Chapter 22: To Each His Own Mind 2

Maybe it's because I haven't seen my hometown for a long time, Zuo Hui and Zuo Rong, and they are very affectionate when they see Wang Xingke. Or maybe it's because he brought his favorite prawns and apples.

I heard that Wang Xingke wanted to purchase some materials at the border gate, so he stayed in the barracks.

"Liu Gongzi, the kite you made is really good. I also tried to make one, but I couldn't fly. Have time, make one for me too? Wang Xingke smiled, looking as amiable as Maitreya Buddha.

"That's not going to work, you ask the vanilla in the house. I bought us candy several times before I made one. Zuo Hui said.

"It's hard to say that the sugar man is not good, when I go home, I will buy you a big bag for each of you. So, okay? Wang Xingke still said with a smile.

Blinked, thought for a moment. Zuo Hui said: "The sugar man is no good, let's wait for our brothers to discuss what we want." ”

Zuo Rong and Zuo Chen heard this and laughed.

Wang Xingke thought to himself, this is a bargain, and when he grows up, he will have it. was not annoyed, and said: "Okay, it's rare for you little sons to unite as one, just wait for you to think about it and then tell me." Kite, I'm going to make one anyway. ”

"Can you wait until next summer?" Zuo Chen asked.

With his eyes wide open, Wang Xingke said anxiously: "Then, isn't it too late?" ”

"I won't give it to you so late, I see you're still in a hurry. You're an adult, so why are you more anxious than us. Zuo Hui said disdainfully.

Wang Xingke was not embarrassed, and smiled happily.

According to the recent practice, Zuo Chen was called into the military tent again. General Liu thought that since Zuo Chen already knew some things, he didn't care about a few more things. Getting in touch with and thinking about something as early as possible should be a good thing for his life experience. Moreover, I often see him sweating like rain practicing, and my heart is really uncomfortable.

Sitting in the military tent and thinking about the recent development of the relationship with Wang Xingke, it is as ambiguous as a prostitute or a prostitute. General Liu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"General Liu, what is it that makes you so happy when you think of something? I don't tell the contemptible people to hear it, and the contemptible people are so happy and happy. Wang Xingke said, with an expectant expression on his face.

"How can you not be happy to cooperate with Wang Da Shangjia? You say yes, right? Liu Shangwu said with a smile.

"That's, that's supposed to be happy. The contemptible people are all thanks to General Liu, and I am also happy when I reward the contemptible people with this bowl of rice. I still want to thank General Liu! Wang Xingke looked sincere, and bowed in a proper manner after speaking.

"You see, why are you still so reserved. Now that it's cooked, you don't have to be too restrained, and you don't have to keep saluting. Liu Shangwu said in his mouth, waved his hand and said, "When will you return to Haiyang?" ”

"I plan to return to Hai Duong before winter, after all, the road is far away, and it will be difficult to walk on the road when it is cold and freezing, and my body will also suffer." Wang Xingke replied.

"That's true. When I returned to Hai Duong, I took my children and nephews with me. Like you said, children can't stand it when it's cold, so go back as soon as possible! After a slight pause, he said, "When you leave, I will send two teams of cavalry to escort you, do you think it is good?" ”

"Thank you, General Liu, I can't thank you enough!" Wang Xingke said respectfully.

I suddenly remembered that the bodyguards hired when I came were still outside the barracks. Wang Xingke asked cautiously: "General, are those bodyguards letting them go back or?" ・・・・・・”

"Just let them go back early, you deal with them a lot, you should be easy to explain, right?" Liu Shangwu said.

"It's easy to explain, it's naturally good to explain. In this way, you can save a lot of silver. Wang Xingke and Liu Shangwu glanced at each other, and laughed happily at the same time.

Zuo Chen also smiled, he understood what his father wanted to arrange, and he understood that his father was preparing for entering Kyoto. All three of them were laughing, different smiles, different thoughts.

