Ten days later.

"After crossing the Yellow River, thirty miles further north, we will reach the territory of the Turks, and then there will be a welcoming party sent by the Turkic Khan, and we will be safe at that time, and we will rest for the night in the village of Wulin on the other side of the river tonight, and we will take strict precautions and not be careless."

After Zhen finished speaking, he rode his horse to the front of the team and gave orders to the twenty secret guards.

"Ulin Village?" When Feng Lun heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that Feng Lun's face was a little strange, Zhang Shi seemed to have a deep impression of this Wulin Village, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord Feng, is there anything strange about this village?" ”

Feng Lun glanced at the figure of Zhen Mingku in front of the team, and sighed: "This is where the Great General of the Dark Guard became famous in the first battle. ”

……

After crossing the Yellow River, Zhen Mingwu arranged the matters of the sentry one by one, and when the Yellow River was crossed, these sentry detectives had already investigated the situation of the deserted village not far ahead.

The village had long been deserted and deserted, the houses in the village had been burned to the ground, and the terrible cries of crows resounded in the woods around the village, giving people a creepy sense of desolation.

All the people in the group dismounted, set up a makeshift tent in an open area of the village, set up a fire, and roasted the reindeer and bison hunted by the Dark Guard.

Under the command of the Dark Guard, he and the members of the Guards cut down trees and made several rudimentary wooden fortifications.

With the help of the two maids, Zhang got out of the carriage and watched with curiosity as hundreds of his personal guards set up tents around the princess's car within a radius of several hundred meters.

There are two types of tents, one is a small white yurt, which requires the cooperation of more than a dozen people to set up one, which is cumbersome and time-consuming to set up.

The other is the Dark Guard's one-man battle tent, which can only sleep two people.

The tent was covered with a piece of barbed wire on yak hide, and supported by a skeleton made of elastic bow and crossbow composites, which was not only strong and secure, but also easy to fold, and every Dark Guard had such a tent to hang on their horses.

She knew that he had always made a lot of strange things, and they all had their own whimsical and wonderful functions, so she couldn't help but step forward and talk to Zhen Ming, who had just set up a tent: "General, your tent is really strange, it's the first time I've seen it." ”

Seeing that this pretty girl still couldn't help but want to talk to him, she couldn't help laughing, she had asked him a lot of various questions in the past few days, but she still looked like she was happy.

He bowed down and made a gentleman's invitation: "If the princess is interested, you may wish to go in and visit." ”

Seeing his strange and exaggerated movements, Zhang couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, a little excited: "Is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zhang took off his embroidered shoes, revealing his little feet as white as jade, and crawled through the tent entrance.

Looking at her pink and delicate soles and ankles, round and tight buttocks, and remembering what she did to him with her two little feet that night, Zhen couldn't help but feel a sense of ape, Zhang climbed into the tent and let out an exclamation: "I didn't expect it to be so spacious inside!" Hey, where does the light come from? It's not dark at all, is this what the general is talking about? ”

Zhen Mingku came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile: "This is called a cave, if the princess lives in it at night, she can still read a book and charge her batteries, the sword outside is ineffective, and the arrows can't penetrate the tent, and the water and fire are not invaded, even if you are attacked, you don't have to be afraid of being set on fire to the tent, do you see the zipper on the side inside?" ”

"Zipper, what zipper?"

"It's the one stitched together on the side of the tent."

"Found it!"

"Pull down a bit and try."

Zhang found the end of the zipper on the top of the tent, pulled it hard, and a skylight opened on the top of the tent for one person to stand up.

Zhang stood up and emerged from the skylight, revealing his upper body.

With this skylight, the people in the tent can get up and fight back at any time, and the skylight can only be opened from the inside, which is so clever that it is amazingly applauded.

"You can pull it on."

Zhang squatted down and pulled it back on, the tent immediately returned to its original state, and her pleasant and beautiful laughter came from the tent, which made Zhen Mingbitter speechless for a while, this Nizi's happiness is always so simple and simple.

At this time, Feng Lun's admiration sounded behind him: "With such wonderful marching equipment, no wonder the Turkic cavalry is terrified of the Dark Guard, when Feng returns to Luoyang, he immediately proposes to the emperor to sew this marching equipment in large quantities, and then the Turkic cavalry will no longer be my Great Sui's henchmen!" ”

Zhen Ming was noncommittal, just smiled, if his marching tent was so easy to imitate, the Turkic soldiers would have learned to make it a long time ago, and he didn't have to spend a lot of money to invite dozens of skilled craftsmen and tailors to create his designs, it took several months to create dozens of them, plus the skeleton composite materials inside, solar lighting, small high-voltage power grid protection, any of them can not be imitated by people of this era, and the price of building this top is almost up to the price of a mid-range house in Luoyang.

So far, only some Dark Guards who need to carry out special tasks have this equipment, and the others use ordinary simple tents.

……

When the sun set, the tent was completely set up with the guards of the personal guards, and the Zhang family, under the service of the two maids, washed it up, changed into the costume of the princess of the Great Sui, and sat around the campfire with hundreds of guards, and Zhen Mingku handed her a stack of roast beef and a bowl of mare's milk wine.

Zhang was a little stunned, and looked up at Zhen Mingku, wasn't he afraid that she would get drunk and talk nonsense, exposing the relationship between her and him?

Zhen Ming explained with a wry smile: "Princess, it's cold at night outside, and there is nothing to warm in the tent, drinking some wine will help to invigorate blood and warm the stomach, and your hands and feet will not be too cold, just don't drink too much." ”

Zhang's has heard him say a lot of ethnic minority folk customs along the way, knowing that the locals are warm with mare's milk wine, he knows that her hands and feet are afraid of cold, so she let her drink some, warm her hands and feet, Ai Lang cherishes herself so much, she only has joy in her heart.

A bowl of mare's milk wine fell into her stomach, her face was as hot as fire, and there seemed to be a fire burning gently in her body, which made her feel a little chilly and warmed up a lot.

At this time, the Dark Guards were full of food and drink, and they gathered together in twos and threes to guess and shout loudly, and some of them simply gambled, and there was no nervousness at all.

Feng Lun frowned when he saw it, but Zhang looked curious, she was full of curiosity about everything Zhen Mingku had done in the past three years, and couldn't help but ask Zhen Mingku: "General, what are they doing?" ”

"Gambling."
