After surviving November, the sky is finally clear, and the north wind is much lighter.

In the General's Mansion, Mo Feng and Mo Yu are busier than Duanmu Xuan's master these days, and the two of them have to stay by Duanmu Xuan's side as personal guards during the day, and they have to go to big families in the city to act as thieves at night.

Yes, to be a thief. If people know that the "Iron Team" of the dignified Liangren Mansion has now become a burglar for a little medicinal material, let alone a soldier and a warrior, even if the emperor arrives in Liangren, he will not believe it. In the hearts of General Wu Guobing, the "Iron and Blood Team" is a brave man who fights and kills, to put it bluntly, it is a modern special forces, a pillar of the country, how can he be a thief?

But it is precisely because no one believes that no one will think of them even if this matter is thoroughly investigated. What's more, at this time, officials and soldiers are busy relocating the victims and consolidating the city defense, where will anyone check these things, those big families who have lost things can only consider themselves unlucky. Not only was the food looted by the officers and soldiers, but now even the decent medicinal materials in the house have been remembered by the thieves. There is nothing to do but point fingers at the world.

This day is the turn of Mo Feng out of the house, at the beginning of the day, seeing that Duanmu Xuan's study lights out, Mo Feng changed into night clothes, directly over the wall, these days many large families have sent people to keep vigil, but these family members, there is no martial arts, not to mention that now they can't eat enough, they can't sleep well, how can anyone really guard, this time they are looking for a place to hide and sleep.

Mo Feng's harvest this time is not small. I found three ginseng roots, as well as a lot of bird's nest, eucommia, ejiao, angelica, etc., and filled a large bag. almost looted the entire medicine storehouse, and then he retreated.

In fact, Mo Feng and Mo Yu are like this, all for their young master, General Dingyuan. These days, Duanmu Xuan has been eating the same as the victims, although he can share an extra bowl of porridge every day, but in the long run, where can he hold on. But Mo Feng and Mo Yu advised many times, but Duanmu Xuan still insisted on going his own way. Moreover, the medicinal materials in the general's mansion had been exhausted as early as when Duanmu Xuan was recuperating, and there was really no way, so the two discussed becoming thieves. Although if this incident happens, it will lose the name of the "Iron and Blood Team", and it will be a big deal to apologize for the crime with death at that time. As long as you can save the life of the young master, don't say that you are a thief. It is dragon liver and phoenix gall, as long as someone has it at home. They don't mind killing people and overselling them either.

Mo Feng returned with a full load, and as soon as he returned to the General's Mansion over the wall, he heard Duanmu Xuan's voice ring behind him, "Mo Da Guard, these three watches are in the middle of the night, why don't you lie down in the house and sleep, which Qinglou Chu Pavilion is this going to be happy?" ”

Mo Feng was so frightened by this sound that he turned around and knelt in front of Duanmu Xuan, if he could look up. will not be frightened by Duanmu Xuan and tremble. Duanmu Xuan at this time has a good face. Covering his mouth with his hand, he almost laughed out loud, Mo Yu stood behind Duanmu Xuan and wanted to give Mo Feng a hint, but he was afraid that the young master would see it, so he had to secretly worry and pray for Mo Feng in his heart.

"Back to the young master, my subordinates didn't go to the land of fireworks, but they didn't worry about the safety of the general's mansion, so they went out of the mansion to investigate." This Mo Feng was taken aback by Duanmu Xuan at first, but after all, he had been fighting for a long time, and he quickly came back to his senses, and these words were originally pre-conceived words, and when he said it at this time, it was naturally very convincing for outsiders to listen, but of course this person did not include Duanmu Xuan who knew the truth.

In fact, how could these things be hidden from Duanmu Xuan, but he didn't break it, thinking that the two of them were also for his own young master, so he acquiesced. After all, it is of course more important than offending those powerful people, of course, his life and the lives of the people. But Mo Feng and Mo Yu have been going out too often these days, Duanmu Xuan is afraid that the two of them will be tired, so he has no intention of breaking the matter, but he has no intention of reproaching, he just wants to give the two of them a wake-up.

