17. General, wait for me! (b)
In the memory of the original owner, she had never walked out of Orion Village, and Qin An's current location was not mentioned in the plot, so Su Nuan could only inquire about the current army stationing along the way.
When a woman goes out, she will always cause some idle trouble, so Su Nuan got some black ash from the kitchen and smeared it on her face before leaving the house, and now the whole person looks like an ordinary woman who is not good-looking.
Walking out of Orion Village, Su Nuan came to the small county town outside the village, and when he was resting in the small tea stall on the side of the road, he was lucky to learn about the current battle situation from the chatter of a few people at the adjacent table:
Now the three princes have raised troops in the southwest, and several cities have been captured a few months ago, but the mighty general who resigned was recalled by the emperor and ordered to fight against the rebels. After the arrival of the mighty general, the soldiers of the army swept away the sluggishness of the previous successive defeats, and their morale increased greatly, and they won the first victory in the battle against the rebels the next day. In the middle of the war, three cities have been recaptured from the hands of the three princes in this half year, and the army is stationed in Qingcheng at this time to prepare for the next battle.
Su Nuan finished the cooled tea in the bowl in one gulp, wiped the water stains on his mouth with his sleeve casually, and it seemed that he would move towards Qingcheng next.
Originally, I didn't know when I would be able to reach Qingcheng by foot, but as soon as Su Nuan was lucky enough to get out of the county gate, he met a small caravan running in the direction of Qingcheng, the caravan owner was an enthusiastic person, and when he heard that she was going to find his husband who joined the army, he readily agreed to give her a ride, and she did some chores for the people of this caravan as a repayment.
After half a month of day and night, he finally came to the town on the edge of Qingcheng, Su Nuan said goodbye to the caravan boss and went to the gate of Qingcheng City.
There was a long queue at the gates of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were carefully interrogating every civilian who entered the city to prevent the rebels from sending out the soldiers to get in.
Su Nuan lined up in the line, and in the long wait, the line was slowly decreasing.
"Where are you from, what are you doing in Qingcheng, tell me honestly!" The soldier asked.
"The little woman came from Orion Village, Anxian County, and came to Qingcheng to look for her husband who joined the army." Su Nuan replied honestly.
"Oh? Your husband is also from the army, what's his name? The soldier wondered.
"The husband's surname is Qin, and the word is An." Su Nuan replied.
"Qin An? This brother hasn't heard of it, you know? The soldier turned to his companion beside him.
"I don't know, maybe it's from another battalion!"
It is understandable that they don't know that Qin An is a mighty general, basically except for the generals around Qin An, they only know General Qin's name, and these low-level soldiers know at most the title of mighty general, which makes them admire, even if they know, I am afraid they will not associate a rural village woman in front of them with the general.
“…… Ahem, little lady, will you go down to the kitchen? The soldier asked suddenly, softly.
"Huh? Yes. Su Nuan didn't react to this sudden change in painting style for a while.
"Then would you like to enter the barracks as a cook? Maybe I'll see your husband again. ”
“…… Good. ”
Su Nuan came to the army camp so effortlessly, and when she saw a few rough men of one meter eight in the kitchen making a large pot of unknown dishes, Su Nuan suddenly became enlightened.
Qingcheng originally fell into the hands of the rebels, and the people in the city could run long ago, leaving only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who could not resist and could not pick their hands. Originally, there were a few cook soldiers in the army, but during a rebel attack, they were all killed by random arrows. In the days after the death of the cook, these soldiers all launched a fierce attack on the battlefield, directly attacking the rebels, which was also a "bloody case" caused by a cook.
Su Nuan is now taking care of kitchen affairs with several middle-aged women who have been recruited in the next few days. In the past few days in the barracks, she also learned Qin An's whereabouts, he is not in the barracks now, he is leading a team of soldiers and horses to meet the old Zhongyihou who came from the capital on the emperor's order, Lao Zhongyihou this time with the 50,000 reinforcements allocated from above to meet Qin An's 100,000 troops, ready to take the rebels in one fell swoop.
All Su Nuan had to do at the moment was to wait.
Half a month later-
"The general is back!" An excited voice shouted.
Su Nuan followed a few curious middle-aged women beside her out of the tent, and looked at the teams of people who came from afar at the door of the tent.
It was getting late now, and a group of soldiers with torches greeted them in front of the camp, and the figures in the distance were too real to see.
A quarter of an hour later, the team finally entered the barracks, and a man with an extraordinary spirit and a tall posture stood out in the ranks, and appeared in everyone's sight on a horse with an awe-inspiring and righteous spirit. Su Nuan looked at his familiar resolute face, and couldn't help but move in his heart, muttering silently: I finally found you, Qin An.
Qin An was chatting with the Zhongyi Hou beside him, introducing the situation in the military camp.
"Xianggong!" A female voice full of excitement came into Qin An's ears, and Qin An and Zhongyi Hou stopped talking and followed the voice.
The woman was eager to step forward, but was stopped by several soldiers, her face was a little blurred, and only a pair of familiar eyes entered Qin An's eyes, Qin An turned his head and said hello to Zhongyi, then dismounted and walked towards the woman.
"Let her go." Qin An waved his hand at the soldier who stopped the woman.
"Xianggong!" Qin An was stunned, and accepted the woman's embrace a little stiffly, and the woman's excited tears washed away the black ash on her face, revealing the girl's fair face.
Qin An looked at the woman in front of him who was holding his waist and crying like a child, and couldn't help but think of the back of the woman who was crying alone on the cliff when he saw her for the first time, and thought that she walked out of Orion Village alone, and came to him thousands of miles away, looking at the tear-stained cheeks of the little woman in his arms, Qin An couldn't help but feel pity, his resolute face was slightly soft, his hand gently touched her back, and comforted softly: "Well, I'm here, it's okay." ”
The group of people behind Qin An had already dismounted behind him, looking at the scene in front of him in amazement, you look at me, I look at you, his eyes were full of disbelief, when had he ever seen such a soft-spoken general.
Zhongyi waited by the side for a while, looked at the tender side of this general who was always unpretentious at the moment, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "General Qin, who is this?" ”
"This is the wife of the last general." Qin An replied to Zhongyi, who came to him at some point.
"Oh? I didn't know that General Qin had already married a wife. ”
"Uchiko was married after the resignation of the last general." Qin An said.
"Hehe, the old man just asked casually! For the sake of today, it is getting late, and the journey is tiring, so it is better to talk about the deployment tomorrow! Zhongyihou smiled and approached Qin An and teased in a low voice, "General Qin also wants to get together with his wife!" ”
Su Nuan originally found that she was so ashamed to hide in Qin An's arms when she hugged Qin An and cried like that in front of so many people, but now that she was ridiculed like this, she couldn't wait to get into the ground.
“…… Be! Qin An looked down at his little wife who was so ashamed that she only showed a pair of red ears in her arms, she only felt funny in her heart, and she still answered with a serious face.
……
