Chapter 228

"Look more, do more, speak less, ask less."

"Just obey the military order," Zhang Xun said in a deep voice.

The squad leader shrank his neck upon hearing this.

He muttered in a low voice, "It's just that this sudden order came, and we haven't had time to tell our families. My wife at home is about to give birth, and I don't know when I'll be able to return."

Meng Ji sighed, his expression a bit disappointed.

Zhang Xun pulled the reins of his warhorse slightly, moved side-by-side with Meng Ji, and then smiled and patted Meng Ji on the shoulder, saying, "It's probably a routine border patrol. Don't worry, we'll be back in a few days."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to write a letter and ask your sister-in-law to go to your house to look after things."

"Don't worry, if you have a son, when I return this time, I will agree to your request and recognize your son as my godson."

Hearing Zhang Xun's words, the squad leader Meng Ji immediately swept away the disappointment on his face and said happily:

"Military Officer, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word."

"If I really get a son, I'll recognize you as my godfather in the future."

The several colleagues behind them heard Meng Ji's words and all laughed together.

"Old Meng, then we have to congratulate you."

"When the son is born, don't forget to invite us to drink."

"That's right, you kid are usually very stingy. The Military Officer acted as a matchmaker for you, and now that you're about to have an heir, you can't be stingy anymore."

Meng Ji scratched the back of his head with a silly grin: "Drink, when I get back, I'll invite everyone to drink, as much as you want!"

The group of people laughed and talked as they traveled far toward the north of Yinguan city.

Under the night, the firelight gradually moved away, and their figures gradually disappeared into the black curtain. ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
