And at the other end of the land of Henan,

Pu Suwan galloped his horse in the grass and warblers flying everywhere, and swept the hot summer breeze head-on, making him feel like returning to Saibei, driving cattle and horses to chase water and grass and find the old days of Shanyin to escape the summer heat.

He seemed to be one step closer to his ultimate goal, as he was now released from regulation and served as one of the official combatants in this unique Southerner army.

Although there is a chance to escape now, it is completely different to flee back to the grassland with nothing and nothing and return to the grassland with a strong man and horse.

Therefore, today's war slaves Pu Suwan, strictly speaking, the leader of the naturalized battalion, Pu Suwan, with a small group of cavalry dressed in leather robes and felt hats, roamed the road, robbing and killing messengers coming and going to the rear.

Strictly speaking, except for the captives who accompanied the team supervision, most of them were still from Fanhu in the true sense of the word, and they were all good looks, and they were selected from the mines and quarries one after another before the captives.

In addition to taking care of the cattle and horses, they are regularly organized for daily training on horseback riding and shooting, and then arranged to participate in regular confrontation drills as one of the imaginary enemy units as a sparring partner.

In wartime, these vassals were also scattered and assigned to the various units in the front line as a supplement to the scout force.

Therefore, the most common task they received was to be sent out to attack the Huma of the domain army entrenched outside the jurisdiction, the lone patrol cavalry and the sentry squad, and then provoke the Huma tribes of different affiliations to fight and kill each other, and there was no time for anything else.

In fact, under the influence of the tradition of respecting the strong, the Huma tribes of the vassal army who attack each other are indispensable on the grassland, and after they change their camp and position, they deal with these same kind from the grassland, and they do not have the slightest softness or psychological pressure.

Obeying the strong and driving for it seems to be a matter of course, just like drinking water and eating, quickly accepting this reality and role.

And like Pu Suwan, because of the experience of accompanying the caravan and the ability to know a variety of languages spoken in various parts of the grassland, he naturally became the daily leader and leader of the raid team.

This also gave him the first batch of fixed subordinates, although the number was small, only a few dozen.

But what he hoped more was to be able to master the means and skills of fighting with firearms on horseback like the soldiers in the hunting camp, rather than continuing to follow the traditional way of galloping.

It's just that for now, it's clearly a luxury. As the foundation of this southern army and the guarantee of its combat effectiveness, it will definitely not be delivered casually.

They need to prove their determination and worth with more achievements, merits, and votes.

"You say, no one wants to go to Jiangning? ……”

I was a little surprised during the cruise.

"Exactly, there are many doubts in the army......

Mu Long, who was expressionless, replied in a deep voice

"As soon as I heard that I was going to Jiangning, I avoided it one after another......"

"It's a ministry favored by the prison state......

I shook my head and sighed, but there was a faint sense of luck.

"Why are they all so weak......"

"Do you want the other party to name ......it directly?"

"Let's do it first,"

Then I decided with some annoyance

"From my name, take a few treasured artifacts to Jiangning to do some activities,"

"Let the relevant people find out the tone, and inquire carefully about the specific thoughts and intentions of the prison country."

In fact, as part of the trophies that once entered the Imperial City, in addition to the gold and silver reserves in Jiacang City,

During the period of occupation of Yuanbi City, we also scraped three feet from the palace on the spot, and harvested a large number of treasures and utensils, as well as a large number of calligraphy, paintings and small antiques that were relatively light and easy to carry.

Except for a small number of abandoned roads to lure the enemy into counterattacking, most of them were taken to Qingzhou after traveling all the way to the territory of Qingzhou as a secret reserve for me and the army to gain a foothold in the future.

It's just that these things are valuable, but they can't be used directly as money, and they need to be sent to the rear by sea, and Guangfu, which has enough spending power, can be used for realization, and slowly get rid of them to achieve the maximum value without causing large fluctuations in the market.

And some of the more special treasures were given to me as some kind of thank you gifts, and to my Sister Chen, and the head of Southeast Lu Ning, Liu Yuanjun of the Privy Council, Lu Gong of Longque Garden, Yan Gongyimen, Jia Yejun's mother and daughter, and even Ouchi's husband Ning, who are close to and have help.

After all

The so-called allies and assistance are not maintained by temporary kindness and favor, or even charity and mercy, but by similar or equal forces and resources, as well as complementary and mutually beneficial positions.

The lion does not befriend the rabbit, but it has to tolerate the hyenas in the hunting area, which are often coveted and waiting for an opportunity to take their prey, under certain conditions, and sometimes have to retreat when threatened by a sufficient number

There is also a small part of it, which is used for Jiang Ning's dots, although the prison country itself is rich and may not be able to look at these things, but the people around him are not necessarily.

