Jiaohua

Chapter 209
Tao Yinhe was training soldiers, and when he heard that he was wearing a suit of armor, he ran out himself.

Seeing the small figure outside the camp, Tao Yinhe was overjoyed and called out, "Ali!"

The little girl's gentle appearance, neither humble nor overbearing, neither anxious nor happy, really made him feel very comfortable.

And with such a small girl, he felt like a girl, so he really wanted to hug her and pat her.

But before and after the arrival, the adults who were saluted by the little girl gave up this idea.

"General Tao," Xia Zhaoyi saluted, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

"You've grown taller, Ali." Tao Yinhe said with a smile.

"Huh? Have you grown taller?" Hearing this, Xia Zhaoyi deliberately lowered his head to look at his own body, raised his head and said with a smile, "Then I would like to grow longer."

"Come on, go in and tell," Tao Yinhe said, "How have you been these days? Where have you been? I have many things to ask you."

Xia Zhaoyi followed him with a smile, and said, "General, do you think I have gained weight and grown white?"

"Yes, you look much better."

"That means I'm doing well." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Hahaha..." Tao Yin laughed loudly.

Entering is a big school field, the soldiers are practicing according to the plan, the dust is carried up by the horseshoes, and is blown by the wind, Xia Zhaoyi is relatively short, and raises his hand from time to time.

Across the practice field, there are two other school fields and a camp full of tents behind.

The sun was still very high, and the shadow of the mountain slanted down on the ground with the branches on the mountain.

A lot of people were standing in front of the big tent talking, and when they saw Tao Yinhe leading the little boy over there, they all stopped and looked.

"Is that Ali?" Zhao Tang asked.

Zhu Pei nodded and looked at the little boy. He hadn't seen it carefully before, and now he couldn't even recognize him, but he always felt that he looked a little different.

At this time, the little boy raised his head and said something to Tao Yinhe, Tao Yinhe stopped and answered.

Zhao Tang supported the handle of the big knife hanging on his waist, and walked towards them: "General Tao."

"General Zhao, I'll take her to Houlin first, and come back later." Tao Yinhe said.

Zhao Tang nodded and looked at Xiao Tong.

The girl's eyes were calm, and she nodded slightly with him with a smile: "General Zhao."

With a thin body, straight back, delicate eyebrows and fair skin, it can be seen that she will be a good beauty when she grows up in a few years.

What is commendable is this kind of bearing, Zhao Tang looked at Huanxi and said, "You are Ah Li."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Zhao Tang took a look at Tao Yinhe and said with a smile: "Don't look at this girl who is still young, she will be great when she grows up in the future. Where are your parents? How about I find a marriage for you? I will definitely satisfy them and make you happy." You will never worry about food or clothing in your life, and you will be served by a bunch of servant girls."

Xia Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, looked at the person in front of him as if he didn't recognize him, and then said flatly: "No need, I'm an orphan now."

"That's even better," Zhao Tangxi said. "Then it's up to you to decide, or I'll find you a adoptive father, and let him come forward to arrange this marriage for you, what do you think? Either you choose it yourself, If anyone looks pleasing to the eye and wants to recognize him as a foster father, I will definitely come forward and settle it for you!"

"Better?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "General Zhao, do you think being an orphan is a good thing?"

Zhao Tang paused and said, "Huh?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled dryly, and looked at Tao Yinhe: "General Tao, let's go."

"En." Tao Yinhe nodded, and looked at Zhao Tang mockingly.

Zhao Tang blinked, watching the girl turn and walk away.

Anyone who heard those words just now would be happy. This is directly finding a backer for a lonely and helpless girl. In such a troubled world, how can you live without a backer?
The back forest is on the other side of the valley at the foot of the mountain. There are lush green trees and clear streams. The forest extends out. After turning around Xiangjuan Mountain, there is a dense and rolling ancient forest, which is fifty miles long.

A cool breeze blew away some of the heat of the sun, Xia Zhaoyi and Tao Yinhe stopped by the stream.

"What I said to the General today, General Yu may fall into infidelity, but he will never be unjust." Xia Zhaoyi turned around and said.

Tao Yinhe nodded and listened to her.

"What is Peifeng most lacking now?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"Ok?"

"Food, clothing, and medicine." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Maybe we have to fight back," Tao Yinhe said with some helplessness on his lips, "We can't keep being passive, those lost lands have to be recovered."

"How much money did the court allocate?"

"Ali," Tao Yinhe smiled, "Why are you asking this?"

"There was a woman who hoarded a lot of medicines. She wanted to take advantage of the plague and sell them at a high price to make a fortune, but the court noticed it in time and dealt with a large number of medicine dealers. She escaped by luck, but the medicines are still there. In the city, she has no way to make a move." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Tao Yinhe looked at her, as if he understood what she meant.

"These batches of medicines are of various types, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, damp-removing and sore-curing products. The price she received was about 3 taels. She can make at least ten times as much money by making a fortune from the plague," Xia Zhaoyi said, "General Tao , 3 taels of drugs received at a price lower than the cost, you can imagine how big this amount is, for the defenders of Peifeng City, this batch of drugs is likely to be the key to life-saving."

Tao Yinhe hesitated: "But if you intercept this batch of medicine behind the back of the court... Once it is discovered, then..."

"If this batch of medicine is taken away by the imperial court, General Tao, how much will be able to arrive at Peifeng by then?"

"The imperial court will never ignore Pei Feng."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Multiple lines are tight, how much can be left for Peifeng, and how many opponents of Zheng Guogong's government in the court, the general is also clear. In my opinion, this batch of medicine is in your hands. Is it more practical than being in someone else's hands and then transferring it to your hands?"

Tao Yinhe thought for a while, but still shook his head: "No, I can't decide this matter."

"Maybe tomorrow," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Emperor Xuanyan will go out of the city to Chongtiantai tomorrow. If she wants to transfer this batch of medicine, it should be tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? In such a hurry?"

"After all, she is very scared," Xia Zhaoyi smiled. "She is determined not to keep this batch of medicine anymore. She should find a way to transport it out of the city as soon as possible. Then you can just block the road outside the city. The biggest problem is her. I solved it for you myself."

"Hmm..." Tao Yinhe responded, but remained silent.

After being silent for a while, Xia Zhaoyi looked at him and sighed: "General Tao, this batch of medicine is in your hands. You can give it to whoever you want, whether it is for the Northern Army, the Dasu Army, or Jiangnan. It’s up to you whether you want to use it as an army, or keep it all for yourself, it’s your right. And if this batch of medicine falls to the imperial court, there may not be much left in the hands of Emperor Xuanyan layer by layer. Think clearly."

"But this matter, I really can't make the decision alone, I have to discuss it with the general, he..."

"Before that, I actually wanted to go directly to Zheng Guogong," Xia Zhaoyi interrupted him, "Zhao Yu is in Peifeng, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with time. Why don't you go to the city and try to find Zheng Guogong?"
