Shi'an took a pot of honey water and poured it to Huo Yunqian and Deputy General Shan Shao respectively.

Shi'an was reminded by the group of people in Erdaohe, thinking that he was sleeping in the cave, it was raining outside, and the cave was damp and cold, presumably the young master would not be able to sleep at night to see the distribution of the six tribes in Mobei Yutu, and he should indeed drink some sugar water to relieve fatigue.

It was originally scheduled that ten days later, the Huo family army would send a team to escort the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the six major tribes to negotiate the mutual market.

But after this evil storm, I don't know what the road will become.

There is a river here, I hope there will not be any disaster, once there is a disaster, it will lag behind.

Ten peace of mind pondered: Since the young master of his family became the general of Zhenbei, there are many princes in the capital who want to catch the pigtail of his young master, and he can't wait to grab the pigtail to win over the Huo family, and if he can't win over, he will take eye medicine in front of Jinshang.

After all, there are no other tricks available. The Huo family has been a princess for three consecutive generations, the male is never a princess, the daughter of the Huo family does not marry with the royal family, the Huo family and the royal family are very distinct monarchs and ministers, and the relationship is not bad and complicated.

It can be seen that the time is tight and the task is heavy, and the young master of his family may have to stay up late again.

The honey that Shi'an soaked for Huo Yunqian was gallic honey, which came from the Qinling generation.

He listened to Uncle Lai say that this honey is helpful for a man's lungs and kidneys to restore their essence.

And drinking more has a detoxification effect, and a small amount of small wounds on the body can be applied to reduce pain, and it is also excellent for wound healing. If it weren't for these effects, Uncle Lai would have almost brought them over impatiently, and asked him to persuade the young master to pay more attention to rest if he was injured.

Shi'an knew that Huo Yunqian had never liked sticky and sweet food, and his taste was only salty and spicy, and the sweet and sour dishes carefully cooked in the house never moved chopsticks, so he was afraid that he would not drink them, so he hurriedly persuaded:

"Young master, just think that this honey water is the sugar water sent by the people, they just don't dare to disturb you to thank you in front of you, the identity difference is too big, you don't even dare to mention it, otherwise you will definitely send two big bowls."

You don't believe what the people have sent, and you still don't drink it?

Ordinary people are reluctant to eat sugar a few times a year, but they give things they are reluctant to use to others. Is that just plain sugar water? This is the precious heart of those people.

Huo Yunqian glanced at Shi'an, there was a lot of nonsense, and when the deputy general Shan Shao lowered his head and smiled, he picked up the cup and drank it.

Shan Shao also drank it, not to mention, it tasted good, it was very moisturizing and his mouth was dry.

Seeing that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Shi'an took advantage of the opportunity to change the wick and learned Mrs. Xu's heart-wrenching words to Huo Yunqian.

It's basically not a word.

Shi'an wants to make the young master happy, it makes sense for the Huo family to be involved in this troubled water, even if it is thankless in the eyes of the so-called many "smart people in the court", at least the people know the good of the Huo family army and look forward to the Huo family army.

And Huo Jiajun is also for this.

Shi'an remembered that half a year ago, when the old lady asked the young master of his family to take over this hot potato, she said that no matter what happened in the court, even if she was disappointed and sad, she must guard the border, and she could not let people take advantage of the turmoil in the mutual market. Huo Jiajun only needs to remember that doing this well is higher than the criticism of the DPRK and China, and the original intention of your ancestor to create Huo Jiajun was never to protect Mingzhe. Otherwise, if the city gate is broken, it will be the people who will suffer, and no amount of regret will be able to recover it at that time.

Shan Shao suddenly asked Shi'an, "Erdaohe Village, surnamed Xu?"

"yes." Shi'an also told Mrs. Xu that she took her granddaughter out of the house, and that it was not common for them to form a team in their village. and Mrs. Xu, as an old woman, but she is a talker, and so on.

Shi'an even brought out Uncle Lai's comments on Xu Tianxin. It is said that some people wear gold and silver in the residential courtyard, but their behavior has an earthy smell, and they also smell like they are dressed, and they are the same inside. The Xu family took the little girl as an example, she was dressed in tattered clothes and her skin was black, and it was not surprising that she was a country girl at first glance.

