Chapter 21: Missing
As night fell, the sky darkened, and in the west wing, Linglong lit candles.
"Little prince Wang, reluctantly! There are still dozens of words to be written. Linglong walked to the desk with a candlestick and encouraged Wang Cheng, who was writing.
"Sister Linglong, what's next?"
"Mao Shi Shuzi, Gong Fengyan smiled." It was written "Thousand Character Text", Linglong said, pointing to the book.
"Sister Linglong, does this sentence mean that you are as good-looking as you?" Wang Cheng raised his head and looked at Linglong and said.
"Where is the slave and maid looking?" Linglong's face turned red, "Wang Xiaogongzi, write quickly......"
The wax table in Linglong's hand was placed on the desk, and the sleeves brushed the hair of Wang Cheng's sideburns, and there was a feeling of fascination. Wang Cheng didn't know what it was like, but this feeling made him like to be with Linglong very much.
The footsteps at the door approached, Xu Ying walked in with a picture, and Wang Cheng quickly got up and saluted with Linglong.
"Little Prince Wang, you go with me to the barracks to find the general......" Xu Ying said to Wang Cheng, her kind voice couldn't hide the anxiety on her face, and then she coldly ordered Ruhua and Linglong: "You two keep an eye on the things in the courtyard, and wait for me to come back." ”
Seeing that Xu Ying and Wang Chengcheng were about to step out of the door, Linglong hurriedly bowed behind and shouted: "Young grandmother......
"What's the matter?" Xu Ying turned her head, and her cold gaze made Linglong start.
"General-young grandmother ......, it's cold outside, young grandma adds more clothes...... "Linglong said stumblingly.
In the opening of the wooden fence outside the barracks, a straw canopy was set up on several pillars, and under the dim lanterns swaying in the cold wind, several sergeants on duty gathered together to drink wine and talk.
A sergeant grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, threw his neck up and took a sip of wine, wiping his mouth and shouting: "Happy! ”
"Thanks to the general's coming to the barracks to eat today, we have these drinks and food." Another sergeant said.
"Yes, otherwise it's freezing this day, and I won't have a few sips of wine to warm up, I'm afraid it will be frozen tomorrow morning."
The sergeants burst into laughter.
"Isn't this the New Year's Eve, I heard that the General's Mansion has allocated a lot of things to our barracks......" A sergeant's tone was quite wistful.
"Not really. I heard Duan Laosan say yesterday that a few of them followed the chief flag officer to the general's mansion to get things, good guys, Master Liu waved his pen, it was 400 stone meters and 200 pieces ......of cloth," a sergeant sighed.
"This Master Liu waved his pen, don't you have to get the approval of the general's mansion to use the seal?" Another sergeant said.
"Of course ......, you say, this lady in charge of the General's Mansion—" A sergeant turned on the gossip mode.
"This little lady, we know it. She was taken captive by the Tartars outside the city before, and we are in the same team as her......" A red-faced sergeant couldn't help but brag.
"Oh......?" A few sergeants approached.
"Look at how she used to be, but now that she is a master...... I don't know how our general has taken a fancy to her?" The sergeant sighed.
"What happened before?"
"Hehe......" The sergeant sold a pass, stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, lifted the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, and dropped a few drops but could not pour out the wine.
A person next to him hurriedly handed over the wine gourd in his hand, "Wu Er, say it quickly!" ”
The second Wu Lao poured a sip of wine, burped, hehe twice, lowered his voice and said, "This little lady was tartarized on the road...... Hey hey ......"
"Well, what is that? The women in the captives were not trampled by the Tartars, and they were not one or two. "The guy next to me was a little disappointed.
The black dick snorted, "You know a ...... of!" Lao Tzu was so hungry that he couldn't sleep one night, and he craned his neck to look around to find something to eat, and saw this little lady touch the tent of the Tartar by herself......"
"Oh-" the sergeants exclaimed.
"What are you doing in the Tartar tent?" A sergeant asked.
"What? You're pretending to be garlic, aren't you? I didn't know what I was doing, but I saw the little lady come out of the tent with two steamed buns in her hands......"
"Oh-" There was another exclamation.
"Do you think this tartar is her father or her mother? Give her food in the middle of the night? Wu Lao Er pretended to be profound.
"I'm afraid that she did it, she called her father and mother, right?!" A sergeant with a shrill voice said leisurely.
There was a burst of laughter from under the canopy.
After another round of wine and meat, at this moment, this Wu Lao Er seemed to have become the center of the grass canopy night talk - after the wine was drunk, someone handed over his own wine, and this Wu Lao Er's tongue was a little big.
"Lao Tzu will stare at this little lady in the future-" Wu Lao Er saw that everyone was still unsatisfied, and continued to speak.
"What are you staring at? Might it be that you want to learn Tartar too......" asked a sergeant with a grin.
"! Lao Tzu was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back at that time, how could he have the time to think about that kind of thing. Wu Lao Er stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, as if he was resisting the hunger of the day, "Lao Tzu just wanted to get something to eat......
"Oh......" The sergeants vaguely guessed Wu Laoer's train of thought, but this is also ......
"The next day in the afternoon, the Tartars have something to eat and drink, let's squat on the side of the road and drink the northwest ......wind," said Wu Lao Er, "Lao Tzu saw a Tartar beckoning and took the little lady to the woods......"
"Oh......, this tartar ...... during the day," the sergeants began to marvel again.
