The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 65
During wartime in the barracks, drinking is not allowed. On weekdays, it is only allowed to drink when the general is in a banquet. As soon as this statement is made, the tight heartstrings of the people are suddenly relieved, and even a little expectation is born. It is the generals that are clear about right and wrong, and have a degree of relaxation.
Before Lou Jing came, he had asked Yun Jiu to buy a cart of fine wine in Jiuchang City, and two baskets of stewed meat, which were transported to the barracks before dark.
Men, especially those in the barracks, can go from being hostile to being brothers with just one drink.
“The general is young and promising, and the final general admires it.” Zhang Rao took the lead and walked to Lou Jing, holding the wine bowl.
Lou Jing didn’t laugh, raised his wine bowl to touch him, and drank in one gulp.
Seeing that the general was so good at talking, everyone was eager to try, and according to their rank and status, they respected one by one.
“General, General, I, my name is Li Daniu, I am a guy…” The commander of the handyman camp was a bit stuttering. Seeing that everyone respected him, it was not good to go. His face flushed.
Lou Jing patiently listened to him and drank the wine with a smile, “Food and grass are very important in the army. If you do a good job, you can also be a general.”
“Really, really?” Li Daniu looked at the gentle and affectionate smile of General Zhennan, and smiled humbly.
“Of course it’s true, turn around and seal you to be a biscuits general!” Zhang Rao smiled and grabbed the stubborn cow’s neck and pulled him aside, so as not to continue to be ashamed in front of the general.
Naturally, the wine served to the soldiers could not be the sweet and long peach stuffed stuffed wine. It was all spicy liquor. Everyone drank it very enjoyable. And Lou Jing sat on the main seat, and those who came could not refuse a bowl of it. The bowl was dry, and the wine continued to flow out along the corners of the lips, and fell into the placket along the neck, quickly dampening the front of the collar.
Xiao Chengjun shook the wine cup in his hand. He often drank light wine in the palace. Now he tasted this sweet spirit, but he had a cold and indifferent breath. Don’t dare to make mistakes.
“Mr. Yuan, let’s have a drink too!” Zhang Rao, who was drunk, walked slowly in front of Xiao Chengjun and handed him a bowl of wine.
Xiao Chengjun looked at the stoneware bowl in front of him, put down the white jade cup in his hand, and simply took it over, “Please.”
The stoneware bowl was paired with cheap spirits, and the mouth was stuffy, and the strong smell of alcohol burned from the tip of the tongue to the chest and abdomen. In addition to the pungency, there was also an unbearable refreshment. Xiao Chengjun had never drunk wine like this before, and suddenly felt that Drinking like this is really a pleasure.
“Military strategist, good drinker, not the same as the scholars I have seen before.” Zhang Rao was originally a little joke. Unexpectedly, the general’s strategist is not a soft persimmon.
“I can’t count as a scholar either.” Xiao Chengjun smiled slightly and looked up at Lou Jing. Those beautiful eyes became drunk because of the strong alcohol, and he was staring at him for a moment, with tenderness in his eyes.
At the end of the banquet, everyone fell to the middle tent crookedly, and Xiao Chengjun helped the general who was drunk and went into his camp.
With a good deal, the cool night wind blew away a bit of drunkenness, Lou Jing looked up at the new moon in the sky, “April.”
Xiao Chengjun looked up and saw that the crescent moon was like a golden thread, hooking into the deep night sky, “Yes…” It was a month since he left Beijing in a blink of an eye.
“From here to Minzhou, it will take three days,” Lou Jing lay on his husband’s shoulders, and followed him step by step. “Be with me for two more days, and I’ll follow you.”
Xiao Chengjun touched his enthusiastic head, “If you stay here in the future, I can build a palace at the junction.” He did not know it for a few years, but Lou Jing was not far away.
“Okay, I will build a Zhennan General’s Mansion next to the palace.” Lou Jing said with a smile, but his eyelids were too heavy to open.
Xiao Chengjun dragged him away for a while, and looked at no one on his left and right, and simply picked up the drunk General Zhennan. The man did not resist and consciously nested in his arms, leaning against his neck obediently. , I found a comfortable place to sleep. Xiao Chengjun chuckled and kissed him on the cheek.
The nobles in the capital rarely drank Lou Jing, so this was the first time I saw him drunk. Just like a cat with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, it usually rolls around and scratches the corners of people’s clothes, but now it softly retracts its paws and lets him knead it.
In the early morning of the next day, Lou Jing woke up and saw His Royal Highness the King of Min, who was wearing his shirt completely and sleeping peacefully in his arms, suddenly felt…remorseful!
Yesterday, I shouldn’t be a hero. I drank so much alcohol and didn’t even have the strength to pretend to be drunk, so I just fell asleep!
“Hmm…” Lou Jing opened his mouth dissatisfied, biting Xiao Chengjun’s chin one after another.
Xiao Chengjun opened his eyes helplessly and rubbed Lou Jing’s head, “Hungry so early?”
