Shi'an took a pot of honey water and poured them to Huo Yunqian and Lieutenant Shan Shao respectively.

Shi'an was reminded by Erdaohe's group that he thought he would sleep in a cave, and it was raining outside and the cave was damp and cold. I think the young master would not be able to sleep at night because he wanted to see the distribution of the six major tribes in the map of Mobei. He really should drink some sugar water relieve fatigue.

It was originally scheduled that after ten days, the Huo Family Army would send a team to escort officials from the Ministry of Rites to the six major tribes to negotiate the mutual market.

But after this evil storm, it is still unknown what the road will look like.

There is Jiang here, I hope there will be no disasters, once there is a disaster, it will be lagging behind.

Ten peace of mind: Ever since his young master became the general of Zhenbei, there are many princes in the capital who want to catch his young master's pigtail, and they can't wait to grab the pigtail to win the Huo family over. .

After all, there are no other tricks available.There have been three consecutive generations of the Huo family, and the men never became princesses, and the daughters of the Huo family never married into the royal family.

It can be seen that time is tight and tasks are heavy, and his young master may have to stay up late again.

The honey that Shi'an soaked for Huo Yunqian was Galla honey, which came from the Qinling generation.

He heard Uncle Lai say that this kind of honey is helpful for men's lungs and kidneys to restore energy.

And drinking more has a detoxifying effect. If you have a small wound on your body, you can apply a small amount to relieve pain, and it is also excellent for wound healing.If it weren't for these effects, Uncle Lai would have brought it here impatiently, and asked him to persuade the young master to pay more attention to rest when he was injured.

Shi'an knows that Huo Yunqian has always disliked sticky and sweet food, and only eats salty and spicy food. The sweet and sour dishes carefully cooked in the house never touch chopsticks, so he hurriedly persuaded him if he didn't want to drink:
"Young master, take this honey water as the sugar water sent by those people. They just don't dare to bother you to thank you in front of you. Their status is so different that they dare not even mention it. Otherwise, they will definitely send two big bowls full of it." .”

Don't believe that you still don't drink what the common people brought?
The common people are reluctant to eat candy several times throughout the year, but they give away what they are reluctant to use to others.Is that ordinary sugar water?This is the precious heart of that group of people.

Huo Yunqian glanced at Shi'an, talking nonsense, and when the deputy general Shan Shao lowered his head and smiled, he picked up the cup and drank it.

Shan Shao also drank it, not to mention, it tasted good, it moistened his throat and his mouth was dry.

Seeing that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Shi An took advantage of the gap between changing the wick, and taught Huo Yunqian the old lady Xu's heartfelt words.

There is basically no difference in a word.

Shi'an wants to make the young master happy. It is meaningful for the Huo family to get involved in this muddy water. Even if it is thankless in the eyes of the so-called "smart people in the court", at least the people know that the Huo family army is good and look forward to the Huo family army.

And Huo Jiajun is also for this.

Shi'an remembered that half a year ago, when the old lady asked his young master to take over this hot potato, she said that no matter what happened in the court, no matter how disappointed and sad, the border must be guarded, so that no one could take advantage of the turmoil in the market.Huo Jiajun only needs to remember that doing this well is higher than the criticism from the court. The original intention of your ancestor to create Huo Jiajun was definitely not to protect himself.Otherwise, if the city gate is broken, it will be the people who will suffer, and no amount of regret will be able to undo it.

Shan Shao suddenly asked Shi'an, "Is the surname Xu in Erdaohe Village?"

"That's right." Shi'an told Mrs. Xu and her granddaughter about the unusual way of forming a team in their village.And Mrs. Xu, as an old woman, is a talker and so on.

Shi'an even brought out what Uncle Lai said about Xu Tianxin.It is said that some people wear gold and silver, but their behavior has an earthy smell, and the way they dress is also the same, and the inside is the same.The Xu family took that little girl as an example. She was dressed in tattered clothes and had dark skin. At first glance, she looked like a country girl, her eyes were clear and her eyes were clear.

