Wang Jun patrolled the border this time, and naturally went to Yuguan at the junction of Yingzhou in the northeast to guard and arrest. At present, not only the governor of Yingzhou, Xu Qintang, had to shrink all his troops and horses because of the defeat of the army. Previously, as the governor of Yingzhou and the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, Zhang Jingzhong, who had not had time to leave due to illness, also gave up his return to Beijing and temporarily stayed in Yuguan to guard and arrest, helping Xu Qintang to take care of the soldiers and horses. As soon as the two sides met, Wang Jun did not have a good face for Xu Qintang, who lost the battle and lost Yingzhou, and Xu Qintang naturally did not dare to face Wang Jun, so he took advantage of his illness to hide after a while.

As soon as he left, Wang Junfang showed a disdainful face, but he retreated from the others, leaving only Zhang Jingzhong to inquire about the situation in Yingzhou.

And since Du Shiyi had nothing to do, she dispersed the five or six guards who accompanied her this time and talked with Chibi in the room. Staying in such a place far away from the emperor on such a snowy day, and a few glasses of wine to warm the stomach, Chibi's words will increase. Although he was only born as a slave of the Cui family, Cui Gezhi worked these henchmen, at least he knew more about the few feudal ministers in the local area than the young Du Shiyi. When Du Shiyi asked about Wang Jun and Zhang Jingzhong, he laughed.

Wang Dashuai has been guarding Shuofang for many years, although he is called a famous general, but compared to the famous Korean Gong in front of him, he is still a lot worse than the Korean Gong Zhang Renyuan, who is the most admired in that year, is to attack instead of defending, governing Shuofang for many years, building three surrendered cities, so that the Turks dare not cross the mountains and herd horses, Shuofang has enjoyed many years of peace, and then added the same Zhongshu Men under the three products, which is a model of entering the phase. This prime minister and civil and military man, at the beginning of the dynasty, he first recommended Li Jing, the prince of Weiguo, and then Li Ji, Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, Lou Shide and other famous ministers, and in previous years, it was Guo Yuanzhen, Tang Xiujing, and Zhang Renyuan.

In contrast, today's Zhang Xiangguo is not yet able to be called both literate and military. And Zhang Zhijun or Wang Dashuai, they are also hoping to be able to enter the prime minister, and repay their wishes in their lives Pinglu This Zhang Dashuai was pulled up by the Korean prince back then, and now Wang Dashuai is guarding Youzhou, and Xu Qintang, the governor of Yingzhou, is determined to lose his official position this time, Zhang Dashuai may not be able to return to Beijing, and he will immediately take on the big responsibility. Naturally, they have to make a good friendship, and if there is a war, they can be horns for each other......"

Du Shiyi knew that he came out this time to broaden his knowledge and experience, and these old things were also one of the things that he had to know, and at this moment he was listening to the gathering of jīng to meet his mind, and suddenly heard some movements of water chestnuts behind him, and his heart sank. Although Chibi didn't say anything taboo, Wang Junguan was in a high position, and it was not a good thing for people to make such a judgment behind his back. Thinking that he had ordered Tian Mo to guard outside, he frowned and glanced at Chibi, who was drinking and chatting, and glanced back quietly, and then heard Tian Mo's voice.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see my family? Why are you still hesitating at the door...... Hey, you're not eavesdropping, are you? ”

Hearing this voice, Du Shiyi was almost stunned by Tian Mo's babbling. The next moment, he saw Hou Xiyi, who was a little hesitant, enter the door, but he bowed his head and saluted deeply: "Before, Du Langjun ordered someone to intercede for me, and a certain person came to thank him, when he was in Xipingmen, Youzhou, he was reckless for a while......

"At that time, you were faithful, and there was nothing reckless. As for pleading, you are in a hurry to obey the power, you are reluctant to ride a horse now, not to mention if your hip and leg are injured. You'd better recuperate with peace of mind, go back to your room and rest early at this moment, and say no more kind words. ”

Hou Xiyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted again. It's just that this body bent down and got up, he only felt that the flesh wound on his back was hot and painful, and he couldn't help but clench his teeth when he went out. And when he left, Chibi raised his head and glanced at Tian Mo, who hurriedly closed the door, but said thoughtfully: "Du Langjun, whether it is Wang Dashuai, or Zhang Yuanjun, I am afraid that they are all thinking about entering the phase." Therefore, Wang Dashuai and Zhang Yuanjun are enemies rather than friends, and although Hou Xiyi is a pawn, he is Zhang Zhijun's simple person after all. Lang Jun was good before, but Wang Dashuai may not see it that way. ”

Du Shiyi really didn't expect so much, and when he was reminded by Chibi, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and then sincerely thanked him: "If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid that Queen Wang Dashuai would be guilty, and I don't know what is going on." ”

"Lang Jun, this is too out-of-the-box." Chibi hurriedly owed, and hesitated for a moment before sighing ashamedly, "I didn't expect it when I was ordered to go at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have caused trouble." ”

Hou Xiyi is a pawn, naturally it is impossible to live alone, but it is easy to be caught in Yuguan in this weather, it is still early at this moment, and the other sergeants have gathered together to drink and chat for fun, and he has just been subjected to military law in Pingzhou, so he is naturally lonely. After leaving Du Shiyi's house, he walked all the way to the room assigned to him, he unconsciously felt that his feet were unusually heavy, and his head was a little dizzy, but if he walked by the wall, it would be too dazzling, and he could only drag his legs, which were gradually disobedient, to break forward step by step. Just when he stumbled and was about to fall, a pair of hands suddenly reached out next to him.

