Chapter 48 48
The hidden guards who followed Xie Fanghan this time were the two with the highest force values. They didn't see her often, and they were still a little uncertain about what this "little master" would do.
In their dogma, the task can only be completed and find a way to complete it.
It was the first time he really heard the word "don't force it".
Is it to let them release water on purpose?
The hidden guard who received the order was a little uncertain about Xie Fanghan's intentions...
Xiaohua sorted out the news she received recently, glanced at the warming medicine on the stove beside her, calculated the time in her heart, got up, and prepared to deliver the medicine to the worried "Master" next door.
In terms of age, she is one year younger than Xie Fanghan, but in fact, except for those years when she left Xijing, she can be regarded as watching Xie Fanghan grow up.
Xie Mingyuan told her her life experience directly after she was sensible, and gave her two choices.
One is to send her to the south of the Yangtze River and find a good family to be a daughter. From then on, she will have no worries about food and clothing. With him as a guarantee, she can also find a good family in the future, and her life will be smooth.
The other is to stay in Xijing, but she will be a shadow in her whole life. She not only has to exercise her skills, but also learns many ways to kill people. Her life is rough.
Xiaohua was only four years old at the time.
Xie Mingyuan didn't make the decision for her because she was young, he explained the matter to her in detail and let her choose by herself.
What did she say?
Xiaohua looked at Xie Fanghan who was drinking the medicine without frowning, as if she had returned to the time when she first met her more than ten years ago.
Xie Mingyuan gave her three days to think about it, and Xiaohua approached him the next day.
She asked Xie Mingyuan if he could see who's shadow he was going to be?
Since it is a shadow, it must have a body.
Xie Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Xiao Hua was arranged to sneak into Xie's mansion. At that time, Xie Fanghan was still a baby bun.
But he has already started to practice martial arts.
Xiao Hua watched her all day.
I saw her practicing martial arts in the morning and writing in the afternoon.
His obviously tired hands were shaking, but he didn't even complain, just sat there quietly reading and writing.
After Xiaohua went back that night, she told Xie Mingyuan that she wanted to stay.
Xie Mingyuan asked her why.
Xiao Hua looked at him seriously and said, "She is a good person, if she is a good person's shadow, then I will be a good shadow too."
Xie Mingyuan straightened his head with a smile after listening to her words.
Xiaohua didn't know what he was laughing at, Xie Mingyuan didn't say anything, but sent her to a place the next day.
It has been ten years since I came back to Xijing.
Xie Mingyuan was similar to what she remembered, ten years seemed to have taken nothing away from him.
It was Xie Fanghan.
In my impression, the milk buns have grown up, but the aura around her is still the same, quiet and quiet. If you don't pay attention to it in a crowd, you will have no sense of existence.
Xiaohua came back this time and began to officially follow Xie Mingyuan to take over the affairs of the building. Occasionally, she went to see what Xie Fanghan was doing. The children are almost the same.
Xiaohua won't get too close, she has practiced kung fu for ten years, and Xie Fanghan has also practiced kung fu for ten years. Even if she is superior in skills now, she will always be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.
Now is not the time for her to appear.
Since when did she change...
Is that the time to enter the palace?
Xie Fanghan entered the palace and became the companion of the five princesses today.
Then she changed.
She is no longer "quiet", no longer hiding in the crowd as an unknown person.
She pushed aside the crowd and walked to the stage step by step.
Like a magic weapon unsheathed, it shows its sharpness.
Xiaohua's mood at that time was somewhat complicated, but overall it was expected. If Xie Fanghan really lived a "quiet" life, then her shadow might not see the light of day again...
"Little flower, little flower?"
Xiao Hua came back to her senses and saw Xie Fanghan looking at her.
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Fanghan asked with concern.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about something just now." She replied.
"Oh." Xie Mingyuan nodded without asking further questions.
Xiaohua put away the medicine bowl, told her to go to bed early, then turned around and walked out neatly.
Before going out, Xie Fanghan's voice came from behind him.
"If there is anything difficult to handle, just tell me, don't carry it yourself."
When Xiaohua turned her head, she saw Xie Fanghan looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Cheap dad... No, my dad said that if I have something to ask, I can ask you for help, but on the other hand, you can also ask me if you have something to do, not to mention other places, I think I can still do something in Xijing and here."
Xiaohua saw with her own eyes that Xie Fanghan's eyes lit up three degrees after mentioning Xijing, and she knew who she was thinking of without having to think about it.
Fortunately, she was rarely moved for a moment just now.
