Chapter 239: Southwest Guard


"I'll do it myself."

Commander An can jump up, and so can Shu Sirui.

Speaking of which, the place where they were before was still some distance away from the edge of the cliff, otherwise, it would be impossible not to be discovered.

Commander An's outstretched hand couldn't touch Shu Sirui, so instead of waiting to be pulled up, he might as well jump up himself.

Using the stones under his feet, Shu Sirui also jumped up.

The two of them did not dare to rest.

After finding the way, they continued to move forward.

"General Shu, now you and I have narrowly escaped death.

Those Southwesters should not be chasing us anymore."

Perhaps because of his narrow escape, Commander An felt that he had endless energy all over his body.

"Maybe.

Anyway, let's go to the southwest border first.

Only when we get there will we be safe."

People in the southwest are fickle, and Shu Sirui is not sure.

Hearing what Shu Sirui said, Commander An nodded and followed Shu Sirui as he hurried forward until they could no longer walk, and then the two stopped.

It was already noon, and the two of them were already hungry, their fronts touching their backs.

After all, they didn't eat much yesterday.

They had experienced a narrow escape before, and now they had been on the road for several hours.

They were made of iron. , and it’s really unbearable.

"There seems to be the sound of water ahead.

Let's go drink some water first."

Panting heavily, An Commander asked Shu Sirui.

Shu Sirui nodded and led An Commander forward.

When they reached the water source, the two stopped and looked around cautiously.

Seeing that there seemed to be nothing unusual around them, they waited for a while and then walked towards the water source.

When they reached the water, they drank some water, washed their faces, and simply arranged their hair and clothes.

The surroundings were still very quiet, with nothing unusual at all.

Shu Sirui asked Commander An to continue to be on guard while he found a few wooden sticks, sharpened the tops, and looked into the river.

There were fishes in the water, and they were quite big.

Both Shu Sirui and An Commander had been hungry for a long time.

How could they let go of the fish when they saw them now?

In previous battles, Shu Sirui also used wooden sticks to spear fish, so he was familiar with the way and was able to spear several big fish in a short time.

Commander An was still on guard.

Shu Sirui cleaned up the fish, then found some firewood.

After lighting the fire, he put all the fish on wooden sticks and grilled them on the fire.

There was no seasoning, so Shu Sirui found some herbs from the forest and stuffed them into the fish's belly.

Soon, the smell of grilled fish came.

While grilling the fish, Shu Sirui did not forget to be on guard.

"General Shu, it should be fine, after all, it's been so long."

Seeing Shu Sirui being so careful, Commander An asked, but he felt that there was no problem.

"It's always good to be careful.

Before we reach the southwest border, it's better to be cautious."

He entered the military camp at a very young age and became a general at the age of fifteen.

Everything Shu Sirui achieved was not due to luck, but was achieved step by step.

He always felt that when facing danger, it was always right to be cautious.

It is because of his caution that he has survived many dangers.

Shu Sirui said this, and the dark commander nodded.

Now he really regarded himself as Shu Sirui's follower.

No matter what he said, he felt it made sense.

One of the two was on guard, the other was responsible for grilling the fish.

After a while, all the fish were grilled.

The two put out the fire, dealt with the surrounding traces, and then left the place and hid in the forest.

Doing this will also ensure to a large extent that they will not be attacked by sneak attacks.

With a wide field of vision by the water, there is no guarantee that they will not be attacked by others.

But hiding in the woods, if someone really wants to harm them, someone will definitely go to where they were before. place to view.

Fortunately, no one showed up until they finished eating the fish, which made them sigh in relief.

Everyone ate a few fish, and their stomachs were finally full.

It was still daytime and it was a good time to rush on the road, so the two took a short rest before continuing towards the southwest border.

After eating, they really had strength.

In the evening, the two of them finally arrived at the Southwest Gate.

However, the city gate of the Southwest Gate was closed at this time.

