Chapter 21: Grass and Trees Are Soldiers
The truth that Ye Xiaotian said, Hua Qingfeng didn't understand it before tasting it. The imperial court is dissatisfied with him, and the Tusi in Guizhou think he is in the way, if this matter is really used to expand his influence, coupled with his achievements in the past few years, even if Ye Xiaotian is willing to keep his promise and bear it with all his might, will those big people above agree? A black gauze hat of classic history can calm this matter?
Hua Qingfeng was at war with heaven and man in her heart, struggling for a long time, slowly raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "What do you have in mind?" ”
Ye Xiaotian saw that he was working hard for a moment, and even his eyes were a little red, obviously he had experienced a fierce psychological struggle, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Ye Xiaotian started from the end of Wei, he was lucky to gain fame, plus he also had the honorable position of Gu Sect Venerable who couldn't run away, and he didn't have the mood of Hua Qingfeng in the officialdom to suffer from gains and losses, so he naturally felt a little dissatisfied with Hua Qingfeng for struggling for so long to make such a decision.
Ye Xiaotian said: "If you want to deal with a dragon and this gang of thieves, as soon as there are many people, they will be far away from the mountains." There are few people, but it is difficult to deal with them, unless our skills are equal to theirs, or even superior. So, I would like to ask the seedlings who built the house for me to help me and fight on the ground, they may be a rabble, but when they enter the mountain, they are all tigers! ”
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Those seedlings? Well...... this county has long heard that in the deep mountains and old forests, their bravery is unmatched. But...... Will they be used by the court? ”
Ye Xiaotian spread his hands and said: "My lord, you have also seen that the lower officials only built a house, and the wages given are not very much, but so many people came at once, they are all poor and crazy, as long as they are willing to pay, what do they want them to do?" ”
Hua Qingfeng immediately collapsed when she heard this, and said, "Qian ......." What the county lacks most is money. The last time we invited these seedlings to dig rocks in the mountains, the bottom of the reservoir in our county was cleaned, and we also raised some donations from the gentry, where is the money to invite them into the mountains to suppress bandits? ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled: "It's not difficult. My lord, that dragon has been crisscrossing Guizhou all these years, focusing on the merchants on various roads, and must have plundered a lot of goods. As long as we promise them, once we break through the one-dragon cottage and let them use the goods, they will inevitably rush to be the first to fight. Even if there are dead and wounded, there is no need for county pensions. ”
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said: "If the bandits have made a gain, it is naturally a trophy, and it will be handed over to the imperial court, how can it be ......?"
Ye Xiaotian looked at him and didn't speak, Hua Qingfeng couldn't help but stop when she saw Ye Xiaotian's eyes, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "This method...... Do you make it? ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "What's wrong? The lower officials can go to Luo Patrol to discuss. If you really want them to fight a dragon, they can only deliver food to a dragon. Now that they are sending troops just for show, once they succeed, they can still enjoy the reward of the imperial court, will they agree?
And those seedlings. As long as they keep their promise to take the goods from the mountains, their role in this matter can be mentioned. Although those bandits plundered a lot, they also squandered a lot. Who can be sure if there is any money left? Let's break the cottage is a surprise attack, who is not interested. How much has been seized? The county lord, the one who has achieved great things, is not informal! ”
"Hmmm......"
Hua Zhixian paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he suddenly stopped, struck with his fist, and gritted his teeth: "Okay! That's it! ”
Hua Qingfeng straightened her waist, stood in front of Ye Xiaotian, and said in a deep voice: "Since there is no way to retreat, then we will make a desperate bet!" This county will write a warrant, you and Luo Patrol Good Student to discuss, right or wrong, in one move! ”
It's rare for Hua Qingfeng to be so refreshing, it turns out that the turtle has a violent temperament, Ye Xiaotian has a little affection for him, and he hugged his fists and responded: "The next official takes the order!" ”
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said goodbye and left. Hua Zhixian stood under the corridor and watched Ye Xiaotian go away, and suddenly felt a feeling of blood and blood.
He has always shrunk his head and tail when encountering problems, and this is the first time he has faced difficulties and made a heavy decision to advance and retreat! Although I used to have taboos and struggled in every way, but now once I have made up my mind, I feel that the blood flow in my whole body has accelerated, and I feel an indescribable excitement!
In the flower hall of the back house, Su Ya had already had dinner, and was sitting on the Luohan couch, cutting the baby's clothes with great interest.
"Ahh Xianggong is back! ”
Su Ya heard the footsteps, looked up, and saw Hua Qingfeng stepping in, looked at his face, and saw that he was full of red light, and his expression was very different from the malaise of the past, but he didn't seem to be annoyed, and his heart couldn't help but widen, so he said: "Xianggong will drink tea first, and the concubine will let people heat up the meal." ”
Su Ya said and put the scissors on the sandalwood table next to her, wanting to stand up. In order to make it easier to tailor, she moved the lamp to the kang table, the light was close at hand, reflecting her face, her lips were condensed, the texture was delicate, pink and white reflected red, like peach blossoms.
