Chapter 141: The Assassin (23)

The condolence group spent four days in the camp, and the regimental commander used this time to fully understand the movements of the coalition forces. When the condolence group left, the regimental commander was sure that the allied forces of the East and West Rome were doing their best in the war. I went back to the content of the report to Yang Congrong and Jie Du, and if I was worried that there was a possibility of a change in the Eastern Roman Empire, I would pay attention to the movements of the Eastern Roman Empire. As long as the Eastern Roman court did not issue a new order to the Eastern Roman legions in the coalition army, the war to exterminate the Serbian barbarians would continue to be fought with all its might.

The time for the return to Athens is set, which is this afternoon. Everyone did not have heavy labor supplies, but they had to carry the ashes of the three members of the teaching regiment who unfortunately died. Thinking of this, the head of the regiment couldn't help but sigh. The tradition of the Great Song Dynasty is cremation, and the ashes and relics can be sent back to the hometown for burial after death. Even if they can't be sent back to their hometown, the urn will be worshiped with incense in the spiritual pagoda of the Great Song Cemetery. If you die in a foreign land, you don't have such a chance, and it is very likely that you will just bring the relics back to the Great Song Dynasty and hand them over to the bereaved family. This is not because of the cruelty of the government, the Great Song Dynasty has sailed for decades and many ships carrying ashes have been sunk by wind and waves, or the urn fell to the ground and the ashes were scattered due to turbulence or some unknowable circumstances. Finally, there was a rule that the ashes should not be transported as much as possible.

Lifting the curtain of the residence, the head of the regiment was full of arrangements to go back. When the curtain was lifted, the head of the regiment's thoughts instantly flew out of the clouds. There was a fence outside the gate, and outside the fence was crowded with soldiers. The regimental commander only felt an electric shock from the root of his tail to the tip of his hair. What are these people going to do? Bomb the camp!

When the regimental commander came out, one of the soldiers shouted, in Greek. Greek is surprisingly difficult to learn, and the Song people in the Great Song Dynasty Europa Province had to learn foreign languages as a tool, learning Latin and Chinese pinyin as a foundation, and learning Greek is really beyond everyone's wishes. At least the regiment commander himself did not understand.

Lowering the curtain and retreating to the residence, the regiment commander called the regimental members next to him and reprimanded: "Why don't you come and tell me that something is wrong outside!" ”

The members of the group explained to the head of the group with an embarrassed face that the purpose of these people was to meet the young lady of the courtesa and maiko in the condolence group.

"We've been acting for three days!" The head of the regiment felt that the group outside was asking too much. The courtesans trained in the workshop are not prostitutes, but the talents that these girls provide to society. Are these coalition forces using the girls as prostitutes?

While he was talking, Sima Rong of the Great Song Teaching Team walked in with three coalition officers, and when he came up, he smiled at the regiment commander and said, "Let everyone be afraid, these are brothers who have just returned from the battlefield." They didn't catch up to see the condolence performance, and this time they specially asked the condolence group to stay for an extra day or two. ”

The head of the regiment was helpless in his heart, but he didn't know how to refuse. The condolences themselves were a success. The quality of cherry shochu produced in Athens is much better than that of Eastern Rome, and everyone can eat a few pieces of thousands of catties of jerky. The condolence group is to help the soldiers who have tensed their nerves in the war to relax, and they have crossed the mountains and mountains to bring not only fine wine and jerky, but also theatrical performances. This is also a common labor army model in the Great Song army.

Zhao Guanjia established the new army, requiring the moral standard of the new army to be higher than the ordinary moral level of society. Therefore, if anyone in the army dares to rape a woman, they will all be executed. The military does not have social contact on weekdays, and must be on the front line when defending the country and providing disaster relief. In such a situation, there is never a shortage of theatrical performances in the army, and the soldiers themselves will organize their own performances. The response of the soldiers was enthusiastic, but not out of shape.

The coalition forces are different, these guys have never seen high-level literary and artistic performances on weekdays, and they show not enthusiasm for the performance of the condolence group, but fanaticism. The Eastern Romans were still civilized, and their reaction was not so animalistic. But he will not miss any opportunity to touch the sisters, the girls in the performance group have lost an average of three pairs of shoes, and the hem of the skirt has been torn many times.

When cleaning the performance site, these missing objects could not be found even a single hair. Sima Rong was right, when he heard that there was a performance, many troops even rushed back from the front line in a hurry. This led the commander of the coalition forces, General Julius, to call the head of the condolence group from his hospital bed to talk.

General Julius was stabbed by the Serbs who acted as his guide, and he was wearing the steel armor and silk cloak of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Assassin's poisoned dagger failed to pierce the steel armor, but cut the general's arm. When the general met the regimental commander, he was not talking about his injuries, nor about the determination of the coalition forces to destroy the enemy. Faced with an unprecedented way of working the army, General Julius hoped that the regimental commander would leave quickly. He was worried that if he performed in the army again, he was afraid that something would happen.

"The general wants us to leave quickly." The head of the regiment whispered to Sima Rong.

"If you don't add a performance, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." Sima Rong also replied in a low voice: "These soldiers said that if you are afraid of lack of money, they are willing to give it." ”

"What a joke!" The regiment commander instinctively retorted. Labor Army performances have always been free, and if you dare to collect money, something big will happen.

"I know. So I said, you have one more show. At the same time, hurry up and pack up your things, finish the performance, get off the stage, and leave immediately. Otherwise, you won't be able to go. Sima Rong gave advice helplessly.

"What do you do with General Ulysses?" The head of the regiment was also helpless.

"You are safe and gone, and the general is relieved. Do you think these generals are making trouble with the general, and the general can really stop it? ”

The helpless conversation led to a helpless result, and the condolence group finally decided to do what Sima Rong thought. The regiment commander nervously prepared the arrangements for leaving, but fortunately, the mules were empty. Everyone is not worried about the lack of livestock.

The show started at noon and lasted for more than three hours. The audience was boiling, and the cheers and cheers of the soldiers echoed over the camp like a tidal wave. To the surprise of the regiment commander, after the curtain call, everyone said that they wanted to say goodbye to the barracks. Later, when he returned, those soldiers did not stubbornly oppose it. They simply came to the stage and lifted up all the men and women of the labor army, and the others gathered around and sent the people out of the barracks.

There was a relay in the middle, and those young ladies in beautiful clothes were like flowers floating on the ocean of human beings, pushed by the flow of people to the camp gate. When they arrived at the camp gate, there were already cavalry waiting, and the mule team of the condolence regiment left the camp under the protection of the cavalry. The door was full of people waving goodbye.

The head of the regiment was so frightened that he was out of his body, but when he saw this scene, his nose was sour, and tears came out. This is civilization, no matter if everyone has dropped some souvenirs from the little sisters, but they still keep the minimum bottom line. If you can keep the bottom line and not be swallowed by desire, you will leave the possibility of cooperation.
