I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 195 Martial Arts

Shen Changsui patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaoye and I are going together. We will set off in a few hours."

"Didn't you say we could just go home, sir?" Shen Cungeng grabbed his arm.

Shen Changsui shook his head, "It was possible an hour ago, but not now."

"Why?" Shen Cungeng looked at Xiao Ye, whose expression remained unchanged, and then looked at Mr. Pan, hoping that they would speak.

However, neither of them spoke. Mr. Pan even sighed and exchanged glances with Shen Changsui in silence.

Shen Xiaoye pulled his cousin out of the main room and came to the kitchen, then patted the little black cat to let it keep watch.

Then he said to Shen Cungeng, who was frowning, "Cousin, Agula's father, Aruhan, has implicated me. I must go out for a while."

"What did he confess again?" Shen Cungeng thought that he had been told everything he knew last time.

Shen Xiaoye said: “I can’t tell you.

You and your uncle should take care of the family affairs. When the main house in the east courtyard is built, you can dig a pond in the courtyard to soak the woad, so as not to let down the grass planted by your great grandfather. "

Shen Cungeng didn't take it to heart. He said, "I'll go with you."

Shen Xiaoye did not try to persuade him, but quietly changed the fire and boiled water. Shen Cungeng was so angry that he squatted at the door and looked at the sky. The kitchen was extremely quiet.

A moment later, the little black cat meowed, and soon Guard Xia came in from the second door, went straight to the kitchen, put down a large basket of things, and said: "Miss Shen, these are the water bags you asked for, I prepared ten.

There are also various pills and medicines for external injuries, sugar and salt, all here.

In addition, the horse we rented last time has been returned, but because we did not return the horse on the agreed time, we paid more silver.

Here are the leftovers, order some." Normally, if he was on a business trip, he could report the expense to his superiors, but Miss Shen insisted that she prepare another portion herself.

Shen Xiaoye took the remaining silver and said, "Thank you for trouble, Guard Xia. I'll be ready soon."

Guard Xia nodded and left, going to look for Shen Changsui again.

In the main room, the teacher and student who were talking heard the footsteps and stopped talking.

In the kitchen, Shen Cungeng finally sighed a long sigh. He knew that this time was different from the last time. Neither Fourth Uncle nor Xiao Ye would let him go. He got up to help his cousin boil water and said, "Are you ready for the clothes and other things?

There are also weapons for self-defense, and some poison powder, etc. I will find someone to buy some for you?"

"Everything is ready. Cousin, Xia is with me to protect them, so there will be no danger." Shen Xiaoye could only use pale words to tell him not to worry.

She glanced out the window and whispered as she scooped hot water into the basin, "Also, my fourth uncle told me that he privately asked Taoist Qingxi to lead a team of Taoist priests to follow us quietly."

When Shen Cungeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "That's great."

However, when the time came to leave, he was still very reluctant to leave and kept reminding his two closest relatives to be careful.

Mr. Pan has also been waiting until now. He pulled Shen Changsui to the side and said again: "I'm still worried, let Shicun go with you."

Shen Changsui disagreed: "Sir, my team has twenty people in the open, but there is actually another team in the dark.

As you can see, these twenty people are all very strong and healthy.

Furthermore, there are many guard posts on the Xuanda front that can be mobilized at any time."

"Don't ask for help from the guards unless your life is in danger. Remember this." Mr. Pan looked at the two sides of the carriage. He saw the Ti riders who looked so imposing even in ordinary cloth clothes. He could only remind him more.

Shen Changsui naturally knew that he was a commoner and could not act rebelliously just because of a temporary favor. He couldn't tell his teacher that the only people he could count on were Xia Huwei and others. Without the royal order, he could not borrow the soldiers from the garrison.

With the reluctance of the master and his nephew, he took Xiaoye on the carriage. During the journey, some neighbors from the alley passed by and took a look out of curiosity.

Mrs. Zhu, in particular, waved to Shen Xiaoye at the car window. She didn't walk quickly to the door of Lu's house until their car left the alley.

"Young Master Shen, is Miss Xiaoye going on a long journey?" She couldn't see anything inside the two carriages, but she saw a dozen or so people riding horses, all carrying luggage.

Shen Cungeng reacted quickly. He said, "Go to Xuanfu to pick up my cousin. The boy brought a lot of stuff with him. He sent a message saying that he met a strong man on the way. If I don't hire some escorts, my family will be worried."

"It should be." Mrs. Zhu nodded half-doubtfully, and then she noticed Mr. Pan sitting in a wheelchair.

She bowed awkwardly and left quickly just like when she came.

When Shen Cungeng saw Shicun bringing the mule cart over, he said, "Sir, let's go back too."

Without Fourth Uncle and Xiao Ye, the Lu residence had no appeal to him at all.

He didn't know why Xiao Ye had to make this trip. He wanted to ask the master, but when he thought about what Xiao Ye said about the north and south in the teahouse in the capital city, which had already reached the ears of the emperor, he gave up the idea of ​​asking.

I hope they come back soon, the family said in private behind closed doors.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoye was talking to Shen Changsui in the carriage: "Are the girls that Aruhan mentioned really important? In the Northern Tartars, women are just vassals."

“She is not important, but her identity is very important for us to enter the Northern Territory.

Now, we just hope that the people who set out with us earlier can control her." Shen Changsui stroked the little black cat's fur.

Today they saw Aruh Khan leaving, but they didn't expect that in order to return to the grassland, this man asked someone to report and betrayed the little daughter of the Liangzhou commander who was secretly raised in Xuanfu.

Coincidentally, Xiao Ye was of the same age as the girl, and Guard Xia suggested that Xiao Ye go to Mobei in her place.

He added: "Xiao Ye, the person in the car behind is Aruhan, be careful not to get close to him.

This man killed his own companions without mercy. He knew that the army was sweeping away the invaded, but he still longed to return to his tribe. His ambition was not small.

According to what he said, he specifically left his confidants in Xuanfu to provide support. What kind of behavior is this?"

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows? He was willing to leave Agula in the Great Zhou." Shen Xiaoye could see that the father and son had a really deep affection.

Shen Changsui has a different view: "He is in his prime, and when he has some power in the future, there will be many young women who want to have children.

You see, he kept Agula and said he wanted him to be a guide for the army, so His Majesty immediately appointed him as a hereditary centurion.

After sweeping away the invaders, he can completely use the title of the Celestial Empire to rule his own tribe, or even annex other small tribes and continue to grow stronger. "

Shen Xiaoye sighed, "I'm not afraid of the Northern Barbarians attacking Caogu, I'm just afraid that they will have more people like this."

It just so happens that every time a dynasty in the Central Plains was in its early days, it was full of military virtues, but if it showed any sign of weakness later, it would be attacked by the northern barbarians.

Shen Changsui: "That's why the emperor insisted on leading the army in person to effectively annihilate their manpower."

"How do we maintain a strong martial virtue? The feudal army becomes less and less combat-effective as time goes by." Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but ask.
