Zhang Xiaowu, who finished the ninth set of radio gymnastics, went into the house and washed his face, and then ate the chef's made lo mein, the current chef was originally the master of an inn in the city, but the inn had no business and had to fire the cook.

The cook could not cook, so he could only starve, and when he heard that there was a shortage of stove masters in the army, he ran to apply. Jin Sheng, who was in charge of recruiting troops, saw that this person had good cooking skills, so he sent him to the official residence of the garrison envoy, that is, Cheng Chu's former general's mansion, to cook for Zhang Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiaowu ate the food cooked by this cook for a few days, and his appetite was actually raised, so he kept him.

Although Zhang Xiaowu invented noodles, it is ordinary people who really make noodles well, especially local cooks, who have made many improvements to noodles, and there are many patterns in making noodles, and Zhang Xiaowu also makes various noodles every day.

While they were eating lo mein, a scout reported that the Seventh Regiment had suddenly turned back.

"Was the battle lost?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.

"It's not like losing a battle, there are no scars on the armor on the body, it should be an urgent order." The report was reported by Chen Guanxi's subordinate Lieutenant Li Yuan, "According to their speed, there will be another hour to reach Mucheng." ”

"Get ready." Zhang Xiaowu frowned and led everyone to the city gate.

Half an hour later, the shadow of the seventh regiment appeared in the white snow, and the commander of the seventh regiment was Chen Qing, the tiger who went down the mountain, and he saw Zhang Xiaowu leading the crowd to meet him at the city gate, so he rode his horse. Chen Qing naturally heard of the name of Zhang Xiaowu, who killed one of the seven sons of Wuhuan, and was also very curious about this person, he was inconvenient to dismount in armor, so he sat directly on the horse and said: "City Lord Zhang, we have to order to return to the Two Wolf Pass, 100,000 heavy grain and grass are temporarily placed in Mucheng, and please bother the city lord to reorganize." ”

"That's not a problem, but something important is happening?" Zhang Xiaowu asked hurriedly.

Chen Qing said: "When it comes to secrets, I can't say anything, Zhang Cheng Lord and other military departments can give orders." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked in surprise: "Jincheng, don't you save it?" ”

Chen Qing didn't answer, slightly, turned around and left, and the seventh regiment also followed the north wind towards the two wolf passes.

Bai Hao pointed at the arrogant Chen Qing and said fiercely: "Arrogant, my lord, I will definitely be able to smash him to death with a hammer now." ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, turned around and said: "I'm just a military candidate, I am a general, and I can explain to me in person, but I can also afford to look up to me." The generals listened to the order and sent 100,000 stone grain and grass back to the warehouse. ”

"Whoa."

Back in the garrison mansion, the little maid Mangzhong served hot ginger soup to everyone, Zhang Xiaowu took a sip of it and actually had a sweet taste, and said curiously: "Little Mangzhong, where did you get the sugar?" ”

Mangzhong pouted and whispered in disbelief: "Mangzhong is Mangzhong, why do you call me Xiao Mangzhong." ”

Zhang Xiaowu patted the horn on her head and smiled: "Well, I'll call you Xiao Mangzhong, what's the matter?" Not convinced? ”

Mang Chong dodged the big hands and said, "You are the city lord, you have the final say." ”

"Where's this sugar?"

"It was given to me by the Scrivener."

Everyone looked at Wang Yijin, and Wang Yijin smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, this candy was brought by a group of Yue's opera troupe, and Li Chuncheng's subordinates arrested the Yue's people as spies, confiscated all their things, and found fine candy from it." Yue's people are not happy without sugar, and they will carry sugar wherever they go. The Yueshi country grows something called a sweet stalk, which is squeezed out of the juice after a good harvest, and when the juice dries, it becomes a sugar cube and grinds it into fine sugar. ”

The generals laughed and drank the ginger soup one after another, and the cold air was dispelled, Hu Li suddenly slapped and shouted: "One catty, will this sugar be poisonous?" ”

The generals' eyes widened, and some spit out the ginger soup, but they heard Mang Chong rush to say: "No, no, I found a dog to feed a few bowls of this pot of ginger soup before, and the dog didn't die after drinking it, and you won't die." ”

Everyone: "......"

Zhang Xiaowu beckoned everyone to sit down, and guessed with everyone the reason why the seventh regiment turned back after a day and a night, and he said: "Speak freely, guess boldly, maybe Chen Qinghongchao is coming." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this red tide is the popular saying for menstruation, it seems that although Zhang Xiaowu said that he didn't care, he was still very angry at Chen Qing's rudeness. Mangzhong's black little face suddenly turned red, and he said that the adults were really not shy, and they were busy carrying the plates, and everyone laughed again, they didn't mean to harass, but they were used to being rude, and they didn't notice that there was a woman standing next to her—although it was a little girl.

"Could it be that the wind and snow are too big?" Hu Li first guessed, "Those two-year-old White Tiger Army, hundreds of them were frozen to death in the middle of the night and then they were afraid of freezing to death all the way, and they didn't wait for Yashan, they died first!" Hahahaha......"

The generals laughed and laughed, although this Hu Li was usually open-mouthed, it was a pleasure to arrange the White Tiger Army together. Zhang Xiaowu also laughed. But the reason for the fear of the blizzard is somewhat unreasonable, the 7th Regiment has 12,000 cavalry and infantry, not 1,200 people.

Marching combat is not a game, and the marching order will not be changed at will just because of a blizzard - the White Tiger Army is not a young master soldier, how can it run away in the event of a natural disaster? If this is the case, this Chen Qing must have been slaughtered by Ye Xiangdong.

"I don't think the White Tiger Army is demoralized, it's definitely not because of the blizzard, there must be a reason for this." Xiao Kai cautiously analyzed, "It's just that we don't know much about the White Tiger Army, my lord, I suggest sending more scouts to inquire about the news, not only to inquire about the news of the Inuyi, but also to inquire about the news over there of the Two Wolf Pass." ”

Xiao Kai's suggestion immediately reminded Zhang Xiaowu that all their precautions were on Inuyi, but the biggest threat to them came from behind - the imperial court.

Zhang Xiaowu frowned, he thought that an internal intelligence agency similar to the Golden Guard should be established to obtain more information and prepare for the generals of Mucheng. Nowadays, everyone has gradually formed a small group of Mucheng with Zhang Xiaowu as the core, everyone is prosperous and lossy, fortunately, although Zhang Xiaowu is less than twenty years old, his mind is an old monster.

It was not a solution for everyone to speculate, so Zhang Xiaowu sent more scout troops to find out the news.

Zhang Xiaowu considered it, it was really dangerous to establish this intelligence agency similar to Jin Yiwei, and if it was known by the imperial court, it would definitely be punished for the crime of rebellion. Although Zhang Xiaowu is not hungry for the whole family to eat, he can not care about his own life, and his head has a big scar, but if the emperor wants to kill him, he will not only kill him, but his brothers will also be affected.

Zhang Xiaowu was cautious and cautious, thinking left and right to think of the law, and whether or not this intelligence agency was established was of great importance, and he did not dare to make a decision lightly.

Outside the door, Mangzhong said, "City Lord, it's time to take medicine." ”

"What medicine?"

"Sleep medicine, I see that you only slept in the middle of the night and woke up in the morning. When I used to serve my wife, she said that if everyone didn't sleep for four hours a day, their brains would not be good the next day. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If you don't eat, eat a fart." ”

Mang Chong said seriously: "Farts can't be eaten." ”
