Li Chengru got into the carriage, took the food box to the general's house, and then gave the food to xiaobaoshan.
Xiao Baoshan lived in his house for a while, but he was not upset. He only practiced martial arts, read books and slept every day, just like when he was in the tribe. He went to bed at a certain time.
When Li Chengru came, Xiao Baoshan was ready to turn off the lights and sleep, but I heard that he brought the food made by Ye Xiaoxian, so he dressed up again and came out to Li Chengru.
Li Chengru had a straight temper. He came up and said, "don't prepare anything. I'm full in the palace. Just prepare some tea for me."
Xiao Baoshan paused.
"Why, no tea?" Asked Li Chengru.
Xiao Baoshan asked, "only water, OK?"
He is a rough man. Now he lives alone. He always drinks what he has and what tea he will drink.
Li Chengru said, "it's useless to send you food for the king. That's how you treat the king. Just water."
Xiao Baoshan went to get the kettle, but after touching the edge of the kettle, he asked Li Chengru, "cold water, OK?"
Li Chengru was speechless: "your family is deserted, but you don't even have a servant?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "maybe they are busy."
There are only a few servants left to clean the general's house. They have worked hard enough to clean the courtyard every day. Xiaobaoshan dare not bother them to serve themselves.
Li Chengru shook his head: "sure enough, honest people are easy to be bullied. Come on, give me cold water. Anyway, I'm used to hard times and don't choose. However, the dishes I brought back may be cold. Do you want to find someone to heat them or take them yourself?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "is this the craft from leaves?"
"Yes, I saw her this morning. She asked me to bring it back to you and bring you some words by the way."
"What do you say?" Xiao Baoshan asked.
Li Chengru pointed to the dishes he brought back: "you can eat them first."
In normal times, xiaobaoshan doesn't eat at this point, but since it's from the craft of leaves, he doesn't pay attention to it. He picks up the meat and eats it.
These dishes are still warm. Although they taste delicious when they are not hot, they still taste good.
Moreover, it tastes the same as when the open animal festival was held in Tianshan tribe.
Recently, he couldn't see the leaves. He was obsessed with her. Now that he tasted her dishes, he felt as if she was around him. He would think of her when she roasted sheep, her busy shuttling on the grassland, and her shy and reluctant appearance when she came to his felt room.
"Is she all right?" Xiao Baoshan asked Li Chengru while eating.
"It looks good and energetic." Li Chengru took a sip of cold and white, and then took it seriously.
"She has something to say to me. What is it?"
Li Chengru told him ye's original words: "she said, let you not worry too much about her situation. No matter what you do, you should do it out of your own heart. If you do something harmful for her, she won't forgive you, because she doesn't want to bear eternal reputation. In short, she doesn't want to be a beauty disaster."
Xiao Baoshan is silent.
Li Chengru added, "she also said that she has food and drink in the National Teachers' house. Now she is very comfortable. Let you not miss her too much."
Xiao Baoshan ate silently.
Seeing this, Li Chengru knew that he felt bad, so he patted him on the shoulder: "well, I've brought the food and the words. What to do next is your business."
Xiao Baoshan didn't send Li Chengru either. He just stared at the dishes in front of him.
……
The next day.
Li Chengkun lost his temper in the palace.
Unexpectedly, the sacrificial ceremony was held only yesterday. All ministers and concubines gathered together to pray for national peace and security. Today, the news of defeat came from the north.
Bastard, what a bastard.
Yan Ziyan is really useless. He was defeated at this time. Didn't he deliberately hit him in the face of Li Chengkun?
What's more depressing is that because the sacrificial ceremony last night was held too late, Li Chengkun announced that he would take a day off today, and the ministers didn't have to go to the morning, so he didn't want to find anyone to discuss now.
Li Chengkun had to send his father-in-law to preach the national teacher. He must let the national teacher enter the palace at the first time.
My father-in-law went to the National Teacher's house and said that the emperor wanted to urgently call the national teacher.
But it was the National Teacher's wife who came out.
The National Teacher's wife said, "what? Looking for the national teacher? The national teacher didn't come back all night last night."
"Didn't you come back?" My father-in-law was surprised.
One tap on the forehead at the same time.
I'm really confused. Why don't you keep an eye and go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom? Maybe the national master drank too much last night and now sleeps in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
The father-in-law said to the master's wife, "the master may have been too tired last night and stayed in another hospital. The old slave will go to another place to find him."
After his father-in-law left, the National Teacher's wife scolded: "bah, what other courtyard? The old man lived in another courtyard for no reason. It's clear that he went to find the one in the palace."
