wedge

Song Run, dressed in a general's uniform, sat on a carved wooden chair and looked at her intently.

"It's beautiful. It looks like a fairy coming out of a picture book. He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xi Xiaoxiao slightly lowered her head to avoid his hot gaze, she was a little shy, this shyness made her face even redder, her face seemed to be rouge, in Song Run's eyes was a shy and timid little girl, which made his heart move.

Chapter One She Crossed

Daxi Dynasty, Chen'an Six Years, Imperial City, General's Mansion.

Xi Xiaoxiao woke up to a chirping sound.

"Hey, Sakura, this is my new sister-in-law?" She's so pretty! Only a crisp female voice came from above her head. She heard another girl's voice, "Yes, Miss. ”

"It's just a pity that my brother is in the northwest barracks, otherwise, seeing such a beautiful bride, I will definitely like it." The girl said. "Of course, Miss La, the new lady was personally married by the emperor, and I heard that she is the first beauty of Yanyang City." The little girl who called the young lady replied.

"I heard Brother Mu'an say that this was the marriage of the local abbot of Jiu'an Temple. Duke Mo went to Jiu'an Temple on the orders of the emperor to ask the abbot to help his brother calculate the marriage, and the master Bu Gua said that the brother's marriage was in Yanyang City, and his surname was Li. So the emperor sent someone to Yanyang to investigate, and the person in charge of the investigation reported that the second daughter of the Li family, a rich family in Yanyang, was eighteen years old, beautiful as a flower, and unmarried. The emperor immediately decreed that the marriage should be given, and let the Li family send their daughter to the general's palace on the same day, no, the new sister-in-law will come to our house today. Only because my brother was in the northwest, the wedding was spared. The girl said.

There was someone in front of him, but Xi Xiaoxiao did not open his eyes. She only heard the little girl ask, "But Miss, the people who send relatives to the Li family are also too strange, put down the dowry of the lady, just helped the person to the bed and lay down, and ran away with a cigarette." ”

"Don't you know this, it must be that the new sister-in-law does not want to marry, after all, the brother is rumored to be a wife, and the daughters of each family are not willing to marry over, ahem, it is superstition." I see which new sister-in-law must have been sent over by fainting, otherwise it would not have been possible to sleep for so long. The girl said in a low voice.

"Well, the young lady is right, madame has been three or four hours since she entered the door in the morning, and she is still sleeping, if I hadn't gone to probe my nose, I thought Madame was out of breath." The little girl said.

"Oh, you can't curse my new sister-in-law, or my brother will really sit on his wife." Girly Road.

"Sakura, you are here to look at your new sister-in-law, she woke up and told me, I left first, to find Brother Mu'an." The girl commanded, and then a sound of footsteps sounded, and it was time to go outside. "All right, Miss. I was waiting outside the door. Sakura replied, and then followed suit, closing the door by the way.

The sound of conversation ended. Xi Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and carefully looked around. She was sleeping on a large wooden bed. Covered with a big red quilt, the quilt is a large mandarin duck playing in the water. She had a big soft pillow on her head, the pillowcase was also big red, and next to the pillow was another pillow, without a trace of folds, and it looked like no one had slept. The top of the head and the bed are surrounded by a light pink mosquito net embroidered with delicate vines and flowers.

Listening to the conversation between the two just now, she is now the second lady of the Li family in Yanyang City, and she has just married into the General's Mansion? Xi Xiaoxiao was still confused. She wouldn't have fallen into a coma after the car accident and was currently wandering out of the sky, right?

Xi Xiaoxiao graduated from university, majoring in foreign trade, originally interned in the foreign trade department of her own company, her father died of sudden cerebral hemorrhage, as an only daughter, she had to inherit the family business. Her company works in the textile industry, producing yarns for garment factories and also supplying high-end silk materials. Here, she just began to follow the company's management to understand the company's operations, but the bank that lent money to the company refused to continue lending after she poured out the deposits on the company's books and borrowed a lot of foreign debt to repay the principal of the loan. According to the previous practice of corporate loans, after the enterprise returns the principal of the loan, the bank reissues the loan, which allows the enterprise to continue to operate. This time, due to the death of her father and the refusal to pay an important foreign trade order of the company, the bank chose to take out the loan. She was suddenly in a huge financial crisis. After spending the night discussing countermeasures with the company's financial director, on the way back to her residence, a shaking spirit, the car hit a cement pillar, and she fainted on the spot.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up again, she actually arrived at a completely strange place and got married!

There was no time to mourn and be distressed, only to hear a grunting sound in her stomach, she was hungry, extremely hungry. Thinking about it, listening to the conversation between the two just now, she had been lying down for four or five hours.

Xi Xiaoxiao struggled to get up from the bed, and she was still wearing a wedding dress, and the pattern of gold-rimmed embroidery on the dress was beautiful and festive. However, she was extremely hungry, and she did not have the heart to appreciate these ancient embroideries that she loved when she was in college. She lifted the mosquito net. As far as the eye could see, there was a small square table in the middle of the room, on which were placed green teapots and teacups, and there was no food. On the left side of the room, against the head of the bed, is a walnut-colored dresser with a copper mirror on the dresser. On the right side of the room there was a large wardrobe, and on the floor next to the wardrobe, there were more than a dozen boxes, large and small, which looked like her dowry. Too late to see what she looked like now, she put on her big red wedding shoes on the bedside, walked to the door, and squeaked open the door.

Before she could step out of the door, a little girl with a bun and a light blue shirt greeted her, the little girl was petite and had a childish face, and when she saw Xi Xiaoxiao approaching, she quickly blessed her body, "Madam, you are awake, it is so good." My name is Sakura, and it was the housekeeper who asked me to take care of you, Madame. ”

My stomach was still grumbling, and I couldn't figure out the situation at the moment. To solve the problem of food and clothing, Xi Xiaoxiao said to Sakura, "Can you get me something to eat?" I'm going to faint from hunger. ”

"Madame wait, I'll go to the kitchen to get it right away, and the housekeeper will let you prepare food for you," Sakura said and ran out with a cigarette.

Taking advantage of the gap when Sakura went to get food, Xi Xiaoxiao walked to the dresser, picked up the copper mirror and looked at her face, which was a face that was completely unfamiliar to her, willow eyebrows, big round eyes, small and straight nose, ruddy mouth, goose egg face, white skin, pink, thick hair was neatly combed behind her head, tied with a red ribbon. The body should be about one meter six tall, with fair wrists and small hands. Her stomach sang about the empty city, and Sakura had not yet returned, so she picked up the teacup on the square table and poured three cups of water.

Sakura quickly came over with a dinner plate, smelling the aroma of the food, and Xi Xiaoxiao almost couldn't hold back her saliva. On the plate were small bowls of rice, four plates of dishes, one with shredded garlic, one with stuffy chicken nuggets of shiitake mushrooms, one with braised lettuce in oil, and one with fried tofu with chives. Xi Xiaoxiao was eager to immediately roll up the clouds. Sakura is still there. "You go out and get busy, half an hour, oh no, come back in half an hour." Xi Xiaoxiao commanded. She almost forgot that the ancients used hours to measure time. Sakura obediently withdrew.

Xi Xiaoxiao was too hungry, and as soon as the little girl left, she immediately devoured it, and in just a quarter of an hour's effort, she solved all the food on the plate. She couldn't help but burp several times. Fortunately, there is no one at the moment. Rubbing her stomach, she stood up, trying to take a walk, consume food, and observe her surroundings. Confused about her situation, she was a little nervous, not knowing what would happen to her. For now, she needs to wait and see.

Looking out from the door of the room where she was, there was a small patio, surrounded by large leaf trees that she could not name, and in the middle of the patio was a large stone bottle with water lotuses, which should be summer, and the water lotus flowers were blooming, pink and purple, very beautiful. Xi Xiaoxiaogang wanted to go to the patio to have a good look, but he could hear the footsteps and voices coming from near and far. She hurried back to the room and sat down at the square table.

Chapter 2 The People of the General's Mansion

Only to hear the girl who was chatting with Sakura before smiled and said, "The new sister-in-law is finally awake, it's great, General Manager, Brother Mu, you hurry." "Miss, don't worry." A young male voice came. After a while several people entered the door. At the forefront was a young girl in a pink dress, combing a hanging bun, delicate hairpins simply inserted into the hair, sideburns hanging on both sides of the ears, pitch black as a waterfall, the face was also good-looking, melon face, shallow eyebrows, small and straight nose, rosy face. Following her into the door was a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, one head taller than the maiden, wearing a square hat with his hair tucked inside. Behind the middle-aged man was a young man wearing a white shirt and an aqua blue blouse. Sakura followed them into the door.

As soon as the girl in the pink dress came in, she immediately took Xi Xiaoxiao's hand and called out affectionately, "Sister-in-law." Xi Xiaoxiao was a little confused for a moment. She glanced at Sakura, the little girl. Sakura was about to speak. The girl in the pink dress immediately said, "Sister-in-law, I am my brother's sister, my name is Song Yu." Hey. She pointed to the middle-aged man behind her and said, "This is Mu Butler." "This is Brother Mu'an, and he is the son of Mu's butler." Both of the people who were introduced leaned over, made a gesture, and called out "Madame." "Hello," Xi Xiaoxiao replied slightly embarrassed, while observing the comers. Just then, she burped again. Everyone could hear it clearly, and Xi Xiaoxiao's face couldn't help but blush.

"Oh, sister-in-law, is the food in our house good?" Song Yu giggled next to him. The others couldn't help but smile. The girl named Song Yu seemed to be a self-acquaintance, and when they first met, they naturally took her hand. He also sat down on the stool next to Xi Xiaoxiao. Her self-familiarity made Xi Xiaoxiao less restrained, and she herself "huh" smiled.

Mu Butler stepped forward, "Madam, when you first came to the palace, there are places that are not well taken care of, please ask Haihan, if you need to, please let me or Sakura yatou know at any time." The general is far away in the northwest at this time, and please bear with me. "Okay." Xi Xiaoxiao said, she is not only the first time to enter the General's Palace, she is still the first time to enter this world. The general is not in the right place, otherwise many embarrassments will be inevitable. "I have other things to bother you again."

"Madame did as she was told." Mu Butler bowed his head. "Your dowry has been carried into the marriage room, we have not yet moved, if the lady needs to send someone to sort it out, please let us know." Xi Xiaoxiao glanced at the large and small boxes, and she was expecting to find something useful, "Put it away first, I'll deal with it when I have time." "Okay, Madame is ready to command whenever she needs." The butler said and stepped aside.

Song Yu said, "Sister-in-law, you and your brother are newly married, your brother should have been in the palace, but the war in the northwest, the brother can't come back, the emperor's holy will is coming again, and he can only grievance you." From now on, the General's Mansion will be your home. Xi Xiaoxiao nodded slightly in response, "Hmm. ”

It was nearly dusk, twilight was falling, and the marriage room was slightly dim. Mu An, a young man who entered the marriage room together, seemed to have only looked at Xi Xiaoxiao for a moment, and then stood by the door with his head hanging down, and did not come closer. Song Yu pulled his shirt closer, "Brother Mu, do you see if my sister-in-law is beautiful?" Mu An's face was full of embarrassment, and he only whispered back, "Yes, Miss." He hurried back to the door. Song Yu sat back on the stool, she seemed to have just realized that it was almost dark, and immediately ordered Sakura: "Sakura, you quickly light the candle we prepared, my brother is not at home, we still have to make the wedding room happy." Sakura, the little girl, ordered her to light a big red candle with a fire fold, and the room immediately lit up a lot. There was still a bowl on the table that Xi Xiaoxiao had just eaten, and Sakura quickly packed up the plate and took it out.

Because it is a marriage room, the crowd is not good to stay for a long time, just come to say hello.

Song Yu continued to pull Xi Xiaoxiao's hand, "Sister-in-law, you have a good rest today, tomorrow I will take you around the house." Familiarize yourself with the environment. "When you're done, you're ready to go." Xi Xiaoxiao pulled her hand back, "Please, is there a book in the house, I just woke up and had a full meal, I want to read the book." The young man named Mu An seemed surprised and looked up at Xi Xiaoxiao. Song Yu said happily, "Does your sister-in-law also love to read?" Brother Mu'an has a lot of books, Brother Mu, do you want to borrow a few books for your sister-in-law? She turned to Mu An.

Xi Xiaoxiao's plan is that when she first arrives, she is not good at blindly inquiring, books are the best source of information.

Mu An bowed his head slightly and asked Xi Xiaoxiao what type of book he wanted. Xi Xiaoxiao wanted a history class. The crowd retreated. Not long after Xi Xiaoxiao stayed, Sakura returned, and Xi Xiaoxiao asked her to go to Mu An to get the book, so that he would not have to run again.

Not long after Sakura went out, she came in with a few books, and Xi Xiaoxiao asked her to put the books on the table, "Please help me make a plate of water." She herself was still sitting in her chair. From an early age, her father taught her to be polite, no matter where she went, no matter who she was, to be polite. Sakura hurriedly replied, "Madame don't need to be polite, just order it directly, and I will call for water immediately." ”

After Sakura went out, Xi Xiaoxiao picked up a book and looked at it with a big red candle, the candle light flashed, the candle tears flowed slowly and slowly, and the celebration was lonely. The owner of the book should be very protective of the book, all well kept, the typesetting of the book is vertical, traditional, she looks quite laborious. The title of the book is "The Hundred Years of Daxi History", and the country she is in now is the Daxi Dynasty, which has experienced a hundred years since the founding emperor of the first century, and is currently six years in Chen'an. The book describes that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xi Dynasty, it was embattled and chaotic, and after several generations of emperors' efforts, the country is now safe and prosperous. Fortunately, the place she wore was not a place of deep war. Xi Xiaoxiao watched attentively, in an unfamiliar environment, she wanted to know more, although she was not used to reading this kind of typography and font. During this time, Sakura brought water, and Xi Xiaoxiao asked her to go down to rest and continue to read books by herself. It wasn't until the red candle was about to burn out that she simply washed up, took her clothes from the closet and changed them, lay on the bed and thought about it, homesick for a while, thinking about the status quo for a while, thinking about the headache, and not knowing what to do. Tossing and turning, it took a long time to fall asleep again.

