Marching day and night is a common occurrence for those in the army, not to mention that Luxian County is not far from Yancheng, Chuzhou.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Yunyan and his party had a hearty meal by the river not far from Yancheng. After Xu Yunyan arranged to make air-dried beef and mutton, they set off again to Zhaojiacun, Wanghai Township.
Beside another small river not far away from them but invisible from both sides, Lu Yueshu and Li Xin looked at the Tang sergeant in front of them who served them some meat-like things cooked in the river water. Very curious.
"Is this what you, Tang Jun, eat? It's so good, isn't it? There's meat in every meal?"
After Li Xin asked this sentence, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Such a life seemed impossible even in their palace. They could not eat meat every day in their palace, let alone these Tang soldiers who were guarding the frontier and sleeping in the open air in the north. .
After Li Xin asked this question, Lu Yueshu looked at the bowl of broth in front of him curiously, which was a bit surprising.
"You didn't kill the horses for us, did you? Otherwise, where did the meat come from?"
However, after Lu Yue finished speaking, she stood up and looked around. The Tang army's cavalry did not lack horses, which made them very strange as to what was going on.
Looking at the two girls who were very interested in their own generals, they asked what was going on. The captain who was arranged by Li Chun to protect their safety was very proud. is talking here.
"The princess and Miss Lu don't know about this, right? It's better for me to explain to you two."
Soon the captain told the two girls how Xu Yunyan defeated the Turks in the north and obtained many cattle, sheep and horses.
This somewhat off-topic explanation did not make the two girls feel dissatisfied. Instead, they were very interested in waiting for the captain to continue explaining how the meat came from.
Soon, the lieutenant mentioned that Xu Yunyan had arranged to dry the beef and mutton in the north, and then put them in the bladders of cattle and sheep for easy storage.
In order to enhance his persuasiveness, the captain also took a package of dried beef in a bladder from his horse and showed it to them.
Lu Yueshu and Li Xin, who had just listened to the story and drank the delicious broth, suddenly felt a little nauseous.
"General, what is this thing filled with beef and mutton you just mentioned? Is it a bladder? Is this really appropriate?"
As soon as Li Xing said this, he suddenly felt a little nauseous and retched, while Lu Yueshu immediately vomited with a loud splash.
The captain was very curious, "What's wrong with you? This thing is even cleaner than what we wash our faces with, and the general also ate these things every day at that time. If you don't like the taste of this thing, then my general will also Aren’t you soaked by this smell inside and out?”
When the captain said this, the truth was a well-intentioned medicine, and the two girls in front of them stopped vomiting in an instant.
Even Lu Yueshu, who was vomiting just now, was here to suppress the nausea in her heart. Instead, she picked up the unfinished broth in front of her and drank it in one gulp, patting her belly.
"Okay, I'm done, this broth is delicious."
After Lu Yueshu did this, Li Xin spared no effort to solve the broth in front of him and looked at Lu Yueshu fiercely.
"It's so delicious. I didn't expect that General Li could make something like this. It really surprised me."
Under the expressions of Lu Yue and Li Xin, the captain was even more proud of himself.
"Look, this is the charm of my general. As long as my general recognizes it, there will definitely not be many problems."
After Lu Yueshu and Li Xin set off again under the escort of the school captain and headed towards Yancheng, Chuzhou, Xu Yunyan and the others had already arrived outside Zhaojiacun.
With their arrival, Zhaojia Village became lively again. Yue'er, who was busy in the courtyard with Xu Yunyan's arrangements for the marriage, saw that the villagers of Zhaojia Village were full of enthusiasm and decorated some large buildings for them. The red lanterns and bright red decorative items made me feel a little hot.
The piracy issue had been resolved, and Xue Li, the governor of Chuzhou, wrote to the court to plead guilty and expressed his merits for them. He wanted to help, but was driven outside by this group of people from Zhaojiacun.
"Mr. Xue, it's better not to help. You are a bride-in-law. It is not appropriate for you to deal with these things by yourself. It will be appropriate for you to come to the princess as a bride-in-law after we have disposed of everything properly."
have to!
Xue Li was quite helpless about this, while Wang Ergou next to him kept smiling.
This is interesting. Xue Li actually married Yue'er. After hearing what the villagers of Zhaojia Village said, Yue'er became very arrogant. Just when she was about to come forward and ridicule Xue Li, she was told by the Zhaojiacun villagers. people stopped him.
"My lord, you are not married yet. It is the time when you are preparing to get married, but it would be unlucky not to see each other again."
And outside this group of people were Xue Li's brother, Xue eldest brother and his sister-in-law, and Xue Li's nephew Huzi was smiling silly there.
"My younger brother is actually going to marry the princess. It's interesting to think about it."
"Yes, it's really good that uncle has such a background."
"What is marriage?"
