Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 79 There are frozen bones on the road
Early the next morning, Guo Yi got up and played a set of knife techniques by the study, using the hidden edge. He played a set of eight-step knife techniques most commonly used in infantry combat in the Anxi army, and felt a little more active up and down.
Pei Man was waiting with a towel on the side, and when he saw Guo Yi put down Zang Feng, he approached and handed over the towel and said, "How is it?" ”
Guo Yi took the towel to wipe his sweat and said, "It's a good knife." ”
"Where's Dayi?"
"I haven't tried it yet." Guo Yi handed the towel to Pei Man, put the knife into the sheath, and said, "Take it to Xu An." ”
"Willing?" Pei Man seemed to be smiling.
"What's there to be reluctant to."
The two of them said and walked towards the dining room.
Today, Guo Yi has to go to the Black Wolf Army, but because of the Skill Tiger Zhuo, Guo Yi and Xu An will go today.
In the dining room, Xu Anshu Huzhuo was already eating. This breakfast is millet porridge and a few dishes of light vegetarian dishes. This is the most nourishing way to eat.
"Teacher." Shuhu Zhuo stood up and saluted.
Guo Yi waved his hand to signal him to sit down, took an empty bowl himself, filled a bowl, and said, "The house doesn't have to be so polite, troublesome." ”
"Yes." Shuhu replied.
Guo Yi suddenly found that Xu An's eyes were blue and black, obviously he didn't have a good rest last night, thinking of what Pei Man said last night, he decided not to ask anymore, and finally couldn't stop talking, smiled, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" I stole cattle last night. ”
Xu An looked as usual and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, and I squinted for a while before dawn." Of course, he wouldn't tell him about his encounter with Li Qingzhen, so he could only pass it perfunctorily.
Seeing that Xu An's bowl was empty, Guo Yi actually got up to fill it for him, and said, "It's not easy today, the Black Wolf Army camp seems to be farther away than the East Camp?" ”
"The Black Wolf Army is all cavalry, and there is not enough place on the outskirts of Datong City for horses to run, so they are repaired a little far away from the city." Shuhu explained in a loud voice.
At this time, Pei Man came over, and the one in his hand was the Da Yi Sword, which Guo Yi had just instructed him to take. The two of them were almost there, Guo Yi remembered the Dayi Sword placed in the study, and asked Pei Man to bring it for him.
Guo Yi took the Dayi Sword in his hand, weighed it, handed it to Xu An, and said, "You can use it." ”
Xu An couldn't react for a while, and asked out loud for a while: "My lord, why are you doing this?" ”
"This sword is easy to use, you take it and cut off a few more heads for me." Saying that, Guo Yi looked at Shuhu Zhuo and said, "I left Zangfeng by myself, so I don't have a weapon for you, you remember, Guo Yi owes you a weapon." ”
Shuhu smiled and said, "Do you still need to choose weapons?" There are in this Datong City. ”
"I'll find you a better bow, I'm afraid the sword won't be as good as you want."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Eat more, and after eating, you'll hit the road," Guo Yi said, turning his head to look at Pei Man, and said, "Sit down and eat?" ”
"I won't eat it, I'll go and see the mount for you first." After saying that, he walked out of the dining room.
Shuhu saw Pei Man going away, and said, "Steward Pei is careful, and Sister Wei said that they are very well taken care of in the house. ”
"That's how it should be. When you come back from the Black Wolf Army, you will prepare well for the affairs of the Invalides, and that matter cannot be delayed any longer. Guo Yi said.
"Yes."
"Eat, eat, eat." Guo Yi said, almost with drinking, put a bowl of millet porridge into his stomach, and took care of the second bowl by himself.
After breakfast, the three of them rested for a while, and then went to the stable and led their mounts out to the west of the city. There are only three of them today, so it's a lot quicker to act.
Xu An wore the Dayi Sword on his waist and walked at the forefront, while Guo Yi and Shuhu Zhuo were walking while discussing the affairs of the invalids.
Suddenly, Xu An stopped the horse's hooves. This place was already close to the West City Gate, and I saw a person lying on his stomach in the middle of the road.
"My lord, this." Xu An asked aloud.
