The night was getting darker. Huang Qiang, who had just patrolled the city wall, walked into the room, threw the sword on the table with a sound, sat down heavily, snatched a glass of warm wine from his elder brother Huang Gang, and tilted his neck and poured it down.

"What's wrong, you're dejected?" Huang Gang took the cup, poured another cup, and slowly savored it himself.

"Brother, there is a big show outside the city wall!" Huang Qiang sighed. "The stage is all within our range, and they are too unscrupulous. What does the superior mean? He doesn't fight and he doesn't give up, he doesn't give up. What's going on?"

"Is it the local accent of our Daqin again?" Huang Gang said slowly.

"Yes, but this time it's not just a song, but also a plot." Huang Qiang hesitated for a moment, "Brother, I think it's very strange."

"Did you look?" Huang Gang looked up at his younger brother.

"From the beginning to the end, I've finished watching it." Huang Qiang said a little: "Anyway, the boss doesn't let us fight, and the other party is acting in a big show, why don't I watch it? Our morale has been like this. I ran away several times the previous day. Didn't my brother not pursue it? He didn't even report it."

"Everyone flew away when the disaster is coming. I see that the general has no idea and doesn't know what to do. Some brothers want to find a way out and what to do? If they can live, that's always good." Huang Gangyi said suddenly: "The 50,000 brothers from Qinghe County are still half left?" "What are you thinking, brother?"

"What can I think? Qiangzi, when we fight Xiaoshicheng, we brothers are all in battle. We have repeatedly rushed to the top of the city and have been facing Guan Ning face to face. The Little Rock City is so tragic that the Ming army who died at the hands of our brothers does not know Fanfan. Who is opposite us now? Isn't it Guan Ning? What's the way out for us?" He raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass, and coughed continuously.

Huang Qiang was silent for a moment, "How come he has fallen to this point now?"

Huang Gang laughed: "The Ming Dynasty wants to unify the world, and Da Qi also thinks so. Our general wants to seize the throne. In fact, no one can tolerate the general. Both sides used us earlier, but now when they see that the value of use is gone, they will naturally abandon it like a blind foot."

"The general's own selfishness has caused more than half of the 50,000 brothers to be lost. I am afraid that the rest will be difficult to protect." Huang Qiang whispered.

"Say less, we have no way out. Just a pawn, how can we make our own decisions, go with the flow, and take one step at a time." Huang Gang poured a glass of wine for his brother, and it didn't matter." By the way, what happened when you just said that you thought it was strange to watch the show?"

"I think it seems to be talking about our family." Huang Qiang widened his eyes, "Brother, this play is our military family in Anyang. They said that they had a very difficult life in Anyang, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was kind and tried his best to get them back from Anyang. After returning to Qinghe, they lived a very happy life. An old couple there took two daughters-in-law, two grandchildren, and two sons along with the army to expedition. Do you think this is exactly the same as our family's situation?"

"It's just a coincidence. We two are just a captain, and we only have one or two thousand people under our command. We don't have a reputation. Who knows us?" Huang Gang said chuckling.

Huang Qiang nodded: "That's right, but I really miss them. I don't know how they are doing now. If it's really like the ones in the play, it would be great if we die outside. Even if we die outside, they will have no worries about food and clothing. Brother, what's going on in Anyang? I have a bad feeling. Did you notice that Bian Wenkang has never come back? Didn't he say he went to Anyang to move our military family here? Is there something wrong with Anyang?"

Huang Gang shook his head. He naturally didn't know the final result of these things. Bian Wenkang's personal guards who were released by Bian Wenhao were ordered to be killed by Bian Wushuang when they returned to the camp. The matter of Anyang's military family returning to Qinghe was concealed to death.

The two brothers were speechless and drank in a depressed manner. In fact, the military rules of Bian's troops were strict. In the past, they could not see drinking in the army like this. However, now the city of Kunling County is extremely chaotic. Bian Wushuang has not shown up for many days. Everyone is confused about the future. The military rules have long been relaxed. They have their own plans. Otherwise, the soldiers who climbed up the city wall and listened to the local accents and music to watch the outside acting would have been severely punished.

A soft knock on the door sounded outside, and Huang Qiang said impatiently: "What's the matter? As long as it's not a Mingren who called him, don't bother us for anything else."

"The lieutenant, it's not that Mingren has called him, it's that Xia Ermao has returned."

Huang Qiang was stunned. Xia Ermao was a whistle leader under his command. A rope fell down from the city two days ago and ran away.

