Chapter 5 Uncomfortable honor and inferiority

The horse thief fled back in a panic was like a stray dog, and the three horse thief leaders were also panicked. The knights riding horses in the camp were really fierce, and the last shot was terrifying.

After counting the number of people, the attack on the camp was reduced by eleven times. For these three leaders, they were still within the acceptance range, and eleven words were missing, which would save a lot of food in the future.

The leaders looked at each other and everyone knew that no one was willing to give up the Gao family caravan. The other party fought so hard that the goods transported by the caravan were worth a lot of money, not to mention that they had already left the wall for a hundred miles. If they retreated at this time, everyone would be furious first for the return supplies. It would be easy if only two groups of people, but the three groups of people were even more difficult to predict and they were more taboo to each other.

Gao Chong rode his horse to the stabbed corpse and drew his iron spear from his vest. The rushing moment just now was extremely risky. If the horse thieves were not panic and were willing to sacrifice themselves to attack his mount, he would probably not be able to get it if he was alone and one horse.

"father!"

Gao Jin jumped out of the van and walked a few steps past the whine of the horse thief on the road. When he arrived at his father, Gao Chong's momentum of charging at the horse made him excited. When he was teaching in Inner Mongolia, there was a cavalry company station next to the school. He had also seen those cavalry training, but at that time the cavalry only used sabers, which was completely different from the one who had just been wearing armor and spears to rush forward.

Holding the reins of the horse, Gao Jin was like a pawn leading the horse for the victory general. Looking at the expression in his son's eyes, Gao Chong felt very happy and felt that this adventure was worth it.

Gao Chong rode on the horse and did not return to the camp. He just kept his horse with a gun. His cold eyes were still staring at the brigade of horse thieves who had not retreated after gathering the scattered horse thieves in the distance.

"Xiao Jin, this group of miscellaneous thieves are determined to be unsuccessful. The journey will definitely be dangerous. Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid of having my dad here."

Gao Jin answered with confidence. He naturally couldn't say such things after changing his past, but now he felt from the bottom of his heart that his fierce father would definitely be able to solve this group of horse thieves.

Unexpectedly, his son's answer was like this. Gao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. Although the smile on his cold face was very stiff, Gao Chong smiled happily.

"What a kid!"

The horse thieves in the distance began to retreat. If they failed to steal the camp, they could not talk about morale. If they continued to attack, they were afraid that the people's hearts would disperse first. It would be better to wait until the next day to continue to pester and harassment. The horse thieves acted like wolves. When they encountered prey, they should have enough patience to chase and intimidate them until the prey was exhausted and rushed forward, tearing the prey to pieces and swallowing it without leaving any left.

The horse thieves retreated. When the fire completely disappeared into the dark horizon in the distance, Gao Jin took the reins and led his father to the camp back to the camp. The uncles and uncles in the camp were already cleaning up the battlefield. The horse thieves who were shot and did not die were added one by one, and no one begged for mercy. The horse thieves only wanted to die. The cruelty and indifference between each other also made Gao Jin more aware of the laws of survival outside the border.

The outside of the border was bitter and cold, and the conditions were already very poor. There were horse thieves staring at him. No one would shelter the prisoners at this time. When they arrived at the exit left by the van, Gao Chong got off the horse and greeted the old soldiers, "Brothers, this group of horse thieves have just retreated temporarily. In the second half of the night, you still have to work hard and continue to watch."

"You are so kind to me, just rest and leave the night watch to us."

Lao Qiantou, who had not rushed out with Gao Chong, replied loudly. He had just confronted the horse thieves, mainly bows and arrows, but he and a few brothers who were good at hand-to-hand combat had no use. At this moment, he wanted those horse thieves to have the courage to attack the camp, so that his big axe could open the meat.

"Xiao Jin, learn more from you uncles."

Gao Chong caught a prisoner outside during the day, and then he rode his horse and rushed to fight again. He was indeed tired. He did not be polite to his old brothers. He asked Gao Jin to stay and clean the battlefield. He went back to the tent with the others to rest.

Gao Jin looked at the corpses of the horse thieves who were dragged back, saying that they were cleaning the battlefield, but in fact they were stripping the corpses and plundering property. But these horse thieves were poor. In addition to the weapons in their hands, the clothes that were worth a little money on their bodies were used to keep warm.

