Chapter 1133: Celebrating with the Soldiers
In the Luoyang City Dragoon Guard camp.
It's been a long time since the soldiers have been so happy as they are today.
King Qin's reward was one of the reasons why the soldiers were overjoyed, and what made the Dragoon Guards even more excited was that King Qin actually came to their military camp in person.
Compared to other military camps, the Dragoon's military camp is much smaller.
In the pocket school yard in the barracks, dozens of bonfires were lit, and around each bonfire, there were more than a dozen dragoon guards.
On the bonfire was a very sturdy wooden frame, on which were worn fat pigs with charred skin and tender flesh.
Around each campfire, two dragoons struggled to spin the wooden poles of the fat pigs, and from time to time they smeared some honey and salt on the surface of the fat pigs.
The smell of roast pig wafted in the barracks, but the eyes of all the dragoon guards did not focus on the roast pig.
Their eyes were all looking in one direction, and sitting there was none other than Liu Wei, who had come to celebrate their achievements in person.
Liu Wei, who came to the dragoon guard camp, put on armor that he hadn't worn for a long time.
The golden armor wrapped around his body, glowing with orange gold under the reflection of the bonfire in front of him, made him even more powerful than usual.
With one elbow resting on his thigh, Liu Wei leaned forward slightly, his eyes wandering over the dragoon guards in the barracks.
Next to Liu Bian, stood Deng Zhan, who was dressed in military uniform and pressed a long sword in his hand.
Deng Zhan's waist is straight, like a statue of a god, standing on Liu Bian's side.
Behind Liu Wei stood Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were also dressed in military uniforms.
The two female generals stood behind Liu Wei, and their waists were also straight, except for the occasional blinking of their eyes, none of their bodies would move.
Looking around at the dragoon guards in the barracks, Liu Wei pulled up an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, you are waiting to kill Guo Jia, but you have made great contributions to Great Qin!" ”
When Liu Wei spoke, all the dragoon guards turned their heads to look at him, and no one said anything, and everyone present was waiting for him to continue.
His eyes wandered over the faces of the dragoon guards, Liu Wei always maintained a faint smile on his face, and then said: "You and others are all my Great Qin warriors, and the Wan Jun will take the head of the general from it, and it is you who are waiting!" ”
After receiving such a high praise from Liu Wei, all the dragoon guards straightened their chests, and their faces showed pride that was difficult to hide.
"General Deng just went to send Guo Jia's head to this king." With a smile on his face always maintained, Liu Wei said to the dragoon guards: "When I saw that human head, I immediately cured a piece of heart disease in the heart of this king. Therefore, when General Deng said that he would celebrate with the soldiers tonight, the king decided to come and have fun with the soldiers! ”
"Your Highness is mighty!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, the dragoon guards cheered in unison.
Standing up, Liu Wei took the wine bottle full of fine wine from a guard on the side, picked it up and shouted to the dragoon guards: "This king respects the soldiers!" ”
Liu Wei toasted them, and the dragoon guards all hurriedly stood up, holding wine bowls full of fine wine, and shouted in unison: "To Your Highness!" ”
When the soldiers all raised their wine bowls, Liu Wei craned his neck and drank all the wine in the wine bottle.
The soldiers on the school field also drank the wine in the bowl one after another.
After pressing his hands twice on the soldiers, Liu Wei said to them: "Soldiers, sit down, this king is here today, you and others should not be restrained, you should eat wine and wine, and eat meat and meat." ”
"Your Highness!" All the dragoon guards bowed down with their fists clenched, thanked Liu, and then sat down one after another.
The dragoon guards sat down, and Wang Zhen, who was standing behind Liu Wei, stepped forward, straightened his waist and shouted: "Soldiers, tell you to wait for a good news!" ”
Hearing Wang Zhen say that there was good news to inform them, the dragoon guards all turned their heads to look at her one by one.
"Our army broke through Xudu, and General Gao Shun invited back to the present Majesty!" Pressing the hilt of the sword, Wang Zhen looked around at the dragoon guards and shouted to them: "You are waiting for the expedition to go out, and you don't know that your majesty has declared on the street that you want to return the throne to His Royal Highness!" ”
After Wang Zhen's shout fell, the barracks instantly fell silent.
Including Deng Zhan, all the dragoon guards looked at Liu Wei in amazement.
The silence didn't last long, but after two or three breaths, the dragoon guards who had come to their senses stood up one after another, raising their arms and shouting "Long live".
The dragoon guards have been following Liu Wei for many years.
All their training subjects were also formulated by Liu Wei in accordance with the training methods of special forces, and their loyalty to Liu Wei was even no less than that of the guards guarding the palace.
Knowing that Liu Xie was willing to return the throne to Liu Wei, the dragoon guards suddenly felt a sense of excitement that the years of battle had finally paid off, and they cheered one by one, but they forgot that Liu Wei was looking at them.
With a smile on his face, Liu Wei didn't speak, just looked at the dragoon guards silently.
