After a long time, Zhang Ruomei pushed Fang Zian away with a blushing face because Fang Zian's hands had become irregular.

"This is a military camp. Your men will come at any time. You... where will you go to me at night..." Zhang Ruomei stammered.

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhang Ruomei felt panicked when she was stared at by Fang Zian, and turned around to straighten her clothes and hair. Fang Zian smiled and said, "Why don't you have any words on your forehead?"

Zhang Ruomei was stunned, turned around and asked, "What are you doing with the tattoo?"

Fang Zian said: "Those eight characters are tattooed. Serve the country with your heart and swear to kill the gold thief. Aren't your brothers all tattooed? I saw you wrapping your forehead with a green cloth on the way, so I thought you were tattooed too."

Zhang Ruomei gave Fang Zian a roll of his eyes and said, "I won't do it? It's ugly as hell. Besides, what does the tattoo on the face mean? If you really want to serve the country and kill the enemy, you don't need to tattoo it on your face."

Fang Zian nodded and smiled: "That's absolutely true. Having it tattooed on the face doesn't mean anything."

Zhang Ruomei said: "Actually, tattooing is not compulsory. Unlike in the past, those who joined the Loyalty Army had to have tattoos. This is no longer the case. Many people in our army have no tattoos on their faces."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "I don't care about others, but don't do this. Don't ruin such a beautiful face."

Zhang Ruomei said angrily: "If I become ugly, you won't want me anymore, right?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Of course not. Am I a person who cares about face? Face is temporary, but the heart is permanent. Everyone gets old and ugly sometimes."

Zhang Ruomei said: "Bah, you didn't mean what you said. Then why didn't you write me a letter after I've been away for so long? You don't care about my life or death."

Fang Zian sighed: "I want to care, but how do I know where you are? You would rather write to Ningyue than to me. I didn't trouble you, but you came to blame me. I want to write to you

, but where to send it? Do you want the Jin people to send us a message?"

Zhang Ruomei chuckled and said: "I just said a few words to you, and I didn't forgive you. I thought we would never meet each other in this life, so I didn't write to you. I asked Ningyue to take care of you for me. I had not said anything before.

I can get someone to help deliver the letter, and then there will be no chance. We have been trapped in the mountains for a long time."

Fang Zian nodded and said: "I know. You have suffered. You must have encountered a lot of difficulties now. It can be seen that you are trapped here and cannot move. I am afraid that the supply of food and grass supplies is insufficient. Look at your loyal army.

What are the soldiers wearing? They all look good, so the situation must be very optimistic."

Zhang Ruomei sighed and said: "Yes, the situation is very difficult. We lack everything and have nothing. The soldiers can only eat two meals a day, one meal each for those who work sparingly. Weapons, armor and clothing are also in short supply. Indeed.

It’s been a very difficult life. Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. I won’t be able to finish all these things in a while. I’m here to invite you and Mr. Shi to a banquet. My brother held a banquet in the council hall for you, Mr. Shi and

The generals who are accompanying us asked me to invite you. Let’s go now.”

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Your brother is quite polite. He seems to like my brother-in-law very much."

Zhang Ruomei blushed and said: "Brother is actually very good to me. He naturally values ​​my husband more. In fact, it's because I didn't obey his orders. He is actually not the kind of stubborn person. Although he

He is the leader of the Zhongyi Army, but he shares the joys and sorrows with his brothers, and is at the forefront in battles. Everyone obeys him. If it weren't for my brother, the Zhongyi Army would have dispersed long ago. If his words offend you, don't blame him."

Fang Zian nodded and smiled: "I understand, he is just a straight-tempered person. From his standpoint, he really hates the court. How can I blame him?

We went to call someone, but Mr. Shi had already gone to bed, so we didn’t bother him. He was very tired from the journey."

Zhang Ruomei nodded in agreement, followed Fang Zian out of the house to the military camp, and called Leihu Zhao Gang and Feng Yiming to go to the meeting hall of the main camp of the Zhongyi Army.

The pine torches in the meeting hall were burning brightly, and the inside was bright. When Zhang Ruomei, Fang Zian and others entered the hall, a dozen men sitting at the wooden table all stood up and faced Fang Zian.

The others looked over. Zhang Diwan, who was sitting in the middle and at the top, laughed and stood up.

"Here we come, brother-in-law. I'm waiting for you. Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Those dozen men were obviously the backbone of the Loyal Army. They were all dark-skinned and well-dressed in armor, but they all had dejected faces, looking tired and weather-beaten.

"Come on, come on, let me introduce you to all the brothers. This is Ruomei's husband, Fang... Fang Zian. Fang Zian, this is General Xiao, this is General Meng, this is General Li, this is..." Zhang Di

Wan introduced enthusiastically.

Fang Zian bowed his hands in front of everyone and greeted everyone. The generals also returned the bows one after another, but their eyes were very unkind. Without exception, these people had no good impression of the people coming from the imperial court, and many of them just bowed their hands perfunctorily, with indifferent expressions.

"Commander Zhang, generals. Mr. Shi is tired from traveling and traveling, and he really can't hold on anymore. He has already fallen asleep. I apologize to Commander Zhang and the generals on his behalf. It's not that he is rude, but that he

I really can't hold it anymore." Fang Zian explained with his hands in hand.

Before Zhang Diwan could say anything, a general cursed in a deep voice: "What kind of thing is this? You show off your appearance as soon as you arrive? He didn't even come to the banquet hosted by the commander-in-chief. Is he deliberately trying to show off?"

