The devil is coming

Chapter 390
The expedition team came back. This was an extremely hasty expedition. The main force was Ke Yan's tribe who had just entered the Snow Customs territory and had not yet had time to integrate.
But haste, is equal.
As the saying goes: It’s hard for you, hard for everyone, but I’m not afraid of it; easy for you, I’m easy for everyone, but I’m not careless.
Under the same prerequisites, everyone, whether they are the attacker or the defender, is actually very sloppy. However, on the Xueguan side, the sloppy rules actually have their own rules, while on the Naiman tribe, there are many mistakes and omissions.
Facing this kind of opponent, if you don't play a fast-paced and extremely exaggerated battle damage ratio, no matter what happens, it will be unjustifiable.
There are many soldiers on the North City Gate of Xuehaiguan. Since the army went out for the expedition, the defense of the North City Gate has suddenly become a top priority.
The blind man has always been steady in his work. Although he doesn't think there will be any big problems in this expedition, after all, after all, the Chengguo army went to the snow plains and was pushed back by a wave of flow and lost the snow customs. On his side, naturally Have to be more careful.
Fortunately, the news of the great victory on the front line had come back early, and there was great joy inside and outside Xueguan.
The blind man was sitting on a chair in the tower, with a coffee table on his left hand side, with two oranges and a cup of tea on it.
Si Niang was sitting on the chair next to her, crossing her legs and knitting clothes.
"Has the reward been distributed?" the blind man asked.
"I sent the order last night, and it should be sent out this morning."
Basically all the industries in Xueguan are controlled by the Earl's Palace. Just as the news of the great victory came, some welfare and discount promotion activities started, and they were all daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil, which can be said to be real. Affordable.
After a big victory, it is natural to have fun with the people, so that the soldiers and the people can feel the dividends that the war can bring to them.
Only in this way can they spontaneously support future wars.
The flag of national justice is indeed useful, but the problem is that in the mixed multi-ethnic state of Xuehai Customs, this trick cannot be used.
But from the blind man's point of view, even if it is tinkered with a style similar to "Knights", it is actually not bad.
When Liu Bei was in Shuhan, his regime was actually in the style of the Knights.
Adapt measures to local conditions. In the current situation, the main theme is to focus on foreign development as much as possible between the military and civilians.
Siniang put down her work and asked:
"Has the work of welcoming the army back been done well?"
"It's done. Keep it busy."
"Well, after this battle is over, we will be much richer, and A Ming will not have to run around. We can re-establish the workshop system first. After this winter, everything will be on track. .”
If you're not a home owner, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, especially for such a big stall.
Uncle Zheng has always been used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, but fortunately the demon kings under his hands can support him.
"There have been a lot of refugees coming every day lately, so we have to do a good job of sorting them out," the blind man reminded.
After the Snow Customs area stabilized, the people who had fled and hid in the nearby mountains and forests began to slowly come out. At the same time, some refugees who had fled further away also moved here after hearing that there was food here. .
This is also due to the good publicity work done along the way of the migration, describing Xuehaiguan as a paradise, so it has a huge appeal to those displaced by the war.
"I know." Siniang nodded, "Anyway, when people are everywhere now, we'll take as much as they come."
In addition, the proportion of old, weak, sick and disabled people who can escape and insist on escaping is really small, because the old, weak, sick and disabled people simply cannot make it here. Even if there are, then they must be accompanied by young and strong people.
"The reorganization of troops and horses should also be put on the agenda."
"We'll discuss this with the Lord after he comes back. It's not appropriate for us to make the decision on our own without permission."
"My lord, you have discussed it with me before going on the expedition, and the basic regulations have actually been finalized. From now on, the Xuehaiguan troops and horses will most likely be divided into four towns. Each town has many camps under its jurisdiction. These four towns will be in turn. They are: Yanzi Town, Manzi Town, Jinzi Town, and Yezi Town that may be established in the future if the beating of the snowfield is completed."
