Chapter 169

Duanmu rang and fanned: "life, old age, sickness and death, human nature, mourning."

Situ Xiao sighed: "my father is really old, but children always want him to live a long life. Now in the situation of the imperial court, I don't need to say that you all know that once my father dies and the military power is dispersed, there will be unrest."

Li Changting: "isn't there you?"

Situ Xiao looked at Li Changting in surprise: "I'm really surprised that you can say this sentence."

Li Changting's eyes floated to the distance: "to serve the country and the people is a good general. In the future, even if you raise your troops to rebel and become an emperor, as long as you treat the people well and become a good emperor, I have nothing to blame you."

Situ Xiao's look from the beginning of shock immediately became embarrassed and distorted, although some tacit words, but situ Xiao still vigilantly glanced around, whispered to Li Changting: "although all around are their own people, but these words still don't say outside in the future."

Even if Li Changting said these words, he could not hide the fact that he hated situ Xiao.

"Is your foot healed?" Situ Xiao stares at Li Changting's feet and looks at them.

"I think so." Li Changting replied perfunctorily, blocking what situ Xiao was going to say in his throat.

Situ Xiao looked at the indifference in Li Changting's eyes, and saw that Li Changting's blood had cooled down, and those loyalty, justice and arrogance were scattered with the past wind.

At that time, with his own strength, Li Changting prevented the situ family's plan to raise troops to rebel. No, he did.

But the fact is that the majestic Imperial City in front of us has long rotted into a pool of stinky mud, the new regime will sooner or later defeat the old system, and the change of the throne is irresistible.

Li Changting himself knew that it was just a matter of time.

Duanmu's voice broke the heavy and awkward atmosphere in the air: "general situ came here in person, is he planning to encircle and suppress heiyun village in shangcanglinggou?"

Situ Xiao nodded: "that's right. This black cloud stronghold has burned, killed and looted many villages and towns. Now it has developed into a siege. It can't be allowed to go on. Do you want to help me?"

Duanmu Xiang took a look at Li Changting and sighed: "although it's the duty of every DAHAO man to eliminate evils, he can't do anything that is not good for him."

This is to remind situ Xiao to give him some reward.

Situ Xiao laughed: "what do you want, in addition to food, other as you choose."

It's not that situ Xiao didn't want to give up food, but now food is too precious. If he gave up hundreds of burdens casually, many people would be hungry.

Duanmu ring: "we will grow our own food, and we are not short of it."

Situ Xiao patiently asked, "what do you lack?"

Li Changting: "three thousand jin of salt, plus a certificate for the sale of official salt."

"Salt?" Situ Xiao was stunned and then said with a smile, "no problem! There is no grain, but there is enough salt! "

Duanmu ring: "is the official salt farm still open?"

Situ Xiao: "there are still two left. I can't afford to raise too many people."

Now that the sun is full, salt is the best thing to do.

What's more, situ Xiao knew that Li Changting wanted so much salt to help the people who were short of salt. Originally, this kind of thing should be done by the imperial court, but now there are few officials who are willing to work for the people.

Xu Qing waited in the inn until evening to see Li Changting and Duanmu ring back.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Asked Xu Qing.

"No, just a few mountain bandits, that's all." Duanmu rings and shakes the fan.

"I see troops coming in. Is it the rescue from the capital?"

"Not only that, they are going to encircle the black cloud stronghold tomorrow, so are we." Li Changting talked about the encirclement and the reward. As for Xu Qing's arrangement, is it sent to situ's house in the capital, or stay in the inn, or go with them Li Changting filtered through the possible dangers in his mind, and finally decided, "the encirclement and suppression will take about three or four days. You will go with us, and then we will go to the capital together."

Xu Qing: "good."

In other words, is it more dangerous to send her to the capital and leave her in the inn than to follow them to encircle the mountain bandits?

Xu Qing suddenly didn't expect to go to the capital.

Duanmu rang: "the military food is terrible. Ah Qing, you can make more pancakes. I can eat them for five days in a row!"

Said as if very proud, Xu Qing smile: "good good."

Li Changting: "situ Xiao is here. We have to do some things in front of the public. From now on, we should be outside and less space."

Xu Qing and Duanmu ring nodded.

First, they went out of the gate and came back with three big bamboo baskets. These things were their luggage and grain hidden outside.

As for why we didn't bring food in before, we can understand it as being cautious. It's better to go to a strange place and hide food in a hidden place than to bring it in and be stolen.In the evening, Xu Qing went into the space and made 200 thick pancakes, including leek and egg stuffing, dried cabbage stuffing, sesame sugar stuffing, bean paste stuffing Anyway, you can stuff whatever you have, starting with the most forbidden ones.

The next day, the three went to the gate of the government with the bamboo basket on their back and went directly in to see situ Xiao.

"Have you had breakfast?" Situ Xiao asked them, "I still have porridge here."

Li Changting: "yes." With that, Li Changting introduced situ Xiao, "this is my wife, Xu Qing, Qing'er. This is general situ."

Xu nodded: "hello."

Situ Xiao looked at Xu Qing, looking complicated for a moment, but then he said with a smile: "well, it's a pity that I didn't prepare any meeting gifts when I went out. I'll make up one for you when I return to the capital in a few days. Ting Feng, in the blink of an eye, you've got a wife. Time flies. "

Xu Qing Laugh, laugh true or false.

In front of him, situ Xiao was about thirty years old. His features were deep and domineering. When he spoke, his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were sharp, which gave people a very bad feeling.

Situ Xiao also looked at Li Changting's little wife. The little girl even dared to look him in the eye. She also looked at him several times. She didn't know whether it was the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers or had a lot of courage.

At this time, Xu Qing took out two bags of dried radish and dried sweet potato from the bamboo basket behind Li Changting and handed them to situ Xiao: "the meeting gift, the things planted at home, please don't give up."

Situ Xiao looked a little strange and took over two big bags of things in his hand. He was stunned for a while and said: "thank you very much."

Duanmu ring is holding a smile.

Situ Xiao said to them, "just wait a moment and you can start."

The mountain is very dangerous for a little girl, but situ Xiao doesn't bother to ask Li Changting why he wants to take Xu Qing. Anyway, Li Changting always has his own ideas.
