"Brother De, a fellow villager in front of him blocked the road and asked him to find you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xingde narrowed his eyes and looked at the turn of the road ahead. There were indeed some people dressed in fellow villagers waiting there. He drove forward with some confusion in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

"Zhu, General Zhu, do you still remember the civilian woman? When my house was with you, I stopped you and cried."

In order to let Zhu Xingde see her face clearly, the woman hurriedly took off her headscarf while speaking and exposed her entire face.

And when I mentioned the crying, my chapped cheeks turned red as I spoke.

To be honest, Zhu Xingde no longer remembers who this person is. He has seen too many people these days and has encountered countless things. He doesn't have the energy to pay attention to small things like a woman crying and making fun of her.

But Zhu Xingde looked at the woman who was leading the way, and then the innocent faces behind the woman, and still nodded slightly.

The woman suddenly became happy, and her tone and expression became colorful:

"Oh, General Zhu, you really remember the civilian woman.

Well, that's right? We men were with you at the beginning. I heard that they not only saved their lives, but also had no chance of success. They were left in the Tan family army and ate official food.

My man wrote to me and said he was a little boss, and he was in charge of more than 20 people.

I was so happy that I was so happy that I wiped my tears, but then I thought that he would earn military pay and return home to build a new house, but I couldn't sleep..."

An old man behind the woman snatched the words:

“There are also my youngest son.

The kid wrote to him, saying that he would send clothes after the Tan family army had enough food and could not prepare well in the future.

So we all gathered together and thought about it, and thank you in person no matter how we thought about it.

If you hadn't had your eyes so good that you could still have the ability to go into battle to kill enemies, how could you have the good days today?

You don’t know that we used to be ordinary people in the mountains, and our lives were blocked and we didn’t look good. We had to lower our heads when we walked in the village. But now we were just looking at us at the foot of the mountain.”

"Yes, yes, I just want to wait for you at this fork in the road and say thank you."

Zhu Xingde was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this was the reason for finding him.

He smiled: "Have you received your letter from home?"

"I received it. The army came out to buy pickled vegetables two days ago. Isn't our village close? I helped me send me a letter. The letter we read was specially called."

"That's good. The war is going to last for three months, and the letter from home is worth ten thousand gold. You know they are safe and better than anything else."

Zhu Xingde thought he could leave with a few words of encouragement.

But the woman who spoke first did not let Zhu Xingde leave. “General Zhu, don’t hurry to rush, you can wait a moment.”

After saying that, he reached behind his back and made a move, as if he was trying to tell something.

Suddenly, several fellow villagers sent representatives to stuff several packages into Zhu Xingde's arms.

Zhu Xingde instinctively held the tiger gun in his hand, almost hurting these fellow villagers.

He really didn't expect that the fellow villagers could be so enthusiastic that they could stuff them into their arms.

"It's not valuable, please take it."

"This is not done."

The woman was anxious: "What can't be done? No, it must be done. It's not something valuable. It's just the fur that we have saved. Don't refuse, this is the intention. If you think it's not good-looking, you'll tell others that this is dry food. We will never say it out. No one knows, you should accept it soon."

Zhu Xingde had to recruit several people and signaled his subordinates to return the packages to his fellow villagers one by one.

He smiled and said, "My fellow villagers, I will accept everyone's wishes, and forget about the fur. The men of your family and children can have a promising future are not my credit. They dare to fight and fight, which means that I did not see the wrong person at the beginning. I am very happy for you."

After saying that, I can’t delay any more, Zhu Xingde got on the horse again.

Several subordinates stopped the fellow villagers and directed the team to continue moving forward.

Zhu Xingde rode his horse and waved to the families.

So the fellow villagers did not give out the gift in the end, and could only watch the team pass by.

"What a great person." The woman murmured.

"It's different from those officials we've heard of in the past, and they also speak nicely."

"Mom, what Jun Ye said about the war fire for three months, what does it mean to pay ten thousand gold letters from home?"

"It means good things. Big kid, wait for your father to earn military salary and take it home, and your mother will send you to study. Then you ask what the sir means and come back to tell her."

A child of a few years old was wearing a patched cotton jacket with patches. He smiled and bent his eyes and clapped his hands, "I want to say this to the gentleman. Jun Ye said it in person."

And the above is just an episode in between.

Along the way, there are many small episodes like this.

"Are you the military master who came back from the border? Just got off the battlefield?"

