Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

The old man saw his hesitation and said, "Don't worry, just give it to him. It will only be good for the border guards and not harmful. If you can't see the general, you can just give it to He Xiong."

He Shan asked, "Do you want to bring something to Yong'an?"

"No, he just left a few days ago. Send this letter to the general as soon as possible. Don't delay." The old man waved his hand and called Liu Dongniang to prepare some dry food and broken silver for He Shan.

He Shan collected the letter carefully, took no one else with him, rode a horse, prepared an extra horse and hurried out.

He hurried along slowly and hurriedly, and finally reached the border at dusk on the second day. He dismounted and bought some things, and then went directly to the entrance of the military camp.

Fortunately, the guard guarding the gate had a familiar brother. When he saw that he was back, he was overjoyed. When asked, He Shan did not tell the truth.

He made an excuse, "Our master's family has a caravan at the border. I'll help deliver some things. I'm thinking about my brothers. Come back for a walk and see everyone, okay?"

After that, he picked up a few roast chickens and two jars of good wine in his hand and shook them as if to show off, which made everyone scream.

Someone went to ask for leave from Shangguan, and then took He Shan back to his tent.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy, and the sky was completely dark. He Shan used urine to escape and went to find He Xiong.

He Xiong was very surprised when he saw him. He stepped forward and slapped him on the shoulder vigorously, shouting, "I heard for a while that you were back. I thought everyone was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true! Logically speaking, the Tai family team We just entered the grassland, are you coming here now to chase the convoy to deliver something?"

"I'm here to deliver something, but not to the Tai family's motorcade, but to the general!" He Shan pulled out the letter from his arms and revealed a corner.

He Xiong understood and immediately led him into the general's camp, avoiding everyone.

The general also had some impressions of He Shan. After all, they were all veterans who were good at fighting and had made great contributions to the border guards. Otherwise, he would not have been selected by He Xiong and sent to the Tai family.

The general was not in a hurry to get down to business, so he took him to drink tea and chatted a few words about home affairs.

"How are you living in the Tai family? What are you busy with every day? How about food and accommodation?"

He Shan responded quickly, "General, don't worry. The Tai family will treat us like their own family. We are well fed and clothed. We have no other job except patrolling day and night to ensure the safety of the village."

When he mentioned patrolling, he felt a little anxious.

After all, most of the people in the village are now in the mountains and forests, and he came to the border again. If someone is harmful to the Tai family and the village, it will be a bad thing.

With this in mind, he quickly took out the letter and held it in both hands.

"General, this is a letter that Uncle Tai asked me to send you. Please read it and ask for a reply. I will take it back with you."

The general took the letter, looked at him again and laughed.

"It seems that the Tai family is really good to you. You have already taken root there. Even if you return to our military camp, you will still miss you in your heart. Good thing, we are all relieved!"

He Shan didn't realize it himself, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

The general opened the envelope and read it at a glance, looking a little strange.

He Xiong couldn't help but ask, "General, does Uncle Tai have anything to entrust to us?"

The general shook his head, turned to He Shan and ordered, "At this time, you can't pass the border. Stay in the military camp for one night and go back tomorrow. There is no need to reply to the Tai family, just say thank you."

He Shan nodded, quickly saluted, and retreated.

He Xiong became more and more confused, but fortunately the general handed him the letter to read.

It turns out that there is no other content on the letter paper, only a personal name, a total of one hundred or ten. "This is...the list of officials accompanying the emperor on his northward journey?" He Xiong was surprised.

The general nodded, "It should have been sent by the Sixth Prince through the Tai family."

"The Sixth Prince is interested. Did he know what's going on in Kyoto and show his favor to us?" He Xiong had a headache when he thought of the news in Kyoto. If it weren't for his status and distance, he would have wanted to marry the second young master in the general's palace. Give him a good beating!
People say that a tiger's father has no sons. How could a general like this give birth to such a fool?It doesn't help at all, it only hinders me!
The general has guarded the border for many years despite the wind, snow and severe cold. He did not see the merits of his hard work. Instead, he was reprimanded by an order because of a few rumors. It is simply chilling and ridiculous!

The general saw the change in his expression, and he sighed inwardly as he guessed.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. He has been at the border all year round, and his second uncle's family in Kyoto is restricting him. It is no longer easy for his wife to support the general's palace. If there is a problem with his son's education, he can no longer blame him no matter what.

Sometimes, he even thought that it would be better if the emperor really removed him as a general. At least the family would be reunited.

But thinking about his deceased father, the many soldiers who followed him, the enemies outside the pass, and the thousands of people, the burden on his shoulders cannot be relieved.

We can only wait and endure. Maybe one day when the time is right, all problems will be solved.

As for where the opportunity is, no one knows...

His eyes fell on the blank envelope, and there was a faint light in his eyes...

At dawn, He Shan said goodbye to his familiar brothers and rode back to Taijia Village.

In just three or four days, there was naturally no change in the village, and no outsiders noticed that there was one less person patrolling Taijia Village.

Of course, it's because there's a bigger happy event coming.

A light snow fell at some point in the night, covering the earth and mountains with a thin layer of cotton clothing.

A naughty boy ran out screaming, trying to grab a snowball and throw it out. Unfortunately, there wasn't much snow falling, and it gradually melted when the sun came out!
The naughty boy was very disappointed and wanted to collect them on the wall or in a tree, but his mother pulled him by the ear and took him home to change into thick clothes.

At this time, the naughty boy suddenly jumped up and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Mom, it's my dad, it's my dad! They are back!"

The woman turned her head and looked at the dirt road outside the village. Sure enough, a group of ragged and dirty people were staggering home carrying packages on their backs!

She immediately forgot about her son and greeted him with tears in her eyes.

"Wow, my boss, you are back!"

The peaceful morning was broken, and every village became noisy on this day.

No one else needed to report the news, the women in Taijia Village had already rushed to Taijia to report the news.

"Uncle Six, I'm back. All the people who worked as slaves are back!"

It happened that Mr. Tai was also there. The two old brothers were sitting under the eaves, looking at the corn sticks hanging everywhere in the yard and laughing and talking. When they suddenly heard the news, they were naturally happy.

"Seriously?" Mr. Tai patted his thigh and said with a laugh, "I'm looking forward to them coming back. My family has a lot of work, and the boys are finally back!"

Mr. Tai also laughed, "It's the same in my family. I don't feel it on weekdays. The boys are not at home, and suddenly I feel like there is work everywhere!"

"Third uncle, sixth uncle, can you get the people on the mountain to come back quickly?" The woman was also anxious and wanted to go up the mountain to report the news immediately. (End of chapter)
