The compound was empty, and some damp corners were dripping with water from time to time. Mu Xiao stood outside the house, raised his hand and hesitated before taking it back.

Turned around and sat down against the stone pillar, perhaps because he hadn't slept all night, when sleepiness surged in. The two guards at the door saw Mu Xiao sleeping inside, and made gestures and trembled to guard the door, for fear of making too much movement.

When the sun was shining three poles, the door of the house was pulled open from the inside, and Taigayi stepped out in small steps, and when she saw Mu Xiao sleeping in the doorway, she closed her mouth that she was yawning. Looking at Mu Xiao who was covered in dirt in front of her, she was a little afraid to retreat.

Last night, Mu Xiao said to go to his father, and now he came back alone, what happened to him when he got so dirty? But if he wanted to harm himself, why did he fall asleep at the door? Not to mention that the girl had just slept after watching herself all night last night, so I thought they would be too much. Taigay thought about it, took a deep breath, and walked out the door.

"You two were lazy last night, look at how you didn't wake up, open the door!" At this time, Taidong's voice came from outside the door, and he was scolding the guard with a fish in his hand.

Mu Xiao, who was suddenly awake, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth in a panic with his big hand, and Tai Gayi behind him suddenly said at this time: "Mu Gongzi is awake?"

"Ah" Mu Xiao only paid attention to Taidong and the guards at the gate of the courtyard talking, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from behind, which really startled him, and his instinctive reaction made him jump a few meters away. Looking back at Tai Gayi, who was full of embarrassment: "It turned out to be my sister-in-law, which scared me." ”

Taidong saw the scene inside, and then pushed open the courtyard door and hurried in, holding Mu Xiao's hands and arms with both hands, he was excited, last night the barracks suddenly encountered a strong wind, and Mu Xiao could not be found behind, which made him worried.

"Mu Xiao, it's really you, last night the Xinjiang Guard Barracks encountered a strong wind, blowing the camp tent all over the ground, the general and I searched around but didn't find you, but we were worried. Taidong's hands grabbed Mu Xiao a little painfully.

Mu Xiao squinted at the fish on his clothes, and grinned, "Lord Tai, why don't you have two drinks today?"

"That's nature, Gay! Taidong finally let go of Mu Xiao's arms, handed the fish in his hand to Tai Gai on the side, and walked into the house with Mu Xiao's shoulders around him.

Mu Xiao was inexplicable in his heart, is this old man so familiar with him? But it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't dislike it when he's dirty.

great

The hall in the east room is not luxurious, but it is also spacious and bright. Taidong pulled a chair from the side and motioned for Mu Xiao to sit down. turned around and said to Tai Ghai, who had just come in: "I said that you are the mother of a child, why are you not sensible at all, hurry up and get Han Yu's clothes over, and boil a pot of water for Mu Xiao to bubble in." ”

"Okay, Dad, be quiet, someone has just fallen asleep. Tegay whispered back.

Mu Xiao thought to himself, although it was a little cold this morning, but it was not enough to take a hot bath, why bother to boil water, seeing that Tai Gayi was about to leave, he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't boil water." ”

Tai Gayi looked back and said in surprise: "This is not good, the water in the well of the border city is cold in early autumn, and if it is not warm, it will kill people." ”

"Mu Xiao, don't you know, the water in this city is cold all year round, especially after early autumn, the cold is like ice!"

Since this is the case, it is not bad to take a hot bath, Mu Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "Then there is Sister-in-law Lao." ”

......

Drenched in hot water, Mu Xiao's spirit doubled. At this time, he was drinking with Taidong in the courtyard and watched Taidong lift the wine jug. He suddenly felt a little inexplicably afraid, he hadn't been drunk since he was rescued by Old Man Zhai, but after drinking the wine of the elusive old man, he was drunk and unconscious, although he knew that he was casting spells in the wine, but at this time, seeing the wine flowing back in the bowl, Mu Xiao was a little afraid of alcohol.

"Lord Tai, don't pour so much for me, it's going to be a mistake!" Mu Xiao said with a frightened face.

Taidong looked at Mu Xiao now, and smiled heartily: "Don't get in the way, I won't go back to the barracks today, the moat camp is under the management of General He, and I will take my grandson at home in the future." ”

Taidong spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he seemed a little helpless, could it be that his official position was being licked? Mu Xiao picked up the bowl and said to Taidong: "Okay, since Lord Tai wants to drink, then get drunk and rest." ”

"Okay, drink him and don't wake up. Taydong laughed, and at this time he had already forgotten about Taegai's words.

The bottom of the bowl is dripping with dew to the sky, and the two are like confidants in wine, and it is difficult to solve the sorrow in their hearts with a thousand cups.

After a long time, Taidong, who was a little confused, looked at Mu Xiao on the opposite side and had already ghosted. The body began to drift a little, and his mouth was chattering: "Mu Xiao, you don't know the relationship for many years, Lao He gave me an order to remove my armor early this morning, I, I Taidong, in the future."

No longer the commander of the garrison barracks, drink!"

While!

The bowl that Taidong had just picked up suddenly fell on the table, but fortunately it was not broken, but the wine in the bowl had been spilled on the floor, and he was snoring on the dining table. Mu Xiao shook his head helplessly, it seems that this old guy hasn't slept all night, and he has drunk a lot. But it seems that it may be because He is unhappy that he will be the commander of the thousand for three years!

"Your Excellency, Lord Tai. Mu Xiao shouted a few times on the other side.

Taidong stopped snoring for a while, and his big hand rose and fell again: drink, but the person did not get up. Mu Xiao had no choice but to help him into the house, and seeing his drunken father, Tai Gayi was worried.

"Ouch, what the hell is so upset about drinking so much!" Taigay took Taidong's arm and dragged it in.

"My lord, my lord, the people from the Frontier Guard Camp are here. At this moment, a guard hurried in and shouted in a panic.

"Missing" Taidong, who was dragged all the way into the house, said in a daze.

The guard was full of surprise and said, "I came with the official seal." ”

"Official seal?" Taidong seemed to be a little sober at this time, but when he turned around, his eyes narrowed into lines looked a little funny, and his whole face was as red as if he had been beaten until he was swollen.

"Yes"

"Look,...... And voila. ”

Taidong, who was originally drunk, could still have some consciousness at this time, Mu Xiao and Tai Gayi looked at each other, and the two felt speechless. Taidong turned around and walked out the door again, but no one helped him down, and before his feet could lift the threshold, he threw himself outside.

"Ouch, this thing is in the way......" Before anyone else could help, Taidong got up in a panic and kicked the threshold and scolded.

"Lord Tai, the general has ordered you to go to the Frontier Protection Battalion to take up your post as soon as possible. At this time, the soldiers of the frontier protection barracks walked in with the paperwork in hand, stopped in front of Taidong, and handed the rolled-up paperwork in his hand to Taidong.

When Taidong heard this, he suddenly sobered up a little, trembled and took the paper in the soldier's hand and opened it. The words on this are probably invisible, but the official seal is very clear. Taidong was a little incredulous, squinted slightly at the soldier in front of him and smiled: "I can't go today, I'm drunk." Hmmm!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole person fell to the door, showing a satisfied smile, and the appointment document was still tightly held in his arms.
