……

On September 19, Jiang Xun had confirmed the news that the Hulan people were loaded with supplies and carrying 1.5 million people from the Far East to the outside of the fortress, and the boulder that had been suspended in his heart for a long time finally fell, and he immediately began to gather hundreds of officials in the city to start preparing for the celebration.

"This time, we must let the people in the city know that my Yuanzhou Province has won an unprecedented victory this year! None of the people were taken captive and enslaved by Hu Nu and suffered, and I must tell the world that my Great Zhou is not weak, and there are still strong soldiers and fierce generals who dare to fight to the death with Hu Nu......"

Listening to Jiang Xun's talk, several subordinates in the house were also overjoyed, this time the blessing of the Jingwei camp, many people have a first-class waist, and their future is guaranteed, thinking about it is refreshing......

After a pause, he continued: "However, the most meritorious work this time should belong to Liu Ce and Captain Liu, and this government will definitely thank him on behalf of the people of Yuanzhou!" ”

The officials below nodded again and again when they heard this, praising Liu Ce's great achievements, anyway, even the governor said so, and there was no psychological burden for him to say something good and obedient.

Jiang Xun said with a smile: "We will set up a banquet in the mansion tonight, let us celebrate this great victory for Captain Liu, come here, immediately go to the Jingwei Camp to convene this meritorious person for a dinner!" ”

……

That night, Liu Ce, accompanied by Qin Mo and Ye Bin, went to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet, originally he didn't want to go, but the Jiang Mansion housekeeper sent was very difficult but said that he had to go to the mansion to get together, so he had no choice but to agree.

The celebration banquet was held in a warm atmosphere, and in order to show that he attached importance to Liu Ce, Jiang Xun deliberately let him sit at his main table and beside him, attracting countless envious and jealous eyes.

Liu Ce glanced at the banquet, except for Mu Tiancheng, the Wang family, the Song family, and the Bu family were all not in the banquet, and suddenly knew in his heart that this was deliberately arranged by Jiang Xun.

"Today's great joy, how can there be no singing and dancing to help the wine, come......"

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Xun in order to let everyone have fun, specially invited a dance music from the city to teach the music workshop, as Jiang Xun's voice just fell, all kinds of bells, drums and flute music and other utensils slowly sounded in the hall, and then more than ten dancers began to dance with the music in dance clothes that showed their figures.

Most of the people in the hall were born in the scholar clan, and their cultivation and restraint were excellent, and the posture of the dancing girls could be extremely calm, Jiang Xun nodded and looked at Liu Ce again, but saw that although he looked at the dancing girls in the hall, his eyes were extremely clear and there was no lust, he was just appreciating the dance, and he couldn't help but nod.

"This Liu Ce is really of good character, this state of mind is far better than that of ordinary scholars, how did he do it at such an age."

Jiang Xun had already begun to wonder about Liu Ce's background, in fact, after he learned that Liu Ce was an orphan, he even wondered if it was a descendant of a declining Shigui family......

After the song was played, the dance music retreated, and then the second dance began, which was more peaceful than before, which made Liu Ce's heart calm a lot......

"Liu Ce......"

At this moment, Jiang Xun called softly, and Liu Ce turned around and replied lightly: "What do you command?"

Jiang Xun said: "I heard that you have never started a family, why is this? With your conditions, you shouldn't have to worry about finding a wife......"

Liu Ce smiled and said: "My lord, my subordinates in the past have made an oath to destroy the Hu slaves who committed crimes against my Central Plains, otherwise they will not be able to become a family." ”

Jiang Xun was stunned when he heard this, and then said softly to Liu Ce: "Speaking of the oath, this mansion has to thank you for the little girl......

Liu Ce said: "My lord, my subordinates have already said before, there is no emotional basis between Xia and Miss Jiang, and they don't understand each other, even if there is no distinction between the scholars, they are too cruel to both sides if they are rashly combined, and it is too cruel to both sides, instead of being tortured like this, it is better for me Liu Ce to bear everything, why not have a gentleman and a man have a little more burden, and you can whip yourself without slacking off......"

After listening to this, Jiang Xun felt more and more that this Liu Ce was unfathomable, is this really the bearing and mind that a common person should have? And how did those avant-garde ideas come about? He's not even twenty!

The status of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been very low, and they may be able to act willfully and recklessly before marriage, but once they are allowed to get married, then everything must be respected by men, no matter how pampered and spoiled by their parents before marriage, they must obey their men after marriage, otherwise it is common to be scolded and beaten regardless of Shishu.

However, Liu Ce is not a person from this world in the depths of his soul, and the world he is in accepts the idea that men and women are equal and respect each other. Therefore, when he lent the soldiers in the battalion to study and learn to read and write under his rule, he slowly subconsciously changed the ideological concept of male superiority and inferiority of women, not asking too much, just loving and blind date for his own women, which even Liu Ce couldn't believe that he had done very successfully, and the lives of the female dependents who married the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion were basically very sweet......

"Old ......" Jiang Xun shook his head and laughed, "In the future, this era will be your young people......

Liu Ce said: "The adult is only fifty years old, and his body is also extremely strong, how can he say 'old'?"

Jiang Xun said with a smile: "Liu Ce, if you have such an idea, if any girl can marry you in the future, she will definitely be happy as you say!" ”

Liu Ce heard this and said: "My lord, don't make fun of your subordinates, your subordinates are now thinking about military affairs, and they won't think about these things." ”

Jiang Xun nodded, stopped speaking, and watched the dance music in the hall with Liu Ce and the others, but began to think in his heart: "This Liu Ce talks about his mind, is it really a person who can be shown from the Wushu clan?" Since he said that he has lived in a temple on the outskirts of Suzhou since he was a child, it is just right, I will definitely send someone to find out his life experience, if it is really a scholar, it will be great......"

