Chapter 142: General Mo Wubian
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Xicheng, Mo Wubian has made up for the work left by the prince before, such as training troops, and helping him take care of Luo Luoyu in the palace.
Luo Luoyu is a well-known pungent character in the world, not to mention how powerless she was to the housewife of the small household at the queen's banquet a few days ago, just by chopping off that person's hand, it has already made many girls in the city frightened, and even in order to prevent her from meeting such a person on the road, women go out to prevent being jealous of being envied on the street.
Since it was rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the house, the Luo family has always been on the street, this whole month, how many people's eldest ladies dare not go out at will, for fear of accidentally meeting her, in one accidentally offended her, and another accidentally offended the family behind her, in this way, not to mention whether their own life can be saved, on the strong attack of this family force, their own family will never be allowed.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only been to Xicheng for a month, Mo Wubian pinched the knife in his hand, and waved it smoothly, and the sound of the courtyard was left by his big knife cutting through the air.
Hook foot sweep, a sweeping leg will be the entire yard of the fallen leaves are stirred into the air, another chop, in the air messy flying leaves in the air in an integrated momentum gathered in one place, was cut off by a thunderbolt, and when Mo Wubian stood still, the fallen leaves fell to the ground, but the difference is that at this time, none of the fallen leaves are complete.
The housekeeper stepped forward at the right time, glanced at the fallen leaves in the garden, and then said tremblingly: "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to spread the word that he will not go to the training ground in the afternoon, you can see ......."
Mo Wubian stretched out his hand and lifted the knife behind him, "Got it, you go down."
After the words fell, Mo Wubian walked into the hall, put the big knife in his hand on the table, and made a pot of tea for himself, the tea used was the jar that Hongling gave him yesterday, he came back yesterday and thought about making a little drink, but then he thought that it was the end of the curtain, and such a good tea was about to be wasted after only a few sips, so he endured it until this morning.
Although Mo Wubian is not smiling, he still knows a little about the tea hospitality that these literati and ink writers love, but he doesn't like to be like those people, making tea is so troublesome, how to brew it is not brewing, so Mo Wubian neatly put a pinch of tea leaves in the teapot, and brewed it directly with boiling water.
The tea leaves have not yet fully unfolded, Mo Wubian couldn't help but pour himself a cup first, and the fragrance suddenly dispersed in the air, as if it had the taste of flowers and plants more than the flowers and plants outside the door.
Mo Wubian hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and slowly sent half a mouthful into his mouth, a rich and sweet taste raged in his mouth, although he usually didn't know much about the quality of these teas, but this tea was definitely of the highest quality, and the coolness slid through his throat, like a handful of water touching him in his throat.
Mo Wubian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of his jade pendant, which was a unique pendant of the four major families, but he didn't expect that he accidentally lost it and was picked up by her, thinking about it, it was really another unique fate, but she was the princess of His Royal Highness the Prince.
The corners of Mo Wubian's mouth gradually drooped, looking a little stiff, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially asked himself to go to the mansion for dinner, and when he ate, he was so embarrassed to the princess, wasn't he afraid of her identity, worried that she was a spy of Tianpu? Or has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never put her in his eyes?
Thinking of this, Mo Wubian slowly frowned, and a little worry arose in his heart, but for some reason, he didn't know how to dissipate.
Mo Wubian stood by the window for a long time, and suddenly, the little guy came to report: "General, the palace has a letter", the little guy put the letter on the table in a regular manner, and slowly retreated.
Mo Wubian raised his brows slightly, hesitantly looked at the envelope on the table, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the royal capital, he went to the palace on the first day of the next day, and met Ye Xiaohan, as soon as he walked to the back garden that day, it rained lightly, in the octagonal pavilion that must be passed to the back garden, he met Ye Xiaohan by chance, and remembered that day, Ye Xiaohan hurriedly ran into the pavilion because of the rain.
"You are?"
Ye Xiaohan's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, and Mo Wubian arched his hand slightly, "Mo Wubian, I came to protect the hospital for the prince today, so I came here."
Hearing Mo Wubian's answer, the corners of Ye Xiaohan's mouth raised a beautiful arc, "It turned out to be General Mo."
At that time, Mo Wubian didn't know Ye Xiaohan's identity, but he thought that this woman was very interesting, so he talked with Ye Xiaohan, Tiangong was done, the rain that day fell until the afternoon, and the two had been sitting and chatting in the pavilion, Mo Wubian was very calm, but he didn't know that Ye Xiaohan had gradually missed him in his heart at that time.
