Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Xu Huaiyi was like a fish in water in the team. He fully demonstrated the attributes of a community bull and was able to get along with everyone. He was also hardworking and did not rely on just talking. When something happened, he would roll up his sleeves and step forward to help without hesitation. He had no airs and his approachable style made him very popular among everyone.

He did not engage in individualism, but instead pulled his friends to actively participate, familiarizing themselves with life in the barracks as quickly as possible and preparing for better cooperation in future battles.

Of course, this is also an opportunity to quietly make friends with the soldiers, and secretly cultivate connections and win favor in the barracks. Winning people's hearts does not only require currying favor with the generals; the power of the grassroots soldiers should not be underestimated.

Sun Yu saw everything he did and was happy to see it happen. He was once again glad that he was decisive enough and took the initiative to accept this apprentice despite others' doubts. Who could have thought that he would bring him surprises time and time again? Now, who wouldn't be jealous of his unique vision?

Ma Zicheng, who led the team with him, was one of them. He did not hide his envy and said sourly in private, "If I have a disciple like this, I won't have to worry about anything..."

Sun Yu was not modest and nodded, "That's true. With Huaiyi here, I don't have to worry about anything. He arranges everything for me, including food, drink, and rest. He doesn't even need me to give any instructions on tasks. Being his master is really useless."

At the end, his tone was full of regret and smugness.

Ma Zicheng was so angry when he heard this that he waved his fist at him, "Do you believe that if you spread this, you will be put in a sack?"

Sun Yu laughed, "That's why I only show off in front of you. I should be humble to outsiders. I'm not afraid of being put in a sack, but I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Huaiyi. He is already jealous enough, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Hearing this, Ma Zicheng looked at the figure in the distance who was still chatting and laughing with ordinary soldiers, and said with emotion, "This kid is so smart. The most rare thing is that he doesn't make people feel slick and annoying. He is just the right amount of smart."

Being able to strike the right balance in this is a skill.

Sun Yu smiled and said, "I didn't teach him this skill. It's probably because he is gifted. No matter where he is, he can get along well with others. In the village, he is protected and trusted by the villagers. In the academy, he is admired and followed by the students. In business, he can make many friends. Now that he has joined the army, I am really looking forward to his next performance."

Will he be able to continue to be loved and followed as before? If he can do this, he will be able to thrive on the battlefield and will be able to achieve great things in the near future.

Ma Zicheng said with a complicated expression, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will not let you down. The disciple is better than the master, and the waves behind push the waves ahead. You can't refuse to admit your age..."

He paused and changed the subject, "What are your plans for Huaiyi's future?"

Sun Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I don't want to set any rules for him. Let's see where he wants to develop."

Hearing this, Ma Zicheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You don't look like you can make a decision. Doesn't your family have any ideas?"

Sun Yu sighed, "It's useless to have ideas. Huaiyi is a man of great ideas. It's not worth it to force him and hurt our relationship. Besides, my old man admires his vision and pattern. How can I not support his decision?"

"So you listened to him?"

"Well, as long as it doesn't conflict with the Sun family's position, let him do whatever he wants."

Ma Zicheng said sincerely, "I know you love your disciple, but I didn't expect that Elder Sun would be so indulgent to him. Is this the only way for a close son and grandson?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sun Yu snorted in frustration, "Don't worry about you laughing at me, my own children and grandchildren are not as popular as Huaiyi in front of the old man. Now when there is something going on at home, the old man likes to listen to Huaiyi's opinions. He nods to whatever Huaiyi says. If it were me, I would be scolded eight out of ten times."

Ma Zicheng laughed with a gloating look, and then asked mysteriously, "Huai Yi is now a wealthy man, do you have any thoughts of taking a concubine?"

Sun Yu glanced at him and said, "Don't think about it. He won't take a concubine."

"Are you sure? It's a good thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it won't affect his career..."

"That's not what he would do. He and his wife love each other deeply, and he would never bring someone back to cause trouble for his wife."

"You don't even want a concubine who has a good family background, is beautiful and decent?"

"No, he has already said that he will only have one wife in his life. Not only will he not take concubines, he will not even visit brothels or other brothels."

"Keep your chastity like a jade!"

"He said it was about being loyal to his wife."

As authentic ancient men, they are actually unable to understand the concept of keeping one's chastity, but using another word, loyalty, can make people admire and be excited. The trustworthiness of a man who is loyal to his wife is undoubtedly raised a lot.

