The ruined temple where the army stopped to rest was quite spacious. Although the number of people who came back this time was not large, it was still in the thousands. The ruined temple could accommodate them all.

There was nothing in the ruined temple. After a little tidying up, it turned out to be very open and bright. There were only a few stone tables. The soldiers didn't know they were coming back, but they had already packed up the stone tables and were waiting for them. No, they just came back and put them on the table.

There was just a lot of stuff piled up - wine, meat, snacks, everything.

When Rong Huazheng and Yuwen Xiyan came in, they saw the soldiers diligently putting these things on the table.

Those things were still not very hot, but they were still a little warm. Rong Huazheng couldn't help but be greedy when he saw Guijian. He was slightly moved and said, "Brothers and sisters, thank you for your hard work and prepared so many things."

"General, you misunderstood. These things are not from our army." The soldier who was able to talk to Rong Huazheng said, his honest and dark face turned red slightly, "These were sent by the people nearby after you left. A lot of them were given at once.

Here comes the stuff, these wines are specially given by the common people to the generals and generals."

"Why are you just collecting things from the common people!" Rong Huazheng frowned and said disapprovingly: "The common people are also having a hard time. If we collect their things, they may be hungry during the New Year." There are so many things that are not worth just one or two buns.

It's such a small thing, it wouldn't be good if it ended up being known as military corruption and bribery.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Qin Shuying stepped in and said first, "My subordinates asked my brothers to accept these things."

Rong Huazheng's face became even worse. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Vice General Qin, you have been in the army for such a long time, why would you do such a thing?" Isn't this a violation of the law?

Qin Shuying smiled bitterly and said: "The general doesn't know something. Everyone knows that our northwest frontier army is returning to Beijing. Every time we pass by a populated place, there are people waiting for us. When they see us, they rush up and can't even stop us. No.

They refused to leave even after collecting their belongings, saying that this was their intention, to reward their brothers and generals in the army..."

"Girl, it's really not my brothers' fault for this." General Qingli glanced sideways at Rong Huazheng and said angrily: "If I'm to blame, it's because you're too popular. Old man, I haven't been treated like you since I've been a general for decades.

, the people are all here for you!"

"Ah?" Do you think she is the initiator?

"Pfft!" The young man on the side laughed, pulled Rong Hua Zheng to sit down, and poured a few glasses of wine while saying: "Sister Zheng, to be honest, when I first came over to join the northwest army and saw this situation, I also

I was scared."

"...Really?" Rong Huazheng murmured, not knowing how to react.

"I lied to you!" The little boy rolled his eyes and said without any difference, "We will set off again in half an hour. There is a relatively prosperous town a few miles away from here.

The street is quite wide, and when you see it for yourself, you will know whether I lied or not."

"Has the situation of people giving food to people been happening during this time?" Rong Huazheng asked General Qingli.

"Ever since we left the mountain trails and came to inhabited places, they will appear."

"This atmosphere is not very good. I think it will affect the reputation of our northwest army." Rong Huazheng said seriously: "Although they are all our Da Ying army, there are still rifts between the army and the army. If others interfere with our

One book, wouldn’t that be..."

Yuwen Xiyan interrupted Ronghua Zheng, "Okay, okay, sister Zheng, don't worry too much. Who are you? Why do you need to worry about such little tricks? It's a good thing to win people's hearts. Only people who don't have enough people will do some things."

Little hands and feet. Besides, we are all hungry. Let’s put aside all the rules and regulations for now and eat first. Don’t you want to have a drink with the general?"

"But..." Rong Huazheng still had worries in her heart. She was afraid that she would make it difficult for Yu Wencan by doing something special.

"Sister Zheng, you really don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it for you if something happens. If I can't take it, there's Brother Can. Can Brother Can still make you feel wronged?" Yuwen Xiyan glanced at him.

Looking at Rong Hua Zheng, he said angrily and asked General Qingli to take a seat.

Seeing that Rong Huazheng still had something to say, he quickly picked up a glass of wine and gave it to Rong Huazheng: "Sister Zheng, drink and drink." After saying that, he asked Qin Shuying to sit down and have a meal with them. Qin Shuying refused him repeatedly.

I've already eaten, and I still have things to do, so I have to leave first.

Yuwen Xiyan and General Qingli had been hungry for who knows how long. They ate vigorously as soon as they sat down. Rong Huazheng couldn't say anything when they looked like this, so they ate together.

Halfway through the meal, General Qingli remembered that he wanted to have a drink with Rong Huazheng. He raised his glass and said, "Girl, don't mind. The old man hasn't eaten since last night. He just made such a big move and is about to starve."

Come on, let’s drink now.”

Rong Huazheng also picked up the wine glass and said angrily: "Old man, why are you so polite? Besides, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach. If your stomach becomes upset, won't my brothers and I be the ones who suffer?"

