I was a young master in ancient times

The white moonlight spilled into the house through the windows.

Ankang lay on the bed thinking about things over and over again.

He suddenly heard Chen Ziche's voice, "What are you thinking?"

Startled, Ankang turned around and saw Chen Ziche tilting his head to look at him, "Why didn't you sleep?"

Chen Ziche lied, "Slept, just woke up." In fact, he hadn't fallen asleep, and had been listening to Ankang's movements. "What are you thinking about?"

"I, I'm homesick."

Under the moonlight, Ankang's blue and purple face was full of sadness, and his watery eyes seemed to shed tears in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ziche suddenly felt a little flustered, and stammered, "Why, why, suddenly, suddenly homesick?" This man has been carefree.When others said that they were homesick, they didn't see this person showing any homesickness.

Ankang sighed softly, "If I hadn't been deceived by others, I should still be a pampered young master now. I have a magazine office, earn my own money, be financially independent, chic and at ease."

"There are my grandmother and parents who love me on the top, and my naughty and cute brother on the bottom."

"But now, for a few barrels of swill, look at me, I've been beaten black and blue."

"Why bother to come, why bother to come. If my grandma sees me now, she will definitely embrace me and call me sweetheart."

Chen Ziche's mind suddenly came up with the phrase, "Why does a man sigh if he doesn't contribute to the country?" Thinking of Ankang who was still sighing while contributing to the country, he burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Ankang argued in a low voice unconvinced, "My grandma really treats me like a baby. My younger brother is safe from me."

Chen Ziche was amused by his words, and his smile deepened. Just as he was about to say that he understood, he suddenly heard a heavy horn sounding outside.

Ankang's face was serious, "What's the matter?"

"Who knows." Chen Ziche jumped out of bed, woke everyone up one by one, and quickly put on his clothes, "Get up quickly, I'll go out and ask first."

Zhao Qin sat up in a daze, closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The horn is blowing outside." Qiu Yuan slapped Zhao Qin on the forehead, "Wake up quickly. I heard people say that if the horn blows in the middle of the night, it is probably an enemy attack."

"Enemy attack?" Upon hearing this, Pang Youde immediately lifted his bedclothes and hid the letters hidden underneath in his bosom.

Huzi saw it, and felt sorry for Pang Youde.Wang Ming sent two letters to Beijiang at the beginning, but he didn't even send an envelope to Pang Youde in the past few months.

Several people tidied up quickly, and saw the guys who were in the house took them out together.Just as he opened the courtyard door, he met Chen Ziche who had just returned.

Qiu Yuan asked, "Zi Che, what's the matter?"

"Mao Zi sneaked in in the middle of the night. General Li has already sent General Song to lead people to fight."

As soon as the words fell, the officer with the whip in his hand threw out a resounding whip, and said loudly, "Come out! Line up and prepare for battle!"

Chen Ziche, Huzi, and Ankang rushed to the east.They belong to the food camp and have to go to the food camp to line up.Ankang was also the battalion commander of the food battalion.

Pang Youde and Qiu Yuan went west along the alley, they had to report to the food camp.

Zhao Qin was left standing alone at the gate of the yard.He is a civil servant and has a disability, so he needs to do backup work at any time.

The officer holding the whip stared at Zhao Qin twice, took two steps along the alley, slammed the whip again, and shouted, "Come out, line up, and prepare for battle."

The figure of the officer disappeared around the corner of the alley, and Zhao Qincai let go of his tightly clenched fists, with a wry smile on his lips.Immediately wiped his face, he told himself to cheer up.

The fear of war plagued the soldiers all night, until it was daylight, and some soldiers informed that the enemy had withdrawn, and everyone's tense nerves were relieved.

Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Ankang supported the wooden gun, slowly moved his numb legs, with a smile on his face, "Brothers, go back."

Huzi patted his buttocks, jumped forward, supported Ankang and whispered, "Master, let's go back and have a rest."

Chen Ziche, Huzi, and Ankang returned to the small courtyard where they lived. Zhao Qin had already boiled water and heated up the food from last night. "Come and sit down, I'll get the chopsticks."

Zhao Qin turned his legs into the kitchen and grabbed the chopsticks and came back. He told Ankang and the others what he had inquired about, "3 Maozi attacked last night. Fortunately, General Li has not let up."

"It is said that the [-] boys who came here were blown up by explosives, and when they nodded their heads, about a thousand of them ran away."

"Hey." Hu Zi took a big bite of the steamed bun, "Fortunately, the mine was buried a mile further along the original line."

At the same time, Xu Changming was sitting in the military tent with a panicked expression, while Ji Ertao was concentrating on his official duties.

Xu Changming panicked for a while, looked at Ji Youtao who seemed to be unaffected by the war, and said, "Mr. Youtao, it's not safe in the barracks now..."

Ji Ertao closed his eyes, thinking, it's bad luck, it was this young master who was not working hard, clamoring to come to the border to make meritorious deeds, so that he could be promoted to a higher position after returning to Beijing.Now because of the war, I feel that the frontier is not safe.

