Chapter 293 A vixen in the woods?
As the night grew darker, the patrolling army found a flat area nearby to set up camp.
Jiang An sent a team of light cavalry to escort the five thousand gold coins sent by the Dongli people, and they rode fast all the way back to Chongzhou.
In the enclosed camp, the little girl stood in the largest open space.
She stopped Hei Jia who was about to set up the main tent, "I'm on patrol tonight, there's no need to set up this tent."
The soldier hesitated, "Miss, it's too cold at night..."
"Hey~"
Jiang An patted his body, beaming with joy, "Don't worry, I have inner strength, I won't get cold~"
The camp was simply set up, a bonfire was lit, and the surrounding sky was lit up.
Accompanied by the crackling sound of burning firewood, the soldiers sat around the fire, baking cakes, and chatting and laughing from time to time.
Jiang An held a branch with Hu Bing on it with his fat paws and looked up at the sky.
The stars are twinkling in sight.
In her mind, she felt more comfortable fighting alongside them and chatting with them in her spare time.
It seemed as if there was always a voice in her heart telling Jiang An that this was how she should be...
"Miss!"
Her thoughts were interrupted and the little girl's eyes moved away from the stars in the sky.
General Huo had gone out to collect firewood and had just arrived late.
He didn't have any firewood in his hand, but he did have two or three hares and pheasants...
Huo Lang showed his harvest to the little girl and was very happy.
"Miss, don't eat the biscuits, there is meat to eat!"
"Once I have processed it, we will roast it..."
Jiang An looked down at the unevenly baked Hu pancake in his hand, which had black and white patches, and decisively threw it to Zheng Yan.
She sat there obediently, looking eagerly at Huo Lang...or rather, at the hare in Huo Lang's hand.
Compared with these rough guys around him, Jiang An, who was among them, was fair, tender and small, which inexplicably made people feel pity for him.
Other commanders also stood up to help.
In a blink of an eye, the prey in Huo Lang's hands was divided up.
He opened his hands and stared blankly, "Then what should I do?"
Someone said perfunctorily, "Your grilled food is not good, go wait."
"Hey!"
Huo Lang rolled up his sleeves to show his dissatisfaction.
"General Huo~"
The little girl patted the seat next to her, "Come and sit down!"
Huo Lang's face immediately changed into a smile, and he squeezed his huge body between Zheng Yan and the little girl.
Hum, they roasted their rabbits, and he played with the lady~
"What do you think the coach's expression would be if he saw the silver?"
While roasting the rabbit, the generals were chirping at Jiang Jichen behind his back.
Someone replied with a smile, "You don't think the young lady is taking us to rob a house, do you?"
"What we are doing...isn't it considered robbery?"
Everyone looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.
……
"pat..."
Jiang An threw away the last bone in his hand and licked the corner of his mouth with his little tongue, looking more like a kitten.
She smacked her lips and savored the taste. Not to mention... her cooking skills were pretty good~
It was already very late, and most of the soldiers who were not on guard had fallen asleep with their weapons in their arms.
In the camp, only the campfire was still burning...
The little girl stood up straight, patted her bulging belly, and waved her hand, "Let's go, night patrol!"
Huo Lang responded and ordered his cavalry to form a team and prepare to set off.
"Big Cat~"
Jiang An pounced on the lying white tiger and shook it, "Get up and work~"
"Roar…"
The white tiger turned over with the help of the little girl's force, with its four paws facing the sky.
It rubbed the soft grass beneath it, yawned loudly, and even rolled its eyes.
Baihu: Not only do I not have roast chicken to eat today, I also have to work the night shift!
Sooner or later, this king will run away from home! !
It cursed in its heart, but its body was still very honest and let the human cub climb onto its back.
Jiang An casually pulled out the spear that was stuck in the ground, raised his other hand, and clenched his fist, meaning to set off.
Following the order, she and Huo Lang walked side by side in front...
Looking at the back, it does look like that.
Night patrol for the army is a very important matter. Visibility is low at night. If the night patrol is not done properly, there will often be heavy casualties when the enemy attacks.
Night patrols include external patrols and inspections of the number of soldiers, armaments, and war horses in the camp.
The former is the responsibility of the generals in the army, while the latter is reported by the lieutenant generals of each camp.
There are patrol teams inside the camp and sentries outside the camp, one sentry every 100 meters in the four directions, with two people taking turns to guard each sentry...
The night patrol soldiers led by Jiang An patrolled in a circle five miles away, with the camp as the center.
The entire garrison was divided into three teams, Jiang An and Huo Lang were in charge of one team, Zheng Lu was in charge of one team, and the other team was led by Niang Niang and Zheng Yan.
The three teams were scattered in different directions to ensure that not even a fly could get in!
In the dark night, the cavalry held a torch in one hand and tightened the reins with the other, their expressions solemn and tense.
Jiang An, who was at the front, tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see something different in the darkness.
She rode on the tiger, and the dog sneaked up to Huo Lang beside her.
"General Huo~" The little girl's voice broke the silence.
Holland looked at the young lady, and the first thing he noticed was her round, sparkling eyes.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Is it because it is too dark and the little girl is scared?
He didn't think being afraid of the dark was something cowardly.
His own son even dared to beat his own father. When he was a child, he was still scared and cried loudly at night.
Before I could say anything to comfort him, I heard the little ancestor say, "Isn't this a good time to tell a ghost story?"
How immersive!
"Uh...ahem!"
A cool breeze blew past him, making the back of General Huo's head feel hairy.
He choked on his own saliva and silently took back what he had just thought.
"Let me tell you..."
"Miss!"
Huo Lang stopped this ancestor and swallowed saliva frantically.
"Eh?"
The little girl looked innocent, "What's wrong?"
He just said dryly: "I am afraid!"
The other black-armored people behind him nodded in agreement silently. They were also afraid!
Jiang An's thin eyebrows drooped, "That's great."
After walking a few steps forward, I heard some sparse sounds coming from the dark forest on one side...
There were faint cries for help.
“Help…ah…”
A long sound, with a trembling tail, appears and disappears.
Huo Lang turned his eyes towards the dark forest and tilted his upper body. "Miss... did you hear any sound?"
Jiang An stroked his chin and said, "Who would be in the woods at the border in the middle of the night..."
Huo Lang nodded frantically, that's right!
"Is it a vixen waiting for the scholar?"
After saying that, the little girl muttered to herself again, "That's not right."
Could it be that this vixen got lost and went in the wrong direction?
After all, there are no scholars passing by here~
A black-armored cavalryman behind him raised his hand weakly, "He...can't he be a human being?"
Jiang An turned around and confirmed, "What you said makes sense~"
