The prince is very fierce

The silver moon is like a hook, and the bright moonlight shines on the wild Gobi Desert in the northwest.

Tens of thousands of black armors set up camp on the Gobi Desert, and the lights extend to the end of the sky. The military flags can be seen in the distance.

In the general tent in the middle of the Xiliang Army camp, Xu Buling changed into an ordinary white robe, stood in front of the map, and discussed the situation that had just been reported with many generals. Nightingale sat at the desk as a secretary, recording the minutes of the meeting.

According to the rules, in wartime, "armor never leaves the general's body, and saddle never leaves the horse's back", and the commander should be more so. However, for a warrior of Xu Buling's level, armor is only useful when parading and showing off. When fighting, what the armor can defend can be avoided, and what the armor cannot defend can also be avoided. Wearing armor will increase the weight and affect the skills, which will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness, so this rule is naturally not to be followed.

Except for Xu Buling, Nightingale and military advisor Yue Jiulou, Tu Qianchu and Yang Zunyi who were present were all wearing black armor, with tiger head-shaped shoulder guards on both sides, which was a unique symbol of the Xiliang Army. There were also four people who were the "Four Great King Kongs" under Yang Zunyi - Yang Guanyu, Zhang He, Liu Yun, and Xu Ying.

These four people are the best of the younger generation in the Xiliang Army. Yang Guanyu is the son of Yang Zunyi, nicknamed "Second Idiot". Together with Xu Buling, he was thrown into the border army when he was just over ten years old and lived and ate with the soldiers. Although Yang Guanyu's combat power is not as terrifying as Xu Buling, his skills are definitely not bad. He is also a first-class fierce man in the army. His figure is like a polar bear, and he is one head taller than Xu Buling.

Zhang He and Liu Yun are also descendants of Xiliang generals. When their ancestors founded the country, they followed the great general Xu Lie to conquer the world. Although they were born in a family of generals, they were not ignorant like ordinary second-generation descendants. They were the best among the younger generation in terms of military strategy and personal bravery. However, they had never experienced a major war before. This time, they were pulled out by their fathers to fight with Xu Buling.

Among the four, Xu Ying was born in the lower class. He was tall and dark-skinned. He certainly did not look as imposing as those who had been in high positions for a long time, but he was only thirty years old and could hold this position. He must be the most powerful among the four.

The last time Prince Su led his army out of Qinzhou to attack Wangnan Pass of Northern Qi, it was Xu Ying who was the vanguard and led a thousand elite cavalry alone to penetrate deep into the enemy's heart to intercept reinforcements; as a result, Xu Ying led a thousand people to the city of Yuanzhou and rushed into the heart of the Qi army, causing unrest around Yuanzhou City; Prince Su was able to kill to the city of Yuanzhou so quickly, thanks to Xu Ying's bravery. After the war, Xu Ying was directly promoted to his current position and was nicknamed "Gan Lang".

Xu Buling admired Xu Ying the most among his peers. Xu Buling was fierce in that his single-player combat power was unstoppable, and he could easily crush anyone. He had to be fierce. Xu Ying, on the other hand, was really ruthless, and did not take his life seriously at all. He was very good at fighting, but his intelligence was not low either. He was brave and resourceful. Before leaving, even the King of Su had told Xu Buling not to use people indiscriminately and send Xu Ying away for nothing, which showed how much the King of Su valued him.

At this time, the discussion among the people was about the King of Chu's defection to the three kings in the east.

The King of Chu's jumping into opposition would definitely have a great impact on the situation. Without the King of Chu, the Xiliang Army could basically only rely on the palace soldiers pulled from Guanzhong, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were fighting alone.

However, before the troops were dispatched, Xiao Qi had already guessed the next move and the reaction of various forces, and also gave countermeasures. At this point, it seemed that the plan was basically perfect and there was nothing to discuss.

After Xu Buling learned about the recent moves, he dispersed the meeting and asked the seven people to return to the military tent to rest, and to speed up the march to Guanzhong tomorrow.

The Xiliang army had strict discipline and laws, and there was no noise in the camp, only the occasional black-armored soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the friction of armor made a light sound.

Outside the tent with lights on, two "guards" in light armor stood at the entrance of the tent with their swords on their waists. They were tall and straight, and looked very heroic. The only shortcoming was that they were much thinner than the rough men of the Xiliang army, and their chest muscles were more developed than ordinary men.

Many generals came out of the tent. Ning Qingye and Ning Yu closed their eyes and did not look sideways. After the generals walked away, they relaxed a little and looked at the moon in the sky with a little boredom.

After all, the most useless thing in the world is probably Xu Buling's guards.

Ning Qingye followed Xu Buling to the war, and unlike Zhongli Jiujiu, who had medical skills and could be the prince's military doctor, he naturally had the title of a personal soldier. Originally, Xu Buling asked Ning Qingye to stay in the tent, and there was no need to really stand guard. But Ning Qingye has a straightforward personality. He does his job well and doesn't want to take his salary and do nothing. He will stand here seriously every day until Chuchu comes to change his shift.

Ning Yuhe has nothing to do in the military tent. There is nothing wrong with being closer to Xu Buling, so he naturally follows.

Seeing that the negotiation is over and the military tent is quiet, Ning Yuhe secretly glanced behind him. Perhaps he wanted to comfort his disciple who had been busy all day, and said softly:

"Qingye, it's getting late. You go down and rest. I will help you stand."

Ning Qingye stood straight. He calculated the time. It was still a while before the shift change. He shook his head and said:

"Master, you don't have to accompany me. Just go down and rest."

Seeing this, Ning Yuhe had to give up the idea of ​​serving Xu Buling and smiled:

"Then I will go back first, and you should rest early too."

"Master, don't worry. I will go back and rest when the time comes."

Ning Yuhe nodded slightly and walked away slowly.

Ning Qingye's expression was calm as he watched his master walk away. After his figure disappeared in the military tent, he blinked, glanced back quietly, and then coughed lightly.

"Cough——"

In the commander's tent, Xu Buling, who was looking at the file, raised his eyelids when he heard the voice:

"Come in."

Ning Qingye glanced around a few times, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he turned around and entered the general's tent.

The temporary general's tent was where Xu Buling usually rested during meetings. It was not luxurious, but considering his status as the prince of a vassal king, it was not shabby. There was a weapon rack hanging on the side, with horse lances, foot lances, knives, spears, and swords hanging on it, and a set of black armor was placed next to it. Behind the screen was a bed, with a few small tables on both sides, and a map placed in the middle.

Nightingale had finished her work and was stretching her muscles in the general's tent. When she saw Ning Qingye coming in, she walked outside with a tactful look:

"Sir, I'll go boil some water."

Xu Buling put down the file and said with a smile: "Qingye, is there anything?"

Ning Qingye was wearing light armor, but she was tall and straight, and her face was even more delicate. She looked as beautiful as ever, and she also added a bit of heroic spirit that was as good as a man. She walked up to Xu Buling and said calmly:

"Did I disturb you from your work?"

"No, I've finished it."

Xu Buling sat a little to the side and patted the seat beside him: "Come and sit down."

Ning Qingye didn't move, standing in front of the table, his hand still on the handle of the knife, his eyes narrowed:

"What? You want to practice Tai Chi push hands with me again?"

Xu Buling nodded: "Yes, I've been learning Tai Chi and other internal martial arts recently. There is a key to 'receiving, transforming, and releasing' that I can't figure out. You just happened to tell me about it."
