Chapter 165: Talking

Xiahou Xuan used a spear, and for a few years in the army, he had a very good relationship with the officers and soldiers in the army, and he did not look empty because he was the son of a general.

Instead, he was polite to the corporal, treated every soldier gently, and with a spear he wielded, everyone affectionately called him the fast gunner.

Carelessly said his nickname, Xiahou Xuan was embarrassed to continue, Xiahou Zhong took over and said: "Tang Xianfeng has arrived in the army a few days ago, he has a little understanding of his father, he treats the enemy as jealous and hateful, outstanding in martial arts, is quite upright, and respects his father, there is no such sign, is Shuang'er too nervous?"

Seeing his father's disapproving expression, Xiahou Shuang was anxious, but he couldn't convince his father for a while, and some words couldn't be said too bluntly, otherwise no one would believe them.

Xiahou Shuang thought of this and said to the two: "Since it is a warning in a dream, it is better for my father and brother to be careful." ”

Xiahou Zhong nodded disappreciatively, but he still didn't take Xiahou Shuang's words too seriously in his heart.

Because Miss Tang framed Xiahou Shuang, Xiahou Xuan kept this matter in mind, and in the future, he was wary of Tang Juntong in the army, so that it did not cause a big disaster, and this matter is a later story.

In order to welcome the arrival of Xiahou Shuang, Xiahou Zhong asked the kitchen to make a sumptuous dinner, saying that it was rich but adding some meat to the green vegetables, and the border war was tight and the grain and grass were tight, and now the grain has entered the situation of a liter of rice bucket to gold, although there are many interventions, but it still can't control the price of food flying all over the sky.

After Xiao Xinrong arrived, he used thunderous means to force the rich merchants in the city to donate their own grain deposits, which was just a drop in the bucket, and he still couldn't take care of the people's stomachs in the endless battle array.

Xiahou Zhong had no choice but to open the granary in the government to save the refugees, as time went by, there were more and more refugees, and the only food would be unable to support it.

Xiahou Zhong father and son are together with soldiers in the army on weekdays, and today Xiahou Shuang arrived, and the father and son accompanied them to eat, but the kitchen really couldn't get decent ingredients, so they had to add some fishy meat to fill up.

Xiahou Shuang picked up the clear rice soup and drank it with relish, and now he has successfully arrived at the border to see his father and brother, and most of the tasks of his trip have been completed, and he is much happier when he thinks of it.

Although it is a clear soup and coarse grains, Xiahou Shuang also eats with relish, Xiahou Center is ashamed, seeing that Shuang'er is not as picky as the eldest lady next to her, she is relieved a lot, in the end, it is her own daughter, and she has suffered hardship.

After perfecting, the three of them said whatever they wanted, and Xiahou Shuang said the things that happened in the house one by one, although there are daily correspondence, and the two of them also know the things in the house clearly, but it feels different when Xiahou Shuang says it.

Hearing that Xiahou Ze insisted on going to the local government as an official, Xiahou couldn't help but nod his head and praise: "In the end, I am the descendant of Xiahou Mansion, who cares about the people and is dedicated to the public, and will definitely be reused by His Majesty after returning to Beijing after going out for a few years of training." ”

Hearing the news that the second uncle was about to become a father, Xiahou Xuan smiled and said: "I haven't seen the second uncle for many years, and he always took us around to make trouble in the mansion before." "Xiahou Ting is open-minded and cheerful by nature, and he and Xiahou Xuan are not a few years older, and they can often play together.

"It's a great joy for the second uncle to be a father, but I don't know if the war will end when the war comes, and I really want to go back and see my little brother. ”

When it comes to the brothers in the family, Xiahou Zhong remembers the scene of playing together in the mansion with a soft smile on his face.

Xia Houzhong suddenly asked at this time: "What is going on with your third sister?" Although your grandmother sent a letter to inform you, the inside story is still too clear, Shuang'er, you can tell me about this matter in detail. ”

Xiahou Shuang aggravated her foot injury after she insisted on entering the palace to participate in the flower banquet after she was injured, and told everything that happened between her and Chen Rui, and Xiahou Zhong scolded angrily after listening to it: "Bastard things, it is a shame for us Xiahou Mansion!"

Xiahou Xuan didn't have much affection for this stepsister in the mansion, and now he sneered at it.

Xiahou Shuang comforted: "Grandmother will marry the third sister to Chen Gongzi, Chen Gongzi has now entered Dali Temple as an official, although it is just a petty official who does not enter the stream, but after all, he is not a white-clothed body, if he works hard in the future, with our Xiahou Mansion as the backing, the future will be bright, and my father does not have to worry too much." ”

Hearing this, Xia Houzhong softened his expression and nodded: "This is the best, with your grandmother's arrangement, Chen Rui was cultivated in our house, and after getting married, he will not dislike the third sister with a disability, and he will definitely treat her well." ”

Presumably the grandmother in the family also thinks the same, Xiahou Shuang really understands Chen Rui's personality very well, Chen Rui is narrow-minded, vain and greedy, ruthless behind his back, and abandons useless people like a shoe, the title of the third lady of the Hou Mansion is still very attractive to Chen Rui now, but after marrying someone back in the future, the third sister's domineering character, I don't know if Chen Rui can still be as gentle and considerate to Xiahou Yan as he is now.

Xiahou Shuang mentioned that when he came to meet Wager and his party, the father and son of Xiahou were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, this time the war was provoked by the second prince alone, fortunately he didn't know Xiahou Shuang's identity, otherwise it would be impossible to get together safely.

The father and son were also full of gratitude to Xiao Xinrong, and Xiahou Zhong told him not to go out of the city in the future, so as not to meet Wagel again, and it would be bad if it fell into his hands.

Xiahou Shuang knew how powerful this was, nodded and responded solemnly.

It was late at night, and Xiahou Zhong told her to rest early, since she arrived here and waited for a few days before the war subsided, it was not too late to go back.

Xiahou Zhong and Xiahou Xuan left to inspect the barracks, and saw that the big stone in their father and brother Xiahou Shuang's heart had fallen, stuck to the bed and fell asleep directly.

In the dead of night, the insects chirped softly, the barracks were silent, and occasionally there was the sound of patrols passing through, and a team of patrolmen passed by on the way, shouting a password!

Xiahou replied: "Xingchen!"

After hearing the password, the patrol did not stop and passed by.

Xiahou Zhong dodged into the big tent, one of the tents was paved with sand and stone to form a simulated battlefield, Xiahou Zhong bowed down and kept moving in his hands, thinking in his heart.

It seems that the Tatars did not take much advantage of this battle, but most of the officers and men of our dynasty were from the Central Plains, and when they arrived at the border pass, they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and most of them fell ill in an instant.

Now the Tatar side is intercepting the water source in Shangyuan, and today Xiahou Zhong and his party went out of the city to find countermeasures.

There is a water source outside the city of Gulie, the water flows from top to bottom to the city for people to drink, and now Wager intercepts the water source on it, the water in the city has been cut off for several days, Xiahou Zhong encouraged the people to dig wells to find water but the harvest is not much, if it goes on for a long time, the people will be directly defeated if they do not need to send troops without Tatars because of the lack of water.
