Lan Qiao looked at the chaotic empty room after the guests had dispersed, and said to Zhang Fu sheepishly: "With this place in such a state, repairs will cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile and said: "Don't worry Huaiyuan, it's not much money, it's not a big deal, and I won't let you pay. Thanks to your timely action today, otherwise if someone died at my family banquet,

My Zhang family has been completely disgraced."

He paused and straightened his clothes and said: "This matter is too important. I will inform the king immediately and ask him to send the city guards to hunt down the assassins. As for the housework, I would also like to ask my sister to help preside over it first."

Lan Qiao glanced at Zhu Qingxiao, who was still in shock and still pale. He remembered what Zhang Fu said to him before the banquet, and sighed in his heart: "Qingxiao looks very frightened. Tomorrow will be the first batch of Huairou camp."

I have to go there on the day when the new recruits enter the camp. If Wen Bi has nothing to do tomorrow, can you drop by the dormitory? I'm afraid she will be uneasy without anyone to accompany her."

"Put it on me." Zhang Fu showed a "generous" smile to Lan Qiao, patted his shoulder and said: "You should go back quickly. Although I don't know what kind of rift there is between you and the Hua family, but girls

Well, you can always get over it with some coaxing. There is nothing wrong with you except that you cherish your feathers so much that you can’t help but be embarrassed. You should learn more from me.”

He smiled, said hello to Zhang Yuting again, and hurried away.

Lan Qiao also said goodbye to Zhang Yuting and returned to Jintai East House with Lan Feng and Zhu Qingxiao.

When he arrived at the door, Lan Qiao looked at the closed door of the West House not far away, hesitating whether to see Hua Yuxi or not.

Zhu Qingxiao saw what he was thinking, walked behind him and said softly: "Go, at least you have been hurt for her, she should give you an explanation no matter what."

Lan Qiao took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Xishe. The rhythmic knocking sound echoed in the night wind, as deep as the dusk drum of an ancient temple.

No one answered the door.

Lan Qiao knocked a second time, but no one answered the door. It wasn't until the third time that Lu Xuerou pushed the door open and came out and said, "My slave, please give your regards to the young master."

Zhu Qingxiao said loudly: "Where is Hua Yuxi? Why doesn't she come out?"

Lu Xuerou showed a troubled look and sighed softly: "Hua, everyone has rested. Let me tell the young master that it is getting late today. The young master's late night visit may cause misunderstanding, so please come back."

"Brother Lanqiao was hurt because of her, but she didn't even want to see him?" Zhu Qingxiao said angrily, "Why is she so heartless?"

Lu Xuerou was speechless.

Lan Qiao said expressionlessly: "If she refuses to meet me, then let's forget it. I'll also ask the girl to go back and tell her that from tomorrow on, I will stay at Huairou Camp and I won't be an eyesore in front of her anymore."

Back in the East House, Lan Qiao asked Shi Miaoer to simply bandage his wound. Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard someone knocking on the door softly. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Zhu Qingxiao standing outside the door holding a quilt.

"Brother Lanqiao..." Zhu Qingxiao lowered her head coquettishly and said, "I can't sleep. Can I sleep with Brother Lanqiao?"

Lan Qiao was startled and said, "Isn't this inconvenient?"

"But I'm so scared..." Zhu Qingxiao said a little aggrievedly, "It's not like we never slept together when we were children. Could it be that Brother Lan Qiao is beginning to dislike her now?"

Lan Qiao had no choice but to invite her in. Zhu Qingxiao happily went straight to the bed, first threw the quilt in his arms onto the bed, and then jumped on it himself.

"Okay, then you have a good sleep." Lan Qiao sat on the other side of the couch, but did not lie down. He only leaned against the soft cushions on the head of the bed, a short distance away from Zhu Qingxiao Xiangnuan's body.

Zhu Qingxiao blinked and said, "Brother Lanqiao, don't you lie down?"