This sounds a bit nonsense in Shi'an, the temperament of that thing is determined by three points and seven points by raising, which is the day after tomorrow, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are full of cultivation. A girl who struggles to be cultivated in a subsistence line farmhouse can be stained with the flavor of a noble girl.

As for what it means to be a girl who has seen the world, Shi'an feels that he has more right to speak, because the definition of this word has been personally defined by the young master of his family, who is both civil and military.

The young master of his family once said: People who have really seen the world, whether men or women, must see upward prosperity and downward suffering, and any difference between high and low can be accepted and comfortable. Never be complacent when you're up, and never be complacent when you're down.

However, at this time, Huo Yunqian didn't take Shi'an's words seriously, and he also felt that Uncle Lai was exaggerating.

After all, Uncle Lai once married the daughter of a five-grade petty official as his stepwife, and the woman before marrying her had a good reputation and showed charity in front of others. In the third year of the marriage, the woman gave birth to a son, and two years later, the eldest son left by Uncle Lai's original wife fell ill and died. accidentally learned that it was not a disease but a poison, and the woman took advantage of the fact that Uncle Lai was stationed in the military camp and was often not at home, and used a lot of means.

So far, Uncle Lai has been very prejudiced against the "noble girl in the city" based on his birth, and he looks at the countryside differently, thinking that a small vision has small benefits, simple and pure. That's why Uncle Lai is sick and has to be cured.

Shan Shao looked at Huo Yunqian and suddenly said, "Take your granddaughter out, then I know whose house it is, I remember that Xu Youtian once mentioned that he had a daughter."

When he just said in Shi'an that the group of people was Erdaohe Village, Shan Shao thought that the general should have a little impression of this village. Although the general did not read all the trivial matters of the secret report, the general's memory has always been very good, otherwise he would not have asked a special question.

And he'd seen the full report.

Just a few months ago, the secret guards were investigating the sale of illicit salt and the cultivation of private soldiers in collusion with foreign feudal clans, and the village of Erdaohe, including other villages involved, was reported for some connections.

In order not to miss the slightest bit, the general situation of each associated village will also be mentioned.

In Shan Shao's view, what can leave a little impression on people in Erdaohe Village is not Li Zheng, who made some "small mistakes", compared to those few big crimes, it is really not enough.

Rather, it was Xu Youtian who mentioned a few words.

I don't know if the general still has an impression of this person.

At that time, the sixteen-year-old general only entered the battlefield as a hussar general, and once carried the eldest prince to point the troops and lead people to explore the enemy's grain and grass situation.

Shan Shao accompanied him, and there was Xu Youtian in that team at that time.

At this time, Huo Yunqian also had an impression when he mentioned it through Shan Shao.

Huo Yunqian remembered that the leading soldier named Xu Youtian could distinguish the direction according to the sun and stars.

When climbing the cliff, he throws a rope job, like a very experienced veteran, a big turn, the rope head flies far and accurately like a meteor hammer, and will tie a flat knot single knot, which is faster than him.

He remembered that someone in the team said that the bridge deck was broken on the conscription road and the ferry was needed, and the ship broke down because Xu Youtian sealed the cabin and plugged the leakage, and Xu Youtian relied on these skills to save many people. also said that don't look at Xu Youtian's small official, that is, the identity of being conscripted into the army is slightly embarrassing, Xu Youtian has already had his own "Arita Army" not long after he came, the scale of dozens of people, everyone obeys Xu Youtian.

After that, a team of them ambushed the camp and dug traps, and were found to have gotten into the primeval forest to get rid of the tracking in hand-to-hand combat, and the one named Xu Youtian was even more eye-catching.

The proposed box-shaped method played the enemy army in the jungle like the palm of his hand.

If you want to say that you are relatively not so good at riding, it should be that you are limited by birth and never touch horses.

And it was precisely because of these that when he returned to the camp, he proposed to the commander General Yan that after the battle, he would take Xu Youtian and the "Arita Army" away.