If they wanted to progress, they had to wait until tomorrow.

"General Shu, when we see the defenders in the southwest, should we immediately tell them to send troops to kill them?"

At night, the two of them slept in the forest.

They were lucky enough to catch a pheasant.

When the fire was going up, Commander An asked Shu Sirui.

"After arriving, don't rush to talk.

First, observe the situation at the southwest border and then make plans."

Now that we have reached the current boundary, we can basically rest assured, because even if the people from the southwestern tribes are reluctant, they do not dare to cause trouble near Border City.

In fact, at the beginning, Shu Sirui and Commander An originally planned to imprison them in the southwest and then investigate the affairs of the southwest tribe.

But later, Shu Sirui suggested that they go directly into the tiger's den, which would make the investigation faster.

Regarding Shu Sirui's proposal, Commander An thought about it and found that it was indeed true, so the two of them went to the small town where the tribes gathered in the southwest, which can also be called the small border pass.

After this trip, the two of them almost didn't come back.

Now that they finally escaped death, they couldn't help but feel a little lucky in their hearts.

Shu Sirui said this, and Commander An nodded.

After eating, the two of them rested separately, waiting for the arrival of dawn.

After a busy day, Yunzhu returned to her and Shu Sirui's home again.

Although it was empty, Yunzhu still wanted to stay at home for a few days.

Last night she dreamed that something happened to Shu Sirui.

Today, Yunzhu was not energetic.

After a simple wash, Yunzhu sat at the desk and carefully copied out the recipes.

These things were all waiting to be handed over to Drunk Chef Wu tomorrow.

When everything was finished, it was getting late.

Yunzhu sat at the door, looking up at the stars in the sky, thinking of Shu Sirui in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but sleepiness hit me.

Yunzhu got up and went back to the room to rest.

After all, she had other things to be busy with tomorrow.

A night of silence.

When she woke up the next morning, Yunzhu was still not very energetic.

She didn't sleep well last night.

After all, she had something on her mind.

After a simple wash, I went to Piaoxiangju to have something to eat.

I walked around the two shops before going to Kelaixiang, which had not yet opened.

Seeing that there are only a few days until the opening, everything is almost ready, and we are just waiting for the auspicious day to open.

When Yunzhu came to the store, Zui Chef Wu and Lao Xiao and his wife were both there.

Because he went to Lao Xiao's house the day before yesterday, Zui Chef Wu didn't sign the paperwork.

Today he signed the paperwork with Lao Xiao and his wife.

The day before yesterday, Yunzhu didn't see Lao Xiao because Lao Xiao was not here.

But today, Yunzhu couldn't help but admire him.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.

Although Drunk Chef Wu likes to drink a little, he is not a problem with people.

His friends who are close to him have similar temperaments and temperaments to him.

Although Lao Xiao looks burly, he has a loyal look on his face.

Judging from his complexion, it is true that he is not in good health.

"My boss."

Seeing Yunzhu coming, the three of them greeted her with a smile.

The paperwork was completed yesterday.

Since everyone is here today, it is natural to sign the paperwork.

"Hurry and sit down, this is Lao Xiao."

He greeted the three of them with a smile.

Yesterday, Yunzhu asked Butler He to inquire about Lao Xiao's illness and found that it was not contagious, so he felt relieved.

After all, we were working in a restaurant, so if there was any infectious disease, that would be bad.

"My boss, thank you for giving us a way to survive."

Lao Xiao was very grateful to Yunzhu.

Although he went up the mountain that day, he didn't get anything.

He was a little depressed at first, but when he got home, he heard his wife say When I heard about the work, I immediately became happy.

After waiting and looking forward to it, the day to sign the documents finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Lao Xiao got up early to clean up, which made Sister Xiao both funny and sad.

It had been several months since they left the place where they worked.

No one except Drunken Chef Wu knew how difficult the couple's life was.

"You're welcome.

You can work here with peace of mind from now on.

