Chapter 48: The Golden House
Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge.
Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.
Only this battle has deeply understood the meaning of this poem.
I led Wang Long, Ben Niu, Dog Baby, and more than 1,000 soldiers who survived from the battlefield to walk on the official road to the north.
Trek all the way, travel a hundred and ten miles, and almost reach Yuezhou City.
At this time, it was late at night, although it was a bright moon, it was like daytime. However, after a day of hard fighting, coupled with the trek all the way, the soldiers were already exhausted, so we set up camp outside Yuezhou City and rested for one night.
Me: Brother Long, I really didn't expect that the Jianghu Column, which had just been established for less than three days, would be disbanded, and this time it was so miserable!
Wang Long: Brother Jiang, in fact, it is not, although we have suffered heavy casualties; However, the casualties of a bowl of porridge were even more severe. This time, the first confrontation with the One Bowl Porridge Sect can only be said to be a draw between the two sides, and when we regroup and reorganize the Jianghu Column, we will definitely be able to completely wipe out the One Bowl Porridge Sect.
Stupid Cow: Yes! Big brother, when the Hungry Wolf Commando was established, didn't you tell us that self-confidence on the battlefield is the most important thing, no matter when, you have to believe in yourself, have you forgotten it, big brother?
Gouwa: Yes, big brother, we all remember what you said, you can't forget it yourself!
As soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and I thought to myself: [a] [book] [read] the novel ybdu: yes! Where is my self-confidence? The war has just begun, and I must have firm belief and believe in myself that I will be able to completely exterminate the Bowl of Porridge Sect.
Me: Thanks to my brothers for their encouragement, how could I not have faith in myself? When we go back to Chang'an this time, we must plan carefully and come up with a foolproof strategy to exterminate a bowl of porridge in one fell swoop.
Wang Long: What Brother Jiang said is extremely true, but the problem is that the actions of the One Bowl of Porridge Sect are really secretive, you see, if the Zhongtu Hall hadn't taught its own people to lead the way, how could we find it?
Me: That's a big problem. A bowl of porridge is too deeply hidden, we can only passively wait for them to appear, and it is difficult to find them actively.
I thought for a moment, and then said: The only way is to make friends and spread eyeliner. In this way, we can grasp the information of a bowl of porridge.
Wang Long: Brother Jiang, in a word, we just want to make more friends in the rivers and lakes, so that we can get the information of a bowl of porridge in time.
Me: So, after this Chang'an face saint, we will continue to travel the rivers and lakes, make friends in the rivers and lakes, and lay a good foundation for the establishment of the new Jianghu column; At the same time, he also actively collected information about the Bowl of Porridge Sect, so that the Bowl of Porridge Sect could be eliminated in one fell swoop.
Wang Long: What Brother Jiang said is very true.
We talked for a long time that night, and when everyone felt very sleepy, we started to rest.
At this moment, I looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly missed my relatives in my hometown, including modern and Datang.
Early the next morning, the army continued to march.
The army was trekking throughout the day, passing through the city of Yuezhou and reaching the outside of Wuchang in the middle of the night.
The army set up camp outside the city of Wuchang and rested for the night.
Early the next morning, the army continued to march.
By noon, the army rushed to the Lianhuashan military camp in Jingzhou City.
This journey has been peaceful. Along the way, there were no clues about the Bowl of Porridge Sect, and the entire Bowl of Porridge Sect seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. However, this is also what I expected, the Middle Earth Hall of the Bowl of Porridge Sect has been destroyed, then, only the North Fire Hall in Songyang is the closest to us, and now they are busy recovering their vitality, where will they show up.
I stood outside the barracks with the army, and the soldiers standing guard had already gone in to inform Zhang Weiyuan.
After a while, Zhang Weiyuan walked out of the barracks.
I hurriedly stepped forward, bowed my hand, and said: Jiang is ashamed of General Zhang, and only more than 1,000 soldiers came back after 5,000 soldiers went out.
Zhang Weiyuan: General Jiang doesn't have to blame himself too much, how can there be a reason for immortality in a war, go, enter the account.
Me: Thank you, General Zhang.