Sometimes it is better to have an extra routine message channel around the superior than to be at a loss when things come to an end. After all, I am already one of the high-ranking generals of the country, and I have to follow the conventions and traditions of the past dynasties.

However, the appetite should not be overfed at once, and it must be gradual and gradual to hang each other with benefits and benefits, and maintain a long-term mutually beneficial trading relationship.

This matter was handed over to the former head of the external relations of the Kodansha and the current head of the roadside club, Xie Zheng and Xie Mingxian, who were transferred from Guangfu to handle it.

As one of my sources in the official face of Guangfu, he has enough connections and connections, and it is more convenient to get close to those close servants around the prison state, who have more important positions but low status.

Canton, Shangcheng, Jiayejun's mansion,

After sending the guests who had just arrived, as the hostess of the room, she sighed a little, and looked at the gift in front of her:

The smoker of green jade, the jade tripod, the ivory fan, the gold and silver bone handle hand mirror, and the small pieces of a play are all extremely exquisite and interesting things to enjoy, just the inscription made inward in front of the upper face is enough to be worth a lot of money.

How much can be seen, which is attentive and sincere.

And with the excuse of her daily visits, the one who gave these gifts to the house was her old acquaintance, Cui Juanting from Luo's house.

Although this handkerchief is described as haggard and tired from hard work, you can feel the fulfillment of her daily busyness, as well as a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence that is difficult to hide.

Obviously, it belongs to the kind of woman who has the backbone and lifelong support, and it is possible to radiate the glory and charm of calm and confident.

And I don't know where my whereabouts are, I can only watch the years go by and cover the fine wrinkles that gradually appear at the corners of my eyes with makeup. Maybe this daughter will be guarded like this for the rest of his life.

She thought of it with some self-pity and self-pity, and could not help thinking of the joy of the night of confusion, but she summoned up the courage of the boss, and put down her skin to face the young man who was at least much younger than herself, and made great determination to break off this indecent relationship.

As soon as she thought of this, a warm, swollen, strange feeling slowly surged up from her long-standing body,

"Ah Niang ......"

At this time, a soft voice interrupted Jia Yejun's chaotic thoughts.

"Who has been here......

"How did you get out......"

Jia Yejun hurriedly stepped forward in surprise, hugged his daughter who was trembling a little when she walked, and said distressedly.

"Why don't you stay in your room and recuperate......"

"Did you run out by yourself......"

Ever since she heard that the dynasty had been defeated and that man had been trapped in the north and his life and death were unknown, her daughter suddenly fell ill with anxiety.

Only then did she realize that the things that she had been ignoring all along, and the imprint left by the sudden rescue after being robbed was too profound, and the unrequited love of the children was brewed from this, but it was not wishful thinking for her, so good at using time and distance, she said that she would cut it off.

Because of the changes in her childhood, this daughter is very timid and easily shy, and ordinary men can't get close to her at all, so it's easy to have a less fearful object.

She seemed to be very satisfied as long as she was close to the person, quietly looking at the person, and occasionally being able to say a word.

Therefore, Jia Yejun connived and encouraged her, and invited those girls in the Luo mansion to mingle, thinking that through some peer interactions, she could be cheerful and relieved, but in the end it became her cocoon.

Then there is the recurrence of continuous fever and chills, tears in the coma, I don't know how many doctors I have seen can only alleviate but not cure, and finally some people are not very sure that it may be a hidden heart disease left when they were young, so they can't withstand the excessive repetition of love.

This result made her clean and self-controlled, she had insisted so much over the years, she almost collapsed her mental support, and couldn't help but be resentful, angry and sad, and couldn't help but bury her head and cry, and wet her pillow for several nights.

Until new news came back, that person was safe and sound, and he was still a successful man. My daughter's condition has finally stabilized and improved, but it has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time, and the deficiency caused by it cannot be remedied, but it will not be relieved for a while.

Therefore, most of the time nowadays, I am still in bed according to the doctor's instructions.

"Is it news from the Luo family......

The emaciated girl looked at her mother almost blankly, and said in a weak tone.

It's really wronged, Jia Yejun couldn't help but sigh secretly, but looking at his daughter's haggard little face and expectant eyes, he couldn't help but feel like a mess, but he couldn't even say a word of denial or false response.

"It's his message......"

"Is he okay......"

The daughter's little face, which was as pale as snow, suddenly bloomed, as if there was still a trace of blood, and she was a little timid.

"Did you receive a message from A-Niang......

"Already under ......"

Jia Yejun sighed helplessly again, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only follow his daughter's wishes

"I also sent some gifts in return......

After a while, the girl who broke into tears and laughed quickly obediently drank the decoction that calmed her nerves and replenished her qi, stroked the few small objects that were obviously colored by her daughter's home, and fell asleep in bed.

And as the edge of the bed tent, Jia Yejun's mind has become more profound.
