Chapter 304 Please let go
Although the young army was not a regular army, it was the emperor's grandson's army, so they were naturally stationed in the city.After settling down the troops, Wang Xian ordered the quartermaster to count the supplies, marched in the rain for more than ten days, many of the supplies were afraid that they would be ruined...

But the result was better than expected. The quartermaster he taught had good skills and a sense of responsibility, and kept the loss to a minimum. He couldn't help but show off and submit the loss report.

"Material loss is not that big..." Wu Wei took it over to take a look, but didn't pass it to Wang Xian, but just reported it softly.

Wang Xian didn't even look at it, but looked at the sky with both eyes.The quartermaster was stunned for a moment, not knowing what mistake he had made.

It was Wu Wei who knew Wang Xian's heart, sighed, walked to the table, picked up a pen, copied a new list, handed it to the quartermaster and said, "Pass it up according to this."

"Yes," the quartermaster replied, and was stunned after looking at the list, seeing that all the losses were ten times greater than before, "uh..."

"Hundreds of thousands of army monks have too much porridge and too little. If you don't order more now, you won't be able to get what you want on the grassland!" Wu Wei reprimanded in a low voice: "You are so ignorant, why should you be a quartermaster..."

"Yes!" The quartermaster was shocked, and hurriedly saluted and went out to report.

When the quartermaster went out, Wang Xian scolded: "You idiot, you have to make your words so clear."

"That's what I said, if he was so smart, my lord wouldn't let him take care of military supplies." Wu Wei smiled wryly, "Didn't you value him at the beginning because he knew the truth and was honest?"

"That's true." Wang Xian nodded, picked up the list and looked at it: "There are a few items here, we purchased them ourselves, and we can't make up for them. I still think of a few supplies, and list them together. You can go to the street to buy it later..." As he spoke, he picked up the pen, wrote down the names and corresponding quantities, and praised them in his heart as he wrote them. talent...

"Unexpectedly, my lord's calligraphy is already very profound." As expected of being a child, Shuai Hui knew what Wang Xian was thinking at a glance, and immediately praised him.

"Stop flattering me." Wang Xian snorted and said, "My attainments can only be said to be... not too shallow..."

"[-] catties of ginger, [-] catties of big green roots, as many carrots, apples, and pickled cabbage as you want..." Erhei couldn't bear to listen, and read one by one: "My lord, do you want to treat the monk to dinner?"

"How?" Wang Xian handed the list to Wu Wei, asking him to think about it.

"Then it's all vegetarian," Erhei said in a muffled voice, "the soldiers ate dry food every day, and their mouths faded out."

"When you arrive in the pastoral area, are you still worried about having no meat to eat?" Wang Xian said indifferently: "This time the emperor's personal conquest, even if the various ministries in Hetao do not join the army, they will also send cattle and sheep to work."

"There's nowhere to find these out-of-the-way things on the grassland." Wu Wei understands medical principles and medicinal materials, and knows why Wang Xian bought these things, so he filled in a few things: "Don't look at these as ordinary things. But it can keep us from getting sick on the prairie and have strength, and it is a blessing for the soldiers to meet an officer like your lord."

"I didn't expect you, a guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, to start flattering you." Shuai Hui laughed and said, "How do you want us to live?"

"But you may not be able to buy all these in the market." Wu Wei pretended not to hear, and said to Wang Xian to himself: "Xuan Mansion is not the mainland after all, so it is impossible to have all the supplies."

"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Let's go out and have a look together, and if we don't have one, we can buy a substitute."

"Your Excellency, this is the posture of buying Guangxuan Mansion!" Shuai Hui laughed.

"That's right, I never imagined that my most luxurious shopping trip would be with you gentlemen, what a waste!" Wang Xian scolded with a smile.

.

If Beijing is the key to the Central Plains, then Xuanfu is the key to the capital. Its south screens the capital, and then controls the desert. It has always been a battleground for strategists.In fact, although the territory of Ming Dynasty still stretches thousands of miles north, and there are frontier fortresses, this border city is the northernmost big city of Ming Dynasty.

The Xuan Mansion prospered because of the distribution of military supplies, because of the trade between Han and Mongolia, and because of the gathering of hundreds of thousands of troops, there was a sudden burst of noise.All kinds of merchants, prostitutes and actresses, and Han and Mongolian people who came to sell goods all gathered here to do business.From morning till night, the inside and outside of the Xuan Mansion were bustling and noisy, making the soldiers from the south feel like they were back in the densely populated area of ​​Wuzhong with thousands of businesses...

"Unexpectedly, there is everything here." Shuai Hui exclaimed, "Old Wu, do you underestimate the Xuan Mansion?"

"Indeed." Wu Wei nodded. He didn't expect that everything could be bought so quickly.Asking the quartermaster to transport the supplies back, Wang Xian said with a smile: "It's rare to come out, let's go to the tavern and have a good meal before going back."

"Your Excellency is really considerate of his subordinates," Shuai Hui said with a smile, "I'm already so hungry that I care about my subordinates."

