Although it was Feng Ye who ordered him to go to the posthouse, Yuan Sikong felt uneasy and didn't dare to make rash decisions, so he went to ask Yuan Mao.

Yuanmao can go to the ground today, although it is not convenient to sit. But I saw that he was about to go out.

"Father, you haven't healed yet, where are you going?"

"I'm not in the way. The firecrackers donated by Datong Mansion to Liaodong have arrived, and I'm about to accompany the governor to inspect them."

Yuan Sikong stared wide-eyed: "The firecracker? Is it a single soldier firecracker?"

"Exactly."

The firecracker is an iron cylinder filled with stone, lead or iron bullets and fired with gunpowder. Cannons are considered large firecrackers, but they are too bulky and are usually only used in urban battles, while individual firecrackers can be held by soldiers. They specialize in cavalry. They were invented by the Feng Family Army, and they have heard of them for a long time.

Yuan Sikong said happily: "Great, we have firecrackers!"

Yuan Mao also smiled: "King Jingyuan exchanged five hundred guns for our two thousand horses."

"But none of us can do it."

"King Jingyuan will teach us."

"Father, can Kong'er go and have a look?" Yuan Sikong begged. He really wanted to see the rumored powerful firearm.

"In a few days." Yuan Mao said, "Why didn't you go to the racecourse?"

Only then did Yuan Sikong remember the reason why he came to Yuanmao: "Father, Your Highness asked me to go to his posthouse."

"Why?" Yuan Mao frowned, he was obviously worried that Feng Ye would not let Yuan Sikong go.

"Your Highness went to the racecourse for two days in a row, looking for me..."

"What are you looking for?"

Yuan Sikong scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Kong'er thinks that he might be looking for me to play with."

Yuan Mao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The little highness grew up in the military camp, and it was the first time he saw a man of the right age. He told you to go, so you went. Don't disobey him."

"My son understands, but at the other end of the racecourse, Uncle Xu may be too busy."

"He will send more people, don't worry, just go."

"yes."

Yuan Sikong went to the post house with peace of mind.

When he arrived at the gate of the post house, he hadn't reported to the guard, but the guard had already dragged him in: "Is it Mr. Yuan's son? You are here. Your Highness has been asking all morning."

Yuan Sikong smiled knowingly.

Entering the room, I saw Feng Ye sitting on the large grand teacher's chair, dangling his two calves, and looking at him with his chin raised.

Yuan Sikong knelt down and bowed: "Cao... Sikong has seen His Highness."

"Get up." Feng Ye said, jumped off the teacher's chair, and walked in front of Yuan Sikong.

Yuan Sikong stood up.

Feng Ye pulled his sleeves: "Follow me." There was a hint of joy on his face, but Yuan Sikong didn't see it.

The two entered the inner room, Feng Ye took out a small porcelain jar from the cabinet, and handed it to Yuan Sikong: "Here."

"this is… "

"Dieda plaster, I asked my father for it."

"Your Highness Xie." Yuan Sikong took it. In his eyes, Feng Ye is not only beautiful, but also cuter now.

"Hurry up and paint it on." Feng Ye thought he was being silly, so he simply snatched the small porcelain jar, "I'll help you paint it, and take off your clothes."

"I went back last night and already applied the medicine for reducing stasis and swelling."

"This plaster is very good, don't talk nonsense, you apply this."

"Yes." Yuan Sikong had no choice but to take off his shirt.

Feng Ye saw that the part of the back of his neck connecting the shoulder armor was bruised and swollen, he frowned slightly, dug out some plaster, and gently applied it to the wound.

The medicine soaked into the skin in an instant, and it was cold, even though the room had been burned early, Yuan Sikong couldn't help shivering.

Feng Ye wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to say so, so he pursed his mouth tightly.

After applying the medicine, Yuan Sikong quickly put on his clothes.

Feng Ye curled his lips: "Men from Liaodong, why are you afraid of the cold?"

Yuan Sikong muttered: "I'm still afraid."

Feng Ye threw the plaster into his arms: "Take it home, apply it every morning and evening."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Feng Ye sat aside, staring at him with big black eyes, but didn't speak.

Yuan Sikong felt like laughing. When he first arrived at Yuan's house, Yuan Nanyu was still a little shy and wanted to play with him but didn't dare to take the initiative. Feng Ye's eyes now are exactly the same as Yuan Nanyu's back then.

Just as Yuan Sikong was about to open his mouth, seeing Feng Ye also opened his mouth, the two of them said "ah" at the same time, which was very funny.

Yuan Sikong hurriedly said, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Feng Ye said angrily, "You talk first."

"Uh, what kind of place is Datong Mansion?"

"Hmm... It's quite cold in winter, but cool in summer. Datong's apricots are sweet, and in autumn, yellow flowers are everywhere, and Datong's mutton noodles are especially delicious. I eat them every time..." Feng Ye gestured with his hands, "such a meal Big bowl."

Yuan Sikong was a little yearning: "I really want to visit Datong."

"What about Liaodong?"

"There are mountains, forests, and three-foot-thick snow in Liaodong. In winter, thousands of trees and silver flowers adorn the branches, which is very beautiful. However, there is nothing delicious in the middle of winter. Dad will go up the mountain to hunt some game from time to time."