"You know a bird...... "Wu Lao Er let out a breath of wine, "Lao Tzu used the excuse of wanting to release his hands at that time, and came out of the team to look at it from a distance——"
"What do you see?"
"Hehe, Lao Tzu saw that the tartar leaning against the tree and took out the ...... of the guy, that guy is so big, like a ......", Wu Lao Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't find the right thing to describe it for a while.
"And then?" The sergeants were anxious to ask.
"Later? Later, the little lady squatted down and ......" Wu Lao Er sighed a few times, "That little mouth can actually hold ......"
"Oh......" the sergeants let out another exclamation.
"Lao Tzu was afraid of being discovered by the Tartars, so he didn't dare to look at it more." Wu Lao Er said proudly, "Lao Tzu squatted in the ditch and pretended to relieve his hands......"
"What happened then?" The sergeants asked.
"Later? Later, the little lady came back alone...... "Wu Lao Er licked his mouth," and he still had a piece of bread in his hand. Damn, there's oil on the cake......"
"And what's wrong with you?" The sergeants vaguely guessed the ending.
"What's wrong with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu came out of the ditch, grabbed the cake and ran ......away," Wu Lao Er seemed to be reminiscing, "Damn, that cake is so fragrant, more fragrant than the meat I eat today—Lao Tzu has never eaten such a delicious cake in his life." ”
There was silence.
"Wu Lao Er, you are really bad." It was the sergeant with a shrill voice again, "People eat chickens, you eat cakes......"
The sergeants burst into an embarrassed laugh.
"Aren't you afraid that the little lady will recognize you?" A sergeant asked.
"Afraid of a ball! There are so many people in the captured team, who the hell knows whom? Lao Tzu was just like that...... "Speaking of this, Wu Laoer's mouth suddenly froze, as if someone had pinched his throat to death all of a sudden, and his face, which was originally red from drinking, instantly turned into dead ash.
Outside the grass canopy, under the dim lantern, Xu Ying and Wang Cheng stood one after the other.
"Take me and Wang Xiaogongzi to see Master Ding." Xu Ying said lightly with an expressionless face.
"Whoa!" One of the sergeants, a sergeant commander, hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way. In the grass canopy, Wu Lao Er's dead face was covered with cold sweat the size of beans, and several sergeants looked at him blankly.
There were huge candles burning in the middle military room, drawings were spread on the table, and Ding Yousanzheng was discussing the construction of the arrow road with Fan Tongzhou and Wang Anpei.
"Mr. Wang, it's hard work! Ding thanked the two gentlemen, and if there is a place for Ding in the future, please ask Mr. Wang to give me orders. Ding Yousan thanked Wang Anpei.
Wang Anpei had just completed the book office today, and when he was on duty in the afternoon, he heard about the repair of the arrow road, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to relocate the eight or nine hundred refugees in his township and make room for the arrow road. In the evening, I discussed with Fan Tongzhou, and the two of them came to see Ding Yousan together.
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. I will arrange for the villagers to relocate early tomorrow morning, and ask Mr. Ding to prepare for the start of construction to avoid delay. Wang Anpei replied with a bow.
Fan Tongzhou smiled and nodded on the side, the person he recommended played a role as soon as he appeared, and his face naturally had brilliance.
"Master Ding, where is the general?" Wu Chang rushed in with Xu Ying and Wang Cheng, and as soon as he entered the door, Xu Ying asked Ding Yousan.
"General? Didn't the general go home after lunch? Ding Yousan was surprised.
Xu Ying felt that her body was weak for a while, her hand stroked her forehead and she was shaking, and Wang Cheng hurriedly helped her sit down.
"The general is gone?" Ding Yousan, Fan Tongzhou and others were shocked when they saw Xu Ying's expression.
Fan Tongzhou turned his head to stare at the Wu Commander, and asked coldly, "What's your name?" ”
"Mr. Hui's words, the small second company commander He Zhenshan." Wu Chang replied respectfully.
"You can stay in the military room and watch the night now. From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about what you have just done. After that, Fan Tongzhou gave up his hand to Ding three times, "Master Ding, this matter is very important, and you must not show the slightest rumor!" ”
Ding Yousan nodded, staring at He Zhenshan with gloomy eyes.
He Zhenshan hurriedly knelt down, hugged his fists in front of Ding Yousan's gaze and said, "Master Ding, the little one understands." The little ones will never leave here, and they will never leak the slightest news to anyone! ”
Ding Yousan swayed his chin towards the door, and He Zhenshan quickly got up and went out, holding a spear like a nail in the cold wind of the night.
"Does Mr. Liu know about this?" Fan Tongzhou asked Xu Ying.
Xu Ying shook her head.
"Let's go find Mr. Liu now." Fan Tongzhou looked at Ding Yousan, "Master Ding, you can't leave the barracks, you must control the team!" ”
"Please ask Master Ding to send two capable sergeants to follow us." Fan Tongzhou said, "After arriving at the General's Mansion, Brother An Pei went to the branch room to participate in the night watch, and Xu Xiaoniang and I went to find Mr. Liu. ”
Ding Yousan nodded, and after going out for a while, he brought two sergeants in, the first one was wearing leather armor, hanging an arrow bag, a waist knife, and a long horned bow on his shoulder, and there was a faint rebellious air between his eyebrows.
"Mr. Fan, little Xie Qingyuan."