Deng Zhan, who was on the side, clenched his fists and bowed down, and whispered to him: "Your Highness, is Your Majesty really saying on the street today that you want to return the throne to Your Highness?" ”
Although Deng Zhan also knew that Liu Xie was just a puppet, no matter who was in his hands, he was just a chess piece on someone else's chessboard.
But the emperor's name is very honorable, and he will take the initiative to say that he wants to return the throne to Liu Wei, which really makes Deng Zhan a little unbelievable.
Turning his head to look at Deng Zhan, Liu Wei did not answer his question directly, but asked him rhetorically: "General Deng doesn't think that this king is coercing His Majesty today?" ”
Stunned by Liu Wei's words, Deng Zhan hurriedly said: "That's not the case! The last general just felt that his majesty might not give up the throne so lightly today. ”
"Out of his heart, he doesn't want to give up!" A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei said to Deng Zhan: "But he is not a stupid person, he also knows that the army belongs to the king, Daqin belongs to the king, and even if he is alive now, it is the king who has the final say!" Why wouldn't he let it? ”
Deng Zhan, who had never heard Liu Wei say anything similar, was stunned for a moment after he said this, clenched his fists and bowed down without saying anything more.
"In this world, whoever has a strong fist is able to be the master of the country!" Liu Wei stood up, faced the dragoon guards, and said to Deng Zhan on the side: "General Deng, you must remember that the dragoon guards and the entire Qin army are the fists of this king, and it is this king who tells the world that there is only one big man in this world, and there is only one emperor's fist in the big Han!" ”
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Deng Zhan said to Liu Wei: "Remember! ”
"Come on! I'm waiting for meat! After Deng Zhan responded, Liu Wei took his wrist and led him to the nearest bonfire.
The more than ten dragoons in front of the bonfire were about to sit down on the ground, but when they saw Liu Wei and Deng Zhan coming over, they hurriedly stood up again and retreated to the side.
"Come, come, come! All sit! When he arrived at the campfire, he beckoned to the more than ten dragoons who had retreated to the side, and said to the dozen or so dragoons: "This king is here today to celebrate his achievements with the soldiers. ”
Liu Wei said this, and more than a dozen dragoon guards who retreated to the side smiled, scratched their heads one by one, and sat in a circle beside him with some embarrassment and some apprehension.
Liu Wei, Deng Zhan, Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and others sat in a circle with more than a dozen dragoons, and the other dragoons all cast envious glances at the more than ten dragoons sitting in front of him.
Being able to sit in front of a bonfire with the King of Qin and eat wine and meat is undoubtedly a more glorious reward than any reward for the Dragoon Guards.
Pulling out the short sword from his waist, Liu Wei cut a small piece of the roasted pig, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, smacked his mouth and said: "Salt and honey are just right, but if there are some chili peppers, it is perfect!" ”
"Chili?" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Deng Zhan and the others all turned their heads and looked at him in amazement, and Deng Zhan opened his mouth and asked, "What is the chili pepper that His Highness said?" ”
"Ugh!" When asked by Deng Zhan, Liu Wei thought that chili pepper was a crop that was transmitted to the Central Plains in later generations, and it did not grow in the late Han Dynasty, and Deng Zhan and others had never heard of this kind of thing.
He grinned and said to Deng Zhan and the others who were stunned: "Chili peppers are just an ingredient, if you put some in the dishes, you can add more flavor." This king has also seen it before, but now he has never seen that kind of ancient monster thing! ”
Liu Wei just said that he had seen it before, which really can't be considered a lie.
Before he came to the late Han Dynasty, chili peppers were just a very common crop.
After listening to Liu Bian's explanation, everyone did not doubt it much, after all, Liu Bian was once the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he was in the palace, although he rarely went out, but there were also many strange things that foreign countries paid tribute to.
Although they had never heard of chili peppers, everyone already had an idea in their hearts, and the thing Liu Wei said must have been eaten by him when he was the emperor in the past.
"Come on, the skin is charred and the meat is tender, and the heat is just right!" Seeing that everyone didn't have too much entanglement in the matter of chili peppers, Liu Wei pointed at the roast pig that he had cut off a small piece of meat with the short sword in his hand, and said to everyone: "I'll wait and eat." ”
"No!" Liu Wei said that he would eat, and everyone responded, but no one dared to pull out the short sword to cut the meat.
King Qin sat beside him, cutting meat with a short sword, in case he provoked a person who intended to assassinate King Qin, wouldn't it be looking for death?
Seeing that everyone didn't pull out the short sword, Liu Wei thought about it for a while, and then understood the reason, and said to them with a smile: "How can you eat roast pig without cutting meat with a short sword?" Could it be that you can't catch it with your hands? ”
As Liu Wei spoke, there was really a dragoon guard who seemed to understand after he died, and he stretched out his hand and wanted to go forward to catch it.
Seeing the soldier stretching out his hand, Liu Wei shouted at him: "What are you doing?" Grab the meat with your hands on the fire, don't you want us to roast your hands like pig's trotters? ”
