After Jin Er left, Xiang Han glanced at Xu Yanze and asked, "What were you two talking about just now? You were sneaking around."
"It's nothing, it's about him wanting to be a captain." Xu Yanze said half-truth, then put his hand on his waist, rubbed it gently, and asked his ear: "Does it still hurt there? How about some medicine in the house?"
The warm air penetrated into the ears, bringing a tingling itching. Xiang Han blushed, his earlobe was about to bleed, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the medicine?"
Xu Yanze hurriedly presented the treasure, and said nonsense with his eyes open: "I specially asked the doctor in Huichun Hall to make it up, and all the herbs are of the highest quality."
Xiang Han suddenly said angrily: "So you planned it long ago?"
"Uh..." Seems self-defeating
Xu Yanze paused with a smile, and quickly defended: "What kind of premeditation is there? I saw that you were uncomfortable last time, so I specially asked the doctor to prepare it. Besides, this time it wasn't you... who took the initiative first?"
"Okay, I'll do it myself." Xiang Han interrupted quickly, grabbing the jade box. When he mentioned what happened last night, he couldn't help being depressed for a while, he almost succeeded, okay
"You really don't need my help?" Xu Yanze looked regretful and tried hard to fight for it.
"Need not."
"What do you need help with? The third brother might as well say it, and see if the eldest brother can help."
Just as Xiang Han was about to stand up, he suddenly heard Jin Da's voice from the courtyard door, and immediately fell back, grinning in pain.
"Need not!"
After the pain passed, the two refused almost at the same time. Xu Yanze's face was a little dark, and he asked with a half-smile: "Why is the eldest brother here?"
"Hey, didn't I hear that you are unwell, come and have a look." Jin Da said, put a box of old ginseng on the table, and after talking about it for a while, he got to the point: "Brother Yan, listen Said that you really let the second child be the captain?"
"Is there such a thing?" Xiang Han turned to look at Xu Yanze.
Xu Yanze was playing with the box, when he heard the words, he quickly raised his head and said, "Where did you hear this? I said let him be the corps leader first, and then he will be promoted to the captain when he is capable."
Xiang Han nodded with satisfaction, feeling that this was not too bad. As far as Jin Er's indeterminate temperament is concerned, if he directly becomes the captain, he may cause trouble, so it's better to sharpen it.
"But I heard that you still plan to make him a general?" Jin Dahu asked.
"Oh, this... If you have the ability, of course you can be a general." Xu Yanze smiled on his face and cursed inwardly, this Jin Er really didn't know the severity, he should put a lock on his mouth. How long has it been since you left him, and everyone knows about it
"Hey, let me just say, if his kid can be a general, I can also be a commander in chief." Jin Da had such an expression on his face, and then leaned forward again, and said embarrassedly: "That... Brother, since you have made the second brother the captain, give the elder brother a position too. The requirements are not high, as long as you are taller than the second brother."
Xu Yanze was in a hurry to help Xiang Han with the medicine, but he couldn't help but smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother, you are not suitable for serving in the army, why bother?"
"How can it be called inappropriate? When Xue Qinglin arrested a strong man, he wanted every man, why can't I?" Jin Da was a little disappointed.
Hearing what he said, Xiang Han couldn't help shaking his head: "Brother, the young men captured by Xue Qinglin are all going to the front to block arrows. Could it be that you joined the army just to be like them?"
"But second..."
"Brother." Xu Yanze also interrupted him, saying: "During the time in the Escort, I believe you can also see it. The second brother has good physical strength, is suitable for martial arts training, and he can learn quickly in marching and deploying defenses, so I agreed with him to join the army. .”
"Then I'm not as good as him?" Jin Da blushed.
"This... people have their own strengths, why do you have to be serious with your second brother on what he is good at?" Xiang Han persuaded, and Xu Yanze nodded accordingly.
After hearing this, Jin Da said: "But I don't know what I'm suitable for. I used to go to brothels with my second child, and I didn't see that he was better than me?"
As a human being, I am afraid of being compared. In the past, when the three brothers were all unsuccessful, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now that the other two have things to do, he can't help feeling lost.
Xiang Han thought for a while and said, "Why don't you learn from my father first, and if it doesn't suit you, then change to something else?"