In the lit pine fire, Gao Jin saw a familiar figure. A tall girl dressed in men was only half shorter than him, with a handsome facial features and a slightly darker skin. She was skillfully peeling clothes from the corpse, and then skillfully shook some fragments from the mezzanine of the clothes.

"Mulan, I'll help you."

In Gao Jin's memory, this tall girl with long legs was named Wei Mulan, who was adopted by Uncle Wei. She had a close relationship with her. I vaguely remember that when she was eight years old, she followed her, but she used to be dull and rarely talked to her.

"Young Master."

Mulan looked at Gao Jin who was walking over in surprise. In her impression, Gao Jin had always been indifferent and silent. Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, there seemed to be nothing else to distinguish his heart. The two grew up together, and she also knew that this young master was actually a cold-hearted person on the outside and hot-hearted person on the inside. Now, looking at Gao Jin's smile, Mulan was a little uncomfortable.

"What a young master, just call me Erlang."

Mulan is Wei Lianhai's adopted daughter. Although she is a daughter, she is raised by her son. She has learned all about riding horses, shooting archery and using a knife. With intentional or unintentional arrangements, Mulan has been following Gao Jin, just like a maid, or more like a companion to be a close friend.

"Ada said that the young master is the young master, and the rules cannot be broken."

When Mulan heard Gao Jin's words, she felt a little happy, but she still said seriously when she answered, and she didn't stop working. Gao Jin looked at Mulan's serious expression and could only give up. She seemed to have tried it before, but it failed. The girl was stubborn when she was stubborn. Unless Uncle Wei spoke, there was no way to ask her to change her words.

"Young Master, are you different from before?"

Gao Jin was with Mulan and worked with her to pick up the clothes and fragments of things peeled from the body. His uncles and uncles left tacitly, leaving the two alone.

If you want to say that the one who knows Gao Jin best in the camp is Mulan. After all, the two have been together almost day and night in the past ten years, even their fathers are not many days a year. Listening to Mulan's words, Gao Jin just said, "It's probably because he fell down his head, so he opened his mind!"

Mulan did not answer. When her adoptive father carried Gao Jin back during the day, she was the one who was most anxious, and even complained in her heart. Why did she not let herself follow Gao Jin when she arrived in the caravan, and could only manage the coolies, make fire and make food and be a housekeeper.

"I actually had many problems in the past. I thought I had read some books and had good martial arts skills, so I looked down on others." Gao Jin said to himself. He seemed to be explaining to Mulan, and also to himself. "The king of the fortress, Chen Sheng and others have gone a little far away from me in the past few years, because of my bad habits. But when I fell today, I understood. This little ability is nothing. Why do you look down on others? If they were to come, I wouldn't be worse than me."

"Young Master is not that..."

Seeing that she no longer looked cold when she spoke, her voice became much warmer. Of course, Mulan felt that Gao Jin was better than before, so she answered very seriously.

"Wang Dou and Chen Sheng practice martial arts so hard is because of the young master. Although they don't say it, I know they admire the young master in their hearts."

"Okay, I don't know yet. Wang Dou and Chen Sheng and the others have been thinking about defeating me all day long..."

Gao Jin smiled. Wang Dou and Chen Sheng, whom Mulan mentioned, were all his playmates who had grown up since childhood. The two were a little younger than him, and they practiced martial arts together. In the past, every time they won the martial arts competition, the two of them said that they were older than them and had greater strength than them. Only when they got older could they truly decide the winner or lose.

"Mulan, you are very skillful in this technique, what Uncle Wei teaches you?" Seeing Mulan find the mezzanine from a horse thief's jacket and find a few coins of broken silver, Gao Jin couldn't help but ask, he didn't know whether Uncle Wei was an Jinyiwei. The only thing he knew was that Uncle Wei was very experienced in the martial arts world. In the past, every time he went to Shenmu Fort, he would go with Mulan. However, he had always been cold before and never asked on his own initiative. It was Mulan who talked to him that he knew that these things were of all kinds of sects.

"Ada said that the horse thieves outside the Great Wall are all poor people, but these poor people can also squeeze out some oil stars." While dividing the broken sheepskin coat into several pieces of leather, Mulan explained that Gao Jin would not ask her so much in the past.

After working together for a while, Gao Jin slowly learned some tricks. Where the horse thief hides things, they are nothing more than doing things in fur coats and shoes. As long as they don’t think they are dirty, they will always gain something when they search carefully.
