Chapter 238: Dig to the end

Si Baihong didn't follow suit, just held the teacup. "Father, there is a drought here, and the child has brought new tea from Jiangnan, drink this."

As he spoke, he grabbed the verdant tea leaves in his palm and twisted them gently. Directly put it into the celadon cup, soaked in hot water, a fragrance.

The old general drank tea in a big gulp, and the taste was really comfortable. "Kid, it seems like you've got everything in your hands, and that's a good thing."

Si Baihong smiled slightly, and walked out with a high spirit. It took a lot of effort for those soldiers to tie the scarecrows.

"Brothers, you can go back, don't make a fire, don't make a sound, remember to put your bow and crossbow on well, and be more relaxed."

The soldiers, as he had commanded, hid in their tents and looked around vigilantly. It was late at night, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

The robber at the head was a stout man who carried a mace. "Today, kill Dongsheng's border army, and this place will be mine."

The robbers, riding on their horses, looked at the gates of the city. "Why isn't there even one?" They shot a circle of arrows, but no one responded.

The leader of the robbers was emboldened and polished the torch in his hand. "What the hell? Over there, it turned out to be a scarecrow? Give it to the uncle. ”

The robbers banged frantically on the door, and with a bang, the door broke. At this time, there were many jewels piled up in front, gold and silver, shining brightly.

The robbers, when they saw the gold and silver, had their eyes shining. The bandit leader waved his hand. "Don't do it yet, who knows if there is anyone here?"

There was a dead silence all around, and Si Baihong, who was hiding in the military tent, aimed at the eyebrows of the bandit leader, sweating on his palms, and kept trembling.

"Amitabha, bless the villain to shoot." Si Baihong shot the arrow with all his might, and the arrow passed through the tarpaulin, and with a brush, it pierced the robber's eyebrows.

"Whew!" Before the robber leader could react, a stream of blood spurted out of his head, and his heavy body fell to the ground in an instant.

At this time, there was also a noisy shouting all around. The soldiers, beating gongs and drums on one side and making strange noises, on the other hand, shot with bows and arrows.

A group of cavalry in the rear, at this time blocked the gate. Si Baihong shouted loudly. "Those who dismount will not be killed, and the rest of the rebellious thieves will be killed."

The robbers, panicking for a moment, jumped off their horses one after another, knelt on the ground and surrendered. The soldiers, holding them down and tying them aside.

Si Baihong counted the robbers, and there were quite a few of them. "Thanks to my strategy, if I hit it hard, I will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties."

The old general looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction. "These thieves have finally been caught, so that they can be punished, and I will be relieved to be a child."

As he spoke, he coughed loudly a few times and spat out a mouthful of phlegm. There's a little bit of blood in there. "It's really old, it's useless."

Si Baihong looked at the old general's posture and was anxious in his heart. "Father, listen to the child's words, I will go back to the capital tomorrow, it's really too bitter here."

The old general stroked the gray hair on his head, rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead, coughed a few more times, and spit a few times before he barely recovered.

Si Baihong looked at the old general's rickety waist, stretched out his hand, and massaged it vigorously. "These robbers were also eradicated, and the child sent his father back."

It was a long time before the old general fell asleep. Si Baihong held the silk quilt in his hand, covered it layer after layer, and sighed in a low voice. "Life is easy to grow old."

The next day, Si Baihong walked to the school yard and saw those robbers, their hands tied, kneeling down one by one, their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.

He said to the generals on the side. "Let them do hard labor, build a walled city, and guard it strictly, so that they must not lose anything."

Those partial generals nodded calmly one by one. Si Baihong looked at them like that, and he was relieved. Go back and pack your things.

The old general is much more energetic today than before. "Son, go back this time, don't shirk it anymore, the girl I chose is right."

Listening to the old general's chatter, Si Baihong coped with it sentence by sentence. "That's all, it's just for the sake of my father's happiness, nothing else matters."

Thinking of this, Si Baihong felt a sense of loss in his heart. "I'm really annoyed, but this time I went back to the capital, stayed for a while, and I had to come back."

He and a few attendants packed their things in large bags. As soon as the carriage was loaded, the woman also came and knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"General, the little girl also wants to go back to the Central Plains, so I implore the general to take the little girl for a ride." Listening to her words, Si Baihong smiled slightly.

"You can rest assured that I'm not that kind of person." They drove the carriage, brought enough dry food and water, and went all the way to the capital.

The old general's body is also getting weaker and weaker. Even though he didn't have any serious illnesses, he just lay down with his eyes squinted, and occasionally got up to meditate.

Si Baihong served him every day, and his heart was sad. "I just really hope that my father's health can be better and he can accompany me."

The old general listened to his words and said with a wry smile. "Good boy, people will die eventually, but it's just time, I can't see that you have a lady, and I'm not willing to die."

As the old general spoke, the carriage clanged. The old general raised his head and headed towards the back. The back was also knocked hard.

"Father!" Si Bai Hong's heart ached like a knife, he took the warm decoction and said pleadingly. "Drink, boy."

The old general gulped down the potion, and his mouth was bubbling. "That's right, hold a grandson, I can teach him to bow horses for a few years."

After more than ten days, they returned to the capital. Si Baihong left the city for a short time, but it became more prosperous.

