rebirth will be hard to find

Cheng Zian's rare agitation recently was noticed not only by the soldiers around him, but also by the lieutenants who were a little further away.

It was rare that there was no fighting on this day, and Cheng Zian was not interested in going to the school grounds to watch his soldiers train, so he just read military books in the tent.In the end, of course, she couldn't read it. She held up the military book and stared straight at the page, but a quarter of an hour passed, but she didn't even turn the page.

After half an hour passed, Cheng Zian finally sighed and put down the book in his hand, not to do this useless work.

Putting away the book of war, Cheng Zian thought for a while, and then took out a brocade box from a corner of the tent.

The box is not too small, with a lock on it, and it has been stored properly.Cheng Zian took out a key from his closet, opened the brass lock and the lid of the box, revealing the contents inside.

It was a letter after letter, each one was very thick, and each one was carefully put away.

Cheng Zian took out the letters that were sent in the past two months and read them again, his pretty brows could not help but frown again.As usual, the letter mostly contains trivial things, and occasionally there are words of thoughts.There's nothing different, and there's never been any subtle hints...everything is normal, but why has the correspondence been cut off in the past month alone? !

Yes, Cheng Zian hasn't received a letter from Chu Yi for nearly a month. According to the usual frequency, Chu Yi would have sent at least two letters in the past month.This is very abnormal, and what is even more abnormal is that Cheng Zian couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to follow the official document to Beijing to reply to a letter, but he has not responded yet.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand her anxiety, but she has nowhere to tell about this kind of thing.

After reading the letter back and forth several times, Cheng Zian felt a little disappointed.In fact, she couldn't sit still anymore, and all her heart drifted back to Chujing. However, now that there are frequent border wars and General Lu intends to retire, so that the hearts of the soldiers are fluctuating, and it is really not a good time to leave.

Sitting blankly for a while, Cheng Zian carefully put away the letter he had taken out, locked it carefully, and hid it carefully.In the end, I straightened my clothes and planned to go to the main tent.

The memorial of Lu Heng's retirement has already been sent up, but of course this kind of thing can't be done overnight.Not to mention how important Lu Heng's current position is, even if it is the most common position, as long as there are practical things to do, handover is inevitable, and resignation is not just a memorandum and a reply.It will take at least half a year before the post of Commander-in-Chief of Xinzhou Daying is to be handed over. The reason why Lu Heng said it in advance is because he has not yet found a successor, and he wants to take advantage of the recent frequent wars to make everyone work harder. Let him choose again.

It's a pity that Cheng Zian is still the one who stands out the most, and Cheng Zian's status means that she can't stay at the border forever.

Cheng Zian's appearance was not surprising to Lu Heng at all, and he knew why she came, so before Cheng Zian could speak, he said, "There is an official document from Beijing today." When she showed joy, Lu Heng continued: "It's the same as the previous few times, there is no letter."

The light in those warm brown eyes dimmed again in an instant, and Cheng Zian sank down as he watched.

Lu Heng has seen such changes more than once, but he still couldn't help being annoyed—Cheng Zian couldn't take over his position to guard Xinzhou. Apart from her identity, she also had no intention of taking over. The son of the Cheng family doesn't want to make contributions to revive the family, but indulges in love, he is angry for the old general!But the one who indulges in love is the emperor, so Lu Heng can't say anything, at least not clearly.

Out of sight and out of mind, Lu Heng couldn't see Cheng Zian's depressed look, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, there are so many things in the army, don't waste time here with me, go back."

Cheng Zian pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "General Lu, has something happened in Beijing recently?"

Didn't Lu Heng know what she was thinking, and even though he was annoyed, he still replied: "No. Your Majesty is considered to be diligent in politics, and the past two years have been smooth and smooth. There is a phenomenon of Haiyan and Heqing in the country, and I have not heard of any changes in political affairs. As for private matters, that is beyond my knowledge."

Cheng Zian still couldn't figure out where the joints were, but she felt a little relieved after receiving Lu Heng's words.Thank you respectfully, and then leave with a heart full of thoughts.

As soon as he left the main account, Cheng Zian bumped into several lieutenants and generals under his command.She only thought that something happened, so she restrained her thoughts and hurried forward and asked: "But something happened in the army?"

The deputy general surnamed Sun quickly smiled and said: "No, don't worry, general, everything in the army is fine."

Cheng Zian was relieved, and then asked strangely: "Then what are you doing together?" After he paused, he looked at the main tent behind him and said, "Could it be that you are here to look for General Lu, not Looking for me?"

The lieutenants and generals immediately became nervous when they heard the words, and quickly shook their heads in denial.There are also ranks in the army. Cheng Zian is their chief general. If something happens, they should report back to her. If they bypass her and go directly to General Lu, that is overstepping. From the eyes of others, they are dissatisfied with the chief general.

Another general surnamed Zhou explained: "I didn't come to look for General Lu, but I came here to look for you, General. It's just that it's not an official business. It's rare that there is no war today. After counting the days, it happens to be Hugh Mu, so I thought Invite the general to go to Linyang together."

