Du Huan is also familiar with Chang'an, riding horses around Chang'an City, relying on memory for half a day to find a few descendants of the master craftsman Yu Wenkai. Although these guys have already fallen into the middle of the family, no one agreed when they heard that Du Huan wanted to invite them to Anxi, even if Du Huan said that the treatment was extremely generous.

Du Huan didn't dare to say that if he went to Anxi, he would be treated with thousands of dollars a year, after all, there were not many ministers in Chang'an City who had so much income on the surface. Several Mrs. Guo received more than 1,000 yuan of fat powder money from the Son of Heaven every year, which had already been criticized by the Manchu ministers. Giving such treatment to a craftsman will definitely cause an uproar in Chang'an.

It is not allowed to talk about the treatment directly in Chang'an, this is what Ma Ling specially explained. Cursing these guys in his heart for being poor forever, Du Huan had no choice but to find the general as a prisoner and wanted to try his luck here. He didn't dare to stay in Chang'an City for longer, the matter of searching for craftsmen must be completed as soon as possible, and if he could poach a few undesirable craftsmen from the general prison, he could barely finish the errand assigned by his own general.

Lantian County is also a nobleman, and there is no problem with entering and exiting the cold yamen as a prisoner. A small official led Du Huan to see the general on duty as a young eunuch, and Du Huan was startled when he saw it. This general is a young eunuch with a kind face, and he is actually very similar to the monk Shu Zuo Servant and Li Linfu, the Duke of Jin, but he is a little younger.

Seeing Du Huan's strange expression, the young eunuch smiled and waved his hand to order the little official to go, and said with a smile: "I saw the county from afar at home yesterday, but I didn't expect to see the county again today, isn't it fate!" I am Li Xiu, the son of the Duke of Jin, and I will be a young eunuch. I don't know why the county came here? ”

Du Huan sighed, and his heart turned out to be the son of the Duke of Jin, no wonder he looked exactly the same as the meat waist knife.

"It turned out to be Li Xianggongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful. Young Eunuch, I have come here today to ask for help. Looking at this guy with the same smile on his face as Li Linfu, Du Huan thought about it and explained his intention straightforwardly.

Yesterday, Li Linfu had already made it clear that he wanted to win over Ma Lan, and he would be the son of Li Linfu as a young eunuch, so this favorable condition naturally did not need to be used in vain. Maybe this time I can really find a few suitable craftsmen to complete the errand assigned by the general.

Li Xiu listened to what Du Huan said, groaned slightly, already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Anxi is far away, and it is not easy to transport, and Fufeng Hou wants to make his own ordnance in Anxi, which is a good thing for the country." But this should not be done in private, but tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be known to those who have a heart, and it may be a sin in the future. ”

Du Huan nodded hurriedly, and said in his heart that if he wasn't in a hurry to leave Chang'an and return to Anxi, who would be willing to come to a place like the prison. Even if you are here to be a prisoner, you originally wanted to recruit a few low-level craftsmen, if it weren't for the fact that you happened to be Li Linfu's heir, you wouldn't have said the purpose directly.

"Because of this, I hope that the young eunuch can be thoughtful. If the Anxi border army can make its own ordnance, it can save more than 100,000 yuan for the country every year! That is, knowing that Li Xiang is dedicated to the country, I dare to say such things in front of the young eunuch. If it were another young eunuch on duty today, I would only dare to ask for one or two low-level craftsmen, where would I say this. ”

"Then I want to thank the county for trusting, hehe!"

Li Xiu smiled, stood up and said with emotion: "Fufeng Hou and the county are the heart of the country, and I also feel the same way. Speaking of which, I am a few years older than Fufenghou, and relying on my father to take on this position, it can be said that I have achieved nothing. Watching Fufeng Hou make contributions in the border county, I was so envious. Since there is a shortage of manpower in Fufenghou, I also intend to go to Anxi and make contributions with Fufenghou, I just hope that Fufenghou will not be disliked. ”

"What!"

Du Huan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Xiu and didn't know what to say. He had just come to ask for a few craftsmen, who would have thought that such a situation would occur.

The son of Li Linfu, the dignified Duke of Jin, is going to Ansina and other places?

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Huan spoke: "The border army is in difficulty, not as good as Chang'an. That kind of place is really not something that a noble person like the young eunuch can stay in. The young eunuch can help my general find a few suitable people, and we are grateful, how dare we bother the young eunuch to go there in person. ”

Li Xiu smiled: "Fufeng Hou's father and ancestor are also eunuchs, didn't he also go to the border county to make contributions!" I, Li Xiu, am also a seven-foot Angzang man, how can I go to Anxi! Since I was a child, I have not been able to write or do martial arts, but I have worked the way of equipment. Being able to sit in this position is not all due to the shadow of my father. Don't worry about the county, I will never be hindered when I go to Anxi, but I really want to do something. If you can't lead the army to fight, you can still be competent in charge of a general battalion in Anxi. ”

Du Huan grinned, when Ma Lan explained to him, he didn't expect this situation.

