The general's mansion was big enough. Except for the five hundred soldiers who escorted them to Beiming, Yuchi Yi sent people to take them to the military camp to rest and gain experience.
The others are staying here tonight.
When An Xin saw Yuchi Yi, who had grown taller and stronger, he raised his arm and patted him on the shoulder with an expression of comfort.
His tone was full of pride: "He has grown into a truly mighty and majestic general..."
After receiving praise from his teacher, Yuchi Yi, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, scratched the back of his head with bright eyes, "It's not as good as the teacher said."
An Xin looked at him with amusement. After not seeing him for a long time, the brat finally learned to be humble.
When they arrived at the lobby, An Xin was naturally invited to sit at the main seat, and the others sat down according to their status.
The servants in the general's mansion served tea upon hearing the order, and then retreated respectfully.
We hadn't seen each other for a long time, and we chatted about what happened in the capital and at the border.
Because Yuchi Yi had to guard the border and could not return to Beijing at will, he had not seen his family for a long time.
So whether it was Senior Brothers Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou or General Chen and his men, what they talked about most was the affairs of the General's Mansion.
To relieve Yuchi Yi's pain of missing his family.
An Xin, who was sitting at the top of the center of the hall, gently scraped the foam off the tea, took a sip, and watched everyone chatting with a smile.
I noticed that General Gao kept looking towards the door, so I knew who he wanted to see, so when they paused in their conversation.
He looked at Yuchi Yi and asked, "Where are Gao Tai and Xiao Ling? Why can't I see them?"
Yuchi Yi glanced at General Gao, who looked expectant, and suddenly realized his negligence. He replied, "A-Tai and Captain Zheng have gone to patrol the border. I'm afraid they won't be back until the evening."
Next, Yuchi Yi instructed the steward in the mansion to buy good wine and food and prepare a welcoming banquet for An Xin and others.
Gao Tai and Zheng Xiaoling were on horseback, leading a patrol of the border. They heard three or five soldiers gathered together and chattered in an admiring tone: "Did you hear about it?"
"That female official, Lady An, who once captured the enemy's chief general amidst the thousands of troops outside our border city.
The team going to Bei Ming is passing by us and will be invited into the general's mansion by our general.
I heard that she is also our general's teacher. Our young general is very lucky to have such a brave teacher. "
Gao Tai: "The teacher is here."
"The master is here." Zheng Xiaoling also said in a surprised voice.
After hearing this, they could no longer listen to anything else. The two men who were about to dismount to settle the soldiers squeezed their legs against the horse's belly. The horse seemed to feel the excitement and joy in its owner's heart. It neighed and ran towards the general's mansion with a "da da da" sound, kicking up the dust.
An Xin, who was sitting in the hall, saw the two people hurriedly coming in, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Looking at the two men, they were all covered in dust, with their faces still covered with dust from the journey, and their lips were chapped by the dry wind in northern Ji.
He said with some distress: "Come in and have a cup of tea. Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away."
"No hurry! No hurry!" Gao Tai looked at An Xin, who was grinning with her big white teeth. He saw her happily scratching the back of her head and grinning. "I heard that the teacher was coming, so I couldn't help but run back."
Gao Tai was about to kneel down on one leg and clasp his fists to salute his teacher.
An Xin looked at his naive student and felt happy, so he reached out his hand to stop him.
"grown ups."
An Xin suddenly heard a voice full of grievance.
Looking at Zheng Xiaoling, who was wearing half a mask and a suit of military armor, her figure, which was not rough at all, was made to look majestic.
The two men had obviously just returned from patrolling the border outside the city and hurried here.
An Xin also waved to Zheng Xiaoling, called her over, and personally handed her a cup of tea to quench her thirst, "Drink it quickly, your lips are all dry and cracked with blood stains."
"Okay." Zheng Xiaoling was instantly cured. She happily took the tea and drank it.
An Xin looked at her with a smile, not thinking that her behavior was rude at all.
Behave accordingly to where you are.
The army doesn't need weak and slow-witted ladies from a noble family. Zheng Xiaoling is the right way to be a female general at the border.
General Gao, who was standing next to him, was filled with excitement when he suddenly saw his son. However, Gao Tai, who had not noticed his father sitting in the lobby, immediately turned three shades darker than charcoal.
Poor old father, he came here from thousands of miles away, and had been looking forward to seeing his son whom he had not seen for a long time since he arrived in the border town, but now he is being ignored like this.
General Gao felt like crying at this moment. If he had known that he would give birth to such a short-sighted brat, he might as well have given birth to a barbecued pork.
General Chen enjoyed watching the fun, and when General Gao saw his funny look, he almost jumped up and cursed in the street.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
You are such a good fox, Chen. Your son is now working in the capital and doesn’t have to suffer the pain of separation, but now you dare to laugh at me.
Just when General Gao was about to get angry, General Chen finally found his conscience, raised his hand to his lips and coughed softly: "Cough."
This attracted Gao Tai's attention.
"Father, Uncle Chen."
An Xin looked at this fool with amusement. He finally saw his father's dark face and General Chen, who was squinting his gentle and elegant eyes and looking at his old friend's joke.
"Father, you can still see me as your father," General Gao said with a sour tone on his rough face, "You still see me as your father in your eyes."
Gao Tai saw his father whom he hadn't seen for several years. His eyes were red with excitement, "Dad."
The word "Dad" made General Gao, who was originally feeling a little awkward, moisten his eyes.
The general is also a human being and he also has feelings for his children.
When his son walked up to him and knelt down, the admiring look in his eyes moved even General Gao, a rough man.
After all, this was his son whom he had missed so much and hadn't seen for a long time. After being excited, General Gao patted Gao Tai's increasingly strong shoulders and looked at him with satisfaction. "Good, good, this physique is perfect for being a soldier."
After Gao Tai saluted his father, he turned around and saluted his elder, General Chen.
"Good boy, you have grown up." General Chen, who had watched them grow up, glanced at Gao Tai and Yuchi Yi and praised them generously: "A good father will have a good son. You two are both good sons of our Daqian, defending our country and guarding the border."
“And the pride of your fathers.”
General Gao was no longer angry now and glanced at General Chen with pride.
Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou also looked at their two fellow apprentices who were defending the country and guarding the border with respect, and then several fellow apprentices gathered together to talk about court affairs.
Xiao Chi Lan, who couldn't get a word in, curled her lips and muttered, "Senior brothers, this is too much."
An Xin looked at Jiang Xuan, who was also ignored and sitting nearby with a relaxed look on his face. The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the housekeeper came to report that the meal was ready, and everyone moved to the dining room for dinner.
