"General, please give the order. I will definitely use my life to complete it." Xia Xiaoba said excitedly. The prince finally remembered him. He had been standing on the city wall for half a year. Every time he watched his brothers leading troops to chase the enemy, he would He was extremely envious, now he finally had a chance to go into battle and defeat the enemy.
Shi Tingyu nodded, quite satisfied with Xia Xiaoba, "Take two hundred personal guards to Xiaohan Mountain and bring back the food."
"Ah!" Xia Xiaoba almost didn't react. What did he ask him to do?
Transporting food?
Xia Xiaoba's face suddenly turned bitter, "No!" What he wants is to lead troops to kill the enemy and be a majestic general, not to be a quartermaster pulling food! When a group of brothers found out that he was going to transport grain, they still laughed so much that they dropped their pants.
Didn’t Commander Huang just come back to Beijing to urge food supplies? Why let him go to Xiaohan Mountain to collect food?
The Xiaohan Mountain area is vast and sparsely populated, where does the food come from?
I miss my sister.
Looking at Xia Xiaoba's expression, Shi Tingyu knew that he was unwilling, so he had to say seriously: "This matter is very important. If you fail, I will let Xia Wu go in person."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoba suddenly became energetic and said hurriedly: "General, I'll go."
The mission that Fifth Brother can take must be a big mission, a big responsibility that affects all soldiers, and is much more important than chasing a few poor bandits.
"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely complete the mission."
Xia Xiaoba left the camp with excitement and quietly found his brother Xia Wu: "Fifth brother, why don't I know where the food in Xiaohan Mountain comes from?"
He is still in a fog, and the prince's expression is cautious and he will not lie to him, but he really doesn't know that there is food in Xiaohan Mountain!
"After the last time the food and grass were burned, the prince asked people to plant food in Xiaohan Mountain. This is very important. You have to be careful to pull the food back. There can't be any mistakes, otherwise we will come to see you." Xia Wu Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly gave his brother some advice.
Xia Wu looked solemn, thinking about how important food and grass were, and he was very worried when the prince handed over such an important task to Xiaoba.
"But why did the prince ask Deputy General Huang to go back to Beijing to collect food?" How much food can be brought to the northwest?
Xia Wu sighed helplessly. He had no choice but to deal with this younger brother who was as stupid as a piece of elm wood. He pointed his hand upwards at the capital and pointedly said: "General Huang is that person."
"Ah!" Xia Xiaoba finally understood and was stunned for a moment. He was surprised because he knew who the fifth brother had not mentioned.
General Huang turned out to be Liu Ce's man.
Unbelievable.
In an instant, he understood that the Crown Prince sent General Huang back to the capital, apparently to increase food supply, but in reality it was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
He knew that his eldest son was going to dig a hole for Liu Shoufu.
The urgent war in the northwest. People far away in Pingcheng did not know that Pingcheng, far away from the battlefield, was actually a peaceful and peaceful scene.
The backyard of the prefect's house was even more lively today.
The sky cleared up, and the ladies of Pingcheng's wealthy families gathered at the magistrate's house to attend the 100-day banquet for the young master who was the direct descendant of the Peng family.
The wife of the prefect, Xu Sheng, had not given birth to a child for many years. Suddenly, she gave birth to a legitimate son, which really shocked everyone. A child was born to a person who was originally infertile. This is no different from the iron tree blooming or the old clam giving birth to pearls. You can't be surprised. amazing.
And the name of Xiao Ming, the miracle doctor, has spread throughout the circle of ladies in Pingcheng.
Although there was a rift between Xiao Ming and the Xu family after Aunt Yan's incident, Xiao Ming was not willing to have more contact with the Xu family, but she couldn't stand the Xu family's repeated invitations.
After all, the Xiao family still has to hang around in Zhifu Peng's territory, and Xiao Ming still can't behave in an aloof and non-communicative manner. In addition, Mrs. Xu has extended olive branches many times, so Xiao Ming often visits Peng's house to support the newly born child. The young master diagnoses the Ping'an pulse.
