In the same boat with the son

Ever since Fu Ming knew what Feng Dai thought of him, Fu Ming always felt very uncomfortable. Many small details that he didn't pay attention to before have now become uncomfortable thorns sticking to his body, and Fu Ming can't help it. avoid.But Feng Dai didn't do anything to go beyond the distance, and Fu Ming didn't make a fuss about it.However, Ah Ru and A Da gradually became more and more intimate with Feng Dai, and Feng Dai was naturally very kind to the two children.Fu Ming sometimes wondered whether it would be better to leave this place and return to his hometown for a while, but he also felt that a man who is not concerned about trivial matters is not a big deal.

The winter in Gaoling City may not be much colder than Chen Liu's, but when the strong wind blows, it is much more uncomfortable.In the cold winter season, in cities slightly north, such as Lingzhou and Fuping, there are many Hu Qiang who sell animal skins, livestock and some special items, and there are also businessmen from all over the country.

Although the imperial court often opened or banned borders as Hu Qiang disturbed the border, some important northern towns close to Hu Qiang always had prosperous transactions, and merchants made great profits, and they were always mercenary.However, compared with Lingzhou, Fuping used to be the seat of Beidi County, with stricter management and more wealthy households. Although many of them moved in with the imperial court, the foundation is still there; while Lingzhou is an important town in the north, trade control Relatively loose, so the border trade has been more developed.

Aru and Ada have been bored in the house all the time, and it is also very uncomfortable. Occasionally, when there is no wind and the sun is just right, they can only bask in the winter sun in the yard.Feng Dai thought about taking the children to Lingzhou for a tour, that might be the Northland they imagined, and they would probably like it very much. (Beidi County was originally located in present-day Ningxia, and it changed a lot due to the war)

Taking advantage of the good weather these few days, Feng Dai ordered someone to clean up and set off for Lingzhou. Lingzhou is several hundred miles away from here, and the journey with children is also slow.This trip to Lingzhou is just to take the children to watch something new, and the most important thing is to explore the situation.

Two days later, Feng Dai and his party arrived in Lingzhou. There was only a three-story wooden attic on the city gate of Lingzhou, and there was no archery tower. The attic was painted black, and the black paint was eroded by time, air, wind and snow. , looks a bit mottled.It was noon at this time, the market was noisy, and the people coming and going were a mixture of Han and Hu, some wearing Han-style long clothes, or heavy Hu clothes with broad robes, or wearing simple buns on their heads, or braiding their hair with beaded beading.The houses on both sides are not very tall, and are mostly painted black that has been eroded by time. The whole city feels thick and heavy, like a thick northern man standing on the vast northern wilderness.

Taking care of the two children during the journey, they were not very tired, and asked the boy to send some simple luggage to the post station. Feng Dai and Fu Ming took the two children to the largest market in Lingzhou.Most of the stalls in the market are set up on the spot, and there are all Hu Han who set up the stalls.Ah Ru and A Da saw those Hu people and some new things such as animal skins and ornaments, they both thought it was very novel, but they didn't pester Fu Ming to buy them.After all, these are not the same as visiting the zoo. When children visit the zoo and see cute animals, they want to take them back to raise them. However, these are novel, but they will not induce children's possessiveness.

When I arrived at a barbarian's stall, there were some sabers and animal skins on it, two of which were very special.Slightly longer than ordinary daggers, the blade has a sharp arc, similar to a small scimitar, the scabbard is very simple, but each handle has a fang embedded in it.

Ada was very surprised when he saw it. He squatted down and stroked the fang lightly with his little hand. Aru was also very curious when he saw it, so he squatted down and held the other one to watch.Ada looked up at Feng Dai, with some doubts in his eyes. Seeing this, the barbarian explained quite cleverly, "It seems that the young master is destined for this scimitar. This pair of scimitars is not ordinary. It was a pair of canine teeth of a wild wolf." The barbarian took the machete in Ada's hand and pulled it out with a swipe. The movement of drawing the knife was very unusual, with a bit of evil spirit, unlike ordinary businessmen. The curve of the knife is more fluent, with a sharp beauty, "When a guest sees the blade, he will know the quality of the knife."

The Hu Ren presented the knife to Feng Dai with both hands, and Ada seemed to be fascinated when he saw the movement of the Hu Ren and the curve the knife cut in an instant.Feng Dai held the Hu knife in his hand and played with it. The knife was like a crescent moon, and its light was restrained. Looking at this unusual little look, Feng Dai will definitely buy it without hesitation, not to mention that it is really good.But this quality of the knife, coupled with the action of the barbarian drawing the knife, made Feng Dai feel a little suspicious.

