"It's not that this court is useless without you."

Admiral Han was silent, if there were generals available, how could the emperor who was quite jealous of Han Jiajun on the dragon chair use him.

"It's time for you to give way, you will die one day, you will die after this battle, you will open your eyes and see if these Huns can enter Kyoto." Han Ji walked to the table and picked up the tiger talisman, lowered his voice and said: "You are here, I am here, the descendants of the Han family are here, and the 100,000 Han family army is the thorn in the emperor's side, and they will not die well." ”

Admiral Han took a few heavy breaths, and after a long time, he sighed heavily, and said loosely: "You go, I have a plan in my heart." ”

"Really?" Han Ji was not at ease, he broke the palm he was holding, he took the tiger talisman and put it up, and comforted: "Keeping the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood, if you take care of the innocent people, you retreat, our Han family still has hope of returning to the battlefield again." If the emperor cuts down our entire family, and the mountains and rivers fall the next day, you and I are dead souls, and we are powerless if we have the heart. ”

At this time, the old general was willing to nod, he held the cold tiger talisman, and said, "I was blinded, you are a visionary." "If he had given up this tiger talisman as soon as possible, the boss would not have died in the calculations of the court.

With a powerful position and fame and wealth, there are few people who can easily give it up, Han Ji thought to himself that if it wasn't for the knife already on his neck, he would not be willing to take the tiger talisman and move out of Kyoto, becoming a fish and meat to be slaughtered, and he was even more ashamed of his ancestors and deviated from the family motto.

Han Ji left with his subordinates overnight, the northwest has already entered autumn, and it may snow in the next month, and the night breeze blowing from the mountain has already brought coolness.

When the first rays of morning light sprinkled on the desert, Han Ji turned off his horse and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the west, this land was sprinkled with the blood of his ancestors, buried the bones of his people, and also carried the glory of the Han family's army. Now, he's on the run.

The war drums sounded again, Han Ji glanced at it from a distance, climbed on his horse, grabbed the reins, and made a detour to the south.

The farther south he went, the hotter it became, and when he smelled the salty and wet sea breeze, it was already the beginning of October, and the cold wind was blowing in the northwest, and it was still hot here, and the old man who was rocking the boat was shirtless, and the children who were swimming in the river were tanned, and the water and grass by the river were green.

What he was like when he left, and still the same when he came back.

"It's coming!" The toothless kid shouted.

The agile figures under the water swayed, the water surface sounded one after another, and children of different sizes drilled out of the water with their upper bodies bare.

Haizhu held a fish and threw it ashore, turned around and dragged the tide flat, and when she raised her hand to wipe the water on her face, she saw a lean man standing on the bow of the boat.

Han Ji also saw her, his tense face relaxed, and he asked, "Have you come to the river to catch fish?" ”

"Bring a few small ones to dive and come to my house for dinner in the evening." Haizhu picked up the fish with its tail swinging and said, "This is our fish from Quang Nam, it tastes good." ”

"Okay."

Chapter 127: Vomiting Blood

"I've found it, and I've handed it over to the old butler."

"Found it?" Han Ji was a little surprised, "I really found it." ”

"If I hadn't gone back to my hometown to make wine for my third uncle and three aunts, I might not have found it in a few years." The sea was so wide that it was a matter of chance that it fell into that place.

"When my dad wins the battle, I'll just get together a good idea and send it over." Han Ji sighed, he glanced at Haizhu deeply, and said, "I will live in Guangnan for a long time in the future." ”

"Really?" Haizhu came out with a knife, and she smiled and said, "This is really a happy event, my backer is stable." ”

Han Ji looked at her and didn't speak, she didn't want to leave the beach, so he had been hiding his thoughts before, and when the dust settled, he also lived by the sea, and the thoughts that had been suppressed were about to move.

"It's just right that you're back, if you don't come back, Shen Sui will die in a hurry." Haizhu avoided his eyes and went into the kitchen with a knife to cut meat, and a figure blocked the door between the knife and the knife, and the light in the room dimmed.

Kazehei glanced up blankly, and he lit the lantern hanging on the wall with a branch that was burning with a flame.

"He met a fisherwoman who lived on the island, and wanted to marry her, but his mother did not agree, because she thought that the girl was too low, and did not like her temperament, and did not approve of his son's marriage. Shen Sui floated on the sea all day long, and he didn't dare to stay long when he passed by home, so he left overnight, and he never had the time to persuade his family. Haizhu lowered his eyes and said, "If he learns that you are back, he can run back overnight." ”

Han Ji glanced at her inquiringly, and the thought in his heart was suppressed again, he had to wait for the affairs of the family to be settled, and first show his mouth to his father and mother.

"Where is he now?" Han Ji asked.

