"Every time a letter comes from Miss Ah Li, the little deer in our general's heart is alive again." Liang Jun sighed.
Cheng Jieshi and others laughed heartily.
Chang Chengzhi, the captain of Shanjingcheng Primary School who was very close to Dai Yu and the others during this period, said happily: "This is a good thing. In this way, our general will not be so vicious! Hey, you think, if this girl Ali If you come to our barracks, will our general laugh every day? And he won't punish people so harshly?"
Zhai Jin, who was serious about words and expressions, said abruptly: "More than smiling every day, if Miss Ali can really come, the young master can make you eat and drink every day."
"Then let's go and snatch the girl named Ah Li right away?"
Everyone looked at him and laughed again.
Zhai Jinsheng was also laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Go ahead," Cheng Jieshi said with a smile, "Miss Ah Li is very easy to grab."
Zhai Jinsheng suddenly stopped laughing and pushed away with his elbow.
Everyone's laughter gradually stopped.
Cheng Jieshi and others followed their gaze and saw Shen Lie getting out of the carriage.
"General." Liang Jun stood up and said.
"You come with me." Shen Lie said to him.
"Yes!" Liang Jun said hurriedly.
Watching the two of them leave, everyone looked at me and me, all curious.
On the banks of the Ningjiang River, the water is slow. A light snowfall faded only ten days ago. The sunshine has been fine these past few days. Although there are no traces of frost or snow on the ground, there are still some ice layers on the upper reaches of the river that are slowly thawing.
As they walked slowly along the river bank, the westward sunlight shone on them, and Shen Lie said solemnly, "What did those horse bandits say?"
"Well," Liang Jun nodded and said as he walked, "I originally guessed that they massacred those three villages out of hatred or because they didn't want this fat meat to go anywhere. After interrogation, it turned out that there was another smoother road. . A five-mile-long canyon in the East Ridge of Zibaigu Mountain can go straight into the Bufu Township of Pan Yuzhengwei Town. Therefore, there will rarely be horse bandits here again in the future, so they will take advantage of the winter to come over and calm down. Before bumping into us, the north bank The six or seven villages on the other side have all been wiped out."
"Buixi Township," Shen Lie said, "Judging from the name, it seems that it will not replace these villages in Baigu Mountain Pass to feed tigers with one's body."
"This name sounds like it does have some stories, but I've never heard of it before."
"I do not have either."
"But when it comes to this road, does the general know it? Who knows it?"
"who?"
"He Yanpo," Liang Jun twitched the corners of his lips and said mockingly, "Tao Lan taught those Xizuo Chinese. Over the past five or six years, those Xizai have dressed up as old farmers and visited and explored the roads, which has won the enthusiasm of my simple country people. As a result, they made a precise map."
"It seems that these Xiqiang horse bandits have really colluded with those in Beiyuan."
"Not only that, some of the letters recovered from the corpses contain the ancient characters of the Southwest Sea Clan. It seems that Na and Yanpo are going to play a big chess game."
"It's a pity that my teammates can't do it," Shen Lie said lightly, "If He Yanpo colludes with one party now, there is hope that he can swallow up the entire Central Plains."
"Which side?"
"To Li Qian in the east."
Liang Jun paused, then laughed loudly: "That's more difficult than climbing to the sky."
Shen Lie also smiled lightly and said: "Our original itinerary was from the northwest of Ningsi, around the south of Juezhou, and then back to Tanzhou from Panyu Xiling. But now, I want to go to Cangjin."
Liang Jun is a smart man: "Is it related to Miss Ah Li's letter?"
"Well, Dai Yu will come with me. I want to see an old friend."
"This..." Liang Jun frowned, "Right now, this army is not stable enough, and it cannot be separated from the general for a day. The rogue nature of these people cannot be cured by the general. Although the military regulations have been drafted, the general is still needed outside.
Only then can we suppress them. If the general wants to go to Cangjin, he will have to go with the whole army. Otherwise, any one person who provokes and incites chaos can cause changes. Not to mention, Tanzhou soldiers and Shanjingcheng soldiers are originally
They didn't like each other, and they often argued and fought."
"If I leave for two days, how about a quick ride back?"
"I know that the general will have to drive all the way without eating or drinking, but general, this is winter, and it is still winter in the northwest, and the body...can't bear it."
"But I must go on this trip."
After thinking for a while, Liang Jun said: "In this case, general, the army will go with you. When the army is out, it is common for the itinerary to change drastically. We only need to send fast horses to set off and re-adjust the route of the supplies that have been allocated in advance. The biggest difficulty is
Yes... Zhitu has been completely occupied, and now the army has been defeated year after year, retreating steadily, and the north is full of smoke."
After saying this, he felt it was inappropriate, and Liang Jun scolded himself: "Look what I said, if the soldiers don't go to the land of war, then who will?"
"How about an empty carriage?" Shen Lie suddenly asked.
Liang Jun paused and said, "That's right...it's okay! The general likes to be quiet. He rarely goes out of his carriage, and most of his orders are conveyed by us. Then, six days, so the general doesn't have to be tired on the road."
"Okay, then it will take six days, and," Shen Lie frowned, "we need to send two reliable people to Pan Yu to investigate. Zhengwei Town is not convinced. I want to know what's going on."
"Then these horse bandits..."
"Leave two obedient ones. If you want to go west in the future, you may be able to use them. The rest can be cultivated in the land."
"Okay, be sure to bury it deeper!"
Shen Lie smiled faintly and looked towards the sparkling river as he walked.
The river breeze blows, and the grass is green. My heart feels free to express my feelings, and I follow the wind freely.
Liang Jun also laughed and couldn't help but said: "It seems that Miss Ali's letter has put the general in a good mood."
"She was confused, and I wanted to help her resolve it," Shen Lie said.
She wanted to go to Cangjin, not to find her second brother directly, but to see how he was doing and whether it was appropriate to tell him.
Otherwise, Shen Lie felt that whatever the answer in the letter was was empty talk.
"How can a woman as smart and transparent as Miss Ah Li still be confused?" Liang Jun was surprised.
Shen Lie's eyes became deep and quiet, and her clear and bright eyes seemed to appear where she stared.
"She is extraordinary," Shen Lie said in a low voice, "but she is still made of flesh and blood. She will feel pain when she is injured, and she will cry when she is sad. No matter how extraordinary she is, she is still a living person."
Liang Jun nodded, smiled suddenly, and his mood suddenly improved.
Shen Lie looked at him.
"General, don't look at me," Liang Jun said with a smile, "Let me have fun by myself for a while!"
Infected by his smile, Shen Lie smiled and said "hmm" without asking any more questions.
However, Liang Jun smiled more and more happily, and sighed longly towards the river. He even became very interested in poetry and wanted to recite a poem to write a poem.
Liang Jun was in a good mood until he returned.
The whole army broke out of camp and set off. His carriage followed Shen Lie. He sat in the carriage, tapping his fingers and looking at the river outside the carriage with a smile on his face.
"Master, why are you laughing?" Ping An couldn't help but ask when he saw his silly joy.
"Hahaha..." Liang Jun said happily, "I'm laughing, this world is so interesting."
"interesting?"
With that said, Liang Jun took out the letter from his arms: "Come and see for yourself!"
