Qianshan No. 2 Dunbao had just rained, and there was mud everywhere in the camp.
"Take the fodder to the drying field to dry. It will be sent to Tianning Village tomorrow. Master Tan tells you that this is for the war horses. The war horses are more precious than you. What can you do without food?"
Tan Laizi's face was shiny. After saying this, he grabbed a duck rack and took a bite. The meat on it was almost gone. There was a duck leg left on the table, which he saved for last. There were a group of children next to him.
, squatting on the dirt floor under the table, staring straight at the duck rack in Tan Laizi's hand. Tan Laizi broke open a bone, licked it carefully again, and threw it aside when there was no more meat. A group of children paused.

They scrambled into a ball, with splashes of mud flying everywhere. Tan Laizi glanced at him with a little disgust, and then said to Jiang Guan, "That General Zheng Bai of Tianning Village, the first division of the garrison battalion, is also great.
A strong man, I feel sympathy for Mr. Tan. He asked me to do some errands for our Dunbao.
, because they are interested in us, no one is allowed to delay." Jiang Guan said respectfully, "Don't delay the materials. The sedan chair for Mr. Tan is almost ready. We only need the fabric for the top cover, which still has to wait.
Cloth vendors from Fucheng are coming. Then Mr. Tan will go to Tianning Village to do business, so he won't have to walk hard.
." Tan Leizi looked radiant in the face of several chiefs. The sedan was filial to him by the chiefs. If he could sit on the sedan, he would be considered a real master. The only drawback was that there were too few women. Among these servants,
The female relatives are all skinny
, it’s far worse than Poziying.
But it is much more beautiful than when we were at the dock before, and Pozi Camp may not be able to go back. I am still waiting for a response from Tang Ershuan. I heard that Pozi Camp is still in Susong. I don’t know what the situation is like now.
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Tan Laizi's lips, and he couldn't help but throw away the duck rack, and then brought a duck leg to his mouth.
Before I could bite it, I heard a voice shouting anxiously next to me, "Master Bao Tan knows that five people under Nine Flags have been arrested by the local people."
The beautiful scenery in front of Tan Laizi suddenly disappeared, and the reality turned into mud again. He turned around and saw the commander-in-chief of Nine Flags lying on the ground, "What is going on?"
"They said they were cutting the grass in their fields, but I saw they were digging holes over there, and I was afraid they were going to bury them."
"Buried..." Tan Leizi did not expect such a cruel thing, so he stood up with a cry. The general manager and the tenants around him thought he was going to save people, so they quickly made way.
Tan Leizi waved his hand, "Then go find the instructor. Catching the criminal and chasing the escape are all matters of the instructor."
The commander-in-chief of Nine Flags said in surprise, "They are not escaping, they are going to be buried."
"It's the same as escaping. If you don't find Wu Xundao, you'll be gone. If you don't find him, who should you look for?"
Deputy Pier Commander Jiang Guan hesitated and said, "Wu Xundao won't care about it. He didn't go out after chasing him last time. This time he didn't go out for three days..."
The door curtain behind him made a sound, and everyone looked over and saw Wu Tachai walking out slowly. He was still wearing the red military uniform of the garrison, his face was a little yellow, and he was holding a waist knife in his left hand. He had just walked out of the house.
When I came out, my eyes were still not used to the sunlight outside. I squinted and looked around. Then I limped towards the table. When I got to Tan Lezi, I slapped my waist knife on the table. Everyone was shocked.
, Tan Laizi was so frightened that he jumped up from the bench and took three steps back.
Wu Dacai looked at Tan Leizi indifferently, "Who told you that Zheng San'er is a great warrior? He was the first person I beat on the school field. When I was promoted to president, he was not even a flag commander. What's the matter?
Incredible." Tan Leizi subconsciously took another step back and looked at Wu Dacai with his neck crooked. This instructor never even left the house on weekdays. He didn't care about arresting criminals and chasing escapes. He didn't select reserve troops, and he didn't even compete with Tan Lezi.
Meat to eat, never seen before
Such a look.
Wu DaCai took a step closer and glared at him and said, "Although Zheng San'er is not great, you, who was chased by two women and jumped into the river in Erlang Town, do you deserve to be with him?"
"You're talking nonsense. You are clearly three wives." Tan Leizi shouted as he backed away, "Wu Dacai, let me tell you, don't think that I don't know you. It doesn't matter if you sue the superior..." "You should be a captain.
