Chapter 139: Crow Gorge (4)

Listening to the unscrupulous laughter in the tent, Su Ling's anger was ignited even more. He roared at the little general who passed the message, "Where is she?"

The little general was so scared that his face turned blue. He didn't dare to hide it and immediately replied, "Madam was still on the hillside instructing the soldiers on the sliding technique just now."

She was still on the hillside? Knowing that she was not deliberately playing temper, Su Ling's anger subsided a little at this moment, but the stuffy anger of being disobeyed was still stuck in his throat. Now returning to the camp to face those stinky boys made him even more angry. Su Ling turned and walked toward the hillside.

Just as he reached the top of the slope, he saw the soldiers still insisting on practicing in the night. The anger in Su Ling's heart also dissipated by more than half. Looking up, he didn't see the slender shadow. Calling someone casually, Su Ling asked, "Qing Mo?"

Seeing that it was Su Ling, the little general immediately stood up solemnly and replied, "Report to the General, Madam just returned to the camp."

Su Ling's sword brows furrowed slightly. At this time, it was not easy for him to leave immediately, otherwise wouldn't it seem that he was looking for her?! Looking at the practicing soldiers in front, Su Ling asked in a deep voice, "How is the practice?"

Straightening his waist, the little general replied with high spirits, "General, please rest assured, with Madam's careful teaching, the soldiers have mastered the essentials of the movement, plus hard practice, it will definitely be foolproof."

Patting the little general's shoulder hard, Su Ling smiled with satisfaction. He just liked this kind of confidence. The hearty laughter attracted the eyes of many soldiers. Looking back, it was Su Ling, and everyone's eyes lit up. The fatigue that had already appeared was swept away instantly.

Leng Xiao also happened to look up and bumped into Su Ling's line of sight. Deep eyes met cold eyes. After a while, Leng Xiao lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to organize the cloth belt in his hand. Su Ling raised his sword brows and said loudly, "You, come here."

Leng Xiao paused, stood up indifferently, walked to Su Ling, and said in a low voice, "General."

"Your name is Leng Xiao?" He remembered she called her that.

"Yes."

"New recruit?" He hadn't seen him, but looking at his performance and skills today, he didn't look like a new recruit, calm and agile.

"Yes."

This kind of momentum that is not surprised by favor or humiliation is very much to his liking. Su Ling laughed, "Very good, report to the Fu Hu Camp tomorrow."

This time Leng Xiao didn't answer, his cold eyes darkened, and he didn't see any joy.

Su Ling wondered, "You don't want to?" In the Su Family Army, the Fu Hu Camp is the elite division under his command. Any soldier who enters the camp is promoted to a lower general. It's just that it's not easy to enter. No soldier will refuse the Fu Hu Camp. He actually doesn't want to?!

Still that cold face, and the voice didn't fluctuate, Leng Xiao replied indifferently, "Thank you for the promotion, General, but Leng Xiao wants to follow the Chief more."

Before his voice fell, the little general beside him poked him hard, but Leng Xiao still didn't move.

This person is really interesting, willing to follow a woman, but not willing to enter the Fu Hu Camp! Su Ling was not angry, and laughed in a deep voice, "I will give you a chance to consider, give me an answer after suppressing the bandits."

After speaking, Su Ling didn't wait for Leng Xiao to respond and walked toward the tent.

Su Ling's back went further and further away. The little general beside him finally couldn't help but complain, "Leng Xiao, how can you be so ignorant of importance? Being able to enter the Fu Hu Camp, the future is limitless!"

Staring at Leng Xiao, who was squatting on the ground organizing the cloth belt as if nothing had happened, the little general beat his chest and stomped his feet. He had been in the Su Family Army for two years and was still a small soldier. Why didn't such a good opportunity fall on him!

Unknowingly, he actually walked to Gu Yun's tent. Su Ling paused. What was he doing here?! Thinking of Gu Yun's proud face, Su Ling turned to leave, but heard the old military physician's instructions from the tent, "Madam's injury is not serious, but the wound is quite large, so you must be careful to maintain it, otherwise you will be left with scars!"

That clear voice that always carried sarcasm in memory replied gently, "Thank you for your concern, I will be as careful as possible."

"Avoid touching water, and don't tear it like today."

After a long time, I heard Gu Yun reply perfunctorily, "Uh... as much as possible, as much as possible..."

As much as possible? What is a woman trying to be strong for?!

The big hand lifted the curtain neatly, and Su Ling walked in with big strides.

Su Ling's sudden arrival made the old military physician stand up in fear and salute, "See the General!"

Gu Yun was also stunned. What was he doing here? Thinking of the little general's report just now, knowing that he should have other things to do, Gu Yun still teased with a low laugh, "I will go over after bandaging, Great General, you don't need to be so polite and come in person!"

I don't know if I have become accustomed to Gu Yun's always praising and mocking, or if I saw the red, swollen and bleeding wound on the slender arm in the candlelight, Su Ling ignored her and asked the physician, "What's going on?" I saw the spots of blood on her black clothes in the afternoon, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.

The old military physician didn't dare to hide it and replied, "Madam's hand was injured by a whip. It didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it was very painful." Su Ling's face turned black, and the old military physician sank, and hurriedly explained, "General, don't worry too much, take good care of it, it will definitely heal!"

The bandage had been untied, and the medicine had been applied halfway. This man came in and prevented her from applying medicine properly. Gu Yun couldn't stand it and shouted, "Doctor, he is not worried, please apply the medicine quickly, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old military physician came back to his senses and hurriedly sat down to change the medicine for Gu Yun.

The wound had originally scabbed a little, and today's tearing made the wound even larger. It was more painful than the first time when applying medicine. Secretly biting her lower lip, Gu Yun didn't groan, but the thin sweat on her forehead showed how painful she was.

