readx;?/div>

The carts lined up in a long line, pulled by the bulls, along the wide official road. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the people who pull the cart wear hats, open arms, wear ox-nosed robes, and step on the dry loess with big feet, crackling. Beads of sweat rolled down the dust from the dark face, washing the dusty face yellow and gray.

"Everyone worked harder, and when they arrived at the post pavilion in front, everyone stopped to catch their breath and drink saliva." Li An, the head of the Nanyang Dongwu Pavilion, who was in his twenties, cheered loudly as he walked: "The sooner these medicines are sent to Shanyang, you can save the lives of a few more people, this is a good thing to accumulate virtue." ”

"I said Pavilion Chief Li, if you don't say it, we know it." The gray-haired old man Niu led the cow forward in stride, and laughed loudly: "Yanzhou and Jingzhou are all the people of our Han Dynasty, Yanzhou has suffered a disaster, and our Jingzhou people can't watch it." You Li Tingchang is a reader, and they all follow us to endure hardships, how can we be lazy. Don't worry, before dark today, it will not be a problem to walk another ten miles, and you will definitely be able to reach Shanyang. ”

"Master Niu, this time it's really thanks to you that you're old, otherwise how could I do so well as an ignorant descendant." Li An rushed to Niu Laohan's side, grabbed the leash and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile as he walked: "Master Niu, I have made meritorious service and been promoted this time, but I have to treat you to a drink." ”

"Good boy, that's what you worked hard for, thank you. You don't have much money, so you save up to buy some good food for the woman and your son. Your son is very annoying, but a little thin. ”

"Hahaha...... It's okay, it's okay, it's only when you're thinner that you're fine. Li An smiled heartily. but the heart is beautiful. He is a small pavilion chief, and he lives on a family of three. Compared with those friends who entered the workshop, his income is not high, and his wife has also said several times that he should not be annoying to do this thing, and the pavilion chief whose income is not high, and go to the engineering college for two years. If he becomes a technician in the workshop, he can earn 400 stone in two or three years. Isn't it stronger than this pavilion chief? Hussar generals are good at everything, but they control officials very strictly, and not only do they grasp corruption very tightly. Promotion is still very slow, so many people are now reluctant to become officials.

However, Ang Lee believed that this was only an expedient measure of overkill, and that sooner or later the hussar generals would adjust the salaries of the lower-level officials. He did this because he didn't want those big families to focus all their attention on officialdom, so that they could grasp the power of a place, and by no means to force all the officials to resign. (.) In order to encourage the people of Jingzhou and Yangzhou to transport grain and medicine into Yanzhou, the hussar general promised to give priority to a group of county-affiliated officials who had done a good job in the deployment of the work to adjust their work, and give them preferential treatment in the assessment. You can also reward a sum of money. He believed that this was the prelude to the hussar general's upcoming adjustment of the lower-level officials in Jingzhou.

Li Anjing was a hundred times more godly, leading the people under his rule to follow the brigade all the way forward. As long as they drive another ten miles, they can reach their destination, Shanyang County, after handing over these grains and medicines. Even if he had completed more than half of his task, he would only need to bring these people home safely, and he would be done. Waiting for him may be a promotion, or an increase, or at least a generous bonus.

"Hey. Are you from Nanyang? Several knights who were hurrying by on the zhongyāng gallop suddenly reined in their horses and shouted loudly. Li An hurriedly responded: "Exactly, we are from the Dongwu Pavilion in Nanyang Pheasant County, I am the pavilion chief Li An, and the general is ......."

"Hahaha, no wonder I listen to your voice so kindly." The knight at the head turned over and dismounted, strode over, and patted his chest with the whip in his hand: "My name is Wei Yan, and I am from Yiyang." ”

Li An looked enviously at the badge on Wei Yan's shoulder: "Your Excellency is really young and promising, you have become a lieutenant at such a young age." ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, this time I've been promoted more." Wei Yan waved his hand, "You guys are not bad either." I have heard that in this disaster relief, Nanyang performed the best, responded in the most timely, and the people's organization was also the best. Your Majesty and the Hussar General are very satisfied, and I guess I want to reward you. He looked at the elated villagers around him and shouted: "Township party, General Huang ordered me to come to greet you, and he has prepared drinks in front of him to entertain the township party." ”

Someone shouted loudly: "Which General Huang is General Huang Hansheng, who made the first contribution to Xiling City?" ”

"It's not him, which one else can it be." Wei Yan laughed and said: "We have been fighting abroad for half a year, and we have never had the opportunity to take turns off, but this time I can see the township party and hear the township sound, and I am happy." What are we fighting for? Isn't it just that I hope to see the township party members have a happy life? Township parties, is this year's harvest good? ”

"Okay, okay." Niu Laohan's voice was loud, and his beard was straightened with joy: "What kind of new policy of the hussar general, but we have taken advantage of it, now every family has land, and we can still go to work when the farm is slack, and this year's harvest is twice as good as last year." ”

