424 Re-scrape oil
Everyone present, including the old patriarch, was so angry!
They have never seen anyone more arrogant than Gu An. They are so arrogant that they are going out of the sky. They can't even disturb a child's sleep when they kill people and set fire. When the ancestor wakes up, they want to kill them all. They want to ask if he will stand there and let them kill them if they don't wake him up? Or will he let them go if they can't beat him?
They just can't understand the trouble. It was obviously a battle between the two armies against each other, but why is there a sense of joy everywhere now?
The old patriarch was in a mess in the wind, his eyes full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that behind the famous "butcher" was like this.
Seeing that the old patriarch and others had not moved for a long time, Gu An couldn't help but frown.
Are these people okay? How can they still be distracted when fighting? No wonder the barbarians are far inferior to those in the past. It would be great if they were all like this. The Great Wei can take down the barbarians without much effort.
Gu An hugged Luo Zhantian and looked up at the weather. After October, it was very cold at night, especially the barbarians. This place was too empty and there were few mountains that blocked the wind. There were only one royal city in the city. It was too cold. It was fine for adults, but children were easily sick.
Gu An's patience was exhausted because Luo Zhantian might get sick, so he waved his hand behind him. A group of men in black showed their bodies from all directions. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and rushed towards the old patriarch and others.
The old patriarch and others woke up at this time, and they were defeated step by step after hastily responding. In addition, although the number of people in black was small, they were extraordinary, so the old patriarch and others were quickly injured.
The abilities of these people around Gu An were much higher than the old patriarch expected. The old patriarch suddenly panicked and then quickly asked someone to help the tribe retreat, but he did not expect that the more terrifying wolf pack would be waiting for these people.
The battle ended soon. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Gu An's expression remained the same. The calm and unpredictable heart was a desire for power. He didn't dare to think about one day when he lost power or offended someone. Tang Shi, Gu Yan, Gu Zhehan, Luo Rongxuan, and Luo Zhantian would also be lying here like these people. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but do something stupid and bring the family into a greater crisis.
"A normal mind is important, and strength is even more important."
Gu An's murmur was only heard by Luo Zhantian, who had just woken up, but he really couldn't understand what his grandfather was saying, so he could only yawn with his mouth open and then cry loudly to express his dissatisfaction with the wet diapers.
There are only a few people in a small tribe. It is easy to deal with corpses. You cannot feed the wolves but can be buried after burning them.
It was the evening of the next day that the body was burned and buried. Gu An planned various routes to return to the border in his tent. Shuxiang and Moxiang were watching Luo Zhantian in Gu Yan's tent, and Xiaoyin's family of three were accompanying them.
Xiaoyin was playing with his son, while Xiaoyin's wife Xiaohui stared at Xiaoyin. Sometimes when Xiaoyin accidentally slapped his son with one claw, Xiaohui would rush up and bite Xiaoyin. The poor Xiaoyin didn't dare to anger Xiaohui, so he could only endure it.
The family of three was having fun, and Luo Zhantian looked at Shuxiang and Moxiang with no heart. He didn't cry because he couldn't see his mother at all. But while he was having fun, he didn't move. Shuxiang and Moxiang turned around and looked, hehe, the little ancestor fell asleep.
It is also a skill to be able to fall asleep while laughing so hard that he is tired. Shuxiang and Moxiang couldn't help but sigh secretly and make excuses for their little master.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yan finally returned to the small tribe. Before Shuxiang could sleep, she told Gu Yan about what happened last night.
Gu Yan nodded indifferently, "I understand, I'm talking about how to change the camp."
Shuxiang said: "There are burning marks there, and the blood stains are difficult to remove. Except for digging deep, there is only cover, but someone will get the handle, so it is better to move it out there."
Gu Yan nodded again, "Gorji hasn't sent anyone yet?"
Shuxiang shook her head, "The master has sent someone to inquire, there is no news so far."
Gu Yan thought for a while, "It's not good to let these people withdraw tomorrow."
Shuxiang nodded, said a few more words to Gu Yan, and turned around and prepared toiletries for Gu Yan.
After washing up, Gu Yan hugged Luo Zhantian and fell asleep quickly. The next morning, he was woken up by Luo Zhantian's little hand. When he opened his eyes, Luo Zhantian was holding Gu Yan's nose without crying or making a fuss.
Gu Yan leaned over and bit Luo Zhantian's little hand, "Naughty, I got up so early."
