After spending a long time, I finally figured out what the little guy was thinking.
It turned out that Li Shentong had sneaked out once before, but he was discovered and captured that time, so he wanted to follow Xiao Han's path.
As for why he wants to go to the grassland so much, the answer is simple:
When the Turks approached Chang'an, a group of Turkic ghost soldiers passed by Li Jing and others in Zhuangzi and went in to rob them.
Although the people in Li Jing's village reacted quickly at that time, and some young men rushed out in time to fight off the ghost soldiers, in the end, some villagers were still taken away, and several of Li Shentong's partners happened to be among them.
"I want to find them!" Looking at Xiao Han in front of him, a hint of red gradually appeared in Li Shentong's bright eyes.
"them……"
Xiao Han wanted to tell Li Shentong that the person captured by the Turks was probably dead at this time, but after seeing the little guy's red eyes, he swallowed the words that were already on his lips!
"What's the use of going to the grassland alone? How many people can you find in the vast grassland?" Xiao Han sighed and said as he bent down and rubbed Li Shentong's head.
Li Shentong ignored Xiao Han's big hand, said with red eyes and gritted teeth: "If I can't find them, I will kill the Turks!"
Xiao Han laughed at this: "How many Turks can you kill by yourself and you haven't grown up?"
"I have grown up, and as you said before, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one!" Facing Xiao Han's look of looking down on him, Li Shentong tried to straighten his back and said not to be outdone.
Xiao Han looked at Li Shentong, who could barely reach his shoulders, and suddenly remembered that when he was this old, he seemed to be just as angry and young and frivolous.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Han whispered to him: "No, I can't take you out."
"Why! I treat you as a friend!" Li Shentong was so anxious that he grabbed Xiao Han's arm and said.
"Because I also regard you as a friend!" Xiao Han looked at Li Shentong seriously and explained: "Now that you are going to the grassland alone, let alone killing Turks, you are not sure whether you can survive! Also,
Even if you survive, the Turks are lining up for you to kill, how many people can you kill?"
"Then I don't care!" Li Shentong's voice was already crying, but he still said stubbornly: "I just want to kill them!"
"I know!" Xiao Han patted Li Shentong's shoulder sympathetically, holding back his temper and said to him: "But, we are smart people, and you are the stupidest to show off your courage like a mediocre man! There are ten thousand of us.
It’s a good method that can be used, why should we choose this method?”
"Is there any other good way?" Li Shentong looked at Xiao Han steadily through his fluttering eyelashes and asked.
Xiao Han sighed and slowly said to him: "There are many good ways. For example, you can learn the art of war first, and then lead the army to kill the Turks after you learn it! Think about it, an army of people is better than you alone.
Bar?
Moreover, if you think this is too slow, you can find someone to do it for you! I think you don’t need to find anyone else, just your brother!
You can go home and beg him. Of course, this is not begging him to let you go out, but begging him to help you train soldiers! Specializing in training soldiers who can fight on the grassland!
When we reach the grassland, as long as you watch from behind, there will be countless Turks you hate being killed in front of you. Maybe your friends will be rescued by then, how good is that?"
Xiao Han said a lot in one breath, and finally deceived the doubtful little guy back.
Standing at the intersection, watching Li Shentong walking farther and farther accompanied by Xiaodong, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh heavily:
"Hey, it's going to be over soon!"
In the great era, the fate of small people is always like that of rootless duckweeds, drifting with the water.
I don't know if Li Shentong's few friends will survive until the day when Datang counterattacks, but the days have to go by day by day.
Soon, it began to snow in the sky, and the New Year gradually began to approach.
At this time of year, shopkeepers who have been busy in various places for a year will return to Xiaojiazhuangzi one after another to report the results of the year to their families.
Before this year, housekeeper Lu would always handle this matter, but starting from this year, everything will be handled by the hostess of the family, Xue Pan.
Putting on the gorgeous imperial attire, this was also a title specially given to Xue Pan by Li Shimin after he ascended the throne. It is somewhat strange that Xiao Han is still a third-rank official, but he has to be matched with a first-rank imperial wife.
When the shopkeeper comes home, the account books are the first to be delivered. This is also evidence that they have been busy outside for a year and need to be taken seriously.
The Xiao family's account books use the double-entry accounting method, which is much clearer than the previous running accounts, and it is much faster to check.
After being reviewed by Butler Lu, Xiao Shiyilang and others, the achievements of the shopkeepers along the way were clearly visible on the paper.
The shopkeeper with the best performance will naturally receive generous rewards!
The Xiao family is never stingy with money when treating meritorious people!
As for those with poor performance, they can only drool and watch others take the tempting rewards from Xue Pan's hands.
As a newcomer this year, Xiaofeng, who came to the house with his father, was curious about everything in front of him, especially the Marquis who was sitting in the main seat and had been unsmiling from the beginning. Is he really the companion who ate and lived with him last year?
"Xiao Feng?" Xiao Han saw Xiao Feng staring at him, and couldn't help but smile, so he called him.
Xiaofeng was still in a daze at this time, but his father beside him had quietly stepped on his foot, and a burst of pain woke him up.
"Xiao...Xiao Hou, you called me?"
The call last year was so smooth. Now when he opened his mouth, he almost called out Xiao Han's name. Xiao Feng, who was startled, quickly blushed and bowed his hands.
The shopkeepers next to him also stopped talking and turned to look at him curiously, wondering why Xiao Han singled out this person's name.
However, they did not know that Xiao Han was simply thinking of the time when he, Cheng Yaojin and others were on the road with Xiaofeng at this time last year.
One year is not a long time, but it is enough to change a lot of things.
At this time, looking at the cautious caravan boss and Xiao Feng in front of him, Xiao Han also knew that the identity barrier made them unable to find the same feeling as before.
Shaking his head, Xiao Han casually asked Xiaofeng a few questions. After knowing that they had now started taking the Liaodong Road, Xiao Han said no more.
After all, there are so many shopkeepers here, and talking too much in front of these people will easily lead to a lot of unnecessary speculation.
Once upon a time, the population of the Xiao family was very small.
At that time, everyone in the family was enjoying themselves! We had a pot of rice together and dreamed a dream together. However, as time passed quietly, this warm family gradually began to have rules and classes.
