Chapter 426: General Cao
Nursery rhyme carries something back home.
Xiaolan hurriedly took the things, glanced at them hurriedly, and said with a smile.
"Ma'am, do you want to cook the food yourself?"
The nursery rhyme smiled slightly.
"Well, you take the pig's trotters in and deal with them first, and I'll go see the little pumpkin and come over."
"Okay."
Xiaolan happily went to the kitchen.
The nursery rhyme walked to his room, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the laughter of the little pumpkin.
Children's laughter is the most healing, and the corners of the nursery rhyme can't help but rise when they hear it.
"Little pumpkin, my mother is back."
As soon as the little pumpkin who was playing with Yun Niang heard the sound of the nursery rhyme, the little guy immediately got up from the ground, and a pair of eyes looked in the direction of the door.
"Mother, mother!"
The nursery rhyme squatted down and hugged the little pumpkin, fragrant on his face.
"Baby, my mother will make you something to eat in the evening."
"Eat, eat."
The little pumpkin screamed when she heard it, and her little hands kept clapping.
Nursery rhymes really feel that if they continue to educate like this, this guy will not be a foodie in the future, and they all say that children develop habits before the age of three, but during this time, I don't know if my father-in-law can come back, and boys still have to follow their fathers to learn more masculinity.
Suddenly, I felt a little distressed, and now I don't know anything about the little pumpkin.
"Little pumpkin, do you want daddy?"
Little Pumpkin's big eyes staring at the nursery rhyme seem to be thinking, what the hell is Daddy.
Nursery rhyme looked at him like this, and his heart was soft.
"Daddy likes our little pumpkin, but he has something to do, so he can only leave us temporarily, and oh, Daddy is a big handsome guy, our little pumpkin looks like Daddy, and he will be a little handsome guy when he grows up."
The little pumpkin still didn't speak, and one hand was still in her mouth, and the little mouth was drooling.
The nursery rhyme is quite helpless.
Yun Niang stepped forward and smiled as she listened to the nursery rhyme to teach the little pumpkin.
"Don't worry, the child's memory is not good, wait until the New Year when the uncle comes back, and then get closer to the little pumpkin, the little pumpkin will definitely be close to the uncle."
The nursery rhyme glanced at Yun Niang, who didn't know anything, and her heart was complicated, and she could only smile like a stream of kindness on her face.
"Hmm."
At this time, Chen Xuan, who was being nagged, was following General Cao Guangcao's side, and everywhere he looked was seawater.
"These bandits are really cunning, if it weren't for the new barrels in their hands, I would have gone and wiped them out."
Chen Xuan looked towards the sea, and at this time he could no longer see the boat of the water bandits.
"General, don't be angry, this time we will also hit them hard, it is estimated that they will not dare to come out again for ten days and half a month, and we still need to think about things in the long run."
Cao Guang listened to Chen Xuan's words, nodded with satisfaction, he liked Chen Xuan's impatience, turned his head sideways and looked up at Chen Xuan, sure enough, the hero didn't ask where he came from, where could he imagine that a hunter had such wisdom.
Chen Xuan let Cao Guang look at it, and there was not the slightest expression on his extremely ordinary face.
At this time, a soldier standing on Cao Guang's right hand, seeing Cao Guang's eyes looking at Chen Xuan, his eyes darkened, and then he lowered his eyes, since this Chen Xuan came, he has become more and more useless in the general's place, he wants to make the plan to drive this Chen Xuan away, but this person is really the material for war, when they were entangled with the water bandits before, eight out of ten times were played by the water bandits, and they were taken away by the water bandits, but since Chen Xuan came, the water bandits have suffered several losses in their hands.
In this way, Chen Xuan's status in the general's heart is naturally high.
"Let's go back."
Cao Guang retracted his gaze from staring at Chen Xuan and said loudly.
Deputy Wan immediately responded with a smile and gave orders to the surrounding ships.
At this time, Cao Guang walked in the direction of the cabin.
Chen Xuan also followed.
Seeing this, Deputy Wan's expression changed, and he immediately followed after giving the order, for fear that Chen Xuan would be favored by the general again.
As soon as I entered the cabin, some people changed into hot tea and some pastries.
"You all sit down"
Cao Guang took the lead in sitting down, and then motioned to Chen Xuan and Deputy Wan.
Deputy Wan immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Chen Xuan sat Deputy Wan on Cao Guang's left hand, and he walked to the right.
Cao Guangzi noticed their movements, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.
"Today's stop is to teach those bandits a lesson for the time being, but the weather is getting colder, they are very short of food at sea, I estimate that they will be able to act again in a short time, and there are several forces on the sea, I am worried that they will unite at that time."
Cao Guang frowned as he spoke.
