There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Taohua Temple.

Since Granny Gu passed away, Gu Jian has gradually become depressed. He doesn't talk every day, and he doesn't eat much food, so he makes Daohua and Xiao Yeyang anxious.

In order to make Gu Jian eat more, Daohua cooks food for him in different ways every day.

"Master is always immersed in the grief of his mother-in-law's death. If this continues, he will wear down his body. We have to find something for him to do to divert his attention."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Daohua pondered for a while: "I have an idea, but you have to work hard."

Xiao Yeyang: "Tell me about it."

Daohua: "Go to Master and let him teach you martial arts."

Xiao Yeyang, who had been instructed several times, looked at Daohua speechlessly: "You are asking me to find a fight."

Daohua smiled shyly: "I have to let Master vent the pain in his heart."

Xiao Yeyang hummed, although he disagreed on his face, he still went to Gu Jian for guidance.

Then Xiao Yeyang fell into dire straits.

On the first day, Xiao Yeyang was kicked several meters away by Gu Jian and landed heavily on the ground;

The next day, I was punched in the cheek, and my face was so swollen that I couldn't eat;

On the third day, my legs were beaten twice, and I walked with a limp for the next few days;

Fourth day.

In short, every day Xiao Yeyang was abused in a fancy way.

"Hey, take it easy!"

Xiao Yeyang was punched in the eye, and his eyes were so swollen that he squinted, and Daohua was carefully giving him medicine.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's injury, Daohua couldn't help but feel the pain for him, and the master was really cruel: "Be patient, it will be alright soon."

Xiao Yeyang snorted: "Uncle's shot is getting heavier and heavier."

Daohua smiled and made an excuse: "He's doing it for you too. Look, after being instructed for a while, is your reaction speed much more agile now than before?"

Xiao Yeyang did not deny this, his uncle was quick and tricky, and many of his moves were unexpected, but he learned a lot.

Daohua smiled and encouraged: "You have to make persistent efforts. Recently, Master Tian has not been as silent as before, and his appetite has returned to normal. It is all your credit."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows happily, but he would have pulled the wound with a smile, causing him to gasp in pain.

"I told you not to move around."

Daohua quickly gave him an ice pack.

At this moment, Defu walked in with a note in his hand.

When Daohua saw it, she couldn't help but say, "After entering March, why have you received more and more flying pigeon biography?"

Xiao Yeyang took the note and looked at it, his brows wrinkled after reading it.

Daohua: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang said with a sullen face: "The Eighth Kings have a dead soldier in their hands, who are specifically hunting border generals. On March 12, the head of a third-rank general was hung high on the city tower, causing the border guards to panic. of."

Daohua's brows twitched, and she was a little worried about her two older brothers. The opponents they faced at the border were such dead men.

Seeing her frown, Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand to soothe her: "Don't worry, Wen Tao and Wen Kai will be fine."

Daohua knew that worrying was useless, and she didn't want her emotions to affect others, so she smiled and said, "I will prepare more pills in the future, so I can send them to them next time."

In the next two days, Xiao Yeyang received several more messages from the border.

Seeing his heavy expression from time to time, Gu Jian couldn't help but ask, "The situation at the border is bad?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "After all, the Eight Kings have some foundation in Daxia. Before fleeing to the border, they transported a lot of money and food there. Before they were able to capture three cities in succession, it was because they were placed in each city. Hands-on."

"Now they plan to repeat the old trick and stretch their hands to other cities."

"Just a few days ago, a general received a letter for help and led the army to support. Who knows, the letter for help was sent by someone installed by the enemy, which directly led to the annihilation of the general's army."

"Because of suspicion, the major generals in the frontier fortresses can't trust each other anymore, and the Tartars are approaching again, which is very unfavorable for combat."

Gu Jian frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Xiao Yeyang squinted his eyes: "We have to dig out the hands of the Eight Kings in each city first, otherwise, everyone will be wary of each other, and the military will not be stable. Moreover, our combat information may also be leaked out. ."

Seeing Gu Jian worried, Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, the imperial uncle has already sent the commander of Jin Lingwei, and it won't be long before the people who come to the Eight Kings will be found out."

