Chapter 743: Pursuit
After running around for a day and a night, they only rested for less than three hours in Dongning City. If it had been before, those bandits who were used to being free would have started making trouble.
But not this time.
I don’t know if they are still bitter about someone robbing their money, or if everyone has gradually adapted to the forbidden military life.
In short, when Chen Ze came to South City Gate Square, what he saw was an army already in formation.
This still looks a bit like it.
He nodded, although in terms of the formation, it could still be seen that it was clearly divided into two parts.
The part with fewer people has a more uniform military appearance, and it can be seen that they have undergone strict training.
The one with the vast majority of people looks good at first glance, but it cannot withstand closer inspection, and many messy traces can still be seen in it.
Huang Liang was running around among his men, sweating all over his forehead.
Chen Ze smiled, knowing that this guy had worked hard to regain his identity. The reason why he was so busy right now was just to earn more performance in front of him, so that he could be recognized by others at the celebration meeting in the future.
Chen Ze said some kind words in front of Ouyang Lixing.
Huang Liang, who was wiping his sweat, suddenly saw that Chen Ze had arrived nearby. He didn't dare to be lazy at that moment. He quickly ran to Chen Ze and said loudly: "Master Chen, the troops are ready at any time."
It’s time to go!”
Chen Ze nodded without comment.
Comparing these two, it can be seen that Yao Zuofeng is several grades higher than Huang Liang.
Yao Zuofeng was willing to block other possible areas for Chen Ze, but when faced with Chen Ze's words that he would ask Ouyang Lixing for credit for him afterwards, he didn't say anything and even rejected Chen Ze's kindness, thinking that it was just his.
Domestic affairs.
But here in Huangliang, he really wanted Chen Ze to write a letter now, so that Ouyang Lixing could not only restore his status, but it would be even better if he could be promoted to a higher rank.
As for Yao Zuofeng, Chen Zenai really wanted to show his merit for him, and even considered for him how to help him get rid of his guilt if the situation changed later.
But for Huang Liang, he had no such idea.
This person's purpose is too obvious. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but Chen Ze just doesn't like him from the bottom of his heart. There is nothing he can do about it.
If everything goes well, he doesn't mind explaining the situation to Ouyang Lixing and allowing Huang Liang to resume his status as a general. But if the situation changes, then... everyone can just go their separate ways.
Looking at Huang Liang, Chen Ze sighed slightly in his heart, but showed nothing on his face. He just said lightly: "Thank you, Brother Huang, let's set off now."
"No hard work, no hard work!"
Huang Liang smiled dryly and had no objection, so he quickly went down to make arrangements.
Not long after, the army, which had not even stayed in Dongning City for a whole night, set off from the south gate again and began to move towards its destination.
With this departure, the remaining civilians in Dongning City finally breathed a sigh of relief. After worrying all day long, some people finally had the courage to walk out of their homes. After checking, they cheered.
Many people also rushed out of the city to report the good news to their relatives and friends who had escaped from the city but had not gone far.
However, when the two parties met, they said that the bandits were gone and that it was General Yao's work. They were completely confused.
However, no matter what happens in Dongning City, Chen Ze's place has already started the emergency march mode again.
I still remember that Chen Ming encountered that bandit in the early morning. Although these bandits most likely would not get up early in the morning and rush on their way, they were still far behind after all.
Therefore, during the march, Chen Ze sent Tang Tianxing out again, letting him go to the front to inquire about the situation.
Tang Tianxing had no complaints about this.
You must know that he also experienced a whole night of rushing. It would be a lie to say that he was not tired.
Then when Yao Zuofeng came to Dongning City, he was ordered by Chen Ze to go first to observe the opponent's movements.
Later, there was no danger. Yao Zuofeng finally believed Chen Ze's words and ran to stand up for him. However, Tang Tianxing and Tang Feng and his son, for the sake of safety, did not return to the city with Chen Ze and others to take a rest.
It can be said that in this army, the only ones who have not had any rest are these two father and son.
With such intensity, even if Tang Feng's skills were not weak, he was still overwhelmed and yawned constantly while riding on the horse.
But at this time, Chen Ze sent Tang Tianxing out again. Tang Feng, who didn't have much experience in marching and fighting, looked on in shock.
Several times I wanted to stop him, but I felt like I didn't have the right position to do so.
So, until he watched Tang Tianxing disappear before his eyes, he did not say the words he was holding in his mouth.
Instead, Chen Ze urged his horse to come to him and said in a deep voice: "Your father is a good general who wholeheartedly cares for the empire!"
"Good general?"
Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Ze.
Tang Tianxing did not have a military rank, let alone a general. At most, he was just a servant with high martial arts skills.
At least that's what Tang Feng thought before.
He had never known his father's whereabouts, and it was not until recently that he saw his father for the first time in the Lord's Mansion of Bo'an City.
To be honest, Tang Feng was disappointed with Tang Tianxing.
This man was willing to abandon his wife and children back then, so what he got in exchange was just a follower?
Although the person he follows is a general soldier, and his status is not low, a follower is a follower, and this will not change.
Likewise, you have to do whatever others ask you to do.
Even though the relationship between the two men later eased due to a series of events, this incident has always been a thorn in Tang Feng's heart, and he often broods over it.
Take for example just now.
He was obviously very tired, but after Chen Ze gave the order, Tang Tianxing left without complaining at all.
This made Tang Feng quite unacceptable.
But Chen Ze's first sentence was that his father was a good general who only thought about the empire?
"he……"
Tang Feng opened his mouth, but found that what he wanted to say could not be said.
He is just a follower, how can he be a good general?
The words stuck in my throat were this sentence.
"Do you think your father is taking orders from me?"
Chen Ze didn't care how confused Tang Feng's expression was, and said seriously: "You are wrong. With my military rank, how can I command your father?"
"The reason why he chose to obey my orders is that he knew very well what he should do at what time."
