Chapter 84 Visiting the Military Camp
Aguda wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound. Huo Lin simply raised his stick and hit him. After only five hits, he fainted.
Shengxia watched Huo Lin finish the twenty hits before calling the military doctor who was waiting by the side. No matter what, he had to save his life.
Shengxia looked up at the sky. It was getting dark. It seemed that he would not be able to go back in time to have dinner with Xia Yanjing. Soon the city gate would be closed, and he would have to go back tomorrow.
"Report, General, your husband Xia Yanjing wants to see you outside the camp." A soldier ran over to report.
Shengxia was very happy when he heard this. He didn't expect Xia Yanjing to come to the military camp to find him. At this time, Shengxia couldn't wait to meet Xia Yanjing.
"Xia Xia, I hope I didn't disturb you." Xia Yanjing was standing outside the camp and said with a smile when he saw Sheng Xia running towards him.
"No, why are you here so late?" Shengxia ran to Xia Yanjing. Although he wanted to give him a big hug, it was not polite to do so outside.
"I missed you. I brought you some food. Let's eat together." Xia Yanjing answered in a low voice. He was actually worried that Shengxia would suddenly break the appointment. Maybe something had happened, so he asked Shitou to drive the carriage to take him to find Shengxia.
Fortunately, when he saw Shengxia appear in front of him intact, Xia Yanjing finally put his heart at ease and followed Shengxia into the military camp.
After entering the military camp, Xia Yanjing looked curiously at the many people gathered in the training ground and asked curiously, "Xia Xia, what's going on? Why are so many people gathered together?" Not only were they gathered together, but those people were also looking at Xia Yanjing.
"I'll tell you when we have dinner." Shengxia realized that she couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so she didn't rush to explain.
"Okay." Xia Yanjing was not in a hurry. The city gate was closed anyway, and he definitely couldn't go back tonight.
"Okay, let's all go." Shengxia saw that so many people had not left yet. Not only did they not leave, but they were also staring at his husband. He was afraid that Xia Yanjing would feel uncomfortable, so he quickly asked everyone to leave.
Xia Yanjing was indeed a little uncomfortable. After all, it was the first time he was stared at by so many people.
"Deputy General Huo, it's getting late. Leave them to the military doctor and go have dinner." Shengxia said as she looked at Huo Lin who was still standing there.
"Yes, General." Huo Lin responded respectfully, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Yanjing. He felt that Xia Yanjing was just so-so, yet he could catch the general's eye. Huo Lin suppressed his resentment in his heart.
Xia Yanjing felt an unfriendly gaze falling on him. Turning around, he saw Huo Lin's unwilling gaze, which he had not yet retracted. Xia Yanjing immediately understood that this seemed to be his love rival, but Xia Xia was already his.
Shengxia's tent had been left in the military camp. Xia Yanjing followed Shengxia back to the tent. After entering, Xia Yanjing took a quick look around.
There was nothing else in the tent except the necessary supplies. Then Xia Yanjing set his eyes on the bed in the tent. The bed was very small.
"Yan Jing, you haven't eaten yet, come and have something to eat." Sheng Xia thought that Xia Yanjing must not have eaten yet at this time.
"Okay, I'm hungry, let's eat together."
The two were just setting out the dishes when Huo Lin's voice came from outside the tent, "General, this is the food prepared by the barracks. I'll bring some over to you."
"Come in." Shengxia did not refuse Huo Lin's kindness.
"I wonder what this general's name is." Xia Yanjing stood up and asked enthusiastically when he saw his rival coming.
"Huolin." Huolin said his name concisely and then placed the food on the table.
"General Huo, you probably haven't had dinner yet. Why don't you stay and eat with us?" Xia Yanjing took the initiative to invite. He wanted Huo Lin to give up.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Huo, you're welcome, let's eat together." Shengxia also said with a smile. During the war, he often ate with them.
"Thank you, General. I'm sorry to bother you." Huo Lin smiled and sat down next to Shengxia, facing Xia Yanjing.
"General Huo also brought some wine." Xia Yanjing looked at Huo Lin with a smile.
"Yes, the general and I used to drink this wine when we were fighting in the past." Huo Lin replied with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Then I'd like to try it." Xia Yanjing said and picked up a wine glass on the table.
"Yan Jing, this wine is quite strong and has a strong impact." Sheng Xia reminded.
"It's okay, I also want to taste the wine you once drank." Xia Yanjing looked at Shengxia gently.
"Then drink less." Shengxia felt a little embarrassed when Xia Yanjing looked at her, because there were outsiders around.
"Yes, sir." Xia Yanjing sat up straight and answered loudly.
"Stop being naughty and eat your meal." Shengxia couldn't help laughing at Xia Yanjing's action.
Huo Lin felt even more sad when he saw the two of them getting along so warmly without paying attention to who was around. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
Xia Yanjing was so proud to see that Huo Lin was provoked by him. There was more to come. He would definitely make General Huo give up tonight.
"General Huo, it's boring to drink alone. I'll have a couple of drinks with you." Xia Yanjing poured himself a glass of wine and looked at Huo Lin with a smile.
"Okay." Huo Lin also started to get serious. He felt that Xia Yanjing looked like a weak scholar and was not worthy of Shengxia.
Shengxia was eating while looking at the two men. They seemed to be getting along very well, but why did it feel a little strange? However, Shengxia was not very sensitive in this regard and did not notice the rivalry between the two men at all.
"Xia Xia, this is delicious, eat more." While drinking with Huo Lin, Xia Yanjing did not forget to pick up food for Sheng Xia. Sheng Xia was used to Xia Yanjing's behavior at home and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Seeing these scenes, Huo Lin held the wine glass tightly in his hand and could only drink silently. Why wasn't he the one who married the general? If he had been braver at the beginning, would he have had hope?
The more Huo Lin thought about it, the more he regretted it, but it was too late. If Xia Yanjing died, would he have a chance? When Huo Lin thought of this, he broke out in a sweat. How could he think like that?
Huo Lin drank silently the whole night, and Xia Yanjing accompanied him. It must be said that the wine was indeed very strong, but he could not lose, at least not to his rival in love. Anyway, he had a good alcohol tolerance, so Xia Yanjing was not afraid at all.
Shengxia had finished her meal and was holding up her chin as she watched the two people still clinking glasses and drinking silently. Shengxia was puzzled. Could it be that these two people knew each other before?