After adjusting his mood and raising his head, Ji Youtao replied calmly, "Don't worry, third son, there are explosives, forgive those thieves and they won't do anything."

"But," Xu Changming said with a sad face, "this time Maozi only came for 30. If it's [-], will we still have enough explosives?"

Ji Ertao choked, wishing that Xu Changming would return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that he could return home as soon as possible.So, he persuaded, "The third son's words are justified. The perennial war at the border is not a safe place."

Xu Changming clapped his palms and echoed, "Exactly!" "I'll write to Sister right now."

"What letter to write?" Cao Cheng opened the curtain and entered the tent. He relaxed his muscles and bones lazily, and picked a small fruit from the plate in front of Xu Changming without restraint.

"Ah Cheng, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Xu Changming looked at his good brother, frowned and said, "I'll write a letter to Sister A, maybe we can return to Beijing at the end of the month."

"Back to Beijing?" Cao Cheng raised an eyebrow and sat down carelessly, "If you want to go back, I won't!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Changming sat down next to Cao Cheng, and persuaded, "Ah Cheng, the border is not safe, it's the best policy for us to go back earlier."

"I won't return, I want to earn military merit." Cao Cheng turned his head to one side and ignored him, "My father said, if I can earn military merit at the border, let me marry the little lady of the Liu family."

The little lady of the Liu family is Cao Cheng's sweetheart.Because of the general situation of the Liu family, Cao Cheng's father did not allow Cao Cheng to marry the young lady of the Liu family as the main wife.

Cao Cheng is also stubborn, and it was for this reason that he made a fuss about coming to the border with Xu Changming to earn military merits.

Xu Changming turned to Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng turned his head, Xu Changming turned to Cao Cheng again.After repeating this three times, Cao Chengcai did not turn his head.

He said in a low voice, "Brother Changming, don't try to persuade me. I've made a decision."

"Alas." Xu Changming stomped his foot and said earnestly, "My good brother, we have to live to enjoy the military merits we earn. It's not worth losing our lives for military merits." It's better to be at home and not learn. A dandy who has no skills and is looked down upon by others.

Cao Cheng still insisted, "Brother Changming, don't talk too much. I've made up my mind, and I'm determined to earn my military merits and marry the lady of the Liu family."

"Mr. Cao." Ji Youtao persuaded, "The so-called green hills are left, so you don't have to worry about no firewood. Why bother..."

"How can a man be greedy for life and afraid of death." Cao Cheng shook his head, awe-inspiring. "What's more, how can there be eggs under the overturned nest? A good man should serve the motherland."

Xu Changming was startled. Is this still the good brother he knew who played tricks on cats and dogs?These two sentences are quite eloquent.

Ji Ertao thought to himself, following an ambitious master can make contributions at the border.But following Xu Changming, that is, with his head on the waist of his trousers, he has to worry about it all the time.Who can think of earning credit.

"Brother Changming. Originally in Beijing, I was always looked down upon by others. I even took my father to eat with me twice."

"The last time we won the battle, we were praised by the Holy Majesty. The letter my parents wrote to me was so thick." Cao Cheng squeezed out a short section with two fingers, his face glowing red, "I grew up so big, my father I've never been praised so much."

"My brain is not as flexible as my elder brother's, and my appearance is not as handsome as my second brother's. I don't have much ink in my stomach. I took this opportunity with great difficulty. I won't go back!"

"Besides, brother Changming, don't talk about me, what was your status in the family before? Think about how Mrs. Xu treats you now?"

"After earning money this time and really needing to go back, will my sister-in-law still dare to yell at you?"

These words hit Xu Changming's sore spot.

He is the youngest son in his family and has been loved by his family since he was a child.His father is Xu Wenyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, his eldest brother holds an important position in the court, his second brother is in business, and his eldest sister is Concubine Xu Gui in the palace.A few appearances set it off, and in addition, he was illiterate, and he hung out with some dandies in Beijing all the year round. After a few years of debauchery, he was often taught a lesson afterwards.

At the age of marriage, Xu Changming has become the object of no one in Beijing.At that time, Yuan Hui, the servant of the Ministry of War, looked at his father's face and reluctantly married his youngest daughter, Yuan Mingling, to Xu's family.

Although Yuan Hui worked under Xu Wenyuan, Yuan Mingling was arrogant.She respected him in front of outsiders, but looked down on him behind closed doors.He was annoyed, what kind of person was Yuan Mingling, who dared to look down on him.

Later, he drank his sorrows with alcohol and became obsessed with fireworks and willow lanes, which really made Yuan Mingling feel ashamed.

This time, I finally asked my sister to ask the Holy Master to let him take the position of general, and I originally wanted to avenge my shame.Let his parents see, let that blind Yuan Mingling see, he, Xu Changming, is not a waste who only knows about lying on women's bellies.

Xu Changming closed his eyes, gritted his back molars, and opened them again, with hesitation in his eyes, but said, "Okay, we will stay and earn military merit."

Ji Ertao sighed in his heart, bad luck, and persuaded, "If the two young masters are determined to stay, it is better to make friends with General Li. The production methods of explosives and mines are in the hands of General Li. "
