Changguo, Xuanwei Army Barracks.

The soldiers trained their guns on the beach in the morning and went to the shooting range in the afternoon to practice archery.

This is the training order issued by Yang Congyi to the Xuanwei Army after arriving at the Changguo military camp.

The Xuanwei Army, which had been lazy for many days, restarted the training two years ago, practicing guns, marching, and archery every day, and they had not practiced for two years.

After half a month of restorative training, the Xuanwei Army gradually got some of the same appearance as it was two years ago.

After Zhao An returned to Changguo with the Xuanwei Army more than two months ago, he basically did not grasp the military training, because he knew that the Xuanwei Army would have to be dismantled sooner or later.

But a month ago, when the imperial court appointed him as the commander of the Xuanwei Army, the situation changed a little, and the Xuanwei Army was finally completely in charge of him and belonged to his army, so the training began to resume slowly, training for two hours a day.

But then the problem came, the Hui Yi fleet was no longer responsible for their expenses, and the imperial court did not distribute grain and grass to them. After some difficult negotiations, only the remaining military funds and ordnance were brought back from the sea ship docked in Mingzhou Port, and the problem of money and food was still not solved, and the Xuanwei Army became a motherless child.

Without food, training suddenly became a problem, and this news began to spread throughout the army, and in the end, military training ended without a problem, and no one paid food, so what else did you train? The Xuanwei army does not have a camp, can it go to the sea to fish?

The whole army was completely lazy, relying only on the only food stockpile, two meals a day, barely surviving.

A few days later, when Yang Congyi returned to the Changguo military camp, he saw the Xuanwei army sleeping and playing in the camp with nothing to do.

He is the supervising army, and he is naturally responsible for the grain and grass, and the Xuanwei army is cut off from the grain and grass, and no one cares, but fortunately, he still has some private money, and at this time he can't care whether it is private money, and thousands of people can't eat it for long, so as he did two years ago, he went to buy fish from fishermen, and he paid five cents a pound. After buying the fish, Huotoujun began to make fish noodles, and the ones that could not be eaten were saved first, and after a few days, there were thousands of catties of grain in stock.

The food problem was temporarily solved, the stomach was full, the military training began immediately, and as for the salary, Yang Congyi promised that the imperial court would definitely solve it. The sergeants also knew that if the imperial court did not solve the problem in the short term, would they still be able to rebel? Rebellion is impossible.

After the military training gradually resumed, Yang Congyi wanted to go home to see, after all, as long as the Xuanwei Army was not hungry at this time, it was indeed fine.

After he explained to Zhao An, he was about to leave the camp the next day, but in the afternoon of the same day, the order of the Privy Council arrived.

"Yang Jianjun, the imperial court wants us to rush to Qinzhou within a month, we don't know where this Qinzhou is, whether it is by boat or walking, how to solve the food and salary, where to get military supplies and military supplies, we didn't say anything." Zhao An was very annoyed with the appointment order of the Privy Council.

Yang Congyi's brows were also tightly locked, he knew where Qinzhou was, but he could let Xuanwei Army go to Qinzhou and other remote places to do something, what to eat and drink there.

"Commander Zhao doesn't have to be angry, since the imperial court has an order, it will naturally make arrangements, and we will transfer according to the order. As far as I know, Qinzhou is not far from Guangzhou, right on the seashore, and can be reached directly by sea boats. The north wind has risen on the sea, and we will be able to reach it in half a month by boat, with a smooth wind and smooth water. At present, the Xuanwei army still has 4,000 people and 10 warships, and it will definitely not be able to transport so many people at one time, so it will have to go to Mingzhou Port to requisition a few larger sea ships. During the voyage, we can resupply once in Quanzhou, and then go directly south to Qinzhou, and the whole trip will not take more than twenty days. Yang Congyi thought about it and said with relief.

Zhao An nodded: "That's all it can be." Time is pressing, in order to prevent accidents, let's leave early, how about three days later? ”

Yang Congyi said: "Okay, then three days later." ”

That night, the commanders of the battalions were summoned to convey the order of the Xuanwei Army to reorganize and defend Qinzhou, and set off by boat on time three days later.

In three days, the Xuanwei army requisitioned eight sea ships, loaded them with fresh water, food, military supplies and ordnance, and after preparing for a long march, they immediately left the camp and sailed south.

The fleet was full sails, day and night, and arrived outside the port of Quanzhou on the fourth day of leaving the camp.

The army is not allowed to enter the city at will without the permission of the imperial court, and the Xuanwei army is no exception, the entire fleet docks at the coast outside Quanzhou Bay, except for a small number of supply personnel, the rest of the sergeants are not allowed to go offshore.

Yang Congyi led hundreds, bare-handed Xuanwei troops into the city to purchase grain and vegetables.

For the hundreds of sergeants who suddenly appeared in Quanzhou, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Yang Congyi had to go to the Quanzhou Mansion to communicate and record.

After leaving the yamen, he handed over five hundred taels of silver bills to a junior officer, and after explaining to them, the sergeants left with the officer, and Yang Congyi walked quickly to the north of the city.

A small courtyard in the north of the city.

"Lian'er, bring me a few winter coats too." A woman is washing clothes in the courtyard.

There was an answer in the room.

