After a while, three or four months passed, the weather gradually cooled, and news came from Mrs. Xia's side, Jin'er decided that He Wang, the judge of the Yanbei Criminal Division, He Wang, is in his early twenties, although he is not a famous family, he is better than the population is simple, and there are only two brothers and sisters in the family. Jin'er was arranged by Mrs. Xia to quietly look at each other in Qingyi, although He Wang is not as calm as the fifth master, he is also young and promising. It happened that there was a vacancy in the criminal temple, He Wangluo mentioned the fifth master, and everyone knew that the fifth master was Wu Changzhi County, and last year because of the matter of extra seeds, he was quite proud of agricultural affairs. This year's drought has caused the southern imperial court to suffer from a drought, although it is not a grain that will not be harvested, but the military rations are a little stretched. On the other hand, here in the Northern Han, several crops that came in from outside the fan used the method of the fifth master, and the harvest was excellent, and King Yi's military supplies were naturally abundant, and the prince also highly respected him.

However, in the spring of this year, a batch of timber under the jurisdiction of the Songhe prefect caught fire due to dry weather. This is a felony of killing the head, the little official in charge of the warehouse is less than thirty, there are old people in the family, and there are young ones, and they are usually conscientious, and the prefect can't bear to see it. It just so happened that the fifth master had reported on his work in the past, so he drafted a document for the prefect, only to say that a batch of wood left over from the construction of the government was burned by the mountain fire. King Yi was in a good mood that day, thinking that it was useless to pick up the rest, so he only dismissed the little official, and the county officials and others above were not implicated. With such an official reputation, although the fifth master has no fame, he is very easily promoted to the sixth grade.

Xiaoyu read the letter and thought secretly: "It's a shame that his mother stopped him from taking a concubine at the beginning, otherwise, how can he be promoted if he has a loss of personal virtue and no serious reputation." I hope that the fifth brother can learn a lesson, and he will not do this kind of thing in the future. ”

A few days later, the sixth master and Lan Haoxin received another report from Yanbei, but it was a good news from the front of the southern formation: "King Yi's iron cavalry is in the next city." The last barrier of the capital has been lost. "When they read the palace report, they were afraid that the capital had already been surrounded by ironclad guards, and King Yi was just around the corner

As soon as the sixth master and Lan Haoxin were combined, they were a little worried about the Xidu people. If they heard the news, they were afraid that they would come and attack without stopping. The two deduced for a long time, and King Yi would never return to the north at such a critical moment. In winter, the Xidu people are afraid that their food will not be enough. It is inevitable that there are few people at the border at this time. Come and nuisance the side. The sixth master and Lan Haoxin didn't have time to celebrate the good news in the south, so they hurriedly sent people around to check the beacon tower to ensure that there was wolf smoke everywhere. Dry firewood, brimstone, and trumpet guns were well prepared.

In this way, although the villages around are still inevitably looted by the Xidu people, it is not as easy as before. I always have to leave a dozen or twenty lives in exchange for those grain and cloth. The sixth master and Lan Haoxin naturally had no idleness, and they had to go out to pursue the Xidu cavalry in three days. Running around is tired of running for your life. After coming and going, the people of Xidu saw that the gains outweighed the losses, and the number of attacks was greatly reduced.

As soon as Xiaoyu heard that the fifth master and his wife had returned to Yanbei, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy in her heart. I saw that everything was settled here. The sixth grandmother has a stable wife to follow at any time, and nothing big will happen if she thinks about it. I just want to go back for the New Year and join in the fun. Discuss with the sixth master: "If it is winter, it will be difficult to walk when it snows." I'm going to be out for the New Year this year, Dad. My mother will definitely miss me. ”

The sixth grandmother was a little reluctant to listen to this sister-in-law, and she had the heart to go back with Xiaoyu, but she was not worried that the sixth master would spend the New Year alone at the border, and the sixth master said: "What is this, that is, you are here, so many soldiers have no family, how can I leave them to come back to accompany you." It's better for you to go back to Yanbei, it will be lively during the New Year, and you can also see Ling'er, even when you give birth, someone will take care of you. ”

Xiaoyu discussed with Wen Po again, and Wen Po was naturally willing to go back to Yanbei, so Xiao Yu and the sixth grandmother packed up their things together. I don't want to, but the sixth grandmother's idea changes three times a day, and for a while she thinks that it is better to go back to Yanbei to see her daughter waiting to give birth, and suddenly she is worried that the sixth master has no one to take care of her here. When Xiaoyu saw it, she couldn't help but sigh: "What's so good about getting married, it's not enough to split a heart into eight petals." ”

The sixth grandmother pointed at her nose and said, "You are not married now, I look at it, and I don't worry less." ”

The six masters' hundreds of households and school captains heard that the sixth master's sister was going back to Yanbei, and they also came to see Cheng Yi off, Xiaoyu received a lot of mountain delicacies, but she often went into the mountains with Zhong Min and others to hunt, and she also saved a few fox skins and rabbit skins, which is not unusual. It was Lan Haoxin who sent over two mink furs, Xiaoyu saw that the mink peak hair was clear and shiny, and it was smooth and soft to touch with her hand, and thought to herself: "If I can get a few more, how good it would be to make a fur coat for my father and mother, and now just two of them are enough for two hats." So he discussed with Zhong Min and the tattooed girl: "How beautiful this mink is, let's go to the mountains to fight two more, this is our own fight, and it seems that we are sincere in sending it out." It's just that we can't hit it, so it's good if we get two more fox skins. ”

Zhong Min also thought that this was a good idea, so he took the other guards and Xiaoyu into Nanshan, which was not far from the city. The mountains of the Northern Cold are not high, and there are few lofty mountains, all of which are also near Datong. Nanshan is relatively high, but the terrain of this mountain is quite gentle, stretching for hundreds of miles, even if it is high, it cannot be revealed. Although Xiaoyu has a lot of guards, and it is not the first time she has entered Nanshan, she has never walked into the depths, and the sixth master has sent a few local sergeants who are familiar with the terrain to follow her.

