The ruined temple where the army paused to rest was quite spacious, and although the number of people who came back this time was not much, it was still thousands, and this ruined temple was able to accommodate all of them.

There was nothing in the ruined temple, and it was very bright after a little tidying up, and there were only a few stone tables, and the soldiers didn't know that they were back, but they had already packed up the stone tables and waited for them, no, as soon as they came back, there were a lot of things piled up on the table - wine, meat, snacks, everything.

When Rong Huazheng and Yuwen Xiyan came in, they saw those soldiers diligently putting these things on the table.

Those things are still not hot, but there is still a little temperature, Rong Huazheng couldn't help but be greedy when he saw the entanglement, and his heart was slightly moved, "Brothers and sisters have worked hard, and they have prepared so many things." ”

"The admiral misunderstood, these things are not from our army." The soldier's honest and swarthy face flushed slightly, "These are all sent by the people nearby after you left, and a lot of things were sent at one time, and these wines were specially given to the generals and generals by the people." ”

"How can you just collect the people's things?" Rong Huazheng frowned, and said disapprovingly: "The people are also difficult, we have collected their things, and they may all be hungry for the New Year." "So many things are not a trivial matter of one or two buns, and it would be bad if they were called corrupt and bribed by the army.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, when Qin Shuying stepped in and took the first step and said, "These things were accepted by the subordinates and the brothers." ”

Rong Huazheng's face was even worse, and he frowned when he heard this: "Vice General Qin, you have been in the army for so long, why did you do such a thing?" "Isn't this knowing the law and breaking the law?

Qin Shuying said with a wry smile: "The general doesn't know, everyone knows that our Northwest Frontier Army is going to return to Beijing, and every time they pass by a populated place, there are people waiting, and when they see us, they can't even stop us, and they still refuse to leave if they don't accept their things, and they say that this is their intention, and it is a ...... to reward the brothers and generals in the army."

"Girl, it's really no wonder brothers." General Qingli glanced at Rong Huazheng and said angrily: "If you want to blame it, you are too popular, old man, I haven't had this treatment from you for decades as a general, and the people are all coming for you!" ”

"Huh?" Dare to love her as the initiator?

"Poof!" The young man on the side smiled, pulled Rong Hua Zheng into his seat, and said while pouring a few glasses of wine: "Sister Zheng, to be honest, I was also scared when I saw this situation when I just came over to join the Northwest Army. ”

“…… Really? Rong Hua muttered, not knowing how to react.

"I still lied to you!" The little kid didn't distinguish between young and old, rolled his eyes and said: "We will set off again in half an hour, there is a relatively prosperous town a few miles away from here, the streets are quite wide, and when you see it for yourself, you will know if I am lying." ”

"Has the situation of people giving food all this time been happening?" Rong Hua Zheng asked General Qingli.

"Ever since we got out of the trail and came to a populated place, it would have appeared."

"This atmosphere is not very good, and I think it will affect the reputation of our Northwest Army." Rong Huazheng said seriously: "Although it is our army of Daying, but there is a gap between the army and the army, if others join us, wouldn't it be ......"

Yuwen Xiyan interrupted Rong Hua Zheng's words, "Okay, okay, Sister Zheng don't have to worry too much, who are you, why worry about such little tricks, winning people's hearts is a good thing, only people who are not good enough will do some small tricks." Besides, we're all hungry, what's unruly, let's put it aside for the time being, eat first, don't you want to have two drinks with the general? ”

"But ......" Rong Huazheng still had concerns in her heart, she was afraid that she would make it difficult for Yu Wencan to do something special.

"Sister Zheng, you really don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it for you when something comes, I can't stand it, don't you still have Brother Can, can Brother Can you still be wronged?" Yuwen Xiyan glanced at Rong Hua Zheng, said very angrily, and invited General Qingli to take a seat, he saw that Rong Hua Zheng still had something to say, and quickly picked up a glass of wine and gave it to Rong Hua Zheng: "Sister Zheng, drink and drink." After that, he asked Qin Shuying to sit down and eat with them, Qin Shuying repeatedly excused himself and said that he had already eaten, and he still had something to do, so he had to leave first.

Yuwen Xiyan and General Qingli didn't know how long they had been hungry, so they ate violently as soon as they sat down, and Rong Huazheng couldn't say anything when he saw them like this, so they ate together.

Halfway through the meal, General Qingli remembered to drink two glasses with Rong Huazheng, raised his glass and said, "Girl, don't mind, the old man hasn't eaten since last night, so he has a big move, and he is about to be hungry." Come, let's drink now. ”

Rong Huazheng also picked up his wine glass, and said angrily: "Old man, why are you so polite, besides, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach, if your stomach is uncomfortable, it's not me and my brothers who suffer?" ”

"You girl, you don't have a good word!" General Qingli said angrily, and after Rong Hua Zheng stretched out his wine glass and touched the wine glass with him, he raised his head and drank the hot/spicy burning knife in one go.

