83. Chapter 83 Intention
Yan Cheng stared blankly at the pile of strange things that Zhuang Wan bought in front of him.
He picked up a cloth tiger and wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Are you still a three-year-old child?"
"Oh!" Zhuang Wan took it over and said, "You don't know, this cloth tiger seller is an old woman, her legs and feet are bad, and her eyesight is blurred. I thought she was pitiful, so I bought one and gave it back to her.
She has some money."
After hearing what she said, Yan Cheng seemed to understand. He pulled out another rattle and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Zhuang Wan said: "I remembered that I played this when I was a child and had a fight with the neighbor's children over a rattle."
Yan Cheng asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that you have lived on the streets since you were a child? How come you have a neighbor's child?"
Zhuang Wan hurriedly explained: "I...I'm talking about a little beggar from the ruined temple next door. I picked up a rattle, and he came to snatch it, and then we had a fight."
Yan Cheng asked: "Did you win or lose?"
"Of course I won!" Zhuang Wan said proudly: "From now on, he will never dare to steal my things again."
Yan Cheng smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you again."
He shook the rattle, and the "dong dong" sound was very pleasant.
"It doesn't matter, from now on these gadgets will be given to our children to play with."
Zhuang Wan: "..."
Yan Cheng suddenly looked at her and smiled evilly: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Zhuang Wan was confused: "What?"
"You deliberately bought these children's toys..." Yan Cheng's smile became more meaningful: "Could it be that...you want me to do something..."
Zhuang Wan just wanted to die on the spot. This kid didn't blush at all when he said dirty things now.
She quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I bought you something."
She opened the exquisite sword box: "A hero deserves a sword, look at this."
Yan Cheng happily took out the sword, "Is this for me?"
Zhuang Wan nodded hurriedly: "Yes! What do you think of this sword?"
Yan Cheng pushed away the scabbard of his sword, and cold light fell on his forehead.
"Very sharp, not bad."
Zhuang Wan was very happy and continued to tell him about the power of this sword: "This is an ancient sword, and its name is Feng Yin. It blows hair and breaks hair, cuts iron like mud, and kills people without blood. If you use it in the future
When you go into battle to kill the enemy, you must be invincible and invincible."
Yan Cheng laughed after hearing this, "Is this what the sword seller told you?"
Zhuang Wan was slightly embarrassed: "Although... it may be a bit exaggerated, but you also said this is a good sword, right?"
Yan Cheng nodded: "It's really not bad, it must have cost a lot of money!"
"The gift for you must be the best. It's not expensive, it's only a hundred taels."
"Cough - cough -" Yan Cheng coughed after hearing this and said with a dry smile: "It's really not expensive."
Although this sword is sharp, the blade is too thin. It looks okay for dancing, but it cannot kill people at all, let alone using it on the battlefield. Ten taels of silver is the limit.
Zhuang Wan also saw something was wrong and asked weakly: "Am I paying too much?"
Yan Cheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how much money you have, your thoughts are the most important. I like it very much."
He put the sword into the sword case and said, "Put it away for me first. I have something to do with General Pang."
"Okay!" Zhuang Wan nodded.
In fact, what Yan Cheng said as a joke just now that he wanted to do something was not what Zhuang Wan thought.
But he did do something for Zhuang Wan.
Pang Ao saw Yan Cheng coming from a distance and turned around to leave.
"General Pang!" Yan Cheng came over quickly.
Pang Ao had no choice but to turn around and said with a smile: "What's the matter with General Li?"
"Brother, please stop making fun of me!" Yan Cheng asked: "I heard that the prince has issued an order that any soldiers in the camp who are sick, sick, old, or have only children at home can be disarmed and return home if they want to, but is it true?
"
Pang Ao knew as soon as he heard that he was still thinking about going home to get married, and advised: "Since you call me eldest brother, can you listen to eldest brother's advice? How can the love of a woman here be more important than protecting the family and the country, let alone your ability?"
Yes, there will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future, how could you give up this great future for a woman?"
"Brother, this is not why I came here today." Yan Cheng said, "I listen to brother and will not go back to my hometown."
"This is a real man!" Pang Ao said happily: "I, Pang, did not see the wrong person!"
Yan Cheng quickly said: "I came here to ask my eldest brother if Zhuang Wan is on the list of people returning home?"
"He didn't ask for permission!" Pang Ao slapped his forehead: "Oh, did you say last time that he has an old mother at home and wants to return to his hometown to take care of her?"
"Yes!" Yan Cheng said, "Please ask my eldest brother to fulfill her filial piety."
"Oh, that's okay! Fortunately, the list has not yet been submitted to the prince, so I will just add his name."
Yan Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother."
…
Xiao Jingchen looked through the roster presented by Pang Ao, and when he saw Zhuang Wan's name on the last page, he asked, "Why is this person named Zhuang Wan?"
Pang Ao said: "His mother is still alive at home, and he is an only son, so he asked to return to his hometown to serve his mother."
Xiao Jingchen let out a sigh. If he hadn't checked out this boy's background, he would have believed that he was talking about serving his mother. It was nonsense.
He was about to write and cross out his name when he suddenly thought that this boy named Zhuang Wan was very close to Mu Qiulan. If he continued to stay in Beijing, wouldn't there be more opportunities for the two of them to meet, so he simply sent him back and ended the relationship.
He thought about it.
So he handed the roster to Pang Ao: "Go down and do it!"
As a result, Zhuang Wan was "expelled" from the military camp in a confused manner.
The two, five, seven and three people who got the news were very reluctant to give up.
Chen Wujin said: "Brother Zhuang Wan, why do you want to leave?"
Bai Qilang said: "We came together, but now you have to leave alone. I don't know when we will meet again."
Laiji: "That's right, I didn't even say I was leaving, so why did you leave first?"
Zhuang Wan took out a money bag and handed it to Lai Er: "This is the money you gave me before. I added some more, which is enough for you to get a wife."
Laiji was so moved as he held the silver in his hands, "Can you please not leave? I still want to keep the silver with you."
Zhuang Wan: "..."
"What you think is wonderful!"
She looked at the others and said:
"Why are you so separated from each other? I just left the military camp, not Kyoto. You can come to me at any time!"
Bai Qilang said: "But without you, I still feel that something is missing."
Chen Wujin said: "What kind of business are you doing in Kyoto? Do you want our help?"
"I haven't thought about it yet!" Zhuang Wan said, "I have to plan carefully."
On the day Zhuang Wan left the military camp, Yan Cheng specifically asked for leave.
Zhuang Wan felt relaxed as she watched the door of the Ministry of War slowly close.
She could finally focus on making money or running away.
"Let's take you somewhere!" Yan Cheng couldn't wait to hold her hand.
"Where?"
Chapter completed!
