Liu Zhang was sitting on a wicker chair in the hall outside the door. The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect and served him a pot of Maojian, but he was not in the mood to enjoy tea at all at the moment. He frowned and kept thinking about the scene just now in his mind.
At that time, he was riding a horse, walking towards the princess mansion in a daze. According to Emperor Jing's arrangement, he didn't have much time for vacation. He had to rush back to the military camp early years ago. The army was approaching. How could he dare to take it lightly? .
A carriage came from the opposite side. The carriage was luxurious and decorated with tassels on the corners. The driver was only a boy in his teens.
This is the first person in this beautiful city who dares to block his way.
But he is no longer as domineering and rude as before, not to mention, he has no intention of getting angry with others, he just whispered angrily in dissatisfaction:
"Go away."
His horse can be recognized by ordinary people, not to mention the high-ranking people in Beijing. Such a red-blooded horse, tied with a pearl and jade tassel, has never been seen before. I have also heard about it in rumors.
The carriage was motionless. The coachman boy opened the curtain. The man inside was dressed in green clothes. His closed eyes slowly opened and he looked at Liu Zhang.
"What do you want to do, you coquettish fox? I advise you to calm down, otherwise, I will take back Niao Niao even if I kill you." Liu Zhang said angrily.
Tu Shansong held a piece of warm jade in his hand: "Instead of bickering with me here, Lieutenant, why not go to Chuanfang's shop and see the princess. Now she is being ignored as an unknown nobody."
When Liu Zhang heard this, he immediately tightened his horse's belly and rushed forward. But after taking two steps, he stopped in time: "Why didn't you save it yourself and told me so kindly?"
Tu Shansong threw the warm jade away Bian: "We people in Qingqiu are only interested in profit, but people in Jingguo are only interested in love. You and I each take what we need."
After that, he lowered the curtain and ordered Shubai to set off, but outside the curtain , Liu Zhang suddenly said:
" You'd better do it for profit, Tu Shansong. If you get angry with Niao Niao because of your father's affairs, you will do the biggest mistake in your life."
After that, he rode off to Chuanfang. Small shop, after a while, Xin Yi came out of the wing room Come, with a look of joy on his face, followed by Tu Shanling. He thought that Tu Shansong was unwilling to come forward because he was related to Tu Shanling, but Liu Zhang did not dare to take it lightly. Just when he wanted to step forward to ask something, he saw Tu Shanling His eyes signaled Xin Yi.
"Princess, don't forget the promise you made to me."
"I won't forget, I won't forget." Xin Yi responded, patting her chest.
The people immediately separated, and now only Xin Yi and his party were left. Liu Zhang first looked at Jing Mo who was in a daze, and said disdainfully: "This is the sick Yi Wang San Young Master?”
Xin Yi was afraid that the two people would fight each other, so he grabbed Liu Zhang and said to the two people behind him: "You go back first, I will go for a walk with Brother Wang."
She finally completed a big thing today, but she had to Celebrate, celebrate!
After Xiao Cong and Xin Yi exchanged glances, they understood the meaning and pulled Jingmo back.
How can he return unscathed with the clues he finally obtained from Qingqiu?
After they parted ways, Liu Zhang and Xin Yi, each riding a horse, went to the wilderness outside the city to relax. " That is the border between us and the Moon Country. I will go back in a few days.”
Xin Yi pulled the reins tightly: "You have been living in a military camp since you were a boy. Now you have finally realized your ambition as a young general, but you are so stressed. How does it feel in your heart?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhang said, First he chuckled twice and looked lazy: "There is a saying in folk medicine shops. , shouting, I hope that people in the world are not sick, why not put medicine on the shelf to make people fall into the dust. Although I am not as soft-hearted as the person who saves lives, but seeing the people displaced..."
As he said this, he suddenly felt choked in his chest and stopped. After a while, he continued with a smile: "I would rather be that dandy in Jingcheng who everyone shouts about. "
Xin Yi sighed and looked into Liu Zhang's eyes: "War is inevitable, but, brother Wang, I should be grateful for you on behalf of Jingguo and all the people. You."
