Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Ye Shan thought it was the children who came back, and hurriedly opened the door, but there were five or six people standing outside the door, one of them was a middle-aged man, and the rest were old people.

Several of them were dressed in brocade gowns, with jade hair tied on their heads, they looked like ordinary people.

Ye Shan recognized two of them and regretted opening the door, but now he could only ask loudly: "Excuse me, what's the matter with everyone knocking on the door?"

The middle-aged man frowned, and replied, "Is the one sitting in the room Xinting Hou? Report quickly, I have something to say."

Before Ye Shan could speak again, Hou Ye, who was only separated by a screen, heard it long ago, and ordered: "Ye Shan, let them in!"

Ye Shan took two steps away, and those people came over one after another, bypassing the screen, and saw Lord Hou hugging a fat girl and feeding her snacks.

Hou Ye not only reached out to catch the crumbs, but also pulled the handkerchief to wipe the fat girl's mouth and feed her water. That loving father made everyone stunned.

Jiayin ate and drank enough, hugged her adoptive father's neck, nestled on his shoulders, and watched the play honestly.

The old lady was a little nervous and wanted to hug Jiayin, but Master Hou shook his head.

He pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around the good news, then looked at everyone, and asked unceremoniously: "What do you want from me?"

He didn't mean to ask anyone to sit down and drink tea at all, and the faces of the people who came were not good-looking. The middle-aged man immediately asked, "Master Ye, is this how you treat guests?"

Hou Ye raised his eyebrows: "An uninvited guest is not turned away because of the face of being an official in the same dynasty."

The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he wanted to say more, but Master Hou asked directly: "Marquis of Zhenbei, shouldn't you be running around on the riverside defense line, defending Jiangnan and Xindu, working day and night? Now, why are you here?" ?”

The middle-aged man who spoke just now was the Marquis of Zhenbei. Hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed and guilty, and replied dryly: "Today's Shangyuan Festival, can't this Marquis come back to rest for a day?"

One of the old men had no choice but to speak now, "Master Hou must have also heard that the battle by the river is tense, right?"

Master Hou shook his head and replied lightly: "I haven't heard of it. If the battle on the riverside is really serious, how can Zhenbei Hou have the heart to come back for the festival? Shouldn't he be on guard against barbarians crossing the river at all times?"

The old men were gagged, and the expression on Zhenbeihou's face was even more unclear.

One of the old men couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward to salute, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master Hou, when the family and the country are in danger, you really shouldn't be arrogant."

Lord Hou nodded, as if he felt that his words made sense, "Yes, it's true that you shouldn't act on your temper."

The eyes of the old men were full of surprises, and when they had to make persistent efforts, Master Hou spoke first.

"The Marquis also knows that I often use my emotions, so I plan to listen to the bosses in the future. The bosses have said before that the Jiangbei defense line is solid, and it really shouldn't be heavily guarded, which consumes national strength, let alone lead troops to defend against the enemy behind the defense line. In addition, real numbers are redundant.

"Even the Marquis' injury is self-inflicted. If he is not punished and demoted, it is already a kindness of the court. Therefore, I will go to the memorial tomorrow, disarm and return to the field, and stop pointing fingers at the Jiangbei defense line!"

The old people were slapped in the face, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to cry.

At first they thought that there was a natural danger to stick to it, and they gave up half of the country to the barbarians, and Jiangnan would be safe and sound.

However, Xintinghou strengthened Jiangbei's defense line again and again, constantly asking for more troops and replacement of ordnance, and the military food and military salary could not be delayed for a day.

He even led troops to search for the surviving people in Jiangbei all year round, and fought many battles with the barbarians. Whenever there were casualties, he would also give a sum of money as compensation.

They didn't think about it for a while, so they took turns to submit a memorial to sue the emperor.

As a result, before the emperor could express his opinion, Xintinghou was injured and retreated.

They were completely satisfied, and the military salaries, armaments, and rations began to shrink. As a result, the barbarians seemed to know the inside story, and started attacking the defense line like crazy years ago.

The pier was about to be unable to hold on any longer, and the idiot Zhenbeihou, who was talking a lot on weekdays, really confronted the barbarians, but was too frightened to go into battle!

Otherwise, they would not bite the bullet and admit their mistakes.

Jiayin saw the impatience in her adoptive father's expression, so she made a fuss.

"Look at the lantern, Fu Niu wants to look at the lantern!"

Sure enough, Master Hou got up immediately, coaxing in a warm voice, "Okay, Niuniu, I'll take you there."

While talking, he went to help the old lady again.

Zhenbeihou had been holding back his anger for a long time. Seeing that Jiayin and the old lady were dressed in the same clothes, he directly blamed him: "Whose child is this? There are no rules like this. Let's talk about family and country. There is no room for you to intervene in such a big matter!"

Jiayin is a child of two or three years old, what important family affairs and rules do he know?

This is clearly insinuating that Hou Ye does not distinguish between public and private, and does not take care of family and country affairs.

But before Master Hou could speak, the old lady went into a rage, "Who are you? Who gave you the right to scold my children! What does my children have to do with you? Spring hasn't come yet, and the grass hasn't been green yet , where did you come from, a talkative donkey!"

"Bold!" Zhenbeihou didn't expect an ordinary old lady to point at his nose and scold him, she was furious, "I am Zhenbeihou, a dignified official of the imperial court, how dare you insult me!"

The old lady poked her neck back without any fear, and scolded back: "What's wrong with you being the Marquis of Zhenbei? Our family is not your servants of the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, and we didn't eat your rice to live. Why should we listen to you scolding us?" My child! Besides, as the Marquis of Zhenbei, why don’t you play cruelly to the barbarians if you are so majestic? What kind of ability is it for a two-year-old child?!

"You dare to bully my granddaughter, tomorrow I will carry the coffin to sue the imperial court, I would rather kill myself in front of the palace gate, and let you suppress Beihou and make the whole Tianwu famous. Let the whole Tianwu have a look at that time, suppress Beihou pretends to be a grandson to the barbarians, but he is a master to the people of Tianwu!

"By bullying the weak and fearing the hard, a role model for the world!"

The old lady was willing to go all out, and said a series of thunderbolts, and Zhenbeihou's face turned purple when he scolded, and the old men were also dumbfounded.

No one expected that the old lady would be so powerful in battle!

Zhenbeihou was scolded so much that he wanted to do something, but he glanced at Xintinghou, but he didn't dare, so he could only say forcefully, "I don't want to know you as a shrew!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away, as if he saved the face he lost by doing so.

The old men were helpless, looked at each other, and hurriedly cupped their hands, and said goodbye in a disheartened manner.

The door closed, and finally returned to the previous calm.

Jiayin's big eyes were shining, she clapped her little hands, and applauded grandma vigorously, "Grandma is awesome, grandma is amazing!"

Hou Ye also laughed and said, "Auntie scolded you too well!"

However, the old lady's legs were weak, and she sat down on the stool, her hands trembling, and pulled at the skirt of Lord Hou's clothes, and she said in fear, "Master Hou, my aunt didn't cause you any trouble, right? Will the family be affected? That's true. Lord Hou, I was so angry just now, I couldn't hold back for a while..."

Master Hou was amused, and quickly comforted the old lady, "Auntie, have you forgotten that I am also Lord Hou, and the emperor is still my cousin! The Marquis of Zhenbei is just a showman, and he is no better than power means, so don't worry!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't have the energy to go down to play, so she said, "You take Fu Niu down to play, I'll just sit here and watch the scene."

"No, Fu Niu is with grandma." Jiayin hugged the old lady and acted like a baby, spitting honey in her heart.
