"Che, what the king of the mountain," the fat lady got up and squeezed some pieces of minced meat on the wooden pier for chopping the meat for the little tiger cubs to eat, "their family can't be done since his grandfather's generation."
"Brother Hao is a martial artist, but he uses it to kill pigs. Don't you feel inferior?" Mu Hanzhang sat down on the wooden bench in the yard, took the meat, and put it in his hand for the little tiger to eat.
Mrs. Fatty glanced at him and said angrily, "That bastard listens to me in everything, but he refuses to listen. I told him to take the martial arts exam, but he just didn't go, and he knew that killing pigs is really true. No prospects!"
Hearing this, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips lightly. The lady seemed rude, but she was actually very careful. She had long known that they were here to persuade Hao Dadao to let him come in to wash the tiger, but in fact, she was persuading them not to insist: "Sister-in-law. Sure enough, he is a reasonable person, but now that the world has changed and times have changed, even if the ancestor of the Hao family was a general of the previous dynasty, the Taizu always praised him and did not make the Hao family a rebel. And brother Hao was born in the Dachen Dynasty. Naturally, he is a citizen of the Chen Dynasty, so he can make contributions and build a career with his own abilities."
When the fat lady heard this, she looked down at the little tiger eating, but didn't answer.
The little tiger shook off the drenched fur, and the meat was deliciously sweet. However, the teeth were not aligned, and there would be an empty space when biting, so he had to bite in another direction.
Seeing that it was eating happily, Mu Hanzhang didn't bother, just spread out the cloth towel and let the sun shine on the small body to dry the fur: "Sister-in-law is so diligent and thrifty that she is only rich in her whole life. Butcher. I don't know if my sister-in-law has ever thought about it, if they have children in the future, will they still be butchers?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Fatty couldn't help but start to get angry again: "I scold him every day for this, even if I go to be a head arrester, there is no hope for the children in the future. This is good, no one dares to marry a son and a butcher or a daughter. !"
"Sister-in-law must also know our intention. The prince is a person who cherishes talents. If a military general who is not from an aristocratic family wants to achieve something, it is best to follow the prince." Mu Hanzhang held the full tiger in his arms. Wipe him in.
"Huh..." The little tiger was lying in Mu Hanzhang's arms, and at first there was some resistance, but when the soft and slender hand stroked its fur again and again, it gradually became quiet, and the little tiger cub, who had been frightened for a day and a night, fell asleep.
Seeing that the timing was about the same, Mu Hanzhang said that it is not good to talk too much, so he stood up with the hair ball in his arms, "This matter is not forced by the lord, it is a pity that Brother Hao is talented, so he came here on purpose. It's just a march. On the way, there is no delay, we will be leaving tomorrow, if Big Brother Hao really doesn’t want to, then that’s fine.” After speaking, he put a piece of silver on the rattan chair, which is money to help wash the little tiger and the pieces of meat. After waiting for the fat lady to say anything, she turned around and walked out.
After Jingshao and the others left, Madam Fatty grabbed Hao Dadao by the ear and dragged him into the house.
"Madam, what you say is really reasonable, but this is the king who is violent and moody, so he will be his subordinate. Once the battle for the crown prince is brought to the table, there will only be a dead end." Hao Dadao sat on the chair in anguish. , He has also heard the words of the gentleman today. Born as a citizen of Dachen, he should serve his court and support his court, and the previous dynasty was too far away from him, perhaps his persistence all along may not be right. Heroes are useless, and he himself has not felt depressed all these years, but King Cheng is really not a good master.
"That's not what I said. I think he treats the military advisor very well, and even buys him a tiger. I think it is much better for a master who treats his subordinates as his daughter-in-law than those phony literati!" A trip to Shanxia Village shows her sincerity. Besides, they will be leaving tomorrow. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. The fat lady is a little anxious.
"Wow~" Lying on the roof, the little tiger was scratching on the sheets under him excitedly, and Jing Shao pinched the restless hairball: "If you make trouble again, I will throw you down!"
The little tiger struggled, turned his head to bite, but his neck was too short to reach, so he had to wave his limbs around.
"Hey, it's a little boy!" Jing Shao stretched out a finger and poked the little tiger whip hidden in the white fluff of his abdomen.
"Really?" Mu Hanzhang, who was leaning on Jing Shao's arm, looked up and couldn't see clearly, so he reached out and put the little tiger in the gap between the two.
"Ow~" The little tiger was placed on his back, very unhappy, he grabbed the quilt and turned over, and directed his butt at the two who were groping on him.
"Where are we going to send it?" Holding the long dangling tail, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips a little reluctantly. It was outrageous to bring a useless tiger cub on the march. Really a little reluctant.
Seeing the reluctance of his own princess, Jing Shao, who had planned to buy it for him to play with, hooked his lips: "Kiss me and I'll let you raise it."
"Really?" Mu Hanzhang turned to look at him.