If you don't even dare to save the villagers, who are you? You have the nerve to say that you are from the garrison camp." Wu Dacai couldn't help but snatched the duck leg from Tan Laizi's hand. Everyone around was stunned, Wu Dacai said
Da Cai took two bites and said to Jiang Guan while chewing, "Bring me that broken sedan chair." Jiang Guan didn't dare to speak, so he quickly asked someone to carry the sedan chair, and several squatters quickly moved it without a roof.
The sedan was carried over, and Wu Tac Choi just finished swallowing the duck meat, sat on the sedan as if no one else was around, and casually threw the remaining duck legs to the little boy next to him.
Boy, causing a splash of mud.
Wu Tac Choi shouted to Dunhu, "Those who want to save people should go with me. If they bury others today, they can bury you tomorrow."
Jiang Guan hesitated and followed the sedan, checking to see if anyone else was following him. The crowds of people were buzzing, and people followed the sedan one after another. Wu Dacai sat high on the sedan without looking back. Nine Flags was on the west side.
Conflicts are most likely to occur when the land intersects with the local people's land. The two bearers walked quickly backwards. When they arrived at the place, they saw nearly a hundred local people gathered around, holding hoes, poles, forks and other agricultural tools in their hands.
There were a few people in the middle who were crying and digging at the same time. It seemed that they were letting the villagers dig holes to bury themselves.
The two bearers stopped far away and did not dare to go any further. The tenants who followed behind them also stopped one after another. Wu Tacai held a waist knife and limped towards the local people without stopping at all.
I mean, those native people saw the garrison camp coming and going every day, recognized the red military uniforms of the garrison camp, and saw this man with a knife walking towards them, how could they?
They dared to block it, but unconsciously moved out of the way. Wu Dacai walked into the crowd alone, surrounded by local people holding farm tools. When he arrived at the place where the pit was dug, he took a look at the naked and muddy households in the pit.
, raised his head and scanned the surrounding native people coldly, "Open your dog eyes and recognize
Okay, my name is Wu Dachai, Wu Dachai, the Chief of Hundreds of the Second Division of the Garrison Camp! You know how he became the Chief of Hundreds. Five horse thieves were killed at Tiger Bridge in Pukou. When you were hiding from thieves this year, I killed five more in Chema River.
indivual."
Wu DaCai pulled out the knife, and there were a row of gaps on the blade. The local people around him were all moving back. "I captured all the people here. These people are not bandits now, they are the Dingkou of the Pangda people. Who wants to
If you dare to bury them, you will be in trouble with me." Wu Tacai stared at the local people around him fiercely, "I want everyone.
Take them away. If anyone dares to come to Dunbao again to cause trouble, I will kill them all!"
At this time, no one dared to speak. They all looked at each other and watched helplessly as the lame officer took Dunhu away.
Wu Dacai passed through the camp in a sedan chair. The tenants on the way gathered on the muddy roadside, carefully looking up at Wu Xundao, who had no sense of existence before.
When he arrived outside his room, all the generals gathered around him. Tan Laizi hid aside and looked at Wu Dacai in surprise.
Wu DaCai didn't say anything to anyone. When he got off the sedan and was about to go back to the house, Jiang Guan said from behind, "Master, just now Cai Tangma sent a letter, ordering... Master Wu to come to the garrison office barracks on September 15th."
There should be no delay in reporting the matter."
…
On the afternoon of September 15th, Wu Dacai got off the carriage outside Songyang Gate, rested his crutches and took a breath for a moment. Although Qianshan was not far away, Wu Dacai was now inconvenient in his legs and feet. There was no riding horse in Dunbao, so he could only go to Dunbao.
Tianning Village went to wait for the carriage from Fucheng to transport military supplies. The garrison in Tianning Village belonged to the First Division. His old unit was not
No one inside wanted to see him. Wu Dacai didn't want to ask for trouble, so he could only wait at the foot of the mountain until the carriage returned. It took a bumpy day and a half before he returned to the capital.
The Songyang Gate was still the same. No one recognized him among the people passing by. Wu Dacai put his robe on his shoulders and walked home on crutches. As the distance got closer and closer, he felt a little excited in his heart and felt his feet getting heavier.
Go faster.
Wu Tachai paused for a moment when he reached the door. He saw that the door was open, and when he walked closer, he heard people talking inside.
"Originally, we weren't talking about your cousin joining the garrison camp as a soldier. He is missing two fingers, so he won't be able to recruit soldiers. Da Cai can't speak well if he can serve as an official in the garrison camp. Look, this happened to Da Cai again.
