It's gray and cold. The branches of the transplanted pines are all drooping down, which makes them very listless.

Yuxi finished his boxing and came out of the room while wiping his sweat. Looking at this day, he asked, "did the general take an umbrella when he went out?" Yunqing went to the barracks. Dingbei army is now expanded to 50000. Yunqing spends half of his time in the barracks every day.

Corydalis shook her head and said, "Yu Cong took the coir raincoat and the hat." It's not realistic to take an umbrella on horseback. Coir raincoat and hat are more suitable. I didn't expect that her wife would make such a common sense mistake. Corydalis didn't tell Yuxi, so she was happy.

Yuxi went into the room and waited for the sweat to dry before he asked for water to wash and then had breakfast. Looking at Yuxi drinking goat's milk, jujube holds Yuxi's hand and says she wants to drink too.

Blue mother looked at Yuxi with spoon scoop a spoonful, want to feed jujube drink, busy said: "madam, big girl now can't drink goat's milk."

This word falls, originally prepared to send the goat's milk in the mouth of jujube, entered own mouth. After drinking the goat's milk, Yuxi asked: "jujube can drink rice paste, why can't you drink goat's milk?"

Blue mother said: "the child is too small, delicate stomach, a lot of things not easy to digest can not eat. Rice paste and vegetable juice are easy to digest, but goat milk and milk are not. This goat's milk or milk is best drunk after the child is three years old. "

Yu Xi nodded modestly and said, "it's a profound knowledge to raise a child." Mother Lan also took good care of jujube, which made Yuxi feel relieved.

Before long, Xu Wu came in and said to Yuxi, "madam, I've brought you. I'm waiting outside."

Yuxi asked mother LAN to take the baby out, and all the people in the room were sent out, leaving only the corydalis. Then she said, "bring him in!"

After waiting for someone to come in, Yuxi looks at the other side. The other side is very short, but his eyes are very fierce, which makes people afraid. Yuxi was surprised and asked, "you used to look like this in the Xu family?"

The man shook his head and said, "no, it's easy now. Just as I am, no one will know me even standing in front of the Xu family." People's height can't be changed, but their looks are different.

Yuxi has reservations about this answer. No matter how powerful the technique of changing appearance is, there are only some local changes. How can it really change a person. But it's better to ask Yunqing later: "what's your name?"

The man said: "in the Xu family, the code name is YINGSHANHONG." When Yuxi asked his real name, the man shook his head and said, "in the eyes of the world, I am already a dead man."

Yuxi did not comment on this issue, but asked: "the general should have told you that he is ready to sell a batch of materials to the outside of the pass in exchange for what we need."

YINGSHANHONG asked, "what is your wife going to exchange for?"

Yuxi said, "horses. There are only 5000 horses in the 100000 army of Yucheng, and these horses are not very good. It would be great if we could get some good horses back. " The 5000 horses mentioned by Yuxi also include those that are too old to go to war

YINGSHANHONG shook her head and said, "fine rice, white flour or silk can be exchanged for excellent horses, but the number will not be much. Too many words will arouse their suspicion. " It is impossible to change a lot of good horses, even ordinary horses.

Yu Xi frowned and said, "you can change as many as you can. If you can't get horses, you should try to change something unique to the northern captives, such as sable and other rare things in the inland. These things can only be sold at a good price if they are sold in prosperous places like Jiangnan. "

YINGSHANHONG shook her head and said, "madam, this is very difficult. If there are such valuable things as sable, they are all in the hands of the nobles. And we are dealing with ordinary herdsmen, who only have cattle, sheep, horses and other ordinary things in their hands. Rare things are in the hands of nobles. "

Seeing that YINGSHANHONG was so familiar with the affairs of Beiqu, she took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. After chatting all morning, Yuxi only knew a little about it. Yuxi said: "you go back to write down what you remember, and then give it to me. Do you think it's feasible?" The problems she can think of are very limited, so it is easy to miss a lot of things. Let YINGSHANHONG write down what she knows, which is more conducive to her understanding of the northern captives. If you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles.

YINGSHANHONG had no objection, nodded and said, "OK, I'll write down what I've seen and heard over the years and give it to my wife."

Yuxi rubbed his shoulder and wanted to enter the study, but he was stopped by mother Qu. Mother Qu said, "madam, no matter how busy you are, you have to finish your lunch." When the lady is busy, she has no sense of time. At this time, she has to be reminded by the people around her.

With lunch, Yuxi fed jujube, and then went into the study. They thought Yuxi would stay in the study for a long time, but she came out a quarter of an hour later. Come out not to do other things, but to prepare for a nap.

Mother Qu said, "madam, it's a good habit." Under normal circumstances, Yuxi sleeps two quarters of an hour at noon every day.

After the afternoon nap, Yuxi didn't do anything else, but accompanied jujube to play. This makes mother Qu a little confused, but mother Qu also knows the rules. It's not something she should ask about.