After a while, a little girl came out with a few clothes, put them in the basin, and said, "Madam, I'll wash it." He crouched down.

The woman's hand didn't stop, and she said, "Your strength is still small, how can you wash it clean." Wait until you're older. ”

The little girl didn't speak, squatting to the side and watching.

After a while, the woman asked, "Is there any news in the city these two days?" ”

The little girl shook her head and replied, "No special news." Do you think the master can come back? ”

The woman paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I will definitely come back, but Lin'an is too far from here, and it takes half a month to take a boat, and it takes longer to walk." I'm his wife, no matter how long the road is, he will come back. ”

The little girl thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Madam, why don't we go to Lin'an to find the master." ”

The woman shook her head: "Lin'an is too big, and there are a lot of people, we still wait at home and don't go anywhere, otherwise he won't find us when he comes back, and he will be in a hurry." After speaking, he continued to bow his head and wash his clothes.

Silence returned to the courtyard, and only the sound of laundry could be heard.

"Bang bang" There were three sudden sounds outside the door.

The woman stopped what she was doing, looked up and said, "Lian'er, go and have a look." ”

The little girl got up and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard and asked loudly, "Who?" ”

"Qingchen, I'm back." A voice came from outside the door.

As soon as the woman heard this, she got up and hurried to the door, pulled the bolt of the door, and saw that there was not the same person she had been thinking about for a long time. Immediately tears of joy remained.

Yang Congyi looked at the woman with tears rolling down, took two steps forward, stepped into the courtyard, and hugged her in his arms: "The lady has suffered." ”

Qingchen also kept him tightly, unable to speak with excitement, but kept crying.

After a while, Yang Congyi raised his hand to wipe away her tears and said with a smile: "Lady, don't cry, I'm not back." ”

After crying, all the grievances were vented, and a smile appeared on Qingchen's tear-stained face, and he didn't say anything, and pulled Yang Congyi to the room.

The little girl looked at this slightly strange person, is he the master? I didn't have any impression at all. Close the courtyard door, plug in the deadbolt, and go back to the courtyard to wash the unwashed garment.

The room held hands and looked at each other, and his eyes were full of affection.

"Husband, Qingchen thinks so hard about what you think. You've been back for so long, why didn't you come back to see me? As he spoke, he threw himself into Yang Congyi's arms, holding his hands very tightly, for fear that if he let go, he would not see him for a long time.

Yang Congyi raised his hand and hugged her tightly: "I also want to come back to see you early, but I went back to Quanzhou for three days before, and there were too many things to get out of the camp, and then I took the fleet to Lin'an, and I didn't let me go there, I only arrived in Changguo almost a month ago, and I couldn't leave Changguo for a while, and I didn't come back until today." I've been thinking about you day and night, lady. He kissed her on the forehead.

Qingchen's face turned red instantly, and he said in a low voice: "Husband, it's not dark yet." ”

Yang Congyi kissed lightly for a while and then let go, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, we have been married for two years, and there are no outsiders in the courtyard." ”

"Lian'er is still outside." Qingchen said softly.

"Okay, it's up to the lady. How have you come through these two years? Yang Congyi took her hand and sat down.

I haven't seen each other for almost two years, and the two have endless words and endless love, and this chat is half a day.

After dinner and washing, Qingchen sent Lian'er to the outermost room early to rest, tonight is her happy day with her husband, she doesn't want to be overheard by the girl who is growing up.

Two red candles were lit in the room, making the bedroom even more cozy.

The candlelight penetrated through the gauze vines hanging from the top of the bed, and it was hazy inside, and the clothes were fading one by one, and the low temperature could not stop the enthusiasm of the newlyweds.

"Lady, you have recovered well in the past two years, and you are as beautiful as when you were in Tianzhu Mountain."

"Don't be ashamed, you had this idea at the time?"

"No, it means you're as healthy as you were then. The lady is getting more and more beautiful, and the more she looks at it, the better she looks. ”

"Enough is enough, quickly put out the candle and go to sleep."

"The lady is so good-looking, how can I see enough, just let it light up, I've seen you for two years, and you won't let me see more."

"I want to see my husband too, can I?"

"My whole person is yours, lady look at it casually."

"Ah...... You're a bad person, you're not ashamed. ”

"It's what the lady wants to see."

"Husband, don't look at it, go to bed quickly."

There was a low moan, and the yarn vine moved lightly.

Soon after, with a high-pitched cry of pain, the yarn vines shook violently, sending out the incessant* and heavy gasps inside like waves, spreading into the distance, filling the room and drifting into the silent courtyard.

The night lasted until late at night, when the courtyard was completely restored.

Qingchen lay limply in Yang Congyi's arms, and said softly: "Will you leave when you come back this time?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "There is something in the imperial court, and I have to go to the south, I will pass by Quanzhou today, and I will come back to see the lady, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

"Can you not go? Can I go with you? "Qingchen whispered.

"The affairs of the court cannot be left undone. We are both young, and we have a long way to go, and I don't know what is going on in the south, so I'll take you over when it's settled. Yang Congyi hugged her waist tightly, and the two were close together.

"Husband, then I will listen to you, I must take it when I am stable, and let me be alone, I don't know if I can hold on."

"I know, sleep." After saying that, he turned his head and blew out the candle at the head of the bed.