Especially when she is wearing an evening dress, a translucent cicada wing gauze back robe, convex breasts and a thin waist, shining under the lamp, bright and charming, the slightly loose nightgown reveals a deep cleavage, the jade peak is sandwiched, the mature taste is indescribably sultry, Hua Qingfeng can't help but feel hot in her belly.
Hua Qingfeng immediately approached, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hungry." ”
"You ...... Xianggong"
Su Ya saw that Hua Qingfeng's breathing was slightly short, her eyes were scorching, how could she not understand what he was thinking at the moment, she couldn't help but be shy, and whispered: "It's not completely dark yet, you ......, the concubine will go to give you Zhang Luo's food and drink......"
Su Ya was in a hurry, but was hugged by Hua Qingfeng and pushed down on the couch.
Hua Qingfeng didn't know what was wrong with him, probably because he suddenly made a heavy decision to stimulate his feelings. A person who has never been willing to take risks and has never been willing to take responsibility suddenly makes a decision that must be decided by him, and that kind of huge psychological stimulation makes his physiology also glow with a masculine style.
Yahuan Xiaocui came to the front of the flower hall, stepped into the door and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw the master and the housewife hugging each other on the Luohan couch, pushing the kang table aside, she couldn't help blushing, quickly withdrew, and quietly covered the door......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A team of 80 officers and men of the Inspection Division stood in a dense forest without sunlight, surrounded by huge towering trees, and the occasional strange bird call in the forest would cause them to look around in horror.
Luo Xiaoye and the two seedling guides stood in front and looked at their team, the soldiers were exhausted after a long journey, and their faces were full of traces of sweat, but although they were very tired, neither one sat down at will, nor did any one leave the team, that kind of strict military discipline made Luo Patrol very pleased.
But he also knew that the reason why his soldiers were so well-behaved was not because he was usually well-trained. As an armed force stationed in Huling forever, the military tasks they undertake are actually very few, the daily military training is the responsibility of these hereditary officers, and the soldiers under them are each half peasants and half soldiers, too strict military training, they may not be able to use it for the rest of their lives, this is an inappropriate behavior, and they will soon lose their loyalty, so Luo Xiaoye will not go against the trend.
But in this way, it is the strict decline of the army's combat effectiveness and the looseness of military discipline, they are incomparable with their ancestors, the army that was pulled from the Central Plains to the Guizhou Plateau, but today they are more disciplined than their ancestors.
The reason is simple, this place is full of inexplicable dangers, they did not have the guidance of the guide, they did not dare to make any move, not even to sit on the rocks, lean against the big tree to rest, let alone run to the stream to wash their faces.
During the march, there were people who did not listen to the instructions of the guide, and as a result, one of the soldiers found that a plant was very beautiful, and touched it, and was attached to the sting of the strange and inexplicable plant.
As a result, one of his arms and face was swollen like a boiled shrimp, red and red, and the pain was even more unbearable, and the guide picked an unnamed weed, kneaded it into grass and mud and applied it to his arms and face, and the pain was greatly reduced, but the whole side of his body was now covered with green grass mud, and only his eyes, nostrils, and mouth were exposed, and it looked like a weed.
There was also a soldier who had sore legs and feet, and sat on a rock for a while, only to be stung in the butt by a poisonous black ant, and now lying on a stretcher, his buttocks swollen to be rounder than the moon on the fifteenth of August, and a purple moon......
There was another fellow who was even more unlucky than the two of them, and he saw a great tree towering into the sky, adorned with purple and black fruits, and as soon as he approached it, he smelled the sweet smell of honey, and could not help but draw his knife and cut off a branch, and as soon as he went down, the white sap splashed from the place where the branch was cut and splashed into one of his eyes.
The seedling guide said that this tree was a very rare poison arrow wood, and its poison sealed the throat with blood, and although they treated it in time, it only saved the life of this guy, and his eye that was splashed directly by the venom was definitely blind, and it became a one-eyed dragon.
People often say that "all the grass and trees are soldiers", but that is just used to describe a person's frightened and suspicious mentality, and here, it is really all the grass and trees, they are sprained and exhausted, and it is nothing, just with this one, how to go against those mountain thieves?
Fortunately, ...... they were only responsible for swaggering into the cottage after capturing it, assuming an occupation posture, and there were other people who were really responsible for fighting the bandits.
Inspector Luo looked into the distance with relief, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything except the endless trees. Ye Xiaotian took those seedlings, as well as a giant ape and a pixiu, and was about fifty miles away from him, where was the lair of "a dragon"!
: It's the beginning of the month, ask everyone for a guaranteed monthly pass!.
