Chapter 115: Grain and Grass First
"Ask the husband the way forward, hate the dawn of the light." Xie Xiaoman looked at the road ahead, thinking about those who didn't have it, and couldn't help but sigh like this.
"What did Sister say?" Xie Xuan was a little puzzled and glanced back at her.
"It's nothing, I just remembered an article." Xie Xiaoman smiled lightly, looking at Xie Xuan's appearance of turning around, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
In the end, it is the Zhilan Yushu of the Xie family, and the children educated by the Shili family of the Xie family of Chenjun are different after all. Don't look at Xie Xuan's young age, but he has an indescribable extravagance on his body. This kind of extravagance is not pretended, but simply and naturally revealed, which does not make people feel condescending, nor does it make people feel flattered, but it is a kind of just right comfort. This kind of appearance and behavior is not something that can be learned casually for a few days. The so-called scholars are indeed extraordinary.
Xie Xiaoman looked at Xie Xuan in front of him, and couldn't help but look down at himself and laugh at himself.
There are some things that are engraved in the soul and cannot be learned by yourself anyway. This is like in China after a thousand years, it is difficult to see anyone who exudes aristocratic temperament, although it is a pity, but it is also inevitable and irreversible.
Xie Xiaoman knew that he couldn't become such a person. In the final analysis, she is just an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, although there are all kinds of encounters here, but the mind is the mind of ordinary people. Simple, straightforward, crisp, whatever you want, take the shortest straight line between two points. So much for.
She's just an ordinary person, doing ordinary things. In Xie Xiaoman's heart, that's what she thinks.
looked at Xue Zicheng with a serious expression beside him. Looking at the talisman on his chest again, Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Lord Xue, why don't you want to put it on my head?" Xie Xiaoman smiled and beckoned to him, "I can still say that I am a zombie with it on my head, and it is nondescript to be stuck to my chest like this." ”
"What is a zombie?" Xue Zicheng was slightly stunned.
"Hey, nothing." Xie Xiaoman sighed softly. This kind of joke is not understood, and it is really one of the problems of life.
The talisman seal on her chest suppressed Xie Xiaoman's aura, making it impossible for her to exert her normal cultivation. Not to mention the use of it.
"Although I also know that Miss Xie may feel uncomfortable, this is also for the sake of the overall situation, and I ask Miss Xie to take care of it." Xue Zicheng, who was riding on horseback, smiled slightly. "Miss Xie doesn't have to think about breaking free. This talisman seal is also the result of my discussion with Zhao Haisheng and Lord Zhao for a long time. It shouldn't be easy for you to destroy it, Miss Xie. ”
Xie Xiaoman rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You can't believe me, and I have nothing to say." ”
Xie Xuan didn't know why, and looked at them and blinked.
He didn't know much about what was going on and where things went, but anyway, in his opinion, a fluttering talisman seal was much better than the cold shackles.
Of course, Xie Xiaoman doesn't think so.
She looked up at the geese flying south. I looked at the ferry not far away, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
"You can go down by boat in front. The journey is much more convenient. Xue Zicheng pointed in the direction of the ferry in front of him.
Xie Xiaoman didn't speak, she just observed everything around her right away, especially when their team approached the ferry, Xie Xiaoman's eyes became brighter and brighter.
There were more boats and people at the ferry than she had imagined. In addition to the busy crowd, sacks of goods were constantly transported off the ship and loaded onto trucks.
These busy people are also wearing simple rattan armor and bamboo armor, and they don't look much different from other teams of the Western Army.
"Lord Xue, Xia Guan has been waiting here for a long time!" A middle-aged man with a beard on his face strode over, bowed to Xue Zicheng, and turned to Xie Xuan's direction, "This is the Langjun of the Xie family, right?" Sure enough, he looks good!"
Xie Xuan returned the salute with a smile: "Where, where." ”
Xie Xuan said as he turned sideways and avoided Xie Xiaoman behind him. The intention is obvious, for fear of blocking this official's salute to Xie Xiaoman.
"Lord Xue, we have already prepared everything you arranged, do you think we should return now, or what?"
The thing that made Xie Xuan frown slightly was that the official did not mean to salute Xie Xiaoman in the slightest, but looked at Xue Zicheng again, as if he hadn't seen Xie Xiaoman at all.
Xie Xuan was slightly annoyed. In his opinion, respecting women is the most basic etiquette, not to mention that he has also learned some information recently, knowing that his sister also has an official position in the Western Army.
Although it is very rare for a woman to be an official, an official is an official after all, where can she be ignored like this?
Xie Xuan frowned, and was about to speak, hugging for his sister.
Xie Xiaoman reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt and stopped him.
