Chapter 32 Letter of Introduction
Two hours later, it was already dawn.
Under Qin's repeated urging, Xie Li finally started to get up and wash.
It was not his habit to get up so late. He had no preference for staying in bed since his previous life. In addition, after coming here, he worked in the camp and needed to get up early, so Xie Li usually arrived in the camp at this time.
Although he may not be in the military service all day (of course there is nothing to ask him to do), he has never been late when he reported in the morning.
This looks today is really because of the wine I drank yesterday and the late sleep.
"Ali will go directly to the camp after washing up. It's already half an hour late. I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the manager. Don't eat so much wine in the future. Not to mention the discomfort, I'll miss work and make things happen." Although Qin's tone now was full of complaints, he didn't call him too early when he saw him sleeping soundly.
"My mother, don't worry, Liu Qi, the military officer, has a good relationship with the child, and it doesn't matter if he is late." Xie Li said while washing his face. Recently, Xie Li and Zhu Xu often discussed things together, so Liu Qi naturally knew that once even Zhu Xu went there in person. So when Liu Qi faced Xie Li again, the identities of the two seemed to be reversed.
Qin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said, "I just heard from my neighbors that there seemed to be a notice posted at the north gate of the city, saying that we would check the food stored in the homes of the poor in the city, and then we would have to distribute the food every five days."
"Hmm?" Xie Li stopped the movement in his hand and then asked, "Did you just posted it this morning?"
"I heard they said yes, and I also heard that if there is no food at home now, I can get five to six liters. Although it is a bit difficult to eat, there is no problem in living a life." Qin explained to him that there are still many in his home, so I can't get it for the time being.
After hearing this, Xie Li wiped his face randomly and said, "My mother, I'm here now." Then he walked quickly towards the middle of the camp.
When we arrived near the city gate, many onlookers had gathered there.
Xie Li came close to him. Most of the people here have pale faces and thin skin, and they look hungry for a few days.
But at this moment, the joy that the long-awaited food will come will be seen everywhere on their faces.
After the notice, Xie Li came to the city tower. Zhu Xu, who was sitting on the main, still had bloodshot eyes. Xie Li bowed directly and said, "Congratulations to General Jung-Law..."
"Ha!" Zhu Xu waved his hand and signaled. After everyone else went out, he stood up and walked to Xie Li's side, saying, "It's considered waiting for you to come!"
Then he pulled his wrist and came to the seat, then sat down again, and said with a smile: "Jing Xuan's talent really opened my eyes to Zhu Xu, hahaha!" The voice was very refreshing.
Xie Li sat down next to him and asked with a smile: "How many are you sending me?"
"Twenty-three ships! There are twenty-three ships!"
"Well, this food is planned to be distributed to the civilians in the city, so you should not worry about causing trouble. Alas... It's just that thanking the hard work of the Central Army General, the General of the Central Army, has to worry about defending the city again." Xie Li sighed deliberately, but then he couldn't bear it and laughed out loud.
"Ha! Jing Xuan, without this worries, what's the difficulty for me, Zhu Xu, to stay in Xiangyang for another half a year!" At this time, Zhu Xu seemed to have returned to his former style. With sufficient food and supplies, Zhu Xu had never been afraid of anyone.
Looking at Zhu Xu with a bold face, Xie Li's intuition was that he was completely different from before.
Before, he was like a tiger locked in a cage, dying and lifeless. Now, the tiger has been released into the mountains and forests, and the momentum of the king of beasts has been replenished. Although he cannot go down the mountain to "do evil", he has already broken free from the cage and can roar at any enemy.
"Then Xie Li wants to congratulate the General of the Central Army again!" Xie Li bowed his hand and said, with the sincerity in his tone revealed.
Zhu Xu obviously had already heard Xie Li's sincerity, closed his smile, held Xie Li's hands and said, "Why should Jing Xuan be so polite? Although others don't know, Zhu Xu, I, can be fooled? Today, Xiangyang City can ensure that it is not lost, and the people have so much food reserves. Such great achievements have nothing to do with me, Zhu Xu, and this is entirely up to Jing Xuan's own strength."
"General Zhonglang, don't be joking." Xie Li smiled bitterly and continued: "Without General Zhonglang, he led many soldiers to defend the city on the front line, I, Xie Li, would have been stabbed into a hedgehog by the Qin army's sword, so I could still talk to General Zhonglang here alive."
"Haha! Although this is true, your achievements are still inevitable. Jing Xuan told you what he wanted. He had not rewarded him for building a wall last time, so let's calculate it together this time!"
"This, given the current situation in Xiangyang City, Xie Li really doesn't have anything special to do." After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Xie Li replied.
What he said is indeed the truth. A besieged city, communication with the outside world is either a bow or a gun, and there is no other thing again.
As for the city, the most precious ones are not only grain, and gold, silver, jewelry and rubble iron are no different.
Zhu Xu also fell into deep thought after hearing this. But after a moment, a smile appeared on his face and said, "I remember Jing Xuan is 16 years old this year, and he is at the age of preparing for a marriage. Does the ladies of wealthy families in the city look down on them? If not, I can ask my mother to come forward and find someone with good looks for you. Haha, she must be quite concerned about your marriage."
"Uh..." Xie Li was speechless. He didn't expect that Zhu Xu would think of this reward method. After waiting for a while, Xie Li continued:
"This... the General of the Central Army is really invisible. Xie Li has already made a marriage with the neighbor Su family, so the wife of another family will not consider it for the time being. If the General of the Central Army doesn't mind, Xie Li has something to ask for."
"Oh? Since Jing Xuan has something to do in need of help, it's going to be a waste of time. Let's talk, as long as I, Zhu Xu, can do it, I will never refuse."
Xie Li pondered for a moment, then said, "Last night, General Zhonglang and Mrs. Han expressed their intention to help Xie Li leave the city, and Xie Li was very grateful. Now, Xie Li still wants to ask General Zhonglang to write a letter of introduction."
"Oh, who was the letter of introduction to?"
"Huan Chong, General Huan!"
"Well? Jing Xuan thought of a plan to leave the city?" Zhu Xu was quite surprised when he heard the name. General Huan was now in Jiangling, and Xie Li asked him to write a letter to him. Naturally, he had already planned to go to Huan Chong's place.
"Well, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I thought about it for a while on the way I came just now, and now I have a preliminary plan."
Chapter completed!