When Fu Ming saw the children's small eyes, he understood their desire, but he couldn't help but think a little bit more, "I heard that Hu people think that wolves are the messengers of gods, and they all worship wolves very much, but how could they take wolf teeth at will? And How can you make such a meaningless decoration without the wolf's teeth? Isn't it blasphemy?"

The Hu people heard this, and turned their eyes sharply, "The guest doesn't know, this wolf tooth is not hunted, but taken. Whenever they meet a wolf that is about to die, the tribe will sincerely make their wishes. Follow the wishes of the tribe, get peace, and live on the things taken by the tribe. After fulfilling the wish, the wolf soul will return to the side of the god. And as a commodity circulation, it is not seeking profit, but actually a circulation of blessings and wishes .”

Hearing what the nonsense said, Fu Ming thought that he must have made up a random story, but unexpectedly, he made up so many stories, but he didn't intend to expose it, after all, to prove these nonsense, it was just a joke.But the two children didn't think so. Hearing this, their eyes sparkled even more. Seeing that the two children were very cute, the barbarians whispered a word in each of the two children's ears.

Fu Ming couldn't think of anything for a while, so Feng Dai bought it without hesitation, and gave it to two children each.When returning to the inn, Feng Dai went to deal with his own business, and Fu Ming took the child back to the room to rest.Ada lay in Fu Ming's arms, sharpened the dagger carefully, looked up at Fu Ming, and couldn't help asking, "Abba, what do you mean by freedom and wisdom?"

Fu Ming was very puzzled when he heard it, and scratched his little nose, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"What the strange uncle selling knives said just now, when you meet that person and give him the scimitar, it will bring him freedom and wisdom."

Ah Ru heard this, and shook Fu Ming's hand, "Abba, Abba, that strange uncle said I was courage and strength." Still not smart, why are you so easy to fool around, "That strange uncle said nonsense, freedom is what people pursue, wisdom is born by people, courage and strength are blessed by people, how could you give me a scimitar You have to come?! Don't believe that these things are nothing, but believe that you know?" He said and touched the little heads of the two sons.

In fact, what Aru and Ada said to Uncle Weird was in the air, but they just thought it was amazing. Hearing what Abba said, he was even more confused, but they were still very serious like all the other things that Abba said. Keep the words in mind.

After sending the child back to the room to fall asleep, Fu Ming went to Feng Dai to discuss business matters with him.It was not the end of the hour, and the slanting color of the sun carried some warmth.Feng Dai was looking at the map in the room at this time, a businessman who seemed to be reporting some news to Feng Dai, and two of Feng Dai's subordinates were also beside him.When Fu Ming entered, the businessman retreated immediately.

Seeing Fu Ming, Feng Dai got up and took Fu Ming's hand to sit down. Fu Ming glanced at Feng Dai's hand that was naturally held, feeling a little uncomfortable, and pulled it back by himself.Seeing Fu Ming's actions, Feng Dai's eyes darkened for a moment, but he soon returned to normal, and returned to business, "Recently, I received news that Hu Qiang might make some tentative moves. If it is strict, it will not be harassed; Lingzhou's multilateral trade is developed, and its interests are widely involved. If it is disturbed here, it will do more harm than good to Hu and Qiang; possible."

Hearing this, Fu Ming became more serious, "What does Master Feng mean?"

"You can just call me Yuanshan, don't call Master Feng so unfamiliar. Maybe it's better to be stationed in Fuping recently, and we have to arrange it carefully, but there is no good strategy to deal with the enemy." Everyone saw Feng Dai's response to Fu Ming. Generally speaking, I dare not underestimate it in my heart.

"Staying in Gaoling, if there is anything, it is really too far away. Hu Qiang's attack is often unexpected, and Hu Qiang's individual soldiers are very brave. Your lord is short of troops. It will be disadvantageous to face the enemy head-on, and the post of county guard is also unnecessary. To defeat the enemy and win victory, the most important thing is to defend the city and keep the people safe."

One person heard Fu Ming's words, but he was dissatisfied, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Sir, don't you think the Qiang people are too naive. How can we keep the city peacefully and the other party will give up on the matter of burning, killing and looting , if you don't use violence to control violence, you can rest in peace."

Fu Ming heard it, and asked Zhili, "Mr.?"

"I'm next, Fan Ran."

