After thinking about it a little, Li Kuo understood the old man's state of mind at this moment.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty survivors who lived in Tubo since childhood, these old men in the military craftsman have experienced too many things. They have witnessed the invincibility of the Anxi Tang army and swept the Hu in the rivers, and also felt that the great cannibals rode their horses and rushed wildly
, the shock of blood-swepting Anxi old place.
These things will not be easily erased. Even after decades of precipitation, the wound will always exist. As long as it is touched slightly, the wound will suddenly become painful and painful to the heart!
For them, they really don't want to face the neat military camps again. The memories it brings are by no means beautiful and fragrant, but heavy and bloody. The scimitars that are intimidating with the cold light come.
When you fall into a dream, it will appear in the minds of these old craftsmen. The big cannibal can only wave these killing weapons to cut off the round heads and splash out a series of blood columns like fountains.
In their memory, whenever they make mistakes, the big cannibal horse whip would swing down without hesitation and throw it hard on their cheeks. The terrifying whip marks like red beanworms record their shame.
It reminds them of their slave status at all times. How miserable they should be, but this pain is nowhere to be told! They all say that children without mothers are the most pitiful, but they want to say that children abandoned by their mothers are the most pitiful!
At that time, where was the Tang Dynasty they relied on, where was the invincible Anxi Tang army? Where was the wise and powerful Emperor?
Of course, they are just military craftsmen. They have a humble status, but they are not humble!
The old man rubbed his hands repeatedly and lowered his head awkwardly. This was a very contradictory choice, and he really didn't know how to face it.
Li Kuo was the one who saved his life. In theory, they should have joined the Anxi army and were dispatched by Li Kuo to repay the young man's life-saving grace. But they did not dare to face the darkness deep in their hearts.
Some feelings are hard to return to the world, and this is what we mean. The things we lose are hard to make up for, let alone such a bitter relationship. I am afraid that even a person with flesh and blood will be difficult to face again!
"Don't worry about military registration." Li Kuo was obviously embarrassed and waved his hand and said, "I can order someone to make up for your military registration at any time. You are the old men of the Anxi Military Craftsman, and these are not problems at all.
The Shule Army welcomes you at any time, but it doesn’t matter if you insist on not wanting to come back. I will allocate a special amount for your elderly care.”
"General!" The old man knelt down on the ground and kept kowting, "General, don't say anything more. If the general continues, I will be ashamed of myself."
He has gone through so many roads and things in his half life, but he has never seen such a friendly officer. The other party treats him like this, but he cannot devote himself to serving him...
"You are really a mother-in-law. Brother Kuoer has praised you so much, so why don't you just follow me? In this world, how can you find such a good master!" Zhang Yanji was a little embarrassed and came to knock on it.
The side drum was set.
Although the situation of these craftsmen is miserable and worthy of pity, the so-called pitiful people must have something hateful. They don’t even have the courage to face life again, so why are they talking about fighting against the cannibals? According to him, most of the Tang soldiers at that time also had it.
With such conservative thinking, how could he lose the thousands of miles of territory conquered by Emperor Gaozong one after another?
"Yanji!" Li Kuo interrupted his friend's complaint sternly: "They are our elders, don't be big or small!" Li Kuo sighed slightly: "No matter what decision they make in the end, we will all
Don't interfere!"
He still doesn't understand some things. Instead of forcibly leaving these military craftsmen, it is better to do what they want to do according to their nature. Only when they are truly willing to stay in the Shule army will it be beneficial to this army, otherwise
Instead, it is an unstable factor.
"But! But we clearly rescued them, how could they not repay their kindness!" Zhang Yanji really didn't know why Brother Kuoer spoke for these craftsmen like this. The grace of water should be repaid with a spring, but they actually thought about it.
Leaving.
"This matter is decided so I don't want to hear any opposition anymore." Li Kuo waved his hand and stopped Zhang Yanji's accusation. The boy walked towards the pool not far away without looking back, throwing all the noise and discussions away.
All behind the head.
Some things need to be done slowly. If you are too hasty, it will only help you grow and will be of no use to both sides.

......
As June begins, the weather becomes hotter and hotter.
During this period, even in Chang'an, Jingzhao, pedestrians on the streets changed into plain white vests and enjoyed the warmth of summer. In Anxi Shule Town, far away from the pass, the sun hanging in the sky is even more vicious.
The water of washing vegetables poured on the street was instantly steamed into misty water vapor and drifted with the wind.
