MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 548 old friend

 Wangzhou, in the camp of Huben Army.

As soon as Xing Zhao arrived at the gate of the military camp, he heard the familiar sound of drills and suddenly felt energetic. Sure enough, people only feel comfortable when they stay in the place they yearn for!

 “Who is coming?”

"Jinling Xing Zhao, this little brother, I have something to ask to see General Gu. Please let me know."

 “Jinling Xing Zhao? I’ve never heard of it before.”

Within the Huben Army, only a deputy general or a former veteran of the Gu Jiajun would know Xing Zhao. If he had just entered the camp so recently, he would naturally have never met 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 didn't have much trouble and turned around and entered the military camp.

 After a while, I saw the little soldier coming in a hurry, and it was Ni Yang who was walking in front of him.

“Mr. Xing, why are you here?”

 “Vice General Ni, I’m here to join the army.”

The two of them asked and answered each other, which confused the others. Why would the young master come and join the army alone? Shouldn't they all come to work directly with transfer orders?

 Hence, everyone who knew about this matter looked at Xing Zhao with curious expressions.

Xing Zhao didn't care. Since he said he would join the army, he was ready to start as a soldier. He was already in his thirties and was still crawling around with boys in their teens. He was not afraid. .

On the contrary, Ni Yang was a little unbelievable. A great situation was waiting for him in Sui'an City. Why did he come to endure hardships in this ravine?

So, squinting his eyes, he approached him and asked.

“You didn’t get into trouble and ran away to avoid it, right?”

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

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

Ni Yang saw that he was not joking, so he could only introduce him first and then explain.

"The general is not in the camp. He went to patrol the border in Wangzhou today and won't be back until later. You go to my tent to rest first. I will take you around the army later to know the way."

Hearing this, Xing Zhao nodded. There are people in the army who are easy to do things. At least after this round, they know almost everything they should know.

Gu Shaoyu, who was patrolling at the moment, didn't know that the distant visitors were coming. He just ran the horse for a few laps with a serious face, then pulled the reins and stood at the distance between Wangzhou and Qizhou without saying a word.

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

Wei Lun is the leader and Mu Lianying is the deputy. They lead 5,000 personal guards, which are also the strongest group of soldiers in the Huben army.

“General, what’s wrong?”

Wei Lun drove his horse up, just one horse head behind Gu Shaoyu, and opened his mouth to ask.

Although Mu Lianying on the side did not speak, she also looked at Gu Shaoyu, waiting for his answer.

Gu Shaoyu held the riding whip in his hand and pointed along the line he had just come over, then he fixed on the top of a continuous mountain and said.

"The Wangzhou border defense map that was sent to me a few days ago did not record this mountain range. If it is just a small hill, forget it. If you don't record such a spread, there must be something fishy."

 And this is not a small matter.

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

 One is that the Hu Ben Army deliberately concealed it from them and had other agendas. Second, the local joint royal army hid it from the people in Sui'an City, and they had ulterior motives.

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

“General, can you let the last general go and explore the situation?”

"What can you find out if you bring these people with a familiar face? Go back first and let Liu Xun come. It's safer for him to go back and forth by himself."

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

His own life is not unusual, and this time the army has joined a lot of new faces, so no one noticed that there is an extra one of him, so it is naturally the most appropriate for him to handle this matter.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyu didn't say much more, and led them back to the camp with their horses and whips.

As a result, when we arrived at the camp, we saw Ni Yang and Xing Zhao walking around. Although Gu Shaoyu didn't ask him, he made a good guess.

 There is still a bit of warmth in his heart. Although this cousin usually looks not serious, he knows that taking care of the family is very important here in Xing Zhao.

 “Why are you here?”

"My family wanted to force me to get married again. Hey, I ran away. I had nowhere to go, so I decided to join the army. Naturally, I wanted to find a place where someone would protect me. After thinking about it, I hope Zhouzhou is a place with good fortune, so I came here."

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Ni Yang acted like I knew this was the truth.

When other people heard this, they also felt that this was the reason why Mr. Xing Zhao came to visit, so they were not suspicious.

It's just that Gu Shaoyu has known him for decades, so he naturally knows that these are just words to hide the truth. There is no need to say more about the truth. He also knows what it is, so he does not expose Xing Zhao.

Xing Zhaole used this as an excuse to stay in the military camp.

 His reputation is the least of his concerns, so he still comes with a cynical look.

 “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-in-chief of the Royal Army, appeared with a face that was familiar to everyone. When he saw that person, Xing Zhao's eyes widened. He was actually an old friend?

 The old friend he mentioned was also surprised when he saw Xing Zhao.

“Xing Zhao, why are you here?”

“Mr. Qi, you’re fine.”

The Prince Qi he was talking about was the son of Prince Min’s concubine. He was now the most favored son of Prince Min, so he was quite influential in Sui’an City.

During the years of their relationship with Xing Zhao, they had dealt with him a lot, so when he spoke like this, everyone present who should know his identity also knew.

"Hahaha, what a wind blowing today, it actually sent two distinguished guests from Sui'an City to Wangzhou. It seems that we can't do anything without a banquet to celebrate tonight, right, General Gu."

Lu Fushen is a capable general and a bold and unruly man.

But the only problem was that he couldn't deal with the former Gu Jiajun. Therefore, when the emperor transferred Gu Shaoyu to Wangzhou, he also had this idea in mind, so that they could restrain each other and not be afraid of them joining forces. (End of chapter)
