CHAPTER XIV
When Wei Chenggong and Fang Aniu returned to the tent, the other three had just finished eating, and Jiang Yu'er hurriedly handed them the food for the two.
Wei Chenggong and Fang Aniu took the food and began to eat it in a big gulp, and the other three people stared at the two of them with wide eyes. Probably feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at like this, Wei Chenggong and Fang Aniu glanced at each other and stopped what they were doing.
"It's okay, it's just a normal patrol," Wei Chenggong said with a smile.
The other three people looked at each other, and then at Fang Aniu, Fang Aniu was seen with a hot face, and stammered: "Wu, Wu, Wu Tunwei, he, he said...".
"Wu Tunwei said let's pay the money," Wei Chenggong continued.
"Hmm..", Fang Aniu looked at Wei Chenggong.
"Wu Tunwei said that if we still pay the money, then we don't have to suffer hardships," Wei Chenggong said.
"Why, why is it so blatant in the barracks"! Wu Debao jumped up suddenly, "We are still suffering and tired, why, if we don't pay the money, we still want to toss us to death, we won't pay, see what they can do to us."
"Don't worry, Brother Ang, let's listen to Brother Wei first", Jiang Yu'er pressed Wu Debao and looked at Wei Chenggong again.
"Yes, you listen to me first, what's the hurry", Wei Chenggong put down the food, "I said that we don't have any money, and I don't know that we have to pay money to be a soldier."
"That's it, let's just say that we don't have money, how can we pay money if we don't have money, right", Wu Debao laughed, then looked at Jiang Yu'er and Xu Nian, and then looked at Wei Chenggong, scratching his head a little embarrassed, "You continue, keep talking."
"No matter what Wu Tunwei says, I'll just say that we really don't have the money to pay, so we still have to go on patrol tonight, in addition, everyone is prepared to be found in the future, I see that these Tunwei are all fishy cats, and they will hold grudges if there is no benefit", Wei Chenggong looked at a few people and said.
"How is it arranged"? Jiang Yu'er asked.
"The fenced area on the north side of the training ground is a bit far from our camp," Wei Chenggong picked up his meal and continued to eat.
"It seems that the worst work has been assigned to us," Wu Debao sneered.
"It's all the same, it's all patrolling anyway", Xu Nian was ready to lie down and rest after listening.
Jiang Yu'er looked at a few people, thought for a while, and asked, "Brother Wei, do you want five people together?"
"No, what if you don't sleep and train tomorrow, take turns", Wei Chenggong swallowed the last bite of food, "That's it, Wu Debao and I in the first half of the night, the three of you in the second half of the night, it will be better if there is one more person in the middle of the night, and you will seize the time to rest in a while."
Several people nodded in agreement.
When Wu Debao returned to the tent and called Jiang Yu'er, the three of them were already ugly, and the three of them came out of the tent in a daze, Jiang Yu'er took the torch from Wu Debao's hand, and it was dark outside, only a few fires were flickering.
When he saw Wei Chenggong, he was lying on a railing and waiting. Seeing the three of them coming, Wei Chenggong stood still.
"Here you are, look, how quiet it is here", Wei Chenggong said with a smile.
Jiang Yu'er and the three of them turned to look at the camp, and from here, the entire camp could be seen, but it was late at night, and it was not very clear. A few scattered fires, like a few stars in the night, flickered and flashed, and the night wind blew, making people feel refreshed, and the state of a few people who had just woken up in a daze was all gone.
"Yes, it's so quiet", Xu Nian closed his eyes and felt the night breeze blowing across his face.
Jiang Yu'er leaned his back against the railing, looking at the fire in the distance, such a night, in his broken yard, he often experienced. It's just that there was a hint of stability at that time, but now, although the night is quiet, people can't be quiet.
"Why did you come to be a soldier?" Wei Chenggong asked suddenly.
The three of them looked at Wei Chenggong suspiciously, a torch was like a faint candlelight in this empty night, although the person in front of him was very close, he couldn't see clearly, Wei Chenggong seemed to be laughing.
None of the three spoke, leaning against the railing.
Wei Chenggong waited for a while and said: "My father has always hoped that I can take a meritorious test, so that my family will not always be inferior to others, even if I can't go to Kyoto, I can be a showman, a businessman, no matter how rich I am, I am always inferior", Wei Chenggong turned around and lay on the railing again, "But I don't think so, I like to read military books since I was a child, I think men should make meritorious contributions on the battlefield", he grabbed the railing with both hands, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turn over the outside sound, and the battlefield autumn soldiers." The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. but the king's affairs in the world, and won the name before and after his death".
The three of them were a little distracted by what they heard, and Jiang Yu'er also turned around and lay on the railing, looking at Wei Chenggong: "Brother Wei, you must do it."
Wei Chenggong, who was still in high spirits just now, heard Jiang Yu'er's words, but he was a little deflated all of a sudden, he adjusted his body and stood facing the camp, "But, do you know what I saw at night?"
Jiang Yu'er looked at Wei Chenggong, then at Fang Aniu and Xu Nian, and the three of them all leaned towards Wei Chenggong.
"Pei Chao's military discipline is sloppy! The army I saw in Zhenjiang County was so majestic, but what I saw tonight was a group of soldiers from the world," Wei Chenggong said fiercely.
