Chapter 38 Expedition

Jing Yao listened, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, I naturally believe it. You must be more careful in this battle."

Lu Zheng nodded and smiled, "I know, just wait for my good news at home."

The next day, the Beijing Normal University campus.

Captain Tong selected 500 cavalry from the battalion and arranged them into a long snake array ready to go. Lu Zheng led the army for the first time, both excited and a little worried.

Captain Tong said to Lu Zheng, "These soldiers are the elite soldiers I selected from the Xiaoqi Camp of Beijing, and Zhao Rui is out!" A capable lieutenant stood out of the team.

Captain Tong said, "Lu Zheng, you are not familiar with war. This Zhao Duwei is quite good at fighting. If he is your advisor, you will be successful.

Lu Zheng hugged his fist and said, "Captain Zhao, please give more advice to Lu Zheng on this expedition."

Zhao Rui hurriedly returned the salute, "Lord Lu, you're welcome. Zhao really doesn't dare to do it."

Captain Tong laughed and said, "Okay, don't be modest. Lu Zheng really doesn't know how to march and fight. You have to mention more.

Zhao Rui nodded and said, "It is incumbent on me. Please rest assured, Lieutenant."

Captain Tong looked at the sky and waved his sleeves and said, "It's getting late. Lu Zheng, lead the team!"

Lu Zheng stepped on the white horse and arched to the officers in the captain's mansion and said, "Your Excellency, please come back. Lu Zheng will live up to his mission. Please rest assured.

After saying that, he shouted, "Get on the horse and set off!"

Zhao Rui ordered: "The team is in a 'double snake array' and move forward together!"

This is a team of long snakes, which is immediately divided into two from the middle, with the formation of double-headed snakes moving forward with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng walked dozens of steps and couldn't help looking back and said to himself, "Why didn't Jingyao come to see me off?" There must be too many people in the school. She is afraid of losing her temper and being embarrassed to come.

While thinking about what was going on, he saw Jingyao standing beside Captain Tong and waved goodbye to him gently. With a warm heart, I couldn't help shouting, "Everyone go back and wait for my good news!" After saying that, if you don't look back, you will run forward with your legs on horseback.

Lu Zheng wanted to get to Nanping quickly and ordered an urgent march. In less than a day and night, he traveled more than 300 miles. Zhao Rui saw that the team was a little unorganized, and the officers and soldiers were also very tired. He caught up from behind and said to Lu Zheng, "Your Excellency, except for three meals and five hours of rest, we are all on the way to march. The soldiers are tired, and the horse can't stand it. It's better to take a night to recover their strength before leaving.

Lu Zheng turned around and looked at it. Only then did he remember that these people were not practitioners, and how could they compare with himself? He nodded and said, "Well, if you pass the order, we will camp on the hill ahead."

Zhao Rui obeyed the order and left. Everyone could rest, cheered up, and the speed of the march also accelerated a lot.

In less than a column of incense, the team came under the hill. Zhao Rui passed the order and released three flowing shoots to mow the grass and feed the horses. The Firehead Army began to bury pots to make food, and the rest began to build simple tents.

Seeing that Zhao Rui's command was orderly, Lu Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Captain Zhao, you are very familiar with many matters of this march. Lu Zheng has been taught."

Zhao Rui hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I have not read any books. At the age of 15, I was drafted into the army and fought more than ten battles. I just know a little about how to march. My lord, I only looked at it a few times, and then I could know it.

Lu Zhengqi said, "I'm afraid you have made a lot of military achievements in the past few years. Why are you just a seventh-grade captain now?"

Zhao Rui paused and said, "A few years ago, Meng Taishi controlled military affairs, and most of the officials in Xiaoqi Camp were his former officials. Later, Captain Tong was in charge of military affairs, and I was promoted. After saying that, he sighed quietly.

Master Meng again! Lu Zheng couldn't help but resent him by three points. He said with a smile, "Now Lord Tong is in control of the army. As long as we are willing to work hard, promotion will only happen sooner or later."

Zhao Rui nodded hurriedly and said, "That's what he said. This time he was lucky enough to go on an expedition under the command of the inspector, that is, the captain has the intention to cultivate it."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't patrol the envoy anymore. You and my brother are commensurate. I call you Zhao Rui, and you just call me Lu Zheng."

Zhao Rui said in fear, "Your Excellency, the army is not as good as others. It has its own rules for superiority and inferiority. Zhao Rui dares not!" Lu Zheng saw it and had to follow him.

