Chapter 105
In the camp outside the tent, steam and white smoke were billowing from the cauldron.The soldiers sat together in groups, holding bowls and waiting for the meal.

They all stretched their necks when they saw Xie Yuan walking towards the gate of the camp instead of going to the pot.

Ke Sande asked loudly:
"Captain Xie, where are you going, it's time to eat!"

Xie Yuan turned his body around, and met the eyes of Uncle Fang in the crowd. Uncle Fang immediately looked away, and the usual smile disappeared from his face.

She put her eyes on Ke Sande and said, "I'm going to eat in the city. If anyone of you needs anything, I can bring it back for you."

Ordinary soldiers are not allowed to leave the camp at will, that is to say, Xie Yuan is now the corps leader, so he has the right to enter the city.

"Bring some sweet dice and peanuts back, I'm so hungry!"

"I want meat! Drink!"

Several people laughed and shouted.

"Go, go, look at your worthless looks!" Ke Sande reprimanded others, stood up from the crowd, bowed to Xie Yuan pretending to be obsequious, and said, "Captain, I'm not like them If you're worthless, you just know how to eat, so what...you can go to the brothel in the city and bring me a woman back."

"Oh~"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Mr. Ke is mighty!"

The crowd immediately erupted, applauding, whistling, and booing at Kesande.

Xie Yuan frowned slightly and ignored them.He turned around directly, got on the horse, kicked the horse's stomach and walked out of the camp.

She entered the city gate, first went to a tailor shop and bought an ordinary coat for herself, put it on to cover her military uniform, and then went to the Mingyuan Escort.

Mingyuan Escort has a reception point and a front in the city. As soon as Xie Yuan entered, the shopkeeper who was calling for people to unload the goods in the courtyard greeted him and said:
"Oh, little man, you are finally here. I have your reply letter, but I don't know where to find you. I just wait for you to come and pick it up."

Xie Yuan was a little surprised, thinking that he had only been here once, and sent a letter to Pingcheng.How many people come and go in this escort agency.She hadn't been here for a month, how could she be recognized as soon as she entered the door? The shopkeeper's memory is too good.

I don't know, it's one thing for the shopkeeper to have a good memory. Xie Yuan's appearance, age, and bearing are really rare.

"Are you sure it's mine?" Xie Yuan asked.

"How can you be unsure, isn't Xie Yuan Xie Langjun? Come with me." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Xie Yuan happily followed behind, crossed the yard, and stood still outside the counter in the front hall.

The shopkeeper went straight to the back, took out a box, and put the box on the counter. In front of Xie Yuan, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the box.

I saw a letter lying neatly inside.When the familiar characters of "Xie Yuan's personal invitation" came into view, the joy in Xie Yuan's heart was beyond words.

It was as if my whole heart had been soaked in a hot spring, and I felt so warm that I wanted to cry.

At this time, she finally really understood a word - "seeing words as faces".

They grew up together, read books together, and wrote a lot of homework together, and they are extremely familiar with each other's fonts.

At this time, when she saw Shen Liuzhen's words, she immediately felt that she had returned to Xie's house, back to the days when the two of them were in class at home.that intimacy...

Maybe it's because she's been away from home for so long, and she's out there alone and scared.Therefore, Shen Liuzhen inexplicably became more lovely in her heart.

Even the things he cheated on her in the past, and the laziness, cunning, and inconsistency in him that she couldn't understand, all seemed unimportant at this moment.

She only remembered that he was her playmate since she was a child, a confidant who could confide in each other.

Xie Yuan took the letter over, with a warmth that he hadn't noticed on his face, and immediately tore off the envelope to check.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly turned his face away to avoid suspicion.

Xie Yuan didn't care, because she knew that Shen Liuzhen would never write anything in his heart, and would definitely use paintings to convey messages like her.

Sure enough, there were three pieces of letter paper inside.The first picture shows two people sitting facing each other. Both of them are wearing Confucian scholar's big-sleeved shirts. There is a table in the middle. The two people are leaning forward towards the table, and they look like they are talking enthusiastically. .

Xie Yuan noticed that the smaller person next to him had a little bit on his cheek.Involuntarily muttered:
"Like a mole, where does it look like a dimple?"

When the shopkeeper next to her heard her say such an inexplicable sentence, he was a little puzzled, so he turned around and asked:

"Xiao Langjun... Did you talk to me?"

As soon as Xie Yuan raised his eyes, he quickly said with an apologetic smile, "No, I'm talking to myself."

"Oh...it's okay, you can continue watching."

Xie Yuan opened the second piece of paper, only a running horse was drawn on it, Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, the third piece of paper was opened, and a general-like figure was drawn on it, with two dots still on his face.

Shen Liuzhen seemed to want to embarrass Xie Yuan on purpose, the armor scales on his body were drawn very finely, many times more beautiful than Xie Yuan's painting of his father, Shen Qingzhi.

Except for the relatively simple face, only the two dots and the pair of big eyes replaced Shen's father's features.But the one painted on the body is called a good one.

Xie Yuan could immediately imagine Shen Liuzhen squatting in front of the table, holding a pen and drawing this picture in two days, and then stuffing it into the envelope with a proud face.

Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little slapped in the face, he thought he was cute just now?He is kind?
... He obviously deserves a beating!

Xie Yuan pursed his lips speechlessly, stuffed the three pieces of letter paper back into the envelope, took out his own letter from his arms, put it on the counter, and said:
"Shopkeeper, send another letter for me." Then he took out a silver pancake and put it on the table.

The shopkeeper looked at the name on the envelope, smiled and said:

"This time I don't need so much. It's just a letter. How can I spend so much money? Last time I asked for so much because I needed to inquire and find someone. This time I am familiar with the place, and Mr. A sling of copper coins is enough."

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you." Then he took the silver pancake back, and gave him another sling of money.

He also said: "Shopkeeper, if there is a reply next time, I will probably not be here. You keep it for now, and I will go to other shops of your Mingyuan Escort to ask, can you find out?"

The shopkeeper was also stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, you can tell them, let them come to us to look for it, and it will be the same when I send the letter to them later. By the way, please leave a message. Let them take it when the time comes." Take your words."

"Okay, thank you very much, the shopkeeper has worked hard." Xie Yuan thanked with a smile, wrote his name on a piece of paper pushed by the shopkeeper, put down the pen and walked out the door neatly.
