Shen Langgui

Before leaving, Shen Yue told Vice General Zhou a few words before leaving with La Yong.

Layong led Shen Yue to climb to the top of the mountain and had a bird's-eye view from a high place. Shen Yue had to admire Layong's cunning in choosing a site to build a village.Part of Layong lives next to Fuxi Mountain, and Fuxi Mountain is located in the center of the mountains in this area.This means that the enemy must first go over mountains and mountains to attack.Moreover, unlike ordinary mountains, this area is filled with miasma and poisonous insects. Before the enemy invaded, the grass insects tore off a layer of skin.If it weren't for this time to bring the cannon into the mountain, Shen Yue really wouldn't dare to guarantee 100% chance of winning.

Halfway down the mountain, Deputy General Zhou was led by Lamo's pawns to find him.Perhaps it was because of winter that the sun set to the west before unitary time.Layong asked: "It's getting late, if the general doesn't mind, why not try some authentic meals in Xiaozhai."

"Okay."

Layong led people into a fork road, and there was a cave at the end. Layong introduced: "General Shen entered the front door of the cave this morning, and this is the back door. My close relatives live on this side."

Hearing voices, the door on the far side was felt to open, and a naked doll came out: "Father!"

"A lot!" Layong picked up the doll and introduced it to Shen Yue, "This is the son I told you about." Then he asked the child, "Why aren't you wearing pants!"

As soon as the words were finished, another person ran over and put on a fur skirt for Duoduo. It was Ah Qing.Ah Qing explained: "For the first time, I actually wet the bed."

Shen Yue touched the child's head with a smile, and guessed: "I'm three years old this year."

Duoduo blushed and buried her head on Layong's shoulder.Layong said: "The general has sharp eyes. This child is indeed three years old. However, this child is good at everything. The only shortcoming is that he is afraid of strangers."

Shen Yue comforted: "You're still young, don't worry." Saying that, a group of people entered the cave.

The indoor lighting is still a bonfire, and there are wooden sticks on the bonfire, and the sticks are skewered with animal meat. The two people who were busy came forward after hearing the movement. Layong introduced: "This is my brother, and this is my sister-in-law."

Shen Yue and the two of them greeted each other, and when Ah Qing came in, Shen Yue discovered that Ah Qing was actually the petite among the family of four.

After the meal was served, Shen Yue glanced at it, but there was no staple food, except for the barbecue, there were some boiled vegetables.Rich experience as a chef made Shen Yue see at a glance that the only green dish was cooked in a strange way, and it must have been temporarily ordered by La Yong's family members to cook according to the eating habits of the Han people.

Duoduo was ignorant, so he directly grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves and put them in the mouth.

"A lot! Didn't I say that when guests come, you have to use a spoon." Ah Qing immediately taught him a lesson.

Shen Yue hurriedly smoothed things over: "It doesn't matter, do as the Romans do."

Unexpectedly, one wave of unrest would arise again, the child closed his eyes and spit out the vegetable leaves, shouting loudly: "It's so unpalatable!"

Everyone present: "..."

Looking at Vice General Zhou, Shen Yue took the initiative to say: "I have a little cooking skills, if you don't mind, let me do some tricks, so I'm sure you'll have more appetizers!"

The Lamo people are not as polite as the Han people. With the approval of Layong, everyone followed behind Shen Yue to wait and see.

There was only one pot for boiling water in the room, and Shen Yue poured out the boiling water in the pot.Deputy Zhou brought Shen Yue's bamboo hat——During the sightseeing, Shen Yue picked flowers and grass all the way, and unknowingly picked up a bamboo hat full of it.

La Yong suddenly realized: "I said that other generals wear helmets when they go out in battle. Why is General Shen wearing a hat on his back? It turned out to be a basket for vegetables."

Vice General Zhou: "..."

There is a hot spring in the cave, and Vice General Zhou and the others washed the vegetables together.

Shen Yue picked out a variety from the many grass leaves, and introduced to Layong: "This is called kohlrabi in our country." Then he took oil from the barbecue, added salt, put the vegetables in a hot pan and stir-fried, and the room was full of fragrance.

Xiao Duoduo came following the fragrance, but forgot to be afraid of strangers, and lay on Shen Yue's back to look into the pot. When the pot came out, Shen Yue threw a vegetable leaf into the baby's mouth.Duoduo yelled: "It's delicious!"

