A night of heavy snow, the world was white, and the two rode horses galloping in the white world.

In the military camp training ground, the soldiers have never relaxed, and when they see the general and the general returning together, they are not only happy, but also have some hidden worries. The situation was tense, the big war broke out, and everyone up and down did not dare to slack off, waiting for the general's order all the time.

Inside the camp, the cold is heavy, and it is conceivable that this camp tent is not enough to withstand the wind and cold. All the commanders gathered, and the general informed them of the contents of the document, all of them looked solemn, not without resentment, but to send it to the general, not only did not help, but also made the general block.

Commander Jialiu said: "General, everything is up to you, life is your person, death is your ghost, even if you are a ghost, you only listen to your orders!" ”

Commander Chen Tong said: "General, although you are not grieved, we will advance and retreat with you!" ”

Commander Guangjiao said: "Life and death together, advance and retreat together!" ”

The rest of the commanders such as Zuo Shu, Yan Xu, and Li Wei also said that they would share life and death, advance and retreat together with difficulties, and listen to the general's dispatch.

Guan Duyuan looked at this group of soldiers who lived and died with him, and was very pleased; After so many years of hard work, the hardships and blood he has endured, he has only this little thought left.

After some deliberation, we began to discuss which ones should go with them, which ones would stay in the headquarters, and how much grain and grass to bring.

Jingyu said: "General, all the commanders can do these things for you, and the top priority is to determine a route that is close and easy to take. This is the duty of the Governor, and it is estimated that it is also assigned to you. ”

I found a map from the Central Plains to Shensha Pass, analyzed it for a long time, and did not find the most ideal route, especially when passing through the Qingshan Plateau, many places have to take a detour. Moreover, the long journey, the carriage and horses are tiring, and the people are scarce, and how to meet the enemy at that time are all difficult problems.

The day passed quickly, and the people were very tired.

The next day, when he entered the palace to discuss the route, none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were worthy of the great responsibility. In the end, the emperor ordered the ministers to work together, and the commanders to coordinate and jointly draw the process route.

Seeing that he was about to go on the expedition, many things were not properly arranged, and Guan Duyuan rushed back to the general's mansion when he came out of the palace.

Chang Wan also knew that the general was going to go on the expedition, and she was always reluctant, so she could only hide this affection. She knew that it was a wrong start, so she tried her best to make up for it for the rest of her life, not expecting anything to go, hoping that she could help him as best she could.

The general went out for a day and didn't return, presumably busy with the expedition, she packed a package, which was prepared for the general. She was embroidering sachets under the lamp at the moment, waiting quietly, knowing that the general would come to see her before he left.

One day did not return, the people in the house waited for him to be stupid, Wu's mother looked at the door from time to time, and Shuhe was waiting in the yard. The thick snow that had just fallen was trampled on by her, and the messy footprints trampled a piece of snow to death.

When Guan Duyuan came back, he saw her stepping on snow, and the yard was full of her footprints, which showed how boring she was. When she turned and saw him, she ran over, and when she slipped her foot, she fell on all fours. frightened He Huan and the general on the side, and the general immediately picked her up from the ground, like a little doll.

"Why did you come back?" In an almost coquettish tone, I was about to blame her for not paying attention to the fall, but I lost my mind in an instant.

He hurriedly explained: "I was busy with the expedition in the barracks yesterday, and I just came back from the palace today. ”

She hugged him tightly with her backhand, and suddenly found that his left hand was trembling, she immediately struggled to break free from his arms, and after standing still, she pulled his left hand to look. He wanted to break free, but she wouldn't. His left hand hurts in cold weather, especially in the joints, which have been suffering from cold in the past two days, and the joint pain is terrible.

She lifted the sleeves of his shirt, and his whole arm was dark purple, as if he had been poisoned, and she saw that his left elbow joint had been deformed, like a misaligned one, and a small bone tuberculosis had grown.

"What's going on?" she asked. ”

He said lightly: "It's okay, maybe it's cold, just apply a hot compress." ”

She was very angry and dragged him around the house, using a lot of force. She quickly brought him the hand warmer, and brought him a basin of hot water for him to soak his hands. The water was so hot that she didn't dare touch it, but when he put his hand in it, he didn't react much, and at that moment, she felt a clear sound in her heart.

Her instincts told her that things were definitely not as light as he said they were, and that they were serious. She knew that the fingers of his left hand were mutilated, because during the intimacy, he deliberately avoided that hand, and also saw that he had been wearing finger covers, and asked him if he didn't say, and she didn't ask again, but she never thought it would be so serious.

Soaked in boiling water, the dark purple gradually dispersed, gradually showing red, his hands were more dexterous, and his perception was also sensitive, but his hands were used to the temperature, and he still didn't feel hot.

She couldn't accept this fact, and when she looked at that arm, her heart was like a knife, and a voice asked her in her heart, "Is this a cripple?" But she didn't dare ask.

"What the hell is going on? Why is this happening? She kept asking, but he had to say that he fell when leading the troops, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, and there was no need for her to know the truth.

She was anxious to cry, and said: "What should I do, how can you go to war, I don't allow you to go, you can't go, I'll go and ask the emperor", he could only interrupt her, "Girl, I'm fine, really!" ”

It's easy to talk about it, and it took a lot of talking about it to appease her.

It's simple to coax a woman, but you can't coax the person you love, you can only appease her.

The left hand gradually eased, the complexion tended to be normal, and the joints were not so painful. She withdrew the water that was about to cool down, took out a woolen scarf and wrapped it around his arm, and then lowered her sleeve and stuffed the hand warmer for him.