There is also rest and bathing in the army. Soldiers practice on a daily basis, and during wartime, there is less time for rest and bathing. However, generals, like officials in the court and central government, have one day of rest and bathing every ten days.If there is a war, the rest will naturally be gone. Normally, if there is no war, it will be very loose. If you want to rest in the camp this day, you can take a good rest. If you want to go to Linyang, which is not far away, you can go there.

Cheng Zian would occasionally go to Linyang for a stroll. After all, she came from a family, so she was somewhat particular about food and clothing.If she had to, she would naturally be able to endure it, but when conditions permit, she is still willing to make her life more comfortable, so in the past two years, she has successively bought some things in Linyang and brought them back to the tent for use.

But today, he was full of preoccupations, and Cheng Zian was obviously not in that mood.

Seeing that Cheng Zian frowned slightly as if he was about to refuse, Vice General Sun hurriedly said again: "General, you don't seem very happy these days, I just wanted to invite you for a visit, so it's good to relax. It just so happens that Zhou Li's home is in Linyang. Be a guest."

Everyone looked sincere, which made it difficult for Cheng Zian to refuse.Just this moment of hesitation, everyone rushed forward, half pushing and half pulling her towards the camp gate - there was no battle today, Cheng Zian was not wearing any armor, so it would not be surprising to appear in Linyang in military uniform.

Good intentions are always hard to come by, and there are so many upright people in the army, Cheng Zian had no choice but to follow along halfway.

After leaving the gate of the camp, there was already someone waiting outside with a horse.Not to mention, there was a girl in a big red dress looking up at the side, and when she saw the group of them coming out, she waved her hands happily.

The girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, her skin is not as flamboyant as those girls from aristocratic families in Beijing, but she is also rare and fair in this windy and sandy border.What's even more rare is that she is full of vigor, and she has a heroic spirit that is rare for girls from aristocratic families, which makes her look unique.

The sergeant on duty at the camp gate couldn't help but look at her, and the group of people who came out were also very happy to see her.

Cheng Zian had never seen her before, but he didn't ask any more questions. General Zhou Li laughed, and introduced by the way: "This is my little sister. Hearing that I'm taking a rest today, she came here to find me."

Vice General Sun said before that Zhou Li's family is in Linyang, so it's not surprising.

Cheng Zian then asked, "But what's wrong with your family?"

Zhou Li waved his hands indifferently and said, "What's the matter, it's just that my little sister likes to play around and wants to play with us."

The folk customs of Chu State can be regarded as open, especially in border areas. It is nothing for a woman to show her face and swim with men, not to mention that she has her brother by her side, and no one will talk about it.Cheng Zian didn't take it to heart.

When they left the camp gate, Zhou Xiaomei came up to him with a smile on her face. She first called out "Big Brother" to Zhou Li, and then called out to other people, obviously they were familiar with each other.He just froze when he called Cheng Zian.

Zhou Li then introduced: "Little sister, this is my general."

Zhou Xiaomei's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she heard the words, and she was not polite, and called out directly: "Brother Cheng."

Zhou Li didn't say his last name, but Zhou Xiaomei called it out, obviously he mentioned it before.

Although Cheng Zian has a cold face all the year round, but after getting along for a long time, most of them know that she has a good temper.Sure enough, she didn't mind Zhou Xiaomei's somewhat overreaching address, so she just nodded slightly, which was considered a response.

Zhou Xiaomei sneaked a few glances at Cheng Zian, seeing that she was good-looking and good-natured, her eyes were brighter than usual.

Zhou Li didn't know if he noticed it, so he said: "Let's go, it's still early, and we can go to Linyang for a walk, so we can go to my house for lunch." Have you said that?"

Zhou Xiaomei came back to her senses and gave Zhou Li a blank look: "Naturally, which time did I delay the business?"

Zhou Li laughed, and turned his head to say hello: "Don't delay, let's go."

Not far away, the horse slaves who were waiting with their horses heard the words and brought their horses forward, and everyone also went up to meet them. Within a few steps, Zhou Xiaomei somehow got close to Cheng Zian.She secretly looked at Cheng Zian's profile, and felt that there was no better-looking person in Xinzhou than her, and this good-looking person was also very capable, and made great military achievements at a young age, and her elder brother often mentioned it when he was at home.

The girl's heart moved slightly, and she was about to speak, when suddenly she heard a loud shout from a distance: "Cheng Zian!"

Cheng Zian raised his head suddenly, almost thinking that it was his own auditory hallucination, but seeing the appearance of everyone around him looking for the sound, he knew that she was not the only one who heard the cry.As a result, his dull eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked for his reputation, he saw a group of people hurrying towards him.

With just one glance, she recognized the leader, so her handsome face couldn't hold back any longer, she raised a big smile, and ran over without thinking.

It was the first time for everyone behind her to see her lose her composure, and some people couldn't help murmuring while being dumbfounded: "General, what's wrong?"

Someone quickly gave the answer: "Is this the little daughter-in-law from the capital chasing after me?!"

The author has something to say: Chu Yi (angry): I didn't notice it at a glance, and I was hooking up with girls!

Cheng Zian (tears): The eternal injustice! ! !

PS: Do you always think it can end like this?
