For the next few days, the barracks in Zhenxiguan came to a halt.

I don't know if Su Changan is too sharp, since Gu Yalang's day, no one dares to trouble him.

Even when he went to Zhenxiguan to ask for armor, there was no hindrance, Zhenxiguan only thought about it slightly, and asked people to bring him a thousand sets of armor.

And the training of the trapped camp is also carried out in an orderly manner, but the time is too short, although there is no great effect, but compared to the past, the spirit of these soldiers is much better.

Finally, tomorrow is the day when the army will start and rush to Xiliang, Su Changan finished the day's training early, and there are still soldiers to rest, but it is stipulated that no alcohol is allowed, let alone leaving the barracks.

Then, he returned to his tent, but saw that Qingluan was still practicing, and he didn't open his eyes until he walked into the tent.

Qingluan's cultivation speed is very fast, unbelievably fast.

Since they fled to the Taoist temple, Qingluan's cultivation has been completely lost, and it has only been more than two months now, and Qingluan's realm has reached the Fanchen realm. Although this is largely due to her own natural talent, and she was a star death. But at the same time, it is also related to her almost sleepless practice during this time. Su Changan saw it in his eyes, and naturally felt extremely distressed, although he also said Qingluan a few times, but although Qingluan agreed very obediently every time, he still went his own way in the end.

Seeing Su Changan walk in, Qingluan stood up, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the sweat on his forehead like a wife. Although Qingluan has not done such a thing in the past few days, Su Changan still felt a little uncomfortable, and his face turned red involuntarily.

"Yesterday, you didn't sleep well. Qingluan looked at Su Changan's clean forehead with satisfaction, and said loudly.

"En?" Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He lives under the same roof with Qingluan, and many things naturally can't escape her eyes.

"Why?" Qingluan was puzzled.

Su Changan shook his head, but he didn't know how to say it. In the past few days, he has always dreamed of the twelve heads of that day, especially the young boy, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. His eyes were always watching him in his dreams, so that Su Changan could not sleep peacefully.

Although he was silent on the surface, after that, Su Changan couldn't help but let people bring the file and carefully check the life history of the twelve people. The rest of the people were all vicious bandits, and if they died, they would die, but Su Changan did not feel the slightest uneasiness. But the young man, who was a little younger than him, was taken by Guan Canghai, who was eager to recruit troops, because he stole some things, and was forcibly sent to the trapping camp.

Of course, killing him is to strictly enforce military discipline and prevent such things from happening in the future, in a sense, exchanging the lives of one person for the lives of more people is a very cost-effective deal. However, human life can not be measured by transactions, especially compared to those who are extremely vicious, that young man is more innocent.

Qingluan naturally didn't understand such a thing, and Su Changan also felt a little hypocritical, so he didn't want to say it.

But at this moment, outside the tent, a somewhat timid voice came.

"General Nan, you... Are you free?"

Su Changan heard that this was the voice of Liu Changyu, who was still appointed as a herald.

"What's the matter? Su Chang'an said.

With Su Changan's permission, the young man walked in resignedly, and before Su Changan could ask him what he was talking about, the young man rushed to kneel in front of Su Changan.

Su Chang'an's brows furrowed, tomorrow is the day when the army will go to Xiliang, at this time, Liu Changyu knelt down in front of him, what he wanted to do, Su Changan would naturally be able to guess some.

This Liu Changyu is not as good as a beard, the beard has real skills, and he has a very high prestige among that group of soldiers, Su Changan values his ability with him. But this Liu Changyu is different, Su Changan promoted him to adjutant because he was still young, and looking at his appearance in the cell that day, he must have not been bullied by those soldiers, so he had compassion and treated him beside him.

These days, he is diligent and clever, so Su Changan is very satisfied with him.

But if he thinks that this is the case, he can let Su Changan let him go, which is too naΓ―ve, after all, none of the soldiers in the camp are really willing to go to the battlefield, if this precedent is set, I am afraid that the morale of the army, which has been stabilized with great difficulty, will be in chaos.

