The army traveled all the way to the west, and when it arrived at the state capital, hundreds of officials greeted each other, money and food were prepared, and all of them actively responded. www.biquge.info Since ancient times, the emperor has personally driven, and most of the cities have local official review, therefore, for the locality, opportunities and dangers coexist, and those who are well prepared or really capable will be promoted and reused, and if there is still a bad government, they will be dismissed, and those who are serious will be punished or beheaded, of course, this is also the best time for the officialdom struggle to exclude dissidents.

The emperor went to many places and personally participated in the review of the officials, among whom many were promoted and many officials were flattened. Those who are appreciated will definitely be grateful to the emperor and do their best to become the emperor's loyal force. As for the official position that was dismissed, it was not added soon, which was also deliberately done by the emperor, who wanted to wait for the return from the expedition and then replenish it, so as to cultivate rookies and provide them for his own use. In fact, this is also what Meng Xiaoshan can feel, at the summons in the palace that day, Xiaoshan has already felt the emperor's slight concern, it is nothing more than that the time on the throne is still short, and he urgently needs his own henchmen, including Xiaoshan's expedition, which should also be a kind of emperor cultivating henchmen. Through this expedition, it can be clearly seen that many of them are close relatives of the emperor and guards, who are middle and upper generals in the army, and some are young children of various Houmen official families. And the old ministers and veterans in the court, except for the army that was trapped on the first road, they didn't bring much on this march, even if most of the old ministers they brought were civilian officials.

Autumn is about to be winter, and the weather is just the right time, neither like the scorching sun of summer, nor like the cold wind in winter, it is the best time to march and fight. According to the emperor's intentions, he hoped for a quick victory, and it was best to end the war before the harsh winter, so the army marched outside, except for some pauses in the local state capitals, and most of them marched quickly in the field, without slackening, trying to gain as much time as possible to stay on the battlefield.

At this time, it was the cool autumn night, and the night should have been a cold night when it was impossible to see through, but at this moment, thousands of tents were camped, and thousands of fires were in the barracks. In a certain tent in this army, Meng Xiaoshan was sighing, and he had been distressed in his heart, he didn't know anything about this kind of marching and fighting, so it was very novel at first, but after a long time, he found that he was particularly unhappy, for example: the army must eat when the ton is full, if he is not full, he is hungry and has no place to find; compared to Xiaoshan, although his original world is not a clean bath a day, but it is also washed every two weeks, but this military camp, the bath is free, the water is all precious; the battalion back and forth soldiers patrol the sound of walking, talking and the sound of the horse is noisy, sleep but not live in peace..... All kinds of helplessness came to his heart, Xiaoshan unconsciously remembered the time in college, how good it was at that time, there were only a few classes a day, staying in the dormitory every day, reading an idle book and seeing late at night, going out to pee felt terrible, how chic and happy that kind of life was, Xiaoshan remembered in his heart, and thought, "But, it's a pity that I don't have a girlfriend, alas, who told me that I don't have outstanding appearance or super strength". The man's thoughts were really penetrating, but Xiaoshan thought deeply for a while, his head was propped up on the back of his hand, lying on the low table in the tent, and he unconsciously let out a melancholy sound of "alas, alas, alas,...".

In this tent lit only by oil lamps, Yan'er took advantage of the faint brightness to lightly spread out the lying mat, a big lying mat, spread out, and she had to be careful, otherwise she would accidentally extinguish the oil lamp. In the past few days, she and Xiaoshan have been sleeping at the same table, although the relationship between the two has always been ambiguous, but she found that Meng Xiaoshan is a very decent gentleman, although **, but Xiaoshan has never messed with her, and sometimes covers her with a quilt in the middle of the night, which she found when she pretended to be asleep, and she was very moved at that time. However, what made her feel funny was that once in the night, a "quack, quack...", the sound of gnashing her teeth woke her up, the sound sounded in the camp tent one after another in this dark night, creepy, carefully looking for the source of the sound, she found that Meng Xiaoshan was gritting her teeth, for a while, she thought that Xiaoshan was evil, and hurriedly woke him up, and saw that he woke up and hugged him excitedly, this was the first intimate contact, and later learned through Xiaoshan's bothered explanation that this was an accidental grinding of teeth. Thinking about it now, Yan'er secretly 'poofed' and smiled, and continued to lay out the lying mat, after paving, she raised her eyes and saw Meng Xiaoshan looking at the oil lamp at the low table in a daze, she felt very happy and cherished at this time.

