Because it is not forbidden to ride horses in the barracks, at this time, Zhao Shishi had already thrown his stirrups off the saddle and got off his mount, and when he heard someone talking loudly, he turned around and squinted his eyes to find Wen Mu in the crowd. There was no look of surprise on his face, he looked at Wen Mu Yaoyao and nodded his head as if he had said hello, turned back and asked the sentry on duty, "What's the matter with those people?" ”

"They all left the barracks without reason, and they were detained here waiting for their battalion officers to deal with them."

Shi didn't ask again, and said to Wen Mu who approached, "My lord is looking for you." You will go with me. Without waiting for Wen Mu to agree, he threw the whip reins in his hand to a few pro-soldiers, and left.

Wen Mu was pleasantly surprised and wanted to ask how Shang Cheng knew about him, but seeing that the stone ignored him with a cold face, he had to swallow all the words that came to his mouth, and silently followed the stone into the barracks, bypassing the small school yard of the grain depot, turning a few rows of warehouses that were temporarily vacated as barracks, and then entering the small public house of the grain depot. The stone said, "You wait here, I'll go and tell the lord," and threw Wen Mu down into the main house.

Because of Shang Cheng's arrival, martial law has also been imposed in the public house, except for the two nine-rank officers standing in front of the main house of the upper room, half of the figure in the small courtyard is nowhere to be seen. Wen Mu saw that the two officers were saluting him, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, and looked at it carefully, and even knew the young man surnamed Tian with a scar on his lips on the left, who seemed to be a fellow villager of Shangcheng, and the other stout middle-aged man was a native of Tuqi who had been exiled to the Central Plains; Both of them were border soldiers who followed Shang Cheng all the way from West Malaysia, and they didn't expect that they were now Shang Cheng's personal soldiers, and they were both promoted to officers...... He sighed in his heart, but he didn't faux rude, smiled and nodded one by one. Tian Xiaowu said in a low voice: "Captain Wen, where have you run away for such a long time, why haven't you even heard from you?" If you hadn't happened to come to this grain depot this time to inspect and heard people talk about you, I'm afraid you would have died on the grassland......"

Wen Mu sighed, shook his head and said, "My business...... Alas, it's hard to put into words. ”

Tian Xiaowu said: "What is not good to say. It's a shame that after the governor of my family returned to Yanshan last year, he asked people to inquire about your whereabouts everywhere, and you didn't even bring a message, so you lost your heart in this Yanyan Town......" said with a meaningful smile and stopped.

Wen Mu thought quickly, and he had already heard some signs from Tian Xiaowu's half-cut words, this must be Shang Cheng coming to the army to inspect, I don't know which guy brought Xue Sanniang's matter out as a story, but Shang Cheng casually asked what the person's surname was, and naturally knew that he was still alive, and then asked Shi Shi to go to the town to find himself, maybe he also looked for Sanniang...... His face swollen red, and he defended: "Don't listen to people's nonsense! That's my savior. Seeing that Tian Xiaowu and Su Zha both looked at themselves with a smile and a look of disbelieving, they had to change the topic and asked, "Adults are discussing inside?" ”

"I didn't think about it, so I called some officers and non-commissioned officers to talk inside."

Wen Mu asked puzzledly, "Talking to the soldiers?" Say what? ”

"Say anything."

Wen Mu was even more confused. When I listened attentively, I heard Le Huai talking about his own affairs with a loud voice: "...... Don't you know, Feng Niang's face is handsome, her skin is tender, and her little hands are skillful...... Tsk, I can't even tell you. At that time, I was thinking of marrying her and coming back to live together, so I went to sue my father, and invited a matchmaker to come to her house to propose, and her father said that the leading cow could take his daughter away. But my family was so poor at that time that I couldn't even open the pot, where could I get the money for a cow? I put my heart on the sidelines, so I simply went to eat food and become a soldier, thinking that after saving up for two years, I could always get back a cow, right? But what about the result......"

Wen Mu and the others were listening to the story and listened attentively, but Le Huai suddenly stopped talking, and the three of them quietly moved their steps towards the front of the main house, and listened to the people in the room asking in a hurry: "What is the result?" The result? ”

"As a result," Le Huai said, "as a result, I was transferred to the Liyuan camp after only half a year as a soldier, and the soldier's rations were eaten for five years, until I was promoted to sentry commander in the spring of the year before last, and then I had a forty-five day vacation." I guess I'm going home, right? I brought all the money I had saved over the years, supported half a year's food and salary in one go, and borrowed a lot of money from someone, ran back to buy five acres of land for my father, and told my brother about my brother's relatives, patted my ass and came back......"