Gu Jian nodded silently.

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

The emperor looked blankly at the news from the border.

Chief Assistant Yang Chenghua and the left governor Wu Jingyi and the right governor He Guangyao of the five army governors all stood silently below.

The emperor glanced at Yang Chenghua, who was hesitant to speak: "What do you want to say?"

Yang Chenghua bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are many people who know Commander Xue. If he goes to the border, he will definitely make the people of the Eight Kings and One Party vigilant. It may not be easy to find out who has been installed."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he asked an irrelevant question: "What date is it today?"

An Gonggong replied: "March 23rd."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and in four days, it would be the mother's seventy-seven.

"I know about this, you go down."

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Yang Chenghua glanced at Wu Jingyi and He Guangyao, then bent over and stepped back.

After they left, the emperor was silent for a while, and called Wei Qi: "Send a message to Yeyang, let him go to the northern Xinjiang after March 29. Xue Xiangchen is in the light, he is in the dark, let them cooperate with each other, Be sure to wipe out all the henchmen of the old eighth.”

Wei Qi nodded and hurried to send a message.

On March 29, Gu Jian took Daohua and Xiao Yeyang to the tomb of Granny Gu to burn paper.

On the way back, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and asked, "Are you going to Northern Xinjiang?"

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua for a while and nodded, "Yeah."

Daohua bowed her head and said nothing, and only said after a long while, "Then I'll go back and prepare some more wound medicines and ginseng tonic pills for you."

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

After a while, Daohua asked again, "When the third and fourth brothers left, they both brought a hunting dog with them. Do you want to take one too?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll take the dog Xiaoyi."

Daohua frowned: "Dog Xiaoyi is too good to eat, so he can run wherever he can. Why don't you take Dog Xiao Er, and Dog Xiao San will also be able to run faster."

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "I just like Gou Xiaoyi, chubby and cute."

Daohua gave him a white look: "You are on an errand, not on a picnic."

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: "I only brought the primary one because I had to go out to do errands."

Daohua is too lazy to argue with him on this, so go with the little one.

After a while, Daohua asked again, "When are you leaving?"

Xiao Yeyang: ".Tomorrow."

Daohua was surprised: "In such a hurry?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "The border situation is getting more and more complicated, and it must be resolved sooner."

Daohua: "Did you tell Master?"

Xiao Yeyang: "I said, I told him when I received news from Uncle Huang."

Daohua looked at Gu Jian who was walking in front, and said with a face on his face: "You are gone, I can only distract Master's attention. I won't be beaten like you are bruised and bruised, right?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, "Are you sure you want to ask your uncle to teach martial arts?"

Daohua nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in my whip technique. With the footwork taught by Master, I may not be afraid of you in the future."

Xiao Yeyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why didn't he know that this guy was afraid of him?

After the three returned to Taohua Nunnery, Daohua got into the pharmacy and packed the pills and spices prepared during this period. Gu Jian called Xiao Yeyang to the yard and focused on his lack of martial arts.

After dinner, Daohua handed the packed package to Xiao Yeyang, and glanced at him: "You should rest early, you will be on your way tomorrow." After saying that, she turned to leave.

Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua: "Wait, I have something for you."

Daohua stood still and watched Xiao Yeyang come out of the room with a carved wooden box, and asked curiously, "What?"

Xiao Yeyang opened the box and took out a topaz sunflower hairpin.

Looking at the lifelikely carved hairpin, Daohua smiled: "Okay, why are you thinking of giving me a hairpin?"

Xiao Yeyang said with some regret: "I planned to give it to you when you got married, and then watched you use this to fix your hair. Now I'm going to the northern Xinjiang, and I don't know if I can rush back to attend your wedding ceremony. Give it to you."

As he said that, he inserted the topaz sunflower hairpin into the bun of Daohua, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "It looks good."

Daohua glanced at him sideways, reached out to take off the sunflower hairpin, and played with it.

Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand and embraced Daohua in his arms: "Remember, when you're up to the hairpin, you must use the hairpin I gave you to tie your hair."
