Chapter 3: No Clothes (No. 1)

What Zhao Ziming was worried about, Wang Junkuo couldn't guess. But Wang Junkuo has already determined that Li Xu is not the master who can make his dreams come true. "The general's heart is not black enough, and he is not decisive enough. It won't be on him, and if I want to reach his heights, I'll have to find another way......" He looked around as he made plans for his future. Regarding the folk song that the surname Li can replace the surname Yang to become the lord of the country, Wang Junkuo is convinced. Like most heroes in troubled times, he had no ambition to become an emperor, but he also refused to be an obscure passerby.

If Li Xu is not what the folk song refers to, Wang Junkuo can only choose to leave. He didn't care what his former companions would think, he firmly believed that if he succeeded one day, all his companions would regret not making the same choice as him.

"The big husband has clear grievances!" He shook his head, throwing his chaotic thoughts out of the clouds, "I'm going to do something big for him before I leave." Even if you don't remember the grace of taking in that day, you have to look at the face of your wife's mother's house! ”

The lady in Wang Junkuo's heart naturally refers to Ying'er. Like many generals of the Boling Army, he admired this legendary woman who had traveled thousands of miles to find a husband. Although so far, Li Xu has not made it clear that Ying'er will become his main wife. But everyone privately thought that it was just a sloppy eye of the general and the imperial court, otherwise in the past year, so many big surnames in half of Hebei have sent matchmakers to propose marriage, why have they never seen General Li reply?

Extraordinary intelligence, unparalleled looks, and a prominent family background. Is there a more suitable woman for General Li than Ying'er? Zhao Ziming, Wang Junkuo and others all felt that Qian'er was a good companion of General Li. What makes them even more amazed is that this lady who was born in the Li family has an extremely long-term vision. Half a month ago, she had just woken up from the grief of her father-in-law Zhang Xutuo's death, and immediately began to prepare grain and grass for the Boling army. It seems that he had already expected that the staff around Li Xu would not be able to dissuade him from changing his mind of going south to avenge General Zhang, and he was also sure that his husband would set off directly after the battle in Hejian County was over, and would not return to Boling to make any delays.

Therefore, Zhao Ziming and Lu Qin led the Boling army to march on the front foot, and the grain raised from Xianyu and Tang County followed closely and was sent to Li Xu's camp. In this way, it not only greatly advanced the departure time of Boling Jingqi, but also made Li Xu, as the commander-in-chief, feel proud to have such a considerate wife.

But to Li Xu's surprise, Er Ya actually followed the baggage team to his military camp. In the name of beauty, he came to send a few winter clothes for his mother-in-law, but after putting down his clothes and family letters, he refused to leave with the team that sent the baggage. "I'm going to war, wouldn't it be a mess of military discipline with you?" Li Xu straightened his face and scolded Erya in a low voice in the inner tent. Shi Erya's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked with a smile: "When Ying'er accompanied you to suppress bandits in the Wuhui Ridge back then, didn't you need to take into account military discipline at that time?" Or at that time, there was no military discipline in Lang Jun's eyes at all? ”

In the battle of words with any woman in the family, Li Xu has never had the upper hand. Unconsciously blushed, and explained with a little guilt: "The last time was different from this time, the last time it was at my own doorstep, and there was no risk." This time......."

"No matter how risky it is this time, I will follow!" Before Li Xu finished speaking, Shi Erya had already put away his smile. raised his head and looked into Li Xu's eyes and responded, "Don't worry, this is something that Yu'er and my two sisters have discussed." Before I came, my mother-in-law also told me to take care of you, lest you accidentally fall into the hands of the wicked again! ”

"Mother and Qian'er also agree to you coming?" After listening to Erya's words, Li Xu's 'arrogance', which was not high, became a lot shorter. In his memory, Ying'er and Erya were polite to each other on the surface, but they didn't regard each other as sisters in their hearts. The two women in Pingsuri showed their scheming to each other without angering their husbands, and they fought happily. Now it's rare to unite again, and they actually formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Ah Niang.

"Mother is not worried about you! You're afraid that after you go south, someone will move the mind of the six counties again! Those big families are too cunning, and if I stay, I'm afraid I won't be their opponent, so she will give me a chance this time, so that I can stay with you for a while longer! Erya sighed softly and said.

It's not a joy to share a husband with another woman. Although she has forced herself not to fight, not to be jealous, and not to be extravagant, but she is too strong, no matter her appearance, family background, or personality, she is a hundred times her own. It turned out that when the Li family in Taiyuan refused to admit this family business, she could barely compete with Ying'er. Now that the Li family in Taiyuan has come to the door with great fanfare, she is alone, and what she can rely on is her husband's fairness.

Thinking of this, Shi Lan couldn't help but stretch out her arm and wrap her arms around her husband's waist that was almost unclaspable. couldn't say a word in his mouth, but the teary eyes on Li Xu's chest were hazy.

