his robbery

Chapter 48 A Glutton

After Huo Xiangzhen drank enough noodle soup, he led Gu Chengxi's team into the county seat.After entering the city, he met up with An Rushan, Lu Yongming and others, and went to discuss important matters by himself.But Gu Chengxi temporarily gained leisure and freedom, walking on the county street on an empty stomach, he stopped in front of a big oil pan by the side of the road.

Oil was turning over in the big oil pan. Seeing that the fighting had stopped in the early morning, a noodle shop took the risk to open the business as usual.The staff uses a large strainer to fish out the fried cakes from the pot. The fried cakes are made of high-quality glutinous rice noodles, golden and crispy, and filled with sweet red bean fillings.Gu Chengxi fought his life all night, and now he is only filled with the northwest wind, so he stared at the fried cake at this moment, and he and his guards couldn't move.

Ten minutes later, he sat in a big restaurant and ate eight fried cakes the size of a small fist in one go.If you eat too much sweet food, you will naturally get tired of it, so in order to understand the tiredness, he ate another squishy braised pork elbow - since he went to the battlefield, he hasn't had a satisfying meal, and he got it today Chances are, he broke his fast.After eating up all the braised pork knuckles, he heard that there were still live large crucian carp in the kitchen of the restaurant, so he asked the cook to stew two of them immediately and serve them up.Even drinking soup and eating meat broke out in a hot sweat, and he clicked his mouth unsatisfied, always feeling a little empty.Suddenly, he suddenly realized, he remembered that he hadn't eaten the staple food yet.

The cook fried a plate of big dumplings with hot oil, and respectfully invited head Gu to enjoy them.The taste of the dumplings was very good, Gu Chengxi was confident that he could digest them even after eating stones, so he got up and loosened his belt, picked up the dumplings with chopsticks, and chewed them one by one.

After such a full meal, he took the guards who were also full of wine and food out of the restaurant, and raised his hand to touch his stomach. His stomach didn't seem to bulge much, as if there was still room left.Under the guidance of the military order, he and the officers entered the house where Wan Guoqiang lived to rest.After washing his head and face and changing into new clothes, he gnawed a big apple.

An apple fell into his stomach, and he began to have trouble.Holding a large stack of toilet paper in his hand, he squatted in the hut and couldn't get out.The man was in the hut, but his eyes and ears were still working hard to the outside.Hearing Yuan Man's arrival, he asked loudly through a brick wall: "Adjutant Yuan, I'm sorry I can't see you now, is there any order from the commander-in-chief?"

Yuan Man was not familiar with the terrain of this place, and he only heard his voice but never saw him, so he could only shout at him aimlessly: "Captain Gu, it is really the commander who has spoken. Are we fighting today?" Did you win a big battle? The commander-in-chief said he would give you a reward! Captain Gu, I think you will make a fortune today, so I congratulate you in advance!"

After hearing this, Gu Chengxi was so anxious that his voice twisted and turned like a donkey braying: "Ah? Such a good thing? Adjutant Yuan, please go back and tell the commander in chief that I will be right there."

Yuan Man agreed, turned and left.And Gu Chengxi squatted in the hut wanting to cry without tears, twisting his intestines to make troubles, and refused to make him feel better for a minute.He wished he could fly to Huo Xiangzhen immediately to receive the reward, but squatting on the pit clutching the toilet paper, he really couldn't move an inch.

In the afternoon, Gu Chengxi went out with half-closed eyes and went straight to the headquarters where Huo Xiangzhen was.The headquarters was set up at the home of the county governor, not too far from Wanzhai.Gu Chengxi's belly turned pale, he supported the wall and shook, and walked out tremblingly all the way.He got on the horse even rolling and crawling, he wished he could lie on the horse's back and be lazy in public.

When he arrived at the county magistrate's house, he knew he was too late, so he didn't dare to meet Huo Xiangzhen directly.After finding Yuan Man first, he said weakly, "Adjutant Yuan, I'm here."

Seeing his appearance, Yuan Man was startled: "Oh, Captain Gu, why are you so thin?"

