There were so many people at once, so naturally they couldn't live at home, so Shen Mo rented a yard on the outskirts of the county, where they could not only stay but also train. He also borrowed a hundred households from Yu Dayou to come over as an instructor and help Tiezhu train the thirty personal soldiers together.

For his own safety, Shen Mo has made a lot of money, on the one hand, he let the iron pillar play with his life, on the other hand, the supply of chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice and noodles is open, plus the money to buy armor and weapons, the silver is really flowing out.

With only his share income from selling salt, it was far from making ends meet, and the reason why he dared to open up was because he had just made a fortune...... When it was said that the reward ceremony, the 1,000 guests did not come empty-handed, but all had congratulatory gifts. On such a big occasion, everyone doesn't want to fall into the cold, as little as three or five taels, as many as dozens of taels, and even rich people, who are thousands of taels at a time...... In the end, after deducting the cost of the banquet, there were still more than 25,000 taels left, which made him feel a lot more confident at once.

While training others, he did not forget to strengthen his training, in addition to learning from the Tang prefect, he learned to ride a horse, and his marksmanship was much more accurate than before, and when it came to the fragrance of Jin Gui, he felt that he had to set off - because he had to be sent to Yanjing before the report year.

He went to talk to Tang Shunzhi first, and the Tang Governor had already known that he was leaving, so he was not surprised, and he also found him a bodyguard...... He Xinyin, known as the first sword in North China. According to Tang Shunzhi, when this He Daxia followed him to fight against the Japanese on the front line in Ningbo, he once fought more than ten Japanese soldiers alone, and retreated after killing several people, and wandered around all the year round, and he was very experienced in the rivers and lakes, and he was really the best bodyguard candidate when he went out.

Please He Daxia, who was wearing a hat and carrying a sword, went home first and waited, and he went to Fuxue to ask the professor in charge for leave, and asked to be absent from the next few months of exams, in fact, it didn't matter if he didn't say hello, because no one wanted to offend him, a hot upstart. But the more times like this, the more cautious Shen Mo became, he did not want to give someone a handle and cause unnecessary trouble.

The head of the court didn't ask him what he was going to do, so he happily agreed, but told him not to forget to study, the next year will be the year of Dabi.

Coming out of the professor of the academy, he walked silently in the empty square of the school, at this moment the students were working hard in the classroom, this square that could accommodate three thousand people for the exam, but it was quiet at the moment, only a few small birds were jumping on the ground.

When he was about to walk out, someone called him in front, and when he looked up silently, he saw that it was Tao Yuchen, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and said with a smile: "Why did you come to study so late?" ”

Tao Yuchen smiled: "I'm here to ask for leave." ”

"You're going to take a leave of absence too?" Shen Mo asked softly.

"I want to go back to Yuelu Academy, and then follow the master to work hard, and strive not to lose to my senior brother in the township test next year." Tao Yuchen said with a smile: "Listening to the senior brother using the word 'also', do you also want to ask for leave?" ”

Shen Mo touched his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm not as good as you, I have an errand to do." ”

Tao Yuchen chuckled: "Then I will be more sure." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "What errand, can you say it?" ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and I can't say that I will still press you when the time comes." ”

Tao Yuchen didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Qingshan doesn't change." ”

"Green water always flows." Shen Mo also smiled and said, "Let's see you in the scientific test." ”

"Goodbye to the exam."

After coming out of the house, he felt that he should go home, saying that in the recent period, he followed Tang Shunzhi to study his six heavenly books, and he followed the guards to exercise in his free time, and he had not been home for a month...... Shen He was also busy working in the government all day long, and the two of them didn't see each other often.

When he returned home, his father seemed to have a clever plan, and he had already arranged a table of wine and food waiting for him.

The two of them sat down and drank for a while, and Shen He said: "Stinky boy, obviously you are going to go around the province, why do you lie to me to go to the provincial capital?" ”

Silently took a chopstick to smoke the fish, and said with a smile: "You already know?" ”

"Nonsense, if I hadn't seen the words 'The Inspector has been ordered to inspect the various prefectures and prepare for the Japanese' in the morning, I would have been kept in the dark by you!" Shen He snorted.

Shen Mo scratched his head and smiled: "Didn't I want you to worry." ”

"If you don't want me to worry, you should stay home." Shen He huffed and said, "Don't go anywhere." ”

"Actually, it's not that dangerous," Shen Mo smiled and comforted: "You see that Zhang Butang and Li Zhongcheng haven't been running around all day, and they haven't seen anything wrong...... After all, the Japanese are just robbing along the coast, not occupying the mountains as kings, and there is no danger for children to run around in the interior. ”

Although Shen He was a little naïve, he was not stupid, he knew that his son was deliberately saying it lightly, but the king's fate was like the sky, and he couldn't help it no matter how unwilling he was. After being silent for a while, he finally said slowly: "When you come back, you can always book a family affair...... he said and couldn't help but smile and said: "My son is in demand." "This time, he was almost annoyed to death by the matchmaker like a green bean fly, and the woman's uncle came directly to the door, and he had a posture of not leaving.

