The Wife is First - 49 Chapter 49 Return to camp
“Tch, what kind of king of the mountain?” The fat lady stood up and pinched some minced meat on the meat chopping block for the little tiger cub to eat, “Their family has been in trouble since his grandfather’s generation.
“Brother Hao is very skilled in martial arts, but he uses it to kill pigs. Don’t you think it’s an underachievement?” Mu Hanzhang sat down on a wooden bench in the yard, took the piece of meat, put it in his hand and gave it to the little tiger.
The fat lady glanced at him and said angrily: “That damn ghost listens to everything I say, but he refuses to listen to this. I told him to take the martial arts exam, but he refused to go. He only knows how to kill pigs. It’s really No future!”
Mu Hanzhang slightly curled his lips when he heard this. This lady seemed rude, but in fact she was very considerate. She had long known that they were here to persuade Hao Dadao to come in and wash the tiger. In fact, she was trying to persuade them not to insist anymore: “Sister-in-law He is indeed a sensible person, but now times have changed. Even though the ancestor of the Hao family was a general of the previous dynasty, Taizu always praised him and did not label the Hao family as rebels. Moreover, Brother Hao was born in the Dachen Dynasty. Naturally, the people of the Chen Dynasty can make achievements based on their own abilities.”
When the fat lady heard this, she looked down at the little tiger eating, but didn’t answer.
The little tiger shook its soaked fur and ate the meat, which was extremely sweet. However, the teeth were not fully grown, so there would be empty spaces when biting, so he had to change the direction and bite again.
Mu Hanzhang saw that it was eating happily and did not disturb him. He just spread out the cloth to let the sun shine on the little body so that the fur could be dried: “Sister-in-law is so diligent and thrifty in running the house, and she will only be a rich person in her whole life. Butcher. I wonder if my sister-in-law has thought about it. If she has children in the future, will she still let them be butchers?”
When the fat lady heard this, she couldn’t help but became angry again: “I scold him every day for this. Even if he becomes a head catcher, there will be no hope for his children in the future. This is good. If you give birth to a son, you will be a butcher, and if you give birth to a daughter, no one will dare to marry him.” !”
“Sister-in-law must also know why we are here. The prince is a man who appreciates talents. If military generals who are not from aristocratic families want to succeed, it is best to follow the prince.” Mu Hanzhang held the full little tiger in his arms Give him a hair rub.
“Huh…” The little tiger lay in Mu Hanzhang’s arms. It was still a little resistant at first, but when the soft and slender hands stroked its fur over and over again, it gradually calmed down. After a while, the little tiger cub, which had been frightened all day and night, fell asleep. .
Mu Hanzhang saw that the time was almost there, and it would be bad to say too much, so he stood up holding the hair ball in his arms, “The prince did not force this matter. It is really a pity for Brother Hao’s talent, so he came here specially. It’s just a march. We are on the way and can’t delay. We have to leave tomorrow. If Brother Hao really doesn’t want to, then forget it.” After saying that, he put a piece of broken silver on the wicker chair as money to help clean the little tiger and the broken meat. No. Waiting for the fat lady to say anything else, she turned around and walked out.
After Jing Shao and the others left, the fat lady grabbed Hao Dadao’s ears and dragged him into the house.
“Madam, what you said is indeed reasonable, but this king is violent and moody. If you become his subordinate, once the battle for the crown prince comes to the table, there will be only a dead end.” Hao Dadao sat on the chair depressedly. , He also heard what Mr. Jun said today. As a citizen of Dachen, he should serve the court that gave birth to and support him. However, the previous court was too far away from him. Maybe his persistence was not necessarily right. There is no place for heroes, and he himself has not been depressed these years, but King Cheng is really not a good master.
“That’s not what you said. I think he treated that military advisor very well and even bought him tigers. I think a master who treats his subordinates as his wife is much better than those hypocritical scholars!” This prince did it for him alone. A trip to the village at the foot of the mountain shows their sincerity. Besides, they will leave tomorrow. After passing this village, there will be no such store. The fat lady is a little anxious.
“Wow~” Lying on the roof, the little tiger scratched excitedly on the sheets underneath him. Jing Shao pinched the restless hair ball: “I’ll throw you down if you make trouble again!”
The little tiger struggled and turned to bite, but its neck was too short and it couldn’t reach it, so it had to wave its limbs wildly.
“Hey, he’s a little boy!” Jing Shao stretched out a finger and poked the little tiger whip hidden in the white down on his abdomen.
“Really?” Mu Hanzhang, who was resting on Jing Shao’s arm, looked up. He couldn’t see clearly, so he reached out and put the little tiger in the gap between the two of them.
“Ouch~” The little tiger was very unhappy when he was laid on his back. He grabbed the quilt and turned over, pointing his butt at the two people who were groping him.
“Where should we send it?” Holding the long dangling tail, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips with some reluctance. It was outrageous to carry a useless tiger cub on the march, but he It’s really a bit sad to give up.
Seeing his princess’s reluctance, Jing Shao, who had originally planned to buy it for him to play with, curled his lips: “Kiss me and I’ll let you raise it.”
“Really?” Mu Hanzhang turned to look at him.