The next morning, before she had finished breakfast, Song Yu came running to her and asked her to get acquainted with the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion is not big, after entering the main gate is a bright square patio, the patio dug a small pool, raised a few fish, on both sides is the cloister, walking through the cloister, the middle is the hall, the left side of the hall is distributed in the master room, behind the master room is the marriage room where Xi Xiaoxiao is now living, there is a small room behind the hall, there is a ancestral tablet, separated from the master room by a small courtyard, is the study and the accounting room, the right side is distributed in the box room, Song Yu lives in front, the small courtyard is separated, followed by the kitchen and the servant's room, there is a cloister separated, There is also a small garden behind the house, most of the garden is a martial arts training field, standing weapon racks and wooden stakes, but on the other side is planted Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums and a small pavilion, Xi Xiaoxiao looks at it and feels a little out of tune, Song Yu explained that the martial arts training field is prepared by his brother, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums are planted by Mu An, he is an elegant reader.

There were not many people in the General's Mansion, only four small houses, responsible for guarding the nursing home and chores, two little girls, responsible for taking care of Miss Song Yu and her, and a kitchen lady. The housekeeper is in charge of the affairs of the house, Mu An is a polite reader, occasionally helping Mu Butler keep accounts, the rest of the time is mainly in reading, preparing to take the meritorious name, but also incidentally teaches the big miss Song Yu in the church, is her playmate from childhood to adulthood.

Xi Xiaoxiao could see that Song Yu liked Mu An very much, and since she married in, in addition to accompanying her around the house every day, most of the rest of the time was by Mu An's side, and Mu An seemed to be used to it. Song Yu is the kind of little girl with a big grin and no intentions, and her enthusiasm and happiness are the first warmth that Xi Xiaoxiao feels when she crosses over to this strange place.

In this world for half a month, staying in the palace every day, Xi Xiaoxiao began to feel bored and irritable, her nominal husband jun was far away in the great northwest, she did not know what it looked like, but she was called lady every day. She didn't know what kind of family the original owner had. She didn't know what the future would be. Is she going to spend the rest of her life in the house, no, she doesn't? She wants to see the great rivers and mountains of this great Xi Dynasty, and she wants to live meaningfully. Call him three seven twenty-one, live a wonderful life is the truth.

On this day, she packed up her dowry. Most of the boxes containing the dowry were wedding bedding, clothes, and cloth. She opened them one by one, and in a box contained a lot of jewelry, and there was a mezzanine in the jewelry box, and Xi Xiaoxiao opened the mezzanine, which was a stack of silver tickets, which were thousands and two, and she took the silver tickets into her arms. There is also a letter inside, which reads: "Xi Yue, Wu'er, the emperor has issued a holy will, Daddy niang has no way, afraid of you making trouble, I have to use medicine to confuse you, don't blame Daddy Niang, the silver ticket is good to receive, there is something to remember to write to inform, I hope you have a good life in the General's Mansion, don't act arbitrarily, Daddy Niang." The original owner's original name was Li Xiyue. It seems that the original parents still love this child very much. Perhaps it was really as Song Yu said, the little girl did not want to marry, and the father and mother could not have children, so they were sent to the General's Mansion in a hurry. She collected the silver ticket and jewelry, left a few plain clothes, and the other dowry was paid by the housekeeper to the general's treasury.

With money in hand, Xi Xiaoxiao decided that he could no longer eat and wait for death in the General's Mansion.

Chapter Three: Far Above the Great Northwest

With the girl Song Yu present, Xi Xiaoxiao heard a lot of things.

The Northwest General, that is, Xi Xiaoxiao's nominal husband, surnamed Song Mingrun, is now Chinese New Year's Eve years old, he is old and established the town to guard one side, strictly governing the army, defending the enemy well, and is very appreciated by the current emperor. However, the wife's bad luck, married twice did not have a good result. The first wife was a doll relative from Xiaoding, Song Run married into the door when he was 20 years old, and he died of an acute illness after only a few months of marriage. The second wife was the second daughter of Zhang Da, a general who guarded the southwest of Zhenshou, and had been married into the General's Mansion for less than half a year, and also died suddenly. For several years, the emperor was afraid that he would remain single, so he had this marriage.

Xi Xiaoxiao once mistakenly entered the Ancestral Shrine in fuchu and was shocked to see two tablets erected, one with the "Spiritual Seat of My Wife Song Ju" and the other with the "Spiritual Seat of My Wife Zhang Lanxin". Married twice the wife is dead, is it really a wife? She hurried away, not daring to go in again.

"My brother's ambition since he was a child is to make meritorious achievements and defend his homeland. From an early age, he learned martial arts, learned the art of war, and read military books. Starting from a small soldier, he became a great general, but it was remarkable. Once when we talked about Song Run, Song Yu's eyes were full of pride.

"Sister-in-law, you will definitely like your brother, he is a big hero." She took Xi Xiaoxiao's hand and said confidently. Is this general really as powerful as her sister says? Why did both ex-wives die? Xi Xiaoxiao kind of wanted to see what this person looked like, was he a fierce god or a heroic martial artist? Is it fat or thin? Thirty will become the general of the town guard, and he will have a superiority.

On this day, Song Yu pulled Xi Xiaoxiao to chat and went out to find Mu An, Xi Xiaoxiao could see that Song Yu's whole heart was on Mu An, and she didn't know how Mu An's attitude was, but the two of them were young and plum, and the friendship was deep and must be true. She asked Sakura to go out into the street to buy some snacks, and Sakura ordered her out. Xi Xiaoxiao changed into men's clothes, tied his hair like Mu An's with a crown belt, and sneaked out the back door with a small bag. Her baggage was silver tickets and clothes, and she found two men's clothes from the closet in the general's room next door and stuffed them with small bags of gold and silver jewelry. When you go out, it is always more reassuring to have money. In case of a thief, she stuffed half of her silver ticket in her shoes and socks. It is estimated that when she takes out the silver ticket, the taste will be very sour, Xi Xiaoxiao thought.

Xi Xiaoxiao was going to the Great Northwest to meet her husband, whom she had never met, if she could ask him to give him a letter of resignation. Although this country is not a country she has seen in the history books, according to what she saw and listened to Song Yu from the books, the status of women here is still not high, it is a patriarchal society, she wants to walk freely outside, she needs to be free.

She wrote a note at the head of the bed, "Go to the northwest to find the general, don't look for it," and sneaked out with her baggage. Because I probed the situation in advance, I didn't meet anyone before I went out. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she closed the back door carefully, and the back door of a house opposite the backyard of the General's Mansion was also opened, and a tall, handsome man in a purple-red robe came out. Xi Xiaoxiao originally planned to walk away directly, but the other party stopped her and arched his hand: "This little brother, but a member of the General's Mansion?" Xi Xiaoxiao had to stop, she put the burden behind her steady, raised her hand and replied: "In the lower is the general's distant cousin, who came from other places to surrender, but the general is far away in the northwest, and is preparing to go to the northwest camp to surrender to the general." When Xi Xiaoxiao was doing it, the wide sleeves of men's clothing slipped down a large section of her arms, and the people on the opposite side saw her white arms, and a glint of essence flashed in her eyes. The other party approached a step closer, "In the lower Liu Jingxuan, with General Song in the DPRK as an official, the little brother is good, dare to ask the honorific surname and big name." Xi Xiaoxiao took a half step back, bowed his head and respectfully replied, "Meet Lord Liu, a small person, whose name is not enough to hang his teeth." She said nonsense. Liu Jingxuan couldn't help but smile: "Well, do you need Lord Ben to show you the way?" Xi Xiaoxiao hurriedly prayed: "Don't bother, the adults are busy first, I, I will go first." After saying that, he hurried away.

According to the information she inquired from the small house in the house, Xi Xiaoxiao went out of the alley, went west, found a shop at the end of the street that bought horses, and bought a muscular, dark-haired horse for 20 taels of silver, and she gave the horse a name called Jiancai, which made the shop owner laugh. After inquiring in detail about the way to the northwest and buying the only map the store had in hand, she jumped on horseback and set off on horseback. Her petite figure and flexible movements on the horse, the shopkeeper could not help but sigh a "little brother this riding skill is not bad!" Xi Xiaoxiao smiled, and the shopkeeper who sold horses was a little shaken. In the past life, Xi Xiaoxiao's father let her learn equestrianism, she also had a special horse, called Freehand, at that time to name the horse is to want to live a freehand life, who knows a change let her to the other world, thinking back to the past, Xi Xiaoxiao has a little bit of hurt, to ride on the back of the horse, wiped her tears, gave herself an encouraging smile, she set off for the city gate.

Before leaving the city, thinking that she should prepare some food, she turned back to find a shop that sold food, bought a lot of dry food in the store and stuffed it into the baggage, when she left the store, she was greeted by a small town in the General's Mansion, Xi Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and led the horse, the other party seemed to be looking for her, fortunately did not recognize her. She also went to a rouge shop and bought a box of grease stuffers for her face, and then made it all the way out of town. The fat powder is used to blacken the face, and the original body is too white.

The journey to the Great Northwest was still relatively smooth, that is, a long time of horseback riding, so that Xi Xiaoxiao's inner thighs were ground out of the cocoon, she simply slowed down, walked slowly during the day, looked at the mountains and rivers of this big Xi country, and found a shop to live in at night. The towns she passed through were all prosperous scenes, with the rich dressed rich and the commoners dressed modestly but with a peaceful face, and it seemed that the country's economy was good. In the early stage of the rush, she also needed to deliberately smear herself with fat powder, and after the sunburn, her skin was naturally darkened by a few degrees, and she no longer smeared powder.

Along the way, she learned that there were four large armies on the border of the Xi kingdom, the northwest army was commanded by general Song Run, the southwest army was commanded by the veteran general Zhang Da, the northeast army was commanded by the foreign surname Wang Ye Dujin, and the southeast army was commanded by the current emperor's uncle Si Nanyu. The four generals were on the side of the way, so that the people of the Great Xi Kingdom lived in a peaceful year.

After more than a month, Xi Xiaoxiao finally arrived at the border city of Meian City, where the northwest army was stationed, which was close to the desert, the north wind often whistled through, and the environment was worse than other places, but here all ethnic groups lived together, and it was a fortress for trading with the countries in the north, and all kinds of commodities were convenient to trade, and people came and went very lively. You can also eat a variety of delicacies. Xi Xiaoxiao bought several local special costumes and replaced the men's clothes he had brought from the General's Mansion. She found a street inn to stay, let the inn's little two help feed the horses, gave a tip of one or two silver, the little two were very attentive, and the crisp and loud "Howler, guest management you are assured" made Xi Xiaoxiao think that he had worn it into the TV series.

In the three days after staying in the inn, Xi Xiaoxiao wandered around during the day to see the customs and customs, and at night he ate dinner in the inn and listened to the owner of the inn, Xiao Er and the guests staying in the inn chatting. She knew a lot about General Song Run from the small talk.

General Song once ran wildly on his horse and beheaded the general of a certain tribe in the north who came to sneak attack under his horse. General Song ruled the army strictly, and once tied soldiers who violated military discipline to the gate of the barracks for a day. General Song was tall and mighty, and his eyes were cold, and he could easily suppress people. General Song did not seem to love women, and there were once Qinglou women in Mo'an City who wanted to get close to the general, but before they could get close, they were scared away by the general.

Most importantly, Xi Xiaoxiao learned that the Northwest Army would begin to conduct a large-scale training in January in the north of the city tomorrow, and the army was preparing for the next few days, and the general would hit the door of the inn tomorrow.

The next day, Xi Xiaoxiao planned to stay in the inn room all morning, and after breakfast on the first floor of the inn, she moved a stool and sat at the window of the room, while looking at the scenery of the street market, while waiting to see the true face of General Song. At about ten o'clock in the morning, Xi Xiaoxiao waited to fall asleep, a series of rattling horses' hooves sounded, Xi Xiaoxiao looked up, a tall man wearing a helmet, wearing armor, holding a sword in one hand, and holding a horse rope in the other slowly rode from the end of the street, behind him were several other generals, some young and old, and behind the general on horseback was a large number of walking soldiers. The marching army was very quiet, except for the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, the rest was the sound of armor rubbing, and even the crowd watching the bustle on the side of the road was very quiet.

Xi Xiaoxiao looked at the man who nodded his head, his angular face, like a knife, a military uniform, his eyes were light, riding on a horse, full of momentum, she was still the first time to see such a person with his own momentum, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. She went to ask for a letter of resignation, will the other party solve her with a knife? Maybe she had been staring at the ground for a long time, and the man on the horse looked up in the direction she was in. Xi Xiaoxiao only felt a little cold, and quickly bowed his head and became invisible. When the army went to the camp, she sat still for a long time.

On the second day of the camping of the large army and the start of the drill, Xi Xiaoxiao heard that due to the need for the army to strengthen the drill and improve the logistics support, it was necessary to recruit several men who could cook. Xi Xiaoxiao's mother died early, her father was busy running a business, she became self-reliant early, and she thought she was a good dish. She felt she could try it. General Song has been in the military camp for a long time, and it is not easy to meet him, but it is a good idea to enter the camp.

Chapter Four: Entering the Barracks and Becoming a Husband

The place where the Northwest Army exercised was in a large oasis about five kilometers after leaving Meian City, and nearly 10,000 soldiers participated in the exercise. The soldiers set up camp in the oasis, leaving two hundred troops to take turns to guard around the camp every day, and the rest of the people carried out physical training and practical exercises every day, and the physical training was fine, no different from the usual training. But the practical drill is difficult, they need to leave the oasis, hike into the desert, learn to discern the direction, learn how to hide themselves, but also to fight against the drill opponents, and have to return to the barracks within the specified time, otherwise they will only starve if they miss the meal time.

On this day, a large group of soldiers who had finished the drill in a mighty manner returned, all in the appearance of dusty servants, but still lined up neatly and walked sonorously and forcefully, and I don't know which general issued the order: "After today's drill, each of them will return to the camp to prepare for dinner.", and the soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner and returned to each battalion. Xi Xiaoxiao was staying in the area where the brothers were preparing dinner, and at this time they were dividing the main food for each battalion, including rice, flatbread, nest heads, vegetable porridge, and two large dishes. The food of the Northwest Army was not bad, and Xi Xiaoxiao felt that it was not much different from the food of the modern army. Divide the staple food, send people to collect it, and return to the camp after each camp. After busy with the business at hand, Xi Xiaoxiao finally had time to empty himself. She stared at the main ledger for a long time.