At that time, he planned that after the battle, he would draw out some recruits from the Huo family and throw them to Xu Youtian for training along with the "Arita Army", so that he could pull up a new team.

Unfortunately, I later heard that this person died in battle.

However, after the battle, the "Arita Army" of dozens of people left with him, regardless of whether they were farmers and military service, and joined the Huo family's army.

Huo Yunqian remembered these past events, and it was a pity until now.

Bole and Maxima are not common.

"How did he die?"

As soon as Shan Shao heard it, he knew that the general had a deep impression of Xu Youtian:

"It was the death of the Nine Emperor Princes who went to the front line to privately open the city gate to meet the enemy, and made meritorious contributions and almost broke the city.

At the beginning, the Nine Emperors could not mobilize the subordinates of General Yan and the eldest prince

General, you were returning to the DPRK to send military rations at that time, and the Nine Emperors could only pull up those soldiers who were serving in the military to gather 20,000 to meet the enemy.

And those people, nine out of ten, more than half of the corpses were not recovered, or trampled into mud by horses, or not made whole. It is difficult to confirm the identity, and the main general, General Yan, was ordered by the present to take into account the face of the Nine Emperor Princes, and I heard that the list of the dead was not posted until two or three years ago."

The Nine Emperors are the sons of Concubine Shu, who was favored for a while.

Huo Yunqian laughed angrily, yes, it was that stupid boy who made his eldest brother lose his right leg. Although the city gates were guarded, the battle was extremely bad. He checked the smuggling salt just to avenge his brother, but he didn't expect to find out from the Nine Emperors to the Seventh Prince, who is usually inconspicuous and leaky.

"Did you give Xu Youtian's funeral money?"

The imperial court stipulated that if a soldier died in battle, he should be paid the full amount of three years, that is, 36 stone of rice. Then three to six buckets of grain per month were given for two years. If there is a son who inherits the position of a soldier, only funeral silver is given.

Shan Shao paused and said, "No, it's not that someone is greedy for ink, but the imperial court ordered a moratorium. After a long time, there is no more to say."

Shi'an was stupid to hear, his young master and Erdaohe still have this reason.

Is that Grandma Xu Xu Xu Youtian's mother? No wonder.

And what does it mean to be in arrears?

Ten peace of mind thought: Their Huo family soldiers died in battle, but there is a pension silver, I haven't heard that the imperial court dares to order arrears, and it is also snobbish to co-authorize whether to pay compensation or not?

Huo Yunqian didn't have the heart to look at the map again.

He stood in the cave with only a table and a bed beside him.

He asked himself again: This is the court he is loyal to, and dozens of men in the three generations of his Huo family, all generations have either died from the horse leather shroud or are seriously injured like his eldest brother and cannot get on the war horse. is still suspicious of all parties, and now he is taking advantage of the Huo family's heart for the people.

Is there still light?

The war dead will not be given a pension to comfort their families, but today there is a surplus of silver announced not long ago that it will not hesitate to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a Taoist temple.

If it weren't for the sick and weak prince begging until he fainted in the main hall and was unconscious, and some of the old ministers in the court did not hesitate to die and admonished, a general election would be held this year to let the show girls from all over the country enter Beijing.

If the eunuchs make trouble, I am afraid that it will not only be the daughters of the officials of the right age, but also the people will be disturbed to choose.

That's it, the Taoist temple still has to be built, and the elective is only postponed for two or three years.

Huo Yunqian's face was very ugly.

"General, there is one more thing about Xu Youtian."

"Say."

Shan Shao informed the secret report from the secret guard that Erdaohe Village was building a house on the side of the dense drum road. Listening to Shi'an say that he went out this time to buy again, it must have been a soldier of the Huo family who had received the favor of Xu Youtian back then, and gave inside information in advance to the market.

After all, at the beginning of the renovation of the General's Mansion, there was no candidate for the outside world at that time, so they sent many of their own people to mix in with the craftsmen to build the road to the market.

Shan Shao had good intentions, and wanted to take advantage of Huo Yunqian's memory of Xu Youtian's various things, and it was when this person was a pity that he would cross the road. Look at the book

"Hmm."
