"Then Li Sima, as well as Uncle Chen and Li Lvshuai, when will we start training?"

"Hey, you kid asked, aren't we all waiting for you now, as long as you kid can, let's not say it's tomorrow, it's okay to start this afternoon, it depends on your injuries." Uncle Chen scolded with a smile.

"Oh, it's just that I still want to take a leave of absence and go back to my hometown, my parents and two younger sisters haven't seen each other for four years, and I want to take them over with me."

Li Shouyi immediately continued: "The last time I came back from the post house, I thought that you would definitely take leave and return to your hometown, but I didn't expect that you wanted to take all your family over, and the house for your family has been bought?" ”

Liu Fan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of Li Sima's jokes, my brothers have only saved more than 300 yuan so far, mainly because of the reward I gave when I was promoted to the deputy brigade last time, this money can't even buy a thatched house in Liangzhou City, haven't you been waiting for the imperial court's reward this time?" ”

"So that's the case, you want to buy a house and then go to visit relatives, but the money to buy a house hasn't arrived yet, so you haven't set a date for taking a leave of absence to visit relatives, right?"

Liu Fan nodded with a puzzled face.

"Then let's do it, wait for two days your injuries are almost healed, your two brothers will immediately set off to visit relatives in Jincheng Mansion, I will solve the matter of the house, I will pay you the money first, with the vision of me and Uncle Chen, Min'er and Han'er, you can rest assured that you can visit your relatives, and you can come back and move in directly."

Liu Fan didn't expect such a good thing, and immediately got up and saluted Li Shouyi, "Then thank General Li first, but don't buy too big in the house, I'm afraid that after I come back, with the rewards of our two brothers, it will be far from enough money and food for General Li to pay in advance, so I can only sell myself as a slave to pay off the debt owed to you." ”

"Haha, I was originally playing this wishful thinking, I didn't expect you to be cunning, and I saw it at once, since it was exposed, then I will let you go this time, and set a suitable yard for you, so that you will come back to make it difficult when the time comes."

Liu Fan continued: "At breakfast today, Doctor Ye told me that although the wound on the back looks dangerous, it is actually just a flesh wound, as long as it is controlled and does not swell and suppurate, it will be basically fine after three or four days, and I am going to return to my hometown on the 23rd or 24th, and Uncle Su also wants to go back together, and then I will ask Li Sima to arrange a personal general to take care of the soldiers of the Yin Battalion temporarily." ”

"What's the problem, you just go, the camp of the newly formed Geng Brigade has been assigned, just let your Yin battalion soldiers go over, and in the next three or two days, all the recruits will be added to the Geng Brigade, but how to assign the specific captain, lieutenant and a group of sentry commanders will depend on you to decide on your own after you come back."

This is Li Min interjected: "You probably won't be able to leave on the 23rd, didn't Han'er tell you?" ”

After listening to Li Min's words, Ling Han, who had been sitting quietly next to him since he entered the door, raised his head and said expectantly: "Brother Liu, my mother said that on the 23rd, a little thin banquet will be prepared at home, and Uncle Li, Uncle Song, Brother Li, Sister Min and Brother Liu will come over. ”

"Such a good thing, where you can come to the door in person, let the little girl come over and say no, it's too much, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I want to eat less big pot rice in the kitchen of the government, save some stomach and wait for the 23rd to have a good meal."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused everyone to laugh.

On the morning of the 23rd, Liu Fan asked Dong Zi and Hai Xiancun to go to the street to buy some silk cloth, candy, tea and wine and other items to return to their hometowns, and asked Ma Qiang to go to the camp outside the city to inform Uncle Su to take a group of Yin Battalion soldiers to the garrison of the Geng Brigade, and he also went out of the house with the three of them to Guo Mansion for a banquet.

After Dr. Ye's careful treatment in the past two days, the injury on Liu Fan's back has been much better, although it will take some time to completely heal, but it has not affected his usual life, which is already very good.

According to Li Min, the Li Mansion and the Guo Mansion are both located in the east of the Mansion only one street away from the Liangzhou Mansion, which were respectively the residences of the Hexi Jiedu envoy and the Jiedu judge in the former Tang Dynasty, but they have been repaired many times.

Go out from the main gate and turn east through the southeast corner of the mansion to the east street of the house, at a glance, the whole street is lined up with tall families, the Guo Mansion is in the middle of the street to the south, and the Guo Mansion is the most majestic and magnificent Li Da Governor's Mansion in the whole street.