"The ink guard is so hard, when he returns home in the future, I will tell my father to ask for credit for you, but I don't know, what are you doing when you go out to patrol and change into night clothes? And I see that you are still carrying a burden behind your back, I don't know what kind of swords, guns, swords, and halberds are contained in it, and if you open it, it will also open your eyes? ”

"The young master clearly investigated, the subordinates did not intend to deceive, this is not a glorious thing, but the subordinates are worried about the young master's body, so they make their own opinions, and they have nothing to do with others!" Mo Feng saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he let it out. But he can't pull the ink rain into the water, if someone is to be punished, he is willing to bear it.

Mo Yu didn't understand, Mo Feng was protecting him, and he couldn't let Mo Feng take all the blame alone, so he took a few steps forward and knelt with Mo Feng, "Young master, this matter is the idea of his subordinates, and Mo Feng was only forced to do it by his subordinates as a last resort." If you want to punish your subordinates, punish your subordinates! ”

"Mo Feng, Mo Yu, you are dedicated to me, how can I punish you and others, you all get up first!" Duanmu Xuan put away his smiling face, his expression was serious, although the young master had already said that he would not punish them, but looking at the young master like this, Mo Feng and Mo Yu were still a little worried, they were not afraid of punishment or even life and death, but if the master drove them out of the Iron Blood Team because of this matter, it would be more uncomfortable than asking them to die.

"Mo Feng, I already knew what you and Mo Yu did, and I don't blame you for this, you are my personal guard, you can think about me everywhere, what's wrong. It's just that you should be more careful in the future, after all, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, don't be taken by others, and then I, the master, am afraid that it will be difficult to protect you. And if you let your father know about this, with his temperament, I am afraid that you will not be able to keep it! ”

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but be a little afraid, for the young master, in addition to taking him as the master, they also have some brotherly affection, but the old master is different, that is the person they respect from the bottom of their hearts, thinking of the old master's broken hand, the two couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and thanked Duanmu Xuan again and again, "Thank you young master for your kindness!" ”

"This matter will stop, don't waste all these looting, you follow me these days, don't talk about whether you have enough to eat, and you have to suffer every day, and make up for it together, don't be okay then, you are all tired. What's the use of having a bare-bones general like me? ”

"Yes. The subordinates must take care, but these medicinal materials are still kept by the young master and eaten slowly, and I don't know how long such a day will last? "Mo Feng, where are they willing to eat such good medicinal herbs.

"It's an order. You just have to do it. There are also guests in the house who have to take care of it, at least three meals a day to fill their stomachs. ”

"Yes!" Mo Feng and Mo Yu were happy in their hearts, not only did the master not blame, but also thought about them everywhere, and listened to the young master's meaning, and he would not tell the old master about this matter, but acquiesced in their private behavior. Follow such a master. From the bottom of their hearts, they are willing to die for it.

The disaster report of Dunhuang County and the emergency military performance of Duanmu Xuan finally reached the capital on the first day of the lunar month. Emperor Wu was shocked, summoned all the officials in charge of the three provinces and six departments into the palace overnight, and early the next morning, sent the seven princes to rush to the border city with 3,000 cavalry. Then the household department raised money for grain and grass relief, and on the fourth day of the lunar month, the military department sent people to escort them to the northwest.

But far water can't save the near fire. People die every day in the border city, and some even kill people to feed themselves. It's just that these disturbances and chaos have nothing to do with Situ Yan and them, they only live their own lives in their own yards.

But this is the situation, God seems to think that this picture of purgatory on earth is not exciting enough, on the fourth day of the lunar month, the sky once again snowflakes, although it is only moderate snow. But it rained for a whole day and night before it turned to light snow. Even Duanmu Xuan didn't just guard the General's Mansion. And personally led people to patrol the city every day.

Wu Jin is a little anxious these days, thinking that as long as there is no more snow for half a month, the rescued grain and grass can be transported, but he doesn't want the grain and grass to wait, and wait for the snowfall, although this house and horse shed can still be supported, but such an aimless wait still makes him very uneasy.

