Chapter 344: Supporting Mu Nanyun
Dong Lang didn't allow Qu Xiaobai to walk, set up a car, and ordered Luoluo to prepare some clothes to accompany him, and he personally drove to Sanlihe Village.
Qu Xiaobai is too lazy to worry about such a small matter with Dong Lang, whatever he says, she will do whatever he wants, and it is also for her good.
It's just a bit of a task.
When I went to Zhuangzi in Sanlihe Village, Xin Qingjun and Zhao Yuan, husband and wife, as well as some stewards, were there. Xin Qingjun was afraid that Zhao Yuanchu would take over Zhuangzi and would not be able to deal with the people in the army, so he pushed the affairs of Zixuzhuang and rushed to the town in person.
As soon as Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling got out of the car, Luoluo put their cloaks on them, treating them as if they were protected animals.
Xin Qingjun, Zhao Yuan and others came out to greet her, and after greeting her, Qu Xiaobai asked, "Where is the person in charge of transporting grain sent by the army?" ”
Xin Qingjun said: "I've already gone to the grain hoard first." ”
Qu Xiaobai picked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's quite positive to do things, in the end, it's the people under Lao Mu's hands." ”
"There are no weak soldiers under a strong general."
"Strongman? Does he give you the impression that he is a strong general? Then he would be too much of a failure. ”
Xin Qingjun also smiled. Others don't understand, but he does. He is Yang Ling's confidant, and he is smart, so he naturally knows that Mu Nanyun has disguised himself as a merry green hat general for so long, and the purpose is to create an illusion for the emperor and the Rong family, the Mu family has declined, and the next generation of the Mu family has no success.
"That's it...... It's okay, too. After all, it is a quasi-horse, and it can be regarded as a young man. ”
Qu Xiaobai teased him: "I want to tell Lao Mu that you will pluck him." ”
Xin Qingjun really had no choice but to smile and forgive: "The little housewife is merciful, if General Mu Xiao is looking for trouble with his subordinates, his subordinates can't resist it." ”
"It's okay to be merciful, you have to accompany me to Xiaobai Mountain when you go back." She turned her head to look at Dong Lang, glanced at him, and complained to her face: "This person doesn't let me go up the mountain, he listens to you the most, you persuade him and let him let me go up the mountain." ”
Dare to dig the pit here. But no matter how big this pit is, Xin Qingjun can't jump into it, he said: "Little master, it's not that I don't want to accompany you up the mountain, it's really that your current physical condition doesn't allow it." You wait patiently, after giving birth, I will definitely accompany you up the mountain. ”
Qu Xiaobai's face darkened: "Do I still need you to accompany me at that time?" It's not like I don't have long legs. Qingjun, since you don't want to help, then I have to figure out my own way. If something happens then, your Lord is likely to ......."
The threatening words were not spoken, but the meaning was already clearly expressed, and Xin Qingjun said helplessly: "Little master, we really don't dare to take this risk." What the hell are you doing up the mountain? Now, what can be more important than the Lord and the Young Master? ”
Dong Lang glanced at Qu Xiaobai angrily and said, "If you don't allow it, you still don't want to toss!" ”
Qu Xiaobai actually hesitated in his heart, going up the mountain, I was afraid that my body would not be able to bear it, and I would not go up the mountain, this matter of developing the mine was imminent......
"Okay, I'll think again. Actually, I'm in good health now, and it's okay to go up the mountain. I just wish I could go to the mountains and have a look before it snows, and I don't do anything dangerous. ”
Xin Qingjun and Dong Lang both looked at her and didn't speak, and she silently closed her mouth.
"Hurry up and see the grain transport officer, if you grind for a while, I will have to give you medicine when I come back."
"Do you have no other new way to force me to comply, except to threaten me with medicine?" Qu Xiaobai blocked Dong Lang angrily.
In fact, she was also worried about her body and the son in her womb, otherwise, she would not be able to stop her by whether Xin Qingjun or Dong Lang was opposite him.
The grain hoard of Sanlihe Village is built on the north side of Zhuangzi, bypassing Zhuangzi, although the autumn breeze is a little cool, but the sun is very bright, the sky is high and refreshing, Qu Xiaobai does not want to get on the carriage again, and insists on walking over, because within the daily mileage limit, Dong Lang is not easy to say refusal.
It was the first time for Qu Xiaobai to come to this Zhuangzi.
This Zhuangzi was bought back from the landlord Zhang, and the person who handled it was Zhao Yuan, and she didn't even come to see it.
Now I finally see the true face of this Zhuangzi, I only feel that Zhuangzi is very large, almost three as big as her new house, and the courtyard wall is also very high, in order to prevent thieves, the wall is full of thorn branches. Looking inside from the outside of the wall, they are all gray tile houses with strong local characteristics, and there are as many as five courtyards in front and back.
With such a large yard and more than 100 acres of good land, it cost only 1,000 taels of silver at the beginning, and Qu Xiaobai picked up a big bargain. As everyone knows, when Yang Ling visited Zhang's house at night, he had already paid some of the silver, and put some pressure on Landlord Zhang, so that he had to take action.
In Yang Ling's opinion, this is just a trivial matter, which has never been mentioned in front of Qu Xiaobai, and Qu Xiaobai has not known about it until now.
After going around two miles, I finally arrived at the grain hoard.