Seeing Erya's lowered neck trembling slightly, Li Xu's heart was also soft. He knew that he was not a very qualified husband, and most of the time, he never managed to make a bowl of water. But Erya endured all this, just like when Qi Jun accepted his desire for a woman, he accepted this not necessarily fair fate. (One of your genuine subscriptions, it will give me a lot of confidence)

Gently patting the other party's back, Xuzi said kindly: "If you really want to follow, you will change into a military uniform when you pull out the camp tomorrow." It's just that if you are tired from walking on the road, you are not allowed to cry and wipe your tears. This trip will take more than 1,000 miles......"

"Who doesn't know how to ride a horse!" Hearing Li Xu's mouth, Erya, whose tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, suddenly raised her head, and retorted while wiping her face with her hands, "I think when I was a girl, I used to ride on a horse for several days without sleep, and I didn't see me so tired that I fell off the saddle..."

Halfway through the words, his expression was gloomy. Before she met Li Xu, she naturally mixed in the rebel army with her father and brother. Later, her father and brother both died indirectly at the hands of the Sui general Zhang Xutuo who came to suppress the bandits, and she herself now wants to go south with her husband to seek justice from the person who killed Zhang Xutuo!

If the Wagang army killed Zhang Xutuo, the act of the owl to demonstrate is the revenge that must be avenged, then who should avenge the heroes of the green forest who died in the hands of Zhang Xutuo? Could it be that it is natural for Zhang Xutuo to kill the rebels, and the rebels can only stretch their necks one by one and wait for Zhang Xutuo to cut them, and they can't do any resistance?

Between husband and wife, there are some minds that can never hide from each other's intuition. From the change in the expression on his face, Li Xu understood what Erya remembered again. On this point, they can never reach a consensus. No matter how tolerant they were in other matters, their attitudes towards the rebels separated their hearts like a chasm.

When they woke up the next morning, both husband and wife saw bloodshot in each other's eyes. They deliberately don't talk about revenge anymore, and divert their attention from things that are familiar to each other.

"After leaving for so long, I wonder how our fields in Qi County are being cared for?" Li Xu guessed with a smile while watching Erya help him sort out the stumbling armor.

"The butler is a kind man, and he wants to repay you for taking you in. Ever since you were ordered to go west, you have kept your house and the fields in order. In the past few years, the world has been chaotic, so I didn't dare to let him buy more fields. Just before leaving, he ordered him to take out part of last year's surplus and build a walled manor near the 100 acres of land. Erya replied while busy. Her hands and feet were extremely neat, and she cleaned up Li Xuzhou's body very neatly in a moment. And the coherence of the words that came out was not affected in the slightest, and in just a few sentences, the family's property and subordinates in Qi County were clearly introduced.

Although with the residual prestige of the county soldiers, no rogue has dared to fight the county in the past two years. However, the local people still do not want to expand the scale of their own land without scruples, as they do in peacetime. After some small families collected the grain and kept their own food for one or two years, the rest immediately tried their best to exchange silver beans and copper ingots that could maintain their value and did not occupy space, and buried them in a place where outsiders would not know about them. The middle-sized households, who owned a scale of land like Li Xu's name, moved their families and property into the city, and built various forts next to their own fields, on the one hand, to accommodate tenants and slaves to live in it, and on the other hand, to prevent bandits from coming to snoop.

Erya is not as good at government affairs as Ying'er, but she has really done a lot of hard work in managing the trivial affairs at home. When Li Xu followed Zhang Xutuo to Wagang to suppress bandits, Qi Jun's home was taken care of by her. And before she was escorted to Boling by Luo Shixin, she also made plans for Li Xu's home in Qi County for several years.

"I've lost you all these years!" Xuzi touched Erya's hair and praised it with emotion. Although the amount of property sent by Pan Zhanyang from outside the Saiwai is quite huge, in order to gain a firm foothold in the six counties of Hebei for more than a year, the gold, silver, pearls and jade sent out in the name of Li Xu can also be measured with buckets. She is good at analyzing the opportunities and pitfalls in officialdom, but she is not very conceptual about money. And Li Xu's parents' energy is not as good as it was back then. If it weren't for Erya alone, it would never have been possible for the Li family to maintain such a huge expense without reaching out to the public treasury, and it would have been impossible for Qian'er to be comfortable in handling the relationship between the Li family and several wealthy families in the imperial court.

"Seeing that your official is getting bigger and bigger, I can't keep being a drag. In that case, before she can speak, I will have to hide far away! Er Ya smiled slightly, and her two eyes instantly turned into a pair of moon buds. You go to the Chinese army first, I'll clean up here, and then pretend to be your own soldier to follow. I also know a little bit about bow horses, so I don't need you to be distracted! ”