Corydalis ran in in a hurry and looked at Yuxi, who was amused by jujube, said: "madam, it's not good. The imperial envoy was killed on the way back to Beijing."

Yuxi held Jujube's hand for a moment, then asked, "who killed you? Where was he killed? " The imperial envoy has been away for more than ten days. According to the distance, it is only seven or eight hundred li away from xinpingcheng.

Corydalis said: "madam, it was killed by the horse thief. The place where the horse thief was killed was only 200 li away from Lancheng city. Madam, I didn't expect that these horse thieves would dare to kill all the imperial guards? Are they not afraid that the imperial court will send troops to exterminate them? "

Yuxi heart said, what she wants is this result. But this matter, the less people know the better, Yuxi asked: "in addition to Cao De, other people have escaped?" Under normal circumstances, the horse thief will not leave a living. Of course, the fateful can still escape.

Corydalis said, "more than a dozen escaped, but all of them were servants. All those officials died, none of them survived. " After a pause, corydalis said, "madam, I heard that these horse thieves hate officials most. Most of them have been persecuted by officials." However, even if they were persecuted, even the imperial envoy would dare to kill them. It's really ambitious.

Yuxi reaction is very indifferent, said: "the imperial envoy was killed by the brigands, this is not what we should worry about, the worry is Lancheng City magistrate." When the imperial envoy had an accident in Lanzhou, the governor of Lanzhou must be the first one to be held accountable by the court.

Corydalis looked at Yuxi, who was affected at all, and felt as if she was too excited. She couldn't calm down.

Yuxi said: "in a few days, it's time for Qingming hall to start, and the children in Zhuangzi to come back. Tomorrow you will go to Chuang Tzu and bring back the girls over eight. " Is also by Mr. Xia's business to frighten, Yuxi decided to choose a group of people from these orphans to use. Bought from outside or sent by Han Fu, Yuxi is not at ease.

Knowing Yuxi's worries, corydalis said, "madam, you don't have to choose all the orphans. The other kids, like Jingbai, are good. In addition, there are two other girls who are very good. If my wife doesn't object, I'd like to accept them as apprentices. "

Yuxi laughed and said, "you have a big appetite? Take three as soon as you take them. " After a pause, Yuxi said, "I don't object to your taking in the apprentice, but this matter has to be agreed by master Yang." These kids are good kids. Just for martial arts, she is a layman, and master Yang is a master in this field. Yuxi thinks she should listen to master Yang's opinions. After all, it's not a trivial matter to accept apprentices. We have to be careful.

Speaking of master Yang and Yu Zhi, corydalis is upset: "now the residence is busy, but he still has leisure to take Yu Zhi to visit friends. I haven't seen anyone for more than ten days, and I don't know when I will come back. "

Yuxi said with a smile: "it's time to come back. By the way, you can go to the kindergartens and bring back the child named Wei Meiyun, who is also very good. " Yuxi was very impressed with the child, so he wanted to cultivate the child in the mansion.

In the evening, Yunqing came back from the outside, his face was very ugly. Yuxi came forward, took the cloak from Yunqing, put it on the hanger, and asked, "why is your face so ugly? Is it because the imperial envoy was killed? "

Yun Qing was very angry and said, "these bandits and horse thieves are becoming more and more rampant. How dare they even kill imperial guards?" He didn't like Cao De, but the horse thief was so arrogant that he was really upset.

Yuxi said: "I heard that there are a lot of horse thieves and bandits in Lanzhou, and the governor of Lanzhou is not good at suppressing bandits. Bandits have become a disaster." In fact, the bandits in Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi are particularly serious.

Cloud engine cold face said: "not only Lanzhou, the whole northwest are bandits." What makes Yunqing most angry is that the court does not order him to suppress bandits. If he is ordered to send troops, he will surely kill the bandits and horse thieves in Northwest China within half a year.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "you can't kill these bandits and horse thieves." Seeing Yunqing staring at his big eyes, Yuxi said: "there are many ferocious bandits and horse thieves, but most of them are forced to go up the mountain to fight. If you can eat, dress and live a normal life for your wife, who would like to be a bandit and horse thief. After all, it is the incompetence of the imperial court and the corruption of the official administration that make it impossible for the common people to survive. " If you are a bandit, you can still live, or you will die.

Cloud Qing said after a moment of silence: "but still have to kill." If the imperial court asked him to send troops, he would not show mercy.

Yuxi said: "indiscriminate killing of innocent bandits and horse thieves will naturally be exterminated, but if you encounter those bandits who have the principle not to indiscriminately kill innocent people, you can let them go or let them go!"

Yunqing didn't promise Yuxi. No matter whether these people are forced or not, they should bear the consequences of being exterminated since they choose to be criminals.

Yuxi didn't argue with Yunqing, and said, "wait until the court gives you a transfer order." Even if the court is determined to suppress the bandits, Ji Xuan must be the leader. Only when Ji Xuan failed to suppress the bandits, could the northwest army be mobilized.

Yunqing was speechless immediately.
