Chapter 110 Host, We Are Here
When the bright light passed, Gu Changfeng was still feeling dizzy and nauseous. After a long time, he opened his eyes.
What he saw was still in the carriage, but it was much colder than when he first entered the carriage in the capital. He carefully discovered that the window curtains had been soaked with snow, and cold air was coming from here.
Xiao Wo interrupted his thoughts: [Host, we are here. ]
Gu Changfeng: "...Got it."
[From a time perspective, half a month has passed, so the temperature has cooled down a lot.] Xiao Wo patiently answered his question.
The man stretched out his hands, blew out a breath, rubbed his red, frozen hands, then lifted the curtain and went out.
Not far away, General Shen was wearing a dark hood and a black short coat with a solid armor on top. Even without the red cape, he was still majestic. On the other hand, Shen Mingjue next to him was obviously not able to adapt to the climate here. He was wearing a thick white fox fur cape, with only his head exposed. He did not half-tie his hair like he did in Suixia Academy, but tied it up high. Because of this, Gu Changfeng could clearly see his ears that were red from the cold.
He rubbed his hands, but they weren't very warm, otherwise he really wanted to go and keep others warm.
"Prince? You're out?" Zhao Si was the first person to discover his whereabouts.
Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes. Zhao Si was smart. Although he was a family servant, he also changed into the same clothes as the marching soldiers, but he brought a woolen scarf and put his hands in his sleeves, which made him look more honest.
"It's cold, isn't it?"
Before he could answer, General Shen and Shen Mingjue noticed him and came over to greet him, "Sir, the tent has been set up. Come with me."
Gu Changfeng nodded, his eyes still on Shen Mingjue. If the other party didn't want to look at him, there would be no chance to stare at someone so indulgently.
He was still secretly delighted when suddenly his sleeve was tugged.
Zhao Si: “…” Don’t look at it, it’s so embarrassing.
The group soon arrived at the camp, and General Shen said to Zhao Si, "Go and help the prince pack up his things. Take down everything from the carriage and put it in order."
Zhao Si knew that they were going to discuss something important, so he nodded and left.
The tent was very large, with two rows of weapons at the door, a huge sand table inside, and a chair at the back. Deputy General Xue, who had stayed at the frontier, was already waiting here.
Deputy General Xue was a smooth talker. When he saw General Shen coming in, he immediately went to greet him: "Oh my dear brother, I have been looking forward to seeing you back for so long, and now you are finally here!"
General Shen naturally knew what kind of person he was. "Wait, let's talk about the past later. Let me introduce you. This is the prince of Yong from the capital. He was ordered to help us fight against the Hu people in times of crisis. He is also our new deputy general." He patted Deputy General Xue on the shoulder and said to Gu Changfeng, "Son, this is Deputy General Xue. He is a bit unserious at ordinary times, but he is a master in using troops, whether it is traps or killing enemies on the battlefield, he is a first-class talent..."
It is not uncommon for a royal relative to suddenly arrive at the border. Usually, they come here to gain military merit and then go back to be promoted. People will not get too involved with them. If they build a good relationship, they may be able to say a few good words to the emperor when they return to Beijing, exaggerate the sufferings of the soldiers here, and ask the emperor to promote them or settle their families. The most important thing is to get more food and weapons, and to vindicate their dead companions.
Deputy General Xue laughed and said, "Don't brag, don't brag. This is not like me. How about this, you just arrived today, let's get familiar with the current situation first."
Gu Changfeng's smile froze. Shouldn't he eat first on the first day? Although this Deputy General Xue looked frivolous, he must be very passionate about his work, right? He looked at this Deputy General Xue carefully again. He looked to be in his early forties, but his hair was already a little gray. Most importantly, he had dark circles under his eyes, and his dark blue clothes were also very wrinkled. It seemed that he had not rested for a long time.
He suddenly felt a little guilty. It seemed that before they arrived, Lieutenant General Xue had been worrying a lot, fearing that the Hu people would encircle and capture a city again.
"Okay, we are here to help." said Gu Changfeng.
Lieutenant General Xue nodded and looked at him with admiration, but the next second, his eyes involuntarily turned to Shen Mingjue who was hiding behind.
Deputy General Xue walked over, circled around Shen Mingjue, and pulled up his cloak to look at him, saying, "Mingyuan, after not seeing you for so many years, why have you become so squeamish? Why don't you call for help, huh?"
Shen Mingjue's face turned red and he quickly took off his cloak.