Hearing this, Siniang reached out to pick up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Is it imitating the Eight Banners?"
The Eight Banners system is also divided into Manchu Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners.
"That's about it. The soldiers and horses we have now are indeed complex. Instead of forcibly mixing them together without distinguishing between you and me, it is better to separate them in the system first, and then do more polishing at the general level.
Of course, the four towns cannot simply be called by that name. Just add names like Huwei, Podi, Wanjie, etc. The basic framework must be determined first, and a new round of integration can be carried out as needed in the future. "
The blind man rubbed his eyebrows and continued:
"Actually, we should cross the river by feeling the stones, take it step by step, and make corrections step by step. It's too late."
"Ah."
"However, the most urgent task at the moment is to raise your level. Si Niang, have you thought about it?"
Si Niang put down her teacup and remained silent.
"Actually, I haven't thought about it either." The blind man said.
Siniang said, "I've thought about it."
"Oh?"
Si Niang stretched out her body, her figure was graceful and revealing,
"After all, we have slept in the same bed, and there is nothing we can't say. However, I don't know whether he is destined to have me, but it is obvious that I must have him in my life.
In ordinary people's lives, women rely on the men who are the pillars of the family. Without the pillars of the family, life will be difficult.
As a grown-up woman, I can still understand this point.
In this world,
It is beautiful to be in love and love each other;
But ultimately,
All the couples in the world who share the same bed every day,
God knows how many bedfellows there are.
this day,
Don’t we have to live like this? "
The blind man reached out and patted his chest and said:
"Why do you sound a little scared when you hear this tone? Our Lord was a decent person in his last two lives, but he never really fell in love or got married. Don't be too cruel, it will really hurt our Lord. Heart."
"Oh, do you really care about the Lord?"
"No way, I care about you. Tell me, there is a Hakka living next to our Lord. Even if he has given birth to a child, his appearance is still good.
Maybe after returning from this expedition, my lord can catch another vixen in the snowfield.
Don't play with yourself and make yourself miserable. Even our mistress will have to be replaced by then. If you don't feel awkward, we still feel awkward. "
Si Niang smiled "hehe",
The half piece of clothing that had just been knitted suddenly fell off by itself, and the silver needle threaded the threads and kept flowing on Siniang's fingertips.
Only two words are left:
"He dares."
……
"I said, as for you, you should eat and drink. Third Master, I won't let you stay with the Lord. Don't bear any grudge against me. Third Master, I am doing this for your own good.
Don't think that just because you are a vixen you can really charm all men.
The son next to our master is a famously jealous master, but he can’t kill his father now and he can’t be a dutiful son, but he definitely wants his father to be a widower for the rest of his life;
Besides, even after passing the test of his son, there is still a woman by our Lord's side. That woman, in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, none of you can compare to her.
Even if we talk about scheming and means,
You should take a rest as soon as possible.
The third master just didn’t want to see a fox carcass fished out while freezing watermelon in the well one day, so he kindly left it here for you. "
The fox huddled up in a corner of the carriage feeling aggrieved and dared not speak out.
Why can that black cat stay with Mr. Hirano?
Do you have to stay with this short-legged tiger?
man,
Oh no,
Monster,
It is also a virtue. What the demon is afraid of is also contrast. Only with contrast can the damage be doubled.
When Hua Ji was still crying secretly in grievance,
At the front of the team, Uncle Zheng, who was riding Pixiu, stretched out his hand to touch the hair on the black cat and said to Liang Cheng, who was riding beside him:
"Have all the envoys been sent to other tribes?"
"It has been sent out, Lord."
"Well, when you get back, mention this matter to the blind man and ask him to follow up. Those tribes who want to support the Naiman tribe must give me some blood."
"Yes, my lord."
Wait until noon,
The expedition team escorting cattle, sheep, prisoners of war and slaves finally arrived at Xuehaiguan. The north gate of Xuehaiguan opened wide and a grand welcome ceremony was held for the triumphant soldiers.
