.
The captain of the guard said that he returned the same night he went to deliver the invitation.
The other military camp already knew that the Pei family was sending rations and supplies, because the Pei family's winter clothes had just been delivered by the transporting troops. They knew the Pei family, so the person who contacted them was very enthusiastic and specially arranged for the recipient to arrive tomorrow.
The huge convoy walked on the mountain road for most of the day. When they encountered a particularly dangerous road, Gu Huan and his companions carefully led the horses and protected the carts of food as they passed.
It took the convoy three full hours to reach the outer wall of the military camp at the border town of Luodian, where people came to greet them from afar.
The chief guard and Gu Huan saluted the visitor together: "I greet the military supervisor Luo."
Gu Huan also bowed and saluted: "I, Pei Wulang, greet General Luo."
General Luo was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His beard covered half of his face. He had a voice like a bell and laughed out loud when he saw them.
He slapped Gu Huan's shoulder with a big palm: "Young Master Pei, your Pei family is really generous. The military rations from the court haven't arrived yet, and you guys sent so much military rations in such a timely manner. I'm afraid it will empty the Pei family's coffers, right?"
Gu Huan's small body was no match for his iron sand palm, and she staggered after being hit by him.
The captain of the guard only found out last night that this person was the wife of Duke Yong, so he didn't dare to lend a hand to help her now.
Gu Huan quickly held onto the carriage, and frantically held onto her hat that had nearly fallen off. She laughed dryly and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "It's okay, it's okay."
Gu Huan is not tall, with a slim waist, but she is plump in the right places. Even when she wears a bra and men's clothes, she still looks slim.
With her extremely beautiful appearance, she inevitably attracted attention, so last night she put a lot of cotton on the shoulders and waist of her clothes.
He smeared a thick layer of turmeric powder on his face and dotted it with a few pockmarks, which made him look like a gentleman.
However, compared with the muscular captain of the guards and the Mu family soldiers, she still looked very delicate.
But the sound is still hard to conceal, even if the voice is deliberately hoarse, you can still hear some of the cuteness.
Seeing that she was almost knocked down by him, Luo Jianjun couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Pei, girls don't like your appearance. Girls like guys like our commander."
Gu Huan blushed.
Fortunately, I applied turmeric powder so it can't be seen.
She glared at him fiercely and said, "General Luo, I'm here to deliver food."
Luo Jianjun was amused by her fierce look and laughed: "Okay. We really appreciate your timely delivery of food. Come with me."
He put his hand on the handle of the sword at his waist, took big steps, and did not forget to flirt with the cute young man.
"Is the young man married?"
Gu Huan was stunned. How should she answer this?
When General Luo saw that she didn't answer, he turned to look at her. She looked nervous. It was a rare occasion for her to meet someone so fun, so he wanted to tease her on purpose.
He put his strong arms on her shoulders and embraced her.
The captain of the guards who was following behind was startled and felt a chill on his neck, but he didn't dare to pull away the thick arm.
If Gu Huan’s identity as a woman is discovered, will he be beaten with a military stick?
Gu Huan's whole body was stiff and she was dragged away by him.
Luo Jianjun laughed, "Don't be shy, a man must marry. It's just right for you to come to our military camp to practice your courage and strengthen your body. You will definitely marry a beautiful woman when you go back and let her see the masculinity of your little brother."
Gu Huan: “…”
Thanks, not necessary.
She tried desperately to pull herself away from him, but his arms were too strong and she couldn't move away, so she tried to move her feet away.
The posture is as awkward as it can be.
But she didn't dare to say more, for fear of revealing the truth, and could only smile awkwardly.
Although she had turmeric powder on her face, her watery eyes could not be concealed. As her emotions shifted, she became a little shy due to embarrassment, which made her look particularly charming and lively.
General Luo said this with a smile, turned his head and suddenly met a pair of eyes as beautiful as blooming flowers. His heart suddenly stopped and his ears felt inexplicably hot.
He quickly looked away and loosened his arms somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Huan suddenly relaxed and looked around.
It’s my first time in a military camp and I’m very curious.
I don’t know where Mu Junyan is.
Will we meet unexpectedly?
If he met and saw her, what would his expression be?
surprise? shock?
Or will you scold her?
Gu Huan suddenly felt a little uneasy. What if he didn't want to see her?
It would be better if they don't meet. After the transaction is completed, just leave a message saying that she is in Juzhou.
He would see her when he wanted to, and not see her when he didn't want to.
To avoid embarrassment.
Gu Huan followed Xie with her mind in a mess.
The Mu family army’s barracks were indeed strictly guarded, with checkpoints along the way.
When they arrived at the main camp, they saw patrols marching in unison. Each of them was dressed in neat armor, holding a spear, and looked very heroic and confident.
There was no sign of having been fighting hard for nearly two months, and none of the patrolmen looked tired.
Gu Huan couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Sure enough, this looks like Mu Junyan’s team.
Although he was a military general, he still dressed meticulously in the Duke's Mansion.
At this time, in the commander's main tent, Mu Junyan still didn't know that Gu Huan had arrived in Juzhou.
What was even more unexpected was that she entered the military camp in Luodian border town.
At this moment, he was feasting and drinking with his generals in the main tent, while discussing the next steps.
Although the coalition forces assembled by Dali County were defeated one by one by them, their goal was to attack Shicheng County and scare Dali County in one fell swoop.
Shicheng County is located in the mountains, with a turbulent river deep in the mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But the Mu family army was extremely tired and short of food and clothing, so they could not delay any longer.
During the truce, they did not dare to stop. New recruits kept joining, so they had to intensify their training. At the same time, they also had to find ways to feed everyone so that they would have the strength to go to the battlefield.
Moreover, the weather has turned suddenly cold recently.
Many people in the military camp began to suffer from coughing, and the disease seemed to be spreading more rapidly.
The lack of medicinal materials is also a big problem.
Since ancient times, epidemics have always occurred after natural disasters, and the same is true after wars.
After a month and a half of continuous hard fighting, the people on the border were starving everywhere, military rations were delayed in arriving, and almost all the pure grain in the border towns was given to the people.
The army's food supplies were only enough to last less than half a month.
Therefore, the Mu family army must capture Shicheng County as soon as possible.
He didn't notice it during the battle, but after the truce, Mu Junyan ordered an inspection and found that a minor cold could turn into a big problem.
Mu Junyan issued an order yesterday that Juzhou and all border towns should try their best to find medicinal materials to suppress the cold.
After two days of fighting, the situation gradually stabilized.
Today, the camp relaxed a little and held a banquet to reward the hard-working soldiers.
When Gu Huan and the others entered the camp for the handover, it was already starting to get dark.
The commanders were all drunk, their faces flushed, and they were discussing going to the camp prostitutes to relieve their sexual desires.
He specifically asked Mu Junyan whether he wanted him to have a camp prostitute serve him.
Mu Junyan rubbed his brows and said, "You guys go ahead. I still need to look at the topographic map."
The generals are used to it.
This Duke is not only strict in military discipline, but also strict with himself.
The soldiers were all full of vigor and vitality. They had been fighting in the battlefield for almost two months. They were too nervous and had killed too many people. They were under great pressure, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rest and relax, and find a beautiful woman to cool down.
In the entire military camp, only Mu Junyan had never called a camp prostitute.
Even if he occasionally saw soldiers playing with military prostitutes, he would just ignore them with an expressionless face.
They all knew that Mu Junyan had refused to remarry after his wife passed away, and they thought he didn't like women and was a pure-hearted person.
Unexpectedly, the general who returned from Bian Jing said that he had married a concubine before he came, which caused a sensation in the entire military camp.
