Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows: "Exactly." All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty have their own plans, but only my father is still loyal to the emperor. ”

Xianghua realized the seriousness of the matter and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, she said cautiously: "Who are the King of Zhongshun and the King of Yiyong, General Zhenguo has his own calculations in his heart, and we believe that General Zhao will definitely make a decision that is beneficial to the people of the world." ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "You believe in my father like this? ”

Xianghua nodded firmly: "The frontier is such a bitter and cold place, General Zhao can stick to it for ten years, it can be seen that he is a good general with a firm heart and compassion for the people, I naturally believe in him." ”

When Zhao Xu saw her say this, he told her a secret matter, telling her not to tell outsiders, only to know herself.

Although Xianghua was a little afraid, she still nodded.

"This time, my father fought hard with the Huns, I'm afraid that someone is a thief."

Xianghua was taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhao Xu said: "At that time, it was near the end of the year, and when my father saw that the situation was stable, he wanted to divide the soldiers into three groups, two teams of men and horses to guard, and one team of people and horses to go home for reunion, one team for ten days, and one month to rotate. ”

"The brothers are very happy to hear it, who doesn't want to go home in the moon? After the first team left, the border defense was weaker, but the Huns came to attack at that time. Thanks to the courage of the brothers, the Xiongnu resisted back, but the Xiongnu noticed that we were short of manpower, so they frequently attacked, and I took a letter overnight to the nearest city to transfer the garrison to replenish the troops. ”

Xianghua was frightened when she heard this, and muttered, "It's really too coincidental." What letters did you find? ”

Zhao Xu shook his head.

Later, Dad investigated the matter thoroughly, but found no evidence. There are only three lieutenant generals, two of whom were raised by their father, and only one was strongly recommended by the king of Zhongshun. ”

Xianghua took a cool breath.

"But what's in it for him to do that?"

Zhao Xu lowered his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "My father often thinks I'm stupid, and I can't think of why he is like this." ”

Although the Xiongnu were ambitious, but the strength and strength were not enough to fear, if the loyal Shun Wang Zhen colluded with it, the frontier would be in turmoil, but there was no big chaos with General Zhao's guard, but in this way, General Zhao had no time to take care of him......

Xianghua's eyes widened suddenly.

She looked at Zhao Xu in horror.

Zhao Xu was confused, but she felt that something was wrong when she looked at it like this.

Xianghua felt that what she thought was too scary, if this was the case, the king of Zhongshun would not only be fishing for a big fish with a long line, should he only owe the east wind now?

No, no, no, never.

The matter of Taro Niang has not been clarified, if it is really done by the King of Zhongshun, when he ascends to the throne, Taro will only have a dead end.

Xianghua thought about it for a while, and only after a while did she hear Zhao Xu ask her what she had come up with.

"What about the Righteous King? Did he make any moves? ”

Zhao Xu said: "The King of Volunteers has always been low-key, he hasn't seen any big moves, and he also has a lot of talented people under him, which is quite popular. ”

Xianghua nodded and said, "In this way, we can still check and balance each other." What I just thought of, General Zhao must have thought of it too, you just need to pay attention to the actions of the Zhongshun Palace, but don't make any big trouble. ”

Zhao Xu responded in a daze.

"What's the matter with your injury?" Xianghua asked.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "My injury is nothing, it's just a flesh injury." It's Zhao Lei, this time he blocked a knife for his father, and he needs to recuperate for a while. When I said he wanted to come here, he said he wanted to come along. ”

Xianghua smiled: "Is it because the mountains and rivers are beautiful here?" ”

Zhao Xu also smiled: "This is one of the reasons, and there is another. ”

"Huh?"

"He said there was an old man here."

Zhao Xu had something important to do, so he left the next day, and it was inconvenient to stay longer when he got married. Zhao Lei, as Zhao Xu said, stayed in Xiaocheng Villa to recuperate for a period of time.

Let's talk about the old man Zhao Lei said, Xianghua guessed for a long time and didn't guess, and finally Cheng Linchang told her.

"Brother Tiezhu's grandfather?" Xianghua said in shock, "General Zhao looks the same age as your father, how can he have a relationship with Brother Tiezhu's grandfather?" ”

Cheng Linchang smiled: "I was also wondering at the beginning. General Zhao said that when he joined the army, Grandpa Tiezhu was already a veteran. Once Grandpa Tiezhu helped him escape from death, the two became New Year's friends. He'd been to Qingshan Village before. ”

Xianghua then understood.

"Zhao Shen will be injured, let's be careful. By the way, what about others? ”

Cheng Linchang said: "I saw him go down the mountain just now, I think I came to talk to Tiezhu's grandfather." ”

Xianghua nodded, "The embankment is almost over, and we are finally going to plant peppers." ”

Cheng Linchang looked at these small seeds, and his heart was bottomless.

"Xianghua, can these seeds really grow?"

Xianghua smiled playfully: "Dad, Mr. Yan said that this can be grown, don't you still believe him?" ”

Cheng Linchang smiled honestly: "I believe it, of course I believe it!" When the peppers are planted, we will build a school in the village, so that not only Donglin Xiangmiao can go to school, but also other children in the village can study. ”

Xianghua nodded and said, "Okay, let's work hard!" ”

The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke.

This year's land is much more than last year's, Cheng Linchang is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but he is happy to do it, and taro and fragrant flowers are also sown together.

Yan Gou saw that the people in the village were busy with spring ploughing, so he simply started school two days later, and he also went to plant chili peppers with his family.

Donglin and Xiangmiao were willing to help, but Cheng Linchang was afraid that he would spoil the precious pepper seeds, so he only asked them to come and deliver water in the morning and afternoon.

Zhao Lei was also going to help, but Cheng Linchang and Xianghua said that they didn't agree to anything, so Zhao Lei could only stare at Donglin and Xiangmiao.

After a while, Zhao Lei got up and said mysteriously: "You two, do you want to learn martial arts?" ”

The four of them were busy until the sun went down, and they were only halfway done.

Xianghua straightened up and rubbed her waist, wiping the sweat on her head, and the rest could only continue tomorrow.

Cheng Linchang asked Yan Gou to call Yun Niang and go to the mountain to eat together, and the five of them arrived at the door of the house with a smile and a smile, only Dabao ran out to greet him with his tail wagging his tail.

Xianghua asked, "Dabao, what about Xiangmiao and Donglin?" ”

Dabao: "Wang! ”

Cheng Linchang smiled: "Dabao can't speak, why are you asking it?" Zuo is just playing at home, just go in and see it. ”

Xianghua heard Dabao say that Zhao Lei was teaching the two children to "learn".

What to learn?

Several people came to the courtyard until they saw Zhao Lei standing in the middle with his hands behind his back, Donglin and Xiangmiao were raising their heads and chests and stomachs, tightening their two fists around their waists, and steadily tying their horses.

Cheng Linchang was dumbfounded.

Yan Gou smiled and said, "I gave you a holiday, but I didn't expect you to have a master here." ”

Donglin didn't squint, but Xiangmiao couldn't hold on, and after moving two steps under his feet, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhao Lei said solemnly: "The mind is impetuous, and it needs to be sharpened." ”

Donglin insisted on a cup of tea again, and Zhao Lei said "receive" and praised him for "calming down and suffering hardship".

Cheng Linchang thanked Zhao Lei first, and then asked him why he remembered to teach the two children to learn kung fu.