"yes."

Then everyone was excited when they saw the villagers on the roadside.

The old man waved his hands and shouted, "Carry hot water quickly."

The wooden barrels filled with hot water were picked up by the fellow villagers and enthusiastically invited everyone in the team to fill the water bag with hot water.

Zhu Xingde glanced at several fires on the roadside, and there were large pots of water boiling on the fire, and several buckets of cold water were placed aside.

He looked around again, and at first glance, there was a bare wasteland.

It is probably eight hours before the nearest village can be reached.

It seems that these fellow villagers are carrying water, pots, and firewood to wait here.

Just to let them drink hot water in cold weather.

Just in case, when the person in the team who was quietly inspecting the water nodded to him, to be honest, at this moment, if anyone is not moved, he is not a human being.

"June, please sit down and cook the fire to warm up. We bring a lot of buckets, and it's enough for feeding animals."

Zhu Xingde took the bowl handed by his fellow villager, looked at the hot water vapor and thought, what is hot is not the body, but the heart.

If this scene had not happened to him, he would not have dared to imagine that the people would be able to thank them so much.

"Uncle, when our team of people passes, don't wait for other teams on the side of the road. Each team that evacuated one after another will set off with enough rations and water. There is no need to drink hot ones, really. After all, I see that this place is far from where you live, and there is no village or shop in front of you. It is not safe for you to wait here and go back to go home at night."

The old patriarch who took the lead smiled honestly:

"It's okay, our group of people are here in turn. There is nothing unsafe to build a shack that can block the wind and burn the fire.

We, the wild beasts in Baitou Mountain, are famous for never coming down to harm people, just walk more roads.

The extra roads you have taken are nothing compared to your desperate efforts to kill the enemy on the battlefield. It is because you don’t have to be close to each other here, so I thought of such a way to thank the military men.

I also say the most heartfelt words, although the words in his heart are usually never told to others.

As a commoner, he didn't care who was the emperor, but he was very concerned about whether the foreigners would be the emperor. That would definitely not work. His desire to be loyal is absolutely sincere.

So the Tan Family Army and the Li Family Army, and the soldiers who came to his post to rest in front of him did not let foreigners invade or let foreigners sit on him as a mighty emperor. Then he could not be an exaggeration to thank him no matter how much he was.

At this time, Zhu Xingde leaned against the counter, looking at his subordinates holding hot dry food and hot soup and talking about what they had to do when they came home, and a look of relaxation appeared on his face.

It seemed that until this moment, he could not hear the sound of the horn.

Before, he always felt that he could hear the horns when he had tinnitus.

It was not until then that I realized that the war was really over.

"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Why are you not in a hurry to go back to the house to dream?"

Zhu Xingde and Luo Junxi said: "I think about this battle. Although it is difficult to fight, the people in the north can be safe for many years. I will also pay so many war horses, gold and silver, and life will be better."

Luo Junxi said: "Not only to the north, as we win this battle, the south will gradually become thunderous and rainy. I have analyzed it, look... Hey? Brother-in-law, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He had to analyze the elder brother-in-law. The south was just a fun place, and it was slightly different from the ambitions of the foreign tribes in the north. If he couldn't take it, the rebel prince would send troops to plan for the throne. There was constant small friction in order to disperse our troops. Now the situation is over...

Zhu Xingde was scared and hurriedly left.

His little brother-in-law can tell a lot of theories no matter what he is doing now.

You said that the best future for the imperial examination is to enter the Hanlin Academy, a good Hanlin seedling, who followed General Tan's counselor all day long in the last few days, and was almost accepted as his apprentice.

When he got up the next day, Zhu Xingde encountered another unexpected thing.

The people in the inn asked him out, and there were ten yamen runners waiting outside.

When he saw Zhu Xingde, he told him concisely that they were runners who were sent by officials from this city to deliver letters to the border soldiers.

Zhu Xingde hurriedly asked someone to pick up the letter.

Before he left, he took away many letters from people.

Unexpectedly, he was so thoughtful that he even sent a team of people to help deliver the letter. This would save him a lot of trouble.

Zhu Xingde gave it to him along with letters from nearby cities, but unexpectedly he was rejected.

"General Zhu, the next way you will have a messenger to send a message to the city."

"Okay, that's great. The war is going to last for three months, and the letters of the family will be worth ten thousand gold. In this way, every city will be arranged so that the letters will not be lost."
