The old man and the woman went on a date every once in a while, Liu Bancheng pretended not to know, this irregular law has become a daily expectation of Liu Bancheng.

Until one day, this rule was finally broken.

On this morning, the old man was not there, and he had never seen the woman go out, and when the operation team dispersed, Liu Bancheng came to the east wing and tried to knock lightly on the brown paper window.

There was no movement inside.

After knocking again, there was still no movement.

Liu Bancheng gently pushed open the door, the house was empty, touched the bed, it was cold, the old man didn't come back to live last night?

Liu Bancheng was hesitating when he heard someone pull the door knocker.

"Half-way, half-way, Liu halfway, please open the door!"

Yes! It was Kim Zo's sudden visit.

Jin Suo's expression was uncertain, and he looked very anxious.

"Halfway, these days, the bell will be ringed by Mr. Zhang for you, you are about to go on a business trip!"

"Business trip, where, when!"

"Let's leave now and go to the Haiphong camp!"

"What task?"

"Yang Yong of your Xiangcanteen is killed, you have to accompany Mrs. Jingxue to the front line to condole!"

How could Yang Yong be killed, why did Mrs. Jingxue go to comfort him, and what is their relationship?

You must know that Mrs. Jingxue is King Liang's favorite concubine! For such a high-level figure, it is inappropriate to send a bell-ringing escort to go, right?

Jin Suo said impatiently, "Yang Yong and the more than 1,000 soldiers who were on duty there for training were all shipwrecked, Yang Yong was just one of them, Mrs. Jingxue went to express her condolences on behalf of the imperial court, and Mrs. named you to accompany you!" ”

Yang Yong, as an important training object, died unexpectedly.

That's a good buddy who carried it together in the most difficult time of the Xiang Canteen.

Here Lady Jingxue named herself again. Liu Bancheng was quickly digesting the sudden information.

Yang Yong's accident is really unbelievable.

Because since he left the Xiang Dining Hall, he has not let go of the people and things there. He learned that after Yang Yong arrived at the frontier, he trained very hard, grew and progressed rapidly, and in less than a year, he had been promoted from the chief logistics officer of the border defense battalion to the deputy general of the battalion.

In order to enrich his experience in multiple arms, the lieutenant asked a group of generals like Yang Yong to undergo cross-service training and practice in the coastal defense battalion.

As for why a pillar of the country has been a chef in Xiangcantang for so many years, Liu Bancheng has never understood it, and no one can explain it clearly.

As for why he let himself accompany him, Liu Bancheng can only think that there is a relationship between himself and Yang Yong, and there is no other explanation.

Before leaving, the tall and big-mouthed lieutenant said to Liu Bancheng alone, "You, you must take care of my sister, try not to let her lose control of her emotions, if you have any requirements, let's communicate in time." ”

He also said, "I believe that King Liang can meet the wishes of the families of the victims, and I believe that our Liang Congress will have a satisfactory explanation for each family member of the victims, so that the deceased can rest in peace." ”

The mighty Taiwei is the highest military general in the Liang State, but at this time he is a little too childlike.

Thinking about it, it is rare for such a tall military general to be able to say such heart-warming words, at least it shows that this person has a conscience.

In this country that treats people like mustards, it is really rare.

In this way, Liu Bancheng protected Mrs. Jingxue, followed by guards in a carriage, and six or seven hundred people set off in a mighty manner.

Liu halfway sat in the first car, and there was an entourage in front to lead the way.

Madame Jingxue was in the second carriage, accompanied by two palace maids.

The convoy traveled day and night.

Mrs. Jingxue asked to eat during the march, and the people stopped.

This can make Liu Bancheng busy.

Fortunately, he had the experience of accompanying the catering guarantee before the crossing, and he had made enough orders in advance and asked Lin Zongren of the Xiangcantang to prepare them overnight.

Lin Zongren received a list written by Liu Bancheng, and of course he was reluctant to be dominated by those who were degraded by him. However, due to the majesty of Mrs. Jingxue, she can only laugh with her and let the plum blossoms prepare.

There are two types of food prepared, one is high-end and more refined, with dried fruits, dry food, and fruits that can be peeled without washing hands, such as oranges and bananas, filled two large boxes, and behind the seats were filled with grape juice and carrot juice, which were loaded into Mrs. Jingxue's car in sealed jars. In addition, there are also altars and jars for the wife and two entourages that are convenient to travel in the car.

The other is the ordinary grade, the dry food and water used by Liu Bancheng and his entourage on the road, which can be eaten immediately. Of course, if this part of the people wants to be convenient, or if they really can't hold back, they can only be convenient everywhere in their entourage.

In fact, if you take a plane to Haiphong Camp, the distance is not very far, only two or three hours of travel.

But the chariots and horses did not arrive until the eighth day.

Among these, Liu Bancheng has never seen Mrs. Jingxue.

It may be that people's identities are expensive, and they don't want people to see their faces, which is understandable.

When the condolence procession arrived at the boundary marker of the Haiphong camp, there was already a contingent of guards waiting for Haiphong, and they took Mrs. Jingxue to another trailer, and the convoy continued to march.

The guards accompanying him on horseback told Liu Bancheng, "In the past two days, we have special people on duty here!" ”

Liu Bancheng saw that the guards were holding two lists with the names and positions of the victims' families.