Immediately after the welcome ceremony came the rewards for military achievements. For the Keyan people, this was definitely a timely gift, especially after they saw that after returning from the expedition, their families had already lived in tents and sufficient food was distributed at home. The joy, excitement and satisfaction are beyond words.
Next, there is a series of processes that Uncle Zheng must participate in.
There will be a grand bonfire party in the evening, and Uncle Zheng not only has to show up, but also has to deliver a speech.
After all this was over, Zheng Fan dragged his slightly tired body back to his mansion.
To be honest,
Sometimes attending such political shows is really more tiring than fighting outside.
When I got home, I sat down on a chair in the hall and waited for Mrs. Hakka to bring me a footbath to wash my feet.
Unexpectedly, a wisp of fragrant wind came, and the smell was particularly familiar.
Zheng Fan raised his head and looked at Siniang who was standing in front of him holding a wooden basin.
In fact, a few days before the expedition, everyone was a little embarrassed because of Xue San's incident, and they also needed some space and time between each other.
The unexpected war against the Naiman tribe made this awkward situation longer.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Zheng Fan smiled.
Ordinary scene words.
Siniang smiled slightly, knelt down, put Zheng Fan's feet into the wooden basin, and prepared to wash Zheng Fan's feet.
"No, Si Niang, I will do it myself."
"The guest family can wash it, but I can't wash it myself?"
"She is a servant, you are not."
Siniang smiled slightly and said, "I'll prepare some midnight snacks for you, Master."
It is impossible to eat well at a bonfire party, because there are too many places to socialize. Even if no one dares to persuade Uncle Zheng to drink, he still has to walk around with a wine glass... Well, pat the shoulders everywhere , is also very tiring.
Zheng Fan washed his feet and walked into the bedroom. He saw several exquisite side dishes already placed on the small table in the bedroom, and Si Niang was pouring wine.
sat down at the table,
Zheng Fan sighed lightly,
He knew that Si Niang had something to say to him.
There are some hurdles that you can't jump over or ignore.
"My lord, I have something to say to my lord."
Siniang handed Zheng Fan a glass of wine.
Zheng Fan reached out and took it. He didn't drink it, but put it in front of him. He picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and said:
"Well, let's talk."
As a master, as a promotion machine, you have to get used to your role.
Siniang seemed to have had some drinks before, and there was a sense of amorous feelings between her eyebrows.
"My lord, during the days when you went on the expedition, I thought about it for a long time, and thought about how we lived in the past.
If you live your life plainly, you may not be able to live a more comfortable life;
After living in confusion, I realize that it is rare to be confused and feel at ease.
But, right now, it’s not possible if you don’t understand it. The slave family wants to advance. "
"Well, I know."
The attraction of regaining strength is something even a devil can't resist.
"But, Lord, whether you believe it or not, in fact, if it is just about advancing, the slave family is really not that anxious. There are some thorns. Now that it has appeared, we cannot treat it as non-existent.
It will hurt, and it will remind you from time to time that it is still there. "
Zheng Fan took another bite of food.
Then he picked up the wine glass.
"My lord, let me speak from the bottom of my heart. This slave has no love between men and women towards my lord."
The hand holding the wine glass,
Freeze.
"The slave family has really thought about it for many days, and the slave family has also thought about whether I should lie to you or not, to lie to men, the slave family is the best at it.
But I still feel that I should tell the truth to you, my lord.
The slave family really doesn’t love the master, at least, it’s not the kind of feeling between lovers, really not.
The slave family also wanted to look for it, but couldn't find it, really couldn't find it. "
Zheng Fan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
face,
There is no emotion at all.
even,
When he looked up at Siniang again,
But found that
I can feel more calm.
Some things, once said, are actually comfortable for both parties.
"There has never been a man in the slave family. Although many parts of the slave family have been used by your master, the slave family has always retained that place."
