The Possession of My Beloved

As for how Shi Xiujin complained to her father and sister after returning home, Liu Miantang didn't care at all.

On the second day, the carriages in the Huaiyang Palace were also tidy, and Miantang took Xiaoyier and Cui Fujiner on the road together, heading straight for Beihai.

Different from the fear of being discovered by Cui Jiu when she went to the northwest, Miantang followed the army generously, following the carriage.

Although the road to the North Sea is a long way, but in the period of the first emperors, they had expeditions to the North Sea. Originally, Miantang was worried that his son was too young to endure the pain of traveling far. But Xiao Yi'er ate, slept and slept all day, and was basking in the sun by her nanny, so comfortable that her mouth was babbling.

Because Cui Xingzhou had to wear armor, when he entered the realm of the North Sea, he was so hot that he got prickly heat on his body. Although he marched in a hurry, he occasionally found time when he was camping and would ride a fast horse over to reunite with his wife and children for a while.

Every time I saw him take off his armor, his body was red, and Miantang felt distressed when he saw it. Fortunately, she had a lot of medicines with her, so she checked out the itching and dampness medicine and wiped it on Cui Xingzhou. .

. If there is a sneak attack by the enemy at this time, this soldier will be like a shelled snail, ready to be slaughtered.

However, Cui Xingzhou was very happy when he saw his son, Xiao Yier.

The little doll was naked, wearing only a small apron, and ate fruit on the carriage that was covered with gauze and ventilated and shady. As the months get older, Xiao Yier begins to taste the taste of the world. Try some egg yolks and, lately, some fluffy fruit.

So Miantang prepared some soft mashed pulp for him and fed him with a small spoon, only the little baby was lying on the straw mat, shaking his calf desperately, like a dog happily shaking Tail.

While feeding her son, Miantang put the cut fruit pieces into her husband's mouth.

Cui Xingzhou was eating sweet and crunchy fruits, and saw that there were various books scattered on the mat of the carriage, some of which were carefully marked with small characters by Miantang, but he was a little puzzled that Miantang was doing what.

Seeing that Cui Xingzhou was reading the words she wrote, Miantang smiled and said: "There are many foreign races in the North Sea, and there are many wars. I can see the local specialities and understand the customs and customs, you see. …”

She pointed to a line of small characters and said: "The local armor is mostly made of a kind of vine, which can not only resist swords and guns, but also provide shade and coolness, which is much more practical than iron armor."

Cui Xingzhou actually heard from the guide on the way here, and also moved his mind to make armor. But he just arrived, and it took time just to collect the raw materials for making rattan armor, not to mention arranging for manual preparation.

Mian Tang was applying medicine to Cui Xingzhou's back, and after hearing this, he said, "Didn't you send someone to find my brothers? It's not just Beihai that can be a rattan armor. When I heard that you were coming to Beihai, I had nothing to do at home and read the book. When I saw this section, I sent a letter to them, telling them not to come back for a while, but to go to the south to collect the vines, and hire a skilled weaver locally. I also sent them the drawings of the armor weaving. During the days we were on the march, Lu Lao Er wrote to say that most of the drawings have been made, and in a few days, I should be able to send part of it..."

This man and woman think differently. Before the march, Cui Xingzhou thought very carefully, but he didn't expect the Beihai, and those things that the armor could not wear would come up.

Liu Miantang silently thought of these seemingly insignificant things and finished them.

This made Cui Xingzhou realize once again that this delicate woman who gave birth to his son was indeed Lu Wen who fought against him back then.

I still remember that in those days, the heavy rain in the mountains continued. Lu Wen expected that many of his soldiers must have rotten feet. Victory, making his generals almost commit suicide in shame.

Later, he went to Yangshan to find out that Lu Wen's men and horses were waiting for the rainy season early in the morning, and everyone's shoes were filled with moisture-proof grass-ash insoles.

And the thieves in Yangshan also pretended to be merchants who donated money early in the morning, and sent a large number of shoes made of grass to his soldiers. These shoes are usually durable. Love breeds foot disease...

At that time, Cui Xingzhou only thought that this way of thinking and winning was so vicious? What kind of dog person would have to figure it out?

Now that he thinks about it, he is quirky and cunning. He should have guessed that Lu Wen is a woman.

King Huaiyang remembered the pain in the past, and then looked at the woman holding his son in front of him. For a while, he didn't know whether to kiss her properly, or to get rid of his old hatred with a spanking.

All in all, after arriving in the North Sea, the worries about the needs of the soldiers and armors that were discovered were finally resolved smoothly.

