Nine days alone

Fang Zhong didn't break his promise, and indeed held a three-day banquet in Deshenglou, the best restaurant in Zhaonan County. All soldiers from the First Army and the Third Battalion who were not involved in military affairs could eat meat and drink in large bowls. Someone pays the bill again, so they don't need to worry about it.

This also allowed them to see Fang Zhong's wealth by accident. He booked the Desheng Building and held a banquet for three days. The total consumption was not a small amount.

A soldier of the Red Tiger Army who is sensitive to money did the calculation for Fang Zhong. The meals and drinks for these three days alone cost thousands of taels of silver, which can be said to be extremely wasteful. Only a guy who takes money seriously can do such a thing.

However, waste is a waste, but it also earned Fang Zhong enough popularity.

Those who had been slightly dissatisfied with his young age and seniority ate in Desheng Building for three days, and all the dissatisfaction in their stomachs disappeared immediately.

These three days can be said to make the soldiers of the first army and the third battalion very happy, while those who are performing military duties outside are lamenting, secretly thinking that they are not lucky.

However, Fang Zhong only went to the Desheng Building to socialize on the first day, and stayed in the barracks for the next two days.

Looking at the things belonging to Qianhu that had just been sent from the internal affairs warehouse in the military camp, Fang Zhong was extremely excited and very restless.

Armor, war horses, spears, swords, etc. are all in accordance with the configuration of Qianhu, which is much better than that of ordinary soldiers and centurions. The armor alone is made of tungsten steel, and its defense is amazing. Even Fang Zhong needed to rely on the Jinghong Sword to break through.

And the war horse is an incomparable steed, a dark nightmare horse that can travel thousands of miles a day.

Fang Zhong doesn't care much about spears and swords. He has the Jinghong Sword in his hand. Although these weapons are good, they are also dispensable.

Among them, what excited Fang Zhong the most was a purple-red box, made of sandalwood, in a square shape, with strange patterns engraved on it, and wisps of fragrance floating.

In the wooden box is a pill, but the size of a finger, the whole body is emerald green, with streamers shining, there are wisps of emerald light circulating, and vigorous vitality is growing, making the surrounding weeds grow taller at once, the rich medicine The fragrance is full of tents, refreshing.

"This is..." Fang Zhong stared straight at the emerald green pill, and shouted in his heart: "Regeneration Pill, it's really a regeneration pill, and now the severed arm of Xiaoyu can regenerate."

The Regeneration Pill is a special item for officials of the Red Tiger Army with more than a thousand households. It is extremely rare, even a thousand households can only receive one, and it is regarded as a treasure.

After all, as thousands of households of the Red Tiger Army, they are all powerful innate masters, absolute powerhouses. It is indeed a pity if they are injured and become disabled in battle, and they cannot fight on the battlefield again for life, and this rebirth Dan can give them a second chance at life.

Generally, thousands of households of the Red Tiger Army will cherish and store the Regeneration Pill when they receive it, and will never use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, more than half of the reason Fang Zhong joined the Red Tiger Army was for this regeneration pill. No matter how precious it was, he couldn't keep it by himself. He needed to bring it back to Ningcang County so that Fang Yu's broken arm could be regenerated.

"Now is not the time. Things are complicated in the military. I have just been promoted to Qianhu. There are too many things to deal with. Let's wait." Fang Zhong thought for a while and frowned slightly. He had no time left for the time being. , can only wait until the New Year to go back.

......

Time flies, time flies.

A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire Red Tiger Army has begun to get busy. At this time, the end of the new year is approaching, and there are many things to do, because many people will go home when the new year comes, and they will not take care of things in the army. Handle it well, but you can't go back when the time comes.

In the Qianhu camp, Fang Zhong stretched his waist, feeling his arms were a little sore, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It's not easy to be a Qianhu, just these military documents make me tired enough."

On Fang Zhong's desk, thick documents were piled up in a pile, fully two feet high, all filled with dense messages, all of which needed to be reviewed and approved by Fang Zhong, especially when the end of the year was approaching. There are a lot of documents, which is very scary.

Tired Although a little bit tired, Fang Zhong felt indescribably happy when he thought that he would be able to go home in a few days.

Touching his chin, Fang Zhong couldn't help thinking: "I'm afraid my parents won't know me when they see me, hehe, I've changed a lot this year."

Calculating the time, he has been in the Red Tiger Army for a year, and he is already 16 years old now. He has grown a lot, about 1.8 meters, with very strong muscles, and although his face is not handsome, it is also water chestnut. Clearly, with a heroic spirit.

Compared with him when he joined the Red Tiger Army, Fang Zhong has grown from a boy to a real man, with the unique temperament of a man.

Squeak!

