After all, Yan Zheng has served for two years and three months, if he spends the rest of the time peacefully in the kitchen of the eighth guard, then he will be able to receive a lot of money to go home in another year and nine months, this time is not long or short, it is enough to happen a lot of things and produce a lot of changes, so now even Yan Zheng himself doesn't know what he thinks, how he should go next, he just wants to do the work in front of him well, and live every day as fully as possible.

During this time, Yan Zheng concentrated on his work, almost every day was the kitchen, dormitory, and martial arts arena, not to mention going out to see, and he hadn't even been to some places in the Eighth Guardhouse, such as the workshop for smelting and repairing weapons and equipment and the quiet room where only monks were allowed to enter the cultivation, but, in fact, when the task of guarding the border was not heavy or when the festival was celebrated, the border army could take leave and go out to nearby towns, but Yan Zheng never wanted to go out.

It happens that the day of celebrating the establishment of the dynasty is approaching, that is, the folk commonly known as the Tianzuo Festival, this festival has a long history, and it was accepted by the general public as an official festival soon after the establishment of the Dalin Dynasty, in the festival that lasts for three days, not only the emperor will hold an incomparably grand blessing celebration, the emperor will also come to the altar of the earth, preside over the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth, and pray for the emperor to bless the dynasty with eternal prosperity, and ordinary people can temporarily unload the burden of life and rest comfortably for three days, Enjoy the beauty of life and the peace and joy that the dynasty brings them.

The Eighth Guard Station on the northern border is also full of lively atmosphere, the generals led the soldiers to make simple decorations for the houses, the food sent by the Internal Affairs Office is much better than usual, there are sheep grazing in the pastures of the vast grasslands in the west, and the fishermen of the East China Sea go out to catch the fish, and even the precious sugar produced by the southwest province has been transported thousands of miles away, it can be said that everything is everything, Yan Zheng and the veterans working in the kitchen are almost all dispatched, It took two whole days to move the food that even the convoy had been carrying for several days to the storehouse, and the whole warehouse was so stuffed with food from all over the country that I couldn't wait to get anything falling out when I opened the door.

Originally, Yan Zheng planned to stay in the kitchen to cook for the soldiers, because the three-day festival is indispensable for celebration banquets, and there is a lot of work to be done, and the people who stay will definitely be very hard, Yan Zheng feels that he has only been here for three months, and he is far from being qualified to rest, but the veterans who work with him think that he has passed the three-month recruitment period, and they all persuade him to go out and relax and relax.

After all, he hasn't rested for a day in the past three months, and the time that everyone usually uses to rest is used to practice exercises and exercise his body, everyone is afraid that he will have mental problems sooner or later if he continues like this, and the time to go out is only one day, and he can't delay much, and his work will naturally be helped by others, Lao Lu also nodded and agreed, and couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm, Yan Zheng had to agree, and said that he would definitely bring everyone delicious food back when he went out.

Sitting in the carriage back and forth between Qingguan Town and the Eighth Guard, Yan Zheng's mentality has been very different from when he was captured by the Inspector Yushi, he went from the struggle and confusion when he first crossed over, the fear of surviving under strange conditions, and then to the guilt after witnessing the sacrifice of all his comrades, and the fear of identity and the discovery of Red Sha Bodhi when he was interrogated, slowly turned into a calm and calm attitude of adapting to the new world and adapting to the life of the army, and mingling with his comrades-in-arms and brothers around him, and at the same time, his strength continued to improve, People are becoming more and more confident.

The golden morning sun gradually brightens the sky in the distance, the clouds stained with gold float in the distance, like a piece of cut brocade, although the Qingguan town located on the border is not as brilliant as the imperial capital, but the lanterns are always indispensable, the streets are full of traffic, the crowd is bustling, the shops have opened early, the restaurants are all in the market, a prosperous scene.

Although the veteran told him before, but Yan Zheng is still relatively unfamiliar with Qingguan Town, seeing the prosperous scene in front of him, there was some surprise for a while, under the leadership of several veterans, Yan Zheng walked into the street, into the crowd of people, those veterans have been here for six or seven years, they are very familiar with Qingguan Town, and naturally know where to have fun.

Life in the army is not full of dangers, for example, some veterans who are responsible for logistics and equipment production and maintenance have never carried out the task of exploring the secluded world, and their days in the army are much longer, many people will choose to find a suitable girl to marry in the local area, or choose to bring their relatives from their hometown together, after all, being in the army can cut a lot of taxes, do small business, plus military salaries, it is not a problem to buy a residence in Qingguan Town, and life is also enjoyable.

