The Assassin on the hill vanished without a trace in an instant, leaving not even a corpse behind. However, He Liancheng naturally knew the behind-the-scenes instructions of these assassins, and what was lacking was clear evidence.

This episode of assassination did not slow down our journey back to China. After that, the journey was smooth, and there was no intersection between me and He Liancheng, but when I stopped the army several times on the way to rest, I saw Murong Yan from a distance with affection for him, and he responded politely and detachedly.

Sometimes, I wonder if he is so polite and detached from every woman he is not interested in. Obviously he is polite and polite to you, but he always exudes a kind of indifferent alienation, just like there is a seemingly transparent but indestructible barrier erected outside his heart, unless he himself is willing to remove that barrier, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to enter his heart.

And the only woman he is willing to treat with sincerity is already a ~ wife and a mother.

If one day he finds out what I mean for him, will he treat me with such a cold and detached attitude?

Thinking of this, I felt a sour pain in my heart.

"Brother Shanfeng, this is almost to Dading City, why are you still sighing?" Next to him, Ma Dahai leaned over and asked puzzledly.

I was shocked, how did I sigh unconsciously, it seems that this habit has to be changed. I pretended to cover up and sighed lightly, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just remembered that I was going to start training again after returning to the forward battalion......" After speaking, I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, and unexpectedly saw the corner of his mouth collapse, and his face hung down.

I coughed lightly to keep myself from laughing. Dazhe, who was walking in front, glanced back at the two of us, and sneered at Ma Dahai's indignant.

"Stop!" A call ahead.

We stopped and looked up, and it was Wan Yanping and a group of officials from the Beidi Kingdom who greeted Princess Lanling outside the city.

This place is still ten miles away from Dading City. Wan Yanping's wedding this time is really ten miles of red makeup, and the etiquette is all over the sky. Under the gaze of countless onlookers along the way, he and Murong Yan rode in a luxurious and spacious red chariot, slowly drove past the red-carpeted city tower, and went all the way to Zhennan Wangfu.

I heard that their wedding was presided over by the king of Beidi himself, and all the officials and dignitaries in the country were present, and the scene was very grand and magnificent. Wan Yan Ping and Murong Yan's wedding gave Xiliang enough face, but it also gave Wan Yan Lu a big embarrassment.

Of course, no matter how lively the Zhennan Wangfu is, it has nothing to do with us, the soldiers of the He family's army. The days in the barracks are always the same, except for the drill in the school grounds, that is, resting in the barracks, and nothing else.

More than ten days have passed in a flash. That morning, the 11th squad of the forward battalion where I belonged finished training on the school ground, and was about to go back to the barracks to rest, but on the way I was stopped by the commander Yuanji.

"You, and you, go out of the ranks, and go with the Commander." He raised his hand and pointed at me and Dazhe, and ordered.

Da Zhe and I glanced at each other, although I didn't know what Yuanji was looking for us, but I didn't ask much, and followed him silently.

What I didn't expect was that the place where Yuan Ji took us was actually the barracks of the commander of the He family's army.

Outside the door, Yuan Ji said respectfully: "General, the person has been brought." ”

"Come in." He Liancheng's calm and clear voice came from inside.

This is the first time I have entered the barracks of He Liancheng in the garrison camp of the He family.

The commander's barracks was naturally much more spacious than the barracks of us ordinary soldiers, but the furnishings in the room were extremely simple and tough, and there was no extra decoration except for the necessary supplies.

He sat behind a large number of desks, hunched down on them and scribbled. Hearing the sound of us entering the door, he didn't move, and he didn't stop moving.

"See General." Dazhe and I bowed our heads to him. I didn't know why he had called me and Dazhe here, and I was a little apprehensive.

"Hmm." He replied in a low voice, then put down the wolf hair in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the two of us, his eyes still sharp and open.

Dazhe and I stood respectfully under him. I pretended to be calm and my face was solemn, but the cold sweat from my palms revealed my nervousness at the moment.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Shanfeng, and your name is Dazhe, right?" He Liancheng looked at us for a moment and spoke.

"Exactly." Dazhe and I replied in unison.

He Liancheng nodded, turned to Yuan Ji and said, "Yuan Ji, you go and make arrangements, from tomorrow, let the two of them join the guard." ”

Yes?! Dazhe and I looked at each other, unable to believe our ears for a moment.

Seeing that we were stunned, He Liancheng raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, "What, don't you want to?" ”

Yuan Ji glared at the two of us and scolded: "What are you doing stupidly, don't thank the general soon!" ”

I came back to my senses suddenly, and hurriedly bowed down with Da Zhe and said, "Thank you general, the little one is willing to go to the soup for the general, and he will not hesitate." ”

Although this sentence is a scene, I think that for his sake, even if he wants me to go to the soup, I will never refuse.

He Liancheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "It's not that serious to go to the soup and the fire, this general only asks you to do two words, that is...... Loyal. ”

After I came out of his barracks, I was still immersed in a sudden ecstasy, and there seemed to be some disbelief in my heart. Yuan Ji walked in front of the two of us, and said in his mouth: "You two boys don't know what shit luck they have taken, it has been less than a month since you entered the forward battalion, and you were actually taken by the general and became his bodyguard." I think that when I was in charge of this camp, I stayed in the forward battalion for more than a year before I had the opportunity to serve the general. ”

Dazhe and I are both relatively taciturn people, and we don't usually talk much. However, it was obvious that Da Zhe was also extremely excited about being able to become He Liancheng's bodyguard, and he talked more, "Commander, I wonder what we will do in the future?" ”

Yuan Ji glanced at the two of us, as if he was proud that he had also been He Liancheng's bodyguard, shook his head and said: "That's too much, take care of the general's diet and daily life, run errands for the general, protect the general when he travels, and serve the general when he returns to the camp, in short, you can do whatever the general asks you to do, be smart, don't talk too much, just be loyal." Do you know why the general has a crush on the two of you? Just because you two are good, honest, and loyal. ”

I see. It seems that the last time Dazhe and I rescued him, he noticed the two of us, and maybe he also investigated us carefully these days before making this decision.

But I still don't understand why He Liancheng chose me and Dazhe as his bodyguards. Maybe he thinks that the recruits are relatively simple and easy to polish. Of course, it is also due to his need to cultivate his own power, just like Yuanji and all his previous guards, after following him for a few years, he was promoted and took charge of himself, so the generals promoted in this way are naturally much more loyal than others.

But after listening to Yuan Ji's words, I couldn't help but ask out loud: "Isn't there a servant girl to serve the general's diet and daily life?" ”

Yuan Ji stared widely, "The general is busy with military affairs, loves soldiers like children, and spends much more time in the barracks than in the mansion, can the maid enter this barracks?" ”

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, indicating that I was speechless. Yuan Ji is right, since I joined the He family's army for more than three months, I have also found that He Liancheng has indeed lived in the military camp for more time. But I think the reason why he likes to live in the barracks is not only because of his busy military affairs, maybe he doesn't want to go back to the house to face the woman he had to marry.