When the Zhengzhou army arrived in Cangwu County in Beihai, the four Zhongyi brothers also arrived in time with dozens of carts of soldiers.

In addition to rattan shells, I also brought a lot of herbs such as cool sandals and summer heat. In the letter, Miantang made it clear that King Huaiyang didn't want to see them, so this time the preparations for the armament were to ask their brothers to flatter King Huaiyang, so as not to be disliked by the king in the future and **** again. Get on the wagon and be sent out.

The four brothers of loyalty and righteousness don't care about anyone except the big boss, let alone slap Cui Xingzhou's aloof ass.

But the big boss ordered them, so they naturally had to do it wholeheartedly, in order to show that they were a hundred times stronger than Fan Hu and the like, who were assigned to the big boss by Cui Xingzhou.

In addition to armour, things such as building camps and training navy troops also followed. These are not things that the soldiers and horses of Zhenzhou, who are unfamiliar with, can handle independently.

When Cui Xingzhou arrived in the county, he summoned local officials. The local county governor is an old man with a half-beard, and his name is awakening. Unfortunately, the county governor Su is very greedy for the things in the cup, and he is not sober for most of the day.

He was an official to the censor in the court, but unfortunately, he angered the Queen Mother of the year, and was demoted to Cangwu County all the way. This stay is 30 years. The vigor of youth was almost exhausted by the miasma of Beihai, and the rest was only laziness and sluggishness.

Cui Xingzhou frowned and looked at the drunkard Su County Shou, and asked him about some local things, but the Su County Shou either asked or didn't know, or said that this matter was out of his control.

At the end of the question, the King of Huaiyang was already full of anger, slapped the table and said, "As a local official of Cangwu County, you clearly know that there will be troops from the imperial court. Reinforcements, but you are unprepared, and your attitude is evasive, what does it look like! Are you white-collared with the salary of the court?"

Su County Shou rolled his eyelids, a rare trace of clarity appeared in his eyes, and said with a cold smile: "Xiaguan does not want to receive the salary of the court anymore, but unfortunately now Long live Qingming, the officials in the court are again They are all sensible, and it has been a long time since no one has been demoted to Beihai. The memorial to the old man and returning home has been delivered no less than ten times, but no one has ever picked up the hot potato... King Huaiyang, you have a lot of capable people, otherwise, you will give Please go to the peak and simply dismiss the useless old man like me."

After saying this, Old Man Su excused hemorrhoids and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The King of Huaiyang has not seen such a local official for a long time. If it weren't for this time, he only had the power to dispatch troops and had no local jurisdiction. He really wanted to order the old drunkard to be captured immediately and use a wooden board to heal his hemorrhoids.

However, Li Guangcai persuaded the king of Huaiyang: "Su Xing was a generation of talents back then, but he has been a local official in Beihai for half his life. It's a pity... In Beihai, because there are many alien tribes, most of them are Although the local chieftains are governed by the imperial court in name, they are mostly out of the jurisdiction. The governor of Su County said that he is not under his control. For silver, the annual tribute has to be paid. In addition, the Japanese people are infested, and many local people have fled. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the county governor of Su has no money and no people, so he can’t do anything.”

Cui Xingzhou didn't say anything after hearing this, but in the next few days, he led people to visit several nearby counties and counties. It's a pity that several of them were tall and burly, completely different from the local people who were short and dark. Every time they walked through those low thatched cottages, someone looked at him with strange eyes, especially some of them looked like barbarians, exuding an unfriendly cold light, as if eating people.

Just like the Su County Sheriff said, it is impossible to assemble the local people to quickly build the barracks.

Walking all the way, the weather was dry and anxious, when Cui Xingzhou and Li Guangcai returned to the station, he saw a beautiful woman in a short-sleeved thin shirt greeting under a pergola built The soldiers who built the thatched hut came to drink herbal tea.

Seeing Cui Xingzhou and the others sweating profusely, the leading woman laughed and shouted brightly: "The lord and Mr. Li are back! I have made a new herbal tea to understand the summer heat, just now. It's been cold in the well for a long time, come and drink a bowl to cool off the heat."

She smiled brightly, and when people saw it, the corners of her mouth were raised unconsciously, and most of the troubles in her heart dissipated for a while.

The medical skills that Liu Miantang learned back then came to Beihai again. Today's herbal tea recipe was decided after she tried it several times. Because the medicinal herbs are more effective than the local herbal tea to cool off the heat, and a lot of sweet grass and honey are added to the herbal tea, it removes the original smell of medicine crying, it is very sweet and delicious, and it also hooks a lot for a while. The local doll clawed at the railing and watched eagerly.