Gu Chengxi groaned: "I'm not thin. I ate my stomach in the morning. Fortunately, I almost pulled out my intestines in the past half a day. So what, handsome?"

Yuan Man opened his eyes wide and replied: "I asked you to come in the morning. If you don't come, can the commander-in-chief wait for you? Besides, it's not the right time for you to come now. The commander-in-chief is with Mr. An and Mr. Lu. It’s about taking a hot shower.”

Gu Chengxi hunched his head and raised his head, his eyelids couldn't move, he just relied on his two eyebrows to hang up: "Taking a bath...do you still need to gather?"

Yuan Man replied: "The commander-in-chief wants to take a bath, but the bathhouses here can't do it, it's too bad. Mr. An still brought some new bathtubs." Then he lowered his voice and laughed: "The commander-in-chief said, Since we have called Master An, we cannot leave Master Lu behind."

Gu Chengxi still wanted to speak, but there was a sharp pain in his stomach.A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Man: "Brother, where is the latrine?"

Seeing him startled and stunned, Yuan Man couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his finger to a small winding passage: "Go there, you'll be there at the end."

Gu Chengxi panicked and rushed into the latrine holding his stomach.Three to five minutes later, he came out with stars in his eyes, and walked along the road under his feet in a daze.Not far away in this way, he found himself lost.

Lost, and the sky dimmed.He was blown by the cold night wind, but he regained a little energy.Going through a small moon gate, he entered a small courtyard in a daze.Just when he was about to shout for someone, he raised his eyes and found that the house in front of him was lit. Looking in through the wooden lattice window, he saw Huo Xiangzhen, An Rushan, and Lu Yongming first.

At a second glance, he saw three large tubs.The big tub was placed in the shape of a "pin", and it shot straight towards the wall like an arrow.And the three stood with their backs to the glass window, Huo Xiangzhen naturally occupied the chief position inside, An Rushan stood next to the tub on the right, and the tub on the left belonged to Lu Yongming.The glass windows are hazy, and it can be seen that the room must be steaming.There are also coat racks beside the three large tubs.

Huo Xiangzhen made a move first, followed by An Rushan and Lu Yongming.The three of them unbuttoned and took off their military uniforms uniformly, and hung their coats and shirts on the coat rack one by one.Gu Chengxi could see clearly, and saw that Huo Xiangzhen was undoubtedly the tallest and tallest, while An Rushan was a little shorter, with bulging tendons.But Lu Yongming is a skinny and thin man, with edges and corners all over his body.The three of them bent down and took off their pants together, and finally turned to the tub to lift their legs. The three of them were quite flexible, and all of them stepped into the tub water with a big stride.

Gu Chengxi watched and learned.An Rushan and Lu Yongming are always one second slower than Huo Xiangzhen, Gu Chengxi understands that this is called "not surpassing".A careless martial artist like An Rushan, and a lonely and weird army leader like Lu Yongming, both know "not to overstep". Gu Chengxi was calculating in his heart, feeling that he had gained insight.

At this time, the three of them sat in the water one after another with a subtle time difference.Through a door and window, Gu Chengxi heard the three of them take a deep breath together, and then sighed: "Oh..."

An Rushan stretched out his arms and grabbed a towel from the coat rack: "The commander-in-chief is right, soaking in hot water is really comfortable. The coldness in my whole body came out all at once."

Then the three of them raised their hands together and stroked their backs backwards.

Huo Xiangzhen folded a wet towel into small pieces and placed them squarely on top of his head.Closing his eyes and sinking down, he whispered, "When you get back to Beijing, you can go to my house. The big pool in my house is very nice."

Lu Yongming sat upright in the water, as if ready to meditate at any time, with a small jade bodhisattva hanging around his neck: "Take more hot baths..." He spoke slowly: "It is not only good for hygiene... And it’s good for your health too.”

An Rushan leaned back, and put his arms on the edge of the tub in a big way: "I don't know what's healthy or not, but I know it's comfortable!"

