The noise at the gate of the county government soon attracted Xu Guichang's attention.
Xu Guichang looked towards the door. This was not important, and he was instantly startled.
"My dear! General Xu, are you here?"
But as soon as I said this, I quickly changed my words.
"No, General Li, you are here. I have admired you for a long time."
However, after Xu Guichang called out the name of the general, these government officials and police officers immediately stepped aside.
Is this a general? No wonder he dared to break into their county government office without permission. Even the lowest general was not comparable to their county government office.
After Xu Guichang and Xu Yunyan met, Xu Guichang waved his hand in a very stylish way.
"You guys should step back and prepare a table of sumptuous food. I want to take care of General Li."
Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "No need. I just came here to hear that you haven't been transferred yet. I came to see you. I didn't come here to eat and drink."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Xu Guichang was so happy.
"General Li, who are we talking to? Do we still need to talk about eating and drinking together? As long as you are here, I have to prepare a table of delicious food for you."
These yamen servants all went out to prepare food, while the group of captains brought by Xu Yunyan stood on both sides of the county yamen, listening to Hou Xu Yunyan's instructions, and put Xu Yunyan and Xu Guichang aside to let them discuss matters.
Xu Guichang and Xu Yunyan had just arrived and sat down in the lobby. Looking at the clean lobby, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but say.
"County Magistrate Xu, I didn't expect that what you did as magistrate was really interesting. The entire Yanmen County was handled properly. There were no difficult problems, let alone any unjust, false or wrong cases."
When Xu Yunyan praised Xu Guichang, Xu Guichang almost felt that his tail was going to rise to the sky as he spoke.
"All I can do is to maintain peace in this county government. If I can't do even this well, I will feel guilty to the folks in Yanmen."
But after Xu Guichang finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Yunyan.
"Brother Li, tell me the truth. Is the imperial court planning to launch troops to the north?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "It is impossible to mobilize troops on a large scale. I am here just to be on guard against any sudden movement by the Turks. If there is a situation, the troops will come to cover up the water and the earth."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Xu Guichang's eyes lit up.
"To put it bluntly, we can still use troops against the Turks, right?"
Xu Yunyan said oh and then changed his words.
"You can say that. It is indeed possible to launch troops against the Turks."
Xu Guichang suddenly became more energetic.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, I only ask you one thing."
Seeing Xu Guichang vowing to beg him here, Xu Yunyan sighed.
"I know what you want me to do, but as a county magistrate, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy? That's not right!"
After Xu Yunyan shook his head here, Xu Guichang still did not give up.
"Why not? Am I really not allowed to follow the general to the battlefield? General, I also went to the battlefield and killed the enemy the last time I defended Yanmen."
"I know, but the defense of the city and the charge of the two armies in the field are completely different things. If you, a civilian official, go to the battlefield, where will you put the dignity of us generals?"
Xu Guichang saw that Xu Yunyan did not agree with him to go to the battlefield no matter what, and he couldn't help but want to cry a little, and said to Xu Yunyan here.
"General Xu, I beg you, just let me go. I want to avenge my wife."
As soon as Xu Guichang said this, Xu Yunyan sighed.
"I understand your feelings. When I go to the battlefield, I will kill some Turks for you and rescue more of our compatriots who have been kidnapped.
Is it okay for you to safely do the logistics work in Yanmen, allocate food and grass for my army, and at the same time prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for the people I may rescue? "
"Why!"
When Xu Guichang heard Xu Yunyan say this, he finally let out a long sigh and said nothing more. His eyes were staring ahead blankly, looking like he wanted to be decadent.
Among the few small Turkic tribes in the North that did not participate in the wolf totem competition, a Turkic man looked at him and blocked a child behind him. A Han woman holding another child in her arms laughed. .
"You two-legged sheep are really capable of giving birth. You gave birth to one in a year, and now there is another one in your belly. Are you giving birth to a Turkic son for us?"
The woman looked at these people and said disgustingly, "You don't want them to be your Turkic son-in-law. Even if they are half of your Turkic blood, I am destined to be the son-in-law of my Han family. When he grows up, he will be like our Han family." Like warriors, we will fight to the death with you Turks."
This girl said this here. Although her skin was tanned and even chapped on the grassland, and she couldn't look like a Han woman wearing fur, her words really made these Turks here haha Laughing loudly.
"So what if you are Han? So what if you are Han? Can you defeat our Turkic warriors? Impossible. If you can really defeat us, why are you here?"
As the Turks talked, they laughed and laughed at her. After the Turks finished laughing at her, they were about to go up and teach her a lesson. When the provincial girl was looking for trouble with them, a Turk stopped her. he.
"Stop! Keep this fertile two-legged sheep for now, and let him give birth to more cubs for me, the Great Turk."
But when Miss Xin heard this, she looked at him even more disgustingly.
"Don't even think about it! You're dreaming! This is my son of the Han family."
"Hahaha, are you still the son of the Han family? When they become wise, I will take them to attack the land where your ancestors lived and capture more two-legged sheep."
