Chapter 137: The Truth Is Here

"If you don't have time all day long, where are you going?" Yuan Xu called Nian'er.

Nian'er held the basin and owed a debt: "The clothes that the son changed today have not been cleaned......"

"If you change it every day and wash it, won't you be tired to death. After a certain ten days and a half a month, it will be changed once every ten days. ”

"It's getting warmer, so it's hard not to sweat." Nian'er lowered her head: "It's been a long time to change, isn't the taste enough?" Don't hear it, don't say that the child's face is not good-looking, and the slave is also said to be a lazy slave. ”

"Let them fetch some water and wash it here." beckoned to the soldiers at the door of the barracks, and Yuan Xu said to Nian'er, "You accompany a certain person to talk." ”

The soldier turned back into the house, took a barrel, and ran to the stream outside the barracks.

Standing behind Yuan Xu with a basin, Nian'er's cheek almost touched her chest, very cramped and uneasy.

"It's not the first day with so-and-so, how can it still be like this." Yuan Xu said: "Put the basin down and sit aside." ”

"No!" Softly answered, she placed the basin on the ground and sat down beside her in fear.

"If the conquest is indecided, I shouldn't have brought you here." Looking at Nian'er, Yuan Xu said: "You should go back to Yecheng first that day and entrust you to your mother......"

"Where the son is, where the slave and maid are......" Yuan Xu said that he shouldn't take him to Taihang, Nian'er was suddenly in a hurry, and subconsciously blurted out a sentence.

As soon as the words were spoken, she suddenly realized that she had interrupted Yuan Xu and transgressed her duties as master and servant, so she quickly shut up and lowered her head.

Yuan Xu didn't care at all, and smiled slightly: "You are so restrained, how can you say it?" ”

Nian'er lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and didn't dare to speak.

Glancing at her little hand, Yuan Xu's brows frowned slightly inadvertently.

In terms of appearance, Nian Er's birth is really not bad.

The little mouth is always rosy, and the light shines on the lips, glowing with a thin shallow light.

Warm as jade, delicate and beautiful.

Whether it is a small nose or a face, it is delicate and full.

After working all year round, the skin is not very fair, slightly yellower than most of the beautiful complexions, but it is like a layer of ivory painted on the snow-white walls, which is more delicate and natural.

It's just those hands......

The back of the hand is red, the skin is very rough, the knuckles are slightly thick, and there is no beauty at all.

In the spring of March, the trees recover, the peach blossoms bloom, and the little hands are soaked in cold water to wash the clothes in the warm season.

Thinking that she still had to rub her thick clothes in the cold winter, Yuan Xu felt that it was not a taste.

The winter of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was different from the era in which he once lived.

There is no large-scale industrial production, there is no environmental pollution, and the sky is blue as if it has been washed by water.

In winter, it snows heavily, and even on sunny days, it is dry and cold

If only there was a washing machine or gloves......

The laundry mechanism is complex and cannot be built in a moment, gloves......

Yuan Xu's eyes lit up, and he thought of something.

Fish maw!

In his impression, he had read a document that a certain royal family in the West had used fish maw as a tool to hinder the succession of the family.

That kind of force can withstand it, and the toughness of the fish maw should not be bad.

Get some more splicing together, maybe it can be used.

While he was pondering how to make gloves, the soldier who was fetching water folded back.

Placing the bucket full of water in front of Nian'er, the soldier bowed to Yuan Xu.

He was about to retreat, Yuan Xu asked, "How often do you kill fish in the army?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, there is a mountain stream flowing outside the camp, and there is no shortage of fish. Fish are killed almost every day. ”

"What to do with the fish maw?"

"Mostly throw it away."

"Ask the guy for some fish maw, and pick the bigger the better. Also, find some plant ash for so-and-so. Yuan Xu commanded.

"No!" Although he didn't understand why he suddenly remembered to ask for fish maw, the soldier still complied.

Nian'er also got up at this time and saluted Yuan Xu, poured some water into the basin with the dirty clothes, and scrubbed it vigorously.

There were no acacia locusts near the barracks, so she could only rely on the strength of her petite body to try her best to clean her clothes.

The little girl has not been with Yuan Xu for a long time, as long as she is around, she will do her best to serve every day.

Of course, the clothes were cleaner than those of the rough guards, and the water for washing, and even getting up early to get dressed, and spreading the bedding for him in the evening, were all done.

With Nian'er here, Yuan Xu really suspected that in a few years he would even forget to get dressed......

The grain and grass were almost burned, and Jia Xu proposed that the person who set the fire was likely to have other plans, and Zhang Yan also thought so.

Just when he couldn't understand why the other party just set a fire and left, and didn't burn the grain and grass at all, a letter was delivered to him.

Unfolding the letter, Zhang Yan did not carry Jia Xu at first, and even had the idea of letting him take a look after reading it.

However, after only looking at two lines, his hands trembled slightly.

The letter came from Xu Du, and the recipient was Jia Xu.

After reading it in a hurry, Zhang Yan put the letter in his arms, and the officer who delivered the letter stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Nodding, Zhang Yanping retired from the officer and asked Jia Xu: "Jia Gong, dare to ask if Cao Gong's command is full of heroes?" ”

I don't know why he asked such a question, but Jia Xu felt that it must have something to do with the letter.

Without answering, he asked rhetorically, "Why did the general say this?" ”

"Without him!" Grinning, Zhang Yan said: "It's just that I feel that Cao Gong is a hero, and the heroes of the world should be salty." ”

Knowing that he didn't mean this, Jia Xu didn't want to ask too much.

To know the crux of the matter, he had to see the epistle.

However, Zhang Yan didn't mean to show him at all, and could only tolerate Xu Tu......

Zhang Yan smiled, but she was already gritting her teeth in her heart, and she hated to eat Jia Xu alive.

The content of the letter is clear, asking Jia Xu to prevent him from seizing the city and looking for an opportunity to take the military power in one fell swoop!

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yan suddenly became enlightened!

No wonder this fire was so strange that not even a single grain or grass was burned.

Since he is determined to seize his military power, he will definitely raise a large army in the future.

If the grain and grass are burned, they must be allocated or re-raised......

It's hard for Jia Xu to do this kind of thing, but he still pretends to be kind and reminds him of the strangeness of this fire......

I almost fell for him!

In retrospect, Yuan Jun left Mianmanshui and retreated all the way without a moment's pause.

If they had the heart to set fire to the food, why would they wait until they returned to the barracks?

Yuan Xu is not stupid, what will he do? Can he break the enemy in one fell swoop, but he doesn't do it?

The truth turned out to be here......

Zhang Yan had a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were taken away from Jia Xu's face.

The anger in his chest was raging, but he could only suppress it with all his might.

is fighting against Yuan Jun and offending Cao Cao again......

Wait until this crisis is resolved, and then talk to Jia Xu!

Seeing that his expression was strange, Jia Xu also understood that the reason must have originated from that letter.

But he couldn't see the content of the letter, and he didn't know how to justify it, so he could only act more cautiously in the future!

"The enemy burns my grain and grass, and this revenge will be avenged!" Zhang Yan shouted to the side: "Prepare the troops and horses and seize Pingshan!" ”