This sounds a bit nonsense to Shi'an. Temperament is a three-point thing that depends on nature and seven-point support.What kind of aristocratic taste can be attached to a girl who was raised in a farming family struggling to make ends meet.

As for what is meant by a girl who has seen the world, Shi'an feels that she has more right to speak, because the definition of this word was defined by his young master who is both civil and military.

The young master of his family once said: People who have really seen the world, regardless of men and women, have seen upward prosperity and downward suffering, and any difference between high and low can be accepted and comfortable.Never be complacent when going up, and never belittle yourself when going down.

However, Huo Yunqian didn't take Shi'an's words seriously at this time, and he also felt that Uncle Lai was exaggerating.

After all, Uncle Lai once married a daughter of a fifth-rank official family as his step-wife. Before she married, that woman had a good reputation and showed charity in front of others.Three years after the marriage, the woman gave birth to a son, and two years later, the eldest son of Uncle Lai's original wife died of illness.Inadvertently learned that it was not a disease but a poison. The woman took advantage of the fact that Uncle Lai was stationed in the army camp and was often away, so she used a lot of tricks.

So far, Uncle Lai has a deep prejudice against the "noble girls in the city" based on their origins, but he looks differently at the rural ones, thinking that small vision has small advantages, simple and pure.So Uncle Lai is sick and needs to be cured.

Shan Shao looked at Huo Yunqian and said suddenly: "Take your granddaughter out, then I know who it is. I remember Xu Youtian once mentioned that he has a daughter."

Just now when Shi'an said that the group was Erdaohe Village, Shan Shao thought that the general should have a little impression of this village.Although the general didn't read all the trivia in the secret report, the general's memory has always been very good, otherwise he wouldn't have asked specifically.

And he had read the complete secret report.

Just a few months ago, the secret guards were investigating, selling private salt, raising private soldiers and colluding with foreign vassals. Erdaohe Village, including other villages involved, had been reported for their connections.

In order not to miss anything, the general situation of each associated village will also be mentioned.

In Shan Shao's view, it's not Li Zheng who made some "minor mistakes" in Erdaohe Village that can impress people. Compared with those few serious crimes, it's really not enough.

Instead, Xu Youtian mentioned a few words.

I don't know if the general still has any impression of this person.

Back then, it was the Eldest Prince who led the troops to help and lead the commander-in-chief flag. The 16-year-old general at that time only entered the battlefield as a hussar general.

Shan Shao was by his side, and Xu Youtian was in that small team at that time.

At this time, Huo Yunqian also had an impression after being mentioned by Shan Shao.

Huo Yunqian remembered that the leading soldier named Xu Youtian could tell the direction according to the sun and stars.

When climbing a cliff, throw the rope and throw it accurately, like a very experienced veteran, with a big turn, the rope head flies far and accurately like a meteor hammer, and can tie a flat knot. Tackknot, it's better to hit it faster than him.

He remembered someone in the team ostentatiously saying that the bridge deck on the conscription road broke and needed a ferry, and the ship was broken because of Xu Youtian's sealing of the cabin to plug the leaks. Xu Youtian saved many people with these skills.He also said that although Xu Youtian was an official, it was a bit embarrassing to be drafted into the army. Xu Youtian had already had his own "Aritan Army" with dozens of people, and everyone obeyed Xu Youtian.

Afterwards, a team of them ambushed the camp to dig traps, and they were caught fighting in close quarters and sneaking into the virgin forest to escape the pursuit. The one named Xu Youtian was even more eye-catching.

The proposed box method makes it easy for the enemy to play in the jungle.

To say that he is relatively not so good is his riding skills. It should be that he has never been in contact with horses due to his background.

And precisely because of these, when he returned to the camp, he proposed to the commander, General Yan, that after the battle, he would take Xu Youtian and the "Aritan Army" away.

