Xue Liren led the Changfeng Battalion Iron Cavalry to walk in front, and Lin Zhong rode in front. Lu Lin, who was originally driving a carriage, was dared by Liu Zhixing, and the young man who was not far away thought a lot. If Xue Liren hadn't appeared in a few days, he wouldn't have been able to talk about his death, but he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it. Not only did Xiuwen not get out of marriage, but trouble arose.

Although Ma San was suppressed now, the two of them couldn't follow him all the time. said: "Yulian Xiuwen don't go out recently, it's best not to go out of Peach Blossom Village for half a step." Although Ma San and Niu Hongda agreed not to make trouble for the time being, it is very likely that he will find trouble in the long run. I've thought about letting Lulin be your guard before I take care of the matter. His kung fu is better than mine, and Ma San and those people have also seen Lu Lin's kung fu and should not act rashly. ”

Yulian said: "It's okay, which general will blame you for leaving him behind." ”

I don't understand why Liu Zhixing, who offended Ma San because of her, saw Liu Zhixing's ruthlessness with his own eyes this time. Only in the face of Yulian has a lot of rare tenderness, but for her, she may really be a friend. I only heard Liu Zhixing say: "He can't control me, Lu Lin is my soldier and listens to me." ”

Approaching Peach Blossom Village, Liu Zhixing called Lu Lin over and gave a few orders, and followed Xue Liren's army away. Before leaving, he looked at Liu Zhixing's back and shouted: "Liu Zhixing, I will definitely pay you back." The boy just smiled faintly and rode away.

Lu Lin drove the carriage into Peach Blossom Village slowly, leaving only two girls and the young Lu Lin. Walking to the door of Xiuwen's house, the two girls got out of the car. The two old men couldn't believe that they were all right, and Brother Xiuwen stepped forward and pulled his sister and said, "Xiuwen, are you okay?" ”

Only her brother was calling her a younger sister in the family, and the young man nodded slightly. He shouted to his father, "What about the money you gave you?" ”

Dad pretended not to understand, and Xiuwen angrily broke into the house. Flipping over walls and cabinets. But he saw his father carrying two bags and said, "Take it and give it back to others." ”

Xiuwen walked out of the gate with the silver and walked to Lu Lin's side and said, "Here, return this to your general." I owe him a hundred taels of silver, and I will pay him back. ”

Lu Lin took the silver and just nodded but did not refuse, took Yulian's hand and said, "Yulian go home, if you don't go home overnight, Uncle Ji will be worried." ”

Seeing Xiuwen nodding politely, he walked towards home without getting into the carriage. I only heard Xiuwen behind him shouting: "I'll look for you tomorrow." Lu Lin pulled the carriage and followed Yulian all the way, and he was very flustered when no one followed.

When he walked to the door, Lu Lin still followed, and Yulian immediately turned around and said, "Your name is Lu Lin, right?" The boy nodded slightly.

Yulian didn't return overnight, and she already felt that it was difficult to explain to her father, and she should be really anxious all night. Now he has brought back a man, and this man is not Liu Zhixing. said: "Lu Lin, go back, I don't understand your rules." But he will be punished for leaving you here without permission. ”

Stopped and finally said: "The general said that the last general will stay and protect Miss Ji." ”

said a lot of words at the door of his house, Lu Lin only had this one sentence, Yulian was very helpless, and could only be followed by Lu Lin. Ji's father sat alone in the courtyard and stayed awake all night, with only a jar of peach blossom wine and a small wine glass on the wooden table. The old man seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and immediately rushed out of the hospital when he heard the sound of talking outside the door.

Seeing his daughter come back intact, he pulled him in front of him and looked left and right. Yulian looked at her father with a nervous look and said calmly: "Daddy, I'm fine, I'm not wronged." It was the daughter who made her father worry, and she will never let her father worry about it again. ”

It seemed that he had passed from middle age to old age overnight, and took his daughter's hand and said, "It's okay, if there is something, Daddy has to break Liu Xiaozi's dog legs." ”

After carefully looking at her daughter, she found that she was leading the carriage at the door. The young man shouted very respectfully: "Uncle Ji." Father Ji looked at the young man's familiar face, and then recognized which guard with a knife was the one who followed Liu Zhixing yesterday.

Yulian explained why Lu Lin followed and explained to her father, and her father nodded silently. Instead of driving away like Yulian, he let in the gate and helped Lu Lin unload the carriage. The boy has always been very well-behaved, and although Ji's father arranged the next room, although there were few words, it could be seen that it was very regular. The most uncomfortable thing for Ji's father is that he has been staying outside Yulian's house, and his daughter follows him almost wherever she goes. However, it is much better than Liu Zhixing, and there is an extra man in the family, and Ji's father is also a lot easier.

