Now I finally have time to accompany Chi Wan, but I have to enter the barracks again.

Thinking of this, Xie Yutang's heart was extremely guilty. Chi Wan was careful, realized that something was wrong with the other party, and after some reassurance, she let Xie Yutang go to the barracks without any scruples.

Because of Xie Yutang's outstanding military ability, he was quickly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain, leading more than a dozen soldiers under his hands.

At first, these soldiers rejected him because of his unusual temperament. But after a period of getting along, I found that although he seemed to be cold and unapproachable, he was actually very kind, and he was always able to help everyone in a critical moment, and several of them were saved by him, so everyone was convinced of him and respected him as a big brother.

"Brother Xie, you have made great contributions this time, and you will definitely be able to be promoted again." One of them, Wang Sheng, admired Xie Yutang very much, and looked at him with envy on his face at this time and said.

Although Xie Yutang knew that he had made a lot of contributions, he still waved his hand very modestly, "If it weren't for the cooperation of all the brothers, I wouldn't be able to resist that wave of enemies, and I can't talk about individual heroism on the battlefield, the most important thing is to be united." ”

When everyone listened to his words, they couldn't help but admire him even more, he had repeatedly made great achievements, but he had never been proud.

"Anyway, you're promoted, and you're going to invite your brothers to drink." Wang Sheng patted him on the shoulder, looking like a good brother.

"There's absolutely no problem with that." Xie Yutang couldn't accept everyone's physical contact with him at first, although he had also fought on the battlefield before, and had eaten and lived with the soldiers. But everyone is hindered by his identity, although they respect him, but they always retain a certain distance, this time he is an ordinary person, so everyone treats him like an ordinary brother, which makes him feel very novel.

To everyone's surprise, at the end of the reward, Xie Yutang was not promoted and appreciated by the chief, but like everyone, he was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Wang Sheng, who had the best relationship with him, immediately couldn't help but want to reason with the chief, but Xie Yutang grabbed his arm, gave him a look, and signaled him not to act impulsively.

After leaving the camp, Wang Sheng was still indignant and began to scold at the door.

"Did Adjutant General Li get kicked in the head by a donkey? Obviously, big brother, you have the most credit, but why did you get the same as everyone else when you received the reward in the end? ”

Wang Mazi, who has a good relationship with them, reminded in a low voice, "I know that you are holding grievances for the eldest brother, but Vice General Li hasn't gone far yet, you are shouting everywhere, be careful to let them hear, and give you the first meal when the time comes." ”

Wang Sheng snorted nonchalantly, "I don't care about them." ”

"It doesn't matter if you are punished yourself, what if you get involved with the eldest brother when the time comes?" As soon as Wang Mazi said this, Wang Sheng immediately lowered his voice.

Xie Yutang felt very warm in his heart when he saw them fighting for themselves.

"Manly man, why bother with this? Didn't you send money today? Let's go, I'll take you to drink wine and eat meat! ”

When Wang Sheng heard the word drinking, his eyes lit up suddenly, "I know that a new tavern has opened nearby, which is very good, let's go there today, drink one and don't get drunk and don't return." ”

Zhang Wu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and threw him a big roll of his eyes, "Are you embarrassed to let the eldest brother treat you every time?" You've never paid for a drink, no, I've got to treat you this time. ”

"This is not good, my money will be sent back to my mother, so that she can save it to help me get a daughter-in-law." Hearing this, Wang Sheng immediately protected his money bag.

Wang Mazi also disagreed very much, and helped on the side, "Every time I let the eldest brother have a treat, the sister-in-law should have an opinion." ”

They knew early on that Xie Yutang had already married.

Several of their family backgrounds are very ordinary, although Xie Yutang is down, but there is no shortage of these wine money, and immediately said loudly, "You don't have to fight, I will treat you if you say that I will treat you, if you don't go, you won't give me face." ”

Several people heard him say this, so they had to nod their heads in agreement and went to the newly opened tavern together.

"Shopkeeper, come three catties of fine liquor." After Xie Yutang ordered the wine, he ordered a lot of appetizers.

After a few glasses of wine, the fire that Wang Sheng suppressed came up again, "I think Vice General Li is afraid that the eldest brother will steal his position, so he wants to suppress the eldest brother." ”

Everyone was silent, and they all felt that there was some truth in what he said.

"Didn't you say it's okay not to talk about it?" Xie Yutang filled them with wine.

"Big brother, I really admire you." Wang Mazi raised his wine glass and looked at him with admiration.

Generally, talented people will be proud of their talents, but the eldest brother is neither humble nor arrogant, and he will definitely be able to become a master in the future.