After thinking about it silently, he nodded lightly and said, "Yes." "At the beginning of the Yiheyuan pawnshop, Miss Yin gave him a fruit basket, with some seasonal fruits on the top and some green persimmons on the bottom. Silent who is silent, he naturally understands that those sour and astringent green persimmons mean that they are 'out of season'. The persimmons ripen in late autumn, and Miss Yin also served them at that time, and the meaning could not be clearer.

Shen Mo asked himself to go, how could it take two or three months, and when he came back, he just spread the matter out, so he said 'yes'. Shen He didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that Shen Mo had promised him a blind date, and the father and son's bifurcation led to a paragraph of right and wrong, but that was a later story, so I didn't mention it for the time being.

Shen Mo staggered the topic and said, "Don't talk about me, you should do that matter quickly." ”

"What else to do?" Shen He snorted, drank a cup of old rice wine and said, "People have already returned the dowry." ”

Shen Mo was surprised: "When is it?" Why? ”

"According to the rules of our Shaoxing, your mother has been ordained, and your father can't marry a stepfamily, how can someone who is a big girl with a yellow flower be a concubine for me?" Shen He shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

The corners of Shen Mo's mouth twitched and said, "Then when are you looking for a concubine?" ”

Shen He scolded with a smile and said: "Stinky boy, don't worry about your father's business, take care of your ......errand with peace of mind" said with red circles in his eyes and said: "But you must be careful." ”

Shen Mo lowered his head and said softly: "I will, you have to take care of yourself......"

Early the next morning, in the courtyard of the silent garrison.

Tiezhu woke up on time at the moment of light in the sky, he got up and moved his muscles, went to the yard to fetch water and took a shower, dried his body with a towel, put on the brand-new underwear that had just been beaten with pulp, and then put on the same brand new short-sleeved placket armor, and put on the shiny high-top cowhide military boots, which were all issued yesterday, so that the iron pillar who had always wanted to have a military uniform was extremely excited, he found tung oil to wipe the leather boots to a good one, and spent two taels of silver to buy a good cowhide belt...... Because he felt that the original cloth belt was too imposing.

His fingers slid over the corners of the purple-colored belt, and solemnly snapped the brass belt buckle, and the cowhide belt was tightly wrapped around his waist, and he inserted the bright saber into the scabbard and hung it on the side of the belt, and then put on the wrist buckle and hung the black cloak.

When I walked to the mouth of the well and looked down, I saw a mighty officer smirking at himself on the flat mirror-like water.

He couldn't help but touch his head, hehe, Zhile...... The person in the water also touched his head, hehe, Zhile.

was having fun, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves at the gate of the courtyard, Lord Shen, who was dressed in a blue robe, appeared in the courtyard accompanied by the little scholar Shen An.

He quickly suppressed his smile, picked up his hat, smoothed the red tassel on the spire, put it on his head, and hurried to meet it.

Seeing the majestic captain of the pro-soldiers, Shen Mo was also very proud, and laughed: "Tiezhu, don't you call them to get up and start eating?" ”

The sharp whistle of 'Didi ......' sounded in the next moment, and the north head slipped into the bungalow and became chaotic, and the soldiers got up one by one, washing their faces, dressing and dressing, and none of them slackened...... Because if you haven't gathered in the courtyard for more than a quarter of an hour, you can only watch others eat breakfast.

A month's training was not in vain, at least not a single one was late, and when everyone arrived, the hearty breakfast that had been prepared long ago was brought up.

Breakfast consisted of stir-fried pork with white rice and soybeans, and four eggs per person. Everyone knows that the next meal will have to gnaw dry food in the wilderness, and without the instructions of the iron pillar, they will let go of their belly and eat. After a full meal, each of them brought five pounds of golden flatbread and a few pickles, which was all their rations before they reached the next destination.

Half an hour later, thirty soldiers, dressed in brand-new armor and leading their horses, lined up in the courtyard of the field, waiting for the inspection of the inspectors.

Silent face tensed, his gaze swept in front of everyone, and finally said in a deep voice: "Please! ”

"Defend Lord Die!" Under the agency of the iron pillar, the pro-soldiers shouted in unison.

"Let's go!" With a silent wave of his hand, he turned the horse's head.
