Xiao Han feels that in today's boring world, there are few things that are more joyful than meeting old friends again.
Of course, the premise is that this old friend is really a friend! Rather than a "creditor from another country"...
Hugging Zhang Qiang once again, Xiao Han miraculously felt that his irritable heart these days calmed down instantly. He seemed to have not felt so at ease in a long time.
"Okay, I'm back!"
Zhang Qiang's simple words immediately made Xiao Han's eyes heat up! He had to quickly look up to the sky to prevent tears from flowing out of his eyes.
Perhaps, during this period of time, everyone knew that something was wrong with Xiao Han.
But the sad thing is that no one has ever asked! In other words, no one has thought of asking!
In the eyes of the surrounding villagers, Xiao Han is the best village owner in the world! He is also the smartest person in the world!
They have never seen anything that can trouble him! If such a man who is close to a god is troubled, it is definitely not something that ordinary people like them should ask about!
Likewise, in the minds of people in the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Han's image will only become taller! So much so that these people firmly believe from the bottom of their hearts that everything he does should be correct! Even if it is sad! Sad!
Such blind optimism or even worship of a person is actually not good.
Xiao Han is a human being, and he is also a common person!
He will also have various emotions that a human being should have!
Likewise, he will be scared, sad, and need to talk to others!
Butler Lu and the others are incompetent. If Xiao Han could talk to them about everything when they were a small family, then as the Xiao family grows bigger and bigger, there is already a huge line between him and these people.
The gap!
Regardless of whether Xiao Hancheng admits it or not, there are some things that are really not suitable to be said to these people.
As for Xue Pan, don’t even think about it!
As a man, Xiao Han would never show his vulnerable side in front of Xue Pan! Even if his heart was dripping with pain, when facing Xue Pan, he would have to look like a cloudless person.
Lightness!
Su Shi once said that it’s always cold at high places!
Xiao Han only thought this was a beautiful poem at first, but as he stepped forward in the Tang Dynasty, he truly understood the meaning of this poem.
When you stand at a certain height, there will really be no one around you to talk to. This is probably the reason why the emperor calls himself a mediocre person.
Next to Xiao Han, Zhang Qiang is a special person.!
He can be said to be the first person Xiao Han met when he was living in the Tang Dynasty! It was precisely because of him that Xiao Han rose to prominence, from a cannon fodder soldier to a noble class in the Tang Dynasty! His fortune was so fast that it was rarely seen in ancient times.
!
In the past two years, it seems that the two brothers have been together less and more apart, but Zhang Qiang is the only one who can really trust Xiao Han with his family! Not even Butler Lu can do this!
"Here comes the wine!"
Seeing Xiao Han's current appearance, Zhang Qiang's eyes were a little red! He turned around and shouted at Xiaodong, then pulled Xiao Han to sit on the spot, regardless of the dust under him!
"I thought I would come back after the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect it. Something happened in the middle, and it took me a long time to come back."
Xiaodong trotted to the car to get a drink. Zhang Qiang took this opportunity to briefly explain to Xiao Han the reason for his late return.
However, he didn't know that Xiao Han was completely blossoming at this time, and his heart was clear! The resentment towards Zhang Qiang that had not been returned for a long time disappeared without a trace. Hearing this, he just said happily: "It doesn't matter! Yes!
Just come back before I go on the expedition! There are still some things at home, and I just don’t feel comfortable leaving them to others!"
"Huh? What do you mean by that?! Didn't I say I would go with you!"
After Zhang Qiang heard Xiao Han's words, his heart sank instantly, and even his tone became stiffer!
Yes! After that injury, he was indeed tired of the battlefield to the extreme!
But when he heard that Xiao Han was going to join the army, Zhang Qiang still resolutely pulled out the dusty armor and wiped the steel knife that had not been used for a long time!
Not fond of fighting, but not afraid of fighting! This is the character of a Tang man! And if someone wants him to be a coward, the knife in Zhang Qiang's hand will be the first to refuse!
"Hey, look at you! Don't get excited, come on, come on, have a drink first!"
When Xiao Han saw Zhang Qiang's appearance, he knew that he would be wrong, but he was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he took the wine bottle from Xiaodong's hand, opened it, and handed it to Zhang Qiang.
Everyone in the Xiao family knows that the hidden compartment in Xiao Han's carriage not only contains tea, but also a complete range of fine wines and condiments that are outrageous!
Zhang Qiang glanced at Xiao Han, took the wine bottle, took a swig, then wiped his mouth and said stiffly: "Do you think I can't go to the battlefield? Or are you afraid that I will drag you down?"
Hearing this, Xiao Han rolled his eyes, grabbed the wine bottle, took a sip and said, "Hey! You are really thinking too much! Who among our brothers doesn't know who the other is?! Even if I have to drag you down, it will be me dragging you down.
!The reason why you have to stay at home is because there are more important things to do at home!"
"Oh? What else is more important than this!"
Hearing what Xiao Han said, Zhang Qiang's expression softened a little, but he still didn't give up the idea of going to the battlefield together.
They say that when a father and his son go into battle, they fight like brothers!
This time is not the same as last time, I just went to scare Wang Shichong in Luoyang! This is a fight with real swords and guns!
They all came from the battlefield, and Zhang Qiang knows the cruelty of the battlefield better than anyone else! This is almost the coldest place in the world! It will never let you go just because you are the Marquis.
On the contrary, when it comes time to put your life in, if the prince fills it in, then it will be filled in! Now, let a weak guy like Xiao Han take risks on the battlefield, but he sits at home and lives a peaceful life. This thing kills Zhang Qiang
He can't do it either
Zhang Qiang stared at Xiao Han closely, but Xiao Han calmly took a sip of wine, then threw the wine bottle to Zhang Qiang, pointed to the river not far away and changed the subject: "Let's not mention this first, I want to ask.
, how long do you think it will take to attack Luoyang this time?"
Zhang Qiang snorted, thought for a while and said: "It can be as fast as one and a half years, or as slow as three to five years!"
Xiao Han laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, you really don't think highly of us*!"
Zhang Qiang was infected by Xiao Han's emotions, and he also smiled and said: "This is because I understand us and I understand Luoyang! In fact, I still have an answer that I haven't said yet, that is, this battle will probably end in less than half a year.
!”
"Oh, don't you think that King Qin is helpless against Luoyang, so he hastily retreated his troops!" Xiao Han looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise.
Zhang Qiang nodded seriously: "In my estimation, this is actually the most likely thing! After all, Luoyang has been managed by Yang Guang for decades, and it can definitely be regarded as the most powerful pass in the Central Plains! Not to mention the King of Qin, I dare to say that it is the most powerful pass in the world.
