Return to the Song Dynasty

"Xiao Man." Yao Xiong put his arm around Zhao Man's shoulders, and said with a good look like two brothers, "I haven't thought about doing something to make a living yet. It's not that the elder brother doesn't like you, but you What kind of work can you do with your body? Your brain is not bright, and you have to count the money for people who cheated you (Yao Xiong has already learned about Zhao Man's head injury from his brothers in Yue's family). If it weren't for your two brothers I have been taking care of you, and you have sold yourself. Your brothers have already enlisted in the army, how do you live by yourself? Or go to Huizhou with us. With us taking care of you, we can keep you safe. "

Although Zhao Man drank a little wine, he was not fooled by a silly bear.He rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Isn't going to Huizhou with you to be a soldier? With my body, I can't even swing a knife. Is it safe? Being cannon fodder is more or less the same."

Yao Xiong scratched his head: "What is cannon fodder?" Zhao Man: "...I am uneducated, which means that I am the first to die on the battlefield. This is not the point. Can I do this job? I might as well just squat in Luoyang." After Zhao Man finished speaking, he did not forget to show off his skinny little arms.

"Hey, who told you to go to the battlefield? The barbarians in Xixia would be happy to let you go to the battlefield. You just follow my brother and become a clerk or a doctor." Yao Xiong hurriedly continued to explain, Don't forget to give Vice General Yang a 'wink'. 'Lao Yang, is that what you said?Am I doing okay? '

After all, Zhao Man didn't make a decision on the spot, he still needs to think carefully.In fact, Zhao Man is also a person who is afraid of being alone. He finally met a group of good brothers and friends in this strange time and space. As a result, they all organized a group to go to the northwest to defend their home and country, leaving Zhao Man alone. It's not a good feeling to think about it.

If it is true that Yao Xiong said that he is only doing logistics work in the base camp, it would not be so scary to go to the Northwest to join the army. After all, these familiar people can give Zhao Man a sense of belonging and security.Zhao Man was thinking as he walked. "Hey! It's really annoying." Zhao Man kicked an unlucky pebble far away with his toes, looked up at the bustling streets of Luoyang, and immediately felt the emotion and confusion of "the sky is big and the earth is big, where is my home" .

"General, what, in fact, if Little Doctor Zhao doesn't go with us and stays in Luoyang, Doctor Zheng will take care of him no matter what. It's not as bad as you said, is it?" Yao Xiong's followers were puzzled I asked my boss.

"Huh?" Yao Xiong turned his head abruptly, his eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he immediately silenced himself. 'Dare to feel that you are fooling people, alas, Doctor Zhao is so pitiful. 'I'll slander you, but when will the boss fool you?It's pretty bad.However, it didn't take long before he knew how correct his general's decision was today. He succeeded in fooling Dr. Zhao into joining the army, and the most pitiful ones were those Xixia people.

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Lieutenant Yang, who sneezed twice, rubbed his nose. Who missed me again?

Three days later, Yao Xiong, the governor of Xiheqian, set off for the Huizhou garrison with a group of brothers. This was a new order issued by the imperial court to let Yao Xiong lead the troops to garrison the front line of Huizhou.Of course, Vice-General Yang, wounded Li Ping, Zhang Hui, newly recruited younger brothers Yue Cheng and Yue He, and a group of guards are indispensable in the team. , except for one person.

This person is dressed in a light blue robe, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. He has an extremely elegant posture when riding a horse. He has red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and slightly raised eyes.Walking among a group of strong men with big arms and round waists, it seems like stars are moving around the moon.Seeing that the little ladies were distracted, the crowd on the side of the road praised them.

"Yo, which family's official young master is this? There are so many people guarding him."

"No, it's even more prestigious than the prefect's son we saw last time."

"Yes, but this young master is really good-looking."

"Where does a young master have so many guards? Look, those are not ordinary guards, they are officers and soldiers."

"No, they are really officers and soldiers! Could it be that this son is a high-ranking official?"

"Such a young high-ranking official is really amazing."

"He looks so handsome, he is really God's own son."

"Don't talk nonsense, God's own son is an official, don't talk nonsense."

……

This God's own son is exactly Zhao Man who is determined to follow the army to the northwest.The people who eat melons are talking too loudly, and everyone on horseback can hear them clearly.Yao Xiong and Lieutenant General Yang did not forget to tease Zhao Man, "Hey, this handsome man is really taking advantage, we have become your bodyguards." Yeah." "No, but Xiaoman is really good at riding a horse, and his posture is also beautiful, he doesn't look like he just learned it."

"Hehe, thank you, I, I have learned to ride a horse before." Zhao Man absent-mindedly responded to his companion's teasing, and the hand holding the rein trembled naturally, letting the first mount turn with the large army.Those who don't know how to do it just think that Zhao Man's riding posture looks good, but those who know how to do it can see that it has been practiced.

Take a closer look, the handsome young man is riding on a horse, with a tall and straight figure.The ears, shoulders, hips, and heels are on the same vertical line, the head and spine are naturally upright, the elbows, wrists, and the horse's mouth are also on the same straight line, and there is no difference at all. Humans and horses are harmonious and unified. No wonder they look so nice.To be able to ride a horse so naturally and standardly is by no means a one-day achievement.