"Passing by the dock this morning and heading east, it should be in Fucheng now." Haizhu raised her eyes sharply, "How did you get here?" ”

Feng Ping scratched his head, is he stupid or is his eldest sister stupid? He muttered, "Second Brother Han has already come in, and you have been talking for a long time." ”

Han Ji smiled, he understood what she meant, and said, "When I came back, I took the wrong way when the river forked, and I didn't expect this river to lead directly to Yongning. ”

The water in the pot was boiling, Haizhu opened the lid, threw the meat lump and green onion and ginger into it, and then scooped a spoonful of rice wine and poured it into it to remove the fish, she covered the pot and said, "Have a good meal tonight, and go back to Fucheng tomorrow." ”

"You are also with you, I will invite you to have dinner with Shen Sui."

Haizhu shook her head, she glanced out, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I found a swallow island on the sea, and I have to go out to sea to collect bird's nest every morning, I don't have time to eat with you, I'm going to get rich." ”

Thinking that he was a rich man with a lot of knowledge, Haizhu took out the half-box of bird's nest she had saved, "Look at it, is this kind of bird's nest worth it?" ”

The bird's nest in the shape of a flat boat is dry, the color is white and yellow, and the fine down in it has been cleaned, Han Ji took a look at it and handed it to her, saying, "The shape is very good, white is the most valuable." Where did you cut it? ”

"On a steep cliff in the sea, the interior is empty, and there are many swiftlets nesting." Haizhu also met by chance, she went to sea that day to find dolphins, the dolphins were not found, she passed by a steep cliff, a skua beat the petrel, she followed the past to see the excitement, close to her saw the petrel in and out of the cliff.

"This is the most valuable thing to take to Kyoto, and I'll sell it for you when I return to Beijing." Han Ji took the initiative to say.

Just waiting for him to say this, Haizhu slapped him hard, "It's interesting, go out and sit, don't stand in the kitchen to take up space, as soon as you come in, it seems that the kitchen is crowded." ”

The meat in the pot was half-cooked, Haizhu used chopsticks to insert the meat into cold water, and when she heard Dongzhu coming back, she poked her head out and asked, "Is the braised vegetables sold out?" ”

"Sold out." Dongzhu picked up the water on the table to drink, and shouted Han Ji in a comfortable voice, she jumped a few times and went into the kitchen, "Sister, is it useful for me?" ”

"Pry some abalone for me, I'll stew later."

"How many?"

"At least one person."

Haizhu bought six catties of pork belly, she thought that it would be troublesome to make braised pork, so she would simply make more if she did it once, stew a can of meat at night, steam a fish, fry crabs, and fry two plates of vegetarian dishes, which is almost enough to eat.

Wipe off the half-cooked meat lump, pour oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, slide the meat lump into the oil pan and fry it, the pork belly is too fatty, and the fat fried part is not greasy to eat.

There was a sound in the pot, and when the surface of the meat lump was fried crispy, Haizhu asked Fengping to go farther, she leaned back and scooped up the meat lump, and then scooped the hot oil into the crockpot spoonful by spoonful, and finally left a base oil and threw two pieces of sugar cubes to fry the sugar color, and then poured the meat lump into the pot to color.

"I smell the scent." Dongzhu came in with the cleaned abalone, stood by the pot and asked, "Do you pour it in?" ”

Haizhu nodded, followed by scooping two scoops of water and pouring them into the pot, the autumn oil was colored, the grass fruit fennel star anise cinnamon bay leaves were seasoned, and simmered until boiling, she tasted it, some of it was light, and then added a little salt, and then scooped it into the clay pot with the soup and meat.

The wind divided two sticks of wood to ignite the fire in the tandoor, and after a puff of green smoke, the fire burned vigorously and then Dongzhu took over.

When night fell, two kittens came back from looking for food outside, with bulging bellies and a fishy smell, and came in to meow around and say hello to everyone.

The fish and crab came out of the pot one after another, and Grandma Qi came over and saw that Haizhu was stir-frying choy sum, so she went to the next door to serve rice.

Han Ji deliberately behaved, and he followed out diligently, ignoring Grandma Qi's excuse, and came over with three bowls of rice in both hands.

"Major General?" The man at the door was stunned for a moment, then approached and saw the person clearly, "It's really true!" ”

Han Ji nodded and said, "I just want to have a meal with my friends tonight." ”

The man understood, he patted his mouth and turned back to his house.

"Why do I think the young general is interested in Haizhu?" After closing the door, he muttered to his daughter-in-law, "Whenever he comes to Yongning, he will go to Haizhu's house, and this is still served, and he probably doesn't know which way the kitchen door of his house opens." ”

"I heard that Haizhu also went to the bandits before, if the news is true, the major general can like her. Haizhu dares to break into the den of thieves, can go to sea to support her family, and will have good tea and rice, she looks pretty, and it is not strange to like her. The young woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the south, and said, "I always thought that the little sixth master of Shen Yu's official family liked Haizhu, and recently I heard from the maid in his house that he fell in love with a fisherwoman who lived on a desert island. ”

"Can the General's Mansion let her in?" The man didn't care about Shen Sui.

