Teng Que was cut off the horse, and the rest of the horse thieves fled one after another, Zhao Can, Liang Zheng and others covered up and chased hundreds of meters, and killed more than a dozen horse thieves, and then turned back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When these iron guards looked at Shi Danai, they all had some expressions of awe, they couldn't imagine that this burly man was so hidden and so strong in kung fu.
At that moment, the guards counted the number of people, and the iron guards died two people, from twelve guards to ten, and more than half of them were wounded, and their combat effectiveness was lost a lot in a short period of time.
Seven or eight people were killed and wounded, and the rest were bandaging their wounds, full of grief and indignation.
However, together, they killed more than 40 bandits and captured dozens of healthy horses, which is also a credit.
Zhao Can opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, in this battle, we killed dozens of thieves, the merit is not low, I will record it in the copy, and when you go back, tell General Luo, there will be a meritorious reward, and the deceased can also have a pension." ”
The leaders of the border garrison troops, the officers, and the soldiers nodded their heads one after another, feeling that this was reasonable, and their grievances were reduced a lot, and they began to tidy up the carriages and horses, remove the corpses, bury the bodies of their comrades-in-arms on the spot, set up a tomb plaque, and did their best. After all, after joining the army, life and death parting have been seen a lot, horse leather shrouds, bloody battlefields are often encountered, it is impossible to run the corpse back and forth, and it is easy to produce corpse plague, so they are all buried in a place on the spot.
In this process, Luo Zhaoyun endured it and didn't go out, he couldn't expose himself at this time, so he simply ignored it, but let these non-commissioned officers ignore it directly, and didn't think of him as a crazy boy at all.
After the guards stayed for two hours, they continued on their way, and did not encounter any more dangers, passing through Huairong County, all the way to the northwest, becoming more and more desolate, except for a small village with few families, there were almost no people, so after a day and a half of hurrying, they finally arrived at their destination.
This is the northwest of Youzhou's jurisdiction, the mountain range area of the Yanshan branch.
As the sun sets, an afterglow shines on the mountains and wastelands, with withered grass and withered mountains and forests, and the barrenness and depression of the north after autumn can be seen at a glance.
The guards followed the rough map in their hands and found the manor house.
Because it is located in the border area between the grassland and the northeast, the north of the mountain range is the vast grassland, which is blocked by an old Great Wall and Yanshan Mountain, which is isolated from the direct connection between the Turks and Youzhou.
The frontier is sparsely populated, the fields have not been reclaimed and utilized, the slopes and fields are mostly covered with barren weeds, as far as the eye can see, and occasionally a herd of horses can be seen passing by, this is close to the Yanshan Horse Farm set up by the Sui Dynasty, and this manor is a property of the current horse farm owner bribing the supervising general Luo Yi.
After all, although there is a lot of wasteland here, the people are not allowed to cultivate it at will, and the existing cultivated fields are inspected by the imperial court, and after the fields are verified, the regular fields registered in the register, and the taxes they bear, etc., part of them must be handed over to the officials who hold official positions here, which is a source of local officials.
Luo Zhaoyun got off at the door, looked up and saw a large mansion covering a wide area, the style is more spectacular than many rich and noble families in Jixian County, Youzhou, the gate of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, there is a horse tether stone on the left side of the door, there is a hanging lamp pole on the right side of the door, and there is no stone carving such as a stone lion on the door, because in this Sui and Tang dynasties, it is very particular, the official position is above the six grades, and the title is higher than that of Uncle Hou, so he is qualified to put a jade lion at the door.
He looked at the wide mansion in front of him, with blue bricks and gray tiles, high walls and deep courtyards, eaves and wings, magnificent, for Luo Zhaoyun, there was a sense of expectation, from now on this is his home, and it is also the place where he rises, and to change his fate, he will struggle from here for several years.
The guards all stayed in the Zhuangyuan Mansion that night, and Feng Yao, the housekeeper who was in charge of the place, came to the main hall with a few servants to meet the new master.
Luo Zhaoyun only called Mu He and Shi Danai to follow, formally met with the servants in the main hall, took out Luo Yi's letters and tokens, and took over the money and materials, account books, and some treasury keys.
"Shao Dongjia, all the accounts are here, the inventory in several warehouses is recorded, and there are still some money and silver in the underground stone cellar, which are also recorded in the account books."
The chief housekeeper Feng Yao is about fifty years old, and there are still a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his body is very tough, he doesn't know what happened in Luo Mansion in Jixian County, and he doesn't know that this young owner is already a little crazy person with a reputation, so he is still very respectful to him.
After Luo Zhaoyun took the accounts, he handed them to Mu He and said: "My father has official business, guarding one side, and I don't have time to take care of these trivial matters, from today onwards, I will live here for a long time in a few years, learn horseback riding and archery, business methods, etc., in the future, all matters in this family will be reported to me, is there a problem?" ”
"Of course, the young master is so old, he came out to hone, you can know the importance of Luo Gong's instrument and cultivation heart, the old slave will do his best to saddle the horse for the young owner, take care of all mundane things, and then give it to the young owner to be the master." The chief housekeeper Feng Yao said very truthfully, after all, his identity is just a slave, and the power is given by the owner, whoever is in charge of the house, he will serve whomever he wants, it is not complicated.
Luo Zhaoyun was very satisfied with his attitude, if the big butler dared to disobey and embarrass him on the spot, he planned to let Shi Danai take action and blast these people out, and never leave some unfaithful slaves by his side.
Of course, even if Feng Yao and other old servants expressed their stance like this, Luo Zhaoyun would be suspicious, not all of them, and it would depend on the performance of these people in the future, and at the same time, as he grew older, he would continue to recruit new servants and support a group of cronies who were absolutely loyal to him, which is a later story.
"You go down first, buy some good wine and food, treat the guards and sergeants who escort you, and clean all the rooms in the main courtyard by the way, we will stay in it tonight."
"That's it, Shaodong, I'll arrange it." Feng Yao took a few servants down to prepare meals and tidy up the room.
After these people left, in the living room of the main hall, there were only Mu He and Shi Danai left, both of whom were looking at Luo Zhaoyun curiously.
"Ah Lang, you have become more powerful, the big housekeeper just now was obedient to you. I was worried that they would not listen to us when we were young. Mu He's eyes were very bright, and when he spoke, he was full of energy, stuck out his tongue, and had a smile on his face.
"This is not Luofu, there is no need to cower, we are the masters here." Luo Zhaoyun is only ten years old on the outside, but he is calm and behaves appropriately, which makes people feel like a child at all.
Shi Danai's eyebrows twitched, his eyes flickered, after entering the house, he was observing Luo Zhaoyun, and found that this young man was not as unbearable as rumored in Luo Mansion at all, on the contrary, he was also extraordinarily outstanding, and then thought of the night before Luo Gong left, he repeatedly told him to protect this child and instruct the little boy to practice.
Luo Yi also made a promise for this reason, so that after Shi Danai was protected by Luo Zhaoyun's side for a few years, he would recommend him to enlist in the army as an envoy and give him the opportunity to make contributions.
At this moment, Shi Danai gradually figured out that the father and son seemed to have a secret that was not publicized, and he thought that Luo Gong was not to let Luo Zhaoyun grow up arrogantly in the wealthy compound and hide people's eyes, this kind of method of raising a son in the tiger gate is really rare!
