"Uncle Xu, Su Baihu came to the capital this time, but it was not an order from the soldiers, but a holy decree from the emperor." Chen Dao said to Xu Guangzu with a smile. The way he spoke to Xu Guangzu was both respectful and casual, and it sounded like he was chatting with the elders in the family.

Xu Guangzu looked at Su Hao and asked, "Why, even the emperor knows about this map drawing?" ”

Su Hao didn't know Xu Guangzu's attitude, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said: "This little nephew can't figure it out, it's all the way that Master Chen is in charge, and the little nephew just follows Master Chen around, and he was brought to the capital in a daze." ”

"Haha, you young man is also slippery when he speaks, no wonder the invented map is so clever." Xu Guangzu commented.

Chen Dao simply introduced the story to Xu Guangzu, and when it came to Su Hao's skillful technique to flood Yang Yinglong's five thousand elite soldiers, Xu Guangzu couldn't help but applaud, and looked at Su Hao's gaze with a little more appreciation. After Chen Dao finished speaking, Xu Guangzu nodded and said, "It's true that he is an unborn talent, but it would be a pity if he let that gelding be pulled over and used." A good man should serve on the battlefield, how can he mix with those guys who are neither men nor women all day long. ”

Su Hao smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xu, it's not that I want to deal with eunuchs, it's really a lot of things that I can't help myself. However, the little nephew met the eunuch Li Long, mainly because of the mining matter, which can barely be regarded as a serious matter. ”

"Well, I see." Xu Guangzu said, he turned his head to Chen Dao and said, "Xiao Chen, a talent like this has to be boldly grabbed." You go back and tell Wang Shangshu that he must snatch this young man to the military headquarters. Isn't he just greedy for glory and wealth, the Ministry of War gave him a thousand households, it's really not good, get a commander to be in charge, I think he can afford it with his merits. ”

Chen Dao was obviously a little immune to Xu Guangzu's bold words, and he agreed resignedly, while constantly making glances at Su Hao, meaning that Su Hao should not confess anything. Xu Guangzu said a few words, probably feeling happy, so he stood up and said, "Lao'er, I'll go and settle those soldiers, and you two will continue to talk." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the house, and after a while, his scolding came from the courtyard, probably reprimanding a certain soldier of the survey battalion who was not open-eyed. Chen Dao smiled at Su Hao and said, "This old man, his temper is like this, don't be surprised if you change it." However, he is an absolutely nice man, and you live here more comfortably than anywhere else. ”

Su Hao asked strangely: "Brother Chen, what is the origin of this old man, why do I think he is more bullish than the secretary of the military department." ”

Chen Daodao: "This old man was Xu Shangshu's personal soldier in the military department earlier, and he saved Xu Shangshu's life on the battlefield, so Xu Shangshu arranged him in the military department and served as an idle errand." The old man is enthusiastic and has rich experience on the battlefield, so there are many things in the military department that he has to ask him to go to the staff officer. After Wang Shangshu took office, he drank with him several times and had a very close relationship. After your contour map was brought to the capital, the first person to discover its value was Uncle Xu. ”

"Uh......" Su Hao was speechless, there are so many well-educated people in the military department, it is actually such a veteran who first discovered the value of the contour map, Su Hao really doesn't know what to say.

Chen Dao had been away from Beijing for more than half a year, and he finally came back, and he was anxious to go back to reunite with his family, so he simply explained a few words to Su Hao and left in a hurry. Su Hao sent Chen Dao away, returned to the courtyard, and looked at Xu Guangzu with a smile to teach the soldiers of the survey camp:

"Go wash me well, I don't know how many fleas and lice I got along the way!"

"All the weapons have been laid out for me, and they must be put in order. To be a soldier is to have the appearance of being a soldier, bear soldiers like you, when we were back then, they would have been knocked down with a military stick! ”

"Who, what's wrong with the hand? Why don't you take medicine if you are injured, do you want that hand? Come into my house, I've got the best medicine for my wounds! ”

“……”

Xu Guangzu scolded all the way, and from time to time he raised his leg and kicked someone's ass. The soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion were a little uncomfortable at first, but they quickly accepted the veteran's special enthusiasm and began to call him Uncle Xu one by one. The old man smiled happily, and at dinner, he took out the good wine that was said to have been treasured for many years and shared it with everyone.

"Su Baihu, let's come to the capital, what is the task?"

After dinner, Deng Kui came to Su Hao's room and asked him.

