The three of them had lunch and sat dryly for almost an hour before they were summoned here.

Mr. Tian got up, and Mr. Yan helped him tidy up his official uniform, and watched him leave with others.

Only the father and daughter were left in the house.

Without the teacher watching from the side, Yan Laoer relaxed and didn't seem to be sitting properly. Yan Yu even jumped off the chair, tilted his head, stretched his hands and raised his legs to move around.

He sighed: "It's really not easy to see the prince, you have to wait for such a long time.

Master must be considered good, if we come after dinner, we have to wait, why not come earlier, so that we can have a good meal. "

Yan Laoer couldn't laugh or cry: "Your master can still be like you, just thinking about eating?"

Yan Yu chuckled and started walking around the room.

"This painting looks very good, it is quite valuable, and this incense burner, father, look at it, it is antique."

Yan Laoer also leaned over and nodded: "It looks good. The things that can be placed in the palace are all famous masters. Let's stay away and don't touch them."

Yan Yushen took it for granted, and the father and daughter looked at each other with their hands behind their hands, and they had to comment on each of them.

If you don't listen to the content and only look at the posture, it's kind of bluffing, thinking that the big and small are knowledgeable...

The middle-aged man standing in a hidden corner outside the window sneered.

He walked slowly to the front, coughed lightly in front of the door, and the two people in the room quickly turned their heads to look over.

"My surname is Zheng, and I am the internal steward of the palace."

Steward Zheng was very polite and considerate. He asked the two of them how they had a good lunch, and asked someone to serve fruit and new tea. He said that the prince and Mr. Tian didn't know how long they would have to talk, so he kindly asked the two to wait here. Don't worry. .

Knowing that Yan Laoer is a disciple of Mr. Tian, ​​the closeness increases by another three points.

Zheng Guanshi and Yan Laoer, one intentionally started the conversation, and the other was never cold, and chatted very warmly.

Yan Yu next to him gnawed the plums and pears, and after gnawing the pears, he gnawed the plums.

She could see that steward Zheng was mainly asking about his master and father.

It's just a casual chat, without a focus, it's all very homely.

But it's interesting to put it all together.

It seemed as if he was deliberately trying to find out the details of his master and father.

This steward Zheng asked very skillfully, and I don't know if my father is aware of it.

But there's nothing you can't say about it, Dad is right to tell the truth.

Guanshi Zheng said that there was still something to do, and he looked regretful that he couldn't talk any more.

After seeing off people, Yan Laoer drank several cups of tea in a row.

Pick up the pear and eat it.

"This manager Zheng seems to be here to find out about me." Yan Laoer looked around vigilantly, and said vaguely while eating, lowering his voice.

Who is Yan Yu, her father's dear Dabao, who knows her father so well, not to mention just slurring her tongue, she can guess what he wants to say just by humming.

"It doesn't make sense." Yan Yu said this.

Yan Laoer nodded heavily.

It just doesn't make sense.

What kind of person is he on the card, it is true that he was received by Mr. Tian, ​​but what kind of place is this? It is the palace of the King of England.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this steward Zheng, even if the teacher is in front of him, has to be polite, why is he chatting so warmly with you?

Just because you are a mediocre person without fame?

Or do you really care about Mr. Tian, ​​and ask about your family affairs kindly by the way?

Yan Laoer had no hair on his forehead, so he didn't feel that his head was bubbly and surprisingly effervescent.

Then why did Manager Zheng come here?

What did he do to attract people?

There is nothing else to do except to buy food.

The father and daughter didn't look at each other, they didn't speak for a long time, they just ate and ate.

But I knew in my heart that the people who came up at this time were not right.

"I really didn't expect it." Yan Laoer also imitated her daughter and spoke briefly.

But he knew that his daughter could understand.

Yan Yu hummed. "What should I do?"

Obviously there are people from the palace here.

"What should I do!" Yan Laoer said.

What's wrong with the palace, people who have the palace don't buy food?

That can't be done!

Second Yan: "No wonder your master wants to overturn the table."

Yan Yu thought of what the master said in the carriage.

nodded.

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't dare." Yan Yu was referring to the contractor he met at the government office before.

Kuaiban is responsible for collecting the grain tax, and it is the easiest to do it. The barn must be the same breed, and it is an important place, but it is not the key person.

Dad was right to find the leader of the fast class.

But he is certainly not the one who can call the shots.

This is Fucheng, this kind of business cannot be done without anyone covering it.

I thought it was some master from the government office...

Unexpectedly, it was the internal steward of the British Palace who took the lead.

"Did he think we were stupid when he came out?" Yan Laoer walked around the house, making sure there was no one around, and couldn't help asking his daughter.

Yan Yu shook his head and said, "Probably...you have nothing to worry about?"

The father and daughter suddenly thought of the caisson in the river, not to mention, the styles are quite similar.

...

"Your Majesty Tian didn't come here for the report, so why did you come here?" King Ying said softly.

Lord Tian looked serious, and first reported the loss of population and money in the city and the countryside of Huju, and then changed the subject: "...My lord, I have been repairing the border defense for three years. I thought I could keep Beirong out. It's an official's delusion!

Bei Rong is cunning, crossing the border mountains and forests, cheating to open the city gate, blocking the main roads between Huju, Yongning, and Gufeng. If Fucheng and Gufeng did not rescue them in time, the people of Huju would not have escaped this disaster.

After this battle, the common people suffered, and the officials also felt a lot.

Although the villages and towns fought bravely against the enemy, one of them was not numerous, the other was insufficient in force, and the third was unavoidable.

Once the Bei Rong attack again, they will be unable to defend themselves, and what happened the day before will only be repeated again.

I would like to ask you to provide swordsmen for the bravery of the village, build high towers in each village to warn the enemy, and dig cellars to hide under them.

You can't escape the horse's pursuit with your feet, you can gather and hide in the tower, you can shoot from high places, and block from low places. As long as you hold this fortress, you can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

For example, in Xiao'an Village, without harming a single person, you can kill the enemy by standing on the tower, and when the reinforcements arrive, the bandits will be wiped out immediately.

The officials thought that this method should be widely spread in the border towns.

Set up towers, practice knives and bows, Guanzhou is united to guard our territory! "

The King of England smiled.

"Master Tian thinks Xiao'an Village's method is good, and wants to do the same, but you are living in an empty government treasury, where do you get the money to build the pagoda?

Let’s talk about the sword and bow. I already know about the bamboo crossbow. Although the materials are cheap, the range is limited and the power is weak. Xiao’an Village was able to shoot and kill Beirong because they were defenseless. But after this battle, they should have a long memory. , will definitely think about countermeasures.

The Bei Rong has committed crimes for many years and has succeeded repeatedly. They are not easy people. If you underestimate them, you will only suffer greater losses. Lord Tian must be deeply touched by this statement. After three years of trimming, all achievements fall short..."

King Ying's tone remained unchanged, he was still kind, but his words were sharp and pointed at the person opposite.

Grandpa Tian heard the prince's dissatisfaction, kowtowed his head and said in a deep voice, "It's the lower officials who are incompetent, but if the bandits are not willing to die for a day, I will be insecure for a day if I stay in the tiger. I want to try again, please allow me to ask the prince for permission." .”
