Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 186 Young General: It's getting late, and the mountains and rivers are already winter

The days at the border in winter are not very long, only four hours at most. The sky darkens early, and the white snow becomes a faint candle that burns forever. Sometimes there is a dim moonlight, so it looks very bright even at night.

The army of Liguo traveled during the day and continued to walk with the faint light at night, and arrived in Liangzhou two days earlier than estimated.

An Qianye had been so anxious that he couldn't sleep during this period, and his hair was falling out like crazy. When he saw Chang Qing, he suddenly felt relieved.

"You are finally here. In the days since you left, although the army of Jiang State has not arrived yet, friction is inevitable. The other side has brought people to try to attack several times, but they have held on every time. It seems that they are trying to estimate the current strength of Liangzhou."

Chang Qing reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "I knew you wouldn't let me down, are you still happy?"

"Of course." An Qianye suddenly smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed. "When I was in the capital, I always heard your name. If you ask those who practice martial arts in the capital, who doesn't want to defend their country on the battlefield like you and become famous?"

Chang Qing did not say anything else, but handed An Qianye a peace amulet and glanced at him unfriendlyly: "This is what my second sister asked me to give to you."

An Qianye was immediately happy when he heard that. He was not afraid of the unfriendly look from his brother-in-law Chang Qing at all. He happily took the amulet and looked at it repeatedly in his palm.

"Is your sister doing well these days?"

"very good "

Seeing him grinning with his big white teeth, Chang Qing explained everything with a numb face, and finally kicked him out of patience: "Put away your worthless look, I have something important to ask you, how are the surrounding villages doing?"

"Basically, most of them have moved out, but there are some elderly people who are unwilling to leave. They say they want to return to their roots and they don't want to make any more trouble at their age."

Chang Qing asked someone to bring him a black cloak, and then he took a few people on horseback to take a look.

Although Liangzhou is desolate, there are many villages near the city of Liangzhou. Now, nine out of ten houses are empty. At dinner time, there are only one or two wisps of smoke rising slowly.

The snow on the road leading to the village was not very deep, and it was obvious that someone was cleaning it regularly.

Chang Qing also stayed in Liangzhou for some time. After defeating the State of Jiang, he led the Xu family army to Yuncheng, which had a rugged and extremely dangerous terrain.

A young man wrapped warmly was sweeping the snow with a bamboo broom. He had a simple and honest face and looked strong. He raised his head when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

"General Xu."

The man shouted with some surprise, and the broom fell to the ground immediately. He clenched his hands, put them to his mouth, blew on them and rubbed them, and then his frozen fingers could move.

"You recognize me." Chang Qing grabbed the horse's reins, then jumped off the horse and threw it to others.

"Of course I recognize him. Not only me, but other people in our village also recognize the general. We haven't seen each other for several years, and the general has become more heroic than ever."

As he was talking, he took out a roasted sweet potato from his arms and stuffed it into Chang Qing's pocket: "I didn't bring anything good with me, General, try it quickly. Last time you praised my sweet potatoes for being sweet, and they are still warm now."

"I still remember that I have been thinking about it for a long time in the past few years."

Chang Qing smiled and broke the sweet potato into two halves, instantly revealing its extremely tempting golden color. A few wisps of white steam rose in this cold winter. He handed the other half to the soldiers behind him.

"There are some in my cellar. I'll go back and roast them." The man was very happy and also said his name.

"Xiao Hu, everyone in the village has moved away, why are you still staying here?"

Xiaohu put his hands in his pockets, curled up slightly, and heard this with a simple smile: "My grandfather is in poor health and doesn't want to leave. After chopping wood in the mountains, he usually feels that he has nothing to do, so he will sweep the snow on the road in the village, thinking that it will be much easier for any neighbor to walk back."

When we arrived at Xiaohu's house, there was a woman and three children there. The woman was cooking in the kitchen, while the children were playing in the yard.

These three children were not afraid of strangers. They were all very fierce and their faces were red from the wind.

"Looks so majestic." Seeing the soldiers behind Chang Qing, they surrounded them and reached out to touch their armor.

During the busy spring season, Xu Jiajun would also help the people around him plant crops. When he saw a child touching the knife he was carrying and even trying to pull it out, he was startled and smiled and said, "This is a bit dangerous. Wait until you grow up before playing with it."

Seeing the group of men in a state of panic, Xiaohu frowned and said to the three children, "Don't be rude. Don't touch them."

Then he turned to Xu's army and said, "The children down the mountain are tougher and find everything strange. I hope the generals will be surprised."

"it's okay no problem."

Several generals waved their hands quickly, and some even bent down to hold the children in their arms. The armor was cold, but Xiaohu's three children seemed not to feel it and were still having fun.

Changqing entered the room and saw an old man lying on the bed with a small bowl of medicine beside him. The old man wanted to get up and salute Changqing, but was stopped by Changqing.

Looking at the young general who has now grown into an adult, the old man had some emotion in his eyes. When he first met this person a few years ago, he was not that famous. He just thought that this child was very good-looking and very rebellious, following behind an old general.

Who would have thought that he would become famous in just one battle? At such a young age, he could frighten the Jiang Kingdom to the point of trembling in fear at the mere mention of him.

Chang Qing then realized that the old man and his family had originally been planning to leave, but when they saw that Jiang State had been making moves recently, they changed their mind and started beating people from Jiang State with sticks and axes when they saw them crossing the line.

It was also because the people from Jiang State came over again a few days ago, and the old man accidentally twisted his waist when he was fighting them off. He has been lying in bed these days, applying Chinese medicine.

The old man said, "Although the adults asked us to move away to protect our safety, our village is at the very edge of the border. I remember the general said during the war that we would not give up an inch of our country's land."

"Fortunately, this place is too remote. Usually, only some people from Jiang Country come here. They quietly move the stone that divides the border between the two countries towards our Li Country. But in just a few months, it has been moved dozens of meters in. If it weren't for the fact that my ancestors have lived here for generations, it wouldn't be noticeable."