After these people said this, they roared loudly and wantonly, and this girl stood here stubbornly. If it weren't for the fact that there was a child in her belly, there was another child in her arms who was only a few months old. Yes, there was a man who was just able to walk blocked behind him, and he had to fight hard.
Seeing these Turks constantly bullying her, this girl is crying here.
"Husband, where are you now? Do you still remember Xiao Fei?"
After the girl said to herself, if Xu Guichang were here, he would definitely be able to recognize her. Isn't this her daughter-in-law Wang Xiaofei, whom she has always wanted to take revenge on? If he were here, he might not be so angry.
Wang Huan, who is far away in Luoyang, is now considered a prominent figure, because his sister married the magistrate of Yanmen County and died in the last defense of Yanmen. Although his brother-in-law was guilty, he had merit in the defense of Yanmen, so the merits and demerits were balanced. I can be considered as a member of an innocent family like Zheng Miaohong. After finding an official's daughter of almost the same rank as his wife, he has been rising through the ranks. Now he is in Luoyang, recording affairs in front of the sixth-rank governor's office, which is considered a relatively good position.
But every time he looked at the north, he couldn't help but sigh.
His wife, Mrs. Gao, looked at him from the side and said, "Husband, why are you so sad?"
Wang Huan said, "I don't know what happened. I looked north and suddenly thought of my late sister and my brother-in-law who are still serving as county magistrates in Yanmen. It's really hard for this young couple."
When Wang Huan said this, Mrs. Gao was here to comfort him.
"My husband is blessed to have such a brother-in-law who serves the country so loyally. Although he has not been promoted, it is commendable that he can stay in this bitter and cold place of Yanmen in the north. I believe that the court will never forget his contribution." Wang Huan said to Gao I agree very much with what he said.
"What Madam said is true. The court will not forget his contribution, but it seems that the court has forgotten the contributions of some people."
Wang Huan didn't know whether it was because he was depressed or because he suffered injustice today. He just said this to his wife, but his wife Gao was frightened.
"Husband, be careful what you say! There are some things you can't say so casually."
Wang Huan shook his head, looking fearless.
"Don't worry, madam, there are only two of us here, why can't we let our husband complain for the rest of his life? What's more, the one I am complaining about is not myself, nor my sister.
But I used to have a close friend of mine, Xu Yunyan. I don’t know what is happening to Xu Yunyan now. There has been no news since he went to Chang’an and became the guard of the Xuanwu Gate. I don't dare to go to Beijing and write a letter to inquire. "
As soon as Wang Huan finished speaking, his wife Gao Shi started speaking.
"Guardian of Xuanwu Gate? Isn't this your Majesty's confidant? Why do you need to be so worried?"
Mrs. Gao looked at Wang Huan and asked doubtfully.
Wang Huan smiled bitterly.
"Yes, the Xuanwu Gate guard is indeed His Majesty's confidant, but a Xuanwu Gate guard like him is the Xuanwu Gate guard during the Wude period!"
"ah!"
After Wang Huan said this, Mrs. Gao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she covered her mouth with one hand.
"How could this be so? Why does my husband still have such a friend? It would be better not to contact him in the future. I am not advising my husband to be cold-blooded, but for the sake of our son and father, he should bear the pain and forget this friend who has not been in contact for too long. ."
What Gao said was very reasonable, but Wang Huan couldn't bear it.
"It's just that there is no definite news about him, and I always feel uneasy. I am still a little unwilling to be here. If I know what happened to him, it would be good to erect a monument without words and pay tribute when something happens."
Mrs. Gao also breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Huan relaxed.
"What my husband said is true, how about erecting an anonymous monument for him?"
"How did this happen?"
Wang Huan was startled after his wife said this.
"I don't know what my friend is like now, so I will erect a monument without a word for him. If he is still fine now, won't it cost him his life?"
"Husband, you don't understand."
Here Gao advised: "If there is a ranking of immortality, even if he has nothing to do now, you can set a ranking for him without talking about his affairs, just burn a few sticks of incense for him on weekdays and pray for good luck, safety and health." What’s unreasonable? Even if the general encounters something unexpected, he will have somewhere to go and will not be a lonely ghost."
Wang Huan couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart when he heard this.
"Thank you madam for clearing up the confusion. My husband is going to sit in such a seat tomorrow. I just wonder if I can put a small seat at home, okay?"
Gao said with a smile, "Since you are your husband's friend, it's fine as long as you have no name or surname. If someone asks, your husband still needs to think about how to say it."
"This is simple. If anyone asks..."
Wang Huan didn't even think about it and just said, "Don't I have a sister who has passed away? I can also build a monument to give peace of mind to my brother-in-law."
Wang Huan also said this, and the Gao family beat him in his arms.
"You are really glib. Did you lie to me in everything you said to me before? You were so sweet."
Just when the two of them were chatting with each other, a child's cry in the distance woke them up.
"No more fuss, no more fuss, let's go see the kids first."
