Chapter 607: The Way Home
Yuan Fang's straightforwardness and open-mindedness completely conquered everyone present, and after a more fierce struggle, Yuan Fang was finally defeated, and was carried back to the room prepared for him by Qiao Dazhuang like a dead pig by Xia Yi and a few people.
Yuan Fang and Xia Yi left, there was a silence at the wine table, and then, several captains took turns to toast Qiao Dazhuang and a few people, and frankly admitted their previous disdain in their hearts and expressed deep apologies, Qiao Dazhuang and a few of them knew this, they just didn't have a chance to resolve it before, and now they just took this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding and the previous unhappiness, and shorten the distance between each other, Yuan Fang didn't know, just because of his self-deprecation, he actually let those captains follow Qiao Dazhuang with all their hearts from now on, Because Yuan Fang is Qiao Dazhuang's friend, they are the same kind of people, and they all have the same open-minded and refined personality charm.
The charcoal in the charcoal stove crackled, the whole room was warm, lifted the quilt, stretched hard, Yuan Fang looked at the room, scratched his head and recalled what happened yesterday.
Xia Yi heard the sound in the bedroom and pushed the door in, and when she saw Yuan Fang's blank look, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Brother-in-law, you can be regarded as awake." ”
Yuan Fang recalled yesterday's banquet and asked with an embarrassed smile: "I drank too much yesterday?" ”
Ye Qingru then came in with a basin of warm water, and said with a smile: "No, my brother-in-law hasn't drunk like this for a long time, it seems that he must be in a good mood." ”
Yuan Fang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Of course, Da Zhuang and they were born and died with me, and now they are all mixed well, of course I am happy." By the way, what about them? ”
Huo Bingyan came in and handed the coat to Yuan Fang, Lin Menghan leaned against the door frame and said, "No, brother-in-law, you really drank so much that you don't remember anything?" They were gone, early in the morning. ”
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, vaguely remembering that Qiao Dazhuang had mentioned this at the wine table yesterday, but he couldn't remember the specifics, and asked while getting dressed: "Gone?" Why did you just leave? Aren't they the defenders here? ”
Xia Yi replied: "Yesterday Qiao Dazhuang had made it very clear, they were only temporarily transferred here, a few days ago I received an order and was transferred to the area of Dongzhou Wei County to garrison, I was supposed to set off yesterday, but it happened that we arrived by boat and were delayed for a day, no, they left today." ”
Yuan Fang frowned and said, "They're gone, what should I do here?" ”
Lin Menghan blinked his eyes and said: "The troops who changed the guard arrived the day before yesterday, and now they have been stationed in the barracks, they are recruits recruited this time, and the general is Kang Ping of the former Nanzhou Army, do you want to call him over?" ”
Yuan Fang got dressed and walked to the basin and shook his head and said, "Forget it, they are also very busy, let's not make trouble for others, and we will set off back to the imperial capital later." By the way, Dugu's family is alright? ”
Ye Qingru nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, there are no small movements, it's just that Duguzhen's wife is not in good health and can't withstand long-distance travel." ”
Yuan Fang washed his face and said, "In this case, we have to get a few carriages." ”
Huo Bingyan handed the towel to Yuan Fang and said, "Qiao Dazhuang, they have already prepared, and our horses and food are all available, so don't worry about it." ”
Ye Qingru asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you want to eat?" I'll do it for you. ”
Yuan Fang drank just yesterday, his stomach was empty, he looked at the gloomy sky outside and asked, "What time is it now?" ”
Xia Yi sneered and said: "It's almost noon, brother-in-law, you can really sleep, it's okay now, you can't hide the impression of being lazy and greedy and sleeping." ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes: "So what, you little girl, do you think brother-in-law and I am the kind of person who cares about false fame?" Forget it, don't bother, wait for lunch with everyone, and then let's go. Xia Yi grimaced and went out with a basin of water.
Yuan Fang sat on the edge of the bed with a teacup, Lin Menghan comforted him when he saw his soulless appearance and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Qiao Dazhuang and they should not be in danger of going to Dongzhou this time, it is now winter, there has been no movement in the Yuanhe Empire, Qiao Dazhuang They still have a winter to prepare when they arrive in Weixian, besides, we have deployed a lot of troops in Dongzhou, and the Ningyuan Empire has basically stabilized, and it is not easy to invade Dongzhou if there is only one family of the Yuanhe Empire." ”
Yuan Fang looked at Lin Menghan, shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about them, I'm thinking again, the Yuanhe Empire and the Ningyuan Empire have formed an alliance, why didn't they react at all when we attacked the Ningyuan Empire before, could there be any conspiracy?" ”
Yuan Fang had also mentioned this matter before, and everyone had analyzed it at the time, but they still didn't come to a reasonable conclusion, and in the end, Yuan Fang always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't guess it, and his heart was not steady.
Xia Yi poured water and came in, and came with Kang Ping, the general of the defensive army, it stands to reason that as a local defender, Yuan Fang, the general of the Eastern Expedition, should come to see him when he arrived yesterday, Kang Ping, who is introverted and conservative and stubborn, I heard that Qiao Dazhuang and they prepared a banquet and felt that it was against military regulations, and they didn't like to be lively, so they didn't show up, and now, Kang Ping has moved into the military camp, and he really can't hide and have to come over and meet Yuan Fang. Putting aside the worries in his heart, Yuan Fang and Kang Ping had a brief chat and found that this Kang Ping really couldn't beat a fart with a stick, and he was so bored that he couldn't do it.
After lunch, Yuan Fang and his party set off for the imperial capital, Kang Ping just sent them out of the camp and turned back, Yuan Fang, who was riding on the horse, looked back at Kang Ping's back and smiled bitterly.
Xia Yi pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Why does this guy look like wood." ”
Ye Qingru nodded and agreed: "It looks like he has an opinion on us." ”
Huo Bingyan said with a smile: "It's not that I have an opinion on us, but I have an opinion on my brother-in-law, I heard Qiao Dazhuang say that this Kang Ping is rigid, and his personality is even more introverted, and he rarely speaks. ”
Lin Menghan rolled his eyes: "I really don't know how he managed to be in this position." ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about people behind your back, since people can become partial generals, they must have his ability, I think such people have real materials." ”
There are many female dependents in Duguzhen's family, but fortunately, Qiao Dazhuang has prepared more than 20 carriages of all sizes, otherwise Yuan Fang will have a headache. Starting from Yingyue County, along the official road all the way to the north, through Gushui County into Zhongzhou, through Nanping County, Nanping County, Linshui County and finally to the imperial capital, this period of formation took almost half a month.
