Coming out of the barracks, the sun was already setting, Qin Cheng did not let Kong Jin send him off, and slowly walked to the county guard mansion on horseback, followed by Qin Qingzhi and his own soldier Wang Er.

"General, there is a soup and cake shop in front, do you want to sit down and eat something? The general hasn't eaten yet. Halfway through, Qin Qingzhi pointed to a small shop in front of him and said to Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng had previously told Kong Jin to go to the barracks with him after lunch, but in fact, Qin Cheng was delayed because he had to write a letter to the Guo sisters, so he was still hungry.

"Soup cake shop?" Qin Cheng smiled, and also felt a little hungry, so he said: "There is a soup cake shop by the Zhishui River in Chang'an, which is very good, but I don't know if the soup cake still has the taste of Chang'an here." It's just that generally speaking, everything that has characteristics leaves the place of origin, and most of them will become unrecognizable. ”

Qin Cheng This is not a casual remark, in later generations, there are many such examples, and most of the special snacks on the street are not like the four.

"Didn't the general always say that no matter what happened, he always knew what was going on until he had done it? Besides, the general hasn't eaten today, so it doesn't hurt to go and try it. "As a pro-soldier, Qin Qingzhi is naturally conscientious and always thinks about Qin Cheng's body.

"It's fine." Qin Cheng dismounted and walked towards the soup cake shop.

Unexpectedly, as he walked to the door, a wooden board suddenly poked out of the room, almost hitting the tip of Qin Cheng's nose.

The person carrying the long wooden plank heard the noise outside, put the wooden plank on the ground and held it with his hand, and a small face poked out from behind the plank, but it was a girl who was about the prime of her life, she saw Qin Cheng in a robe, and couldn't help but be stunned, and forgot to speak for a while, probably frightened.

This wooden board is naturally recognized by Qin Cheng for "closing the door", and several wooden planks are inlaid in the door groove, which is a door. At that time, this was the most common convenience door for the smallest households.

"Closing?" Qin Cheng asked the girl with a smile.

After listening to Qin Cheng's words, the girl still looked at him in a daze, her eyes widened, she didn't say a word, and Qin Cheng was not in a hurry, waiting for her to react. It's just that Qin Cheng obviously overestimated the level of awe of the girl at this time for the general, and the girl didn't squeeze a word out of her throat until Qin Qing stepped forward and reminded loudly: "The general asked you!" Are there still soup cakes for sale? ”

Now the girl finally reacted, she blushed and lowered her head, and said cowardly: "No, it's going to close." It didn't look like fear, but it looked like she'd be more shy, and I didn't know what was going on in the girl's mind.

"Can't you do this business and then close it?" Qin Qingzhi was a little unwilling.

The girl shook her head, plucked up the courage to look up at Qin Cheng, and lowered her head again, but her face was even redder, and she whispered, "The owner is going to rest." ”

"Then forget it." Qin Cheng waved his hand to interrupt Qin Qingzhi, who was about to say something, smiled at the girl who didn't know why she was shy like this, and said "excuse me" and was about to turn around and leave.

"Yonghe, let the guests stay, I'll make another one." Suddenly a woman's voice came from the room, not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Got it, owner." The girl named Yonghe turned around and answered, lowered her head and said to Qin Cheng and the others, "General, please come in." After that, he glanced at Qin Cheng quickly, picked up the wooden board that was much taller than her when his cheeks flew with a blush, and quickly turned around and walked towards the back room, which made Qin Qingzhi and the others surprised for a while, and felt amused again.

Unlike Qin Qingzhi and Wang Er, Qin Cheng's attention at this time was not on Yonghe, and the voice of the "owner" in the room made him feel extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. In the midst of distress, I only heard two "Wang" sounds, and a big black dog rushed in from the street, ran into the inner room with a familiar way, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this half-human-tall big black dog, Qin Cheng finally thought of who the owner of the voice was, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.

"General, sit down." Qin Qingzhi saw Qin Cheng standing there stunned, a little puzzled.

Qin Cheng let out a "hmm" and sat down in the shop with an expressionless face, but his heart was already entangled. To go, or not to go? Just left, Qin Cheng felt a little embarrassed, after all, no one was much, and he couldn't be a big man with stage fright first, so that people could not underestimate him. If you don't leave, Qin Cheng, who has seen the bowl of "sobering soup", is still a little uncomfortable when she wants to eat her soup cakes.

Why don't you just rush in and kill her? After all, I haven't asked her to settle the account that day......

It didn't take long for the girl to come out with a bowl of steaming soup cakes, timidly put them in front of Qin Cheng, didn't look at Qin Cheng, and said softly: "The owner said that the general should only eat it with confidence, and Wucheng's dough cakes are no better than Chang'an's hot soup." ”

After saying that, Yonghe quickly turned around and went into the back room again.

"General, what do you mean by that?" When Qin Qingzhi heard this, he wondered for a while.

Qin Cheng looked at the steaming soup cake in front of him, how could he have a feeling of déjà vu, and smiled bitterly at the moment, "Ben will like Chang'an's hot soup." ”

Regardless of whether Qin Qingzhi understood it or not, Qin Cheng let go and ate it, anyway, with Qin Qingzhi watching by his side, Qin Cheng was not worried about any accident.

