The carriage slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Police Zhang looked at Yu Wan coldly.
“I advise you not to act rashly. The daughter of General Manor has spoken. If you keep catching it, you will fight it.” Bai Tang appeared in the crowd at some point. As he spoke, he walked towards Police Zhang who bared his fangs and brandished his claws.
Police Zhang pondered his words, and the claws he had just revealed obediently curled back up. “You said it was General Manor's train?”
Bai Tang shook his finger. “This is no ordinary General Manor. The one sitting in the carriage just now was the grandson of the Old General of the North Garrison.”
“The Old General's grandson of the North Garrison, doesn't that mean ..” It's unknown what Police Zhang was thinking, but his entire face turned pale. After that, he did not care anymore about Chun Zhi and directly brought along his brothers and ran away!
“Hai! Brother Zhang! Big brother Zhang, why are you leaving? Aren't you going to catch him?” Chun Zhi stomped her feet furiously, but ever since Police Zhang left, she could only slip her tail between her legs and escape.
Father and son Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
Yu Song was silent. “Garrision it... General Manor has a very strong background. Even an official was scared to death.”
“Not the North Garrison General's Residence has been.” Uncle Yu has been in the Capital before. When he was a chef in the Capital, he had heard some news about the various noble families. He vaguely remembered that since the Manor General of the Northern Garrison was involved in an unsolved case, their entire family had been thrown into prison. How can their reputation be so useful?
Bai Tang exclaimed in shock. “Uncle, you've heard about the events in the Capital! But you're talking about an old incident from three years ago. When General Manor was convicted, everyone was imprisoned and sent to the Northwest to be charged with military service. Only a young woman escapes disaster because she lives in another village to escape the heat. After that, the young lady disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought he was dead, but not long ago, he came back.”
At this point, Bai Tang raised his eyebrows. “She's back with Young Master's son Yan City. Do you know who Young Master Yan City is? He was the only man in all of Zhou Great who dared to go crazy in the throne room and came out unscathed afterwards. She gave birth to her child and now, her status is high because of her son. He even brought the entire General Manor back to power.”
Yu Wan was not interested in gossip among the rich and powerful. A hick like him who wakes up early and works late at night for some copper coins will never interact with the people at the top of the pyramid in his life. Whether it was the General Residence or Young Master Yan, they had nothing to do with him. In Bai Tang's words just now, the only thing that caught his attention was the sentence “ able-bodied men were sent to the Northwest to be charged with military service”. If he remembered correctly, his father was also captured to fight in the northwest.
It's been six years. He wondered how his father was doing.
…
At the border, snow is falling.
After a day of patrolling, several soldiers changed posts. Stepping on the thick snow that had reached their thighs, they returned to their respective tents.
“I'm freezing to death!” As soon as he entered the tent, Wu San began to flick the snow from his armor. Some of the snow had frozen into ice, and he could not remove it. “Yu Old, help me!”
He walked over to a man who was repairing his armor. The man named Old Yu put the tattered armor in his hand and took out a shining dagger from his boots. “Protating.”
“Iya!” Wu San obediently turned around.
Yu Shaoqing started to gouge the ice from his armor. The border is cold. There were no braziers in their tent. If they did not break the ice, they would not be able to remove their armor.
“Yu Tua,” Wu San, whose ice was forcefully opened, said with a smile, “I heard you were going to be a chili. I'm sure you'll make it this time!
Yu Shaoqing did not make a sound. His injured hand, which had occurred after fighting all year round, gripped his dagger tightly as he methodically dismantled the ice.
“Do not doubt me. You've been an officer for three years. It's time for you to get promoted. Didn't you behead the deputy general last time? This is a great military achievement! If it was anyone else, they would be promoted to the Southern Camp. Your background is a little lacking, but I have seen the officers this time. None of them are more experienced than you, and none of them are related to Camp South!”
“Time to eat.” After gouging out the last ice, Yu Shaoqing took out a dry cloth and carefully placed the dagger back into its sheath.
Wu San took off his armor and changed his own cotton clothes. The cotton clothes at Camp North are made of old and damp cotton. They are heavy and not warm, but still better than nothing at home.
Wu San curled his lips as he looked at the food on the table. “You're an officer. Why are you eating the same with us little soldiers?”
In recent days, snow has sealed off the mountains and both sides called for a ceasefire. To save on military food, eat three meals a day to twice a day. Wu San was not yet full, so he kept coming to eat at Yu Shaoqing's place. Actually, Yu Shaoqing's food was not much. It was all saved from him eating less.
Wu San took a steamed bun that was so cold it felt hard. He bit and could feel the bitterness of the sand.
He immediately rolled his eyeballs. “Sial! Southern Camp is eating pork! While I was on patrol just now, I smelled the smell of meat soup! If you were a Southern Camp Officer, you would have eaten and drank well already!
Yu Shaoqing ate a mouthful of tasteless pickled vegetables.
Wu San bit his bread. “Do not worry. When you become a chili, you will be able to eat food from Camp South!”
As he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent.
Wu San put down his bread and ran out. He grabbed a soldier with a hasty expression and said, “What happened? What happened?”
The soldier said excitedly, “Old Deng has become a chili! My brothers will go to congratulate him!”
Wu San frowned. “Old Deng into chili? Why her? Is there an error?”
The soldier said, “True! General Gui De personally promoted it!”
“General Gui De?” Wu San was confused. When did such a person appear in their camp?
The soldier exclaimed, “You just patrolled. You've never heard of it, have you? Old Yan has been appointed as a fifth-grade General Gui De!”
Wu San flinched!
He also knew Old Yan. Like Old Yu, he was also an officer in the Northern Army Camp. He was also one of the candidates who would be promoted to Chiliarch. However, that Yan person was a slave of sinners. His status was even lower than Old Yu. Moreover, Old Yu's military achievements were much better than his. He did not even have any hope of becoming a Chiliarch. How did he jump so many ranks in the blink of an eye and become a fifth-grade General Gui De? And he's lifted?!
The soldier said with envy, “I heard that his daughter will become Young Madam of Yan City. In order for Young Master Yan not to suffer, His Majesty made an exception and promoted his father.”
“You know Old Deng, right? That's Old Yan, no, I should call him General Gui De now. He's General Gui De's confidant. After General Gui De was promoted, he was immediately promoted! Aiya, General Gui De is really capable! If I had known earlier, I would have followed him then .. “
Confidant? Pshaw! Just a follower! Be able? Not as strong as Old Yu! When he thought about how Old Yu's chili was snatched away by a cunning old man who only knew how to flatter, Wu San's lungs would explode!
Wu San gritted his teeth and returned to the tent. He looked at Yu Shaoqing, who was secretly eating pickles and steamed bread as if he had heard nothing. He held back his anger and said, “Yu Old, don't be sad.”
“Ya,” says Yu.