Luo Zhantian was bitten, blinked his cute big eyes and glanced at his little hand, then took a bite in his mouth. Maybe he thought it was delicious, so he didn't put it down and kept it in his mouth to suck it.
Gu Yan was busy washing up for Luo Zhantian, who had woken up, and then fed him, and then cleaned himself and had to eat.
I left the tent and went to Gu An's tent. When I arrived, I was full of people. This time, not only did Gu Yan's more than a dozen secret guards dressed up as women, but even a few slightly stronger men dressed up as women in the Dragon Guard. The others looked weathered and only a few young Dragon Guards didn't change much, but they could also see their careful dressing from the details.
Gu An looked older than the previous few days. He had a little head-up pattern on his forehead, his skin was much rougher, and he was wearing a somewhat worn sheepskin coat.
Everyone hid themselves more carefully, obviously in preparation for the upcoming Gorgi natives.
Gu Yan thought about it and prepared to dress up when she went back later. She must change her clothes into barbarians' clothes inside and out. She had to wear two more pieces to make herself look fatter and her face could be darker.
Feeling that nothing was missing, Gu Yan turned her attention to Gu An.
Gu An said: "The people sent by Gorjiyuan may arrive in the past few days. Everyone must be prepared at any time. If they can't recognize it, it's fine. If they recognize it,...,"
Gu An knocked on the table, "If you recognize it, you will kill them all. We can't go to Gorjiyuan. It's enough to have Gu Zhehan and Ran Shouxin there. We have to be careful that Gorjiyuan will regret it. I don't want to put everyone in."
The captains of each team nodded in agreement, but none of them spoke. There was no other sound in the tent except Gu An's speech.
Gu An instructed everyone to be careful, and then arranged the meal reasonably according to the approximate time of staying in the barbarians, which allowed everyone to leave.
In the next few days, Gu Yan still lived a leisurely life. Although she often missed Luo Rongxuan and Tang, she focused more on Luo Zhantian.
Compared to Gu An and Gu Yan's leisure, Gu Zhehan's nothing is done. Tang, who is far away in the capital, is busy, allowing a lot of trivial matters to occupy her mind and make her try not to think about Gu An, Gu Zhehan and Gu Yan.
The day passed in a flash, and it was the most difficult time at night. I lay on the bed and touched the cold quilt next to me, covering the quilt with a quilt so much that I couldn't help crying. The next day, I was still dressed neatly and became the noble lady of the first-rate Liangguo.
Empress Dowager Jin and Empress Feng knew that Tang was in pain. If they had something to do, they would call Tang into the palace to talk. Those who were determined to step on Tang and the Gu family when Gu An was not around all thought about it when they saw some scenes, and they felt that even if Gu An was not around, they would not be able to offend Tang.
Although Gu An and Gu Zhehan are unknown, Gu Yan left the capital to find Gu An and Gu Zhehan and his son, and the civil and military affairs of the court are well known. Gu An and Gu Zhehan and his son are obvious to all. They say that they will be defeated by the barbarians, and no one believes that there is Gu Yan, so that the father and son will come back sooner or later.
Everyone knows these things, but some people always think that Gu An and Gu Zhehan may not be able to come back after no news for five or six months, so they stumbled a few times when they were fine. After they got the lesson, they would be honest for a few days, and then they came out to make things uncomfortable. In the end, they annoyed Tang's family, so Tang's family was unwilling to go out.
Tang doesn’t like to go out, but she can’t help but send someone to send me a post. Some people can recommend it, while others are not easy to recommend it. Especially the families who have a good relationship with Gu family and Gu Yan, it’s really hard to leave after posting it to Tang.
Among such families, there is Wu'an Hou Mansion. Fortunately, Wu'an Hou Mansion has a clear understanding of the situation and the capable Wu's guards. Those who are disgusting cannot enter and see the Tang family. However, in this way, Wu'an Hou Mansion has offended many people.
Tang saw these things but didn't say much. It's enough for some favors to know, and there is no need to repay them with great fanfare. People's favors are mutual. When Gu An comes back, he will naturally return them to Wu'an Hou Mansion.
As November approaches, the first snow falls in the capital. The snow is not heavy and melts when it falls. Even so, it is enough to make the people happy. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I believe that next year's harvest will be better.
After a few days, the second snow fell in the capital. After the second snow, the governments in the capital started to move again and posted posts to prepare a snow-watching banquet for other families.