Ma Zicheng sighed for a moment and changed the angle of the marriage, "I heard that he has a daughter who is very smart..."

Sun Yu interrupted, "Ali, don't even think about it. To be honest, even I have thought about it. That little girl has inherited Huaiyi's true teachings. She is smart and cute. She is very likable. Huaiyi treats her like a treasure and holds her in his heart. How could he bear to let her marry off?"

Ma Zicheng was stunned, "So you want to marry into the family?"

Sun Yu nodded.

Ma Zicheng sighed regretfully, "What a pity, you are lucky to have struck first."

Sun Yu smiled but said nothing.

In addition to the two of them, others also discussed Xu Huaiyi privately, mainly because he was too different. Marching is a hard job, and who wouldn't look tired and numb? Especially with an uncertain future, not knowing how likely it is to survive on the battlefield, it is even more difficult to have a good mood, but Xu Huaiyi is full of energy and looks full of hope for the future. His enthusiasm and optimism are very contagious, and everyone is willing to look at his bright eyes.

The generals in charge thought that he could boost the morale of the troops and naturally liked him.

But the princes who accompanied them had countless speculations and confusions, and even conspiracy theories.

The Prince of Chu and the Prince of Dingyuan were particularly important. They spent a lot of time together to discuss the matter, but neither of them could figure out what Xu Huaiyi's purpose was.

In their view, lowering one's status to get involved with those powerless soldiers is completely degenerate and meaningless. It is even more ridiculous to take the initiative to help them. What's the point of currying favor with them? Those low-level soldiers can't decide anything. They can only follow orders. Power is concentrated in the hands of generals and leaders. It is helpful to curry favor with these people.

"How did Sun Yu teach the church?" Li Yunzhao frowned, wondering, "Are those rumors just lies? In fact, the Sun family never took a fancy to him?"

Otherwise, why didn't they even tell him the most basic means of winning people's hearts? They just did these useless and unpresentable things, which made people laugh at them.

The Prince of Chu smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate him. What he did may not be without deep meaning. He is quite scheming and has some tricks. Perhaps he did this to confuse us. He has other intentions behind it."

Li Yunzhao was puzzled, "What does he want?"

The Prince of Chu shook his head, "I don't know either. It's a pity that you and Li Yunting are not on good terms, otherwise you could just ask him intuitively."

The relationship clearly exists, but it is not used.

Li Yunzhao's face changed and he quickly apologized.

The Prince of Chu smiled and passed it over.

The two men were not in the same camp, but the King of Chu had always behaved indifferently, so the princes had no fear or guard against him. On the contrary, because he was of a high generation and was the head of the royal family, he had certain persuasive power. Therefore, several adult princes secretly showed goodwill to him, especially the Third Prince's faction, who did a lot to win him over in private.

Along the way, Li Yunzhao gave enough face to the Prince of Chu and was respectful and polite, just to win more favor and support for the Third Prince.

The effect is there, and the two of them can now discuss in-depth topics.

For example, let’s talk about Xu Huaiyi.

"I will have people keep a close eye on his every move. If he does anything wrong, he will be arrested and held accountable." Li Yunzhao took the initiative to take charge of this matter.

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Chu pretended to hesitate and said, "This man is quite capable. Why not bring him under your command? We can also add a powerful general."

Li Yunzhao said with some contempt, "Your Highness, you don't know that this man is very cunning and slippery, and it is extremely difficult to subdue him. Moreover, although he seems to help no one, he has actually done a lot for the Second Prince in private. Su Zhe is in the open, and he is in the dark. Perhaps he has been on their side for a long time..."

The Prince of Chu suddenly realized, "Oh, that's a pity!"

Li Yunzhao wiped his neck and said, "So, do you want it or not?"

The Prince of Chu smiled faintly, thinking, I have found a scapegoat, "You can act according to the situation."

Xu Huaiyi didn't know that on the first day of the trip, the Prince of Chu wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He was actually secretly on guard against those princes. The Prince of Xin and Qiao Huaijin would probably not attack him, but the other two were full of hostility.

He had offended Li Yunzhao before. When they were in the capital, Li Yunzhao might not dare to take action, but now that he was on the road, he would have more opportunities, and on the battlefield he would be exposed to many loopholes.

There is also the Prince of Chu. There has been no direct conflict between the two of them, but he has fallen out with the Meng family and has become enemies with them. The Meng family is the followers of the Prince of Chu's Palace, so it is not surprising that the Prince of Chu would help the Meng family to deal with him in order to win over the hearts of the people.