Although they felt that they were very sorry for their younger brother, they also felt that their Xue family had burned a lot of incense for their younger brother to have such a good wife, and it didn't matter whether he married into his wife or not.
While the people in Zhaojiacun were busy here, the sound of galloping horses suddenly sounded outside the village, which made the enthusiastic people here suddenly startled.
Even those who were working in the salt field returned to the village to work because of this special incident. When they heard such a noise, they couldn't help but wonder if something happened in the salt field? Or have the Tang army sergeants who went out to deliver salt come back?
Just when they thought about hearing this unusual noise and quickly came to the door to take a look, they saw Xu Yunyan rushing back first.
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Yunyan come back, but Xue Li's sharp eyes suddenly saw blood stains on Xu Yunyan's armor, and he quickly stepped forward.
"Senior brother, did something happen to you? Why is there blood on your armor?"
After Xue Li said this, everyone hurriedly looked around.
Indeed, Xu Yunyan's armor was stained with blood, and many of the cavalrymen who came had some dried black marks on their bodies, or the dazzling red color stained on their cloaks, which was shocking.
"What's going on? Could it be that the general and the others went out to fight a battle?"
Just when they were worried, Wang Ergou beside Xue Li suddenly froze.
"No, the general is injured. Look, the general's arm is still bandaged."
Then Wang Ergou hurriedly ran forward.
"Master, is your injury okay? What's wrong?"
Their concerned looks made everyone present stunned. Xu Yunyan was actually injured?
Yue'er was shocked when she heard that her brother was injured from behind, and rushed out of the crowd regardless.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Is it okay?"
But as Yue'er said this, she didn't care whether Xue Li was still here or not, and rushed forward to see where Xu Yunyan was injured.
Just looking at Xu Yunyan still sitting upright on the horse, Yue'er is here looking at other people. "Are you kidding me? Isn't my brother a good person?"
But just after Yu'er finished speaking, Wang Ergou came to him quietly.
"Miss, look at the wound on the general's left arm, and there are a lot of blood stains on the general's armor. Each of these brothers who are guarding the general has more or less traces of blood on their bodies. ."
After Wang Ergou said this, Yue'erzai took a closer look at Xu Yunyan in front of her.
Sure enough, one of Xu Yunyan's arms was bandaged, and Yue'er burst into tears instantly.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Although Yue'er kept scolding Xu Yunyan here and said that Xu Yunyan was wrong, after Xu Yunyan really had an accident, Yue'er was still quite worried and looked at Xu Yunyan here with great heartache.
Xu Yunyan looked at him and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to me, aren't we going out to exterminate pirates? We encountered pirates and fought a battle with them. We had a little less people, and then it became like this, but it doesn't matter." , the pirates were all wiped out by us."
Xu Yunyan said it in such an understatement, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They cheered that there was nothing that Xu Yunyan could not solve. No matter how many pirates there were, they were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of them. After Xu Yunyan said this, Xue Li hurriedly stepped forward.
"It is my great fortune to have such a senior general who serves the country and the people. This pirate was eliminated in an instant, which really puts us to shame."
Xue Li lowered his head to admit his mistake, and his elder brother hurriedly stepped forward.
"General Li, you are back. I didn't expect you to be injured. How about we postpone the wedding for a little while? Your injury needs to be dealt with properly. Don't leave any root causes!"
When Xue Li's eldest brother said this, Xu Yunyan smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay. Now that we've caught up, good things come in pairs. Not only did we eliminate the pirates, we also found a brother of mine here."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Yue'er looked at him curiously.
"What do you mean? Do we still have a family here?"
When Yue'er asked, Xu Yunyan nodded, and then briefly told what happened on Guanglu Mountain. After he was injured, he went to Luxian County, where he met one of their local branches. He is also the only older brother.
】
Hearing this, Yue'er exclaimed, "So our main family is here? Why is there only one family? How pitiful!"
As soon as Yue'er finished speaking, Xu Yunyan was talking here.
"Now that we know there is such a brother, how about we go visit him together?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Yue'er nodded here.
"Okay, but is it really appropriate for you to be injured and exhausted?"
"It's appropriate. What's appropriate or inappropriate? My injury was bandaged by our clan brother. You have to believe him."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he looked at Xue Li, "It's time for you to clean up here. It's been a few days. Let's go to Luzhou and Luxian to pay homage to our ancestors. I'll give it to you when we come back." What do you think about getting married? There should be enough time."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Xue Li nodded here.
"There's time, there's time, everything depends on my senior brother. It's my honor to be able to marry Yue'er."
After Xue Li said this, Yue'er spoke here with a little tiger's mouth.
"Oh, Xiao Lizi, you are going to marry me this time. Don't worry, I will treat you well after you marry me."
Although it was not suitable for the two of them to meet again before they got married, Yue'er's words made the scene laugh out loud in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