Thinking like this, Su Changan's face changed, his voice was a little lower, and he said, "What's the matter with you, stand up and say it." ”

But Liu Changyu didn't mean to get up at all, but knocked his head several times in a row, each time with great force and bumps. "The little one has a reluctant request, and the adult is asked to fulfill it. ”

Su Changan's face became more and more ugly, but he still asked: "What do you say, such a bitter trick is useless to me!"

Liu Changyu knew Su Chang'an's temperament, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "The little cultivator knows it, go to Xiliang, and die for life." ”

"So what?" Su Changan's eyes became more and more gloomy.

"Don't hide it from the general, my little family has been poor since I was a child, and my mother single-handedly pulled me up, and sent me to the martial arts hall to learn some skills. I thought about a certain errand to honor my mother, but I didn't want the tree to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, and the son wanted to raise but didn't wait. My mother contracted a serious illness because of perennial fatigue, and the little one had no money to recuperate with her, so she had to take risks and go to the hospital to steal medicine. But he was discovered by the guards who guarded the pharmacy and missed... Beat him to death by mistake. ”

"The little one knows that he is guilty, and going to Xiliang to join the army can be regarded as a meritorious service. It's just that... My mother is old, and I can't rest assured. I just want to ask the general to open up so that I can go and see her before I leave. If the general is perfected, the small one will definitely saddle the horse and repay the grass in the future!"

After saying this, Liu Changyu knelt down again, his eyes were full of tears, and a few extremely heavy bangs were pulled out.

After Su Changan heard this, the coldness between his eyebrows faded, but it was difficult for him to tell whether Liu Changyu's words were true or false.

I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't help but think of the young man he killed, and my heart softened, and after thinking about it very seriously, he finally said, "Okay! I'll go with you." ”

Liu Changyu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy, of course, he also knew that Su Changan had the intention of monitoring with him, but he didn't care, after all, Su Chang'an was able to agree to him about this, it was already an extrajudicial favor, and he didn't care about the rest.

He wanted to ask Su Changan if he could change his clothes, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he had come out of this armor, and the rest was a prison uniform, so he gave up.

didn't say anything more, led Su Changan and walked in the direction of his house.

Liu Changyu's home is in a slum not far from the west of the city, and it is not much different from what he said, a very dilapidated wooden house.

Perhaps in response to the words of homesickness, Liu Changyu, who was in a hurry all the way and wanted to rush home immediately, stood at the door of the house, but his body trembled inexplicably, and he raised his hand to knock on the door several times, but he seemed to be afraid of something, and finally put his hand back.

Su Changan saw all this in his eyes, but he did not say anything to urge.

It wasn't until after a while that Liu Changyu took a deep breath that he finally mustered up the courage and knocked on the door.

"Who?" asked the man in the room, as if he had fallen asleep, as if awakened by the noise.

The voice was very old, and there was even a little alarm in it. But Liu Changyu's nose was sour, and his voice trembled and responded: "It's me." ”

"Yu'er?" There was a rustling of clothes in the room, and then the dilapidated door was opened, and an elderly woman stepped out of it.

She looks like she is only about fifty years old, but perhaps because she is too tired, her hair has turned gray, and the wrinkles on her face are even denser.

But when she saw the appearance of the man in front of her clearly, her body couldn't help but tremble, "Yu'er, Yu'er." You're finally back!Where the hell have you been all this time!"

The old woman seemed to blame Liu Changyu, but the look on her face couldn't hide her joy, so much so that she cried with joy, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down her cheeks.

Liu Changyu's body knelt down with a thud at that time, and said with a crying voice: "It's the child who is not filial, the child is not filial!"

Mother Liu hurriedly helped him up, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

And at this time, she found Su Changan standing on the side, she saw that he was dressed in armor, and then she looked at her son as well, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Yu'er... You are... This military master is again..."