Tang, who received a stack of posts, threw the post aside disdainfully, "Haha, it's so thoughtful! The border wars are coming, and it's time to defeat the family before they even made a big fight. How great is it to send the money for the banquet to the border!"
After saying that, Tang ignored these things and focused on dealing with the daily life in the mansion. While standing and serving, Mother Zhao's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Madam, the snow has stopped. Why not go to the palace to invite the Queen Mother and the Queen."
Tang looked up at Zhao's mother, "Hmm?"
Looking at Zhao's mother's smile, Tang immediately understood, and he stroked his hands and laughed, "Hahaha..., it's still the wet nurse who understands my heart."
Tang wrote a memorial to pay homage to Gu Yan, Chang Sheng, who was running errands, and soon the person came back.
Chang Sheng smiled and asked Tang for peace, stood up and said with a smile: "Madam, I just handed the memorial to approve it. I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress both came down and said that as long as the wife handed the memorial to enter the palace, she could approve it directly. She could go in and pay her respects the next day. The wife was ready to prepare and could enter the palace tomorrow."
When Tang heard that Empress Dowager Jin and Empress Feng treated her with such favorable treatment, he immediately stood up and knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace and said some thankful words. Then he happily packed up his things and prepared to enter the palace.
The Yulong Guard, who was in the dark, monitored Tang's every move, passed the news back to the palace. Emperor Wen of Wei, who learned the news at the first time, laughed with satisfaction.
"Yes, Gu An's family is better off, so I feel at ease when doing things."
But there were only a few small things and a little favor. But Tang did not take these small things for granted, but knelt solemnly, indicating that she had a royal family and an emperor in her heart, and placed herself in an extremely low position. She did not become complacent because Gu An and his children were fighting on the border and the Wei Dynasty needed them. This made Emperor Wen of Wei very happy and felt that Tang was very rare.
Coupled with the performance of the Tang clan when the Gu family and his son were in Changzhou, Emperor Wen of Wei became even more satisfied with the Tang clan.
But after a moment, Emperor Wen of Wei was worried again.
Tang said that he wanted the governments in the capital to donate silver. Needless to say, he was the first one to be the sucker.
Sure enough, after entering the palace the next day, Tang and Empress Feng finished speaking politely, and began to entrust the banquet.
"Oh! It's a good thing to snow, but now my Wei Dynasty is in a luxury and I want to take advantage of the snow to hold a banquet. This is not good. The money costs a lot of money to hold a banquet. What's wrong with this money? Especially when the border is fighting, we can't help much, so how can we spend all the money on this?
The Empress Dowager is not a stingy wife, but a soldier who is on the border is not worth it!
These soldiers from the Great Wei Dynasty fought bravely at the border, but we were looking for fun in the rear. It was really... Oh! We had to buy vegetables and hire a chef to hold a banquet? We had to buy some flowers to suit the situation, right? We also had to buy clothes for our daughter and son? We also bought some beads, hairpins, jewelry, jade pendants, and pendants. All of them were spent huge amounts. What would it be better to do with this money? Although the border soldiers were able to eat enough after our efforts, there were really not many meats and vegetables, let alone nutrition. In the long run, will the bodies of those soldiers bear it?
If you are not in good health or not strong enough, how can you fight against those barbarians? My wife heard that those barbarians eat beef and mutton for many years, and are as strong as cows. Even newborn babies are much stronger than those born in our Great Wei. No wonder the people there are all in good health. A barbarian soldier can beat four or five of our Great Wei.
Alas! We only have 200,000 troops, and Hurzatai also leads 200,000 troops. In this way, wouldn’t we use 200,000 troops to 800,000 troops? Hey! It’s really hard for these soldiers!”
Queen Mother Jin and Empress Feng knew what Tang had entered the palace, so they made up their minds to take the lead in donating money again and scrape down the various prefectures in the capital, so they were as clear as if they were going to say something.
They thought Tang would start with themselves and said nothing about Gu An, Gu Zhehan and Gu Yan wanted to send some clothes and food to the border, and then used this as an excuse to mention the soldiers who had no one to deliver things, and then said a few good words to ask them to donate money.
Unexpectedly, Tang didn't play any rules at all. She only talked about the huge expenses for hosting a banquet, so that the more they listened to what Tang said, the more they felt reasonable, and the more they wanted to donate money.
