Xia Muyao nodded, "He escaped from Dakang just now, and he is very clear about things like the situation in Dakang, and he also knows a few folk strangers, maybe you can ask him if he recognizes a good blacksmith or swordsmith?" ”

Huerhe looked down at Xia Muyao, with a meaningful smile on his face, "You little head, you think about big and small things when you see the sky?" ”

"I'm just thinking nonsense, and I can't help you much." Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe, "You have to deal with so many things every day, and I still add these things to you." ”

"What kind of mess is this, not to mention what you and my husband and wife say are not messy." Huerhe funnily flicked Xia Muyao's forehead.

Xia Muyao also smiled, and then leaned on Huerhe, with him, she was always at ease.

***

Huerhe went to see Zhen Yu the next day and had a long talk with Zhen Yu.

Huerhe was willing to take Zhen Yu in, let them settle in Yancheng, and fund them to make a small living, although Zhen Yu wanted Huerhe to organize them into the barracks, but Huerhe politely refused, "The Beihu military camp system is strict, and you escaped from Dakang's death, so live the present life in peace." ”

"I don't know how my brothers are, but I really don't want to be mediocre for a lifetime." Zhen Yu always remembers his national hatred and family hatred.

"Time has changed, Princess Yan has gradually let go of the fall of Southern Xia, what are your attachments? What's more, how can you just rely on dozens of people to shake the foundation of Dakang? Huerhe looked at Zhen Yu and calmly persuaded.

Zhen Yu couldn't help but be silent, and then sighed, "Zhen Yu is ashamed of his ancestors and failed to help them take revenge." ”

"How many dynasties have changed throughout the ages, have you ever seen the success of the restoration of the country? It can only be that the new dynasty removes the old dynasty, and Dakang has its own people who should meet the mandate of heaven to end it. Huerhe's gaze was far-reaching.

"If Beihu has the intention of going south, he is willing to help him." Zhen Yu solemnly hugged his fists.

"If you know a skilled blacksmith or swordsmith, you can introduce you to this king." Huerhe smiled faintly.

Zhen Yu thought about it carefully, "On the way we fled all the way to Yancheng, in a town, when passing by an iron shop, there was an old blacksmith who couldn't bear the sword I wore as the Qinglong Sword, there are only twelve in the world, it is a relic left by the ancestors, the blacksmith borrowed my sword to watch, and looked quite excited, we were in a hurry to leave, and said goodbye after a few greetings...... Now that I think about it, the blacksmith's demeanor is not like an ordinary person, could it be a hidden master? ”

"If you were to go back, would you still be able to find the old man?" Huerhe's heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, that town is only three or five days away from Yancheng." Zhen Yu nodded affirmatively.

"Then I'll bother you to make a trip, no matter what method you use, you will definitely bring this old man to Yancheng." Huerhe solemnly delivered. "In a while, the king will send someone to bring some silver, and if it is convenient, you can bring a few people to disguise yourself, and you will set off in a few days."

Zhen Yu nodded in response.

***

Three days later, Zhen Yu returned to Dakang with three righteous people.

The rest of the people, according to their respective wishes, also settled in Yancheng or outside the city. For two years, they secretly returned to the country in fear, but they were constantly strangled and suppressed, and their original ambitions had long been lost.

Now that they can find a stable place, they have all accepted their fate, and they only want to marry their daughter-in-law in the future and pass on their own bloodline.

Huerhe told Xia Muyao about the settlement method of these righteous soldiers, Xia Muyao stood in Tengchong Courtyard and looked into the distance, "Maybe this is their best destination, forget the national hatred and family hatred, and live again." ”

Huerhe turned his head to look at Xia Muyao, her expression was solemn as never before, when it came to national hatred and family hatred, no one felt as deep as her, she was so young, it was not easy to see all this through.

Thinking about it, Huerhe reached out to hold Xia Muyao's little hand and smiled deeply at her.

Xia Muyao also smiled and said, "The reason why I can be so relieved is because I met you, and your love for me has dissolved most of my hatred." ”

"Mostly?" Huerhe then asked.

"Zhao Yuanting kidnapped our children, separated us from the two places, and suffered the pain of losing our children, I hate him." There was a hint of coldness in Xia Muyao's eyes.

This is the first time that Xia Muyao has confessed in front of Huerhe that she lost Gu'er's heart, if she still had such an inexplicable gratitude to Zhao Yuanting before, now she is half gone.

"All the sins he has committed will be repaid in the future." Huerhe secretly gritted his teeth.

Xia Muyao didn't speak, still looking into the distance.

The battle between Beihu and Dakang will be fought sooner or later. However, both sides have their own shortcomings, but they are secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.

The king of Beihu is also making friends with neighboring countries in order to win over his power, and is currently preparing to make peace with his daughter to the Mongolian state.