"You girl, you don't have a good word to say!" General Qingli said in a feigned rage. After Rong Huazheng reached out to clink his wine glass with him, he raised his head and drank the hot Shao Daozi in one breath.

"General, please don't blame me yet. I haven't even said anything to make you upset!" Rong Hua Zheng snorted, took out the letter from her chest that the two little brats asked her to deliver and threw it to General Qingli, "Here, this

It’s written to you.”

General Qingli glanced at the envelope, and there were four characters written on it: "Grandpa Qingli". He knew that character. He once taught the two children how to calligraphy. He could tell who wrote it at a glance.

Suddenly it lit up, and she laughed so happily that she reached for the letter, "Girl, is this what those two little devils wrote to me?"

Rong Huazheng's answer was a heavy snort. He didn't even glance at General Qingli, but just gritted his teeth and grinded the tough beef in his mouth.

The little kid Yuwen Xiyan had not seen his two younger siblings for a long time. When he heard that the letter was written by them, he immediately curiously put his head over to read the words on the envelope. He was surprised and said: "This letter is really well written. My brother wrote it well."

Or was it written by my sister?”

"You are so good at handwriting even when you are only a little older." Rong Huazheng was congested in his heart. Nothing he heard was pleasant to his ears, so he did not forget to teach him a lesson: "Bad boy, didn't I tell you that you are an uncle?

They are your nephews."

The little kid was sprayed with dust and touched the tip of his nose in despair. From the corner of his eye, he saw General Qingli opening the letter. He decided to ignore the weird person for the time being and leaned over to read the letter.

Rong Huazheng was so angry at the brat's actions that he almost wanted to break his ears. He gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time. He drank several cups of Shao Knife to let the anger of the wine overwhelm the anger in his heart, so he did not do so.

General Qingli is not a generous person. He has received a lot of letters from the military in his life, and few personal letters. Now he has two little brats writing to him. How can he be willing to share them with others?

.pushed away Yuwen Xiyan’s eager head, “Go, go, what are you looking at, little brat!”

"Grandpa Qingli, please let me take a look too!" Yuwen Xiyan refused to give up and looked at General Qingli with his beautiful eyes.

General Qingli showed no pity for him at all and snorted: "What's your name, grandpa? Your father and I are of the same generation!"

Rong Hua Zheng: "..."

Yuwen Xiyan: "..."

Yu Wen Xiyan was disappointed and stopped rushing to see Rong Hua Zheng. She looked at Rong Hua Zheng resentfully, "Sister Zheng, I want to meet my brothers and sisters. Can you take some time to send me back to the palace first?"

Rong Hua stopped holding the meat with his chopsticks and raised his lips coldly: "No!"

Yuwen Xiyan actually pulled the Ronghua Zheng like a child and asked coquettishly: "Why?"

"No reason." Rong Huazheng pinched his face hard, causing him to scream in pain and then narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Sister Zheng, you abused me again!"

Rong Huazheng didn't feel ashamed at all, and after humming, she started eating seriously.

In fact, when the little brat said that, her heart moved. She didn't want the child to suffer from sleeping rough on the road, but she understood herself that if she went back, she would not come back, so...

"Okay, Sister Zheng, I was actually joking." Yuwen Xi said with a smile: "As a young general, how can I leave the army casually? Although I am young, I have a strong sense of the army." In fact, the most important thing is

The reason was not this, but that he had just met Rong Huazheng, so he couldn't bear to leave immediately.

"You are not from the northwest frontier." Rong Huazheng exposed his excuse and thought of something, "How long will you be back this time?"

"A year and a half."

Rong Huazheng narrowed his eyes and looked at him intently: "The first time you join the army and become a general, it will take at least three years before you leave. Why did you come back this time?" And it took a year and a half!

Normally, a general's visit to his hometown only lasts about half a year, but for him to come all at once for a year and a half. There must be some people in the army who are not convinced.

Yuwen Xiyan didn't expect Rong Huazheng to ask such a question, and her eyes were a little dodgeful, "I'm special!"

"What's so special about you? As a general, where do you get so many vacations?"

"I'm still young, and I still have a lot to learn in Kyoto!"

Rong Huazheng did not comment on this answer. As a member of the army, she naturally knew the rules of the army. Soldiers were different from others. Sometimes, they might not be able to go back even once every ten years. She had not seen the army for three years in the military camp.

I have gone back on a large scale, and this time I heard that all the four major border areas have received imperial decrees and returned to Beijing.

Rong Huazheng turned his eyes and thought, "Is there something big to do in Kyoto?"

"Is there something big to do? What big thing?" Yuwen Xiyan looked confused, "Sister Zheng, didn't you just come back from the palace? Don't you still know about something big?"