"Who asked you this! What about the girl? What about Feng Niang? Why didn't you marry her? ”

"She's married early......"

As soon as these words came out, in a sigh of regret, Le Huai said: "Fortunately, I didn't marry." Didn't you see, I went back that year and met her again in the village, I haven't seen her for a few years, her face is black, her hands are thick, and her skin is ...... Alas, it's almost the same as Wen Zhaoyuan's good look. Who would have thought that such a handsome girl would completely change her life in a few years? ”

There was another round of laughter in the room. Tian Xiaowu and Su Zha, who were with Wen Mu outside the house, were a little embarrassed, their eyes wandered, and they pulled the corners of their mouths with embarrassed expressions. Then the room was quiet for a while, and I heard someone "oh" in shock, followed by the thumping sound of the seat drum stool moving, and then a tall figure stepped out of the main room, stood at the door and looked at it slightly, and took two steps down the steps and held Wen Mu's hand tightly: "Okay, you Wen Zhaoyuan, you still say that my friend who is blind has been in Yanzhou for so long, and he didn't say that he came to see me once!" ”

The difference in class and rank between the two people is too big now, Wen Mu originally wanted to give a big gift in the march, but his hands were held by Shang Cheng and he couldn't break free, let alone make a big gift, even if he wanted to give it up, he couldn't do it. He has always regarded Shang Cheng as a very good friend, although it is inevitable to be in a good mood when they meet separately for a long time, but he never expected that Shang Cheng would hold hands with him in front of everyone, Yin Yin's concern was beyond words, and he was moved and excited for a while, his heart was hot, his hands tightly held Shang Cheng's big hands full of calluses, and his lips trembled for a long time without saying a word. The soldiers who poured out of the house behind Shang Cheng had long been stunned.

Le Huai, who was joking with Wen Mu just now, turned a little pale. Admiral Yanshan came to inspect the barracks, and after seeing the barracks, he called some people to the public office to talk, because he couldn't understand his temperament, at first everyone still had the idea of dealing with it carefully, but Shang Cheng did not have the frame of the commander, and he spoke and acted in a way that followed the wishes of these big-headed soldiers, and gradually everyone became unguarded, and opened up the topic of the world, the south and the north. They are all bachelors here, and they don't have any scruples when they speak, and gradually the topic turns to women, and he also takes out Wen Mu's "affair" and talks about it like this. Who knew that the Governor would inquire about Wen Mu's situation thoroughly, and asked someone to hurry up to find Wen Mu back. He originally thought that Shang Cheng was interested in hearing this, and wanted to meet Wen Mu, a romantic character, but now he realized that things were completely different from what he imagined, it turned out that these two people had known each other earlier, they were not only old friends, but also very good friends......

He hated to swallow back what he had just said.

Alas, I shouldn't have said so much if I had known! Now it's okay, one sentence offends two people......

Shang Cheng and their old friends were reunited, and it was clear that they still had a lot to say, so the other sergeants took their leave. Before leaving, Shang Cheng told everyone that the Ministry of War had approved Yanshanwei's request and agreed to transfer a group of officers and non-commissioned officers from the various armies of the Liyuan battalion to supplement Yanshan. He said: "After you go back, you can think about it and see if you can stay to avenge last year's revenge, and this revenge will be avenged sooner or later!" If anyone is willing to stay, they will go to the barracks commander to inform them, and in these two days, the Wei Mansion will send someone to accept them, and then they will be settled. The brothers who didn't want to stay were not reluctant, and they still set off according to the schedule. ”

After sending everyone away, Shang Cheng and Wen Mu went into the main house to eat tea and talk. The two of them each briefly recounted their experiences after Luhe was separated. After knowing what Wen Mu had encountered, Shang Cheng was silent for a long time before saying, "I won't tell you, I'll ask ...... when I come back" He hesitated for a moment and didn't say the person's name. “…… I asked someone about you. I've asked a few times, but I haven't heard anything from you, so I thought you were ......."

Wen Mu had already guessed that the person Shang Cheng asked for must be Wang Yi. But Shang Cheng didn't want to say anything, so he didn't mention it again, and said with a gloomy smile: "Don't talk about you, it's me, I thought that I would not be spared this time several times...... Even if he was recuperating in the barracks by Yanshui, there were two or three times between life and death, one leg had already stepped into the ghost gate, and his name was ticked off from the book of Hades...... "He stared at the wisps of water vapor rising from the tea cup on the table, and many familiar or unfamiliar faces flickered in the faint mist, or sad, or unwilling, or painful, or hideous, and the more flashed, the more and more flashed, the more anxious they became...... His heart suddenly fell empty, and he let out a long sigh.