"Mr. Fan's words are also reasonable. If Hu Qiang doesn't give Hu Qiang a little color, I think Hu Qiang can't just stop here, but the specific matters need to be arranged in Fuping; Still have to be smart.”

Fan Ran nodded after hearing that.When everyone left, Feng Dai stayed alone, but there seemed to be some irritability in his heart, and he didn't know if it was because of these troubles or something else.Recently, Fu Ming's evasion has long been seen by Feng Dai, and he takes it to heart. Sometimes when the information he releases can't get feedback at all, and the other party tries to avoid it, or the other party is not on the same frequency as him at all, is it true? A thing that is too suffocating to say clearly.You may think that you should be tougher or smarter to find the connecting incision, but when you need to face things or people, maybe it is not your mind and reason that cover you or even control you at the beginning, but Emotional and nervous hormones secreted.So I feel irritable, lost, frustrated, unwilling to accept, want to destroy, and what is easily caught is my fragile and explosive mood, not the reason that should find a way.

If you care enough, you will be able to arouse enough emotions, and the emotions may be courage and determination, or depression and cowardice, so what?Not everyone can be the best at the beginning and become the person who always guides their behavior in the right direction.After being abused by neurotic emotions, addicted to suffocation, you may know how to sort yourself out, or you may never understand it, and become a clogged lunatic.Anyway, many things are like this, if you don't succeed, you will succeed.

Sometimes you find yourself extremely tired without doing anything. If you just want and pursue without so many frustrations and confusions, why are you so troubled?The two of them didn't have much to say for a while, they both felt suspended in the air, and they didn't feel like they had a proper discussion.But it was useless to talk too much, so Fu Ming left first to wake up his two sons and tidy them up, it was time for dinner.

The two children seem to be aware of the weird atmosphere between their father and Feng Dai, but they are too young to figure out why.Therefore, the next few days seemed relatively calm. As long as there was no wind, Feng Dai would take Aru and Ada to see the market. There is no other way to go together.

What attracts children is always delicious food, all kinds of barbecue, meat skewers, cakes, various noodles, and fruits. Although Luoyang has a lot of food, Lingzhou obviously has a strong Northwest flavor, and even seems a bit exotic to children. Features, I like it all the time.Sometimes walking on the street, Feng Dai would feel that this kind of feeling is very good, taking the children with his sweetheart, just leisurely counting the time, as if life should be like this, but unfortunately these are just superficial.

After three days, the group returned to Gaoling.Feng Dai asked Master Bo and Ji Li to stay in Gaoling to handle some daily affairs, so he took Fu Rong and some people he personally selected to go to Fuping.Fuping has long lost the hustle and bustle of the past, but even if the tree has lost its branches, as long as the roots have not died, there is still a lot of prosperity that cannot be seen through at a glance.

After the defeat of Ma Xian and his son, the Eastern Qiang, Jincheng, and Longxi Western Qiang in the Sanfu area joined together, Chang'an Yuanma and the Emperor's Mausoleum were plundered and burned. He served as a meritorious Cao before, but later Zhao Chong died in battle.At the time of Emperor Chong, Liang Hou's envoys slowed down for a while, and it has been nearly five years now. There are disturbances on the border from time to time, but no major wars have occurred.

Although this weekday seems to be peaceful, if there is a commotion, it doesn't seem to matter too much, but as the leader of a place, you should not be too careless at any time. When you are cautious and prepared, there may be no disturbance, but as long as there is something Laziness and relaxation of vigilance can easily lead to catastrophe in border areas.Although there are Zhang Huan and Huangfugui's troops holding the soil with iron claws in the frontier, making Hu Qiang dare not make big moves at will, but the defense of the area still needs to be arranged by the local prefect on weekdays.

Feng Dai discussed with Fu Ming and the others, arranged the daily defense arrangements, and waited for changes.It would be fine if nothing happened, but according to the news received, Hu Qiang will definitely try something out.The most anticipated period of the cold winter is about to pass, but it is still very calm. When everyone is a little numb to the daily rhythm and calm, Fu Ming reminds Feng Dai to be more vigilant at this time.The more it seems that the last moment can come to an end, the easier it is to fall short.Feng Dai had no choice but to order everyone to be more vigilant, but it is not known how much attention this order will attract at this time.

The author has something to say:

Feng Dai's character seems to be weird by me. . .I also have to make a statement, if you see history or something, just let it go, don’t believe it~~ After all, you are not archaeological history, but writing novels, but it seems that no one will compare these truths~~I Why are you so tangled up?