Song Run was still wearing the marching general's uniform and talking to several of his subordinates, he was taller than the other subordinates, visually measuring more than one meter and nine meters, Xi Xiaoxiao looked at him from a distance, saw him laugh heroically for a while, waved his arms and pointed at the next, and the other generals either laughed or nodded. Xi Xiaoxiao felt that Song Run had a kind of arrogance at this time. She was a little stunned, this man was really a natural general. She didn't know what several people were discussing.

Xi Xiaoxiao entered the camp the day after the army had encamped. The day after seeing Song Run upstairs at the inn, she packed up her things, settled the inn's room and board, and led her horse to the recruitment office. There are only five people in the recruitment office, which should be the reason for the recruitment position, and few people are willing to be a partner. At this time, the two northwest armies were responsible for recruitment, two young men who applied for a husband, and the rest was Xi Xiaoxiao. In the barracks, a soldier in charge saw Xi Xiaoxiao wearing a sackcloth coat, carrying a cloth bag, and holding a horse behind him, and his weight was only one meter and six meters, looking very thin.

The soldier stared at Xi Xiaoxiao up and down for a moment, "This little brother, is he here to apply for the husband of our Northwest Army?" "Xi Xiaoxiaohui" is. The soldier continued, "I see that you are so invincible, can you cook, our general wants to find a good cook, so as to comfort the big guys for the hard work of the drill." If you can't cook, you can't be recruited in. Xi Xiaoxiao laughed lightly and said, "This big brother, I am a little short, but the cooking skills are not high, short, fat and thin, not to mention that you have not tried my cooking skills, how do you know that it is not possible, so when I enter the camp, I will immediately fry a dish of my hometown for you to taste." And I went all the way from south to north, just to join the Northwest Army, the first few days of waiting for no chance, and now finally there is, please big brother must let me into the camp. My thousand-mile horse is called Jiancai, and I am also going to dedicate it to the army. The soldier looked at her, and then at the horse she was leading, "Yo, it's a military fan of our army." ”

"Come, register your name, what's your name?" The soldier asked.

"Uh, my name is... My name is Xi Erxiao. Xi Xiaoxiao hu said a name.

"Your name is very simple. Where are the people? The soldier glanced at Xi Xiaoxiao again. Nanyang people. "How did you, a southerner, run away from our Northwest Army?" The soldier was a little surprised. "Don't I admire the might of our northwest army, and the bravery of General Song?" After asking some other questions, Xi Xiaoxiao answered one by one according to the abdominal draft he had typed last night. In the past, when the family company recruited, she would also ask the candidate some questions, and she made preparations accordingly. Therefore, Xi Xiaoxiao entered the camp under the name of Xi Erxiao and became a brother-in-law.

The two young men who entered the camp with Xi Xiaoxiao, one named Chen Dabao, was a native of Mo'an, and when the three of them chatted, he said that he had been an apprentice under the chef for a long time, and he could have taken charge of the spoon alone, but his master never let him, and he wanted to continue to grind him, and he entered the military camp in a huff. One named Yi Zhongcai, a native of Linguan Province, originally ran a small restaurant of his own, but the management was not good and closed, and now he has not married, nor has he bought property, and he is alone. Xi Xiaoxiao said that he had also been an apprentice in a tavern for two years, learning to cook some southern dishes, because he admired the general and wanted to join the army. She called the two men brothers, a big brother, a loyal brother, and the two men looked at "him" as small, thin, sweet mouth, and took good care of "him". Xi Xiaoxiao has been with his father since he was a child, no matter who he meets, he is polite and polite, the so-called angry and rich, he will not look down on anyone, his father once said that everyone will encounter difficulties, and anyone can turn the tables against the wind.

The two of them were friends who worked together as husbands and would be her indispensable companions in the future. Of course, there is no table here.

Entering the barracks, Xi Xiaoxiao thought that she had the opportunity to get close to Song Run, but she could only watch from a distance every time. On the first day of entering the camp, he appeared, and when the whole army was assembled in the evening, he spoke a few words to the whole army, basically saying that all the officers and men should raise their spirits, devote themselves to the exercise with a positive attitude and full of enthusiasm, and must not be lazy, lax, or evade training. Song Run's words were loud, high-pitched and magnetic, and Xi Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the end of the line, looked down and listened quietly, not daring to look, that day on the upper floor of the inn, General Song did not know whether he noticed him. In the next few days, he was either directing the drill of the army or discussing things with the generals, and there were two tall guards standing at the door of the main account, and Xi Xiaoxiao, as an ordinary man, was not allowed to enter the account without receiving orders. The men and women who are important departments of logistics support are also very busy in the drills of the army, preparing food for so many people, and they can hardly stop for a moment. From getting up to bedtime, Xi Xiaoxiao was almost busy, washing vegetables, preparing vegetables, and turning over the dishes in the pot with a shovel and spoon under the command of the master manager, and he was also responsible for dividing them. She felt that her hands were going to be destroyed. Every day, when the army was eating collectively, it was also her rare rest time, eating the extra dishes made by the people in charge of the spoon to their brothers in turn, listening to the sounds of eating and discussing from all over the place, occasionally talking to the people around her, she felt an inexplicable happiness that she had never had in her previous life. The group of people around them, eating simple food, wearing simple clothes, doing the great cause of defending the country, tired and happy. It turns out that being a soldier is such a feeling.

The sky in the Great Northwest was low, xi Xiaoxiao entered the camp in the summer, after the sun set, through the sunset, eating, listening, looking at the vast land, she felt very peaceful and safe. Yes, safe, surrounded by men, she felt like she was about to forget her feminine identity. Sometimes, Xi Xiaoxiao sighed psychologically, but unfortunately she was not a man.

Song Run's meals were personally spooned by the chief supervisor, and his guards came to the room to get the main account. Xi Xiaoxiao originally thought about whether he could take the opportunity to deliver food to the general to talk to Song Run, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity.

The work of the gang room is simple and busy, and when encountering heavy work, Chen Dabao and Yi Zhongcai always do not forget to help Xi Xiaoxiao, so that Xi Xiaoxiao's tiny arms and waist can exist intact. During the exercise period when the army was outside, everyone slept in the tent, set up a simple bed around the tent, and dealt with it with a thin quilt. At first, Chen Dabao wanted Xi Xiaoxiao to sleep between him and Yi Zhongcai, Xi Xiaoxiao looked at the men in the tent a little frightened, and found an excuse that it was easy to have nightmares and sleep at night, she occupied the position in the far corner of the tent, and there was a pillar on each side of this position to support the tent, which could be slightly separated from others. Taking a bath was the most troublesome thing, she could only find time to get a little water to wipe herself, Xi Xiaoxiao felt that if she went on like this, she would stink.

There is a small lake in the oasis of the army drill, called Yueyin Lake, it is said that the night with the moon is very beautiful, the shadows of the trees are leisurely, the moon is silver and silver, many soldiers will jump into the lake to take a bath after a busy day, Chen Dabao and Yi Zhongcai also ask xi Xiaoxiao to go, she does not dare.

Chen Dabao and Yi Zhongcai couldn't help but laugh at her, "Hey, I said second little brother, your guts are too small, take a bath together are afraid" Chen Dabao's voice was slightly thicker, and he deliberately made fun of it. "I see, the second little brother, is a pure place, afraid of being seen by everyone," Yi Zhongcai also followed. Xi Xiaoxiao's face was flushed, and he did not argue, only raised his hand and begged to let it go. So the two stopped asking her out.

Chapter Five: She saves General Song

On this day, it was already the tenth day of Xi Xiaoxiao's entry into the barracks, and after a busy morning and free time, the people in the gang room finally had time to sit down and chat, and Xi Xiaoxiao heard from his companions in the gang room that General Song Run had returned to Mo'an City on official business, leaving the deputy general Cheng An in charge of supervising the drill of the army. Xi Xiaoxiao had seen this Cheng An in the restaurant in Meian City.

That day she wanted to taste the roast leg of lamb with the flavor of the Great Northwest, she ordered a plate by herself, and was nibbling alone, when suddenly four or five soldiers walked in, and these people sat at the table next to her, and as soon as they sat down, several people began to talk, and a soldier with a rough voice said to the person on the other side: "Your boy was good yesterday, taking advantage of the rotation, he actually practiced arm strength with He Er Dog, almost broke his hand by He Er Dog, how, finally saw how strong the Second Dog is." Only to hear a person on the other side reply curtly: "The second dog is really a divine power, I am still the first time I have seen someone with such a strong wrist strength, my right hand almost did not dislocate him." If it weren't for the coaxing, I wouldn't have been able to compare with him, hey, I've won't be able to win. Several people continued to eat and talk. Overheard a young soldier asking the person next to him: Vice Admiral Cheng, I heard that the emperor gave our general a marriage, the woman is the first beauty in Yanyang City, how the general did not go back to accompany the new lady, by the way, try to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible. Only to hear a clear male voice reply: "Your boy eat quickly, the general's private affairs also dare to be presumptuous, be careful of being trained by the general to lose a skin." Xi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look toward the speaking deputy general, who had dark skin, thick and dense eyebrows, a Chinese character face, wearing a military uniform, sitting on the end of a bench, with his sword hanging next to him, half a head taller than the other soldiers, and was eating meat in a big mouth, quite like the style of the Northwest Han. Several people should be out on business, temporarily running to add food, this vice admiral Cheng seems to be a foodie, the dish on the table mouth has not stopped. Several people finished eating and left, or vice admiral Cheng An settled the account.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Xiaoxiao was helping to prepare dishes in the gang room, and overheard the chief manager of the gang room beckoning everyone to stop their work and prepare to kill the sheep, it turned out that the prefect of Meian City had sent more than 20 sheep to comfort the soldiers who were practicing. Approaching meal preparation time, the temporary increase in work, the general manager instructed everyone to deal with the sheep problem first, and then prepare dinner. A group of people began to slaughter sheep, dehair, pickle, prepare grills, prepare charcoal for roasting sheep, etc., Xi Xiaoxiao had never killed a sheep, a little scared, she applied to prepare charcoal, trying to avoid the scene that she felt was a little bloody.

On this evening, the barracks were very lively, each battalion was divided into two sheep, each sent people to set up a fire to roast, while roasting the sheep while eating and chatting, the heat was in full swing, even the soldiers who were on duty to guard the safety of the group could not help but smell the smell of rice, listen to the discussion of the group and drool.

When the hustle and bustle dissipated, the soldiers all went to camp and went to sleep, and it was already midnight. Xi Xiaoxiao, who had been busy for a day, was sticky and covered with oil. After so many days without a good bath, she was extremely unbearable. Quietly surrounding him, holding a clean dress, Xi Xiaoxiao sneaked out of the tent in the moonlight. She was going to take a bath at Lake Yueyin.

In the night of the moon yin lake, the lake in the moonlight shines a bright light, the water surface is sprinkled with silver glow, the night is low, the sky is dotted with stars, no one is everywhere, very quiet. Finding a place with lush vegetation to put away his clothes, taking off his military uniform and wearing only his underwear, Xi Xiaoxiao went into the water. At first, she did not dare to be careless, but only dared to wash herself with water in the dark place by the lake, which was hidden by trees. Later, when there was no one around, she had the audacity to swim. She swam back and forth very cheerfully for more than a dozen times, and finally her whole body was refreshed. Tired of swimming, lying on the lake quietly admiring this beautiful moonlight, the night sky in the northwest is clean and vast, so that she can't help but be excited,

Overhearing a roar, Xi Xiaoxiao was startled, she did not dare to move. Fortunately, her figure was blocked by the lush grass, her heart was pounding, and her palms began to sweat from tension. If she was seen, she would be miserable, and she would also be able to enter the camp to know that the Northwest Army forbade women to enter, and violators were immediately beheaded. Two men dressed in black were talking, and one of them said in a shrill voice: We have been lurking for several days, and finally caught this Song Run, and today we have finished him, and we can go back to life. The other said in a hoarse and cold voice: This is his fate, and if he had not left the camp, we would not have found this opportunity. Let's go, go back and give the prince a new life. The two of them finished talking and disappeared into the night.

Xi Xiaoxiao was frightened, and she felt her heart jump to her throat. Song Run was killed? How come? He obviously looks quite capable of fighting. He was the commander of the army, her titular husband. She didn't even say a word to him, and he died? When the two men in black walked away, she quietly swam to the place where Song Run was thrown into the water. In the moonlight, the water was dark, and she touched it in the water for a while before finding Song Run, and it took a lot of effort to pull him out of the water. In the moonlight, Song Run's eyes were tightly closed, his hair was scattered, and his body was wet, and his angular face was a miserable white at the moment. Xi Xiaoxiao, who had never seen such a scene before, was frightened, and his hands and feet were shaking.

Reaching out his hand to probe Song Run's sniffles, it was okay, there was still a trace of breath. According to the first aid knowledge learned in the past life, Xi Xiaoxiao began to give Song Run emergency first aid, she first looked at Song Run's mouth and nose, and there was no foreign body blockage, so she slightly adjusted his head to form a backward posture, pinched his nose with one hand, took a deep breath, and Xi Xiaoxiao gave the air to Song Run mouth to mouth. She immediately changed positions and pressed Song Run's chest with both hands, artificially crossing the air, pressing the chest, artificially crossing the air, pressing the chest, going back and forth a dozen times, Song Run finally spit out the water. He opened his eyes slightly, only to see a hazy figure in front of him, and then fainted again. A first aid made Xi Xiaoxiao sweat profusely.

