"How do you say this, could it be that the foal was sold to Suncheonfu and detained by the population?"

The general entered the house as he spoke, and He Xiong followed, helping the general remove his armor while saying, "The general guessed wrong, the foal didn't leave our north, but in Tai'an County." But now that the people who have foals, you will be surprised to hear it.

"Back then, in the seventh battalion that followed the old general to fight on the battlefield and made great achievements, only one wounded soldier survived, the general should still remember, right?"

"Remember!" The general raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of abruptness in his eyes.

He is burly and tall, and the severe cold and hardship of the border for many years have created the perseverance and coldness between his eyebrows.

But when I thought of the seventh battalion, I couldn't help but add a little pity and regret to my expression.

It was once the strongest and most admirable battalion of soldiers and horses in the border army, led by his father, who was also a deceased veteran general, and was invincible, killing all the enemies outside the border pass.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful the soldiers are, they can't stand those scheming and calculations, and finally die of hatred.

But their sacrifice kept the border pass from being breached, and ensured the smooth exchange of the old and new dynasties.

Although the emperor of the new dynasty was as jealous as ever of the border army and hated having to pay food, he was afraid that the border army would rebel and take away his country again.

As a result, the border army suffered from the enemy on its back, and had to resist the harassment from time to time outside the border gates, and also guard against all kinds of difficulties and contempt of the court.

But all the generals did not regret it, defending their families and defending the country, their endurance and humiliation were burdened, in exchange for the peace of the Great Wei, especially the Northland!

"If I'm not mistaken, the only wounded soldier who survived should be surnamed Tai. When he was still in the army, in addition to following the old generals, his favorite thing was to take care of the horses. The old general's ink cloud was handed over to him to take care of, and the old general often brushed the ink cloud with him and drank water. ”

He Xiong nodded and said with a smile, "I remember when the general was fifteen years old, he wanted to steal a horse and go out to play, and he was almost stuck in the wall by the horse, and it was Uncle Tai who pulled the general's ......."

"Ahem!" The general coughed dryly twice, preventing the guard, who had grown up together since childhood, from "speaking freely".

He Xiong laughed dryly and hurried to pour tea.

After both of them sat down for a while, He Xiong told what had happened, and at the end he said, "It's really a coincidence, Xu is foal left something in his blood, so that when he was dying, he found Uncle Tai and was rescued and left a life."

"Uncle Tai's whole family is very good to the foal, and he named it Hurricane. Especially the children in Uncle Tai's family are very close to the wind.

"The wind also looks very spiritual, worried that I will take it away, and even keeps rolling its eyes and spitting at me!"

The general couldn't help but laugh and replied curiously, "Really? That's really rare, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must go and see this foal! ”

It was rare for He Xiong to be so happy to see the general, after all, there were too many things that the general needed to bother with for the sake of the entire border fortress on weekdays.

So, he tried to say more, so that the general's joy would last for a while.

"If the general has the opportunity to go to the Tai family, he must not only care about the wind, but also the little granddaughter of the Tai family. Obviously a peasant girl, but this little girl looks like a little fairy child under the Guanyin seat, Yuxue is cute, and very smart and bold, hugging my neck and not letting go, must sit in my arms, it's so cute!

According to Uncle Tai's family and the people in the village, the child was stupid until he was three years old, and suddenly came to his senses one day when he met, and since then everything has been going smoothly at home, and life is prosperous. Uncle Tai's family and the people in the village all benefited from it and spoiled the child. Fortunately, this child is extremely intelligent and not arrogant. ”

Halfway through speaking, he slapped the table and said in surprise, "Oops, we ran into one more incident on the way!"

When I walked to the south of the mountain pass, the big stone at the top of the mountain suddenly rolled down, and the mountain pass was half sealed! If it weren't for my stomachache, I stopped the team before crossing the pass and rested for a while, otherwise we would all have been stoned to death!

"Maybe it's because of the blessing of the little girl of the Tai family, so I can save the day. Next time I see the little girl, I'm going to buy her more good things! ”

The general was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't care in his heart, he had been licking blood from the knife for many years, and he had to earn his life by himself, which had already made him immune to ghosts and gods.

After all, burning incense and begging for Buddha is easy to use, and tens of thousands of border troops don't have to fight the sky and the enemy in the north every year.

But he was not disappointed, and echoed a few words with a smile.

As he gets older and has a high position, there are not many people around him who are willing to laugh like He Xiong......

He Xiong said happily, and when he saw that the wrinkles between the general's brows were opened, he stopped talking.

"Uncle Tai's family is really good to Hurricane, and Hurricane is reluctant to leave, so I will make the decision to leave it for the time being. Just wait for the general to come up with an idea, but it really can't be done, I'll go again. ”

The general took a sip of tea, looked down and thought about it, but asked.

"You say, is it possible that the thing that the old general hid was entrusted to the Tai family?"

He Xiong paused for a moment, subconsciously turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one in the house, and there were guards outside, so it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop.

He lowered his voice and replied, "I don't think there should be!" General, you don't know, Uncle Tai's family had an extremely difficult life before, and I heard that Aunt Tai died of illness and starvation. Moreover, one of Uncle Tai's grandsons has a very high talent for reading, but because of his injured leg, he has been lame for several years without money to treat him, and he has been kept at home.

"If that thing is in Uncle Tai's hands, how can he watch his old wife and children and grandchildren suffer without thinking about it?

"Now that the Tai family has built a new house and bought a field, I heard that the little girl of the Tai family was abducted, and the Tai family sacrificed their lives to fight with the people of the rivers and lakes, and rescued a rich boy together.

"The rich family sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, and in order to avoid the jealousy and concern of outsiders, the Tai family hurriedly spent them, and the food was much better. Otherwise, the Tai family is now ...... I can't get enough to eat! ”

The general sighed when he heard this, and the glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished.

"That's it, I'm afraid that the news of that thing is chasing after the wind, and it may not be real. Even if it exists, with the temper of an old general, it must be properly arranged, how can it be entrusted to a wounded soldier?

"It's because I'm in a hurry, always thinking about finding that thing, so that the whole army doesn't have to struggle like this, at least I don't have to endure freezing and hunger, and I have to go into battle to kill the enemy!"

He Xiong didn't respond, and he really didn't know what to say, after all, it was twenty years old.

However, after the general finished speaking, he cheered up again, "Spring will start soon, reclaim more wasteland and grow more grain, and solve the matter of military rations first, and the power that can be restrained by the court will be much smaller." ”

After that, he instructed again, "As for the Tai family, there is still less contact." In the future, when the wind grows up, there is a suitable mare to send it over, and another foal will be brought back.

"As for that thing, don't mention another word. After all, we weren't the only ones who cared about it, and those people were convinced that it must exist.

"Don't let those people know about the Tai family, and bring trouble to the Tai family, after all, there is only such a veteran left in the seventh battalion of the old general."
