On the surface, the Tang camp was calm, but undercurrents were surging. All the military commanders received the news of the attack. After being shocked, they quickly made arrangements secretly.
Today, Xia Yu was not in the mood to practice martial arts. Early in the morning, he took out his "Gaihu" sword and wiped it carefully.
As the saying goes: sharpening your gun before battle will not only make you bright but also bright.
Gaihu is a typical Tang horizontal sword with a long, narrow and straight blade, which can be used for both cutting and thrusting, and is extremely lethal.
"Good knife!"
Xia Yu pulled off a strand of hair and placed it on the blade. She made a decisive decision. Her eyes lit up and she started to admire her from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother-in-law," Yin Yuan Wuqing sat aside and begged: "Do I still need to recite the formula today? I've been so dizzy these days while reciting it, can you give me a day off?"
Xia Yu thought for a while: "Okay. By the way, go and call Hu Sanyi and Zhang Yu in."
"good."
When Yin Yuan heard this, he thought he could be lazy for a day and went away happily.
After a while, Hu Sanyi and other eleven people filed in and greeted each other: "Military advisor."
Xia Yu put down the horizontal sword and ordered: "From now on, all members will be on guard secretly. The sword will not leave the body, but no traces will be exposed."
"After nightfall, all personnel are on standby in armor and are not allowed to sleep."
"The war horses should also be well fed and fed, tied in front of the tent, and ready for use at any time."
Hu Sanyi and others were shocked: Is this the rhythm of a war? But, what kind of war is going on in the middle of the night? Will Zheng Jun attack at night?
"military adviser--"
Just as Hu Sanyi was about to speak, Xia Yu interrupted: "Don't ask any more questions. It's an eventful night tonight, so everyone must be cautious."
"No." The guards were not fools. They were solemn in their hearts and bowed to accept the order.
Yin Yuan became energetic after hearing this: "Brother-in-law, is there going to be a war? Great, I also brought weapons and armor. I will protect you when the time comes."
"stop!"
"From now on, you will stay by my side obediently and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Yin Yuan was still a little unconvinced: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with being fourteen? Since ancient times, many people have gone into battle to kill the enemy at the age of ten."
Young people are all hot-blooded, and they don't know the dangers of the battlefield.
"What's going on?" Xia Yu suppressed forcefully: "You might die! Your father is your only son, will he agree to your reckless behavior?"
"I can warn you, if you don't obey, I will send you back immediately."
"When the time comes, don't blame your father for breaking your legs."
Yin Yuan grimaced. If Xia Yu really drove him back, Yin Kaishan could really break his legs.
You know, in the general family, children are not educated in a formal way. What they use is whips and fists.
Drinking, practicing martial arts, and beating up children are the daily pleasures of the Yin Kaishan people.
"I know, brother-in-law." Yin Yuan gave in. He didn't want to be hung on a tree by his father again and whipped with a whip until he screamed.
"By the way, are there any barbers in the army?" Seeing that Yin Yuan was taken care of, Xia Yu suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Hu Sanyi and the others.
All the guards looked at each other, and Zhang Yu asked, "Want to get a haircut, military advisor?"
"Yeah, the hair is too long."
Xia Yu touched her hair. After traveling for more than a month, her hair was swollen and her original short bob had no shape.
When I started washing my hair, I felt it was troublesome and wasted a lot of money, but I couldn't do it anymore.
"But no." Zhang Yu shook his head with a look of embarrassment.
"Then you Tang people, uh, don't you guys cut your hair now? Just let your hair grow forever?" Xia Yu was speechless.
"No." Zhang Yu explained: "We don't cut our hair, we just trim it."
"Every one or two years, or for major events such as marriage or adulthood, we will choose an auspicious day to trim our hair shorter to make it easier to wear buns."
"We won't throw away the trimmed hair. We will collect it or burn it."
"Burn it?" Xia Yu was puzzled.
"Yes, this is to prevent the broken hair from falling into the hands of demons and using it to do bad things, such as witchcraft and the like to harm people."
"..." Xia Yu was stunned.
Good guys, we all know that the ancients paid attention to body, hair, and skin, and that they were influenced by their parents, but there is no need to make it look like a major event in life, right?
Why don't you go to heaven if you're still a witch?
So superstitious!
He could only say with a grimace: "So, you don't have any need for haircuts, so there is no need for the army to have barbers with the army, right?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded, Military Advisor, you finally understand.
