Syndicate Growth Manual

Jia Xun came in with hot water and filled the big wooden bucket in two trips.

"How's the matter?" Zhao Chen took off his coat, untied his sleeve armor and hung it on Mu Shi.

Jia Xun glanced at Mou Yuan, who was sitting next to the barrel and was dying to take off his clothes, and said in a low voice: "It's been cleaned, and there is no trace of anyone coming."

Zhao Chen let out a breath and motioned him to go out.Zhao Yuan was still wrestling with his trousers, his hands regained some strength now, but he was still trembling a little, and even sweat came out after taking off several layers of clothes.

"Father, what did Jiaxun tell you?" He raised his head and wiped his sweat.

"You've heard everything, why are you still asking me?" Zhao Chen knelt down, grabbed Zhao Yuan's ankles, pulled his pants down for him, and threw them aside.

Zhao Yuan lowered his head and said nothing, with long eyelashes drooping, obviously unconvinced but I don't care about you.

A certain father almost laughed angrily, and asked him, "Do you know where you ambushed those dog soldiers today?"

Zhao Yuan said without thinking: "Beiyuan meadow, there is at least a hundred and eighty miles away from Quan Rong's camp."

"Then do you know that the group of people you killed didn't come from the big camp. They had already set up camp a dozen miles away from Caodianzi five or six days ago?" Zhao Chen stood up and looked down at him, with a gleam in his eyes Ruthlessly, "Why are they so bold to light a fire in broad daylight? Are there any accomplices around? If someone sees smoke from a distance and hangs behind you and catches you off guard, what will you do?"

"You can get six for ten, can you get six for twenty, thirty? One hundred?"

Zhao Yuan was speechless, and resisted in vain: "I, I have followed them for a few days, and I haven't seen them go back to any camp..."

"What if they're just waiting for you to take the bait?"

He was completely speechless and bit his lip hard.Although he tried his best to control himself, the corners of his eyes still turned red.

Zhao Chen didn't seem to see his son's grievances at all, and his tone became more harsh and even cruel: "If you are caught, you will also consider yourself unlucky for your father, but what if your subordinates, Cui Ming, and the others die? Torture After asking that you are my son, other people are of no use to the barbarians, they can only die! Can you be responsible?!"

Zhao Yuan stared hard at the felt lichen.

"Speak!" Zhao Chen snapped.

"I, I was wrong! My mistake was that I was arrogant and self-righteous!" Zhao Yuan roared, his eyes were completely moist, "I shouldn't rely on my military achievements to underestimate the enemy! I shouldn't be irresponsible and let my comrades fight with you!" Take the risk by yourself! I—" He cried, raised his arm and wiped it again and again, his childish voice became hoarse, "I should abide by the military regulations and discuss everything with Father."

For a moment, only the hoarse crying of the young man was heard in the tent. It was not pleasant, but it made one's heart soften.

Zhao Chen felt as if he had been divided into two people. One could not stop feeling distressed looking at his son's red eyes and nose from crying, and desperately wanted to keep the other party's gentle persuasion. The other was just like now, condescendingly examining ——He looked at the young man sitting on the ground, wearing only obscene pants, showing a thin and fair body, with thin arms held in one hand and one foot, covered only with a thin layer of muscle, and his jet-black hair was randomly tied into a bun and scattered Come down, wet with sweat and stick to cheeks and neck.

And that face—it was infinitely close to the woman in his impression, maybe it was different, after all, it was a mature woman, but the one in front of her was a young man, but those phoenix eyes with winding lines and thick eyelashes, The slender black eyebrows, the straight and delicate bridge of the nose, and the red lips are completely different from him.

Occasionally, Zhao Chen would be in a daze, because his son was becoming more and more like Zhuang Ji, which always made him feel like his precious treasure was being snatched away.

He only lost his mind for a few breaths before being brought back to his senses by his son's louder cries... It was still cold... Anu would catch a cold outside like this...

"Don't make Father worry anymore," he sighed heavily, and leaned over to hug Zhao Yuan, "You haven't grown up yet, Anu."

Zhao Yuan hugged Zhao Chen's neck with all his strength, crossed his legs around his father's waist, and lay tightly on his father like a koala.He has grown up in this posture since he was a child, the only difference is that as the length of his legs increases, he does it more smoothly.

He habitually sniffed Zhao Chen's neck, maybe it was the rosin of lavender, or the clean smell of bath beans, occasionally mixed with a little sweat... It made him feel safe, like The belt of the placket that he twists every day when he sleeps, the familiar breath that he can tell from when he was a baby, and his father's shoulders and chest are strong and broad, no matter how tall or heavy he is, his father can hold him steady Hug up.

Before I knew it, the tears were collected, and the grievances were gone.

"You're so old, and you're still acting like a baby with my father!" Zhao Chen's voice was low and steady, but the smile in his eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow, he walked to the wooden barrel with his son's little butt in his big palm, and patted it.Alas, there is still some meat on the buttocks.