Xu's child was born in a hurry, and has been unhealthy since the day it was born. It was born prematurely and had weak energy, and was frail and sickly. After Xu's careful feeding and Xiao Ming's repeated care, it turned out to be white, plump and lovable.
Early in the morning, Yi Feng drove a carriage with Xiao Ming and four others to Pingcheng.
On the way, Xiao Ming watched the scenery passing by outside the car window, thinking about the letter sent by Jiang Sihai yesterday. There was no food in the northwest. In order to ensure the stability of the border, the court was afraid that it would start to requisition food again.
After all, no one can starve the soldiers on the front line when they are hungry. How can soldiers defend the city and kill the enemy when they are hungry?
However, the people who had just paid the tax once had little left over. If the court levied another tax, the people's lives would probably be even more difficult, and the old and new might even cease to exist.
Xiao Ming sighed, the people suffered the most in the war.
In the carriage, the senior sister Jiang Xiangyuan was telling the two junior sisters about today's schedule: "We had lunch at Peng's house and then went shopping. We went to my house to eat in the evening and stayed at home. We will go home tomorrow. My sister-in-law knows that you have entered the city. I’ve already made soup and am waiting.”
As she spoke, Jiang Xiangyuan was very kind to Yueniang, her sister-in-law, and her calls of sister-in-law and sister-in-law were very affectionate.
"There is nothing to do at the prefect's house. I feel uncomfortable eating and drinking with the ladies, and I still don't have enough to eat." Jiang Xiangyuan looked disgusted. She didn't like attending banquets with her mother. Those women Look at her as if you were looking at a product.
It grossed her out, and she still had to smile.
Wang Yunling and Bai Xiaoyu also often visited Jiang's house, and they had no objections to Jiang Xiangyuan's arrangements. Yueniang was also close to them, and Yueniang was very warm to them every time she went to Jiang's house.
After successfully capturing the two junior sisters, Jiang Xiangyuan looked at Xiao Ming who was dazed on the side, touched her with her arm and said, "Xiao Ming, what do you think?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ming nodded absently.
"Then let's make a decision and leave after eating. Don't let those people hold you back again."
"Um."
Not long after, the carriage drove into the alleyway in the backyard of the prefect's house. The alley, which could accommodate three cars parallel, was now crowded with carriages, big or small, luxurious or simple, with people shouting and bustling.
Xiao Ming's carriage was at the back of the queue, waiting for the prefect's stewardship arrangements.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage stopped, the housekeeper came with the little girl.
The housekeeper looked at Xiao Ming in the carriage with a smile on her face: "But Doctor Xiao, please forgive me for the poor hospitality in the house."
The mother-in-law looked at Xiao Ming with a flattering look on her face.
"Mommy, you're welcome." Xiao Ming said politely.
"Madam has already given instructions, please don't neglect Doctor Xiao. The carriage is blocked at the moment and cannot pass. Please move Doctor Xiao, and I will lead you in."
"Good work."
"No trouble, no trouble." The mother-in-law said with a smile on her face to please her, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The madam personally told Haosheng to entertain Xiao Ming, so that Xiao Ming could not be dissatisfied at all.
She let Xiao Ming move in. She was worried that Xiao Ming would be unhappy and lose his temper and ask her to eat Guiluo. She didn't expect Xiao Ming to be so easy to talk to.
While thinking about it, grandma carefully led Xiao Ming forward. At this moment, waiting in the backyard were the carriages and horses of the women's families of various houses. They were all sitting in the carriages waiting to enter the house. She never expected to see the prefect's family. Xiao Ming and the four people led by the steward were surprised.
Whose girl is so stylish? We who have status and status are waiting for her, but she can get in.
Incredible.
Ladies and ladies from various families all speculated about whose daughter Xiao Ming was, as her status was so different.
"Mom, that's Xiao Ming." Zhou Lianrong opened the curtain and looked at Xiao Ming walking in front of her. Her face was startled. After seeing the figure clearly, a wave of jealousy surged into her heart.
