Chapter 696: Envy
Yuqing and Lei Hua were forcibly pushed into the carriage and sat opposite Yang Xing and Xiaomei, Yuan Fang sat between the two, looked left and right, raised his hand to put his arm around the shoulders of the two and said with a smile: "You guys are finally back, how is it?" Did the road go well? ”
Being hugged by Yuan Fang's shoulders, Yuqing's resolute face flushed with a hint of red, and her face was shy, but she didn't dodge, at this moment, the coldness of her body was swept away, as if a flame was burning to warm her soul and body.
Yuqing enjoyed this intimacy very much, although she knew Yuan Fang's original intention, she was still very happy, and she was already very satisfied to be so close to him.
Lei Hua nodded heavily while stretching out his hand to bake the fire and said, "Well, it's going well, Dongzhou is full of our people, who dares to come to our territory to trouble us." Yuan Fang thought about it, and his words were a bit redundant.
Yuqing took off her gloves and poked her hands, looked at Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei seems to have lost a lot." After speaking, he glanced at Yang Xing, no outsiders were present, and Yuqing returned to her former straightforwardness.
Xiaomei said with a smile: "Sister Yuqing, I'm losing weight and keeping in shape." ”
Yuqing smiled: "You still need to lose weight with this small body?" It's true that Lei Hua should lose weight. ”
Lei Hua said angrily: "I'm not fat, I'm all muscles, not fat." ”
Yang Xing patted Lei Hua's strong chest and said with a smile: "That's right, it's all muscles." ”
Yuan Fang took out a few cigars and distributed them to everyone, glared at Xiaomei, who was about to speak, and lit a piece of red charcoal for Yang Xing first, then Lei Hua and himself, and finally looked at Yuqing while spitting out thick smoke and said, "Come, light it and taste it." ”
Yuqing had never seen a cigar, but she was not stupid, she had seen Yuan Fang and the soldiers snatching cigarette pouches and pots to smoke before, this taste was the same, she guessed what this ancient weird thing was, and couldn't help frowning and said: "I don't smoke it, you also smoke less, it's too choking." ”
Yang Xing opened the window on one side of the car to let the smoke circulate, and the little eunuch who followed the carriage was startled when he saw the smoke billowing in the car, and hurriedly ran forward to check, and saw that Yang Xing inside was holding a cigar with a smile, pointing and hurriedly retreating.
Da Mei closed the window and said dissatisfiedly, "They're smoking that cigar again." ”
Wan Chunya snorted and complained: "Brother-in-law, they are really, Xiaomei is still in the car." ”
Yan Yue covered her nose and said, "This smell is so unpleasant, you can smell it from so far away." ”
Guan Xiaoyun rode a horse, asked about the faint smell of tobacco wafting in front of him, took a big breath, and said with a look of enjoyment: "This taste is really exciting." Then, he came to the side of the carriage and knocked on the window, grinning and saying, "Sister Chunya, give me a good time." ”
Wan Chunya glanced at Guan Xiaoyun, opened the box at his feet, grabbed a large handful of cigars and handed them to Guan Xiaoyun and said, "Smoke it, hurry up and finish it, there will be no more after smoking." ”
Guan Xiaoyun took the cigar so happily that his mouth was almost closed, and he carefully put the excess into his arms, leaving one to hang in his mouth, after thinking about it, he still didn't light it, he didn't dare to go too far on this kind of formal occasion, don't look at Yuan Fang, they can smoke cigars unscrupulously, who are those people? It's not like a little clerk of his.
Seeing Guan Xiaoyun's hesitant appearance, Sang Rou couldn't help but encourage and said, "Xiaoyun, if you like it, you can smoke it." ”
Guan Xiaoyun said proudly: "You treat me as stupid, I'll keep it and smoke it again, yes, I'll go to your room to smoke it when you are on duty at night." ”
Yuzuki said angrily, "You dare. ”
Guan Xiaoyun looked up at the sky, and said with an invincible look: "What don't you dare." ”
Yu Jingqiu saw that the two sides were going to quarrel again, so she frowned and stopped: "A few of you all stop, this is not at home, so many people are watching." Yu Jingqiu was full of prestige among the crowd, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Sang Rou, Yuyue and Guan Xiaoyun suddenly lost their voices.
It is said to be ten miles away, but in fact, it is ten miles away from the emperor, and it didn't take long for the team to arrive at the gate of the imperial capital. At the city gate, Lei Hua led his 5,000 cavalry on both sides, and after seeing the female soldiers who traveled all the way into the city, he only brought the accompanying guards to follow him, and the rest of the large troops went to the military camp outside the city to repair.
Unlike Lei Hua, Yuqing and the female soldiers under his command will be stationed in the imperial city to enrich the guard force of the imperial city, and also accept the review and praise of the people on behalf of all the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade.
Prior propaganda and the impetus of the empire, the people once again gathered on both sides of the street, welcome the bloody soldiers triumphant, the last time Yuan Fang returned, there were only a few hundred female soldiers, it seemed a little thin, this time, Yuqing returned with five thousand female soldiers, the momentum is completely different, especially the armor of some female soldiers still has a variety of shocking scars, at a glance, it is not difficult to imagine the cruelty of the battle and the bravery of the soldiers, there are no flowers this season, there are just the enthusiasm and praise of the people, Do not hesitate to give these women who do not let the eyebrows of the heroines, these, more colorful than any flowers, can warm the hearts of the soldiers.
Yuan Fang sat in Yang Xing's carriage, looked at the enthusiastic people on the side of the road and said sourly: "This time it seems that there are more people than last time." ”
Xiaomei chuckled: "Brother, are you envious?" ”
Yuan Fang nodded: "As a soldier, this is the greatest honor, and it would be a lie to say that I don't envy it." ”
Yang Xing teased: "Then why did you refuse to let you be with Yuqing and them just now?" ”
Yuan Fang shrugged: "I don't want to steal their limelight, they deserve it." ”
There was nothing to say all the way, in praise and applause, the group returned to the imperial city, Yuqing arranged the female soldiers to the barracks for repair, and then went to the Xuanzheng Hall with Lei Hua to resume their lives.
After a brief walk, Yang Xing gave the highest evaluation of the Eastern Crusade in public, and all the ministers echoed it, and then, and then dispersed.
Yuan Fang, who walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, looked dazed, scratched his head and said to Yuqing beside him: "That's it?" ”
Yuqing was puzzled and asked, "Otherwise?" ”
Yuan Fang was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that there was a reward?" This kid can't be trying to repay the debt, right? Lei Hua was just a junior officer before, and he had never entered the palace, so he naturally didn't know about these, and looked at Yuqing with the same doubts.
Yuqing smiled and said: "Today is a return to life, and the reward will only be done after the military department verifies the statistics, brother-in-law, you are too anxious." ”
Yuan Fang said depressedly: "What else do you say? I knew that I wouldn't come, I got up early in the morning, I didn't catch any benefits, and I was cold enough, this is not my own guilt. ”
A little eunuch came over, saluted respectfully and said, "Lord Yuan, two generals, Your Majesty has summoned you in the left study. ”
Yuan Fang's eyes lit up, and the big-tailed wolf waved to the little eunuch and said, "Lead the way ahead." Yuqing rolled her eyes wildly, and glanced at Yuan Fang with disdain, when did this thing learn to put on music.
