"Drunk spring shirts cherish the old fragrance. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info days will be away from hatred and annoyance. Autumn grass grows on the moon every year, and the building is in the middle of the building every day. The clouds are misty and the water is vast. There is a long way to go. Acacia is a no-nonsense word, don't waste tears on the flower note. Chaoping sat on the roof, muttering a few lines of Yan Jidao's poems, and said: "It seems that grandpa doesn't want me to worry about him, so I haven't written a letter for so long, and the battle at the border must be not easy to fight." "More than half a year has passed, Chaoping has not received a letter home, in the New Year, several of them are very dull at home, are worried about the border affairs, and even the old general did not send a letter to the family, Chaoping released a carrier pigeon did not come back.

There was no news on this day, Chaoping sat on the roof until the sun went down, and just about to get up and go down, he heard the sound of a pigeon flapping its wings, the sound was getting closer and closer, Chaoping was overjoyed and went down the ladder to look into the sky, and sure enough, a pigeon flew over his head and went to the backyard. Seeing this pigeon, Zhang Tao and the housekeeper came over, and the three of them took off the skin on the pigeon's leg and saw the letter from the old general, which read: " Ping'er, recently due to busy military affairs have not sent home a book, you have released the carrier pigeon has come to the barracks, a few months ago the army snatched the state and county, recently has recaptured the five states and three counties, although there are some dangers and some hard battles, but today the victory and defeat has been seen, the Liao army has been defeated and retreated to Yanmen Pass, although they still do not give up fighting with us, but our army is not injured, the Liao army has suffered nearly half of the casualties, within a few months can be the class to return to the dynasty, my grandson do not read, Li Luoyun "Zhang Tao shouted after reading the letter on the side" Great victory, great victory at the border pass, the old general is really invincible. Chao Ping and the housekeeper were also very happy, and then Chao Ping ordered the housekeeper to prepare the meal the next day, planning to invite Liu'er and Chen Gu to come to the house for dinner the next day, and also told them the good news. After saying that, Chaoping and Zhang Tao and the housekeeper had dinner, Chaoping had not eaten so wolfbled for a long time, and in the evening, he went to the library alone, their family had very few people, so the night was very quiet, he lit the lamp, took out the handsome seal and looked at it carefully, and his face was still showing an excited smile. In this way, he hugged Shuai Yin in the library and slept on the bookcase for a night.

The next day, he went to find Chen Gu and Song Hao after eating early, Chen Gu's family is killing pigs, Chen Gu is selling pork with his father, seeing Chaoping coming, he hurriedly wiped his hands and went over to say hello, Chaoping told him about receiving the letter from home, Chen Gu was very happy, because Chaoping was worried about him for half a year. The two of them chatted for a while, and said that Chen Gu would go to Song Hao, and Chaoping would go to Liu Er. Chaoping entered Jia's mansion, Master Jia was drinking tea in the main hall, Chaoping said hello and explained the intention and receipt of the letter, "Okay, the old general is gratifying to win the battle." He and the Li family are world friends, and he is naturally very happy to hear this news. Then he ordered the maid to call the young lady out and let him go to the Li Mansion with Chaoping. "Brother Chaoping, why are you here, is it that grandpa has news from the border gate. Liu Er came out and saw this guy who never went out, and naturally thought of what was going on, and then said goodbye to Chao Ping and Master Jia and took Liu Er and Chun Tao to Li Mansion, since the two of them saved Chun Tao, Chun Tao became Liu Er's personal maid, and she followed almost wherever she went.

They returned to the Li Mansion, everyone also arrived, and several friends got together again, in addition to Chun Tao and Zhang Tao and the two of them, everyone sat down at a table to eat together, and talked about how everyone looked at Chaoping from the old general and thought about the old general. "Brother Chaoping, thank you and Miss for your rescue that day, so that we have a stable life today. At the dinner table, Chun Tao took the initiative to toast Chaoping, and then Chen Gu and Song Hao also toasted to Chaoping, this time and again the toast can make Chaoping drink a little too much, usually Chaoping also drinks, but he drinks very little, he rarely participates in activities such as socializing, because he is still young, and an old general rarely sets up a banquet in the mansion. After the meal, everyone left, and Chaoping, who had drunk too much, remembered a lot of things in his heart, which can be regarded as crying with joy, and he cried on the side of the weapon rack in the courtyard accompanied by Zhang Tao. "My Li family has been handsome for generations, but in my generation, my father and brother left early, and my body is not so good, my grandfather is so old and has to fight thousands of miles to fight with the Liao people, I am really unfilial and unfilial. Zhang Tao saw that he was crying silently, and comforted: "Third son, don't be so pessimistic, you are a little good at everything, if you talk about using soldiers to fight, there are a few people in the world who can compare with you." After hearing this, Chaoping felt even more uncomfortable, and picked up the gun on the weapon rack like crazy, he had a great time holding such a heavy gun, the head of the gun was iron, but the body of the gun was not, it was a wax stick, but it was also very heavy for him. He had already memorized the Li family's marksmanship in his mind, but when he picked up the gun to play, he couldn't make the first move. The old housekeeper also came over at this time, and he and Zhang Tao persuaded the third young master together. In this way, although Chaoping was very uncomfortable, but there was no way, he had passed more than ten years like this, he was unwilling to go back to the room to sleep, he was lying on the bed thinking about what the battlefield was like, what was the situation of grandpa fighting this time, he had not really seen the battlefield, in their family, they were all learning literature and martial arts since childhood, and then went out to fight, but when it came to his body, his bones were particularly weak, and no one dared to let him go to the border to fight. War was in his mind as he had seen it from books and heard it from his generals, and he was constantly deducing all kinds of tactics and strategies, such as what formation to which formation, what method to break the enemy's defense, what method to defend against the enemy's attack, and he thought about these things all day long. Since Chaoping has no practical experience, he is very unconfident, mainly because he is too weak in martial arts. Chaoping dreamed that one day he could command the three armies to fight for the country, but he thought of himself in front of him, there are indeed many places that are unsatisfactory, and he thought of the matter of Princess Biying, he doesn't know how to wait until the age of marriage in the future. After thinking about a lot of things, Chaoping closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, waiting for the day when the old general returned in triumph.