Chen Xuan glanced at Cao Guang, this person is a little greedy, but he is not the kind of official who does not do things, he has been here for a few months and has also collected some information about the pirates here.
"General, if that time really comes, we may need foreign support."
Cao Guang raised his eyes to look at Chen Xuan and did not speak.
Deputy Wan glanced at Cao Guang's expression, then looked at Chen Xuan unkindly, and said with a smirk.
"Mr. Chen, you have been with the general for a long time, it's not that you don't know that in Fuzhou, our general is the most distressed by the people, as for General Wen's side, he has always been at odds with us, could it be that you want our general to bow to General Wen?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and looked directly at Deputy Wan.
"This kind of thing is naturally to go to the governor, the governor's term of office is also approaching and he is old, the slaughter of the fishing village in front of him has caused controversy, and if something really happens after that, I don't think it will be what the governor wants to see."
As soon as the words fell, Deputy Wan sneered.
"Mr. Chen, don't forget, General Wen is the governor's niece and son-in-law, even if our general finds the governor to ask for support, he will definitely not send troops over immediately, and even more so, they will directly pick our fruits, who knows if they will make a fuss about it when the time comes to reward them for meritorious deeds."
Chen Xuan frowned, a little disliked Deputy Wan's style, this thing had not happened yet, he had already thought of the victory in the future.
However, he did not argue with Deputy Wan anymore, but set his eyes on Cao Guang, after all, it was Cao Guang who made the decision.
Seeing that Chen Xuan directly ignored his words, Deputy Wan tightened the hand on his lap, and his eyes looking at Chen Xuan were also full of gloom, waiting for him, sooner or later, one day, he would let him roll away, where did he come from, where did he go back!
Cao Guang drank tea slowly, and didn't seem to see the mismatch between Chen Xuan and Deputy Wan.
"I need to think about it."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Xuan and said with a smile.
"Chen Xuan's cannon barrel matter, you pay more attention here, okay, you can go back and rest first."
When Chen Xuan saw Cao Guang say this, he didn't say much, stood up and arched his hand towards Cao Guang and walked outside.
As soon as Deputy Wan saw Chen Xuan leave, he immediately said to Cao Guang.
"General, you have to think twice, it's not nice to say something small, Mr. Chen wants you to rush ahead, maybe he is hiding something?"
Cao Guang glanced at Deputy Wan lightly.
Deputy Wan immediately closed his mouth.
Cao Guang put the teacup on the table at this time, and unlike his rugged appearance, his eyes were full of wisdom.
"It's an opportunity."
Deputy Wan immediately looked at Cao Guang, he had been by Cao Guang's side for many years, and he understood some of his thoughts, he pursed his lips, and he was still a little unwilling in his heart.
"But over the years, the governor has been promoting Wen Jiangchuan openly and secretly, otherwise, relying on his qualifications, how can he be on an equal footing with the general."
Cao Guang didn't know this in his heart, but he saw his eyes turn slightly, looking at Deputy Wan.
"How did you check Chen Xuan's identity?"
Facing Cao Guang's gaze, Deputy Wan didn't dare to lie.
"Indeed, as he said, he was the only one in the family, his father was an old hunter but when he was still a child, he went into the mountains and was attacked by fierce beasts and died in the mountains, and her mother died soon after his father's death, so he was left alone, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, and he did not marry a daughter-in-law at this age because he had no land, but he had a bright brain, and after hunting in the mountains, he often sent some to the gentlemen in the village, and the master gave him to read and write."
"It was also the master who told him to let him come out and break in, so he came all the way to Fuzhou and happened to meet us."
Cao Guang was satisfied when he heard it, Chen Xuan was very easy to use, and he didn't have such a burden as his family, so he didn't have so many scruples when he started doing things.
Deputy Wan also saw that Cao Guang was satisfied with Chen Xuan, and he was about to grit his teeth.
"General."
"Huh?"
Cao Guang glanced at Deputy Wan, and Deputy Wan didn't dare to speak.
"Don't worry, although Chen Xuan is a manufacturable material, but I can't compare to you being by my side all the time, don't worry, I have a number in my heart."
When Deputy Wan heard Cao Guang's words, he was overjoyed and stopped talking.
Chen Xuan walked out of Cao Guang's cabin, he did not return to his cabin as soon as possible, but went to the deck, the sea breeze blowing, and the taste of his nose also made his mind even more happy.
He put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes, Yaoyao said before that she wanted to watch the sea with him, but now he is the only one here, and when everything is over, he must bring Yaoyao here, they watch the sunrise on the beach together, and then watch the sunset, at that time the little pumpkin should also be able to walk, and Ah Qing is already a teenager.
At that time, their family of four can also barbecue on the beach, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth can't stop rising, and when he opens his eyes and looks at the vast sea, the thoughts in his heart will become heavier and heavier.
"Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."
