Chapter 561: Reasons for Coming to the Border
Soon, Bai Dazhuang and his party were led to a resting place.
Meng Zhixu's personal guards brought them tea, wine, and food.
It was rumored throughout the camp that a group of villagers from Shenshu Village spontaneously brought food, and General Meng Dazhuang saw Bai Dazhuang's courtesy in his eyes, so everyone had special respect for Bai Dazhuang and his party.
Vice General Chen handed over the wine he was reluctant to drink to the guards, and the other lieutenants even gave up their dry food.
Just to thank Bai Dazhuang and the villagers who transported grain in Shenshu Village.
Bai Dazhuang and the others tied up Helian Liang, and they rushed towards Ningcheng non-stop, without stopping to rest all the way.
I was worried about Rong Guo's meticulous work to rescue Helian Liang.
Hungry nibbles frozen hard steamed buns, thirsty stuffs a handful of snow.
At this time, I was really hungry and hungry, and I couldn't help but swallow when I smelled the smell of food.
"There is no better hospitality because of lack of food." The pro-guard said embarrassedly.
"That's enough!" Bai Dazhuang said.
Although it was not like Bai Dazhuang said that there was a roasted whole sheep in the camp, but they were finally able to drink tea and eat a hot meal, and the young men of Shenshu Village were still very happy.
Everyone didn't care about being polite and gobbled it up.
The people in charge of the shopkeeper and the dart bureau, as well as the guards sent by the prefect, were infected by the people of Shenshu Village, and they also ate it.
After eating, the guards arranged for someone to bring several large buckets of hot water, and Bai Dazhuang and others took a bath and washed their hair.
After so many days without a bath, almost all of them have become mud figures.
Soaked in hot water, coupled with full wine and food, tiredness hit, Bai Dazhuang and the others fell asleep.
Xia Qinghe and You Qingya were arranged elsewhere by Deputy General Chen's daughter-in-law.
Since General Meng was not used to being served by maids, he only had personal guards by his side, so he handed over Xia Qinghe and You Qingya to Vice General Chen's daughter-in-law to arrange.
Mrs. Chen arranged it very properly, arranged the two of them in a clean room of their own house, first let the two of them take a bath, eat and sleep, and then brought their own clean clothes for the two to change.
The two of them ate and drank enough to freshen up, and then turned back to the beautiful girl's house.
Mrs. Chen was amazed and couldn't help but say: "In the end, it is a girl's family in the Central Plains, which is dignified and beautiful." ”
You Qingya touched her face, it was the first time that someone called her and Xia Qinghe beautiful.
"Madame, where are you from?" You Qingya asked.
"My family is in the capital, and I have been following Lao Chen to the border for five or six years, and the wind and snow are heavy here, you see that my skin is rough." Mrs. Chen was very bold and sighed, "You two girls are so powerful, you actually followed those men to the border. ”
Originally, Mrs. Chen thought that Xia Qinghe and You Qingya's man was in the army, so she followed Vice General Chen to come for the man, but later found out that Xia Qinghe might be, but You Qingya was not the case.
The young girl named You Qingya in front of her family actually wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy like a man, and it was said that General Meng had given permission.
Although she is with Vice General Chen at the border, she is a family member, and she can only kill chickens but not enemies.
For the first time in so many years, she saw a woman who took the initiative to go to the battlefield.
Mulan reappeared as belonging to yes.
Therefore, I can't help but admire it in my heart.
"Ma'am, are there any female warriors in our camp?" You Qingya asked.
"There used to be, but not now." Mrs. Chen fell into deep thought and said, "In the past, there was a young female general in our army, who was the sister of General Meng, that is, our current queen mother. By the way, call me sister-in-law in the future, don't call Mrs."
But Mrs. Chen had never seen her when she was a general, and she only followed her mother into the palace at the post-seal ceremony to catch a glimpse from afar. At that time, the queen wore brocade clothes and sat dignified and calm to accept everyone's congratulations, and there was no female general at all.
