Chapter 694 Remember the Drunk Red Mansion
The brilliance of the rising sun brought Tokyo a layer of stream of light, and the gentle sunlight penetrated the mist of early winter and sprinkled on the scenery of all things. The brass bells on the temple pagoda swayed left and right as they hit, and the golden color shone with a metallic luster.
On the streets by the Bianshui River, except for the residents of the city, the common soldiers of the countryside have been summoned to Tokyo to gather in the past few days. They will go north to the Hebei front line in the near future. Some have been early recently, and when they have nothing to do, they go to the city to enjoy the Tokyo landscape.
The Zhang brothers were also wandering on the street with groups of soldiers from three or five. They were wearing military uniforms issued by the Governor's Office of the Five Army, without weapons, but just going to the city to watch the fun.
"The spring and summer season are even more beautiful, and now the flowers and willow branches are all adjusted." said a soldier.
But in Zhang Da's eyes, it is also very beautiful now. The winding rivers, the refreshing brick floors, the tall seven-level pavilions, pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, with beautiful pavilions and the towering inner city towers in the mist. The weather is a bit cold, but there are still many people here, and the bustling bustling is even happier than the festival... Compared to the dilapidated and scarce village, Tokyo seems to be in another world in the sky.
Even Zhang Da was reluctant to step on the fallen leaves on the ground with his boots. The road was very clean and the leaves were not stained with soil.
This was not the first time he came to Tokyo. He was very impressed once many years ago. The feeling was completely different from this time... He was wearing ragged clothes and was dirty all over. He was walking with his head down in the corner. Compared with those on the street, he would unconsciously feel that he was inferior and could not raise his head at all, and he was worried that the officials would drive them away.
But now it is different. Zhang Da and others can look around with their heads raised and their chests up, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital. No one will look down on them. In fact, they soon got used to the awe of the people. Martial artsmen in this era are a special existence.
Moreover, the generals above kept telling them: Brothers are from the official family! Brothers defend the official family, and Tokyo City and the whole world belong to the official family.
Zhang Da said blindly: "It's a bit hard to go into battle, but it's scary, but I think it's good to be with the army..."
At this time, the beautiful sound of the pipa as crisp as pearls and jade came from the small building by the Bianshui River. Several men couldn't help but stop and listen with an intoxicated look on their faces. Everyone didn't understand the rhythm, but they could still hear the nice sound.
A window on the upper floor opened, and a little girl holding a handkerchief smiled and said, "The military man comes in to relieve his fatigue. There are fine wine and beautiful women to accompany him, touch them casually..."
The bachelor Zhang Laosan and other people were immediately flirted with itchy feeling, stretched out their necks to peek inside, curious about what was inside.
Someone said, "The superior said that the army was not allowed to drink in the past few days and went to the kilns. Everyone can let go and have fun."
Zhang Dadao: "I took all the rewards I sent back home last time."
The man just said again: "Go to the battle soon. The royal family will pay the settlement fee. Let's go back and borrow some from General Yu Shi, exchange this tiger skin and come back. If you send the money, you will pay it back."
Several people were excitedly echoed. Zhang Dalang pulled Zhang Laosan and whispered: "My brother won't come out later. How much money is spent on the kiln sister, you can't marry her home. When we come back from Hebei, we will spend money on you to marry a wife. We can sleep every day, but we don't spend money!"
Zhang Laosan kept nodding: "Brother is right!"
...It's a pity that everyone didn't find the ten generals Yu Liang when they went back, so they found Dutou. Dutou was also a passionate young man. After hearing this, he went to visit the kiln with everyone.
Yu Liang drank glass after glass. Because the cup was too small, he picked up the wine pot and took a big mouthful.
"Don't look unhappy. You can't have a happy life before going to war. There is a bitter and cold place in the north." Hongying advised softly, and then called her maid to come over with the pipa. "I'll sing a song for you and drink it slowly. I'll accompany Yu Lang all night tonight."
Yu Liang narrowed his drunken eyes and looked at Hongying's beautiful eyes and red lips, gradually becoming a little addicted.
...A few days later, the purged infantry soldiers drove out of the city gates of the outer city of Tokyo one after another. Many people on the side of the road watched, and it became very lively early in the morning.
A young man riding on the horse still had a bright red rouge lipstick on his face, but he didn't know it. He seemed to be attached to the joy of last night, and he was intoxicated when riding on the horse.
At this time, a brightly dressed woman on the side of the road wiped her tears while shaking her hands and choked: "General, do you still remember Bier who is drunk in the Red Chamber when she is back?"
The woman's dress was a bit vulgar, and when she saw that she was just fucking that, she was suddenly embarrassed. As soon as she came, people immediately noticed the lip marks on his face, and the people burst into laughter. The soldiers couldn't help but smile.
Everyone's face turned red, and they sang loudly: "Grape wine, luminous cup, and the pipa is about to drink. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war since ancient times?"
At this moment, a little girl shouted with joy: "Yu Lang!"
Yu Liang, who was riding a team of infantry, looked at him and hurriedly rode his horse out of the team, jumped off the horse, and led the horse to the front of Xiaoniang: "Why is Erniang coming?"
Xu Erniang had a blushing face and she stood there: "Come and see you off."
Yu Liang looked down at her face and said, "I wanted to say goodbye to you yesterday, so I went outside the old residence of Guo Mansion to ask. You said that you would occasionally go there with Miss Lu to pick medicinal materials, but if you are not here, I guess you are in the palace. I, a ten general, cannot meet the people in the palace."
Xu Erniang was silent for a while, her eyes turned red, and shed a few tears.
Yu Liang stretched out his hand and wiped her tears with his thumb. Xu Erniang's body trembled suddenly, but she did not avoid it.
Xu Erniang choked and said, "I'm very worried about you, I'm afraid of you..."
Yu Liang said: "It is my duty to raise troops for a thousand days to use troops for a while." He said in a deep voice, "I will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and avenge your former Zhao Hu. When I come back, you will not feel sorry for Zhao Hu; people cannot be resurrected by death, and those who are alive still have to let go."
After hearing this, Xu Erniang cried even harder.
At this moment, a general on the roadside turned his head and smiled, singing a long voice: "Cai Shuiqing, the Bian River flows, and the lover is on the shore..."
The troops laughed "haha".
Yu Liang hurriedly said, "My second wife is going back first. I have to hurry up and catch up with the people. There will be too many people in a while and it will be difficult to find."
After saying that, he turned around and turned around, kicked the horse while walking, and turned around. Seeing Xu Erniang looking at him with a gaze, Yu Liang was also a little reluctant to leave. Behind the little girl was the Tokyo city tower and the bustling cityscape, which were looming in the morning mist.