The grain hoards are some temporary grain hoards newly built on the basis of the original grain hoards of the landlord Zhang's family, which are enough to shelter from the wind and rain, but if they hoard grain for the winter, these temporary grain hoards obviously do not meet the requirements, so Qu Xiaobai is eager to let the Mu family army pull the grain away.
It is true that there is another important reason that the border army is fighting with the Di Yi army and continues to provide food and grass, even if she has many contradictions with Mu Nanyun, she will not calculate the military needs of the border army.
This autumn, the grain harvested in the ten miles of land she bought was temporarily stored here.
In front of the grain hoard is a grain field for drying grain, covering an area of 50 acres, at this time the grain field is still drying golden corn, at a glance, full of harvest feeling.
More than 100 soldiers in front of the grain field were busy loading grain into the car, and hundreds of villagers were helping.
Qu Xiaobai looked at the commander of the soldiers from a distance, but he didn't remember who it was for a while, and when he got closer, he recognized that person was Han Weilin.
As soon as Han Weilin saw Yang Ling, he hurriedly greeted him, gave a deep salute, and said with a happy face: "I heard that Engong was injured, but now he is healed?" ”
Except for Qu Xiaobai, her group all looked at each other and did not answer.
Qu Xiaobai said very naturally: "Brother Han, it turned out to be you." No wonder I looked familiar from afar. ”
Han Weilin said: "Yes, it's me." I heard that I was going to come to our town to transport grain, so I specially asked General Mu Xiao to serve as this grain transport officer, just to stop by to see me, the captain of the Duke of En. Engong, are you already well? ”
"Thank you Brother Han for your concern, Yang Ling has gotten much better, but for the time being, he can't go into battle with Brother Han to kill the enemy."
Qu Xiaobai smiled on her face, so that people couldn't see the sourness in her heart at all. Obviously, Han Weilin didn't know that Yang Ling had injured his brain, so he also laughed and said, "Engong has taken care of his body first, and it is not too late to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future." ”
He looked at Yang Ling and bowed deeply again, "My subordinates see Lord Captain." ”
Han Weilin is Yang Ling's personal soldier, and even he doesn't know that Yang Ling is injured and has an old brain disease, which shows that the secrecy work in the army is very good. But since Mu Nanyun allowed Han Weilin to come, he didn't plan to hide Han Weilin's intentions anymore. As to whether he meant anything else, there was no doubt about it, there must be.
Qu Xiaobai didn't have time to guess what Mu Nanyun meant for the time being, so he hurriedly helped him and said, "Brother Han, don't be so polite, Yang Ling is younger than you, so he should be called a big brother, but you are tormenting him like this." ”
Yang Ling didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't even look at Han Weilin, even if Han Weilin was a rough man, he also sensed that something was wrong at this time. It's just that Yang Ling has always been an indifferent and arrogant person, and although Han Weilin felt that something was wrong, he didn't dare to think elsewhere.
Qu Xiaobai didn't want to embarrass each other in public, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Han, let's load the grain and get on the car first, Yang Ling and I will prepare a little thin wine at noon, treat all the hard-working brothers, and then go on the road after everyone eats." Let's go back to Zhuangzi first to prepare. ”
Han Weilin wanted to say something again, Qu Xiaobai had already taken Yang Ling's hand and turned back to Zhuangzi.
Han Weilin looked confused, but he could only load the grain first.
After Qu Xiaobai returned to Zhuangzi, he ordered Zhao Yuan to gather all the villagers back, and asked everyone to load all the grain into the car before noon. He also asked Zhao Yuan to ride a horse to the town to buy meat, the whole pork leg, bought more than a dozen slices, and bought two cows of beef, after coming back, let the cooks in the Zhuangzi cook, the pork leg was cut into small pieces of braised meat, and the beef was put into a large pot and made into sauce beef.
Then he asked Xin Qingjun to go home and pull more than 100 jars of wine.
In addition to stewing meat, I also stewed some Chinese cabbage. On the battlefield, even if there is enough food and grass, the food is still hard. Qu Xiaobai had been in Shadow Mountain and knew that they were short of vegetables to eat, so he ordered several large pots of cabbage to be stewed with pork belly.
At noon, the grain was loaded, and the soldiers' meals were opened on the grain field, and the big wooden basins were filled with brightly colored braised pork, pork stewed cabbage, and cut sauce beef, there were 20 large pots, in addition to the soldiers, the Zhuang Ding who helped to load the cart also ate together.
Large pieces of meat, big bowls of wine, not only have the soldiers not eaten such a meal for a long time, even the villagers usually can't even catch such a big meat and wine for the New Year, and everyone is in full swing for a while.
Qu Xiaobai opened a single table at home, and the dishes were almost the same, but they were all served on plates, fried a few dishes, and opened two jars of good wine, except for Xin Qingjun's family members on the table, mainly for Han Weilin, a guest.
But Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling did not appear on the table again.
Under the pretext of going home to take medicine, she returned to her mansion with Yang Ling early.
Han Weilin had regrets in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't delay Yang Ling to take medicine, so he could only eat and drink with great regret. After eating, he wanted to say goodbye to Yang Ling, but was politely rejected by Xin Qingjun.
Xin Qingjun said: "Lord Han, let's hurry up and get on the road, so as not to be unsafe on the road when it gets dark." ”
Han Weilin was suspicious in his heart, and said: "It seems that Engong and his wife deliberately want to hide in Xia, and they haven't done anything to be sorry for Engong and his wife, can you ask Manager Xin to solve a puzzle or two for Zaixia?" ”
