"This time our army went out, it can be said that it was a complete defeat, with countless dead and wounded soldiers, and most of these soldiers were recruited from other tribes, and the tribes of Wangcheng barely participated. "Vallan looks rough on the outside, but on the inside he has the delicacy that a general should have, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in such a high position.

At this time, his eyes were full of wisdom, and he continued: "This time the loss is huge, and as the commander, I bear the brunt, this time I came back with countless pairs of eyes staring at me, if I didn't show the enemy weakness just now, retreat as advance, and wait until I enter the court, I don't know how many people have blackened me." ”

Bart was a little resentful, and retorted: "The righteous father has done his best for the cause of the barbarians, and he has tried his best to think about it, why should they attack the righteous father, these white-eyed wolves!"

"Alas, this is the court, don't talk about feelings, only talk about interests, so you have to be more careful with me in the future, and be wary of those people who attack you in the dark, although my people will protect you secretly, but you can't be careless yourself, you can understand. ”

"The child understood. ”

Vallan's words revealed a deep sense of care, just like an elder cares about his relatives, Bart is very useful, and after a few words, the relationship between the two is a little closer.

When the army returned and entered the city, Vallan handed over his talisman, and from then on he was no longer the commander-in-chief, but an idler at home, waiting to be summoned.

It's actually a good feeling, to get out of the pressure and suddenly it's so calm, and the rest just has to go with the flow.

After dismissing the soldiers in the barracks, Valland and Bart rode their horses and led the guards to their homes in a dashing manner, and his anxious mood could be seen from Vallan's face.

"Bart, let's start from the side road to see who gets to the end of the road first, and let the stepfather see if your horsemanship has improved a little. "When he was in the army, Vallan had taught these skills by hand, and it was easy for a martial barbarian to learn them.

"Haha, then let my father-in-law see my growth!"

The two hit it off, and after a few loud and cheerful sounds, the two of them pulled the reins at the same time, and then kicked the dust away, and the guards behind them also followed tightly, for fear that the head of the family would have an accident, and at that time it would be impossible to escape the blame for death.

The horseshoe was plunged into the ice, and the strong grip made them run at full speed without slipping, and the two competed with Walland, ending the contest with Walland's half-body distance in advance, and getting closer to home, Walland's homesickness became more and more intense.

The stone tablet at the entrance of the "Mansion of the Great Commander of the Royal City Garrison" stands like this, and the small characters below also record the merits of this master, this time, Vallan's contribution to the barbarians, and it is also the best praise for him by the king and the people.

"I said you kid, you look honest, but in fact you are still clever, not good, not good. Vallan quipped with a smile.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Bart's face, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "The elders taught me to respect the old and love the young. ”

Walland was amused by his honest words, and said, "You kid is not bad at this mouth, are you sarcastic about me, or praise me?" ”

"The child doesn't dare, the child is afraid, there is absolutely no such meaning, I just said what was in my heart, I didn't want to deceive my father-in-law. ”

"That's it, that's it. Valland waved his hand, signaling him not to take it to heart, and then led the horse, walked to the stele, gently stroked the stele, and showed a gratifying smile, which was the honor he had only received after fighting all his life, smiling and laughing, but suddenly crying, he suddenly thought of his dead wife, he remembered that it was several years ago, he was out on patrol, and when he returned home, he found that he was separated from his beloved forever, and that kind of pain was so heavy that he has not forgotten it until now.

So, he went home less often, and he couldn't face that daughter, like a stranger.

"Hey, what are you doing out there, yes, you. "Crisp as a warbler's voice, a pretty person at the door, slim and elegant, this person appeared, it was like a beautiful landscape.

Before the word "female ......" could be spoken, the girl snorted coldly, turned and entered the house, leaving only the empty door frame, and Valland's sad thoughts, and for a while, tears filled her eyes, this time tears of joy.

Shedding tears in front of Bart was a humiliating thing for a dignified elder, so Vallan, who was in his fifties, turned a rare red face.

"Ahem, ahem!" said Vallan, coughing to ease his embarrassment, and then gave a few orders to the myopia, telling them to take care of the horses, and then dismounted.

"Let's go, come in with me. ”

"Good. Bart readily agreed, and then followed Bart into the door.

Not to mention, Bart's heart was still a little apprehensive, the difference in status made his fragile self-esteem tremble a little, one was a commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and the other was a hairy soldier a few months ago, although he had worked hard to get close to Valland, but there were some things that needed time to precipitate.

Valland's eyes were still vicious, and when he squinted, he saw Bart's restraint, so he shook his head and chuckled, he was as young as he was, and suddenly he missed his youthful days a little.

But when I thought about it carefully, I sighed again, and when I got old, I really began to think crankily.

