Chapter 8 Homestead

The fourth volume is not the same as the house in the eighth chapter of the first day

"My lord, my lord, what the hell are you going to pack? How many Goshkha are drawn to follow the adults? Are we going by land or by water? ”

On the fourth day of October in the 18th year of Guangxu, after Xu Yifan convened his subordinates to discuss the matter, he immediately sent a general order from the Chinese army, immediately packed his bags, and prepared to return to China.

Pu Yangpo had long expected that Xu Yifan might make a move. Who is Pu Yang? Back then, he was also a well-known gangster in the Yanjing clan. The flag man has no other skills, smelling the smell of it, and inquiring about the government is a must. Recently, the Praetorian Guards have been in the limelight so vigorously and have done so many bold things, Pu Yang wants to know what the imperial court's attitude towards the Praetorian Guards is. The imperial court has been vigilant against the so-called strong vassals for the past 200 years. The transcendent position of the Praetorian Guard cannot last even if you think about it. It's strange that the court didn't move.

And it's strange that his boss doesn't want to deal with it.

Pu Yang didn't even realize that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was a copper-headed and iron-brained guy. For Xu Yifan, as well as the group he created, the sense of belonging and belief he has become natural. Xu Yifan's wrist method seems to be innate, plus as a helpless clan, there is only one dilapidated clan that feeds the sister of Prince Gong's mansion. For the first time, there was a group to rely on, a group of brothers sweating together in the training ground, working hard in the north and south of Korea, eating dog meat, drinking rice wine, and swearing together. Pu Yang has long regarded himself as a natural member of the group. Xu Yifan, the leader of the group, gave an order, and Pu Yang might rush down.

As soon as the matter of Beiyang dealing with the Praetorian Guards came out, Pu Yang was anxious for Xu Yifan, and the guards served more carefully, and carefully persuaded Xu Yifan to go back to the inner house several times to dissipate and dissipate. Xu Yifan is basically still the same quiet attitude. After the duty, Pu Yang sighed for Xu Yifan. Our handsome man is not a person who sits idly by! How can you always look ahead and backward this time!

He tried to do it for Xu Yifan, at this time, according to his understanding, he hurried back to Yanjing and went to the door! Uncle Qian opens the way, and he can always find a way. He also secretly thought that if the adult didn't make up his own pockets, he would still have a little face in the money houses opened by Lao Xi'er in the capital, and he would always be able to make some friendships, and there would be no problem with the Laura debt! As long as this group can survive! Without this group, where else could he go, and where could he feel that he was not a waste snack that everyone looked down on!

Today, there was a thunder on the ground, and the clouds and mist were cleared to see the blue sky, and the adults finally spoke, packed their bags, and returned to China as soon as possible! Pu Yang wanted to keep a straight face and keep his calm and professional as the captain of the guard - in the case of a German foreign devil, the officer must be professional. But no matter how much I can't hold back the joy in my heart, my face is smiling like a rotten persimmon. hurriedly followed Xu Yifan's side. In his opinion, as long as the adults go out, there must be no hurdles that cannot be passed!

Xu Yifan was still preoccupied at this time, and all kinds of thoughts were mixed up in his mind. But he still held on to his face, and he still had a faint and disapproving expression. As soon as he had spoken, he went down to his inner house. But when he heard Pu Yang seem to ask something, he hummed and turned his face. I saw Pu Yang looking at himself respectfully and enthusiastically, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, and excitement that seemed to pop out of his heart.

What is he happy about this kid? Xu Yifan was slightly unhappy, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you ask you to prepare your suits?" Why are you still following me? When is my order going to be given twice? ”

Pu Yang respectfully called a thousand, and replied in a loud voice: "If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates are asking your lord, should we take the land route or the water route?" The waterway has to take the Beiyang boat, and those bastards, take their boat, and mark that they have a way to deal with the Beiyang. Let's go out of Goshha! Which Beiyang bastard dares to say a light word, and the markers throw them into the sea! If you go by road...... My lord, my subordinates take the liberty of damning, go back by land, it's too long, it's too late to rush back to Yanjing! ”

"What are you doing back to Yanjing?" Xu Yifan subconsciously asked rhetorically. Pu Yang was stunned, and the sweat in his head came out: "My lord! If we don't go back to Yanjing, how can we deal with those bastards in Beiyang? Li Hongzhang's old boy, our lords in the capital don't look at him authentically! The adults want to open the door, mark the shell and don't want to go out, and the sprinkling and rolling will also pull a few princes to help the adults speak...... My lord, this is a hurdle for our Praetorian Guard, and I hope that my lord will lead us to cross it! ”

Xu Yifan calmed down, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Pu Yang quietly.

