Xiao Xiaoen's unintentional question was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the soldiers with spears in the back row frowned, as if they had unspeakable grievances.

Jiang Cheng noticed the abnormality, and in order to soothe everyone's emotions, he deliberately smiled: "How can there be a soldier who doesn't endure hardship." Since the deputy regiment commander arranged for everyone to practice running and marksmanship in this meeting, it must also be for the sake of strengthening the soldiers. ”

Ma Heizi sighed deeply and said: "Although it is true that our artillery regiment is firing cannons, it is not a secret, many of our weapons have been taken away by the Ning family's forces, and now there is only one cannon left, a small cannon, and in addition to this, they are all spears and grenades, alas...... The three of you seem to have traveled a long way, so you can't be tired, so go to the tent over there to rest and drink some hot tea, which was given to us by the local people. ”

"As far as I know, in a unit like yours, the common people will have less support, and they usually like to rub the common people's oil, how can they take the initiative to send you things. ”

Hei Lin grabbed Xiao En's ear and dragged him to his side: "Don't listen to him, you all, this person will talk nonsense." ”

I didn't expect Ma Heizi to smile heartily.

"He's talking about the Ning family's forces, right? Ning Xian is okay, that second young master Ning Rong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be curious. It is said that the Xiao family's forces are confronted by the Ning family's forces, and he doesn't know how dire it is now.

"Let's go into the tent and we'll talk to you while we eat. ”

The group followed Ma Heizi to a nearby tent. Looking up and down, there is actually some yurt fun. The beds inside are also neatly made.

"In the past, I helped the ethnic minorities to let go of the horses, and the things in these tents would be set up, so I handed over to these soldiers and did them one by one, but now not only is it warm, but our facilities are also very well protected inside, and when the building is repaired, you can move in directly. ”

The deputy head of the regiment, Ma Heizi, drank tea and ordered them to eat pastries, although the table was only two or three feet high, but it was wide enough to seat a dozen people, and there were a number of small plates and bowls on it.

"The big tent can accommodate about a dozen people, and the small tent can accommodate seven or eight people. You see these foods, this is the food of the day, and sometimes we are busy, so we eat two meals a day. The cook does more every time, for fear that we won't be able to eat enough, but if we are training, how can we go for a run with a lot of food, and we are reluctant to eat more. In the morning, we set some on the table, and when we came back from the training in the afternoon, the cook came in to help us heat it up again, and then eat it again, and then drink some milk or some vegetable leaf soup in the evening, which was also given to us by the local people. But I'm embarrassed to always take it from them, and some families are particularly difficult. Sometimes we get some military cans that are distributed to us, and we distribute some to the common people, and they are very excited, saying that we miss them. In this way, I made friends with some local villagers, which is not bad. ”

After a cup of tea, the deputy head of the regiment, Ma Heizi, became more and more excited and gushed endlessly.

"Maybe I saw Brother Heilin today, and I'm more happy, such a big hero, come to our place, do we want to welcome it together. Come, brothers, replace wine with tea, and toast Brother Heilin with a glass!"

As he spoke, he got up and picked up his bowl of tea, and the other soldiers followed suit.

Hei Lin scratched his head embarrassedly: "What kind of hero, the bear is almost the same, that is, your artillery regiment still welcomes me, I didn't know which team I ran to last time, and people actually regarded me as a lonely ghost, saying that I had been shot by the devil a long time ago." ”

"That's because we're going through the same situation, so you can stay with us, and then we'll have a chance to fire a cannon together in the future and hit a bunch of devils. ”

Ma Heizi said with sadness, and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's a pity that my cannons, the things I am most proud of, are now in the hands of others." ”

"Then can't you find a way to win them back?

"What's the use of thinking, they came with official documents, the documents that were opened to them above, stamped with seals, and they drove the cannon away, and I didn't know much literacy, I only recognized stamps, I didn't know so many documents, and my assistant next to me said that there was such a thing. I think I also made a great contribution at the beginning, survived to the current position, and now I am busy making up classes, and I have hired a teacher to be in our artillery regiment. Otherwise, you will suffer a dumb loss in the future, and you won't even be able to read the documents. ”

"What else do you want to teach, Mr. Jiang, Young Master Jiang is proficient in Wenwen Taowu and martial arts, so he can teach you." ”

When the deputy regiment commander heard Hei Lin say this, he hurriedly looked at Young Master Jiang, and saw that this person was very particular about drinking tea, holding the tea bowl in one hand, tasting it slowly, stretching out one hand, picking up a thin slice of snack in front of him with two fingers, and slowly putting it into his mouth, instead of eating and drinking like his soldiers.

Ninh House.

The old gentleman instructed the little servant to follow him into his room to look for medicine, and then came back, frowning again.

"There's a medicine here, it's hard to find, and I haven't found it in my room. ”

Ning Xian: "It's not a big problem to be less blind, what is it?" ”

"This medicine is simply a rare thing in the world. It is a kind of medicinal herb that grows in the north, which is relatively rare here, and it is only found in the windy and cold pagoda temple. ”

Ning Rong said angrily: "With such an exaggeration, is there nothing else that can replace it?"

Ning Xian pondered and said, "The temple should not be far from here, I can let my entourage ride a fast horse to fetch it." ”

"The eldest young master, the second young master, you don't know, this herb is grown on the top of the pagoda, if it is in the northern woods, you can dig it, but we don't have that kind of extreme cold here, so this kind of medicine also grows in a high place, surrounded by cold winds, the more lush it grows. ”

Zhao Yuyan deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and got up pale and weak: "Young Master, don't look for this medicine for me." ”

The old gentleman hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao, you don't know, this medicine, you and the eldest young master have to take it, after all, one of you is the same poison, this herb fights poison with poison, and there is not much harm, if you really can't take it, you can only use a scorpion instead, but it is very dangerous, so I recommend using this herb." ”