The towering pavilion was painted with a golden glow. The people walked, and the roadside was selling things, and there was a scene of harmony and stability.

They returned to the General's Palace, and the old general went to his room and took out a yellow calendar. "It's not appropriate to travel today, tomorrow, according to your eight characters, it's an auspicious day."

Si Baihong smiled when he heard this. "Father, the child is obedient, but stays at home and does not go anywhere." He walked aimlessly in the courtyard.

The warm wind gently blew on his face and raised the bangs on his forehead. The maids on the side, looking at him like that, also avoided one after another.

"It always feels like something has been lost, right here." Si Baihong held his chin and looked at the crisp and clear lotus leaves in the water on the side.

The memory was so distant and vague. He tried his best to think about it, but he really couldn't. However, inadvertently, he stretched out his hand and went into the mud.

Grabbed a beautiful hairpin with a golden glow. "It turned out that she and I fell here that day."

Si Baihong saw things and thought of people, and remembered Song Zhiyao. "This damn hairpin, so much so, every time I want to forget, I jump out again."

He suppressed his emotions, pulled his hair, threw the hairpin back into the water, and ran around the willow tree several times in a circle.

"It's time to stop." His mind suddenly calmed down. As if he was nothing, he accompanied the old general and had a sumptuous dinner.

The entire General's Mansion, a large family, flattered him. "Major General, the prestige of our Si family depends on you to carry it forward, what a hero."

Looking at those people, Si Baihong's mind was better again. "Haha, it's all as it should be, eat, everyone is really gracious."

He was well fed, and sent the old general back to his room to rest him. "I didn't expect that I would be serving people now, it's really funny."

The cold moonlight shone on his face. Si Baihong felt that he had grown up a lot in one day, and his mood was heavy.

"I don't know what kind of woman I'll see tomorrow? Maybe next. Thinking of this, he smiled stupidly and fell asleep for a long time.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by the old general. "It's a good time, match your eight characters, son, come with me!"

Si Baihong looked at the old general, with such a mysterious look, he had no choice but to follow. They walked all the way out of the city and came to a small road.

The sound of the wind on both sides blew lightly, and the branches on the side also drifted away. Si Baihong looked over there, it was a quaint small village.

"It's a wonderful place." He laughed. "It's just like this, my good father is really good at picking feng shui treasures, presumably, there will be some good luck."

They walked to the door of a courtyard, and the old general slowly dismounted, knocking softly on the door. "Brother Meng, my Si Kang is here."

Si Baihong looked at the courtyard gate, and the whole house was so white and spotless. In the air, there is a fresh smell of fragrance.

"This family is also a clean family." Si Baihong muttered quietly. "I just can't do anything else, go to the barracks, and I can wait for cleaning."

Thinking that he would have such an idea, he also grinned. "How could I be like this? Let's take it one step at a time. ”

The door over there, creaked, and opened directly. Out came a gentleman, wrapped in a blue turban, with an elegant face, and said with a smile.

"It's been a long time for the two generals to wait." Several of them also went in together, and when they came to the living room, they sat on the floor. The lady brought fragrant tea.

Si Baihong looked over there, and also hung a lot of elegant things. "The little girl is still a female celebrity in the backyard, and after a while, she will naturally come out."

General Si Lao said to Si Baihong. "Originally, I also wanted to find you a lady in the court, but I was afraid of them and didn't follow the rules."

Listening to the old general's words, Si Baihong coped. "Those people are also sanctimonious, but they are male thieves and female prostitutes, so you don't have to socialize with them."

The old general laughed. "Child, you look at people, as accurate as your father, if it weren't for your father to have such a good lady, where would there be such a good son?"

Hearing this, Si Baihong was very embarrassed. He waved his hand and whispered. "After all, we are guests, don't say so much, drink tea."

He sipped the tea in the teacup, feeling the taste, and drinking it was different from what he had drunk. It is very fresh and elegant, and the tip of the tongue is sweet.

"The tea in this house is really good, and it is not a loss to open a teahouse." He joked with himself again, relieving the tension in his heart, and after a long time, the curtain opened.

Coming over was a tall woman, with a beautiful face and a bright face. There is no makeup, but it is delicate.

Si Baihong looked at her and thought in surprise. "But I didn't expect that there is such a sturdy woman, with this good face, it is really amazing."

The woman sat cross-legged in front of him, smiling politely. "The little girl Meng, whose name is elegant, dare to ask who came, is it Major General Si Baihong?"

Si Baihong looked at the woman, and he was also very polite, and said politely. "The villain is, but he is often in the military and does not understand the world."

Next to the woman, there was a fragrance. Si Baihong always lowered his head, shy in his heart. "What if that's the case?"

His heart, like an electric shock, thought a lot. "It's just that there is always a feeling that my heart hurts, this woman is not ordinary."

Looking at Si Baihong's face, the woman said quietly. "My father asked me to come to see the general, just hoping that the little girl would accompany the general for life."

Si Baihong looked at her, with such an expression, he didn't know if it was polite or if he had other plans. "I'm a man who doesn't have much money, I only know how to fight."

On the side, the two old gentlemen, looking at them, laughed together. "This old Mr. Meng is an incorruptible hermit, and he doesn't want to be vulgar."

Si Baihong stared over there and thought to himself. "It seems that when my mother was young, it was just the feeling in her heart, but it was really subtle."
