????????????????????? The only place that is spirited is probably the military camp.
Young men in their teens and twenties were wearing thin jackets, waving their fists, rowing spears, and shouting slogans in the biting cold wind, as if they wanted to compete with the cold weather.
Among them, a tall, muscular boy stood out among the crowd.
He stood at the front. He didn¡¯t look very old, and his face was still a little childish, but his height and muscles were no less than those of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy next to him.
¡° Moreover, he seemed to have a very extraordinary status. Not only did he not mix in the crowd to exercise, but he was holding a spear and demonstrating something in a decent manner.
Until a little man hurried over and shouted, "Little General Gu, Little General Gu."
The boy stopped, put on his cotton-padded jacket, wiped his sweat and walked over, "Xiao Zhou, what's going on?"
"Little General Gu, there is a letter from the capital. It seems to be a letter from you." The little man smiled and asked, "Is the little general's mother-in-law sending you delicious food again?"
As he spoke, he let out the saliva that was about to fall from the corner of his mouth.
There is little food in the military camp, and delicious food is even rarer, especially in this cold winter. The soldiers in the military camp only eat dried buns every day. Occasionally, they order less mutton soup to soak the buns, and there is more mutton fat than mutton. It smells more of mutton than meat.
Fortunately, they also have General Gu. I heard that he has a mother who is a county princess. She is beautiful and has good hands. She often sends dried meat, meat sauce, and vegetable sauce to General Gu.
It is strange to say that such ordinary ingredients, once prepared by the princess, are immediately delicious and make people want to swallow their tongues.
At first, General Gu was a solitary eater, but later he was discovered and reluctantly gave some away.
Later, everyone began to take the initiative to please General Gu in exchange for some delicious food from General Gu. Although it did not succeed every time, as long as it succeeded once in ten times, it would be enough for the soldiers to cheer. .
For example, letters from home often arrive in the military camp, but it usually takes ten days and a half for ordinary people to receive letters from home. However, Gu Xiaolou¡¯s letters from home arrive almost on the same day, and someone delivers them on the same day.
Because everyone knows that if you come with a letter from home, there must be something delicious.
"Little general, what did the princess say?" Xiao Zhou looked at Gu Lou and ignored him. He stretched his head and shook his head. "When I was getting the letter from home, I saw several jars following behind. Da Zhou was carrying them. The young general¡¯s tent is inside, and I don¡¯t know what¡¯s in it, but it¡¯s pretty tightly covered.¡±
Normally, Gu Lou would have passed away with a smile.
But this time, he frowned, said nothing, and had a solemn look in his eyes.
Xiao Zhou finally realized that something was wrong and said nervously, "Little general, what's wrong? But what happened?"
A few months ago, the capital was shaken. The mighty general trekked back to the capital with half of his army, but he frightened these young soldiers, thinking that a war was about to begin.
Although the danger was later averted, and the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, the soldiers in the military camp still remembered the unspeakable sense of panic.
Peaceful days are so rare. On the border, wars are fought and blood is shed.
The head that is still on the neck today may fall to the ground tomorrow.
Life is short and impermanent. When Xiao Zhou was only a teenager, he already understood how to cherish the present and be cautious about the future.
"It's okay." Gu Lou put away the family letter and his expression returned to his joking expression, "Xiao Zhou wants to eat good food again. Let's check the quantity this time. If it's more, I'll share it with you. If it's less, you can't snatch it from me. II haven¡¯t eaten enough of what I made. "
"Okay, okay, I won't snatch it from you." Xiao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and regained his smile. "I still have a few letters from home in my hand. I will send them to them first. The young general is waiting for me in the camp."
Gu Lou nodded slightly and watched him leave.
It wasn¡¯t until Xiao Zhou¡¯s figure disappeared completely that he put away his smile, his eyes filled with condensation.
The contents of the envelope are actually very simple.
This is a letter written by Ji Yunshu. He told his fat son to use his position to check whether Dayuan had any recent contact with the Zhao family.
How come Dayuan and the Zhao family are connected?
If this had happened before, when Gu Lou could only chew chicken legs, he would have been confused and confused.
But now, after living in the military camp for more than a year, Xiao Gulou has already changed his mind and started to think about things with his brain.
First of all, this incident must be related to the massacre of villages some time ago during the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Gu Lou had doubts at that time. Why did Dayuan become so angry that he wanted to antagonize Dayu? Or is it simply a group of rogue bandits acting willfully?
¡°I had no clue at the time, so I just made blind guesses for a while and then gave up.
Now Yu Feicheng has used reverse speculation techniques to directly investigate whether the Zhao family has been in and out of Dayuan. If the evidence shows that there is a connection between them, then the strange movements of Dayuan before can be explained.
Of course, the border becomes more and more dangerous.
Dayuan¡¯s movements don¡¯t seem to be giving up. The Zhao family has Zhao Heng, who is bottomless, and Yu Feisheng, who is justifiable.
Everything is so consistent.
Perhaps, the frontier will soon become unstable.
Gu Xiaolou put down his family letter, glanced in the direction of Dayuan, sighed softly, and walked towards the tent.
The letter from home is divided into two letters.
"The first seal is that Ji Yunshu solemnly explained the important national affairs, and also asked Gu Xiaolou not to disclose it, and to patrol carefully to avoid alerting the enemy.
The bottom cover is Qiao Lianlian's nagging, telling him that her pregnancy belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Xiao Ge'er and Xiao Que'er have had some conflicts, and they haven't spoken much in the past two days.
??Also, she recently pickled some peppers and cucumbers and made soy sauce beef, and sent him two jars.
?????? Sauced beef, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve had meat cooked by my mother.
Gu Xiaolou walked faster and faster. The upper Feng family letter was torn up, folded and thrown into the stinky ditch. The lower Feng family letter was solemnly kicked into his arms and quickly got into the tent.
Then, he smelled the rich aroma of soy sauce beef.
In the young general¡¯s exclusive camp, a figure squatted in front of Gu Xiaolou¡¯s jar, holding a piece of beef in one hand and chewing it as if no one else was watching. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
