"This is Zhang Shiquan, once I met a bandit on the road, thanks to him who saved me, his hand injury is not healed now, he wants to join the army, I want you to arrange it for him." Liu Man'er whispered to Ye Yuan, and then said to Zhang Shiquan:

"This is Ye Yuan, the famous god of war general in the Northern Desert Army, except for the marshal, he is the biggest in the military camp, and he has always said that he is the same, if you follow him, you will definitely be able to get ahead."

Zhang Shiquan saw Liu Man'er standing beside him prettyly, although he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but when he saw her sweet face, his expression became a little bitter, "It turned out to be General Ye." ”

"Thank you for taking care of her along the way." Ye Yuan arched his hand at Zhang Shiquan and said, "Since you want to join the army, then I will arrange it for you, but you have to start from the lowest soldiers, and in the end, what position you can get and what achievements you have depends on your future performance." ”

"I know." Zhang Shiquan's voice was a little low, and his eyes, which were as big as copper bells, were a little unrelenting.

Liu Man'er saw that something was wrong with him today, as if he was not in a state, and even his voice was not as loud as before, so he said: "Then when you go to the military camp in the future, you have to be called a subordinate when you see him, and there are many rules in the army, you have to change your habits, the most important thing is to be brave and fearless, don't be afraid." ”

"I will." Zhang Shiquan took a deep breath.

Liu Man'er asked him to pack up his things, and the group began to set off.

She has also lived in this small inn for a while, seeing that it is getting farther and farther away, Liu Man'er is also a little stunned in her heart, she turned her head to look at Zhang Shiquan who was driving a horse behind her, and for a while she didn't know whether it was good or bad for her to propose to let him join the army.

After all, joining the army, this is a road that cannot be turned back, and fortunately he has nothing to worry about, thinking about it, this road is also suitable for him, she thinks of herself again, and makes this decision by herself, why not dance on the tip of the knife?

It's just that life is short for a hundred years, minus less and no more, old and late, the rest of the time is not much, who will know what will happen in the future, or perhaps, this life is originally an empty dream, since it should be to follow your own heart, not bound by the outside world, chic and free.

Turning her head to look at Ye Yuan, who was riding beside her, the corners of her lips couldn't help but overflow with a smile, Ye Yuan was looking ahead with a serious look, touching her eyes, and couldn't help but glance at her sideways, seeing her winking at him, his serious expression instantly broke through, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pout a doting smile.

Soon came to the barracks, Ye Yuan asked people to arrange a big tent for Liu Man'er, right next to his big tent, and asked Li Han to take Zhang Shiquan down to settle down, Li Han saw Liu Man'er when he came over, and glanced at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes, Liu Man'er also glanced back at him, with a hint of the overcomer's provocation.

"You'll regret it." Li Han made a mouth shape towards Liu Man'er, but Liu Man'er was unmoved.

Ye Yuan arranged for Liu Man'er to have two soldiers in charge of her daily life, and originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but the marshal of the army, King Dingbei, hurriedly sent someone to invite, Ye Yuan could only let Liu Man'er rest first, and he left in a hurry with this person.

Liu Man'er sat alone in this big hall, she disliked the stuffiness, so she ordered the soldiers at the door to fetch her some clean water, she planned to make some ice, and also thought about making him some delicate food, and when her subordinates brought water, she began to get busy.

She thought to herself that with her, no matter how boring the military was, she would be able to make it happen.

She asked the soldier for fruit, and then asked him for eggs, and she planned to make him a bowl of ice cream, thinking that her snacks had been spread out for so long, but he had never eaten the same food inside, which was a pity.

But it doesn't matter, I can do it for him slowly in the future, anyway, she has more time now.

In the process of beating the eggs, there was a voice outside the door, and after a while, the guard called inside: "Girl, Master Lou is here to visit." ”

Hearing this name, Liu Man'er paused in his hand and said, "Please let him in." ”

As soon as her words fell, Lou Ye came in, Liu Man'er turned her head, and saw that Lou Ye was wearing a high crown and a robe, with an elegant temperament, but he had the appearance of a master outside the world.

"It turned out to be Mr. Lou, long time no see, congratulations." Liu Man'er took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her hands, and asked Lou Ye to sit down in this tent.

"What a joy." Lou Ye sat down in his seat and said, "Madam, you are a smart person, you really shouldn't have come at this time." ”

"I thought you were here to catch up with me, but I didn't expect you to be a lobbyist."

Liu Man'er chuckled, poured herself a glass of ice water, took a sip of satisfaction, and felt that the fire that had just risen in her heart had been suppressed a lot, and she put the cup down, and then she raised her eyes and glanced at Lou Ye: "I don't know, I stay here, and I only eat three taels of food a day, so it will hinder your business, and I need you to come over and persuade me one by one." ”

"It has nothing to do with food, we came to persuade you, it is for the sake of the past affection, I really can't bear to let Mrs. you die early."