We followed Zhang Weiyuan into the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhao Shengzi walked to the camp with the soldiers.
Zhang Weiyuan: General Jiang hasn't eaten lunch yet, so Zhang immediately asked someone to prepare.
After that, he said to the guard next to him: Bring good wine and good food.
After the guard gave a salute, he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army.
I saluted Zhang Weiyuan and said, "Thank you, General Zhang, for your love."
After a while, the wine and food were served, one roast chicken, one bottle of wine, and one wine glass.
I smelled the smell of roast chicken, and my stomach immediately began to drum, and I thought: I have been on the road for the past few days, and I have not eaten a single hot meal, and this war is really not good!
I poured a glass of wine, raised my glass, and said: Thank you General Zhang for your love, although Jiang failed to completely exterminate a bowl of porridge this time, he also gained a little, and when he returned to Chang'an this time, he must ask the emperor for the soldiers of Jingzhou City.
When Zhang Weiyuan heard this, he immediately laughed and said: It is natural to be a soldier and fight. Of course, it is also appropriate to be rewarded for achieving results, so Zhang thanked General Jiang first, came, and drank this cup.
I drank the glass, put it down, grabbed a chicken leg and put it in my mouth. This roast chicken is fragrant and refreshing, and it is really delicious.
I swallowed one chicken leg after dividing it by two, but I was still unsatisfied, grabbed the second chicken leg and nibbled on it.
I glanced up at Wang Lung, Benniu, and Dog Baby, all of whom were also munching on chicken legs, apparently enjoying their meals.
When Zhang Weiyuan saw our eating appearance, he laughed out of his mouth and said, "General Jiang, this war is not easy, right?"
Me: General Zhang, it wasn't until I sat here eating chicken legs that I really understood that the days of war were really not people's lives, and it was better to be peaceful and prosperous.
Zhang Weiyuan laughed again and said: General Jiang is right! Come on, let's get on with the drink.
Me: General Zhang, Jiang will give you another drink.
We munched on meat, drank a lot, and ate a meal for more than an hour.
Me: Thank you General Zhang for your hospitality today, it's not too early, and Jiang also wants to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible. So, I'm going to say goodbye today.
Zhang Weiyuan: Since General Jiang is in such a hurry to return to Chang'an, it is inconvenient for Zhang to stay, so please take care of General Jiang all the way.
Me: Jiang has the opportunity to come to thank General Zhang.
Zhang Weiyuan: General Jiang, you're welcome, I see that you don't have any horses, so go to the stable and pick a horse for each person.
Me: Thank you so much General Zhang.
Zhang Weiyuan: You are officials in the same dynasty, so you don't need to be so polite.
Me: Jiang said goodbye.
Zhang Weiyuan: Take care all the way.
We saluted Zhang Weiyuan, and then walked to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The soldiers outside led us to the stables.
One of us picked a horse, walked out of the Lotus Mountain barracks, and headed directly for Chang'an.
With the mount, the speed was obviously much faster, and the road passed through Xiangzhou, and arrived at Nanyang City in the evening.
We rested in Nanyang City for one night, and continued our journey the next day, arriving at Xuchang City at noon.
Me: Brothers, when you arrive in Xuchang, you must be extra careful, this place is too close to the North Fire Hall of the Bowl of Porridge Sect, we must prevent them from sneaking up on us.
Wang Long: Brother Jiang's words are very reasonable, everyone should be low-key, and there should be no big problem.
Me: Brother Long's words are good, let's keep a low profile. Now go to the Spring and Autumn Building for dinner, and the eldest brother will go to meet someone by the way.
When Wang Long, Stupid Cow, and Dog Baby heard this, their faces burst into laughter.
Wang Long: General Jiang, this is to see the general's wife! Our General Jiang is fighting! But it's still so dashing, it's really unprecedented, and there's no one since.
Me: Brothers, you don't understand this, this is called the hero sad beauty pass, I, Jiang Dazhi, love the country but love the beauty more.
Wang Long, Stupid Cow, and Dog Baby smiled forward and backwards.
Stupid Cow: Big brother, you see you have several wives, can you introduce one to the brothers?
Dog: Yes! Big brother, you can't ignore your brother!
