Chapter 1076 Going to Huxi
In her hand, she still had the 200,000 taels of silver notes given to her by General Xu. Although this amount of money was not much and could not buy so much food, as long as the general had this intention, he would definitely not let them suffer a big loss in the future.
That evening, all these things were ready.
Zhou Guo asked a few of his personal soldiers to send them to the border without any souvenirs. "If the young general asks, just say that I heard that they returned victorious and I'm very happy. It just so happens that the fruits at home are ripe, so I'm sending them to them to try. If you wait a few days, the fruits will be out of season."
She had promised this before.
Several personal soldiers went to the border with large and small bags of things.
Zhou Guo didn't go anywhere at home.
The old man stood by and didn't move.
On the fourth day, several people came back, including Xu Sibei.
When Xu Sibei saw Zhou Guo, he started waving from a distance.
When the old man saw the smile on his face, he felt inexplicably relieved. The fact that he could still laugh proved that everything should be fine on the front line. If General Xu was really missing, how could this kid still laugh?
Zhou Guo also breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
He went up to her and asked, "Why are you back, little brother? Is everything going well at the border?"
Xu Sibei jumped off his horse and said, "It went smoothly. I came out this time to send someone to you. My elder brother sent the rest of the people to you. They are still lagging behind."
Zhou Guo was surprised and asked, "The remaining several thousand people have been sent here?"
Xu Sibei nodded.
There are so many people, we have to call someone to pick them up quickly.
She invited him into the house, and the old man couldn't help asking him about some matters at the border, such as yellow sheep and musk deer, which were all food. Xu Sibei was happy to answer.
Zhou Guo fell behind and told Er Pang, "Go to the escort agency and tell Lai Zi Tou to prepare to pick us up. Pack up all the food and lodging for tonight and take the remaining brothers who came out of the border to meet them thirty miles away."
Erpang left in a hurry.
She looked at the two figures walking into the house, and always felt that it was not so simple for the young man to come out, and she didn't know what he was going to do.
Here, when the bald-headed man received the letter, he jumped up and laughed happily, "Damn, they are finally here. So many people are heading south, and my place is empty. If they don't come, I won't have anyone to take orders. Let's go, call the brothers in the escort agency who can move to pick them up, and the rest of you prepare food so that they can have a good meal."
These food and accommodation had been prepared in advance in case they came down at any time.
The food is ready, so we just need to prepare more dishes. There are more than ten people in the kitchen of the escort agency, plus the logistics staff, so it should be enough.
Just stir-fry one dish.
As for the beddings, they will belong to them from now on and they can take them with them when they go south, so it won’t be a waste.
After Zhou Guo arranged everything here, he went to the kitchen and ordered some delicious food to be prepared in the evening. Crabs had to be served, and there had to be fruits for dessert after the meal. All the good things had to be prepared.
I fought for such a long time at the border and lost so much weight. I must have not eaten well or slept well and suffered a lot during this period.
After arranging these things, she went to the flower hall.
In the hall, two people were talking about yellow sheep.
Xu Sibei said: "I brought two of them with me this time, but we left in a hurry and fell behind. We will follow the main army tomorrow."
The old man was very happy, "Really? I haven't eaten yellow mutton for many years."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, why don't you keep these two for now and raise them on the pasture. When they give birth, you will have an endless supply of yellow sheep meat to eat."
The old man glanced at Xu Sibei, glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? There are plenty of yellow sheep at the border, why would you care about these two? Eat these two first, and when you're done, you can go to the border to catch more later."
We are all members of the Xu family, and we are all called Xu Anbei. If we can’t get those yellow sheep back, we will not live up to this name.
Zhou Guo laughed. Actually, she was just teasing him. The old man was so keen on food. He had been talking about a yellow sheep for so many years, and now that he had it, how could he resist?
Xu Sibei smiled and said, "Two are not enough now. I'll ask someone to send more when there's a chance later."
Looking at Zhou Guo, "I'll write to my eldest brother later and ask him to send you a few more."
Zhou Guo paused after hearing the words and asked, "You're not going back this time?"
Xu Si said, "I'm going to Huxi."
Huxi is the place where Xu Xiushan disappeared. Until now, no news has been sent back from the south. In any case, there is no news from Zhang Lian.
Zhou Guo's expression froze, "Is there any news from the south?"
Xu Sibei nodded and said solemnly: "The news of the general's disappearance is true. Not only the court can't find him, but even we don't know where he is. It seems that he disappeared in the vast mountains west of the lake with tens of thousands of troops.
The border is temporarily stable now. With my elder brother watching over me, I have nothing to worry about. This time I will lead tens of thousands of troops south to find him."
Zhou Guo frowned, "Hundreds of thousands of troops are in the south. Can your distant water put out the fire? Moreover, can you find them when you go there? If you can't find them, won't it be easy to get yourself into trouble?"
Xu Sibei said: "The army was divided into several groups heading for the capital, but they were blocked on the way. The only group that could return to save the lord was General Zhou's group, or they took a detour to get back. But before the general left, he also issued a military order to them that no matter what happened in the rear, they were not allowed to turn back!
If he dies, there are still countless Xu Xiushans, but if this opportunity is lost, I am afraid that many more people will die, and the people of the world don’t know when they can live a stable and good life. "
He couldn't go anywhere. As a son, he couldn't just stand by and watch his father die without doing anything.
When they came back from the war and saw the news, they felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Now that the border is stable, he will head south.
The old man secretly praised him, "Good boy, you can smile even with such a big thing in your mind, and you can even talk to him casually about how to eat yellow sheep in a delicious way. You are also a big shot, worthy of being the son of a great general."
Zhou Guo asked: "What do you need me to do? I'll go with you?"
Xu Sibei refused, "No, I'm enough for our family, you have to stay behind."
He looked at her and said solemnly: "This year's harvest is the top priority. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Guo winked at Dashu and said, "I understand. Nanhe will start harvesting winter wheat next month, and this year's grain will be shipped to the south. Since last year, I have shipped a lot of grain to the south. All the farms and shops of my Zhou family have grain in stock."
After a while, Dashu brought out a small box from the house.
She handed him the box.
"What?" Xu Sibei opened it curiously.
Zhou Guo said, "I prepared this for my uncle. He can use this sign to withdraw money and food from any of the Zhou family's businesses. When there was a shortage of food at the front line, this sign was returned to me. Now I give it to you, take it with you."