It turned out to be a skinny, gangster, ruffian young man in the capital, wearing torn clothes and a yellow belt. After years of training, he has become a wide shoulder, a thick back, and an armed belt that tightens his waist, and has a strong atmosphere. The original little white face had been tanned purple and black, and there was molting everywhere. The military uniform on his body is neat but has been washed white, and there are a few traces of repair, after all, it is a man's craft, and the stitches are messy.

The most important thing is that he already has an air that belongs exclusively to a soldier. Xu Yifan had no doubt that as long as he gave an order, Pu Yang would never hesitate.

However, he is a flag man......

Pu Yang looked a little hairy to Xu Yifan, but saying so many words in front of Xu Yifan just now already belonged to overstepping the subordinate system. He only stood there straight, stiffly waiting for Xu Yifan to speak.

"Pick thirty good equestrian Goshkha and be ready to follow me. Prepare sixty healthy horses, no carts, prepare dry food and jerky, and bean cake and horse feed, let's go by land......"

Pu Yang was stunned for a moment, but there was no doubt. Now that you have been ordered, you have to carry it out! He snapped and saluted: "Order!" Mark this and get ready, and adults can go at any time! Mark within an hour and get everything ready! ”

He turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Yifan grabbed him and said with a smile: "Pu Yang, you won't follow me this time." You stay ......"

"Your Excellency!" Pu Yang's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyebrows almost flew into the brim of his hat: "My lord, the mark is your captain Goshha, that is, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and the mark must follow the adult." I, Pu Yang, am not the gangster in the capital, when I went to Seoul, I spent hundreds of miles in five days, and I called out a bitter cry under the mark? My lord, why don't you bring it with you? ”

Xu Yifan smiled calmly, but his tone was unquestionable: "Pu Yang, I'm leaving, Beiyang is likely to advance step by step, and my entire minister will be left to you to sit in charge, and I will make a move that I will stay in Xingyuan, after all, you are my closest captain Goshha!" I will put this important task of stabilizing the hearts of the whole army on your shoulders, and if you don't have this burden, even if you say it, I will not force it. ”

Pu Yang choked there, picking at his armed belt and couldn't speak. His face was flushed, and he was just sweating. Xu Yifan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go and inform the inner house first, and I'll go back immediately." I have high hopes for you, and you know what you have to do. ”

Pu bowed with a straight face, and turned stiffly to leave. Xu Yifan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You are a banner man and a tiger, and you can be regarded as having experienced, you will be going to go down the army in the future, in the future, the left association will be Chen Jinping, and the right association will be Zhang Xuzhou, which one do you want to go to?" ”

"It's all at your command!"

The answer to Xu Yifan was a hard answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this time, Xu Yifan, the inner house of the minister of military training, followed Pu Yang's words, and there was also a burst of chickens and dogs.

There is no other reason, the master is coming back!

Since the riots in Seoul and Xu Yifan rushed to Seoul to quell the turmoil, I don't know how many days, Xu Yifan has never returned to the inner house. Chen Luoshi and Du Juan are looking forward to the stars and the moon every day, waiting for him to come back one day. A few personal maids waited at the second gate every day, but none of them were able to bring back good news. broke into the barracks to find him, but the two little girls didn't have the courage to do so. Li Xuan has played such a big name, they are not as unscrupulous as Xu Yifan.

The two girls are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and one used to be the daughter of a horse thief, and they were both wild. Now I can't stand it when I'm confined in the house and look at the four directions. The two sometimes chatted, and they were both looking at each other with tears in their eyes.

They are not very literate, unlike Miss Li Xuan, who also lives in the inner house and is not embarrassed or embarrassed. You can read calligraphy, paintings, Western paintings, and fiddle with all kinds of new things. It's really boring, you can also take your subordinates to the Datong River to have a picnic and ride a boat! They think they are married, and they are the wives of the officials who have crossed their heads and opened their faces, but they can't just give people a look and point at them.

Since you can't go out, it's doubly boring. Du Juan has more things to worry about than Chen Luoshi, and her father has not landed yet! Compared with Chen Luoshi, Du Juan cried a few more noses.

Just came back from Seoul, although Xu Yifan was busy training troops, busy receiving foreigners, and running various schools. But occasionally, I would say a few words to the inner house, report safety, and say that the lord has a good appetite or something. Recently, even these goshkhas have not come.

