Chapter 292

Zhao Bin revealed a look of hesitation.

After a while, he sat upright and said in a low voice: "Jie Shuai, I have been a pawn all my life. The only thing I have been good at all my life is killing people on the battlefield. Even the management of the fort is based on the old border fort. The old routine of driving ducks to the shelves and making do. Whatever Jie Shuai wants me to do, I can naturally do it, I'm afraid I don't have this talent, but I miss Jie Shuai's work."

It seems that the injury and disability had a great impact on Zhao Bin, and he was obviously a little depressed at the moment.

Guo Ning has been in the army for a long time, and he knows that he can only find a way to get rid of this kind of emotion, and there is no way for outsiders to persuade him.So he nodded, "That's okay."

It was just after noon and the sun was very warm.The flow of people on the street slowly increased.Guo Ning and the others gathered inside the tea shop, and there were guards on the outside who were watching. Naturally, no one dared to take care of the tea shop owner's business.On the contrary, in a small restaurant across the street, people gathered in small groups to drink a little wine and eat some snacks.

Inside the restaurant, there are also storytellers stationed.The ethos of storytelling came from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.The storytelling by one storyteller seems to be inferior in terms of splendor to the zaju and theater scripts where several people sing and read together. However, since there is only one person to tell the story, the cost of hiring is very low.

What these storytellers told earlier was nothing more than the ghost gate, the tortoise of smoke powder, the legendary public case, and the episode of Pu Dao. , There are also extra fragments of Dinghai defeating the enemy out of thin air, but the story is inevitably absurd and cannot be demanded.

In the restaurant opposite, Yue Mo has some competition with the owner of the tea shop.

When Guo Ning and Zhao Bin were talking, the owner of the tea shop was taking care of them carefully, and at the same time glanced over from time to time. Seeing the booming business scene, his eyes were almost bursting with jealousy.

Seeing this situation, Guo Ning laughed a few times, stopped staring at Zhao Bin, but asked Chen Ran to come forward and give the boss some extra money.He and Zhao Bin listened to the storytelling on the other side of the street, chatted a little more, recalled the past in and outside the Changzhou boundary trench, and asked about the trivial things about the construction of the Tunbao in Yifeng Town.

Not long after, there was another rumble of hooves on the street.Ni Yi, who was following Guo Ning, ran away for a while, but at this time he hurried back again.

"Did you bring it?" Guo Ning asked.

Ni Yi took out a package from the bag next to the saddle.

Guo Ning took the package and handed it to Zhao Bin with a smile: "Today we are only chatting, don't think too much. This is the most important good thing."

"This is?"

"Didn't I marry a young lady from the Lu family a while ago? At that time, I thought that since we had just gone to war, we should put frugality first and not make big fusses, so I didn't invite the old brothers to get together."

Guo Ning patted the package. Hearing the sound, it should be a wooden box: "This is some dried meat, fruit, and some pastries of various colors. That kid Li Yun got them all from them. Me, want to flatter me, hum."

As he said that, Guo Ning unwrapped the package, opened the wooden box a little, and looked inside by himself.When the box was opened, there was a fragrance, and many people around couldn't help sniffing.

After reading it, I think Ni Yi is very smart in handling things, his wife is also generous enough, and things are not wrongly prepared.

Guo Ning closed the box with satisfaction: "Later, since the wedding was not held, these things were saved. But, just put them at home, how long will my husband and wife eat? I just saw you today , I asked someone to save a box and bring it here quickly. You take it, this is a gift from me and the young lady of the Lu family to the old brother."

Only then did Zhao Bin remember that Guo Jiedu in front of him got married not long ago.Zhao Bin also met that new lady in his early years.He stood up and waved his hands again and again: "Jie Shuai is married, how can I accept the gift? No, it should be me, I..."

He ran his hands up and down his robe, trying to find something that could be used as a gift for Guo Ning, but he was a lonely old soldier with his head tied to his waistband, how could he have anything good on him?For a while, the sweat on his forehead came out.

Guo Ning laughed loudly: "Damn, you are all poor ghosts, don't I know? Take it and treat it as if I invited you to a banquet. I still have business today, so I will leave. I will have to pay you back someday." I'm free, I'll go to Yifeng Town to see you again."

He got up and put the package into Zhao Bin's arms, then walked out.

Now that Guo Ning is a Jiedu envoy, he is no longer the pawn who chatted nonsense together. Zhao Bin did not dare to keep him, so he just hugged the box and bowed to see him off.

When he got up, Guo Ning and his followers had already ridden far away, and the guests who were waiting to drink tea slowly gathered around and looked at him in awe.Someone whispered, this military master is the general of the Dinghai Navy!He is a hero who defeated the Mongols!He is also Guo Jieshuai's friend!Look, what he is holding in his hand is a gift from Guo Jieshuai himself!
Zhao Bin didn't feel this look for a while.He lost his family and wife, and devoted all his heart and soul to the army. In the past, he was regarded as a key officer who was highly valued in the army, and he was also quite trusted and supported by the soldiers.After being injured and disabled, he saw that he was separated from his colleagues, but in fact he was depressed for a long time, wishing he could die on the battlefield.

It may not be that he likes to toss about those trivial things in Yifeng Town all day long, but it's just to relieve his emotions.

Suddenly becoming the center of attention again, Zhao Bin subconsciously stood up straighter, and then retracted his half-handed palm back into his sleeve.

His injury never fully healed.It looks like the wound has healed, but in fact, there will always be severe pain.Sometimes it's the pain of twitching flesh and bones, and sometimes it's like half of my own palm is still there, and then it is slowly roasted by the fire.

Zhao Bin tried to find a medical officer several times, but to no avail.In severe attacks he had to bang his head against the wall until he was so dizzy that the pain seemed to subside.

This is why he subconsciously rejected Guo Ning's proposal.After all, it was different, he was already a half useless person.

But he couldn't help thinking: I don't know what Guo Jieshuai wants me to do, what is it?Maybe I can really help?

"Take it! Come with me!" Zhao Binhu yelled, stuffed the package into Wang Erbai's hand, and strode out.

"Have you gone back?" Wang Erbai asked.He looked around, feeling a little reluctant.

Zhao Bin said: "...not in a hurry."

He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't immediately reject Jie Shuai's questioning just now.Now that Jie Shuai is gone, if I go to the military mansion to inquire about the old brothers, I'm afraid it will be a bit taboo.In this way, what to do next is a bit embarrassing.

As soon as the two of them left the house, they hurriedly rode their horses on the street outside and rode again.

Seeing Zhao Bin and Wang 200, the knight dismounted from his horse and asked, "Is this General Zhao of Changzhou?"

"I am... but I am the captain, not all generals."

"Haha, it's alright. I came here on Madam's order, please wait for Dujiang Zhao...... Uh, I heard Dujiang Zhao is going back to Yifeng Town today, is that right?"

"Yes, but what's the hindrance?"

"Madam said, it's more than a hundred miles away, so it's not suitable for the two of you to go home. She arranged for a car and horse, and they will arrive soon... Madam will also come with the car to meet General Zhao."

"Okay, okay!" Hearing that there were carriages and horses, Wang Erbai nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Bin hesitated for a while, then said to the knight: "I still have something to discuss with Jie Shuai. I don't know, what will Jie Shuai have in these few days? Can I wait at Jie Shuai's mansion?"

Does a team dare to ask about Jieshuai's schedule?The knight was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this was an old acquaintance of Jieshuai, so he said with a smile: "Jieshuai has been in Laizhou for the past few days, but I don't know where he is going. General Zhao wants to wait at Jieshuai's mansion, then Of course it's possible."

When Zhao Bin followed the knights to the Jieshuai Mansion to meet the new wife of the Jiedushi, Guo Ning and his party had already left the city and traveled northward for more than forty miles to the largest port in Laizhou, Sanshan Port in Xiyou Town.

"What's going on? Is this dead?" He asked with a frown.