"Okay." Jin Da immediately agreed happily, working with the third uncle, there must be a lot of people in charge. There are only four people under the old and second hand, hahaha.
Jin Da was very satisfied, and before leaving, he couldn't help but say another word: "Then what, third brother, do you really need help with anything?"
"No, no." Xiang Han shook his head again and again, Xu Yanze got up directly, pushed him out of the hospital, then called Jin Cui, and ordered: "If someone comes later, just say that the young master and I have rested."
Afterwards, because Xue Qinglin sent people to urge them, and because there were many refugees and bandits among the 50,000 people, it was not suitable for him to stay in the city for a long time, so Xu Yanze had no choice but to leave the Jin Mansion the next day and drag the team outside the pass.
Before leaving, he hugged Xiang Han tightly, and said reluctantly: "This trip is estimated to take several months to return, and it is only two hours away from Jinzhou outside the pass. If you have spare time, remember to visit me more often. Go from Zhang Yong's side, and bring more people from the escort agency. By the way, the wind and sand over there are heavy, so remember to wear thicker clothes... "
Xiang Han looked helpless, and wanted to say, I haven't promised to see you yet. But seeing that he was so caring, he couldn't bear to be beaten, so he nodded and said, "Well, I will write a letter before I go."
"Okay, a few days earlier, I'll take someone to pick you up."
Finally, Xiang Han couldn't hold back, rolled his eyes and said, "It only takes two hours to ride a horse, you can take someone to Jinzhou to pick it up."
Xu Yanze smiled, bowed his head and kissed his lips, then couldn't hold back, and pressed his head again, aggravating the kiss. He didn't let go until Xiang Han gasped a little, stretched out his thumb to press on his full lips, and said in a low voice, "Then I'm leaving?"
"Let's go." Xiang Han waved his hand.
"You don't even give it away?" Xu Yanze was very disappointed.
Xiang Han said helplessly, "Do you want to send it outside the customs?"
"That's not necessary, if you are sent outside the customs, I have to send you back..."
"Okay, okay, don't get bored. Hurry up and try to replace Xue Qinglin as soon as possible." Xiang Han said while pushing him.
Xu Yanze was pushed back step by step, and after leaving the courtyard, he deliberately said: "The 'little fool' in the boudoir doesn't know how to worry."
The corner of Xiang Han's mouth twitched slightly. After he left, he went back and lay down for another day before starting to help Father Jin take care of the food and grass.
After Xu Yanze pulled the team out of the pass, he quickly started farming, and even circled the horse farm, without worrying about the Turkic attack at all. Soldiers usually farm and train, but if the Turks come to harass them, they practice actual combat.
After several times, those refugees and bandits were also trained to look good.
But the group of imperial guards from the capital were in some trouble. Their families were all in the capital, and many of them were the emperor's eyeliner. They were a little arrogant and didn't want to farm at all.
Xu Yanze gave them time to adapt at first, but later saw that they would not accept what was soft and hard, so he simply implemented distribution according to work. If you don’t work, then don’t eat.
The imperial army was not used to the water and soil outside the pass, and they didn't have enough to eat. After a few training sessions, everyone was exhausted. Especially in several battles with the Turks, his performance was not very good, and his arrogance was gradually worn down.
Half a month later, Xiang Han and Jin Da escorted the food and grass together. When passing by Zhang Yong's territory, he delivered rations for 10,000 people as promised. Zhang Yong was very happy and personally sent someone to escort them outside the pass.
Xu Yanze went to greet him early, and when he saw Xiang Han coming out of the carriage, he suddenly held his hand, then pinched his waist with the other hand, and carried him directly to the horse, regardless of the shocked gazes of Jin Da, Jin Er and others, Directly rode the horse and swung the whip, and left in the dust.
Held in his arms, Xiang Han looked at the endless grassland with some excitement, and couldn't help but say, "Every day I'm not in the Jin Mansion, or at the grain store or rice shop, I forget how vast the world is."
Xu Yanze hugged him tighter, feeling the wind whizzing past his ears, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Do you want to try Ma Zhen?"
"Uh... what is that?" Xiang Han pretended not to understand.
Xu Yanze let out a muffled laugh, and deliberately leaned into his ear to explain.
