Chapter 45: Reunion
Coming out of Emperor Liang, Zhu Yi and Chen Qingzhi walked slowly side by side. Zhu Yi sighed and said to Chen Qingzhi, "Ziyun, how could you be so careless and let King Yuzhang take advantage of such a big loophole?" ”
"When this kind of thing happens, don't say that people who are not good at scheming like this, even if you are in Xuzhou with Brother Yan, I am afraid that you can't prevent it."
"I really never expected that King Yuzhang would do such a rebellious thing, which not only caused my Liang to lose Xuzhou, but also made you suffer an injustice."
"It's a trivial matter to be punished in Xia, but Xuzhou fell into the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty so inexplicably, which really makes Zai Xia feel heartbroken."
"Brother Xian has really worked hard this time, just according to Your Majesty's wishes, go back to Yixing to cultivate for a while, and then the foolish brother will send someone to send some wine and food to your camp, so that the brothers can eat and drink well, and there will always be a chance to make a comeback."
After hearing what Zhu Yi said, Chen Qingzhi looked at Zhu Yi meaningfully, and then slowly thanked him, "Brother Yan and Brother are so attentive, I have thanked you here first." ”
After leaving Taicheng, Chen Qingzhi said goodbye to Zhu Yi and was about to leave the city and go to the place where he was stationed.
At this time, around the station, many people who heard the news and came to see the excitement gathered here, talking about each other, and all kinds of gossip began to sprout and spread rapidly.
Chen Sibao found more than a dozen doctors from Jiankang City to treat the injured soldiers; At the same time, a large number of steamed buns were purchased in the city and brought with tea to quench the thirst and hunger of the brothers.
Yanran also came here at this time. She anxiously shouted the names of Xu Jin and Hui Ze, looking for the two of them in the crowd.
After searching for a while, but she didn't find any of the two, Yanran was so anxious that she wiped her tears, and her shouting voice became more and more anxious, and she even stomped her feet and cursed, "Where did you two die......
Just when Yanran was in tears and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, "Yanran ......"
Yan Ran turned her head suddenly, and standing in front of her was Xu Jin, who was holding two steamed buns in one hand and a bowl of hot tea in the other.
Xu Jin was unkempt and dirty all over his body, but his spirit seemed to be good, and he didn't seem to be injured. He was looking at Yan Ran in a daze, his mouth was still stuffed with steamed buns, chewing bulgingly, obviously he didn't expect Yan Ran to appear here.
The moment she saw Xu Jin, Yanran's emotions were completely released - she suddenly stepped forward, ignoring that there were so many people around her, and she didn't care about the reserve of her own ladies, and hugged Xu Jin!
Yan Ran hugged so forcefully and so resolutely, which Xu Jin didn't expect, he was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. "Yanran, we're back......" he said in a soft voice in Yanran's ear.
Yan Ran didn't speak, just hugged Xu Jin tightly, as if she wanted to make sure if the person in front of her was real, for fear that as soon as she let go, she would be blown away like a gust of wind......
After hugging like this for a while, Yan Ran finally let go of her hand, took a step back, breathed a sigh of relief gently, and then looked at Xu Jin and said softly, "I heard that your troops were back, and I heard that the battle was lost, so I hurriedly ran over." I've been looking for a while, but I can't find you and Hui Ze, but I am scared to death......"
"We'll be fine," Xu Jin comforted Yan Ran, "With the armor you gave us, we're really invulnerable." ”
"What about Hui Ze? Why don't you see him. ”
"Oh, he's helping to distribute steamed buns and tea over there, I'll take you to see him."
Yan Ran followed Xu Jin and walked in the direction where Xu Jin had come before, and saw many soldiers lining up, waiting to receive food and tea.
At the end of the line, there were several large baskets on the tables, which were full of steamed buns, and there were several empty baskets on the ground, which seemed to have been sent out a lot. Next to the basket filled with steamed buns, several large urns were full of boiled tea, exuding a faint bitter tea fragrance.
Hui Ze took a few soldiers and was distributing them to the soldiers. Xu Jin walked forward with Yan Ran, "Hui Ze." Xu Jin called softly.
Hui Ze was holding a large wooden spoon, and was burying his head in scooping tea into a row of empty bowls in front of him, when he heard Xu Jin's voice, he didn't look up, but just replied, "Jin, didn't you already receive it just now?" ”
"Hui Ze." Yan Ran stepped forward and called out to Hui Ze softly.
Hui Ze raised his head in surprise, "Miss, why are you here?" As he spoke, he handed the wooden spoon in his hand to a soldier beside him, wiped his hands on his sleeve, and walked out from behind the case.
"You didn't come back to me, so I had to come to you." Yanran said with a smile.
"We want to go back to see you right away!" Hui Ze hurriedly explained, "It's just that you see that there are so many chores in the camp, and you really can't get out of it." ”
"I know, I've probably heard about you." Yanran said, "No matter what, I am relieved that both of you are back alive." ”
"As I said, with the armor you gave us, we are invulnerable." Xu Jin said with a grin.
"So what are you going to do next?" Yanran asked.
"I don't know, Brother Chen hasn't come back yet, and I won't know what to do next when he comes back." Xu Jin replied.
