Yan Li looked at the petite woman in front of him, no words could express the shock in his heart. It was a feeling called protection, and Yan Li finally understood why she was named General Protecting the Nation. Protect the country, protect the country, protect the land and the people on the land!
She and him have always been in a transactional and cooperative relationship, and she is also impressed by her inner responsibility at this time. His Majesty Li Hai gave up these soldiers and civilians, but she, Rong Changan, did not and would not give up on them. Although she is a woman, she has countless wins over men, she really is a woman who does not give way to a man!
This is true for a woman, not to mention that Yan Li is a big man, and a man who wants to do something for the country and the people!
Yan Li saw Song Qiang go out to pass the order, so Mao recommended himself, "Chang'an, leave the matter of finding food to me! It happens that I have nothing to do."
Rong Changan looked at Yan Li's nonchalant expression, "This is not a joke, are you sure? This doesn't seem to be your place!"
"I only do this one thing, and leave the rest to you." Rong Changan did not refute, knowing that Yan Li also had good intentions for the people, so he took a deep look at him.
"Thousands of soldiers and civilians give up as soon as they say they give up. How can this be done by a Mingjun? Such a cold-blooded person is in vain, not to mention that he is still the high-ranking Ninth Five-Year Lord. It would be great if there was a Mingjun in Dajing Kingdom! People! Then you can no longer be displaced, and the army and the people will fight against foreign enemies together!" After saying this, she remembered her tragic death in her previous life, and her sad emotions immediately lingered in her body.
Turning around, Rong Chang'an's sharp eyes looked straight at Yan Li, "Yan Li, what do you think?"
Yan Li's eyes kept looking at the teacup on the table, as if he didn't hear Rong Changan's words at all, "General Rong, before we set off, His Majesty gave me a secret decree, do you want to know what decree he gave me? "
"I, Rong Changan, do things brightly, and I don't care what he asks you to do." After speaking, Rong Changan turned and left.
Seeing that Rong Changan had arrived at the door, Yan Li reminded, "General, it's better to be cautious in your words and deeds, in case there are any rumors. You are not only a person, but also this army!"
Yan Li thought that he had given up the goal of restoring the former dynasty. He thought that as long as the world was peaceful, he could just be a capable minister who governed the world and did some practical things for the people and he would be satisfied. But is this really the case
He refused so decisively in front of Rong Changan, but after he left, he stayed in the room quietly by himself, and he was also lost in confusion. He tightly held the hand of the teacup, which showed that the master was at this moment. How restless, how turbulent the heart is!
On the second day, Li Dajun brought a middle-aged man in his thirties and the little boy Xiaojiu he met yesterday into the mansion.
Li Dajun signaled two people to kowtow to Rong Changan, and sure enough, the two kowtowed simply, Rong Changan told them to get up quickly.
"General, the older one is Dai Liyun, and the younger one is Dai Jiuqing. The old patriarch asked me to send them here. Dai Liyun is a woodcutter, and he is very familiar with the nearby roads, especially the mountain roads. This kid, I wanted to come, said It’s okay to help you serve tea and water.”
Rong Changan glanced at Dai Liyun with his eyes, and indeed he looked like an honest man, like a woodcutter. "You can take him to Yan Yushi's place directly. He is responsible for the food. Let me help the child, Xiao Jiu?" Rong Changan remembered that the old man called him Xiao Jiu.
Dai Jiuqing immediately raised her head and smiled at Rong Changan, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, very simple.
"They all call me Xiaojiu, which means long and long."
"You wanted to come here yourself? Then what are you trying to do for me here?" Rong Changan asked suspiciously.
Xiao Jiu thought it was the general who didn't want him, her face turned pale immediately, but she heard Rong Chang'an's voice again.
"You can stay, but you have to tell me what you can do, and I will arrange for you to go there."
Xiao Jiu lowered her head and thought for a while, then said timidly, "I also often go up the mountain, know the mountain road, and then I also know some words."
Rong Changan thought for a while, Xiao Jiu was too young to complete a task alone, "You will be my personal soldier from now on, and only listen to my orders."
"Thank you General, thank you General. I will definitely do well."
While talking, Rong Chang'an asked Xiao Jiu to change clothes. From today on, this is his guard at the door. People who came and went were very curious when they saw a child in military uniform standing at the door of the marshal, and they all made fun of him as they passed by, and gradually became familiar with him. It is rare that there is a child in the army, Xiao Jiu is also lively and cheerful, and everyone likes him very much.
"Xiao Jiu, give this to Deputy General Song Qiang." Xiao Jiu trotted to find Song Qiang's tent, and came back after a while.
"Xiao Jiu, ask Wen Xin, who is in charge of the internal affairs, and ask him to take an inventory of the latest supplies and report to me." Xiao Jiu ran out again, and came back later to give Rong Changan a ledger.
With Xiao Jiu here, everyone was too lazy to run errands. Xiao Jiu is very diligent, and he got to know everyone very well on the first day. What is the position, what is the name, what does it matter, this Xiaojiu is really talented and has an amazing memory!
The next day, Xiao Jiu came to Rong Changan's room early to report, "General, I'm here!"
Rong Changan already knew everyone's evaluation of Xiao Jiu, he is a good boy. She was also puzzled, the old man of the Dai family was a civil servant, and Xiao Jiu was talented and intelligent, how could such a young child come to the barracks. This can't play to his strengths at all! Is there something inside that she doesn't know about
"Xiao Jiu, why did you come to the barracks? Tell the truth!"
Xiao Jiu lowered her head, very low, for a while, choked up and said, "A lot of enemies came that day, and they took my mother away. I searched for a day before I found my mother in the back street. But, I found When my mother was born, she was already dead. They said my mother was bullied, and I want to avenge my mother, I have grown up." Xiao Jiu's eyes were full of tears, and she rubbed her eyes with her hands.
Rong Changan didn't expect this lovely child to have such an experience, and regretted his recklessness, "I didn't ask on purpose, it caused your sadness! Your great-grandfather is a civil servant, and you have a better future in civil service. "
Xiao Jiu shook his head resolutely, "No. I want to learn from Uncle Bai Dashan, with infinite strength, fight the enemy bravely, and beat them back to their nests!"
Rong Chang'an really wanted to hold this child in his arms at this moment, he was such a distressed child!
"Then come to me in the morning and learn martial arts from Uncle Bai Dashan in the afternoon, practice hard, and avenge your mother with your own hands!"
"Thank you, General. I will definitely practice martial arts well and become the number one master."
"Okay, okay, practice hard." Rong Changan didn't mind giving him a chance, whether he can take revenge with his own hands depends on his own chance!
