The summer days in Yanbei are also very hot, especially at the junction of grassland and desert.

There is no grass growing around the mine.

At noon, several soldiers who had just returned to the camp to rest after changing their guard under the scorching sun were eating large watermelons that had just been delivered and cut into pieces.

After one sip, an atavistic scream came from his throat.

"Wuhu~ It's great! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to have this bite if I came here!"

The resting soldier gnawed the watermelon at an extremely fast speed, showing off a piece of it in one breath before speaking.

"It's such a hot weather, I'm going to get heat stroke if it comes a few more times!"

"Who says it's not the case? It's really unlucky to be sent here at this time.

I really envy my brothers over there in Meijiapu. It’s more convenient to eat watermelon than here! "

A group of soldiers brought by Mei You to the iron mine in the grassland east of Yanping Pass were changing their posts to rest, eating watermelon and bragging about that area.

This place is surrounded by mines. There is no grass around the mines. It is extremely hot during the day and freezes to death at night.

If it weren't for the fact that the barbarians are ready to move around here, no one would want to be here.

"No matter how bad it is here, there are iron mines and coal mines. Both of these are good things~"

When the veterans talked about starting the mine, the expressions on their faces were very emotional.

"Although we have had sweaters in the past two years and cotton quilts last year, life has been a little better. But if there had been enough coal in the early years, we would not have killed those people..."

If you have been a soldier for a long time, what kind of life and death have you never seen before?

However, soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but were frozen to death unknowingly due to low temperature. That is really aggrieved and useless.

"In the past, when the Tatars were around, those barbarians looked okay. Now that the Tatars are gone, everyone wants to jump around. They don't even look at how much they weigh!
What's going on?In the past, we were all beaten on the ground by the Tatars, but now they dare to challenge us. I am really speechless! "

The young soldier cursed when he mentioned this.

Who was not happy at the beginning of the year that there would be less things to do without the Tatars, but now?
A bunch of clowns are just like toads lying on your feet, they are just disgusting!

"Don't talk about barbarians, I heard from the brothers who changed the guard two days ago that they seem to have seen the assassination of the Hanzhou Army. Even if they are not safe, they want to get a share of the pie!"

Meiyou stood behind a rock not far away and overheard the conversation of the soldiers in the camp. She turned her head and looked to the south with an unpredictable expression.

···
Since King Wei started to rebel and Yunzhou fell into the hands of Dongfang Tai, Xianyao stopped pretending.

Xianyao Fucheng is no longer pretending.

But as they and Mayberry confessed, they were really poor.

But this doesn’t mean they don’t work hard. On the contrary,

In addition to having enough food and drink for themselves every year, the savings they saved were used to help Xie Changxu carefully take care of Xianyao.

Xian Yao has no idea about the imperial court now, but they can still remember the mention of Prince Changping. When Xie Changxu suddenly appeared behind them and quickly controlled Xian Yao, it was Xiang Yi and the others who had done it under the guidance of Lord Xie. Well done.

But it was also at this time that Mayberry completely got to know another person.

Thank you sir.

He is also the real grandfather of the original person and the adoptive father of Xie Changxu.

A very powerful eunuch.

Just because he helped Xie Changzhen so much, Xiang Yi even changed the title of Mr. Xie to Mr. Xie to show his respect.

For the first time, Mayberry wanted to know more about her grandfather.

From what she heard from Mr. Xue in the past, she had only a vague idea that her grandfather was a man who was unsmiling but very caring towards his own people.

From what Xiang Yi and the others said, her grandfather was a thoughtful, careful and thorough person.

As for the imperial court, although Mei Pei had no contact with him, thinking about their previous attitude towards Xie Changxu, one can imagine the image of his grandfather in their hearts.

Such a powerful person was forced to enter the palace and become a eunuch due to temporary difficulties and desperation.

Late at night, Mei Bei remembered what she had said to Xiang Yi in the afternoon. Sitting at her desk, she could only sigh with emotion.I heard that Prince Changping's kindness towards her grandfather was forged from that time.

Therefore, she received full help from her grandfather at the last moment.

"It's so late, what are you doing without sleeping?"

The window was open on the summer evening, and Mayberry was startled by the sound outside the window.

She turned around and saw Xie Changxu standing there, surprised and happy.

"Why are you here?" Mei Mei was separated from the other party through the window. She even looked around, looking at the dark night behind Xie Changxu, and then asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I came over in the evening after eating. I heard that you were still busy talking to Xiang Yi, so I took a rest before coming over."

"You're not afraid of coming here in vain. What if I fall asleep so late?"

"If you fall asleep, I will wait at your door and give you a surprise tomorrow morning."

"Hey~ I don't want you to guard the door."

Mei Mei glared at Xie Changxu, turned around, poured out a cup of fruit tea on the desk and handed it to Xie Changxu, and then said, "I won't let you in tonight."

"nothing."

Xie Changxun took Mei Berry's teacup and rubbed it, stared at Mei Berry's face carefully for a while and then said: "She looks a little thinner than before."

"really?"

Unexpectedly, Meiberry held her face in surprise and said, "Have you really lost weight? My face has become smaller?"

Plumberry grew a lot of flesh while in Fengning.

It’s because the seafood is so delicious that Meiberry is still thinking of ways to eat it in different ways.

What about boiled, steamed or fried seafood?
What seafood hot pot, seafood porridge, seafood risotto;
Only Xie Changzhen doesn't eat plumberry regularly.

Although Tian Qi always said that Mei Qi stayed up late because she had weak Qi and blood, but Qi and blood deficiency does not mean that people will not gain weight.

Now when she heard Xie Changxu say that she had lost weight, Mei Bei's mood immediately improved.

Appreciating what Mei Bei was thinking, Xie Changxun couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You were also very good-looking when you were in Fengning, and you weren't fat."

Mei Bei felt happy to be told by Xie Changxun, but she still did not forget that Xie Changxun was running back and forth, and she was a little worried and said: "By the way, how long did it take you to get here? Are you feeling well? Don't go back. I was talked about by Grandpa Xue again."

Xie Changxuan said that he came to look for him after resting for a while, but how could the fatigue of traveling all day long be solved by just a short break?

"Okay, if it's not good, Mr. Xue will curse, and I can't bear it."

Meiberry, who was amused by Xie Chang's wise words, put her hands on the window sill and laughed non-stop.

The cool breeze blew slowly at night, and Mei Mei gradually woke up from the cheerful atmosphere just now. She looked at Xie Changshu again and said, "How long do you plan to stay when you come this time?"

"How long do you want me to stay?"

Xie Changxu asked this question back to Mei Bei.

Mei Mei thought seriously for a moment, then looked at Xie Changxu and said, "Please wait a little longer and let the big guys in Xianyao City take a good look at you."

Mei Berry still remembered Xiang Yi's words. After she finished speaking, her tone was a little melancholy and sighing.

Xie Changxun understood what Mei Mei meant, lowered his eyes and hummed softly.

It's not like he doesn't know what's going on here in Fucheng.

Those who once followed his father are still willing to follow him, so naturally he cannot let these people down.

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you..."

Xie Changxuan looked very confused when he said this. While handing a letter to Mei Qian, he also asked: "When did you meet the people from Hanzhou?"