If it was really that never-ending scene, the people in the house were only afraid that they would have taken action as early as the big black dog entered the house, and they would not have cooked this bowl of soup cakes honestly, and let Yonghe bring such a sentence out.

Although Qin Cheng didn't understand how a killer in the past had become the owner of a soup cake shop today.

From the beginning to the end, no one in the back room showed up.

After eating the bread and asking Qin Qingzhi to pay, Qin Cheng stood up and said to the inner room: "What, there is an old man who comes from his hometown, and the owner doesn't plan to come out to see him?" ”

"There is no old man in Chang'an, but there is one in Wucheng." With a sound as clear as spring water, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a young woman in a green cloth shredded dress walked out, looking at Qin Cheng with a smile, it was Lady Xiao.

Behind Lady Xiao, the big black dog with black teeth stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail at Qin Cheng.

"I thought you'd give me an account of what happened that day." Qin Cheng looked at Lady Xiao and teased. Lady Xiao, who is dressed as a housewife, has a lot less Jianghu atmosphere, and more of the taste of neighborhood, which is easier to approach. It's just that the indifference in his eyes that he is not enthusiastic about everything is still so obvious.

Lady Xiao leaned on the door frame and smiled indifferently, "If I say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be too hypocritical?" If I said thank the general for not killing that day, would I be too badly beaten? ”

"So you choose not to say anything at all." Qin Cheng nodded knowingly.

"Because it doesn't matter if I say it or not." Lady Xiao said, her breezy eyes looked at Qin Cheng quietly, "Any language seems redundant. ”

Qin Cheng smiled, noncommittal, looked at Yonghe, who was standing on the side in a daze, turned around and greeted Qin Qingzhi and Wang Er, and took the lead in walking out of the store.

Qin Qingzhi and Wang Er, as Qin Cheng's personal soldiers, naturally heard about Qin Cheng's bloody battle in Chang'an that day, and at that moment the two of them glanced at Lady Xiao coldly, and followed Qin Cheng out of the door.

"General, just let her go?" On the way, Qin Qingzhi still couldn't restrain himself after all, and asked angrily.

Qin Cheng glanced at Wu Cheng at the beginning of the lanterns, and sighed lightly: "If I still have the strength to spare that day, I naturally won't let her survive." But now, there is no point in killing her. ”

......

Twenty miles outside the city of Panyu, the camp of the king of Dongyue.

Half a month ago, Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, led 50,000 troops out of Minyue, known as 100,000 troops, as the main force of the vanguard, and suddenly invaded the territory of Nanyue. The South Vietnamese army was taken by surprise and was taken by Yu Shan Lian several cities in the past few days. In the past half a month, Yu Shan has traveled 500 miles to the west, and the troops have come to the city of Panyu three days ago.

After the war spread for nearly half a month, the king of Nanyue, who had been confused by Yu Shan's friendly gesture, finally mobilized 30,000 troops to rush to Panyu City to strengthen the city defenses, and came to Panyu in person to command the army to resist Yu Shan.

At that time, because of the reinforcement of the follow-up troops, Yu Shan's army had reached 80,000, and it was claimed to have 200,000 soldiers, threatening to go south to Fanyu in one fell swoop, smash the Nanyue royal city, and completely recover the subjects of Nanyue.

The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and multiple is to divide it. But there has never been a regular war in the world, although Yu Shan's troops are only 80,000, it seems that it is not impossible to conquer Panyu, which is defended by 30,000 people, and it is even said to be a very certain thing.

In recent years, Yu Shan has governed the country well, his army is well-equipped, and his soldiers are brave in battle, and his combat power is not comparable to that of the king of Nanyue, who has not done much, whether it is an individual or an army. In the past few days, there has been a heavy atmosphere in Panyu City, and everyone thinks of danger. And the Yushan army that came with a great victory was highly morale, as if taking Panyu City was just a matter of a snap of a finger.

At this time, Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue in military uniform, was standing on the watchtower built by the military camp, looking at Panyu City twenty miles away, and a man in civilian clothes stood behind him.

"The army's grain and grass have all been counted today, how long will it take to make siege equipment?" Yu Shan's voice was full of confidence and domineering, he didn't look back when he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the big city in front of him, as if he was appreciating a trophy.

"Three days." The man behind him replied, his words crisp.

"Hmm." Yu Shan bowed slightly, pointed to Panyu City in front of him, and said loudly: "Three days later, the army will attack the city, and this king will take Panyu in one fell swoop!" ”

The man behind him was noncommittal, but just smiled and said: "I heard that the king of Nanyue has made a bold statement that he wants to advance and retreat with the soldiers and people of Panyu." ”

Yu Shan laughed when he heard this, as if he had heard a big joke, "Yu Panyu coexists and dies?" It's a shame that he said it out of the old horseman! Just 30,000 stragglers, just want to stop my 200,000 elite army? It's a dream! Didn't he want to advance and retreat with Panyu? Well, this king will fulfill him, and let him go to hell with his broken city! ”
