With the Mopan Mountain incident at hand, Xiao Song did not reject Li Hui's proposal.Moreover, his wife and daughter are really capable, even Dr. Gao was full of praise for them.

As soon as Li Hui left, Xiao Song summoned officials above the military camp commander to discuss countermeasures.

This time the scale was so large that the soldiers all sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and stood ready.

The meeting in the handsome account lasted from noon to sunset. The main purpose was to ensure the integrity of Liangyan's territory and prevent it from being attacked by foreign countries.This is inevitable for all the soldiers, but I always feel that the coach has reservations.After the discussion, people left one after another, and those who couldn't hold themselves back talked in a low voice.There are also people who will kindly interrupt to avoid causing trouble.

In the handsome tent, Xiao Song sat motionless at the table. Youyan changed the hot tea for him twice, but left it to cool down without touching a sip.

After a long time, Xiao Song sighed and murmured to himself:
"Since the mutual market cannot satisfy them, don't blame me for preparing to fight back. They have benefited a lot from Old Man Su over the years, and it's time to pay off their debts."

You Yan didn't say anything when he heard this, he just stood aside and waited.He has been with Xiao Song since he was a child and is the person who knows his master best.Sometimes what the wife does will make the master angry, but others can't see it, but he can see it clearly.

The northern border was a thorn in the side of the Xiao family, the Liu family, and even... the Liang Yan Dynasty.The master came here this time just to pull out this thorn and take back the lost land taken away by Beiqi.He dared to say that he was right about this secret.

That night, Huwei Mountain began to send additional patrols. There were ten teams every day and every night, with ten people in each team, and each team was equipped with a gong.Once an abnormality is discovered, a gong will be sounded to notify everyone so that everyone can provide support.

The gongs were prepared by the government office. They were used by the watchmen to do the watch, and there were plenty of them.

On the other side, it is impossible to cross the mountain and enter the country to grab things.Not only that, patrols at the border defense line have also begun to increase.As long as the opponent has some brains, they will realize that the situation is already very tense.

Cheng Xue and Li Yue started busy after being sent to the military camp, either grinding medicine or making noodles.

Antipyretic, swelling-reducing, dampness-repelling...

With their two helpers, Dr. Gao felt much more relaxed. He put the pills and other items he had made recently into categories, and also studied pharmaceutical matters with Cheng Xue.

The military camp is different from the city. When ordinary people are sick, they can go to have their pulse checked, prescribe the right medicine, and go home to cook.The military camp doesn't have this kind of free time. If there's a big battle, as long as the injury doesn't hurt the vital part, it can be simply bandaged before going back to the battlefield.Therefore, it is necessary to prepare medicinal noodles, powder, etc. in advance.

For two days in a row, there was no movement at all on the other side, but no one dared to take it lightly, because at this time, we need to pay more attention.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Xiao Song came to the military camp with his wife and children, and Li Hui also brought his children to reunite with his wife and daughter.Both families have prepared a lot of things for the New Year, and now they have all been brought here, just in time to add a few more dishes to the brothers in the military camp.

The happiest thing is the kitchen camp. With the arrival of Ginkgo and Angelica dahurica, their cooking skills can be improved again.

The reunion dinner at the military camp is mainly affordable and delicious, including soy pork elbow, smoked chicken, stewed goose, etc.

The whole afternoon, the whole military camp in the north was filled with the smell of meat.The wind direction today is still blowing towards Beiqi, so one can imagine what the reaction from the other side will be.

It's hard to guarantee that the other side won't snatch something with such a fragrant smell.At the end of the year, we can only eat good food during the Chinese New Year, but we can't take advantage of the grandchildren across the street.The soldiers looked expectant, but their tight strings did not loosen for a moment, like a group of leopards guarding their prey.

At Shen Shizheng, dinner was officially served in the military camp. Xiao Song took his son, Li Hui took Li Heng and Yan Yixin to eat with the soldiers outside.

In the camp, Mrs. Xiao was accompanied by Cheng Xue, her daughter, and Li Huai.Because of that incident in the capital, Cheng Xue didn't have a good impression of her, but she was decent enough.I guess the same goes for Mrs. Xiao, so the atmosphere in the tent is quite harmonious.

The reunion dinner inside the camp did not last long, but the soldiers outside the camp ate for a full hour.The food was hot and hot, and in the end each table was served directly from a large copper pot, so you could eat it steaming hot and warm.Because of the Chinese New Year, the military camp was brightly lit and there were no bosses or subordinates. Everyone was making fists and joking.Xiao Song also specially prepared a red envelope. The envelope was not much, only five cents, but it was enough to make the soldiers happy.After all, no one used to give them lucky money.

Cheng Xue also got one, and when she saw that You Yan had given it to her personally, she smiled and thanked her.Then Bai Wei also gave him the prepared red envelope. After all, he was the person around Xiao Song, so he had to give him some face.

Not far away, I saw Li Tian and Li Huai, who were making a fuss with Pang Meng and the others. These people came to the house often, and the children were familiar with them.

"Madam, do you think there will be someone coming from the other side tonight?"

Listening to Bai Wei's question, Cheng Xue shook her head.

"I really don't know. I hope they don't come and we all have a quiet year."

She is not afraid of being busy or tired, but she is afraid of war and casualties.

“I’m making dumplings—wash your hands quickly and let’s make dumplings together—”

Xiao Song's energetic voice came, and the soldiers immediately cheered.

Today's dumplings have three kinds of fillings, namely beef and radish, mutton and carrot, and sauerkraut and pork.

Everyone saw when the ginkgo, angelica and the stuffing were put together, they were all meat, and if you took a bite, your mouth would definitely be full of oil.Regardless of whether they were a coach, a general, or a soldier, several tables were set up side by side, and everyone was rolling out the dough and making dumplings.

If you don't know how to do it, learn it. If you can't learn it, just stay aside.

Xiao Qinglin knew how to make dumplings. He came up to Cheng Xue and chatted while working. The Yuanbao dumplings were made very beautifully.

"Sister-in-law, I told my brother just now that we will do the Qingshui business together. When the time comes, we will split the money between four and three."

"Four three three?"

Xiao Qinglin curled his lips and pointed at Li Hui, who was rolling out dough not far away, and said:

"Brother said that the shops and houses that were inspected all belong to the public. He is not going to sell them directly, but collect rent. The Yamen will split the account with the contractor [-]-[-], and then we will split it equally, so it is [-]-[-]-[-]. What's the deal? This is the case for Xingyuan, jewelry shops, etc., and all the money has been made by him."

They all say that there is no business without treachery. He feels that this is wrong. The most treacherous person is his brother.He held all the profitable shops in Fucheng in his hands, and then the yamen divided the money together. This money had to be after the shop tax was taken out. This was the first time he had heard of it.

Cheng Xue raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, put the wrapped dumplings on the curtain, and said:

"Don't blame your brother. The government owes a whole lot of famine. He has to find money quickly. Besides, the official roads in Fucheng are not good. There are no schools or academies. Everything is money."

Li'er is like this, Li'er, but she just feels uncomfortable in her heart.