Xiang Han'ergen gradually blushed, and said nervously, "Can you consider the horse's feelings?"
Xu Yanze burst out laughing suddenly, couldn't help but rubbed his head, and said, "You're kidding, if you do this kind of thing right away, it will kill you if you're not careful."
Seeing that Xiang Han'ergen was even more red after speaking, he couldn't help but add: "However, if you feel sorry, we can hire someone to make a Trojan horse... Hey, why does this word sound a bit wrong?"
Xiang Han's neck turned red in an instant, but Xu Yanze deliberately asked, "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
"Get out!" Xiang Han finally couldn't hold back, and hit him hard with his elbow.
Xu Yanze bent over immediately, and hissed in pain. Seeing that Xiang Han wanted to do it again, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold it down, and persuaded nervously: "Don't do it, if you fall, you will have to lie down for half a year if you don't die."
Xiang Han withdrew his arm sullenly, and said viciously, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"What did I say?" Xu Yanze looked innocent and refused to admit it: "Maybe you were thinking about it."
Xiang Han was overwhelmed by his shamelessness, and willingly bowed down and said, "Okay, I won't argue with you, just let me go."
Xu Yanze accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Wait until you go back, okay? Dismount here, what if the Turkic people come?"
After finishing speaking, regardless of Xiang Hantong's disagreement, he hugged him tightly, turned his horse's head and returned to the station.
When he got off the horse, Xiang Han's legs were a little numb, and he couldn't stand still for a while. Xu Yanze stepped forward to help, but was ruthlessly thrown away, and couldn't help touching his nose.
At this time, the truck transporting grain and grass had just arrived, Xiang Han limped over and said with a dark face, "Hurry up and finish unloading, and then go back."
"In such a hurry?" Xu Yanze was a little surprised, and finally realized that he seemed to have really pissed off his wife, and hurriedly persuaded: "It's getting dark, it's not safe to go back. Besides, everyone is tired after transporting so much food and grass. Rest for a few days and then…”
Xiang Han ignored him, turned around and ordered: "Everyone, move faster, set up the tent before dark, rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning."
Xu Yanze couldn't help touching his nose again, not daring to say more.
Jin Er couldn't help muttering to Jin Da: "That's why men must never marry. Look at my brother-in-law, even if he becomes a general, so what, isn't he just like a little wife in front of the third brother?"
Jin Da looked at him in shock, and said, "Are you stupid? They are obviously under the third brother, right?"
"How is it possible?" Jin Er couldn't help arguing: "My brother-in-law was not feeling well after the incident, and he asked me for ointment, obviously he was in charge."
"How is it impossible?" Jin Da couldn't help arguing: "Look at the appearance of the third brother when he just got off the horse, it is obvious... what happened just now, brother Yan is much more normal."
After hearing this, Jin Er was a little uncertain, but he still asked suspiciously: "Impossible, they can finish the job so soon?"
Jin Da: "Uh, it seems a little fast."
Neither of the two could convince the other, and they became anxious at the end of the argument, and decided to listen to the wall and confirm their respective guesses.
But after dark, the two touched Xu Yanze's tent, and felt a little guilty.
Jin Da: "Are you sure you're okay? It would be too embarrassing if you were caught by patrol."
Jin Er: "Don't worry, I know the station very well."
In the tent, Xu Yanze finally coaxed Xiang Han to be happy, and then threw him down happily. When he was quickly taking off his clothes, Xiang Han suddenly pressed his hand and asked, "Is there any sound?"
"It's windy, it's windy outside the pass." Xu Yanze withdrew his hand and started from the collar instead.
Xiang Han patted the back of his hand again, and said, "There is really a voice, who is speaking."
Xu Yanze heard it too, so he had no choice but to let go of him first, straightened his clothes and said, "Don't move, I'll go out and have a look."
After arriving outside the tent, Xu Yanze didn't take a few steps when he saw Jin Da and Jin Er lying there sneakily, and whispered, "Why is there no movement?"
"Could it be that the third brother and the others are really faster, and it's over?"
"Can it be so fast?"
"You two, what are you doing lying around here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Xu Yanze suddenly kicked one over and asked with a dark face.
The two of them said 'Ouch', and after being caught, they both felt a little guilty.
