Upper Valley, Qiansang City, North City Gate.

It's late at night.

A few red lights in a house, a double couplet of a window, the lights of the city are full of lights, and the city is prosperous, tonight, even though it is already dark, the laughter of the county town is still there.

Chinese New Year's Eve, time of reunion. The warmth of the whole sky, the festival of all Han people, a day destined to be filled with laughter.

On the north city gate, the armor is lined up, and the north wind blows for a long time, and the ice front is extraordinary. Cold.

The flame grabbed the torch, but it couldn't stop beating.

Dressed in red, he stood alone, facing north.

Clothes fluttering, people quiet.

This is a woman, a woman with a beauty that can bring disaster to the country and the people.

The woman does not bring harm to the country or the people, she just stands there quietly, facing the north.

The sergeant on the wall didn't know how long she had been standing here, and the woman in red had been standing here since they had changed shifts.

The people were not allowed to go up to the city without a fight or permission.

However, none of the sergeants in front of the woman stepped forward to say anything, and the marquis on duty had already ordered not to go and disturb the woman.

The marquis recognized the woman.

That's the general's woman.

And the general, who led 3,000 Han cavalry to attack the Xiongnu, has already won a great victory in ancient times.

The victory of the ancient times is not an exaggeration at all. Rushing into the desert and killing all sides in the Huns' nest, no one among the ancients could beat it.

Qiansang City had just received a report from the sentinel who rushed back with a fast horse, so there were lights all over the city of Qiansang today, if not, Qiansang City, the city was full of curfew.

When they heard the news of the Han army's victory, the soldiers and civilians of the city cheered in unison, and the sky boiled.

And the woman in red also showed a smile that captivated the country and the city at that time.

The beauty is smiling, and the fragrant shirt covers the sleeves.

Seeing the smile of the woman in red, the military marquis suddenly understood that the beauty needs to be able to conquer the country and the city first, and then bring disaster to the country and the people.

However, if it is said that the woman in front of her with a slight chin and shallow dimples wants to bring disaster to the country and the people, the military marquis feels that he is willing to be the king of Zhou You, who is the prince of the beacon opera.

"Sister Bai, the general is back!"

Beside the woman in red, a little woman in the prime of her cardamom years suddenly jumped for joy.

That look, as if he had discovered that he was a princess.

There was no figure on the post road in front of the city gate.

The little woman's voice was extremely affirmative.

Bai Xin smiled happily, her face flushed, her teeth bit her lip lightly, her eyes looked at the end of the post road, and she said softly: "General, you are finally triumphant." ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded.

From far to near.

The fire flashed from the post road.

Three thousand Han horsemen rushed out of the post road and came to the city gate.

"The army returns to the city, open the city gate quickly!"

A ranger took the lead and rushed to the foot of Qiansang City and shouted to the city gate.

"The army is later!"

The marquis at the gate answered.

Qin Cheng was at the forefront of the military formation, and when he looked up, he saw the distinctive red-clothed figure on the city tower.

He smiled slightly, five points proud, five points warm.

Bai Xin Xinwan, five points of relief, five points of pride.

What could be more sensational to a sergeant than the sight before him...... Smug, warm.

For a woman watching out for a sergeant, what could be more hurried than the sight in front of her...... Relieved, proud.

The gates slowly opened.

"The army is in the city!"

Qin Cheng waved his hand.

That action, that look, real him. Mother. Chic!

……

It was not early when the army rushed all the way back to the Qiansang City barracks, but today the officers and men of the army were still in good spirits, so Li Guang ordered the barracks to rush to make a "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner"; except for the rotating sergeants, everyone should go to the school to celebrate the great victory of this expedition, and also celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.

Dozens of bonfires were lit in the entire school yard, illuminating the entire barracks as bright as day.

For these semi-professional sergeants in peacetime and wartime, the barracks are home, and now they can eat a big pot of "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" in the familiar barracks, naturally no one is unhappy. Especially this expedition is a big victory, it won't be long before the reward of the imperial court will come down, and I don't know how many people will be added to the knighthood at that time, all of which are the reasons for the soldiers to revel all night tonight.

Taking advantage of the high interest of the sergeants, Li Guang announced a military order in public: Starting tomorrow, all the officers and men will take turns to go home to save their relatives.

As soon as this order was given, the army was naturally jubilant again.

Not long after the sergeants gathered in the school grounds, someone discovered a surprising thing: Qin Cheng was gone.

In this regard, Li Guang naturally attributed the reason for Qin Cheng's departure from the camp to Qin Cheng's sister Qin Yue, saying that he wanted to go home to accompany his sister for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. When the sergeants heard this, they naturally didn't say anything, but there were still a small number of clever sergeants who couldn't help but think of the woman in red who was at the city gate just now.

Qin Cheng did not stay in the barracks, he took Bai Xinxin and Rong'er to Qin Yue's residence together.

Qin Cheng did not stay in the army, naturally he had his reasons, in his opinion, he had led the cavalry to win the victory of this expedition, as for the next scenes of singing praises for himself, whether he was there or not, the military merits were already there, and the military heart was already there. Compared to those scenes, Qin Cheng had more important things to do.

It's not that Qin Cheng is indifferent to fame and fortune, but he feels that sometimes, his absence will be better than his presence.

