The backyard of the Xiao family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You and your father are going to lead the army?"
Xiao Yun grabbed Huan Chang with both hands, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes showed a look of horror.
These two men, one is her father and the other is her lover.
Both of them are going to the battlefield, leaving Xiao Yun alone at home, she will definitely be afraid of the safety of the two.
"Don't worry, the Juye Gang is only a third-rate sect, and it is not difficult to exterminate it. ”
Holding Xiao Yun's hands back, Huan often comforted him.
"Can you not go?"
Xiao Yun had a pleading look in her eyes, although she was just a woman, she also knew how terrible war was.
"The reason why I asked to go with the army was because I was worried about my uncle's safety. ”
"Although he is proficient in military books and war strategies, after all, he is only a scribe, and even if my martial arts are low, I want to follow him. ”
"Even if I knew that this battle might be dangerous, I would go with the army, just because my uncle is your father!"
Huan Chang held Xiao Yun's pretty face, stared at her eyes, and said solemnly.
In fact, Huan Chang actually doesn't want to participate in this war, and a charlatan like him is not enough to determine the outcome of a war.
But Huan often knows that Xiao Qi is Xiao Yun's heaven.
If Xiao Qi had an accident on the expedition, Xiao Yun would definitely be in pain, so she wanted to follow Xiao Qi.
No why, just for the woman you like.
"Woooooo
Xiao Yun threw herself into Huan Chang's arms, hugged Huan Chang's waist with her jade arms, and sobbed in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'll be back!"
"In the next spring season, I will take glory and merit, ride the sturdy little black, and return to Qufu with my head held high!"
"At that time, I will definitely marry you!"
Gently stroking her hair, Huan Chang made his promise.
"Poof!"
never thought that after hearing Huan Chang's words, Xiao Yun burst into tears and laughed.
Her heart was sweet, and although she had tears on her face, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"People are full of glory and merit, riding a tall horse, but you have to ride a black donkey, it is fun to think about. ”
Huan Chang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Xiao Hei has been dependent on me since he was a child, and the master asked me to take care of it before leaving." ”
"So, no matter where I go, I have to take Xiao Hei with me. ”
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Although I don't know much about Xiao Hei, I can feel its extraordinary, and with it by your side, I can also feel at ease." ”
When Huan Chang heard this, he suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face.
"In your eyes, I'm not as reliable as a black donkey. ”
Xiao Yun didn't smile this time, but tidied up his clothes for Huan Chang, and said, "You and your father must come back, I'll wait for you." ”
Staring at that pretty face and looking at the plump and delicate red lips, Huan Chang couldn't bear it anymore and slowly lowered his head.
Xiao Yun knew what was going to happen, and suddenly closed her eyes nervously, and her body tensed.
"Ahem!"
Just as the two of them were getting closer and closer to each other, and their lips were about to be pressed together, a cough suddenly came from the courtyard door.
"Ahh
Xiao Yun panicked, and hurriedly pushed Huan Chang away, his face turned red like blood.
Huan Chang saw Xiao Qi walking in, and he was also a little at a loss, hanging his head and not daring to look up.
"In broad daylight, hug and hug, what kind of system will I become!"
Xiao Qi walked in, his face full of anger, and he scolded the two of them loudly, so frightened that Huan Chang and Xiao Yun didn't dare to look up.
They didn't see it, and a look of urgency flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes.
With enough parental prestige, Xiao Qi's face softened slightly, and said to Huan Chang: "Ah Chang, you come out with me!"
Huan Chang was a little scared, but he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Qi's intentions, so he had to follow anxiously.
After the two walked out of the backyard, Xiao Yun dared to raise her head, and then clenched her hands with some worry and looked at her.
"Good boy, you dare to do this before you get married!"
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Xiao Qi grabbed Huan Chang's ear, but he didn't use much strength.
"Oh, uncle, I know it's wrong!"
Seeing Xiao Qi's appearance, Huan Chang breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately pretended to be in pain.
"Humph!"
Letting go of the hand that was pulling his ears, Xiao Qi said slightly threateningly: "I can warn you, you can't fool around before you get married, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face!"
For every father who has a daughter, this experience may have been experienced.
They hope that their daughter can find a good home, but they don't want their daughter to be with other men casually.
Fatherly love, sometimes that's how complicated.
Huan Chang chick nodded like a peck of rice, and said, "When this war is over, I will come back and take Ah Yun as his wife." ”
Xiao Qi stroked his beard, and then said, "You two are not too young, and it is nothing to get married." ”
"When the war is over, I will come back and make decisions for you. ”
Huan Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again.
"By the way, I have already asked the king for instructions, your position as the captain of the patrol city has been dismissed, and the king has named you a partial general and allowed to go with the army. ”
"Your Excellency's favor is not insignificant, and you must be grateful. ”
Although the captain of the patrol city is also a military position, he does not have much power at all, and to put it bluntly, he is the captain of the patrol brigade.
It's not the same for partial generals, who are already able to lead an army alone.
"I must keep it in mind!"
In fact, Huan Chang doesn't attach much importance to his official position, he is still a free and easy Jianghu in his bones.
But since he decided to settle in Lu and become an official in Lu State, he naturally wanted to climb up as much as possible.
"The army will be set up in three days, and I will prepare you armor and weapons, as well as a good horse from the north, and you must familiarize yourself with these. ”
The two armies fought like rivers and lakes, and the generals basically used long weapons, and swords were rarely used.
Therefore, Xiao Qi will prepare for Huan Chang in advance.
Huan Chang shook his head and said, "I have Xiao Hei as a mount, so I don't need a war horse." ”
Xiao Qi didn't know the miracle of the black donkey, and said with a blank face: "On the battlefield, how can there be a general riding a black donkey?"
Huan Chang said: "Xiao Hei is extraordinary, even if it is a snow BMW when running, it can't catch up, it is the best mount." ”
Xiao Qi's face couldn't help but change slightly.
He knew that even with Xiao Qi's current identity, it would be impossible to get one.
The black donkey actually ran faster than stepping on the snow, which couldn't help but shock Xiao Qi.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Qi said: "If this is the case, it doesn't hurt for you to ride a black donkey, but you will inevitably be ridiculed by others." ”
Huan Chang didn't care and said: "What do other people's opinions have to do with me!"
The date of the expedition was determined, and Huan Chang was busy every day.
Although he resigned from his position as captain of the patrol school, he still did not forget his old subordinates.
Gather all the errands together, and Huan often invited them to gather in the Drunken Immortal Tower.
When everyone learned that Huan Chang was going to the battlefield, they were all worried about him.
"After I leave, if possible, please help me take care of the Xiao family girl secretly. ”
When the servants heard this, they naturally patted their chests and promised.