Liu Zhang patted Ma's neck sheepishly: "Ahem, I'm not a foreigner. People, stop talking about this, Niao Niao, what are your plans? If I go to fight again, won't you be lonely alone? In the animal cage behind, no one dares to do anything to you!”
"Beast cage?" Why didn't she remember this setting?
Liu Zhang scratched his head in embarrassment. The young general looked particularly sad against the backdrop of the setting sun. His figure under the high ponytail became taller and taller. He lowered his head and said:
"It's me. A garden built for you since you were a child is just a garden your father has built for you. My mother is afraid of ferocious beasts, so it’s not very big. Waiting for the General’s Mansion..."
Before they finished speaking, a beast roar interrupted their conversation. Following the sound, they saw a snow-white dumpling in the woods. He was walking back and forth, and almost fell off the branch, so he screamed.
Lu Xinyi dismounted and looked at the snow-white dumpling. He saw that this small furry ball had two big, bright, watery round eyes, and a soft beard around his mouth. Under the setting sun, It emits a light that is as bright as silver threads, rather like a civet cat.
When this guy saw a stranger coming, he first avoided him, but after sniffing carefully, he ran towards Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang mentioned the little guy: "This is the little beast I have newly tamed for you. This guy's name is 'Fearing Beast'. Ah Fu is lazy. When I was away, this guy happened to have sex with you. "A companion."
Xin Yi was shocked, isn't this the little beast that can save his master's life at a critical moment? What about him?
"Brother Wang, I can't afford such a valuable thing..." Lu Xinyi resisted.
Liu Zhang looked at her lovingly, smiled, and stuffed the little guy into her arms: "It's so precious, it's just a little animal."
"But I heard that this guy can be in times of crisis..."
"Then if there is trouble in Jingcheng, you must hold it and escape."
Xin Yi couldn't believe it. Looking at Liu Zhang, she only remembered that he was a paper man with a love mind, but looking at his eyes now, with the endless tenderness in his eyes, she actually felt that what was in front of her at this moment was a living person of flesh and blood. .
She looked at his eyelashes, the sun's rays reflected in his eyes, and his Adam's apple rolling up and down. It was obvious that he was just like her at this moment...
She insisted on pushing the fearful beast in her hand. Go out and return it to his hand: "No, I already owe you too much. You are an admirable hero, there is no need to do it for me..."
"Niao Niao," Liu Zhang lowered his head, interrupting her retreat, "You don't have to be polite to me, I owe you, and I will never be able to repay you for what I have done."
He touched his arms. The little beasts in the middle, under the setting sun, their shadows are extra long, and the beautiful animal patterns on the young general's arms become more and more dazzling. "Recently, I often think back to what happened when I was a child. How great it would be if Jingguo had always been so peaceful. Niao Niao, when everything is solved, we can go back to the life we had before, do you think it would be okay?"
On a heavy rainy night, he was forced to kneel in the courtyard. Xin Yi pulled him, regardless of anyone's obstruction, and insisted on taking him to the Holy Lord for questioning, encouraging him to tell the truth about his injustice. .
On a snowy night, when he was sick and lying in bed with a fever, Xin Yi pushed Chuncheng in. Others were afraid that he was a plague, but she was the only one who threatened that if the prince was not cured, she would get the same disease as him.
Countless days where grass grows and orioles fly, they tease animals and play together. She puffs up her little cheeks: "If others are afraid and fearful, it can make me protect the people I want to protect. So what if I have a bad reputation? I have a good reputation." People are only burdened by rumors, which only adds to their troubles."
She encouraged him little by little, making him vow to change his weak self and become a general who could guard the border for her.
Liu Zhang stuffed the fear beast in his hand back into Xin Yi's arms: "Don't you still believe me? When did I never fulfill my promise to you? Help me take good care of this fear beast. As for the rumors, but It’s just for good luck.”