Shen Yue handed the frying spoon to Vice General Zhou, and teased: "Just now I saw that your eyeballs were about to fall into the pot, so I wanted to show my hand, right? I'm going to fulfill you, this time I will help, tell me, which one to fry?" "

After a moment of inconceivability, Vice General Zhou took the spoon and said to Shen Yue: "Matsutake! The general sliced ​​the matsutake for me!" Man.Put the iron pot on the bonfire, and Deputy General Zhou brushed a layer of oil on the wall of the pot. After the oil was hot, put the matsutake slices. Diced beef, stir-fried quickly.

Shen Yue sighed: "It is worthy of being the 'prefect of famous chefs'. It is really an eye-opener for Matsutake to do so!"

Deputy General Zhou said indifferently: "The more high-end ingredients are, the simpler the cooking method is. The so-called 'simplification from the road' is for this reason."

Sure enough, this plate of dishes came out of the pot, and everyone tasted it, and they all applauded.

After the meal, Layong sent Shen Yue to Qianshan. On the way, Layong sighed many times: "I thought that your officials were all indifferent creatures. Today, the two generals really opened my eyes. General Shen , if it is convenient, can you draw a sketch of the plants you picked today, so that I can teach the tribe to recognize and eat in the future?"

Shen Yue made a fool of himself and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Such a good thing that benefits the people of the tribe, there is no reason not to think about it!" La Yong was a little anxious.

"There is a saying in the Han people, 'it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish'. Instead of drawing a blueprint for you to fumble around, it is better for me to leave Vice General Zhou here to teach you the skills of farming, weaving and cooking in the Central Plains .”

La Yong's eyes widened in fright, and he looked at Vice General Zhou, but he saw that the man was calm and seemed to have known about Shen Yue's decision for a long time. As if in a dream, La Yong asked, "Xiao Wang remembers that General Shen mentioned, 'You are not here to fight a war', could it be..."

Shen Yue slapped him backwards, and jokingly said: "I also remember you said, 'If you kill one of you, Layong, there will be tens of thousands of Layong, who will follow one after another, disturbing our peace'."

La Yong hurriedly defended: "That's a threat from Xiao Wang in a hurry, it's nothing to worry about."

About to reach the entrance of the cave, Shen Yue stopped, put away all jokes, and solemnly said:

"Layong, don't forget, I only fired one cannon at noon today, and moved your front yard to the ground. So, it's not that the imperial court has nothing to do with you, but that the imperial court does not want to drag the saws for a long time, and make the people in southern Yunnan miserable Homeless, people living in dire straits!"

"Layong, to tell you the truth, I didn't meet you this time because you are the overlord of southern Yunnan. I did a lot of homework before I came, knowing that you are more humane and civilized than other chiefs, so I decided to start with you. "

"If you surrender, I would like to ask the imperial court to appoint Zhou Zhou as the governor of southern Yunnan. As long as you are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, Zhou Zhou will do his best to sow civilization here."

"How is it, Rayon?"

The soldiers in the cave only knew Chinese well, so they couldn't understand Shen Yue's long speech. Seeing Shen Yue's domineering tone, all the soldiers thought Shen Yue was provocative, so they drew their bows and drew their swords one after another, ready to fight.

At this time, there were only two Han people in the cave, Shen Yue and Deputy General Zhou.

However, Layong waved his hand back, and the pawns received the order and retreated to the side. Immediately afterwards, Layong faced Shen Yue and knelt down slowly:

"My father once said that the difference between humans and beasts is that humans have 'dignity'. General Shen, we have always been unwilling to surrender. We are born humans and we want to retain our dignity. But the officials sent by the court did not Who doesn't treat us like barbarians, and even force my people to relocate to the flat land by dealing with livestock, just for the convenience of their governance."

"If this is the case, I, the Lamo family, will not accept it to the death."

"But today, General Shen gave me hope. You don't think we are dirty, drink goat's milk with us, let me show you the scenery of Yuntu, and even... cook for my people. I remember The Han people have a saying, "near the vermilion, the red is the red". Vice-General Zhou was brought by General Shen. I believe that Vice-General Zhou, like General Shen, also has an ocean-like heart, and can live and coexist with us under the same white cloud."

"Therefore, I, Layong, take the place of the clansmen and swear to God Fuxi that the Lamo clan is willing to obey General Shen and General Shen Tianwei, and the Lamo people will never rebel from now on!"

After all, Layong kowtowed heavily.