At that time, he planned that after the battle, some recruits from the Huo family would be removed together with the "Aritan Army" and thrown to Xu Youtian for training, so that he could form a new team.

Unfortunately, I heard later that this person died in battle.

On the contrary, after the battle, the "Arita Army" with dozens of people left with him, regardless of whether they were farmers or military service, and voted for the Huo Family Army.

Huo Yunqian thought of these past events, and it is still a pity until now.

Bole and Maxima are not common.

"How did he die?"

As soon as Shan Shao heard it, he knew that the general had a deep impression on Xu Youtian:
"It was because the Ninth Prince went to the front line and opened the city gate to meet the enemy privately. He was so eager to make meritorious service that he almost broke the city.

Back then, the Ninth Prince couldn't mobilize Old General Yan and the eldest son's regular soldiers. At that time, you were returning to the court to urge the army rations.

As for those people, nine times out of ten, more than half of the corpses were not brought back, or they were trampled into mud by the horses, or they were incomplete.It's hard to confirm the identity, and the old general Yan, the main general, was ordered by the present to take care of the Ninth Prince's face. I heard that the list of those killed in battle was not posted until two or three years ago. "

The Ninth Prince is the son of Concubine Shu, who was very favored by Concubine Shu back then.

Huo Yunqian laughed back in anger, yes, it was that idiot who caused his elder brother to lose his right leg.Although the battle was held at the city gate, it was extremely miserable.He searched for smuggled salt because he wanted to avenge his elder brother, but he didn't expect to find out from the Ninth Prince to the Seventh Prince, who was normally quiet.

"Did you get Xu Youtian's funeral money?"

The imperial court stipulated that if a soldier died in battle, he would be paid full military salary for three years, which is 36 shi of rice.Then three to six buckets of grain were given every month for two years.If there are children who inherit the position of soldiers, only funeral silver will be given.

Shan Shao paused and said: "No, it's not that someone is greedy for ink, but the imperial court ordered a suspension. After a long time, there is no explanation."

Shi'an was dumbfounded, his young master and Erdaohe also had this reason.

Is that Granny Xu Xu Youtian's mother?No wonder.

And what does arrears mean?
Shi An thought to himself: The soldiers of the Huo family army were killed in battle, but they had compensation money. I never heard that the imperial court dared to order them to default on the payment.

Huo Yunqian was in no mood to look at the map again.

He stood in the courtyard of the cave, with only a table and a bed beside him.

He asked himself again: This is the imperial court he is loyal to. Dozens of men from the three generations of his Huo family either died of being shrouded in horse leather or were seriously injured like his elder brother and could no longer be used as horses.To be suspected by all parties in this way is to take advantage of the Huo family's feelings for the people.

Is there still light?

Soldiers who died in the war will not be given pension money to comfort their families, but today there is Yu Yin who announced not long ago that he will spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to build a Taoist temple.

If it weren't for the sick and weak crown prince begging until he fainted in the hall, and some old ministers at the court were not hesitant to bump into death to make admonitions, today's general election will be held this year to let beautiful women from all over the world enter Beijing.

If the eunuchs make trouble, it may not only be the daughters of officials of the right age, but also disturb the election of the people.

Just like this, the Taoist temple still needs to be built, and the elective is only postponed for two or three years.

Huo Yunqian's face was very ugly.

"General, there is one more thing about Xu Youtian."

"Say."

Shan Shao told the secret report from the secret guard that Erdaohe Village was building a house next to the busy road.Hearing from Shi'an that he went out this time for shopping, it must be some soldier of the Huo family who was favored by Xu Youtian back then, who gave the inside information in advance to trade with each other.

After all, at the beginning of the renovation of the General's Mansion, they had not yet decided on a candidate, so they sent many of their own people to mix with the craftsmen to build the roads for the mutual market.

Shan Shao had good intentions, and wanted to take advantage of Huo Yunqian's memory of Xu Youtian's various incidents and feel sorry for him, so that he could clear up the matter.

"Ah."
