Battle of the Red Mansions

On the street outside, Lin Xuan, who walked out with Han Rujin, had a serious expression on his face, "Lieutenant Han, the general is now letting me know what these things mean?"

Although it is not big or small at ordinary times, he also knows that these confidential things cannot be known casually, at least he is not qualified now.

Even if the general has a good relationship with his brother, it can't hide that he is just a new recruit who has been in the barracks for half a year.

After stretching, Han Rujin sneezed, then rubbed his nose and said, "Okay boy, you're pretty smart."

Thinking that it would take a while for the kid to react, Han Rujin tightened his coat and looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.

Looking up at the sky, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, then slowly pointed at herself, "Do I look like a fool?"

After looking Lin Xuan up and down, Han Rujin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded with certainty, "Like!"

"Fuck you!" She punched Han Rujin hard on the back, Lin Xuan showed her small white teeth and looked at him fiercely, "Don't change the subject."

Wrinkling his face and rubbing his chest, Han Rujin grinned and muttered something in a low voice, then slowly straightened his face.

"Xuanzi, you came to join the army because your brother sent you here to protect you. If there is no accident, I will consider taking you back after a year." Looking at Lin Xuan in a blink of an eye, Han Rujin paused, "There Are you sure you want to stay in the barracks?"

Few children from aristocratic families are willing to work hard at the bottom of the army, even the children of military generals, let alone civil servants.

"Lord Captain, do you think brain work is suitable for me?" Lin Xuan glanced at Han Rujin, then shrugged, "This place is very good, I have no intention of leaving."

"I'm serious, Lin Xuan, do you understand what I mean?" Stopping at the corner of the street, Han Rujin looked at Lin Xuan cautiously, hoping to see what he wanted to see.

He wasn't joking, Lin Xuan's talent was astonishing, if it wasn't for the issue of identity, their general would even have wanted to take his apprentice directly to bring him with him, instead of being just a brother of a good friend who took refuge in Hangu Pass.

"I'm not joking either." Looking at Han Rujin fixedly, Lin Xuan fiddled with some cumbersome sleeves twice, "Joining the army was never about avoiding danger, but I discussed it with my brother since I was a child, no matter what happens in the capital Without the changes, I, Lin Xuan, will only be in the military camp for the rest of my life."

Everyone who knew that he joined the army had the same idea. In order to let go of his hands and feet in Yangzhou, his brother deliberately sent him to a place where outsiders could not intervene, but only he himself knew how much effort he had put in to get this opportunity to join the army. .

No matter what kind of world this is, his plan for his future has never changed.

Serve in the army, serve as a soldier, defend your home and country.

Somewhat surprised by Lin Xuan's answer, Han Rujin was stunned for a moment, and then hugged the determined young man in front of him with a bear hug, "If that's the case, then it can't be better."

Feeling that she was about to be strangled, Lin Xuan pushed the person away, quickly took two steps back and looked at Han Rujin with vigilance, "So, Captain, what does the general mean?"

Standing happily on the side, Han Rujin patted his face, and then said a little excitedly, "The general intends to treat you as an apprentice, what do you think?"

To make their general have the luck that no one can ask for, Lin Xuan is really a good seed. If he is let go, not to mention their general, even he will feel it is a pity.

However, Lin Xuan's reaction was different from Han Rujin's imagination.

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and immediately, Lin Xuan pouted regretfully, "The general may be disappointed, my brother may not agree to apprenticeship."

Frowning and looking at Lin Xuan, Han Rujin didn't quite understand, "Why?"

Reluctantly spreading his hands, Lin Xuan raised his eyes and said in a strange tone, "My brother and the general are good friends, if I worship the general as my teacher, wouldn't my seniority be messed up?"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Han Xiaowei thought for a while, "It seems to be too."

So, did the general consider this issue when he was thinking about recruiting disciples? If not, should they remind them?

Han Rujin and Lin Xuan looked at each other, and then resolutely put this question behind them.

"In short, the general is going to let you get in touch with the real secret existences in the army, Xuanzi, which is different from what you have come into contact with before." He leaned into Lin Xuan's ear and said in a low voice, Han Rujin deliberately suppressed his voice, only I want to create a horrible atmosphere, "maybe I will die if I am not careful"

"You are living well, what else should I worry about?"

Smiling and patted the face next to the ear to the side, Lin Xuan looked at Han Rujin with crooked eyebrows, but the words he said would make him half-deadly angry.

Taking a deep breath, as if he didn't hear Lin Xuan's words, Han Rujin clenched his fists and put them down, then turned and walked towards the street, "Let's go, the important things have been said, and the next small things will be said while playing." .”

