Xie Jingan was waiting outside the gate of Zhao Mansion for Zhao Duizheng to come to respond. He had nothing to do and took a casual look at Zhao Mansion. He found that the house of Zhao Mansion was considered a wealthy family, but it was a little dilapidated, as if it had been in disrepair for a long time. , I just thought that the life of the Zhao family was difficult, so I couldn't help asking: "This Zhao family has also taken root in Mozhou for many years. It is said that there should be a lot of good shops and good land after so many years of accumulation. How come the life of the Zhao family is like this? The door must have not been repainted for many years, it is all mottled."

Xie Jing'an looked at it, regretting it a little bit. If he had known that the Zhao family would not be like this, he should have changed those flashy rewards into silver coins. Although it was a bit vulgar, it was real. After all, the jewelry he gave was precious, but No matter how courageous the Zhao family was, they would not dare to sell the things he gave them.

Cui Tongdao: "Returning to Your Highness, although the Zhao family has been operating in Mozhou for many years, the heirs are difficult. There is only one only son in one generation. Moreover, Zhao Duizheng's father was seriously injured when the barbarians invaded Mozhou more than [-] years ago. The root cause of the disease fell, Zhao Duizheng died of illness when he was only four or five years old, orphans and widows, with so many relatives of tigers and wolves, it is not easy to survive until today, in order for Zhao Duizheng to grow up, he sold off all these years There is a lot of family property, so the remaining shop and land can only be used for daily expenses, and the rest is beyond our ability."

Xie Jingan originally just asked casually and didn't expect to get an answer. He didn't expect Cui Tong to know so clearly, so he couldn't help being surprised, "You have been by my king's side all day long, and I didn't see why you are free. At that time, he knew so clearly about the Zhao family's affairs."

Seeing that Xie Jingan was startled by him, Cui Tong was overjoyed, and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, this subordinate is just a coincidence. During the Chinese New Year, His Highness invited the officers and soldiers patrolling the city to a banquet. Some of them chatted while drinking, and this subordinate had no intention After listening to it, I was curious and asked a lot of questions, only then did I know so clearly."

That can be considered a talent, Xie Jingan glanced at him in amazement, and couldn't help but think of his intelligence organization that hadn't even taken shape yet. He thought it was appropriate for Cui Tong to be clever and have such a keen sense of smell, but Cui Tong's age He was still young and uncertain, so he didn't dare to put such boldness on him, so he quickly put it behind him, and praised with a smile: "Your curiosity is wonderful, just to avoid this king's need I took the trouble to investigate and see that you have grown up day by day, and you seem to have become a lot smarter, so I just followed this king to serve and bury you. Why don't I ask Master Liu to accept you as a disciple and let you follow me? How about he learn some skills?"

Cui Tong was naturally overjoyed, but he still wanted to work with Xie Jingan, he couldn't help but hesitate, and said: "This subordinate is stupid, to be able to have Liu Zhubo as a teacher is naturally the blessings accumulated by this subordinate in previous lives, it's just This subordinate is used to serving His Highness by his side, and if he doesn't look at His Highness for a day, he feels empty in his heart, and can't do anything well..."

Cui Tong hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate is more willing to work with His Highness, and he can only live up to His Highness's love."

After struggling for a long time, he finally chose to be a follower by his side. Xie Jingan didn't know whether to be mad at him for his lack of ambition, or happy for his loyalty, and said dumbfoundingly: "You, after all, are still young, and it's worth serving by my king's side." What's so good, how can it compare to Shanli going out to make contributions, get married and have children."

Xie Jing'an loved talents, so he couldn't help persuading him, but seeing Cui Tong's disapproving appearance, he had to give up and said: "Forget it, you are still a child, how can you expect you to understand such a thing?" Many, let's learn some skills from Liu Zhubo first, and we will talk about it when you are older."

As long as he is not allowed to leave, just learn something. If he learns more and knows more, maybe he will be like General Lin in the future and be so valued by His Highness. He knows it very clearly these days, His Highness almost Every day I have secret talks with General Lin's study, and I don't know what advice General Lin has given His Highness, but every time it makes His Highness feel very good, it can be said that he is in high spirits.

After talking for a while, Lin Yan accompanied Team Zhao to come out to greet him, and he was about to bow and salute. One was his boyfriend, and the other was an injured hero. How could Xie Jingan accept this gift, so he hurriedly helped He shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhao Duizheng doesn't need to be polite. It's my king who disturbed me. I just hope that Zhao Duizheng's recuperation will not be delayed."

Xie Jing'an's kindness made Zhao Duizheng even more flattered, and said with a little excitement: "No, no, the whole family is very grateful that His Highness can come to the humble house, and it is very radiant. Your Highness, please hurry up."

Xie Jing'an first glanced at Lin Yan with a smile, and then, under the guidance of Dui Zheng Zhao, went to the flower hall in the mansion.

