Chapter 168
"General Yan will take him with him. This bandit suppression is a good training opportunity."

"Chen Zhongyan hasn't told me about it yet. When did you tell me?" Chen Fan was a little unhappy.

"I haven't told him yet, but as long as I tell him about the suppression of bandits, he will definitely want to go. I'll let you know first." Zhang Ci said.

Chen Fan was a little confused: "So sure?"

Zhang Ci looked at her deeply: "You always let Chen Yue and Chen Zhongyan take the lead, but you have always had feelings."

Silence, both of them were silent.

After a while, Chen Fan said: "I came here on May [-], and picked up a knife on May [-]. Fortunately, all the people I saved were righteous, so I have a household registration, a real estate store. I moved into a new house in the beginning of autumn. , Shuangjiang is about to confront a group of food grabbers. In just over four months, I have met the county magistrate, met the governor, and entertained the Zhongshu Ling and the Hussar General. Now, you tell me again, there will be more Is there such a big event as suppressing bandits?"

She took a breath: "It was the most stable two months when I first moved. It was normal and happy to accompany my younger brothers and sisters to study, paint, play the piano and play the flute."

Zhang Ci hugged her tightly: "Those two months were also very hard, exhausting energy and physical strength all day long."

Chen Fan smiled: "They are very sensible. But you were basically not at home at that time. If you were at home, that time would be perfect."

Zhang Ci was startled, smiled, and rubbed his chin on her shoulder.

"If Chen Zhongyan went to suppress the bandits, would he take Chen Zhongzhu with him?" Chen Fan asked.

"You thought of all this? This seems like something Chen Zhongyan would do." Zhang Ci chuckled.

"He has only studied books for less than three months, and has learned martial arts for less than three months, so he is just holding a stick and gesticulating. Bandit?" Chen Fan was depressed.

"Distressed?" Zhang Ci patted her on the back.

"Ah."

"Have you ever felt sorry for me?" Zhang Ci asked lightly, but Chen Fan felt his body tense up a little.She didn't answer, feeling his shoulders tightened even more, and then loosened again after a while, so she smiled lightly and hugged him tightly.

"Have you ever cared about me?" She asked the same question.Zhang Ci didn't answer, just laughed.

She broke free from her embrace lightly, kissed him lightly on the face, and said, "Rest early, we will go to Mustang Mountain tomorrow."

Zhang Ci grabbed her, but let go of her hand again, saying, "I'll see you off."

Looking at the closed door, Zhang Ci stood for a while before walking back.

Breakfast is millet pumpkin porridge, with bright red dates dotted in it.Yan Shoulu held the bowl and asked Zhang Ci: "What is the effect of this porridge today?"

"Nourishing the stomach." Zhang Ci's answer was simple.

"That's it?" Yan Shoulu was not satisfied with his answer.

"Replenishing the vital energy, nourishing the stomach and invigorating the spleen, nourishing the blood and strengthening the spirit."

"It seems to be the same thing, nourishing the stomach and liver, nourishing qi and kidney, calming the mind and tranquilizing the mind." Yan Shoulu is quite good at drawing inferences from facts.

The officials nodded again and again, and they were very supportive.

Yan Shoulu's appetite was the biggest. After finishing a bowl of porridge, he also ate three meat buns and two boiled eggs.Other officials eat a meat bun.

After breakfast and tidying up, the group set off for Mustang Mountain.Chen Fan watched all the officials mount their horses one after another, and was very surprised: Are all the officials of the Daxiang Dynasty so shabby?
What about them?They all ride horses too?There are also children aged six or seven.

Liu Da carried Liu Chenfeng onto the horse, Liu Twelve took Liu Dingkang, Chu Sheng took Chen Ya, Qing Ji took Chen Zhongliang, and the younger ones were all arranged properly.

Don't worry about the older ones, they have all learned how to ride a horse.There was only one carriage with me, which contained some items.Looking at the mighty horse team, Chen Fan remembered the scene at Xiao's racecourse that day.

That is, during that gallop, her riding skills improved by leaps and bounds.

The horse walked slowly, and the children were very excited.Chen Fan looked at Liu Huaijin, his expression was also very excited.

Wu Zhongsu also suggested: "How about the children singing a song? When you come out to play, it's more lively if you talk and sing."

The little dolls pursed their lips, a little shy.Liu Twelve sang: "Qi-yue-no clothes? I'm in the same robe with Zi. The king-Yu Xingshi, repaired-I-spear. Same with-Zi- --hatred--!"

Chen Fan sat upright all of a sudden, isn't this the song he sang at the racecourse that day.The children were very excited. As soon as Liu Jiannan finished singing, they screamed "Wow - wow -" and then sang together.The immature child's voice sounds special.

"This song has already spread to the barracks, and the capital is also singing it." Wu Zhongsu said.

so popular?A little excited.Chen Fan swayed on the horse's back.

The children were a little crazy, swept away the shyness just now, and sang one after another, which caused all the workers on the roadside to look at them in surprise.

The officials watched the children sing with all smiles on their faces.Chen Fan lowered his head and smiled. These people usually go to work and leave work seriously, and their family members treat them respectfully and well-behaved. It's rare to see such a scene, right?
After another song ended, Chen Yue raised the kettle and shook it. The children understood, and all picked up the kettle to drink water, not forgetting to sip gracefully.

After drinking water, the madness stopped, and the team became quiet all of a sudden.Officials seem not used to it, look at this, then look at that.

The following journey speeded up, and when they encountered a flat place, they rode their horses and galloped away, which aroused the screams of the four little dolls.

It only took half the time, and everyone arrived at Mustang Mountain.The horses were led into the yard, and everyone sat down to boil water and drink tea.

"There are a little less houses here." Zhong Shuling sat next to Zhang Ci and said softly.

Zhang Ci nodded: "It is to build a few houses to live in and raise livestock. The Qijiadu side was added later. It is a big place, so we can build more houses. The houses in another village over there are the same. few."

Zhongshu Ling nodded: "Those villagers also earned some wages by building houses, so they can survive the period after the disaster."

After resting for a while, everyone walked out of the yard.

"Is this terraced field just built this year?" The speaker is Tang Chaoying, head of the warehouse department of the household department.

Zhang Ci took over the words: "It was done this year. Yao Shouzheng, the head of the county government, was responsible for the design, and led 2000 people to do it together. The county government gave great support that time."

"What is the qualifications of Master Yao?" Wu Zhongsu asked.

"He is from Xuanhe County, Xuanzhou, and he is a fellow Jinshi." Zhang Ci said.

Wu Zhongsu nodded slightly.

"What was the personnel change in Pingzhou Prefecture a while ago?" Zhong Shuling asked.

"For the time being, Shi Yanlin, the Sima of Pingzhou, will concurrently serve. The Ministry of Officials has not yet dispatched a new governor." Wu Zhongsu said.

"Why?"

Wu Zhongsu faltered.

"Then there's no need to send them. Shi Yanlin will be in charge, and a new commander will be brought in. Shengping County and Guangyun County will be reorganized soon, so hurry up and check everything." Zhong Shuling said.Wu Zhongsu nodded in agreement.

The rice in the field has been harvested, and the work of raising the field is basically over, and the villagers are busy plowing the land.The vegetables in the field are lovely green, and the trees on the mountain are lush.

"Can they resist cutting down trees?" Qi Yuwen, inspector of the household department, was very surprised.
