Chapter 521 Take the Wind, Wash the Dust and Dig the Wine

Lan Tian hugged her daughter and walked towards Lu Lingqi, and Lan Qing leaned against his ear like a little lazy cat.

"Gao Yuan said that the lord will be very busy today, and I haven't asked them to prepare dinner yet." Lu Lingqi looked ashamed, and shouted to the side after speaking: "Yue'er, it's time to prepare dinner."

"Yes..." The maid replied from afar.

There was a smile on Lan Tian's face: "Boping is ready in the barracks of the siege army. Let's go to his place to eat a big meal at night. Boyang, you also go with him."

"Okay, father."

Lan Yuan replied with a loud voice. Although he was only 14 years old, he was already eight feet tall, completely surpassing Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian, ​​and he looked like an out-and-out adult.

"What are you going to do in the barracks if you have nothing to do? The entrapment army never engages in such things." Lu Lingqi frowned slightly.

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Song Chen has made a lot of contributions to Hanzhong Li. Today he returns to Guangzhou City. Naturally, Boping will do his best as a landlord."

"So that's the case, but this is your men's business, I won't go as a woman." Lu Lingqi shook her head.

"How can Xiaojun be a simple woman? You are our heroine, and the real master of the fallen army. Don't you want to meet the old subordinates?" Lan Tian continued to invite.

Lu Lingqi's eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, "Isn't mine the husband's? Besides, the fallen army has no husband, and they can't have the current situation. The concubine has already informed Boping to let them stop calling me the lord. The husband belongs to Xuande now." Jiaozhou Mu, it's not good for this kind of thing to spread."

Lan Tian said: "Brother-in-law's character, can you still trust me? He won't doubt us."

"Of course there's nothing to say about his character, it's just that my husband's personality is a bit out of the ordinary. If he is attacked by a villain with this matter, General Liu will be troubled in vain, right?" Lu Lingqi analyzed.

Lan Tian was surprised that Lu Lingqi said such words, so he stared at the other party and said meaningfully: "Xiaojun is very powerful now, and he sees problems so profoundly."

Lu Lingqi smiled sweetly: "Following my husband all day, my concubine should have made some progress, besides, Boyang is already this big."

"Boyang is indeed growing fast, and he may be as tall as my uncle in the future." Lan Tian nodded.

Seeing that Lan Yuan, who was holding a halberd, was a good-looking man, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but suggest to Lan Tian: "Husband, I heard that Zhong Ling learned how to fight in Jiangling, but Bo Yang still stayed with me. Will it delay him? You see With his figure and appearance, he will not look like a civil servant sitting in court in the future..."

Lan Tian was startled when he heard this, and then replied with a smile: "Young gentleman, why do you judge people by appearance? Have you forgotten Zhuge Kongming? Boyang is not as tall and mighty as him now, and Kongming is also tall and mighty, and he didn't fight in battle."

Lu Lingqi thought for a while, and muttered: "It's not too much difference. Zhuge's military master's ancestor didn't have such a strong general as Uncle Boyang..."

"Uh... my husband is speechless, but Boyang's situation is different from Zhongling's. Where can I find another teacher like General Guan for him? Boyang's future uncle doesn't have time to teach this... "Lan Tian smiled wryly and shook his head.

Lan Yuan'er is good. He listened to the conversation of his parents for eight minutes, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "I don't envy Brother Ji for being able to stay with you. Although General Guan's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, father's strategy and wisdom It is rare in the world, mother can teach children martial arts, and Uncle Gao can teach me how to train and use soldiers, so the second brother is at a disadvantage."

This sentence has the same effect as the proverb, that is, 'three skunks will be better than one Zhuge Liang'.

Lan Yuan is calm, steady, sharp, and gentle. It is also for this reason that Lan Tian thinks highly of him, and deliberately keeps him by his side to train him.

If Lan Yuan was asked to worship Zhuge Liang or Xu Shu, not only Lu Lingqi at home would not agree, even Gao Shun would have a hard time going through it, because he regarded Lan Yuan as a little Lu Bu both openly and secretly.

Although Lan Yuan is fast in size, his actual age is the same as that of a junior high school student in later generations. Lan Tian asked Lu Lingqi to teach martial arts at home. Occasionally, Gao Shun would take him around the barracks of the trapped army, and he took time to teach him the courses of Guangzhou Academy. At the level of Lantian's postgraduate graduate students in agriculture, no matter it is Confucianism, Mathematics and other subjects, it is not a problem.

"Husband, I think Boyang has grown up, arrange a place for him to practice and practice?"