Several people drank until the beginning of the lantern before they were ready to leave, probably because they drank too much, Xie Yutang stumbled when he got up, and was immediately held by a weak and boneless little hand.

As soon as he turned around, he faced a pair of beautiful eyes, and it was the little daughter of the store who supported him.

Wang Sheng looked back and saw this scene, and smacked his lips with envy, "Big brother is really a good blessing, when I was drinking just now, I noticed that this woman had been secretly looking at the eldest brother, and sure enough, now I will start to give my arms to the hug!" ”

"Thank you, girl." Xie Yutang immediately took a few steps back and kept his distance from the woman.

The shopkeeper's daughter held back the shyness in her heart and whispered, "Childe has drunk so much, I'm afraid it's not safe to go back, or ...... A little woman giving you a ride? ”

"No need, my wife is already waiting at home." Xie Yutang glanced at her coldly and rejected her kindness.

He already has a wife, and after learning this, although the daughter of the store is full of disappointment, although her heart is budding, she has to leave with a disappointed face.

"Why is the eldest brother so puzzled, that woman is in love with you at a glance." Zhang Wu joked with a smile, the people in their barracks are all coarse, and they have always spoken with meat and vegetarians, but there is no malice.

Xie Yutang looked at him with a very serious expression, "I have a deep relationship with my wife, and I can't tolerate a third person anymore." ”

Zhang Wu had drunk a little too much, and when the words came out, he also knew that something was wrong, and scratched his head after hearing Xie Yutang's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the sister-in-law is really a master.

When they had eaten and drunk, the crowd dispersed.

When Chi Wan saw Xie Yutang coming back full of alcohol, she greeted him with some surprise, "Why did you drink like this today?" ”

"I went out to drink with a few brothers in the barracks, but I didn't expect to drink too much." Xie Yutang rubbed his eyebrows.

Chi Wan hurriedly brought him a bowl of sobering soup, "Could it be that you have been promoted again?" ”

During this time, the speed of his promotion is simply staggering, and he is really a smart person, and he can mix like a fish in water wherever he goes.

Xie Yutang was silent for a moment, and then said in a dumb voice, "I didn't get any other awards this time. ”

Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, quickly recovered her senses, and said with a smile, "That's normal, you are a little soldier who rises so fast, it is easy to be hated." ”

Xie Yutang knew that she was comforting herself, so he put his arm around her waist and buried his head in her arms, "Do you think I'm useless?" ”

Having lost the aura of a general, he is just an ordinary person.

Ji Wan gently stroked his hair, "How come?" You've always been a big hero in my heart. ”

Under the moonlight, two lonely souls draw warmth from each other.

Xie Yutang quickly recovered from this small blow, as he said, how could a manly man be depressed because of a little setback.

And except for Ji Wan, no one knew that he had felt sad because of this incident.

In the next few battles, Xie Yutang made the first contribution every time, but the strange thing is that when it came time to reward his meritorious deeds, he did not receive the corresponding rewards and promotions.

In this way, not to mention Wang Sheng, even Wang Mazi and Zhang Wu were angry.

"This group of people is really too much, the eldest brother fought bloodily on the battlefield, but he didn't even get the reward he deserved afterwards, it was too deceitful, I want to sue them!" Wang Sheng couldn't hold back at first, and shouted that he was going to find someone to theorize.

This time, Wang Mazi and Zhang Wu didn't stop him, and they also felt that they couldn't continue to endure it. In the end, it was Xie Yutang who persuaded them not to go.

"Big brother, why are you stopping me? Are you scared? Wang Sheng was very puzzled, and at the same time had a hint of hidden disappointment. In his eyes, his eldest brother is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and will never give in to the powerful.

Before Xie Yutang could say anything, Zhang Wu immediately reprimanded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Big brother is the kind of person who is timid and timid, he must have a better way. ”

Xie Yutang felt three pairs of eyes looking at him fieryly, and shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Actually, I don't have an idea in my heart, after all, I don't even know who robbed me of my credit, so how can I redress my grievances? What's more, I remember it clearly, it is written in black and white that I only killed three people, who can testify for me? ”

"Our brothers can testify for you." Wang Sheng said without thinking. His words were echoed by the rest of the group.

"If you go and testify for me, will the people above believe me? When the time comes, I may be able to punish you for a crime of deception. ”

Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they asked angrily, "Can we just endure it like this?" ”

"Of course not." Xie Yutang actually had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say it, although the people under him seemed to be very reliable, there was no guarantee that one of them would betray him. In this world, there is no shortage of people who are timid and afraid of things and love vanity.
