Chapter Twenty-Eight: Qilin Station Leisurely Narration
After Yue Qianming's entire army was deployed, it was December 20th. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the young men in Young Eagle Guards felt more and more homesick. Yue Qianming then arranged for a group of soldiers from the Wujue Squadron to monitor the bandit movements in Lintao Village at all times. He led the guards camp and took the Young Eagle Guards with him to prepare to return to the capital.
The clouds were slightly warm and the sun was getting warm, and everyone was getting ready to pack up. The young Eagle Guard boys were all riding on falcons and heading towards Kyoto. Jiang Chen originally wanted to go with Yue Qianming, but Yue Qianming dissuaded him, saying: "You are the Young Eagle Guard captain, how can you escape?" Team."
After Jiang Chen thought about it, he walked with the young eagle guards. The speed of the eagle guard was faster than that of the electric ox. The young eagle guards were flying thousands of miles high in the sky, and the cold wind hit their faces. They each gathered their spiritual energy to resist the wind and cold. Only Jiang Chen's body was different. I am not afraid of the cold weather, but I enjoy it very much.
Dahei's aura has stabilized, but there is still no sign of waking up. The aura emitted by Dahei made Jiang Chen's eagle mount very uneasy at first, but now the alien eagle mount has adapted to Dahei's aura. However, this falconed eagle is still suppressed by the black aura at all times.
"Captain Lieutenant, Qilin Station is ahead of us. Should we take a rest here and wait for General Qianming?"
Jiang Chen was thinking that Yue Wujing should have already embarked on his return journey, imagining the scene of the two meeting again after a long separation. He felt a little happy and a little nervous. The nervousness was because he hadn't seen each other for three years, and he didn't know what Yue Wujing had become now. , can the two of them still be as close as before?
Jiang Chen, who was trapped in the sorrow of youth, suddenly received a message from Zhao Xinchen and woke up. He quickly calculated the itinerary of Yue Qianming and others, and then ordered the team to start descending to Qilin Station.
When the young men arrived at Qilin Post, the post chief had already come out to welcome them and arranged the relevant matters. They entered the post house, packed their clothes, gathered their friends and sat in the lobby, waiting for Yue Qianming and others.
It was winter, and there were very few travelers. There were only three people sitting at a table in the lobby. Judging from the expressions of the three people, they were led by the young general who was about twenty-five years old. After the Young Eagle Guard boy entered the inn, The young man stared at Jiang Chen carefully, as if he was thinking about something.
After Jiang Chen felt the man's gaze, he also looked towards that man. This man had dark skin and resolute eyes. Although his military uniform was neat, his appearance was slightly slovenly, and his face was covered with beards that had never been tidied up.
After Jiang Chen saw that person, he had no impression of him, but judging from his appearance, he should have been stationed at the border defense line all year round. After the two people's eyes met, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded to the person and said hello. The man also nodded as a reply and no longer looked at Jiang Chen and others, but there was still a look of memory between his eyebrows.
Everyone sat at the table and drank water. Three to five quarters of an hour passed. They heard the sound of horses neighing and the sound of armor cracking outside the inn door. Jiang Chen knew that Yue Qianming and others were coming, and he and Yuchide hurriedly He stood up and went out to greet him, while the other young men sat up straighter.
After Jiang Chen and Yu Chide paid tribute to Yue Qianming as juniors, they led the way and led Yue Qianming into the lobby. Yue Qianming glanced at the abrupt young general among the young men, and then looked at Jiang with a smile in his eyes. Chen and Yuchide said, "Don't you know him?"
When the young general saw that it was Yue Qianming who entered the hall, he quickly stood up and came over to greet him. After paying a military salute to Yue Qianming, his body stood upright. Jiang Chen looked at the person in front of him and shook his head. The young man heard this When Yue Qianming said this, he was also trying to recall that he must have seen Jiang Chen and Yuchi De, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
"Jufei, these are Jiang Chen and Yuchi De, you should know them, right?"
"General, I really don't know Jiang Xiaowei."
"Your father never told you why you were forcibly sent to the northern border?"
