Chapter 178 The cruel battlefield

 Xiao Nianzhi didn’t know how the hearts of the people around him fluctuated within just a few breaths.

She caught Yan Xingxuan's gaze and thought it was because of the delicious food, so she looked at her a few more times.

Nowadays, we are sisters, brother and sister, so isn’t it normal to look at each other more than once?

Xiao Nianzhi didn't think much, and was still thinking about what to eat tomorrow?

After everyone had some snacks and rested their stomachs, they started chatting about their daily routine.

Although not all of the people sitting here are familiar to each other, for example, Xiao Nianzhi and Zheng Qingran are not very familiar, and this is the second time they meet.

However, this does not stop everyone from talking and laughing.

The first one was Yan Changxia. She talked about how she coaxed her mother and concubine after returning home, and then started taking action on her father's jasmine flowers.

Not only that, after she was picked up by Yan Xingxuan, she went to Shanglinyuan Prison. The two of them cooperated to coax her, picked some soft plums, and left.

Although Yan Changxia is a poor student, his language is indeed poor.

But she has a unique ability when it comes to telling stories. She can make a simple little thing full of ups and downs and make it extremely interesting.

Therefore, everyone’s interest was quickly aroused.

Seeing that everyone was amused, Yan Changxia had no uncle-nephew relationship at all, so he sold Yan Xingxuan: "Let me tell you, Uncle Wang is also optimistic about a few fat sheep raised in Shanglin Yuanjian. He said they are better than those in Zhuangzi.

It’s well-raised. You can tell at a glance that it’s fat and thin, and the meat is still firm. It must be delicious. If we weren’t in the temple, we would definitely trick one into coming here!”

Yan Xingxuan was still immersed in his own emotions. When he heard Yan Changxia betraying him without mercy, he coughed twice.

My sister is here, give him some face!

As a result, Yan Changxia did not hold back at all, and quickly continued with a smile: "Yes, yes, and the free-range chickens over there, Uncle Wang said, their chicken legs are special when you look at them.

Delicious."

Suck!

It’s over, I just felt something in my stomach, which means I’m hungry again.

Probably no one has eaten meat recently, so I feel a bit greedy when I mention it.

However, what everyone focuses on is sincerity, and I am really embarrassed to break the rules of the temple.

So, just keep craving for it in your heart. No one really wants to say, otherwise...

Let’s go down the mountain and eat meat?

You can’t eat on the mountain, can you go down to the main office?

No one mentioned it. Yan Changxia was originally just complaining. The main thing was to mention that the free-range chicken at Shanglin Yuanjian is good and provide everyone with an idea of ​​​​the ingredients.

Everyone here, except Aunt Yu’s master and apprentice, has an extremely noble status.

If you want to go to Linyuan Supervisor to get some ingredients back, it’s easy. At the worst, you’ll have to exchange them for something else.

When it came to the ingredients, Yan Xingxuan had already been excited. Zheng Qingran, who had just eaten the almonds, swallowed slightly and thought to herself, what would happen if she told her mother?

Her mother doesn't have a very good temper, so she's not a good candidate.

So, father?

My father is too old-fashioned and serious, which is not appropriate.

Big brother, second brother, third brother...

Zheng Qingran was thinking about the candidate in his mind, and the Guo siblings were also thinking about it.

However, after pondering over it, my ideas went astray.

Guo Sixue has really been on the battlefield, although she said she sneaked out quietly and rode all the way to Border City.

She had just turned thirteen at the time, and she only brought along a maid named Feiyan who knew a little bit about boxing and kicking.

When the General's Mansion discovered that the man was missing, the master and servant had already ridden out for an unknown number of cities.

Having been on the battlefield, I know the cruelty of war, the tension during war, and the bitter cold at the border.

Now I can be here, happily eating sweet and crispy almonds, all because of the border soldiers who guard the border day after day, year after year, and are always vigilant.

Because she has truly participated in it, she can feel more deeply and understand the cruelty of war, and at the same time, she is more sympathetic to the hardships of the soldiers.

In times of emergency, in order to achieve better results, many soldiers can only carry rations that are so hard that they can bite their teeth.

Sometimes when subsequent military supplies are not available, they can only eat what is available in the wild.

However, in the northwest border, a bitter cold land, there is not much to eat in the wild.

As the daughter of a general, although she had never participated in a forced march, she had prepared dry food with the chefs.

In order to be easy to carry, to carry light and simple, and to carry more weapons that are convenient for combat or defense, the lighter the dry food, the better.

The battlefield is inherently cruel, and the food is not good, let alone the sleep.

There is no telling how many sacrifices were made in the final battle.

Thinking of this, Guo Sixue felt a little sad, and her eyes also felt a little sore.

She lowered her head quietly, not wanting her momentary sentimentality to affect everyone's conversation and laughter.

Guo Sixue knew that once the border war broke out, her father and brothers would definitely make new contributions based on their abilities.

When the time comes, the military achievements will be outstanding, and the entire general's mansion will also become prominent.

However, sometimes, she really wishes that she was not so prominent.

Because beneath such prominence are piles of white bones and countless dead souls.

However, Guo Sixue clearly knows that some battles have to be fought.

If there is no fame on the battlefield, there will be no border troops to intimidate, and there will be no way to give those foreign countries with ill intentions a break.

If you are strong, he will not dare to touch you.

If you are weak, he will dare to come with a knife!

The war in the northwest is expected to start by the end of the year at the latest!

Your Majesty has been recuperating for so many years, which makes those foreign countries think that Jin is now weak and anyone can bully it!

These years of rest and recuperation are not without effect. Once war breaks out, reserve military supplies should not be a problem.

However, if the marching rations can be improved...

Maybe it was Xiao Nianzhi's ability that made Guo Sixue think about it.

However, she is a sensible girl and knows better than to force others into difficult situations.

Therefore, even if she had something in mind, she did not show it, let alone speak rashly.

Xiao Nianzhi was still listening to Yan Changxia talking about the chickens and ducks in Shanglinyuan Prison. She felt that Guo Sixue had not spoken for a long time. She turned her head in doubt, passed over Aunt Yu, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong with Snow Lady?"

?Are you worried about something?"

Her question attracted Yan Xingxuan's attention. Yan Changxia stopped talking, and Zheng Qingran also turned his head.

Everyone's eyes came over at once, including Guo Yinghui.

He was just listening to the excitement, but didn't notice his sister's abnormality. At this time, he also looked confused, not knowing what happened.

Guo Sixue shook her head and smiled: "It's okay."

Looking at her forced smile, it doesn't look like nothing is wrong.

However, if she doesn't want to say it, everyone shouldn't be too embarrassed.

Yan Changxia didn't want the atmosphere to be too gloomy, so she thought about it and mentioned something with a smile: "By the way, by the way, there is another interesting thing I want to share with you. When Uncle Wang was leaving the palace, he happened to run into someone who was acting mischievously at the entrance of the palace.

The two mistresses of Ganqing County."

For fear that Xiao Nianzhi would forget who this person was, she quickly added: "Sister, it's the girl and her mother who opened the door to your room that day."
