Chapter 113: The Rich
"It's also a shame," Xie Xiaoman laughed twice, rubbed his neck and said, "When I was originally on the mountain, I always liked to pester my master to talk about some romance scripts and other things. What the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun Tzu's Art of War. In fact, I don't understand all the main things, but I like those curious things, so I know a little bit about these fire attacks, water attacks and other military techniques, but they are just half-baked. Now that I say it, I make you laugh. ”
"It turns out that Miss Xie is a heroine when she is young!" Yan Hongshuo smiled and played a round game.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Xie Xiaoman said ashamedly.
When these words came out, Tai Pingchang also retracted his suspicions, and echoed Yan Hongshuo twice with a smile, and continued: "Miss Xie is right, this kind of Fu Seal kung fu can indeed have a real effect on the battlefield." It's just a matter of a daughter's body, a woman dressing up as a man or something, but it's really something that can only be used in a romance novel, which one of the discerning people really can't see it? Actually, that's not the most important issue these days......"
"There are some words ......" Tai Ping glanced around and lowered his voice, "These words can come out of my mouth and into the ears of the three of you, so don't spread them again." I circled the camp twice today, and the general meant that he wanted to attack in a big way! ”
"Oh? But what did you hear? Yan Hongshuo raised his eyes and asked.
"I can't say anything about the wind. As for the reason, I have heard some people say it, and I have thought about it myself, I am afraid that it is nothing more than two points. First, it was a small battle with the Yan army before, although it was not a military achievement. But after all, they had the upper hand. Second, naturally, it is because the hussar general is now a little unable to stay in the east. I want to make some military achievements and return to the capital as soon as possible. ”
"It's human nature." Yan Hongshuo nodded, but his expression couldn't help but be a little hesitant, "It's just, what are the chances of winning?" ”
Tai Ping smiled and said: "How dare you do such a thing as a war?" It's just that when the wind is good, we set sail, and when the wind stops, we drop anchor, and that's it. To put it bluntly, it's like sailing...... Miss Xie, don't worry, this matter is actually related to you. Because of the place in Yan Kingdom, it can be said that it occupies a lot of outstanding people. There are not many sects of cultivation in the territory. I have fought with that side a few times before, although the ability of the cultivators is not very strong, but after all, there are quite a few of them, and this wheel battle is down. It really cost the old man's life. ”
"The two countries are at war. The soldiers are working hard below, in fact, they don't know, we are also working hard in the invisible places behind our backs! I injured Ren in the battle last year, and I didn't take a break until two months ago, and now that I'm older, I don't want to really fight for this old life anymore. ”
"So, before in the army. I also told the general about this. The general searched for another monk in our army. It's kind of here to help me. It's just that...... Miss Xie, don't be too happy. In addition to you, we also have a character in Tiger Mouth Town who wants to serve. I met today, but I didn't even see the depths. The errand you want is a must-have fight. ”
Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this: "It seems that the monks in the army are still a hot job?" Why are there more people not called in the army? Just two people? ”
Tai Chang smiled a little embarrassedly: "I won't play with you either, to put it bluntly, it's just because of the words 'tight military spending'." ”
"I see," Xie Xiaoman nodded, "It's not that I'm worried, I didn't think about getting paid or anything, I just wanted to put in a little effort, but I couldn't spend the military money." ”
"This ......" Tai Ping looked at Xie Xiaoman with a strange gaze, "Miss Xie, you probably just came down the mountain, and you don't know much about life in this mortal world." Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or pills for ordinary cultivation, all of them cost money. If you don't find a way out......"
Tai Ping glanced at Yan Hongshuo next to him, and then said to Xie Xiaoman: "Although Mr. Yan is hospitable by nature, it's not good for us to live here all the time, right?" ”
"Don't, don't! This is where the words are! Yan Hongshuo hurriedly smiled, "The two of you live in the cold house, it's too late for me to be happy every day, I show off to others all day long, and there are two immortals staying with me." If you two are willing to live with me all the time, then the smoke has risen from my Yanjia grave! Besides, Miss Xie is kind to my unfilial son, and if she didn't slap him to death, she was already raising her noble hand, I am repaying my kindness, what's wrong? ”
When Tai heard this, he couldn't help but say a few polite sentences.
Xie Xiaoman didn't say much, just smiled and watched the two talk. Tai Ping didn't like Xie Xiaoman's current appearance, and gave her a look, meaning to let her also express a few words of gratitude.
Although Xie Xiaoman didn't like it, he didn't have too much anger in his heart, he just felt that this Tai Ping was indeed a good person in addition to vanity, and now this action is obviously to promote himself as a junior.