"Be careful"

Turning his head to look, he vaguely recognized that it seemed to be the young servant who interceded for himself that day, Hou Xiyi was stunned for a moment, and then thanked him in a low voice. When he wanted to break free and walk by himself, he heard the young man next to him whisper: "You were just injured, and you went all the way from Pingzhou to this Yuguan to guard and arrest, or I will help you go back." ”

"That'...... Thank you very much, little brother. ”

Hou Xiyi's house was at the outermost end of the guard's mansion, and when Du Anzhi helped him into the room, he searched for a while in the dark before lighting the oil lamp. He carefully maintained the flame within a minimum but illuminated range, and when he turned around, he saw that the person had fallen on the bed in a groggy state, and couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to help someone pull up the quilt, but inadvertently touched Hou Xiyi's hot forehead, he was suddenly startled, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and took off the jacket on his body for him. found that the underwear clinging to his back was oozing Yin Yin's blood, he didn't know what was going on, so he quickly pushed the person, and shouted again: "Hey, don't go to sleep, where is the medicine?" Your wounds are worn out. ”

Du Anzhi, who didn't wait for an answer, saw that Hou Xiyi's face was flushed, and he only hesitated for a moment and rummaged around the room. It was easy to find the wound medicine, and he carefully removed the underwear that was almost stuck to Hou Xiyi's back. When he saw the bloody wound, he couldn't help but look away, and the scene of himself being beaten in his mind instantly came to mind. Finally calmed down, he first covered the person with a quilt, and then went to the people who guarded the official residence outside to fetch hot water, carefully cleaned the wound and dirty blood with a soft towel, and then carefully applied the wound medicine.

He was sweating profusely, and Hou Xiyi, who was lying on the bed, groaned, and finally woke up from his daze. Realizing what had just happened, he immediately supported himself and wanted to get up, but he only struggled for a moment before he collapsed again, and could only say, "This little brother, I really bother you...... I'll do it myself. ”

"How can you reach this wound on your back?" Du Anzhi stubbornly shook his head, thought about it and said in a low voice, "If your colleagues refuse to help you apply medicine, come to me, besides, you already have a fever, I'll go to Brother Nineteen and talk to the military doctor to show you......"

"Don't" Hou Xiyi burst out with a little strength, grabbed Du Anzhi's hand, and then gasped and said, "In the army, it is common to be subjected to military law, where is it so delicate?" This little brother, please go and bring me that burden over there. ”

Seeing Hou Xiyi's resolute face, Du Anzhi hesitated for a moment before nodding, and waited until he took the burden to Hou Xiyi, seeing that he struggled to find a herb from it, and chewed it in his mouth, and then spit it in his hand and handed it to him, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Put it on my back for me. This is more effective than the wound medicine in the army, and it is commonly used by me in Pingzhou before, and it can relieve fever. Seeing that Du Anzhi didn't seem to believe it, Hou Xiyi grinned and squeezed out a smile, "In the past, when I was in Pingzhou, when I violated military law and was beaten with a military stick, my injuries were more serious than this, and this is how I came." ”

Since Hou Xiyi said so, Du Anzhi could only do it. When he was done, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief. And after inheriting such a great favor, Hou Xiyi saw that Du Anzhi was leaving and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, I don't know the name and surname of the little brother?" ”

"Jingzhao Du Ling, Du Anzhi." Du Anzhi said his name seriously, didn't notice the surprise on Hou Xiyi's face, and added, "I came out of the nineteenth brother this time." You take good care of your injuries, and I'll come back to see you. ”

Seeing Du Anzhi go out and close the door, Hou Xiyi, whose eyes were wide, bit his tongue hard, and then screamed. He thought that this shy young man must be Du Shiyi's servant, but just after hearing this, could it be that this is not a servant, but Du Shiyi's brother? As a disciple of the Jingzhao Du clan, he can be so unscrupulous, and he has done so many things for him as a pawn, and he owes a lot of affection

And Du Anzhi tiptoed out of the hut and walked inside, but was blocked in the middle of the road. Although he has been following Du Shiyi closely these days, and he has almost no chance to speak to his father Du Fu, but now that he has met, he hurriedly took a step back and saluted deeply, and called his father in his mouth.

"Where have you been?"

Faced with Du Fu's cold questioning, Du Anzhi had no choice but to answer truthfully: "I saw that Hou Xiyi's injury was not good, so I went to help out......"

"You dignified Jingzhao Du clan disciple, how can you do such a lowly thing?" Du Fu was furious for a while, and reprimanded him with a slap in his face, "What does it matter to you whether he lives or dies, and you need to take care of it personally?" It's your nineteen brothers who made you back, isn't it? ”

"No, it's not Brother Nineteen, it's me who saw a moment of compassion......"

"Compassion, what qualifications do you have to sympathize with others" Du Fu sneered, and then said coldly, "Wang Dashuai will not wait to see this Gao Linu, you will stay away from him in the future, don't do what your nineteenth brother says, although he has jumped over the dragon gate, his experience is still shallow, where do you know what is good or bad." You can follow him and learn more scriptures and historical articles, and if he supports you again, let him come to me."

Seeing Du Fu leave without looking back, Du Anzhi was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Du Shiyi's admonitions and teachings with Yan Yuesè, and then thinking about his father's past and now, all of them were so fierce, as if he didn't understand anything, he suddenly lowered his head in confusion, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
