The closer he got to the Louguan Platform, the more anxious Su Ren's mood became, and no matter how beautiful the scenery along the way was, he lost the meaning of appreciation, so he only sat in the carriage with Lu Yi and hugged each other quietly without speaking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The war horse pulling the car seemed to feel the intersection of the people in the car, and walked faster and faster, and it only took half a day to hit Yixian, which was less than fifty miles away from the car, and Su Ren really couldn't continue to stay in the car, so he opened the curtain and stuck his head out.

"Where?"

The driving bull hurriedly said: "The front is Yixian, and the next fifty miles is Xu!" ”

It was already starting to darken, and the heavy breathing of the horses could be heard. Looking at the thick fog that has appeared in the sky, it means that the farmer has finished his day's work and is cooking at home. In this era, there was no coal, let alone gas and natural gas, so you could only use firewood for cooking and heating, and it rained lightly in the afternoon, and the firewood was very damp, and the smoke was billowing up.

"Stop!"

The brute bull hurriedly took the reins of the horse, and the two horses that were driving were almost to the limit, when they were pulled by people, shaking their heads and snorting one by one.

"Don't go, find a family to borrow for a night, and tell people that we will give money!"

Huang Shisan immediately went to prepare, and the brute bull helped Su Ren get out of the carriage. Su Ren shook his body, almost all the day was spent in the car, sitting for too long, his back was stiff. Han Qing and Ash, Shi Bao, Laifu, and Mo Yu came from behind, and seeing that the guards had already begun to investigate around, they knew that Su Ren was going to rest here today.

Han Qing smiled: "It's okay to rest for one night, I'm afraid it's the second half of the night if we rush back so desperately, and it's not appropriate to disturb the family!" ”

Hawking suddenly proposed: "Why don't I go back and report the news now?" ”

Su Ren said: "Save it, the big night of the horse galloping, you don't want to kill Heifeng and want to live longer, say rest and rest, no one is allowed to run around, sleep well tonight, tomorrow we will go home in good spirits!" ”

The wealth of Guanzhong is not a rumor since ancient times, before the development of Jiangnan, Guanzhong and Shuzhong have always been the main grain producing areas, which has a lot to do with the imperial capital has always been located here, whether it is the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Great Qin, or the Han Dynasty, and even the Tang Empire, which was flourishing later, put the country in Guanzhong is to fancy the importance of the granary here.

Find a random family in the rural areas of Guanzhong, as long as the money given is enough, you will not be able to afford to provide for the lives of dozens of people. Su Yi's team was going to rest in the village, and they were generous. Not only did the whole village begin to mobilize, but even the villagers were alarmed. After learning that Su Rennai was a general of the imperial court and had just returned from a great achievement in the Western Regions, the lieutenant chief braved the night rain and stepped on the muddy road to visit him.

Yi County is not far from Xuan, and the atmosphere of Xuanjiao will naturally spread here, and now the entire Guanzhong Road, especially the nearby counties near Xuan, are following suit, and it is very common to walk into that village with a few pigs and a group of chickens and ducks. These things don't eat much, and they are not picky eaters, whether they are wild grasses or wild vegetables, they can be fed, and chickens and ducks can lay eggs, and pork has also become a delicacy in the mouths of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Chang'an City.

The age of the village elder is very large, and the age of the lieutenant is just right, and he is a little embarrassed to say that Su Ren is a general, but you can't drive people out, you can do it to the dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City, but not for these ordinary people. Although they have no status, they have a mouth, and they spread ten to hundred, no matter how much Su Ren doesn't want his reputation, it is uncomfortable to be pointed at.

entertained the two local officials at the grassroots level, and Su Ren politely sent the two away. Su Ren felt very tired of dealing with these people, and it was not so difficult to use knives with those sneaky guys, not to mention that these people were very inattentive to making a living, and when he was eating with the chief, Su Ren could see lice crawling back and forth in the long hair, but he couldn't say a word.

Lu Yi looked at Su Ren retching with a smile, and stood beside Su Ren with a bowl of tea: "If you don't like it, don't come forward, you can always find excuses!" ”

Su Ren vomited for a long time and sighed: "Do you think these people came by themselves?" It's not a few of them who got it, they want to help me make a name for ourselves, we have to cooperate, and it will be chilling to refuse the kindness of others. ”

"Haven't you always valued that?"

"It's different!" Su Ren wiped his mouth, took the tea bowl in Lu Yi's hand and rinsed his mouth: "At this time and that time, I could only be regarded as a favorite minister by the emperor's side, and they followed me just to eat a mouthful, but now my credit is getting bigger and bigger, and my status is naturally getting higher and higher, and they can no longer be satisfied with being full and clothed." ”

"And what more do they want? How many days have you eaten? ”

Su Ren smiled: "People are like this, have you ever heard of Long Wangshu?" ”

This idiom comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, which tells the story of the Three Kingdoms period, and Lu Yi naturally didn't know, and shook his head slightly. Su Ren said: "There was a general before this story, after he attacked Longyou, he felt that he was already very powerful, so he wanted to take Shu in one go, who would have thought that in the end he was defeated by the people of Shu, and it was a fiasco, and he went back in disgrace." ”

"Oh, you're saying they want to be officials?"