"That's a pity." You Qingya said.
"Miss You, don't dare to talk nonsense." Mrs. Chen hurriedly interrupted You Qingya and said, "The queen is one person above ten thousand people, not all women have this luck. ”
You Qingya thought, is it luck?
The queen was forced into the cold palace by Concubine Shao Guifei in the palace, and even a remote place like Shenshu Village was spread.
"But Miss Qingya, why do you want to join the army?" Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask.
"I have a lot of strength, I don't want to be allowed by my father and mother." You Qingya said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen was not surprised by this reason, in the end, it was from the township, and at this point there were more choices than the girl's family from a wealthy family in the capital.
The girl's family from a high-ranking family in the capital can't even think of joining the army.
Just like when she married Vice General Chen and came to the border, in the eyes of many people, she was deviant, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy.
"You don't lose to men at all, maybe there will be another female general in our camp in the future." Mrs. Chen smiled heartily.
After asking You Qingya, Mrs. Chen's gaze drifted to Xia Qinghe again.
"By the way, the green sprout girl is going into battle to kill the enemy. What about the Qinghe girl? Why did you come to the border just to transport grain? Mrs. Chen took Xia Qinghe's hand and asked.
Xia Qinghe always felt that since Mrs. Chen knew her name, the fire of gossip in her eyes had not stopped.
"I'm going to stay too, I'll bandage and heal." Xia Qinghe said.
She had already thought it out on the way when she came, and she didn't plan to go back, and she would accompany the army to treat the wounded.
"Sister Qinghe, are you here for Brother Xiaopiao?" Mrs. Chen didn't pay attention to the reason why Xia Qinghe stayed, and asked directly.
Xia Qinghe was startled, and the roots of her ears slowly turned red.
Mrs. Chen smiled, and sure enough, she guessed it.
"What's so shy about this?" Mrs. Chen came to the border with the army, and she didn't hide her whole words.
"You must be wondering why I say that." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Once Brother Xiao Lian was seriously injured and was recuperating at my house, and he called Qinghe's name in a daze, so I guessed it as soon as I saw you." ”
Xia Qinghe blurted out: "Why is he always injured?" Is it serious? ”
Mrs. Chen said, "It's not serious. ”
While he was saying this, Vice General Chen's personal guards reported that Xie Xiaolian and Wu Xiaoying were here.
These two people often come to Vice General Chen's house to eat and drink, and Mrs. Chen is used to it, but Xie Xiaolian must have come over today because of Xia Qinghe.
She didn't think about why Wu Xiaoying came, she must have accompanied Xie Xiaolian.
After the people came in, Mrs. Chen retreated in a witty manner.
She originally wanted to pull You Qingya to the backyard together, but without her hands, You Qingya was called outside by Wu Xiaoying.
Mrs. Chen didn't think it was strange, she thought that Wu Xiaoying was making room for Xie Xiaolian Xia Qinghe.
From the moment he saw Xia Qinghe at the gate of the city, Xie Xiaolian had mixed feelings, if it weren't for dealing with Helian Liang's affairs, he was afraid that he would have already rushed to meet Xia Qinghe.
I wanted to say a lot, but I didn't know what to say when we met.
After a long time, Xia Qinghe opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you always injured?" I just heard from the sister-in-law of the Chen family that you were injured. ”
Xie Xiaolian felt a warm current in his heart, remembering the first time he saw Xia Qinghe lying injured in the mass grave in Nanguan Mountain, and it was Xia Qinghe who helped him bandage it.
"There is no one who goes to war without being injured." Xie Xiaolian smiled.
After the greetings, the two of them suddenly had nothing to say, Xia Qinghe looked at Xie Xiaolian quietly, and Xie Xiaolian's face slowly turned red.
"How did you get here?" Xie Xiaolian suddenly asked.
"Are you happy to see me?" Xia Qinghe didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