Jing Shao nodded solemnly, closed his eyes and pointed to his lips. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement of the people around him, just as he was about to open his eyes, he slowly felt a warm breath getting closer, and then, something cool, soft and fluffy touched the corner of his mouth. . He opened his eyes suddenly, and met a pair of innocent amber eyes, "Wow?".
Looking up, Mu Hanzhang, who was holding the little tiger, fell on top of him with a smile.
The next day, when Jing Shao went again, the fat lady was chopping meat at the pork stall, and there was an extra horse next to her.
"You are here!" The fat lady was very happy when she saw the two of them. She was always afraid that they would lose their patience and left today. She wiped her hands on the apron, "I'll call him!" After speaking, she turned around and entered the room. There was a commotion inside, and after a long time, Hao Dadao, who was carrying the family's original Hunyuan sword, was dragged out by his wife.
Jing Shao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the somewhat reluctant Hao Dadao: "Big Brother Hao is willing to go out and help me, Xiao Wang is really lucky!" His sincere tone, without losing the heroism of a general, made people feel good.
"Your Majesty praised him, but Hao is just brute force. It's a shame that your Majesty can afford it." Hao Dadao felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly said that Cheng Wang was young, but he was very calm and capable in speaking and doing things. He remembered that day in the butcher's shop. The content of the detailed discussion with him alone cannot be said that he is really a clear master. Let's hang out with him for a while.
"I'll go to the army to find you when I get this pork shop out." The fat lady waved the pig-killing knife in her hand to the three who mounted on the horse. "I can fight with these two pig-killing knives!"
On the return journey, he had to catch up with the detouring team as soon as possible, so Hao Dadao took them along the mountain road and crossed the Dahang Mountain to intercept the head of the team.
Jing Shao was in a very good mood when he got Hao Dadao. Among the three vassal kings, the King of Huainan was the most difficult to deal with. That man did not lose his scheming, and even surpassed him in some conspiracy methods. Even though the Huainan army was not as large as the imperial army, it still let him return repeatedly. If it wasn't for Hao Dadao's help back then, the Huainan feudal lands would not have been beaten down in ten or eight years. Now that he has been acquired in advance, the time to fight the southwest and southeast will be greatly shortened.
Hao Dadao glanced strangely at Mu Hanzhang, who was sitting in front of the lord with a horse in the same city: "Why doesn't the military advisor ride his own horse?"
"His horsemanship is not good, and he usually rides a carriage on the march." Jing Shao explained.
Mu Hanzhang carried him with his elbow. He was very good at horsemanship, but Jingshao never allowed him to ride by himself, he always felt that he would fall.
Hao Dadao glanced at them disapprovingly. Since the prince has already married his wife, it is really not good to have such an ambiguous behavior with the military advisor. So out of sight is pure first to clear the way in front.
"This little tiger hasn't been named yet, so what's it called?" Seeing Hao Dadao walking in front, Mu Hanzhang relaxed and leaned on the chest of the man behind him. Tiger cub with little black mane.
"My name is Xiao Huang." Jing Shao freed up a hand and flicked the fluffy round head.
"Wow!" The little tiger shook his head, and hugged Jing Shao's hand in dissatisfaction and gnawed hard, but his teeth were not even, and his fingers were always stuck between the two teeth, making the little guy whimper in a hurry.
"It sounds like it was named for a cat." Mu Hanzhang frowned.
"The livestock in the palace are all juniors!" Jing Shao pointed at Xiao Hei, who was walking with his head down, with his chin.
"Little..." Mu Hanzhang swallowed the small spoon that came to his mouth, "Xiao Huang, that's fine."
With a short cut through the trail, the three of them crossed the Dahang Mountain in less than a day, took a break in the small town next to the official road, and went straight to chase the army.
Back at the barracks, Mu Hanzhang was a little worried that Zhao Meng and the others would reject Hao Dadao. Who knew that when Zhao Meng saw his Hunyuan Dao, he would try it out. Jing Shao gave him a reassuring look. The so-called people gather together. In fact, these five big and three rough men are the easiest to get along with. With just a test or a jar of spirits, they will soon be known as brothers.
The two quickly made gestures in the open space in front of the tent, attracting many people to stop and watch.
The Right Hujun, who was watching the excitement, saw the yellow hairy head in the arms of the military advisor, and eagerly approached: "Master, what is this?"
"Wow?" The little tiger who was sleeping soundly was awakened, opened a pair of big hazy eyes to look at him, and his round fur ears were turned over in sleep, which was quite funny.
"Yo! Tiger cub!" Right Hujun cried out in surprise, grabbed the little tiger and held it in front of him to look carefully.
"Ow~" The little tiger recognized his life and struggled endlessly, but the tiger was too weak to break free, so he raised his tiny hairy paws, and it was a paw according to the handsome face of the right guard.
"Ouch!" The right guard was caught off guard, screaming in pain, and subconsciously letting go of his hand, the little tiger cub fell to the ground.
It was too late, but Mu Hanzhang was about to pick it up, when an afterimage passed by, and the yellow hair ball had landed safely in Ge Ruoyi's arms.