"Passing by that house just now, it looks good..." A group of people were talking, and they were about to turn back, but they heard a loud voice from a distance: "Catch them! Don't leave the Wala spies!" Please avoid the crowd!" Then the crowd became agitated, and several people subconsciously hid aside to avoid the upcoming commotion.

As expected, the riot soon spread. The crowd pushed and shoved, and knocked down countless baskets and pavements. For a while, people jumped and screamed, and the street became a mess.

"It seems that the big restaurant can't be eaten." Wang Xian didn't like to meddle in his own business. Now that he heard that Jin Yiwei was on business, he was even less interested. When he turned around and saw a small noodle restaurant behind him, he turned around and said, " Make do with a bowl of noodles, let's go back to camp."

"Oh, that's the only way to go." The brothers followed in helplessly. The noodle restaurant was very small, but Wang Xian had 30 guards in total.In consideration of safety, Wu Wei and Xian Yun's eyes also quickly scanned the people in the store, only to see that there were only two tables of guests, both of whom were Mongolians, and a few of them, who looked like guards, had already reached for the scimitar around their waists.

At this time, the shopkeeper also came to his senses, seeing a group of soldiers in military uniforms, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Masters, please come inside."

Shuai Hui laughed and said, "One bowl of sliced ​​noodles per person, [-] catties of beef, and no wine." He asked Wang Xian to sit down, and the guards also picked up tables and sat down.

Their appearance seemed to make the Mongolians quite uneasy. Before they finished eating the noodles, they took out their copper coins to pay the bill and wanted to leave the noodle shop.At this time, it was obvious that the leader of this group was a young man with big eyes and a thin body, but his face was dirty and he couldn't tell his appearance.

But this doesn't affect Wang Xian's good habit of helping others, he said with a smile: "Little brother, it's very chaotic outside now, you'd better wait a while before going out."

Unexpectedly, the young man looked at him blankly, as if he didn't understand Chinese.

"Okay then, I'll tell you in Mongolian," Wang Xian said undeterred.

"Your Excellency can speak Mongolian?" Shuai Hui asked in surprise.

"You guys, you can't go out to work, go out and die." Wang Xian nodded and said to the Mongolian young man.

"My lord speaks Mongolian very well, I can understand the general idea." Shuai Hui was even more surprised.

It's a pity that several Mongolians were still in a daze. One of the men told the shop owner wow wow, Shuaihui sighed after hearing this: "This man's Mongolian is not very good, I can't understand a word."

"Master Jun, he said, they don't speak Chinese." The store owner acted as an interpreter.

"That's right, translate what I just said to him." Wang Xian laughed.

The shop owner hurriedly whined to the man, and after a while he said to Wang Xian, "He said thank you for your concern. They are in a hurry to get out of the city, and they won't be able to get out when it's late."

"You asked which tribe they belong to and what kind of business they do?" Wang Xian ignored them and asked himself.

After the shop owner asked, he asked back for the other party: "He asked, who are you? Why do you ask them?" Looking at the faces of several Mongolians, anger has already emerged.

"I didn't see the military uniforms on us!" Shuai Hui stared and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, just go back to the barracks and talk slowly with us!"

The store owner showed fear, and hurriedly warned the other party. The Mongolian face became even more angry, but although they didn't live in the house, they also knew that there was no reason for people not to bow their heads under the eaves: "They said they were Tumed The clansman of the Ministry, who came to Xuanfu to sell cowhide."

"Cowhide, good stuff!" Wang Xian said happily, "How much is it?"

"Sold out……"

"Then what did you buy?" Wang Xian asked persistently.

"I haven't had time to buy yet..."

"Good guy." Asked here, Wang Xian and Wu Wei looked at each other. Judging from their experience in Pujiang, this group of people is definitely not authentic.

"Little brother, why don't you sit down and let's talk slowly." Wang Xian looked at the Mongolian young man with a smile and said.

Knowing what Wang Xian meant, the group of Mongols became anxious, but the young man signaled them not to be restless, Shi Shiran sat down beside Wang Xian, and said wow wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wow.

Wang Xian listened with a smile, and when the young man finished speaking, the shopkeeper translated: "He said that he also likes to chat, but unfortunately he can't understand Chinese, and you can't speak Mongolian either. It's really a chicken talking to a duck."

"It doesn't matter," Wang Xian said with a smile, "as long as our hearts are connected, we can overcome language barriers..." He grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "Little brother, do you believe in fate? It’s like old friends at first sight with you.”

Seeing the young man's hand being grabbed, the Mongol screamed anxiously, and someone even drew a knife.

Wang Xian's guards suddenly stood up and drew their sabers from their waists!

The young man wanted to twitch his hand but was held tightly by Wang Xian. He still didn't change his face, but his ears were red. He suppressed his shame and anger to stop the clansman, and said a few words to Wang Xian.

"Please let go of my hand..." the shopkeeper whispered.
