Chapter 7 Blue Flag Camp

When Li Ping woke up in a daze, he found that the sun was already very high, and he didn't know when he fell asleep last night.

When he was rubbing his eyes, he found Song Baolai sitting not far from him.

This Song Baolai was the driver of the Jetta. He was from Henan. He was 29 years old before the time travel. According to him, he ran a small paper mill in partnership with others. He was not tall, but he was very stocky and had a pretty face.

To be honest and honest.

Coming to this universe, Song Baolai became a 17-year-old servant in the family of Miss Zhao's best friend, Miss Gao Lei.

And Gao Lei is the pink girl in his car, a 16-year-old rich lady in this time and space, and the best friend of Miss Zhao.

Gao Lei does not belong to the Zhao family. The reason why she was able to flee with her was mainly because her only remaining family member (a certain elder) was a close friend of life and death with an elder of the Zhao family, so she was sheltered. But the only remaining elder also

Unfortunately, he lost his life on that night of lightning and thunder.

Fate is really weird sometimes. Two time and space, three cars and three groups of people remain unchanged.

Song Baolai always found some excuse to come to Li Ping's place these days, which Li Ping could understand. This Song Baolai was alone and unfamiliar with everyone, and the people in the Mercedes-Benz business didn't look like Yi Yu.

Senior, he can't vent his emotions to a girl like Gao Lei every day.

What's more, he and Gao Lei were not familiar with each other. That day, he was only temporarily entrusted by his eldest sister to give Gao Lei a ride. It was also the first time that the two met, so how could they talk a lot.

Li Ping seems to be quite tough, but he is also somewhat polite and does not speak much. If he is not provoked, he has no airs, is very kind, and is used to listening, so Song Baolai also

I am willing to join him.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that Li Ping is just a security guard and will not cause Song Baolai a sense of oppression!

After packing up his jackets and putting them back into the tent, Li Ping found a place to put some water. He took a few sips of water from the cowhide water bag he carried with him, and then walked to the open space at the edge of the camp and started doing some simple things.

Stretching exercises.

His young body is very sturdy and has a strong ability to adapt to harsh environments. Although he slept on a blanket all night, he did not feel any discomfort in his body.

Most of the soldiers in the surrounding posts were not surprised by the various strange actions Li Ping made every morning. They had become accustomed to the common preferences of the post commander Zhao Jin and the captain Li Ping.

Song Baolai had been following Li Ping, chatting incessantly. When he reached a place where no one was around, he started to talk about secret topics:

"Du Youyi went to Zhao Lanyue twice yesterday and gave him a lot of food and clothing. Li Shengcai took the initiative to massage Du Youyi again, and also boasted about how powerful his technique was and how effective it was. Du Youyi felt so comfortable and tight.

He said that he would come to press every day in the future, which made Shi Ming so angry that he glared at Li Shengcai several times. Gao Lei cried that time a few days ago. Several people cried yesterday, but she still didn't cry, she just stayed in a daze. Some people said

She is possessed by a demon..."

"Baolai, can you ride a horse?" Li Ping suddenly interrupted.

Song Baolai didn't react at first, but soon he said proudly: "How can that be possible? I have a few friends who make money by doing horse riding tours in scenic spots. I just go riding and have fun without giving them money.

I’m very familiar with it, and I can even stab things with a spear on horseback, and I’ve tried it many times.”

Li Ping was a little surprised when he heard this, so he paused and said seriously: "That's good. Listen to my brother and save some food. If something goes wrong, you must be smart."

"I know, brother. After you left yesterday, Shi Ming also told everyone to make some preparations. He listened to what Brother Zhao said... Well... Well, if it really comes to that point, I, I, I want to listen to you.

"Song Baolai suddenly choked up and looked nervously at Li Ping, with a different look in his eyes.

Li Ping was stunned for a moment, but he understood immediately.

So he showed a smile and said, "Okay, I'll call you when the time comes."

Song Baolai immediately beamed with joy, but immediately lowered his head and became a little nervous, as if he still had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Li Ping was also a little confused.

"Then, let's take that Gao Lei with me, right? It's just that she doesn't seem to know how to ride a horse." Song Baolai whispered in a very uneasy voice.

Li Ping suddenly became petrified. He muttered twice, but said nothing. His instinct was to reject the words sternly, but he couldn't say anything.

Song Baolai stole a glance at Li Ping, grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered urgently: "Well, if there is a horse, I can ride one with her, and I should be able to keep up with you."

Li Ping's face turned slightly red.

Humanity can best be seen in critical moments. He really didn't expect that this young man who had always been inconspicuous had such qualities. He truly felt his own insignificance and his heart was filled with shame.

"If she is willing, we can all go together." Li Ping took a breath and said firmly.

Song Baolai suddenly raised his head, his face full of excitement, rubbed his hands and said, "Zhong, I'll go and tell her right now, she should be willing."

After Song Baolai left, Li Ping looked at his back for a long time without saying anything.

