The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 187 The Early Spring in the Small Building
Zhao Tong returned home, Tong Guan came to visit in the evening, the two chatted for a long time in the study, and finally Tong Guan left with a complicated expression.

He called Zhang Xian again, looked at Xiao Lang and said, "How are you learning the art of war?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said: "My lord, I have understood seven or eight out of ten."

Zhao Tong laughed and said: "But you are not ashamed to say it. You have never been on the battlefield, so you dare to say that you understand seven or eight out of ten?"

Zhang Xian suddenly bowed his head in shame, he also wanted to go to the battlefield, but there was no chance, even now he didn't have a military position.

Zhao Tong thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper from the small box, it was the first chapter of Meng De's new book.

He said, "I will send you another article."

Zhang Xian hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and Zhao Tong said: "This article is to figure out the enemy's psychology, and make changes based on the art of war. You can't build a car behind closed doors. I plan to let you enter the army. What do you think?"

Zhang Xian was overjoyed when he heard the words: "My lord, I have long wanted to join the army, but I just don't know how to say it."

Zhao Tang nodded: "In the government department, most of them are official duties, far from being tempered in the army, but there are a lot of bandits at the moment, once you join the army, you will inevitably go to war, you have to think about it, fighting is not just a game, but a life matters at stake.”

Zhang Xiandao: "My lord, I have already thought about it. What's the meaning of the governor, it's better to be in the army. If I don't join the army, I will learn martial arts in vain."

Zhao Tong shook his head and smiled: "I'm just asking you about this first, you have to go and talk to the instructor later, and I also have to talk to Zhenniang here, if you don't agree, then let it go."

Zhang Xian blinked his eyes and said, "My lord, is it alright if you don't say anything?"

Zhao Tong said: "How can you not talk about such a big matter?"

Zhang Xian suddenly frowned and said: "What if you disagree?"

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "If you disagree, I will send you to Longyou. It's bitter cold there, I'm afraid they will be even more reluctant."

The next day, Zhao Tuo went out of the city to reorganize the army. After all, Wang Xiang had to draw ten soldiers from the front of the palace and the guards to command each. Before and after this, there was a need to count the number of people and hand over the procedures. This trip took another two or three days In the past, it wasn't until Wang Xiang left Tokyo with his troops that it finally stopped.

At this point, in mid-February, Zhang Xian was thrown by Zhao Tun into the ninth commander of the Longwei Army and became a deputy military envoy. Wang Qing, all lay down in Tokyo to raise fat.

The Dragon Guards belong to the Fourth Army, with the old title of Protector of the Holy Spirit. They will not be sent out to fight in all directions easily. Most of them are mainly guarding the capital. Not only the 38 commanders of the Dragon Guards stationed in the capital have not moved at all, but they are also the Japanese army in front of the temple. There were 33 conductors, and none of them were mobilized.

In the early morning of this day, Zhao Tun opened the window after getting up, and a warm feeling came over his face. He looked at the fresh green slightly emerging in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel good.

After washing up and having breakfast, he didn't go to the government office to sit in town. He was busy these few days, so he simply slacked off and stayed in the house for a day. As for the government office, Tan Zhen was enough.

Walking up the Shiziyong Road with his hands behind his back, Zhao Tang saw Lei San and his servants pruning the branches, and Hua Ding was planting flower seedlings brought from outside the mansion.

Those seedlings are not big, they are green and lush, and I can't tell what kind they are. As for the flower fertilizer, I don't know if it will work or not.

Zhao Tong wandered all the way, went to the pond to watch the fish for a while, and then sat in the rockery pavilion for a while, the maid came to deliver tea, after drinking, he thought for a while and then walked to the back house.

When I came to the courtyard gate on the second floor, I saw Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er busy with something. When I got closer, I saw that they were planting flowers in the small flower garden.

I saw that both of them were wearing short commoner clothes, wearing small boots, holding flower hoes, digging holes in the flower garden, sowing seeds and watering, and then cultivating a hoe of soil, which looked decent.

The young lady covered her head with a blue and white handkerchief, no makeup was applied, her brows and eyes were unparalleled, her wrists were as white as snow, even when she was doing work, she looked more graceful and graceful.

Zhao Tang looked at it for a while, but the young lady raised her head to wipe her sweat and just happened to see him, and her face immediately turned red.

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "Let's rest when I come, otherwise, what's the point of seeing you all tired."

The two came to greet each other, and the young lady said, "Will the prince not go out today?"

Zhao Tong said: "I've been busy for a few days, so I should stay for a while. I saw that the flower seedlings are being transplanted in front of me. Why are you still using live plants?"

Jin'er said from the side: "The lady collects flower seeds every year, and always likes to see these kinds of flowers, so she has to replant them."

Zhao Tong said: "I also met last year. Although I don't know each other, the fragrance is so strong that I can't forget it for a long time."

The little lady said: "Sit down, my lord, I'll make tea for my lord."

Zhao Tong nodded, turned around and glanced at the bluestone pier outside the flower garden, but there was dust on it, Jin'er said: "My lord, let me wipe it for you."

Zhao Tun thought for a while, without saying a word, looked at the door of the small building, and walked slowly.

The door of the small building was open at this time, and the sun was shining in diffusely. He vaguely saw the young lady wash her hands in clear water, then walked back, couldn't help stepping on the wooden steps, and also entered the building.

He has never been here before, and when Xiaoniang moved here, she was also cleaned up by maids, but now it looks like an old-fashioned pattern.

Entering the door and going to the innermost part is a wooden staircase, which can go up to the second floor, while the first floor looks like a small hall, without much decoration, a little unpretentious.

There is also a wooden door on the side, which is probably where the East Chef is. When the lady goes inside, she should be boiling water to make tea.

Zhao Tun also went over, looked in front of the door, the young lady was cutting tea cakes with a wooden knife, her fingers were slender and white, against the brown color, they were as warm as jade.

Zhao Tun walked over with a smile, the young lady raised her head when she heard the voice, she suddenly became a little flustered: "My lord, you..."

Zhao Tun walked to her side and shook her hand, the tea knife fell to the ground with a "click", and the young lady trembled, lowered her head and said: "My lord, I, I still want to make tea."

Zhao Tong said: "I just finished drinking, it's good to just stay."

The little lady didn't move, the room was silent for a moment, and for a moment, there was a slight heartbeat.

The two stood facing each other like this, Zhao Tun held the hand of the young lady, and the young lady lowered her head, feeling that her heart was about to burst, she was a little scared, as if she had done something wrong, but she was very happy, feeling that at this moment, she had actually done something wrong. She was so down-to-earth, and this contradictory feeling made her a little powerless.

She couldn't help slightly raising her head to look at Zhao Tun, Zhao Tun was also looking at her, at this time the blue and white veil on her head hadn't been taken off, even her body was stained with dirt from planting flowers, she suddenly felt that this was too shameful and rude , I want to break free from that hand, but how can I break free.

Zhao Tang looked at her with a smile, and the young lady looked into his eyes, she couldn't help feeling more and more panicked, and her face became hotter and hotter, at this moment, Jin'er shouted outside: "My lord, I wiped the pier... Hey, my lord, go Where is it?"

The girl was startled when she heard the words, she pulled out her arms with all her strength and walked out, but she tripped over the wooden tea knife and fell forward, Zhao Tang stretched out her hand to hold her back, saying, "Be careful."

Little Niang didn't dare to answer, she just felt a haze in her mind, and she only knew how to go outside...