Not far away, there was a noise, and someone was shouting "General, General." It was Cheng An who led the search. Afraid of being seen by others, she hurriedly put on her clothes, lowered her body, lowered her voice, and learned Song Run's voice to shout in an intermittent voice, "I... at...... this. "I... at....... this. To make sure the searchers heard, she shouted again, as if she were about to lose her breath. I could hear people running toward this side in the distance. Xi Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran in the opposite direction with his clothes on his back and forth, crept and did not dare to make a sound, ran far, and only then did he hide incognito and did not dare to move. She was extremely afraid, afraid that the two killers had not left, afraid of being discovered by Cheng An's people. Fortunately, Cheng An found Song Run and immediately led someone to carry him back to the barracks. Xi Xiaoxiao also sneaked back to the tent in a state of confusion. The person sat on the bed, and one of her hearts landed. The people in the same tent were asleep, not woken up, too, after a busy day, everyone was extremely tired. About to collapse, Xi Xiaoxiao collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Song Run will be saved, right? Before going to sleep she thought confusedly.

Chapter Six: The Head of the House Makes Her an Apprentice

The next day, Xi Xiaoxiao woke up to the noise of getting up with the men in the tent, they were from the dormitory, and naturally they had to get up earlier than others. After sleeping for less than four hours, her head was so dizzy that she had to get up. Chen Dabao saw that her spirit was not very good, and asked with concern: "Erxiao, what is wrong with you?" Didn't sleep well? "Xi Xiaoxiao held his forehead with his hand" Yesterday there was some noise outside the camp, I was woken up, so I didn't sleep well. Didn't you hear that? "Everyone else inside the tent said they didn't hear a sound.

Man, once busy, sleepworms will be driven away. In the busyness after getting up, Xi Xiaoxiao threw himself into work again. She wanted to inquire about General Song, but she could only wait for the people of the battalions to send someone to collect food.

For several days in a row, she was responsible for distributing food to the battalions, and when the people came to fetch it, she asked one of the tall, thin men what had happened last night. The tall man whispered in her ear: I heard that the general was attacked last night, and Vice Admiral Cheng led people to look for half a day to find it, and last night the military doctor was urgently called to the big tent, and he was busy until we came out before we had dinner? "What happened to the general?" She also asked in a low voice. "I don't know the specific situation, but who our general is, he will certainly be safe." "Well, God will bless the general." Xi Xiaoxiao also learned the man to say. In her heart, she also hoped that Song Run would be safe and sound.

Song Run's breakfast was personally taken by the deputy general Cheng An, and instead of taking the food prepared by the chief manager of the house, he let him re-boil a bowl of white porridge. The general wanted to inquire about the situation, but Cheng An only replied that the general was slightly injured and that there was no other obstacle, and asked the people in the room not to talk about the general's affairs anymore, so as not to disturb the hearts of the army.

For the next five days, each meal of Song Run was taken by Cheng An himself, and all of them were light food, and there was a lot of food left on the plate, and Xi Xiaoxiao could see that General Song was not slightly injured as Cheng An said, otherwise he would not have left the camp for many days. The drill of the large army continued, and several generals under Song Run were in charge, and the whole army did not slacken off. While guarding Song Run's safety, Cheng An strengthened the guard of the whole army, the number of personnel responsible for the duty of the army tripled, and the time to enter the desert actual combat exercise was also shortened, and most of the time was trained on the edge of the oasis. Moreover, according to the instructions, the time for the whole army to exercise was shortened to twenty days, and after twenty days, the battalion was to be pulled out and returned to the city.

After that Yueyin Lake incident, Xi Xiaoxiao did not dare to go out again, she was afraid that if something happened again, her little life would be lost. What she didn't know was that from the last attack on the general, Cheng An consulted with several generals and conducted an in-depth investigation of the whole army to see if there was a ghost in the army. Xi Xiaoxiao has been working hard in the gang room these days, and the people who investigated her did not find anything unusual.

On the sixth day after Song Run's injury, Cheng An did not appear, it was the guards at the gate of Song Run's big tent who came to take food, and at lunch, the guards asked the supervisor to cook some light and refreshing food that the injured person could eat. This is difficult to the general manager, light food he will do, refreshing food will also be done, but light and refreshing and under the meal is difficult. He looked at the three new men and asked in a loud voice, "Who of the three of you will do it?" Chen Dabao and Yi Zhongcai looked at each other and did not dare to answer the call. Xi Xiaoxiao said he could try it. Therefore, the supervisor asked Xi Xiaoxiao to do this meal.

Xi Xiaoxiao prepared sour radish, white-seared greens, meat foam tofu, plus a bowl of vegetable porridge. She didn't know if General Song Run would love to eat, but it didn't matter if she fought for one. After coming to the military camp for more than ten days, she still had to find a way to contact Song Run face to face, otherwise would she really have to stay in the military camp all the time? She is a girl, and there will always be many inconveniences.

At dinner time in the evening, Song Run's bodyguards came again, asking Xi Xiaoxiao to continue to eat for the general, and said that the general had eaten half of the lunch, mainly because these foods were eaten for the first time in the army. "The dish is good, but the skill of the spoon is not enough, the second small, the general gave you an evaluation." The level of cooking should be improved. Xi Xiaoxiao had to laugh twice and continue to prepare dinner. The guards will pick it up later.

The grand master was also on the side, and he remembered that Xi Xiaoxiao said that he was a southerner, and the food of southerners was very different from that of the north, and maybe Xi Xiaoxiao could make very different dishes.

The surname of the grand manager is Hu, the name of hu is not bad, and he is also a native of Meian. The reason why he has been in the military room for many years, his arm strength is amazing, his cooking skills are also very exquisite, and he picks up a large pot and shovel to stir-fry vegetables is a gust of wind, which can fry large dishes and can also fry small dishes. There is a very good set of northern food. There was one, with a particularly loud voice, and whoever was lazy below, he had to say hello.

Xi Xiaoxiao has been working under him for more than ten days, he saw That Xi Xiaoxiao doing things seriously, and he was also very kind, "Second primary, after that, you will follow my subordinates to learn, specialize in laying hands for me, the general's food you come to garnish, tell me the steps, I will fry." "Xi Xiaoxiao is a little dazed, she oh oh twice." How, unwilling? "No, I was so happy, I didn't expect you to be willing to teach me, hehe" Xi Xiaoxiao hurriedly approached, shaking his fists with both hands, "Thank you Master, please accept the disciple's worship." She bowed 90 degrees. As the saying goes, there is a skill, she will not be afraid of where she goes in the future, she is willing to learn, very, very willing.

"I only let you lay hands, how can I worship you, Hu Bulai laughed.

"Master, your cooking skills are exquisite, please do not hesitate to teach, the disciples must study seriously." Xi Xiaoxiao was very sincere and serious.

"Well, it's up to you. Have you thought about the dinner dish for the general today? Hu Bulai asked.

"Master, we southerners are very fond of cooking porridge and soup, I suggest porridge with pork rib soup, rib soup to add peanuts." We can do this... Xi Xiaoxiao described the method of porridge. So the two masters and apprentices prepared the general's dinner.

For three consecutive days, Xi Xiaoxiao was preparing recipes in different ways, this recipe also had to take into account the patient's situation, fortunately, she loved to watch food programs when she was in college, and she didn't learn less, otherwise she really wanted to go bald. Hu Bulai was quite appreciative of her, he did not expect that this southern boy knew so many southern dishes, which made his northern chef look at him. There was a little he was not satisfied, Xi Xiaoxiao knew a lot of dishes, but let her make the dishes, the taste could not satisfy him. He decided to teach well. Therefore, Xi Xiaoxiao began to practice every day under the supervision of her master, of course, not to the general, but to the colleagues in the gang room to try. With the guidance of the chef, the cooking skills began to improve.

On this day, it was the penultimate day after the end of the army drill, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng An came to the gang room, at that time Xi Erxiao was helping the master prepare vegetables, a large piece of meat in his hand, the other hand in the slice of meat, Hu Bulai let her slice the meat thin and large, "Xi Erxiao, the general wants to summon you." Cheng An stood at the door of the gang room and looked at "him." "Please wait, I'll finish the meat." Xi Xiaoxiao nodded his head to indicate that he had received it, but continued to move his hands. "I heard that you will have a lot of southern recipes, and the specialties you are good at have to be made empty for me to taste" Cheng An was very sincere and the tone was very kind. As soon as Xi Xiaoxiao heard his words, he knew that this person was a foodie. "I am learning to grill meat, General Cheng is not disgusted, we will meet the general, I will roast you." "That's good." Cheng Anfu urged again, "Hurry up and see the general, the general is waiting." Xi Xiaoxiao had to speed up the movement of his hands, wash his hands and follow Cheng An to the main account.

"When you see the general, you have to talk back seriously, the general has a golden eye of fire, and if you lie, you will be severely punished." Halfway down the road, Ann instructed. "But don't be afraid, just answer seriously, the general is a very talented person." Not easily punished. Afraid that Xi Xiaoxiao would be afraid when he first saw the general, Cheng An comforted.

Chapter Seven: Face-to-Face Conversation with General Song

Song Run's large tent was in the middle of the entire camp, and there were two soldiers guarding the gate. In the early days, the large troops responsible for the duty of the large army were mainly distributed around the camp, and later due to the attack on Song Run, the defense force was strengthened, and the battalion also began to take the main account as the center, radiating out every two accounts and sending troops on duty. The tent of the dormitory is located at the back of the camp, if you overlook the whole camp, it is in the northeast corner, due to the need for food supply, a special road is left to enter and exit, and the intersection is guarded.

The main force of the army was scattered on the edge of the oasis and the desert for actual combat exercises, and the soldiers on duty in the camp were in addition to the people in the room. Xi Xiaoxiao actually wanted to ask, leaving the main city and running to the desert to practice, not afraid of being attacked by the enemy? But she did not dare to rush to find someone to understand, and could only wait and see what happened, after all, Song Run was not a fool, and she would definitely have a grasp of the overall situation.

When they arrived at the door of the main account, Cheng An went first to ask for instructions, Xi Xiaoxiao waited at the door first, and the two soldiers at the door usually went to the gang room, so she knew each other, so she smiled and nodded. "Second child, you come in." Cheng An opened the curtain at the door of the tent and let Xi Xiaoxiao enter.

Song Run's main account was very clean and tidy, with several wooden stools on both sides, a large array of arrangements hanging on the left, a small wooden table on the right, pen, ink, paper and soldier books on the table, and a shelf on the wooden table, on which was a set of general uniforms. A camp bed was placed in the middle, and General Song himself was half lying on it, gauze wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and draped in a black tunic. When Xi Xiaoxiao entered, he was reading a book.

That night in Yueyin Lake, Xi Xiaoxiao used the moonlight to save people, a rush, plus Song Run was wearing dark clothes, and soaked in water, so Xi Xiaoxiao did not notice that Song Run's waist and abdomen were injured.

Stepping into the main account, Xi Xiaoxiao did not dare to look more, only glanced at it hurriedly, immediately closed his hands, and bowed his head to see him. "The second smallest seat in the room, meet the general." Song Run slowly put down the book, did not speak, and looked up at Xi Xiaoxiao for half a minute. Xi Xiaoxiao muttered in his heart, Is General Song going to interrogate her? When was she exposed? She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Song Run. Since childhood, he has heard about his father's side, Xi Xiaoxiao knows that no matter what the identity of the other party is, when negotiating or communicating with the other party, he must behave naturally, calmly, and dare to look into the eyes of the other party, not to stare all the time, but to have eye contact from time to time. This not only shows your attitude, but also can see something in the eyes of the other person. If you keep dodging or keeping promises, the other party can easily see through you.

Song Run's eyes looked directly at her, as if he was inquiring. "You're from the South?" Seeing Xi Xiaoxiao look back at him without the slightest fear, Song Run made a sound. His voice is thick and magnetic.

"Yes, General."

"Where are the people?" "Nanyang."

"Oh? As far as I know, Nanyang is closer to General Zhang Da's southwest army. Why did you travel thousands of miles to the Northwest Army? Song Run asked.

"General Hui, I came for you. Although you are in the northwest, but about your heroic deeds, Nanyang also heard from time to time, I was a hotel apprentice that meeting, Mr. Storyteller sat in the lobby of the hotel, shocked the hall wood, began to talk about the northwest army to resist the enemy side, your name is like thunder, I often hear forget to work, hehehe. In addition, I was born in a small southern city, and I had never seen the grand scenery of the northwest, so I had to think about it from afar. I have always been determined to be like a general, to defend my family and defend the country and achieve my career. As soon as I had saved enough money for the road, I rode all the way over, and it was also my good luck that when the army was recruiting a man, I immediately signed up to join the army. Xi Xiaoxiao said a little dog-leggedly. Looking at the appearance of this question, General Song should be tapping on the side to dig up her information.

"Uh-huh." Song Run chuckled. "Since you want to make a career, why did you sign up for a husband?"

"General Hui, because at that time, I only recruited a husband, and it just so happened that I had apprenticeship experience to apply for a name, as long as I could become a member of the Northwest Army, I didn't care about the type of work." Whether it is resisting the enemy in the front or supporting in the rear, it is to contribute to the defense of the family and the country. When Xi Xiaoxiao said, she looked at Song Run again, and she felt that Song Run's look at her seemed to have changed.

Due to the three additional room personnel needed for the exercise, Song Rundu sent someone to do a detailed investigation, and only Xi Xiaoxiao's identity was in doubt. However, it was not the only person who attacked him that night, and it was unlikely that it was Xi Erxiao, who had been busy in the gang room mentioned in Cheng An's investigation report. These days, Xi Erxiao was in charge of his diet, and he had not seen poisoning, and he did know a lot of southern recipes.

That's a good point. In our Northwest Army, any one of us is an important force in defending the country and resisting foreign enemies. "Song Run no longer inquires about Xi Xiaoxiao's identity." The vast majority of the military are northerners, but they always eat northern food, and they will be tired, and you come from the south, and you must make the dishes of the south to make everyone change their taste. ”

"The general is assured that I will work hard." Xi Xiaofu looked into Song Run's eyes and said sincerely.

"I've been in the tent for a few days, and I haven't moved much, and I don't feel hungry. Well, you go and prepare some appetizing dishes. Song Run commanded.

"Good general."

Xi Xiaoxiao was about to quit and go out, only to hear Song Run say again, "When have we seen each other?" Before you get into camp? ”

She had to turn back again, "Back to the general, before the army marched to this place, I watched for a long time on the upper floor of the inn where I was staying, and you may have caught sight of me." ”

"Oh?" One of Song Run's "Oh" characters seemed to have a voiceover. "I see, you go out first." Xi Xiaoxiao quickly commissioned himself and followed Cheng An out.

