At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 23 A Woman's View
Fang Xuanling was extremely embarrassed, it wasn't wrong to shrink his hands, and it wasn't wrong to not shrink back, so he could only listen to Xu Mu's words in embarrassment.

"When you come to Wanmin City, treat it like your own home, and don't see outsiders." Xu Mu took his hand and said quite boldly: "In this small western-style building, the first floor is given to your family by me. Stay here tonight, don't leave."

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, but he didn't react.

This protagonist doesn't play his cards according to the routine.

Why did you send the house as soon as you came up?

Still let him live downstairs?
Fang Xuanling's brain circuit couldn't be turned around at once, but Fang Yizhi blinked and couldn't help asking: "Can we live here too?"

Unlike Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Fang, he likes this small three-story western-style building with a different style very much.

"Of course." Xu Mu smiled slightly, and then let go of Fang Xuanling's hand. Well, the main reason is that the hot pot is boiling.

He had been hungry all night and hadn't eaten yet.

"Come on, you're welcome, let's not talk about anything else tonight, just taste the unique delicacies of Wanmin City."

Xu Mu directly picked up a piece of fat beef and put it into the boiling pot.

And Zhang Xutuo... lowered his head and looked directly under the table, his brows were furrowed, as if he had some doubts.

"Does General Zhang have any questions?" Xu Mu couldn't help asking when he saw that something was wrong with Zhang Mengnan.

You know, when eating hot pot on weekdays, Zhang Xutuo has a big appetite, and one person can eat five people's weight.

Have no appetite today?

"There is one thing I don't know about the end of the day. In the past, when eating hot pot, you need to burn firewood to burn the stove. Why today... there is no firewood under the table?"

Like a curious baby, Zhang Xutuo looked under the table while talking.

Only then did Fang Xuanling realize that the soup on the table was boiling, but they...didn't see any firewood?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help lowering his head, bending over and looking under the table.

I only saw something surrounded by a round iron sheet, but I didn't really see firewood!

There is no smoke from the flames.

That being the case, how does it heat up and make the soup boil?

Only then did Xu Mu suddenly understand, and explained: "It turned out to be this. This is the honeycomb briquette developed by the research institute not long ago, and then a custom-made stove. The briquette briquette burned in it naturally does not need firewood."

"Honeycomb coal?" Fang Xuanling was surprised again, and couldn't help asking: "Coal burning is easy to produce black smoke, why is there no trace of it?"

Xu Mu said with a hearty smile: "This briquette adopts full combustion technology and incorporates other materials, so there is no black smoke when it burns."

In fact, Xu Mu is very satisfied with Fang Xuanling's surprise now, um, very good, another old Yang.

He just captured Lao Yang, and he is very confident that he can capture Lao Fang in three days.

After solving the doubts in his heart, Zhang Xutuo then showed an astonishing appetite at the dining table, stunned Fang Xuanling's family.

After eating, Zhang Xutuo realized that the four people including Xu Mu were staring at him, and laughed dryly: "This hot pot is really delicious in the world. Although I have eaten it several times, every time I smell the aroma, I can't stop , let everyone laugh."

Hearing his words, Xu Mu rolled his eyes.

Zhang Xutuo is worthy of being a fierce general on the battlefield, he can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and the dining table is like a battlefield, sweeping away thousands of troops.

All the food in the red soup was swept away by him, leaving nothing behind.

But Xu Mu had the foresight to never grab the red soup with Zhang Xutuo, and ate the clear soup silently.

Otherwise... probably like Fang Xuanling's family, they would be starving.

But right now, Fang Yi was poking his lips, looking at the empty red soup and clear soup with a pitiful look.

Zhang Xutuo contracted the red soup, while Xu Mu and his family contracted the clear soup.

But in general, their family is too well-behaved, and their meals are so refined, how can they compare with Xu Mu?
Xu Mu was full, so naturally they could only eat half full.

After dinner, it was getting dark, so Xu Mu and Lao Fang exchanged a few words and asked him to go back to the first floor to rest.

The first floor was officially assigned to the Fang family.

Since then, he and Lao Fang are neighbors, which also shows the importance he attaches to Fang Xuanling.

After the three of Fang's family left, Zhang Xutuo reported to Xu Mu what happened on the way back.

"After the general entered Henan County, he discovered that Li Mi's Wagang Army was moving troops around. The general speculated that he was very likely to attack Luoyang, so he deliberately stayed for a while longer to observe the details of the enemy army in Henan County, so that My lord is worried." Mentioning this, Zhang Xutuo was ashamed and blushed.

Of course, it is also possible to eat red soup.

Xu Mu nodded, frowned and said: "Just the day before yesterday, Wanmin City conducted a blocking battle, beheaded more than a thousand enemy troops, and built a Jingguan. monument."

Zhang Xutuo was even more curious about this old Yang: "I will see this person at the end of tomorrow."

"That's natural, but... the sentries haven't noticed any movement outside the mountain in the past two days. I think that after the Xiaoguo army is injured, they won't enter the mountain in a short time." Xu Mu nodded and began to discuss rebellion with Zhang Xutuo Strategy.

Zhang Xutuo is a famous general in the world, although he has some ideas, but it is inevitable that there are many omissions.

"My lord wants to seize the Luokou warehouse?" Zhang Xutuo's eyes widened, and his breathing was a little short.

