Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 103 - Barracks
The wind and snow at night, mixed with a bright moon, made the world seem even colder.
Inside the small inn, it was steaming and noisy.
On the first floor of the inn, everyone moved the tables, chairs and benches in various rooms to the first floor and spliced them with the remaining tables.
The table was filled with a variety of dishes, and the people in the inn gathered together to drink heartily.
And Wu Kang's and others, because of Li Changfeng's light, sat in the first seat in turn. Everyone ate and drank happily.
In contrast, the five people from Admiralty who came to make trouble during the day were not so comfortable!
Several people were beaten by Li Changfeng, although the injuries were not serious, but they had to go hungry and return in the ice and snow.
As night fell, the wind and snow scraped like a cold knife. A group of five people can be said to be as cold as iron all over their bodies, and there is no dry place on their bodies, and they are all white from the wind and snow.
"Abominable ......"
The man at the head felt that the hand pulling the reins had been numb from the cold. I took off the water bag next to the saddle and looked up to drink heartily, but found that the water bag had already turned into an ice pack, and there was no trace of water in my mouth.
"Uh......"
Just as the man was angry, his stomach made another inappropriate sound. When the other four heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh what laugh?! This ghost weather, rotten place, no village in front of you, no shop in the back. If it weren't for the sake of you waste, would Lao Tzu be cold and hungry now?! ”
The man nestled in the fire in his belly, and at this moment he completely broke out, throwing the "ice pack" at one of them, and said angrily. Seeing that the hall master was so angry, the four of them didn't dare to say more.
"Let's go! Go to the nearest town first, find a place to stay, and return to Luoyang early tomorrow morning! ”
"Hall, hall master, then, this, is that all?"
One of them asked, stubbornly.
"Forget it? What do you mean by forget it?! Swallow this breath and throw this man away. I, Zhu Zhongke, can't swallow this breath, I can't afford to lose this person! The revenge of these slaps, I, Zhu Zhong, will have to avenge sooner or later! ”
The man was vicious, his eyes were full of murder, and his tone was full of resentment.
"That old man is Li Changfeng, the famous swordsman back then. I've heard Master say His name......"
"Shut up! Don't talk to me for that old thing again! What if he's a swordsman? The old thing was also a lone martial artist back then, didn't he still lose in the hands of the master of this hall?! ”
"Let's go, hurry up! Drive! ”
The man shouted, and the five horsemen ran through the wind and snow again.
…………
Early the next morning.
After a night of wind and snow, the five people of Zhu Zhong finally arrived in Luoyang City before freezing.
Zhu Zhong, who suffered from the cold overnight, did not go home to cover the quilt and warm himself from the fire for the first time. Instead, he went to the military camp in Dongcheng to find an old acquaintance.
The other four also endured the cold, gritted their teeth, and followed Zhu Zhong to the barracks.
As soon as the five of them arrived outside the barracks, a strong smell of alcohol came to their faces. Several people starved and froze all night, and at this time, they were suddenly stimulated by the smell of alcohol, and they couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs.
The soldiers on duty in front of the barracks had already gathered firewood on the side and rubbed their hands together to keep warm. From the outside of the barracks, the soldiers in the camp were all gathered in front of the firewood, and no one patrolled at all.
Some soldiers even gathered around one place to gamble and drink, and from time to time they called their parents and mothers, not to mention how happy they were.
Zhu Zhong turned over and dismounted, came to the front of the camp gate, and respectfully asked the soldiers who were warming up.
"This military master, dare to ask General Jia if he is in the camp?"
The soldiers gathered in front of the firewood turned a deaf ear and continued to talk about their own affairs, and no one paid attention to Zhu Zhong.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhong had to wave his hand at the four people behind him, and the four of them immediately signaled, took out the money bag from his body with some distress, and handed it to Zhu Zhong.
"Hall, hall master, that's what I've saved for a long time, save it, save some ......"