Su Ren laughed a few times: "Speaking of which, these people follow me everywhere, and the credit is not small, just take Hawking, he has followed me since he was eleven or twelve years old, walking Yelang, Yuanshan, Qiangdi, and went with the army to Lingnan and Saiwai, this time he died in the Western Regions for nine lifetimes, he will go wherever I go, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of death, I may have thought it was fun before, but now I have my own home, I heard that Cuihua helped him give birth to a son last year, so naturally there are more ideas." ”

"Then why don't you keep him coming out?"

Su Ren shook his head: "Too young!" All these years have been under my wing, I have never experienced any big storms, I thought that this time I came back like His Majesty recommended it, let a few of them go out to experience the experience, starting with the youngest county captain, or find an errand in the southern army or the northern army, but I didn't expect people to seem to have a bigger goal. ”

"What do they want to do? Still want to climb on top of you? ”

"They don't dare, I've heard that Hawking's kid has secretly got in touch with Gongsun He, and Gongsun He promised Hawking to be a captain!"

Lu Yi grew up in the market since he was a child, and naturally knew a lot of things, but he still didn't understand everything Su Ren said, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "It's better to be here than you here in Gongsun He?" Speaking of which, your official is older than Gongsun He, although you don't have the title of Duwei here, sometimes you look more majestic than you, why is this kid so willing to follow Gongsun He? ”

Su Ren lay down and took a sip of water: "You don't understand this, didn't you see Li Danghu when you were in Jincheng, and there was no Li Dang by your side?" ”

"What? There is also a reason why Li Dang didn't go to the Western Regions with Li Danghu? ”

"Of course! First, it is estimated that General Li wants this third son to also make achievements and develop the Li family, and second, I guess that Li Dare thinks that there is no future for following Li Danghu to the Western Regions, and stays in Chang'an to wait for the Han-Hun battle, whether it is Wei Qing or Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, or I am stronger than his brother there, because we will give him more opportunities, and we will not always let him hide behind like his brother. ”

"Isn't that good?"

"Excellent! It's great! It is indeed safe to hide behind, but there are few opportunities for meritorious service, and there is less time to get out naturally, our Han is now the time to use soldiers, it is difficult to make achievements without military merits, General Li is still struggling at such an old age, why? Not for a marquis's hat yet? No one takes the title as lightly as I do! ”

Lu Yi smiled and said, "You are indifferent to fame and fortune, right?" I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"What? Do you think I'm a hero? What did you do earlier? It's too late to say those now, but fortunately, you and I are not husband and wife, and you can remarry, don't worry, I will never stop you! ”

"You're ......!"

"Ah......h A scream alarmed everyone in the camp. Hawking hurriedly rushed out of the tent with his sword, heard the sound coming from Su Ren's tent, raised his feet and was about to run over, but was pulled by Shi Bao, and signaled with his eyes that Huang Shisan and Manniu, who were standing at the entrance of Su Ren's tent, did not move, so that he should not worry. After waiting for a while, there was no movement anymore before Hawking was pulled into the tent by Shi Bao.

Hawking put the sword back away, returned to the table, took a sip of wine and asked Shi Bao, "Is your idea okay?" What if Big Brother won't let me? Besides, even if you go to Gongsun He, it's not the same as fighting, isn't it very good here in the eldest brother? ”

Huo Quzhi hugged his arms and shook his head: "It's different, it's definitely different, we will always be children here in Mr., he won't be greedy for our military exploits, but he can't recommend us cheekily, even if we have great achievements in the future, we can still only be under Mr.'s account, not uncle's person, only Mr.'s person." ”

"What's the difference?"

"It's a big difference!" Shi Bao said: "Your Majesty's people are the people of the imperial court, and Mr.'s people will always be Mr.'s people, I have contacted Li Kang, and when the time comes, the four of us will go together!" As long as we make a contribution, Gongsun He has promised to recommend me and others, and His Majesty will never treat us badly at that time! ”

Hawking was still a little hesitant: "Will the big brother be unhappy like this?" ”

Shi Bao sighed: "There should be a little bit of displeasure, but I think Mr. should agree with us to do this, we must not be able to follow him for a lifetime, the rest of the road needs to be walked by ourselves, Mr. is a smart person can understand!" Besides, Mr. will always be our Sir, even if we will not be able to put up a shelf in front of Mr. in the future, if there is no Mr. You are still crying in warm water, I am still messing around in Yuanshan, as for you! ”

After glancing at Huo Quai, Shi Bao smiled and continued: "You are different, you are Your Majesty's own nephew, and sooner or later you will come out." ”

Huo Quzhi rolled his eyes: "I'm also the eldest disciple of Mr.!" Earlier than Liu Ju left, you will all respect Mr., am I a villain who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors? ”

Hawking sighed: "That's it! I'll talk to my eldest brother when I have a chance, but I'll say something ugly about the front, if my eldest brother doesn't agree, I'll never leave! ”
