Chapter 1098 Guarding the Tower
After making up his mind, he felt much better.
As dusk approached, he invited Zhan Xuan to his side.
He frowned and said, "Master Zhan, have you heard of the Wenguang Tower, the border between our Sheng Dynasty and the barbarians?"
Zhan Xuan nodded: "I've heard of it. It should be somewhere not far from the military camp, right?"
Xiao Zhuo replied, "Yes, the barbarians have been getting increasingly restless lately, constantly harassing our tower guards. They want to provoke us into starting a war, and their tactics are endless. One of the tower guards was seriously injured, and they're short on manpower right now. Why don't you and your friends go over there?"
Zhan Xuan frowned. How could he not see that Xiao Zhuo was going to send him away?
However, Shouwenguang Pagoda is indeed a good place to go.
He is now taking care of three people, and Pang Qiang is a woman. If they are discovered, it will be very troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, he agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I will obey the general's order and go to Wenguang Pagoda immediately!"
Xiao Zhuo quickly waved his hand: "No, this is not an order from me. I am just discussing with you. If you are willing to go, that would be great. If you feel reluctant, you can still stay in the barracks!"
Zhan Xuan couldn't help but smile with his eyes narrowed, thinking to himself, Xiao Zhuo is really an old fox. He asked him to volunteer to go to Wenguang Tower.
He was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his father in the future!
He immediately said, "General Xiao, how about I stay in the barracks?"
"This?" Xiao Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale and complicated.
Zhan Xuan stood up suddenly and said, "General, can't you be more open and honest? Can't the son of Marquis Zhan Yi be sent to guard the Wenguang Pagoda? Why are you afraid of him?"
After saying this, he strode out of the tent.
Looking at his back, Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but mutter, "This brat is really scheming and has so many tricks up his sleeve. It's impossible to fool him!"
The confidant comforted him: "Don't worry, General. As long as he doesn't get into trouble in front of you, we will have plenty of excuses to shirk responsibility in the future!"
Xiao Zhuo waved his hand and asked him to send someone to escort Zhan Xuan and the other three to Wenguang Tower.
On the way, Xie Jianshu asked heartlessly, "Boss Xuan, are we considered exiled? I heard that the fighting over at Wenguang Tower is real, and the barbarian soldiers are very fierce!"
Zhan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid?"
Xie Jianshu raised his chin proudly: "No, I didn't. Since I came to the military camp, what's the point if I don't fight a battle?"
This sentence reminded Zhan Xuan that he should not take his friends into danger on his own initiative, and he should ask for their opinions.
He quickly stopped and said, "Ye Li, Pang Qiang, would you two like to follow me to Wenguang Pagoda? It's very dangerous there, and barbarian soldiers often come to harass us!"
The two answered almost in unison: "Yes!"
Zhan Xuan said worriedly, "But I'm afraid that swords and knives will be merciless. If you get hurt, I'll be very sad!"
Ye Li quickly assured: "Boss Xuan, we can protect ourselves, right, Sister Pang Qiang?"
Pang Qiang also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my kung fu is also very powerful. In short, Ye Li and I will not be a burden to you!"
Zhan Xuan frowned and interrupted: "I don't regard you as a burden, I just don't want you to get hurt. Forget it, let's go!"
After about two days of travel, the four of them finally arrived at Wenguang Pagoda.
I have to say, the conditions here are really tough.
Apart from a few tents, there were no other buildings.
The people escorting them didn't want to stay any longer and turned around and left, as if they were afraid that they would be left behind if they walked too slowly.
Xie Jianshu was packing up his tent while cursing, "Damn it! That old bastard Xiao Zhuo must have been deliberately trying to mess with us by sending us to this godforsaken tower!"
Zhan Xuan raised his hand and patted him: "Put your resentment back. Now that you're here, you'll have to make the best of it. There's nothing wrong with guarding the Wenguang Tower. At least you don't have to stay in the barracks and worry!"
Xie Jianshu turned his head to look at Pang Qiang and muttered softly, "That's true. If anyone finds out she's a woman disguised as a man, we'll definitely be subject to military court!"
As it was getting dark, the tents were finally packed up.
Zhan Xuan began to assign patrol tasks. He was in a group with Ye Li, while Pang Qiang was with Xie Jianshu.
Including the original soldiers, there were a total of forty people.
Zhan Xuan first took everyone to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and then they discovered that the area around Wenguang Tower was too close to the barbarians. No wonder they always wanted to plunder, the land here was really too fertile.
The people nearby also spontaneously organized themselves into a guard team and came to pay their respects to Zhan Xuan.
The leader said respectfully, "Are you the new general guarding the tower?"
Zhan Xuan quickly said, "I don't deserve it. I was indeed sent down by General Xiao to guard the Wenguang Tower. What's your name?"
The man introduced himself: "My name is Wang Fugui, and I'm the captain of the guard team elected by the people. As for the man next to me, my name is Liu Xizhi, and he's the deputy captain!"
Liu Xizhi looked very unhappy, because he felt that Zhan Xuan and others were too young. How could he be the general guarding the tower?
He had a straightforward temper to begin with, and now because he was angry, he didn't hide it at all.
He complained, "Captain, we need to go talk to General Xiao. Doesn't he care about the people living around Wenguang Pagoda? Now that it's time for the rice harvest, instead of sending elite soldiers, he only sent these four dwarfs who haven't even grown all their teeth!"
When Xie Jianshu heard this, he became furious.
He rushed over angrily and demanded, "Who did you call a dwarf? Don't you dare say that again!"
Liu Xizhi was not afraid of him. He grabbed his arm with one hand and planned to throw him to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jianshu was very agile. Not only did he not fall, he even used the force to sit on Liu Xizhi's neck, raised his fist and punched him in the head: "I'll let you call Xu the dwarf, and let you see which is harder, your mouth or my fist!"
Liu Xizhi cried out in pain after being beaten, but he had no way to get rid of him.
Seeing that Liu Xizhi had a bruised face, the strong young men following him were about to step forward to help.
Wang Fugui quickly spoke up, "Young General, are you just going to sit there and watch them fight among themselves? If the barbarians see us, they'll probably laugh at us!"
Zhan Xuan said slowly, "It wasn't us who started it. It was your vice-captain who spoke rudely first. Didn't he look down on our strength? Now is the time to let him broaden his horizons!"
Liu Xizhi argued bitterly, "He was cheating. If it were a fair fight, he wouldn't be my opponent!"
Zhan Xuan said with a stern look in his eyes: "Xiao Shu, stop first, or you won't give us a chance to talk!"
Xie Jianshu quickly jumped off Liu Xizhi and raised his fist at him: "Come on, let's have a fair fight. Let's see if I can still beat you to a pulp!"
