At this time, the main camp of the Imperial Guard in Yanshan was thrown into a flurry of activity after Zhang Wu, an imperial guard, rushed over to deliver an urgent message.

  Originally, there was a notice before that they would go on an expedition with the Northern Expedition Army. At that time, everyone was still excited, especially Zhang Feng. He thought he had to wait a few more years to have the opportunity to fight against the Guanwai people, but unexpectedly, after joining the army for only a few months, he could participate in such a large-scale battle as the Northern Expedition.

  It's said that the Light Wei State has 2 million people on this road, but when Zhang Feng heard the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Wei State, he couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart, and involuntarily thought of the towering Gaoshan Mountains blocking his way.

  Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he was worrying for nothing. How would the Duke of Wei know about a small general like him? Besides, nothing had happened between him and Xi'er, so there was no reason for him to be so anxious...

  The sudden order disrupted all the deployments of the Zhonghuwei. After hearing the subsequent news from Wang Ye, Commander Tang Yun decided to advance with the main force first, while the reserve team transporting grain and ammunition would move forward slowly, otherwise it would be impossible not to fall behind in such a hurry.

  The task of escorting the military supplies fell on Wang Zhen, Ji Ying and Ni Chong, three hundred heads. Coincidentally, Ji Ying was Sun Ma Zi's brother-in-law, and Wang Zhen and Ji Ying didn't get along well either. Who knows why they were assigned to escort together.

  Qiu Fuqian's face was even more displeased upon hearing the news. He had only these hundred men under his command, and now two of them were lost in the rear. Did Commander Zhang have some opinion about him?

  They were busy packing up their gear, but Zhang Feng and the others took a breather because they had to sort out their military supplies from Beiping. They wouldn't be able to leave until tomorrow at the earliest, so now that they suddenly had some free time, they didn't know what to do with themselves. About half an hour passed before the entire Zhonghu Guards' camp of over 14,000 soldiers set off in formation and merged with the rear camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

  The once bustling military camp was now deserted, with only the three hundred soldiers left. The three hundred gathered together to discuss tomorrow's arrangements.

  "Just now, the king ordered us to enter the city with the main army later, and tonight we will gather at the big drill ground. The food and military equipment will be loaded onto carts overnight, and tomorrow morning we will depart from the northern gate of Beijing, which will also save some time." Wang Zhen calmly conveyed the order from the palace.

  Ji Ying just hummed and turned to leave the tent, while Ni Chuan smiled and made a round of conversation: "Brother Ji may still have some things to deal with, Brother Wang don't mind, by the way, when are we departing?"

  "A moment later, you might as well go and tell that fool." Wang Zhen said indifferently, as if he couldn't see Ji Ying's sudden departure.

  Ni Cong smiled and left, the three hundred households who were going to march together next seemed not so pleasant, and it was unknown whether this transportation of military supplies would go smoothly.

  "Assemble! All soldiers assemble immediately!" Zhang Feng and others who were just watching the excitement also hastily formed up to head towards Beiping City.

  Zhang Feng was also planning to take this opportunity to bid farewell to Xiao Ping'er and only say goodbye to Niu Lao and his wife. When he would return from this expedition was still unknown, and it was unclear whether he could come back at all. He wanted to make preparations for Xiao Ping'er.

  The great camp was not far from the city of Beiping, and Zhang Feng and his men soon entered the city. At this time, the people in the city were still immersed in the majestic and powerful appearance of the Northern Expeditionary Army that had just passed by.

  Although it is said that those who spy on the great army without reason will be killed without pardon, the old people in Beiping City cannot help but satisfy their curiosity. It has been many years since such a large army passed through last time. Now, looking at the iron army of our Great Ming Dynasty with a majestic momentum, as a Ming person, how can they not feel proud!

  "Hundred House Master, since there's nothing going on this afternoon, may I take a short leave from the camp?" Zhang Feng asked respectfully to Wang Zhen.

  "I'll give you a temporary leave of one hour, but you must return to the team before closing camp. Otherwise, you will be punished according to military law." Wang Zhen waved his hand, he had guessed what Zhang Feng was going to do. After all, back then, only Zhang Feng in the entire bandit-suppressing army had a "dragging oil bottle" on him, and people said that Commander Zhang had taken in a sister as a scout, this rumor had spread throughout their entire thousand-household unit, how could Wang Zhen not know?

  It was still the same alley, Xiao Pingzi was tightly hugging his big brother and wouldn't let him leave. The old couple also didn't go to the outskirts with other villagers to join in the excitement, they were now heartbrokenly looking at Xiao Pingzi whose eyes were red.

  When she learned that her big brother was going to leave for a long, long time, Xiao Ping'er's golden beans fell drop by drop without stopping. She didn't want to and couldn't bear the thought of her big brother leaving. Most importantly, she was afraid, afraid that her big brother would also be like her father, gone forever. She had already experienced the taste of loneliness once, the bitter pain of being ridiculed.

  She didn't want to lose someone close to her for a second time, really didn't want to, didn't want...

  "Alright! Bottles, big brother just went to deliver something to the people in front and nothing will happen, really, I'll be back soon to see you." Zhang Feng patted Bottles' back to comfort her.

  Xiao Ping'er grasped Zhang Feng's clothes tightly, biting her lip and saying nothing, only softly sobbing on Zhang Feng's shoulder.

  The two of them remained silent for a long time, and in the end it was Xiao Ping who compromised first: "Alright big brother, let's make a deal, you have to promise not to change your mind, you must come back, and you must come back early!"

  After finishing, she stretched out her little finger and looked at Zhang Feng with full expectation. In her mind, she thought that the promise of pulling a hook was the most credible. When she was young, her father also made a hook with her like this. The only time she got sick and didn't make a hook with her father, the result was that her father never came back...

  Zhang Feng also stretched out his little finger under the gaze of Xiao Ping'er, and then the two thumbs, one big and one small, were pressed tightly together.

  The little bottle's face finally showed a smile, the sunset glow shone on the two people, the innocent child's smiling face was pure and harmless, this pair of siblings with no blood relationship made a promise here.

  The little bottle, who had been trusting Lagou wirelessly, didn't stop Zhang Feng this time either. She let Nai Nai lead her back to the house, but with her back to Zhang Feng, she raised her left arm high and curled up four fingers, leaving only a small curved pinky...

  Zhang Feng smiled, he was very happy. After forcing Old Man Niu to leave a large sum of money behind, Zhang Feng turned around and walked towards the school grounds without any lingering attachment.

  The little bottle had a safe place, and the master didn't need to worry about it himself. From then on, Zhang Feng, who was free from worries, wanted to go north of the pass and face the Yuan enemy directly. He wanted to take a look at what kind of people the Mongols were, who had established the vast Yuan Dynasty in the land where horses' hooves trampled.

  As the greatest enemy of our great Ming dynasty, Zhang Feng should be faced with reverence, killed with ruthless blades, and conquered with fearless bravery!

  Settle family feuds and national hatreds all at once, the northern barbarians will not rest until they die...
