No dishes, three bowls of wine per person. Three bowls!

"That's it for now." Li Duozuo put the wine bowl on the table, wiped his mouth, and hugged Xue Shao's fist, "A few of our brothers, go out and finish the work that needs to be done first." Come back and drink with the young marshal! ”

"Yes." Cui Hejian, Lu Siyi and others joined one after another, "Guo Yuanzhen and Duan Feng are fighting hard outside, we have to help out." ”

"Okay." Xue Shao didn't say much, he hugged his fists and bowed, "There are brothers!" ”

The generals stood solemnly, clasped their fists and bowed, and turned to leave.

"Cheng Boxian, you don't have to go." Xue Shao stopped him.

Li Duozuo hurriedly continued: "Yes, Cheng Boxian, you have to stay." ”

"Why?" Cheng Boxian shouted loudly, "Just because I'm not a veteran general of the Shuofang Army, you don't treat me as a brother, do you?" ”

"Shang Xian (Cheng Boxian's cousin), don't say such sad words, we are all good brothers." Li Duozuo said softly, "Don't forget, your mission on this trip is different from ours. There's more important things to do than you stay here, don't you? ”

Cheng Boxian, who was preparing to do a big job on the "......", was stunned and speechless.

Li Duozuo smiled, patted Cheng Boxian's shoulder, and strode away with the others.

Cheng Boxian watched Li Duozuo and his party go away, and almost wrote the word "jealousy" on his face.

"Sangxian, angry?" Xue Shao walked up to him and said with a smile.

"Hey! ......" Cheng Boxian sighed a little helplessly, sat down on the soft couch, and said with a very depressed look: "It's not okay to be angry." It's just that...... I'm a little annoyed! ”

"Where does the annoyance come from?" Xue Shao asked.

Cheng Boxian smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "I remember when I was still in Zuo Fengchenwei and Jiangwutang, I was the same as Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen, and I mixed with the young marshal every day, and we were all good brothers who ate in the same pot without distinguishing each other. But then slowly, everyone went their separate ways. You went to Shuofang together, and swore a robe for the battle side by side. What about me? It's like a captured beast, always trapped in that dark palace, as a watchdog. ”

"Shangxian, why do you say it so ugly?" Xue Shao sat down beside him and said with a smile, "You are now the general of Qianniuwei, and you have a bright future." ”

"Fuck the future is limitless!" Cheng Boxian couldn't laugh and punched on the table in annoyance, "Don't you know how aggrieved it is to be an errand in the palace and work at the feet of the queen mother and the emperor?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and was noncommittal.

"Maybe you can't imagine how much I want to be like you and Xue Chuyu, who are recklessly rushing back and forth on the battlefield. Even if it's a horse leather shroud, it's better than being a watchdog in the palace! Cheng Boxian began to vomit bitterness and said, "The new General Qianniuwei, the confidant of the Queen Mother, others scare me everywhere I go, and even the prime minister doesn't dare to underestimate me." On the surface, it's really imposing and amazing, isn't it? But what about behind the scenes? -- Everyone thinks of me as a hawk dog minion who does evil, no different from the shepherd dog of the magistrate's house! ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently and gently patted Cheng Boxian's shoulder armor, "Then what about me being the son of the Queen Mother, what should I do?" ”

"Uh......" Cheng Boxian was stunned, feeling that he might have said the wrong thing.

Xue Shao smiled generously and said, "Shang Xian, I know that you treat me as a brother, so you said these words to me. I understand your struggle, really. ”

Cheng Boxian nodded, "I believe it." ”

Xue Shao said: "I'm not qualified to point you out anything, I can only tell you some of my own mental experience over the years." In fact, from the first day we were born, the children of aristocratic families and eunuchs like us were destined to have a lot of people staring at us and appreciating our words and deeds. Especially when we have a place in the court, people will look at us more critically, even harshly. At this time, we will feel that whatever we do is wrong, and no matter how cautious we are, we will be criticized. We can never get rid of these pressures, they are like shackles that will always be on our heads. It's like we're born with blood. ”

"Yes, you're so right!" Cheng Boxian patted his thigh, "I feel that I am in the capital, I am too tired to live, and everyone I see is like a grandson, for fear of offending people." If you are not careful, countless gossips will spread all over the sky. Don't you know, those old men, uncles, three uncles and six aunts in my family really run to my house at two ends in three days. That's fine, I've been used to it since I was a kid - the most unbearable thing for me is the friends I've made in the past. Since I became the general of the Thousand Cow Guard, they have avoided me like a plague...... Ay! ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Shang Xian, I have all the troubles you said, and they are all more serious than yours. ”

"And how did you deal with it?" Cheng Boxian's eyes widened, "Seriously, I admire your courage so much, you would actually carry the Queen Mother behind your back and run to Helong to do such a big thing!" …… I admire it so much! ”