While talking and laughing, Chen Dong walked in from outside the tent. Wang Xingke saw that the general had a military treatment, so he bowed and withdrew from the military tent.

"General Yu, according to your request, all the eight hundred divine crossbowmen have been trained. The barracks and supplies were arranged and completely detached from the current establishment. Chen Dongyu reported.

"Good! Recently, they were arranged to participate in the actual combat of the formation. A good hunter has a good weapon, but also to show off his power. After speaking, Liu Shangwu laughed, and then said: "It's just right, this season the barbarians are ready to harass the people and rob the grain. Just take these wolf cubs and cut them, no, take these wolf cubs and give me a sacrificial crossbow! ”

"General, the last general also got a secret report that at the end of the month, the barbarians will divide into several teams as in previous years to come to our border to grab food." Chen Dong said.

"Do you have any plans or arrangements?" Liu Shangwu asked.

"As usual, soldiers are arranged in dense villages. This year, the general plans to have some soldiers blend in with the people, so that if the people are in danger, this will be more secure. Look at ・・・・・・," Chen Dong said humbly.

"The border is too long, and we have been guarding the rabbit for many years. In this way, it is worry-free and effort-saving. However, it didn't work out well. After Liu Shangwu finished speaking, he lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, he raised his head and said: "Barbarians have always relied on excellent horse riding skills, and they come and go quickly. This year we need to change our strategy and take the initiative! ”

"General, if you take the initiative to attack, you have to go deep into the place. In this way, will the soldiers be in danger? Chen Dong asked.

"I also knew there would be danger. I think the biggest danger is that the blood of the soldiers is lost in peacetime. Without the bloody nature that will be punished for committing crimes, and without the spirit of courage and dedication, once the war starts, the consequences will be unimaginable. Liu Shangwu took a deep breath and said: "Every time the barbarians come to harass with a small fight, isn't it to gradually cultivate the morale of being suppressed by our army? ”

"The general is wise, and the general understands." Chen Dong said respectfully.

"You don't have to compliment me all the time, I'm not a god. It is true that some things cannot be solved by holding on, and we must think more about the future of the entire barracks and all the sergeants. Liu Shangwu said.

"Yes, ・・・・・・" Chen Dong agreed, and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say it after all.

"Tell me, I go to Kyoto every year to resume my life, who will leak the time and route?" Liu Shangwu asked.

"Haven't you always been suspicious of Kyoto ・・・・・・ this ・・・・・・" Chen Dong stammered, thinking to himself, the general had never taken the initiative to mention this, what happened today?

"The people who want to kill me are the people of Kyoto, can they calculate when I will go and where to go?" Liu Shangwu said.

"In the past, the last general also thought that there would be spies in the barracks, and he also secretly checked in the barracks. Unfortunately, nothing. Chen Dong said.

"There must be ghosts in my family, and I didn't check it before, and I didn't want the barracks to be turbulent. This time is different, the new crossbow we currently have will make anyone daunted, you should understand the reason for the sin of conceiving, right? Liu Shangwu stared at Chen Dong's eyes and said.

Zuo Chen thought to himself, didn't his father suspect General Chen? But it's not like that. Obviously, such an important thing was arranged for Chen Dong to do.

"General, do you need to strengthen the dark post outside the Divine Crossbow Camp?" Chen Dong asked.

"That's not necessary, people will eventually relax when they are tired, just pay attention to the people around you." Liu Shangwu said, without the slightest fluctuation on his face.

"You mean ・・・・・・" Chen Dong snorted, but couldn't say anything more.

"I didn't say it! So, tomorrow you say that I will go to Kyoto for another 10 days. Then, I'll do the rest. Liu Shangwu finished speaking. He laughed.

・・・・・・

Looking at Chen Dong, who had stepped out of the military tent, he turned to look at Zuo Chen beside him, and asked, "Is it more tiring than practicing?" ”