The veteran first took Yan Zheng to play a technical batting, as the name suggests, it is a kind of ball played with a stick, it is a bit like ice hockey, the physical collision is more intense, the rules are the same as football, as long as the round ball is hit into the opponent's door, and the goal is suspended in mid-air, it is really not easy to hit it, Yan Zheng has a lot of strength, and his skills are a lot worse, and he has been hit several times by skilled veterans in a row, and successfully served as a background board.

After playing, a few people sweated, bought a few glasses of rice wine with ice cubes on the roadside stall to quench their thirst, they drank while walking, but after a while they walked to the depths of the street, a six-story small building with carved beams and paintings appeared in front of several people, Yan Zheng didn't know what this house was for at first, the architect's professional habits made him take a closer look, he felt that the originality of the design of this small building was that it was difficult to escape in case of a fire.

It wasn't until he saw the teasing smiles on the faces of the veterans and the few flowery women who walked out of the small building that he realized what he was doing here, maybe he had been in the guard for too long, he almost forgot that the world he was in was a feudal dynasty, and the dross of these feudal dynasties would inevitably have in this world, and he naively thought that the veterans would take him to take a bath, after all, taking a bath on the weekend was one of the few ways for him to relax, but he didn't expect to be brought to this kind of place.

Let those veterans toss, he can clean himself, Yan Zheng took a shower neatly, changed into soft and light silk pajamas, there were already veterans in the boudoir who gave him a good young girl, the girl was born with a beautiful and graceful appearance, but an indelible frown between her eyebrows and eyes exposed the fear in her heart, Yan Zheng suspected that she might not even be an adult.

"What's your name and can you sing?" Yan Zheng asked her.

The girl raised her head and replied a little timidly: "The little girl's name is Lu Qiong, and she has learned a few songs from the musicians in the city. ”

"Then just sing a song and listen to it." Yan Zheng said.

"Don't the officials want a little maid to wait? Before I came, my mother specially told me that the official was a military master, and that I should wait for my life, otherwise I would break my legs. The more the girl spoke, the quieter her voice became, as if she was afraid of making Yan Zheng angry, "Is there anything that the local officials don't like about the little girl?" Or does the official dislike the little girl and won't wait too rusty? ”

"There's nothing I don't like about you, I'm just not used to it, I'll tell my mother to let her not punish you, you just sing." Yan Zheng walked over and touched her head, the girl's delicate body was subconsciously tensed because of Yan Zheng's touch, but then seeing that Yan Zheng did not make further movements, her smaller body gradually relaxed again, the girl's hair was very soft and felt very good, so that Yan Zheng couldn't help but touch it a few more times.

She was just a child, but she was sent to such a place, Yan Zheng suddenly remembered the "Yangzhou Thin Horse" she had seen before, she bought girls from poor families with outstanding looks at a very low price, taught them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, and when she grew up, she sold it into the Qinlou Chu Pavilion at a price of 1,000 taels of silver or made a concubine for the rich, making huge profits from it, I don't know how much the girl in front of her was sold by her parents? What kind of suffering did you go through?

Yan Zheng walked to the window and pushed open the window, looking at the endless flow of people outside, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this world is so big, he can't do it to protect himself, and now he actually has pity for a girl who met in Pingshui, even if he really has the courage to change the dynasty, with his strength alone, even if he lives forever, it is difficult to do it, and what he can do is nothing more than to protect the cherished things around him.

"If the officials are willing to listen, then the little girl will be ugly." Seeing that Yan Zheng was no longer speechless, the girl bowed to him with Nana, cleared her throat, and then began to sing.

"A gust of wind and rain came late, washing away the flames~ Rationalize the sheng spring, but make light makeup on the rhombus ~"

"The thin ice skin is shining, the snow is greasy and crispy~ Laughing Tanlang: Tonight's yarn kitchen pillow is cool~"

The girl's voice is tactful, emotional and complaining, it is the words of cloud and rain, but it makes people feel sad after listening to it, Yan Zheng only understood the lyrics, which means that the wife takes the initiative to express her love to her husband, but he doesn't really care what the girl sings, he just enjoys the leisure of listening to the music.

After the song, the girl stopped, she got up from the chair, and walked to Yan Zheng's side, Yan Zheng was different from the guests she was waiting for before, not only did not treat her roughly, but showed full patience and gentleness, which made her heart inexplicably good.

The girl looked at Yan Zheng's side face in a daze, Yan Zheng's appearance was not suave, and he could even be said to be completely unrecognizable when thrown into the crowd, but his tempered face was angular, and his dark eyes shone brightly under the sunlight.
