The sun slowly sank down the distant mountains, and a bird flew and landed under the eaves outside, chirping, loud and high-pitched.

Huang Xu got up to say goodbye and went out, and Su Ang and his wife Huang Yuyan were sitting. Huang Yuyan was a little relieved, and asked: "Husband, you want the second brother to help you escort the grain and grass, but the second brother has not done this, aren't you afraid that he will miss your big event?" ”

Su Ang got up and put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "It's also the first time I've led troops to fight, and it just so happens that it's the first time for both of us, so I just went to experience the experience together." The second brother is a good person, and he is our family, so I don't have to worry about it. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, there are not many people I can believe, and it is sad to say. If the second brother is really suitable for this, I will always take him with me in the future to help me solve my worries. Besides, you can rest assured that we are together. ”

After hearing this, Huang Yuyan thought that this was indeed the truth, so she lay quietly in Su Ang's arms, she knew in her heart that there were fewer and fewer days to accompany him, and she didn't know why, her heart was a little unsteady, and she always felt that something was going to happen. Originally, I wanted to tell Su Ang, but Huang Yuyan didn't know how to speak, and I was afraid that it would make Su Ang a little uneasy, so I simply didn't say it for the time being.

Su Ang gently stroked Huang Yuyan's smooth forehead, sighed, and said, "I...... Maybe I'm going to go to the school camp from tomorrow, and I can't have no one on the school field, so if someone comes, I'll arrange it in time. ”

Huang Yuyan's body stiffened slightly, and then returned to normal, sat up from Su Ang's arms, and said with a slight smile: "Husband, go ahead, there are people in the house to take care of you, and I will also have someone to take care of, and my father will help you deal with the affairs of the court." It's just that you have to pay more attention to your body, the weather in Mojiaoguan and Jiaozhou is hot and humid, and there are a lot of mosquitoes, so be careful, don't get sick. Huang Yuyan suddenly choked up a little as she spoke, Su Ang stretched out her arm again to stop Huang Yuyan's petite body into her arms, wiped the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, and comforted softly: "I'll be back soon, don't worry, I can come back in half a year at most." Don't worry about other things, I grew up alone and will take care of myself. ”

Huang Yuyan nodded, "I'll go and prepare some things for my husband." ”

Su Ang saw his wife go out, and he also had a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he had to do it, and he couldn't stay in the house like this all the time.

The second day came in a hurry, Su Ang looked at Huang Yuyan, who had not closed his eyes all night, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and reluctance in his heart, but it was difficult to disobey his fate, and he had what he should do. After Huang Yuyan sent Su Ang out of the house, she stood alone on the front steps of the door until Huang Xu came over.

Huang Xu looked at his sister who was depressed and said, "Okay, it's not that I won't come back." Sister, look, you have such a powerful husband, shouldn't you be proud? Let's go back, I still have a lot of things I want to talk to you, but I was embarrassed to say it yesterday because my sister-in-law was there. ”

Huang Yuyan and Huang Xu returned to the house.

Besides, Su Ang walked straight towards the school field, and the emperor had already authorized him not to go to the early court, but only to train the soldiers and horses and prepare to go to the army.

The date agreed with the forbidden army is getting closer and closer, Su Ang's heart is a little bottomless, these days have passed, and no one has brought a strong man. Su Ang walked out of the tent, the bluestone slab under his feet was a little hot from the sun, and from a distance, a mist rose from the ground. Su Ang let out a sigh of relief, when the people heard that it was the imperial court conscription, they were a little disappointed, they were afraid that the government would not be trustworthy, just look at Uncle Yang's change of law, the government obviously gave those good fields to the people, and now it has not fallen into the hands of those people again.

Finally, the first Praetorian guard to go back to the province returned, and the man glanced at Su Ang with some frustration and shook his head again. Su Ang waved his hand to signal him to go back to the camp first, and the man walked into the camp with his fists clenched. These also seemed to be expected by Su Ang, and he didn't feel much panic.

It didn't take long for the second, third...... Nearly half of them had already come, and there were only about 100 strong men who came with them. Su Ang began to panic a little, there would definitely not be 5,000 people in a month like this. Su Ang looked at the group of armor soldiers in front of him, and didn't know what to say, hasn't there always been a brave man under the heavy reward? Why is there no such thing at this time?