He suddenly felt that life and death were no longer so important. It was just a matter of survival, and some things could no longer be lost.

After breakfast, Li Ping continued to practice riding a mule, but soon he discovered something strange.

In fact, there was nothing else. It was just too quiet. The entire Zhuxian Town and its surroundings were unusually quiet. Zuo Liangyu did not mobilize any more troops to fight against the peasant army, and there was no movement from other Ming armies.

By noon, this abnormality finally made Li Ping start to become anxious, and his mind became more and more chaotic.

When he was hesitating whether to go back, the stupid Liu San ran all the way to look for him.

It turned out that the only remaining elder of the Zhao family finally failed to survive and died. Zhao Jin hurriedly asked Liu San to find Li Ping, who had to go back to help with the funeral arrangements.

But Li Ping's face was full of doubts on his way back. He remembered that although the Zhao elder had been lying in the tent to recover from his injuries all day, it was said that his complexion had been very good yesterday and had been getting better.

?

Then he was startled, and then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never heard any movement from the Zhao elders last night.

You must know that people who are injured in this era do not have effective anti-inflammatory and painkillers. The pain caused by inflammation, redness and swelling of the wound is very unbearable, especially at night when the surroundings are empty.

And a quiet night will greatly amplify the effects of various sounds, making it almost impossible for awake people nearby not to hear any movement.

This is very abnormal, something must have happened.

When Li Ping returned, the boss of their base, Du Youyi, also arrived. He was a bearded man with a sinewy face.

He was comforting Zhao Lanyue who was covering her face and crying softly.

Zhao Lanyue's performance was excellent, her soft and pitiful appearance was very pitiful.

But Li Shengcai went too far. The guy was crying and crying beside him. He didn't know that he thought the person who died was his close relative.

As for the others, they were not so into the drama. Although they all tried their best to put on a sad face, no one could squeeze out a tear, and most of them lowered their heads and hid their faces.

Fortunately, Li Ping has no connection with the elder Zhao family, so he doesn't have to worry about how to act.

No one seemed to have any doubts about the death of the Zhao elder. I heard that no one even went to check. Only Du Youyi, an outsider, went in to take a look and bowed.

During the war, people died every day, and it was even rarer for a seriously injured person to die. It was indeed unrealistic to attract more attention.

The aftermath is actually very simple.

There is no need to think about the coffin. If you can wrap it with a mat, have your own separate grave, and have a tombstone that lets ghosts and gods know your name, it is already a rich burial.

When he was buried, in front of a row of graves (buried together with his relatives who had died a few days ago), Li Ping was able to carefully observe everyone's expressions.

If there is really a conspiracy and he is so ruthless in using other people's lives to protect his own, he is definitely a dangerous person.

Zhao Jin remained expressionless as usual, Shi Ming kept a sullen face, Wang Chengwu kept his brows furrowed, Li Shengcai was still crying, Liu Shixiong showed sarcasm from time to time, and Song Baolai remained silent the whole time.

After Li Ping secretly observed for a while, he gave up because there was no way to tell the clues just from his expression.

Perhaps this will become a mystery that can never be solved.

At the same time, Li Ping also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is cruel, their identities are much safer.

This has been a pressing issue plaguing them for several days.

If those elders had not died, it would be almost impossible for the speech tone, living habits, etc. of people like Zhao Lanyue, Shi Ming, etc. to remain undisclosed over time. After all, these things cannot be explained by frustration.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Ping was still waiting quietly to straighten his hair.

Humanity and numbness made him a little upset.

At this time, the constant sound of horse hooves caught his attention, and he had to put away his random speculations and look around.

Then, he saw two knights wearing waist-length armor and holding blue triangular flags running through the camp. Outside the camp, more knights holding flags were galloping toward his camp.

The blue triangular small flag is the usual order flag format of the Ming army. Generally, there is also a big word "order" written in the middle of the flag. A standard Ming army order soldier will not only hold a blue triangular order flag, but also wear the same clothes.

There will also be a big word "order" in the middle and behind.

Li Ping knew that these distinctively armored messengers and cavalry could only be found under the command of generals at the rank of commander-in-chief. It was probably either Zuo Liangyu or Ding Qirui who was giving the order.

At this time, with such impatience and such a message being circulated throughout the army, I don’t know what the urgent matter is.

But no matter how confused he was, he didn't dare act cool like a middle-schooler and yell: "Hey! Brother, what's the matter?" or simply stop the person and ask for clarification.

He didn't want to lose his head.

In fact, no one has the courage.

It is strictly forbidden to block or question the messenger before he completes the order. This is a very important rule in the ancient army.

It can range from being whipped to being whipped or losing your head in severe cases. It's really no joke.

In fact, the rules in the ancient army were far more strict than the imagination of later generations. For example, the Tangbao cavalry or infantry (responsible for the reconnaissance of the front army) always had direct access to the commander, even if the deputy commander dared to ask in advance.

There is only a dead end.