"But now it looks like we'll have to camp here at least tonight." Hui Ze said.
"In that case, let's go home and have a meal in the evening."
"Okay!" Xu Jin said happily, "Why don't you call Brother Chen and them!" ”
"Everyone has worked hard, call Brother Chen, Brother Song, and Brother Yu to come together, and I will take care of the wind and dust for everyone."
"Okay, I'll let you know when Brother Chen comes back." Xu Jin said happily.
"Then I'll go back and prepare first, and come back early when you're done here."
Not long after Yanran left, Chen Qingzhi came back.
Gathered everyone together and sat in a circle on the spot, Chen Qingzhi said His Majesty's disposition.
"It's better to go back to Yixing to cultivate first, we have lost a lot of brothers this time, and we also need to replenish the soldiers." Yu Tianshu patted his knees and said lightly.
"Lao Yu is right, let's accumulate strength first and wait for the next day to fight again." Song Jingxiu also agreed.
"I know you're trying to comfort me." Chen Qingzhi sighed, "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, I can still afford this little setback." Let's go back to Yixing first, everyone hold on tonight, sleep here for the night, and we will leave tomorrow. ”
"By the way, Brother Chen, Yanran came here just now, and invited everyone to have a meal at home and wash the dust for us." Xu Jin said to Chen Qingzhi.
"Miss Yang is really a caring person!" Chen Qingzhi sighed, "Although we are warmly invited, but the soldiers are eating and sleeping here, as a general of the first army, how can I leave them to go to the banquet......
"Brother Chen is reasonable, if that's the case, then we won't go." Xu Jin said.
"Never!" Chen Qingzhi hurriedly said to Xu Jin, "We can't go, but you and Hui Ze should go back anyway, after all, your relationship with Miss Yang's family is extraordinary, you go back and have a meal with her." ”
"All right, let's go and pacify the brethren and disperse." Chen Qingzhi waved his hand.
Everyone dispersed silently, only Ma Funian was still in place.
Chen Qingzhi glanced at him, "Wencai, is there anything else?" ”
"General Chen, I want to go into the city and meet Mr. ......"
"Well, it's time to meet," Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly, "Go ahead." ”
Ma Funian saluted Chen Qingzhi and said goodbye, and then went to Jiankang City.
When he came to Zhu Yi's mansion, Ma Funian reported to the servant in front of the door, "Student Ma Fonian, ask to see Mr., and hope to say goodbye." ”
Soon, the Mafron was allowed to enter the palace. Walking through the courtyard walls, I heard the faint sound of silk feet in the distance.
In an exquisite pavilion, Zhu Yi sat inside, with all kinds of fruits and delicacies in front of him, drinking wine while watching the graceful dance of the dancing girl.
Obviously, Zhu Yi was in a very good mood, and when he saw Ma Funian coming, he waved his hand and beckoned him over, "Wencai, come over and drink with the teacher!" ”
Ma Funian stepped forward to salute, Zhu Yi laughed, and asked him to sit on the side.
"Wencai, you have made a great contribution this time!" Zhu Yi happily praised Ma Funian, "The teacher really didn't misunderstand you, you are the arm of the teacher!" ”
“…… Mr. passed the award, and the student ...... "Ma Buddha looked like he wanted to speak and stopped."
Zhu Yi saw it in his eyes, put down the wine cup in his hand, and said to Ma Fannian, "Wencai, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it to the teacher!" ”
"Sir, the student thinks that even if Chen Qingzhi is suppressed, is this price too great?"
The smile on Zhu Yi's face disappeared, and he looked at Ma Funian in surprise, "Wencai, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Xuzhou is an important place for soldiers, and my Liang was lucky to get it, which should be extremely precious, but in order to suppress Chen Qingzhi, he gave it to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the students really don't understand, which is more important......
"The one who ceded Xuzhou to the Northern Wei Dynasty was Xiao Zong, the king of Yuzhang." Zhu Yi said in a low voice, obviously starting to feel a little unhappy in his heart.
"Isn't it Mr. who can recommend King Yuzhang? And after the students discovered the conspiracy of King Yuzhang, Mr. not only did not stop it, but asked the students to secretly help King Yuzhang......"
"Presumptuous!" Before Ma Fanian's words were finished, Zhu Yi was already furious, he grabbed his wine cup and threw it at Ma Buddha, which happened to smash on the eyebrow bone, and was immediately burst open a small opening, and a stream of blood rolled down the corner of his eye.
"Are these things you should have said? Are you questioning being a teacher? Zhu Yi got up and stepped in front of Ma Funian in a few steps, "Do you know that this kind of talk will cause death!" ”
"The student lost his words, and I hope that Mr. will forgive him." Ma Funian ignored the blood on the corner of his eyebrows, and did not wipe it, "Mr. has the grace of knowing the student, and even if the student has doubts, he will never dare to disobey the meaning of Mr. Now, the students are nothing more than hope, Mr. can solve the doubts for the students, isn't Xuzhou important? What is really important in the mind of the gentleman? ”
"Okay, since you asked, the teacher will put his heart to you today."
"Please sir."
"Do you know that for most of my life as a teacher, I have always been on the edge of the abyss, walking on thin ice. I often wonder if I will live to the end of my life......"