Song Run recently encountered two things that gave him a headache, one was that he was suddenly assassinated and almost killed. He sent someone to investigate secretly for several days, but he did not find any useful clues. He didn't know who the people who wanted to kill him really were. And someone saved him that night, according to Cheng An's description of the scene at that time, the person also imitated his voice, who was the person who saved him? Second, a letter from Mu Butler, the emperor left a note for his newlywed wife who was married to him and ran away from home, saying that he wanted to go to the Great Northwest to find him, but so far no such a person has appeared. Although there are doubts about xi erxiao, there is no abnormality.

Cheng An went out with Xi Xiaoxiao, and there was nothing to do at the moment, he was going to try Xi Erxiao's grilled meat. Cheng An's previous roast meat is with a signature skewer on a large piece of meat, people take the stick and put it on the fire to roast, after grilling it directly on the mouth to eat, the second small grilled meat is different, she borrowed the Japanese teppanyaki, is directly cut the meat on the iron plate to grill. By virtue of her relationship with Hu Bulai, she asked the manager of the arsenal for a scrap iron plate, which should be left over when forging weapons, in an oblique quadrilateral shape, but the thickness is not more than 2cm, and the surface is relatively flat, the iron plate is put on the small stove of the gang room, the stove is burned under the fire, the iron plate is slowly burned red, a thin layer of oil is brushed on the iron plate, and then the meat dipped in sauce is put on the iron plate, turned over with a pair of chopsticks, baked directly into the mouth. In this way, compared with the traditional barbecue in the past, it is not so easy to burn, and it is easier to grasp the heat of the barbecue. Moreover, under the guidance of Hu Bulai, Xi Erxiao's ability to slice meat gradually grew, and her sliced meat was placed on an iron plate, and it could be eaten immediately after being grilled on both sides. This meal, Straight Cheng An ate enough.

When it was time to go back, he did not forget to wipe his mouth, and said to Xi Xiaoxiao with a satisfied face, "Second little brother, next time there is something delicious, leave me some." Xi Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed.

When Cheng An returned to the main account, Song Run was still buried in his head and read, and he raised his head to look at the oily Cheng An, "You are gluttonous in the gang room, right?" Have you forgotten your own duties? Cheng Anpingsu listened to Song Run's words the most, immediately admitted his mistake, and told Xi Xiaoxiao's novel barbecue method. Song Run listened and did not comment too much, but only instructed Cheng An to go out to patrol the camp and not to make mistakes.

Chapter Eight: Looking Down and Thinking of Hometown

After busy working in the gang room at night, Xi Xiaoxiao did not leave with everyone, she excused herself to pack up in advance and stayed in the gang room until late. The army was to withdraw from the area the next day and return to its garrison. She wanted to be alone again to enjoy this beautiful night view quietly.

Xi Xiaoxiao found a haystack in the storage area of the room, sat cross-legged next to the haystack, and leaned over the haystack. There was silence all around. The night was low, as if it could be touched by a hand, and a round of curved moon hung in the sky, sprinkling silver glow, and the sky was full of stars, flashing and flashing. In the camp, most of the soldiers were asleep, and only the soldiers on duty were holding torches, patrolling alternately, lighting fires and shining with the stars in the sky. The oasis she was in seemed to have no end in sight, quietly guarding them in the night for those who had broken into it.

"Look up at the bright moon and look down at your hometown." She was homesick. Although her father, who had been dependent on her since childhood, had passed away, the home where she and her father had lived for more than twenty years was still there, and the two-story cottage must be silent at this moment. There is also the company that Dad worked hard to create, I don't know what kind of situation it is at the moment, will it be forced to close its doors because of her sudden departure? What happened to her own body after the car accident? What about her other relatives, will she and her father leave and divide her family?

She also missed the old days, the food stall in front of her house, the old bookstore in front of the school, the way home countless times she walked, the shops and streets she visited countless times, even the orchids she planted in the courtyard of the house, the big banyan tree planted by her father. Everything she was familiar with couldn't see at the moment.

And she went to a strange world, surrounded by strange people, although these days have a master, have friends, but she does not have a person who can really open her heart to talk, maybe here she can never open her heart to talk to people, her identity as a crosser, can never be said to outsiders.

Leaning against the soft grass, Xi Xiaoxiao felt his eyes slightly moist. She quickly and stubbornly dried it, her father once said that she should be calm and self-sustaining in case of trouble, and she must not be defeated by difficulties, even if it is a big difficulty, there are ways to overcome it, and she cannot be defeated. Tonight, she could shed tears, but tomorrow, she would have to wipe away her tears and smile at them. Besides, she didn't face life and death, and there were many lovely people around her.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green in the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge of the half-scattered. Life is rare to be together, only to be separated. Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green. Ask jun when to go back, and when he comes, don't linger. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge of the half-scattered, a pot of turbid sprinkled with joy, this evening do not dream cold. She sang the song "Farewell" in a low voice, as if to say goodbye to her past life.

After singing, she continued to enjoy this beautiful and spectacular night view. Xi Xiaoxiao is a very resilient woman, with a good tutor, and a strong and courageous person who does not easily bow her head. This beautiful night view, this magical nature seemed to give her strength, and she gently hummed the song "Start Again".

"All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories. After half a lifetime of hard work, I am walking into the wind and rain again tonight. I can't go with the flow, for the sake of my beloved loved ones. No matter how hard it is, you must be strong, only for those expectant eyes. If the heart is in the dream, there is true love between heaven and earth. To see success or failure in life is heroic, but to start all over again.

All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories. After half a lifetime of hard work, I am walking into the wind and rain again tonight.

I can't go with the flow, for the sake of my beloved loved ones. No matter how hard it is, you must be strong, only for those expectant eyes.

If the heart is in the dream, there is true love between heaven and earth. To see success or failure in life is heroic, but to start all over again. It's just starting all over again. At the end of the singing, the pitch could not go up, and she couldn't help but cough several times, and she quickly covered her mouth. Looking around, fortunately there was no noise to the others, Xi Xiaoxiao quickly patted his ass, ready to climb up and go back to the tent to sleep.

Before she could stand still, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, and Xi Xiaoxiao was startled. The first reaction is whether he has met the killer again. She was just about to do something when Cheng An's voice came in her ear.

"You boy is so timid, I said you don't sleep at three in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"Seeing the deputy general of the process, Elder Brother Cheng, I have just finished the business at hand, sat down for a break, and am preparing to go back.

Xi Xiaoxiao hurriedly took a step back, removed the shoulder that was being held by Cheng An, and made a slight squeeze, speaking with a vibrato.

"I said second small, you can't have the guts, we are in the big camp, the surrounding is heavily guarded, you are still afraid that people will kill you."

Xi Xiaoxiao could only admit it: "Elder Brother Cheng, I have not been frightened since I was a child. Just another moment did not pay attention, you reached over, almost did not scare me to death on the spot. Sorry. ”

Cheng An didn't care either. Ask her what song she just hummed. Xi Xiaoxiao did not think that Cheng An heard it, and quickly apologized, which affected Cheng An's patrol camp." It is a song called "Start Again", which encourages everyone to believe that there is love in the world, do not give up hope at any time, and have the courage to fight from the beginning, I also listen to it elsewhere, and hum it casually. "I didn't hear you hum clearly, so you don't want to sing it again?" Cheng An observed Xi Xiaoxiao through the moonlight, only to see her face sincere.

"I'm afraid this is not good, it will affect everyone's rest." I just didn't pay attention for a moment. I'm sorry. "It's all right, you sing little bits, it won't affect everyone." Since you have aroused my interest, you can't prevaricate. Cheng An spoke with a hint of command.

Xi Xiaoxiao couldn't help it, and sang it again.

"This song is really good, two small, I didn't expect you to have the talent to sing, and I will have the opportunity to perform one for everyone in the future, so that everyone can enjoy it."

"Brother Cheng, please spare me, I really can't." You said that, and I don't dare to sing it again. ”

"I'm kidding you." Cheng An laughed.

"Don't delay your tour of the camp, I'll go back to sleep first." Xi Xiaoxiao just wanted to hurry up and walk away, so as not to be embarrassed again. Cheng An didn't say anything more and let Xi Xiaoxiao leave.

There was a snoring sound in the tent, one after another. Xi Xiaoxiao had been accustomed to it, but tonight she felt harsh and difficult to sleep, so she lay down so straight, thinking wildly, and sleepless all night.

What Xi Xiaoxiao didn't know was that cheng an was touring the camp with Song Run at night. After a few days in the tent, the injury gradually improved, Song Run wanted to see the camp situation, so he walked around accompanied by Cheng An. Unexpectedly, I heard a soft humming. They heard it when Xi Xiaoxiao sang the first song, but hid behind the tent and did not make a sound. In the back, Song Run let Cheng An out.

Song Run listened to Xi Xiaoxiao singing and listened to the conversation between "he" and Cheng An, and only thought that Xi Erxiao was very interesting.

Chapter Nine: The Northwest General's Mansion

The army left the oasis on the afternoon of the second day and returned to the camp where they were stationed. The garrison was located in the north of meian city, and the camp had a large training ground, and the soldiers' quarters were distributed around the camp, and they could quickly assemble at the sound of an order. The house was in a corner deep inside the camp, and the people in the house lived nearby, scattered in two chase shops. The houses where the soldiers lived here were framed with wood, the walls were covered with adobe bricks and stones, and the roof was covered with woven grass and covered with a layer of stones, probably to protect against the wind. When looking at the Chase shop, Xi Xiaoxiao was afraid, before living in a tent was fine, this would really be next to people, left and right are big men.

Just when Xi Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, Hu Bulai gave her a choice, the ingredients of the gang room were stored in a large warehouse, and a bed was placed on the left-hand side of the warehouse entrance door, which was reserved for the people guarding the warehouse, because they needed to prevent someone from stealing at night, and also to prevent rats from stealing food. The military supplies were guarded by special personnel. Xi Xiaoxiao quickly volunteered to defend the treasury. Hu Bulai saw that "he" really did not want to live in the Chase Shop, so he agreed. Xi Xiaoxiao hugged his own small baggage and moved to the warehouse very happily. She found a piece of cloth to make a small curtain, so that people who came in and out of the storeroom would not visit her small bed every day, and the clothes were folded to make a pillow, and the money was carried with her. The clothes that Song Run had worn out of the imperial palace were also neatly folded and pressed under the bed by her.

In the blink of an eye, in the camp for a month, Xi Xiaoxiao learned a lot of things with Hu Bulai, how to fry the cauldron dish out of the taste instead of pig food, how to reasonably distribute ingredients so that everyone does not feel tired of eating, how to use limited food to make everyone full. There are many doorways here, all of which are learned.

On this day, Cheng An visited the gang room and specifically came to find Xi Xiaoxiao. Let "he" pack up his things and go to the Northwest General's Mansion to serve as a private cook for the general for two months. Song Run's general's mansion originally had a big lady surnamed Du who was responsible for the three meals of the general and several guards in the palace, and the big lady accidentally fell and needed to rest and recuperate. Du Da Niang was the mother of Du San'er, song Run's former deputy general, who died of a serious injury in the line of duty, and Song Run was very sad. He heard that there was an old mother left in Du San'er's family, which was very pitiful, and the Du family lived on the outskirts of Mo'an City, so Song Runsuo sent someone to take the old man to the General's Mansion. Originally, Song Run let the old man raise his family in the General's Mansion, but Du Da Niang refused to do something, and he must help the general to do something, so he became the cook of the General's Mansion. "The food made by Du Da Niang is a little better than the pig food, and the general eats every meal, and I really admire the general." Cheng An introduced Xi Xiaoxiao as he walked, "Erxiao, the happiness of everyone in these two months depends on you, and you can finally eat better." Xi Xiaoxiao could only nod, "I will definitely try." She didn't expect Song Run, as a general, to take such good care of her subordinates and family members, and she couldn't help but be impressed.

The Northwest General's Mansion is not far from the garrison camp, a ten-minute walk away. At the entrance stands two sculptures of horses, two guards with weapons are on duty at the gate, and a large plaque on the beam of the gate reads "Northwest General's Mansion". Cheng An took Xi Xiaoxiao all the way in, and after entering the door, there was a weeping flower gate without taking a few steps, left and right was a veranda, and after walking through the weeping flower gate was a large open space, which should be used for daily exercises. Left and right of the open space is the east and west wing room, through the open space is the main room, the square and the east and west wing rooms are separated by the courtyard, the cross courtyard is on the left and right of the main room, and then there is a small courtyard, and there is a row of rear cover rooms behind the courtyard. The kitchen of the General's Mansion was located in the back cover room. Cheng An took Xi Xiaoxiao all the way through the inner courtyard of the mansion, crossed the courtyard on the left into the last hood room, told him where the kitchen was, and sent someone to clean up an empty room for Xi Xiaoxiao to live in. There was also a soldier in the house who gave the cook a hand, named Juan. "You can send Juan to buy groceries, this boy is very clever." "Two small, dinner is up to you." Xi Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng An a little and wanted to laugh, this guy, as a foodie, follows the general every day to eat bad food, it is really hard. "Do I need to go and ask the general for peace?" she asked. "The general is seeing guests, and there is no need for these ceremonies. Go and prepare dinner, and you can meet the general in the evening. Cheng An arranged for her to leave.

Xi Xiaoxiao simply cleaned up his residence and went to the kitchen, where Juan, who was working in the kitchen, was chopping firewood, and there was a basket of food on the stove, including vegetables and meat. Juan was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, about one meter and seven meters tall, with a round face, thick lips, a small braid of hair tied behind his head, and a coarse cloth dress. Seeing Xi Xiaoxiao, he greeted him very warmly, "Second Xiao, Vice Admiral Cheng said that you are from the south and will make all kinds of food, and I will have a blessing in the future." Although there is something to say, we will be the kitchen double male in the future. Ha ha. "Such a warm young man, Xi Xiaoxiao felt that it would be very pleasant to be in the back kitchen of the General's Mansion for two months." Brother Juan is good, I must try my best to make everyone eat well, I am eighteen this year, call your brother right, hehe. "Xi Xiaoxiao is also very enthusiastic." Oh, that's not okay, I'm only sixteen. "Juan talks to Xi Xiaoxiao while he is busy." Then I will call you Xiao'an in the future, and you will call me the second little brother. Xi Xiaoxiao said while observing the situation in the kitchen. Howler, second brother. I'll chop the wood I'm going to use today, and you'll see what we're going to eat for dinner today. "Does the general's dinner need to be specially prepared, or is it the same as everyone else?" Listening to Cheng An's description, Song Run's food in the house seemed to be very simple, and she didn't know if she needed special preparations.

