Compared with Guannei, Xiling in mid-November began to enter the cold period.
The winter in Xiling is much longer than in the Guan. The weather will start to be cold in October. In November, you must wear a leather jacket, especially at night, the cold is very difficult for people from the east to Xiling. Adapt to the extreme cold weather here.
Fortunately, Yuwen's family has already purchased the winter clothes of the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp.
For so many years, Yuwen's family has never treated the White Tiger Camp badly, and has never lacked military uniforms throughout the year.
Although the White Tiger Camp has been organized as the Protector Army, the Xiling Protectorate really can’t produce thousands of winter uniforms for a while. Fortunately, Yuwen Chengling is quite sensible in this matter and will be ready. The winter clothes were sent to the Duhu Mansion and distributed to the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp.
After Su Changyu came here once, no one in the city came to Baihu Camp again, until the Duhu Mansion sent people over and ordered the Baihu Camp to send people to get the uniforms, Yuan Shangyu sent Qin Xiao with a dozen others. The cavalry went to the city to transport back their uniforms.
The news that the Yuwen family is about to move into the customs has not been publicized, but many people know that the Yuwen family has started to clean up their houses and fields.
This great change has not caused a huge wave in Xiling.
Black Feather General Su Shoumo and his guard Ye Crow entered Fenggan Mansion City. Although low-key, it has spread throughout Fenggan Mansion City and spread rapidly. People naturally remember General Black Feather 16 years ago. After repelling the past of the Wutuo people, the old people return, the people in the city are naturally happy, after all, in the eyes of the Xiling people, General Heiyu is the nemesis of the Wutuo people, as long as there are General Heiyu and Heiyu Nightcrows, Wutuo people Don't dare to have a covetous heart.
Sixteen years ago, the imperial court granted the Xiling family many privileges, once letting the Xiling family become the actual controller of Xiling, but on the bright side, the Xiling Protectorate still exists, and the captain's mansion of each county still exists. Even local officials at all levels are no different from 16 years ago, so in the eyes of the people of Xiling, Xiling has been a part of the Tang Dynasty for the past 16 years, and the people of Xiling are still the people of the Tang Dynasty.
They knew that the Xiling gate clans had great power in this land, but in the eyes of the people, it was only because they were the Marquis of Datang.
In the past 16 years, although Xiling suffered natural disasters and plagues and the people were suffering, the trade between Xiling and Wutuo slowly recovered. In recent years, it has become very prosperous. People even think that Wutuo people have not dared to give birth to the east. Thoughts.
When the White Wolf King is assassinated, the situation on Wu Tuo's side is undergoing drastic changes. Of course, all this is not something ordinary people can know.
General Black Feather came to Xiling, and many people thought that perhaps he was just returning to the old place to take a look. After all, the general's army was not mobilized. Even if it was mobilized, the imperial army was not uncommon.
But many families in Xiling knew how much this change had affected them.
The children of the aristocratic family no longer dared to show their teeth and claws in the streets and alleys, and even many children of the aristocratic family who were arrogant as the principal on weekdays were forced to stay at home.
The news of the Yuwen family’s migration and entry is naturally impossible to hide. The well-informed family family actually knows the clues. For this reason, they are even more worried. The Yuwen family has left, so the family family who stayed behind What kind of situation will you face?
They have not forgotten that it was not only the three big clans who sat watching the warriors of Xilingdu guarding the **** battle against the Wutuo people. The hundreds of powerful clans in Xiling were all out of the picture. The three big clans were just headed.
Already, now the Yuwen family is moving into the customs, will the remaining family be retaliated by the court?
For this reason, many family heads of many generations go to Yuwen's house to see Old Hou Ye almost every day, hoping that Old Houye can give advice to the big families. They don’t even know that Chang Yihou has left Fenggan Fucheng, so naturally he was also by Yuwen’s family. Of people turned away in a tactful manner.
When Qin Xiao brought people to the palace, the sky was still dark.
He wanted to invite these brothers to the restaurant to have a good meal, but he didn't know if he would violate the military law, and he didn't want to delay it. It was important to do business first, and he went straight to the Duhu Mansion. After the report, the soldiers from the Duhu Mansion came out and said: "The military uniforms are at the warehouse, and you come with me to collect them." Then he said to Qin Xiao: "Qin Qi School, the general has an order, let you go in." The last soldier led Qin Xiao to see General Hei Yu.
The Duhu Mansion is very magnificent. In name, it is the highest government office in Xiling. Before the Wutuo Rebellion, it belonged to the Duhu office and residence, and it was vast.
However, after the Tang army withdrew from Xiling, Xiling Duhu had no authority to levy Xiling taxes. The corresponding expenditures of Duhu had to be allocated from the Xiling family every year, and the Xiling family would naturally Various reasons to reduce the expenditure of the Metropolitan Government.
There are six Cao Cao under the Duhu Mansion. At the beginning, the six Cao Cao had their own errands. Now the Six Cao has moved into the Duhu Mansion. They are crowded in a courtyard west of the Duhu Mansion. To show the majesty of the celestial dynasty, the Duhu Mansion built was huge and spacious, with many courtyards. Although Liu Cao moved to the west courtyard, it was barely enough. After all, in order to reduce expenditure, Liu Cao also cut a lot of officials and left a few. Some people, half of them have been doing nothing in these years.
