Chapter 191
"In addition, since you have already left the Prince's Mansion, you don't have to come back in the future."

He would like to thank Zheng Yunshu for giving him a reason to empty the backyard - he was already bored.

It was also at this moment that Jinxiu came to the lobby on the first floor, and those strong men were eating very contentedly with a steamed bun. There were not many dishes on the table, most of them were cheap and filling.

Just like what Xiaochun said, meat and vegetables are almost unsightly.

Looking at the scars and physical defects on their bodies, Jinxiu seemed to be able to imagine the life-and-death crisis in the killing field, and their bravery without fear of life and death.

She pursed her lips, turned around and took the plate to the kitchen, filled a large plate full of meat dishes and brought it over.

Glossy braised pork, slightly charred twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour sweet and sour pork, whatever is delicious.

The five men were stunned by her sudden food addition, and Jinxiu cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, big brothers, for helping us sit in Yuanpenglou these days!"

"I wonder if I could invite you all to have a meal and express my feelings?"

It is always gratifying to be appreciated by people with good intentions. After a few people nodded and smiled in return, they consciously turned their faces away.

Some of them had deep scars on their faces, and some of them had lost one eye. They knew that their faces were scary, and they didn't want to frighten this delicate and weak young man.

Jinxiu poured a glass of wine for each of them as if she didn't notice, and asked in a natural tone: "Just now I heard from you big brothers that you intend to buy a piece of land?"

The wine is full-bodied, thick and spicy, which is their favorite.

The frontier is bitterly cold, and they often need to rely on spirits to avoid being frozen. While practicing a good drinking capacity, alcohol addiction also follows.

Gluttonous, it didn't take long for them to fall in love with Jinxiu.

It was learned that several people actually did not want to leave the capital—it was not because they were reluctant to part with this prosperous and troubled world, but because they wanted to do something for the general.

They knew that Huo Jinhe had never received a salary from the court, and all the silver was used to help them, to make their life better when they were in the frontier, and to help them, the disabled soldiers, live easier in the second half of their lives.

Even the valiant general ordered them to write a letter every once in a while to report their daily life, and they were not allowed to hide any difficulties.

They said: "Such a good general, why don't we follow him sincerely?"

"But the court's villain's heart..."

At this point, they stopped quickly and only ate and drank.

"Forget it, I have nothing to worry about, and I don't have a wife, children, and loving mother waiting for us to return home. Why don't we just buy a piece of land near the capital and grow something easy to feed our stomachs."

"It's a pleasure to feed the whole family without worrying about one person."

Jinxiu guessed that perhaps the wounded soldiers who took the money and returned to their hometowns were not as carefree as Huo Jinhe thought, but everyone didn't want him to worry, so they reported good news but not bad ones.

How many people can make great achievements in the killing field?

More are ordinary soldiers like them who put their lives to defend their homes and the country, but only get scars all over their bodies.

After returning to their hometowns like this, will they be welcomed as heroes, or will they be rejected and unable to earn military pay for their families?
Jinxiu looked at their mottled backs of hands due to years of suffering from frostbite, looked at their easy-to-satisfy smiling faces, and asked, "Would you like to stay in Yuanpeng Building as a nursing home?"

I thought I needed a few more words of persuasion, but when they heard that they could stay in the capital and near General Huo, they immediately patted their chests and said that there was no wages, as long as the steamed buns were enough.

The five men rented a small courtyard together, and they had enough money. As long as Yuanpenglou kept them, they could stay in the capital forever.

If the general needs it, they can also charge in the first place.