It's just that Xie Xiaoman didn't have the consciousness of being a junior of others, she smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Tai and Mr. Yan don't have to worry, I have money." ”
"Huh?" Tai thought he had misheard.
"Master left me a lot of money, which should be enough for me to spend for a while." Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly.
She asked for half of Lanyuelou's dry shares from Huan Wen, not to mention the expenses for a while, it was enough for a lifetime.
There was silence in the room, and even Xing Ge's gaze at Xie Xiaoman was a little wrong.
In this era, there are really not many rich people, and even fewer people dare to claim that they are rich. Xie Xiaoman was wearing a narrow-sleeved skirt that was simple to the extreme, but he said such a sentence when he opened his mouth, and he didn't have any other thoughts except for making people feel "bluffing......
"That's it......" Tai Ping glanced at Xie Xiaoman again, with a crying and laughing look on his face, "In this case, what ...... Ay! Anyway, you're going to come with me tomorrow morning! Let's go to the barracks to see the situation first, and we'll talk about the rest later, what do you think? ”
"Good! Then thank you seniors. Xie Xiaoman smiled and bowed his head.
……
……
The military camp of the Zhao army was built on a hill not far from the town of Hukou.
The reason why Hukou Town is named after the word "Hukou" is precisely because it is located in a basin between two mountain ranges, and the terrain is similar to the Hukou of human hands.
The military camp of the Zhao army was stationed on the top of the mountain, which was not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also very suitable for watching the enemy's situation, and could climb high and overlook it at any time.
Xie Xiaoman was waiting for the hussar general to summon him, and at this time he was standing on the top of the mountain to blow the wind.
Tai Ping had already gone in first, and the time was not short, probably discussing something with the general. Xie Xiaoman was not in a hurry, she just looked at the direction of the east, looking at the newborn sun, and the faint estuary on the horizon, her heart was empty, and she didn't want to think about anything.
The smell and sound of the barracks are all around, but it is much better than the barracks of the Jin army, there are hardly too many things that are disposable, there are neat simple houses everywhere, flat and spacious training grounds, and military stoves displayed straight up, all of which give people a sense of order.
Fighting a prepared enemy with a tired army, the enemy has occupied such a superior terrain...... I can't complain that the Yan army wants to join forces with Huan Wen, otherwise Hukou Town alone will not be able to be taken by tens of thousands of people.
"This place has a good terrain and sufficient reserves, even if it is besieged, it will not be able to go down without three months, so it is easy for no one to dare to besiege."
Xing Ge seemed to see Xie Xiaoman's thoughts and stepped forward.
Xie Xiaoman looked at him and nodded, but he couldn't help but smile lightly in his heart. Occupying such a good place, the hussar general of Zhao State still wanted to take the initiative to attack and build military achievements? Sure enough, if you don't die, you won't die, this sentence is really not a lie.
"You don't have to report to the army? Don't you centurion go and explain it first? Xie Xiaoman asked.
"I, Xing Ge, have been missing for many days, but I don't care about this day or two. Xie Niangzi, you are not familiar with life here, it is better for me to stay by my side. Xing Ge said with a smile.
Xing Ge really looked like a bodyguard, with his hands behind his back, and his legs were spread apart, standing still like a mountain.
Xie Xiaoman smiled and thanked him and continued to blow the wind.
Not far away, the sound of drill could be heard, and the soldiers waved their spears in their hands, the iron of the tips of which reflected the clear light of the sun.
"Ahem-" Xing Ge seemed to want to say something, but he was a little embarrassed, "That, Xie Niangzi...... Are you really rich? ”
"How do you ask this?" Xie Xiaoman looked back at him and blinked.
"Because you said ...... yesterday"
"I do have a little money, not much, but not too little." Xie Xiaoman spread his hands, "But now it's not there." ”
Not now...... Xing Ge repeated these words in his heart, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Ahh I was careless! Xing Ge, do you want to send some money home? Or are you running out of cash now and need money to spend? If that's the case, I can figure it out for you, but ......"
At this juncture, there is definitely no way to ask Huan Wen. And, even if the timing was right, he had no idea of meeting again after he said something like that before. If she had to solve the problem of money now, it seemed that she could only go back to her old job, but who should she sell this talisman to......
"That's not what I meant, you're mistaken! Misunderstanding! Xing Ge hurriedly explained, "I'm just a little curious." ”
Xie Xiaoman nodded: "It's okay, I know, you don't have to be nervous." But what you said is really a problem, and I should think about it......"
"You are that Xie Xiaoman? The monk who had just died of his master, who had come down from the mountain? ”
At this time, a slightly provocative voice came into Xie Xiaoman's ears. (To be continued......)