"Our general is not very picky about food every day, but recently the general has just recovered from his injuries, so let's prepare something delicious." Du Da Niang used to stew soup for the general every day, and you can also try stew soup. Juan replied.

"Well, I'll just take the ingredients you prepare to see what to do." Xi Xiaoxiao quickly threw himself into work.

Chapter 10: Goodbye Song Run

There were not many people in the General's Mansion, Song Run jia Cheng An, six guards in charge of rotation, two people in the kitchen, it is said that Song Run's clothes were washed with the help of Du Da Niang. Xi Xiaoxiao wondered if she was going to ask Cheng An if she would also take over the laundry.

After dinner was ready, Cheng An came to get food and instructed Xi Xiaoxiao to eat with the general in the evening. Can this chef still eat with the General? Xi Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. After dividing the other people's food into plates, she followed Cheng An all the way to Song Run's main room. Cheng An seemed very happy and couldn't wait to taste the dinner prepared by Xi Xiaoxiao. There is a side hall on the left side of the main room, and when Cheng An led Xi Xiaoxiao in, Song Run was sitting on a carved wooden chair holding a book, he was wearing a black civilian dress, his hair should be simply woven and covered with a crown, and the shoes on his feet were half exposed, which was a pair of military shoes. Xi Xiaoxiao caught sight of the book he was reading called "The Old Story of Nancheng". She was a little flustered in her heart, was the book Song Run was reading about the South? She said that she was from the south, but she didn't know much about what the south here was like. What if she was asked? I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She tried to stabilize her mind.

Cheng An led Xi Xiaoxiao in and whispered to Song Run, "General, it's time for dinner." Song Run put away the book, "Okay, let's sit down together," and he moved to the table. Xi Xiaoxiao was a little nervous, Song Run did not sit, she did not dare to sit. She stood diagonally opposite Song Run, deliberately avoiding the opposite side and getting closer to Cheng An.

Song Run sat down in the main seat, and Xi Xiaoxiao dared to sit down. Cheng An, who was sitting next to him, looked at the dishes on the table and his eyes lit up, "General, when the second child comes, we can finally improve the food, heck, I'm going to drool." He said this, but did not move the chopsticks, until Song Run moved the chopsticks, Cheng An went to clip the dish closest to him. Xi Xiaoxiao was worried in his heart and silently looked at the dishes on the table.

"There is no need to be rigid in the house, there are no outsiders here." Song Run's voice sounded in his ears.

"Yes, the second child, we are all brothers in the military, the general treats people kindly, you should be your own family, don't hold on." Cheng An was also talking next to him.

"Okay, thank you General, thank you Vice Admiral Cheng." Xi Xiaoxiao looked at the two and said. Then move the chopsticks.

Song Run's eating etiquette is excellent, each kind of sandwich a little dish into the bowl, when the dish is sandwiched, the bowl takes the dish to be clipped, to avoid the juice falling on the table or other dishes, after the sandwich is carefully tasted, chewing is also very quiet. Talking is also when there is no food in the mouth. Cheng An was the complete opposite, the dishes were piled up in bowls, the mouth creaked, and the food was relished.

After eating for a while, Song Run put down the dishes and chopsticks, looking at Xi Xiaoxiao, who was eating silently, Xi Xiaoxiao was nibbling on a piece of lamb chops, which was a new dish she had learned from Hu Bulai, and the taste of her own cooking was acceptable. Feeling Song Run's gaze, she quickly put the lamb steak in the bowl and wiped her mouth with the handkerchief she was carrying.

"Can you get used to working in the room?" Song Run asked.

"General Hui, I am very accustomed, the partners in the room are very good, and Master Hu also takes good care of me." Xi Xiaoxiao stood up and replied a little nervously.

"You don't have to get up, you just sit and answer." Just make small talk. Song Run's words were in his ears, and Xi Xiaoxiao tried to calm his tension. All right, General. ”

So the two began to ask and answer. Cheng An, who was bent on eating next to him, occasionally interjected.

"When southerners first arrive in the north, it is inevitable that they are not used to it, but what are you not accustomed to?"

"General Hui, on the whole, it is customary, that is, the wind and sand in the north are large, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. Slightly uncomfortable"

"If you need to add things to the residence, you can find Cheng An."

"It's good now, thanks to the general for caring." Xi Xiaoxiao did not want to add extra items, and it was not convenient to move around. She was used to everything from Jane.

"You're in the South, do you have any brothers and sisters, are your parents still there?"

"General Hui, both of my parents have passed away, and I have no brothers or sisters."

"You traveled all the way from the south to Me'an, but what happened?" Song Run heard about Xi Xiaoxiao's horse sacrifice and expected that she should ride all the way north.

"Along the way, I saw the great rivers and mountains of our Great Xi Dynasty, the country is rich and the people are strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the business is prosperous, and they were born in this stable and prosperous world, which is really a blessing for the people of the Great Xi Dynasty." This made me more determined to follow the general to defend my family and defend the country, and I wanted to be a part of the protection of this great river and mountain. Xi Xiaoxiao felt that he was a bit of a dog leg. Song Run laughed out loud after listening to haha.

"Of course, the stability of the four sides is indispensable to the credit of our northwest army." Cheng An said with a greasy mouth.

"It is difficult for you little boy to have this patriotic and patriotic ambition to protect the country."

Song Run finished eating. Xi Xiaoxiao also cooked silently.

"Since you want to defend your country, do you have the idea of joining the cavalry?" What is your horseback riding skills? Song Run asked coldly after eating the dish for a while.

Xi Xiaoxiao was drinking soup silently, and quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and replied, "General Hui, I still want to continue to work in the gang room for the time being, I have learned a lot of things from General Manager Hu, and I can't give up easily." Horseback riding was learned from my family when I was a child, and I can ride a horse on the road, but I am not proficient in riding. Xi Xiaoxiao thought about any technology, it takes time and thought to accumulate, follow Hu Bulai, she learned a lot of things, although as a woman in the military camp has many inconveniences, but she still needs to continue to improve for the time being. And joining the cavalry, I'm afraid it's not okay, she is not good at riding, in case she is accidentally injured one day, her identity will be easily exposed.

"If so, then do as you wish." Song Run said softly.

"Second child, when we race horses one day, I also want to see your riding skills, how about we compare?" Cheng An looked at Xi Xiaoxiao happily.

"Vice Admiral Cheng don't make fun of me, my riding skills can't be on the table." Xi Xiaoxiao said.

"Oh, that's not okay, I'll take you to our horse farm one day to see, pick a batch of good horses, and ride on the prairie of the horse farm, that's called a pride." Cheng An seemed to be very excited, waving his hand as he spoke.

"Well, then please ask Vice Admiral Cheng to take the time to take me to see, I haven't seen the prairie yet." Xi Xiaoxiao has been fascinated by the feeling of "white clouds floating in the blue sky, and horses running under the white clouds", and the feeling of galloping horses, but she has not yet had the opportunity to gallop on the vast grassland.

"That's it." Cheng An finished talking and continued to fight the dishes on the table.

After a meal, Song Run didn't say anything more. He seemed to be a general who didn't talk much. When Xi Xiaoxiao was cleaning up the dishes, he suddenly asked, "General, can you borrow a few books for me to see?" ”

Song Run seemed a little surprised, "What books do you usually read?" "No limit to the type, I look very mixed." Xi Xiaoxiao replied that she suddenly felt a little abrupt.

"Please forgive the general, I see that the general is also a book lover, so I took the liberty of asking."

"Nothing, let Cheng An take you to pick it." However, there are many books of soldiers, and you can do as you please. The tone was very easy-going, and Gu Zi read the previous book. Therefore, Xi Xiaoxiao followed Cheng An to pick out two books. It is said that it is a study, but in fact, in the corner of the main hall, there is a bookshelf with three or four rows of books.

Xi Xiaoxiao took the book and prepared to take the dishes out, cheng an very righteously helped to serve it, helped her to send it back to the kitchen, where Juan was cleaning up the mess.

"Second young, the general is really rare for you, I have never eaten with the general?" Juan said enviously.

"Don't be envious, the second little is a rare chef, these two months to learn well, you can eat well in the future." Cheng An joked in the narration.

Xi Xiaoxiao could only laugh with him on the sidelines. "In the past two months, I have used all the dishes taught by Master Hu, and the two of them have come to try them, and I can't blame them for not being delicious."

The three of them joked for a while, and each went his own way.

After a simple wash after the busy, Xi Xiaoxiao leaned over the bed to read a book, and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but think about it.

According to the original plan to go north, she finally had the opportunity to face Song Run, and she should immediately reveal her identity to Song Run, ask for a letter of resignation, leave this place, and go to this heavenly and earthly otherworld. But she didn't, she seemed a little reluctant. It was because she wanted to practice her cooking skills and was not yet out of school, she comforted herself.

Chapter 11 Morning Exercise

The next day, Xi Xiaoxiao was still asleep, and a banging knock came, "Erxiao, hurry up, the morning practice is going to start?" Juan's voice came from outside the door.

"Practice early? What morning practice? Xi Xiaoxiao opened the door sleepily and rubbed his eyes while asking.

"Don't you know? The general asked the people in the palace to practice early exercises for half an hour every day. The general is already practicing his sword in the atrium, and you hurry, you are going to be late. Juan urged.

Xi Xiaoxiao had to wipe his face and rush to the atrium. She is not so early in the army, and she is a buddy, and she does not need to participate in the army's early training, only need to do about an hour of training in the morning and afternoon, she can also accept, the practice is conducive to physical fitness. But in the General's Mansion, you have to get up every day at midnight, hey.

Song Run was wearing light green civilian clothes, his hair was neatly tied to his head, holding a soft sword in his hand, he was practicing martial arts, only to see that although the others were tall, they were very agile, sometimes holding a sword to stab left, sometimes turning around and stabbing back, sometimes jumping up and charging. His forehead was sweating slightly, and he looked like he had been practicing for a while.

Cheng An was practicing with a soldier holding a sword, and the rest of the people were squating on horseback, practicing piling, and practicing spears. Xi Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do, she simply started jogging around the edge of the atrium. After running two or three laps, Cheng An stopped her, "Erxiao, what are you doing here?" "Vice Admiral Cheng, I'm running." She continued to run.

"Come and fight with me in close quarters." Cheng An beckoned her over.

"Me, I won't." She pointed to herself.

"I'll teach you." Song Run's voice. Everyone was shocked.

She didn't have to refuse. Can only get closer. Song Run collected his sword and asked her to stand across from him. "You're like me, with your hands clenched in fists raised in front of your chest and your feet standing shoulder-width apart." Song Run gave her a demonstration.

"You're not right." Song Run walked over to her and held her wrist to adjust her position. Xi Xiaoxiao's hands were slender and soft, not as thick and powerful as those of ordinary men. Song Run's heart rippled.

"Come, I throw my left fist, you throw your right fist, block it with your arm." Song Run stood opposite Xi Xiaoxiao and made a fist movement. Xi Xiaoxiao felt that his face must have turned red. She didn't dare to push too hard, and the punches that went out were soft.

"Second small, you are an embroidered fist." Cheng An coaxed on the sidelines, and the others laughed.

"Don't want to continue practicing yourself yet." Song Run said in a deep voice. Everyone continued to practice, no longer staring at Xi Xiaoxiao in embarrassment.

"Have you never practiced close combat?" Through the morning light, Song Run looked at Xi Xiaoxiao, whose face was rosy.

"I only see what others have practiced." Xi Xiaoxiao obediently replied. She had only seen it on TV before.

"Keep practicing." Song Run actually taught her how to turn people over. He grabbed Xi Xiaoxiao's right arm and pushed it back to his chest, half-bent over, and pulled violently, and Xi Xiaoxiao's body involuntarily fell to the ground beside Song Run. Song Run reached out urgently, blocked her falling body with his left arm, and pulled her up.

"The body is so unstable, strengthen the basic exercises." Song Run finished speaking, coughed softly twice, and left.

Everyone looked at each other. Cheng An instructed everyone to continue practicing until the stipulated time, and asked Xi Xiaoxiao to practice squatting.

After the morning exercise, Xi Xiaoxiao returned to the kitchen to continue making breakfast, she cooked a thick porridge and fried a large beef cake. And with Juan's help, he made a stack of sour radish strips from the kitchen's stored grain.

"Second brother, aren't you a relative of the general?" It was the first time I had seen a general so good to a man and teach you kung fu himself. Juan expressed his envy for Xi Xiaoxiao while working.

"Really? Maybe I'm too weak. Xi Xiaoxiao accidentally revealed the posture of his little daughter, and smiled a little shyly. Juan was busy with the work at hand and didn't pay attention.

Song Run's breakfast was brought by Cheng An. As a foodie, Cheng An first eliminated a flatbread in the kitchen. And the technology of Xi Xiaoxiao's pie stall was fully evaluated. "Second small, you can't do this cake yet, there is no good technique of General Manager Hu, and General Manager Hu has done it as a must." The skin of the cake is golden in color, the beef is chewy, the cake is mixed with the meat, take a bite, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Unfortunately, I haven't eaten his stall bread for a long time. He did not delay, and ate the bread three times five divided by two. Then he took Song Run's breakfast and left. Before leaving, he also turned back to Xi Xiaoxiao and instructed him, "The general ordered you to practice for half an hour in the morning, middle and evening, and strengthen your physical fitness, and he will check from time to time." Xi Xiaoxiao cried bitterly. Juan wanted to take back the general's kind words to her, laughing at the narrator, thinking that it was indeed Xi Erxiao who was too weak.