"Xinyi, you are my home. If you are safe, I will be safe..."
As he said that, Lu Xinyi suddenly felt that he was a little cruel to him, and couldn't help but want to Tell him everything.
"Liu Zhang, actually I..."
"Don't say it!" He interrupted hastily, with a bit of bitterness in his eyes, "It doesn't matter, you have always been free. I have also figured it out. If he If it's not good for you, just come to me and tell me, I...I will always be on your side."
The two walked in the wilderness for a while, and when they went back, Liu Zhang specially took him with him. Following Xin Yi, he passed by the barbecue restaurant again.
The familiar taste, hot food, and a pot of wine, Xin Yi only feels that life is nothing more than this.
While he was enjoying his meal, the young man beside him ate and left. The boy came to him to pay the bill, but he said boldly:
"Call your boss here and ask him carefully if I need to pay the bill!"
The waiter had no choice but to turn around and go find the boss. Lu Xinyi was about to complain, but Liu Zhang grabbed her and signaled her Keep reading.
I saw the young man pull up the collar around his neck again, covering most of his face, put on the bamboo hat again, and leaned back, looking like a wealthy young man from Jingcheng.
The boss came up under the guidance of the boy. Seeing the arrogance of the visitor, he carefully looked at his attire, raincoat, bamboo hat, coarse cloth and rags. Although he did not look like a member of the official family, he was more rogue than a local ruffian. He is more upright and strong, and he looks like a master who is not easy to mess with.
The shop owner smiled and said: "Sir, this is a small shop with a small business. Could it be that the service is not attentive? I'm sorry for your words!"
The young man threw the bamboo hat on the ground, closed his eyes and shouted:
“You are so ignorant, you actually asked me to pay!”
The shop owner was also confused. But he had no choice but to patiently explain: "Sir, it's natural for you to pay for things you buy. Could it be that my waiter asked you if you made a miscalculation?"
Around People were already getting angry, and the big man stood up: "It's ridiculous, there are still people who dare to freeload under the emperor's feet? If you continue to act nonsense, look at me, grandpa, I will beat you!"
"That's right!" The echoes around him gradually became louder. The young man had no choice but to stand up, took out two copper coins from his arms, and took out a few silver ingots from his backpack, and stuffed them all into the shop owner.
The shop owner had never seen such a battle before, and he hurriedly excused himself: "Sir, this small shop can't afford it!"
Seeing this, Xin Yi couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on his face, but he saw Liu Zhang. He looked at her with a smile, as if he was confidently waiting for a good show.
As expected, the young man let out a long sigh and just handed the money in his hand to the shop owner.
"Dad, if you really ask your son for money, you can bear it no matter how much you ask for!" As he said that, in the astonishment of the shop owner, the young man pulled off the mask on his face and knelt down with a plop. land.
When everyone was astonished, the shop owner was shocked at first, then threw himself at his son, and then looked up with tears streaming down his face.
"Son, why did you come back!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present was deeply moved by this scene of reunion. There is nothing more joyful than this moment in the world.
Liu Zhang took a chopstick of meat to Xin Yi and said proudly in a low voice:
"It's the Chinese New Year, and I asked your Majesty to ask them to come back and see their families."
Lu Xinyi suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Zhang, and then took another look at the father and son. The scene of crowding, the fifteenth anniversary of joining the army and returning home without any relatives is the pain of being drafted. The general has a bald head and the beauty is sleeping on an empty pillow. It is also an indelible pain in the hearts of the people. Now, finally, a small number of people can enjoy some relief. She suddenly felt that the Liu Zhang in her eyes had become taller.
Like her, they have ideas and are working hard to change the destiny of their place.
Conscripted into the army for fifteen years
Han·Anonymous
Conscripted into the army for fifteen years,
He did not return until he was eighty.
Meeting a fellow villager:
Who is there in the family?
Looking from a distance it is the Jun family,
There are many pine and cypress tombs.
The rabbit enters from the sinus of the dog,
Pheasants fly from the beams.