Immediately afterwards, he tilted his head in Huo Xiangzhen's direction: "Marshal, I heard that you can swim in the pool that the secretary-general built for you?"

Huo Xiangzhen didn't open her eyes, but waved her hand slightly: "Exaggeration."

Lu Yongming suddenly turned his head and muttered lazily: "Then who is standing outside?"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiangzhen immediately opened his eyes, and An Rushan also turned his head.Gu Chengxi had nowhere to escape and was arrested on the spot.Fortunately, the three bathers in the room were not big girls, so although he didn't have the right to trespass here, he didn't commit any major crimes.

Lu Yongming began to complain that the guards were not loyal to their duties, and couldn't even look after the yard; An Rushan echoed his swearing, and wanted to shoot the guards one by one.While the two were singing together, Huo Xiangzhen called Gu Chengxi in.

Gu Chengxi had already made a mistake, and he couldn't add more mistakes, so he opened the door very quickly and entered even faster, for fear of letting the steam out of the room.There is no electricity in the county town, and the houses are all lit by rows of large candles.The darker the outside, the brighter the room.The three big figures in the bathtub turned to Gu Chengxi together, like three arhats plated with gold.

Huo Xiangzhen raised his hand and tore off the towel on his head: "Why are you here?"

Faced with this situation of three trials, Gu Chengxi couldn't help crying and laughing.He stammered and told the truth, and he felt really embarrassed.

When he finished speaking, led by Huo Xiangzhen, all three of them laughed.Huo Xiangzhen wiped her face with a towel, then nodded and said, "Look, this is my regimental leader."

An Rushan laughed and interjected: "Marshal, it's a good thing that the young man can eat. Based on his way of eating, if it were me, I would get sick. Old Lu, how much can you eat in one meal?"

Lu Yongming pointed his bony chest with his fingers: "What do you think?"

Huo Xiangzhen lowered his eyes, folded the towel and put it on his head, then raised his eyes and said, "It's no big deal to find you. The battle is over, and you will be rewarded. Go back to Beijing to ask Ma Congrong for money, but he gave less. You come and sue me."

Gu Chengxi paid a military salute shamelessly, and slapped himself several times in his heart - he is already the head of the regiment, and he is so embarrassing!

Before resigning embarrassingly, he quickly glanced at Huo Xiangzhen again.Huo Xiangzhen was really good-looking, wearing clothes with style, as well as taking off his clothes, the condensation on the shoulders and chest reflected the candlelight, and the golden-red light shone little by little.Comparing with Huo Xiangzhen, Gu Chengxi feels that ordinary men are not men any more, they are even unsightly and unreadable.

As for Xiao Lin at home, he can only be classified as a servant; the stunning young master Bai is classified as a girl.

Gu Chengxi failed to find another chance to be alone with Huo Xiangzhen, and An Rushan didn't care for anyone at all, and didn't understand his concerns at all, and went around spreading the word that Tuanzhang Gu was turned on his back on his first day in the city.The news was spread ten times, ten times, and hundreds of times. The more it spread, the more it became out of order. In the end, Tuan Zhang became a legendary foodie, and his appetite doubled in the public's mouth several times.

After more than a week, Gu Chengxi returned to Baoding with his soldiers.For Gu Tuan, Huo Xiangzhen had rewarded him on a large scale before, and now he rewarded him again on a small scale.In today's world, where there are soldiers, everything is possible, so he has learned to be generous.If you win over the soldiers, he will never be poor for the rest of his life.

After settling down his officers and soldiers, he returned to Beijing with his adjutant guards.After entering the door, Xiao Lin greeted him happily as usual, and asked him, "Did you bring me something nice?"

Gu Chengxi was very serious, and walked into the house with his head down.The house is as warm as spring, and everywhere is clean.Sitting down on the chair, he lowered his head and said, "I made a fool of myself outside. I dare not say it in the whole country. Anyway, the soldiers in the whole province may know it by now."

Xiao Lin was taken aback: "My lord, what are you doing?"

Gu Chengxi let out an "ah": "Actually, it's not a big deal. Don't ask, I'm too lazy to talk about it."