During the day, as long as it is not a necessary matter, few people are willing to go out. Even the always diligent vendors stay in their houses, drinking tea while counting accounts.
Under the scorching sun, walking on the street is nothing more than a brawl selling coolies and a cart puller. These two kinds of work are the most profitable in the hot summer. Every June, some camel caravans coming from far away.
A large number of people will pour into Shule City, and the busiest ones at this time are the bars and coachmen.
The bars unloaded the goods to the carriage shed with white lines. At this time, the coachman and the bars threw the huge buns and sacks on the carriage. After the goods were tied up,
The coachman will transport the goods to the caravan's designated warehouse. This trip can earn five cents, while the coachman can earn seven cents. If you have an experienced combination, you can travel more than ten round trips a day.
This is amazing. Their income per day can bring a few feet of the lowest flower cloth to their mother, so that the mother can enjoy it for two days.
If they still have extra money, they can also go to the street food stall to order a bowl of sour plum soup. This thing is the most thirst-quenching, which can relieve the heart and the muscles and bones.
With such a good scene, everyone in Shule City was filled with joy. They saw hope. Although it was ethereal, it would always exist as long as they worked hard.
......
......
But Miss Ni Xinni obviously did not have such a good mood.
Since Li Kuo led the Tang army to Hezhong on a mission, Ni Xin's mind has been turbulent. For some reason, after the young man left, she did not return to Longyou but chose to stay in
Shule.
Gradually she discovered that she would feel happiness where there was a teenager. The closer she was to the teenager, the stronger this kind of happiness would be.
So she chased from Shangqi to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Yumen Pass, and from Yumen Pass to Anxi Shule Town.
Sometimes even she herself would be confused, is it worth it for her to do so?
No matter how outstanding Li Kuo is, he is still a family member. Will he marry someone with a family member? In that case, what will he become? Will he be a concubine?
No, she would never be his concubine, she must marry a man who only loves him!
Whenever I think about this, Ni Xin feels very upset. What's wrong with me? There are so many good men in the world, why do I have to do it?
He is just a lucky breakup, why did he fall in love with him?
"Ah!" Ni Xin quickly withdrew her fingers to her mouth and exclaimed in surprise. She had been distracting and had no time to care about the bang'er. The needle actually pierced her fingers and put her jade fingers into her mouth.
After sucking for a moment, Ni Xin seemed to understand something.
The taste of this blood tastes a little astringent at first, but it tastes a little sour, and it will eventually turn into a hint of sweetness...
Maybe this is love. Sometimes it is bitter, sometimes it is sour, and only by perseverance can one feel the sweetness. Those who persevere to the end may not necessarily find true love, but if they have not persisted, they will definitely not seek it in the end.
True love! In this way, it will be beneficial to me to get distracted and pierce my fingers.
Having said that, this best embroidery picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water is considered useless. Looking at a small hole in the embroidery cloth, Ni Xin frowned.
She could not do embroidery at first, so she learned from the old mother in Shule City for half a month before she figured out some tricks. After several practices, she had already ruined several appearances. This embroidery picture was almost formed, and naturally there was no red line.
Fuyu, if he abandoned his nearly half a month of hard work because of such a small flaw, Ni Xin would be really unwilling to accept it.
What should I do?
She raised her eyes and looked around for a week and saw a ball of thin plain cotton thread on the near desk. A trace of inspiration suddenly flashed through Ni Xin's mind. She could embroider a peony flower with plain thread!
Thinking of this, Ni Xin put the cotton thread through the needle and embroidered it back and forth.
Thorns, piercings, pickings, and focusing on the mind. This peony flower is just to give it to him...
This little enemy, even if I owe him in my previous life!
After a cup of tea, Ni Xin embroidered a beautiful peony. It was rich and peaceful, grand and prosperous, and was full of flowers. At this moment, even she herself was shocked.
But after repeated inspections, she felt that the peony flower was a little strange.
Maybe, maybe...this is a matter of style!
If you look at it alone, there will be no problem with the many flowers. But the color of this flower is too plain and white, which is inconsistent with the overall picture of the mandarin duck playing in the water. However, the silk threads of other colors have been used up. If so
I have to buy it at the shop in the city, but after the troubles, the idea of embroidery will be interrupted, which is really inappropriate.
Right! Right!
She can dye the peonies red with her own blood!
What else in the world can express emotions more than blood?
After Ni Xinsi settled down, she took a light bite on her finger and applied a red color to the plain white peony.
The peonies are red and beautiful, and the country is fragrant!
