Chapter 1736: Zhang Yu Without Roots
"Mom, dad hasn't come yet!"
Fang Xing originally only occupied three rooms in Xinghe Castle, one for business affairs, one for kitchen, and one for bedroom.
Now that the whole family has come, Zhang Yu found a small courtyard, and now even the wing rooms are used, so he divides them into different places to live in.
After arriving at the new place, Wuyou felt refreshed for a while, and took his two older brothers to explore.
But when the sky gradually darkened, Wuyou became a little scared. She felt that the courtyard was a little gloomy. While Tudou and Pingan were helping to clean, she sat alone on the threshold of the gate, resting her chin on her hands, staring blankly at the direction of the gate.
Passers-by will stop and take a closer look when they see this pink and jade-carved little girl, some will smile, some will be curious...
A few brats came over to tease them a few times, but Wuyou didn't respond at all, and a smiling man was standing inside the door, eating jerky. Seeing that Wuyou refused to play together a few times, he whizzed away.
Wuyou snorted, she didn't want to play, she just wanted to wait, wait for that familiar figure to appear, then laughed and hugged herself, calling herself baby happily.
"Who are you……"
It was getting darker and darker, Wuyou refused Xiaodao's advice to let her in, and continued to wait until a woman came over with a girl in her arms.
The woman was holding a two or three-year-old girl in one hand, and a basket in her right hand. When she saw Wuyou, she asked Xiaodao: "Is this the girl from Uncle's family?"
Xiaodao smiled and said, "It's my eldest lady. Miss Tang, is this your daughter?"
Tang Sai'er still looked very young, she nodded, then put the girl down, squatted down and asked Wuyou: "But do you miss your father?"
Wuyou looked at the little girl and nodded.
Tang Sai'er said: "Don't think about it, uncle went out of the city to kill the enemy, it's almost time to come back."
The danger of fighting at night on the grassland is too great these days, and the Ming army must try their best to avoid this situation.
Worry-free shook his head, just looking over there with his chin resting.
"father!"
Wuyou stood up suddenly, and then ran forward.
Knife also heard the sound of horseshoes,
He walked quickly to Wuyou's side, listened carefully, and said, "It's the master!"
The sound of horseshoes gradually slowed down, and then Fang Xing appeared in sight.
"father!"
Fang Xing saw Wuyou stumbling towards him, he immediately reined in and dismounted, his movements were done in one go, and Zhang Yu and others behind him also applauded loudly.
Fang Xing stretched his arms and leaned over to meet him, then hugged Wuyou, and laughed loudly, "Does Wuyou miss your father?"
Wuyou hugged his neck and whispered: "Father, I miss you."
In an instant, the evil spirit and toughness on the battlefield disappeared. Fang Xing turned around with Wuyou in his arms and said, "Today's big victory has knocked down Pugu's arrogance. Let's all come together."
"good!"
Zhang Yu and others got off their horses one after another, and those who were interested went to change their clothes first.
Fang Xing went to the door with Wuyou in his arms, saw Tang Sai'er and asked, "How is your family?"
Tang Sai'er also hugged her daughter, and said, "Uncle, there's nothing for women to give away here, it's just dried wild meat that will be hunted after the end of the year."
"Okay, I accept it."
Fang Xing accepted it readily, and said: "After Xinghe City is completed, remember to buy a house for your family. It will get better and better in the future, and it will be expensive by then."
Tang Sai'er thanked her, and Fang Xing asked Xiaodao to bring some snacks prepared for Wuyou to her daughter.
"Take the kids when you have time."
Tang Sai'er agreed, and then took the burden and left without refusing.
This is a straightforward woman, without any scheming.
Seeing that she was wearing a neat padded jacket, Fang Xing knew that her family was doing well.
"Father, did you beat someone bad?"
Fang Xing was startled, then smiled and said: "Yes, Dad just beat the bad guys away, so they dare not come these days."
The father and daughter entered the small courtyard, and Zhang Shuhui had already brought people to wait.
"My husband has worked hard."
"Master, it's hard work."
"Master worked hard."
"Father, you have worked hard."
A series of words made Fang Xing feel uncomfortable. He said, "It's cold, let's all go in. Someone will come to eat later, Shuhui, you eat first, don't starve the children."
Fang Xing then asked Tudou and Ping An about their homework, and finally went to Mo Chou's place.
"Huanhuan."
Huanhuan was howling in his swaddling baby, and Nanny Chen was coaxing him. After taking it, Mo Chou was about to breastfeed, but she blushed and gave Fang Xing a look first.
Fang Xing wanted to stay, but Nanny Chen was there, so he could only smile dryly, give some instructions and then leave.
There are no conditions in the frontier area, and the Fang family did not bring Huaniang, just Xiaobai and Mother Qin were cooking.
