Chapter Eighty-Eight: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (9)
In the hearts of those powerful people, women are still women after all, and they can't be compared to these seven-foot men in any way. She was originally the chief envoy of the Ministry of Supervision and Supervision, she was capable and talented, but she couldn't stop the slander of sour text and fake vinegar, not to mention that now, she is Mrs. Xiao.
How difficult Mu Yunqing is at the moment, Xiao Yuexi can imagine, on the one hand, she hopes that she can go back as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she has to think about him...... She couldn't be here, silent.
"Mrs. Xiao!" Not far away, Zhao Rong's hearty voice with a smile came from behind.
Xiao Yuexi turned her head and smiled with a well-behaved and proper smile. In front of Zhao Rong, Xiao Yuexi still maintained the posture of a little sister, and the phrase "Second Brother Zhao", which has been called for many years, can shorten the distance between the two. She has always disliked putting on a shelf, not to mention that this time is really not suitable for putting on a shelf.
"I'm tired of Second Brother Zhao coming with me." Xiao Yuexi said modestly and politely.
Zhao Rong said with a smile: "Eh, Mrs. Xiao is polite to the last general, let's go, now the last general will also take advantage of Mrs. Xiao's prestige to find those people who don't know the current affairs to export their evil anger!" ”
Looking at it like this, Zhao Rong was not less angry when he went to the garrison camp to fight the autumn wind some time ago.
Xiao Yuexi didn't refute him, as if he acquiesced, turned over on the horse neatly, turned his head to Chengfeng and said: "You keep an eye on Lord Huang's mansion, take care of that eagle, don't let him do anything about the moth." His Royal Highness needs to recuperate, so as not to disturb him with irrelevant matters. ”
"Yes." Riding the wind, he waved his hand and watched Xiao Yuexi ride away.
Xiao Yuexi went to the garrison camp here, fighting the autumn wind is one thing, and finding fault is the main purpose. Some people, when they give him face, he doesn't take it, and he regrets it until someone tears the face. She has never been accustomed to this kind of person.
Mrs. Xiao arrived, and there was an uproar in the barracks. I had only heard that Mrs. Xiao was here and had been helping to settle the patient, but suddenly I saw a real person, and it felt like a dream.
The general of the Binzhou garrison camp is named Guo Pengda, he is a big old man with little culture, relying on the qualifications of Huang Pu, the commander of the garrison on the south bank of the Yellow River, who has been on the throne for many years, and also mixed with the position of a general, everyone knows that this person has no ink, no achievements, and the nature of greed is famous, but there is no war south of the Yellow River all the year round, and he is greedy and cautious, and he does not pose any threat to people.
"General! Shaw, Mrs. Shaw is here! A young soldier suddenly broke into the tent, and his throat was so frightened that the beautiful maid serving tea shook her hand, and the hot tea splashed on Guo Pengda's thin clothes.
"Oops!" The beautiful maid was so frightened that she quickly took off her handkerchief and wiped it for him. "Is the general alright?"
Guo Pengda waved it away impatiently, and he didn't move at all to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. The maid was so frightened that her eyes were red, and she silently stepped aside, Guo Pengda looked at the young soldier and shouted with a calm face: "What does it look like to be flustered?" Isn't that ...... Huh? Who do you say is coming? ”
"General, it's Mrs. Xiao who is here." The young soldier was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and as if he remembered something, he added: "Oh! and Zhao Rong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army. ”
Guo Pengda got up from the couch and exclaimed in surprise: "Mrs. Xiao? Ping Nanhou's sister? Is she really in Binzhou? "The news that came out of the relationship before, this general should be nonsense.
The young soldier nodded his head into a chicken-pecking style: "The person is outside the camp, saying that he is asking to see the general." ”
A dignified lady, the emperor is particularly fond of her, who do you want to see, do you need to ask for it?
Guo Pengda hurriedly got dressed, thought about it, put on his armor again, and said to the young soldier: "General Ben has been training all morning, understand?" ”
The young soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes!" The last general understands! As he spoke, he hurried out to give orders.
Guo Pengda glanced at the beautiful maid, frowned and said, "What are you doing there?" Get out of the way with your stuff and don't hang around here! ”
The maid replied "yes" aggrievedly, and quickly cleaned up the things that should not appear in the tent and left.
Guo Pengda breathed a sigh of relief, but he smelled the incense powder in the tent, it smelled good on weekdays, but it shouldn't have appeared at this time. He thought for a moment, lifted the curtain and hung it aside, expecting the smell to dissipate quickly, and walked briskly outside the camp.
Xiao Yuexi stood outside the camp under the sun of the autumn tiger, but she didn't see any anger at all, she was talking to Zhao Rong about something, when she saw Guo Pengda, she immediately put a modest smile on her face, and said politely: "This is General Guo, right?" Courteous. ”
She said it normally, but Guo Pengda almost tripped over herself, and the cold sweat came down, and she couldn't wait to get to her quickly.
"The last general will see Mrs. Xiao! was training in the army before, but he missed the distance, and he hoped that Mrs. Xiao would atone for her sins. Guo Pengda made a fairly standard salute, and he didn't even dare to raise his head when Zhao Rong saluted him.