After a while, Shen Yue picked up Layong, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his backhand, and then said: "I firmly believe in Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will live up to the great trust of the Holy One and the expectations of the people. Take a look, Your Majesty, what the court has prepared for you this time. "

When Layong came out of the cave, he saw dozens of horse-drawn carriages lined up at the door, and each one contained various agricultural tools, which were full and dense.

……

Back at the camp, Shen Yue didn't go in immediately, with a look, Vice General Zhou understood, and rode his horse to follow Shen Yue around the camp.

Shen Yue was the first to speak: "Zhou Zhou, don't worry. I will ask relatives and friends in Suzhou to take care of your wife and children. When you are familiar with this place and want to bring your wife and children to live here, I will send someone to escort them over. "

Vice-General Zhou clasped his fists: "I was originally a person to be punished. I relied on the general's recommendation to get rid of the shackles..."

Shen Yue didn't like these polite words the most, so he stopped directly: "That's enough. What you just promised is just a trivial matter to me, so you don't have to feel that you have accepted my affection. Besides, I recommend you because I want you to be a member of the imperial court." Contribute. With your hands, if the peace of this land can really be achieved, then I will have my wish fulfilled."

"The lowly position must live up to the high expectations of General Shen." The topic changed, and Vice-General Zhou sighed again, "In those years in the Qing Dynasty, I only heard the nickname of the general 'Shen Luosha', and he was invincible in every attack. Unexpectedly, today The general only dispatched a piece of horse armor to solve the long-standing worries of the imperial court, which is even more amazing than the legends!"

Shen Yue waved his hand, and said lazily: "Hey, this group of people, if you say it nicely, they are simple-minded; Only by treating both symptoms and root causes.”

When they said that, the two turned their horses and walked back.Shen Yue saw that Zhou Zhou hesitated to speak, so he pointed it out: "You can say whatever you want, you are not a civil servant, why are you so overthinking."

Deputy General Zhou smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I just... just think that General Shen has changed."

"Oh? How have I changed? Tell me."

"General Shen's hostility is gone." Deputy General Zhou looked up at the stars in the sky, lost in memory, "I first met the general, on the day Xuzhou city was broken, and I was arrested as the prefect of Xuzhou. The soldiers were proud when they entered the city. , Some are happy, some are arrogant, but General Shen is the only one who keeps a straight face and doesn't say a word."

Shen Yue couldn't help laughing, because even he himself didn't realize these changes.Thinking back carefully, these changes seem to have started with the retrieval of Ah Li.Wait, Shen Yue was startled suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "How long have we been on the expedition?"

"Today is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. On the return trip, we unloaded the farm tools and drove lightly. We must be able to go to the northern capital a few years ago..."

Shen Yue didn't listen to the rest of the words. He only thought that in the past month or so, Xun He only sent himself a letter from home. asked a question:

"Yan Ru and Yin Zhang will get married soon, will Master Shen agree?"

Yun your sister!When my husband is away on an expedition, he doesn’t ask if he’s full, if he’s sleeping soundly, if he’s dressed warmly, if he’s injured… Shen Yue would be satisfied if he said “I miss you so much”, but this stupid brat… is deceiving. Too much! ! !

Witnessing the transformation of Shen Yue first grinning his lips, then thoughtful, then heartbroken, then gnashing his teeth, and now grabbing the boy who received and unwrapped the letters and asking "Is there any letter from me today?" Vice General Zhou's small eyes changed from Full of reverence, turned into suspicion, then turned into shock, and now looks at his immediate boss with crazy eyes.

"General, you... what's wrong with you?"

As if waking up from a dream, Shen Yue smoothed the young general's wrinkled neckline, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."

When passing a tent, the sounds of men's panting, women's moaning, and body slapping intertwine.Deputy General Zhou asked carefully: "General, I haven't seen you vent your anger for more than a month, do you want to..."

"No need." Shen Yue turned around and patted Zhou Zhou's arm, "You have been in prison for the past few years, and after you got out of prison, you were busy preparing for the battle. You have worked hard. Go in and enjoy it." Zhou Da didn't agree, and went straight to his tent.

After returning to the camp, Shen Yue waved back the serving soldiers and took off his armor by himself.Afterwards, Shen Yue dragged out a bag of packages from the cabinet and untied them. Inside were only two coats that were washed and faded.However, Shen Yue carefully embraced it in his arms as if treating it as a treasure, buried his head in it, and sniffed it for a long time.

Finally tired from standing, Shen Yue took his clothes and sat on the rocking chair, covered his face with these two single clothes, and fell asleep in the familiar atmosphere.