In the evening, Yulian, who was sitting on Qianqiu, looked at the sky as usual and didn't know what she was thinking, and Lu Lin, who was guarding the side, took the initiative to say a word for the first time: "Miss Ji, General Liu, is not what you said to Miss Xiuwen, the last general knows that the general was born into a wealthy family, but he is not the kind of person who thinks differently. If you care about your identity and won't help Miss Xiuwen, please believe in the general's heart for Miss Ji. ”

Yulian, who was a little surprised, looked at Lu Lin who was holding the knife, she hadn't known her for a long time, but she knew that this young man had very few words. It seems that she has been thinking about it for a long time to be able to say such things, Yulian pulled the hemp rope and looked at Lu Lin with a calm face and said: "Lu Lin I know that he likes me, and I don't know if I like him or not." But some things are not as simple as you think, he once told you that I have a fiancé. ”

There was some surprise how the general would like someone else's fiancée, his face changed slightly, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only choose not to speak. The duty of staying is to protect the two girls, not to be a matchmaker for the general. In the army, you can say a few more words, but you don't know what to say in the face of a woman.

It's just that Yulian is still a little afraid when she remembers what happened in the morning, especially which teenager killed someone on the street. She didn't see it with her own eyes, and the bloodstains she saw after the war horse blocked it out of sight made her feel sick when she thought about it now. I looked at it on the spot and felt nothing, but now I am afraid.

Following Xue Liren back to the army, the other fifteen soldiers returned to the camp for a three-day holiday and rested for two days. Liu Zhixing and Lin Zhong were directly locked up by Xue Liren, and the two teenagers were a little surprised. Saying that he is not guilty, Lin Zhong has already gotten used to it. Liu Zhixing was very unconvinced, Lin Shuai's words didn't count.

In the small room, Liu Zhixing said: "Did you say that Xue Liren shook things out?" ”

Lin Zhongzhi didn't care about lying on the straw mat, closed his eyes and said calmly: "It's strange not to say it, my brother should be locked up for the first time since he came to the Changfeng Army, so it's good to get used to it." Someone will bring food in a while, and we won't be hungry for our brother. ”

Looking at Lin Zhong, who didn't care about it, he felt that it was nothing, and when he saw Lin Zhong's appearance, he should often be shut down by Lin Shuai. As Lin Zhong said, as soon as it got dark, a soldier walked in with food. Seeing Lin Zhong take it out very skillfully, the soldier said, "General Lin, you are here again." ”

Eating steamed buns in a big gulp, he said: "Lao Li is a regular customer, remember to bring some meat next time." Lao Li, who was not young, said with a smile: "Remember, remember." He picked up the food box and walked out.

Liu Zhixing saw that Lin Zhong had already eaten a lot of the originally small meals, and if he started slowly, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to eat a few steamed buns. Just after eating, he lay comfortably on the straw mat, looking at the dark room and was speechless. After a while, Lin Zhong's deep snoring could be heard, but Liu Zhixing had only one girl in his mind.

Before falling asleep, the door was kicked open, and Liu Zhixing turned over and looked at the old man's face in the moonlight. Standing up and saluting respectfully to the old man, he said, "Lin Shuai." The old man bowed his hand and said, "It's good that there are no idlers here to call the master." ”

Liu Zhixing called out to his uncle, but Lin Zhong was still snoring like thunder. Liu Zhixing pushed several times but did not react, kicked Lin Zhong's buttocks, and Lin Zhong shouted with a temper: "Liu Zhixing is not allowed to sleep, is it not a beating." The veteran coughed heavily.

Lin Zhong, who was still sleepy, glanced back at the veteran who was standing beside him, and immediately got up and shouted, "Uncle, you are here, and you don't say a word in advance." ”

Lin Xie personally moved a stool and sat down and said, "The documents of the imperial court have come down, and the two of you have made a lot of meritorious contributions this time." Especially Zhixing, he was personally named by His Majesty, and there is a great merit in the credit book. ”

Lin Zhong saw that his family was familiar and asked, "What did Your Majesty the eldest uncle reward me for?" ”

Liu Zhixing, who was on the side, had already been waiting for this day to come, and military merit was an honor that any soldier could be proud of. Lin Xie said calmly: "You have been promoted, the tokens of the Ministry of War have been issued, and the promotion to the rank of Captain of the Fifth Rank can order 10,000 people, and Chen Geng will explain it later." The rest of the kamikaze camp who were alive were promoted to the next level, and the rewards for dying in battle were also very rich. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, this time he was promoted to two levels, the previous official position was only the sixth grade, and now he is a fifth-grade officer, and he is almost better than the previous county guard.