Liu Changyu's face darkened, and he said, "Mother, it's windy outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

At this time, Liu's mother also felt that putting Su Changan outside the house was not a way of hospitality, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, come into the house and say!"

When he went to the house, Su Changan found that Liu Changyu's home was even more ruined than he imagined.

In the small main hall, there is only a wooden table with a missing corner, a few shabby bamboo chairs, and a wooden bucket in the corner, in which the rice bran is placed. There are some yellowed pickles hanging on the wall, and a lone piece of bacon in the middle is particularly glaring.

After the two of them sat down, Liu's mother hurriedly walked up to Su Chang'an and asked, "Master Jun, did my Yu'er do something?" My Yu'er has been well-behaved since she was a child, if she does something wrong, it is because I, the mother, have not disciplined well, you have a lot, don't embarrass him!" As she spoke, the elderly woman was about to kneel.

During this time, the matter of Guan Canghai pulling prisoners to fill the army was spread in Xijiang City, although Liu's mother was a woman, but when she saw her son disappear for a few months and return home in armor, she could naturally guess a few points. She doesn't know anything about military affairs, but she doesn't want her son to suffer, so she doesn't care about the so-called face.

Liu Changyu's face was also dark, he committed a murder, not only failed to fulfill his filial piety, but also humiliated his mother, thinking of this, he became more and more guilty.

Su Changan couldn't afford such a big gift, he quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Why did the eldest lady say this, Changyu didn't commit a crime, it was a skill that was valued by Lord Guancanghai, and he was recruited into the barracks, how can he be compared with those prisoners!"

Liu Changyu, who was silent when he lowered his head when he heard this, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Su Chang'an's eyes, first puzzled, and then a strong grateful.

Mother Liu was also stunned when she heard this, and she asked in disbelief: "Yu'er, Yu'er didn't commit any crimes?"

"Naturally, no. Didn't you also say that Changyu has always been well-behaved, how could he make trouble?" Su Changan replied with a smile.

He had a warm face, and he didn't look impatient at all at all at all for Liu's mother's chattering questions, which made Liu Changyu, who was used to seeing Su Chang'an's decisive side of killing, couldn't help but feel a little unreal.

"Then how could Yu'er suddenly join the army?" Liu Mu seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"Brother Changyu is clever and capable, so naturally he can't escape the eyes of Lord Guancanghai. Besides, have you ever seen a prisoner who was assigned to serve the army with eight taels of silver a month?" As he spoke, Su Changan took out some broken silver from his cuffs and stuffed it into Liu's mother's hand. "These are all Changyu who are reluctant to use these days, so that I can save my filial piety to you, you have to take it away, and when the time comes, Changyu can point to him to marry his daughter-in-law!"

"So much money?" Mother Liu looked at the silver in her hand, she may have never seen such a silver tael in her life, and at the same time, she was surprised in her heart, but she no longer doubted Su Changan's words. She hurriedly put it away, nodded again and again, looked at Liu Changyu on the side, and said with a smile: "My son has a career and has become a big official!"

"That's right, so don't worry, auntie, I'm at home waiting for us to come back from Xiliang..."

Su Changan's words were only halfway through, and Liu's mother's face changed, "Go to Xiliang? You want to go to Xiliang, and the army that will go out tomorrow is you and Yu'er?"

"......" Su Changan knew that he was speechless, and his heart that had just been put down after seeing Liu's mother's expression must have hung again. But he didn't know how to comfort him, so he was silent.

On the contrary, Liu Changyu, who was on the side, walked over to help his mother and comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, I am also making contributions here, and with General Nan taking care of me, there will be nothing wrong." ”

Liu's mother was confused for a while, she was a woman, she only knew how to marry her husband and follow her husband, and her husband died from her son, many things were heard by hearsay, and she had always had few opinions, but she knew that she was worried about her son.