"So good?" Wei Yan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Needless to say." Someone next to him shouted: "We croppers have strength, but only in the land, how can we be hungry?" ”

The crowd laughed. Wei Yan was also very happy, he and Li An walked side by side, chatting affectionately. After walking for two or three miles, he glanced at it, and suddenly saw a girl on the roadside tea stall who was raising her sleeves to wipe her sweat, and was taken aback, and quickly let go of Li An, ran over in two steps, and bowed down: "Master Weng, why are you here?" ”

Liu He looked at Wei Yan in surprise, his long eyelashes flashed, and he laughed: "It turned out to be Wei Duwei, why are you here?" As she spoke, she picked up a clay bowl filled with half a bowl of tea and walked to Niu Laohan's side, and said crisply: "Grandpa, take a sip of tea, see that you are sweating hot." ”

Old Man Niu looked at Liu He blankly, grinned toothlessly, took the tea bowl, drank it all, and hurried forward without stopping. When Wei Yan saw this, he hurriedly took the heavy copper kettle from the maid's hand, filled the empty bowl in Liu He's hand with tea, and followed Liu He to deliver the bowls of tea to those people who were older or looked thirsty and tired. As soon as those people saw Wei Yan in battle armor being so respectful to this little girl, they knew that this little girl's identity was not ordinary, so they respectfully took the bowl one by one, thanked and thanked them, and then drank it tremblingly, and walked forward in a hurry.

When Liu He saw it, he said angrily: "You still go, see you people with knives, these people sweat more than the water they drink." ”

Wei Yan said aggrievedly: "Master Weng, then you have wronged us." They are not afraid of us, but of you. ”

"It's the same thing anyway, you hurry up and do your business, it's more convenient for me to be here than you."

Wei Yan touched his head, smiled, returned the copper kettle to the maid, turned over his horse, and chased after Li An. As soon as Li An saw Wei Yan, he hurriedly asked, "Who was that little girl just now, I don't look like a child from an ordinary family." ”

"Of course." Wei Yan said proudly: "That's the eldest daughter and lord of the hussar general, and she will be the queen in the future." ”

Before Wei Yan's words fell, the old man Niu fell to the ground. Wei Yan was in a hurry, and dragged Niu Laohan up before he was pressed by the wheel, and laughed: "I said old man, you don't have to be so nervous? And the host was nice. ”

"I ...... What blessings did I accumulate, old man, I actually asked the future queen to pour me tea. The old man's beard trembled, and muddy tears came out of his eyes, and he couldn't cry silently. My Niu family is really smoking on the ancestral grave. ”

"What's the matter, many soldiers in our army were wounded, and they were all bandaged with the help of Lord Weng." Wei Yan disagreed, "Lord Weng is our best medicine, no matter how injured we are, as long as we arrive with Lord Weng, no one will say a word." ”

"Really?" Niu Laohan raised his head in surprise: "And the princess to treat your group of soldiers?" ”

"What do you mean by being a soldier?" Wei Yan was a little unhappy, and his face sank: "We are good men who protect our families and defend the country, and we are the guardians of the peaceful and prosperous world, how can we be called soldiers." ”

Niu Laohan was at a loss: "What hand?" What to go? ”

"Guardian of the Peaceful and Prosperous World!" Li An shouted loudly in the ear of Niu Laohan: "That is to say, they are the ones who protect us and let us live a good life." ”

"Really?" Niu Laohan said a little timidly: "You don't rob the people? Don't kill? ”

Wei Yan rolled his eyes in anger and beat his chest: "It's not that I don't kill people, but I only kill bad people, not ordinary people." Who dared to kill the good and risked the merit and caught the one who was going to be lit by the hussar general. ”

"Yes, yes, the hussar general has long said that they are all soldiers, how can the soldiers kill their own people." Li An hurriedly explained. He had read and often seen the official documents of the Mansion issued by the Assassin's Mansion and the Taishou Mansion, and he accepted these ideas earlier and faster than these ordinary people. He is also a villager of these ordinary people, and his words are more convincing than Wei Yan. After listening to his explanation, the fear hidden in the depths of Niu Laohan and the others gradually dissipated, and the gaze that looked at Wei Yan finally became affectionate.

"That ...... Is it really with the lord? Li An approached Wei Yan, who was still indignant, and asked quietly.

"Of course, I see her a lot, can I still admit my mistake?"

"No, no, no, what Wei Duwei said, of course I believe it." Li An muttered, "I just can't believe it. The dignified lord, the future queen, is it already commendable to appear in the epidemic area, and he will actually pour tea for us ordinary people on the side of the road, this hussar general is worthy of being born in the people, has suffered a lot, and is closer to our hearts. If he is in power, we will definitely have a good time. ”

"Then you need to say, just look at them." Wei Yan said proudly and disdainfully. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
