Chapter 99 Letters from home, love letters?

Xie Yuan moved the small table and moved the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it back to his tent. He also picked up the oil lamp on the ground and placed it on the desk. He sat down, lit the oil lamp, and began to look at the letter in a daze.

She is now a corps commander and also has the job of instructing archers, so she applied to the guard commander directly under her to use a separate tent. Although the guard commander didn't look very good, he finally agreed.

She picked up the pen from the desk, pursed her lips and looked at the letter for a long time. Then she stretched out her left hand and rubbed her sore wrist. After rubbing it, she sighed and threw it down.

She wanted to write a letter to her family, but she was afraid that the Xie family would follow the source of the letter and find her. She simply didn't have the confidence to convince her parents to let her work hard in the military camp.

Besides, once they came to her and revealed her identity, she would have no chance to continue.

Xie Yuan thought of this and touched his forehead in distress... But if he hadn't written it, his family would have been very anxious. Maybe they are still looking for her now. My mother's health is not very good, and she has not been in good health these days since she came out.

I know how she is doing...

Xie Yuan was so troubled that he picked up his pen and scrawled a line of words on the page: "Parents are here, please kowtow, child."

Then he paused there...

"Dismiss the captain!" Lao Fang shouted, raising the curtain and running in. Xie Yuan put down his pen, crumpled the letter paper into a ball, and held it in his hand.

When Lao Fang saw her reaction, he froze at the door of the tent. Then he came over excitedly and asked curiously:

"What? You also write a love letter to the little lady you like?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, he raised his head in surprise and saw Lao Fang smiling with his face full of wrinkles and his eyes almost gone as he looked at her holding the paper dumplings in her hands.

Xie Yuan was speechless and said angrily: "Why should I write a love letter? I am writing a letter home!"

Today, a lot of people asked her to write letters to the girl she was in love with, saying things like "I miss you, I will marry you when I get back, don't forget me," etc. She also wrote a lot.

While she was writing, she was surrounded by people cheering her. She didn't know what was so happy about it, so she just kept writing seriously.

"I don't believe it. If it's a letter from home and not a love letter... why are you covering it so secretly?! Tell Uncle Fang, which one do you like? Is it pretty?"

He said with a solemn expression and said worriedly:

"You can't like those women in the red tent. They are not good, you know? They are used to coaxing young people like you who have never seen the world to be happy, but they can't be taken seriously..."

Xie Yuan had a headache. He raised his cheek and turned his head to ignore him, thinking: Haha... I don't like women. I get angry when I see those delicate and weak women who try to please men when they see them.

But her appearance seemed to be an acquiescence in Lao Fang's eyes.

So Lao Fang became even more anxious, pulled her arm, asked her to look at him, and said:

"Hey, baby... I heard that there is a girl in the red tent who is asking about you everywhere. Isn't she her?"

Xie Yuan was speechless and said: "Where did you think you were?... It's really not Uncle Fang! What do you want from me?"

Only then did Lao Fang remember that there was something wrong with him coming in such a hurry, and he quickly said:

"Oh, yes! I forgot about serious matters. Didn't the God of Wealth and I go to get winter clothes for our team today? We chatted with the commander of the battalion for a while. I asked you about some things about General Shen in Chongqing.

Come."

When Xie Yuan heard this, his annoyance disappeared, he quickly sat up straight and looked at Lao Fang expectantly.

Lao Fang smiled and said:

"...Our battalion is fighting against General Shen's flag, you know that, right?"

Xie Yuan raised his powerful eyes and said, "How could I not know this? When we first entered the city, the cavalry carried the big flag, so didn't they just pass by?"

Lao Fang was originally squatting next to the desk, but now he shook his body, sat down cross-legged, stroked his goatee, and said excitedly:

"What you don't know is that the captain of our battalion is the brother of General Shen Qingzhi, also named Shen. They are relatives! If you tell the name of your master, he will not be able to take care of you? Is that so? That’s a good thing!”

Xie Yuan's originally calm and listening expression showed cracks. Her eyes flickered and she said:

"Uncle Fang, to tell you the truth, my family would not agree with me joining the army. If my master knew about it, he would definitely send me home, so I can't say anything."

Lao Fang had heard Xie Yuan say this a long time ago, so he asked: "Since you accepted General Shen as your disciple, weren't you planning to take this path? Logically speaking, your family should have made plans for it long ago, and let General Shen guide him. You, it’s only right to take you with me, how could you disagree?”

Xie Yuan tightened his mouth and said nothing.

Lao Fang began to think by himself, and after a while he said excitedly: "...I know! It must be because you are arrogant and want to start from the top of the army, but your parents don't agree, right?"

Xie Yuan thought to himself that she was not really that high-spirited. If she was a tomboy, her family would be willing to pave the way for her. She could directly follow her master and lead troops to fight, so why not?

Why bother to run out alone like this, starving and living in trivial matters, like a blindfolded man, going wherever the superiors tell him to go, attacking when told to attack, and not knowing anything else, he is just working hard. .

What's so good about this?

It's a pity that she is a girl, and no one will pave the way for her. On the contrary, if she wants to be a general, she has to work hard bit by bit, prove herself with obvious strength, and let others accept her.

When Lao Fang saw Xie Yuan lowering his head slightly, pursed his lips stubbornly and still not speaking, he said "ouch" in disapproval and said:

"What are you doing...you idiot, why don't you take a shortcut if there is one?"

Xie Yuan asked him: "What else? About my master Shen Qingzhi? How is his injury going? Is it serious?"

Lao Fang replied:

"Hey... You know where the soldiers are going for such a trivial matter. But what are they talking about... Oh, yes. Speaking of which, this time, General Shen's captain rebelled in front of the enemy's formation and not only harmed him. , the imperial court suffered a huge defeat and lost several cities.

Originally, the imperial court was planning to convict General Shen! If the Shen family hadn't had some foundation, there were several military figures in the family, they had accumulated some contacts, and found people who could speak to him, and went to the emperor to intercede on his behalf. Maybe the person would have been beheaded by now."

Lao Fang sighed and said: "The captain of this battalion is a brother of General Shen. He said that after General Shen was injured, he made some achievements in suppressing the rebellion, so he saved them all for his brothers. I will submit a petition to the emperor. The merits are redeemed by the crime. No, the wind that came over yesterday said that General Shen’s official position has been kept, and he can continue to lead the troops after he recovers from his injuries, thus redeeming the merits.”

Xie Yuan was frightened when he heard this, but finally he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, fortunately..." Then he asked: "What else did you find out?"