Xie Xuan glanced at her puzzled, Xie Xiaoman smiled lightly and shook his head, and there was obviously a bit of flattery in his expression.
Xie Xuan was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, he couldn't complain that Uncle An Shi cared so much about this little man's sister. The taste in this little man's smile is really similar to Uncle An Shi!
"Let's get ready and leave," Xue Zicheng commanded, glancing at Xie Xiaoman, "Our affairs are more anxious." He smiled and said to the visitor.
"Xia Guan understands! The ship is still unloading military rations, and it will take about a quarter of an hour, so please wait a while, I will go and urge you first, and I will invite you to board the ship in a moment! ”
"It's hard work." Xue Zicheng smiled slightly.
"Don't dare! This is what subordinates should do! ”
With that, the middle-aged man turned around and left.
Xie Xiaoman looked at this sack of goods, and he already had a plan in his heart, and when he heard the word "military rations" in the other party's mouth, he was even more happy, and he smiled.
"What are you laughing at, Miss Xie?" Xue Zicheng asked puzzled.
"It's nothing," Xie Xiaoman shrugged, "I was just thinking, you guys are really strict enough to take care of me, and you can be anxious to get rid of me." Now like this, I'm afraid I can't wait for a quarter of an hour, right? ”
Xue Zicheng smiled and shook his head: "Why is Miss Xie like this." You know the general's intentions. ”
Xie Xiaoman laughed and didn't answer.
Of course, this is not her real intention, Xie Xiaoman looked at the busy port in front of him, and he already had a plan in his heart.
For what will be done, she sketches out a simple sketch. However, she now has another problem to solve, and that is the talisman on her chest.
If her spiritual power is kept blocked, she will be like she has lost her arm, and she will not be able to do anything.
But indeed, as Xue Zicheng said before, where is this talisman so easy to unravel?
Along the way, Xie Xiaoman had tried to rampage with his aura many times, but the effect was almost zero.
She roughly studied it, and found that the rune seal seemed to be separated from herself by something, like an extremely fine spiritual wall, so that the rune seal could not be broken from the inside. Well, the only way is to open it from the outside.
Xie Xiaoman thought like this and glanced at the rolling Yangtze River.
"You are transporting things with such fanfare, aren't you afraid that Zhao troops will come to attack this ferry?"
While waiting, Xie Xuan felt interesting, stood in the midst of the excitement and watched it with interest for a while, and asked Xue Zicheng curiously.
Xue Zicheng looked at Xie Xuan's curious face, and realized that he was really just a fourteen-year-old child, and his eyes exuded innocence and were very cute.
"Of course I'm afraid. So, this kind of ferry will always change places frequently. Xue Zicheng explained with a smile, "After all, it is an important supply route for transporting military rations, and the so-called grain and grass go first, this kind of route is one of the most important places when marching and fighting." Once the grain and grass supplement is given a fork, many things cannot be done. ”
"I see." Xie Xuan listened carefully with a pair of big eyes, and nodded from time to time.
Xue Zicheng saw that he was curious, so he told him some detailed things, Xie Xuan was originally young, and it sounded natural at this time, and there was no embarrassment, but he didn't understand what he didn't understand, so he investigated it to the end, listened and asked at the same time, and turned things into a state of on-site internship in minutes.
Moreover, Xie Xuan seems to like things like marching and fighting, his eyes are bright, he is fresh everywhere, and he is curious everywhere. And every time Xue Zicheng explains, Xie Xuan can draw inferences. In the face of such a student, Xue Zicheng also spoke very happily and couldn't wait to teach him.
Xie Xiaoman looked at the two people in front of him, and thought to himself, he couldn't complain that Xie Xuan could fight a battle of the water with less in such a tired Jin Dynasty, and he had this kind of serious study since he was a child, which was really different from ordinary people.
After about fifteen minutes of this story, the bearded officer came up again, arched his hand at Xue Zicheng, and reported that the ship was ready to set sail at any time.
"Will it delay the delivery of grain?" Xue Zicheng nodded and asked.
"No!" Dahan smiled, "This ship was supposed to continue to go back to load grain, but it was just a stopover." ”
"That's good. More brothers! Xue Zi thanked him.
"Lord Xue is really out of sight! The military order is like a mountain, what is there to say thank you or not! The big man smiled heartily.
Led everyone to the prepared boat, and as soon as they came to the deck, they saw a few people swaying out of the cabin.
Seeing this, the officer's face suddenly turned dark, and he rushed forward and scolded with his head and face: "His grandmother's! What the hell are you guys! Lao Tzu just asked you to carry the wounded out quickly, but now it hasn't been lifted yet, where to put Lao Tzu's face! Don't give me a quick exit yet! (To be continued......)