Xia Yu was a little crazy. He just wanted to get a haircut. Why was it so difficult? There must be one in Xin'an City, but it wouldn't be a bother to go there.
Why should I ask Li Er for leave for such a trivial matter?
It would be strange not to be laughed to death.
If you really can't do it, you can shave it yourself, but you don't have any tools?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia Yu's mind: "Well, there's no barber, but there's always a razor, right? I think everyone often trims their beards."
Everyone looked at each other, and Hu Sanyi said cautiously: "Commander, there is a razor, but that thing is only suitable for shaving, not for trimming?"
"It's okay." Xia Yu said without changing his expression: "As long as it's sharp, is it okay?"
"have."
"Go get it."
"No. I'll go."
Hu Sanyi took the initiative to ask for help, and after a while, he brought a razor. Although it was small, only about one finger long, it was sharp enough.
"Excellent, enough."
Xia Yu asked Zhang Yu to take a towel and wrap it around his neck, then said to Hu San: "Come on, shave all your hair for me, okay?"
Everyone was stunned: Shaved!? People in the Tang Dynasty didn’t do that, unless they were monks!
"Brother-in-law, will you become a monk if you shave off your hair?" Yin Yuan reminded him with a strange look on his face.
"Fart!" Xia Yu sneered: "Who said a bald head is a monk? I think it's convenient and cool, isn't it okay?"
This reason is too powerful! Everyone's expressions twitched and they couldn't understand it.
"Stop talking, let's express it." Xia Yu urged.
Unable to defeat the eccentric head of the family, Hu Sanyi picked up the razor and decided to make sure that no grass grew on Xia Yu's head.
"Be careful, don't cut your scalp." Xia Yu said worriedly, these days, a tetanus can kill someone.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I'm very stable with the sword in my hand." Hu Sanyi was very confident.
At that moment, the scraper started, and all the threads of Xia Yu's three thousand troubles were cut off one by one, and the broken hair fell in clumps.
Yin Yuan and others were horrified to see it.
This scene only occurs when a monk is ordained, and has never been seen before. For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent felt strangely like "the wind is rustling and the water is cold."
After a while, a smooth head was born, which looked awkward to everyone.
"Military advisor, it's done." Hu Sanyi smiled apologetically.
"Let's take a look in the mirror."
Everyone hurried to help, some went to get the mirror, and some helped Xia Yu brush away the broken hair on her body.
Looking at the big bright light bulb in the mirror, Xia Yu was very satisfied. It was refreshing, neat and not ugly. She felt somewhat similar to the bald Peng Yuyan.
"The craftsmanship is pretty good." Xia Yu was happy and took out a golden bean from her purse and threw it to Hu Sanyi: "This is for you."
"Thank you, Commander."
Hu Sanyi almost went crazy with joy. This golden bean was equivalent to his salary for one month. The owner of the family was so generous. He was willing to go through fire and water without hesitation.
When Zhang Yu and others saw it, they were so envious that their eyes almost became bloodshot, and they only regretted that they had not taken the lead just now.
"Okay, everyone else is staying in the tent. Hu Sanyi, Zhang Yu, you two accompany me to the Chinese Army. I have something to do with His Highness."
"promise."
Xia Yu rode Teng Shuangbai and swaggered through the city.
Teng Shuangbai is dressed in snow-white and has an unusually powerful horse. It was originally very eye-catching, but it was overshadowed by Xia Yu's bright bald head.
Along the way, everyone who saw Xia Yula's cool hairstyle was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and some even had their arms crossed and sprained their feet.
Xia Yu is thick-skinned, but he doesn't take it seriously. It's his freedom to style his hair, isn't it?
When they arrived in front of the handsome tent, they bumped into Zhang Anan coming out of the tent. Xia Yu quickly got off her horse and stepped forward: "Manager Zhang, is your highness here?"
"Ah, military advisor?" Zhang Ananda was so shocked by the big bald head in front of him that he almost dropped his jaw. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a strange look on his face: "What's your hairstyle?"
"Don't worry about these details. Is Your Highness here?"
"Uh, yes."
When Xia Yu entered the account, she saw Li Shimin standing in front of the sand table, pondering, seeming to be thinking about something, holding a cup of hot and delicious tea soup in his hand.
"Your Highness." Xia Yu greeted him.
"The military advisor is here."
Li Shimin looked up with a smile. When he saw Xia Yula's extremely cool hairstyle, his eyes instantly went straight, and the teacup in his hand fell to pieces with a bang.
Xia Yu: "..." He sighed in his heart: The ancients were too impatient!