Zhao Man himself was also confused.Ever since he received the robes kindly provided by the magistrate in the morning, Zhao Man felt that his body seemed to have an automatic operation function.Facing the complicated ancient robes, I put my hands into automatic mode, from underwear, middle clothes, to outer robes, and even tied my hair. At the end, I put on the headband for myself, and the clothes are neat and elegant. ah.

When he went out and saw the horse allotted to him, Zhao Man, who thought he had never even touched the hair of the horse, put his robe around him, grabbed the saddle with both hands, and flew onto the horse with a chic and elegant movement (Zhao Ji: That's, our royal family's children) The training is all about manners, it doesn’t matter whether you ride well or not, the important thing is to ride beautifully! Zhao Kuangyin in the grave: Disrespectful descendants! I asked you to learn how to ride horses so that you can lead the army in battle! You are actually... mad at me to death Zhao Ji: Let me remind you, you are already dead. Zhao Kuangyin: ... unworthy descendants!), was stunned by a group of cavalry who thought they were professional horse riders, and Yue Cheng and Yue He who had been with Zhao Man for a long time.

In fact, Zhao Man himself was the most shocked. He had no idea how he got on the horse, and he was even more confused along the way.Not only was he not nervous at all about riding a horse, but he even felt very familiar, as if, as if he had done it thousands of times before, and it was as simple as eating a home-cooked meal.In the haze, the image of two children playing and learning how to ride a horse flashed in front of my eyes.

Zhao Man wanted to think about it deeply, but he couldn't think of it anymore.Zhao Man shook his head, dispelling his chaotic thoughts, turned his head, and faced the worried eyes of Shang Yue Cheng and Yue He.Zhao Man smiled gratefully at them, indicating that he was fine.

The brigade went west all the way, passing through Tongzhou and Qingzhou, and went straight to Huizhou.Along the way, a group of rough men have long been accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open air, but they did not expect that the seemingly thin-skinned and tender-looking Doctor Zhao could persist, which is really impressive.

Dr. Zhao, whose legs trembled a little due to long-time riding, still maintained an elegant posture, galloping forward gracefully. 'By the way, why do I have to ride in this position?Just to look good? Zhao Man himself was puzzled by this.

After more than 20 days of rushing, they finally arrived at Huizhou City at the foot of Roulang Mountain.

"This is Huizhou... city?" Zhao Man gritted his teeth and turned to look at Yao Xiong, "Is this a city too!!?"

"Eh... well, I, I didn't expect this Huizhou... city, it's so small..." Yao Xiong scratched his head in embarrassment, looked left and right, but didn't dare to look at Zhao Man.

The group of people who were walking along the way all laughed sullenly.Because they were in a hurry to go to Huizhou to take up their posts, everyone took a shortcut and did not pass through Jingzhao Mansion (that is, Chang'an City, which was called Jingzhao Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty).No one else responded, but Zhao Man was particularly yearning (Zhao Man: nonsense, that's the ancient Chang'an city, who doesn't want to see it), and asked Yao Xiong, Vice General Yang and others who had been to Jingzhao Mansion to ask Dong. Wenxi, I deeply regret that I cannot travel to Jingzhao Mansion at public expense this time.

After Yao Xiong introduced Hanxiong's version of Jingzhao Mansion to Zhao Man, he came up with a stroke of genius and said, "Don't be sorry, Xiaoman, Huizhou City is also pretty good, not to mention it's our own territory. When you get there, my brother will let you take a good look around, eat well, and have a good time." So, the young Zhao Man, who was not deeply involved in the world, rushed all the way to Huizhou City with great anticipation.However……

Looking at the three main roads in the city, and the few dilapidated shops on the side of the road, Zhao Man looked up at the sky and burst into tears: "Heaven is teasing me!"Thinking that I, Zhao Manyingming I, was fooled by the stupid bear, really, really,... There is nothing here, what kind of living environment is this! '

In late autumn, the cold wind blows the fallen leaves, swirling in front of the horse, and a sense of desolation suddenly fills my heart. "Have you ever been to Huizhou?" Zhao Man took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to kill, and asked Yao Xiong calmly, narrowing his narrow peach eyes slightly, and even raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth .

Seeing Yao Xiong and Vice General Yang's scalp tingle, "It's broken, it's broken, Xiaoman is angry, and the consequences will be serious!" ''Just tell you not to talk nonsense, who told you to talk nonsense with your mouth open. The two of them were still secretly exchanging glances, thinking about countermeasures.

Over there, some people who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal spoke first: "The general has never been to Huizhou. This is located on the border, and the opposite is Xixia. Even we are here for the first time."

'Um?Who is this?The mouth is so owed. Yao Xiong quickly turned his head and stared at the source of the sound, only to see that Li Ping, who had almost recovered from his injuries, was answering Zhao Man's question in a serious manner.

Li Ping and Zhang Hui escaped from death and were healed by Zhao Man. They called Zhao Mana a dog leg.Hearing that Zhao Man was going back to camp with everyone, he was so happy that he grinned to his ears.Along the way, they took care of every possible thing, squeezing Yue Cheng and Yue He so much that they had no chance to get close to Zhao Man.

At this moment, he is also resolutely playing a role, actively supporting Zhao Man, sparing no effort to attack his own general, resolutely telling the truth, and never hiding anything. 'I wipe! Yao Xiong waved his fist angrily, thinking about how to beat the damned Li Ping into a serious injury again, so as to save this prodigal trick from tearing me down.
