Chapter 40: Two chapters in one
The fireworks burst out in the sky above the castle tower, and the brilliance flashed away, leaving an indelible mark.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everything returned to normal.
Ruixiang sat on the women's wall with one leg, and the air was full of the strong smell of the New Year. The money has been sent back, and my father and mother should be more relaxed!
Recalling my mother's tears and reluctance, my father's helplessness and sadness, I have no better way out except to join the army!
It's a shortcut to the road. Sooner or later, they will understand.
I'm not an older brother, I'm not afraid of the battlefield, I'm not afraid of killing! Now that the situation is very good, how can I turn a blind eye!
There was not a glimmer of light in the distant sky, the wind had stopped and the snow had stopped, and it was not as cold as the day for a while. The torch next to him shone on his face, surprisingly gentle.
Thinking that he had seen the wrong person, Akzhansong stood at the staircase for a few more moments, his head just out of the shadow of the wall. The naughty teenager had only spent a few months in the barracks before he became a qualified predator.
He joined the army at the same time as him, but he was less than half of him, and he was worthy of a captain under him.
"Since you're here, why don't you come?" The sound of heavy, powerful footsteps marching forward, you don't need to look to know who it is.
"My subordinates have seen all the heads!"
"There are no outsiders here, so why be polite!"
"Don't waste your courtesy!" If the whole village saw him, they would not dare to recognize him.
Ruixiang didn't dwell on this question, but said, "Ah Song, how do you say she is doing?" Did she plan it a long time ago, just wait for that day to come and leave! ”
It is only at this time that you will say that there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, you just want to find someone who is familiar with her to accompany you to remember that beautiful time.
When you wake up tomorrow, you will still be the most proud young general.
I have answered this question more than 100 times, and each time it is as fresh and happy as the first time. Especially with this meeting, it proves that I didn't miss the feeling.
"Sister, she is unintentional, she will choose to leave for our good!"
"You didn't say that before, have you forgotten?"
Fortunately, there is cover for the night, otherwise he will definitely reveal flaws under his scrutiny. "Her enemies are powerful, and she didn't come back for us. Apart from this, the subordinates couldn't think of any other reason for her. ”
"You've seen her lately?"
Akzhansong was shocked in his heart, where did this person see it? Even if he knew that Ruixiang liked her, he couldn't bear to say anything bad about her, thus reducing Ruixiang's liking for her.
"No、、、 no, no, no! If she wants to find you, she will find you first! ”
Obviously brothers who grew up together, when did they become so strange? Akjansong's hands were full of sweat, what if he didn't believe it?
I regret that I didn't ask about the actual situation that day, I have the heart to find it, and I can't leave because I am entangled in military affairs.
I had asked to guard the inn, but there was no one named Murdile Zhongyun at all.
Also, Ah Mei is dressed in Han clothes, and she must not even dare to use her name anymore!
"You're right, Ah Mei will only come to me if she wants to find it, how can she go to find someone else!" It's just that Akzhansong's behavior today is really suspicious, "There are still activities tomorrow morning, let's go back to sleep first!" ”
After he left, Ruixiang summoned one of his soldiers to inquire about the person who went to find Akzhansong that day. After learning that he only spoke a few words to a Han man, he didn't look any further.
In this city, wealthy Han Chinese would have dealings with one or two Jin soldiers or Jin officials. It's not surprising that everyone is just mutually beneficial.
Sister, when will you come back! How about staying when the mountains are full of flowers? I will be able to avenge you!
In the Ruyun Inn, Xiao Ermei danced and said: "There are no special activities, breakfast is all kinds of dumplings." If the guest officer is lucky, he can even eat a small goldfish! ”
"Little goldfish?"
"That's right, that's pure gold, the first one, the people who eat it will have more than enough every year, all the best!"
"Then borrow the little second brother's auspicious words!" Yue Qize took out a string of copper coins and threw it to him and said, "The little second brother works hard all year round, so let's use this money to drink some hot wine!" ”
Xiao Er happily took it and said, "Thank you, little one, I wish you a good New Year." After saying that, he left, and everyone was going out.
Nanjin watched Xiao Er go out, and wanted to stop him very much, but his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't stand up. Hurriedly said: "Xiao Er, prepare some hot water for me!" ”
"Well, wait a minute, guest officer!" After that, cover the door and go out!
Yue Qize said kindly: "The weather is too cold, and it is easy to catch a cold in the bath at this time!" ”
"I don't want it, I just want to bathe."
"I'll wash it tomorrow night, it's too late today!"
"I don't, how can I take a bath on the first day of the new year, I'll wash it now!" Yue Qize saw that he was stubborn, and he didn't persuade him!