Under Su Ling's deep and angry gaze, the old military physician was also sweating. After finally bandaging it, the old military physician breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Alright, Madam, please take care of yourself, I will come to change the medicine tomorrow."

Gu Yun panted and laughed, "Thank you."

The old military physician retreated, and Su Ling was still standing there like a black-faced god. Gently pulling down her sleeves, Gu Yun stood up and said, "Let's go." They would specifically call her to the main camp, and there should be more important things to talk about.

The palm-sized face was full of sweat, the pale face plus the lips bitten red, how to look at it, how to be an eyesore. Su Ling was slightly angry and said, "You have an injury on your hand, you shouldn't have been strong enough to demonstrate today."

The hand was already very painful, and Gu Yun felt very uncomfortable listening to this. Stepping forward, standing opposite Su Ling, Gu Yun laughed coldly, "Great General Su, are you blaming me or caring about me?"

I don't know why she called him Great General one sentence after another, which made him very angry. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Yun took the lead and replied, "If it is blame, I don't think I did anything wrong. This is the method I thought of, so naturally I should be the first to demonstrate it. This small injury is not enough to affect my performance. If it is care..." The conversation turned, Gu Yun laughed with disgust, "No need, I will have goosebumps!"

"Qing Mo!"

Outside the tent, the patrolling soldiers only saw the tall and sturdy man and the slender and petite woman standing opposite each other under the flickering candlelight, staring at each other, affectionate, what a picture of a loving couple! No one could bear to disturb this beautiful and well-matched pair.

Whether the facts are like this, just look at Su Ling's fists that are about to bleed.

The curtain of the main camp was gently lifted by a slender hand, and Gu Yun walked in. Her face didn't look very good, but after Su Ling, who was behind her, also walked in with a black face, Su Ren felt that her face was already pleasant.

These two are either tit-for-tat or showing each other faces when they meet. Are they really a pair?! Su Ren was a little confused. Could it be that this is the legendary "not enemies, not together"?!

Su Ren was still secretly guessing, Gu Yun had already seen Yu Shijun, who was in a mess. Looking at his appearance, she knew he had just come out of the rainforest. Gu Yun laughed, "How is it? Is the rainforest fun?"

Yu Shijun lowered his head in embarrassment and replied, "This subordinate is ashamed."

Gu Yun clapped her hands and said, "Nothing to be ashamed of. That ghost place, you are very powerful to be able to come out."

Looking at a blurred map on the table, Gu Yun wondered, "What is this?" Placed so upright here?

Yu Shijun coughed lightly and replied embarrassedly, "Terrain map."

Terrain... map?! Gu Yun wanted to laugh, but it was very impolite to laugh at this time. She had to hold back! Must hold back! Lowering her head, Gu Yun nodded hard and replied, "Understand!"

There were only Su Ren and Yu Shijun in the tent, and Lou Muhai and Mu Yi were not seen. Gu Yun probably guessed what they were going to say. Sitting on a chair, she was not in a hurry to ask questions.

Su Ren looked at Su Ling and finally decided that it was better for him to say, "The forest is the biggest obstacle to suppressing bandits this time. Although the Su Family Army is brave, it has never fought in such an environment, and it is the first time it knows nothing about the enemy army. From your words and deeds and insights, it can be heard that you have some experience in forest combat. Inviting you here tonight is to listen to your opinions."

Gu Yun didn't talk nonsense and replied directly, "My opinion is that we cannot advance rashly. Lou Muhai has been here for so many years, and he hasn't succeeded in suppressing bandits. If you want to go in and fight, you have to stay here for at least half a year to have a preliminary understanding of the situation inside. So it is best to lure them out." Seeing Yu Shijun's embarrassment, she knew they had no experience in rainforest combat at all. Fighting with rebels in the rainforest is simply sending them to death!

Su Ling's face had returned to his usual cold arrogance, but the words he said still carried a bit of gunpowder, "They are not stupid, how can they give up such a good barrier and come out to fight? Even if they come out, the gold is still in the forest, and they have to go in and take it in the end."

Who is he trying to say is stupid!? Gu Yun raised her cold eyes, and the two were about to clash again. Su Ren hurriedly said, "Big Brother also makes sense. Sister-in-law, can you teach the soldiers some forest combat methods so that they can enter the forest to fight as soon as possible?"

"No." Gu Yun refused directly without even thinking.

Su Ren was stunned. No matter how angry she was at Big Brother, she shouldn't vent her anger on the Su Family Army. This is not her character!

Gu Yun's next sentence explained why she didn't teach, "Without more than three months of training, entering is undoubtedly sending them to death. I won't teach."

So that's it. Gu Yun's attitude was very firm. It would be difficult to persuade her. Su Ren lowered his head and pondered for a while. When he raised it again, he was already helpless. He shook his head and sighed, "The Emperor's imperial decree has been issued, with a period of one month. More than ten days have passed. The time left for us is only a short ten days. The imperial order cannot be violated. Not to mention the forest in front, even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, the Su Family Army must enter."

Gu Yun's face had changed slightly, Su Ren continued, "If you don't want to teach, this battle still has to be fought, but... more people will die."

"Enough." Gu Yun asked in a low voice, "You don't need to say any more, how much time can you give them at most?"

Su Ren was secretly happy and replied, "Five days."

"How many of the five hundred people I trained originally came?"

"Three hundred."

Sighing low, Gu Yun laughed bitterly, "Select five thousand elite soldiers, and select all three hundred new recruits. Tomorrow at noon, gather in the camp."

"Good!"

She finally agreed. Su Ren was very smart and grasped her weakness. She could not ignore life.
