Chapter 3 Little General

The night is dim, the moonlight shines on the river, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Shu Yan didn't know how to answer, so he put his arms around Yu'an, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know how long it took before the girls were released.

Qixiu was disheveled, with tears on her face.

She lay crookedly on an empty seat next to Shu Yan, curled up into a ball.

Chen Yu'an opened her eyes and looked at Qixiu who was lying on the ground, her eyes were full of fear, Shu Yan grabbed her little grandson's hand tightly.

But Qixiu exhaled lightly.

"Can you excuse me to drink water?"

Her voice was extremely hoarse, and Grandpa Su handed over a kettle.

Qixiu took a sip, then handed the water bottle to Grandpa Su.

She stood up from her seat and staggered towards the river.

She stepped into the icy river, Shu Yan exclaimed.

"Don't be too hard on yourself!"

Grandpa Su got up and ran, and grabbed Qixiu. Regardless of the cold water in the river, he grabbed Qixiu's arm.

Qixiu shouted sharply: "Let me die! Let me die!"

Grandpa Su pulled her back, and Qixiu lay limp on the ground, staring blankly at the distant river.

Grandpa Su said: "A person's life is more valuable than anything else. If you are alive, you have a chance to escape. You say you are not an ordinary person, so why do you want to end your life so easily like an ordinary person?"

Qixiu was startled when she heard this, she said with tears all over her face: "I don't hate them, I hate myself, I hate him, and I'm also afraid of him."

After hearing this, Shu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a tortuous feeling this is.

Grandpa Su took off his outer shirt and put it on Qixiu's body.

"Take care of yourself."

The wind was blowing, Shu Yan's body was extremely cold, and his heart was even colder.

Shu Yan hugged Chen Yu'an, and unconsciously became sleepy.

At dawn, Shu Yan was awakened by the woman's crying.

I saw a few soldiers holding Qixiu's arm, cursing and swearing, and the corners of Qixiu's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

"When the northwest iron cavalry came to attack, I didn't see you being so powerful. You would only be ruthless on women, right?"

The military man slapped Qixiu hard, but Qixiu didn't cry, she just wiped the corner of her mouth.

Qixiu took a deep look at Grandpa Su.

"I will live, I will never die."

Qixiu was dragged away by the soldiers, Grandpa Su sighed slightly, watching the surging river, Shu Yan just looked down at his grandson.

During the silence, a soldier wearing a sweat scarf walked up to Shu Yan. He glanced at Shu Yan and asked, "You know how to make sea bass and water shield soup?"

Shu Yan quickly stood up.

"Master, I was a cook before, so I can do it."

Shu Yan held Chen Yu'an's hand tightly, and the soldier in the sweater said, "Take your grandson to the back camp with me. My lord wants to drink fish soup, but the other cooks make it fishy."

Shu Yan glanced at Grandpa Su behind him, then pulled Chen Yu'an and followed the soldier to the back camp of the rebel army.

There were more than a dozen large pots set up outside, and a few well-fed Huotoujun were cooking. When they saw the old woman Shu Yan walking in, they pointed to the small stove inside.

There is a bucket next to the small stove, and there are several live fish swimming in it.

The sweaty towel soldier said: "Old woman, you should be careful. If I see you doing anything, I will chop off your grandson's head immediately."

Hearing this, Shu Yan nodded quickly, and she asked Chen Yu'an to sit aside, while she bent down to pick up the live fish.

In her previous life, Shu Yan was in poor health, but she liked food very much.

She disemboweled the fish, cleaned the scales and cleaned it.

Seeing Shu Yan's nimble hands and feet, the man in the sweater said, "She's a nimble old lady."

Chen Yu'an sat obediently by the side, looking extremely well-behaved, the soldier said in a bored way, "Your grandson is very well-behaved, I also have a newborn grandson in my hometown."

Shu Yan chatted with the soldier: "Where is the hometown of the soldier?"

The Hanjin soldier said: "I am from the suburbs of Beijing. I used to be an officer in the northern camp. I was defeated and deserted. Fortunately, General Wang did not give up and became a soldier by his side. I can be regarded as a soldier." Straight ahead."

This soldier is over 40 years old, with a rough appearance and a burly figure. He can be seen as a man with high martial arts skills.

Shu Yan exchanged a few more words with the soldier, and learned that the rebel army they were on was under the command of King Longyun of Yingzhou, and now the world is in chaos, with rebels everywhere.

Among them, the most powerful ones are the King of Han who started from a rebellion in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and King Cheng of the southwest rebels.

The two proclaimed themselves kings and encroached on more than half of the imperial court's land.

Now the imperial court is struggling in the south of the Yangtze River, and only the desolate and frigid land in the northwest can still breathe.

It is said that the young emperor built another palace in Taiyuan in the northwest, took in many concubines, and also accepted the widowed wife of the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River as his concubine.

Hearing this news, Shu Yan felt a little helpless.

The widow of the Chen family, isn't that the wife of the third child in her family? That woman is indeed extremely beautiful.

The soldier talked about the war again.

The Han army had broken through the capital, and King Chen from the southwest sent his troops northward. The King of Han is now sitting in the capital. Although he intends to fight, the main force is still fighting bitterly with the remnants of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the rebel army they belonged to wanted to blow up the Su embankment and quickly break through the remnants of the imperial court with the force of the water, so as to withdraw and return to the capital to fight against King Chen.

While speaking, the pot of fish soup was ready, Shu Yan poured the soup into a bowl, and the soldier said coldly, "Taste it first."

Shu Yan tasted the remaining fish soup in the pot, and the soldier was relieved to take the fish soup away.

Only Shu Yan and Chen Yu'an were left. Shu Yan peeled an extra radish just now, and she secretly hid it in her sleeve.

Now that the soldier was gone, Shu Yan took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Chen Yu'an.

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Yu'an, this radish is very sweet, try it."

Chen Yu'an took the radish and tasted it in his mouth.

At this moment, the soldier came back again, and he said to Shu Yan: "You give the rest to the general, and come with me to see the general."

Shu Yan hurriedly followed suit, and she took the bowl with the soldier to the tent deep in the barracks.

Opening the tent, I saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen sitting by the desk, and an old man in his fifties or sixties sitting in front of him.

The boy was taken aback when he saw Shu Yan.

Seeing the young man's expression, the old man asked, "General Long Yun, do you recognize this old woman?"

The young general hurriedly said: "I don't know, I don't know, it's just that she is somewhat similar to my aunt."

The old man sneered: "General Long's aunt is the daughter of a wealthy family, how can she be similar to this kind of country woman?"

The young general was not talking, apparently being suppressed by this person.

The old man said to Shu Yan: "I heard that you are a cook in Hangzhou, where is it?"

Shu Yan hurriedly said: "Reporting to Lord Jun, I used to be the old cook of the Chen family in Jiangnan."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then you are destined to be with our General Long, why don't you go with your master?"

Shu Yan hurriedly replied: "The old lady of the Chen family is seriously ill, the master ordered me to take care of her, the old lady is not in good health, she went away after three days..."

The old man glanced at the young general and chuckled lightly.

"It's pathetic."

Shu Yan put the bowl of fish soup on the table, and the young general looked down at the sand table in front of him without saying a word.

The old man smiled and said: "What are you looking at? Let's drink the soup. The young general is also a son of the Wang family in Yingzhou. You can try the perch and water shield soup from the Wang family."

The young general raised his head, but without looking at Shu Yan, he drank the bowl of fish soup in one gulp.

"Thank you, Mr. Zou. I have been removed from the Wang family. My name is now Long Yun, and I have nothing to do with the Wang family."
