"You three?"
Everyone in the room was stunned after hearing Li Yu's words, looking at the three children with eyes full of disbelief.
"Yes, it's the three of us!" Mo Kai spoke very quickly. When he heard the question, he answered without thinking. "We have already discussed it. Each person will be on duty for an hour. The night will pass soon. There will be no problem. Marshal, General, General Xia and General Wei don't have to worry."
"Xiao Kai, I can call you that, right?" Seeing Mo Kai nod, Shen Cha put down the tea cup in his hand, walked to the three children and squatted down, and said seriously, "We are worried about you. Body, this kind of work is not what you three children should do, right? The night watch list of the dining room must be reported to me every month. In my impression, there are no names of you three. So, Why are you here tonight, and where are the people who were supposed to be on duty?"
"Yes, this is a serious question and you must answer it honestly."
The smile on Shen Haolin's face had disappeared, and his eyes were so bright that the eyes of the three children were a little dazzled. Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian have discussed more than once that once their prince becomes serious and serious, whether he is acting like the coach of Shen Jiajun or taking on the airs of another prince, his calm and self-confident aura will immediately come out. , few people can bear it, including the two of them.
Now, as soon as the majesty of the Shen Jiajun coach came out, Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin immediately put down the plates and dishes in their hands, stood up from the stools, and straightened their backs, as if they were discussing something in the commander's tent. . Even Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin were like this, not to mention the three children who had seen big scenes. They were immediately overwhelmed by Shen Haolin's aura and could not help but shrink into a ball.
The elder Li Yu, who was slightly better than the two younger brothers, barely supported and blocked the two younger brothers behind him.
"Don't blame the marshal for being angry. This is a big matter. Even in an ordinary government office, leaving one's post without permission is a serious crime. What's more, this is a military camp and a military camp at the border." Shen Cha turned around and faced Shen Cha. Haolin pointed to the teacup he had put down before and winked at him, asking him to calm down a little and not scare the children. After taking two sips of the tea fed by Shen Haolin, Shen Cha turned around again, looked at the three children, and said, "If a war breaks out and those few are missing, we have reason to be sure that they have betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. . If they are caught and brought to justice, they will be punished by death. And you who harbored them... will become the traitors' accomplices and be executed together."
"Um..." Xia Jiu coughed lightly, "Marshal, General, I have a few words that I want to say to a few children."
"Your Highness, please!" Shen Cha stood up, walked to sit next to Shen Haolin, raised his head and looked at Xia Jiu, "I wonder what your Highness wants to say?"
"I speak from the bottom of my heart, General, there is no need to worry." Xia Jiu walked up to the three trembling children who stood up from the small stool, sighed and said, "Whether it is as a member of the royal family or as a member of the Shen family army, I have to tell you that what the general said is true, and he is not trying to intimidate you, and it is well-founded." Xia Jiu turned to look at Shen Haolin, "Marshal, do you still remember that of the Xin'an Army? A past event?"
"Remember." Shen Haolin nodded, "The Xin'an Army was originally the elite of the southwest border. Since the day it was built, it has been watching over the southwest border for the imperial court. Once upon a time, our southwest border in Daxia was known as one man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men can't stop it. At that time, the Duan clan had not yet established a country, and the biggest enemy on the southwest border was the Xiqiang. They were old enemies with us in Daxia. What happened next, to this day, we still find it very bizarre, even bizarre to the point of being ridiculous."
"The two soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate didn't know whether they took the wrong medicine or their minds were occupied by something for a while, but they actually left the city gate at the same time. Xiqiang took this opportunity to sneak attack and attack the city, which turned the world upside down. And that night became the biggest nightmare for the southwest border and the Xin'an Army."
"What His Highness said is that until today, nearly a hundred years have passed since this nightmare, and I haven't really woken up from it." Shen Hao Lintian sighed heavily, "Although they fought hard to drive the enemy troops out of the city, the Xin'an Army also failed. They paid an extremely painful price. The commander, thirteen generals and twenty-six lieutenants were all killed in the battle. Only eleven of the forty-eight generals survived. These eleven people were not truly relieved until the day they died. . And the bodies of the two soldiers who left their posts without permission were found in a haystack not far from the city gate."
"Since then, all border areas and armies have re-enacted almost perverted military regulations just to prevent such tragedies from happening." Xia Jiu bent down slightly, stared at the three children and said, "So, you understand Why are the marshal and the general angry?"
"We were wrong!" The three children fell to their knees with a plop and saluted several people. "Please punish me, the prince, the marshal, and the general!"
"Hey, I have no right to make the decision on such a matter. In Xijing, I am a prince, and in Shen Jiajun, I am just a deputy general. I have no right to punish you." Xia Jiu completed the task and put the three of them in a cool manner The child was left to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. He returned to his little stool and sat down. He also pulled his good brother over and sat down. "Let me add one more thing. It's useless for you to hide it. The general has many means to find out what's going on. Therefore, you'd better tell the whole story clearly, which can be regarded as exonerating the merits. . After all, you are going to join the Shen family army in the future, so you can’t bear such a stain on your body!"