Xiao Yuexi slightly hooked the corners of half of her mouth, cast a meaningful glance at him, and said, "General Guo, hurry up and excuse yourself." I've been in Binzhou for a few days, and it's a pity that I haven't been able to meet the soldiers in the Binzhou garrison camp. Now that I am about to return to Beijing, I will come over and have a look when I have nothing to do, General Guo should not be annoyed by me! ”
Guo Pengda hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare!" Belch...... Madame inside please. ”
Xiao Yuexi chuckled, and couldn't see what her mood was, so she swaggered into the camp with her hands up.
In areas where there is no war all year round, these soldiers say that they are good to deter the party, but if they are ugly, they are all a group of mixed emperor grain, no matter how they pretend, they can't pretend to be an orderly iron-blooded king.
pretended to be so deliberate, obviously someone had explained it in advance, who could explain this, it goes without saying. Xiao Yuexi's gaze fell on Guo Pengda who was leading the way in front of him, although Guo Pengda's back did not have long eyes, but he could also feel her eyes like a substance, and suddenly felt like a man's back, and his waist couldn't help but straighten up.
Xiao Yuexi suddenly said: "General Guo was training just now?" ”
Guo Pengda was startled by her sudden voice, turned his head and nodded a little puzzled: "Yes, Mrs. Xiao." ”
The smile on Xiao Yuexi's face did not fade, how could she be as cold as she stared at his back just now, she smiled harmlessly, and lightly threw a bag of explosives: "Then I won't be able to disturb." ”
Guo Pengda thought that she was leaving, although he didn't understand what she was going to do when she came and went, but he was still happy in his heart, and before he could say the sentence "Then there will be no more generals", he was choked back by Xiao Yuexi's next words.
"The general continues to train the troops, I have the right to visit."
Guo Pengda was choked by his unspoken words and almost fainted, his cheeks flushed, and it took a while before he held back a sentence: "...... Well, the last general heard that Mrs. Xiao was coming, and he had already let them disperse. ”
It's not for nothing that he's nervous, as a leader in the army who mixes the emperor's grain, he naturally enjoys it if he can, who has nothing to do to train the soldiers of Na Laoshzi in the sun? And not sick.
Xiao Yuexi said very "unexpectedly": "Then how can it be done?" I have heard my brother say that when there is no war, every military camp must practice for six hours, and if it is not a sin that I have come and interfered with the normal work and rest of the soldiers? ”
Guo Pengda just wanted to scold his mother when he heard it, but he didn't dare to scold it in the end, he just called people to gather all the soldiers to go to the training ground.
Zhao Rong followed all the way, looking at this situation, he laughed in his heart, that Guo Pengda relied on his big backing, and his official position was more or less important, and he didn't give them less color in those days, at that time, did he ever think that he also had today?
Xiao Yuexi said that she was visiting, but she was really watching from the sidelines. The soldiers brought tables and chairs, and temporarily built a cool shed for her, serving tea and fruits, and was courteous and very courteous. Xiao Yuexi didn't shirk it, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, and a playful smile appeared on her face.
She turned her head and said to Zhao Rong on the side: "The tea is good, Deputy Commander Zhao try it." ”
Zhao Rong didn't have the habit of drinking hot tea in winter and summer, of course, he couldn't tell the good from the bad, but he just looked at Xiao Yuexi meaningfully, and then looked at the food on the table, and suddenly understood something.
Now that the epidemic situation in Binzhou is serious, if you want to eat fresh melons and fruits, you have to travel long distances without sleep to transport them, and the price will naturally rise exponentially, plus Xiao Yuexi deliberately mentioned a word of tea...... It must be really good to let Mrs. Xiao praise a good sentence - a small Binzhou garrison camp, is the military budget so abundant?
Zhao Rong sneered in his heart. When he came to fight the autumn breeze a few days ago, he naturally didn't have this kind of treatment, and he asked for help, and he was anxious to think of all kinds of countermeasures that could be begged for people, so he couldn't see anything for a while, but now he followed Xiao Yuexi over, and when he looked at it again, he felt that something was wrong.
It seems that the news of collusion between mountain bandits and officials is not necessarily groundless.
Even a big old man like Zhao Rong can figure out the joint, Xiao Yuexi naturally won't miss it. It is said that this Guo Shen will be able to mix in today's position, and it is not entirely dependent on luck and backing, although he has no ink, but he is still slightly more careful than others. It's just that this time he only cares about patting the horse's ass, but he self-defeatingly shows his horse's feet.
Xiao Yuexi quietly visited the training mode that was like a family for a while, and Zhao Rong next to her was about to scold the street angrily, but she still didn't move, two pots of tea were added, and the melon seeds were knocked on half a plate, Xiao Yuexi threw the remaining handful of melon seeds back on the plate, got up and walked forward. Seeing this, Zhao Rong hurriedly got up and followed her towards the general who was pretending to be very serious.
Guo Pengda clumsily trained for a long time, the young soldiers were not doing well, his pampered body was a little unbearable, and when he saw Xiao Yuexi walking this way, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What do you have to say about Mrs. Xiao?" ”