"General, don't blame me first, I haven't said anything to make you feel guilty!" Rong Hua Zheng snorted, took out the letter from the two little children and asked her to hand it over and threw it at General Qingli, "Oh, this is for you." ”

General Qingli glanced at the envelope, on which were written the words 'Grandpa Qingli', which he knew, and he had taught the two children to learn calligraphy by hand, and he could see at a glance who wrote it, his eyes lit up, and he was so happy that he reached out to take the letter while laughing, "Girl, this is what those two little ghosts wrote to me?" ”

Rong Huazheng snorted heavily in his reply, and without even glancing at General Qingli, he gritted his teeth and grinded the beef in his mouth.

The little kid Yuwen Xiyan hadn't seen the two younger siblings for a long time, and when he heard that the letter was written by them, he immediately looked over curiously to look at the words on the envelope, and said in surprise: "This is really good, is it written by my brother or sister?" ”

"You're also so big, and you can write well." Rong Huazheng was blocking in his heart, listening to nothing pleasing to his ears, and he didn't forget to teach a lesson: "Stinky fart, didn't you say it, you are an uncle, they are your nephews." ”

The little kid was sprayed with ash, and the tip of his nose was touched in a gray way, and he caught a glimpse of General Qingli opening the letter, and decided to ignore someone who was weird and yin and yang for the time being, and leaned over to look at the letter.

Rong Huazheng was so angry by the stinky fart kid that he almost wanted to break his ear, gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, drank a few cups of burning knives in succession, and let the fire of the wine cover the fire in his heart.

General Qingli is not a generous person, he has received a lot of letters in the army in his life, and there are almost few private letters. pushed away Yuwen Xiyan's tiger-eyed head, "Go, go, what do you see!" ”

"Grandpa Qingli, let me take a look too!" Yuwen Xiyan did not give up, and his beautiful eyes looked at General Qingli.

General Qingli didn't pity him at all, and snorted: "What is your name grandpa, I am the same generation as your father!" ”

Rong Hua Zheng: "......"

Yuwen Xiyan: "......"

Yuwen Xiyan touched his nose and didn't rush to see it, and looked at Rong Hua Zheng with resentment, "Sister Zheng, I want to meet my younger brothers and sisters, can you take some time to send me back to the palace first?" ”

Rong Hua Zheng grabbed the chopsticks of meat, and coldly lifted his lips: "No!" ”

Yuwen Xiyan actually pulled Rong Hua Zheng like a child, and asked coquettishly: "Why?" ”

"Not for any reason." Rong Hua Zheng pinched his face hard, and he screamed in pain and squinted with a smile.

"Sister Zheng, you abuse me again!"

Rong Hua Zheng was not ashamed at all, and ate seriously after snorting.

In fact, when the little kid said it, her heart moved, and she didn't want the child to suffer from sleeping on the road, but she understood that she wouldn't come back if she went back, so she ......

"Okay, Sister Zheng, I'm actually joking." Yuwen Xiyan smiled and said: "As a little general, how can I leave the army casually, although I am small, but the army consciousness is very heavy." In fact, the most important reason is not this, but that he has just met Rong Huazheng, so he is willing to leave immediately.

"You're not from the Northwest Frontier." Rong Huazheng pierced his excuse, and when he thought of something, he said, "How long will you go back this time?" ”

"A year and a half."

Rong Huazheng squinted his eyes and looked at him fixedly: "It will take at least three years to leave the army for the first time, why did you come back this time?" And it's been a year and a half when I go back!

Normally, it takes only about half a year for a general to return to his hometown, but he actually came for a year and a half all at once, and there must be some people in the army who are not convinced.

Yuwen Xiyan didn't expect Rong Hua Zheng to ask like this, and his eyes were a little evasive, "I'm special!" ”

"What's special about you? As a general, where do you get so many vacations? ”

"I'm still young, and I still have a lot to learn in Kyoto!"

Rong Huazheng did not comment on this answer, she is a person in the army, she naturally knows the rules in the army, and the soldiers are different from others, sometimes she may not be able to go back for ten years, she has not seen the army go back on a large scale in the military camp for three years, and this time I heard that it seems that the four frontiers have received the holy decree to return to Beijing.

Rong Hua Zheng rolled his eyes and thought, "Is there something big to do in Kyoto?" ”

"Got something big to do? What's the big deal? Yuwen Xiyan looked confused, "Sister Zheng, didn't you just come back from the palace, don't you know anything big?" ”

Rong Huazheng frowned, feeling that he was right, maybe he was thinking too much.
