Chapter 437 Iris Birthmark
He shouldn't have chased after me!!
After lying there for a while, he looked at the little girl who was busy and sweating. Although he said that he would never do anything extra, he still honestly picked up the account book and checked it carefully.
The army was busy for three days, and the border patrol team was assembled...
There are 8,000 light cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 10,000 other miscellaneous personnel such as archers and engineers.
In the martial arts arena, the drums sounded again.
This time, not only the prince and the military advisor were watching on the pavilion next to them, but also Xie Huaiqing who was invited.
He had been raised in a wealthy family since he was a child, and had never experienced a military camp or even a strong sandstorm...
Now, looking at the yellow sand and black armor all over the field, there is the sound of drums booming next to my eardrums.
Xie Huaiqing felt that all the blood in his body was rushing along with the drumbeat!
His throat tightened, and his gentle eyes fell on Xie Er, who was holding a silver spear on the side of the platform, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"As your elder brother, I had no idea...Xie Er could be so graceful now."
A year ago, when he was fighting to suppress a rebellion, he was startled by Xie Er, who was dressed in silver armor. Today, a year later, he was even more proud of seeing him dressed as a general.
He looked at Hu Yan, his new friend, and asked with concern, "Is there any danger in patrolling the border?"
Hu Yan said nothing, just nodded.
"Xie Yunshan is a general. According to the rules of the National Protection Army, he should charge at the front when encountering the enemy!"
He lowered his eyes to look at the sharp-eyed General Xie on the podium, and whispered to Xie Huaiqing about what happened several years ago.
"If you count them carefully, I have been working with General Xie for about ten years..."
"General Xie is the first general in the National Defense Army who holds the rank of second grade but has no military merit."
When he first arrived in the North with his few men, no one really liked him...
Firstly, he was sent down from Kyoto, so he could get an official rank that ordinary people could never earn in their lifetime without fighting; secondly, his surname was Xie.
In the past, Xie Yunshan had been against the King's Palace, and it was not the first or second time that he had made a mess of small matters.
The prince and he only treated the young general as a child who had left home for the first time, and they did not really get angry with him.
Since when did Xie Yunshan gradually become accepted by the North and the National Protection Army?
"Perhaps it was when the young general and the young lady went to the fields to plant rice, or when the northern land was hit by an epidemic, he remained fearless and defended the city with the governor..."
"Or they may serve as pre-war pioneers, go into the mountains to suppress bandits...fighting alongside the soldiers time and time again."
"Thank you, Master..."
Hu Yan restrained his old fox-like joking appearance and said seriously: "What I want to say is that General Xie's official rank of second rank may be seen by everyone in Kyoto as being due to the protection of his family, but it is not the case in the North."
The title of 'Young General Xie' he earned today was his own, and had nothing to do with the Xie family.
Xie Huaiqing opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
He should be happy at this moment...
Xie Er made true friends here.
While they were talking, the drum beats continued under the pavilion, and the sound of horse hooves, footsteps and armor mixed together like an accompaniment, making people feel nervous for no reason.
Jiang An jumped up from the high platform and grabbed the spear thrown by Zheng Yan with one hand. Sitting under him was the majestic white tiger.
At her command, all three armies moved.
The little girl took one last look at the top of the building, smiled, and walked away into the distance.
She looked dashing in silver armor. Perhaps she had grown taller after a year and was no longer the delicate, petite, worrying girl on the tiger's back.
Jiang Jichen watched his daughter walk away, and his mood was very different from before.
On the way back to the main tent from the pavilion, Hu Yan asked him, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried this time?"
Jiang Jichen asked back, "Why should I worry?"
His daughter is already capable of taking on the responsibilities of a general.
He said, "I used to keep an eye on her in the mansion, but I didn't realize she had grown up..."
"Today, I feel that An seems to have grown a lot taller."
Hu Yan: "I will be patrolling the border for six months. When I come back, An An will have another birthday."
At that time, Jiang An should have been twelve years old.
"In two years, she will be a 15-year-old..."
After counting all this in detail, the old father's face turned black.
It seemed that he had already anticipated that one day in the future, the little girl he held in his hands would bring back her ideal lover.
The more I thought about it, the faster the prince walked away.
Hu Yan didn't realize something was wrong at first, until he couldn't keep up with the prince...
The soldier behind him was a little worried, "Military Advisor, the prince has gone far away..."
And the direction he was heading was not the main account.
My Lord, you won't be upset...
Hu Yan laughed a few times and felt very happy.
So that you can come and show off to me from time to time!
"Don't worry about him, let's go back and drink some hot tea first!"
He just turned around and saw a soldier running towards him, his forehead full of sweat, looking very anxious.
Hu Yan stopped and called someone over, "What's the hurry?"
"Reporting to the military advisor... My brothers were patrolling the camp and found a person three miles away. They saw that he was about to freeze to death, so they brought him back. I was just about to ask the prince to decide whether to let the military doctor treat him in the camp or send him to the city."
His face was tangled, "The main thing is... the person is dying."
Otherwise they would have been sent directly to the government office in the city.
"I don't see any identification on him, and there are only barren mountains around here. I don't know where he came from."
Hu Yan gathered his cloak and said, "Let's go take a look."
In a small tent at the edge of the military camp, a ragged man was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Large areas of his skin and flesh were exposed, turning red and purple from the cold. His body and feet were covered with wounds. The most serious one was the old wound on his neck, which looked like it was about to kill him.
Hu Yan took a closer look and found that the fatal wound seemed to be a knife wound, which was not something an ordinary person would suffer.
However, he looks quite handsome, and even somewhat familiar...
Hu Yan: "Find a few more people to guard inside and outside the tent, and have the military doctor accompany him when he treats. If anything goes wrong, don't show mercy."
"Yes."
He stayed for a while until the military doctor told the soldier waiting nearby to take off the man's tattered clothes.
"He's got a lot of frostbite on his body, be gentle, or else a piece of flesh will be rubbed off!"
After the military doctor said this, the soldiers became more gentle in their actions, for fear of encountering the horrific scene he described.
Hu Yan frowned, not wanting to look any further, and turned around to leave.
Just at this moment, the soldier exposed the man's back, and a strange-looking birthmark on the waist caught the old fox's eyes.
"and many more!"
He took two or three steps forward and pushed aside the soldier who was undressing the man.
"Military Advisor...what's wrong?"
The man didn't understand what was going on, but was stopped by a look from the soldier following the military advisor.
Before Hu Yan's eyes, a beautiful iris blossomed...
He gently put his hand on it and wanted to rub it hard to see if it was fake, but then he remembered the military doctor's words and suddenly stopped.
"Military doctor...Military doctor!"
He pulled the military doctor over and pointed at the iris birthmark, "Come and see, is this real?"