One of them looked at the money bag in Zhu Zhong's hand, and it was painful. But before the words fell, he was killed by Zhu Chong's eyes, and he had to swallow the words.
Zhu Zhong took out twenty taels of silver from the money bag and handed it to Wu Chang. The captain accepted the silver and waved his hand to signal Zhu Zhong to enter the camp.
Zhu Zhong's face was overjoyed, and he was about to take the four of them into the camp. At this moment, Wu Chang stretched out his hand and stopped in front of Zhu Zhong.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhong was a little angry.
"Twenty taels is one person, and there is still a difference of eighty taels!" Wu Chang didn't raise his head, and spoke directly.
"You...... Hum! ”
When Zhu Zhong heard this, he was immediately furious, but this was a military camp, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to knock out his front teeth and swallow it, thinking that he was unlucky, and took out the money bag.
The four people who followed behind him, the expressions on their faces were more bitter than bitter melons, and they all felt that their hearts were dripping blood!
Twenty taels of silver per person, why didn't this officer and army rob it?!
Zhu Zhong added up the money of several people, but he couldn't make up enough eighty taels of silver, so he had to throw the money bag and exchange it for four people: "You wait for me here first, and I'll come when I go!" ”
When the four of them saw this, they were naturally happy to nod their heads and smile.
When the chief saw Zhu Zhong going alone, he didn't say much and put him into the camp.
After Zhu Zhong entered the camp, he went all the way to the big tent of the military camp. When he was a hundred paces away from the big tent, bursts of men's shouts and women's banters came from the big tent.
And several soldiers on duty in front of the tent also gathered in front of the firewood, drinking while punching. The cheeks were red when I drank it, and I was very happy.
When Zhu Zhong heard the sound coming from the tent, he naturally knew that it was not easy to enter, so he had to turn to a few soldiers who were drinking in front of the tent.
The drinking soldier didn't say much, and when he heard that Zhu Zhong was going to visit General Jia, he waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up!" General Jia doesn't have time, don't delay a few brothers to drink! Come on, brothers......"
As he spoke, several people gathered together and made fists.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhong clenched his hands into fists. However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. In the end, Zhu Zhong was still obedient, took out the silver with white flowers from his waist, and handed it to several soldiers with a smile.
Seeing this, the soldier who was swinging his fist took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and then put it in his arms, and complained in his mouth: "Wouldn't it be better if this was done earlier?" This bit of silver is not enough for a few brothers to drink a few drinks! Alright, wait here! I'll go in and report. Brothers, when I come back, let's continue! ”
"Go, go! That's a lot! ”
What can Zhu Zhong do? It's not that you have to be accompanied by a smiling face, nodding to a few people, and bowing your waist.
Inside the account.
Jacijay, dressed in armor, was drinking happily with all the generals in the army, and each of the generals sitting below was holding a wine bowl in his left hand; In her right hand, she held a dusty woman in her right hand; In front of the table, there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. After these generals drank the wine in their bowls, they had to shout again and again in their arms before they laughed, and the whole tent was extravagant and obscene.
The pawn entered through the back door and whispered a few words in Jacij's ear. Hearing this, Jacij, who was as happy as a living immortal, got up and kicked the pawn.
"Damn, I'm busy! Lao Tzu's Yaxing has been ruined by you! Get out of the way, let him wait outside, I'll see him when I'm busy! ”
The tent that had been obscene before was quiet with Jasijay's roar. The pawn was kicked, so naturally he didn't dare to speak again, so he quickly bent down and nodded yes, and then withdrew from the tent.
After the pawn left, Jia Xijie looked at the generals below and immediately smiled: "Let everyone laugh!" disturbed everyone's Yaxing, and General Ben punished himself with a drink. I hope you don't have to be surprised, everyone keep eating, keep eating! ”
Jacijay said, picking up the glass on the table and taking a dip. When the generals heard this, they raised their wine glasses one after another, saying that it was okay, and the big tent once again resumed its previous liveliness.