Unexpectedly, one day he, Han Rujin, would be reduced to the role of raising children. Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs!

In the courtyard next to the brothel, Xie Wan, who came to have a look and passed on the information, had already left to investigate the traitor among them. Only Xie Qiong sat there as if she couldn't feel the cold wind.

He was relegated to Hangu Pass back then, and there were many nails around him, most of them were from Prince Yizhong, he knew all of this.

The emperor is already old, and the capital alone is a little bit powerless, not to mention this Hangu Pass.

Xie Qiong was not a good-tempered person at first, but he also knows what patience is all these years. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he is still the emperor. The existence that can make Prince Yizhong cover the sky with one hand is not something that a small general like him can resist. yes.

When he first came, most of the generals in the entire military camp were instructed to torment him. Although he, Xie Qiong, was not afraid of these things, he was more cautious in his actions.

He managed here for five years before he managed to control [-]% of the troops. If he was given another two years, the entire Hangu Pass would be under his control.

However, this is not possible.

No one will let a military general be unrestrained in a critical test, even if he has no intention of rebelling, he has not yet reassured the superiors to such an extent.

However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Now that Prince Yizhong is powerful, it may not be so in the future.

Prince Gongqian endured it for so many years, not for the sake of letting Yizhong succeed him.

With the heart of righteous loyalty to the prince, will he tolerate other brothers to stay under his nose after ascending to the throne?

For the emperor, he puts the overall situation first, but Prince Yizhong can't do this, but it's just right, that person will stay here for the rest of his life if he really becomes the emperor.

Clenching his fists and looking at the gloomy sky, Xie Qiong curled his lips and got up to go out. It was going to snow, and they couldn't stay in the city for too long.

At the city gate, Lin Xuan and Han Rujin were eating a bowl of hot wontons in full swing. There were already three or four bowls piled up beside the table. The wife next to me quickly squeezed some more.

Half-children eat poor old men, these two young men make people happy just looking at them.

Little did they know that the uncle next to them had already prepared two big bowls full for them, Lin Xuan and Han Rujin buried their heads in eating hard and ignored each other, and when they put down the bowls and were about to shout again, they had already brought them up.

"Thank you uncle."

Looking up with a bright smile, Lin Xuan swiftly snatched the bowl over, and then the provocative Chaohan Rujin raised his eyebrows.

"Cut, childish."

Wiping her mouth, Lin Xuan put down the bowl with a glance, Han Rujin looked at the uncle who brought over the second bowl, thanked him and continued to struggle.

Sitting down next to Lin Xuan with a chill in her body, Xie Qiong looked at the bowls piled up next to her and twitched her eyes. Did he raise two rice buckets?

"A wolf who has been hungry for three days will not be like you. Is it because I didn't give you enough to eat or something?"

"No general, do you want to taste it?" Quickly swallowing the mouthful, Lin Xuan rubbed her belly and moved aside, her eyes full of satisfaction.

The aloof General Xie shook his head expressionlessly, he had already eaten, and now he came here just to take you two idiots back to the barracks.

"General, it tastes good, don't you really want to try it?" Looking at the ruthless General Xie, Han Rujin also started to seduce him, "There is no such a good cook in our camp."

Looking coolly at the two guys who pushed the remaining half of the bowls in front of her, Xie Qiong didn't speak, and let the cold air out of her body desperately.

Smiling and took the bowl back, Lin Xuan and Han Rujin rubbed their arms at the same time, and quickly finished the remaining wontons in the bowl.

General Xie's face was not good, and Lin Xuan didn't dare to ask him to pay at this time. After putting down the bowl, he consciously took out a row of copper plates from his purse and put them on the table.

"Master, the money is on the table, let's go."

Loudly called out to the busy uncle next to him, Lin Xuan rubbed his face and stood up, met Han Rujin's eyes quietly, then stood obediently by the side and waited for Xie Qiong to get up.

The heat from eating just now was completely frozen by Xie Qiong sitting next to him for a while. It's winter, can't this popsicle be more friendly to them?

As soon as I left the wonton stall, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and small ice crystals fell from the sky. The pedestrians on the road wrapped their clothes tightly and moved forward quickly.

The three of them walked all the way to the city gate, and Lin Xuan whistled and called the two horses directly. After Li Feisha sprayed his face with heat, he didn't feel annoyed, and rubbed his thick mane twice before giving up.

The hoof kicked towards the distance twice, and Li Feisha neighed twice, and then stamped out hoof prints one after another on the freshly covered snowflakes under his feet.

His face gradually darkened, Lin Xuan turned to look at Xie Qiong behind him, "General, there is an ambush outside the city."
