The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 126 Death Row

At this time, Feng Wan'er took out a purse from Qinglan's hand, put it in Changsun Ji's hand and said, "Husband, this is the purse I embroidered for you. After you go out this time, you must carry it close to your body. It will replace the purse." I'm by your side."

Changsun Ji picked up the purse and looked at it. The silk and satin on the outside were blue, and there were two mandarin ducks embroidered on it. It is with heart.

"My lord, this purse was made by the master after staying up all night for two nights. I don't know how many times my hands were pricked by needles." Qing Lan interjected.

Because in the past few days, I have been busy with various things on the expedition.He was so busy with various things such as logistics transportation and weapon distribution, so he didn't spend the night in the mansion these few days, so he didn't know about Feng Wan'er embroidering the purse overnight for him.

Hearing this, Changsun Ji pulled Feng Wan'er's hand over to have a look.I saw many needle holes on the originally tender and smooth fingers, and the scars of these needle holes have healed, leaving little red spots.

Looking at Feng Wan'er who was blushing a little because he held his hand, Changsun Ji was really moved, touched the needle hole in his hand with some distress, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Feng Wan'er shook her head lightly.

Changsun Ji pulled her back and held her in his arms.My heart is full of satisfaction.Qing Lan also wisely exited the room slowly, leaving space for them.

After a brief remembrance, and a few words of care, Changsun Ji was about to leave.

It wasn't that Changsun Ji didn't want to stay with Feng Wan'er for a while, but that there was a customary rule in the Yan Kingdom before the expedition, that is, the day before the expedition, the general had to stay in the army, and he had to rest in the army at night.

He also stayed in the army on the first day after returning from the war, and stayed in the army overnight.It means that the general and the soldiers share weal and woe. Although it is just an appearance, it is not easy for him to behave independently, so he still has to do it.

Yesterday, he had bid farewell to Mrs. Gao, because the eldest grandson Lianyi was not in Beijing, and he didn't need to visit other people. He just had a brief reunion with Xingtai's acquaintances.

After saying goodbye to Feng Wan'er briefly, Changsun Ji took Wang Gang and a group of personal guards out to the military camp outside the city.Leading the army to go out, if there are not a few trustworthy guards around, it will not work.

The bodyguards he carried with him were not many, only a dozen or so, but they were all drawn from the Changsun Mansion and the Changsun Bieyuan.

Changsun Ji also took great pains for their equipment, and Shen Qiuyi specially asked Shen Qiuyi to customize it in the major blacksmith shops in the capital.The horses are also good horses bought at the horse market.

As for why Changsun Ji didn't cut off some of the equipment distributed by the court to arm them.Changsun Ji will definitely talk about the sad things emotionally.

He wants to too.But the imperial court didn't allocate much to him at all, not to mention the armor, but the cotton padded clothes for the winter. Changsun Ji made countless trips, only to get two-thirds of the quota.

The weapon was still the crown prince he had found, and it was only after being soft and hard that he asked each of his soldiers for a knife.

It's not that someone gave him small shoes, but that Emperor Yan personally took away too many supplies, and the court has to ensure the supply and demand there at all times.After all, no matter how courageous these officials are, they would not dare to cut off the emperor's supply and demand.

As for the food, Changsun Ji didn't worry about it. Xia Houchun, as the grain transport officer in charge of logistics, Xiahou Fishing and Hunting arranged for him properly.

He didn't bring Cheng Ping with him this time, because he was afraid that something unexpected would happen in Beijing. Cheng Ping could help deal with it when he was not around.

There are not many people on the road, so they are not worried about bumping into ordinary people.A group of people whipped the horse's butt a few times, and soon left the city.

The military camp is not far from the capital. This was originally the camp of the Tiger Roaring Camp, but the Tiger Roaring Camp had been taken to Jizhou by Emperor Yan, so their disaster victims and death row prisoners were arranged to practice here.

A few people rushed straight to the Tiger Roar camp, the horses galloped, and they arrived at the gate of the camp in a short time.

As a result, before entering the camp, Changsun Ji heard the noise coming from inside, frowned slightly, and Changsun Ji looked at Wang Gang.Wang Gang nodded and rode his horse into the camp.

Not long after, he came out on horseback again.Behind him, Xue Zhongchang came out with several soldiers.

"I've met the general." As soon as he left the gate of the camp, Xue Zhongchang greeted Changsun Ji.

He respected Changsun Ji very much.Because Changsun Ji is regarded as a noble person in his life, all he has learned in his life is the art of commanding troops.But he has been suffering from no one to promote him, so he can only be a small prison head in prison.

And Changsun Ji directly promoted him from a small jailer to a commander in command of the army, so he was naturally very grateful.

Changsun Ji got off the horse, handed the reins to the guard behind him, stepped forward, supported Xue Zhongchang with a friendly face, and said with a smile: "Stay on guard, there is no need to be polite."

Because Xue Zhongchang has a stable job, although he is only a prison guard, he is also a member of the government in ordinary families.So I don't worry about marriage, so I took the word early.

"What's the matter in the camp? Why is it so noisy?" Changsun Ji asked Xue Zhongchang as he walked to the camp.

"Oh, there is a death row prisoner in the camp. He was rebellious. He was going to escape from the camp yesterday, but he was caught back. Now he is being whipped by Brother Guo in public."

Changsun Ji paused slightly, and said: "They are all victims of disasters and death row prisoners. They don't have much morale in the army, and their cohesion is poor. Now is not the time for kindness. If you catch deserters, you have to make an example. Otherwise, they won't be able to reach the battlefield. All escaped."

"Is there still an inspection team formed?"

"The inspector team has been set up. Please rest assured, general, Ding Shou understands the reason why compassion does not command soldiers. The head has already been hung on the flagpole at the gate."

"The disaster victims in the army are still safe, and there is no escape. Most of these people who want to escape are death row prisoners in the army. As long as they are caught, they will be beheaded immediately."

"As for the prisoner this time, he is a good soldier. It would be a pity to kill him directly. It is better to let him go to the battlefield to kill a few more enemies and make meritorious deeds." Xue Zhongchang explained.

Changsun Ji nodded, since Xue Zhongchang had vouched for this person.If he was ordering the killing of this person, he seemed to be a little considerate of his subordinates, but he was just a death row prisoner, and it was not worth him to slap the face of this newly recruited subordinate.

"This person can be so important, there must be something special about him, let's go, let's go and have a look." Changsun Ji suggested.

"General please."

Led by Xue Zhongchang, a group of people walked from the entrance of the Huxiao camp to the gate. Along the way, Xue Zhongchang introduced the current situation of the barracks to Changsun Ji.