No one will make things difficult for you and your wife again."

Speaking with a smile, Yunzhu asked someone to bring the documents they had prepared before and handed them into the hands of the three of them.

All three of them were literate, so after reading the paperwork, they all wrote their names.

"Mr.

Wu, this is for you.

During this period, you can try the dishes at home, or you can come to the store.

Anyway, coming to the store is to save money for your family.

Then I will ask Lao Xiao and his wife to cook together.

You’ve saved money on groceries these days.”

"If you need anything, just ask and I'll have someone prepare it for you in the store."

Hearing what Yunzhu said, Drunk Chef Wu quickly said, "My boss, now that you are my shopkeeper, don't call me Mr.

Wu anymore.

Just call me Lao Wu, just like you call me Lao Xiao."

"Also, since we are testing the food, I can just do it at home.

You have agreed to let Lao Xiao and his wife try the food.

Then it will be just the three of us at my house.

Don't worry, the little money spent on buying food will I, Lao Wu, can still afford it.”

Drunk Chef Wu said this, and Yunzhu was not polite.

She smiled and nodded, looking at Lao Xiao and his wife, "Look at Lao Xiao's complexion.

If you need money, you can tell me and I will get it for you."

For medical treatment, treat it as if you borrowed it from me.”

"Boss, thank you very much, but we should wait until we and I finish our work and use our own money to see a doctor.

This way we will feel at ease.

We, as a couple, appreciate your kindness."

Yunzhu's words made Lao Xiao and his wife very happy.

They secretly made up their minds to work well in Yunzhu's shop in the future and do as much work as possible to repay their boss for giving them food.

The documents were signed, and Yunzhu took one copy by himself, and Zuichu Wu and the others took one by themselves.

Because Yunzhu was still busy, after saying a few words, he left Ke Laixiang.

After Yunzhu left, the three of them stopped staying in the store.

They made an appointment to taste the dishes tomorrow and then left.

It was already dawn.

After sleeping in the forest all night, Commander An and Shu Sirui simply tidied up before entering the city at the southwest border.

The city looked very lively, and the streets were full of vendors setting up stalls.

The two of them hadn't eaten yet, but they didn't have any money, so they endured it and planned to walk around the city a few times first, and then make a decision. things.

After a few hours, everything in the border city seemed normal.

The two looked at each other and decided to go to the guard's mansion in the southwest border city.

Hearing that someone was coming from the capital, the guard who was responsible for guarding the southwest border was very surprised.

When he arrived at the door, he saw the two men were dressed in a mess and couldn't help but hesitate.

"General Wang, you don't know this and him, right?"

Commander An held the token of the Forbidden Army in his hand.

As for the person he was talking about, he was naturally talking about Shu Sirui.

Seeing the token in Commander An's hand, General Wang no longer hesitated.

After listening to Commander An's words, he looked at Shu Sirui carefully and suddenly his eyes widened.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years.

General Shu is much taller and different.

I almost didn't recognize him."

General Wang knew Shu Sirui.

The two of them had worked together in the past to fight against the small tribes in the southwest.

Although they were all small tribes, the fact that these tribes were united was still enough to cause a headache.

Later, they finally won, and the two of them had some friendship.

However, Shu Sirui had a cold temper, so after leaving, there was almost no contact anymore.

Now that they meet again, although Shu Sirui still has the same temper, General Wang is very happy.

"General Wang, it seems you were not here last time."

A few days ago, when Shu Sirui and An Commander came here, they had seen the border guard, and it was not General Wang at that time.

"I have just been transferred here.

It is said that the small tribes in the southwest are about to make a move again.

The Holy One sent me here to prepare for the imperial envoy who is going to the southwest tribe.

Could it be that General Shu is the imperial envoy?"

Although they had not contacted each other for several years, the love that existed through life and death was still there, so General Wang felt very cordial when seeing Shu Sirui.

"Well, it's indeed me.

Commander An and I just came from the small border gate.