After breakfast, a little rest, Xi Xiaoxiao began the exercise ordered by Song Run, she found a vacant lot in the courtyard to do flat support, imitating the tabata movements of the previous life to practice physical fitness, the breakfast food was almost digested, and she also ran around the house several times. According to the information she asked Juan to inquire about, Song Run should have taken Cheng An to the military camp or inspected the military defense after breakfast. There were not many people in the General's Mansion, and she exercised freely. What she didn't know was that General Song did not leave the palace at this time, but sat reclined in a chair and looked at her through the window of the room for a while.

This morning, Xi Xiaoxiao followed Cheng An to the nearby trading market to purchase the food needed by the General's Mansion and to visit the ancient vegetable market for the first time. The market is orderly, and the vegetable stalls, meat stalls and snack stalls are no less than the modern market. Xi Xiaoxiao followed Juan all the way around and felt the strong breath of life.

At this time, the price of the dish was acceptable, and one or two silver was purchased for several days of food in the General's Mansion. Not knowing whether the silver left in his pocket could be used to buy a house, Xi Xiaoxiao wanted to buy a small mansion here. Probably under the influence of modern life, Xi Xiaoxiao felt that he was in another world, and if he could have his own residence, he could make himself feel at ease.

She asked Juan what the house prices were, and Juan told her that there was a hundred taels to buy a small house, a hall and a room. Two hundred taels can be bought with a small courtyard. 400 taels can buy a rich family house with a large yard and four or five rooms. With more than 900 taels of silver in hand, Xi Xiaoxiao began to plan to buy a house. She took advantage of the gap with Juan to go grocery shopping and kept an eye on the news.

For several days, Xi Xiaoxiao was under the supervision of everyone, squatting on horseback, practicing with his sword, running, and doing push-ups. Song Run would sometimes stop to give guidance, but did not have any more physical contact with her.

Chapter 12: Galloping Horses

On this day, after breakfast, Xi Xiaoxiao was still working out in the courtyard in front of his residence. Cheng An ran over and asked her to go to the horse farm together, and told her that she had applied for a holiday from Song Run in advance, and that lunch did not need to be prepared by her, and that it would be delivered by the barracks. Xi Xiaoxiao went back to her room to change her clothes, and when she was choosing the clothes to put on, she did not pay attention and put on the clothes that Song Run had brought out of the imperial palace. Wearing a dark green cotton robe she bought in The City of Me'ann, the collar of which was beautifully embroidered.

Xi Xiaoxiao, who could finally rest, felt very happy. She turned over and rode on the horse that Cheng An had brought her, and Cheng An saw that she was light and her eyes were full of approval, and she also flew onto the horse and led Xi Xiaoxiao to the northeast of Mo'an City. To the northeast of mechan, there is a vast grassland with lush pastures and meandering rivers that provide water for horses. The horse farm has 10,000 horses, which are tall, muscular, and run like a fly. Cheng An took Xi Xiaoxiao through the guard inspection of the horse storage yard and went straight to the horses. Looking at these excellent horses in front of her, Xi Xiaoxiao seemed to see a picture of the horses hanging on the wall of her living room when she was a child, and the BMW appeared vividly in front of her eyes at this moment, and it was more spectacular and more shocking. The horses ran and seemed to fly with the grass on the ground, and Xi Xiaoxiao looked at it with a sense of grandeur.

"Go, go pick a good horse." Cheng An greeted.

"Can I still try it out?" Xi Xiaoxiao originally thought he was just coming to see.

"Why not?" Cheng An took Xi Xiaoxiao on horseback to a stable. The two men's horses were handed over to the soldiers in charge of the horse farm, and Xi Xiaoxiao was taken to the stables to pick up the horses.

"General, why are you here?" At this time, Song Run was talking to the person in charge of the horse farm. The person in charge was surnamed Ma, his name was Wan'an, and he was a middle-aged man in his forties, half a head shorter than Song Run, slightly fat. The two people in conversation heard Cheng An's cry and turned around, and Cheng An quickly took Xi Xiaoxiao to meet him.

"General, this young man next to Vice Admiral Cheng is your new capable general?" I haven't seen it before. Ma Taibu looked at Cheng An and Xi Xiaoxiao and said to Song Run.

"He is a recruit who has recently entered the camp, and he is currently in the gang room, called Xi Erxiao. The second child came to see Matthew servant. Song Run also glanced at Xi Xiaoxiao, who was standing on Cheng An's left side, and at this time Xi Xiaoxiao was standing quietly, not cramped.

Hearing Song Run's words, Xi Erxiao took a step forward and bowed his head to meet him, "Xi Erxiao met Lord Ma. Ma Wan'an signaled that there was no need to pay much attention.

"You two and go pick the horse." Song Run ordered the two of them, and he continued to talk with Ma Wan'an about the supply of military horses. The two did not dare to delay the conversation between the two adults and left quickly.

Cheng An took two horses from the stables, handed the reins of one of the horses to Xi Xiaoxiao, and took the other one himself. When the two of them walked out of the stables, Cheng An jumped on the horse's back and said to Xi Xiaoxiao, who was following him, "Go, let's go to the horse farm and walk the horse for a few laps." Xi Xiaoxiao also climbed onto the horse's back. At a glance, the pasture on the horse farm is green, and you can't see where the edge of the horse farm is, and there are staggered low slopes in the horse farm.

The two men rode on horseback, galloping away from the herd, and the wind blew their clothes, as if there was a sense of pride overflowing. Cheng An's riding skills were excellent, and he ran away in no time, and Xi Xiaoxiao had to struggle to keep up. Sensing that, Cheng An rode back to her on horseback.

"Two small, how?" Not used to coming for the first time? Cheng An said with concern.

"I was blown away by this vast prairie, haha. And compared with Your Riding Skills, Brother Cheng, I'm too small for children. Xi Xiaoxiao rode on a horse and was very modest.

"Go, take you a few more laps." Cheng An rode to Xi Xiaoxiao's side and took Xi Xiaoxiao to run slowly on the grassland.

The two young men let their horses run wild, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter, flying with the wind on the grassland. The original body that Xi Xiaoxiao crossed over looked very beautiful, dressed as a man, running on a horse, and the smile on his face made Cheng An a little distracted. He quickly shook his head.

"Second child, go, compete with your brother, let your brother see your real level." After Cheng An finished speaking, he ran to Xi Xiaoxiao's side and gave her a whip for the horse under her seat. The horse was stimulated, let go of its hooves and ran. Xi Xiaoxiao did not pay attention for a moment, and almost fell down several times on the fast running horse. Kan Kan stabilized his body, and the horse stumbled as it ran over a downhill, and Xi Xiaoxiao fell off his horse. Fortunately, she had previous experience in riding, and she adjusted her posture before falling off the horse, so she did not break her head, but her feet were tingling, and she seemed to have lost her feet.

Cheng An Ben ran away, watching Xi Xiaoxiao fall off his horse, and quickly ran back, before he could get close to Xi Xiaoxiao. A person had already rushed to help Xi Xiaoxiao up, it was Song Run.

Xi Xiaoxiao was momentarily shocked, looked at Song Run, who was full of worry in front of him, and shouted, "General." ”

"Don't move around, but what hurts you?" Song Run supported her with both hands and let Xi Xiaoxiao sit well on the grass.

"My right foot seems to be a little bit broken."

On the other side, Cheng An, who flew off his horse, also quickly ran over, and was about to come to help Xi Xiaoxiao.

"You wait aside." Song Run ordered. He himself took off the shoes on Xi Xiaoxiao's feet, because the pants on his body were a little long, Xi Xiaoxiao folded the legs of the pants and tied them with a strip of cloth, and the military shoes on his feet were also a little long, so they were simply tied together. When Song Run untied the straps, the pant legs also fell down, covering the instep of Xi Xiaoxiao's feet, and she wore a pair of pure white cotton socks on her feet. Song Run looked down at her feet and the trousers on her feet, and was about to take off the socks on her feet. Xi Xiaoxiao looked at him as if rubbing the hem of her trousers.

Thinking that his feet were very petite now, they were not men's feet at first glance, and Cheng An was standing next to him, Xi Xiaoxiao hurried back and tucked his feet back into his shoes with pain.

"General, I don't dare to ask you to do it yourself, I will go back and ask the doctor to see it, it is not very painful." Should be just a slight abrasion. Saying that, he quickly stood up and patted his body.

"Second child, I'll take you back to see the doctor." You sit on my horse. Cheng An said that he was going to come over and help Xi Xiaoxiao ride on his horse. Song Run wouldn't let him. He instructed Cheng An to lead Xi Xiaoxiao's horse back to the stables, and he first took Xi Xiaoxiao to ride to the doctor.

Song Run rode on his horse, pulling the reins with one hand and reaching out to Xi Xiaoxiao with the other, "Maybe get on the horse?" "Yes." Xi Xiaoxiao handed his left hand to Song Run's hand, and his right hand grabbed the horse's back, and Song Run pulled her up with a force. Song Run's hands were very thick and powerful, and his hands were covered with calluses, because they had been trained by holding swords for many years.

Xi Xiaoxiao, who was sitting behind Song Run, was a little cramped, and she didn't know where to put her hand. "Grab my clothes and sit down." Song Run commanded, and the horse walked up. Xi Xiaoxiao grabbed Song Run's clothes in one hand and the saddle in the other. While the horse was running, Xi Xiaoxiao bumped into Song Run's back several times. His back was solid and strong, And Xi Xiaoxiao felt his heart pounding, and his face seemed to be a little hot. Fortunately, Song Run did not look back.

Chapter 13: The Healer Runsan

Song Run took Xi Xiaoxiao all the way on horseback and found a medical hall, the medical hall is called "Runan Pavilion", the sign is carved with wood and hung on the left side of the medical hall, which looks very antique from the outside. Song Run tied the horse to the tree in front of the medical center and entered the medical center with xi Xiaoxiao with one hand. A young doctor in the medical hall is sipping tea while reading a medical book. Seeing Song Run carrying Xi Xiaoxiao in, he put down the things in his hand and greeted him. "General Song, rare guest." This doctor was long in stature, his hair was simply tied behind his head with a long headband, his eyebrows were clear, and he was dressed in white, not like a healer, but like a cultivator of fairy wind dao bones. It seemed that he should be an acquaintance of Song Run. Song Run gently helped Xi Xiaoxiao to sit down on a soft stool, and he stood aside and said to the young doctor, "When he fell off the horse, he broke his foot, please Runan Brother you see." ”

"Don't you have a military doctor in your barracks, and why did you send me here?" Although the doctor said this, he still showed Xi Xiaoxiao. Song Run did not answer. He touched Xi Xiaoxiao's forehead with the back of his hand and didn't say anything.

"Take off your shoes and socks." The sound is very soft.

Xi Xiaoxiao did so. At this time, her right foot was a little swollen, the doctor's hand supported her right foot with warmth, he looked at Xi Xiaoxiao's foot, pressed lightly on the swollen place, and asked her if it hurt, "There is a point," Xi Xiaoxiao replied truthfully, and the doctor did not press hard. He looked around the swollen area again, and supported Xi Xiaoxiao's calf with one hand, and gently rotated her foot with the other hand, asking her if it would hurt, and Xi Xiaoxiao answered one by one. The doctor also rubbed her feet very gently.

"There is no broken bone, just a slight sprain, first apply some medicine, I will prescribe some medicine to bring back for external application." Swelling can be reduced in four or five days. "The doctor stood up and said to Xi Xiaoxiao, washing his hands in a basin." Thank you. Xi Xiaoxiao said to the young doctor. Come with me to the backyard. This is what the doctor said to Song Run. Song Run followed him, Xi Xiaoxiao sat on a soft stool and waited, about three minutes later, a boy of about ten years old carried a bowl of black medicine to help her medicate, used a small brush to spread the medicine evenly on her swollen feet, and then wrapped it with a white cloth.

"Thank you, little friend, what's your name?" Xi Xiaoxiao looked at this little capable little boy and asked in a voice that she thought was very friendly.

"My name is Song Qingyan, little brother, what is your name?" The little boy's childish voice answered.

"I'm, my name is Xi Erxiao." "Brother, you name it too casually." The little boy chuckled.

"Really? Listening to you say this, it seems that it is true, and your name is very poetic. ”

"Of course, my name was given to me by Runan's brother." He said proudly.

"Brother Runan, is that the doctor's name?" "Yes." "Well, your surname is Song, and you have the same surname as the general." What is the Doctor's last name? "Brother Runan's surname is also Song." The little boy answered without reservation.

"Qing Yan, how come you didn't take a few minutes to shake your information out?" The doctor's voice came from the door, and Song Run walked in with him. "Your little brother is very capable." He smiled and said to Song Run.

"Qing yan, go back to the pharmacy and continue to grind the medicine." So the little boy went out with the medicine bowl. Before going out, he also said to Xi Xiaoxiao, "Second little brother, next time I will play again." ”

"Just change the medicine the way I told you." The doctor looked at Xi Xiaoxiao and then at Song Run, and his eyebrows smiled. "After paying the consultation fee, you can go back." Song Run paid for the consultation with his silver. Xi Xiaoxiao quickly stood on one leg on the chair, with medicine on his feet, and it would be a little painful to walk.

"You might as well pick her up." The doctor laughed at Song Run.

"No, I can go on my own." Xi Xiaoxiao thought that although he was thin, he was still not a weight that could be easily lifted, and he was wearing men's clothes and would be embarrassed to be picked up by a big man. And being held in Song Run's arms, she was afraid that she would blush.

Song Run didn't say much, held out a hand, and still carried her out. When getting on the horse, let Xi Xiaoxiao stand still, he himself got on the horse first, and then reached out his hand to pull Xi Xiaoxiao onto the horse and let her sit behind him. "Sit tight." Song Run's voice came from the front, and Xi Xiaoxiao grabbed the saddle with both hands. The sound of horses' hooves clicked, and the two men headed in the direction of the General's Mansion.

"Thank you, General." Xi Xiaoxiao's voice fluttered lightly, with the shame of her little daughter. She couldn't see Song Run's expression.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, there were passers-by watching them, and Xi Xiaoxiao had to look ahead.