The woman stopped squeaking.

Eating in the courtyard opposite the door, but the dining table was not lively, and even a little quiet, and the shallow mind buried himself in eating, the stewed soft braised pork was mashed and mixed in the rice, and then poured a spoonful of thick soup, Qi Laosan and the three small ones couldn't raise their heads to eat.

Grandma Qi secretly glanced at Han Ji from time to time, and Han Ji pretended not to know when she noticed it, and occasionally distracted Feng Ping and Chao Ping with chopsticks and cabbage.

After the meal, Han Ji left with a lantern.

After he left, Haizhu and Dongzhu cleaned up the kitchen, the sisters locked the door and boiled water in the yard to wash their hair and bathe, everyone else went out, Chaoping and Fengping ate and supported, Qi Laosan took the old and the young out to go out for a walk on the street to eat.

"Why are there no stars? Tomorrow is going to change? Haizhu combed her hair, and when she looked up, she saw that the stars were blocked by dark clouds.

"It's October, and the rain should be cooler." Dongzhu moved a chair to sit next to Haizhu, and the sisters sat together to dry their hair.

The hair was half dry, the laughter of the tide resounded in the alley, and the eaters came back, and Haizhu opened the door to let them in.

"I heard people on the street say that it will rain tomorrow, Haizhu, you are not allowed to go to sea tomorrow." Grandma Qi said as soon as she entered the door.

"Okay, then I'll go to Fucheng with Han Ji to see what the clams carve out."

*

There were no official ships, and the merchant ships did not dare to travel on the sea in the rain, so Han Ji was forced to stay in Yongning for another three days, and only after the rain stopped taking the merchant ship back to Fucheng. On the way, they encountered a westbound official ship, and the official ship changed its route and followed the merchant ship to the nearby wharf to pick up people.

Haizhu followed Han Ji to board the official ship, although the rain stopped, but the sun did not show up, Grandma Qi did not allow her to go to sea, she simply followed Han Ji to Fucheng to play.

"Good brother, thank you for your hard work, I will give you a big gift on the day you get married." As soon as they met, Han Ji first said good things to Shen Sui, "Now that I'm back, you go and take care of your life's affairs, if you want to help, just ask." ”

Shen Sui punched him twice and said, "I got off the boat from here, you ordered the helmsman to sail back to Fucheng, I received news that someone from the imperial court had come yesterday evening, and I ran away before dawn this morning." ”

"Someone from the court?" Han Ji frowned, "Is there any news from the northwest during this time?" ”

"You'll have to ask your old butler, I don't know." Shen then walked under the boat and asked Haizhu if he would go back with him.

Haizhu glanced at Han Ji, she was a little uneasy, so she asked him to go first, "I'll come back in two days." ”

The official ship went east, and Han Ji was apprehensive along the way, and after arriving at the dock, he took Haizhu straight to Fucheng.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with the war in the northwest, you only came back from the northwest two days ago, if anything happens after you leave, the people in the court won't be able to come so quickly." Haejoo comforts him.

"Kyoto is in Chang'an, not far from the Northwest Battlefield, and it can be reached in five days. If my father had an accident after I had gone, he would have hurried his horse and then sailed through the canal, which would have been faster than my detour. Han Ji pinched his eyebrows, he knew in his heart that the only thing that could give him the will was something at home.

It was already dark when he entered the mansion, and before entering the general's mansion, he didn't let Haizhu enter the door, "You wait outside, if something happens, you can leave quickly, don't bother you." With that, he strode into the door.

"The Major General is back!" The porter shouted.

When the old butler heard this, he shouted in his heart that the Bodhisattva would bless him, and he turned and ran to the front yard, leaving a room full of people.

The eunuch who reported the news also followed, and the group adjusted their expressions, with a look of panic and sadness on their faces.

"Second young master, you hurry back to Kyoto, someone from the court said that the master was hit by an arrow in the chest, I'm afraid I am afraid that I will worry about my life." The old butler cried and shouted.

There was a bang in Han Ji's head, his chest was tight, swollen and painful, followed by a choke in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Young Master!"

"Major General—"

Haizhu heard the sound outside, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and heard someone inside shouting for the doctor, she couldn't help but run in, and when she entered the door, she saw Han Ji's chin was bloody, and the person was kneeling on the ground crookedly, his eyes were still open, but he was already dead.

……

"The young general's heart is too hot, and he is angry, the old man will give him a few injections and drink a few pairs of medicine, but after that, you should be careful, don't be too anxious and too dry."

Haizhu's messy heart calmed down, and she tiptoed to look at the person lying on the bed, this was the first time she had seen someone vomit blood without being injured.

A few long silver needles pierced into his chest, and the person with a purple face opened his eyes, Han Ji glanced at the people around the bed, looking at Haizhu's worried eyes, he turned his head and closed his eyes, and a line of tears fell into the pillow.

"I'm going back to Kyoto overnight." He gasped for breath.
