Chapter 32: The Return
In fact, the cavalry under Li Xiangzhang did not fight much at all, but after receiving prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, a lot of work was wasted, and when the loot was finally transported, it was found that all the baggage soldiers of Si Weiband were killed, and they had to temporarily requisition the captured Ganghe baggage soldiers to operate the sail cart.
By the way, the Ganghe army that hid in Longlingji was also aware of the current affairs, and finally came out of the city and surrendered, and the province of Airong attacked the city. Siwei then followed Li Zhuzhang to escort the prisoners and supplies back to Hanse, while Ayron continued to reclaim the outpost fortress west of the Chaxi River.
Zhou Quan patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder and handed a thumbs up to Zhang Yuan: "I can't see it, you kid is still a little capable, even Wannibal has been killed, I heard that you killed a general before, admire and admire." ”
Si Wei, who was riding a horse on the side, also looked at Zhang Yuan with complicated eyes, he didn't blame Zhang Yuan for why he didn't make a move earlier, but he also knew in his heart that Zhang Yuan had a lot of credit for not being wiped out this time.
Zhang Yuan smiled shyly: "How can there be anything that can't be endured, in fact, I am blind, I didn't expect to really hit." I still have to thank you for your help, otherwise it would have been useless for me to kill Vanibal. ”
Zhou Quan also laughed, pointed at Zhang Yuan and quipped: "You kid is still modest with me, you can really blow it if you kill two generals blindly." ”
Zhou Quan's hearty laughter attracted Li Zhangzhang's attention, he glanced back at Zhou Quan and Zhang Yuan sitting on the sail cart, and then turned his head to look at Si Wei and said, "Ah Wei, tell me about the situation this time." ”
So Siwei roughly talked about what happened after he left Hanse with his troops, including guerrilla tactics and Zhang Yuan's killing of Vanibal. Li Yanzhang was obviously a little surprised, glanced at Zhang Yuan again, and asked, "Just this kid?" ”
Si Wei nodded and said with a wry smile: "Surprised, isn't it?" He seems to be a magic handicapper, and he can't use magic, but he is a special talent, and I think he is very suitable to be Fafner's gunslinger. ”
Li Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and pointed at Si Wei with a smile and scolded: "You guy, just rely on having a father, you can even do this kind of thing." Say, how many doors are you going to keep in Hanse? ”
"I actually want to stay in Hanse, but it's not realistic, I think you are all in the rear and don't fight, give you one, and leave three on our side, it's not too much, right?"
"You can't do too much, I'll calculate this account with you, first of all, we must hand over one door in the west, and then the military department will keep one door, this is not negotiable. But I think you can't keep the remaining two, you think if the Western Magic Military Academy wants one, will you give it or not? And the old man of the Ai family is the deputy minister of defense in the north, I heard that the war over there is also tense, do you think he can not send a door to his father? ”
Si Wei looked at Li Zhanzhang and counted him with his fingers, and scolded with a smile: "You know that I can't keep any of them, and you still ask me, make fun of me, right?" ”
Along the way, the Hanse soldiers also talked and laughed, and everyone had the joy of victory on their faces, and two days later the team finally arrived at the foot of Hanse.
Li Yanzhang returned directly to the team, and Siwei, who was currently the highest local military commander in Hanse, reported to his father.
Zhang Yuan went to join Chun Mengya, because he didn't see Chun Mengya when he came down from the mountain, so he stayed with Si Wei at the front of the team all the way, of course, he also met Zhou Quan, who came to report to Si Wei, and the two chatted all the way in the car.
Chengge also stayed with Chun Mengya, watching Zhang Yuan come over, Chengge was a little surprised, and immediately threw himself into Zhang Yuan's arms and hugged him tightly.
Chun Mengya looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile: "Your sister has been asking about your situation all the way." ”
When Zhang Yuan heard Chun Mengya's words, he patted Chengge's head and said with a smile: "Don't you see that I'm not here well, what is there to worry about?" ”
Chengge raised her head, there were still two tears in the corners of her eyes, and she stared at Zhang Yuan's eyes like this, without saying a word.
Being stared at by Chengge was a little embarrassed, Zhang Yuan quickly turned his head aside, and asked in a panic, "You, what's wrong with you?" ”
"You promised me that you would always be with me and would never leave me." Chengge stretched out two small hands, pulled Zhang Yuan's head back, looked directly at him and said.
"This, how can I promise you?"
"Promise me!"
Looking at Chengge's serious appearance, Zhang Yuan swallowed his saliva and had to say, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"A word?"
"It's a deal."
Chengge laughed, and the two tears finally slipped from the corners of his eyes, flowed down his cheeks to his chin, wetting Zhang Yuan's chest and Zhang Yuan's heart. He had never seen such a bright smile, and unconsciously stretched out his arms and hugged each other tightly, with a smile on his face, and his vision gradually blurred with a smile.
Zhang Yuan swore that he would protect Chengge's smile in the future, which touched the smile of him, a traverser. If last time at Chunmengya's house, he recognized Chengge as his sister because he was unacquainted and looked at each other pitifully, then this time, he really regarded Chengge as his sister.
Chun Mengya shrugged helplessly, it seemed that she was being left aside again, but at this time, looking at Zhang Yuan and the two hugging each other tightly, her eyes were also a little moist.
