The three of them had lunch, and sat down for almost an hour, before someone came to summon them.

Master Tian got up, and Yan Lao Er helped him tidy up his official uniform, and watched him leave with others.

Only father and daughter were left in the house.

Without the teacher watching from the side, Yan Lao Er relaxed all of a sudden, and there was no way to sit, Yan Yu even jumped off the chair, tilted his head and stretched out his legs to move.

sighed: "It's not easy to see the prince, you have to wait for such a long time."

Shigong must have calculated it, if we come after eating, we will have to wait, it is better to come earlier, and we can have a mixed meal. ”

Yan Lao Er couldn't cry or laugh: "Can your master still be like you, just worried about eating?" ”

Yan Yu smiled and walked around the room.

"This painting looks very good, it's very valuable, and this incense burner, dad, look at it, it's antique."

Yan Lao Er also leaned over and couldn't help nodding: "Look good, the things that can be placed in the palace are all the handiwork of some famous artist, let's stay away, don't touch it." ”

Yan Yushen thought so, behind the back of the father and daughter's hands, they looked at the same thing, and every time they looked at the same, they had to comment on two sentences.

If you don't listen to the content and just look at the posture, it's quite bluffing, thinking that this big and small is insightful......

The middle-aged man standing in a hidden corner outside the window sneered.

He slowly paced to the front, coughing lightly in front of the door, and the two people in the room quickly turned their heads to look.

"The contemptible person's surname is Zheng, and he is the internal manager of the palace."

Steward Zheng was very polite and thoughtful, asked the two of them if they had a good lunch, and asked people to give fruit and add new tea, saying that the prince and Lord Tian didn't know how long to chat, and asked the two to wait here with a kind attitude, don't worry.

learned that Yan Lao Er was a protégé of Master Tian, and his closeness increased by three points.

Steward Zheng and Yan Lao Er, one deliberately provoked the conversation, and the other never cold, chatting very hotly.

Yan Yu finished nibbling plums and pears next to him, and then nibbled on plums after nibbling pears.

She could see that this steward Zheng was mainly asking about her master and father.

It's just a very casual chat, and there is no point, it's all very homely.

But when you put it all together, it's interesting.

It seems that he deliberately inquired about the details of his father and father.

This steward Zheng asked very skillfully, and I don't know if my father is conscious.

But there's nothing you can't say, and Dad is honestly right.

Steward Zheng said that there was still something to do, and he regretted that he couldn't talk about it anymore.

After sending people away, Yan Lao Er poured several cups of tea in a row.

Pick up the pears and eat them.

"This Zheng steward seems to have come to find out what I do." Yan Lao Er looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice while eating, and said with a lake.

Who is Yan Yu, her father's kiss Dabao, she knows her father too well, not to mention that she just speaks with a lake, just humming, she can guess what he wants to say.

"It doesn't make sense." Yan Yu said this.

Yan Lao Er nodded heavily.

It just doesn't make sense.

What kind of person is he on the card, it is true that he was received by Master Tian, but what kind of place is this, it is the British Prince's Mansion, what is the internal steward, and he is the chief housekeeper of the British Prince's Inner Mansion.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, this Zheng steward is the teacher in person, and he has to be polite, why are people chatting with you so hot?

Just rely on you as a white ding, no fame?

Or do you really care about Master Tian and ask about your family affairs by the way?

Yan Lao Er didn't have a bag on his head, and he didn't feel that his head was full of horns and was surprisingly bubbling.

Then why did this Zheng Steward come?

What did he do to attract people?

There is nothing else to do but buy food.

The father and daughter didn't look at anyone, they didn't speak for a long time, they just ate and ate.

But I know in my heart that the person I found at this time is not right.

"I can't imagine it." Yan Lao Er also learned from her daughter, and spoke briefly.

But he knew that his daughter could understand.

Yan Yu snorted. "What to do?"

Obviously, there are people from the royal palace here.

"What should I do?" Yan Lao Er said.

What's wrong with the palace, and the people who have the palace won't buy food?

That can't be!

Yan Laoer: "No wonder your master wants to lift the table." ”

Yan Yu thought of Shigong's words in the carriage.

Nodding.

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't dare." Yan Yu was referring to the head of the Bao Ban that he had seen in the government before.

The fast shift is responsible for collecting and paying the grain tax, and it is the easiest to do it, and the barn must be a raccoon dog, and it is an important place, but it is not a key person.

Dad was right to find the head of the fast class.

But he's certainly not the one who can call the shots.

This is the capital city, and this kind of business can't be done without anyone's cover.

I thought it was the master of the government......

Unexpectedly, it was the internal steward of the British Prince's Mansion who came forward.

"When he came out, did he think we were stupid?" Yan Lao Er walked around the house, making sure that there was no one nearby, and couldn't help but ask his daughter.

】

Yan Yu shook his head and said, "Probably ...... Fearless? ”

The father and daughter instantly thought of the caisson in the river, not to mention, the style is quite similar.

……

"Lord Tian didn't come here to report the incident, so why did he come?" The English king's language is gentle.

Tian Daren's expression was serious, and he first reported the loss of population and money in the city and countryside, and then changed his words: "...... Lord Wang, the lower officials have been repairing the border defense for three years, and they thought they could keep Beirong out, but they didn't want to, but it was the delusion of the lower officials!

Beirong is cunning, crossing the border mountains and forests, deceiving the city gate, blocking the main road between Huju and Yongning and Gufeng, if it is not for the timely rescue of Fucheng and Gufeng, the people of Huju will not escape this difficulty.

After this battle, the people suffered, and the lower officials also felt a lot.

Although the villages and townships fought hard to resist the enemy, one of them was not numerous, the second was insufficient force, and the third was unavoidable.

Once Beirong attacks again, the border defense will not be able to resist, and the events of the day before yesterday will only be repeated again.

Xia Guan, I want to ask the village warriors to be equipped with swords, build towers in each village to warn the enemy, and dig cellars to hide.

Feet can not escape the horse's pursuit, can gather and hide in the tower, high can shoot, low can block, as long as you hold this fortress place, you can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

For example, Xiao'an Village, without losing a person, standing in the tower to kill the enemy, reinforcements arrived, and the thieves were destroyed.

The lower officials thought that this law should be widely spread in the border cities.

Erect a tower, practice swords and bows, and work together in Guanzhou to guard my territory! ”

The King smiled.

"Lord Tian thinks that Xiao'an Village's method is good, and he wants to concoct it in the same way, but you are in the emptiness of the yaku, where did you get the money to repair the tower?

Speaking of the knife and bow, I already know that the bamboo crossbow is cheap, the range is limited and the power is slightly weaker, Xiao'an Village can shoot Beirong because it is defenseless, but after this battle, they should also have a long memory, and they will definitely think about countermeasures.

Beirong has been guilty for many years, and has repeatedly succeeded, it is not easy to look down on them, and they will only suffer greater losses, this said, Tian Daren should be deeply touched, three years of trimming, and the success fell short......"

The tone of the British king has never changed, it is still kind, but the words are determined, pointing directly at the person opposite.

Master Tian heard the dissatisfaction of the prince, and kowtowed in a deep voice: "It's the incompetence of the lower officials, but the thief's heart will not die for a day, and I will be unstable for a day when I am a tiger, and the lower officials will ...... I still want to try again, and ask the prince for permission. ”