"It's true that I didn't say it, but I guessed afterwards why he was sent to the north to join the army."
"Prime Minister Bai seems to be very fond of your only son!"
Jiang Chen and Yuchide listened to the conversation between the two. From Yue Qianming's tone, they and Yuchide should know the person in front of them, but Jiang Chen couldn't remember it. Suddenly, Yuchide beside him asked in surprise: "You It's the dude we met on New Year's Eve one year, the one Bai Jufei who was beaten into a pig's head by Aunt Qin for teasing Sister Xiangming? How did you become like this?"
Hearing Yu Chide's surprised question, all the young men looked towards Bai Jufei. It turned out that this was Bai Jufei, who was famous in Feng'an City, the son of Prime Minister Bai, and the youngest regiment commander in the North. It's just that this man is stationed in one of the five border towns in the North all year round. In Tieyang City, he rarely returns to the Northern Border Military Division camp.
Jiang Chen looked at the person in front of him and couldn't connect him with the dude he met when he was seven years old. Bai Jufei's face turned dark red when Yu Chide exposed the embarrassing incident in public.
Looking at Yu Chide and Jiang Chen who had been staring at him, Bai Jufei touched his cheeks awkwardly, laughed and said: "So you are the little fat man and the kid who did the trick back then, no wonder you look so familiar. "I didn't expect that one of you is the son of the eldest princess, and the other is the son of Commander Yuchi. The one who beat me back then was..."
"Of course it's my mother, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and among them is Uncle Yue's wife, Aunt Lu. Why do you still want to take revenge?"
"How dare you, how dare you! The fault was all mine. I was ignorant and dissolute. I just didn't expect that my father would bear so much pressure on my behalf."
"Okay, Achen and Ade, now you should learn from Jufei. He served in the army for seven years and became the commander of the army guarding a city."
"I am not worthy of it. The name of Young Eagle Guard has spread throughout the northern border army. The general should ask Captain Jiang for advice."
"I'm just following the same pattern. The teacher taught me well. General Bai should ask the teacher for advice more."
"You two are young, why should you imitate being mature and pretending to be polite? You are both a good man from the National University of Zhao Xin, please be more free and easy."
Yue Qianming slapped the three of them heavily on the shoulders, and then led the three of them to find a secluded place. The Yi Cheng immediately arranged for the servants in the hall to start bringing the prepared food. The three of them chatted while eating, and Jiang Chen and Yuchide were really curious as to how the former playboy could become like this.
When Jiang Chen and Yu Chide heard about Bai Jufei's name in Beijing, they thought that Bai Jufei could rise in the northern border. It was only because Yue Qianming was entrusted and taken care of by Prime Minister Bai that he would become famous in the northern border army and spread it to Kyoto. The two came to the capital. Since the northern border, I have never met Bai Jufei, so I gradually forgot about this person. I didn't expect to meet here today.
"Some time ago, you reported the change of defense. It turned out that you also wanted to return to Beijing to visit relatives?"
"Exactly, my father wrote a letter saying that there was something going on at home, but he didn't explain what it was. I was worried and had to go back."
"It's been seven years. You should go back and see Prime Minister Bai and your mother. Prime Minister Bai's body has always been strong. As for your mother's body, I heard it's also in good health. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"Then I know why my father asked me to go back."
"Oh? What is it that makes Prime Minister Bai urgently recruit you back?"
Bai Jufei smiled bitterly and was silent for a while before adding, "It should be about my marriage."
"That's a happy event! Why are you worried? Are you dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by Prime Minister Bai? Or do you already have someone you like?"
Bai Jufei's face turned crimson when he heard Yue Qianming's questioning. Looking at Jiang Chen and Yu Chide's curious expressions, his face became even more embarrassed. Seeing Bai Jufei's hesitant expression, Yue Qianming knew that he had something to hide, and stopped asking about his private affairs. , changed the topic and talked about some military matters.
