After more than half an hour, the grassland man had already breathed more and less air, but he still gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

Xu Beiyou didn't have the patience to continue to consume, and once again sealed this person's trick with lifeless sword qi, and prepared to send it to Zhongdu, which was regarded as a gift to Zhang Wuxi.

Xu Beiyou, who originally planned to stay in Xiaofangzhai for a while, had to leave Xiaofangzhai in advance, deal with the matter first, and then continue his trip.

However, Xu Beiyou did not intend to return to Zhongdu, but planned to go to Hanoi Province as originally planned, where he would transfer the steppe man to the Northwest Garrison, who would then escort him to Zhongdu by the Northwest Garrison of Hanoi Province.

After temporarily placing this person here, Xu Beiyou went to the village to say goodbye to the villagers, especially Xiaoxiang, this girl, after being busy in the past two days, he can't help but say goodbye, if possible, he also hopes to help this little girl like his sister, don't suffer in this small world, can be like Li Qinglian, you can study and sleep in your spare time, without the risk of freezing and starvation.

Xu Beiyou walked around the village and informed the people in the village of the news that he was leaving, most of them were indifferent, after all, Xu Beiyou came and went in a hurry, like a passerby, but Xiaoxiang's girl secretly had red eyes, and she was a little reluctant to go north.

Xu Beiyou rubbed her head with a smile, and explained softly: "I wanted to stay a little longer when I came back this time, but I was in a hurry, so I had to leave early." ”

Xiaoxiang lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with her fingers, and hummed softly.

She is a very traditional little woman, very tough, like a little grass, able to face the hardships of life alone, and very supple, and will not easily disobey others.

Xu Bei lobbied to leave, even if she was reluctant, she would only wish him a smooth journey.

Xu Beiyou continued: "You have been tired in the past two days, are there any difficulties? ”

Xiao Xiang raised her head, pursed her lips, and shook her head.

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Do you want to leave Xiaofangzhai and go to a bigger place?"

Xiaoxiang shook her head and said, "Daddy and Mom are here." ”

Xu Beiyou said: "After you have the ability, it is the same to take your father and mother away." ”

Xiao Xiang plucked up the courage to look directly at this Beiyou brother, who had become a little strange, and said solemnly: "Brother Beiyou, aren't we friends? Aren't friends supposed to help each other? Why do you always want to compensate me? Are you afraid of owing me favors?"

A series of questions made Xu Beiyou speechless.

There was even a moment of trance.

Friends?

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but ask himself at this moment, did he ever have friends?

The kind of friend who doesn't mix with any utilitarianism.

The kind of friend who makes a promise.

The kind of friend who lives and dies with wealth and wealth.

The kind of friend who is enough to give his wife and children.

There is an ancient saying that if one day, he is also unfortunate to be on the streets, will anyone stand up to collect the body for him?

Then Xu Beiyou couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It's so pitiful, it doesn't seem to be.

Don't say one, not half of it.

Xu Beiyou smiled and nodded, "Yes, we are friends." ”

Xiao Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Beiyou had already waved his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at Xu Beiyou's departing back, Xiao Xiang also waved her hand, and the pigtail tied on her head swayed gently in the wind.

For Xu Beiyou's departure, the girl was actually mentally prepared, because that Beiyou brother had changed and became incompatible with this village, and he would leave sooner or later, but this time he left earlier.

On the way back, Xu Beiyou raised his hand and twisted a wisp of snow-white sideburns, and muttered to himself: "Under the childish melon and willow shed, in the narrow alley where the thin dog chases the butterfly, the world is prosperous and laughing, but I have two sideburns to spare." ”

......

The reason why the Northwest Army was able to form a large number of cavalry troops was because there were many pastures dotted in the vast northwest, among which Hanoi Province had the largest number of pastures, the largest area and the best horses.

With these three "most", Hanoi Mansion has become a well-deserved Shaanzhou Palace, even more important than Yanzhou Mansion, with 50,000 cavalry troops stationed here, but just as Yanzhou Mansion is in charge of the War Bureau, this place is the Imperial Horse Supervisor who belongs to the 24 prisons of the Inner Court, second only to the Celebrant Supervisor, after all, in today's world, although firearms have begun to emerge, but the cavalry is still the invincible country's heavy weapon.

As early as the time of the Great Zheng Dynasty, the northwest was divided into five states, namely Zhongdu, Xihe Prefecture, Hanoi Prefecture, Shaanzhou, Xiliang Prefecture, and later Emperor Xiao divided Xihe Prefecture into three, which were attributed to Zhongdu, Shaanzhou and Xiliangzhou, Xiliangzhou was renamed Liangzhou, and the smallest Hanoi Prefecture was reduced to a prefecture, which was also assigned to Shaanzhou, making Shaanzhou a large state that can be compared with Shuzhou in one fell swoop.

It's just that many old people still like the old name, calling Liangzhou Xiliang, and the area where Danxia Village and Xiaofang Village are located is called Xihe Prefecture, so Xu Beiyou once claimed to be a person from Xihe Prefecture.

In the same way, the people of Hanoi Province do not like the name Hanoi Province very much, and still refer to themselves as Hanoi State, whether it is Hanoi Province or Hanoi State, this place has always been a huge pasture, and after entering this place, the air seems to be filled with the smell of horse manure.

He Shiyu, the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison.

As the eunuch of Hanoi Province, his government office is the best and largest in the entire Hanoi Province, and he himself is the most powerful person in the entire Hanoi Province.

But at this time, he was a little low, even servile and servile, facing the blurred figure behind the screen, he fell to the ground, with a bit of panic in his flattery, "The concubine is here, and the slave is flattered." ”

Eunuchs, as the cronies of the royal family, they are also the servants of the royal family, to make an inappropriate analogy, civil officials and military generals are hired laborers, although people have to bow their heads under the eaves, to look up to people to breathe, but they can still come and go if they are not in agreement, and eunuchs are different, they are domestic slaves, life and death are in the master's hands, so civil officials can pay attention to the word "style" and call themselves a "minister", but eunuchs will not, they usually call themselves slaves, that is, to show humility, but also to show closeness.

However, this master is also superior and inferior, such as Xiao Bai, the crown prince of Great Qi, the future master of the Xiao family, that is the master of all eunuchs, even if Zhang Baisui has to call himself an old slave, and such as Xiao Quji, a declining county king, I am afraid that ordinary eunuchs will not treat him as the same thing.

The twenty-four yamen of the inner court, headed by the celebrant supervisor, is equivalent to the cabinet of the outer court, followed by the imperial horse supervisor, and is equivalent to the metropolitan governor's office of the outer court.

The young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is not necessarily worse than the master of ceremonies.

There are only a handful of people who can make a second-in-command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor call himself a slave and maid, looking at the vast world.

This one, but the emperor as early as the Taiping ten years of the imperial concubine Niangniang, although because of the discord with the queen mother, has never set foot in the imperial city half a step in his life, but after all, it is on the record, after the death of the emperor, the current saint is also to abide by the edict to respect the imperial concubine, whether it is a courtier or a nobleman, to treat it with the courtesy of the concubine.

Besides, if you can wrestle with the Queen Mother for most of your life, will you be an ordinary person?

A graceful figure turned out from behind the screen, looked at He Shiyu who was kneeling on the ground condescendingly, and said with a light smile: "Young Eunuch He doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." ”
