"Doing business?" Xiao Keer looked at Xia Shang seriously, but couldn't find anything about him that was related to a businessman.
Cooperation with the Xiao family is a thing of the past. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of pirates in Xuzhou.
Xia Shang didn't explain much and yawned again.
Xiao Ke'er's face turned slightly red and she murmured in a low voice: "Is it so difficult to sleep in other people's rooms?"
Xia Shang scratched his head and did not answer.
By this time, the carriage had arrived near the military camp.
The military camp is located in a location with serious water accumulation, and many soldiers can be seen cleaning up the water in the military camp.
Although the current situation in the military camp is a bit embarrassing, every soldier's face is filled with joy.
It seems that the previous victory has indeed greatly improved everyone's momentum.
The guard at the door saw the approaching carriage and immediately came to stop it: "Don't get close to the important place of the military camp."
Xiao Keer opened the car curtain: "It's the Xiao family's car."
The Xiao family made great contributions to this victory, and the entire Xuzhou Army knew it.
The Xiao family had gained fame and status in the Xuzhou army. When they heard that they were from the Xiao family, the guards immediately moved out of the way and allowed the carriage to enter the military camp.
After entering the military camp, General Lou came quickly and was very excited to see Xia Shang's condition intact.
Xia Shang was invited to the meeting hall, and then went to inform others.
Xiao Keer also waited in the meeting hall with Xia Shang. After entering the meeting hall, the sand table in the hall quickly aroused Xiao Keer's interest.
She looked at the sand table for a while, then stared at Xia Shang and said, "I heard that the task of building the waterway was mainly based on a so-called 'sand table'. I guess this is the sand table, right?"
Xia Shang nodded.
Xiao Keer looked at it for a while and praised: "This thing is very ingenious, simple and easy to understand, and clear at a glance. However, if this seemingly simple thing does not have a flash of inspiration from a smart person, it will not be known to the world.
They all said it was you, my lord, who thought of it."
"It's just a gadget. There's no need to go into it. It's just where you heard this."
"Although it has only been one day, there are already many legends about Lord Xia in the city. Everyone knows that he made the sand table, led everyone to dig water channels, and used his power to reach the sky
God prays for rain.”
"When can I ask for rain?" Xia Shang smiled, "The world just likes to catch shadows without sealing."
"Others are not clear about it, how can I not be clear about it? This rainstorm has nothing to do with you?"
Xia Shang wanted to explain, but there were rapid footsteps outside the meeting hall.
All the important military officials, headed by Prince Li Xin, came. Although many of them were injured, they all beamed with joy when they saw Xia Shang.
"Master Xia woke up safely, I am relieved." The speaker was Jiang Hailong, who walked to Xia Shang and patted Xia Shang's shoulder gently.
Then everyone expressed their concern for Xia Shang and Xia Shang thanked them one by one.
Only Prince Li Xin behaved normally, without much emotion.
Although as a prince, it was not a problem for him to show a normal expression at this moment, but seeing him looking so silent, Xia Shang felt a little bit disappointed in his heart.
This made Xia Shang a little suspicious. Didn't the prince hope that he would come back safely?
Do you still hope that you will die during the mission?
It's not impossible. In the current political stance, Xia Shang and Li Xin are on opposite sides. Xia Shang's death is definitely a good thing for Li Xin.
Xia Shang frowned and quickly threw away these unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
The main issue now is to be consistent with the outside world, not to be suspicious of each other.
This idea is very dangerous, and it is very likely that the enemy will take advantage of it.
"This is a great victory. I have already presented myself to the imperial court. Soon the capital will learn of our achievements." Li Xin said lightly, "Now the pirates have been scared out of their wits, at least recently.
There won't be any more action for a few days. To celebrate this victory, I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. Let's all have a good rest today."
When they heard that there was wine to drink, all the soldiers cheered in unison.
But after Li Xin said that, he left alone.
It seemed that he did not intend to attend this party.
Watching Li Xin leave, Jiang Hailong whispered to Xia Shang: "The prince is also injured, so he probably isn't very interested."
Xia Shang naturally didn't care and talked and laughed with everyone enthusiastically.
The banquet is indeed being prepared, but there is no room here.
because
Because most of the military camp was soaked by rain, it was obvious that everyone could not drink in the water.
Finally, the generals moved the banquet to Baiweixian.
Mainly due to Xiao Keer's suggestion, this restaurant, which is extremely famous in Xuzhou City, has always attracted everyone. Even these generals, no one has tried it.
Everyone became more excited when they heard that they could go to Baiweixian for a meal.
However, eating at Baiweixian is not free. Xiao Keer said that it can be cheaper, but you can’t live without money.
Jiang Hailong secretly took military funds, thinking that he could let everyone eat openly.
As a result, the meal cost a full four hundred taels of silver, even though it was much cheaper.
All the generals were confused. How could they have imagined that they could eat so much in one meal?
I muttered to myself, saying that the Xiao family's business was too screwed up.
In the past, these officials would have argued with the shopkeeper, and they might have made a scene and left without paying.
But the owner of this restaurant is Miss Xiao, and Miss Xiao is a hero and the benefactor of the Xuzhou Army. She cannot bargain with others on the price of the meal.
Jiang Hailong touched his pocket and found that he only had two hundred taels of silver with him. He felt very embarrassed when paying the bill.
These generals usually live frugally and their salaries are not much. The richest ones are naturally Xia and Shang.
But this meal is for everyone to celebrate Xia Shang's success, so we can't let Xia Shang pay for it, right?
In the end, more than a dozen generals scraped together and took out all the private money hidden in their underwear before they had enough money for food.
After leaving Baiweixian, the group of people lost the excitement they had when they first arrived. They were cursing in their hearts. They just believed the businessman's words. They didn't expect that even a little girl could kill people so well.
Xia Shang was drunk and did not follow everyone back to the military camp, but was taken back to Xiao's house by Xiao Keer.
Somehow, in Xiao Ke'er's eyes, Master Xia was not from the same group as those officers and soldiers. At least he didn't look like a soldier, but more like an elegant and coquettish talent, who behaved with dignity at the wine table.
His posture is much more elegant than that of those warriors.
Such people cannot stay with a group of reckless people all day long. It would be a pity to end up like them in the future.
So Xiao Keer continued to take Xia Shang home on the grounds that his health had not recovered, and continued to let him sleep in her bed.