At this moment, the camp tent was pushed away, Xueyan came in from the outside, saluted and said: "My subordinate Xueyan, I pay my respects to Lord Qianhu."

"I told you that you don't need to salute when no one is around, and you just don't listen." Fang Zhong said long ago that Xue Yan and Liu Yuan don't need to treat him as their boss when no one is around, but they don't listen to him. I had no choice but to rush forward, "Get up quickly, if you do this again, I won't let me live."

"Hee hee, why are you not allowed to live? Isn't it just a salute? Others don't want to salute you the same way." Xueyan smiled, there was no outsider here, and she naturally revealed her daughter's family. one side.

"That's different. I don't feel anything when other people salute me, but if you salute me, I will always feel uncomfortable."

The speaker had no intention, but he listened intently, Fang Zhong's words made Xue Yan blush suddenly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Inviting Xueyan to sit down, Fang Zhong's heart was moved, and he asked: "By the way, the end of the year is approaching, you should go home too, right?"

Xueyan's expression darkened, as if she had touched a sore spot, she hesitated before saying, "I have no relatives in my family, so I don't need to go back, it's the same for Chinese New Year in the army, with so many brothers by my side, it's better than going back." Much stronger alone."

Fang Zhong was taken aback when he heard it, and secretly regretted it, but at this time the words had already been said, so he could only comfort him: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a question."

"It's nothing, it's all happened a long time ago." Xueyan smiled slightly, and said in relief: "Let him pass the past, I'm living a good life now, isn't it?"

"Well, you are the No. [-] military beauty of our Red Tiger Army. Those who pursue you are almost lining up outside the barracks. It's really good."

"Hey, are you hurting me on purpose? When did you line up outside the barracks? Those people are all gangsters. Looking at the women makes my heart itch. There are hundreds and thousands more waiting for me." It's not uncommon." Xue Yan spat, giving Fang Zhong a blank look.

Fang Zhong smiled, and couldn't help teasing: "Hehe, that's right, you are naturally not a rare beauty, but you can't be too high-sighted, be careful that you won't be able to marry in the future."

"If you can't get married, you can't get married. If you really can't get married, then I will depend on you for the rest of your life." Xue Yan blurted out, but just after she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong.

What I said seems a bit too ambiguous.

Immediately, the beauty Xueyan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she lowered her head almost to her chest. That pretty look was rare, and Fang Zhong's eyes lit up when she saw it.

The atmosphere in the camp seemed a bit ambiguous, the lonely man and widow, young and vigorous, the more silent the more something seemed wrong, both of them were a little embarrassed.

In the end, it was Fang Zhong who broke the silence and said, "In a few days, I will go back to Ningcang County. This time I will go back for half a month. When I come back, I will bring you some specialties from our Ningcang County."

"En." Xueyan agreed, but was obviously absent-minded.

"Also, during the time I'm not here, you'll have to do more of the military affairs, and those bastards are not easy to control. If I leave, I might blow up the sky." Fang Zhong asked again, and suddenly It was found that Xueyan's expression seemed a little gloomy.

Xueyan was born in a pitiful life. She was lonely and lonely since she was a child. She has been self-reliant since she was very young, and she is very strong.

This also directly affected her life. Her resolute character and loneliness made her choose to join the Red Tiger Army, and then she came to her current position step by step.

At this moment, her expression was gloomy and pitiful, but Fang Zhong blamed himself for bringing up her past, and couldn't help sighing, saying: "Xueyan, the past has passed, and time can't go back. We can only look ahead and seize the present."

Xueyan's eyes lit up, and she raised her head: "Well, I understand, it's just..."

She didn't say any more, she got up without saying a word, her back was slender, she looked a little lonely and lonely, and she walked outside numbly.

Looking at Xueyan's lonely back, Fang Zhong felt a sudden pain in his heart, and said without thinking: "Xueyan, why don't you come back to Nanjun with me."

Xueyan suddenly turned around, stared at Fang Zhong with sparkling eyes, and asked cautiously: "You just said that you and I will call Nanjun to celebrate the New Year, is that true?"

The words spoken, the water poured out, Fang Zhong only now knows that impulse is the devil.

What he said just now was a bit ambiguous. Letting a girl go home with him to celebrate the New Year, this would make people have some reverie in the era of open society in his previous life, let alone in this world, if he said this, it was tantamount to being with Xue. The geese got entangled.

However, seeing Xueyan's expectant and nervous eyes, Fang Zhong sighed silently and nodded.

Such a girl has been lonely since she was a child. What she lacks most is a sense of security and the care of others. He really can't bear to refuse.

Xueyan smiled happily, her face was filled with indescribable joy, innocently like a child.

She bounced away, walked a few steps before turning around, and said to Fang Zhong: "I'll go back and get ready first, call me when I leave."
