From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

In any case, Zhou Yuan did catch the rabbit and skinned it, and washed it clean.

A group of four people sat around the fire, roasting meat and chatting about the future, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

At dusk on the second day, they finally arrived at Suzhou Wei.

The desert was filled with smoke, and the long river was setting in the round sun.

The setting sun was shining on this ancient pass, which was like a giant with its chest held high, standing firmly on the desert land, using its strongest body to resist the endless wind and sand.

The drums sounded, the horns sounded, the city gates opened, and the soldiers in neat formations rushed out. The heavy footsteps seemed to flatten the earth, the wind and sand were dancing, the smoke and dust filled the sky, and the roars broke the sky.

"Welcome the marshal to triumph!"

"Welcome the marshal to triumph!"

The neat voice shook the mountains and rivers, and dozens of cavalrymen rushed over. They were Li He, Song Wu, Xu Dasheng and other generals.

"Marshal, you have recovered the Western Regions without a single soldier, and your name will go down in history!"

Song Wu laughed and dismounted, half-knelt and clasped his fists.

This kid seems to have grown a little stronger, and it seems that he has not been too worried recently.

"Get up, all these nonsense are useless, kill the sheep and cook the meat, and let's get drunk for three days, this is what I promised in advance."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go! Enter the city first!"

Everyone laughed and shouted to enter the city together, it was very lively.

"Marshal, the inn has been cleaned up. You can stay there temporarily and take a rest. When it gets dark, we will have a good drink in the camp!"

Xu Dasheng rubbed his hands. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He laughed and said, "We also want to hear the Marshal's stories about the Western Regions. It must be very exciting."

Zhou Yuan said, "They are all intrigues. They are not exciting at all. You may not like to listen to them."

Xu Dasheng blinked and said, "Exciting at all? What's the matter with that girl from the Western Regions behind? She is so beautiful that she looks like she came out of a painting. The Marshal has good taste!"

The other brothers couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Yuan said, "Go away, stop making up rumors about me. This is my junior sister. You are not allowed to bully her."

Song Wu looked strange and frowned, "Junior sister? As far as I know... the marshal has given his senior sister to..."

Zhou Yuan interrupted immediately, "Boy, did you call the forty-year-old girl in your family?"

Song Wu almost fell off his horse. His face turned green with anxiety. He lowered his voice and said, "Marshal, please shut up and spare me. This is a secret. No one knows it yet."

Li He snorted, "I don't know shit. Everyone knows that you have an old girl at home. You treat her like a golden baby and don't let people see her. I We just don't want to expose you."

Song Wu yelled anxiously: "Li He, your mother, I'm not done with you!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, don't think you can hide your little things from anyone. As long as there is something funny, it will spread the fastest. Don't you know what happened to me?"

Song Wu said in a muffled voice: "I know, damn it."

"Bullshit! It's the one about the fifty or sixty old woman!"

Zhou Yuan almost exploded with anger, and then said: "But what do you think? If you don't want her to come out to see people, how will you live in the future?"

Song Wu lowered his head and said: " She doesn't want to, what can I do? I said just get married, she said I was forcing her to commit suicide. "

"She thinks too much, and is too worried about other things. She is always afraid of leaving me with a bad reputation and delaying me."

"I, Song Wu, crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. I don't care about those worldly things. I just want to give her a name."

Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Some things will not go so smoothly. You want to give her a name, and she may also want it deep in her heart, but the rumors afterwards may really drive her to death."

"You kid, weigh this matter yourself. I have my own headaches and can't say anything."

Song Wudu "There is already a way. She asked me to marry her youngest niece, so that she can take care of me as an elder."

"I have seen the girl who came with me. She is pretty and quiet. She is very good."

Zhou Yuan glared and said, "What are you dissatisfied with?"

Song Wu said, "I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to pass that test. After all, the gap in family background is too big."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Forget it, I will help you. I will help you with this matter. His Majesty will not object."

Hearing this, Li He and Xu Dasheng laughed wildly, holding their stomachs and looking like they had succeeded in their evil plan.

Song Wu performed Sichuan Opera face-changing in an instant, and said with a beaming face, "Okay! It's a deal!"

Zhou Yuan was puzzled and said, "Why do I feel that you have tricked me?"

Li He said, "General Jie, this methodIt was the three of us who came up with this idea. We wanted this guy to play the emotional card, get close to you, and try to get you to ask for help. "

Xu Dasheng said: "So far, it seems to be working well."

"Damn it..."

Zhou Yuan slapped Song Wu on the back of his head and shouted: "You bastard, why are you so lustful!"

Song Wu stretched his face forward and said with a smile: "Come on, hit here, anyway, you promised to help, don't regret it."

"As long as I get married, she will have an identity. With an identity, she won't have to hide. What's the big deal about me getting slapped a few times."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and clapped his hands: "Good boy, you have a bit of my shameless style, well done!"

Xu Dasheng said carelessly: "That... Marshal, you just said that you also have a headache, do you mean... you have an old one? "

Zhou Yuan flew up and kicked him off his horse, shouting, "Bullshit, what do you mean old? You are still very young. Stop talking nonsense, or I will hand you over to Yang Changguan."

Xu Dasheng climbed up and said in a daze, "Who is Yang Changguan?"

Song Wu laughed, "The former prince consort liked strong men like you."

Xu Dasheng took a breath and said quickly, "Well, let me see if they have prepared wine and food. I will leave first."

So everyone laughed.

It is actually very simple for men to be happy when they get together. Just a few jokes and some nonsense are enough to make them have endless fun.

Ye Qingying, Xiaoying and Ayinizi didn't bother to care about Zhou Yuan at all. After they arrived at the posthouse, they went to take a bath directly. They were tired after traveling for so many days.

"There is only one request! Don't come to me and Xiaoying when you are drunk! ”

“Have a good reunion with your brothers. The next time you come to Gansu Town, it may be many years later.”

These were their exact words, and Zhou Yuan was very satisfied.

“Come back in three days!”

After making such bold statements, Zhou Yuan strode out of the door and rode his horse to the camp.

As night fell, bonfires were lit all around, and pots of mutton were simmering, with a fragrant aroma.

Everyone had already sat together, drinking enthusiastically, and some of them were even so angry that they had taken off their shirts and were drinking with others while holding jars.

“Brothers! Look who’s here!”

“Oh! It’s the great hero who recovered the Western Regions!”

“Tonight, let’s have a celebration for the marshal and get him drunk!”

Everyone surrounded him, carried Zhou Yuan to the room next to the table, and brought up large bowls of wine.

“Wait! "

Zhou Yuan shouted hurriedly: "Give me a leg of lamb! After I finish eating it, I will accompany you to the end."

Li He shouted: "General Jie, please be happy! Bring me the leg of lamb! Bring me the wine too!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the field reached a climax. The heroic spirit of the northwest and the happiness in the army were one of Zhou Yuan's favorite environments.