And Liu Changyu's words naturally carried a lot of weight in her heart, although she was still worried, but it was not good to say anything to refute. just kept babbling that Liu Changyu must come back alive, and even gave Su Changan a lot of advice, asking him to take care of his son.

Although Liu Changyu has been swearing to comfort his mother, Su Changan still vaguely saw that his eyes were red, and he seemed to be trying his best to hold back so that the things inside would not fall.

Then Liu's mother kept the two of them to eat, and even took off the only piece of bacon in the family, and made a table of delicious meals for the two of them, although not sumptuous. Later, Liu's mother was still reluctant, and tried to persuade her son to stay several times, but in the end she was refuted by Liu Changyu. It wasn't until the time came that the old woman couldn't hold it anymore, and went to sleep in the house under Liu Changyu's service.

Liu Changyu packed up the tables and chairs, and wanted to leave a letter to his mother to ask her to take care of herself, but after thinking about it, her mother couldn't read big characters, so she just did it.

After doing this, although he was reluctant, he also knew that it was time to leave, so he lowered his head and followed Su Changan out of the room.

But for some reason, Su Changan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, Liu Changyu was puzzled, and was about to say something, but saw Su Changan frowning and looking at a certain place in front of him, he hurriedly followed, but saw a figure lying not far away, he hurriedly stepped forward to check, but saw that it was an old man who looked like a beggar, he subconsciously reached out to probe his breath, but found that he had already lost his vitality.

This kind of thing is not uncommon even in the bustling Xijiang City, he shook his head at Su Changan, and was about to tell him about this person's condition. But seeing Su Changan's hand suddenly raised, the corpse flew into his hand suddenly, and then Liu Changyu felt a surge of spiritual power, and the dead body exploded violently at that time, becoming bloody and blurry, in addition to still being able to see the human form, but he couldn't distinguish the appearance in front of him.

Liu Changyu was puzzled, he felt that this old man was already pitiful when he died, and he had no grievances with Su Changan, so why bother to abuse his corpse again.

"At the moment today, Liu Changyu, the herald of the trapped camp, took advantage of the night to escape, but failed, and was sentenced to Ling Chi to death. Su Changan's cold voice sounded at this time.

Liu Changyu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Su Changan meant, his face changed, and he looked at Su Changan incredulously.

"South... General Nan... Iβ€”" Perhaps because he was so excited, he couldn't even speak for a while.

Su Changan ignored him, and was about to leave with the corpse, but after only a few steps, he seemed to remember something suddenly, turned his head to look at Liu Changyu and said, "Take your mother away from Xijiang, Xiliang won't be able to stay for long." ”

After that, he didn't look at Liu Changyu again, turned around and disappeared into the thick night.

On the second day, it was not yet completely light.

The 9,000 troops of Zhenxiguan, including the trapped camp, have been assembled.

It is naturally extremely important for a large army to go on an expedition.

Therefore, the people of Xijiang City sent each other in the middle of the road, and the gods watched the sea in person at the city gate for the army.

Zhenxiguan drank a bowl of Zhuangxing wine in front of everyone, rode his horse and whipped, and led nearly 10,000 troops to run in the direction of Xiliang.

Su Changan's trapped camp fell at the end of the team, and he saw that the soldiers in front of him had begun to run, and was about to order the trapped camp to follow the army, but he heard a shout from behind him.

"General Nan! Wait for me!"

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice was a little familiar, he turned his head to look, but saw Liu Changyu wearing armor and trotting all the way panting.

Su Changan's brows furrowed, and he looked at Liu Changyu who had arrived in front of him with some puzzlement and asked, "Why are you here?"

He couldn't understand why he showed up when he had already let him live yesterday, even if he didn't care about his own life, he should think about his old mother.

Liu Changyu turned a blind eye to Su Chang'an's displeasure, he looked at Su Chang'an with a smile, scratched the back of his head a little naively, and said, "My mother is unwilling to leave Xijiang. ”

Xijiang is her home, she said. ”

"As a son, you have to help her keep this home. ”