"That's it. What the hell! He is an official of the imperial court, but not an official of our Zhongyi Army. Why is he putting on official airs in front of us?" Another general also echoed in a deep voice.

"Xiao Gui, Li Dazhi, what do you mean? How do you speak?" Zhang Ruomei frowned and shouted softly.

"Miss Ruomei, we are not scolding you as a wishful man, we are scolding Mr. Shi for not giving him face. What's the matter? Can't we even scold him?"

"Yes, Miss Ruomei, although we know nothing about this wishful husband who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, if you say yes, then that's it. We treat him as one of our own. The others are from the south.

Man, we have no obligation to look good on him."

The two generals refused to show weakness and retorted in a deep voice.

Zhang Ruomei frowned and shouted: "Are you two deliberately looking for trouble? Why are you playing tricks on your own people? If you have the ability, go kill the golden dog."

Xiao Gui sneered: "Miss Ruomei, it's not that we don't dare to go, but the commander-in-chief has given an order not to leave the mountain. Do you think we want to be trapped here every day?"

Zhang Ruomei was furious, stamped her feet and said to Zhang Diwan: "Look at your brothers, they are so rude. Aren't you going to a banquet? Why do you say you don't have these?"

Zhang Diwan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Sister, everyone is in a bad temper right now. I just said a few words casually. Why should you care about it? Don't argue anymore. If Mr. Shi doesn't come, won't it be over if my brother-in-law comes?

?Xiao Gui, you guys don’t show your face to me, I know you are holding back your anger, just come at me when you are angry."

Xiao Gui and others hurriedly raised their hands and said: "Commander, we don't mean that. It's just that these people from the southern court are too pretentious and don't give the Commander-in-Chief face. We don't care what kind of official he is. When he comes to our place, he has to keep it. Rules. We have brought out the best food and wine, but we still don’t know how to show appreciation. It’s really annoying.”

Zhang Diwan waved his hands and said: "Come on, what are you doing with the evil fire everywhere? Sit down, everyone."

Xiao Gui and others are here

Then he sat down. Zhang Diwan waved to Fang Zian and the others and said, "Brother-in-law, the people with you should also sit down."

Fang Zian kept listening to these people lose their temper with a smile on his face, and actually felt sorry for them. It seemed like it was just a meaningless quarrel, but in fact it showed that these people's emotions had reached the edge of extreme collapse and depression. Every little thing can affect them. Whenever there is a dispute, there will be turmoil. Zhang Diwan seems to be a little indulgent, but in fact he is right to do it. It is beneficial to let the people below vent their feelings instead of reprimanding them. After understanding this, you can There is no need to worry about these things.

"Generals, it's not that Mr. Shi is putting on an official show, but that he really can't hold on any longer. He is a scholar and is already fifty years old. It's really difficult for us to brave the cold, wind and snow on this journey. Gentlemen, It is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings about this. If you are unhappy, just come to me, but please do not insult Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi specifically explained that we are here to disturb the brothers of the Zhongyi Army, so we try not to cause any trouble to you. Mr. Shi also ordered that he was very uneasy about disturbing the brothers of the Zhongyi Army. Therefore, he prepared a small gift for the brothers of the Zhongyi Army. The gift was thirty sets of brand new armor, thirty sets of weapons, bows and arrows, and twenty war horses. Horse. Because we have a long journey, we can't carry too many things, and we have to travel later, so we can only give this small gift. I hope all the loyal brothers will accept it." Fang Zian said with a smile.

"Ouch!" Zhang Diwanben had already sat down. Hearing this, he stood up overjoyed and laughed, "You are so polite. How can you be so embarrassed?"

A group of generals also stood up and said happily: "You are so polite, you are so polite. How can you be like this?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's just a drop in the bucket, some small gifts. These are all specially given by Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi will rest and recover tomorrow and will come to meet Commander Zhang and all the loyal generals in person."

Fang Zian specially emphasized that this was a gift from Shi Hao, just to make Xiao Gui and others feel guilty so as not to deepen the misunderstanding. Sure enough, Xiao Gui handed over his hands and said: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Shi is so interesting, but I am just being extreme. Mr. Shi Are you suffering from the cold? I'll ask someone to send some herbs to you later."

Fang Zian laughed and said: "It's not necessary, I'm just tired, I'll be fine if I take a nap."

Everyone nodded repeatedly and called Fang Zian and others to sit down. The atmosphere suddenly became lively. The tense and unpleasant atmosphere before was swept away.

Zhang Diwan glanced at Zhang Ruomei and thought: You have good taste. My brother-in-law has some skills, so he solved the embarrassment by opening his mouth. Obviously this was not what Shi Hao meant, but what he meant. He just adapted to the situation and resolved the misunderstanding and hostility. Emotions are indeed something.

Zhang Ruomei felt Zhang Diwan's gaze, smiled slightly, and was secretly proud.

Everyone sat down, and the banquet started. The banquet was just average. The best thing was just a large plate of unknown game barbecue, plus some wild mushrooms and minced meat soup, and a few stir-fry dishes I didn't know what they were called. Other than that,

In addition, there were some pickled beans, pickled melons, and some dried fruits, etc., which filled up a large table.

This banquet is not worth a few cents in Lin'an City. However, considering the current situation of the Zhongyi Army, being able to put out such a banquet is already full of sincerity.

"Brother-in-law, there is nothing to entertain in this mountainous place. The food and wine are mediocre, so don't mind." Zhang Diwan smiled and raised his glass.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome. This is the first time in so many days that we have hot soup and hot rice. We are already very grateful. Thank you Commander Zhang and all the generals for their hospitality."