When he entered the mountain, Xiaoyu was a child in the end, and when he saw the pecans on the trees, he couldn't help but climb up, crackling and knocking down a big bag, if Zhong Min hadn't stopped him, he was afraid that he would have to hit it until dark. The tattooed girl dragged her, and after walking for a long time, she entered a pine forest, and the local sergeant Liu Hao said again: "This pine tree is really thick, but I'm afraid it's been some years." The one next to him called Wang Heng forgot about walnuts, and looked up: "The pine tower on this tree is really big, in my opinion, a pine tower can come out of a pound of pine nuts." ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she had to tell Zhong Min to stop, and climbed up to break a lot of pine towers down.

Uncle Liang stood under the tree and asked the soldiers: "We have beaten a lot of foxes, but we don't know how to fight the mink." ”

The sergeant laughed quietly, "Where can we fight, that mink can run faster, faster than lightning." Even if you see it, it's just - the brush flashes in front of your eyes, you can't see whether it's long or flat, and the mink is gone. Vice Admiral Lan was able to get these two mink skins because he had more than a dozen hunting dogs, otherwise, relying on our two legs, I am afraid that we may not be able to see it. ”

Old Uncle Liang nodded clearly, and thought secretly: "This sixth master is also well-behaved, if our eldest lady knows, I am afraid that I will have to ask for a hunting dog with Lan Gongzi, this hunting dog only listens to the master's words, it is the autumn harvest now, and the sixth master has no time to patrol where to take care of her, so he simply does not speak." ”

Xiaoyu fiddled with the mountain-like pine tower for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Where are the pine nuts?" ”

Wang Heng was asked by her with a big red face, and said shyly: "It's a little late at this time, early autumn is the best, and at this time, the pine nuts are eaten by squirrels." ”

Xiaoyu couldn't find a single pine nut with great effort, so she had to throw away the pine tower: "I remember that there is a lake not far to the south, so we might as well go there and set up camp." The group went deep into the forest.

Xiao Yuping also flipped through the fifth master's military book, so he found a slightly higher place by the lake, and divided the guards into two teams, one group was led by Jiang Escort to stay to make a fire and clean up the game. The other group followed her around the camp to check the terrain.

She sprinkled the medicinal powder as she walked, and whispered to Zhong Min: "Those wolves and tigers all leave a smell near their homes, and we have to do the same, otherwise those little animals don't know how to break in, and it won't be good for us to eat them." ”

"Girl, you don't eat less of those rabbits, wild ducks, and pheasants." The tattooed girl asked in her heart, "What did the girl put away?" ”

Xiaoyu grinned: "I just got the five-spice powder from Wang Heng." ”

After that, looking at the dumbfounded appearance of the tattooed girl, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

was laughing, Zhong Min pulled her: "Beware of wolves!" ”

Xiaoyu's laughter stopped abruptly and quickly hid behind Zhong Min. Seeing her hiding quickly, everyone couldn't help laughing and their stomachs hurt, Wang Heng said: "The ninth master is so sharp, I think if we see Mink, we will definitely not be able to run it." ”

Xiaoyu was so angry that she took Zhong Min's hand and complained: "Sister Zhong, you are too bad." ”

As he was talking, a wolf bark was heard not far away, sounding in the direction of the camp. Xiaoyu hurriedly asked Luo Twelve to whistle and ask, and in an instant, there was also an unhurried whistle from Jiang Guard's side.

In the city, Zhou Wei patrolled the border with five hundred guards, and also arrived at Dalini. The sixth master and Lan Haoxin led him to see the daily training of the camp and the deployment around the city. The three of them were of the same age, and the sixth master was a little older, so he held a banquet at home to entertain Zhou Wei and the guards around him.

When everyone drank to a good time, Zhou Wei asked about Xiaoyu, "Before leaving, General Xue asked me to bring a box of things to Miss Xia." ”

The sixth master laughed and said, "She, she ran out to fight the mink." ”

Zhou Wei was stunned and said, "At this time? How many hounds did she have with her? ”

Lan Haoxin sighed: "Not one." Yes, she didn't necessarily want it, so she brought a few guards. That girl has a stubborn and hard temper. "Lan Haoxin is no longer a strong rival like Zhou Li, and she is good friends with the sixth master, so she is not as careful about Xiaoyu as before.

Zhou Wei thought for a while and said: "That mink is mostly in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are no hunting dogs, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to find." Even if you find it, you can't catch it. Besides, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and there are a lot of fierce beasts in the deep mountains that we don't see, not to mention the side, tigers, bears and blind people are common, and you are not worried?