Jing Shao nodded seriously, closed his eyes and pointed at his lips. After waiting for a long time, no one around him made any move. Just when he was about to open his eyes, he slowly felt a warm breath getting closer and closer. Then, something cool, soft, and plush touched the corner of his mouth. . He opened his eyes suddenly and met a pair of innocent amber eyes, “Huh?”.
Looking up, Mu Hanzhang, who was holding the little tiger, laughed so much that he fell on him.
The next day, when Jing Shao went back, the fat lady was chopping meat at the pork stall, and there was a horse beside her.
“You’re here!” The fat lady was very happy to see the two of them. She had been afraid that they would lose their patience and leave today. She wiped her hands on her apron, “I’ll call him!” After saying that, she turned around and entered the house. There was a commotion inside, and after a long time, Hao Dadao, who was carrying the family’s Hunyuan knife, was pulled out by his wife.
Jing Shao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the reluctant Hao Dadao: “Brother Hao is willing to come out to help me, Xiao Wang is really lucky!” His tone was sincere, yet without losing the heroism of a military general, which made people feel good.
“Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Hao is just a man of brute force. It’s a shame that Your Majesty can respect him so much.” Hao Dashao felt a little uncomfortable and secretly thought that this Cheng Wang was young but was very calm and capable in speaking and doing things. He remembered that day in the butcher shop. From the detailed discussions with him alone, it is impossible to say that he is really an enlightened person. Let’s hang out with him for a while.
“I’ll go find you in the army after I get rid of this pork shop.” The fat lady waved the butcher’s knife in her hand at the three people on horseback. “I can fight with these two butcher’s knives!”
On the way back, they had to catch up with the detoured team as soon as possible, so Hao Dadao took them on the mountain path through Dahang Mountain to intercept the head of the team.
Jing Shao was in a very good mood after getting the powerful general Hao Dadao. Among the three vassal kings, King Huainan was the most difficult to deal with. That man was not inferior to him in strategy and scheming, and even surpassed him in some conspiracy methods. Even though the Huainan army was not as numerous as the imperial army, it still failed him many times. If it hadn’t been for Hao Dadao’s help back then, the Huainan fiefdom would probably not have been conquered within ten or eight years. Now that he is obtained in advance, the time to attack the southwest and southeast will be greatly shortened.
Hao Dadao looked at Mu Hanzhang, who was sitting in front of the prince and riding a horse with him, strangely: “Why doesn’t the military advisor ride the horse himself?”
“He is not good at equestrian skills. He usually rides in a carriage during the march.” Jing Shao explained.
Mu Hanzhang carried him with his elbow. He was a good equestrian, but Jing Shao never allowed him to ride a horse by himself, always feeling that he would fall off.
Hao Dadao glanced at them disapprovingly. Since the prince had already married his wife, it was really not good for him to have such an ambiguous relationship with the military advisor. So those who are out of sight but out of sight go ahead to clear the way.
“This little tiger hasn’t been named yet, what should we call it?” Seeing Hao Dadao walking in front, Mu Hanzhang relaxed his body and leaned on the chest of the person behind him. He touched him and was held in his arms, but he kept running to catch it. Little tiger cub with black mane.
“Call Xiao Huang.” Jing Shao freed up a hand and flicked the fluffy round head.
“Wow!” The little tiger shook his head and hugged Jing Shao’s hand in dissatisfaction and gnawed hard. However, the teeth were not fully grown and he always got his fingers stuck between the two teeth, which made the little guy whine in anxiety.
“This name sounds like it was given to a cat.” Mu Hanzhang frowned.
“The animals in the palace are all juniors!” Jing Shao pointed with his chin at Xiao Hei, who was walking with his head down.
“Xiao…” Mu Hanzhang swallowed the small spoon that was at his mouth, “Xiao Huang, that’s fine.”
Taking a shortcut through the trail, the three of them crossed Dahang Mountain in less than a day, rested for a while in a small town next to the official road, and then chased the army.
Back at the military camp, Mu Hanzhang was a little worried that Zhao Meng and the others would reject Hao Dadao. Unexpectedly, Zhao Meng saw his Hunyuan Sword and started to compete with him. Jing Shao gave him a reassuring look. As the saying goes, these tough guys are actually the easiest to get along with. With just a meal of competition or a jar of strong wine, they can quickly become brothers.
The two soon started gesticulating in the open space in front of the camp, attracting many people to stop and watch.
You Hujun, who was watching the excitement on the side, saw the little yellow fur head in the arms of the military advisor and excitedly approached him: “Commander, what is this?”
“Huh?” The little tiger, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up and opened a pair of big hazy eyes to look at him. His round furry ears were turned over by sleep, which was quite funny.
“Yo! Tiger cub!” You Hujun exclaimed in surprise, picked up the little tiger, and held it in front of his face for a closer look.
“Ouch~” The little tiger recognized his fate and struggled endlessly. However, the little tiger had no strength and couldn’t break away, so he raised his small furry paw and hit the right guard’s handsome face with a paw.
“Ouch!” The right guard was caught off guard. He whined in pain. He subconsciously let go of his hand and the little tiger cub fell to the ground.
Soon after, Mu Hanzhang was about to pick it up when an afterimage passed by and the yellow fur ball had landed safely in Ge Ruoyi’s arms.