"What's wrong with you?" Hearing Xiaoshan's sigh, Yan'er sat on the reclining seat, stacking the cherry red iron armor and the white flower armor on the side, caring about the authentic way.

"It's nothing, it's just a little boring in this military camp life" Xiaoshan saw Yan'er sitting on the lying seat, taking advantage of the faint light of the oil lamp at night, her body and shadow were together, her pretty face that didn't need to be wiped by rouge flashed a little flush, and her two bright eyes flashed in the oil light, he got up and sat side by side with Yan'er on the lying seat, reaching out to hold Yan'er's thin white hand, not wanting her to worry.

"Yes, Xiaoshan, I miss Xiaoqing" Since Xiaoshan didn't let Yan'er call him 'Meng Shaoxia or Hou Ye', let him be called 'Xiaoshan', Yan'er often used the title 'Xiaoshan', she could feel the friendship from Xiaoshan, and when she heard Xiaoshan's mood, she felt the same way, and missed the days of her uncle's mansion, so she said.

"Well, I miss her too" Xiaoshan pulled Yan'er's fine hand, and said in order to relieve this mood, "I still remember that when I first entered the house, the girl's chin was thin and her eyes were shining, and when we left this time, the girl actually had good facial features, and she looked more and more like a rich child."

"Poof, oh, that's your impression of her! What was your impression of seeing me for the first time?" Yan'er listened, still a little vinegary, and said angrily for a while.

"You, my impression is that you are secretive, very pretending, stinky and beautiful" Xiaoshan recalled the first time he saw him, remembering that he was watching the battle offstage, and many martial arts heroes on the stage were competing, and I still remember that she won the second place in Dajing Martial Arts with a veil, so he smiled.

"You, what? It's smelly and beautiful there, didn't I take off my veil," Yan'er said angrily.

"No!! you must be mistaken, oh, no, it should be that the first thing you said was in the inn, and what I said was at the martial arts conference, hehe... You don't know, right" Meng Xiaoshan saw Yan'er's angry eyebrows and angry face, and knew that they had made a mistake when they met for the first time.

"Oh, yes, then, you started to pay attention to me at that time, what was your impression when you were at the inn?" Yan'er suddenly realized, her face flushed, and she said with a smile.

"Haha, that time I saw you, it scared me, the first time I saw a woman who was in her arms, and she put her hands on me" This girl had to inch in, and asked about the inn, Meng Xiaoshan recalled the night at the inn, and felt funny, and had a heart to laugh, so he said that.

"I hate it, let you say it so ugly" Yan'er heard it, and knew that Xiaoshan was deliberately teasing her, so she made a killer move and pinched Xiaoshan's arm with one hand.

"Oh, look, you're 'up and down' on me again," Xiao Shan yelled at him.

"Let you say it again..."Yan'er is too powerful, and she wants to pinch people again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaoshan yelled "indecent" and ran away. For a while, the two of them chased after each other in the narrow tent, and it was not lively.

At night, outside Xiaoshan's tent, several soldiers gathered in front of the fire.

The soldier pointed his finger and said, "Who lives in that tent?"

Bing Er smiled with a clear smile: "That, it's filial piety."

Bing San said obscenely: "That Hou Ye's woman is so strong."

Bing Sidao: "Yes, listen, Hou Ye shouted 'indecent' again haha"

Bing Wu lowered his voice and said: "I think, it's not that the woman is too strong, it's a man, it's not good, hahaha"

The soldiers laughed together, the long autumn night, without looking for some fun, it is very difficult to survive, this kind of chatting with several soldiers is a common thing, but where did Meng Xiaoshan know that he has become a joke, you know, it is too wronged, you must know that he has always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor towards Yan'er.