Xiaohua gave her a "disgusting" look, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Xie Fanghan: "..."
Did Xiaohua dislike her just now?
Xiao Hua actually disliked her? !
Xiaohua actually has other expressions!
She always thought that Xiao Hua had facial paralysis...
Xie Fanghan curled his lips, packed the papers on the table, and turned on the lamp to sleep.
I don't know what dreams I will have tonight.
Xiaohua came out of the tent and was stopped by the hidden guards within two steps.
She recognized someone, they were a group of trained children, and this person was considered a good player among their group of trained children.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly.
The dark guard glanced at the tent, and also whispered what Xie Fanghan said just now and his own doubts.
After Xiaohua heard it, she looked at him with a strange expression.
The dark guard's scalp was numb from her look, and he stood there stiffly.
I can't run away.
When they were still in training, he couldn't beat Xiaohua. Xiaohua was very talented in martial arts. It can be said that their group was beaten by Xiaohua.
Xiaohua looked at the tense guard, didn't tease him, and said to him in a cold voice: "You can do whatever the master arranges, you don't need to ask me."
The dark guard nodded hurriedly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Xiaohua thought of what the dark guard had just said to her, and turned her head to look at the tent that had already turned off the lights, her mood suddenly improved a lot.
It's changed, but Keren is still a "good guy".
Xie Fanghan slept until the sun was up on the second day, and when he went out, Wu Xiaoshan had already practiced with his soldiers twice, probably because of her injuries, he refrained from breaking into her tent and dragged her out of bed.
Xie Fanghan naturally remembered what he had promised, and after eating and drinking medicine, he went into the city with Wu Xiaoshan.
Before entering the city, Xie Fanghan saw a huge crowd of people standing at the gate of the city, some were leading cattle and sheep, some were carrying vegetable baskets, and some were watching the excitement with their hands clasped.
Wu Xiaoshan told her that there were not so many people yesterday.
Xie Fanghan looked at the crowd when he entered the city, and he knew it.
It is estimated that several other nearby cities heard the news here and came to find out.
The food truck stopped at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Xie Fanghan asked his own soldiers to bring her a grand master's chair, and sat beside him comfortably with his eyes closed, wrapped in a big coat.
Although Wu Xiaoshan had doubts in his heart, he ignored Gu Xie Fanghan according to what had been discussed on the road before, and started arranging food exchanges like yesterday.
"I'll exchange this sheep for a hundred catties of grain."
"I have a box of vegetables here, in exchange for twenty catties of grain."
"I have a basket of eggs, how much food can I exchange for it?"
"This is the fish that was just caught today, please ask the military master to weigh the food."
Xie Fanghan opened his eyes and glanced at the man who was carrying a fish with a fawning and calculating face. The spring in the north is cold, so there is no big fish. The fish is only the size of a palm, and it is dry and has an unpleasant smell. , The soldiers in charge of exchanging food didn't look very good, but they still frowned and began to pack rice for him.
"Hey, Mr. Jun, it's a little less. I changed so many dishes in the box just now. I'm just meat. Why is that so much?"
The man did not leave immediately after receiving the rice, but stretched it up and down with the rice bag, and then started to attack with a dissatisfied face.
Xie Fanghan got up and walked towards the man in a low-key manner.
"Master Jun, it's too unreasonable for you to exchange food. You can't bully us like this just because we are common people."
"Yeah yeah!"
"You can't fool the people!"
Xie Fanghan winked at the soldiers, and the few people who had just followed up with the booing were thrown out of the crowd one after another.
Seeing this, the man was in a bad mood, he clenched the rice bag in his hand and shrank back, but he didn't want to meet Xie Fanghan who came forward.
Xie Fanghan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, stopping his back step.
"Don't go, don't you think this food is not suitable for exchange?" Xie Fanghan pinched his shoulders and pushed him to the front again.
The soldiers stood coldly in front of the crowd to prevent the people on the ground from escaping.
Xie Fanghan let go, and took back the fish brought by the man from the soldier who exchanged food.
Xie Fanghan glanced around, leaned closer and smelled it, looked at the man and said with a smile, "This fish has been dead for at least two days, and weighs only a little over a catty. I don't know how much food you want to exchange, huh? For two Ten catties, or give you a hundred catties?"
Snapped!
Xie Fanghan threw the fish at the man's feet, looked at the people who made a fuss before, and looked at the people around him, and laughed mockingly twice.
"Blindly, the soldiers of our Zhenbei Army, who saved their lives, turned out to be a group of white-eyed wolves!"
