Erhu is a magical instrument.
Two strings can tell the story of the world.
After finishing the melodious song "The Rain Broken Jiangnan", Guan Luping looked at Ren Ning as if he were looking at his own nephew.
"What a great song! It makes me feel like I'm back in my hometown during the rainy season, when catkins are flying all over the sky."
He urged again and again, "Pull it again, pull it again."
Ren Ning laughed heartily, "The general is so free to play the erhu, is Nan Feng temporarily unable to play?"
Guan Luping was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It must be the news sent to you by the Grand Master's Palace."
He did not hide it either: "Several small countries in the south brought tribute gifts and went to Beijing as ministers to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. As soon as His Majesty was happy, he signed a peace agreement with them."
"Are there no objections from the ministers?" Ren Ning asked.
Guan Luping sneered.
"Civil officials don't want to go to war, so they naturally support it. The military generals have objections, but this time the Nanfeng countries are too proud of themselves. Who dares to spoil the fun and mention a war on the Queen Mother's birthday?"
"Only the eldest princess Yiguang said something. She hopes that your majesty will let the small countries in the south pay more compensation. In addition, the troops of other countries must withdraw back to ensure the security of the border. Otherwise, we will fight for this safe distance ourselves."
"If we don't retreat, we will fight for this safe distance ourselves!" Ren Ning patted his palms and said, "She is worthy of being the eldest princess who swept Nanfeng back then. She speaks with confidence."
Guan Luping nodded, deeply convinced.
"What does Your Majesty say to this?" Ren Ning asked.
Princess Yiguang is the biological aunt of Emperor Changxing.
The original Emperor Changxing was just an ordinary prince. In the end, he stood out and sat on the dragon throne, which was inseparable from the support of the eldest princess Yiguang and the Zhenguo government.
Emperor Changxing had to listen to her words no matter what.
Guan Luping shook his head, "Zhennanguan is too far away from the imperial capital. The last news that came back is that His Majesty is still considering it. As for what the consideration is, we don't know for the time being."
"But what is certain is that there shouldn't be any big events on the southern border in the near future."
Ren Ning nodded.
"But..." Guan Luping suddenly looked at him with a serious face, "The training of each battalion cannot be sloppy. Our Xingluo Legion will stay here in the south for three years. Sooner or later there will be a battle to fight. We must do it until we don't fight. , one fight will win.”
"Yes!" Ren Ning stood at attention, "I will keep this in mind."
"Don't be nervous, sit down!" Guan Luping waved, "If you are in the mood, play the song you just played for me again."
Ren Ning chuckled and pulled Yu Sui Jiang Nan again.
Guan Luping was so mesmerized that he couldn't help but put his erhu back and try to play the music.
If he pulled something wrong, Ren Ning pointed it out to his face.
Although the other party is a martial arts champion and his immediate boss, he has a good temper. As long as Ren Ning made mistakes, Guan Luping would make corrections honestly.
The two practiced enthusiastically.
"The general hasn't been back to Su Lan's hometown for some time, right?" Ren Ning asked.
"Yes." Guan Luping said casually: "In the past, the legion was stationed in Yanchuo Fortress. The war in the west was urgent, so I couldn't go back on vacation. It must have been three years."
well!
He sighed, "The youngest son at home is almost two years old. As a father, I have never seen him."
Ren Ning pointed out several mistakes in Guan Luping's work before saying, "Didn't you say that the situation in the south will ease in the near future? If not before the general returns to camp, the general can take leave and go home."
Guan Luping is only the forward general, and the Xingluo Legion has a higher-level general in charge of the entire legion. But Ren Ning hasn't had a chance to see him yet.
Guan Luping couldn't help but feel moved, and said with a smile: "The general is still in the imperial capital to wish the Queen Mother a birthday. Let's wait until he comes back."
Ren Ning nodded.
He looked around and lowered his voice: "General, I heard that the epidemic in Yunzhong County has not only not stopped but is still spreading, right? You see the legion members coming and going..."
Zheng!
Guan Luping suddenly stopped pulling the string, gave Ren Ning a sharp look, as if he remembered something, then nodded slowly and started pulling the string again.
Ren Ning was not afraid of him, and reminded: "We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Should we make some preparations, just in case?"
Guan Luping kept pulling the strings with his hands, but he frowned deeply, "You should be careful. We generals all know this, but it's not easy."
Preventing epidemics and preventing enemies are completely different things. They usually involve lime, mugwort and isolation.
If the action is too big or too strict, the soldiers in the legion will ask why. No matter what you say or don't say at that time, it will inevitably cause panic.
Ren Ning smiled like a fox.
"General, aren't there a lot of mosquitoes around the camp? Everyone can't bear it. Many soldiers even have serious skin diseases, which are itchy and painful."
"We can say that we are eradicating mosquitoes in a unified manner. Otherwise, when spring comes next year, mosquitoes will be even more rampant. Then we will have everyone exterminate them every few days to form a regular pattern. This should not arouse suspicion."
Guan Luping's eyes lit up and he looked at Ren Ning with approval: "You still have an idea. I will discuss it with other generals later and come up with a plan."
The two played the erhu a few more times, and Guan Luping was finally able to play Yu Sui Jiangnan completely into a tune.
Seeing Shang Feng's expression of joy, Ren Ning took out the rubber shoes and raincoat behind him.
"General, this is something I invented recently. It should be of some help to the legion!"
"Oh?" Guan Luping was 100% pleased with Ren Ning.
He was very interested, "You kid has always been smart. Almost all the generals praised the previous telescope. What are these clothes and shoes?"
"General, the prize is appreciated." Ren Ning showed it to him modestly, "This is a raincoat. As the name suggests, it is a rainproof garment. It is waterproof and lighter than a raincoat. Soldiers can wear it to fight."
"These are rubber shoes. They are also waterproof and lightweight. It is difficult for ordinary swords to pierce them, let alone the various stones or thorns on the mountains here."
Guan Luping perked up.
He decisively put down his erhu. "So sharp? Come on, let's try it out."
Guangxin has high temperatures, lots of rain, and humid air.
Many soldiers wore wet clothes and wet shoes all day long, and their feet and backs were rotting and inflamed.
Guan Luping knew this well, but he had no countermeasures and could only hope that the soldiers could adapt to the climate here as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly, it's just a tough job.
But this is obviously not a good idea.
At this time, Guan Luping couldn't help being surprised and happy when he heard that Ren Ning had a solution.
The two of them left the main tent, and Ren Ning asked Shang Feng to put on his raincoat and rubber shoes.
He found a basin of water.
"The general is offended." After saying that, Ren Ning threw the gun at Guan Luping without any courtesy.
Wow!
The guards were stunned. Guan Lu shook his raincoat, and it quickly became dripping and non-sticky. The clothes inside were even dry.
I am Cao!
"Good stuff, really good stuff." Guan Lu Ping couldn't help but look at his clothes with joy, "You are the lucky star of my Starfall Legion. If it is durable, I will definitely give you credit!"
Ren Ning laughed and said, "Guaranteed to be durable."