Su Ang was annoyed, kicked the stone at his feet hard, and without giving any order, he turned back to the military tent. The Praetorian guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Su Ang spread out the cooked cowhide he had been carrying on the desk, his eyes slid all the way from Zizhou to Mojiaoguan, and then to Jiaozhou, he was silent, two fingers pointed at the table, no one knew what he was thinking.

Time passed little by little, and there was still no sound in Su Ang's tent. The group of armor soldiers on the school field had to disperse on their own. Suddenly, a person dressed as a scholar appeared on the side of the school grounds. A soldier hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "This is a forbidden place, and idlers are not allowed to approach, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

The scholar arched his hand slightly and said, "This military master, I am a friend of General Su Angsu, please go in and report it." ”

"Wait!" The armor soldier turned around and entered Su Ang's Chinese army tent, and after a short time, Su Ang came out, but his face was full of sadness, and his brows were tightly locked.

Su Ang suddenly showed his face when he saw the scholar, and walked over quickly, "How did Mr. come here?" How did you know I was on campus? ”

It turned out that the scholar was Qi Sheng. Qi Sheng waved his hand and walked straight towards Su Ang's Chinese army tent, saying as he walked: "Seeing that the day is approaching, the general doesn't know how the new army is being raised?" ”

"It's a shame to say that only a hundred and ten people came, and there were less than 5,000 people plus those forbidden army guards. What should I do, sir? Su Ang asked a little anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Qi Sheng smiled when he heard Su Ang's words, and said, "It's not that I said, it's okay to be able to come to the hundred and ten." According to my estimate, no one should have come. ”

Su Ang frowned, bowed down, and said, "Sir, Su Ang is in a predicament, I really don't know what to do, and I ask Mr. to teach me." ”

"What is the general lacking most right now?"

Su Ang didn't know what Qi Sheng meant by asking, so he had to answer seriously: "People, as long as there are people at the moment, everything else is complete, as long as you give me the population, I can turn my hands and get soldiers who can fight." ”

"Isn't that it. Since you know that you want people, you can see people everywhere, so what's so difficult? ”

Su Ang frowned again, turned around and said, "Sir, I also know that people can be seen everywhere, but I, Su Ang, am not talented, but I don't bother to force them to come here!" ”

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said after a long time: "I didn't ask you to forcibly arrest them here, but since there are no strong men available outside, why don't you take a look inside?" Although the new monarch ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, but later, because of the enclosure of the nobles of the clan, it caused a lot of armed fights, and which of the people who was arrested in the prison cell of the Punishment Division was not a strong man? I'm afraid that the emperor may not know that there is still such a group of people in the Criminal Division. You have a good relationship with that Fan Shibi, can't you just use this to let those people come to the army? ”

Su Ang suddenly realized, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "Why didn't I think of it? Wonderful, wonderful, I can go to Fan's Mansion to meet Master Fan, and ask him to give those people to me, and I can count Su Ang owing him a favor. ”

"This is still Fan Shibi owes you a favor." Old God Qi Sheng was saying.

"Why does the gentleman say that? I borrowed someone from Fan Shibi, how can I still make him owe me a favor? ”

Qi Sheng got up and walked to the table, "You don't want to go to the Fan Mansion, after all, the people of the Yan family are still watching you today, you just need to send someone there." Thinking that Qiu Xi's gang should be coming soon, you can let Qiu Xi go. Thinking about how to deal with those people, Fan Shibi also took a lot of trouble to deal with them, if he didn't handle them well, it would make the emperor angry, and it was a trivial matter if the official hat was not guaranteed, and maybe he would be in a different place. You say, does Fan Shibi owe you a favor? ”

"Sure enough, Mr. is amazing, Su Ang admires it very much."

Qi Sheng just smiled casually, his eyes were fixed on the cooked cowhide on the desk, and he sighed for a long time: "It's amazing, this picture is really the scene that encompasses the world, and it can be called a work of gods and men." Your teacher Wang Yizi deserves the title of this immortal. It was an eye-opener for me! This picture must be kept in the future, and it must not be easily displayed. ”

"I see. Sir, I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay. ”
