"Tomorrow, I plan to go out of the city to pick them up."
Taking a sip of the dim wine brought by the waiter, Tang Jian's eyes were a little blurry, as if he was recalling those days on the grassland.
Tang Jian was born into a wealthy family. He was the grandson of Zuopu She Tang Yong, the minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Tang Jian, the governor of Rongzhou in the Sui Dynasty. It can be said that he had a distinguished background.
A direct descendant like him will be trained by the family from an early age and cannot find partners and play like other children of the same age.
When he grew up, he directly joined the officialdom! Over the years, in addition to fighting with enemies, Tang Jian also fought openly and secretly with other ministers in the court.
Perhaps only the days he spent with the people in the caravan were the days he felt most at ease and missed the most in most of his life.
"Out of town?"
Tang Jian was still recalling everything he had with the caravan men, but Xiao Han, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle and refused: "There will be a war soon, it's too dangerous.
Don’t go!”
"Danger?" After hearing the unexpected answer, Tang Jian came back to his senses in shock and stared at Xiao Han in disbelief: "You are the general of the Seventeenth Guards!"
"Yes, that's right!" Xiao Han ate the mutton and said without raising his head: "But I'm just here to deliver food this time, not to lead any troops!"
"But those people are your people!" Tang Jian's expression was twisted, and the fire in his heart was rising.
I don't know why, but whenever he is with Xiao Han, Tang Jian's skills in hiding and concealing his emotions that he has developed over the years will disappear in an instant, and he will become like an ordinary old man.
Xiao Han picked up the big bowl, drank a few big mouthfuls of soup, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said matter-of-factly: "Yeah, so I'm going to prepare a table of wine and food in the city to reward them, what?
?Mr. Tang also wants to be a member?"
"They are out there fighting for you, but you don't even want to go out of the city to greet them?!" Tang Jian was so angry that Xiao Han's casual look made him tremble all over!
Thinking of those innocent and straightforward caravan men, and then looking at their shameless family master! Tang Jian just wanted to put the soup bowl on the table on Xiao Han's head.
"Shameless person, shame and shame! I'm so angry!"
In the end, Tang Jian slammed the table, got up and left angrily!
When the driver driving the carriage for him saw this, he quickly dropped his chopsticks and followed closely.
At the door of the restaurant, a man dressed as a garrison general happened to be walking into the restaurant at this time. When he saw Tang Jian approaching with a gloomy face, he quickly handed over his hands: "Tang Gong? What are you doing..."
But the man didn't expect that Tang Jian, who was always gentle and elegant, wouldn't even look at him this time. He yelled angrily: "Get out of the way!" Then he pushed him away and strode away!
"What's wrong with this man?" The man who was pushed aside stood there blankly, looking at Tang Jian's retreating figure with a puzzled look on his face.
"Who knows, this old man is too angry. He will fall out at any time..." Xiao Han's faint voice came from the restaurant.
He was originally just joking, but he never thought that Tang Jian would care so much about those days on the grassland that he would react so violently!
Looking at the thin figure walking away, Xiao Han had some doubts: Is this still the minister of Honglu Temple who deals with various countries, finds favor in every situation, and never leaks anything?
"Leave him alone, Feng Da, come sit down and have some food together." With a wry smile, Xiao Han shook his head and called the man at the door to come over and sit down.
That's right! The man staying at the door at this time was one of the two living soldiers beside Chai Shao!
After they said goodbye on the battlefield, Xiao Han never saw Chai Shao and them again.
For this reason, he specifically asked Chai Shao. When he learned that these two living treasures had volunteered to become the leading soldiers, he couldn't help but sigh for a while, thinking that it would be difficult to see them again in the future.
But Xiao Han didn't expect that after a few years, when he came to Shuofang this time, he unexpectedly discovered that it was the two of them who were handing over the food!
It is precisely because of this that as soon as Xiao Han arrived here, he immediately became the shopkeeper and wandered around the city.
"Xiao Hou, why did you meet Tang Gong?" Feng Da saw Xiao Han calling him, took a few steps to the table, scratched the back of his head and asked: "Also, what's wrong with him?"
"Tch, I don't know what's wrong with this guy."
Hearing that Feng Da was still obsessed with Tang Jian's video, Xiao Han rolled his eyes helplessly and thought to himself: What else can I tell you, is it me who makes him so angry?
He got up and pulled Feng Da to sit down across from him, and ordered the waiter to serve another broth. Xiao Han organized his thoughts and asked him with a smile: "Where is Liu Er, why isn't he with you?"
Feng Da and Xiao Han are definitely old acquaintances. When Xiao Han first fell into the Tang Dynasty, the two had a fatal friendship on the battlefield.
So after the unfamiliarity of the first meeting passed, the two seemed to have returned to their original state, even though Xiao Han was now the top dignitary in the Tang Dynasty, while Feng Da Liu Er had just reached the small sixth-grade military position of Captain.
"Oh, Liu Er is watching those bastards put in the warehouse! Save them from carrying the food back to their homes." Feng Da took a sip of mutton soup, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Han: "I'm looking for it first.
Come over and tell you that the quantity of grain is correct!"
"Nothing! Can I still carry food back to my home like your ruffians?"
Xiao Han raised his hand and cursed with a smile. Feng Da on the opposite side laughed twice and was too embarrassed to say that this was a normal process, so he could only continue to drink the soup with his head down.
Xiao Han was already eighty percent full at this time, and while holding a wine bowl and enjoying the taste of rice wine, he saw Feng Da eating meat and drinking soup like a whirlwind.
"Hey, do you know who else will come to Shuofang City in a while?" After swallowing a mouthful of slightly sweet and sour wine, Xiao Han suddenly remembered something and asked Feng Da opposite him.
"Who?" Feng Da's mouth was full of food. He took a break from his busy schedule and didn't forget to reply to Xiao Han.
"Chai Shao!" Xiao Han did not show any restraint in front of Feng Da, and directly reported his name.
"Ah? The chief manager is coming too?"
Sure enough, when he heard the name of his old boss, Feng Da on the opposite side was obviously startled. The soup bowl in his hand slipped and spun around on the table several times, and the soup spilled all over the table!
It was still early November, Chang'an had just sent troops, and the news had not yet reached Shuofang, so Feng Da and the others had no idea that the imperial court had decided to launch a war against the Turks. They only knew that the atmosphere this year was particularly tense!
Some time ago, Tang Jian entered the city and never left. Feng Da didn't think it was strange.
Later, Xiao Han sent food, and the amount was huge! Feng Da didn't take it seriously.
But now, I heard that Chai Shao is coming too! No matter how stupid Feng Da is, he should smell something unusual!
"Xiao Hou, you, the chief steward, Tang Gong..." Looking at Xiao Han stupidly, Feng Da even breathed a little faster! These people gathered in Shuofang, could something big happen?!
"Bah! You are the head of the palace, and your whole family is an eunuch!" Xiao Han couldn't help but rolled his eyes and yelled angrily after hearing what he meant.