Guo Yi and the others also noticed the person in the middle of the road, Guo Yi said: "You go down and see, whether you are dead or alive." ”
"Dead." Before Guo Yi's words fell, Shu Huzhuo had already spoken: "There is no pulse on the neck anymore." ”
Shu Hu Zhuo looked at the man's exposed skin again, all of which were a dull pink, and he continued, "I froze to death, and I died last night. ”
Guo Yi took a closer look at the man's clothes at this time, it was really shabby and thin, although it didn't snow in the past few days and nights, it was enough to freeze to death.
"Are you going to remove him?" Xu An asked.
"Let's walk around, someone will clean it up." Guo Yi said, and took the two of them around the side of the road.
"Are there people who freeze to death in Datong City?" Xu An seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was not small, and Guo Yi and Shu Huzhuo could hear it.
"There are many people who freeze to death and starve to death in Tianjing City every year, and Datong City is located on the border, so it is normal to freeze to death a few poor mud legs. I just hope that I will be reincarnated well in the next life, go to a rich family, and eat and wear without worry. Guo Yi said.
"Is there a time in the world when people don't starve to death?" Shuhu Zhuo asked.
"Absolutely." Guo Yi looked at him and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, although it was said that the war in various places had just been extinguished and there was a shortage of materials, the army and the people were united and the officials were honest, so no one would starve to death at that time. ”
"The poorer you are, the more hungry you are?" Shuhu Zhuo then asked.
"It can't be said that the Han is not poor now, but it is not rich, but there are not a few people who die of poverty." Guo Yi glanced back, and could no longer see the person's body, and said, "I can't save the people of the world, but since I am the chief soldier of this Datong City, I will try to make Datong City less of a few souls who died of cold and starvation." ”
Shuhu Zhuo looked at Guo Yi and said, "The teacher is a good person. ”
"What a good man." Guo Yi snorted and said, "In his position, he will do his job." I'm just doing my part. ”
Xu An didn't know when he had fallen to the last of the three, he listened to Guo Yi's words, his eyes were a little dull, and his teeth bit the tip of his tongue gently. He was ecstatic at the moment, but it was hard to express, what Guo Yi said was exactly what he Xu An had always wanted to do. That's why he was willing to bring five hundred Anxi troops to the north, and he felt that this would be a good place to make a big difference.
Guo Yi and Shu Huzhuo talked about a period of history, talking about those peaceful years in the world, and walked far away, Guo Yi turned around and saw Xu An being left far behind, and immediately shouted: "Go faster, do you want to count ants?" ”
Hearing this, Xu An woke up from his ambition, pulled the reins, and the mount under him threw off his steps and ran to Guo Yi and Shuhuzhuo.
"What do you think, so obsessed?" Guo Yi asked.
"Think about how to make the world starving no one die."
Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "This is the emperor's business, and we shouldn't take care of it." After speaking, he looked at the road ahead, and the west gate could already be seen, and said, "Speed up the pace, just the three of us will run faster." ”
As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi pulled the reins, and the night lion rushed out like an arrow. Shu Huzhuo and the others also quickened their pace and followed Guo Yi.
The sergeant in charge of guarding the West City Gate today saw three knights rushing all the way, and immediately put down his weapons, blocked the road of the city gate, and asked Guo Yi to come down for inspection. Of course, Guo Yi took the initiative to dismount and looked at the soldiers defending the city with a serious face.
"You're all from the Ten Guards?" Guo Yi asked.
The soldier who was touching Guo Yi's sleeve heard this, straightened up, looked at Guo Yi, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Guo Yi." Guo Yi smiled and pointed to himself, took out a sign from his waist that had not yet been searched, and handed it to the soldier.
The soldier took the waist card and glanced at it, and the next moment he knelt down and saluted, saying, "I don't know the true face of the chief soldier, and I am offended." Seeing the soldier kneeling down and saluting, the soldiers behind him put down their weapons in their hands and saluted.
Guo Yi helped him up, put the waist card back, and said, "This is your duty, you have done a good job." ”
Then he turned over and asked with a smile, "Do you still need to check?" ”
"No need." The soldier waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him all got out of the way, and Guo Yi took Xu An and Shuhu Zhuo out of the West City Gate.
The soldiers looked at Guo Yi's distant back, and one of them said, "That's General Guo, who beat General Lu to the point where he couldn't do it, how does he look like a scholar?" So kind. ”
"Go, go," the soldier who had just searched Guo Yi waved his hand and pushed the soldier, and said, "What do you know, Mr. Guo is introverted, introverted, do you understand?" All back to the location. ”
A group of soldiers gathered together to say a few more words, and stood still by the door, continuing to check on the people who came and went.
