Chapter 439: Hospitality
In the next period of time, there were several pits with water seepage, Yuan Fang picked up the map he had just drawn and marked it, and after roughly analyzing the direction of the underground river, he placed the target on both sides of the underground river, and the five hundred Praetorian Guards were all busy, digging big pits everywhere near the small study.
Dinner was ready, more than a dozen cooks came over on tricycles, nine of which were filled with beef stew and some cooked vegetables in large wooden barrels, and the other cars were loaded with hundreds of sets of clean cutlery.
Yuan Fang clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone stop, come up and eat something and rest for a while, and then we will continue." ”
Although the young men of the Praetorian Guard are full of energy, but they are also flesh and blood, and they will also be hungry, and they are a little unbearable for such heavy physical work, and many of them have long been hungry, and when they heard that the meal was open, a group of mud monkeys climbed out of the pit one after another, and lined up to receive dinner after taking turns to clean it briefly under the command of the officer.
There is no dining table, and these guys are not very particular people, sitting on the floor, chatting while eating, drinking in small sips, eating meat, and their faces are full of heartfelt smiles.
The composition of the Praetorian Guard is not mixed, basically they are the relatives and nephews of some distant relatives of the royal family, and they have a little distant or close relationship with the imperial family, outside, in the eyes of ordinary people, their status may be very noble, but in the Praetorian Guard they are just ordinary soldiers.
Due to the different responsibilities, the Praetorian Guards usually stand guard or something, rarely have this kind of task, this time, although the work is not very good, but there are so many beauties around, they are very happy, plus there has not been such a vivid vent of vigorous energy and physical strength for a long time, in addition to psychological factors, the body is also comfortable, especially a few sips of wine, that feeling is very comfortable, and Yuan Fang is also generous enough, except for the wine no one ration two, the meal is enough, Although the food in the barracks is usually good, and they can eat meat every day, but it is only a little, like today, there is enough beef, and they have all become super foodies, the weight of 700 people, they were stunned to eat it all, and then there were a few guys who were not full, and the cooks ordered several pots of noodles to fill their stomachs.
Lin Hu ate a small piece of beef with some restraint, and said to Yuan Fang with some embarrassment: "Let Lord Yuan laugh." ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, isn't this normal." As he spoke, he turned his head to Sang Rou and the girls at the table next to him and asked, "Do you have enough food, but there are still a lot of them here." ”
Sang Rou stood up and looked at it, her eyes lit up, she ran over and pointed to a plate of fried melon slices and asked, "Do you still eat this?" Don't eat I'll take it. ”
Yuan Fang handed Sang Rou the two plates of vegetables that hadn't moved much: "Take them all, just these beef are enough for the two of us." ”
Sang Rou happily took the dishes and left, and Yuan Fang said to Lin Hu, who was full of envy: "Come, eat meat and drink." ”
Lin Hu drank a small glass of wine, glanced at Sang Rou and their female soldiers, and said with emotion: "Your relationship is really good, I have been leading soldiers for some years, I can see that they are also sincere to you, I dare to say so, if you are really in danger, none of them will leave you alone." ”
Yuan Fang glanced back at Sang Rou and them, and said with a smile: "They, there is no difference between them and my own sister, you don't have to envy me, I am usually bullied by them, in fact, your subordinates are also quite good, I can see when I gathered just now, they are all well-trained elites, I am a layman to lead soldiers or something, I can't see anything specific, but I can feel that their combat effectiveness should be no worse than those elites in a hundred battles." ”
When Lin Hu heard Yuan Fang's comment, he immediately felt that he had a lot of face, and although he was proud in his heart, he said modestly: "How can those of us who have never been on the battlefield compare with those elites in a hundred battles, we have too little experience in facing the enemy, and we still need to hone it." To be honest, I admire these female soldiers, they are all real warriors who have experienced the war, don't look at them all soft and weak, but I know that if we fight against the same number of people, our chances of winning will not exceed three layers. ”
Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Are you too modest?" ”
Lin Hu shook his head solemnly and said, "What I said is the truth. ”
Yuan Fang glanced at Lin Hu and said: "Most of them are elites who have survived several wars, they understand the cruelty of war and the importance of cooperation, before in Dongzhou, we were trapped in Niujiao Mountain, before the breakout, we had more than 7,000 people, but after the breakout, there were only about 2,000 left, of which there were only about 1,000 female soldiers." ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Fang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of Xia Liang, Ma Lan and others who died in the war, drank a large glass of wine, smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk about that, come, eat vegetables, and drink." As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped away the tears of his research as he poured himself wine.
When Lin Hu saw this scene, his understanding of Yuan Fang went further, he also knew some things about Yuan Fang, and he knew why those female soldiers were called brothers-in-law, and he also knew that Yuan Fang's wife was killed in that breakout battle, and he also heard that Yuan Fang swore in front of Xia Liang's grave that he would take good care of these female soldiers.
At this time, there was a loud noise, and several guys in errand clothes came under the leadership of a female soldier, among whom was a young man in a robe, and several people were stopped by Chang Xun's cavalry guards, and the female soldier was talking to him.
Seeing this, Yuan Fang stood up and said loudly, "Hey, let them come over." ”
When the cavalry saw that Yuan Fang had spoken, he immediately let him go, and the female soldiers came over with a few errands, and before she could speak, Sang Rou preemptively asked: "Xiao Ling, is he that bastard?" ”
The female soldier named Xiaoling nodded and said, "It's him, I went to find Yining Dutou just now, and Yining Dutou also had a headache about this matter." ”
Jieyue turned around, glared at the guy with a somewhat obscene face viciously, and asked curiously, "Xiaoling, how did you catch him?" "Last time, Yuyue and Sang Rou went shopping together, Sang Rou was touched on the buttocks, and the two of them were stunned and didn't find anyone, so Yuyue was very curious about how Xiaoling caught this bastard.
