Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 124
After arriving at Guzhu, they were busy for several days. Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan received a message from the house guard at noon, saying that Lady Gongsun invited them to eat late breasts.

Although Gongsun Yan specially invited her, the guard who sent the message could not tell what kind of banquet she had prepared.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan deliberately ended their training an hour earlier than usual and returned to the courtyard where they lived.

There is a hot spring in Lone Bamboo Manor, and all the courtyards use the hot spring to go there.

Among the warriors, Zhao Yun was considered to be clean. When Gongsun Yan assigned the courtyard, he chose the largest pool for him so that he could have warm water to bathe at any time.

Later, Zhao Xi came and wanted to ask Zhao Yun to take care of him, so he put them in a courtyard.

Because of Zhao Xi's relationship, Xia Houlan later did not even live in his own yard, but forced himself to live with Zhao Yun, Zhao Xi's uncle and nephew.

Fortunately, when the main house was built, these courtyards were prepared for the owner's descendants or visitors from far away. There were several guest rooms, which saved Xiahou Lan from having to share a bed with Zhao Yun.

A shed made of bamboo and wood was erected over the hot spring pool. Round black pebbles were laid on the bottom of the pool. The flowers and trees planted beside the pool were half hidden in the rising white mist.

A few fallen leaves floated in the water and clung to the man's strong arms.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were soaking in the hot spring pool together.

Zhao Yun stretched his arms, leaned against the edge of the pool, soaked in the hot water, closed his eyes and rested, his well-defined chest muscles looming through the mist.

Xia Houlan sat under the bamboo tube that brought the spring water, letting the hot hot spring water slide down from a high place, hitting her shoulders and back, and splashing water.

The pool was big and deep, and it was not crowded enough to accommodate two big men with broad shoulders and long legs.

The water splashing from high places hit her shoulders and back. Xia Houlan washed his face comfortably and stretched his neck.

The training of soldiers has been progressing smoothly recently. Because of Zhao Yun's style of taking the lead, even if they are officers, they have to fight together with the soldiers.

Especially the current training method of standing in a military posture, which requires standing upright and motionless for an hour or two.

What are the three upright, three flat, and three upright?

Xiahoulan estimated that there were only a handful of troops in the world who could withstand such intense training.

There are only three meals a day in the army, and they are all dry rice with salt, and there are also meat and teeth sacrifices from time to time. This kind of food can support such training.

Otherwise, I am afraid that many soldiers will fall directly due to such high-intensity training.

Of course, the results of the training have also been very obvious. Using this training method, many bankers who were originally hunched over and had many bad habits actually looked much taller and taller.

The most important thing is that the obedience of the entire army has been significantly improved.

At first glance, it looks like a strong army and elite soldiers.

Xia Houlan had never heard Zhao Yun talk about this kind of training method before, and he guessed that this method was closely related to Lady Gongsun.

He didn't know that the training at this time was limited by the current physical condition of the soldiers. According to the plan discussed by Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun, it was only low intensity.

Once the army's meat supply becomes available in the future, the intensity will be increased.

He rubbed his stiff shoulders and looked around funny.

Among the courtyards allocated to everyone to live in, Tian Kai's is the largest and most spacious, but Zhao Yun's one, with its clear breeze and tall bamboos, is the most livable and elegant. It is really a bias visible to the naked eye.

There is only a low wall separated from the main courtyard, and someone as agile as Zhao Yun can climb over it with just one push.

Xia Houlan couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun, who was concentrating with his eyes closed. He was handsome and handsome, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. As a man, he couldn't help but want to praise him.Xiahou Lan rubbed his chin, full of teasing, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"What's the matter?" As if aware of his gaze, Zhao Yun raised an arm from the water and wiped his face, asking.

Water droplets slid down the solid lines of his arms.

"Nothing!" Xia Houlan waved his hands hurriedly.

He knew Zhao Yun's temper and if he said something wrong, even if they were friends, they would inevitably get beaten in the name of sparring.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan have known each other since childhood, and Zhao Yun can also guess what this friend is thinking.

Seeing that he recognized the situation and didn't say anything that he shouldn't have said, Zhao Yun stood up from the water, grabbed the cloth hanging aside and wiped his wet hair, then tied it around his waist, "If you have nothing to do, get up quickly. My wife is hosting a banquet today. Don’t be rude.”

"Got it!" After hearing this, Xia Houlan also stood up from the water.

A boy servant standing outside immediately came forward and brought them replacement clothes.

Zhao Yun was stunned when he looked at the clothes on the lacquer plate. The clothes brought by the boy servant were not his ordinary clothes.

A few days ago, Manager Zhou brought the Lingluo craftsmen in the village to cut some uniforms for them respectively. They were sent one after another, but they were not of this style.

However, Zhao Xi, who had already put on a brand-new Hsinchu green robe, answered his doubts, "It was sent by Lady Gongsun just now."

Seeing Zhao Yun standing wet like this, Zhao Xi frowned and personally took a cloth and put it on his shoulders, "Put it on quickly to avoid getting cold."

For Zhao Xi, after spending many days together, Zhao Yun has regarded him as his uncle.

Although he knew that he was strong and would not catch cold easily, Zhao Yun would not talk back to him. He thanked him obediently and picked up the clothes in the lacquer tray.

Later, Xia Houlan received almost the same treatment. He received a scolding from Zhao Xi and a piece of cloth handed to him.

As the clothes fluttered open, the two of them noticed a difference.

The clothes Gongsun Yanxin sent were a robe and trousers, with the waist and cuffs tightened. The trousers were not the pleated trousers they were used to in military uniforms. They were not as baggy and more compact and close-fitting.

The cross-collar robe is divided into two pieces, front and back, obviously designed for riding and shooting.

There are dark cloud patterns hidden in the black outer robe, and the black thick-soled leather boots make it very easy to move.

Xia Houlan glanced at Zhao Yun beside him. Putting on this soap-colored clothes, Zhao Yun's slender figure was accentuated by his wide shoulders and narrow waist.

He looked down at himself again, and it wasn't bad.

"Ms. Gongsun has a good eye for choosing clothes!" Xia Houlan grinned and praised.

The boy servant brought another lacquer tray, inside were two palm-width belts, tied around the waist to make the waist appear stronger and slimmer.

Because of Zhao Yun's simple character, there were only two servants in the courtyard, one was the gatekeeper and the other did some cleaning chores.

At this time, it seemed that there was a shortage of manpower, but both Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were used to doing it by themselves in the army, so they wiped their wet hair by themselves without the help of the servants.

While waiting for his hair to dry, Zhao Yun sat by the stove, reading a book, and asked Zhao Xi, who was drinking tea, some questions.

Xia Houlan looked at the bronze mirror happily several times, and then trimmed his beard with the razor Gongsun Yan had given them.

(I just crawled back to code words this evening, and I can’t add more. Let Brother Yun go out to do the bathing as a bonus. Xia Houlan counts it as a gift.)