.”
Wu Tachai heard that it was his uncle, who had fled to Fucheng this time to escape from the bandits. Just as Wu Tac-choi was about to turn around and leave the door, the people inside exited, and he happened to meet Wu Tac-choi face to face.
The uncle was barefoot, holding a duck and a bag of rice and beans in his hands. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Wu Dachai, and then said with some embarrassment, "Dacai is back, look at me.
…”
Wu Tachai saw the thing in his hand and said expressionlessly, "I can't help with my cousin's matter."
My uncle forced out a smile and said, "Then you should take good care of Da Cai. Take good care of him."
After he said that, he smiled awkwardly and left with the things in his hands. The woman quickly took Wu Tac Choi into the house, closed the door and cursed angrily, "Your relatives are all snobbery. I heard that you are no longer the president.
You must also take away what comes from you.”
Wu Da Tsai didn't answer, and just took a ladle of water from the water tank to drink. Then the woman asked, "Master, why are you back? Are you going to be promoted?"
"What official was promoted in the Dunbao? He went back to the barracks to report something." Wu Dacai drank water, put down his crutches and sat down on the chair, "I'm hungry, get something to eat so I can go to the barracks."
"Then what does the military room have to say?"
"Most of them say that each fort should train a hundred reserve soldiers. They are raised by rogue bandits and don't dare to say a word when they are buried. If they are trained so well, I don't think they can even pick out ten."
Just let him practice in the barracks. You don't care what he does, whether he is good or not, he will get his monthly salary." The woman said expectantly, "I heard that a fort is in charge of more than a thousand people, and they all listen to you.
This person who teaches you is not as good as a master.
, or I will move to Qianshan."
"Why live in Qianshan? I don't even have a roof. It's been raining and leaking for three days. Bandits come every now and then. Can you outrun or fight?"
"Is there anything I can take home? Why don't you bring some food back?"
Wu Tachai felt another surge of energy in his heart. He pushed himself up with his hands, took the crutches and left the house.
The woman shouted from behind, "We haven't eaten yet!"
Wu DaCai walked away in a hurry and walked back to Zongyang Gate via the original route. He didn't even look up when he passed by the arena.
All the way to the gate of the garrison office, there were a few more soldiers standing guard, but there were no other changes. Wu Dacai took out his name tag to check, and then went directly to the barracks. There were still many people working in the barracks, and Wu Dacai was honest.
Waiting, listening to their conversation, they mainly talked about the barracks military personnel and officer promotions. A new Qian headquarters has been built, Pang Pangren has been promoted to deputy general, and all the previous generals have been promoted.
Mr. Qian each brought thousands of troops and horses, and the banner chiefs of Mr. Bai below were also promoted one after another. Of course, it had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until there were fewer people that Wu Dacai approached a writer, not daring to speak louder, "The instructor at No. 2 Dunbao in Xiaqian Mountain has received the order to perform the task."
The calligrapher flipped through the book, and when he raised his head, his face was still a little surprised. He looked at Wu Dacai and said, "Wu Xundao is going to Chengfa Fang to report something." "Chengfa Fang?" Wu Dacai was confused, Chengfa Fang was.
In important departments, except for the Zanhua Room, which operates completely independently, the other rooms are more or less dependent on the chengfafang. However, he has never interacted with the chengfafang since Jiao Guozhao's incident.
I have dealt with the house.
Then he went to Chengfa's room again. After giving his name, a calligrapher came. He looked up and down at Wu Tac Choi and said, "Follow me."
Wu Tac Choi quickly followed and asked carefully, "My lord, I don't know where you are going."
The scholar didn't reply, "Don't ask any more questions."
Wu Dacai had no choice but to shut up and follow the scribe to the back office. The back office was originally the residence of the garrison officer, but it was changed into the Zan Painting Room and the garrison officer's direct room. Wu Dacai was a little excited. He didn't know if he was going to Zan.
Work in the painting studio.
After arriving at the back office, the calligrapher walked to the west wing and stopped in front of the last door. He politely said to the guard at the door, "Bring Wu Dacai, the instructor of Qianshan No. 2 Dunbao."
The officer next to him looked at Wu Tat Choi and said to the calligrapher, "Leave it to me."
The calligrapher responded and returned to the outer hall. Wu Tac Choi was still staying in front of the door. He knew whose direct room this was. The officer asked a few questions in a low voice at the door. After receiving the answer, he said to Wu Tac Choi, "Come in with me.