After the banquet, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and after Liu Ce, Qin Mo and Ye Bin said goodbye to Jiang Xun, they slowly walked towards the outside of the Governor's Mansion, and at this moment, a soft voice stopped Liu Ce's steps.

"General Liu, please stay."

The three of them turned around together, but saw Jiang Ruoyan, who was dressed in white, slowly walking towards Liu Ce accompanied by the maid......

Ye Bin and Qin Mo glanced at each other, and Qi Qi said goodbye to Liu Ce and took the first step.

Liu Ce exhaled and said to Jiang Ruoyan, "Miss Jiang, is there anything you need to serve?" ”

Jiang Ruoyan stopped at Liu Ce and me, her beautiful eyes kept looking at him, and then said: "General Liu, do you still know what Ruoyan said a few days ago that you would like to treat you as a gentleman and become a confidant and friend?" ”

Liu Ce thought about it and nodded: "I naturally remember it in the next place." ”

Jiang Ruoyan then took out a delicate folding fan with a green pendant from his body, and said to Liu Ce: "According to the etiquette of a gentleman, it is reasonable to exchange tokens as evidence, Ruoyan is willing to use this folding fan as a letter to deliver it to General Liu." ”

"This ......" Liu Ce was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, it's nothing to make Jiang Ruoyan a confidant and friend, but now there is no token on his body to exchange, what should he do.

Jiang Ruoyan seemed to see what Liu Ce was embarrassed about, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, Ruoyan knows that you don't have a token on you now, and if you have the opportunity in the future, it's not too late to come to Heyang Tower to make up for it, but you have to wait for next year......

At this point, Jiang Ruoyan's expression darkened, and when she saw Liu Ce looking at her strangely, she explained: "In a few days, Ruoyan will return to Suzhou......

Liu Ce thought for a while, took the folding fan handed by Jiang Ruoyan with both hands, and then said: "Miss Jiang, I have accepted this fan, and on the day you return to Yuanzhou, I will definitely send the token to you." ”

Jiang Ruoyan nodded, and then said: "Then Ruoyan is waiting for General Liu's token, it's not early, I won't keep you more, please take care." With that, she turned to leave.

"Miss Jiang......" At this moment, Liu Ce's voice sounded behind her, making Jiang Ruoyan a little stunned, since he met Liu Ce, he took the initiative to call himself for the first time, and slowly turned his head to look at Liu Ce.

I saw Liu Ce holding a folding fan in his hand and patting it back and forth in his palm, slowly took a few steps forward, his lips were closed, and he saluted Jiang Ruoyan after thinking for a moment: "Miss Jiang, I was offended that day, and I hope you don't go to your heart." ”

Jiang Ruoyan smiled: "The general is no longer worried, Ruoyan has never taken it to heart." ”

Liu Ce thought for a while, and said firmly: "Miss Jiang, I have already accepted your oath in the next place, and now I am a friend and confidant, if Liu Ce tells you now, when you return to Yuanzhou next year, there will be no more Hulu going south from all over the Far East, and you will see the scene of the people busy farming, you ...... Can you believe it? ”

Jiang Ruoyan was shocked when she heard this, and when she saw Liu Ce's eyes with an unprecedented confidence in her eyes, she nodded with a light jaw.

"I believe it!"

In front of the Governor's Mansion, Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan made a solemn gentleman's salute at the same time, and after getting up, they looked at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces, without any pretentiousness......

Seeing Liu Ce's departure, Jiang Ruoyan frowned and muttered: "Liu Ce, I am really lucky to know you Ruoyan for three lives, but why did I feel as if I had known you a long time ago when I met you in Heyang Tower, but now I can't remember anything, I must have seen you somewhere......"

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky above the city, and then countless fireworks began to bloom, which was very gorgeous, shining the night sky of the entire Yuanzhou City.

Jiang Ruoyan's thoughts were pulled back by the fireworks, and she stared at the air in a daze: "It's so beautiful...... Liu Ce, thank you for letting Ruoyan see this moment of miracle happening, thank you really ......"

……

Liu Ce led his horse alone on a noisy street corner, slowly walking out of the city, looking at the fireworks in the air and the cheering crowd, he knew that everything he and the Jingwei Battalion had done was worth it.

"Jingwei has passed, and the troubled times are auspicious!" Liu Ce looked at everything in front of him and said to himself, "Isn't all this in front of me what I am pursuing?" Rest assured, I, Liu Ce, will continue to walk for this peaceful and prosperous future, no matter how difficult the road in the future is, as long as I have not fallen, I will not let this prosperous scene be extinguished! ”

After thinking about it, Liu Ce patted the war horse next to him, jumped and rode away, and gradually disappeared into the lively street......

In the early morning of September 20, the Jingwei battalion began to march back in the direction of Hanling, accompanied by 500,000 people and a large amount of supplies.

Liu Ce glanced in the direction of Wushan Town and sneered: "Next year, you don't want to step into Yuanzhou again, Hu Nu, are you ready to meet the anger from my Jingwei Battalion......"

Xu Wenjing beside him also had cold eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "Jizhou is the stepping stone for me Xu Wenjing to show his talent, general, whether you can quickly take Jizhou depends on how much trust and support you have for Wenjing!" ”