"Yes!" As the elder brother, Li Yu still protected his two younger brothers. He kowtowed to everyone and said, "Marshal, General Rong Zhen, the two uncles who are in charge of the night watch today will drink during lunch. After drinking, they still haven't woken up and are still sleeping soundly in their tent. But the dining room cannot be without a night watchman. Originally, several grandfathers wanted to take his place, but the grandfathers are old and simply can't bear it, and It’s not good for their health either. So, the three of us took the initiative to ask for help in order to share the burden for grandpa. The grandpas didn’t agree to it at first, but we couldn’t think of a better way for a long time, so..."
"It seems that you are not on night duty to protect those who have made mistakes, but out of filial piety, which is forgivable. However, are the kitchen helpers in the dining room drunk too much? No one is sober? Do they...do they drink often? ?”
Shen Cha frowned slightly and exchanged a look with Shen Haolin. Both of them realized the seriousness of the problem. Shen Cha winked at Ying Qi, who bowed slightly and quickly left the dining room.
"It's not often, maybe once or twice a month, but I've never drunk too much. Today should be the first time!" Zhang Jing took two steps forward, "Well, marshal and general, in fact, they are drunk There is a reason why it is like this.”
"Get up first, then talk after you get up!" Shen Haolin raised his hand and asked the three children to get up. They were kneeling on the cold stone bricks in the ice and snow. If the children's legs were destroyed, it would be troublesome. "Sit!" He pointed to the small stools for the three children. "Tell me, what's the reason?"
"It's because Lord Jin Miaomiao." Zhang Jing looked at Li Yu and then at Mo Kai, swallowed, and continued, "It's because Lord Jin Miaomiao chose us to go to the Duke's Mansion instead of them."
"Yes, there have always been rumors here that Lord Jin Miaomiao is choosing his apprentice, so they feel that they are very suitable in all aspects." Mo Kai opened his mouth when he saw Zhang Jing, and said everything he knew. "This is what I overheard them say when I went to the convenience store last time. They also said that if you can leave here and enter the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, you will reach the sky in one step. From now on, you can go wherever you go... Well, domineering, yes , that’s what they said!” Seeing everyone looking at him, Mo Kai quickly waved his hands towards everyone, “I was not discovered, I ran away before they saw me.”
"I know!" Shen Cha nodded, sneered, and said, "So, they know that Lord Jin Miaomiao chose you three children, but did not choose people like them who seem to be very experienced and capable. , they felt unwilling to give in. Just as the army came in and prepared a batch of wine for the New Year, they drank to drown their sorrows. "
"Boss!" Ying Qi, who went out to check the situation, came back and nodded towards Shen Cha, "Seven people, many of them, are all asleep! Judging from their appearance, each of them drank at least one jar, a big jar."
"A big altar? No wonder you are so drunk!" Shen Haolin smiled at Shen Cha, "How about it, General, it's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Since you have long had the idea of rectifying military discipline, why not take advantage of it? Taking this opportunity to clean up those guys properly can be a wake-up call to all the soldiers."
"What the marshal said is that the general will obey his orders!" Shen Cha smiled back at Shen Haolin, "Merlin, find three thick blankets to put on the children, and then take them to the marshal's main tent. Also, drop by to call for help. The four master chefs of the Xingshan Room, please go to the main tent and wait."
"Yes, General!" Merlin responded and ran outside to find a blanket.
"General Xia and General Wei, please send your soldiers to inform the generals and deputy generals of each battalion and ask them to come to the main tent."
"Yes!" Xia Jiu and Wei Zixin looked at each other, saluted Shen Haolin, and left in a hurry.
"Xiao Qi, you will inform the military advisor and the Marquis. By the way, go find Xiao Wu and Qi Qi and ask them to lead the people from the training camp to tie up those drunkards."
"Do you want to take it to the main account?"
"Obey my orders!"
"yes!"
When only Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were left in the dining room, Shen Haolin stretched out his arms and embraced Shen Cha.
"Brother, I'm sorry, it was my mistake!"
"Don't let anything happen, just say it's your own mistake. That's not good. I don't like it!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's back gently, "Besides, Cha'er made a great contribution today."
"great merit?"
"If Cha'er hadn't come here to visit today, we wouldn't have discovered this matter at all, and we wouldn't have been able to make a big fuss about it, right?" Shen Haolin kissed his forehead lightly, "This is a credit to us. It's Cha'er's, so don't blame yourself." Shen Haolin let go of Shen Cha, took her hand and walked out, "It's almost time, everyone should be here, General, get ready to show off your power. Yet?"
"Of course, where is the marshal?"
"Everything is ready!"