"That's it!" Li Xiu seemed to be in high spirits and said loudly, "What I am good at is making strong bows and crossbows, and when I get to Anxi, I can also help Fufeng Hou." When I go back today, I will show my father that he will ask the Son of Heaven for permission to do so tomorrow. If you want to set up another general as a prison in Anxi and make large weapons such as the Eight Ox Crossbow, you must get the permission of the Son of Heaven, and you can't do it unless your father. When the Son of Heaven approves this, I will take my family to Anxi with you, and I will definitely do a great career with Fufenghou! My father's grand wish, I will watch Fufeng Hou realize it one by one! ”

Seeing Li Xiu's high-spirited appearance, Du Huan didn't know what to say. Looking at the appearance of this guy, it seems that he is really a good craftsman who is good at making bows and crossbows, and such a talent is exactly what the Anxi Army needs now.

"Go back and wait for the letter! Tomorrow this matter will be taken care of. Li Xiu obviously didn't intend to win Du Huan's opinion at all, so he made a decision directly, "Tomorrow, when the will is settled, I will send a good craftsman and bring my family to return to Anxi with you." The generals in the capital are really not interesting, and I can show my means well when I get to Anxi. ”

Seeing that Li Xiu was so sure that he could have a holy decree come down, Du Huan had nothing to say, so he had to say: "In this case, I will wait for the good news of the adults." It's just that the general of my family wants to make his own ordnance in Anxi, and I hope that he will not mention it to the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Xiu smiled and nodded: "That's nature." My father would only tell the Son of Heaven that I wanted to go to the border army to make meritorious deeds, and I wanted to set up a place to make ordnance in Anxi, and I would just ask the Son of Heaven for permission. As for other things, he definitely won't say it, and he can't make Fufeng Hou embarrassed. ”

Du Huan is also a decisive person, knowing that there is no room for turning around in this matter, he also nodded.

Xindao was originally looking for two craftsmen, but it turned out that this guy was provoked to Anxi, and it was not good to stay in Chang'an to enjoy your happiness, and he was really full. The son of Li Linfu, the Duke of Jin, the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, if he really goes to Anxi, it will be more troublesome than Bian Lingcheng if he is hindered.

But what can be done about it? Whether it's a blessing or a curse can only be seen later.

Du Huan got up to say goodbye, and Li Xiu was not far away. Seeing Du Huan's figure disappear, the smile on Li Xiu's face slowly disappeared, and he sighed softly with his hands behind his back.

"Die on the inside, be at peace on the outside...... After worrying for so many years, I finally have to leave Chang'an! ”

……

After leaving the prison to be imprisoned, the family's heart became even more confused. Yang Youniang's stay in Fufeng Hou's Mansion is troublesome enough, and now there is more Li Xiu going to Anxi.

Ma Lan didn't come to Chang'an in person, and these things were not something he could deal with at all. Although he was born in a family, he had never experienced such a thing. Dealing with these things is already beyond his ability.

As soon as the horse entered the Yankang Fang, he saw a huge carriage parked under the weeping willows. The curtain of the carriage was lifted a little, and a pair of beautiful eyes were looking at him with a smile inside.

He couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but he knew who she was. Du Huan was confused for a while, he didn't know how he got into the woman's carriage and how long he stayed in the carriage, but when he got off the carriage, he had lost a trace of strength and his legs and feet were paralyzed.

Seeing the carriage slowly leaving, Du Huan stood there in despair, and after a long time, he walked towards the Fufeng Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning of the second day, there was chaos in the Fufeng Marquis' Mansion. Du Huan went out and saw the red and swollen forehead of the little girl of the Yang family, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

didn't dare to ask this little girl, Du Huan secretly asked a maid with a tender face near the little girl, knowing that this person went to the garden to practice swords in the morning, and was inexplicably slipped by moss and knocked like this. Fortunately, the little girl was agile, so she didn't break her appearance.

At this time, Du Huan still didn't understand that the general's second plan had been launched. Looking at the little girl's angry face, Du Huan knew that he couldn't stay here anymore. There is still a lot of fame to earn, if this little girl was still in Chang'an when she had an accident, then she would not be able to get rid of it.

It didn't take long for a large group of carriages to arrive outside the Fufeng Marquis's mansion. Several ladies of the Yang family arrived, and they were furious one by one.

Obviously, this little girl's status in the Yang family is extremely unusual, otherwise there would not be such a big battle. The one who scolded the most was Mrs. Han, who completely lost the gentle appearance of the ** in the carriage yesterday, and pointed at Du Huan's nose and scolded extremely loudly. Du Huan didn't know what to do when he saw this woman, and he was still in the clouds after Mrs. Han left.

In the end, it was the little girl of the Yang family who sent away a few Mrs. Guo, and the Fufeng Hou Mansion calmed down. Not long after, another team of carriages came to the outside of the mansion, but the person at the head was Li Xiu.

The people in the carriage were all craftsmen who would be the prisoners, and they all looked sad, and on the other carriages were Li Xiu's family members. Li Xiu seemed to be in high spirits, looked at Du Huan and said with a smile: "County, the will has been made." I was appointed by the Son of Heaven as the chief supervisor of the camp of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and immediately went to Anxi to take up my post to build ordnance for the Anxi army. I've already brought all my family with me, so why don't you leave here? ”
