Chapter 217 Stability

When everyone heard this neutral voice, they all looked back, only to find that they didn't know when General Xu was standing behind him and had been silently observing for a long time.

"The general is here, it's General Xu who is here."

Everyone seemed to be completely encouraged, and their hearts seemed to be steady, and Huilan also breathed a long sigh of relief.

General Xu strode up to the high platform with a horsewhip in his hand, looked at Huilan and smiled at her and nodded in appreciation.

Huilan saluted respectfully, silently took a step back, and stepped off the stage with the child in her arms.

General Xu glanced at the heads and corpses on the stage, and sneered, "What? The old man is not dead yet, but someone is deliberately making trouble? It was authorized by the old man to his wife, and if he is dissatisfied, he can go to the royal court, dare to raise prices, create panic, disturb the morale of the army, and kill without mercy! ”

"No."

This time, the people from the Yamen took the lead in responding, everyone should admit that Huilan did this drama for the sake of the prince's face, but in fact, he was playing the drum in his heart, but General Xu's identity is different, he is a military general, an old minister who has won the emperor's trust, and he is a promise.

There is no way to live if you annoy him, although these people are oily, who can offend, who can't play tricks, and have an account in their hearts.

"Our soldiers are still in the bloody battlefield, but you refuse to trust us, so for whom is our blood shedd? Are you not as good as a woman or a child? ”

Everyone bowed their heads, a little ashamed and embarrassed.

"Now I'm going to assign the task, and I need arrows, lots of arrows and bows, and I need everyone's collective efforts, and I need food and forage. The imperial court's salaries are already on the way, but I can't wait. ”

"General, I have prepared some of the grain and grass in the storehouse, and I can take it away at any time. I'll figure it out. ”

Hui Lan hurriedly spoke, this kind of big thing can't be tricked.

General Xu nodded and pointed at Huilan with his finger, "You look down on women, but you are the woman you look down on, you pay for it out of your own pocket to buy grain and grass, buy medicinal herbs, and treat our soldiers and wounds, aren't you panicking?" It's not as brave as a woman. ”

The crowd couldn't raise their heads when they were scolded.

"Okay, General Ben doesn't have time to fight your teeth idle, whether you are willing to help or not, our soldiers will resist to the end until they all die on the battlefield."

General Xu quickly stepped down from the stage and bowed to Huilan, "I'm leaving soon, I'm here to get grain and forage." ”

"Okay, the general will go back with me, I'm all ready."

Pei Xin followed the general back to the mansion together, and the people from the yamen let everyone disperse together, but some people took the initiative to sign up and were willing to help patrol, and those who struck iron were also willing to build arrows and other things, and everyone actively participated.

Back at the mansion, Pei Xin deliberately followed the general, one was to protect, but to load grain and grass, and put it back in a storage bag, which was easy to carry, and it was not easy to be robbed, and it was carried and transported like this several times.

Seeing that Pei Xin had packed the grain and grass and the medicinal materials refined by Huilan Xu Taiyi, General Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, let Imperial Doctor Xu go to the barracks with you, he can help you."

"What about you?"

General Xu looked at Huilan, feeling a little sorry for this woman, a heroine among women, for the sake of His Royal Highness and for the sake of these rough people, he has done his best.

"You forgot, I know medicine, it's okay, besides, I can help you buy grain, grass and medicinal materials if I stay, otherwise who will give you these things, I can leave the villagers to be more assured and more down-to-earth."

That's why she stayed here and never moved half a step, which played a role in calming people's hearts.

General Xu knew that what she said was right, but he didn't feel good in his heart, so he wiped his face and clenched his fists, "Madam, take care." ”

"Don't worry, is the jade talisman I gave you still there, will it be used?"

"It will be used, Madame, don't worry, I will always carry it."

"Okay, if there is any emergency, I will use the jade talisman to contact you, and you can also take measures in advance."

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

Hui Lan smiled and sent them away.

