Not long after Kong Youlian left, the dinner party suddenly became excited. It turned out that the head of Huating County was late.
Shi Chunquin had never doubted how beautiful the County Lord Huating was, but until today, she realized that her understanding of beauty in the past was still too simple. Today the County Lord was not wearing any fancy clothes, only a red short shirt with a gilt top.
She was wearing armor, no hairpins on her head, and her black hair was rolled up high. She walked firmly and calmly among the generals of the three armies. Her plain makeup did not swallow up her grace, but instead showed the cold arrogance of the royal princess, the kind of innate nobility.
It makes people want to worship involuntarily.
"See the County Lord!"
All the soldiers in the field knelt down devoutly and worshiped their commander.
Chu Ling and Shi Chunquin also stood up and knelt down. Although they were in a surrendering posture, their bodies were filled with the warm blood of Yourong. This was the instinct coming from relatives.
The Lord of Huating County passed by everyone without squinting, walked to the general platform and sat down, glanced at everyone, and said leisurely, "Pingshen."
Everyone stood up one after another and stared at the woman on the stage. She had no brocade clothes or jewels, but in the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Huating, she was worthy of being said to be peerless in splendor. Without this woman, there would be no today's hundreds of thousands of Huating soldiers.
She is their god!
Kong Youlian and Jiang Ya stood at the bottom of the general stage, their eyes feverishly chasing the woman on the stage. Every general’s daughter would have a dream about the coach in her heart. The head of Huating County was undoubtedly the object of their greatest admiration.
They adore her so much that they are willing to be her son's aunt.
What's more, with Chu Ling's heavenly appearance, being an aunt would not be considered an injustice to them.
Their family background can barely be called well-to-do in Huating, but compared with the Chu family, it is simply a world of difference.
After Huating County Lord sat down, the bonfire dinner officially began. The dishes in the army were not as exquisite as the restaurants, but they were better than the wine, songs, starry sky, and bonfires. This was a magnificence that a restaurant could not match, even if it was the equinox, the wine was too strong.
, in this atmosphere, I also feel excited.
Chu Ling kept paying attention to her. Seeing that she had finished her third glass of wine, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "The wine in the army is strong, so don't drink too much."
Shi Chunfen raised her eyes and looked at him. I don't know if it was because she was already a little drunk. Her eyes were brighter than usual, like spring water rippling in the blue waves. One glance could make people fall in love, "Okay." She said
He nodded lightly and was as gentle and obedient as usual, but Chu Ling felt inexplicably that something was wrong.
He didn't have time to think about it, when suddenly there was thunderous applause and the military dance began!
Kong Youlian was the lead dancer this time, and came with the soldiers of the Qingqi Battalion holding various weapons. Some of them used knives, some used swords, and some used halberds. They each formed a formation and walked singing. The movements were not very beautiful, but because
It is neat and uniform, so it is very shocking.
Chu Ling actually danced military dance. When he was a child, he studied in Huating. Whenever there was a major festival, his subordinates would send him to the military camp to revel with the soldiers. Military dance is one of the necessary performances.
It’s not because it’s so fun to dance, but it’s particularly relaxing when dance appears in the usually solemn military camp. All the soldiers, led by the lead dancer, laugh and dance to their heart’s content. They forget about the war, winning and losing, and their usual training.
Being depressed is a pleasant thing in itself.
Chu Ling was sitting in the audience, holding a wine glass in his hand and watching their performance quietly. The fact that the usually careless man could focus on them was an encouragement to them.
Not only him, but also the head of Huating County and Chu Xiu took it very seriously.
Although they have watched this military dance more than a hundred times, they will be as serious about it every time as if they were watching it for the first time. This is the respect that generals have for their soldiers. They respect every intention of these soldiers, because no one can guarantee it.
, will this be the last stage for these soldiers? Rather than cherishing their performance, it is better to cherish the time when they are still alive. Every life that dares to sacrifice is touching.
As the lead dancer, Kong Youlian stood at the front of the team. She could clearly feel the eyes of everyone in the audience being cast on her. These eyes made her feel proud and enthusiastic, and even the blood in her body became hot.
After the dance, the whole place fell silent, and the lead dancer picked up the wine glass and prepared to offer wine.
This is also one of the traditions in the military. It is usually dedicated to the commander or the soldiers who have made military achievements to show the respect of the soldiers.
But Kong Youlian took the wine glass and walked towards Chu Ling step by step. Her eyes were firm and the corners of her mouth were springy. Every step she took seemed to be stepping on the man's heart, attracting side glances from the surrounding soldiers.
Her father is a Qingqi General, and this is her territory. There are many of her usual admirers sitting around. They probably guessed what she was about to do. Those people stood up and started to boo, and the atmosphere of the dinner reached a climax in an instant -
tide.
The head of Huating County sat in the upper seat and watched Kong Youlian's actions with great interest. She knew that this little girl had always been bold, but she didn't expect that she would be so bold. She dared to offer wine to Chu Ling in front of everyone. There was no way out.
She planned to stay, although it was a bit reckless, but she admired it unusually. The children in the army should be like this, talented, bold, free and easy. Anyway, they must not be like Shi Chunquin, who would be scared to tears if the louder the voice was.
, not even on the table.
Thinking of the Spring Equinox, she glanced at the other party subconsciously and saw that Kong Youlian was getting closer and closer to Chu Ling. The other party still lowered his head and looked at the wine glass, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
The head of Huating County curled his lips, feeling that this temperament was really unpleasant, and he didn't know why Chu Ling was so blind that he fell in love with her.
Chu Ling watched with cold eyes as Kong Youlian approached him step by step. Her eyes were fiery and her figure was enchanting. Although her appearance was not as good as Sangpi's, she was as bright as her name. The most rare thing was that she knew exactly what she wanted.
She is also very smart and knows how to choose the right time. In this situation, if Chu Ling rejects her, it will be tantamount to dishonoring the entire Qingqi camp.
After all, for a scholar like Chu Ling, having multiple women around him was just more mouths in the family, and there was almost nothing to embarrass him about.
But Kong Youlian is different. If she is rejected in public, her reputation in this life will be ruined.
The entire Qingqi camp will blame Chu Ling for being unkind. Girls are already coming to his door. What else can he be reluctant to do?
Chu Ling frowned, his usually stern face covered with a layer of frost. No one had dared to embarrass him like this for a long time. This woman is really brave!
Chu Xiu sat in the distance, looking at everything in front of him with gentle eyes, and a faint mockery on the corners of his lips.