——

Bart was indeed very restrained, so that he only dared to bow his head slightly, and Valland suddenly paused, Bart didn't react, and hit Walland's back headfirst.

"Ouch!" Bart smiled and rubbed his head.

"Where did you find this person, don't just bring anyone to the house, okay?" the pretty girl suddenly stopped and choked.

Then I saw Bart slamming into Vallan in a daze, his face even colder, with a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away.

It's a shame, Valland has a feeling of hating iron and steel, how can this stupid boy see the girl's family, can't even walk, and was scolded by his daughter like this, he won't even say anything to refute, because the communication between their father and daughter is too scarce, and there is already a communication barrier.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you," the girl also found out about her father's embarrassment, after all, there were outsiders there, and she didn't want to be too embarrassed, so she had to slow down her tone for the time being, and continued, "Let's go to the bathroom and take a shower, I've already asked someone to prepare a meal, and I'll come over to eat when it's okay." ”

Then he departed without any more nonsense with them, and Bart saw that the girl's aggressive attitude, which had been generated by her beautiful and beautiful appearance, was gone.

"Okay, let's go take a shower together, it's rare for my daughter to prepare a meal for me, I won't wait to tell her to wait in a hurry." Compared with Bart's embarrassment, Vallan did not feel the slightest discomfort, perhaps because she had long been accustomed to this attitude, which was still good, and in the past, her daughter could not say a word to him for a month.

The two big men didn't go into too much detail about the bath, they scrubbed a few times, changed into the clean clothes prepared for them, and the two went out of the bath room together.

At this time, there was a small episode.

As soon as he came out of the bath, the servant who was at the door suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled, and Walland's face followed their gaze, so he laughed too.

Monk Bart was puzzled, looking at them suspiciously, not knowing what they were laughing at.

Valland couldn't make a fool of himself again, and drank the rest of the men away, leaving only a male servant.

"Haven't you worn a robe before?"

Bart nodded a little shyly, the Bruce tribe where he and Alan grew up is a small tribe of a few hundred people, and it is enough to feed and dress on weekdays, and there is no spare money to buy these from the Terran, high-priced silk silk, when he went to the Terran with Alan that day, Alan was ready to give him a set, but Bart insisted on not to, so he has always worn simple clothes sewn from animal skins, so he will not be cold, and there is no other pursuit.

But later, after joining the army, there was no other opportunity to wear these clothes, wearing armor all day long, and he didn't even take it off when he slept, so the first time he wore a robe, he naturally wore it backwards, and his belt was also buttoned randomly.

"Take him down and put his clothes in order, and then inform the other subordinates, he is my righteous son, and from now on, when you see him, you will see me as well, if you dare to chew your tongue in private, you will be caught by me, and you will be dealt with according to military law." ”

"The little ones understand, the little ones understand. The male servant nodded hurriedly, and the fire of gossip that had just appeared in his mind was instantly extinguished.

"Young master, please here. ”

Valland smiled hard at Bart, who felt a little less reserved.

Following the servant into the bathhouse, under his introduction, dressed and fastened his belt, Bart breathed a long sigh of relief, before he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, the sky was the seat, the ground was the bed, carefree, without the slightest restraint.

But from the moment he stepped into Barthes's mansion, a heavy pressure came over his shoulders, and he got along with more people, more pale smirks, more slick ways of getting along, and more rules and regulations constrained him.

He secretly cheered himself up in his heart, it was Valland who gave him the opportunity to get ahead, although the unfamiliar environment and strange villains made him very uncomfortable, but he would work hard to change and learn!

When he went out again and walked to Walland's side, Walland actually snorted, and Bart seemed to have become a little different in an instant, a little less restrained and a little more confident.

Well, not bad.

Having said this, the father and son went home comfortably, with a harmonious atmosphere and a harmonious scene.

However, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and when it comes to this sorrow, it should be the eldest prince.

The king lay down on the chariot and fell asleep, so the great heavenly master had to temporarily dismiss the large group on the grounds that the king was resting, and let them wait for the summons, and the great prince, who was furious, walked away with his sleeves in a fit of rage, and returned to the palace at this time, generous and thunderous.

"Hey, my master, these are all treasures that you bought at the expense of a lot of money, why did you smash them? ”

"Bang, pop ......" The eldest prince cursed angrily in the room, not only asking the eighteenth generation of the Varland ancestor, but also damaging his father by the way.

This is a terrible thing, casually talking about the monarch is a big sin to lose his head, and the head of the palace is so frightened that he pushes open the door.

With the creak of the doorway, the steward creaked in, and by chance, a half-man-tall crockpot flew straight to the door of his head, and the next moment it was about to bloom on the top of his head.
