A pro-soldier was outside the tent and shouted loudly, "Master Hou, there is a large group of barbarians rushing to the camp!" ”

Li Laosi couldn't care about anything, he directly put on the longbow on his back, held the long knife in his hand, turned over and took people out to kill the enemy.

The court is chaotic, he is not familiar with and is not good at intrigue, but killing the enemy is a hand-holding!

Complicated things are handed over to smart people like Hou Ye.

Leave the matter of killing the enemy to him.

It just so happened that he went out to meet the grain transport team before, and he didn't meet a barbarian for more than ten days, and his long knife was already thirsty, so he used the blood of the barbarian to drink the knife tonight!

Mu Jue didn't know where to rush out, but he was also wearing armor, holding a spear, and ran quickly beside his father-in-law, and said loudly, "Fourth master, I'm here to help you." Let's see who killed the most barbarians tonight! ”

"Good boy, you're very bold, but you don't know what you're capable of?" Li Laosi laughed, "Let's go, see the real chapter on the battlefield!" ”

The two rushed out of the barracks one after the other and led the 500 vanguard army into the night......

The sky is too clear during the day, and the night is full of stars.

At this time, I didn't want to see the beacon fire in the world, and the stars closed their eyes one after another......

In less than half an hour, the barbarians lost the lives of a hundred and ten men, and then retreated.

Li Laosi and Mu Jue also brought their soldiers back to the camp, killed thirty-five in battle, and suffered more than 20 minor and serious injuries, even Li Laosi's arms were scratched.

When Jiang Cheng heard that, he personally sent the wound medicine to the main account, and said with a smile, "The county lord is careful, this time the grain cart carried five carts of medicinal materials, and the finished wound medicine also has more than 20 catties, which is enough for us to last for two months." ”

Li Laosi didn't care about such a small wound, after washing the blood stains in the basin, he was about to put down his sleeves and said, "Leave the wound medicine to the brothers, I don't diagnose and treat this little injury, and it will be good in three or five days." ”

"How can that be?" Jiang Cheng disagreed, and persuaded, "The county lord sent the medicine, most of them because he was worried about you and the Hou Ye. If you know that you don't want to use it, the county lord must be annoyed and anxious. ”

Li Laosi remembered that before he set out for the expedition, his daughter pulled him to tell him over and over again, and he also showed a smile.

Mu Jue hurriedly gave him the medicine, and finally wrapped his arm with a white cotton belt.

Li Laosi breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "My daughter is amazing, and the medicine she figured out is not so hot and painful." ”

Mu Jue said with a smile, "The fourth master is wrong, this is the prescription pondered by Doctor Zhang, and the county lord's medicine workshop is boiling." If Doctor Zhang knows, I'm afraid I'll blow my beard and stare at my eyes again. ”

"Haha," Li Laosi laughed, "Don't be afraid, Old Man Zhang is my daughter's master, and his prescription is my daughter's." He just knew, and I brought him two jars of good wine, and it was settled. ”

And they all laughed.

After a while, Li Laosi and Jiang Cheng were going down to rest.

Jiang Cheng called out to Mu Jue, "My tent is relatively large, so stay with me tonight?" ”

Mu Jue shook his head and responded, "I live here with the Hou Ye, and I can just throw a mat at the door to deal with it." If the barbarians attack at night again, I want to kill again. ”

"This kid is not big, but his murderous nature is not small!" Jiang Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't insist anymore, "Nacheng, you can sleep here." Wake up tomorrow morning and try the porridge in our camp! ”

After that, he left with Li Laosi.

Hou Ye went around to the curtain, took a wolf skin mattress and threw it to Mu Jue.

Mu Jue went directly into the curtain, spread the wolf skin mattress on the side of the bed, lay down, yawned big, and just when Hou Ye thought he was going to sleep, he suddenly opened his mouth.

"Master Hou, there is no good end for the master, in case that person ...... I can't accommodate you, what are you going to do? I think it's okay to lead the troops back to Jiangnan and let Tianwu change his master.

"At least you won't worry about anyone clicking your loved ones at the first order. The butcher knife is in your own hands, and you are truly assured, right? ”

Hou Ye stretched out his hand to lift the futon, lay down on the bed, and was silent for a long time before answering.

"As long as the Northern Expedition is successful and Jiangbei is recovered, I will fulfill my wish. That man wants to make a name for himself, he wants a name for the ages, or even my life, even if he takes it, it doesn't matter.

"If it weren't for the adventures of the year, I would have died on the road. I have been picking up the rest of my life, and I am not greedy.

"As for the Li family and other close relatives, if I don't die, they may be in danger, but if I die, they will be extremely safe, and even be favored.

"Tianwu has been slaughtered by the war for more than ten years, and I don't want to let Jiangnan bleed again because of me. One person's grievances or resentments are nothing compared to the tranquility of tens of millions of people. ”

Mu Jue's chest was sour when he heard this, "Before I came over, I mentioned these words to the county lord, and the county lord also said that you would not agree to kill back to Jiangnan. I'm still not convinced, but now it seems that the county lord still understands you. ”

Hou Ye laughed silently, thinking of his daughter thousands of miles away, he was very pleased.

"That girl is too smart to hide anything from her. After you go back, don't say too much, so that she doesn't have to worry. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but if there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best to return safely. I also want to marry her personally! ”

Mu Jue was silent, knowing that it was useless to persuade again.

"Master Hou, you are the only hero I have ever seen in my life."

Hou Ye turned over, his voice was very peaceful, and he responded, "The hero is admired by the world, but he is destined to be worthy of the world, but he has lived up to the expectations and concerns of his family." That's why I chose you to be the lord of the county.

"It's because you are a maverick, not bound by the world, and only the closest people in your eyes, and there is no righteousness. As a father, it is most reassuring to entrust your daughter to you. ”

Mu Jue choked up for a moment, and temporarily responded to this "praise".

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, at any time, the county lord is the first in my heart. Even you, if you encounter danger with the county lord, I will save the county lord first. ”

"Always remember what you said tonight, go to sleep."

Hou Ye didn't speak again, and the tent was quiet, only the occasional footsteps of the patrol could be heard outside......

No matter what happens in the dark night, joy and sorrow or joy, the sun will still rise.

When a new day comes, the poor are running around to make ends meet, and the rich are racking their brains to keep their wealth.

At another court meeting, the courtiers led by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu once again asked the emperor to appoint the crown prince early.

The emperor was still noncommittal, and asked with a smile, "I also know what Aiqing thinks." Today, on my desk, there are dozens of folded books. I will make a decision in the near future, so please wait quietly. ”

The official is an old fox, for some reason, looking at the emperor like this, he always feels bottomless.

So, he decisively changed his conversation and talked about the sacrifice and prayer for rain, but the Ministry of Rites still did not give up, and immediately followed and said, "Please also ask the emperor to set up the prince as soon as possible, and when the prince presides over the rain prayer ceremony, he will definitely be able to move the heavens and rain down." ”

The emperor was still smiling, and got up directly and went back to the apse, and the court meeting was over.

The official department Shangshu glanced at the Ministry of Rites coldly, didn't say anything, and took the lead to walk out.