The guard also introduced, "There are still 23 kilometers from the Haiphong camp to the accident site, which is the mouth of the Haiphong camp, and the front is also the intersection of the sea areas of Yan and Liang. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is named Cinnabar Port! ”

Liu Bancheng thought to himself, Cinnabar Port, what a place name with strong military color.

The guard also said, "In the past few days, thousands of family members have come to mourn one after another, living in Longshagang and Laogu Village, and some family members are staying in Cinnabar Port."

There are about 10,000 people in Cinnabar Port, but there are not many locals, most of them are Haiphong soldiers and their families.

Most of them are bungalows, and there are signs such as military scenic spots everywhere.

The atmosphere in the entire cinnabar port seems to be very depressing, and all the businesses on the street are closed.

The guards told Liu Bancheng, "One is to prevent the dead bodies from having nowhere to be placed, worrying about the plague, and the other is that there is such a big accident, how can they still buy and trade normally?" ”

Jing Xuefu didn't say a word along the way, according to his entourage, he just shed tears and didn't say anything.

The accompanying guard was obviously a chatter, and the sad atmosphere did not affect his story, "It has been more than ten years, and this is the first time that so many people have died at once in an environment without war. That's more than 1,000 lives, they are all the backbone and business elites of the army of the Great Liang State! ”

Yes, Liu Bancheng does feel sorry for them.

Earlier, Liu Bancheng saw that there were already guards standing guard at the door of the bungalow where the families of the victims were being treated, and they were all equipped with military doctors.

Outside the tents were plastered with signs to prevent the plague.

The guard reminded Liu Bancheng, "Don't expand the scope of your activities on this trip, and implement closed management here." ”

Liu Bancheng's mood has always been very heavy, nodded in agreement, and conveyed it to the entourage.

After the group of people who came to offer condolences arrived at Cinnabar Port, Mrs. Jingxue was picked up by the military general, and Liu Bancheng only saw a back.

However, Mrs. Jingxue's back made Liu Bancheng very curious.

I felt that this Mrs. Jingxue's body shape and walking posture were so familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her for a while.

So, after the group arrived at their destination, the service guards of Cinnabar Port made a common tiger token for each family member, and Liu Bancheng was arranged to be placed in a single room in the innermost part of a bungalow.

Others, living in tents in the compound.

In the evening, it is a large pot of rice, which is a buffet suitable for modern people, with 10 dishes such as green peppers and eggs, as well as staple foods such as steamed buns, flower rolls, and rice.

The next day, special personnel from the Haiphong battalion came to ask for the opinions of the families and asked them what they needed.

It is said that the Liang State was killed this time, and there were many officers and soldiers in Xuyangcheng, and 280 of the more than 1,000 people were sent by Xuyangcheng.

Because the impact of this accident was relatively large, the next day, Lao Liang Wang also went to the Haiphong camp to personally understand the situation.

It is said that he also went down to every cabin of the wrecked warship, carefully observed the battle positions of each soldier, and asked about the relevant details in detail.

It was not easy for the highest governor of Liang Guo to listen to the opinions of various quarters extensively, hold discussions with the generals of the Haiphong battalion and relevant family members, and analyze the causes of the current situation together.

It is said that when meeting with the families of the victims, King Liang shed tears.

Later, according to the local people, April and May are the seasons when the weather changes more frequently, and they have made statistics that from winter to next summer, there will often be winds above level 7, about 100 days.

Liu Bancheng remembered his brother Yang Yong, who should have been shipwrecked on this warship in this season.

The guard and Liu Bancheng faced the warship in front of them, and he said,

"This kind of warship is different from a ship on the water."

"The life of the warship soldiers is very boring, they travel and train, generally have to take one to two months, due to the limited space, the living supply is very strict, especially the water, each person can only drink half a jar of fresh water every day, the bunk of the warship is only less than half a meter wide, and there is no equipment to regulate the air in the bedroom, in this case life for dozens of days, it is really a test for people!"

At the end of the accident, Captain Liang Guo announced that the victim was determined to be a meritorious hero of Liang Guo, and the general with the highest status in the coastal defense battalion also stated that the aftermath must be carried out to the satisfaction of the family.

In other words, the room where Liu Bancheng lived, looking out from the window was the beach bathing beach, and at night, the tide had receded, and several family members of the victims put bananas, apples, and liquor on the beach, burned yellow paper, and the cries of the dead blended into the sea breeze.

In front of them are two peaks, one high and one low, facing each other from the sea, extending to the horizon, guarding the long coastline of the Liang Kingdom and the tranquility of the sea frontier, the sunset on the sea, the fishing song is singing late, and the sound of the waves on the shore is like a war drum for thousands of miles.

In fact, accompanying Mrs. Jingxue to come here to pay respects, Liu Bancheng's mood has always been very heavy, on the one hand, he is reluctant to let his brother Yang Yong leave, and on the other hand, he is worried about the uncertainty of the fate of those elites of Liang State, the uncertainty of life, and the uncertainty of the security of Liang State's coastal defense.

As a member of the Liang people, if you die on the training ground where you chase me, or die on the battlefield with real swords and guns, it is worthy of pride and glory, and Chef Yang Yong died not in the kitchen, nor on the battlefield, but in an accident, which is really sad.

It is said that the cause of this accident is still very vague, and the fact that Liang Guo blocked the outside world, and the level of the officials who handled this incident is said to be very high.

Liu Bancheng silently headed to the northwest, let Chef Yang Yong rest in peace!
