Chapter 635 Anonymous Letter
In October of the ninth year of Yuanheng, Fourteen led an army of 40 in Longyou Road to counterattack.

At this time, the troops led by Xiao Yan, Lan Ze and Qi Lecheng had reached a hundred miles north of the border and captured the seven cities of Tule.Xie Sheng and Xiao Ruming on the southern battlefield have also overcome the initial difficulties and successfully joined forces with the army of Jiannan Road.

……

There are many mountainous plateaus in Chimian, and the area of ​​cultivated land is far less than that of the Dali Dynasty, which has a large area of ​​plains.Potatoes were introduced a few years ago, and because of their low requirements for the growing environment, they were immediately loved by the local people and quickly became popular throughout Chimian.

After entering the red-faced country, due to the high mountains and long roads, the food transportation was not smooth, so the army had to modify the recipe according to local conditions.The diet structure of the soldiers has undergone considerable changes. The proportion of staple foods such as wheat and rice has dropped significantly, and the proportion of potatoes has continued to increase.

After the three armies joined forces, they were temporarily stationed in a small town with no name.

In the evening, Xie Sheng and Xiao Ruming sat in front of the fire, waiting for the potatoes to be cooked.

"It's too fucking cold here." Xie Sheng broke a wooden stick at the knee and threw it into the fire, wrapping him up like a bear, "It's only October, and his ears are going to freeze off. "

No wonder these southern barbarians always think about the benefits of being in the Dali calendar. It's not as comfortable as Henan Road to live here.There is nothing to eat, nothing to wear, and no ears of wheat to grow. Compared with Henan Province, it is a sky and a ground.

Xie Sheng only wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible.

"You don't know, these days I've been dreaming about the delicious food I ate in Henan Road before." Xie Sheng said, "Pork head meat from Liji on East Street, mutton soup on Nanbei Street, Yunxiang Building The flower girl and the wine... feel the same as what happened in the previous life."

"I think you miss the flower girl in Yunxiang Tower the most." Xiao Ruming sneered, and pulled out a potato with a fire stick, pinched it to see if it was cooked.

"Are you familiar?" Xie Sheng asked, and then said, "I'm a man in his prime, it's normal to think of women, but it's abnormal if he doesn't. And I'm not like you, I already have a family."

"According to your age, it's time to get married." Xiao Ruming threw the cooked potatoes to Xie Sheng, "It's cooked."

"Isn't this a delay?" Xie Sheng wrapped the potatoes that had just been pulled out of the fire with his clothes, and peeled the skin while blowing, "The time to marry a wife was on the battlefield in the northern border. Anything else."

After peeling off half of it, he carefully took a bite, put it in his mouth and opened it to dry for a while before he dared to chew: "Later, he was transferred back to Henan Road, and when he went home to visit relatives, he found that his parents had been away for several years. There is only one elder sister in my family, and no brothers. When my elder sister marries, she is from another family, and I am the only one left in my family. No one worries about me, and I don’t bother to worry about it myself.”

"If you don't mind, when you go back after the battle, I'll ask my wife to help you." Xiao Ruming also ate potatoes, "A general must have someone who will take care of your inner house."

"Look at what you said, it's too late for me to thank you, how dare I despise it." Xie Sheng laughed and said, "Then it's settled, and my daughter-in-law will ask you to beg for it when the time comes."

"General Xiao, someone sent you a letter." The two were talking when a soldier ran over with a letter in his hand.

"Who sent it?" Xiao Ruming was puzzled, this place can still receive personal letters?
"I don't know." Xiao Bing said, "It was delivered by a little doll, and he ran away after delivering the letter."

"Do you still have acquaintances in this ghost place?" Xie Sheng approached curiously, but the envelope was blank, and nothing could be seen at all.

He poked Xiao Ruming with his elbow: "Open it and have a look."

Xiao Ruming opened the letter suspiciously, only the name of the inn was written on it, nothing else.

"What does this mean?" Xie Sheng was puzzled, "You have a date?"

"...Who am I dating?" Xiao Ruming came back to his senses, folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope, "Maybe it was sent by mistake."

"But besides you, 'General Xiao', are there other Generals Xiao in our barracks?"

Xiao Ruming didn't speak, and looked at Xie Sheng with an expression of "you ask me who I ask".

"Oh~" Xie Sheng suddenly made an expression of enlightenment, and pointed to Xiao Ruming, "Old Xiao, old Xiao, you are not an honest person."

Xiao Ruming knew where he was going when he heard it, but he didn't have the time to explain, his thoughts were still on the letter - it was his father Xiao Ji's handwriting.

How could he be here?

"You are going to meet a beautiful woman." Xie Sheng smiled maliciously, "You, you are still talking about me. At least I want to go back to work after the war. You just do what you say."

"Okay, okay, then you can go as soon as you have time, we have occupied this city right now, this is our territory, do whatever you want, do whatever you want."

……

At noon the next day, Xiao Ruming came to the inn mentioned in the letter.

The shop owner speaks red-faced language, and he has not yet learned to communicate in this language, so he writes down what he wants to say in advance, and finds someone to translate it into red-faced language to write on the paper, and shows it to the shop owner directly.

But he overlooked one - the owner may not be able to read.

Try it, I really don't know how to read.

Just when Xiao Ruming was about to ask everyone for help, a familiar voice came from the second floor: "Liulang."

……

Xiao Ruming came to Xiao Ji's room, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help asking: "Father, why are you here?"

"Come to see you." Xiao Ji is in his early 50s, his temples are already gray, and his face is obviously vicissitudes.He has sharp eyes and a thin body, which makes him look a bit fierce.

"Look for me?" Xiao Ruming was even more puzzled. Now that the red face is fighting, he is still one of the main generals. Why do you have to come to him now?
"Look at this first." Xiao Ji put a roll of parchment on the table and pushed it towards Xiao Ruming.

Xiao Ruming took it into his hand without knowing why, and opened it.

Soon, his expression changed.

"Father, what do you mean?" He put the parchment back, his voice low.

This parchment is written in Tule language, which he can understand - he learned Dali characters and Tule language together when he was enlightened in his childhood.

What was written on it was an order to let Xiao Ji stop hiding and start to act, trying to create trouble for Fourteen.It mentioned Xiao Ruming's name, and he was the "Fa".

"Liulang, you may find it unimaginable what my father is going to say next, but no matter what you think, you must do what I say." Xiao Ji said, "This is our mission. My father, your grandfather, stayed away from The reason why the homeland came thousands of miles away is for this day.”

"Now that the master issues an order, we must do it even if we fight with our lives."
