Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 133 No Coincidence Two Letters
"Father, I think that the second prince really wants to share the country's worries. When he heard me say that the people are suffering, he can't pretend to be so sad. I still have some respect for a prince who can care about the people. Yes, after all, what they saw in the past was the prosperity of the city, and what they enjoyed was also the splendid clothes. They couldn't understand the hard life of the people at the border. Everyone in the world thinks so beautifully. Only when I left home did I realize that the outside world is too big. There are so many things I have never seen or heard of. He can understand the suffering of the people. He is much better than me at the beginning, so , I think he should have had some private contact with the people, we might as well take a look at his behavior first, if he is really wholeheartedly for the people, we can get closer, not for anything else, just To save the people at the border from suffering."

These words made General An's heart thump. Perhaps, it is not a good way to just avoid all the bribes and approaching blindly. Although he is wholeheartedly for the people and loyal to the emperor, above the court, he still There will be a lot of forces, because their own will not be bought, and they are quite scruples about themselves, so that even their own Marquis Mansion has been used by others. They should want to threaten their closest relatives In order to achieve the purpose of intimidating myself, in this case, I might as well strike first, but thinking of this, General An still fought a cold war, no matter which prince it is, no matter how dedicated he is to the public, rely on it Well, that's all about forming a party for selfish purposes, which is what the emperor is most concerned about, so don't be tempted to think about it like this.

"Zhiyuan, I understand your thoughts. During this period of time, you can have more contact with the second prince. If he is really as you imagined, and he has no other thoughts, just for the safety of the people, then you You can get closer to him, but only close, like a friend, do you understand?"

An Zhiyuan glanced at his father, General An's eyes were very solemn,

"Zhiyuan, I am the brave general of Wuxia Kingdom. I am only loyal to the Holy Majesty and the people of Wuxia Kingdom. Do you understand?"

It's just a general friendship, which is acceptable, but if it's a party, then it's absolutely unacceptable,
"The child understands."

An Zhiyuan nodded vigorously. Even if he can't help his father, he must not cause trouble for his father. He is only a layman in this political matter, and he is far from being able to understand it. What he wants to learn from his father There are too many, but fortunately he still has time, he can learn slowly, but he regrets that he learned too late,

"That's good, father can rest assured, Zhiyuan, you have to remember, you can't look at the surface when looking at people. Some people may not be able to see clearly after you have been in contact with them for the rest of your life, but you can spy on him from other things he does. Original heart, you are still young, it’s normal that you can’t see through people’s hearts, but it’s also because you are still young, you can slowly understand it when you have time.”

What his father said coincided with his own thoughts, which instantly made An Zhiyuan feel better.

"Father, the second prince came today and brought me something. You must not be able to guess what it is?"

An Zhiyuan handed the box in his hand to his father. General An looked at An Zhiyuan suspiciously, took the small box, and opened the copper buckle on the box. The water bag inside suddenly caught General An's eyes.
"Potion?"

General An said a little excitedly,
"Yes, it's a potion? Father must not have thought of it?"

General An nodded several times in a row, he really did not expect,

"Why did the second prince bring this thing, didn't he..."

Could it be that he has been staring at his own son, otherwise, how could such a thing get into his hands?General An seems to have some bad premonitions, but don't act like you think, in that case, the second prince will definitely not be able to stay, not to mention anything else, a person who has been coveting his son, General an would never believe that he had no other thoughts.

"Father, it's like this. Xiao Lanzi and Uncle Lan went to the capital. The largest grain store in Li's family in Wuxia Kingdom is run by Xiaolan's adoptive father, and Xiaolanzi wants her younger brother to study hard so that he can leave later. Going into an official career, starting a family and prospering, these all need to pave the way first, so she took the opportunity to send food to her adoptive father after autumn, and went to Beijing with her father. Before going to Beijing, she I just want to buy some land in the suburbs of Beijing first. As you know, the land in the suburbs of Beijing is not easy to buy. She has entrusted the shopkeeper Meng of the Fulu Restaurant in the town to help her find it more than half a year ago, but there has been no It happened that before she came to Beijing, the shopkeeper Meng helped her lead the line. It was a Zhuangzi of the second prince, so as soon as she arrived in Beijing, she bought the second prince's Zhuangzi first. Because of this, the second prince saw her. The carriage happened to be the one you gave her, and the second prince recognized Fanbang's horse, so the following things happened, it was a mistake."