"There's nothing to admire, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do." Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "People who understand me don't need my explanation, they will naturally understand." They will treat me as a friend, as a relative, as a brother in the robe. I do not care about their understanding and tolerance, nor do I care about their opinions and criticisms, and I will not shy away from their provocations and attacks. Boxian, we are not really golden, and we can't be loved by everyone. So, it's good that we keep our bottom line and do what we have to do. ”

"Keep the bottom line and do your part......" Cheng Boxian, who was five big and three rough, nodded thoughtfully, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" ”

"Alright, let's gossip." Xue Shao smiled, "Zuo Qianniuwei General Cheng Boxian, let's say, why are you here?" ”

"Be a guard for your future lady who hasn't passed the door!" Cheng Boxian raised his eyebrows and spread his hands with a smile, "This is really a great errand!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "What do you say?" ”

"Young marshal, have you ever seen a dog walking a bird, or a general?" Cheng Boxian was really addicted to spitting bitter water today, and he told Xue Shao all the experiences along the way as if pouring beans into the bamboo tube.

Xue Shao laughed from time to time when he listened, but after listening to it, he also felt a big head, "This is really not a worry-free master. I've got to get her back as soon as possible - Sang-hyun, you've got to help me with this! ”

"I can't help you unless she agrees to go back!" Cheng Boxian immediately stood up and said it categorically.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "No, you have to help me." ”

"How can I help? Could it be that I can still tie her back? Cheng Boxian was anxious, looking at that expression as if he was about to turn his face, "You little couple quarreled at the end of the bed, but asked me to be a wicked person in the middle?" - I don't do it! ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, and scratched his head after laughing, "I can cure thousands of troops and horses, but I can't take her!" - Sang-hyun, do you think I'm dead? ”

Cheng Boxian blinked, "How can you take her lightly?" - The husband is the wife of heaven and the earth, and if you speak, she will listen! ”

"You have the ability, you can tell her this truth as well?" Xue Shao squinted at him and sneered, "If she listens to you, I will be your grandson!" ”

Cheng Boxian was stunned for a moment, "Forget it, I'd rather chase Li Duozuo's cold ass now and run to the battlefield to die!" ”

Xue Shao was worried, and sat for a long time without saying a word.

Cheng Boxian was a little excited, and leaned over to Xue Shao's side and whispered: "She is leading people to help the wounded in the medical shed, and she is so busy that she is covered in blood. If you want me to say, you should go and see her. ”

Xue Shao's eyes were straight, and he looked a little lacking in confidence, "When I think about how to deal with her, I'll go to see her." ”

"Deal with?" Cheng Boxian made a shocking gesture, "Are you two husband and wife, or enemies?" ”

"Neither!" Xue Shao gritted his teeth with hatred, "It's an injustice!" ”

At this time, Helan Mountain.

He was almost lying on his horse's back, staggering and jolting. Growing up on horseback, he never felt that riding a horse was such a tiring thing. Now, he wanted to slaughter the damn horse, but he also hoped that it could run faster and reach Lingzhou as soon as possible.

However, it is already very good to let a horse that has run for three days and three nights and basically not rest, and walk on the rugged mountain road of Helan Mountain with a person, and it does not break its hooves and fall down, where can you expect it more?

"Water...... Bring the water! His throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and he muttered loudly.

"Ye Hu, there's no water." The squire replied.

"Go find it!" "With so many people, can't you find a mouthful of water?" ”

"Ye Hu ......," the attendant said cautiously, "There are too many people who have died on this mountain road, some have been buried, some have been burned, and some have never been collected by anyone. Don't drink all the water, or you'll get the plague!" ”

He suddenly woke up and sat up straight, looked around for a while, and said, "This is the mountain road where we ambushed Shuofang's army?" ”

"Yes." The attendant replied, "The leader of Yi Li Si killed thousands of Tang troops here. We've got a big win! ”

Hearing this, instead of feeling the slightest pride, he shuddered a little. He slapped the horse vigorously, "Go, go faster!" Get out of this place and go to Lingzhou early! ”

"You can't go anywhere!!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar in the air, and then countless figures appeared on the cliff. They waved the flag of the Tang Army and roared loudly, they pulled their bowstrings, and their bodies were soaked with a murderous aura that was almost visible to the inner eye. And just on the opposite side of the road, a man as majestic as an iron tower rode an unusually tall oily black horse, carrying a huge mace that was intimidating in length, blocking the middle of the intersection.

Behind him, a group of people slowly dispersed. Each of them carried a peculiar half-moon scimitar in his hand, wearing black armor, a black cloak, and a black scarf to cover his face.

"Niu Ben! …… Tuo Cavalry! Du Xilu recognized them at first sight, because he heard a lot of similar news from the mouth of the "spy" Guo Yuanzhen.

"Ajetir!" Niu Ben said in a deep voice, "What did my mother-in-law say before every war with you?" ”

Alitir rode forward and said in Sogdian: "Chief, what she said is that the heroic soul is above. ”

"The Heroic Soul is on top!" Niu Ben roared out Chinese, he calmly raised a huge mace and pointed at the group of people, and roared angrily: "My brothers in robes, Niu Ben, I will avenge you now!" ”.
