Chaotianguan, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, the eighth Liao Chonghai and the fourth Li Yihuan stood in the courtyard, and on the stone bench in front of them sat the young man who came back from the grassland and was full of injuries, but at this moment the young man lost his perseverance and determination against the enemy in the grassland, and his washed face was full of sorrow and tears.

Liao Chonghai squeezed his eyebrows and made eyes for Li Yihuan beside him, but he had to roll his eyes one after another. "Oh, I'll say it bluntly, Xun'er, you're full of injuries, hurry up and lie on the bed, it's windy in the yard, it's not suitable" Liao Chonghai has a straightforward personality but is not stupid, after speaking, he glared at Li Yihuan and hinted vigorously, there is a posture that if you don't make a move, I will scare you to death with my mouth.

Li Yihuan still rolled his eyes, but he finally persuaded him, still in a soft and gentle tone, "Xun'er is good, the wounds all over my body are cold, and it is a lifetime to fall into the root of the disease and hurt my body, hurry up and go back to the house."

The tears on the young Chen Xun's face were not dry, and he choked up, and the words of the two failed to move him in the slightest. It's not that he didn't listen to the words of the two uncles, but that he couldn't move like a boulder in his heart.

The young man looked at the sky from afar, and thought that the sky of the grassland was also blue, the same as the current Chaotian Pass, and even bluer than the sky of Chaotian Pass. Sometimes, although the enemy army will come, there is no day of fighting, and he and his brothers in the battalion prefer to lie on the grass and look at the blue sky, and talk about the days to come.

In those days, there was the restaurant business after the little grasshopper retired and returned to his hometown, the life of an officer who was promoted by Wang Dazhuang, and the laughter of the captain who went home to teach his son.... At this time, everyone shouted for Chen Xun, the youngest in the team, to talk about his thoughts.

The boy actually likes to hide secretly and listen to the crowd chat silly every time, and at that time, he didn't know why the final topic would come back to him, but every time his answer was the same sentence "I want to go to more places when I have a chance in the future". And everyone's reaction ended with laughter every time. Little grasshopper, Wang Dazhuang, Xu Sanzi, Brother Zhu, captain Zhangtou... The brothers in these camps, the robes they had eaten and slept with for the past two years, have now remained on the grassland.

The young man still remembers that night before the war, the little grasshopper talked about waiting for the future to be rich, so he went back to his hometown of Longzhou, Guannei, and opened a big restaurant in the county town of his hometown. Then ask a decent shopkeeper to help you manage your business, and you will go to Jiangnan Road to take a look at Xu Sanzi, and by the way, you will strive to turn a daughter-in-law back with a good spirit, and when the time comes, I can't say how beautiful it is.

This provoked everyone to laugh, and Xu Sanzi leaned back and forth with laughter, "Okay, you little grasshopper, you go to see me fake, it's true to find our Jiangnan daughter-in-law." The little grasshopper's already thin and black face was red for a while, and the black and red face seemed to be coated with rouge under the bonfire at night, so it was not funny.

"Little grasshopper, do you know how much it costs to open a restaurant in the county town? also opened a big restaurant in the county town, melon baby, hahahaha"

Wang Dazhuang's dialect is very distinctive, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone laughed again. However, the little grasshopper was obviously familiar with this situation for a long time, and he was not frightened, and it was extremely natural to argue, "The county town can't be opened, then I'm in the county, anyway, this delicious building, I'm open." In the future, it will be bigger, and then it will be opened to the county town, and then it will be opened to other counties, and in the future, you will go to Kannai Road, no matter which county, and when you get to the delicious building, when you mention my little grasshopper, I will keep it for you for free, how about it? ”

Brother Zhu got up and patted his buttocks, and knocked on the head of the little grasshopper, "You turtle son, there are quite a lot of flowers in your head." I wish that my brother's strength is very strong, and the general bow can be full in his hand, and this fierce beating made the little grasshopper stumble and almost fall into a dog and eat.

"Captain, look, the old pig, he bullied me again" The little grasshopper hugged his head and hid to the side, making a grimace at Brother Zhu. Zhu Lao Ge turned around and was ready to return to the account, and when he heard the words of the little grasshopper "Lao Pig", he turned around with a hammer "You turtle son, how many times has Lao Tzu told you, Lao Tzu's surname is Zhu, not a pig".

The little grasshopper wailed for a while, and finally let the bearded captain open his head and speak, and wished the old brother to let him go.

"Looking for a child? Looking for a child? Li Yihuan gently put on the young man's coat, and when he saw that the young man was becoming more and more indifferent, he couldn't help but speak. He is distressed by the young man in front of him, and he has not had the slightest contact for two years, but goodbye has changed dramatically with the young man in his impression. Thinking back to the battle on the grassland, although the previous teenagers were stubborn, they did not have such determination and perseverance. Such a change is a good thing from the identity of a teenager, but the price of this growth is too huge.

The young Chen Xun's memories were interrupted, and he turned his head to the fourth and eighth uncles beside him and smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine...."

Xingdi Capital, Chang'an. This is a majestic city that has been unparalleled for nearly 100 years. Occupy a place for thousands of miles, the city wall is dozens of zhang high, the three cities inside and outside are staggered and orderly, and the number of merchants who come and go every day is tens of thousands.

Outside the city, there are rows of shops and stalls, and there is an endless stream of people, and every street shop is overcrowded before the end of the year. The storyteller who had that good thing said that before the end of the year, Jing Zhao Yin alone dealt with hundreds of street frictions and disputes caused by large crowds every day.

Midtown is relatively quiet and is home to high-ranking officials and wealthy people. Although it is not noisy compared to the outer city, there is no lack of horse-drawn carriages running, and people come and go with each other. As for the inner city, it is the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven in the mouth of the people in Chang'an City.

Today, an eight-hundred-mile rush flew into the imperial city, like a stone being thrown into the calm lake, starting from the inner city, causing ripples one after another. Within a day, the ripples were stormy again.

At the beginning, there were only people with smart ears and eyes in the market who rumored that the Daxing Northwest Army had suffered a defeat and was beaten badly by the steppe barbarians, but it never spread because there was no real evidence. But only half a day later, there was news from the root of the imperial city, His Majesty the Emperor Daxing was furious, and the civil and military officials knelt down from the Taiji Hall to the Chengtianmen at the entrance of the palace.

Is the news on the root of the imperial city reliable? Lao Chang'an, who is in the imperial capital, has a scale in his heart. As far as this news is concerned, it is definitely unreliable. Just kidding, not to mention the Taiji Hall to the Chengtian Gate, just to the gate of the Taiji Palace, just by virtue of those adults in the court, you can kneel full? No, you can't. However, after all, this is gossip from the roots of the imperial city, although there must be an exaggeration, but His Majesty the Emperor's anger is not fake. From this point of view, the news that the Northwest Army suffered a defeat is true.

However, the news of the Northwest Army's defeat alone was enough to shake Chang'an. Daxing established the country with force, leveled the southern wilderness, conquered the western desert, and Zhenbei barbarian, how many years, once the Xingjun came out, the whole world was subdued. And since the Chen family took over the post of general of the world's soldiers and horses, the border of Xingguo has been peaceful for a long time, not to mention the big wars, that is, the smoke is rarely lit. So now that I heard that the Northwest Army was defeated, the market was shaken for a while, and I couldn't help but inquire about more details.

Of course, it was not only Chang'an that was shaken, as rumored, in that majestic and magnificent imperial palace, Long Yan was furious.