When they reached the gate of the General's Mansion, the two guards at the door looked at both of them with surprise on their faces. Song Run didn't seem to care, he got off the horse first, and then his right hand was only fished, so that Xi Xiaoxiao got off the horse. The advantage of height, Xi Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart.

Song Run carried Xi Xiaoxiao all the way back to her residence. During the period, Cheng An heard the movement of their return, rushed to help, and was sent to the military camp by Song Runzhi, and he asked Cheng An to supervise the training of troops. Cheng An did not dare to disobey even if he was unwilling, and he looked at them several times, and finally had to leave.

When she reached the door of the room, Xi Xiaoxiao stood, Song Run helped her open the door, Xi Xiaoxiao did not dare to let him hold it anymore, and jumped back to the bed. Her room was simple, a bed and a cupboard, and a small table that she used as a dresser.

Song Run stood at the edge of the table, put the medicine in the corner of the table, and looked at her, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling. Xi Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, raised his eyes and looked back, and thanked him, "Thank you General, I'm sorry to cause you trouble." "No problem, I'll arrange for Juan to send you lunch, and you can rest assured that you will first recuperate from your wounds, and in the next few days you will be sent by the barracks." He looked at her with bright, deep eyes and said. "Don't bother the general, I'm only slightly injured and can continue cooking." Xi Xiaoxiao hurriedly said that she did not want to be lazy. As if thinking of something, Song Run replied, "That's okay, then you write the menu, I will send someone to deal with the procurement, and let Juan take care of you in the next few days." "Okay." Xi Xiaoxiao answered.

"Your powder doctor has prepared it, mix it with a little warm water, and apply a thin layer every night before going to bed." Song Run was about to leave.

Xi Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the question he had been asking along the way but had not asked, "Dr. Song, is he an acquaintance of the general?" "He's my uncle's son." "Oh?" Xi Xiaoxiao did not answer the call again, and thousands of thoughts surged in his heart, but he did not dare to say it at this moment. Song Run looked deeply at her at the door and left.

Chapter XIV Procurement List

Xi Xiaoxiao's lunch and dinner were brought to the room by Juan, who said that it was the general's order. Xi Xiao knew that he had rested for most of the day and was leaning on the bed to read a book.

The next morning, due to injury, xi Xiaoxiao did not go to the morning exercise, Xi Xiaoxiao simply washed and went to the kitchen, she simply cooked a large pot of porridge, and fried meat shredded with radish as a seasoning. The injured foot was faintly painful, but it did not prevent her from cooking. By the time Juan came to the kitchen, she had already divided the breakfast for everyone and asked Juan to bring him Song Run's plate.

Not long after Juan left, he returned, took a pen, ink and paper, and asked Xi Xiaoxiao to write down the dishes that needed to be purchased that day, and then he took them to the general to send someone to purchase. Xi Xiaoxiao felt a little strange. There are not many people in the house, and she can dictate the dishes she wants to buy for Juan, where it needs to be written.

Juan only stood by and looked at her, asking her to write quickly, Xi Xiaoxiao had no choice, she had to write down a few dish names with a brush, Chinese Traditional she didn't know much, all by reading a few books to accumulate some words, she barely finished writing. Handed the written menu to Juan, who took it out.

When Juan arrived, Song Run was sitting at the table and eating, and Juan handed him the list of dishes written by Xi Xiaoxiao with both hands. "These days you are responsible for assisting Xi Erxiao, be careful not to aggravate his foot injuries." You go back first. Song Run commanded Juan.

After eating breakfast and changing clothes by himself, Song Run copied the purchase list written by Xi Xiaoxiao, drew a letter from his desk, and tucked these items into his arms, and he went out to the barracks.

Cheng An did not follow him these days, in the name of strengthening military defense, Song Run sent Cheng An to the garrison of the army to conduct inspections, check for leaks and fill in the gaps to strengthen the security of the garrison, and also asked Cheng An to write an inspection report and report it.

One of the generals was leading the soldiers who remained in the camp for daily training, and Song Run watched for half a day, and returned to his office after a few simple explanations. He took out from his arms the letter he had stuffed in the morning, as well as Xi Xiaoxiao's purchase list and the one he had rewritten. The guard at the door was assigned to send the purchase list to the gang room, and the goods were sent back to the general's mansion after the purchase was made in the gang room. He sat down at the table and opened the letter.

The letter was sent from his mansion in the imperial city, and it had been received for more than a month, and the housekeeper told him that the new wife had run away from home, leaving only a note saying that he wanted to go to the northwest to find the general, and the housekeeper sent someone to look for a circle without success, I don't know how to be good, please ask the general for instructions. Attached to the letter was the note that Xi Xiaoxiao had originally left.

Song Run originally wrote back, instructing the housekeeper not to make a quiet statement about this matter, and said to outsiders that his wife was in the palace. He would send someone to look for it.

He put the purchase list and note written by Xi Xiaoxiao together and compared it, and the words on the two pieces of paper were clearly from the hands of one person. After watching it many times, he couldn't help but smile involuntarily, and then fell silent again. He did not understand why the young lady did not look for him after going to the northwest, but instead entered the barracks in a different capacity. Now, he still needs to think about how to deal with the aftermath, women are not allowed to enter the camp, let alone his wife, if others know the true identity of Xi Erxiao, the consequences are unimaginable. He needs to plan carefully.

The purchase items needed in the general's mansion were sent by Chen Dabao, who entered the mansion, met the injured Xi Xiaoxiao, and comforted him. The two found a place to sit across the courtyard and chatted. Chen Dabao did not expect that there was also a chef in the barracks, and he had recently been pestering Hu Bulai to worship the teacher.

"Second Xiao, you said that your luck is so good, Director Hu will accept you as an apprentice, I have been here for several days, he just won't accept me." ay. Chen Dabao sighed.

"Big Brother, be discouraged, Director Hu is a good person, you show more in front of him, he will definitely see your good." Maybe one day I'll agree. "Xi Xiaoxiao cheered him up." We both followed Master Hu to learn the craft well, and after leaving the army, we also had the technology of eating, and we were not afraid of starvation. ”

"Your boy has only been in the camp for a few days, and he is thinking about leaving the camp, and the supervisor knows about it, and he is afraid that he will expel your apprentice." Chen Dabao laughed.

"I didn't want to leave the camp, I just wanted to have the skills to lean over, and I wasn't afraid to go all over the world." Xi Xiaoxiao quickly hit haha.

"By the way, is this a purchase order you wrote?" Chen Dabao took out a note from his arms and handed it to Xi Xiaoxiao, "The writing is not bad. ”

The purchase list in Xi Xiaoxiao's hand, the words written with a brush, the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the writing is excellent, which is definitely not her handwriting. She thinks she writes brush words like dogs crawling.

"Where did this come from?" She asked Chen Dabao.

"It was sent by the general's bodyguards, who asked them to be purchased and sent back to the house." Chen Dabao answered truthfully. "Could it be that the general wrote it?"

"It should be." Xi Xiaoxiao was not sure. She put the note away. "Big Brother, I have this list."

Anyway, the procurement has ended, and Chen Dabao has no objection. The two talked again, and Chen Dabao resigned and returned to the camp.

In the following days, Xi Xiaoxiao was a little nervous, and she felt that Song Run must have sensed something. But during her recuperation, she was active in the room and kitchen, and Song Run's meals were served by people, and she did not see Song Run.

Chapter Fifteen: Follow the General on a Tour of the Camp

On this day, Xi Xiaoxiao got up early, and she was going to participate in the morning exercise. Her foot injury had healed and she was back to bouncing around alive. When he came to the atrium, Song Run was already there, a long gun in his hand, and he was dancing vigorously. Xi Xiaoxiao got up in the morning, combed her hair smoothly, braided a few braids and tied them to her head, wearing a set of red clothes, the wide mouth of her hands and feet were tied tightly with straps, and the cloth shoes on her feet were also, and she was ready to continue her running and squatting. Before the others came, Song Run stopped and looked at her. Xi Xiaoxiao used a long cloth to circle her chest twice, and she was flat-chested, looking flat on her chest. She felt Song Run's eyes only glance at her face and chest for a moment before moving away.

"Second child, you don't have to participate in the collective morning practice, you can practice in front of your room." Song Run commanded. "Go back now."

Xi Xiaoxiao had to turn back.

After breakfast was ready, Juan finished Song Run's meal and ran back to inform Xi Xiaoxiao that the general asked her to go with her in the morning to tour the camp. Xi Xiaoxiao was a little confused, she was a guy.

"The general ordered, put on the uniform of the army." Juan said. "It's strange how the general could take you on a tour of the camp."

"I'm weird too." Xi Xiaoxiao answered truthfully.

By the time Xi Xiaoxiao was dressed and felt that Song Run was in the main hall, he was already fully armed and was reading a document. This is really a hard-working person, Xi Xiaoxiao thought to himself, as if he didn't need to rest.

"General." Xi Erxiao marched at the door. Song Run looked up at her. Immediately put away the documents and walked out. Xi Xiaoxiao's current height should be around 1 meter 6, and Song Run is a head taller than her, standing next to her, forming a sharp height contrast with her.

"Let's go." Song Run took a step forward, and Xi Xiaoxiao followed behind him step by step. She wanted to ask where she was going, but she didn't say anything and just followed.

There were already two horses at the door, Song Run led one, Xi Xiaoxiao led the other, and when she saw Song Run turn over on the horse, she also climbed on the horse's back. The two rode all the way to the north gate. Song Run ordered a guard at the door to lead the horse away and take Xi Xiaoxiao up the stone steps. Song Run was in front, his steps were calm, making Xi Xiaoxiao think of the neat and powerful steps of the flag-raising soldiers he saw in Tiananmen Square in his previous life, and he originally lamented that these national guards were really handsome. Now she also silently admired Song Run's handsomeness behind Song Run.

The general who was defending the city saw Song Run walk up the stone steps and greeted him. Song Run strode to the city tower and said a few words of greeting. "What can happen in the near future?" The other party replied no. Xi Xiaoxiao had heard Cheng An mention that Song Run's previous injuries in the army drill had not been publicized, except for some people in the drill, the rest of the people did not know.

"I look around, you don't have to follow." After saying that, I walked to the platform of the city tower. Xi Xiaoxiao gave a salute to the general just now and followed.

The walls of Meian City are more than ten meters high and the width is more than 6 meters by visual inspection, and the two people walk and stop along the city wall. Looking from the castle tower to the outside of the city, there are mountains stretching in the distance, and there is a long road from the side of the mountain to the city wall, because it is the main road between the city of Meian and the countries in the north, and there are caravans and horses on the road. Looking from the road to both sides, there are deserts and oases crisscrossing each other. Looking at the city from the city wall, there are houses and roads scattered, and the people on the road can see the prosperity of Meian City.

"How do you feel when you look at the scene inside and outside the city?" Song Run, dressed in a military uniform, asked Xi Xiaoxiao, who was very devoted to the look next to him.

"There is a sense of looking at the world and nostalgic for the past and the present. The Northwest Army has guarded the city of Meian very well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the trade between countries can be smooth, which is very remarkable. "Xi Xiaoxiao speaks with pride." Of course, this is also inseparable from the merits of your command, the general. ”

"No compliments, I just did my part." Song Run looked at the world outside the city walls.

He continued to walk forward with Xi Xiaoxiao. At a watchtower, Song Run stopped and looked at her, "Take a good look at it today, and you will have a rare opportunity in the future." "Xi Xiaoxiao is a little unclear so.

"Is something happening?"

"Nothing." His words kind of confused Xi Xiaoxiao.

Looking around the high city wall, Song Run took her back, after finding the two men's horses, Song Run took the lead in getting on the horse, Xi Xiaoxiao followed behind, the two rode all the way to the vicinity of the horse storage farm, and rode several miles along the fence of the horse storage farm, a post station appeared in front of them, and the station was also escorted by the northwest army. The station was very lively, there was a noisy voice, and they did not enter the station directly, but walked to a high place in the station. There was a high observation deck there, and the guards saw Song Run and immediately saluted. Song Run instructed the soldiers to continue their duty.

Xi Xiaoxiao climbed up after Song Run. Song Run's physical strength is excellent, because of the relationship of perennial insistence on exercise, climbing the ladder seems to be flat. Xi Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was panting. Ascending to the lookout, she followed Song Run's gaze into the distance. On the left is a wide pasture, so that you can feel the magnificent scene of "the sky is clear, the wild is vast, and the wind blows grass and the cows and sheep are low". The sparkling water on the right seems to be a pearl in the grassland. Looking at the high observation deck, you can't see the edge of the lake on the right.

"This lake is so beautiful." Xi Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Song Run and asked, "General, what is the name of this lake?" ”

"Quiet Lake." Song Run was right next to her, the sides of their clothes were almost wiped, Xi Xiaoxiao saw the beautiful scenery fascinated, did not pay attention, is she herself unconsciously approached Song Run, or Song Run approached her.

"It must be very pleasant to go for a ride on a horse and run around the lake." Afraid that her nervousness would be seen, she quickly turned her head in the direction of the lake.

"Although this lake is called Jinghu Lake, it is not calm, the northern part of the lake is controlled by the nomadic tribe Ofan, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xi, the horse farm and the whole Lake of Tranquility were within the control of Ma Dan, and it took me a great price to obtain this vast meadow and control of the large area of Jinghu Lake. There are many soldiers who have given their blood and lives for it. Song Run's voice suddenly contained compassion.

"I hope that Daxi can keep peace forever." It is hoped that the people of the Great Xi Dynasty will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Xi Xiaoxiao also said movingly.

"I hope so, so the soldiers of the Northwest Army dare not relax." Defending the family and defending the country, the responsibility is like a mountain. His voice seemed to spread from the air, drifting far, far away. The earth responds with calm.

"Can you swim?" Song Run suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes, but not very well skilled." Xi Xiaoxiao answered.

"Yes." He seemed to want to emphasize something.

On this day, Song Run and Xi Xiaoxiao almost circled around Meian City, the two of them or chatted a few words, more often to check the defense of the soldiers, ask whether there were any abnormalities in the near future. Xi Xiaoxiao vaguely felt as if something Song Run hadn't said, but something was happening.

The two returned home in the late afternoon.