Jin Er's eyes fluttered for a while, and then he became wise: "That... I will watch the night tonight."
Upon hearing this, Jin Day hurriedly made up: "I'll come with you to see and see."
"yes?"
"Yeah!" The two nodded their heads.
Xu Yanze smiled, but his voice was a little cold: "I see, since you like watching the night so much, then don't rest tonight, watch until dawn."
"Ah?" Jin Er looked like a mourning concubine.
Jin Da was also dumbfounded, and quickly defended after recovering: "Well, brother Yan, I'm not your soldier, I'm just here to see and see..."
Xu Yanze smiled and said, "I know, so go ahead and read it a few times."
"wait!"
Jin Da still wanted to struggle, but Xu Yanze didn't listen, and turned directly to the night watch team who came in a hurry, and ordered: "These two people will watch the night with you tonight, and when the guard changes, tell the person who takes over. The two don't rest."
"No, Brother Yan, I..." Jin Da still wanted to struggle for death, but when he turned around, he saw that Jin Er had resigned himself to his fate and joined the night watch team, and he was speechless.
"Why are you so obedient?" Jin Da said to Jin Er bitterly after being carried into the team by two burly soldiers.
"Soldiers must obey orders." Jin Er said Xu Yanze's mantra with his chest upright, but soon, when others were not paying attention, he whispered: "This is called knowing the current affairs. If you don't listen to it just now, you will definitely be punished." It's even worse, accept your fate."
Jin Da: "..." He was suddenly glad that he didn't come to join the army.
When Xu Yanze returned to the tent, his face was still dark.
Xiang Han wrapped himself in a quilt and asked, "Is it the eldest brother or the second brother?"
When Xu Yanze heard this, his face became even darker: "The two of them are really promising, and they actually came to listen to the wall."
Xiang Han curled his lips and said, "If you haven't done anything, what are you afraid they will listen to?"
Xu Yanze didn't want to continue this topic, and when he was interrupted just now, he was full of anger.
But at this moment, it was no different than before, as soon as he pounced on him, Xiang Han pushed him away, frowned and said, "What if they come again?"
"I asked them to watch the night." Xu Yanze hugged him again, and began to pull the quilt.
Xiang Han grabbed the quilt tightly, and said: "There is a little movement inside the tent, which can be heard outside, and the night watchmen will pass by."
Xu Yanze: "But I have endured it for so long..."
"Use your hands, keep your voice down." Xiang Han suggested earnestly, and then wrapped in a quilt and rolled to the side to sleep.
Xu Yanze was dumbfounded. Seeing that Xiang Han really ignored him, he had no choice but to slap him with resentment: If it wasn't for Jin Da and Jin Er, he would be... oh.
The next day, Xu Yanze took people out for training early in the morning, and Jin Er was among them. Jin Er was very depressed. It's been a whole night, why hasn't his brother-in-law calmed down
After Xiang Han got up, he found that Jin Da was sleeping like a pig, so he had to postpone his departure again.
Xu Yanze guessed that he hadn't left, so he persuaded him after he came back: "It's rare to come here, why don't you stay for a few more days, there is a horse farm here, how about I teach you how to ride a horse?"
Xiang Han snorted softly and thought to himself: Do you still need to teach me? I learned it in the last world.
"Go to the racecourse." He held his head up and said with some pride.
Xu Yanze hurriedly led the way to the racecourse. He originally wanted to help Xiang Han choose a docile pony, but Xiang Han picked a maroon horse himself, jumped up and galloped around the racecourse for several laps before stopping in front of Xu Yanze . After getting off the horse, he deliberately raised his chin to look at Xu Yanze, like a proud peacock,
Xu Yanze only felt that he was extremely dazzling at the moment, and wished he could be crushed in his arms.
When the two returned to the station, Jin Da finally woke up and was idly watching the soldiers arrange their weapons. Seeing Xiang Han coming back, he hurriedly got up and said, "Third brother, I don't think I'm very interested in settling accounts and managing food."
"This..." Hearing this, Xiang Han felt a little distressed.
At this time, the soldiers who were sorting out their weapons happened to find that a repeating crossbow was broken. There were few of these things, and the soldiers hurriedly reported it when they saw it was broken. The officer in charge of statistics picked it up and looked at it, and then regretted: "It can't be repaired."