Situ Yan was also a little anxious in her heart, after all, this kind of waiting was more torturous than a real fight, but she couldn't show anything, otherwise Wu Jin was afraid that she would collapse at this moment, let alone the 30 victims who stayed here. These people are all pointing at their brothers and sisters! Thinking of this, she would try to persuade Wu Jin from time to time, "Brother doesn't need to worry so much, the snowy road is difficult to travel, even if the court's decree arrives, it will be blocked from being transported outside the city at this time, let alone us." Fortunately, we have been prepared, and it is not a problem for the family to store grain and grass to survive this winter, and everyone in this room is still pointing to my brother to make ideas! Brother can't fall like this! ”

Wu Jin understands these truths, but he doesn't know why, he just feels flustered inexplicably, looking at such a calm little sister, he is a little embarrassed, "Yan'er, my brother is very helpless, I don't know what else to do next?" I don't even know if we'll survive this month, but what about next month? There seems to be no end to such days! "Anyway, it's not just this one thing that his brother is embarrassed in front of his little sister, and it's not just this time, it's better to talk to his little sister well, and it can also calm down his mood.

Situ Yan saw that Wu Jin was willing to say, so she was relieved, "It looks like it's already the wax moon, and spring will start in another month, this snow won't always fall like this, there will always be a time to stop." When spring begins, the days will be better. The elder brother should think about how the elder brother should deal with it when the imperial court sends someone down, how to persuade them to believe that how we can save so many war horses, and how can we raise so much grain and grass, so as not to let that villain cause trouble in vain? is obviously meritorious, but in exchange for mistakes! This is also what Situ Yan is most worried about these days, after all, there are two official words, and it all depends on personal thoughts.

"You really have to put it all together?" Wu Jin was persuaded by Situ Yan like this, but he was a little distracted, and the anxiety in his chest seemed to be really much less. And Xiaomei's worries are not superfluous, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he has long been used to these things.

"For my brother, Yan'er is nearly ten years old, and she has read the book of sages for so many years, but she can't read it as thoroughly as Yan'er!"

"If you care, it's chaotic, it's because my brother cares too much about me and cares about the life and death of these people that he is so anxious. This is precisely because of her brother's kindness and generosity, Yan'er remembers that when her mother was alive, she was also like this! "Situ Yan is not very good at persuading people, and she is afraid that Wu Jin will be suspicious when she talks too much about it, the best way is to bring out Situ Wan, the first mother, every time Wu Jin hears the word mother, it will become different.

"Yan'er, you still refuse to forgive your father?" Wu Jin was still a little sad that his little sister never mentioned his father.

"Why should it be difficult for my brother, some things are done, and even caused irreparable damage for a lifetime. I can't just because someone else is no longer there, I can pretend that it didn't happen, and I can forget that every time I think of those bitter poisons, I think of my mother's unwilling eyes when she was dying, and I wake up even in a dream. How do you ask me to forgive? These are the feelings of the original owner, although she has not seen it with her own eyes, but she can think of it.

And her character is like this, if she is wrong, she is wrong, even if she regrets and makes up for it, the consequences have already been caused, and the facts that are certain cannot be changed. Just like when Li Dalang was at the beginning, he would rather believe that Li Sanzhu would not hurt Shiro than believe her, even if she stopped pursuing and reconciled with Li Dalang later, but the scars in her heart have been caused, even if the wound heals, but the scar is still there, and it will remind her all the time that this person once had doubts about herself. This is why she refuses to forgive Wu De.

"Okay, for my brother, I won't persuade you anymore, everything is my father's own fault, and I don't want others. Originally, we could live happily as a family, but we didn't want to be separated forever like today, and only our brothers and sisters remained. Yan'er, you promised to be a brother, you must live well, no matter whether you can change your family this time, for the sake of your mother's spirit in the sky, we must also live well! Wu Jin felt guilty about his mother Situ Wan, and his feelings for his father Wu De were much more complicated, but after so many years of feudal etiquette, he abandoned his dead father, and he couldn't do it, so compared to Situ Yan, Wu Jin's heart was very conflicted.

"Be so! Although he is ashamed of my mother and me, I will not hurt my body and let my mother go to heaven without rest. If we are lucky enough to return to the capital this time, my brother will definitely take me to visit my mother, I haven't been to my mother's grave for more than three years to kowtow! But my daughter is the most unfilial! Although I haven't seen Situ Wan, in Situ Yan's heart, this mother is still worthy of her respect.

"Good!" The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Wu Jin regained his former brilliance. Situ Yan can also do things with peace of mind.

And whether Wu De, who is in the underworld, will regret it at this moment, only he knows. (To be continued......)