Su Hao shook his head and said, "How do I know, maybe it was the emperor's whim, he wanted to see us, take a look, and then send us back to Yunnan." ”

"Won't it?" Deng Kui glared and said, "Isn't this a pastime?" ”

Su Hao smiled: "People are the emperor, what's wrong with you?" ”

Deng Kui knew that Su Hao didn't understand the purpose of this trip, so he didn't ask anymore, but said: "Su Baihu, we have arrived in the capital now, and I don't know when the emperor will summon us." The subordinates pondered, it's not good for us to stay like this and do nothing, do we still have to train and train soldiers. ”

"That's right." Su Hao said, "This time we fought with Yang Yinglong's soldiers and horses in Banzhou, which still shows that our combat effectiveness is insufficient. You and Hao Tong are both good hands, but our soldiers are almost meaningless, four or five people can't take advantage of one of Pi Yuanfu's men, so it's not okay. ”

Deng Kui said: "My subordinates also think the same, so I plan to let everyone continue to practice martial arts from tomorrow." ”

"I agree." Su Hao said, "You are fully responsible for the training." ”

Deng Kui whispered: "Su Baihu, my subordinates want to invite that old man Xu to serve as the teacher of our team, do you think so?" ”

"Old man Xu?" Su Hao was a little puzzled, "How could you have such an idea." ”

Deng Kui said: "Actually, Hao Tong's kung fu and I are not excellent, and we can only say that we are a little better than ordinary people." We train our soldiers, and the soldiers we train are half a bucket of water. I observed Old Man Xu during the day today, and found that although he was old, he was agile, he should be a practitioner, and the kung fu he practiced was an authentic kung fu for killing the enemy. ”

"Is it better than your kung fu?" Su Hao asked. During the day, he just noticed that Xu Guangzu was in good health, and he was a little old and strong, but as for what kung fu he was talking about, he couldn't see it.

Deng Kui said: "I didn't pay attention at first, and later, I didn't know what I said wrongly, he wanted to kick my ass." You think, how can I be kicked so easily, and when he kicks me, I flash my body, and guess what? ”

"What?" Su Hao asked.

"I didn't get out of the way." Deng Kui said depressedly, "And Old Man Xu noticed that I was dodging, and the strength of his kick was a little stronger, and I was so hung that I didn't fall down." ”

"Is that so?" Su Hao was happy, he remembered that Chen Dao had told him that this Xu Guangzu had saved another soldier surnamed Xu on the battlefield before he was recruited to the military department to be an idle errand. In addition, it is said that he has so much experience in the battlefield that he has to be involved in many things in the military department, and even the new soldier Shangshu Wang Yiyu has drunk with him. Thinking about it carefully, if he didn't have some special skills, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so popular in the military department.

"Such an old man, is he willing to invite him to be a teacher?" Su Hao thought of another question.

"I have a way." Deng Kui smiled, don't look at his reckless nature, he is still a little cautious at a critical time, and Su Hao doesn't bother to ask him what his method is.

Early the next morning, I didn't know what ** soup Deng Kui poured into Xu Guangzu, but Old Man Xu really changed into a short fight and taught martial arts to the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion. Su Hao observed on the side, and found that Xu Guangzu really had some doorways, and the fighting techniques he taught the soldiers were very different from those taught by Hao Tong and Deng Kui before, they were all very simple moves, but they were infinitely powerful.

Of course, it was not easy for the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion to learn these skills, and at the end of the morning, everyone was kicked in the ass by the old man several times. As Deng Kui said, who Xu Guangzu wants to kick, no one can escape.

"Su Baihu from Jiangxi, do you live here?"

Su Hao was watching everyone train with relish, and suddenly heard someone outside the door asking. He walked to the door and saw a little eunuch standing outside the door, talking to the soldiers of the survey camp guarding the door.

"Su Baihu, this little lady ...... The little father-in-law said he was looking for you. Seeing Su Hao, the soldier hurriedly reported that he didn't pay too much attention when he spoke, and almost called the other party a little eunuch directly. In fact, the word eunuch is not a derogatory term, in the inner government, only the first leader of each prison can be called a eunuch, and the second in command can only be called a young eunuch, and the minions below are even more nameless.

"This is Su Baihu, the younger one is an errand under Gonggong Li, named Jiang Di, who was ordered by Gonggong Li to deliver a post to Su Baihu." The little eunuch said to Su Hao respectfully.

"Oh, my little father-in-law has worked hard." Su Hao took the name card handed over by the little eunuch, and casually rewarded the little eunuch with a few big money, but the little eunuch didn't think that the money was too small, and accepted it happily.

"My father-in-law Li set up a banquet in Defu Building at noon today, and invited Su Baihu to the banquet." The little eunuch said.

"Where is this Telford Building?" Su Hao asked, don't look at his previous life, he lived in Beijing for many years, and when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, his eyes were still black, who knows where this Defu Building is located.

The little eunuch gestured with his hand and told Su Hao the location of Defu Building, what to go north first, then east, two alleys and then south, etc., that is, Su Hao has been studying cartography for more than a year, and has developed a spatial imagination ability, otherwise he would have been dizzy.

"Trouble to tell Grandpa Li, Su Hao will arrive on time, thank Grandpa Li for his kindness in advance." Su Hao said.
