When people in the army win a battle, there is a tradition of holding a celebration banquet, not to mention such a big victory, it is natural to have a big banquet.
Although Song You was not a martial artist, he did not refuse.
The conditions in the army are simple, and it is almost a serious banquet.
What is a feast?
The ancients did not use tables and chairs when eating. When holding a banquet, they would spread a layer of coarse woven material in the house to serve as a banquet, and then spread a layer of fine woven material to serve as a mat. Together they form a banquet. However, nowadays, people in Dayan basically use tables, chairs or tables to eat, and naturally they rarely use banquets.
In the army, they don't pay much attention to it and they also prepare banquets.
Choose a larger room, invite the generals who are not on duty, the military advisors under the tent, and the captains who have made meritorious service, serve wine and meat, and have a feast.
Song You and Empress Sanhua were sitting in the upper seats, and people kept coming to toast them respectfully.
"Sir, you are so charming!"
Song You knew that these soldiers had been tortured by demons for a long time. Although they never fell, they were exhausted. Now that he saw that he not only won a great victory, but also got rid of the demons easily, his morale naturally increased, and he felt uneasy for a long time. After being removed, he naturally praised him highly. After Song You heard this, although he was not proud of it, he was not overly modest either. He only said:
"It's also thanks to Empress Sanhua."
"It's natural."
The military general quickly raised his glass to the Sanhua cat next to the Taoist: "I heard that Sanhua Empress was originally the cat goddess of Yizhou, so I would like to thank Sanhua Empress. Finally, I will propose a toast to Sanhua Empress."
"Meow……"
The calico cat lowered his head and licked two mouthfuls of water.
Commander Zhang on the side glanced at Song You, and then at Empress Sanhua. There was a look of thought in his eyes, as if he understood something. He smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Today I am waiting on the city to watch the battle. Empress Sanhua is here." We are fighting against the demon below, and we can clearly see the heroic appearance of Sanhua Empress. She is worthy of being a god, and you must not forget that Sanhua Empress is her."
The calico cat's ears twitched and its sleepiness disappeared instantly.
Seeing Military Master Zhang acting like this, the rest of the people who had not understood it all suddenly realized that Song You valued the Sanhua Empress, so they all came to greet the Sanhua Cat one by one.
Of course compliments are indispensable.
Empress Sanhua’s eyes lit up.
Commander Zhang smiled at this scene and then took the cup and said to everyone: "Generals, you have been in the north for a long time and have been distracted by the people in Saibei. You don't know that Mr. Song and Empress Sanhua had walked through Hezhou before coming here. In the southwest of Yanzhou, in addition to countless demons, the arrogant demon king who was entrenched in Heyuan was also suppressed after Mr. Song and Empress Sanhua passed by."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Song You lowered his head and looked at each other with the calico cat.
As expected, some trouble ensued.
Fortunately, General Chen spoke quickly and stopped the generals' desire to find out. Song You also happened to ask him: "The general is well-informed. How is the demon epidemic in Gui County doing now?"
"Miracle Doctor Cai has done a wonderful job in eradicating the epidemic. I heard that the epidemic in Gui County will be controlled in the beginning of spring this year. By January, there will be no infected people in Gui County." General Chen said with a slight smile, "Before, the demons in the north of Saibei He also brought epidemic diseases from Hezhou and put them into our army, so Zhaoye City fell. Last winter, he used them to treat the city from afar. Fortunately, the magical healing method came in time, otherwise there would be more than ten people in the city. Even if the army of ten thousand is protected by the gods, I'm afraid they will still be in trouble."
A counselor below couldn't help but said:
"Cai the miracle doctor has been through the ages..."
During the banquet, the generals obviously knew more about Guijun and the demon epidemic than they did about Heyuan. They might have drank the medicine from Divine Doctor Cai. Injuries and diseases are common for military people. They were very interested in this, so they all started talking. You and I discussed each other word by word, either talking about the medical ethics of Dr. Cai, or the medical skills of Dr. Cai.
General Chen looked at Song You with a smile and said nothing.
Song You just smiled slightly and didn't say much other than "It will be good if the epidemic is over" and "Miracle Doctor Cai should be remembered forever."
At the end of the banquet, several generals were drunk and were helped out by their soldiers.
Sanhua Empress often looked at them doubtfully.
General Chen was very sober.
After Song You had eaten and drank enough, he stood up and said to General Chen: "It's getting late, so we'll go back and rest. If there are any monsters coming from now on, or if there's anything strange or strange about monsters in the army, the general and military advisor will You can come to us at any time.”
"To be honest, sir, there is indeed something evil happening in the army, and I need your help." Commander Zhang said respectfully, "It's just that you arrived in the city at dusk yesterday, and you are really tired from fighting the demons again today, so that's not an important matter. It’s already dark today, so please have a good rest, sir, and I’ll trouble you again tomorrow.”
"That's fine."
"Meow……"
One person and one cat walked back to their residence.
…
Oil lamps were still burning in the house.
The cat turned into a girl, holding a small flag in her hand, turning it over and over in the light of the oil lamp.
The Taoist was washing next to him.
Suddenly she turned her head and looked at the Taoist.