"Zhong'er has nothing to be proud of, remember that in the army, it is the most taboo to be proud of his achievements. Every merit is exchanged for the soldier's life, and he does it and cherishes it. Lin Zhong said solemnly: "I know." ”

Liu Zhixing looked at Lin Xie, he often went to the Lin Mansion when he was young, and he had the essence of a veteran with his swordsmanship. Since joining the army, he has been learning from his side, from martial arts to the art of war. In the army, he has the title of a proud disciple of the old handsome. Lin Xie said: "Fortunately, the Ministry of Soldiers put you in charge of a battalion, and His Majesty personally gave the name of the thirteenth battalion. The other twelve are also under your jurisdiction, and they can ride three thousand lightly. As for the other rewards, after returning to Beijing, Your Majesty will give you another reward. ”

Some didn't understand what the old general's return to Beijing meant, and was about to ask Lin Xie and continued: "Your father tried his best to return to Beijing this time, and it is time to go back and see it after more than a year." Chen Geng will give you instructions before the year, and lead the army in the army after the New Year. ”

After saying that, these old generals walked out of the room with a happy look, and the two teenagers were also the most favored children. As for the children in the family, none of them entered the Changfeng army, first, the only son was weak and could not bear the hard work in the army, so he could only serve as an official in Beijing, and the emperor did not allow the border army to become a private army. The head of the Lin family in Shuzhong only has his second room to inherit, which is nothing. The veteran is still worried about Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, and once he forms a party and participates in the party struggle, there is no turning back.

The two teenagers were still happy to receive the reward, especially Lin Zhong didn't expect to be in charge of 10,000 people. Now he is the highest official among the younger generation of the Lin family, but unfortunately he can't go home. Otherwise, I have to show off in front of my father, and say that I, Lin Zhong, will just spend money to get into trouble.

Outside the door, Chen Geng said with a reluctant look: "Lin Shuai, you didn't say anything about being sent back to the capital by His Majesty. ”

Walking on the dark road with his hands behind his back, his face was withered. These few days can be described as haggard, and I haven't had a day off for months. Every day he was consolidating the defense of the Southern Mirror, and from the day he came back alive, he knew that he had not been in the Changfeng Army for a long time. The tens of thousands of soldiers who died in Nanchu had to give an explanation, and it seemed that a big victory was not the biggest defeat of the Changfeng Army in more than ten years. I don't know what happened in Taiping City, but it's certain that I will never return to the Changfeng Army.

The two veterans walked up to the city and looked at Nanchu, who had been fighting for decades, Lin Xie said: "Chen Geng is the oldest in the Changfeng Army, and I will guard the south mirror for Daliang after I leave." The change of imperial power has been full of blood since ancient times, and it doesn't matter who ascends to the throne as a border army, the duty of the Changfeng Army is not only to protect the country for the imperial power. Behind us are tens of thousands of people of Daliang, and the soldiers are guarding their peace with their lives. ”

Chen Geng said: "I know that the Changfeng Army has never changed in the past 30 years. Chen Geng will keep in mind the spirit of Changfeng and defend the country. It's just that the imperial court was unfair to Lin Shuai, and he knew that Nanchu couldn't fight and still sent troops. This is obviously someone in the imperial court who is targeting Lin Shuai, and the group of literati in Kyoto should know what kind of beam it is without the Changfeng Army. ”

"Chen Geng, don't talk nonsense, remember that the Changfeng Army is the army of the Great Liang. As long as there is still one person in the Changfeng Army, Nan Chu will not be allowed to step into the beam. ”

Chen Geng shouted heavily: "Lin Shuai." ”

With a sad voice, he said: "After Wu Peng comes, he must experience assistance, don't be against it." After many years in the army, it should be that the generals will have discord, what will be the consequences, and if you can bear it, don't be rash. Especially let Zhong'er He Zhixing stay away from Fenyang, even if it is dangerous, don't get involved in disputes. ”

The two looked at Nan Chu in the distance, knowing that Da Liang was about to change the sky. Nan Chu will not let go of this excellent opportunity, and the responsibility of the Changfeng Army is even heavier.
