(A year later)

Another cold winter has passed and spring has arrived.

This year, Yunzhong County has a lot of rain, and the watering of the earth has made the earth full of green and watery.

Even the border area where the horse's hooves trampled back and forth were dotted with green. Standing on the hillside, it looked like a broken emerald—

This is what Xie Yan felt.

Zhong Changrong didn't think so, and he had never seen a broken gem, but this did not prevent him from smiling.

"The dog thief Xiliang, he has become a turtle in his head these days, and the grass has grown." He said, "It has caused us to not even get a good news."

Xie Yanlai said: "No news is good news."

This is indeed the truth. Zhong Changrong looked into the distance and then walked forward and left the Great Xia Realm. It did not belong to Xiliang. It was considered a demarcated place of two disregards...

"This time, the border must be re-demarcated!" He stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, "See, a city can be built a hundred miles ahead, which is an excellent defense, and the land is fertile, which is most suitable for raising grass. Many years ago, General Chu said that he wanted to take down this land, but it was a pity-" He swallowed the rest of his words, then clenched his fists, full of pride, "This time, I must achieve my wish."

Expanding the border is the dream of every soldier. He will be proud to agree when he hears this sentence. Unfortunately, what Zhong Changrong brought out today was Xie Yanlai.

"Whether you can achieve your wish, it's not your turn, as the one who fights, to decide." The young man next to him said lazy, "It depends on whether the person who doesn't want to achieve it."

Zhong Changrong's heroic spirit disappeared and was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but he couldn't scold him.

In fact, it was a pity that he said before, not a pity that General Chu passed away, nor was it a pity that General Chu was abandoned for many years. In fact, when the general was in power, it was impossible to achieve his wish.

Unfortunately, the brave emperor was addicted to the joy of victory and did not want to take risks anymore. He stopped the offensive when the border troops were at their peak.

Zhong Changrong turned his head and glared at Xie Yan. He was so annoyed that this kid was so annoyed. If he didn't speak, would he die if he said good-heartedly?

"It's different from the past." He said unhappily, pointing to the direction of the capital, "My lady—"

"Your lady is the queen, not the emperor." Xie Yanlai interrupted him, saying earnestly, "Uncle Zhong, you have been working as the chief general for more than a year. Can you be more calm in your words and actions? Do you also want to be scolded as domineering relatives like me?"

Zhong Changrong smiled angrily: "Who have you taught a lesson!"

Xie Yanlai raised his eyebrows and said nothing, answered with his eyes, of course, to teach you a lesson.

"Of course I know that this court is not my lady who has the final say." Zhong Changrong snorted again, stabbing him, "And you Xie family."

He looked forward again.

"But my lady must have such a wish, and she will definitely work hard for it."

He turned to look at Xie Yanlai again.

"Also, expanding territory is not a shameful thing. If you do such a thing, my lady is proud of it, not ashamed of it, and not afraid of being infatuated."

Xie Yanlai sneered: "I wish the Empress and General Zhong to be invincible, to serve the country and the people, and to be remembered forever."

Although the soldiers and generals standing under the hillside couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, the time was almost the same - the two of them could not last more than a stick of incense together and they were about to make a noise.

"General Zhong—" a deputy general shouted.

Zhong Changrong turned around in anger: "What are you shouting!"

The general stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky: "It's going to rain, General, let's go back to the camp."

Zhong Changrong looked up and saw the original clear sky rolling in the blink of an eye. A sultry rain was gathering.

"Go back to the camp." He shouted loudly, ignored Xie Yanlai and strode away.

Xie Yanlai ignored him and walked slowly behind him.

The troops and horses moved together under the hillside.

When the group rushed into the city, the drizzle turned into a pouring rain.

Because he was too lazy to wear rain cloth, Zhong Changrong and his group were soaked in just a few steps.

The soldiers dispersed, and Zhong Changrong plunged into the government office. A soldier rushed towards him with hot tea in one hand and a towel and a handkerchief in the other.

"Sir, please wipe it quickly - this is ginger tea - as soon as you see the change of the sky, the younger one immediately cooked ginger tea-"

Zhong Changrong felt very upset. Although he disdained to be served like this, it was also very good to be served like this, so he reached out to pick him up.

The soldier passed by him and ran behind him.

"My master, I knew you wouldn't wear rain cloth. Our army's rain cloth is not good."

Zhong Changrong's face looked like the bottom of a pot, and he turned around and glared fiercely. Xie Yanlai had already sipped ginger tea. The soldier held a towel and handkerchief to wipe his head and face.

"——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Xie Yanlai was not at all displeased with his attentiveness, and accepted it calmly. After drinking ginger tea, he commented: "It's too sweet, what can you put in ginger tea?"

The soldier looked annoyed: "I'm afraid that my master will suffer, so I added a handful of sugar." He said again, "I'll go and cook a bowl again."

He said he would do it and then run away, but he was kicked away the next moment.

"The team leads Xiaoshan!" Zhong Changrong cursed, "Get out."