"It hurts." Lan Qiao rubbed the wound on his back and said, "Although it's just a flesh wound, it really hurts."

Zhu Qingxiao's expression changed, as if he wanted to rub it for Lan Qiao, but he was afraid that it would hurt him more if he didn't rub it well, so he gave up and pouted: "How could Hua Yuxi do this? Brother Lanqiao was obviously blocking it for her."

Sword, she's good at it, she doesn't recognize anyone when she turns against him."

She paused and then said emotionally: "If it were me, I would definitely want to take out my heart and show it to you."

"Okay, okay, let's leave her alone whatever she likes." Lan Qiao stroked Zhu Qingxiao's hair, "You must be tired today, go to sleep."

Zhu Qingxiao was indeed tired. After feeling the warmth brought by the blue bridge, he quickly became sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

Lan Qiao sat still, his piercing eyes wandering in the darkness. He looked at Zhu Qingxiao's undulating figure, listened to her even and orderly breathing, and suddenly realized that she had really grown up.

, she came here holding the quilt today, maybe not because she was afraid of sleeping alone, but to comfort him.

Early the next morning, Lan Qiao set off for Huairou Camp.

The first batch of two thousand expanded recruits has already lined up outside Qiufeng Ridge, and the person leading them is Li Bin, the new deputy general of the Huairou Battalion.

Lan Qiao and Li Bin were comrades-in-arms when they captured Sheng Yong's Jiyang Camp, and they were also old acquaintances. Although they knew that Zhu Di appointed him to assist him in the Huairou Camp to restrain him and monitor him, they were still more happy than worried.

After all, Li Bin has more military experience than him and can help him with many complicated and trivial military affairs.

There are more than 300 of the 2,000 new recruits, who were among the 1,000 people who were demobilized when Lanqiao first arrived in Huairou. They learned their shame and became brave. After returning home, they still practiced their skills hard. Finally, they were recruited into the army again and returned to Huairou Camp.

In the family.

Zhu Di's expectation for the Huairou Camp is to expand it to 8,000 people. This time, two thousand will be added first, and the remaining two thousand will be added to the Huairou Camp one month later, that is, on the 27th of the first lunar month of the following year.

Li Bin briefly introduced the situation of the reorganization of new soldiers to Lanqiao. He first divided the original four thousand people into five armies, marked by red flags, green flags, yellow flags, white flags and black flags, and then dispersed the two thousand new soldiers.

The Five Flags Army, which is based on veterans, was mixed in. After reorganization, each banner has a total of 1,200 people. Through the model of two veterans leading one new, the new soldiers can quickly adapt to the environment here.

Lan Qiao asked about the commanders of the five armies, and Li Bin replied: "Iron Cow is in charge of the Yellow Flag Army, Fan Niang is in charge of the White Flag Army, Gongsun Bao is in charge of the Green Flag Army, Da Fengxian is in charge of the Red Flag Army, and Jueming is in charge of the Black Flag Army. There are five of them.

They were originally the most prestigious in the army, but now each is in charge of an army, and they also have the intention of promoting each other and competing with each other."

"Very good." Seeing that Li Bin was running the army in an orderly manner, Lan Qiao nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is there any problem with military discipline?"

"No problem." Li Bin laughed and said, "Thanks to the commander-in-chief for handling the situation well in the early stages."

"No, please give me some advice from Brother Li." Lan Qiao said modestly, "We are comrades-in-arms, so you don't have to call me handsome. From now on, just call me Huaiyuan."

"Okay, Huaiyuan." Li Bin took Lan Qiao to the back of the camp and pointed to the piles of wine jars in the distance. "Looking at the Chinese New Year, the soldiers still have to practice and garrison in Qiufeng Ridge and are not allowed to reunite with their relatives.

It is inevitable to feel gloomy. Your Majesty has specially issued a decree to enjoy wine. Although alcohol is prohibited in the army on weekdays, from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone can drink as much as they like. It can also help recruits and veterans build relationships. Look, there are thirty carts in total.