After everything was cleaned up, Yue Qize saw his crooked appearance, and made up his mind: "I'll wash you?" ”
At this time, although Nanjin was drunk, there was still a trace of vigilance in his heart, and he refused on the spot!
After washing his hair first, Nanjin leaned on the edge of the barrel relaxedly. I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days and nights, but today I have walked a lot and drank a few more glasses of wine, and after a while, people will fall asleep!
Yue Qize drank tea, the brazier in the room made people feel a little dry, he walked to the window and opened a thin slit, the cold wind immediately paved the surface, and the whole person was a lot more sober.
Thinking that Nanjin was still bathing, he decisively closed the window. Today's events went round and round in his mind, and it didn't take long for his thoughts to sink!
By the time he came to his senses, two quarters of an hour had passed! Seeing that there was no movement behind the screen, he said: "Fourth brother, this water is cold, you still haven't come out!" ”
Unable to get any response, Yue Qize quickly figured out the joint. He came to the screen to take a look, and as expected, everyone had already fallen asleep!
Nanjin's body was in the bucket, his head was hanging down, like a hook, his hair was half dry and half still in the water, and his face was immediately touching the water!
Yue Qize walked to the bucket, but he was frozen, only to see the water overflowing his chest, only revealing two smooth and small shoulders, his complexion was as white as snow, and he unconsciously swallowed a non-existent saliva.
Nanjin felt uncomfortable, and when he wanted to breathe, he sucked a mouthful of water, and the person was directly choked up. Yue Qize came back to his senses and fished him out with one hand.
was hugged by someone, and the drunkenness of the south was gone. He coughed twice, and saw that his long hair was hanging down on his slightly bulging chest, blocking it tightly. But as soon as the white pants were blistered, they became a little transparent.
His legs immediately rolled up, his hands around his neck, and he was hugged sideways. Yue Qize has some impressions of this posture, usually adults holding children.
This man hasn't sobered up yet!
Nanjin calmed down and said, "Third brother, I'm fine, let me down, I'm freezing to death!" Yue Qize ignored it, and reached out to take the big handkerchief on the screen shelf and wrap it around him.
Nanjin breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped his veil tightly and said, "I drank a little too much, which made the third brother laugh!" ”
If he hadn't come just now, this person might have to take a few sips of bath water. "You know where your mistakes are, yes! Don't drink alcohol in the future! ”
"Yes, I see!" Nanjin was ashamed, this body had not been exercised, and his expectations were too high, and he almost burst out of the fire!
Yue Qize put him on the chair next to the brazier and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, I'm worried about catching a cold!" Saying that, he was about to go out, and Nanjin asked, "It's so late, where is the third brother going?" ”
"I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's any ginger soup!"
"No need, I'm fine."
"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens, you can't make a mistake!"
Speaking of this, I don't dare to guarantee that I will go south, although I have not soaked in cold water for a long time, I am cold all over.
Seeing him go, he immediately went to change his clothes. It's not good to grow too fast, and it's even worse not to grow up.
The cold body sat by the brazier for a long time and didn't come over, but his face was red from the heat.
"Ginger soup is here, hurry up and drink it!" Yue Qize pushed the door in with a steaming white porcelain bowl and said, "Drink it while it's hot!" ”
Nanjin took it and asked, "Is there anyone else in the kitchen?" ”
"There's also an old lady doing chores, and the rest of the people are keeping vigil!"
"You can't make this ginger soup yourself, right?"
"I'm having a problem?"
"No, I can't imagine that the third brother will still do things in the kitchen."
"If it's no problem, drink it quickly, I won't get these stir-fried vegetables, but this ginger soup is not difficult."
Nanjin took a sip and was choked by the unique fishy and spicy taste. There is most of the ginger in this bowl of water, so the ginger in the kitchen should not be used!
Seeing that his brows were furrowed, Yue Qize said: "This ginger soup is not delicious, but the effect of repelling the cold is very good, you don't have to worry about catching a cold if you drink it!" ”
Looking at this bowl of thick ginger soup, which couldn't be thicker, Nanjin suppressed his nausea and poured it down in one go. Yue Qize looked at his neck on his back, and lost his mind again.
After all, he was still too young to even come out of the Adam's apple. It's no wonder that Yue Qize didn't think about other places, in his cognition, no woman is like this.
Seeing him looking straight at his neck, Nanjin asked, "What is the third brother looking at?" ”
"How old are you?"
Nanjin put down the bowl and said, "Didn't I say it earlier?" Or I'm one year older, and the third brother can't be counted! ”
"Don't be poor, be honest!"