Today, it was surprising, it was still daylight, and Captain Pu Yang ran to the door of the inner house to spread the word, and the master would go back to the house immediately! Then he walked away with a black face. When a news came, the cuckoo Chen Luoshi hurriedly changed his clothes and coiled his hair, and instructed the maids and women to quickly clean up everywhere and make a mess everywhere. Although the relationship between the two girls is good, after all, it is two rooms, and the subordinates in the two rooms are also holding their fighting spirits. It's rare for the lord to come back once, but I want to see which lady's room the lord is staying in today!

Du Juan and Chen Luoshi had already washed their little faces white, and their bodies were fragrant, and they sat in the hall, waiting for Xu Yifan to come back. The two of them occasionally glanced at each other, and their faces were red. To be honest, sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls really don't have any need for surnames, and they generally bear it passively. But if the old man stays in his room tonight, he can be coquettish to Xu Yifan after so many days. Especially Du Juan, she is ready to cry again for her father, even if she accompanies Xu Yifan to do embarrassing things and postures, she must remind Xu Yifan not to forget her father in the Northeast!

The two usually talk about everything, but now they are each muttering. Liang Luoshi looked at the cuckoo, and then at her chest, a little inferior, and said to himself: "But my waist is thinner than her!" The old man said, I am so tall, such a thin waist, from the back, it is no longer good-looking......"

Du Juan also looked at Liang Luoshi's waist and quietly turned his head: "So tall, what's so good?" It's so fine, aren't you afraid of folding? The lord also said that I am perfect What kind of S type, how can the lord toss me in one night, you can't think of it! ”

The two little girls were thinking about it with a sneaky face, and they heard a series of joyful announcements outside: "The master is back, the master is back!" I heard the sound of footsteps, and a group of subordinates greeted Xu Yifan like a phoenix.

The eyes of the two girls were hot, and they both felt wronged, so they subconsciously stood up to meet them. Xu Yifan looks emaciated and looks a little older, and the gentle eyes that were easy-going and smiling in front of them have also faded a lot, and they are really a little shiny.

The two of them were about to make a perfect Wanfu squatting salute and greet him in the most snorting tone. I saw that Xu Yifan just frowned, turned around and scolded: "So many people are following, look at the excitement, they are all scattered!" Within thirty paces of the hall, expel you! In the future, you must have a military order to govern the family! ”

The maids and the old wives immediately dispersed, and they all knew that Xu Yifan had not come back well today. Xu Yifan turned his head to look at Du Juan and Chen Luoshi again, and said in a low voice: "What does it smell like?" All the body fragrance is gone, do I smell the perfume, or do I smell you? The makeup on the face is also messy! In North Korea, it is hard work and training, and it is not happiness! ”

He was really in a bad mood, and all kinds of things were tightly entangled. When I went home, I looked at the chaos. The subordinates of the two rooms came to greet him, and their eyes were on fire, eager to snatch him back to the room immediately for their master. I added a layer of unhappiness to my heart, and now I will start to stage the grievances of the wealthy family! Put it in the future, and then fight for the wind and be jealous, this will not be able to pass.

When I entered the house, I was even more unhappy when I looked at the appearance of Cuckoo Chen Luoshi. The two of them were wearing the traditional coats of the wife of the order officer, and they also hung the morning beads, like a picture, and all their figures were covered. The makeup techniques of this era were originally a bit like that, and both of their faces were frighteningly white, and with blush and lipstick, it was extremely unnatural. The smell on my body is also weird, and I don't know what to rub. Yingying, a girl of sixteen or seventeen, was originally the most natural and moving time, Xu Yifan wished that they were all black hair with clear soup and noodles, and then wore a sailor suit, and called him a teacher or uncle when he saw him......

The anger was a little uncontrollable, Xu Yifan pointed to Du Juan and Chen Luoshi: "In the future, the two of you will live together without separate rooms." I'll make you a big bed! I've burned all these zombie clothes! In the future, I will ask the tailor to do whatever you want, and you will wear it!" Now go and get my hair down and wash my face! Come back and talk again! ”

The two girls had watery eyes and left obediently. Xu Yifan sat on the Taishi chair in the hall and pressed his forehead with a wry smile. It's been a long time since this era, and my temper has changed. Putting it on the front, soaking in this kind of stunning beautiful girl, or both, should be held in their hands and let them be coquettish. Now he reprimanded himself so badly, did he wronged them too much after gradually embarking on the road of reversing and seizing?

In any case, I have a lot of worries and bad emotions, so I shouldn't lose my temper with two little girls who are dedicated to me...... No matter what the era, it should not be ......