Liu Fan calculated, it would take about ten minutes at most to walk from going out to the gate of Guo's mansion, and if you went out from the east gate of the mansion, the distance would be closer, no wonder the fire broke out that night After Liu Fan went out, the Li and Guo families basically arrived, and they originally lived near the mansion.

Although the hour is estimated to be around the hour, there is already a lot of traffic in front of Guo's mansion, and there are literati who look like scholars, but more of them are middle and senior generals in the army at a glance, Liu Fan just approached, and a person at the door said in a rough voice: "Brother Xiao Liu, you live so close, why did you come at this time, I went in to take a look and didn't see you, and I was thinking about going into the mansion to see what you were rubbing." ”

When Liu Fan heard it, it was Wang Kai's house again, and this person had been messing with Liu Fan in the small courtyard of the government for a day yesterday. Since the battle of defending the city of Ganzhou, when it comes to dealing with Liu Fan the most, it is none other than this Wang Kai brother, who often says that the four iron brothers in life: "We have been through the window together, we have carried guns together, we have prostituted together, and we have shared the spoils together." It's no wonder that he and Wang Kai are at least "two iron" brothers now.

Liu Fan quickened his pace and responded: "Didn't you say that it was a banquet at noon, and now there is more than an hour to leave the banquet!" ”

"You kid isn't even active in eating, what else can you do!"

When Liu Fan got closer, he saw that there were not only Wang Kai standing next to the several stewards who greeted the guests at the door, but also General Feng Xian, the two looked at Liu Fan with a smile and a smile, and when Liu Fan saw the salute, he only heard General Feng Xian say: "General Liu is promoted to the throne, I don't know when I can eat your promotion banquet?" ”

"I dare to show off my position in front of the general!"

Liu Fan yesterday learned from Wang Kai's mouth about the personnel changes in the Northwest Battalion, because of the secretary of the military department, Li Zongxiong was promoted to the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and he will leave Liangzhou to go to the capital after Daqing in early October; Guo Huaide served as the head of the northwest camp; General Qi Boyuan was promoted to deputy commander of the Northwest Battalion; General Feng Xian was promoted to deputy head of the Yanshan camp; General Liao Yongxian was promoted to deputy commander of the Hedong Battalion; General Li Shouyi was promoted to deputy commander of the Northwest Battalion and Sima of the Shence Army; General Zhang Zhen was promoted to Sima of the Shenwu Army; Li Shouxin, the former commander of the Shenhu Army, was promoted to the position of Sima of the Shenhu Army; Captain Sima of the Shenxiang Army was promoted to Sima of the Shenxiang Army; Ganzhou Army Sima Wei Wenyuan was transferred to Shenwei Army Sima; And Wang Kai was transferred to the Shenhu Army as Sima Duwei, and even Li Min was promoted to Sima Du Lieutenant of the Shenwu Army.

The imperial court can be said to be very generous for the promotion of this northwest camp.

In addition, after two days of investigation, the arson case of the Xingying Heavy Camp did not find any valuable clues, and all the documents and account books were destroyed, which is a fact, and the case has no clue so far, Song Changshi has submitted a resignation document to the Xingying, and the Xingying has also recommended Qi Boyuan to the imperial court to concurrently serve as the head of the Northwest Battalion.

I only heard Wang Kai next to him say: "General, let's go in, it's a bit inappropriate to stand here and congratulate each other." ”

Hearing Wang Kai speak, Liu Fan wondered in his heart: "When did this product become so eye-catching." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go in, it's a little too conspicuous to stand here."

Accompanied by the steward of the palace, the three of them had just walked to the passage connecting the front yard and the main courtyard, which was mainly occupied by servants and guards, and saw two servants standing next to the moon gate that entered the main courtyard to greet the guests, and there was a little maid standing next to the servants. After that, he whispered: "Brother Liu, my young lady asks you to move to the north courtyard and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

Feng Xian and Wang Kai listened to Ru'er's words, and they both looked at Liu Fan curiously, but immediately thought that Liu Fan had just saved the lives of Ling Han and the maid Ru'er two days ago, and their faces immediately showed an expression that should be like this, because the maid was beside them, neither of them said anything, Liu Fan arched his hand to say goodbye to the two, and then followed Ru'er from the corridor to the north into the moon cave door of the north courtyard.