Guan Duyuan wanted to refuse, it was really inappropriate for a man to hold a hand warmer, but seeing Shu He's anxious appearance, he had no choice but to listen to her.

Chang Wan had been waiting for him, and it was late at night when he went.

Still entering through the back window of her house, Chang Wan had already opened the peony. A candle was lit brightly, and the sachet she had put down was still on the table under the lamp.

Leaning over to say hello, all the opening remarks were just a sentence of "general", he was still as usual, and said "no need to be polite".

The two sat down, and he looked at the sachet, which was very delicate and delicate. "This sachet was originally intended to be embroidered for the general, but I was afraid that the general would not accept it", her words stopped, and she couldn't continue.

A smart person wouldn't leave herself time for embarrassment, so she immediately changed the subject, "General, it's going to be an expedition in the next two days, can you arrange it properly?" ”

Guan Duyuan immediately replied: "Except for the affairs in the house, which has not been arranged, everything else has been arranged." ”

She understood that the general was worried about some people in the mansion, but she also knew that among those people who couldn't let go, she would definitely not have her Changwan, and she tried her best to restrain the sadness in her heart. She said: "General, as long as I can help with the affairs of the house, you can rest assured that you can leave it to me." ”

He also had this intention, "I came here tonight just to ask you for a few things, and I really want to ask you for help with some things in the house." ”

Chang Wan adjusted her mood, "When the general said this, he just tortured me." Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”

He spoke, "You know, the most reassuring thing for me is Madame, she has never dealt with the affairs of the mansion, and she does not know the people in the mansion, I hope you will take care of her more during my absence." It's not that you want to be close, or don't let her be hurt by those people in the Jiang family, you have to protect yourself, and then protect her. ”

Chang Wan listened silently, Guan Duyuan paused for a moment, and continued: "I know that telling you this is a bit too much for you, but I have no choice, I have wronged you, if I return safely, I will definitely compensate." ”

The little displeasure in her heart was swept away by his last words. The general wants his wife to be safe, just as she wants the general to be safe, how can her little displeasure be more important than making the general feel at ease?

She said: "It is my duty to let the general have no worries and go out with peace of mind." I have long been in the same boat as the general, and it is my duty to do things for the general; Madame is a person who can't let go of the general's heart, I naturally want to take care of Madame for the general's good life, just like you said, don't get close, find danger, and sweep it away as soon as possible. The general can rest assured that as long as I am here, I will definitely protect my wife. ”

Hearing her say this, my heart was complicated, "The second thing is the Jiang family, this time it was not uprooted, and the person behind her is in the Central Plains, I am a little worried." I will put two people into your courtyard on the pretext of denouncing you, both of whom are strong in martial arts, for you to send and protect you. ”

He continued: "The third thing is that the affairs of the house are now handled by the housekeeper and the nurse, and if anyone wants to intervene, you must stop it. You must remember to pay attention to the Jiang family and the Rong family, one is too vicious, the other is too mysterious, and they are both people who cannot be trusted. Jiang was grounded by me, in order to prevent her from colluding secretly, she was not allowed to contact anyone, and the people around her now were the ones I arranged, but I still had to pay more attention. ”

She agreed very happily, but she was also afraid, "General, in the mansion, I don't have the right to speak." ”

He said: "Don't worry, I will tell the housekeeper and the nurse, as long as they support you, no one will object." ”

She said: "I have remembered the general's instructions, and I hope that the general will be careful when he is outside, take care of himself, and always remember that his wife is still waiting for you in the house!" You are going out to fight and let go of the burden in your heart, so that you can meet the enemy with all your heart. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to the General's Mansion. ”

One entrustment, two intentions, three instructions, and once again.

Chang Wan took out the package from the inside and put it on the case beside the general, "The general's trip this time is for the war, life is hard, you can bring this thing in case of emergency, there are no valuables, they are all small items that the general can't use." ”

He didn't want to live up to someone's concern, so he didn't shirk it, and readily agreed, Chang Wan was very happy, and casually stuffed the sachet into the package.

Everything was entrusted, and when he was leaving, he said, "Anything in the house, write to me." Fuli, please! ”

She still told the general to rest assured that she would go on the expedition, not to worry about the house, and sincerely agreed to his request.

After some entrustment, the rest is parting. As he left with his package, the snow outside was so windy that it blinded them.

Back in the study, Guan Duyuan put the package away, and went to the main courtyard to find the nurse and the housekeeper, and it was another exhortation and entrustment, in the middle of the night, all they told were reluctance and parting, and there was a sad air everywhere. The nurse had tears in her eyes and wept silently, but the general hugged her and comforted and encouraged her.

Dealing with housekeeping overnight, belittled Chang's family, replaced her attendants, and secretly installed his cronies everywhere, he was busy, and when he returned to Shuhe's courtyard, it was already the middle of the night.

Shu He and He Huan were still knitting wool sleeves under the lamp, which were specially made to warm his left arm, and in order to let him take it away when he went out, he could only rush it overnight. When the general returned to the house, He Huan hurriedly withdrew, took the unfinished ones away, and she changed places to weave again.

The two of them talked at night, you and me, all of them were reluctant and entrusted, in fact, they had already said it on the night of drinking, but they couldn't help but say it again. It seems that by saying it again, you can really worry less.

Falling asleep in the middle of the night, all the reluctant attachments turned into clouds and rain, this dark night was so sad and helpless. Too many people think that sleeping on the same pillow will make a promise for a lifetime, and I hope it will be so.