"No, isn't it all new recruits here, so it's just a little loose, isn't Brother Wei a little sensitive", Xu Nian said hurriedly.
"Yes, most of the recruits here, but there are also some veterans of management, and they are taking the lead in messing around," Wei Chenggong said.
Jiang Yu'er and the three of them were a little surprised, looking at Wei Chenggong and not knowing what to say.
Two hours ago, Wei Chenggong and Wu Debao came to this area, and the two carefully inspected the fence facilities in this area according to the requirements, and carefully inspected and inspected. Wei Chenggong watched the entire camp slowly shrouded in night, and the star-like torches burned, with a rare sense of heroism. But just as he was intoxicated, he realized that something was wrong.
This barracks is divided into two parts, the barracks and the school grounds. Near the entrance to the barracks is the camp tent for the officers and veterans, and inside is the camp for the recruits.
After the sky was completely dark, the school area was almost completely pitch black, only a few torches were flickering sporadically, and there were patrolling soldiers, that is, Wei Chenggong and them. There were also several patrols in the south area of the school field.
Wei Chenggong looked at the camp area opposite, the tents of the recruits were almost quiet, and sporadic fires could be faintly seen. On the other hand, the veterans' tents were all lit up, and the sound of frolicking could be heard, but after the night, the frolicking sound was even louder, and many people could be seen carrying the wine jar.
Wei Chenggong moved closer and saw what shocked him. In the tent, some people are playing with money; Someone is drinking and punching; Some people are dressed like women and make coquettish movements, and the people around them drink and laugh; In the largest tent in this barracks, Jiang Shou and Jiang Duwei were sitting around a roast sheep with a few Tun Wei, and some soldiers were moving wine jars inside, and several people were eating meat and drinking wine, so happy.
When Wei Chenggong was stunned, Cao Yan shook his body and walked out of the camp tent, and saw Wei Chenggong who was stunned in the distance, he squinted his eyes and walked towards Wei Chenggong, Wei Chenggong found that someone was walking towards him, and saw that the person was Cao Yan, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, Cao Yan was in a drunken state, did not catch up, and urinated on the school field and returned to the camp tent.
Wei Chenggong, who returned to the patrol area, told Wu Debao what he saw, and Wu Debao angrily scolded, but fortunately, the place where they were located was some distance from the camp area, and no one heard it.
After that, Wei Chenggong kept a gloomy face, often looking at the veteran barracks tent area in a daze. In the middle, a veteran who was in charge of patrolling at night came to check, and he didn't have a good face, the veteran knew why Wei Chenggong and they were arranged to patrol in this area, thinking that they were still bored, just smiled coldly, and left after a few words. Until the ugly time, Wu Debao went back and called Jiang Yuer and the three of them to change shifts.
Wei Chenggong calmly finished talking to Jiang Yu'er about what he saw at night, and then leaned against the railing and looked at the moon in the sky. After listening to what Wei Chenggong said, Jiang Yu'er and the three of them went from surprise to dazed, and then they looked at each other at a loss.
"So, I want to ask you, why did you come to be a soldier? Wei Chenggong retracted his gaze and asked.
"I, I, my family is poor, this recruitment, the salary for the recruitment of soldiers is there, there are twenty, twenty taels", Fang Aniu stammered and said.
"Brother Fang, this is a good reason, so you shouldn't feel too sad to see this", Wei Chenggong smiled.
"My father wants me to get married, but I don't like that girl, I just saw the Shenji Army entering the city, I left a letter for the family and ran over", Xu Nian said leisurely, "To be honest, I was attracted by the spirit of the Shenji Army, Brother Wei, what you said makes me very sad."
Wei Chenggong looked at Xu Nian, smiled the same, did not speak, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Yu'er.
"I'm the same as Xu Nian, I'm also from Qingshui County, and after I saw the Shenji Army enter the city, I came", Jiang Yu'er saw Wei Chenggong looking at him, and hurriedly said, this reason was thought of before he came to the barracks, and he knew that someone would definitely ask.
"But, Brother Wei, this shouldn't be the overall situation of the Pei Dynasty's army, we have a high sky here, the emperor is far away, the army management is a little looser, and it's normal, maybe other armies are not like this, the army in Kyoto will definitely not be like this, Brother Wei, are you thinking too much", Jiang Yu'er actually knew the problem of the Pei Dynasty's army, and when Miki heard the conversation between Zhang Qian and Chen Zhiyuan that night, he knew. It's just that he didn't expect it to be so serious, and he was a little depressed when he saw a few people, so he had to make his words a little rounder, after all, it was the first day of joining the army, and if he lost his heart all of a sudden, he didn't want to face a few bitter gourd faces every day in the future.
"Yes, yes, maybe outside, the army outside will, okay, much better", Fang Aniu also hurriedly echoed.
"Brother Wei, maybe you really think too much", Xu Nian also said.
Wei Chenggong looked at the three of them and smiled, "Maybe, I hope it's the same as what you said." Then let's watch together, and hope we're not in the wrong place."
"Three brothers, you worked hard in the second half of the night, I'll go back and rest", Wei Chenggong walked towards the new barracks after speaking, walked a few steps and then turned back and smiled: "Several, don't be affected by me, maybe I do think too much, let's wait and see."
Jiang Yu'er and the three of them nodded hurriedly, and Wei Chenggong turned around with a smile and disappeared into the night.