Lou Ye looked at Liu Man'er fixedly, Liu Man'er glanced at him, suddenly chuckled, and said: "People say that poor and lowly friends can't be forgotten, and bad wives don't go to court, you are now a strategizing military advisor, just forget me, a poor friend, and let Ye Yuan stay away from me behind your back, I don't know what you guys are thinking!" ”

Speaking of this, her tone was a little unpleasant, and she slammed the cup on the table and said, "I am powerless and powerless, but so what? I also spent some time in the army in the past, so why did I cause you half a bit of trouble? Not only that, but I also tried my best to give you advice, but now, when you see me, it is like seeing a red face and a black sheep, which is really hateful. ”

Hearing Liu Man'er's anger, Lou Ye's tone slowed down a little, and said: "I know that Madame, you are different from others, so I said it more directly, I have always regarded Madame, you as a heroine, I just hope that Madame will tolerate one or two and not delay the general's major affairs." ”

"What am I delaying you?" Liu Man'er chuckled lightly and said, "Did I stop him from taking that princess, and you were dissatisfied?" Is your victory dependent on the use of a woman? If that's the case, then I really think highly of you! ”

"I knew a few years ago that my wife was sharp-toothed, but I never thought it would be even worse now." Lou Ye was choked by Liu Man'er, and he was also annoyed in his heart, and defended: "Those who become big things are not informal, do you know that when the former Han Gaozu was escaping, he encountered a dirt pit on the road, so he pushed his wife and children into the bottom of the car to fill the pit, if General Ye encounters any difficulties in the future, I am afraid you will also end up with the same fate as Han Gaozu's wife and children!" ”

Lou Ye Xiaozhi was emotional, moved with reason, and said: "You don't have to dislike me for speaking ugly, it is precisely because I know your extraordinary, so I don't want you to sacrifice in vain, you are now looking for a place, live in peace, and wait until a few years later, the general's achievements have been completed, and when the time comes, it is better to welcome you back with honor, isn't it better than being displaced now, and the morning is precarious?" ”

"Do you think that all I think about is glory and wealth like you?" Liu Man'er laughed when she heard this, she stared at Lou Ye for two seconds, and suddenly asked, "I don't know if you have heard the "Song of the First Life" written by Tang Yan, a genius of the previous dynasty?" ”

Lou Ye didn't know what to do, but before he could answer, Liu Man'er read it out:

"Life is seventy years old, except for the young, and the old after the old.

When there is not much time in the middle, there are frost and troubles.

The moon before the flower sings, and the gold bottle is urgently poured.

The world can't make enough money, and the officials in the court can't do it.

The official big money turned worried, and his own head was white.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter twist the fingers, and the bell sends the evening chicken to announce the dawn.

Please pay attention to the people in front of you, and bury the grass once a year.

How many graves are high and low in the grass, and no one sweeps them for half of the year. ”

Seeing that when Liu Man'er recited, her expression was calm, and her beautiful eyes were radiant, as if she had seen life very thoroughly, the words of persuasion prepared by Lou Ye were drowned in the corners of her lips, and she just said: "Since you have already seen through it, madam, then I will no longer persuade you, I just hope that you will do it yourself." ”

"You too, do it yourself." Liu Man'er sat in place, making a look like she was going to leave, Lou Ye was a little helpless, got up and left on his own.

As soon as he left, Ye Yuan came in, and when he saw Liu Man'er, he took two quick steps and walked to her side, looking slightly worried, and asked, "What did he just tell you?" ”

"What else can there be? You just want to drive me away. Liu Man'er said faintly, looking dejected.

"Ignore him." Ye Yuan held her hand and raised his eyes to look at her, "You won't regret it, will you?" ”

Liu Man'er didn't speak, Ye Yuan said: "I will protect you, don't worry, I will deal with the outside affairs, these people just saw you and me together, and their hearts were sour, so they came over to talk nonsense with you." ”

"yes, I know." Liu Man'er nodded heavily, hearing him say this, she smiled secretly in her heart, I don't know what the expressions on Lou Ye and Li Han would have on their faces if they knew that Ye Yuan was talking about them like this.

At this moment, she had forgotten the unhappiness just now, changed her previous depressed appearance, and said: "I'm just afraid that you won't be firm, but now that I hear you say this, I'm relieved." ”

"I didn't want you to come before, but since I've made up my mind, I won't repent." Ye Yuan looked at her kindly, his dark eyes were full of seriousness.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, even if you want to drive me away now, I won't leave." Liu Man'er poured him a glass of water, and after Ye Yuan drank it, he felt that the water was cold and cold, which was extremely inconsistent with this season, his dark eyes lit up, he looked at the kettle on the table, and asked, "How did you do it?" ”