Lou Jing turned over and pressed His Royal Highness under the King of Min. Looking at that handsome face, Junyi’s facial features became deeper in the morning light. He felt his breathing tightened, and beat each other in a place where he would become energetic in the early morning. He said hello, “I’m hungry here!”
“Hmm…” Xiao Chengjun snorted softly, and hurriedly supported him, “Stop making trouble, don’t you want to order soldiers?”
“You didn’t apologize to me sincerely.” Lou Jing said dissatisfied, saying that he had compensated him last night, and it turned out…
“You went to sleep by yourself, what can I do?” Xiao Chengjun chuckled lightly, pulled the guy riding on him off, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lou Jing flattened his mouth, got up and put on his armor, and did not forget to tuck Xiao Chengjun’s quilt before he went out of the account. Only then did he leave the camp full of sadness to train the army he had taken over.
Miss Yang’s family can’t stay in the cottage for a long time, so Lou Jing trained in the morning and learned about the strength of the battalion. So he ordered two thousand infantry and one hundred cavalry. After lunch, he pulled out of the camp and went straight to Jiuchang County. .
“Does the arm hurt?” Xiao Chengjun looked at Lou Jing riding alone, always a little worried.
“It doesn’t matter.” Lou Jing buttoned on the silver helmet, put on a spear and a saber, and turned on his horse neatly.
His saber was buried in the river. Fortunately, the soldier talisman was tied tightly around his neck by him, and it was not washed away by the water. Fortunately, it was not a precious sword. Lou Jing didn’t have any special weapons. it’s the same.
Yang Xing waited outside the Great Wall with the Yamen early. It was not until dusk that he saw the belated army. He couldn’t help but feel anxious. It was about to get dark and he couldn’t fight at night. Wouldn’t it be a horror? The bandits in Jiuqi Mountain escaped at night, but what should they do?
Lou Jing took the paper that Yang Xing handed over, and glanced at it, “Is it credible?” The paper painted on the protective cloth in the cottage, along with the kitchen and the latrine, were roughly marked.
“The previous bandit leader and this second master have both painted it. This is the drawing of both of the Xiaguan Zongqi.” Yang Xing hesitated, and took out two original drawings for Lou Jing.
Lou Jing looked at it, and the anti-cloth has changed, but the location of the kitchen, latrine, and granary has not changed. “Enough is enough, thank you Master Yang.”
“General, it’s getting late, I’m going to attack the mountain?” The infantry school lieutenant Wang looked at the rugged Jiuqi Mountain with melancholy, watching the red sun sink in the sky and walking at night, not to mention the fortifications of the cottage, but The narrow mountain road must be turned in without cavalry.
Lou Jing slightly curled her lips and glanced at You Yunwei who was aside.
Yun Er has repainted the map of the Shanzhai with a strange painting method. At first glance, it looks like a ghost symbol that is illegible, but after giving it to Yun San and Yun eleven who were assassinated by the specialist, the two looked at it. He nodded slightly and raised his foot slightly into the dense forest.
“Enclose the mountain, camp, and start!” Lou Jing raised his hand and gave a very simple order.
Wang Zhi and Zhang Rao looked at each other, and a group of teenagers couldn’t figure it out, but they didn’t have to attack the mountain at night. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly surrounded the mountain according to Lou Jing’s order.
Jiuqi Mountain is a group of mountains that stretches for dozens of miles, but the mountain where the cottage is located is a lonely mountain, with cliffs everywhere, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are only two roads up and down the mountain. Lou Jing ordered five hundred people to guard an intersection, while the rest were stationed under the gentle **** to the south, sealing the entire downhill road to death.
Everyone set up camp and cooked food without hesitation. This can anxiously destroy the gangsters in the cottage.
“Report-the master, it’s not good, the officers and soldiers have come to attack the mountain!”
“What!” The bandit leader of Jiuqi Mountain was startled and shouted, “Fourth, hurry up, take someone to guard the entrance to the mountain pass!”
An hour later.
“Report-the master, those officers and soldiers have camped down the mountain!” Xunshan hurried back to the cottage.
“Is this going to trap us?” The bandit leader didn’t know, so he asked people to inquire again.
Another hour.
“Bao-the master, they started cooking.” Xunshan ran back to the cottage breathlessly.
The bandits are completely confused, are they defending or fleeing? In the end, the bandit leader gritted his teeth. These officers and soldiers must think that it is not easy to go up the mountain at night. The grain in their cottage is enough to eat for a few months. This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Slowly pack up your delicate belongings and find a good way to get out.
At night, there was silence in the barracks, except for the sound of patrolling footsteps.
“Huh? General Wei, what do you think it is?” The patrolling soldier exclaimed and said to Wang Zhi who was on duty.
When Wang Zhi looked up, he saw the place close to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the fire blazed into the sky, and the chaotic shouts from the cottage reached here, and he immediately raised his leg and walked towards Lou Jing’s camp.
“Report to the general, a fire broke out in the cottage.” Wang Zhi stood outside the account and replied.
Lou Jing lifted his head from the neck of his husband, and yawned, “Order to go down and guard a few downhill passes. No one is allowed to let it go.”
