Chapter 1780 Chouchou Epilogue 5

Qiao Ding was so angry with Rong Ye that he didn't come to the Northern Xinjiang Army for seven or eight days. During this time, Rong Ye lived very happily.

The barbarian army suffered a huge defeat and lost 30,000 men. They were resting urgently and did not attack again for a while.

Gu Chao also received news that the barbarian army general was now lobbying several other tribes that did not participate in the rebellion, asking them to provide some people, saying that the revenge must be avenged and the fields and food must be snatched, otherwise it would be a huge loss.

The barbarian army was planning another big plan, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was idle except for daily patrols and defenses.

What are the soldiers doing when they are idle? The grassroots ones help the nearby mountain people and the people do some work. The soldiers and civilians are like one family. If you are a leader, you should increase the daily training on the school field to give the brothers a place to vent their energy. Don't let them rest too much and their skin will become loose. If they turn back to fight, their hands will slip and die.

Rong Ye is a grassroots soldier. She also follows the other brothers to visit the people near the camp every day. When the barbarian army came, some people's fields were trampled. Isn't it just after spring plowing? If the fields are not well maintained, autumn will be ruined. They couldn't harvest good food, so the little soldiers helped the people build good fields and nail fences.

Rong Ye worked enthusiastically every day.

When she was in Kyoto, there were maids at home, so she didn't have to do anything. Even the food was delivered to her. When she got to the border, she did it herself. Although she couldn't plow the fields at first, after the farmers taught her, she became very strong. , suddenly became the best one in the field, and she was so awesome.

Another ten days passed, but there was still no movement from the barbarian army. The Northern Xinjiang Army wondered whether the barbarian army was planning to retreat.

After all, if they really can't get backup, their remaining 60,000 troops really won't be able to make a splash at all.

The Northern Xinjiang Army relaxed a little because of the silence of the barbarian army. Gu Chao had nothing to do these days. When he had nothing to do, he also went to the farm to help with the work.

The farmers were flattered and knew that this was the marshal. They poured water and soup, and were attentive and frightened.

Gu Chao had always been close to the people and was kind to the common people. Later, the common people also noticed that Marshal Gu was easy to talk to, and his demeanor suddenly began to change.

The old men and women who used to deliver water and soup suddenly turned into graceful young ladies with silk flowers.

The military camp is full of men, young men and big men. When have you ever seen so many beautiful girls rushing to greet you? Their faces are as red as a monkey's butt, and they don't know where to put their hands and feet.

Rong Ye also received hot soup from a little girl. When she was drinking the soup, the girl was still looking at her with round almond eyes. When he looked over, she covered her mouth and smiled shyly.

Rong Ye was a little embarrassed. He finished the soup, wiped his mouth and thanked her.

The little girl took the empty bowl, stamped her foot, turned around and ran away shyly.

Lieutenant General Xiong, who happened to be passing by Rong Ye, laughed when he saw this: "Little apprentice, you are so popular."

Rong Ye lowered his head and continued working, ignoring his master.

Vice General Xiong shouted again: "Marshal, tell me, how many times is this? I think there have been three girls. They are different every time. Let's allow the boy to grow up."

Marshal Gu over there was also taking the hot water from a young lady, taking a sip, and looked up in Rong Ye's direction, with a smile in his eyes.

The young lady who was guarding Gu Chao was brave and immediately said, "Brother Xiao Rong is handsome. Many girls in the village always talk about him."

Rong Ye's ears turned red, he scratched his forehead and muttered: "Stop talking."

Lieutenant General Xiong added: "But our marshal is not bad either. I think the marshal has been eating and drinking well these days."

The little lady who brought Gu Chao water bowed her head and smiled when she heard this, became shy again, and ran away with the water bottle.

Vice General Xiong laughed again and said: "Marshal, you don't have a wife in your hometown. Why don't you just settle down with us in Kongzhou? If you act quickly, you can become a father next year!"