"Didn't that bastard run away? Why are you back? Who let him in? I have to cut these bastards." Huang Qiang jumped up angrily, rushed over with a knife, and opened the door with a loud bang.

Xia Ermao stood timidly in front of the door, and several people stood in the darkness behind him.

"Xia Ermao, do you dare to come back?" Huang Qiang said angrily.

"Captain, I don't want to do it either!" Xia Ermao said in a crying voice, "It's not okay if you don't come back. The brothers didn't open the city gate, they pulled us back with ropes."

"You?" Huang Qiang laughed in anger: "Why, Ming Jun won't accept you, and you'll drive you out?"

"No." Xia Ermao said: "I want us to bring one person back to meet the two captains."

"See us?" Huang Qiang was stunned.

In the shadow behind Xia Ermao, a man in a cloak came out, his voice trembling, "Qianzi."

Suddenly hearing this familiar voice, Huang Qiang was stunned. After a while, with a sound of noise, the knife in his hand fell to the ground. He reached out and rubbed his eyes, believing that he was not an illusion, he immediately shouted: "Brother, brother, come out soon."

Huang Gang rushed to the door like a wind, standing side by side with Huang Qiang. Looking at the person who was also trembling with tears on the edge of Xia Ermao, he was stunned for a moment. After a while, the two brothers knelt down at the same time, "Dad!"

Huang Yishan walked forward with some difficulty, holding his two sons in his arms with one hand, tears falling like rain.

When I arrived in the Ming army earlier, I heard that my two sons were still alive, so I was overjoyed. At this moment, I finally saw two living sons standing in front of me. For a moment, I could not control my emotions.

Huang Gang held his father's hand tightly and returned to the house. Huang Qiang stayed outside and whispered a few instructions to the guards. Then he came back and closed the door tightly.

"Dad, mother is okay, are everyone in the family?" Huang Gang asked impatiently.

"Okay, all are good." Huang Yishan nodded repeatedly, "Better than before. It's great that you are still alive. I heard people say you are here before, and I can't believe it."

Huang Yishan looked at his two sons. Compared to his youthfulness when he joined the army, both of them have become much more calm now. They are still very thin when they left, but now they are all big waists and round arms, and a strong hero.

"Dad, I'm watching the next drama I'm acting today. Are you talking about our family?" Huang Qiang asked repeatedly. He was just confused before, but now he has believed it after seeing me.

"That's right." Huang Yishan nodded affirmatively: "We were in Anyang two years ago, and life was worse than death. A thatched hut with air leakage was our place to stay. The big kid was seriously ill two years ago and almost couldn't be saved. God was pitiful and finally saved his life. It was not until last year that I braved my wife and son back to Qinghe with my courage, and finally lived a good life."

The sad expression on his face slowly became joyful, "Now we have a big house that has three entry, and the family has 60 acres of land. There are two cows and three mules at home. Your mother raised four pigs, one of which was a sow. When I left, the sow laid eleven cubs, but unfortunately two died. There were dozens of chickens at home. Now the weather is getting warmer, and the chickens are more diligent in laying eggs. Your two babies can eat an egg every day and their bodies are slowly getting back. Your wife was so thin that she was almost blown away by the wind in the past two years. In the past few months, her face finally had some color, just missing you tightly. When she talked about you, she was crying."

Huang Yishan said in a tactile manner, Huang Gang and Huang Qiang were also crying their eyes and their bodies were trembling slightly.

"Why are you here?" Huang just couldn't calm down his emotions. His family was well, and there was no better news than this.

"You are now an official." Huang Yishan looked at his son, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because I was the first to run back to Qinghe from Anyang, the superiors valued me very much. Now I am the head of Qinghe County, and I have a salary of ten taels of silver a month. My main thing is to patrol around and help the An family of the military who came back from Anyang to establish a career. This time, he was ordered to come and say that you two brothers are still alive, so I will persuade you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Facing his son, Huang Yishan had nothing to hesitate and said straightforwardly.

The two brothers looked at each other, and from the moment they saw their father, they understood what it meant to send their father over.

"What happened in Anyang?" Huang Gang asked.

"Don't you know?" Huang Yishan was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized: "I understand. General Bian understands the news! Anyang has long been surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. General Bian Wenhao and Zhu Yi County Magistrate surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Nearly 200,000 military families in Anyang have been relocating back since the end of last year. Now most of them have returned to their hometowns. By the way, the six eastern counties in the east, four counties in Jiangnan, Xinning and Quanzhou, and these places are now the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Son, the general trend is the trend and the people's will, you two cannot be confused!"
