Chapter 112 This is a great honor
"You mean, you want me to join your army?" Xu Luo asked for a while, and then he suddenly realized Cheng Chumo's intention. He thought to himself, I was just thinking about finding a place to join the army, this is really a coincidence.
The military camp where Cheng Chumo was located happened to be recruiting soldiers, and when he heard the news, he came with his men in a hurry. Xu Luo was puzzled in his heart. He had never mentioned to outsiders that he was going to join the army, but how come the news spread faster than rabbits and even alarmed the son of the devil, who came to invite him personally. This was really a great honor.
Xu Luo asked his doubts, but Cheng Chumo stuttered. He was always straightforward and honest, and he was no match for the scheming think tanks around the emperor. After being questioned by Xu Luo, he didn't know where to start. It turned out that before he came, someone had repeatedly warned him not to reveal his identity.
"Well, Mr. Han, don't pursue it so much!" Cheng Chumo scratched his head awkwardly.
At this time, Li Jiao'er, a woman standing next to him, had eyes that moved and a smile on her lips. She gently tugged at Xu Luo's sleeve and said in her clear voice like an oriole, "Mr. Han, although life in the army is hard, it is also a lot of fun, isn't it? Besides, with a hero like General Cheng by your side, you won't be lonely." There was an indescribable temptation in her words, and her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people nod involuntarily.
Cheng Chumo twitched his eyebrows with a smug look on his face and said to Xu Luo, "Let me tell you something. I am a member of the Zuo Wuwei. Oh, there are more than just me in our military camp. There is also Qin Huaiyu from the Qin family, Li Huairen who always has a silly smile on his face, Changsun Chong, the noble son of the Changsun family, and Fang Yiai who always makes a fool of himself."
He paused, as if he was planning something, and then said, "You may not be familiar with these people, but trust me, with them around, you'll be safe!"
"Now that we're in the military camp, we're brothers wearing the same pants!" Cheng Chumo waved his hand, as if he had already seen the spectacular scene. "From now on, if anyone dares to cause trouble for you in Chang'an City, you have to show me my name."
As he spoke, he patted his chest, which made Xu Luo laugh. Xu Luo thought to himself that Cheng Chumo was simply a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, but such a straightforward person was really suitable for making friends.
Compared to those guys who are sweet-mouthed and slick, but run away without a trace when encountering trouble, Cheng Chumo can truly be considered a rare species.
Xu Luo thought about the names that Cheng Chumo had just mentioned, and understood. Whether it was the heroic Qin Huaiyu, the elegant Chang Sun Chong, or the rumored Fang Yiai who was always cuckolded, which one of them was not a golden branch and jade leaf in Chang'an City?
He secretly wondered what virtue and ability he had among such a group of people that Cheng Chumo valued him so much. While he was thinking, Cheng Chumo was still talking nonstop, his mouth never stopped. Xu Luo couldn't help but glance at Cheng Chumo, and his heart felt a little warmer.
At this time, the woman next to him gently lifted a strand of hair by her ear, her eyes rolling, her lips smiling, her jade-like neck and the looming clavicle revealing an unintentional temptation. Xu Luo could not help but be stunned, thinking, the water in Chang'an City is indeed unfathomable.
Xu Luo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "General Cheng, let me ask one more question, is there someone named Du who helped me to mobilize some connections behind the scenes?"
"The surname Du?" Cheng Chumo's eyes widened, and he looked confused, then suddenly realized, "Oh, oh! There is such a person!" Speaking of the surname Du, it must be Du Ruhui. Cheng Chumo nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that others didn't know.
Xu Luo's mind suddenly brightened up, thinking of the gift Du Ruhui mentioned when he left last night. He thought it was just a polite remark, but who would have thought that this big gift would arrive this morning. He thought it was just a few ingots of silver, but it turned out to be a ticket to enter the military camp, and to camp with the children of those famous families. This gift was really heavy.
He thought to himself, if he could really get along with these people and become one with them, wouldn't he be able to get whatever he wants in Chang'an? Xu Luo was filled with emotion. Du Ruhui must have gone through a lot of trouble to get this generous gift. He had no idea that Du Ruhui would let him join the Zuo Wuwei with just a few words. The leader of the Zuo Wuwei was the famous Niu Jinda, who had a close relationship with Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui.
At this time, the woman next to him pursed her lips gently, her eyes moving, as if she was more curious about Xu Luo's fate. She casually lifted her hair, revealing her white neck, her skin was whiter than snow, and people couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Xu Luo caught a glimpse of this scene, and his heart moved slightly, but he didn't show it on his face, and continued to chat and laugh with Cheng Chumo.
Xu Luo had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling and others, and helping each other was commonplace. Cheng Chumo was kind-hearted, and one day he grabbed Xu Luo and said with a smile: "Brother Han, do you mind if I call you that?" Before Xu Luo responded, Cheng Chumo couldn't wait to say: "Come on, come on, today I'm going to take you to see the majesty of the military camp!"
At this time, the impatient Cheng Chumo dragged Xu Luo out. Xu Luo was stunned, thinking that they were of similar age, but he and Cheng Chumo's father Cheng Yaojin were brothers, which made their relationship messed up. But unable to resist Cheng Chumo's enthusiasm, Xu Luo had to bid farewell to his sister Princess Changle in a hurry, and was half-dragged and half-pulled out of the door by Cheng Chumo.
The two men rode out of Chang'an City and soon saw the military camp in the distance. Xu Luo had never seen such a spectacular sight since he came to the Tang Dynasty. Even though the distance was still far, the continuous military tents, the solemn atmosphere, and the deafening shouts of killing still shocked him.
Cheng Chumo brought Xu Luo and soon arrived at the gate of the military camp, where they saw a dozen soldiers guarding the camp. Cheng Chumo proudly introduced them, "Meet Captain Cheng!"
At this time, someone on the side couldn't help but tease: "Cheng Chumo, he pulls Xu Luo like he's his own brother, regardless of whether he wants to or not. However, looking at the way they look, they do look like a pair of real brothers."
Princess Changle watched Xu Luo leave with reluctance. Her watery eyes and slightly upturned lips all expressed her concern. She gently stroked her chest, as if she wanted to bury this emotion deep in her heart, waiting for Xu Luo to return.
As soon as Cheng Chumo arrived in front of the camp gate, several soldiers immediately bowed and performed a funny salute. One of them couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is our Mr. Han!" Cheng Chumo instantly put away his cynicism and a serious look appeared on his face.