Lu Lingqi's proposal was not a whim, she often communicated with Lan Ji to understand the situation, when Lan Yuan heard that Lan Ji was often with Guan Yu, learned the formation today, and Guan Yu would teach him tricks tomorrow, although Lan Yuan behaved very calmly, but I can't hide the envy in my heart.

After listening to Lu Lingqi's suggestion, Lan Tian suddenly thought about it. Many children at this age can stand alone, so there is no need for him to train them to be impeccable before they can be used.

The so-called late bloomers in later generations, but in the silk scripts of this era, it is a late bloomer.

Lan Tian pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly to Lan Yuan: "Boyang, I will ask Gao Yuan to enroll you in the guard team, and you will go where I am from now on."

"Wei." Lan Yuan was overjoyed.

"Come with me now, to the barracks of the trapped army, your Uncle Gao is still waiting." Lan Tian had a kind face.

Lan Yuan turned around and asked, "Is mother going too?"

Lu Lingqi took Lan Qing away from Lan Tian's arms, gently shook her body and said, "The barracks are always a man's world, and Qing'er and I stay at home. Although your father is not as famous as General Guan, he is still capable of maneuvering." He is a great hero, from now on, we must study hard by his side, and our achievements in the future will not be lower than those of Zhong Ling."

"Save it baby." Lan Yuan nodded.

"Xiaojun really doesn't have to go. Anyway, there is no wine in Boping, and we will be back soon."

Lan Tian immediately separated from his wife and daughter, and walked out of the State Shepherd's Mansion side by side with Lan Yuan. The carriage was prepared by Gao Yuan as a spare, and the three of them rode out of the central government area where they had dispersed.

Not long after, Lan Tian stopped his horse in front of the army barracks in the military area, Gao Shun and Xu Shuang had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Lan Yuan followed Gao Shun to come here many times, but today's feeling is very different. He is wearing light armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes are majestic.

"Sir, the young master is here too?" Xu Shuang greeted with a smile.

Gao Shun saw that Lan Yuan was unusual, he leaned against Lan Tian and whispered, "Sir, Bo Yang is..."

"Boyang will be my bodyguard from today on." Lan Tian replied.

"Good thing, great thing." Gao Shun couldn't be happier.

Gao Shun then led the crowd into the barracks. The atmosphere in the barracks was tense with swords, guns, swords and halberds. The unique masculine aura permeated the air above the barracks. Song Chen, Lu Tie, Chu Qing and others had already taken their seats. When they saw Lan Tian coming, they rushed Get up and salute.

Lan Tian was not polite, and sat directly on the main seat, while Lan Yuan and Gao Yuan stood on the left and right.

"There are no outsiders here, you all sit down quickly, it's a pity Boping you don't have wine here." Lan Tian joked.

Gao Shun smiled and clapped his hands: "How can there be no wine if you want it, sir? Dig me twenty jars of good wine from the camp."

Lan Tian was puzzled when he heard that, Gao Shun asked someone to dig wine?

Chapter 522 Congratulations, Gao Shun and Three Respects

"Boping, why is there still so much wine in your barracks?" Lan Tian joked to the left and right, he felt that Gao Shun was a little abnormal today.

Gao Shun is strict with self-interest, insisted on not drinking alcohol for decades, and gradually formed a rule in the army. When he was eating in the army, there would be no alcohol in the barracks, but today he broke the precept by himself.

Xu Shuang explained with a smile: "Not long after we moved into the military area, the general heard a folk prescription from somewhere, and asked people to seal up the wine jar and bury it underground, saying that we would dig it out later when there was a happy event. More mellow."

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard it, why did Xu Shuang say that this reason felt so familiar?

"Song Chen, you have a lot of face." Xu Shuang patted Song Chen on the shoulder.

"This... is this appropriate?" Song Chen was flattered.

Gao Shun walked from the door with a frown, muttering, "Old Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? This is not a folk recipe, it's the way my master taught me to hide wine."

Everyone stared at Lan Tian in unison, Lan Tian showed a puzzled expression, "Did I tell you?"

Gao Shun sat down in the first vacant seat at the bottom of Lantian, and replied solemnly: "Sir, you may have forgotten because of the busy schedule. When Bo Yang was just born, Li Yang came to congratulate him with home-brewed wine. You told everyone that if you give birth to a daughter in the future , will bury dozens of altars of good wine in the garden at home, and dig it out to drink when my daughter gets married in the future, it seems to have a nice name, but I have forgotten it now."