Qin Xiao followed the soldiers in the Duhu Mansion for a long time, marveling at the size of the Duhu Mansion, and finally came outside a compound. He saw two night crows guarding the front and left of the door. He knew this. It should be the residence of General Black Feather, and the only person in the world who can make the Night Crow as a guard is probably only General Black Feather.
Qin Xiao met General Heiyu once under the Heavenly Capital Peak that night, but the distance was quite far, and he didn’t see it very clearly. He was really excited when he thought that he would be able to see General Heiyu alone in the world by himself. .
"Two, this is the Qin Cavalry School." The soldier of the Duhu Mansion bowed his hands to the two night crows and said: "By the general's order, come and see you!"
The two night crows looked at Qin Xiao at the same time, and one said: "You are Qin Xiao?" It seems that Qin Xiao's name has been heard a long time ago.
The Black Feather Night Crows Qin Xiao knows are Su Changyu and the other Mencius Mo. They are not ordinary people. He admires the Black Feather Night Crows from his heart and immediately said: "Below is Qin Xiao."
"It turned out to be so young." A Ye Crow smiled and said, "You kid is very bold. Did you stand up for Mencius and assassinate that **** boy from the Zhen family?" He said to Qin Xiao in his tone. Quite a little cordial.
Qin Xiao thought that many people knew about this, and he smiled: "It was not bold, it was also impulsive at the time."
"If a young man is not impulsive, he is not a young man." Ye Ya smiled and said, "You are good boy." Pointing inward: "Hurry in, the general has ordered. If you arrive, directly Go in and see him, no need to report."
Qin Xiao bowed his hands to both of them respectfully, and then entered the yard.
This yard is very large. What's different from other places is that the yard is mixed with trees and densely shaded, but all the trees are as tall as a gun, piercing into the sky.
There are a few houses near the forest. Qin Xiao walked over slowly and saw a person carrying a small wooden bucket and a wooden scoop in the other hand. They were scooping water out of the bucket. It is a few newly planted saplings.
He wore a dark gray cotton robe, plain and simple, he was over fifty years old, but there was no sign of camel on his back. He seemed to have noticed Qin Xiao coming, the watering hand stopped for a moment, and looked up, Qin Xiao busy Step forward quickly, bow and salute: "Qin Xiao pays homage to the general!"
He did not expect that General Kuroba would be dressed like this, let alone watering the trees himself.
The general stood up and smiled and said: "You came just right, and you will water the rest. You just planted the new seedlings, you can't do it without water." Put down the wooden bucket and handed the wooden scoop over, Qin Xiao Busily stretched out his hand to take it, the general leaned on his waist, walked aside, and sat down on a large rock.
Qin Xiao watered carefully. The general watched and advised: "That sapling doesn't need to be watered. Next, don't face the roots of the tree too much and sprinkle it on the side." His tone was kind, like a The elders are teaching their children and grandchildren to do a very important thing.
"Now it is a sapling. Just take care of it. In a few years, it will stand tall like other trees." The general's voice was gentle: "Incorporate the soldiers in the camp into the guard army, what do they think? "
Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "They are all very happy, saying that they have the opportunity to serve the country and they must be loyal to the court."
"It's good to think like this." The general said: "Serving the country is of course important, but the important thing is the folks and elders in Xiling. They need to stand up for protection."
"Yes!"
The general raised his head and looked at the sky before he said, "Do you bring that jade pendant with you?"
"Jade pendant?" Qin Xiao was taken aback, turned his head, but immediately reacted, hurriedly put down the wooden scoop, took out the tiger-head jade pendant that Han Yunong had given him from his arms, went forward, and handed it to the general.
Mencius Mo is a night crow, so Han Yunong can almost conclude that he is also a night crow.
The general mentioned the jade pendant. Qin Xiao didn't respond at first, but instantly thought of the tiger-head jade pendant given to him by Han Yunong.
He kept this jade pendant with him.
The general did not take it, but said: "I have finished pouring the water."
Qin Xiao saw that the general did not accept it, so he could only re-harvest it. In the past, he continued to water the saplings, but listened to the general slowly saying: "When Han Yunong handed the jade pendant to you, he naturally didn't tell you the origin of this jade pendant. There are a total of 30 such jade pendants. They were made by the saint’s commander in the palace and used to reward the thirty black feather night crows who had attacked the king’s account. Avoid one capital crime."
Qin Xiao was taken aback. He knew that this jade pendant was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be a gift from the palace, and it would even avoid death.
"But I ask the saint to take back his death." The general picked up a leather bag on the side, opened the cork, took a sip from his head, wiped his mouth casually, and continued: "The night crow serves the country. Performing meritorious service is a matter of its own. What you eat is the food cultivated by the people and the taxes paid by the people. Naturally, you have to take the responsibility of protecting the land and protecting the people. There is no reason to avoid the death penalty. The ancients have said that the prince Breaking the law is the same crime as the common people. If Night Crow commits a capital crime, he must naturally be punished according to the law. You cannot break the laws of the empire just because you are a meritorious official."