What Xu Huaiyi found strange was that these two groups of people got mixed up and were so eager to cause trouble that they didn't even plan to let him go to the south. Were they afraid that he would make a contribution?

When he realized that someone was watching him and waiting for an opportunity to act, he had already figured out most of the truth in his mind. He did not hide anything and reported it to Sun Yu. If the master has something to do, the disciple should do the work; if the disciple is in trouble, the master should also help. In this way, the relationship between master and disciple can become more and more harmonious.

As expected, Sun Yu agreed readily and told him not to panic, as he would deal with those people with bad intentions.

Xu Huaiyi thanked him and felt happy and at ease.

After walking for a day, they finally arrived at the post station to rest before dark. Ordinary soldiers stopped outside and slept in their clothes, while those with official ranks had comfortable houses to live in. After settling down, Xu Huaiyi found an opportunity to get into the RV and finally met his wife.

He only reported good news and not bad news. He talked about the interesting things that happened on the march. He was very excited and happy when he spoke, which showed that he really enjoyed such days.

Gu Huanxi listened patiently, served him some pork rib soup, and watched him devour it.

After chatting for a while, Gu Huanxi asked, "Do you want to see your daughter?"

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How did you meet? In the car? Didn't you want to hide it from her? Are you going to reveal the secret? Is there any risk?"

Gu Huanxi had no choice but to tell her daughter how difficult it was to coax her. "Who would have thought that she would be so stubborn? No matter what I said, it was useless. She cried so hard that her eyelids were swollen. She was just worried about you and was afraid that you would get hurt and bleed. If I hadn't coaxed her that you had the ability to save your life, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to eat..."

She was jealous of the deep love between father and daughter.

Xu Huaiyi had been so distressed that he was tearing his eyes out. He said without any resistance, "Tell my daughter that we won't hide it anymore. We need to be together as a family. If we hide it from her, I'm afraid it will hurt her heart when she grows up. The sooner we tell her, the sooner she will be worried. She won't have to worry about me when I go to war, and suffer from it..."

Gu Huanxi said "hmm" and thought about how to explain it to his daughter, "Should I just say it directly or make up a story?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Let's just tell the truth. Our daughter is very smart and will definitely understand. Besides, this RV is where she was born. She may have a close connection with the RV. We don't have to worry about her exposing herself. We collected her tears and bath water, but she didn't find it strange, did she? It shows that some awareness is innate and even explanation is superfluous."

After hearing these words, Gu Huanxi's worries dissipated a lot. After he left, she told her daughter about the existence of the RV. Sure enough, her daughter was not surprised at all.

She moved in and out skillfully, as if she was returning to another home of hers.

Gu Huanxi, however, was a little bit unable to accept it when he saw this. "A Li, aren't you surprised to see these things?"

Ever since Ah Li could speak, they never brought Ah Li into the RV while he was awake. She thought that Ah Li should be unfamiliar with all these.

However, Ah Li said calmly, "It's not strange, I've seen it before."

"Huh? When have you seen me?"

Ah Li tilted his head and thought for a while, "I can't remember, maybe it was in a dream? Anyway, I have seen it."

Gu Huanxi stopped dwelling on this and just emphasized, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"Sir, Master, are none of the brothers capable?"

"Yes, none of them."

"why?"

"This is our family's secret. If we tell it out, we will be in danger."

"Brother Xiaoyu can't do it either?"

"Well, no."

Ah Li was embarrassed for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I remember, I won't tell anyone, only the three of us know."

Gu Huanxi smiled and kissed her, "Dear, my Ah Li is awesome!"

Ah Li blushed in embarrassment, "Daddy's ability to save his life, is this car the only thing that can save his life?"

"Yes, if there is danger, your father will hide in here, and those bad guys can't get in."

"Wow, that's really cool!"

"From now on, if you want to see daddy, you can meet him here!"

"Ah, that's great. No wonder Mom didn't cry when Dad left."

"..."

In the early morning of the next day, the father and daughter met each other. They were as affectionate as if they hadn't seen each other for years. Although they didn't say much, a few quick chats were enough to make Ah Li happy for the whole day.

Gu Huanxi was worried that her mood changing so quickly would arouse suspicion. However, Jiang Yong, Doctor Jiao, and the older children were all very happy to see this happen. They all felt sorry for Ah Li and couldn't bear to see her feel bad. Seeing that she no longer asked for her daddy, they just thought she was just a forgetful child or was sensible.