"I just said it casually. You actually remembered it for so many years. The name of the wine is Nv'erhong, but Boping, don't you have two sons in your family? Why do you want to bury this Nv'erhong?" Lan Tian listened to Gao Shun reminiscing about the past, Ten years have passed without knowing it.

Gao Shun smiled and said kindly, "I don't have a daughter in my family, but Qing'er was born around the completion of Guangzhou, so I decided to bury hundreds of altars for you."

"Bo Ping has a heart." Lan Tian responded with a smile, then realized something was wrong, and then asked, "Qing'er is only two years old, what is your drink today..."

Gao Shun looked at Lan Tian awkwardly, looked at Lan Yuan behind him and said: "I am mainly happy today. Although Boyang is not weak, but Mr. is willing to use it today, it means that you have grown up in your heart. I want to respect him for the first time in his life." a glass of wine."

After hearing this, Lan Tian said in his heart, good guy, Gao Boping, you are a bit too provocative.

"Boyang, you're really proud of yourself. Uncle Gao is going to break the precept for you." Lan Tian turned to look at his son.

Lan Yuan clasped his fists to Gao Shun and saluted: "Uncle Gao is noble in nature, and I wish to be a role model for life. I am now my father's bodyguard, so I dare not accept your toast, and you don't have to break the precept for me."

Gao Shun smiled wryly and said: "People are different. Boyang, you have inherited your master's calmness, and you will be the son-in-law of Xuande Duke in the future. Your future achievements will be limitless. How can you learn from me as a martial artist and a soldier?" ? You can still drink in moderation."

"Zi said, 'When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and choose the bad ones and change them.' My father told me to absorb everything and choose the good ones to follow. Naturally, I have to learn Uncle Gao's good habits." Lan Yuan bowed again.

"Uh..." Gao Shun suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Lan Tian frowned and said, "Both you and Gao Yuan find a place to sit. What kind of guards do you need in the barracks of the fallen army? Uncle Gao has worked so hard not to let you down, as long as you control everything, you can drink as long as you don't get drunk."

"Wei." Seeing his father speak, Lan Yuan immediately clasped his fists in response.

Gao Yuan saluted, and walked down with Lan Yuan. The seats in the barracks are very particular, and they must be seated strictly according to the position and seniority. This kind of system that pays attention to superiority and inferiority in any occasion allows the generals to establish themselves well. authority.

Lu Tie, who was sitting next to Xu Shuang on the left, immediately let the general who was under him take the initiative to give up his position to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan walked over naturally, turned to Lan Yuan and said, "My lord, you can sit next to me in a while."

Lan Yuan was often taken to the barracks by Gao Shun, and the generals of the army who fell into the army knew him very well, and he was the eldest son of Lan Tian, ​​so even if Gao Yuan helped him, the rest of them would have no objection.

"Uh...I..." Lan Yuan knew the way, he looked at Gao Shun and Lan Tian and couldn't make up his mind.

"Give Lanyuan a seat at the bottom. The recruits who have no merit must start from the most basic. Being able to sit here is considered to be in the honor of Boping."

When Lan Tian spoke, his eyes were on Xu Shuang. He was worried that Gao Shun would break the rules because of doting, which was not suitable for the discipline-oriented soldiers.

"Ah, this..." Xu Shuang swallowed, and asked Gao Shun for instructions with his eyes.

Although Xu Shuang is the adjutant of the army that fell into the formation, Gao Shun, the leader, is the absolute authority.

Gao Shun treated Lan Yuan and Lan Ji better than his own sons, but he remained strict at critical moments, and he solemnly replied: "Mr. is right, young people should be down-to-earth, and I also started as a big soldier. Boyang set up a seat at the bottom."

"That's good." Xu Shuang nodded in response.

After Gao Yuan and Lan Yuan sat down, the noisy room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Lan Tian at the same time.

"What do you all see me doing? Today is to clean up Song Chen, Boping, this is the territory of the fallen army, and you need to take charge of the overall situation." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Gao Shun nodded solemnly and got up, and told the generals in the barracks: "The army who fell into the battle has come back to life, and its glory is even more brilliant than before. This is due to the master's painstaking efforts for many years. It is rare for him to come to the station today. Everyone should respect the master first."

"Mr. Respect."

The main general Gao Shun took the lead to demonstrate, and the rest of the generals stood up and echoed, because they were all men fighting on the battlefield, their momentum was like a towering tree, rising from the ground.

