When Wei Yan received the news from He Shangshu and knew that Wei Lai had already handed over the resignation recital, it was already the next day, that is, August 16. After scolding Wei Lai's stubbornness in his heart, he had to think about how to keep people - although he had already made use of the marriage to keep Wei Lai, but there was no suitable candidate for a while.

While Wei Yan was pacing in the room and getting irritable, Wei Lai was already standing on the high platform in front of the school as usual. With a wave of the command flag in his hand, the thousands of troops below began today's drill.

This busyness lasted until noon, when Wei Lai announced a lunch break, and everyone dispersed. As usual, Wei Lai called his generals to gather again - in her mind, the resignation was a foregone conclusion, and these people had followed her for many years of birth and death, and they should always say something if they wanted to leave, so she ordered the Huotou Army to open a small stove in advance.

In fact, such gatherings are not uncommon in the army, and even when there was a war in northern Xinjiang at any time, the army could still hear small gatherings of generals and subordinates of a certain battalion from time to time. This is a means for the superior generals to get along with the subordinate generals, they need their subordinates to work hard in wartime, and they need to rely on the military power in their hands to fight for power and profit after the war.

Of course, such gatherings were not common among the black-armored cavalry. In addition to the long-standing strict atmosphere of this elite army, Wei Lai himself did not like such gatherings. She is a person who can sacrifice her life to save her comrades on the battlefield, but she doesn't like this kind of hypocritical politeness in private, and it is her attitude and actions that have convinced her of the entire black-armored cavalry.

So, the first small gathering of the black-armored cavalry generals after returning to Beijing naturally seemed a little different. On the way to the canteen together, more than one person stepped forward to ask Wei Lai, but every time she was dismissed with a sentence of "I'll talk about it later".

From the school field to the canteen for military training, it is actually not very far. This line is full of soldiers, and the foot is fast, and it didn't take long for him to fall. After receiving the order, the Huotou Army prepared the meal early, and after Wei Lai and his party arrived, they sat down directly.

Most of the people in the Dingbei army were straightforward, especially the black-armored cavalry. As soon as everyone here sat down, before they had time to touch the chopsticks, someone asked aloud: "General, there is a small gathering today, but there is something to order?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the eyes of the people at the table were focused on Wei Lai. Seeing this, Wei Lai groaned slightly, but he didn't bother to beat around the bush, so he simply said: "There is nothing to tell you to come here for a small gathering today, but I do have something to say." After a slight pause, he said bluntly, "I'm going to resign." ”

Resigned? Resign! This sudden remark is like a thunderbolt from the sky, and people can't react. The whole table was silent for a moment, and no one could react to what their general had just said that made people panic.

Wei looked at the stunned appearance of the people at the table, pursed his lips slightly, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. But what if you don't give up? Her identity doomed her to be unable to stay, and their meeting was an accident.

After a while, someone finally came to their senses. The five big and three rough men were full of grievances when they opened their mouths: "General, are you leaving?!" We have been born and died together for so many years, how can you leave us? How can it?! After speaking, he blinked his eyes and looked at Wei Lai with an accusatory gaze.

"......, who will sue me, when did such "resentful women" appear in our army?!

Wei Lai was choked with nausea, and the sadness of parting in his heart was sharply reduced. Without a trace, she moved the stool back for two minutes, and then spoke: "I have already handed over the resignation note yesterday, and there should be news in a few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the few people next to them who were trying to speak to persuade were also dumbfounded--the resignation of the official was gone, what else could they say--the atmosphere on the table was also instantly depressed.

A meal that is eaten without knowing the taste. At the end, Wei Lai couldn't help but explain: "The battle is over." As you all know, I am not the kind of person who is suitable for officialdom, and staying in the capital will only increase the trouble in the future, so why bother? Now that you are disarmed and returned to the field, you can also be at ease, and if you miss me that day, go to my hometown to see me. ”

Wei is also telling the truth, she is easy-going and upright, and she is not the person who is good at dancing with long sleeves. The complexity of the officialdom in the capital is not suitable for her, even if she is protected by Marshal Wei now, it is difficult to say in the future.

At this point, everyone finally reluctantly accepted this reality. However, almost all people still have two expectations in their hearts: although the general's resignation has been sent, what if the above does not approve it......

******************************************************************

The hopes of the black-armored cavalry have finally come true.

As the days passed, it was the end of August, and even the weather was gradually getting cooler, and there was no longer a trace of heat and dryness. Wei Lai waited for more than ten days, but the resignation was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

In the past few days of drills, the generals under Wei Lai have changed their previous malaise, and almost all of them are happy. But Wei Lai couldn't help but gradually become anxious in the past two days--Is it true that the marshal said that now is not the time to resign? Then how can she disarm and return to the field? I've finally finished the war, so I won't be able to go home for the New Year this year, right?!

Just when Wei Lai was full of worries, Marshal Wei summoned her alone again, and this time it was not in the barracks, but directly called people to his house.

Coincidentally, Wei Lai hesitated for a few days, and was about to ask Marshal Wei for advice on resignation, so although it was a little strange to be called directly to the Marshal's Mansion, Wei Lai still obediently hurried to the Marshal's Mansion.

It was only in front of the marshal's mansion that Wei Lai hesitated a little - she only received the news after training the black-armored cavalry, and it was just over half of the time when she arrived, and it was just a meal. She came here at this time, will it look like a rubbing rice?

Just when Wei Lai hesitated, a young general came out of the marshal's mansion, and then saw her at a glance, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "General Wei is here, why don't you go in, what are you doing standing here?" ”

This person Wei Lai knew, he was An Jun, the captain of Zhaowu in the Dingbei Army, and he was also the nephew of Marshal Wei, so it was not surprising that he appeared in the Marshal's Mansion. It's just that Wei Lai was a little surprised to see him so enthusiastic, but he quietly put on a smile at the moment and replied: "The marshal called me over, but it's time to have dinner in the house at this time, I'm a little out of time." ”

An Jun was really enthusiastic today, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and pulled Wei Lai to the house: "How can there be so much attention?" General Wei is too polite, and my uncle is waiting for you. ”

Wei Lai didn't refuse, and followed An Jun as well, but the doubts in his heart were even worse. An Jun relied on the relationship of Marshal Wei, although he was not overbearing in the army, but he was also cold and arrogant, although they had worked together for many years, they had no friendship, and they were nodding friends when they saw each other on weekdays, how could the other party ever be so enthusiastic?

I kept muttering in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. Wei Lai followed An Jun into the Marshal's Mansion, she didn't know the way when she came for the first time, so she naturally followed An Jun, but he took him directly to the dining room.

The table full of dishes, as well as the family sitting next to the table, all clearly told Wei Lai, Marshal Wei's house really hasn't opened yet! In this case, what does An Jun mean by bringing himself over? Is it really when she stepped on a little bit to come over to eat?!

Wei Lai was full of awkwardness, and even complained a little about An Jun. Marshal Wei didn't feel surprised when he saw her, and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Wei is here, haven't you eaten yet?" Come on, sit down and eat together. ”

Marshal Wei's voice fell, and before Wei Lai could say anything, An Jun pulled her to sit down at the dinner table, and her movements were neat as if she had been premeditated. It's nothing, but the arrangement of the seats is a little delicate-Wei Lai is sitting on the right side is An Jun, and on the left is a young and beautiful girl .......