At this moment, Shen Yue dreamed that Xun He used his hands to do things for him, that's all, but Shen Yue had already caused Shen Yue to shoot several times.The sleep became shallower, but the pleasure became clearer, as if there was such a pair of hands walking on my body at this moment.

Shen Yue woke up suddenly, and really felt that someone's hand was touching him. Although his face was covered with clothes, Shen Yue instinctively knocked the person to the ground, and when he jumped up, the clothes fell off. Only then did Shen Yue see clearly that he was naked|naked |The fit boy was staring at himself with big watery and innocent eyes.

Shen Yue lowered his head, and saw that his thing was on the verge of breaking out, extremely high-spirited, and the young man's chest was already sticky, and it was still dripping down at this moment.It seems that the supreme pleasure just now is both a dream and reality.

"What have you done!"

"The child sent by Layong, I stripped it clean and put it in after confirming its safety. The adults are tired after many days, and they have to vent their anger in time, so it's not good to hold it back..." Vice-General Zhou replied sternly outside the tent.

"Damn your sister! I have a family and a wife, what are you arranging for!" Shen Yue growled while wiping himself.

Deputy General Zhou was shocked: "Ah? I heard from the officers and soldiers that you, General Shen, have never continued. How could that be?"

"My wife is a man, it's okay."

"what?"

"roll!"

Shen Yue was about to throw the kid out too, but the boy hurriedly defended himself in Chinese: "I'm useless, I'll use my hands, General, don't be angry."

Facing such a child, what could Shen Yue be angry about? Sighing, Shen Yue said helplessly: "Put on your clothes."

A few furs were thrown outside, and the boy hurried over to pick them up and put them on.

"I've been so tired these days, I fell asleep all of a sudden, so you can take advantage of it."

The young man was being scolded with his head down, squinting at the few single clothes that Shen Yue dropped when he got up, the young man wanted to reach out to pick them up, but Shen Yue stopped him: "I'll do it."

Shen Yue folded the clothes and carefully put them back into the package.The boy asked from behind, "Is that Mrs. Shen's clothes?"

"Yo, the kid is pretty smart." Shen Yue turned around, only to find that the child was somewhat similar to the princess Ah Qing, Shen Yue said casually, "You look quite similar to the princess."

Seeing that Shen Yue was no longer angry, the young man became more agile in speaking: "You looked at the princess a few more times today, the king guessed that you like this kind of appearance, so he sent me here."

"Oh," Shen Yue smiled, "It's not that I like your concubine's looks, but that your concubine reminds me of my wife at home."

The young man tilted his head, blinked and said: "The general always talks about his wife. It seems that the general really likes his wife."

"It's not as simple as liking. It's love, deep love." Shen Yue emphasized.

However, the boy then changed the subject and said to Shen Yue: "I am an orphan, the general can take me back. The general can treat me whatever he wants, as long as I have something to eat, I will keep it a secret for the general and prevent Mrs. Shen from living." Your anger."

Shen Yue was taken aback by saying this.It's not about considering the young man's proposal, but, based on Shen Yue's understanding of Xun He, even if he really brought this young man back in an open and honest manner, and got involved with him blatantly, Xun He should not complain, and even frown. Let Yinzhang tidy up the room for Shen Yue's new lover to live in.

It's true that Xun He is very good to himself, but Shen Yue doesn't want to just stay at 'good', he wants Xun He to be 'love' to himself.Otherwise, the beauty in front of him would not make Shen Yue relax his vigilance.Shen Yue even thought, if he was replaced by Wu Er, would Xun He treat him in the same way?

Ordinary men are most annoyed by their wives being jealous and questioning where they are going, but who knows, this is what Shen Yue has long wanted most from Xun He.Whether it's jealous or mischievous, at least Shen Yue can feel the slightest hint of love in Xun He.

But never.

The only way to seek a ravine is to be respectful.

Shen Yue's heart ached like it was being squeezed.

"General? General?" The young man's call brought Shen Yue back to his thoughts. Shen Yue shook his head, took out a pen and ink to write a line, and attached a piece of silver, and handed it to the young man, "The silver is for you, keep it. Here Give the letter to Layon, after he has read it, he will never let you do this in the future, and will take good care of you."

The young man took the things Shen Yue gave and was about to leave the curtain, the young man turned his head and asked, "General, don't you ask me what my name is?"

"No need." Then, as if afraid of the boy's sadness, he added a word of comfort, "I remember your face, that's all."

The boy just left.
