At Xu time, it was already dusk, and the sun had already disappeared under the peaks in the west. The sky was dim and everything was hazy. Only a bright moon hung in the sky, and the pale moonlight illuminated everything here.
On the martial arts field opposite the General's Office in Dushikou Fort City, piles of red charcoal fires were lit, and sheep were being roasted on them, all of them turning brown.
A group of people gathered around each pile of charcoal fire. They were all brightly dressed and energetic, chatting and laughing with each other. Occasionally, some stood up and sang loudly for everyone.
There were several fires set up with large logs around the martial arts arena that were lit. The fire illuminated the entire martial arts arena. Even the moon in the sky was illuminated by the firelight. It had a slightly reddish color and was no longer so pale and dazzling.
.
A carriage drove in from the gate of the martial arts arena, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent. The carriage stopped on the east side of the martial arts arena, and Zhang Chengfang trotted beside the car.
I saw him waving his arms and shouting: "Come here, quickly, to pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief!"
A group of boy scouts who were watching the whole lamb being roasted in front of the charcoal fire, chatting and laughing, immediately ran to the carriage, knelt down on the ground in three rows, and shouted in unison: "The boy scouts pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief!"
The curtain of the carriage lifted up, and Zhang Cheng stepped out of the carriage first. He looked at the children kneeling in front of him and asked loudly: "What are you calling me to do?"
"Commander, please see the Commander-in-Chief at the Children's Camp."
Zhang Cheng looked suspicious and said: "Commander-in-Chief? How can you call me such a general? Only Yang Shuai in Xuanzang can be called a commander-in-chief."
Zhang Chengfang knelt down on one knee and worshiped: "Replying to my adoptive father, it was the child who asked me to call my adoptive father as the commander-in-chief. We are all orphans who will live forever. We already have no father and mother. Fortunately, we met our adoptive father.
To survive in this world,
Today, my adoptive father is a military commander and has been ordered by the emperor to supervise the North Road. In Zhang Chengfang's heart, you are the father of the child and the commander of Tongziying. It is precisely because General Yang is the commander that Chengfang ordered Tongziying
The soldiers call you Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief."
Zhang Cheng looked at the thirty-seven soldiers of the Boys' Battalion who were still kneeling on the ground, and felt deeply relieved in his heart. He said loudly: "Well, if you want to do this, I can't stop you. Get up. It's getting colder. Don't kneel down."
long time."
The young men kneeling on the ground stood up one by one. Zhang Cheng found that they had grown much taller and stronger after not seeing each other for a few months. At this time, a delicate voice came from the carriage and called: "General...
…”
Only then did Zhang Cheng remember that the two sisters Liu Ying and Liu Yan were still in the car. He hurriedly told Zhang Chengfang: "My son Chengfang, go to the healthy women's camp and see who is in charge. Call me over and I have something to tell you."
Zhang Chengfang took the order and left. Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Children, go roast the sheep. I'll be back in a minute."
After a while, Zhang Chengfang led a strong woman back. Zhang Cheng saw that she looked like she was thirty years old. He saw her coming to Zhang Cheng, bowing and saying: "The management team of the A team of the healthy women camp."
General Manager Yang Juanxiu comes to see the Commander-in-Chief."
Zhang Cheng was stunned at first, why is he the commander-in-chief again?
Then he looked up and saw Zhang Chengfang standing aside, with his head buried in his chest. He knew that he was causing trouble in the middle, but he didn't say anything more. He just ordered in a deep voice: "On the carriage are the sisters of the Liu family. They are with me."
You are very happy and should take good care of me."
Here, the scholar Yang Juan took the order and saw another group of people from the north entering the martial arts arena. There were actually two small sedans in the crowd. Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "My son Chengfang, I haven't welcomed you two yet."
Grandma goes."
…………
Haishi, also known as Rending, is getting darker at this time, and the streets and markets have become quiet, and people after a busy day should have a rest.
The roasted whole lamb in the martial arts arena was almost eaten. In addition to roasting, there were also several large pots set up on the bonfire, in which lamb chops and lamb soup were also cooked.
At first, due to the presence of Zhang Cheng and the two old ladies, both the children's camp and the healthy women's camp were a little bit reluctant to let go. But gradually, everyone blended into the lively atmosphere and no longer felt restrained.
Zhang Cheng even asked Lin Fangping to get his beloved liquor "Shao Knife" and drank the young men until they grinned. However, when they heard Zhang Cheng said that they could not drink this liquor, they were not worthy of being his sergeants.
Everyone is vying for a drink.
Tonight, the happiest person is Zhang Cheng's cousin Zhang Lifang. Although she has been favored since childhood, Zhang Yan and his wife regard her as the apple of their eyes, but after all, she has been living in a boudoir for a long time. How can she be as happy as tonight.
Liu Yan was also happy. She and Zhang Lifang were close in age. The two of them sang and danced happily while eating roast lamb. A group of women from the fitness camp also danced like her.
After all, Liu Ying is a little older and is an older sister, so she usually thinks more than her younger sister Liu Yan. At this time, she has been staying with the two old ladies, waiting on them obediently, and only giving small looks from time to time.
He took a sneak peek at the situation on Zhang Cheng's side, but he was too far away and couldn't see anything clearly.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the sound of the gong for the watch was heard, but the sound in the martial arts arena was also very noisy, and what was shouted could not be heard clearly. The sound of the gong for the watch could only be vaguely heard.
"It's the second watch, General!"
Lin Fangping reminded Zhang Cheng.
"Go and ask the two old ladies to move back home."
Zhang Cheng looked up at the full moon in the sky and gave instructions to Lin Fangping.
He then stood up with the wine bowl and said loudly: "Children, you must practice martial arts and fight well, and be literate. When you have mastered your skills, you can serve me."
"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely practice well and are willing to serve the Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhang Chengfang also stood up, holding a wine bowl and shouted loudly, and everyone in the Tongzi camp repeated Zhang Chengfang's words in unison.
"Dry!"
After a loud roar, they all drank the spirits in their respective bowls.
…………
After returning to the mansion, Zhang Cheng felt that he was a little superior because of a few more sips of strong wine. He hastily said goodbye to his mother and aunt and returned to his courtyard, with Liu Ying and Liu Yan accompanying him.
Looking at the two delicate beauties, Zhang Cheng felt a surge of hot blood rising from his dantian, instantly filling his whole body. He felt his blood vessels trembling, and an impulsive breath surged through his body like a torrential river.
Liu Yan was a little surprised when she saw Zhang Cheng's face was red, but she didn't know that Zhang Cheng was actually drunk and emotional. She simply thought that Zhang Cheng was a reaction after drinking, so she obediently went to make tea for Zhang Cheng.
.
Zhang Cheng sat on a chair, picked up Liu Ying who was accompanying him by the waist, and said vaguely: "Come, fight this general for 300 rounds tonight, see if I don't torture you to the bone."
If the muscles are sparse and weak, he will no longer be called a general."
Liu Yan happened to make tea and came in from the outer room with a tea cup. Seeing this scene, she blurted out: "The general is bullying my sister again."
Zhang Chengcai stood up with Liu Ying in his arms. When he heard what Liu Yan said, he turned around and smiled evilly: "Wow, scumbag, a little goblin appeared out of nowhere, don't you see if I don't skin you clean..."