Feng Ye squinted at him: "You don't know how to eat horses in winter, do you?"

Yuan Sikong hurriedly argued, "We don't eat horses!"

Feng Ye burst out laughing, Yuan Sikong was taken aback, and then laughed too, the distance between the two seemed to have shortened a lot.

Feng Ye's eyes were shining brightly: "I have never been anywhere except Datong. Liaodong is the second place I came to. I heard that there is no snow in the south, and the fish grow bigger than me. When the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, the city is full of fragrance." , the waves are flying, and they are several feet high, and one day, I will go to see it."

Yearning also arose in Yuan Sikong's heart: "If your highness grows a few years older, he will be able to travel around."

Feng Ye shook his head: "If you don't get rid of the barbarians, how can I be content with having fun? I want to assist my father and brother to keep Dasheng's country peaceful for a hundred years."

Yuan Sikong said sincerely: "Your Highness has the world in his heart, it is the blessing of all people." It seems that King Jingyuan has taught his son well, and Dasheng is really likely to guard the world for a hundred years.

Feng Ye smiled contentedly.

"I heard that His Royal Highness grew up in a military camp?"

"Well...not all."

Yuan Sikong looked at him curiously.

"My mother didn't have enough milk when she gave birth to me, so my father found a she-wolf to feed me. One night, when the enemy army attacked the camp in a thick fog and was in chaos, the nurse took me away. I fought with the wolves on the mountain We lived together for nearly three years until my dad found me."

Yuan Sikong was stunned, he couldn't believe that someone could live with wolves, and he was still a baby. He stammered: "Dang, really is a legend..."

Feng Ye shrugged, disapproving: "They treat me like a wolf, and I also thought I was a wolf. I didn't speak until I was five years old."

"...Your mother must miss you very much."

Feng Ye's expression turned gloomy: "I haven't seen my mother. After I disappeared, she was unhappy, and it didn't take long before..."

Yuan Sikong understood the pain of losing a loved one very well, he said softly: "Your mother will watch you from the sky, she will be happy when you live well."

Feng Ye nodded silently.

"Then... you really understand wolf language?"

Feng Ye grinned: "Understood, I raised a lot in Datong Mansion..."

"My wolf." An angry call came from outside the door.

"Father." Feng Ye replied loudly. He waved at Yuan Sikong, "My father is back, let's go."

Yuan Sikong respected and feared King Jingyuan, so he didn't dare to meet him.

Feng Ye saw his thoughts: "What are you afraid of?" He stepped forward and pulled him away.

Feng Jianping was a little surprised to see Yuan Sikong, looked at Feng Ye, and found it funny.

Feng Ye pretended not to see it, while Yuan Sikong knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up." Feng Jianping said, "I just met your father. He accompanied Mr. Li and General Han to check the firecrackers. Why didn't you go?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Caomin is still young and cannot participate in such important matters."

Feng Jianping smiled and said: "I heard that you were selected as a scholar at the age of nine. You are small, but you have a big heart."

Feng Ye looked at Yuan Sikong in surprise.

"The merit of this father, Caomin just followed the scriptures, it's just a fluke."

"Examination of scholars by different departments is based on real talents and learning. How can it be a fluke. One day in the future, if you get a name in the exam, maybe we will be officials in the same dynasty." Feng Jianping pursed his lips, "Young people are awesome."

"His Royal Highness praised you."

Feng Jianping laughed and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's rare for my wolf to meet a playmate of the right age. You don't need to care about the superiority or inferiority, and you don't need to call him your highness, just have fun."

"yes."

Feng Ye showed joy.

"Wolf."

"Father."

"Have you memorized today's military book?"

"Back."

Feng Jianping patted his little head: "Father will test you with a question every day, if you can answer today's question well, father will take you to see firecrackers, how about it?"

Feng Ye's eyes lit up: "Fire gun! Dad, test me quickly!"

Feng Jianping thought for a while: "How about the two armies fighting in scattered places?"

"Scattered land..." Feng Ye thought about it, "Scattered land is one that fights its own land, and it is not easy to fight."

"Why is it not easy to fight?"

"Soldiers stay close to home, love their land, wives and children. When entering, there is no sense of death, and when retreating, there is a place to return."

"What if the enemy insists on fighting?"

Feng Ye blinked his eyes, thinking desperately, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Yuan Sikong stood behind Feng Jianping, mouthing anxiously: "If you can't hold on, you can't count the battles." He has been fascinated by the firecracker for a long time, and he wants to take a look at it anyway, wishing he could answer for Feng Ye.

Feng Ye immediately remembered: "If the enemy fights, I will not fight. When the enemy attacks, I will defend. I will break the army's morale. If there is no city to defend, there will be countless battles. We should recharge our batteries and set up an ambush according to the danger. It depends on the battle."

Feng Jianping turned his head and glanced at Yuan Sikong, Yuan Sikong quickly lowered his head, looking cute.

Feng Ye looked at Feng Jianping nervously.

Feng Jianping didn't expose it, he stood up and said, "Go, take me, Langer, to see the firecrackers."

"Wow!" Feng Ye happily hugged Feng Jianping's waist.

Yuan Sikong's face flashed with excitement.