Jin Da had been looking at it for a while, when he heard this, he suddenly said, "Let me have a look."
Xiang Han glanced at Xu Yanze, then looked at each other. Half an hour later, Jin Da actually repaired the Broken Crossbow.
Xiang Han couldn't help but ask, "Brother? How do you know how to repair?"
Jin Da said embarrassingly: "When I was young, I liked to hunt birds and roast them, but my parents forbade me to do it myself."
"That's okay?" Xiang Han was even more surprised.
Jin Da said again: "There is a lame old carpenter in the east of the city, who was arrested as a young man. I learned from him for a few days."
"That's amazing." Xiang Han thought for a while and said, "Brother, I know what you are suitable for."
Not long after, Xu Yanze's army suddenly established a weapons research and development department, and Jin Da became a key member.
When returning to Jinzhou, Xiang Han patted Xu Yanze on the shoulder and said: "My two stupid brothers are handed over to you. After returning to Jinzhou, I plan to take the caravan out to help you get some ironware. It will take about a few days." Can't come for a month."
Xu Yanze knew that he couldn't stop him, so he patted his head with a sigh and said, "Bring more people, be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Even if he can't, there is still a system, right
Xiang Han was very confident. When no one was paying attention, he suddenly kissed Xu Yanze on the cheek, then quickly retreated, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Xu Yanze was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Xiang Han had already whipped his horse and left with the convoy.
In the capital, after the emperor learned that Xu Yanze had trained a group of refugees and bandits, he didn't say anything. He also felt that Xu Yanze's subordinates were too few, it would be better to have more, so that Xue Qinglin could be restrained. Furthermore, refugees and bandits already caused uneasiness among the people, but Xu Yanze's move helped him solve the hidden danger.
But when he heard that he returned his troops to Zhang Yong, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said nothing.
The third prince was a little anxious, and couldn't help persuading him: "Royal father, this Yan Xiaoze simply doesn't take you seriously, how dare he recruit troops privately, and form a party with Zhang Yong for personal gain."
But the emperor said: "Why do you do it privately? Just cut it first and then play it."
The third prince was a little puzzled, and the emperor said: "There are my confidants in the forbidden army, everyone can guess this. If Yan Xiaoze really wanted to hide it from me, he could have done it more secretly, and even sent the forbidden army out. But he didn't , It can be regarded as a disguised statement."
The third prince hesitated for a moment, then said: "But this person is unruly, I'm afraid he will be another Xue Qinglin in the future."
"Then let's talk about it later, let them fight first." The emperor waved his hand, then changed the subject and asked, "How is your arrangement for the Turkic prince?"
When the third prince heard this, he couldn't help smiling confidently, and replied: "Father, don't worry, I have sent someone to secretly send him back to Turkic."
Xue Qinglin soon learned that the eldest prince had returned to the royal court, and angrily dropped a set of cups. Immediately afterwards, when he learned that the extra 30,000 people that Xu Yanze had brought out were just refugees and bandits, and that they had recruited another 20,000 people recently, he was so angry that he even dropped the teapot.
"Didn't I ask you to investigate it a long time ago, why did you report it now?" Xue Qinglin asked panting.
The subordinate tremblingly said: "The little one said it once before, but Jie Shuai..."
"You mean, it's all my fault?"
"The little ones dare not!"
"roll!"
After driving everyone away, Xue Qinglin sat at the table panting for a while, wanting to drink some tea to soothe his throat, but when he lowered his head, he saw only fragments of the teapot, and shouted again: "Where did everyone die?"
At this time, Mei came in with soothing tea, and she persuaded him softly, which made him calm down quickly.
Now the Turks are in chaos, the eldest prince has only returned to the royal court, and has not yet become the king of the Turks. Xue Qinglin immediately decided that this matter must be acted first, and the hidden danger should be resolved as soon as possible. But in order to preserve their strength, Xu Yanze and Zhang Yong had to play forward.
When the advisers around Xue Qinglin learned of this, the military order had already been issued, and they rushed to dissuade them. But Xue Qinglin drank Mei's Anshen Tea, and now he was soundly asleep, so he had no time to see him.