The second prince didn't tell An Zhiyuan that the Fulu Restaurant belonged to him, so An Zhiyuan didn't know that shopkeeper Meng was under the second prince's subordinates, but General An felt that it was not that simple after hearing what An Zhiyuan said. Don't believe in coincidences in the world, there are no coincidences in the book, they are only in the scriptures, they don't exist in life, in the eyes of General An, coincidences are traps, this is his experience in leading troops for many years, If he hadn't analyzed and dealt with it meticulously when there were coincidences, he would probably have lost his place in today's military tent.

"Zhiyuan, a shopkeeper in a small town, how could he know the second prince, and if he didn't, how did he get in touch with the second prince? The land in the suburbs of Beijing is not easy to buy, even you know it, let alone Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Now, if you hold it in your hands, it is impossible to sell it easily. Do you think that the second prince is short of money? If he is not waiting for the money, why is he selling Zhuangzi? If he is waiting for the money , Then why is he in a hurry to spend money? Have you ever thought about it carefully, and have you ever felt that there is something wrong?"

Confused by General An's series of questions, An Zhiyuan began to think carefully about what the second prince said to him. Only then did he realize that there were too many loopholes in the second prince's words, and he suddenly broke out in sweat.

"Father, I was negligent. I should ask more carefully."

"If he doesn't want to say it, it's useless for you to ask any more. You don't have to think about it. I'll find a way for someone to check it out."

General An waved his hand lightly, telling An Zhiyuan to put this matter aside first. If the second prince really had something in mind, it would not be something An Zhiyuan could solve.

"By the way, Father, Little Basket has written a letter."

An Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the letter in his arms, and hurriedly took out the letter from his arms,
"Your own letter, read it for yourself."

General An didn't believe that a little girl would be so thoughtful, no matter how smart she was, she would not have such political sensitivity, because she had no contact with these things, and she didn't need to. It's just about paying attention to your body, paying attention to safety, General An is not interested,
"Father, father, look, there is a letter from you, it is a letter from Xiao Basket to you."

An Zhiyuan pinched the letter in his hand and called his father, but he didn't believe it. He held the letter in front of his eyes, made sure that it was written by General An himself, and then handed the letter to his father again.

"A letter to me?"

General An couldn't believe it. This little girl in the countryside is too bold. She asked the second prince to bring things from thousands of miles away, but even asked the second prince to bring her a letter. Should she be called stupid? , or she is stupid and bold, and besides, she has never met me before, so if she has something to say, even if it is some advice, she should tell Zhiyuan, but she can't tell herself.

After thinking about it, General An still took the letter, and An Zhiyuan was also very curious about what the little girl said to his father, so he moved closer to read it with his father, but General An turned his body sideways to avoid him,
"Look at yourself, why are you so curious, if it's something I can tell you, I'll tell you later, but what if I can't?"

An Zhiyuan curled his lips, the little girl had nothing to say to him, and his father was too careful, he just wanted to say hello out of politeness, and it wasn't a military newspaper. As for that, but he couldn't disobey his father, I had no choice but to step aside boredly, and casually opened the letter that the little girl wrote to me. The letter only told him to pay attention to safety, that guns and swords don't have eyes, and don't act blindly. On the battlefield, it is most taboo to show bravery. They fight side by side, and insist on drinking a cup of potion every day, which can increase his resistance and sharpen his sensitivity. This is very useful on the battlefield. Let him not forget to give Uncle Zihao and General An Prepare some drinks, and especially told him that when he is marching and fighting, he must have some on his body, just in case, being so missed by the little girl, An Zhiyuan's heart was filled with sweetness, and he always felt that he couldn't see enough, so he went Read this paragraph of the letter again, and then continue to read.

The next part of the letter is to tell him how to make biscuits, she came up with two more, these two are more suitable for carrying on the march, and let him try to make it with the cooks in the camp when he is resting in the camp , Moreover, she also came up with a method of not using an oven. This is what An Zhiyuan is interested in, because they are at the outermost edge of the border, and there is still a long distance from the nearest Wuli Town. There is really no way to buy an oven. Take it with you, now Lan Lingxue thought of a stove with mud, lit the bottom of the fire, and used two iron bars to build a square iron basin with sides. Put the biscuit blanks on the shelf, and then take an iron lid to cover the clay stove firmly, but you have to master the time and heat yourself, this is not difficult, practice makes perfect, Lan Lingxue's method is really good It is simple and practical. No matter where Daying moves, you can dig some mud and set up a stove. It is very convenient. An Zhiyuan immediately raised his head and wanted to call his father, wanting to tell him the good news. It is easy to carry, easy to store, not easy to mold, even if it is crushed, it will not delay its taste and practicality, but because of a problem with the baking, after the biscuits are wiped out, the army will start to eat them again Dry steamed buns and hard pancakes.