Me: Is this, Brother Long has a goal, and when you return to Chang'an, the eldest brother will help you find a daughter-in-law and let each of you marry a daughter-in-law.
The smile on the faces of the stupid cow and the dog baby blossomed, and it was definitely that kind of happy joy.
Me: You say, how about I buy a house in Xuchang?
Wang Long: Brother Jiang, this is to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house! Wang agreed.
The stupid cow and the dog baby also nodded frequently.
Me: Okay, let's go buy a house first.
After many inquiries, I learned that Xu Chun, the richest man in Xuchang, has a lot of spare houses.
When I came to the outside of Xufu, I took a look at the gate of Xufu, it was really magnificent, and I thought: This Xu Chun deserves to be the richest man in Xuchang!
Me: Dog, go up and knock on the door.
The dog baby turned over and dismounted and knocked on the door of the Xu Mansion.
It didn't take long for a man in his forties to open the door.
I immediately turned over and dismounted, walked up, and said: "This gentleman, please report it, and say that Jiang Dazhi, the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes, came to see Xu Ye.
Man: This man, wait a minute.
This man didn't close the door and walked directly to the house.
After a few minutes, the man came to the gate again and said, "The master has invited Jiang Ye."
Me: Thank you.
A few guys came out of Xu's mansion to help us lead the horse.
We followed the man into the Xu Mansion and walked to the meeting room of the Xu Mansion.
Walking in the Xu Mansion, there is a golden splendor everywhere, which is quite luxurious.
When he came to the living room, Xu Chun was already sitting inside.
Me: Jiang Dazhi has met Xu Ye.
Xu Chun: General Jiang, please be seated.
We all found a seat to sit down.
Xu Chun: I don't know if General Jiang is driving the humble house, what advice do you have?
Me: My younger brother heard that Xu Ye has several houses in his hands, which have been idle and uninhabited. Therefore, I want to buy a house in Xu Ye's hands, and I hope that Xu Ye will be successful.
As soon as Xu Chun heard this, he immediately laughed and said: Of course there is no problem with this, there is a house, the surrounding environment is very good, very suitable for living, but the location is a little remote, I don't know if General Jiang minds?
Me: I don't care what position it is, Jiang Ye, can you make a price?
Xu Chun: For General Jiang's sake, it's five hundred taels of silver!
Me: Thank you, Master Xu. The little brother is going to live today, no problem, right?
Xu Chun: There is no problem at all, although this house is uninhabited. However, sanitation is a frequent cleaning, housekeeping, and going to get the deed.
The man who led us in said, "Yes, sir."
It didn't take long for the housekeeper to bring the deed.
I gave the money to the steward, and the steward gave me the deed.
Me: The younger brother thanks Xu Ye for his generosity, and if you can get the little brother in the future, please let Xu Ye know.
Xu Chun: It is rare for General Jiang to attach great importance to love and righteousness, and the old man admires it, and there will be a period in the future.
Me: My little brother will say goodbye, and there will be a period later.
Xu Chun: Butler, you lead General Jiang to his new house.
Butler: Yes, sir.
We saluted Xu Chun and walked out of Xu's mansion. The men from the Xu Mansion brought the horses to us, and a carriage was also brought.
The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion rode in a carriage and took us to the side of the house.
I looked around the house and found that the house was quite grand, the fence around it was very high, and the gate was also majestic, but the location was indeed relatively remote, near the suburbs in the west of Xuchang City.
Overall, though, I'm quite satisfied.
Me: Stupid cow, dog, take down the door plaque on it and give it to the housekeeper.
Stupid cow, dog baby: Yes, big brother.
The stupid cow and the dog baby directly launched light work, jumped up, and took down the door plaque.
The stupid cow and the dog baby put the door plaque on the carriage of the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, and the housekeeper said goodbye and went home.
We went in and visited the house.
There are 12 bedrooms and 2 living rooms in the house. The whole house is full of colorful flowers and plants, and it looks very warm and beautiful.
Me: It's going to be very comfortable to live in this house.
Wang Lung: That's for sure.
I looked at everything in the house and thought: the golden house is here, I should go and bring the beauty back, that is the real meaning of the golden house.
