Bai Ling did not exploit employees, and said at the reception banquet that the master and others would be allowed to rest for a few days before the class officially started.

Suddenly, there were a few more people in the family, and the people had to be busy.

However, there is a separate small stove room on the side of the guest house, and I am afraid that a few people are not used to the taste of the north, so Bai Ling asked people to send ingredients over every day, and Mrs. Ya arranged the dishes by herself.

In order to give the group enough space, Bai Ling deliberately asked people to partition the guest house, so that the family was not afraid of being disturbed.

The arrival of the master made the Bai Ling sisters unable to be idle every day, and the female master's classes alone made them have no leisure time.

Bai Xiaoshan continued to study with Meng Fuzi, and the effect of his pre-reading was much better than his own pre-reading.

Meng Diexiang, who originally felt sorry for her brother and sister-in-law, after learning about the learning progress of the Bai family's sisters and brothers, her impetuous heart also settled down, and she took her niece to participate in the study every day.

"Ling'er, the age of the three of you sisters, it is a little late to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I plan to focus on cultivating a talent according to your interests, and you can get started and appreciate other aspects. Apricot is young, but it can be cultivated in an all-round way, I don't know what you mean? ”

After finishing a day's schoolwork, Mrs. Ya deliberately left Bai Ling to talk about her course layout.

"As the master said, Ling'er thinks it's very good."

Bai Ling also had such thoughts, so he said truthfully:

"The sisters in the family have their own affairs, but now the winter is leisurely, all the schoolwork is studied, and there is plenty of time. After the beginning of spring, you need to arrange your time according to the Master's curriculum. ”

"Okay." Mrs. Ya has been here for a while, and she knows the situation of the Bai family, so she has no objection to this.

Bai Ling said goodbye and left, and when he met Xiao Mu, who had just finished teaching Bai Xiaoshan chess, he nodded.

"Miss Bai Ling is going to town tomorrow?" Xiao Mu spoke gently.

"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, admiring Xiao Mu's appearance and temperament, but he always felt that this person should not be a master and was puzzled, "Sir, is there something wrong?" ”

"I want to go to town and buy something, can I catch the girl's carriage?" Xiao Mu asked politely.

"Okay, tomorrow before I leave, I will have someone inform the master." Bai Ling thought for a moment, then nodded.

After returning to the room, Bai Ling recalled Xiao Mu's actions after coming to the mansion, and there was nothing abnormal.

But Bai Ling tested Mrs. Ya, and Mrs. Ya's answer was very vague, which also showed that there was no problem with Xiao Mu's identity, which made Bai Ling not move to let people investigate Xiao Mu's reason.

"I must have thought too much, except for those few recipes at home, there shouldn't be anything worth thinking about." Bai Ling couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Mrs. Ya was invited by Shangguan Yu, and she said that Xiao Mu was not a danger, so she could be trusted.

Bai Ling didn't realize that he trusted Shangguan Yu so much, and even the people he invited also gave his trust.

Border.

Just after killing and repelling the enemy army, Shangguan Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and returned to the camp to discuss the border defense layout with several generals.

"Fortunately, the young marshal made preparations in advance, so that the enemy army did not take the city defense directly. But I'm surprised, the enemy army seems to know about our previous defenses, could it be that someone in our army leaked military secrets? ”

The general, who was sitting in Shangguan Yu's hand, finished speaking happily and expressed his suspicions again.

The other generals were the same, and they did not have much joy at the victory.

The Zixiao Army had just replaced the defense for less than a day, and it was Shangguan Yu's temporary order, so the enemy army did not capture the city.

If it weren't for Shangguan Yu's foresight, even if the city could be defended, it would have suffered heavy casualties.

"Young marshal, what have you discovered? If there is a suspicious person, let's tie up and interrogate it first! This kind of turtle grandson who harms others and benefits himself should be dealt with by military law! ”

"Yes, young marshal, if there is really a traitor, but you can't keep it, otherwise the whole army will have to pin your head to the waistband of your pants, who can be a soldier with peace of mind!"

"Yes, our Zixiao Army can't tolerate internal thieves, so we have to find out."

In the face of everyone's indignation, Shangguan Yu looked calm, and waited for everyone to look at him before saying, "You don't need to panic, the person who leaked the secret this time is none other than Young Marshal Ben." ”

"What?" Everyone looked at Shangguan Yu in disbelief, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

"Beichen Kingdom comes to harass our army every few days, and if you don't give them a heavy blow, you will be impetuous."

Shangguan Yu raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then he told the story.

Ever since the crown prince of Beichen Kingdom and the three princes of the current dynasty joined forces to assassinate Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu has been paying attention to the movements of Beichen Kingdom, especially everything about the crown prince of Beichen Kingdom.

The general of Beichen who led the troops this time was the uncle of the prince, and he made a military order to conquer the border defense of the Eastern Han Dynasty within half a year.

And that assassination was to make Shangguan Yu have an accident, the king of Han lost his only son, and the Zixiao army will definitely have low morale and even unstable morale.

The reason why Shangguan Yu only defended and did not attack was to delay time and give the opponent a heavy blow at a critical moment.

"Beichen Country is short of grain and grass, and the army is also insufficient. Although today's battle only killed 10,000 enemy troops, it was the enemy's vanguard force, and unless they had the determination to break through the cauldron and sink the ship, they would never dare to carry out it in a short time. ”

Shangguan Yu pulled out his sword, turned around and pointed to the valley of the Beichen Kingdom garrison, and said in a cold voice:

"The terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if our army pursues it relentlessly, the losses will be incalculable. Therefore, Major Marshal Ben decided to attack the enemy barracks and burn their food and grass materials. ”

"That's a good idea, the last general will ask for his life."

When several generals heard this, they got up one after another to ask for their lives, for fear that they would lose their qualifications if they were slow to beat.

"The generals have been dealing with the war for months, and they haven't been with their families for a long time, right?" Shangguan Yu turned his words, put away his edge, and when everyone was confused, "Tonight, the young marshal is guarding the city gate, the generals may wish to go home for a small gathering, if they haven't rested at midnight, they can watch the fireworks for free." ”

"What fireworks? It's still far from the Chinese New Year, who burns more money, put that thing! Someone asked puzzled.

However, a young general understood what Shangguan Yu meant, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the young marshal's compassion, the last general will definitely prepare wine and food tonight, and enjoy how brilliant the fireworks in the rear of the enemy army are with his family." ”

Once dialed, most people understood what Shangguan Yu meant, and they were happy to accompany their families, and they could also see the enemy army unlucky.

As for who Shangguan Yu arranged to burn the enemy's grain and grass, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask.

There is a mysterious team in the Zixiao Army, which is not allowed to be joined by non-elites, but it is no longer in the roster of the army, secretly serving the Han Palace.

And being able to enter this mysterious team is the lifelong wish of countless children.

Sitting alone in the big tent, Shangguan Yu played with the jade pendant on his chest, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Girl, in order to meet you as soon as possible, this young marshal even called Zimang. When we meet again, Young Marshal Ben doesn't want to be friends with you anymore, are you ready? ”

Shangguan Yu whispered to himself and wouldn't tell anyone that he was in a hurry to attack the enemy because Xiao Mu was staying in the Bai family.

Although Bai Ling is familiar with Duan Yulang, Ouyang Xun and others, and their friendship is good, only Xiao Mu's appearance gave Shangguan Yu a sense of crisis.

This is a man's intuition, and it is also Shangguan Yu's appreciation of Xiao Mu as a person.