Seeing the seriousness he said, Nanjin didn't dare to lie anymore. This is all in the army, everything is on a normal track, and there is no need to continue.
"I'll be twelve years old by tonight!"
"Do you really dare to say that you will be fourteen years old after the thirteen years old?"
"I'm sorry, my subordinates shouldn't lie to you!"
"If you dare to say it now, you will have achieved your goal, right?"
"Absolutely not, who made you think your subordinates were too small to join the army. Now that you are my third brother, how dare my little brother lie to you! ”
"You didn't think of me as a brother before?"
"Before I joined the army, I always regarded adults as role models and bosses, and the respect in my heart was father-level."
Are you that old? Father-level respect, I don't have such a big junior. "It's only been a few days, and I've been demoted?"
"Of course not, there is this respect, but it is more close."
This man was blushing and looked a little annoyed. Yue Qize said: "You rest first, I'll go out!" ”
"Where is the third brother going? I'm going too! ”
Looking at Nanjin, who jumped in front of him, Yue Qize soothed: "I'll be back soon, you can't run anymore this time!" Seeing that he still didn't give up, he said solemnly: "Obey the order!" ”
The sound of firecrackers came one after another, and before it stopped, it was the first day of the new year! Nanjin was lying on the bed covered in sweat and had insomnia!
In other state capitals, the level of the generals defending the city is from the third grade or the fourth grade, because the special generals in Fengcheng are also special, so Bai Xinming's level is relatively high.
Not long after the hour, the sound of firecrackers became thin and gradually calmed down. Most people slept, but there were exceptions.
The house of General Tadayi was brightly lit, and groups of soldiers patrolled the courtyard constantly, and there was no superfluous sound, they were just walking machines.
In a room in the main courtyard, a young man wearing a robe with a scarlet embroidered unicorn carved silk on the left edge and an old man were sitting on a small table of chess on the dragon and phoenix couch carved by Huanghuali.
After a long time, the young man put down the chess pieces in his hand and said calmly: "Sir, I lost!" ”
The old man stroked his beard and said, "The general is dual-minded, and it is not unusual to lose!" ”
"If you lose, you lose, how can you have these excuses!"
"The general is still thinking about the thief?"
"Well, he stole the jade qilin, and I feel uneasy!"
The old man's surname is Jia Mingrenshu, who was originally his mentor, because he was somewhat famous in the circle, and his art of war strategy was also good, so he was invited to do the military.
Jia Renshu knew that he was suspicious by nature, so he said: "The jade unicorn in this study is also conspicuous, and it is normal for the thief to take this away." ”
"Sir is wrong, it's not the most valuable thing in this house."
Seeing that his handsome face was so heavy that it could freeze, Jia Renshu said with a straight face: "Aren't all those things missing, why is the general worried?" ”
Bai Xinming didn't answer, but his eyes said everything. Jia Renshu said: "General, does that thief have any news?" ”
"I searched Fengcheng and found no trace of that person."
"Is it because of this that the general is not at ease?"
"I'm afraid that he doesn't mean to be drunk!"
"The general's concern is not unreasonable, but a prolonged lockdown will definitely cause panic. More than 20 people died in the city last night, and now it is the New Year, so I am afraid that there will be chaos if this continues. ”
"The chaos will come out this afternoon, is it possible that I am still afraid of this? There are a lot of southern barbarians, and it doesn't hurt to die a few. ”
These words are unkind, but in the hearts of every Jin Bing, they are self-righteous, so they have no scruples about killing people, just like treating grass mustard.
"There are a lot of them, but even the most cowardly people should not be underestimated if they start a fire. If we kill them all, it will be meaningless for us to defend a dead city. ”
"I naturally understand, but there are also anti-backbone people among these Southern Barbarians, if you don't deter them fiercely, there will be more and more people who resist in the future."
"Those who are still helpless in the city can't let them freeze to death, the general had better let Fu Yin come forward to solve it, it can be regarded as an expression."
"Sir, let people go down and do it!"
When Jia Renshu saw that he was relieved, he knew that it was the limit! In this way, the combination of elastic and tight, soft and hard, Fengcheng will be firm and long-lasting.
Seeing his thick eyebrows frowning, Jia Renshu packed up his chess pieces and said, "What else does the general have to worry about?" "I'm also old, and I can't stay up all night!
"Sir also knows that the warehouse on the south gate of the south city has caught fire this afternoon, and the cause has not been found out yet!"
"The warehouse is a heavy land, it won't catch fire for no reason, and there is no trace of the scene?" When a soldier pays the most attention to grain and grass machinery, who dares to be so wild?
