"What business?" asked Xu Shu suspiciously. What business has to be said outside in the dark?" "Well, all the people here tonight saw that I was drunk and talking nonsense, and I could not show up tomorrow as a matter of course. Kou Yan finally told the truth.

"So what?" Xu Shu had a premonition that he had been calculated. Sure enough, the disciple's next words confirmed his thoughts. "Therefore, I would like to ask the teacher to instruct the young people to entertain them and go to Changsha via Dongting Lake. In addition, in your name, please order Gan Ning to lead the naval army to arrange the guards. ”

"You want to ...... Why, you can arrange it yourself......" Xu Shu was really surprised at this time. Although he had realized that the disciple was pretending to be drunk, he didn't know that there was this meaning behind the original pretending to be drunk.

"In the eyes of those people, it's normal for me to be drunk, it's not normal for me to be drunk for a thousand glasses, and it's not normal to lift weights lightly. The teacher is wise and wise, and the world knows it. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the disciples are lazy, wanting to get more protection from you. ”

Kou Yan bowed to the end: "The disciple can have today, because the teacher is by my side, I want the world to see how powerful you are! So, please take care of the teacher!" "Yan'er, are you doing this on purpose?" Xu Shu frowned.

"What does it matter, young girls are not capable of being at the height of the temple. Kou Yan said indifferently. Then she looked up into the teacher's eyes again. Those eyes, as bright as stars, spread out softly, even if it is just an ordinary glance, you can feel the temperature, warm people's hearts.

With this person by my side, my life, even if it stops here, is nothing unwilling. I originally had too much resentment towards my parents, Cao Ren, and this unfair world, but now it seems to be completely gone, and it doesn't matter what will happen to those people in the future.

I just want to be with my teacher and just go all the way. What I want is here, and I am confident that I can't get it. So, on the contrary, there is no urgent desire. Now, only what he wants, and I hope to repay him. But I don't know, what does he want?

Thinking of this, the words in my heart naturally blurted out: "I say to myself every day, invite the teacher here, get so much help from the teacher, I want to repay you as much as I can, I want to give you more, more than my father can give, and even more than Cheng, Cao Thief can give." ”

After many years of slavery habits, she almost said the word "prime minister", but fortunately she braked in time, and it seemed that the words were not so clear.

Xu Shu didn't hear Kou Yan's speech, but was shocked by the content of her words. For a while, I couldn't find any words to deal with it: "Yan'er, have you always, always had such thoughts?" "Yes, I've always thought like this, and I've always felt sorry for you. Speaking of this, Kou Yan fell in love again, and couldn't help but hide his face and cry.

"Actually, actually, if you refused at that time, disciple, disciple would not be disappointed at all...... But, but why, why ......"

"Hey......" A long sigh appeared in his ears, and Kou Yan felt that a hand had fallen on the top of his head, and the originally tight bun had somehow loosened and the silk curtain had slipped. "Really, won't Yeon'er really be disappointed?" the voice was so close, so close that it didn't seem to come from another person's mouth, but from the bottom of her own heart.

Kou Yan couldn't help but shudder slightly, tears rolling down, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak. "You only know that Xu has courtiers who serve Han and do not serve Cao, but you don't know that those are just self-deception, the Son of Heaven is not fortunate to Xu Du, imprisoned in Xu Du, in this world, there is no Han Chen. After leaving Xinye for the teacher, there is nowhere to go......"

"No, how could it be!" Kou Yan subconsciously raised his head and retorted when he heard Xu Shu say this. "That's the way it is, so Yan'er doesn't have to be like this, don't think about it again in the future. Xu Shu interrupted her softly.

"No, it's not. The teacher's reputation is universal, and the world knows it......" Kou Yan retorted "stubbornly". "Hey......" Xu Shu stroked his disciple's long hair, he never understood his disciple's persistence.

"No matter what, my mind will never change. Kou Yan lowered his head and said in a firm tone. "Yan'er......" Xu Shu called helplessly: "That's it, don't talk about this, you should go back and rest, tomorrow's affairs will be handled for you by the teacher." ”

The next day, Xu Shu followed Kou Yan's instructions and arranged for Ma Tan to lead a group of literati and scholars to sail on Dongting Lake and visit the lake and mountains. Without the attack of water bandits, Dongting Lake at this time is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

On the beautiful and quiet lake, Gan Ning took his water army, practiced day and night, and the sound of killing shook the sky, this time the surprise attack on Jianchang was successful, and Gan Ning won the rank of captain with military merits. He was proud for a long time before he remembered that this was just a trick, and the enemy was not prepared at all, so he let him succeed.

Besides, this is a landing battle, and strictly speaking it is still a traditional infantry battle. Not what he is best at, water warfare. It can't be regarded as his majesty. His navy has only been in the army for more than a month, and in his toddler, he needs more drills.

Therefore, after being promoted, Gan Ning was even more motivated. Personally lead the troops to drill every day. "Justly" met the Jingzhou scholars who came to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Then, they figured out how Jianchang and Haiduan fell into Kou Yan's hands. It turned out that on Dongting Lake, there was still a sharp knife hidden.

Kou Yan generously let them visit Ganning's navy, let them land from Luo County, and then browse Changsha. What they saw was the scene of people picking up earth to build dams, and dredging boats coming and going. There is a war going on at the front, what should the rear do. The battle is over, and the water control continues.

Everyone knows that there are many floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and this summer there is less rain than usual, and the water level is rarely low. But there is no guarantee of such good luck next year. The people have responded positively to the government's contribution of money and grain to build water conservancy.

The invaders were beaten away, and people cherished the land they lived in even more, and enthusiastically responded to Kou Yan's call. Everywhere the scholars went, without exception, there was a scene of the people's hearts and prosperity.

Ma Jian empathized with this and worked harder to promote Kou Yan. The first thing to be tempted, of course, is the eldest brother of the Ma family, the Ma family is in Xiangyang, compared with the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family, there is really no competitiveness, and he and the other two brothers are still just small officials, and their careers are dim.

Although Changsha has a lot of external pressure and troubles, there are also many opportunities. The leadership team is not sound, and there are countless vacancies. As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow!
