White Tiger Camp in the northern suburbs of Liangzhou City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huo Xiao was sitting in the tent for lunch, a simple meat and a vegetarian dish, plus two large steamed buns and a bowl of soup, but he seemed to have a good taste.

It was both gratifying and distressing to see the book and ink waiting on the side.

The master grew up eating imperial meals when he was a child, and even if he occasionally went to the military camp for training, he also opened a small stove alone.

The small stove is not as varied as the imperial dining room, but in terms of taste alone, it is even more delicious than the imperial dining room.

The first emperor has always been close to his own master for everything, and even the imperial chef is at his disposal.

Not to mention the ingredients, there are only those that the master can't think of, and there are no things that the chefs can't find.

Just for this, the old prince has been talking about the young master all the time.

In the past, the master didn't take the old prince's words seriously, and it was already very hard to work in the barracks, so why should he be so harsh on himself in life?

But since he officially joined the army in the Great Northwest last year, he seems to have changed as a person.

Except for not sleeping in the Chase bunk with the soldiers, there is almost no trace of the original half of the original in other aspects.

In the last month, because of the warmer weather, the bandits who have been cats for a winter have expanded their range of activities, and they have almost raided like crazy.

The place south of Liangzhou City is relatively safe, and the people in the north simply can't survive.

In addition, the harvest near Liangzhou last year was not good, and at this time it was already green and yellow, and many families were almost unable to open the pot.

As one of the four major battalions under General Huo, the White Tiger Battalion is one of the best in the Great Zhou army.

Huo Xiao took the initiative and distributed more than half of the military rations allocated by the imperial court to help the people, so the food level of the White Tiger Camp has dropped very much recently.

The soldiers are not full of complaints, the noble Huo Xiaowang can stand it, and they are ordinary people from poor families.

Only the commander of the White Tiger Battalion, General Huaiyuan, Ma Yan, can't stand this crime, he is also a child of a family, he is not afraid of hardships on the battlefield, and he is used to wealth and luxury in daily life.

And Ma Yan has always been very shrewd, General Huo Da let Huo Xiao go to the White Tiger Camp to experience the purpose is to let the eldest grandson learn to take charge of the military, if he always hangs around in the White Tiger Camp, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

There are no two kings in the country, and the same is true in the army.

Anyway, Huo Xiao would definitely not be able to look down on Huo Xiao in such a position as the leader of the White Tiger Battalion, so why would he do a thankless thing?

So since Huo Xiao arrived in Liangzhou, he, the main general, has lived in the general's mansion in Liangzhou City for at least eight out of ten days, and on the surface, it seems that he has given up the position of the commander of the White Tiger Battalion to Huo Xiaowangye.

It is a fool not to be blessed, since Huo Xiao wants to behave, he is happy to recuperate at home for a while.

As soon as Huo Xiao finished lunch, Shumo handed him an invitation from General Huaiyuan's mansion.

"Ma Mingrui is going to get married?" he took the invitation and opened it and glanced at it casually.

Shumo's sweat was about to come down.

Ma Mingrui is Ma Yan's eldest son, and he is also one of the most capable generals in the White Tiger Camp, and he is also an acquaintance with his own master.

The news of his marriage had already spread in the White Tiger Camp, and the young master actually asked so knowingly.

Shumo asked tentatively, "Do you want to attend the wedding banquet in three days?"

Huo Xiao did not answer him this question, but instructed him to send someone to notify all the partial generals and deputy generals to come to the big tent, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Shumo retreated.

Huo Xiao's "important matter" is actually about suppressing bandits.

According to recent news from several other major military camps, bandits have been infiltrating the barracks in disguise as soldiers, and the purpose is naturally to provide for the army.

Although the White Tiger Battalion has not yet discovered such a situation, it is enough to attract Huo Xiao's attention.

He rearranged the deployment near Liangzhou, and the internal management of the White Tiger Battalion was even more leaky.

It was already three hours after everything was arranged, and Huo Xiao returned to his tent.

He took out the secret letter that had come from the frightening wind a few days ago and read it again.

The expression on his face looked a little solemn in the candlelight.

Little lentils actually went back to Jiangnan?

This is definitely the worst news he's gotten in recent times, not one of them.

He wouldn't believe the rumors that he would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors on behalf of his grandmother, and that lentils had suffered some grievances.

Huo Xiao crumpled the letter paper, and his face was still not good-looking.

He said in a deep voice: "Shumo, prepare a gift for me and send it to General Huaiyuan's mansion." ”

"Yes, sir. Shumo replied and said, "Are you still going to the wedding banquet in three days?"

Huo Xiao said: "It's hard to say, I have to go out with Jiang Shen Feng Ji tomorrow, and see if I can come back when I can." ”

Shumo didn't dare to say much, and fetched water to clean Huo Xiao's hands and prepare dinner.

Let's talk about Doudou and his party.

After entering Liangzhou City, they first went to the restaurant to solve the problem of eating.

During the meal, I listened to the chatter of the guests at the adjacent table and learned that the dowries I had met before turned out to be the daughter-in-law of General Huaiyuan.

Three days later, his eldest son Ma Mingrui was going to get married, and the bride was the eldest daughter of the richest man in Lanzhou City, so she had such a valuable dowry.

Doudou is a little strange, although General Huaiyuan's grade is not too high, he is a general with real power.

What's more, isn't that Concubine Ma Xian in the palace his sister-in-law?

Ma Mingrui is the nephew of Concubine Xian Niangniang and the cousin of the third prince, why would he marry a businesswoman as his wife?

It's not that Doudou doesn't look down on businessmen, you must know that Concubine Ma Xian and the third prince are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have also coveted the position of the prince for a long time, and they must need strong help.

As Ma Mingrui, it is normal to marry the daughter of a noble and high-ranking official in Beijing, so as to increase the power behind the three princes.

And his family business does not seem to have any benefit except for getting a large sum of money.

There are not many people who think the same way as Doudou, and someone at the next table has raised questions.

The answer was also not long in coming.

It turned out that Ma Mingrui was not Ma Yan's biological son, but an adopted son.

Ma Yan has countless wives and concubines, but there is only one daughter Ma Mingyu born to his wife, so he adopted Ma Mingrui ten years ago.

But even if it is an adopted son, a person like Ma Yan should not be regarded as a daughter-in-law of a merchant, there must be an ulterior secret in it.

But what does all this have to do with you?

Doudou sipped the bitter tea and decided not to think about these boring questions again.

"Yuan'er, why don't we find an inn for a night's rest first, and you can also have a good rest. Cheng Xiaofei proposed.

Fat Mai Sui'er also echoed: "Yes, the slave maid just went to inquire, and the White Tiger Camp is still more than a hundred miles away from Liangzhou City." ”

Her voice was not small, so that the people at the next table could hear it clearly.

A man in a gray robe smiled and said, "Don't waste your mind a few little brothers, not everyone can enter the White Tiger Camp. ”

Doudou said very politely: "What does this brother mean ......"

The man said: "Except for the sergeant who escorted the military rations, the rest of the idle people are not allowed to approach the White Tiger Camp for half a step, this has been an old rule for many years. ”

Doudou arched his hand at the man in gratitude, but his brow furrowed.

Fat Mai Sui'er put her mouth to Doudou's ear and said, "The girl is in a hurry, let the slave go to find the master and take us in." ”

Doudou waved his hand and said: "It's best not to act rashly, your master is only a small role in the White Tiger Camp, let's not drag him down." ”

Fat Mai Ear: "......"

Is her master a small character?