The father and son soaked in the hot water, and the atmosphere became calm again.Father Zhao rubbed Zhao Yuan's back like he did when he was a child. He looked at his son's thin back, and suddenly found a thin bloodstain on the back of his neck, so he rubbed it with his fingers.

"Hiss—" Zhao Yuan shrank his neck and shouted, "It hurts, dad, don't touch it!"

Zhao Chen frowned: "Why did someone hurt this place?" The strength of his hand became gentle involuntarily, and he carefully washed away the blood scab around the wound.

Zhao Yuan turned his back to his father, still showing a shy smile with a guilty conscience on his face: "That's right, I was slashed by the blade of Quan Rong's saber, I could see it clearly, when I avoided it, I was checked by Jia Yi, and I didn't bend down ..." He got a little angry when he said this, and turned around to complain, "Father, I told you a long time ago that a big breastplate like ours is not good! The flexibility is not up to standard, I want to bow my back a little You can't even bend down, if you move slower, I will be beheaded!"

"Shut up!" Zhao Chen couldn't hear such words the most, and scolded, "What nonsense!"

Zhao Yuan was startled, looked at him and muttered: "...Just talk about it, at least you can't peel off the skin—" Seeing that his father's face was pitch black, and the corners of his mouth were stretched like a line, he quickly closed his mouth , dare not say more.

Zhao Chen calmed down his anger, and said lightly: "You are a father, don't you know? But if you want to change the armor, two 10,000+ people in the whole army, is it a small amount? From the beginning of autumn last year to this spring, there will be several For ten battles, the military salary is already tight, and we can't bear to toss about it any longer."

"I didn't say to replace it," Zhao Yuan sat up straight in the water, and snapped his fingers at Zhao Chen with a countenance, "Look, father, let's not make new ones, just replace the old breastplate with a new one." Forging only costs some labor and money. When the grass grows and the dogs return, we will replace them one by one, which will not delay the frontier defense, and can slowly replace the old breastplate."

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded: "This method is feasible, and we will discuss it with Wei Hong and others before deciding on it."

If you say this, you will be able to pass it with seven or eight points.Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and exposed his little back: "Father, continue to wipe it for me, it's just there, it's still a little itchy there..." He even started pointing fingers!

Zhao Chen shook his head, picked up a towel and scrubbed him.

He felt a little complicated for a while.

As a father, he not only failed to make Anu live well, but instead brought him to this pass. Every year, he is in severe cold for four or five months. During the rainy season, it can rain for ten consecutive days. In the dry season, it may be a few days. He can't take a bath once, let alone once the dog army comes to commit crimes, he will lead troops to fight, and his life and death are unknown.In the two years before Anu entered the barracks, whenever the battles were frequent, he would wait for him to go back on the stone steps in front of the general's mansion.

Several times he was injured and carried back. Jia Xun took Anu to the barracks. When he woke up, he saw Anu's frightened and helpless face.

As a father, he didn't do well, but Anu grew up in Xiguan like a poplar tree full of vitality.A few years ago he never thought that Anu would enter the military camp, but his son is adapting well now, even better in the military camp.

"Don't be so reckless next time," he said emphatically, "You just want to think about Li Chun, if something happens to you, she will immediately wipe her neck and cry with you!"

Zhao Yuan ouched: "Don't scare me! Just imagining it scares me!" He rolled his eyeballs, then hurriedly turned around and lay down on a certain father's raised knee, his eyes She looked at him radiantly and said, "Father, I've wanted to discuss it with you for a long time. Lichun is not young. An ordinary girl at her age has two or three children. We can't delay her."

Zhao Chen didn't feel that he was messing around, but thought for a while: "Lichun and Lixia are not young anymore. In the past few years, the barracks have been rectified and there have been many wars. I don't care about it. I really can't delay..." He thought for a while, and said, "If When they get married, there will be no one in the house, and my soldiers will not be able to serve people."

Zhao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand nonchalantly: "There are only us father and son in the mansion. It would be nice if we could stay for three to five days in a month, and we need someone to take care of us? Besides, isn't there Zhengyang Huaixi? It's still okay to serve tea and water."

A certain father stopped talking.He glanced at his son's clean place, not even a hair had grown yet, he was worried too early... Just looking at the situation, they will have to stay in Xiguan for at least three or two years, two years after that, My son's age is also up, and I don't know what to do now, where can I find the right person when the time comes?

After thinking about it like this, I still have to ask someone to buy a few little girls to come in, and this time I will find the one with better looks.Zhao Chen's face darkened when he recalled his son's aesthetics.It seems that people can't buy from Xiguan yet, so this matter has to be handed over to Lu Hui.

Zhao Yuan didn't know what his father was thinking, and found that where his father glanced, the hair exploded!

"Father! What kind of eyes are you looking at!" He was furious as he protected his key parts, "I'm still young, and I'll grow up in a few years! Keep it bigger than yours!!" He decided to do it every now and then from tomorrow. When a deer comes, you can buy it!It's not that Lu Nasha can make up for it, he just drinks a few big bowls and strives to break out of Asia!
