Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Last Man
Wei Xiao paused for a moment after speaking, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "Look at the small one's mouth, there is no one who guards the door, as soon as he is happy, he will talk nonsense, my father and mother gave us this name, in fact, I want the little one to be a down-to-earth person, but it's a pity that this army is in chaos, and I have to leave my father and mother out to eat in the army.

As he spoke, this Wei Xiao actually began to wipe away his tears again.
Liu He, who didn't say a word, was a little secretly surprised, in fact, what Wei Xiao said earlier was obviously a bit excessive, especially when he said that Liu He was even more important than his father, Liu He's face showed a trace of disgust that was not easy to be detected.
But this disgust was only fleeting, but such a subtle change was noticed by Wei Xiao, and he instantly saw Liu He's mind and changed his words in time.
With such delicate thoughts and careful observations, it seems that this person is not an ordinary flatterer.
Although such people are despised, they are very useful in political struggles. Sometimes it is really necessary to talk to people and talk nonsense in order to achieve the goal, and this kind of thing is often impossible for generals who lead troops on the battlefield, which is why many generals with outstanding military achievements have died in officialdom throughout the ages.
And people like Wei Xiao, who are good at seeing the wind and steering, and know how to read words and colors, are the most suitable lobbyists, and even politicians.
Liu He himself is not a person who follows the rules, and when employing people, talents from all walks of life are needed at this time, and the appearance of Wei Xiao is a good supplement.
Liu He didn't respond to Wei Xiao's words, but just said "Look" like everyone else, and then there was no follow-up.
Wei Xiao also seemed to be fine, thanked Liu He, and sat down with a smile on his face.
The subtlety of the back and forth between the two is only known to the two of them, and others have not seen any clues, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Wei Xiao just wanted to please Liu He but was ignored by Liu He.
From Wei Xiao's expression, Liu He could clearly see that Wei Xiao once again guessed his thoughts, so he could have such a relaxed demeanor.
Liu He smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. He looked up at the sky, and the hour was getting late, but there was still one person on the list who had not yet appeared.
After waiting for another hour, there was still no one, Liu He was a little worried, it seemed that in the end, this person was more than lucky.
An old soldier stepped forward and said cautiously: "Mr. Liu, it's not too early, I think Li Qin is afraid ......."
Li Qin in the mouth of this old pawn is the last person on this list.
Liu He was silent with the list for a long time after the old soldier's reminder, and it was not until half a pillar of incense that he summoned the cavalry under Zhang Fei and ordered him to gather other cavalry and look for Li Qin along the way.
"I haven't come back at this time, so I don't think it's useful to send someone to find it." The old pawn reminded again.
Liu He was still leaning on the pillar of the camp gate, looking at the avenue outside the camp gate.
"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. Even if he really dies, our brothers in the army can't just die outside in such an unknown way. ”
When the old man heard this, as if someone had touched his heart, he suddenly turned his head to the side, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and kept muttering: "This wind and sand with a thousand knives will lose Lao Tzu's eyes at this time of every month." ”
The other soldiers also had sentimental faces, they had been fighting for many years, and how many times they had seen their brothers in the same camp in the wilderness but they couldn't do anything, and each of them was afraid that they would have that day.
Everyone stood silently, and no one turned to leave.
Liu He glanced back, and the soldiers who were dancing with their eyebrows just now all lowered their heads at this time, with a sad expression.
Liu He suddenly said loudly: "How about I make a bet with you?" ”
The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Mr. Liu was selling in this gourd.
"I bet that Li Qin will come back alive and pass this test. If I lose, I'll stand at the gate of this barracks for three days and three nights, without eating or sleeping, how about that? ”
Some delicate-minded soldiers immediately understood Liu He's good intentions, hurriedly put away their sad faces, and took the lead in responding: "Naturally, we don't want Mr. Liu to lose, but you have to tell us first, if you win, what do you want us to do?" ”
"Actually, it's very simple, when Li Qin comes back, I just want you to treat him like your own brother."
The camp was silent for a moment, and Liu He turned his head with a smile and looked at the avenue outside the camp. Although no one spoke up, Liu He knew that these soldiers had already agreed.
Half an hour later, a burst of dust suddenly rose in the distance, and it turned out to be the horseman under Zhang Fei who urged the horse back again.
As soon as he arrived at the camp gate, he didn't have time to get off the horse, so he hurriedly reported: "Mr. Liu, Li Qin is back, just five miles away, but I said it badly, he refused to ride back, saying that you didn't give them horses, if he rode back, it would be a broken rule, so I had to report first." ”
Liu He turned his head and saw that the soldiers were excited one by one, and some of them had red eyes.
Liu He walked up to one of the young soldiers who was already full of tears, stretched out his hand to help him wipe his tears, and then took his hand and walked towards the gate of the camp.
"What are you waiting for? Our brother won't come back on horseback, so why don't we get him back to me together. ”
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rushed up, poured out of the gate of the barracks, and rushed in the direction where Li Qin had returned.
The people passing by stopped to watch, I don't know what happened to these garrisons who have been in Xiangyang City for many days and have not made any movement today, they actually poured out of the nest, is it going to war?
But these soldiers didn't even have weapons in their hands, and some of them saw the local descendants they knew in the team at a glance, and hurriedly asked them what they were going to do. The latter only said one word, went to pick up his own brother back to the camp, and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
At this time, those people were even more confused, and pondered for a long time, this later life is indeed a brother who is in the army together, but he died in battle a year ago, could it be that this later life is crazy? But it can't be that all the soldiers in this barracks are crazy together.
The young soldier who was pulled by Liu He cautiously followed behind Liu He, wanting to speak and stopping.
Liu He saw it in his eyes and asked with a smile, "What?" Do you want to go too? ”
The young soldier nodded, his face full of anticipation.
Liu He let go of his hand and said softly: "Why don't we compare and see who arrives first." ”