Loved ones, what a distant noun.
It took a while for Zhang Yuan to react, then he looked up at Chun Mengya, and patted Chengge a little embarrassedly: "Okay, Sister Mengya is still waiting for us." ”
It's okay if Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, but as soon as he finished saying this, he found that Chengge was stunned, his face was buried in his chest, and only two blush crawled up to the exposed ears.
Just when Zhang Yuan wanted to say something, Chengge suddenly jumped away from Zhang Yuan, lowered his head and played with his two little hands, but in a short moment, Zhang Yuan still saw Chengge's blushing face, like a ripe apple.
The surrounding soldiers were so cute that they were almost melted by the appearance of Chengge, and they all shouted:
"Ah Wei is dead!"
At this time, Siwei was reporting on the situation of the battle: ???
Chun Mengya stepped forward, grabbed Chengge's little hand, turned her head to look at Zhang Yuan again, and said with a smile: "After you came here, haven't you taken a good look at Hanse, will I take you around the city with your sister tonight?" ”
Zhang Yuan looked at Chengge, but he didn't expect Chengge to raise his head and look at him, and then lowered his head with a red face, but Zhang Yuan had already seen the look of expectation in the other party's eyes, so he nodded and stepped forward to hold Chengge's other hand.
"Well, I'd love to see what kind of city Hanseh is!"
The sun gradually moved from east to west, and only half of the fiery red emerged from the mountains to the west, casting the last rays of light on the western slope, and by this time the eastern slope of Hansele had darkened, and the streets were gradually illuminated by the light of magic.
Seeing Zhang Yuan looking at the dazzling orbs on the pillars on the side of the road, Cheng Ge on the side explained in a low voice: "That's a light stone, it will store light elements during the day, and it will glow at night." ”
Chengge was wearing a red tunic dress at this time, but the chest was embroidered with the golden sword of the Chun family's family crest, and the feet were also red delicate shoes. She also wore a red lace hat on her head, with a golden silk ribbon tied on it, which matched Chengge's white and red face at this time. The sleeves of the dress were only five minutes long, and a pair of slender lotus arms stretched out from the cuffs with folds, and against the backdrop of a red cloth, they looked like porcelain dolls' hands.
Zhang Yuan also changed his clothes, he had been wearing the undershirt and trousers that he had crossed over before, and he was wearing a robe that he would give, but Chun Mengya was considerate, and made a few clothes for each of them, which can be regarded as being able to go out to meet people.
Zhang Yuan is also half-red now, the style is much simpler than Chengge, some like the casual Taoist robe that Zhang Yuan has seen before, the inside is still the undershirt worn by Zhang Yuan, and the outside is covered with a red long-sleeved short robe, with a pair of golden swords embroidered on the chest, and black pants on the lower body, of course, the shoes on the feet are Zhang Yuan's own sneakers.
Although I don't know how Chun Mengya knows her height and measurements, Zhang Yuan is no longer surprised, after all, a lot of the magic that Chun Mengya has been using is at home, probably what kind of means this is.
Chun Mengya is also wearing a red long skirt, which is similar to the one on Chengge's body, just like a sister's outfit, but with a hat missing. In fact, Zhang Yuan was against wearing red at first, after all, the red suit always reminded him of hanging in the middle of the night, especially at night, which really made him feel panicked, but Chun Mengya said that this was the Chun family's color blocked, so Zhang Yuan had to wear half of the red.
The three of them walked down the slope for a while, and the silver soul moon in the sky finally rose, emitting a cold glow. Zhang Yuan couldn't help but glance at the moon more, and it was hard to believe that the moon in this world was actually a huge sphere formed by human souls flying into the sky.
Is this the legendary Soul Orb?
Soon they reached the east gate at the bottom of the slope, and at that moment a cheer erupted from the top of the hill, and a magic trick flew up into the night sky with its long tail and exploded into a cloud of stars.
Chun Mengya turned her face sideways and said to Zhang Yuan with a smile: "Look, they are celebrating the victory of the war, speaking of which, you can be regarded as a hero this time." ”
Zhang Yuan didn't speak, just looked at the night sky quietly, he still remembered that when the Ganghe people surrendered, there were less than a thousand people left under Si Wei, and many of these thousand people were wounded and sick who insisted on fighting.
He was glad to be in Hanse, a place where the culture was somewhat similar to where he used to live, where the people were united, strong, and optimistic, as he saw from the Hanse soldiers.
The three of them walked a little further along the foot of the city wall, which was the downtown area of the city, and the caravans that came in from the east gate went directly here, and these merchants were still doing business until now.
"It's not usually open until so late, just because it's a special day." Seeing that Zhang Yuan was very interested in these merchants, he said timidly beside him, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
Zhang Yuan then remembered that this was the place where Chengge lived in the past, probably because he thought of bad memories. He looked at the shops on the left and right, and found that there was one that sold jewelry, and was thinking about buying some gifts for Chengge, when he suddenly patted his head, and then remembered that he was penniless now, although he couldn't use money with Chun Mengya's back.
Chun Mengya looked at Zhang Yuan and looked at herself with some embarrassment, knowing that he was shy, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, you can pick whatever you like, I will lend you money, but you must pay it back in the future." ”
Zhang Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then walked into the store with a red face.