These soldiers are indeed veterans of the battlefield. Before dark, everyone had eaten hot food. The horse is also fed and the tent has been built. After dinner, Zhao Rui cut down some thick trees from the mountain and sharpened one end as a fence around the tent.

Seeing that Lu Zheng was unknown, Zhao Rui explained: "These wooden piles can be used as tripper piles to prevent the attack of enemy cavalry. The two can resist beasts and kill two birds with one stone. Lu Zheng didn't understand until he heard it.

Zhao Rui sent a small group of soldiers stationed on the hill, and it was more convenient to observe the surrounding movements at the commanding heights.

After seeing that everything settled down, Lu Zheng ordered everyone to take a rest. Everyone got into the tent and slept.

Zhao Rui said, "Your Excellency, it's getting late. You should also rest early. I will inspect it later."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Zhao Duwei, you have been tired for a day. Go and have a rest. To be honest, I know some Taoism, and I won't be sleepy after meditation. Let me patrol it."

Zhao Rui listened, and his eyes flashed with admiration. He repeatedly said, "According to what I heard, you are the champion of this palace examination. I don't want adults to practice Taoism. It's really a literary and martial arts talent. In this way, we will definitely win a complete victory in this expedition.

Lu Zheng was a little embarrassed to be praised and said with a smile, "There are people outside, and there is a sky outside the sky. My Taoism is not worth mentioning. Zhao Duwei is flattered."

Zhao Rui was stubborn by Lu Zheng and had to get up to rest. Lu Zheng released his consciousness and patrolled around, but saw nothing abnormal. So he found a place to carry people on his back, sat on the ground at ease, guarded Dantian, and entered the realm of heaven and man.

Previously, whenever Lu Zheng entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, the green shirt left by the Qinglian Xiushi would teach him Taoism. Therefore, although Lu Zheng's monrigation time is still short, the Taoism has advanced rapidly, which can be said to be thousands of miles a day.

Lu Zheng's yuan god slowly peeled away from the flesh, performed the nameless Qingxin lotus Taoism under the night sky, and reviewed the sixfold lotus spells one by one.

The green shirt suddenly flashed a soft luster, faded from Lu Zheng's body, and fought with Lu Zheng's Yuan Shen in the air.

Lu Zheng's face suddenly became calm, sometimes nervous, and suddenly happy. Suddenly, the green shirt in the air was hit by Lu Zheng's yuan god and turned into an inch of silk. Before it fell to the ground, it was blown away without a trace.

On the same day, when Shibu quan handed over this green shirt to Lu Zheng, he once said that this treasure was useful. Today, this green shirt is no longer the opponent of Lu Zheng, and it has completed its mission. Then it disappeared.

Lu Zheng's yuan god slowly returned to his body. Lu Zheng trembled and immediately woke up from the realm of selflessness. He opened his eyes and suddenly became shining, and his cultivation improved a lot!

Lu Zheng felt comfortable all over his body and couldn't help stretching his waist, but found that he was only wearing profanity clothes and his blue shirt disappeared. I can't help but be shocked.

This green shirt is a relic left by Qinglian Xiushi, but it was stolen! Lu Zheng was very annoyed.

Just with Lu Zheng's current cultivation, I don't know who can steal his coat? Lu Zheng was puzzled and simply didn't think about it anymore. He had to wear the six-pin imperial clothes from the storage bag. It turned out that when Lu Zheng went on an expedition, he was afraid of being laughed at by Jingyao and did not wear his imperial uniform.

After Lu Zheng's meditation, the sky slowly lit up. Zhao Rui came out of the tent and hurried over to see Lu Zheng alone there.

"Lord Lu, you didn't sleep all night last night?" Zhao Rui asked apologetically.

Lu Zheng still woke up and said to Zhao Rui, "It doesn't matter. I meditated last night and was not sleepy at all. After breakfast, we must speed up the march and make sure to get to Nanping County tonight.

Zhao Rui nodded hurriedly and said, "I have orders." After saying that, he hurriedly handed down the order. The firemen were busy burying the pot to make rice. After the soldiers finished eating, they pulled out the village and marched.

In the evening, the army had rushed to the realm of Nanping County. The Nanping County magistrate led people with rewarded wine and meat to greet them on both sides of the road.

The Nanping County magistrate came forward first and saluted Lu Zheng, "Peng Jilang, a subordinate, kowtowed to welcome the inspector!"