Luokou Warehouse, the first warehouse in the world, was built from the time of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. For decades, the amount of grain in it was unknown.

Xu Mu solemnly said: "This warehouse is only a hundred miles away from Yangcheng, and the food is worthless. My Wanmin City must take it if I want to develop rapidly!"

"But Wang Shichong of Luoyang has many troops, and our army...is not strong enough to take it down." Zhang Xutuo frowned and sighed.

Xu Mu couldn't help laughing and said: "General Zhang is thinking about it. To deal with Wang Shichong, we have Li Mi, and we only need to cut off the beard!"

Zhang Xutuo's eyes lit up: "What is cutting a beard?"

"Since General Zhang has found out about Li Mixing's army and intends to attack Luoyang, but in my opinion, his goal must be Luokoucang!"

Xu Mu is quite confident about this. He has also conceived a way to cut off the beard these days, but it is too risky and Zhang Xutuo must lead a team to do it.

Although this battle is not on the bright side, it is extremely dangerous and requires strong execution to complete.

None other than Zhang Xutuo.

"Appreciate further details."

Zhang Xutuo listened respectfully, and when he heard Xu Mu's method, his eyes lit up even more.

"What does General Zhang think?" After speaking, Xu Mu looked at Zhang Xutuo.

"This plan is quite risky, but if it succeeds, we will have no worries about the food for the next ten years in Wanmin City!"

Zhang Xutuo applauded and laughed, his words were quite moving.

"Just to teach Li Mi a lesson that will never be forgotten." Xu Mu grinned, showing a meaningful smile.

Zhang Xutuo was taken aback for a moment, and then a cold light appeared in his eyes: "Li Mi is a thief, and he will eventually kill him sooner or later!"

"General Zhang, don't worry, Li Mi is a man who fights more and more bravely in adversity, but if he is in good times, he will be arrogant and lose."

Xu Mu patted Zhang Xutuo's shoulder and comforted him.

Two years ago, he escaped from death and rescued Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo hated Li Mi to the bone, and he was able to win his allegiance. Apart from saving his life, he also promised that one day in the future, he would definitely let him kill Li Mi with his own hands.

The two began to discuss the details of cutting off Hu, and when they were finalized, it was already midnight.

Zhang Xutuo didn't have a place to live, so he naturally lived on the second floor.

Xu Mu lived on the third floor.

That night, Xu Mu slept well, because Zhang Mengnan came back and lived downstairs from him.

The group of Xiaoguo soldiers outside the mountain don't have to worry so much anymore, Zhang Xutuo can share a large part of it for him.

But on the first floor, Fang Xuanling's family didn't sleep very well.

Fang Xuanling and his wife slept in the same room, and Fang Yizhi slept in the same room.

Thinking back on all the things during the meal, Fang Xuanling couldn't fall asleep at all.

Xu Mu said that he would take him to visit Wanmin City tomorrow.

Give him three days to think about it before making a choice.

His mood at this moment was exactly the same as that of Yang Guang back then.

"Madam, tell me... Do I want to be a thief?"

The two were back to back, Fang Xuanling muttered to himself.

Mrs. Fang said coldly: "I don't know about you. Why do you come to ask me a woman about matters between men?"

Fang Xuanling: "..."

He really wanted to refute that if she hadn't been a woman, he wouldn't have come to this place.

With a long sigh, Fang Xuanling said that he could only live with the situation.

The big deal... for the sake of his wife and children, he will temporarily follow the thief, and then he will not offer a plan, just like Xu Shu in the Three Kingdoms period.

There was silence at night for a long time.

Mrs. Fang pushed him lightly, and said in a low voice: "I saw the lord today, and his speech and behavior are quite easy-going. If you refuse, he will not make things difficult for us, will he?"

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly and shook his head.

He really wanted to scold a woman's view of a woman, but the wound on his face just healed reminded him to be careful when speaking.

"From a thief to a thief, now Yang Guang is fatuous and immoral, the world is full of rebellions, and the Sui Dynasty is bound to perish. As for who can win the world, maybe it is this lord! Now you are blaming me for causing you to come to the mountains, maybe Then you have to thank me!"

Mrs. Fang snorted coldly, and then... Fang Xuanling kicked her onto the bed.

"The old rules tonight, you play on the floor."

……

the next day.

Outside the small foreign building, the sound of soldiers practicing woke up Fang Xuanling's family.

Fang Yizhi was the first to get up.

After he got up, he wanted to leave the small foreign building, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding outside the small western building.

"Want to go out?"

Xu Mu just finished washing, looked at the ten-year-old Fang Yizhi, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Fang Yi stared at Xu Mu with a slightly flinching look, but he still nodded calmly.

Although his parents told him that the thief in front of him is a murderous person, Xu Mu's current impression of him is not bad.

"Let's go, I happen to be going out too."

Xu Mu smiled and motioned Fang Yi to follow him.

Fang Yi looked back at his parents' room, but at the age of eleven or twelve, he still wanted to play, and followed Xu Mu to the school early in the morning.

Before approaching the school grounds, Fang Yizhi heard a mountain-like voice.

In winter, it looks very cool.

Give him a warm-blooded feeling.

When he approached the school grounds, he saw the guards wearing iron pagodas practicing, they were mighty and majestic, and he was stunned for a moment.