General Xu came in a hurry, took grain and grass and left in a hurry, but the situation and the people's will in Fengshan Town quickly stabilized, and everyone performed their duties, in an orderly manner, and was not in a panic.

After General Xu left, Li Chengze never returned, and heard that there were skirmishes on the border, and the two sides were probing and friction.

Huilan didn't see Li Chengze's figure for several months, and could only talk to him through the jade talisman.

Sister Xin is already one year old, and she didn't invite anyone, but in the house, she played with the people in Sun Bin's mansion, and Sister Xin grabbed a small wooden sword, which made everyone laugh, and it was just a laugh.

Sister Xin was warmed and dredged by Huilan for a whole year, her body was strong and she had never been sick, her little face was white and tender, and she was full of anger when she shouted, but her temper was also very stubborn.

She was already walking relatively steadily, and she couldn't speak, and could only speak simple words with monosyllabics.

On this day, Huilan hugged her in the garden to look at the flowers, "Flowers." ”

"Ahh

Sister Xin didn't let go of the flower branch, and Huilan took her little hand and gently pulled it back.

"Ahh

As soon as Sister Xin pulled off the flower branch, Huilan's eyes widened.

"Yo! Sister Xin has a lot of strength. “

Pei Liang also laughed.

"It just so happens."

"How is it possible, you see that this is a fresh branch, flexible."

"Don't make a noise, you can't see anything when you're young, and you can't see it until you're at least two years old."

"That's right, but you pay more attention on weekdays, watch her, and don't let yourself hurt."

"Okay."

"Sister Xin, come and hug your uncle."

Pei Liang picked up Sister Xin and put her on his neck, and ran around the yard, Sister Xin giggled with laughter.

Hui Lan shook her head helplessly.

"Lan'er."

Li Chengze stood at the door and watched this scene, with a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth, seeing his daughter's smile, it seemed that all the gloomy emotions had been dissolved by the sun.

"Zelang, you're back, why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"The war ahead is stable, nothing big for the time being, I'll come back to see your mother and daughter, are you and the child okay?"

"We are very good, you see how happy Sister Xin is, she likes to ride a big horse by the neck the most, but she is not less embarrassed by a few of them, and she rides them all over one by one."

Hui Lan sneered, everyone doted on Sister Xin, especially Pei Liang put the child around her neck all day long, Sister Xin was used to this being an exclusive seat.

"Your Highness, you're back, Sister Xin, Dad is back."

Pei Liang hugged Sister Xin and came over to say hello.

But because I haven't seen Sister Xin for too long, I don't know Li Chengze anymore, but I'm not afraid of life, I stared at him with big round eyes, my eyes were full of curiosity, and I reached out and grabbed his fingers.

"Sister Xin, let Dad hug me, my good daughter, Dad misses you."

Li Chengze stretched out his hand to his daughter, and Sister Xin didn't refuse or respond much, but still let him hold him in her arms.

"It's okay, let you hug it, your daughter's temper is stubborn, and she scratched her face last time, so she didn't take her to the garden to play because she was delayed for a while."

"My daughter is a princess, what's wrong with a little temper, do you want your daughter to become a little sheep and others don't dare to say anything about bullying."

Li Chengze choked unceremoniously and went back, and the princess had to have the style and temper of a princess.

Hui Lan shook her head and said nothing, too lazy to bother with him.

"Go back and wash up, Sister Xin will come to my mother's hug."

Sister Xin immediately stretched out her hand to Huilan and was about to leave without hesitation, causing Li Chengze to look lost.

"She doesn't know you anymore, just get acquainted with it for a few days. You have also worked hard, take a bath and rest, cook a few good dishes in the evening, and you brothers have a glass of wine together and talk. ”

Huilan hugged her daughter and left, and went to Zhang Luo to get a few good dishes.

"Your Highness, the situation in Fengshan Town is quite stable, Madam has led everyone to do a lot of work, and there are people who regularly patrol the town, you can rest assured."
