Chapter 252 Rong Yi Really Doesn’t Understand
Rong Yi felt that Huo Gannian and Yun Chen must be gay.
Because he had never seen two grown men being so affectionate.
Every day before dawn, Huo Gannian would get up. He had always slept little, only two hours a day.
At one o'clock in the morning, Huo Gannian finished washing up and walked out of the tent feeling refreshed.
Then he walked into Yun Chen's tent, which was only a dozen feet away from the commander-in-chief's tent, and closed the curtain tightly.
It was not until almost noon that the sound of Yun Chen waking up was heard from inside the tent.
In fact, Rong Yi was very curious. Every time Huo Gannian entered Yun Chen's tent and Yun Chen woke up, what did Huo Gannian do in the hour in between?
Is she sitting beside the couch and watching Yun Chen fall asleep?
Or should I just go to bed and hug Yun Chen and take another nap?
Rong Yi really didn't understand. What was so good about "Sujue"? How boring. Did two grown men really care so much about chastity?
What Rong Yi didn't understand was that Huo Gannian was obviously very busy every day, and there were mountains of official business to be dealt with in the commander-in-chief's tent every day.
However, he had the leisure to do things that Rong Yi found very boring:
For example, she wiped Yun Chen's face and hands when he just woke up and was still groggy, combed Yun Chen's hair, and made plum soup for him...
And I like to make bath water for Yunchen the most.
Every day, the two of them would eat breakfast together. Yun Chen would just wolf down his food, while Huo Gannian would just watch her eat with a smile, and pick up some food for her with his chopsticks from time to time.
Finally, after enough of wasting time, the two of them put on each other's armor and went about their business.
Yun Chen is now in charge of the cavalry, and is mainly busy with matters such as the cavalry's organization, training, and practical training.
I am busy every day, covered in dust and sweat.
As the commander-in-chief of the Lion Army, Huo Gannian has even more things to do.
But no matter how busy he is, as long as there is no fighting or training, Huo Gannian will have lunch with Yun Chen every day.
The two men held their bowls and sat at the table, each looking at the official documents beside them.
Although they didn't talk, the atmosphere was comfortable and intimate, and they always had a tacit understanding of frowning at the same time.
In the afternoon, Yun Chen used to practice martial arts with a copy of the "Secret Book of Meaninglessness";
Huo Gannian was like being nailed to a chair, motionless as he looked at the official business of the afternoon.
Finally, when night fell, Yun Chen always closed the tent and turned off the lights early, and ordered the guards on duty to keep a close watch on the tent and not allow anyone to come in.
According to Rong Yi's observation, Yun Chen was actually guarding against Huo Gannian, but no personal soldiers dared to stop the general.
As soon as Yun Chen turned off the lights, Huo Gannian would immediately rush into Yun Chen's tent like a hound that had smelled the scent, and would not come out until Yun Chen fell asleep.
Rong Yi stretched his ears to listen several times, but there was no movement. It seemed that the two people were just chatting together at night.
Now Rong Yi didn’t understand again. Shouldn’t he go there to sleep?
Later, Rong Yi paid attention and it seemed that Yun Chen was unwilling.
Because he found that Huo Gannian was kicked out several times.
And every time he left, Huo Gannian looked dejected and went back to continue reviewing official business with a wronged look on his face.
Thinking of this, Rong Yi's thoughts were interrupted by Qiangwei, who smiled and said:
"Is there such a thing in the army? If the general takes the lead, won't the people below be in chaos? It seems that you two generals are no better than this. I think you are the more suitable general."
After hearing this, Rong Yi became slightly serious:
"You don't understand. Public is public, private is private. Our two generals may be different from the ordinary, but they are one in a million, incomparable. They have no filth in their hearts.
Take our commander, General Huo, for example. He has too many things to worry about, including military affairs, government affairs, and the Huo Gang. He has to take care of everything, from commanding and deploying every battle to the post-war reconstruction of cities and villages, how the people get drinking water, the price of grain in the market, and whether the children can go to school and have food to eat.
Once during a march, he met an old man begging with his grandson. General Huo politely asked about the origins of the grandfather and grandson. After learning that they were from Yancheng, he gave them money and clothes, and then turned around and severely reprimanded the relevant officials.
The funds allocated by the imperial court to the Lion Army were always slow to arrive, and if they were insufficient, he would make up the difference out of his own pocket. The daily toll of official duties and correspondence gave me a headache just reading them, but he remained calm and composed, managing everything without a single mistake. He seemed born to be a general—"
Thinking of Huo Gannian's usual aloof and intimidating demeanor, Rong Yi added in his mind:
No, he's more like a king.
A king with the world in his heart.
Only when facing Yun Chen did he act like a mortal with emotions and desires.
Qiangwei suddenly realized: "So this is why you are closer to the 'Boss' and respect General Huo more than love him."
This hit the nail on the head. Qiangwei is always so understanding.
Rong Yi put his arms around her and said:
"The Huo Gang is very powerful, the richest people in the Southern Kingdom. The Lion Army is also very powerful, almost invincible. These are so powerful that they seem to be natural, as if this is the way the world should be.
People always tend to forget that behind these powerful people, at the center of those countless brave and loyal men, there is actually only one person: General Huo.
Our boss is also very powerful. Following him, your blood will boil, and you will fight selflessly, fearless of bloodshed or death. But with General Huo around, you know you will definitely win and survive. He is the backbone of everything."
Qiangwei seemed to understand, but not quite. She lay quietly on Rong Yi's chest, listening to the man talk about the world that was out of reach for her.
"Although I don't fully understand you, I know that those who defend their country are good men."
"Of course not." Rong Yi smiled proudly, then turned over and pressed Qiangwei down on the couch, grinning:
"Do you want to see a real 'good boy' again?"
Qiangwei smiled shyly: "Hateful!"