The team led the hill to roll to the side, but wanted to continue rolling forward-

"Person Xie, the inspection is over. What are you still here for me?" Zhong Changrong asked the other person to get out, "Get out quickly."

Xie Yanlai sneered and said, "It's because you don't think about things well. When you think of something, you'll call me. I'm leaving now. Don't call me later. I'm not idle in Luocheng."

After saying that, he turned around and strided away.

Xiaoshan chased after him a few steps: "Mr.——" but he knew he couldn't keep it, "Mr., I'll bring you a good rain cloth-—"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhong Changrong behind him.

Xie Yan came from her sight and couldn't see it.

"General." Xiaoshan turned around with his shoulders collapsed, looking unhappy, "Why are you hitting me?"

Zhong Changrong said, "If I hit you, you will show me your face? Then Xie Yan came-" He pointed at the door that was gone, "I beat you up and cried last year. Why did you see him as if you met his biological father?"

Speaking of last year, Xiaoshan's eyes suddenly turned red, as if the pain of being beaten up again.

"General, what do you know?" He said with a strong nasal voice, "You only saw me crying, but didn't see Mr. Xie crying. He hit me and cried himself. What does this mean? It means that I disappointed him too much. He put high hopes on me, hit me, and hurt him in his heart - I don't have a father. If my father is there, Mr. Xie will probably treat me like this."

Zhong Changrong was shocked when he heard this, angry and funny, what a lie.

He didn't know what happened to Xie Yanlai and Xiaoshan. It seemed that as soon as he left, someone came to report Xie Yanlai to beat Xiaoshan and drove the people back.

He didn't take it seriously. After Xie Yan came to the border army, he fought with others in private not once or twice.

This dog's temper is naturally annoying.

Of course, there were also generals who made sarcastic remarks to him that Xiaoshan was Zhong Changrong's man, so Xie naturally wouldn't use it. He reminded him that Xie and they were not united in mind, and they should also beware of Xie Yan coming.

Zhong Changrong naturally ignored this. Xie and him were indeed not united, but is Xie Yan coming?

He is just a heartless person!

Zhong Changrong was slightly distracted, Xiaoshan squatted on the ground and muttered: "I hurt my heart. I have worked hard for a year. I hope I can see me-"

Zhong Changrong kicked him: "You are such a useless thing, I will give you soldiers and horses, let you be the team leader, and lead the troops to kill the enemy. You don't want to repay me, but you just want Xie Yan to see it and let him see what's good about it."

"General, it's so satisfying to kill the enemy with Mr. Xie." Xiaoshan retorted, saying that he was furious, "It's a strange trick to kill the enemy, fast and ruthless. The battles he fought were all the battles that left no Xiliang soldiers left, and they were very fierce."

Xie Yanlai is very fierce in fighting, and it is like a life-threatening fight, so Zhong Changrong can't help but worry every time.

"It's evil, but it's also evil." He muttered.

"No." Xiaoshan immediately retorted, "I'm fighting the most fierce battle. I'm training in private, and protecting everyone on the battlefield. I'm not a random person to trade lives for military achievements. He is smart, can fight and can fight. Many of the brothers he has received have received help from him, otherwise he would have died on the battlefield. Although I don't have the honor to fight with me, I've hit me hard that time, but I avoided the vital points. I have a lot of flesh on my butt, so he just spanked--"

Zhong Changrong couldn't bear to listen anymore and kicked him again: "Stop talking, I've been back for a year, but I still look like this."

Xiaoshan got up and left.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhong Changrong shouted again, "Do you still have that ginger tea? The hot water is ready, where is it? I'm soaked-"

Xiaoshantou didn't reply: "The hot water is ready. In the pot, scoop and drink a few sips by yourself. After drinking, soak it in the pot. I have something to do. Today, it's time for our team to patrol the city."

Zhong Changrong glared at him in anger. Why did he just take a few sips of hot water when it was his turn?

"You little brat, you know that you are patrolling the city, but you even came to me to show your kindness." He cursed.

Even if you want to kick it, the kid ran out in a flash.

Zhong Changrong went to wash himself with a swearing curse. As soon as he changed his clothes, a letter was sent. When he said it was from the capital, Zhong Changrong took it without hesitation. He opened it and looked thoughtful. He walked back and forth a few steps in the room, and finally stopped, and seemed to have made a difficult decision.

"Come here." He ordered, "Call the Captain Xie in Luocheng."

.........

.........

Xie Yanlai rushed in with rain.

"General Zhong." He shouted, "I said before, don't look for me--"

Zhong Changrong glared at him: "There is a new mission."

Xie Yanlai stood in the hall, raised his hand to stroke the rain on his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes flew sideways: "I will not obey the order."

Zhong Changrong sneered: "Go to the capital."

Xie Yanlai's sneer that surged to his nose stopped immediately, and his fingers froze on his brows.

The capital city.

There is a distant capital that I haven't seen for a long time, she.