In the evening, Jiang Chen and Yu Chide took a walk in the courtyard of the post house and talked about what they would do when they see Yue Wujing again. Then they met and returned to Beijing to choose a meeting gift for their old friends after a long separation. Sitting there, Bai Jufei met him unexpectedly.
Jiang Chen and Yu Chide glanced at each other, and then stepped forward to say hello to Bai Jufei. The two of them had almost forgotten what happened back then, and seeing that Bai Jufei's personality had changed so much, they and Jiang Chen were in the army. There was no difference between the iron-blooded soldiers I had seen before, and I already admired Bai Jufei in my heart.
Bai Jufei looked at Jiang Chen and asked each other. There was a jar of wine with an unknown name on the stone table, and a large porcelain bowl was filled with half a bowl of wine. It seemed that Bai Jufei was drinking alone under the moon. Bai Jufei asked. Can the two of them drink? Jiang Chen was fine, but Yuchi De was already a little hungry for wine.
Bai Jufei immediately called the servants of the post house to fill two more bowls. After adding wine to Jiang Chen and the others, he picked up the wine bowl again, touched Zarong's cheek, and said with a smile: "What happened back then was that I was really young and ignorant. , I hereby apologize to you two."
"General Bai is serious. We have long forgotten what happened back then."
"The fact that you were beaten into a pig's head by Aunt Qin has long since disappeared. It's just that your change has been a bit drastic, and I didn't even recognize it at that time."
"Ade, don't mention the past anymore."
"It doesn't matter, if it hadn't happened back then, there wouldn't be Bai Jufei now. Maybe Bai Jufei now would still be a dandy in Feng'an City."
"General Bai, can you tell me why you have changed so much?"
"There's nothing to say. Only after seeing the passion can you know what a real man is. But I really didn't expect that the person who had the conflict was actually the eldest princess. Fortunately, the eldest princess doesn't care about the villain's fault, otherwise I would have brought trouble to the family. What a disaster."
"We have never known each other before. Now General Bai's reputation has spread throughout Kyoto, and he is the object of all the ladies in Kyoto. During the day, it seems that General Bai is not satisfied with the marriage arranged at home."
"Young Master Yuchi is joking. Now Bai only wants to protect the country and the people, but he has no time to care about his children's personal affairs."
"You've gone a bit too far in your sexual transformation! You look like you're pure and celibate, which will make many young girls sad."
Bai Jufei immediately laughed, picked up the wine bowl, touched it with Jiang Chen, and drank the wine in one gulp. The wine was not good, spicy and pungent. After Yuchide followed Bai Jufei's example and drank it all in one gulp, he almost lost his temper. Jiang Chen was choked to tears and annoyed. The same was true for Jiang Chen. Bai Jufei looked at the embarrassment of the two of them and couldn't help laughing.
"The wine is not good. You two should be more careful. But this wine is the favorite of brothers in the army. It is something that men can drink."
“Really delicious.”
"Captain Jiang, Master Yuchi, and Mr. Bai would like to ask you about someone. Can you tell me?"
Jiang Chen and Yu Chide looked at each other in confusion, and Jiang Chen asked: "Who is it?"
"Who is that young woman who was traveling with you back then?"
"Are you talking about Sister Xiangming?" "What do you want to do?" Jiang Chen and Yuchide asked at the same time. However, Jiang Chen behaved as usual, while Yuchide's reaction was a little fierce.
Bai Jufei didn't understand why Yuchide reacted so fiercely, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to apologize to her. I also want to make amends with Her Royal Highness the Princess and others. Although it is a little late, it is also Bai's heart.
"
"No need, Aunt Qin and others have forgotten about this a long time ago." Seeing that Jiang Chen was opening his mouth to agree, Yuchide quickly said first.
"Ade, since General Bai has his heart, why should you do this?"
"I……"
"It's okay. Mr. Yuchi is right. Her Royal Highness the Princess must have forgotten these little things a long time ago. Why should I cause trouble for nothing."
Bai Jufei picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Jiang Chen again. He just took a deep look at Yuchide, with an unconcealable look of loneliness in his eyes. Thinking about it in his mind, it seems that the Yuchide in front of him should also like that man named
