Huo Xiao still returned to the camp after the sun went down on this day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After changing his clothes, he walked into Doudou's tent as usual.

It was also warm candlelight, a mouthful meal, but there was no sweet smile of the beloved girl at the table.

He took the hot handkerchief handed by Shumo and wiped his hands, looked at the fat wheat ears standing on the side and said, "Where is the girl?"

Fat Mai Sui'er lowered her voice and pointed to the inside: "I'm angry." ”

The corners of Huo Xiao's mouth were slightly hooked, and the lentils didn't even forget to prepare the food for themselves, so it didn't look like he was really angry.

He didn't go to eat, he just wanted to go inside and have a look.

"Master, you better eat first, it will be cold later. Fat Mai'er shouted.

Huo Xiao waved his hand: "I'm not hungry, I'll talk about it later." ”

It's no wonder you're not hungry!

Fat Mai Sui'er and Shumo glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to stop him again.

Huo Xiao walked into the inner room, only to see that under the bright lights of the Sheep's Horn Palace, Doudou was wiping a short sword with a silk handkerchief.

The sword is one foot three inches long, the sword body is thin and narrow, as bright as a clear spring, emitting a faint cold light under the light, which is the "frost soul" given by the old man when he was six years old.

It is said that it is a short sword, but in fact it is not much longer than the commonly used dagger.

The short sword was so bright that it couldn't be brighter anymore, but Doudou was still meticulously wiping it, completely ignoring Huo Xiao who entered the door.

Huo Xiao was a little helpless, it seemed that this lentil was really angry.

He walked over to Doudou and sat down, took her into his arms from behind and said, "Who messed with my lentils?"

Doudou still ignored him.

"Do you want to test your swordsmanship with others?"

"Is it because it's not fun in the camp?"

"Is it the fat ears of wheat who are disobedient?"

"Is the kitchen knife in the kitchen blunt?"

"Do you want to eat the meat of bean paste?"

"Yes......"

Doudou crunged Huo Xiao's chest with his elbow: "It's nonsense again!"

The movements of the hands still did not stop.

Huo Xiao stretched out his hand and wanted to take the short sword.

Doudou reprimanded: "I cut my hands carefully, such a big person, and I am still so frizzy when I do things, I don't think about the consequences at all." ”

There's still something going on here!

Huo Xiao didn't ask, only put his chin on Doudou's shoulder: "Whoever let you see the sword doesn't want me." ”

The voice sounded a thick air of resentment.

Doudou still didn't speak.

"Lentils—"

Doudou continued to rub his sword.

"Daughter-in-law—"

Doudou paused slightly.

"Cousin—"

Doudou finally couldn't help laughing, put the short sword aside and said, "What's the name of the ghost, it's the same as a resentful woman!"

Huo Xiao said: "You can really toss, you can actually turn this sword out." ”

Doudou turned his head and snorted coldly, "Don't let you touch it?"

Huo Xiao smiled: "The whole person is yours, let alone a sword." ”

Doudou simply turned around and looked directly at Huo Xiao's phoenix eyes: "You must take me with you when you go to suppress bandits in the future." ”

"No way. Huo Xiao didn't think about it at all, and directly refused.

Doudou raised his eyebrows: "Are you looking down on me?"

Huo Xiao held her little hand: "Little lentil, the bandits are not joking, they want to see blood kill people, do you dare to kill people?"

Doudou was a little weak-hearted and said: "If you dare, I dare!"

Huo Xiao said: "I don't dare! I don't dare to let you take risks, and I don't want to dirty your hands." ”

Doudou lowered her head and was silent, she didn't really want to kill, she just wanted to find out what Huo Xiao wanted to do.

This guy always makes people feel sour when he speaks, and he can't help but want to shed tears.

Huo Xiao tugged her sideburns for her, and said softly, "Did Jiang Shen say something to you today?"

What did she say about that?

Jiang Shen is the person promoted by General Huo, although he is loyal enough to Huo Xiao, he will never watch Huo Xiao do something harmful to the interests of the general.

General Huo's meaning is obvious, that is, he doesn't want Huo Xiao to force the bandits too hard.

To put it bluntly, he is raising bandits for self-respect!

Doudou grew up listening to the stories of General Huo.

She has always regarded him as the number one hero of the Great Zhou.

She was reluctant to use words like "raising bandits for self-respect" to him.

Raising bandits has been self-respecting since ancient times, and this is an important means used by generals or local officials guarding border passes to obtain rewards and official positions.

The thieves and bandits in the territorial area are not completely exterminated, but a certain strength is retained.

In this way, every few years they will be rewarded by the imperial court for their meritorious work in suppressing bandits, and if the bandits are not eliminated, the opportunity to reward them will not stop.

Doudou is not the kind of girl who is so tall that she is dust-free.

The generals who hold heavy power look like how beautiful they look on the outside, how difficult they are on the inside.

How can hundreds of thousands of troops be sustained by the little salary of the imperial court alone?

The daily training of the soldiers must be maintained.

The horses and ordnance of the army are constantly updated and renovated.

Families of casualties are required to pay for their families......

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

This is true of officialdom, and so is the field.

Everyone is a human being, not a god, who doesn't want to make some benefit from their own home?

But General Huo, a god-of-war figure, tolerated and indulged the bandits to harm the common people, but Doudou still couldn't accept it.

She supports Huo Xiao in her heart, no matter what the purpose is, he forced the bandits so hard, just in this regard, Huo Xiao is more worthy of her respect than the general.

Therefore, whether it was to persuade Huo Xiao to continue to suppress bandits, or to make Huo Xiao obey the general's command, she couldn't speak.

Huo Xiao is such a smart person, he quickly sensed Doudou's thoughts.

He smiled: "Are you afraid that I will offend the third old man?"

Doudou sniffed: "Who is afraid, it is that I feel sorry for you running out day and night, afraid that you will fall before you have time to marry your daughter-in-law." ”

Huo Xiao was very nervous in his heart, and pinched her little face: "So you plan to take the sword to find the bandits and fight hard, and plan to reduce the burden for me?"

Doudou glared at him: "Who is smiling with you, you are honest, why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

Huo Xiao smiled, sure enough, it was the girl he liked, and he didn't ask why he forced the bandits so hard, but why he forced himself so hard.

Doudou was anxious, and twisted Huo Xiao's chest: "What are you laughing at?

Huo Xiao pulled her into his arms: "I want to say that I am all for the sake of the people, you definitely don't believe it, but it is undeniable that this is one of the reasons." ”

Doudou nodded slightly, she still knows what kind of person Huo Xiao is.

Huo Xiao lowered his voice and said, "The more important reason is that I want to fulfill my wish for Your Majesty." ”

Doudou doesn't understand, what connection can His Majesty the Emperor's wish have with the bandits?

Huo Xiao said: "You should know that Your Majesty was degraded to the northwest by the first emperor, right?"

Doudou nodded again, although she was young, she had lived in the Great Northwest for more than six years, so she had naturally heard of it.

Huo Xiao said: "I won't tell you anything about what happened back then, but I just tell you that the biggest bandit leader in Liangzhou is named Wang Batian, and he has a common enmity with His Majesty, and I want to avenge this revenge for Your Majesty with my own hands, and quickly." ”

When he said this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his phoenix eyes.

Doudou wondered: "It's just revenge, but why hurry?"

Huo Xiao rubbed her little head: "Silly girl." (To be continued.) )