Zheng Fan wanted to ask, what kind of relationship do we have?
Making friends?
Regular customer?
But I felt that no matter what I said now, it would be sour as if I had been given a good guy card, so I had better keep silent.
Gee,
how to say,
This feeling now.
"My lord, do you think that the slave family approached your lord at the beginning and the gang leader joined that one because they wanted to use this method to advance themselves?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "No."
"My lord, have you really never thought about it this way?"
"Really do not have."
Zheng Fan gave this answer very firmly.
Because Si Niang has no need to do this and has no reason to do so.
She is not a vase, nor is she an old madam who only knows how to open a red curtain.
She has the ability. In fact, whether it was in Hutou City or the subsequent moves to Xuehaiguan, she was actually in charge of the family's business, and the blind man was more responsible for other aspects.
She can completely rely on her own ability and ability to make a living like Liang Cheng, Xue San, and A Ming.
Since Liang Cheng and the others were able to advance step by step before,
There's no reason she can't.
And from the beginning, because of Zheng Fan's "fear" of Feng Siniang, although he would appreciate Siniang's beauty and charm, he really didn't think about having the opportunity to kiss Fangze.
Because it was too scary, he, Zheng Fan, didn't dare.
If it hadn't been for Siniang's own initiative at that time, Uncle Zheng would never have taken that step on his own.
Of course, when I heard these words, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I really didn't mean to blame anyone. I had been enjoying it, but in the end I had to blame the other person;
What's the difference between this and the two-skinned man who earnestly advises the young lady to be a good person after the prostitution?
What about the face?
However, that slight discomfort is unavoidable, because people always add some fantasies of their own to their own lives, their own future, and some beautiful things.
It is also difficult for people to be truly satisfied. It is an instinct to want to go to Long and look at Shu.
"My Lord, many times, the Nu family themselves don't know what their situation is. The Nu family is not like the blind A Cheng San'er and others;
They have a past, they have a beginning, they have a past, they have come step by step, changed, matured, and experienced bit by bit.
And I only have experiences.
Can the Lord understand what I mean? "
Zheng Fan nodded.
He understood, because for example, the story of the blind Liang Cheng Aming actually had a beginning and happened, and they had a more complete context.
As for Siniang, most of the cartoon plots are about running a brothel in different cities with different backgrounds in different eras. Her most classic image is leaning on the railing on the second floor of the brothel and looking into the distance.
The scenery in the distance may be the romance of Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty; it may be the revelry in Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty; it may be the drunken life and death in the style of the Republic of China;
Or it could be traffic on a neon background.
She was very shrewd, but in fact she was very confused. She seemed to be looking for something. Gradually, she seemed to have forgotten what she was looking for, and just kept looking and looking.
Si Niang stretched out her hand,
Touched Zheng Fan's face,
then,
She brought her face closer,
The breath of each other blows on each other's face, making it slightly itchy.
"My lord, I don't know what the so-called love between a man and a woman is. I feel that, my lord, you are not the man I love."
Uncle Zheng suddenly felt some signs of angina pectoris;
But still smiling,
stay calm,
He asked calmly:
"Then what kind of man do you like?"
When Si Niang heard this,
A look of sadness immediately appeared on his face,
Then he stepped back,
He threw the wine bottle in his hand directly to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, so the wine bottle was not broken, but the wine spilled all over the floor, and the surrounding area was immediately filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Si Niang stretched out her hand,
Lifting the black hair from her temples,
He said sadly:
"In the eyes of the slave family, men are all turbid things. When they get close, they feel stinky. They can only be regarded as rats crawling around in the smelly ditch, not even human beings.
My lord, I don’t have the same admiration for you as a woman has for a man. I’m not lying.
The Lord previously asked the slave what kind of man he likes;
In fact, the slave family had no choice at all.
because,
In the eyes of slaves,
This world,
There is only one man in the Lord. "
----
Goodnight everybody.