……
When my father-in-law came to find someone, the national master was still sleeping with the Empress Dowager in his arms.
He was very upset when he was suddenly awakened. Who was so bold that he dared to come to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to call him.
Later, I heard that it was the emperor's urgent call. He got up quickly, dressed and washed, and hurried out without breakfast.
When the national teacher ran to the imperial study of the Imperial Palace, Li Chengshen's face was as black as ever.
"See your majesty!" After the ceremony, the national teacher asked, "Your Majesty, but what happened?"
Li Chengshen threw the document in his hand in front of the National Teacher: "look for yourself."
The national master hurriedly read it and said, "Yan Ziyan lost the war?"
For the first time in a long time, Yan Ziyan was defeated.
The national master thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Ziyan's defeat is not necessarily a bad thing. We can send Xiao Baoshan to support and let Xiao Baoshan kill Yan Ziyan's group. In this way, our plan has been achieved? This is what we always thought."
Li Chengkun asked, "have you settled over xiaobaoshan?"
"His wife is in my house. You don't have to talk about his choice, unless he doesn't want his wife. If he doesn't obey and doesn't kill Yan Ziyan, we'll kill his wife. If he comes back from winning the war, we'll arrange a position for him casually. After a few days, the people don't remember it, and find a reason to kill him. In this way, we have no threat Yes. Besides, if xiaobaoshan wins, Beiqing will certainly suffer heavy losses. They will not dare to commit crimes again in five years. "
Li Chengshen's face had calmed down.
In fact, he thinks so. But he doesn't want to make decisions without authorization. After these words are said from the master's mouth, it will appear that these things are planned by the master. At that time, if the people really investigate it, the pot will also be carried by the master.
Otherwise, Li Chengshen would not indulge the national teacher so much.
Li Chengshen said, "OK, the matter will be arranged by the national master. You can arrange how many troops and horses are needed on Xiaobao mountain and when he starts."
The national teacher said, "yes, I'll arrange it now."
At the same time, the national master thought: look, I can live in the town at the critical time. Li Chengshen, Li Chengshen, you are still too young after all.
……
The national master came out of the palace and went straight to find xiaobaoshan.
Xiao Baoshan didn't look good when he saw the national teacher coming.
Please sit down and then he will pour water for the national teacher.
The national master was thirsty. He took a sip and couldn't help spitting it out.
"It's boiling water, not cold. You general don't have tea in your house? Where are the slaves here? Don't they even want to burn you a pot of water?" The national teacher scolded.
Xiao Baoshan doesn't speak.
The national master looked around. There were really few people in such a large general's house.
He couldn't help laughing again: "Oh, it's really shabby. You've failed to be a general. You want a servant without a servant and a maid without a maid. Thanks to your wife's failure to live in your house. If she lives in your house, how can she stand such a miserable day? General Xiao, I still say that. You have to make plans for your wife."
Xiao Baoshan said faintly, "the national teacher has bothered!"
"I have something to worry about now. Last night, I met a sneak attack by the Beiqing army in the north and was defeated. The emperor hopes you can lead troops to help. By the way... Remember what I told you last time?"
The national master didn't say, Xiao Baoshan said for him: "kill Yan Ziyan and their grass bandits by the way."
The National Master said with satisfaction: "just think about your wife. She is a woman of both talent and beauty. She is not only good-looking, but also excellent in cooking. Although she didn't show up yesterday, her good cooking has been known all over the city. Such a woman is perfect for you. Without her, where would you find such a lady, right?"
Xiao Baoshan smiled and asked, "when can I lead the troops to Heihe village?"
The national master was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Xiao Baoshan agreed so soon, and then immediately said, "it's not too late. I'll ask the Ministry of arms to give you soldiers, horses, food and grass now. You go to point the troops now. The sooner you start, the better."
With Xiao Baoshan present, the national master believes that this battle will be won.
……
The news of Xiao Baoshan's return to the war spread all over the capital.
This news is undoubtedly like a wisp of spring breeze, which makes the people in the capital feel a trace of comfort.
After all, except for the disastrous defeat a few years ago, xiaobaoshan was an invincible general. Beiqing people were terrified of him. With him and the Qian family, the North has been safe and sound.
Also, it has been said that I have no great general before. Isn't there now?
Xiaobaoshan is back on the March.
Two days later, xiaobaoshan set out with 70000 troops and horses.
The army marched through the market and then went out from the north gate. When the onlookers saw Xiaobao mountain on a high horse, they couldn't help sighing:
"Wow, how tall!"
"Good spirit!"
"Look at that formation. It's like a man in war. I feel that as long as he goes out, he will win half."
"No!"