Harmony is naturally a delaying tactic, even if Mongolia can't borrow troops to attack Dakang together, at least when Beihu and Dakang are fighting, there will be no surprise attack from behind.

Of course, the king of Beihu did not fully trust the Mongolian state, and it was the border with the Mongolian state that Ha Guang guarded, even if the Beihu and Dakang fought in the future, the border between Beihu and the Mongolian state would still be strictly defended.

Fortunately, Mongolia's current materials are much scarcer than those in Beihu, and it is not enough to worry for a while.

But there are two sides to everything, and it is precisely because of the lack of materials in Mongolia that they covet the rich territories of neighboring countries, and this is also true for Dakang.

Huerhe and the king of Beihu exchanged frequent secret letters and exchanged news every day, and the current calm was the dawn before the war.

Xia Muyao naturally knew these stakes, and when she saw Huerhe pondering every day, she also quieted down, only hating herself for knowing very little about military law, otherwise she could also help Huerhe share her worries.

After that, when Xia Muyao had nothing to do during the day, she would go to Huerhe's study to read the military books.

The soldier's book was hard to understand, Xia Muyao looked like chewing wax, and one afternoon she fell asleep on the desk.

When Huerhe came back and saw her, he walked to her side gently, and saw that she was reading his military book, and couldn't help but have a loving smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he picked her up and prepared to lie down on the soft floor of the study.

Unexpectedly, Xia Muyao woke up, her little face still had a red mark pressed out, and when she saw that it was Huerhe, she smiled slightly in confusion, "You're back." ”

Huerhe answered, sat on the couch, wrapped Xia Muyao in his arms, and then asked, "Are you reading the military book?" Do you understand? ”

"I don't know anything, it's just too boring, so I fell asleep." Xia Muyao was crooked on Huerhe, he had been in the barracks for a day, and there was a slight smell of sweat on his body.

"Boring to watch? Why would you want to read this kind of military book? Huerhe smiled.

"I think that when I accompany you on the expedition in the future, I may be able to help you a little bit." Xia Muyao said truthfully.

Seeing that his little wife had such far-reaching vision, Huerhe smiled with relief, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this, after so many years, are the military advisors and adjutant generals I have trained not to be able to set up?" ”

"They are them, and I don't want to go with you on the expedition without understanding anything and acting like a fool." Xia Muyao still insisted on her own ideas.

"Okay, well, whatever you want," Huerhe immediately gave in, and instructed: "It's just that it's autumn now, and you must not sleep on the table in the future, lest you catch a cold, your little body is already weak, what if you are sick." ”

Xia Muyao nodded immediately, and her well-behaved appearance made Huerhe couldn't help but kiss her gently.

***

In the blink of an eye, half a moon has passed, and the autumn mood is stronger.

The trees in the feudal king's mansion began to turn slightly yellow, and standing in Tengchong Courtyard on a high place, looking down at the layers of eyes, it was very beautiful.

Zhen Yu left for half a month, but still did not return, and Huerhe knew that there must be something wrong with it.

At that time, gradually approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace of the feudal prince began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. People are looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huerhe will give everyone some silver.

has already begun to speak, although he can't speak in a sentence, but he can express his thoughts in one sentence, for example, if he wants to say that Xia Muyao is good-looking, he will say: "Grandma, drifting." ”

Whenever this happens, Huerhe will laugh with Xia Muyao. What he brought to them was incomparable happiness.

Zhen Yu came back three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he brought the old blacksmith back, and he tied the blacksmith back. It turned out that Zhen Yu had lived in the town for seven or eight days and had not persuaded the old blacksmith to follow him to Yancheng, so he had no choice but to tie him up and leave the town at night.

Huerhe didn't expect such a result, but it was too late to show favor at this time, and the old blacksmith was hard-boned and didn't care about Huerhe at all.

Such a person, Huerhe understood, it was not possible to fight hard, so he had to lock the old blacksmith in the big tent of the military camp first.

Huerhe went to the big tent and saw the old blacksmith, and when the old blacksmith saw Huerhe, he was not afraid at all, but snorted disdainfully.

Huerhe smiled faintly, then turned and walked out of the big tent.

"How did you tie people up?" Out of the big tent, Huerhe asked Zhen Yudao in a low voice.

"I can't help it, this old man is too stubborn, I've been close to him for several days, but as soon as I heard that I was going to help Beihu forge a sword, even if I turned my face, if I hadn't tied him up, he wouldn't have come." Zhen Yu said helplessly.

"But how can he teach us how to forge swords?" Huerhe sighed and said, "I've worked hard for you these days, go back and rest." Huerhe has no intention of blaming Zhen Yu for not paying attention to his methods, after all, he also wants to do his errands well.

Zhen Yu retreated, and Huerhe asked Xiaoda to go down again, and he must entertain this old man with good wine and food.
