Chapter 179: To the Brothers
"Commander, General Lu gathered all his old troops and went to drink tonight." The adjutant beside Jiang Yi stepped forward and said worriedly.
"Have all the people on duty gone?" Jiang Yi's expression was calm, and he didn't look unhappy.
The adjutant shook his head and said, "None of the people on duty went, and all those who weren't on duty went." ”
"Then you're worried about a fart, just be on duty." Jiang Yi glanced at the adjutant and said, "Also, you have to make it clear that General Lu is the general of Ganshan, and he is our general general." ”
The adjutant was unconvinced, and was about to continue speaking, but Jiang Yi looked at him and shut up in disgust.

"General, I respect you! If you hadn't dragged me out of the snow nest back then, where would I be today! ”
"General! Back then, you blocked the arrows of the Iger people for me, otherwise I would have died in the sand date forest, you were still fifteen years old that year, and you were still a hairy child! ”
"Go, go, how can you talk, the general is a hairy boy and better than you stupid big man!"
Lu Chengan sat among the crowd with the wine jar, listening to everyone reminisce about the past, and by the way, he took his familiar face in the crowd.
"Where's Ah Fei?" He looked around and asked, puzzled.
The crowd was silent for a while, and after a while, someone said: "Ah Fei died, last year the bandits came to grab food, he followed the adjutant of Jiang Commander to suppress the bandits, but he didn't dodge the wasted arrows, and he didn't come back......"
"Nonsense! Ah Fei is the fastest among us, how can he not dodge? Lu Chengan threw the wine jar on the ground and stood up suddenly.
The man was silent for a while before he said, "The brothers who came back said that it was because the adjutant saw that he couldn't dodge, so he grabbed Ah Fei, who had retreated to his side, and blocked the arrow......
"Bang!" Lu Chengan kicked the wine jar away, and the face of the young man who looked thin and always smiled appeared in front of him.
"General, I'm running fast, if you tell me anything, I won't be able to delay you." The boy always said to himself a little shyly, with anticipation in his eyes.
Once he gave him a task, he always did it quickly and well, and then looked at himself like a little beast begging for praise from his master.
"General, I heard that the dim sum in Shangjing is delicious, bring me some when you come back." When he left the Moxi Army, Ah Fei ran to see him off, and he smiled and had a snack with himself.
How did you answer at the time?
"Okay, I'll bring you a daughter-in-law who can make snacks in Beijing!"
And now, people are gone.
"Who else, gone?" Lu Chengan sat down weakly, looked at everyone's concerned eyes, and asked.
"Old wine barrels, gale, Ayang, and big chestnuts......"
Listening to everyone counting the names one by one, Lu Chengan only felt a sharp pain in his heart, these are all comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side with him, and they are all brothers who once drank with him and killed the enemy together, and now, they are gone......
He picked up the jar, took a sip of it, and then slowly poured the wine from the jar on the flat ground in front of him.
"To the brothers!"
"To the brothers!"
The sound of shouting and pouring wine was intertwined, and they all seemed to see the familiar faces, smiling at themselves.
"I, Lu Chengan, have lived for more than 20 years, and there are two things I am most happy about, one of which is to have you good brothers!" Lu Chengan raised the wine jar, "I respect everyone!" ”
After half a jar of wine was drunk, the atmosphere eased again, and a soldier dressed in a thousand household costumes asked loudly: "General Lu, what is your other most joyful thing?" ”
"Of course I'm married to a wife!" The people around laughed.
"In the future, if there are any injuries and illnesses that the military can't cure, they will come to me, and my wife's medical skills are among the best!" Lu Chengan listened to everyone's laughter, and somehow, as soon as his brain was hot, he blurted out this sentence that made him regret it and wanted to seal his mouth.

"Madam, I respect you!" Mr. Kang took the lead in getting up and holding the wine cup, "If it weren't for Mrs. Hongsleeves saving Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves wouldn't know what kind of situation he would have fallen in, and our father and daughter wouldn't know when they would be able to get together!" You are the lifesaver of our father and daughter! ”
Qin Ranran got up and toasted to him: "Mr. Kang is polite, the red sleeves are also a big help by my side now, and the root of it is that you teach him well." ”
Red Sleeves also got up and toasted: "I will not disappoint Madame's expectations and serve Madame well." ”
She wisely did not mention serving the general, so as not to cause the dislike of the lady and the misunderstanding of everyone.
Qin Ranran drank all the wine in the cup: "Your father and daughter are now also the people next to me and the general, we must be honest with each other." ”
"I am willing to do my best for the general!" Mr. Kang didn't say anything more and drank the wine.
Qin Ranran stood at the table, looked at everyone, motioned for Lu Jiu to fill the wine cup again, and continued: "Steward Li, Mother Liu, you are the old people next to the general, and now all of us here are our own people, so I will speak." ”
"I first came to Suzhou, I am not familiar with this place in many places, you two still have a lot of eyes on the things in this mansion, the general doesn't know how long he will stay in Suzhou, and he is still facing people with ulterior motives, we must not let him be distracted by the affairs of the back house."
"Mai Sui has also been with the general since he was a child, and I once told you that you are my nurse and dowry maid, and I must rely on you for my business."
"Poria, I brought you to Suzhou because I took a fancy to your clever and strict-mouthed man, I hope you won't let me down."
"You three children, the general has been training you for a while when he went to Beijing, and you can't take it lightly, you have neglected your own training when you come here, and in the future, you will all have great responsibilities."
"Ah Jiu, since you followed me, you have been both a maid and a guard, and you have to participate in the daily training of the secret guard, so you have worked hard."
She smiled at everyone and raised her wine cup: "I have talked about this with you before, and I will talk about it again today to remind you of the current situation of our General's Mansion. The general came to this Suzhou, not to enjoy the blessings, but to use his life to guard the gate for the Great Zhou. We came here with the general to settle the rear and support him. ”
"The general now seems to be in a high position, but in fact, he is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed. We are in Suzhou, we must not use the name of the general to do such evil things, if I know it, don't blame me for not being ruthless! In the next few days, they will buy a maid and enter the house, and Steward Li and Mother Liu must also convey this to everyone, if someone does something bad in the name of the general's mansion outside, it will be sold at the least, and it will be killed at the worst. ”
