548. Chapter 548 Old Friend



Wangzhou, in the Hu Ben Army camp.

As soon as Xing Zhao arrived at the entrance of the military camp, he heard the familiar sound of drills, and he immediately felt refreshed. As expected, people will only feel comfortable if they stay in a place they long for! "Who is coming?"

"Jinling Xing Zhao, my dear brother, I have something to ask to see General Gu. Please let him know."

"Jinling Xing Zhao? I've never heard of him before."

In the Huben Army, only the deputy general or the former veterans of the Gu Family Army would know Xing Zhao. As someone like him who had just joined the barracks not long ago, he naturally had never seen Xing Zhao.

For this reason, Xing Zhao was not angry. He smiled and dismounted and waited. Seeing that his attitude was quite respectful, the soldier guarding the gate did not make things difficult for him and turned around and went into the military camp.

After a while, the soldier was seen hurrying over, and the person walking in front of him was Ni Yang.

"Mr. Xing, why are you here?"

"Deputy General Ni, I'm here to join the army."

The two of them asked and answered each other, which confused the others. Why would a young man come here alone to join the army? Shouldn't they all come directly to take up their posts with transfer orders? Therefore, those who knew about this matter looked at Xing Zhao with a curious expression.

Xing Zhao didn't care at all. Since he said he wanted to join the army, he was ready to start as a soldier. He was in his thirties and he was not afraid of fighting with those teenagers.

On the contrary, Ni Yang was somewhat incredulous. There was a great opportunity waiting for him in Sui'an City, so why did he come to this mountain valley to suffer? So, he squinted his eyes and approached him to ask.

"You didn't get into trouble and ran away to avoid it, did you?"

Xing Zhao rolled his eyes to the sky, and then spoke loudly.

"Am I that kind of person? Really! Take me to see my cousin quickly. I'm here to join his tent today. I can be a guard at the door!"

Ni Yang knew that he was not joking, so he could only lead him in first and then explain.

"The general is not in the camp. He went to Wangzhou to inspect the border today and will be back later. You can go to my tent to rest first. I will take you around the army later to familiarize you with the route."

Hearing this, Xing Zhao nodded. It is easier to get things done when you have someone in the army. At least after this round, he knows almost everything he needs to know.

Gu Shaoyu, who was patrolling at the moment, had no idea that a distant guest had arrived. He just rode his horse a few laps with a serious expression, then pulled the reins and stood between Wangzhou and Qizhou without saying a word.

Following behind him were Mu Lianying and Wei Lun. Since Luo Yuan's death, the two of them took over what Luo Yuan was supposed to do, so now they are also Gu Shaoyu's personal guards.

Wei Lun was the chief and Mu Lianying was the deputy, leading 5,000 personal guards, who were also the most elite group of soldiers in the Huben Army.

"General, what's wrong?"

Wei Lun rode forward, just a head behind Gu Shaoyu, and asked.

Although Mu Lianying on the side did not say anything, he also looked at Gu Shaoyu, waiting for his answer.

Gu Shaoyu, holding a horsewhip in his hand, pointed along the line they had just come from, then stopped at a stretch of hills and spoke.

"The Wangzhou border defense map sent to me a few days ago did not record this mountain range. If it was just a small hill, it would be fine. But if such a large area is not recorded, there must be something fishy."

And this trick is not small.

The two of them suddenly became more serious than Gu Shaoyu. This place was under the control of the Royal Army, and there were only two possibilities for not reporting it.

One is that he deliberately concealed the secret from the Tiger Guards for other purposes.

Secondly, the local joint royal army hid the truth from the people in Sui'an City, and they had ulterior motives.

Thinking of these two points, their faces turned ugly, and Mu Lianying rode forward two steps and asked.

"General, would you like me to go investigate the situation?"

"What can you find out with these people, a familiar face like you? Go back first and let Liu Xun come. It will be safer for him to go back and forth alone."

Liu Xun has been staying in the Huben Army since he delivered the news a few days ago.

His birth was not unusual, and there were many new faces joining the army this time, so few people noticed his presence. He was naturally the most suitable person to handle this matter.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu said no more and led them back to the camp on horseback.

As a result, when they arrived at the camp, they saw Ni Yang and Xing Zhao walking around. Although Gu Shaoyu did not ask him, he guessed it almost right.

He still felt a little warm in his heart. Although his cousin looked frivolous, he knew that in Xing Zhao's eyes, caring for the family was very important.

"Why are you here?"

"My family is forcing me to get married again, so I ran away. I had nowhere to go, so I decided to join the army. Of course, I had to find a place where someone would protect me. After I calculated, Wangzhou was a very auspicious place, so I came."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As soon as he said this, Ni Yang looked as if he knew this was the truth.

When the others heard this, they also thought that this was the reason why Master Xing Zhao had come to visit, so they did not become suspicious.

However, Gu Shaoyu had known him for decades, so he naturally knew that this was just a cover-up. There was no need to say the truth, and he knew what it was, so he did not expose Xing Zhao.

Xing Zhaole used this as an excuse and stayed in the military camp.

He cares least about reputation, so he still acts cynical.

"Let's go to the big tent first."

"good."

When a few people were about to leave, they suddenly saw someone coming from behind.

General Lu Fushen, the commander of the Royal Army, showed up with a familiar face. When Xing Zhao saw that person, his eyes widened. It turned out to be an old friend? And when the old friend he was talking about saw Xing Zhao, he was also surprised.

"Xing Zhao, why are you here?"

"Mr. Qi, how are you?"

The Master Qi he mentioned is the child of the concubine of Prince Min's Palace. He is now the most favored son of the old Prince Min, so he has quite some influence in Sui'an City.

Xing Zhao had dealt with him a lot during these years, so when he opened his mouth, everyone present who should know his identity knew it.

"Hahaha, what's the wind blowing today? It actually sent the two distinguished guests from Sui'an City to Wangzhou. It seems that we have to have a drinking party tonight to celebrate, right, General Gu?"

Lu Fushen was a capable general and also a generous and unrestrained person.

But the only problem is that they are not on good terms with the former Gu family army. Therefore, when the emperor transferred Gu Shaoyu to Wangzhou, he also had this in mind, so that they could check each other and not be afraid of them joining forces. (End of this chapter)