The Taoist only thought that she was going to ask about the flag, but he didn't expect that when she opened her mouth, her voice was soft and thin, and she asked: "Why do those people become like that after drinking?"
"..."
The Taoist's expression did not change, and he said while washing his face: "Because people will get drunk after drinking alcohol."
"What is drunkenness?"
"It's just like what Sanhua Empress saw. She's confused, dazed, dizzy, sometimes vomiting, and has a headache when she wakes up."
"Then why are they still drinking?"
"Who knows."
"Then why doesn't Miss Sanhua get drunk?"
The Taoist did not answer. Instead, while wiping his face, he asked, "Is Sanhua Empress a human being?"
"right……"
Sanhua Empress was very smart. Although the Taoist did not explain it clearly, she came up with the answer for herself. She shook her head and asked the Taoist with a flag: "How can this thing be used?"
The Taoist wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put them on the wooden frame, and took the flag from her hand.
The triangular flag is gray-black and looks like coarse cloth, but it is extremely tough. Because it is a triangle, it looks like some kind of small flag. When held by adults, it feels small, while when held by children, it feels large.
"call……"
The Taoist blew at the flag and gave it back to Empress Sanhua.
"This is the wolf king's wolf-calling flag. There are still more than two hundred wolves in it. The Sanhua Empress uses her spiritual power as a guide and can manifest it with a wave of the flag. However, the wolves only have aura but no substance. , how many heads can be manifested depends on the conduct of Empress Sanhua."
"Will they bite us?"
"The wolves rely on this flag. Since the flag is in the hands of Empress Sanhua, and Empress Sanhua uses her spiritual power to manifest them, they will naturally listen to Empress Sanhua. But Empress Sanhua may not You need to learn more to be good at communicating with wolves." Song You paused, "If Empress Sanhua doesn't like wolves, you can slowly change her to a cat if you get used to it in the future."
"Wolves are good! Wolves are more ferocious than cats!"
"Follow Empress Sanhua." Song You said with a smile, "But Empress Sanhua is a cat, not a wolf. The aura in this flag was accumulated by the wolf demon for many years. For Empress Sanhua, it is limited. . If injured by ordinary weapons, the aura of the wild wolf will return to the flag after death. If it is injured by some spells that can break evil spirits and remove spirits, one head will be lost and one head will be lost."
Sanhua Empress didn't know whether she understood or not. After thinking for a moment, she just shook her head and waved the flag:
"brush!"
A black smoke fanned out from the flag and turned into three wild wolves when it hit the ground.
"Woo?"
"Meow?"
The previous sound was made by a wolf.
After the wolf landed, he stared at Sanhua Empress, waiting for instructions, but it seemed that the flag had changed its owner, and Sanhua Empress felt strange to it, and seemed a little confused for a moment.
The latter sound was made by a cat.
She has strong magic power and vast supernatural powers. After using a lot of magic power, she actually only manifested three wolves... This was different from the wolf monster she saw during the day, and it was also different from what she thought.
"Why are there only three?"
"Sanhua Empress is not a wolf king, so naturally she is not that skilled in using it. I wish I could use it more often."
"Yes..."
Empress Sanhua is good at accepting advice and listens to everything she says.
Song You was already lying on the bed.
He didn't fall asleep immediately, but leaned on the bed and thought about things with his eyes closed.
The Sanhua Empress in the room seemed to have gotten some new toy, waving the flag around and couldn't stop playing, her voice filled the room.
"Come here!
"sit down!
"Scream!
“Ooooooooooo!
"You are not smart!"
Most of the time the wolf didn't understand what she was saying and just stared at her with doubtful eyes.
Sanhua Empress was very patient and repeated it over and over again.
When you get tired of repeating it, just curse someone.
After a long time, the lights went out.
The flag has been placed in the bag.
The calico cat jumped onto the bed lightly and lay down on the edge of the bed, looking up at the Taoist - the night was a barrier to people, but it was no hindrance to her.
"Taoist priest?"
"Um……"
"Are you asleep?"
"What do you think, Sanhua Empress?"
"Didn't sleep..."
"Miss Sanhua is smart."
"Why do you have so many spells?"
"I told Lady Sanhua that most of the spells I know are just for beginners."
"Why so many?"
"When I was young, I felt that the mountains were boring and the world was boring, so I had no choice but to learn magic and read strange books."
"boring!"
"It's just boring."
"Boring!"
"yes."
"you're good……"
"Not as good as Sanhua Empress."
"Will Empress Sanhua become so powerful in the future?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe~"
"Ms. Sanhua has outstanding talents and is diligent and studious. She will definitely be very powerful in the future."
This time the Taoist's tone was much more affirmative.
In a daze, he remembered those years.
Those were the days of my childhood in the mountains.
The mountains are really boring, very boring most of the time. Half of this boring time was spent by the old Taoist in Guanzhong taking him to run all over the mountains and fields, going to various markets and towns, and slaying demons everywhere, and the other half was spent with all kinds of people. Spend time with ancient books with stories and interesting magic spells.
Unconsciously, I thought of that old Taoist again.
"How long will it take?"
The voice of Sanhua Empress came out in the dark night.
"Don't be impatient, Sanhua Empress."
The Taoist's voice was leisurely: "Time will pass faster than Sanhua Empress imagined."