Therefore, since then, the two have often exchanged letters, and it was not until yesterday that he learned that the person he had been chatting with was actually the side concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Mo Wubian looked at the letter on the table, the trickling small characters on it were clearly Ye Xiaohan's handwriting, but the two of them have often been in contact like this for so many days, if it is known by His Royal Highness the Prince, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings, and thinking of Luo Luoyu's teasing of the two of them yesterday, thinking about it, if this matter is known by His Royal Highness the Prince, it will inevitably cause an uproar, even so......
Mo Wubian slowly picked up the letter on the table, pinched his thumb and index finger hard, and threw it into the brazier without thinking, he was the general of Nanzhao, naturally he couldn't let himself have an irreconcilable estrangement between himself and the prince, whether it was for the home of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or for the country of Nanzhao, he would not allow himself to do that kind of rebellious thing.
Mo Wubian returned to his seat, and slowly poured another cup of tea for himself, and the fragrance instantly spread around him, this tea is definitely a rare and good tea......
"General, the soldiers brought back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago are still to be dismissed, and the generals of the military department are still waiting for you to preside over the overall situation."
As soon as Mo Wubian put down the cup, a soldier from the military department came to report, Mo Wubian bowed slightly, "You go back first, I will arrive later", the soldier hurriedly saluted and retired, Mo Wubian quickly poured a cup of tea for himself, and after drinking it all, he immediately got up and went to the military department.
The maid who had been ordered bowed her head again and again, and respectfully put down the tea set she had just picked up in her hand slowly, and Mo Wubian went to the military headquarters without looking back.
As soon as he arrived at the military department, the general came to report the situation, Mo Wubian listened carefully to the general to tell the details of the soldiers in Xicheng, and he knew that Xicheng had not replaced soldiers for so many years, so you can imagine how the soldiers in Xicheng would complain.
Today, there are still more than 70,000 soldiers in Xicheng waiting to return to their hometowns, and how can they find so many qualified soldiers to make up for it in this short period of time.
Mo Wubian's expression gradually became solemn, and the soldiers who reported it reported the situation in Xicheng word for word, and the more he said, the more dignified Mo Wubian's expression became, if you want to replace the soldiers in Xicheng, then you must now increase your efforts to recruit soldiers, but if you do so, it will inevitably cause a new panic, if the people's emotions are tense because of this matter, it will definitely outweigh the loss.
But if you don't do this, then how can you replace those soldiers who have been working for six or seven years?
Mo Wubian got up slowly, "Take me to see those soldiers."
The general's order led Mo Wubian to the camp again and again, the soldiers in the camp were sighing and waiting for the above arrangement, one or two naturally looked spiritless, Mo Wubian stood far away for a long time, and then retreated from everyone and walked there alone.
"How many years has the little brother been in the army?"
The dejected little soldier didn't bother to raise his head and said: "I am much longer than you as a soldier, and I am less big in front of Lao Tzu."
Mo Wubian smiled and slowly sat next to Xiao Bing, "My predecessors have been soldiers for a few years, and my life as a soldier is quite good?" I heard that these soldiers of Xicheng were specially sent by the imperial court to bring them back, and they are treated much better than our soldiers."
"Shit! Go to the damn court, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for so many years, there are a lot of small things with big farts, and good things have never been fished"
"Hey, how did I hear that you veterans were lucky to be selected back, isn't it a good thing?"
I saw that the little soldier suddenly smashed the scabbard in his hand to the ground and said, "Good thing? My brother, because he was born a year later than me, was trapped in Xicheng, and I don't know when it was a head, you said that we were lucky to come back, then do you know, if it weren't for the pity of our generals who took pity on us and mentioned it to His Royal Highness the Prince, we five hundred people would never have been put back like this, and now we finally returned to the royal capital, which general did you see came to ask us about our length? What is the old man returning to his hometown, I don't know how to squeeze us! ”。
Xiao Bing said excitedly, but in the end, his eyes were already full of tears of sorrow, and in addition to being sad and sad, Xiao Bing pulled off the helmet on his head again and again and fell to the ground.
Mo Wubian slowly stood up from his side, walked to the military tent, and returned to the tent, Mo Wubian looked at the generals standing in the tent, and slowly said: "From now on, strengthen the care for veterans, as for the veterans' return to their hometowns, I will decide after careful consultation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the matter of conscription should be posted to various villages as soon as possible, and the notices must be posted to the villages as soon as possible, so that the people everywhere must see it, and do not force it."
"Yes"