As Qin Cheng's only relative in this world, Qin Cheng naturally couldn't know about Qin Yue's expedition, not only that, but when those adults in the county guard mansion knew the news of Qin Cheng's victory and triumph, Qin Yue also got the news. Qin Cheng asked the sentry who came back to report to Qin Yue and brought a message to Qin You, saying that he would come home for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When Qin Cheng took Bai Xinxin and Rong'er to the front of Qin Yue's courtyard, several people saw Qin Yue looking at the door of his house from a distance.

When I saw Bai Xinxin, even though Qin Yue was a woman, I was also amazed, and I couldn't help but admire Bai Xinxin's lovely appearance, like a fairy, and praised Qin Cheng's good vision and good fortune after speaking.

At this time, Bai Xinxin couldn't help blushing her cheeks, lowering her head and being embarrassed to see people. Seeing this, Rong'er snickered on the side, but looking at her expression, she was more proud.

Qin Cheng didn't explain that Bai Xinxin was a woman from the music workshop, anyway, he would get Bai Xinxin out of the music workshop after all, and it was useless to say more at this time.

When everyone entered the door, Qin Yue instructed the servants to heat up the meal that had been prepared, and he and Qin Cheng and the others entered the main hall, and first sat down to talk.

Originally, Qin Yue was very worried about the situation of Qin Cheng's expedition, especially whether Qin Cheng was injured on this expedition, but when he saw Bai Xinxin at this time, his attention was attracted by Bai Xinxin, and he pulled Bai Xinxin to say something different, shh

Qin Cheng, who didn't expect to be treated coldly, had to sigh secretly, thinking that Qin Yue was only just over twenty years old, how could it be like an old woman seeing her daughter-in-law. But thinking about it, Qin Cheng didn't have anything to do at this time, so he could only stare at Rong'er with big eyes.

Qin Yue only thought that Bai Xinxin was a girl from a big family, after all, Bai Xinxin was accompanied by a maid like Rong'er, and it was impossible for the etiquette to be thoughtful.

Qin Cheng watched Qin Yue and Bai Xinxin talk non-stop, and suddenly smiled weirdly.

Qin Yue and Bai Xinxin talked for a while, turned their heads to look at Qin Cheng, and suddenly their eyes darkened, although this action was immediately covered up by Qin Yue, but how could this escape Qin Cheng's eyes?

Seeing Qin Yue's appearance, Qin Cheng didn't have to think about it to know what Qin Yue had in mind.

After all, Qin Yue has passed twenty.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came into the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted: "The wine is coming!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a man hurrying in with several jugs of wine, the man holding two jugs in his hands, one under his arm, and one under his chin, and the jugs swayed when he walked, and seemed to fall down at any time, which made people worry about him.

When Qin Yue saw the person coming, his face turned a little red for no reason, and he wanted to lower his head, but he was worried that the wine jug that the person was holding really fell down, so he couldn't help but look at it worriedly, and he looked very cramped for a while.

"Why did you come, it's been so long to buy a drink, or do you not remember the door?"

Qin Cheng put on an impatient look and scolded.

In front of Qin Yue, he was as happy as a grandson, this was the pleasure of Qin Cheng

Who else is there besides Le Yi?

Le Yi, who was sweating profusely, put the wine jug aside, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead, first glanced at Qin Yue quickly, and then said to Qin Cheng with a bitter face: "Isn't this the New Year, the wineries are closed, and I finally found one, so that it took a long time for people to sell me wine......

Qin Cheng squeezed Le Yi for a while, and after knowing that Qin Yue really couldn't help coughing twice, Qin Cheng let Le Yi go and let him sit in the room.

At this point, the meal began to come up.

Before everyone could open their seats, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the courtyard, followed by a loud laugh that revealed treacherousness.

"Hahahaha...... Qin Dalang, Le Saburo, Nangong Erlang are here! ”

"Nangong Erlang?" Qin Cheng and Le Yi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads together and smile bitterly, listening to the voice, the two naturally knew that it was Nangong Shang who ran to earn the Huns' silver money, but they didn't know when the title of Nangong Erlang of Qin Dalang Le San Lang came from.

"He actually said that he was Erlang and made me the old man?" Le Yi said angrily, obviously dissatisfied with the ranking of Nangong Shang's eldest and youngest.

This is a ridiculous title, but Le Yi is competing with Nangong Shang, which shows that the competitive nature of the two of them really can't be changed for a while.

Everyone got up, Qin Cheng and Le Yi went to the courtyard to greet them, and saw a thin young man in brocade clothes in the courtyard striding towards the main hall.

I have to say that the Nangong Shang who is now dressed in brocade clothes is no longer comparable to the apprentice who was poor at a glance half a year ago.

At that time, there was no rule that merchants could not wear brocade clothes.

"You two stinky boys, you don't call me for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, do you still have me Nangong Shang in your eyes?" Le Saburo, do you still have your second brother Nangong in your eyes? Nangong Shang said in an exaggerated voice, "Fortunately, I have come to lie down today, knowing that you have not returned from the expedition, so I left someone here to wait, if it weren't for the people I left behind to go back to report, would you be ready to eat alone?" Le Saburo, you say, what kind of heart do you have? ”

Le Yi had a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Nangong Xiaosi, don't call me Le Saburo!" ”