We really had a narrow escape."

Thinking of his previous manager, Shu Sirui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"General Shu, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have changed a lot.

I didn't see you smiling in the past, so it's better to be like this now.

Come on, come on, let's not stand outside and talk inside."

He invited the two of them to enter the house together and asked his servants to prepare food, a room, hot water and clothes.

General Wang knew that the two of them must have suffered a lot when they just came back from Xiaobian Pass.

What's more, Shu Sirui said that he had a narrow escape. .

In response, the two of them entered the mansion.

While the servants were preparing everything, General Wang asked about Shu Sirui's current situation.

"I heard before that the general suddenly disappeared and there was no news, but he really resigned from his post."

Recalling that a few years ago, General Wang felt very sorry.

Now that he saw Shu Sirui again, he was surprised and a little relieved at the same time.

If such a talent really resigns and does not work, it will really be a loss to the country.

"General Wang, please call me Shu Sirui.

I am no longer a general.

The resignation is indeed true."

He spoke with a smile.

At this time, the tea was served, and there were some snacks.

Commander An was really hungry, so after drinking a few sips of tea, he ate a few more snacks.

Shu Sirui, on the other hand, only drank a few sips of tea and did not eat anything.

Have a snack.

"Okay, I won't call you general, but since you are a person sent by the emperor, it is appropriate to call you Lord Shu."

Speaking with a smile, General Wang continued to ask about Shu Sirui's current situation, "Now you have reached your prime years, and you can get a wife."

"Well, my wife is in the capital now."

He nodded, thinking of Yunzhu, Shu Sirui's expression softened a lot.

"Hahaha, the cold-faced God of War back then actually has a family now, and he has a child.

To tell you the truth, I also got married, and now the child is several years old."

"We don't have any children yet.

My wife is still young.

It won't be too late to have children in a year or two."

The two chatted casually for a few words, and the servant reported that hot water and clothes were ready.

Shu Sirui and Commander An were running all the way, and the clothes were already in disarray.

If Commander An had not taken out the token of the Imperial Army just now, I am afraid that General Wang would have Everyone would think that the two of them were beggars.

"You two go take a shower first, then change your clothes.

When you come back, how about eating and resting first?"

Naturally, Shu Sirui and Commander An had no objection to General Wang's proposal.

They bowed their hands to General Wang and then left together.

General Wang's arrangements were quite thorough.

Their yards were next to each other.

If anything happened, it would be convenient to discuss it.

"General Shu, do you think there's anything wrong with General Wang?"

He screened the servant away.

Their bathtubs were in the same room, separated only by a screen.

"It's hard to tell yet, but General Wang has always been a resourceful person, so it never hurts to be careful."

If General Wang's people hadn't arranged him to be in the same room with Commander An, maybe Shu Sirui wouldn't have thought much about it, but he arranged for the two of them to take a bath in the same room, which had to make Shu Sirui think carefully.

Shu Sirui still remembers what happened back then.

General Wang is definitely a brave and resourceful man.

Generally speaking, his arrangements are unexpected.

That is why when the enemy faces him, , always more cautious and alert.

In the past, Shu Sirui admired this kind of people, but now, Shu Sirui no longer has the intention to admire such people, because General Wang is not yet sure whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Even if it is the southwest guard, there is no guarantee that there will be no problem.

There may be a possibility that the southwest guard has a good relationship with the small tribes in the southwest.

In this way, as long as the small tribes in the southwest often perform some small actions and then ask the southwest guard to make a symbolic attack, they can attract the imperial court to allocate funds.

Someone had done something like this back then, so Shu Sirui remembered it clearly.

If he and the dark commander came to the guard general's mansion today, and the former guard general showed up, maybe he wouldn't need to worry too much.

After all, the guard general was just a brave but unintelligent one.

But things are different now.

Today's generals are very resourceful.

What Shu Sirui hopes for most now is that General Wang will never have any problems:
