Treasures · Wrong appointment

In fact, it was just a misunderstanding at first.

"That's right. In the future, General Li will be the commander of the Shuofang Army. The change is sudden, but for the sake of the battle situation, everyone knows what to do."

He listened to the herald's words, thought for a moment, and answered, "No matter who, as long as you lead us to repel the Spike Army and regain the lost ground, we will do as you are told, and we will say nothing."

The herald nodded, and told him some trivial things, then he left and went to the next barracks.

He lowered his head, analyzing the recent situation of the Shuofang Army, just as he was thinking, he was interrupted by a call not far away.The voice seemed to be calling his name, but it sounded quite unfamiliar.At least in the barracks where they live all year round, there are very few such clear voices, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.He almost thought that he heard it wrong, so the person called out again, and he confirmed that the person who came was indeed calling himself.

"Shao Guang!"

Shao Guang looked back in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man running towards him.This young man has delicate features, is wearing a brocade long gown, a neat ponytail, a light sword around his waist, and an epee at the back of his waist. He should be a disciple of Hidden Sword Villa.It's strange that apart from the two weapons of Hidden Sword Villa, this man also carried a long soldier wrapped in cloth on his back.

His younger brother Shao Hong was walking behind this master Tibetan sword. Shao Guang remembered hearing Shao Hong say that he had a mission to pick up a blacksmith back to the Shuofang army barracks to help. Maybe he was referring to this master sword hider. .

But how could this young man who had never met him know himself?

Shao Guang didn't know what happened before and after. When he was still in a daze, the young man had already run straight to him. He raised his head after taking a few breaths, and said with a smile, "Finally found you!" The joy in the middle formed a great contrast with Shao Guang's stiff expression.

"Looking for me?" Shao Guang asked in confusion, "Excuse me, sir...?"

"I'm Fang Nian! Ye Fang Nian! The one in Yangzhou ten years ago!"

There was no hesitation in the other party's words, but Shao Guang recognized the voice and appearance for a long time, but still felt very strange.The other party said that Yangzhou was ten years ago, and he looked back according to his memory, and he couldn't remember that he had ever known someone named Ye Fangnian.

Shao Guang looked at his younger brother Shao Hong who was standing next to him, trying to get some information from Shao Hong, but Shao Hong just blinked, "Hey, brother, you don't know him? Young Master Ye told me on the way that he has been looking for you for a long time. .”

"Looked for me for a long time?" Shao Guang was even more confused, "I'm afraid you have found the wrong person, young master?"

Ye Fangnian frowned when she heard Shao Guang say this, her eyes revealed a look of doubt, "That's right, my surname is Shao Mingguang, I was born in Tiance Mansion, and I have a similar face. I can't make a mistake."

Shao Guang felt a little bit troubled when he heard it, "But... I don't know you, Young Master."

Ye Fangnian pursed her lips and stared at Shao Guang. After a while, she finally said, "Could it be that the war broke your brain?"

"It's quite possible." Shao Hong echoed.

"Ah Hong, don't mess around." Shao Guang cut a knife at the person, and seeing that Shao Hong was no longer joking, he asked Ye Fangnian further, "Since the young master said that he came to find me, can you tell me why?" matter? I really don’t remember anything about the young master..."

"Ah, it seems that you really don't remember me!" Ye Fangnian sighed a few times in frustration, and when she spoke again, her voice was a bit unwilling, as if she was afraid that the other party would not believe it, "I'm here for an appointment When we were in Yangzhou ten years ago, didn’t we make an appointment that when I succeed in forging, I’ll give it to you?”

Ye Fangnian's tone sounded sincere, and it didn't seem like she was making up a lie to tell him.But Shao Guang had no impression of the "agreement" that Ye Fangnian mentioned.Ye Fangnian's eyes were a little anxious, while Shao Guang was at a loss, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

When he was hesitating whether he should refuse, the sentry suddenly blew the bugle.

"Brother, you called us to assemble." Shao Hong said.

The thick voice immediately woke up everyone in the barracks, it was a military order to assemble.Shao Guang and Shao Hong looked serious, and it seems that now is not the time to reminisce about the past, so Shao Guang cupped his fists to apologize to Ye Fangnian, "There is an order in the army, I have to go ahead, and the matter of finding someone to attend the appointment will be later." Let's chat. Farewell." After finishing the words, he and Shao Hong turned around and strode towards the other direction.

Ye Fangnian who was left here had no choice but to smile.Seeing Shao Guang leave, he unloaded the guns he had brought behind him, hugged him in his arms and stared blankly for a while, then walked towards the metallurgical furnace.

Li Guangbi was ordered to lead five hundred soldiers to Luoyang overnight to take over Shuofang's army.It is precisely because of this that the superior ordered the whole army to assemble.The new commander-in-chief reorganized the army, and it was dark after that. After all the sentries and patrols were in place, the rest of the people were disbanded and returned to the camp to stand by.

When Shao Guang and Shao Hong returned to their camp, they suddenly saw the golden figure beside the campfire, and then remembered that there was still Ye Fangnian's problem.

"Let me introduce you to Brother, Ye Fangnian from Hidden Sword Villa, who came to our Shuofang Army to support him, he is good at repairing and casting weapons." Shao Hong patted Shao Guang on the shoulder, "I thought you knew your brother Seeing your reaction, it seems that you are not."

"I really don't know him, and I don't know how he knows me..." Shao Guang looked at Ye Fangnian's direction and shook his head.

Ye Fangnian sat there resting quietly by herself, her gaze fell on the distant night sky.The bonfire illuminated his side face, and now there was a small stain on his innocent face.A few strands of hair were also soaked in sweat and looked a little messy.When a gust of night wind blew by, Ye Fangnian faced the wind, stretched out her hand to loosen her braids, and combed her long hair with her fingers.In the middle of combing, he suddenly noticed Shao Guang and Shao Hong who just came back, so the light in his eyes immediately swept away his tiredness, and he stood up and waved hello to them with a smile.

Seeing Ye Fangnian's appearance, Shao Hong gloated and stabbed Shao Guang with his elbow, "Brother, admit it, I'm here to find you."

"But I really don't remember having such an agreement with anyone ten years ago. It must be that he found the wrong person." I have tried my best to search for the memory fragments, and I have searched repeatedly but I can't remember a person named Ye Fangnian .Shao Guang could only think that Ye Fangnian had misidentified him with someone, but he could only believe it himself.

Standing in the same place and thinking about it, he felt that it would be impossible to keep misidentifying, so Shao Guang walked over to Ye Fangnian, wanting to explain clearly to others.

But before he could take a few steps closer, another Tibetan sword disciple ran out from not far away. That Tibetan sword disciple stopped Ye Fangnian and said something to him. Ye Fangnian looked towards Shao Guang after listening. Looking around, he waved to him again, probably meaning to leave, and then followed another disciple who hid the sword and walked towards the metallurgical furnace.Shao Guang just missed the opportunity to explain.

It's just such a mistake, Shao Guang didn't expect that he couldn't explain it to Ye Fangnian for several days.

At any rate, it was a time of war and chaos, the Spike Army was confronting them across the city of Luoyang, and the South City and the West City would exchange fire every now and then.The two sides fought frequently, and the demand for weapons and ammunition became tighter.Mr. Shao Guang was fighting outside, and Ye Fangnian, who was helping to take care of the forge, was naturally not idle.

Every time when Ye Fangnian passed by or bumped into each other, Shao Guang didn't know how to respond to the smiling face that Ye Fangnian threw at Shao Guang. It blew.

Or when he came back from the battlefield and found Ye Fangnian with great difficulty, he just said, "Young master Ye, I have something to say..." But he could only speak halfway, and the man from the metallurgical furnace rushed over and said, "I have something to say..." A batch of long soldiers sent to repair, I have to work, Brother Fang Nian."

As if it was deliberately arranged, Shao Guang always missed the opportunity to explain.

A few days in a row, to half a month in a row.In the second half of the month, the Spike Army's attack suddenly became fierce, and Shao Guang naturally left this vague matter behind.

Counting from the day Ye Fangnian came to Shuofang Army, it was already a month later when Shao Guang was finally able to find time to explain this matter to Ye Fangnian.Li Guangbi, commander of the Shuofang army, set up an empty city plan for Langya, led them to withdraw from Luoyang, and stationed in Heyang City instead. It was already August.

Shao Guang was wiping his gun in the camp, and when he reached the point of the gun, his fingertips were stunned for a moment, and his eyes followed it. It turned out that his gun was old, and the point was already stained with rust.Shao Guang thought about it, this guy has been following him since he was assigned to the Shuofang Army, and now he should be sent to be polished, just as he just moved to Heyang, and there is no one who wants to fight the enemy yet. trace.

"Ah Hong." Shao Guang called Shao Hong, "I remember your gun is broken too. Let's fix it together."

Shao Hong raised his head and answered "Oh", then suddenly remembered Ye Fangnian who was in charge of weapons, and reminded Shao Guangdao, "By the way, brother, you just happen to be free now, do you want to talk to Master Fangnian about what happened before? "

"Well, that's what I plan to do too."

After moving to Heyang, the metallurgical furnace has just been properly arranged, and the fire has not been lit for a long time, and Ye Fangnian just sat down to breathe and drink water, when a familiar face appeared in the field of vision.

Ye Fangnian put the water bag aside, stood up and greeted him, with the same joyful expression as when he first arrived, "Shao Guang!" Shouting, also made Shao Hong, who was almost ignored beside him, only sigh.

"It's rare to see you here, what's the matter?" Ye Fangnian asked.

"Ah Hong and I's weapon was damaged, so I sent it for repair. I'm sorry." In Shao Guang's words, there seemed to be a sense of alienation in respect, unlike Ye Fangnian's enthusiasm.

"Don't bother me! I should do it!" Ye Fangnian was just about to take the two shots, but she suddenly paused, only took Shao Hong's shots, and then smiled at Shao Guang, "Before I was too busy and forgot to give it to you. I recast it for you. It just so happens that your gun should be replaced. I'll bring it here for you—"

Ye Fangnian turned around to walk into the forging room as she said that, but before she could move, Shao Guang hurriedly stopped him.

"Young Master Ye, please wait a moment. I came to you this time to explain this matter to you." Shao Guang said solemnly.

"Explain? What's the matter?" Ye Fangnian turned her head and blinked her eyes to express her doubts.

Shao Guang then said to Ye Fangnian, "I don't remember the ten-year agreement Mr. Ye said earlier. I guess Mr. Ye found the wrong person. I am not the 'Shao Guang' Mr. Ye is looking for, so I can't accept this gift that should belong to others."

Ye Fangnian was stunned.

The eyebrows frowned a little, probably because he was troubled by Shao Guang's attitude.Shao Hong saw that his brother was so sure that Ye Fangnian didn't know how to explain it, so he made troubles and asked Ye Fangnian, "By the way, you said you knew my brother ten years ago, how about you?" Tell me about what happened at that time in detail? Maybe it was my brother who forgot.”

He looked at Shao Hong with innocent eyes, and then looked up at Shao Guang. Although he was a little uneasy, he still listened to Shao Hong and told all the past, "Ten years ago, I came to Yangzhou with Senior Brother Shanzhuang. , ran away for fun and got lost, and was caught and blackmailed by two hooligans, Shao Guang, you saved me—”

Shao Guang listened to Ye Fangnian's narration as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures.Ten years ago, I was indeed on duty in Yangzhou City, but I really can't remember this incident at all. Ten years ago, the law and order in Yangzhou City was considered good, and there were not many hooligans, let alone rescued from the hooligans. A young man with a hidden sword makes people's minds blank and has no basis.

Seeing that Shao Guang didn't seem to believe it, Ye Fangnian continued to look straight at Shao Guang, "You waited for my senior brother with me at the gate of the city, and I said I would repay you with money, but you said you don't need money. I just said I like casting You promised me that you would take the gun I made and make contributions to the country..."

Shao Guang still shook his head, "Sorry, I have no impression of what the young master said."

Being denied by Shao Guang several times, Ye Fangnian was so wronged that she almost wanted to cry.Shao Hong felt that something was wrong, Ye Fangnian didn't seem to be lying, and his brother Shao Guang didn't seem to be lying either.Shao Hong just felt that it was a pity that he didn't go with Shao Guang when he was in Yangzhou, so he didn't know what happened to his brother during this period.

However, Shao Guang's letters did not mention Ye Fangnian's incident.Could it be that Ye Fangnian happened to meet someone with the same name and surname, so she misidentified him?

Shao Hong asked Ye Fangnian again, "Master Fangnian, do you know anything else about the 'Shao Guang' you are looking for?"

Ye Fangnian nodded and said to Shao Hong, "My surname is Shao and my name is Guang. I am from Luoyang. There is a brother in my family who entered Tiance Mansion when he was young. He was appointed to Yangzhou to perform duties when he was 16 years old."

These are really good things to say.Shao Guang also agreed with Ye Fangnian's description, but he still didn't dare to confirm it, so he had to ask again, "Are there any other details besides this?"

Ye Fangnian thought for a while in silence, her eyes flickered, and she tapped her palm, "Yes, have you ever received a Tao Xun back then? It was tied with a golden tassel!"

Hearing the sound, Shao Hong followed Ye Fangnian's gaze and looked at Shao Guang.This time, I finally saw an expression on Shao Guang's face that was different from doubt and annoyance.Shao Guang froze in place, his eyes widened, the degree of disbelief in his eyes could already be described as shock.

Just because he did receive it, a Tao Xun.

When he was on duty in Yangzhou, the courier sent him this Xun.The Xun was sent from Hangzhou, and it was tied with a piece of golden tassel, on which the word "leaf" was engraved with not-so-fluent strokes.Because he received the items inexplicably, he asked the courier who sent them, but the other party said that it was raining, and many items and letters could not be distinguished.The messenger also traveled around Yangzhou for a long time before finding Shao Guang, the recipient of this xun.

That xun he stayed in Tiance Mansion, in his own storage box, and rarely took it out.Later, the bandits rebelled, Luoyang fell, and the flames of war spread, and there was probably nowhere to find Xun.

The detail that Ye Fangnian said began to match her memory.So is he really the person Ye Fangnian is looking for?Shao Guang couldn't believe his own judgment.

If so, how could he have forgotten Ye Fangnian and such a solemn agreement?