Zhao's mansion is not small, but it is not too big. After a few people walked for a while, they already arrived at the flower hall. Because Xie Jingan knew the difficulties of Zhao's family, so he did not look sideways all the way. If so, Team Zhao Zheng Zheng couldn't help but feel ashamed, and blushed slightly, he said: "The general is not good at management, so his home is simple and shabby, I'm afraid that His Highness will be neglected, and I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

Xie Jing'an lived in a dormitory for eight people. Even after work, he lived in a rented house of no more than sixty to seventy square meters. The reason for relying on relatives to take care of her is that Mrs. Zhao is a girl. It is not easy to raise Dui Zheng Zhao in this era. How can I ask for more?

Although Xie Jing'an was quite light on major issues, he was rather soft-hearted when it came to the details. Seeing that the Zhao family was not like this, and Dui Zhao was a talented person, he couldn't help but want to help, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear of provoking his weak heart. I couldn't help thinking for a moment, chatting with Zhao Duizheng for a few words, then changed his voice, and asked Lin Yan in a roundabout way: "I remember that before General Lin led his troops to the north to suppress the bandits, this king seemed to say If you want a big reward, General Lin says no?"

Lin Yan and Xie Jingan had been together for so long, and then they had that kind of relationship again. Naturally, they had a tacit understanding. As soon as he heard him say this, he immediately understood his plan in his heart. He pretended to recall it, nodded and said: "Your Highness said What's more, the general will remember that there is such a thing, it's just that His Highness is busy with affairs these days, so it's delayed."

Xie Jingjian suddenly said: "No wonder this king always feels as if he has forgotten something. It turned out to be this matter. As a vassal king, how can I go back on my word? This time the bandit can be triumphant, General Lin must remember Zhao Duzheng also contributed a lot. According to this king, there is no need to give any cloth jewelry. These flimsy rewards are not worthy of your credit. It is better to give some fertile land and silver, so that you can be my king. go through fire and water."

Although he was used to the difference between Xie Jingan and the world, and he didn't value civility over martial arts, Lin Yan was still a little moved. He couldn't see anything on the surface, but his eyes were very bright. He looked deeply at Xie Jingan and said: "What Your Highness said Extremely, the last general, on behalf of all the officers and men in the City Guard, thank His Highness for the reward."

The two talked to each other, Zhao Duzheng hadn't realized that the matter had already been finalized, he couldn't help being a little stunned, looked at Xie Jingan for a while, then looked suspiciously at Lin Yan, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

His Highness is busy with affairs, so it is not uncommon for him to be confused, but the general stays with them all day long, and on the day of the reward, he received the decree with them and thanked him for his kindness. Why does the general look like this now, as if he did not have this expression back then? It seemed to be the case, and the appearance of what should have made him almost doubt whether the reward was real or his imagination.

He wanted to remind King Shun, but he was afraid that what he said would affect Lin Yan, so he couldn't help hesitating. After he finally made up his mind, the two of them had already changed the subject. For a moment, I had no choice but to give up, thinking that I should mention it privately another day, lest His Highness think about it in the future and cause any misunderstanding about the general.

What Xie Jingan and Lin Yan were talking about was the departure of the military supply team in the morning.

Xie Jing'an said: "We only set off tomorrow, and this day is still a little late. Fortunately, General Song has been guarding the border for many years, so he must have started preparing for the battle long ago. Speaking of which, this king has not gone to the battlefield to see it in person. If it is not too far away from the border, All affairs in Mozhou need to be presided over by this king, and I really want to go with the team that transports the military supplies. I believe that with General Song around, I will be safe and sound, and the border will be unbreakable."

Hearing that Xie Jingan intends to go to the border, both Lin Yan and Zhao Duizheng's eyelids twitched, and their hearts were raised high. They only breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the second half of the paragraph.

Lin Yan said in relief: "The things on the battlefield are nothing more than parting from life and death. Blood and flesh are flying everywhere. It is extremely tragic. There is really nothing to see. If Your Highness wants to watch, where can't you watch? It can be regarded as some progress, if His Highness is curious, why not go to the barracks with the general to take a look after the military supply team leaves tomorrow?"

What is there to see in the training of recruits? Xie Jingan was in a slump. He watched too many military dramas in later generations. Besides, he was the one who made the booklet for physical training. Leisure, if you have that kind of skill, it's better to watch Lin Yan do it. Anyway, although Lin Yan is thin, he still has a thin layer of muscle.

But they can't go to the battlefield, and the recruit training is nothing to watch, but they can try the exercise, which can not only motivate them, but also let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Besides, these days are really boring, and I have been intriguing with the family all day long, so I should find a way to adjust it.

Xie Jingan thought to himself, and asked the two of them out loud, "Although we can't go to the battlefield, there is a way to let me watch it, but this way needs the cooperation of the fierce soldiers."

As he spoke, he recounted his thoughts. There had never been an exercise in this era. The two of them were very surprised to hear it, and they were a little moved. After all, since they went north to suppress the bandits last year, there had been no wars. Not only Zhao Duizheng, but also Even Lin Yan felt his hands were itchy.

But this has never happened before, the two pondered for a while, and Lin Yan said slowly: "Your Highness, this method is unheard of before, but it is a good thing for the soldiers who are training, and the general thinks it is feasible. It’s just that it hasn’t happened in ancient times, and it needs to be discussed in the long run.”