Xie Fanghan's words caused a brief commotion in the crowd.
Xie Fang coldly looked around for a week, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even more serious: "What? Am I wrong?"
"Do you know what kind of food was given to you in exchange for food?"
"It's military rations! It's military rations sent by the imperial court for war!"
"The general of the Zhenbei Army who confronted the Dayue Army at the next day pass knew that the people in your seven cities were short of food, so they risked their heads to try to transfer the army food to you for emergency. What happened to you? It's fine if you don't feel grateful, and you still use these crooked ways mind."
"Not satisfied, right? Okay, then don't change it, pack up and go back to camp!"
After Xie Fanghan finished speaking, the whole vegetable market fell into silence.The young soldier in charge of exchanging food raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and began to tidy up the things on the table.
The people who had just followed the booing sat on the ground with their heads in their hands, wishing they could bury their faces in the ground.
The man who came with the fish let go of the rice bag he had been clutching in his hand, bowed his head and showed shame.
Xie Fanghan felt that someone was pulling her clothes, and when he turned around, he saw a little girl who had just reached her waist looking up at him.
The little girl's eyes were clear, Xie Fanghan squatted down, and unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth towards her.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Brother General, this is the egg my mother left for me. I'll give it to you. Don't be angry, okay?"
The immature voice of a child is like a feather caressing my heart, soft and soft.
Xie Fanghan suddenly felt a little sour. She raised her head and found the child's mother. She was the woman who had just exchanged a basket of eggs for food. It was also the rare person who asked how much she could exchange instead of directly asking how much she wanted.
Xie Fanghan looked at the egg in the little girl's hand, raised his hand and patted the girl's head, "Brother, don't be angry, keep the egg for you to eat, you have to eat well to grow up."
After she finished speaking, she waved to the soldiers, "Bring that basket of eggs."
The soldiers handed over the basket, and Xie Fanghan held the basket in one hand and the little girl in the other, and handed both of them into the hands of the woman.
"You take this basket of eggs back," she said.
Seeing this, the lady immediately wanted to hand back the rice bag.
Xie Fanghan shook his head, then turned to the soldiers who exchanged food and said, "This bag of food is mine, you can write it down, and it will be deducted from my medicine money."
"General!"
"General."
"No way, general!"
……
All the soldiers around shouted out one after another, even Wu Xiaoshan called out the young general.
Xie Fanghan waved his hand.
Turning back to the mother and daughter, she said, "Put away your things. If anyone dares to rob openly or secretly, you can go to the next day to look for me, and say you want to look for General Zhengbei Xie Fanghan."
This title seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. The common people exclaimed. No one in the Northland knew that General Zhengbei from Xijing took back the two passes and seven cities in one night. The only thing he never thought of was General Zhengbei It's so young.
The woman in front of her immediately knelt down and said to her with a choked voice, "The general expelled the Yue people and avenged my husband who was brutally killed by the Yue people. Such a great kindness, the women will never forget!"
After the woman finished speaking, she and the people around her knelt down, and the people who had just changed their food stepped forward to return the food bags.
Xie Fanghan sighed faintly, knowing that her goal today had been achieved.
Turning the people's thinking around makes the rest of the work much easier, and the effort of a few words is another beautiful scene of "military and civilian family".
The common people came forward to change the food one after another. Unlike before, this time they all took the initiative to ask for a reduction in food. The young soldiers who changed the food touched their eyes again. This time they were not wronged, and were moved to cry by the enthusiasm of the people.
Wu Xiaoshan walked to her side with a serious expression, "Did the Major General arrange this drama on purpose today?"
Xie Fanghan didn't hide it: "There are truths and lies, people are good and people are evil, what you rely on is nothing more than what you think and want. Previously, desires turned into greed. As long as there are thoughts, desires will naturally be suppressed."
Wu Xiaoshan rolled his eyes thoughtfully, and then his eyes fell on the woman and the girl again, "Is that woman arranged by the major general in advance?"
Xie Fanghan shook his head, "No. Except for the sentence I said that the bag of rice would be deducted from my medicine money, everything else is true."
After all, Xiao Hua was in charge of her medicine, and it was not paid by the army at all.
Wu Xiaoshan was surprised.
Xie Fanghan smiled at him, "General Wu, be more patient and confident with the people. If there is peace and prosperity, everyone will have enough to eat. If there is no war and chaos, there will be no troublesome people."
After Xie Fanghan finished speaking, he put his coat on his body, and a gust of wind blew, but it was not as cold as before, but with a slight heat, as if a warm spring was coming.