He pressed his forehead and was stunned for a while, then he heard the door curtain ring, and Du Juan and Chen Luoshi walked out of the inner room, and their small mouths were raised high. But his hair was down, his face was clean, and he didn't wear the zombie clothes. They are all dressed in moon-white jackets, with smooth black hair draped down, and the youthful and simple little face naturally exudes the luster of this girl's best years.

Beauty is like jade, beauty is like jade......

looked at the two little girls leaning on his side left and right, aggrieved and didn't dare to speak. Xu Yifan's mood suddenly softened. They belong to themselves in this era, and there will be more things that belong to them. The white body has crossed over to this point, and he has already sat on a stunning throne and dominated a country. What is there to regret and retreat from this path?

He moved slightly, his hands slightly folded. Du Juan and Chen Luoshi had already sat down obediently, leaning at his feet, like two kittens. Xu Yifan touched their long smooth hair and said with a wry smile: "I shouldn't lose my temper with you...... In the future, don't be too wronged by yourself, go around wherever you want, go around wherever you want, practice martial arts and even have another fight, I will follow you, don't restrain yourself, I hate this. What is your surname, let it be, you are always my most painful pair......"

Listening to Xu Yifan's soft words, the great grievances of the two girls also disappeared. Just rubbing on his legs, he couldn't say anything.

Chen Luoshi asked tentatively, "Can I pick up my father?" Can you walk around like Miss Li, and you can also ride a horse? ”

Xu Yifan laughed: "It's up to you!" It's like you haven't married me yet, when you were on the grassland, you were quite spicy! ”

mentioned that the two met on the grassland, Chen Luoshi was like he was about to melt, relying on Xu Yifan but not speaking. The cuckoo was a little red-eyed, and asked in a low voice, "My father ......"

Xu Yifan sat up straight, and Chen Luoshi, who was most close to him, was frightened, and his eyes widened. Xu Yifan looked at the cuckoo with a faint expression: "Prepare to clean up and follow me." Let's go to the Northeast, go to your father, and within ten days, be sure to go back and forth. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You...... You...... Are you serious? Didn't lie to me? Are you really going to bring my daddy back? ”

Du Juan slowly stood up and looked at Xu Yifan in disbelief.

After she followed Xu Yifan, her father's identity became the biggest shadow in this girl's heart. She is very clear about the difference between officers and soldiers and thieves. Xu Yifan's official became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more people under orders. Seeing how many characters are running around the Han River, a chaos has come down, and Xu Yifan has killed a country in a sea of blood. The cuckoo couldn't get rid of her thoughts.

First of all, Xu Yifan's official has done this, will he accept an old man who is a horse thief? She has always been burdened with such a father, how will she deal with herself in the future compared to other girls who are innocent from her family? After her father's letter, Xu Yifan said that he wanted to place this horse unicorn. But there has been no movement, and he is busy not going back to the inner house. The cuckoo was careful and inevitably went up and down.

Xu Yifan shouldn't dislike them, right? That's why you didn't come back? I thought about it in a blink of an eye, and comforted myself that I wouldn't. How could a person with such a ability as the master not even be able to accommodate their small family? Besides, she is also trying her best to please Xu Yifan. She grew up in a group of horse thieves, and before she met Xu Yifan, she didn't know that there were so many shameful things between men and women. Xu Yifan smiled wickedly and asked her to cooperate with something, no matter how ashamed she was, she couldn't bear it. Xu Yifan always holds her proud mutton fat white jade-like body, and she can't put it down.

Every time, although he is dressed and fed, he is always thinking about it. I don't know how long I've been waiting, but I'm a little desperate. At this time, I heard the words that I thought about for a while, and said it from Xu Yifan's mouth!

Cuckoo Yingying stood up and wanted to speak, but tears flowed first. I choked for a moment and couldn't say anything. Chen Luoshi stood there, wanting to be jealous, but he really wouldn't. just smiled softly and hugged Xu Yifan tightly. Whether it was Cuckoo or herself, the only reliance at this time was this young man who could smile gently at them.

The cuckoo looked at Xu Yifan blankly for a while, and that kind of gentle and grateful gaze made Xu Yifan feel a little weak. He didn't plan to take Du Qilin back for a relaxing time...... Tang Shaoyi and Chu Wanli only had two words to evaluate his plans, which was risky.

But at this time, he can't help but go sideways! The Manchu officialdom system had an inherent habitual surname and an inherent way of doing things. If he comes according to the card, he can only wait for death. Yuan Shikai said it well.

