Chapter eight hundred and fortieth love and righteousness
A few days later, Tao Shang led his troops to return to Qufu City.
Before leaving, he told Magistrate Jin Qi that if he came to Jin Qi City next time and saw him not wearing pants at the county government office, he would definitely have sex with him without saying a word.
In the tearful farewell of the county magistrate Jin Qi, the pottery merchant set off with his troops, and the three armies sang a triumphant song and embarked on the road back to Qufu City.
But along the way, the pottery merchant actually did not go peacefully.
He began to worry about food and fodder.
Seeing that the deadline of 15 days is coming, we are about to face the danger of running out of food. Although we have sent people to Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou, including Pengcheng and other places to send request letters, we have not yet received the request.
required responses.
Of course, Diao Chan also issued a letter asking for help.
But after all, it was an unknown quantity, and he was not very confident about the energy of the women in his family.
But the fact is right in front of us, it's so urgent that we can't hide it even if we want to.
Along the way, the potters were not particularly happy and felt quite dull.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Qufu City, Tao Ji, who had explored the way first, came back and said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, Mr. Guo led a group of Chinese soldiers, civil servants, and soldiers to greet the Prime Minister outside the city."
The potter said softly "Hmm" and did not take the greeting seriously.
Until a group of soldiers and horses arrived in front of Qufu City, the sound of drums and horns in front of the city suddenly woke him up.
The welcome music also sounded in the venue, and the sound was melodious and lingering.
The potter frowned and looked ahead carefully.
But Guo Jia, Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, A Fei, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and other important civil and military officials were there, and behind them were a large group of musicians and drummers.
The band was playing a thunderous welcome song to welcome the potter's triumphant return.
A smile appeared on the corner of the potter's mouth.
"These heartless people are still in the mood to show off at this time."
Although he said that, for some reason, seeing these colleagues who were like family members, the depressed mood just now on the road disappeared in an instant.
The pottery merchant got off his horse and walked to Guo Jia. Looking at a group of men who came out of the city to greet him, he smiled and teased: "Are you here just to flatter me?"
Guo Jia smiled and bowed, saying: "We are here today to congratulate the Prime Minister for defeating the Yizhou Army. The Prime Minister is so powerful that he defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. He is truly the most outstanding person in the world. We are very grateful."
I respect the Prime Minister for his great power."
The potter nodded slightly and said: "The first point is purely official talk and nonsense. Let's talk about the second point."
Guo Jia smiled and winked: "We want to collectively ask the Prime Minister to give us a monthly salary, but I don't know if that's okay?"
The pottery merchant couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
He glanced around the crowd and said in a low voice: "I don't even have food and grass for next month, and you actually collectively asked me to give you a salary increase?"
Guo Jiadao: "Does the Prime Minister not agree?"
"You still agree? I think I should give you my full resignation."
Guo Jia couldn't hold back his joy and burst out laughing, and the generals behind him couldn't hold back their joy either.
The potter raised his eyebrows.
Based on his understanding of his group of people, he knew that something good must have happened in Qufu City during his absence.
You can guess it by looking at their performance.
A group of dogs cannot hold two ounces of sesame oil in their bellies.
The potter looked around and found no trace of Lu Su or Chen Deng in the crowd.
"Where are Zijing and Yuanlong?"
Guo Jia cleared his throat and said: "The two of them presided over the distribution of food to the three armies in the school grounds on behalf of the Prime Minister."
"Food?" The pottery merchant was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly flashed with joy: "So, the grain and grass from our rear have been shipped?"
"The food and grass crisis has passed." Guo Jia suddenly straightened his face, then bowed to Tao Shang and said: "The Prime Minister is unparalleled in his wisdom and scheming. This time he really taught Guo... It turns out that in this world,
, people who can really solve difficult problems are indeed around us sometimes. It’s ridiculous that Guo’s vision turned out to be superficial.”
The potter's heart couldn't help but beat for a while.
"Have the people who helped us...come?"
"Here we are, handing out food with Yuanlong and Zijing at the school ground."
The pottery man strode inside.
"Prime Minister, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"School Ground."
"Why don't you go back and change some clothes first?"
"No change."
…
When I arrived at the school field, I saw the captains, captains, hundred-man generals, and generals of each battalion. They were reporting the number of people in each battalion and receiving food according to their heads.
As soon as the pottery merchant entered the school grounds, the soldiers present started shouting
When the soldiers saw the pottery merchant, they all cheered and made a loud noise.
"Long live the Prime Minister!"
"Long live the Prime Minister!"
Facing the cheers of the soldiers, the potter's eyes fell on two women dressed as men in the field.
Yuan Wan and Zhen Mi.
Both women had a dusty look on their faces.
Their faces were a little darkened and they looked very haggard. It seemed that both girls had suffered a lot in recent days.
The potter stepped towards them.
The two girls looked at the potter and laughed together.
They are all happy smiles that come from the heart.
Seeing the two girls who were tired and weathered, the potter felt an indescribable feeling of emotion and guilt in his heart.
"thank you all……"
Zhen Mi touched her nose. Her hands were a little dirty, but when she reached out, she rubbed her small nose black.
"This family is so unorthodox."
The pottery merchant turned his head and looked at the handfuls of grain, and said with a trembling tone: "These are all obtained with the property of the Zhen family and the Yuan family... I will definitely pay back, double the amount.
ensure."
Yuan Wan came over and said with a chuckle: "You can return the Zhen family's things if you want. You don't need the Yuan family's things. The things of the Yuan family in Hebei were originally given to me by you. I just kept them for you. Now they are
The things have been returned.”
Zhen Mi said with a smile: "If the Yuan family doesn't want it, then of course the Zhen family doesn't need to return it. The Zhen family doesn't hold the door open."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pottery merchant suddenly stretched out his arms, hugged the two girls together, and said softly: "Thank you... my family."
At this moment, both girls blushed at the same time.
They were hugged by the potter on the left and right, and their faces felt as hot as a fever.
Zhen Mi wanted to reach out and push him away, but for some reason, she didn't have the strength.
Yuan Wan let go and let him hold her.
Zhen Mi whispered: "What are you doing? There are so many people watching... I'm so embarrassed."
Yuan Wan didn't speak. She was more open-minded than Zhen Mi. She just closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed the moment.
The potter hugged them gently and whispered: "Thank you... my family."
Yuan Wan and Zhen Mi escorted the grain and fodder. For convenience, they wore men's clothing. In addition, both of them were tired and weathered, so the big boss in the military camp did not notice it for a while.
In their eyes, the pottery merchant was... holding two men in his arms.
