When Yinzhi and Nian Qianyao came to the fence of the imperial camp with a small group of soldiers, they happened to see Ananda, the first-class guard beside Kangxi, walking outside the camp gate, and it seemed to be the household squire beside him. Reading a book// It's just that at this time, Engese has completely lost the spirit of Fang Cai, and is completely the color of a gray face, and he also has a new gown on his body. Yin saw it and laughed secretly, but Nian Qianyao was confused, so he whispered to Yin? "Master, this is really strange." Why did Lord En suddenly change the costume of the big-headed soldier? Looking at his depressed face, it didn't look like he was being rewarded, but like he was being punished, what was going on?" After saying that, he nodded to Ananda, who was greeting him, and walked straight to Kangxi's imperial tent.

Li Dequan saw Yin, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Fourth elder brother, the emperor is angry at this time, you have to pay attention to this." Yin smiled and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness." Maybe Huang Ama listened to Bi Yin? The report here, Longyan Dayue may not be. Then, after carefully tidying up his clothes, he signed up.

Sure enough, Kangxi sat beside the desk with a solemn face. Yin and Nian Qianyao both knelt down to say goodbye, and Kangxi didn't shout, but said, "Are you here to explain the errand?" There was some unhappiness in his voice.

But he didn't care at all and replied, "Yes." Erchen and Nian Qianyao were ordered to open a well to get water. Now a sweet water well has been dug and the emperor has come to pay the decree. ”

Kangxi was even more dissatisfied, and his voice became a little more stern, and said: "The three of you and the others are doing the same errand, and Enge Seshi has already come to me here to invite merit." But I dismissed him from his post and used him as a pawn to serve in the front battalion. Do you know why?"

Yin? Still not in a hurry, he said: "Erchen does not dare to speculate on the holy will. ”

Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "My will, whether it can be paid or not, depends on how well you and the others do." If the errand is not done well, this Engase is a ready-made example for the two of you. Tell me first, how many soldiers can you drink from this dug well?"

As soon as these words came out, Nian Qianyao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Yin's foresight. At this time, he raised his head and said loudly: "After careful measurement by Erchen and Nian Qianyao, this well is more than three feet wide and five feet deep. Judging from the current water situation, it can drink about 300 people. He had one hundred and fifty sergeants at his side, and ordered them to build two more cisterns, one for men and one for animals. In this way, it can ensure the needs of a battalion of people. In addition, because the water source in the Gobi is very precious, the retainers thought that the emperor Amak issued an order that all camps should be centered in the well when camping, and sent officers and soldiers to guard them, so as not to pollute them, and the rear soldiers took over and handed them over. ”

Kangxi already had a smile on his face when he heard it, and at this moment, his face was full of spring breeze, and he said, "Okay! This is what it looks like to be on a serious errand." Engese, a minion, only knows how to ask for merit and rewards, but he doesn't really do things. Am I the master who can be bullied?" Then, the conversation changed and said, "Fourth elder brother, you have done a good job on this errand, and Nian Qianyao is also very thoughtful. I have you and others to help me run the business, so I can feel a lot more at ease. ”

Nian Qianyao was extremely excited after hearing this, and said with Yin? while thanking him: "The emperor is so committed, the slave is ashamed." The slave is willing to die for the emperor. ”

Kangxi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You are young, and there will be more opportunities to serve me in the future, so you can continue to run errands with the fourth elder brother." ”

The two of them resigned at this time. As soon as he came out of the account, Nian Qianyao was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Kangxi, so he only whispered: "Master, the emperor praised us just now." The minion felt like a dream. ”

Yin? looked at Nian Qianyao's excited appearance, and said with a smile: "Lianggong is just a little bit out of it? If you do things badly, when the time comes, the emperor may even reward you with a top!"

Nian Qianyao bowed to the ground and said, "Master, just look at it, the slave will definitely not embarrass the master." The master has a charter, and the slave does not disobey. ”

At this moment, Yin?, with a slight smile, said, "That's good." We estimate that we will be a little busier in the next two days. Since we are in charge of the chores in the camp, you and I need to be more detailed. From tomorrow onwards, we will get up at five drums and watch the camels come out, and it is necessary to ensure that all the sergeants will be able to obtain their luggage no more than an hour after they have been stationed. The sergeants can only fight hard when they are rested. Don't look at these as trivial things, since ancient times, success or failure depends on the details. You also saw it today, as long as this business is properly handled, we will be a great achievement!" Nian Qianyao was naturally full of promises.

After marching for more than ten days, the army came to the place of Rolling Nuoer, and before it could be encamped, the sky suddenly changed, and for a time the wind was fierce, and the rain and snow were combined. Yin didn't have time to change into rain clothes, so he hurriedly shuttled between the crowd and coordinated the soldiers to set up camp. But after a while, the whole body was soaked. At this time, it was only the early spring, and the cold in Mobei was quite heavy, and the robe was all wet, and the body was indescribably cold and uncomfortable. After working for nearly an hour, I was slightly relieved to see that all the camps had settled down. I was about to stretch my hands and feet, which were already a little numb from the cold, but a big coat was draped on his back. Yin? also said that it was Nian Qianyao who was courteous, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a bright worker, I just thought of serving at this time, and the daylilies are cold!" Unexpectedly, he turned his head, but what he saw was Kangxi's clear face, and he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked Xia An to go, and said: "Huang Ama atoned for his sins, and the sons didn't know that Huang Ama was coming. ”

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said with slight disgust: "How old are you, you can't take care of yourself." How could it have rained so hard that it had been drenched?" he said, taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve and lovingly wiping the raindrops hanging from Yin's face.

Kangxi rarely expressed his father's love as much as this, not only was Yin a little stunned, but even Li Dequan, who was driving next to him, and the guards Wu Dan and Mu Zixi were also very surprised. Kangxi looked at everyone, smiled to himself, and said, "I feel sorry for my son." Why, can't it be done?" Yin? I was very moved, but I didn't know what to say, I just wanted to let the warmth of this moment stay for a while.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and stronger, it became like a splash, Li Dequan stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, the slave sees that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the master's dragon body is important, so let's go back to the imperial tent to avoid it." Kangxi waved his hand and looked at Yin?, with an undoubted taste in his tone: "Since we are in the same camp, I want to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers." But if there is a soldier who does not enter the account, I will not sleep, but if there is a soldier who has not eaten, I will not eat. ”

Kangxi and Yin stood in the rain for a full hour, and only after all the soldiers had finished cooking did they return to the imperial tent together.