When it comes to the end, you can only be bold! From the impossible, find a way! At no time could he give up the power in his hands!

The idle chess played in the past, the cold son of the cloth, also came in handy at this time.

The cuckoo sniffed and wiped his tears. The spirit of the pony thief is back: "I'm going to pack my things!" Xu Yifan wanted to get up when he smiled, but found that his trouser legs were being pulled. When he looked down, he saw Chen Luoshi looking at him pitifully. I almost waged my tail at him.

"This time I went to the Northeast and froze people's noses......"

Shake your head and don't do it.

"A big family, someone has to guard it, right? Let's go, you're the biggest, you have to take care of the house......"

Turn your head and ignore it.

"Still disobedient? Is this time to have fun? Monkey business! ”

The long eyelashes blink and blink, and the tears tend to flood even more.

Xu Yifan's heart softened, he really wronged them a few days ago. This time I went to the Northeast, not to the enemy country. The biggest horse thief leader in the Northeast is his father-in-law, waiting for him to appease and receive, no matter how you look at it, there is no danger. The real danger and tension is after coming back, and then there is a series of people and things to deal with on their own. Next, there is Jiawu......

Luo Shi is also good, at least better than himself, and he can ride a horse. Let's take them out of the way...... In the middle of the military book, this is also a rare and rare tender moment...... In Xu Yifan's mind, a picture has already emerged. In the snowy northeast, there is an old forest in the deep mountains. His own Gosh Ha had white eyebrows, and he was on guard outside with a knife and a gun. And he was in a cowhide tent, and two little beauties were slick and squeezed into a warm tent with him......

He finally sighed, swallowed his saliva, and said loudly, "Okay, according to you!" Let's go to the Northeast together this time! Don't make any more noise next time! ”

Before Liang Luoshi jumped up happily, he saw the door curtain lifted, and a fancy face smiling in. It was Li Xuan. After her heartfelt laughter, it was really full of light. Xu Yifan was stunned, and forgot to think about how she listened to the corner.

"I'm going too!"

Miss Li strongly declared her position and walked in. She wore a Western-style women's cloak and riding boots on her feet. This kind of dress is more suitable for Xu Yifan's aesthetic vision. Coupled with her stunning appearance, it is really eye-catching. Even the pair of North Korean twin girls behind her who forced her to lie to her. also wears a Chinese-style jacket, which has an exotic style. It's just avoiding Xu Yifan's eyes.

Depend on! Is it really when Lao Tzu has nothing to do and goes to the Northeast to relax? Outside the inner house, it has long been boiling and the sky is boiling. The greatest danger is looming!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a hill not far from Xu Yifan's Datong riverside base, several horsemen were looking at the scene in the distance.

On the banks of the Datong River, the army barracks built by the dry bases are lined up one by one, neatly and uniformly. Just looking at these barracks, one can feel a kind of murderous aura peculiar to the army. Around the barracks, there was a jumble of buildings, and the chimneys of the small factories were billowing black smoke. Ant-sized figures run on both sides of the Datong River. The wharves built along the river have covered the river surface a lot, and small steamers and wooden boats shuttle back and forth on the river, and occasionally a whistle comes from afar, which echoes in the valley several times, and becomes a low whimper.

"Three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains are now being sown by these Qing people!"

"That's right, whether it's the Beiyang faction of the Qing Kingdom or the Praetorian Guard, it's all a raccoon dog! They are all city fox society rats entrenched in our land! ”

"What can I do? The country is weak, and the Qing people grovel to the Western white ghosts, but they can still do whatever they want to us! This is a double shame! It's a pity that we're still fighting among ourselves. There are also civilized party members who lead the Japanese slaves to stir up trouble...... A bloody storm resulted in a great loss of vitality among our Koreans, and the Manchu Dynasty was either killed or expelled. The minister of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yifan, who claimed to have quelled the chaos and killed so many of our countrymen, but under the heavy bribe of Park Yongxiao who emptied the treasury, he also let him steal a high position! As soon as Beiyang came, Park Yonghyo stammered again...... We are lonely ministers and sons, but we have no way to serve the country! It is even more hateful that our loyal and brave General Nanda, who sacrificed his life for the king, not only has nowhere to avenge his hatred. Even his beloved daughters have become the playthings of the Qing ministers! Shame on us North Korean boys......"

"To save General Nan's daughter! We also want to train our troops, and we will base it on our North Korean Huama team. As long as our strength is enough, one day, we will be able to sweep these Japanese slaves and thieves out of the country, and refresh my three thousand miles of rivers and mountains! ”

(To be continued)