Lan Tian smiled and drank the wine in the bowl, then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, "Daughter's red burial is not enough time, but it has more flavor than ordinary wine. The army who fell into the army has today's honor, but it is really yourselves After earning it back, we sat down and continued to listen to General Gao’s orders.”

"Wei." The generals were in harmony again.

"The second bowl of wine is toast to Song Chen. You have made great achievements in the Battle of Hanzhong. You are worthy of being a soldier brought out by me, Gao Shun, and an elite of the reconnaissance battalion of the fallen army. All the generals in the tent join me in congratulating you." Gao Shun held up the wine. The bowl signaled to everyone.

"Hey." The generals echoed again.

Everyone drank two bowls of wine in a row, Gao Shun picked up the wine bowl and didn't get up this time. He looked at Lan Yuan at the last table and said, "Boyang, the last bowl of uncle Gao respects you, and finally guarded until the chicks spread their wings. You follow Mr. You have to study hard by your side, I wish you son, 'Wen can write to secure the world, and martial arts can set the world.'”

"Definitely live up to the general's high hopes."

Lan Yuan's blood was surging when he heard it, and he picked up the wine bowl and responded forcefully.

Chapter 523 Hearing the bad news, Lantian seeks advice

Because of the low alcohol content, Lan Yuan tasted it for the first time in his life, and he felt like drinking fruit brew, thinking that if he drank too much, he would get drunk?

Seeing that Lan Yuan responded decently, Gao Shun stroked his beard and nodded in appreciation, then waved him to sit down.

"Boping, this bowl of yours is extremely clear, isn't it the same as we drink Nurhong?" Lan Tian joked while looking at Gao Shun's table.

Gao Shun clasped his fists in embarrassment: "It is indeed clear water in my bowl. It has become a habit and I can't change it. I'm really sorry."

Lan Tian smiled and said, "It's okay, I think everyone doesn't mind, but it's a pity that you didn't drink the good wine you buried in the end."

"Watching you drinking makes me happy. If the wine tastes good, I'll ask people to bury more later. When Qing'er gets married, the master will come to me to dig." Gao Shun had another idea.

Lan Tian shook his head slightly: "I'm still going to bury Nurhong myself. We are here today mainly to celebrate Song Chen's achievements, so Boping, your wine can't be called Nurhong."

"Sir, you have learned a lot, why don't you give this wine a name?" Xu Shuang suggested.

Lan Tian raised his head and thought for a while, "Why don't we call it celebration wine?"

"Very good, concise and to the point, all the generals can enjoy themselves today, and whenever there are happy events in the camp in the future, I will dig out some to celebrate." Gao Shun looked at everyone and promised.

After drinking the first few bowls of wine, the atmosphere in the barracks instantly rose, and then the soldiers brought in hot dishes one after another. The dishes served in the army were deliberately selected by Lan Tian and Gao Shun. High in calories and easy to store ingredients, etc. Although the variety does not seem to be many, the taste and hunger are second to none.

During the celebration banquet of the fallen army, apart from toasting to Lantian, most of the generals and schools of the battalions congratulated Song Chen. They recalled the days of fighting together, gradually forgot the existence of Lantian, and let go of the original feeling of restraint, and began to chat in twos and threes. back and forth.

After drinking for three rounds, Gao Shun called Lan Yuan to his side and introduced him to everyone in the venue one by one, which seemed to have a sense of inheritance.

At this time, Lan Tian was discussing with Song Chen about his future whereabouts, so he didn't notice Gao Shun's move.

There is a shortage of positions in the army, and Song Chen only served as Chu Qing's deputy when he came back. Such a result is difficult to explain to Liu Bei, so he took the initiative to apply to go to the north to do business again.

"Mr. attaches so much importance to running a school, and there are many talents in the northern Central Plains. Even if it is not for the purpose of spying on the military, a great talent like Mr. Junqing (Zhao Shuang) is worth investing in manpower for a long time." Song Chen tried his best to fight for it.

Lan Tian shook his head and replied: "Of course I will send people to lurk in the north, but the Lord has warned you not to take risks, so let's give up this idea."

"That's such a pity, this experience is useless..." Song Chen sighed.

Lan Tian lowered his head and tapped his forehead lightly. When Song Chen mentioned the word experience, he suddenly thought of a good place to go.

"I've already thought about where you're going. I'll rest in Guangzhou for a few days first, and I'll notify you to join the job when it's done." Lan Tian said solemnly.

"What do you want me to do, sir?" Song Chen asked.

"I won't let you be a fox this time, how about we be hunters?" Lan Tian said with a mysterious expression.