"Just shut up." Gu Chao laughed and scolded Deputy General Xiong, then bent down and continued hoeing.

But Vice Admiral Xiong not only refused to shut up, but also became more energetic. He pushed his apprentice again and said, "Boss Rong, too. There are so many big girls, which one do you like? If you like anyone, tell Master, and Master will help you propose marriage!"

"Master!" Rong Yejiang glared at her master, shouldered the hoe, and stopped standing next to her master to stand next to Gu Chao.

Gu Chao stood up and happened to see the young man next to him. Seeing that the young man's ears and neck were all red, he also made a rare joke: "Do you really like him?"

Rong Ye's head almost buried in her chest, she said: "I want to dig up the ground, please stop talking to me, I will ignore you!"

Vice General Xiong over there laughed heartily when he heard this, and Gu Chao was also amused by him.

After working in the fields until noon, she had a simple lunch. In the afternoon, Rong Ye was going to go up the mountain to help the old woman with mobility difficulties in the village chop wood. She used to go alone. Today, Gu Chao saw that she was leaving, so he got up and walked with her. Go with her.

The two of them were walking on the mountain path, and Gu Chao suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"

Rong Ye said: "Eighteen."

Gu Chao was a little surprised: "It looks like fifteen."

Rong Ye pouted: "Marshal looks down on people."

Gu Chao put his arm on the little guy's shoulder and put his arm around him: "Eighteen, it's time to get married. Has your hometown been decided?"

"Not sure."

"If you're not sure, why don't you ask your master to tell you something? I think the girl this morning is pretty good."

Rong Ye raised his head and looked at Gu Chao: "Has the Marshal seen every girl clearly? Marshal wants to get married?"

Gu Chao put a hand on his forehead and laughed: "What about you, have you learned to talk back?"

Rong Ye scratched his head: "If the marshal likes you, just say it yourself. I won't get married and I'm still young."

"Eighteen is not young."

"How old is the marshal?"

Gu Chao said, "I'm twenty-six."

"Twenty-six." Rong Ye said, "The marshal is eight years older than me. You are not anxious, so why should I be anxious?"

Gu Chao saw that the young man really didn't want to get married, so he said, "That's fine. When you have made military achievements and promoted to an official position, it won't be too late to meet each other then."

The two chatted while going up the mountain. When they reached the mountainside, they arrived at the place where the mountain people usually cut firewood.

Gu Chao liked two trees, one thin and the other thick. He asked Rong Ye to chop the thin one, and he swung the axe to hit the thick one.

As a result, he was hugged by someone when he was halfway through his swing. He turned his head and saw the little guy blocking him, but his eyes were looking at the crown of the big tree.

"What's wrong?"

"There is a swallow's nest on the tree, Marshal, we won't cut this one down."

Gu Chao followed his line of sight, but didn't see a swallow's nest. But since the little guy said so, he thought that the little guy had seen birds perching on this tree when he went up the mountain, so he didn't insist and said, "Then change one."

As he said that, he chose another tree.

But when he raised his hand again, his arm was hugged again: "There are sparrows living on this tree."

Gu Chao put down the axe, raised his hand and flicked Rong Ye's forehead: "I was wondering why you run to the mountain every day, playing with birds all day long?"

"No." Rong Ye muttered, frowning, she stared at several large trees nearby, looked for a while, and said: "Why are there sparrows nesting on this tree? That's not right. This is the mountainside. Sparrows should live in the deep mountains."

As she muttered this, she raised her hand and whistled.

Then Gu Chao saw a black-feathered swallow flying down from the tree above their heads. The swallow seemed to recognize someone and landed steadily on Rong Ye's arm, chirping at him.

Gu Chao raised his eyebrows.

Then he saw Rong leaning over and whispering something in the swallow's ear.

Gu Chao walked over a little, wanting to hear what was going on, but Rong suddenly raised his head, looked at him and said, "Marshal, it's not good, nearly 10,000 barbarian troops have entered the deep mountains!"