There is no better dish than hot pot in this weather. Xiaobai and Mother Qin made a big pot of hot pot. There are more dishes than soup, which is what the servants eat.
When the conditions are not good, the servants will eat first, this is Fang Xing's rule.
So after Xiaodao and Fang Qi thanked Xiaobai and Mother Qin with a smile, they carried the big hot pot and left. The charcoal basin had already been burned there, the shelves were ready, and the wine and water were ready.
When he got to the side room, Fang Er turned it over with chopsticks, and saw that the bottom was full of meat slices.
"Seventh brother, a lot of meat."
Mr. Xin called people to sit down, poured wine, and then said: "There are often Tatars coming into the city here, everyone pay attention to protect Madam and Young Master. Pugu is defeated, and they are not prepared to attack Xinghe Fort, so today Safe night, drink."
There was a lively atmosphere on Jia Ding's side, Zhang Yu and others also came, sat down in the wing room, and then asked about the situation in the capital.
I have been in the frontier fortress for a long time, even though it is not very far from Beiping, but the news is still blocked.
Accompanied by Huang Zhong, he casually told some interesting things about the capital, which made Zhang Yu fascinated.
It didn't take long for Fang to wake up and come back, but he was still holding Wuyou.
"My girl is afraid when she is born, she likes to cling to me as a father so easily, she is flattered!"
Fang Xing sat down, Wang He handed over the small bench, Fang Xing put Wuyou on it, then looked at the steaming hot pot in front of him and said: "Today's battle broke the confidence of Pu Gu, congratulations! Pour the wine! "
There are no small wine glasses, but large bowls. Fumigated by the alcohol, Fang Xing glanced at Wuyou who was sitting next to him, and the little girl looked curiously at Wang He drinking.
"Pu Gu's troops in the battle today are only 10,000 people. It seems that this is his capital, but there are more people on Wu En's side. There are more than 20,000 people on both sides. Once the harassment starts, there will be no peace in Xinghe City. ah!"
After drinking slightly drunk, Zhang Yu expressed his worries.
He is the guard of Xinghe Fort, and the construction period of Xinghe City has been delayed so far. If Zhu Gaochi hadn't been in power, he would have suffered a lot.
"Don't worry, you guys are already very fast, didn't you rush to work?"
Fang Xing put down the big bowl, let out a sigh of alcohol, and said, "According to my calculations, your construction period is actually very fast. As for Pugu and Wu En, from tomorrow onwards, Jubaoshan guards will rotate, and they will go there twice a day. If you dare to come, then block it, and then the main force from Xinghebao will come to help. Remember, they are farther than us, and they will consume one more time when they come."
Xinghe City was on the edge of Xinghe Fort, if it wasn't for the fact that the enemy army had more than 20,000 people, Zhang Yu would try to fight them decisively before Fang woke up to help.
"Uncle, the other side of the Xuan Mansion is very cautious, there is no order from the Ministry of War to stay in the nest, otherwise..."
Zhang Yu was still full of complaints, Huang Zhong's face turned red, and he said, "That's because the enemy army is a guerrilla. If they are besieging the city, it will be a crime for Xuanfu not to come."
Lin Qun'an ate a large piece of fat, and said comfortably: "The Xuanfu sent out reinforcements. If they can't catch the enemy, how can they still squeeze in Xinghe Fort? So this is why His Majesty sent us here." ..
Xinghe Fort is too small to accommodate too many reinforcements, and if there are too many reinforcements, the luggage will be a problem, so the transportation line from Yehuling to Xinghe Fort has to be escorted by heavy troops along the way.
Therefore, the ancients did not easily mobilize troops because it was too costly to mobilize troops.
Zhang Yu bowed his hand to plead guilty, Fang Xing peeled a pear and gave it to Wuyou to hold and gnaw, and said flatly, "You don't have any roots in the Xuan Mansion, do you?"
Zhang Yu nodded, a little frustrated. If he had a foundation, where would he stay in Xinghebao for a long time? Even if he was promoted to be a command envoy, but outside the Great Wall, a command envoy is worthless!
Moreover, the risk here is very high. The former Harlei's defeated soldiers turned into horse bandits, often looting, which made Zhang Yu exhausted.
After Wu En came, he entered a state of anxiety again, fearing that one day he would be raided by the enemy.
Fang Xing's arrival made him have some doubts, not only did not feel at ease, but even more worried.
How can Fang Xing and Jubao Mountain Guard be used to reinforce Xinghe Castle? Even Suzaku Guard and Xuanwu Guard will do, or even five thousand cavalry will do. helpless.
He glanced at Fang Xing, and then at Wuyou who was leaning on Fang Xing and eating a pear, his heart was heavy.
They even brought their family members. Could it be that something happened in the capital that made Fang Xing feel uncomfortable...
