"Che, what king of the mountain," the fat lady got up and pinched some pieces of minced meat on the wooden pier where she chopped the meat to give to the little tiger cubs, "their family is not working since his grandfather's generation."
"Big Brother Hao is full of martial arts, but he uses it to kill pigs, don't you think it's condescending?" Mu Hanzhang sat down on a wooden bench in the courtyard, took the meat and put it in his hand for the little tiger to eat.
The fat lady glanced at him and grumbled in anger, "That deadbeat listens to me on everything, but this one refuses to listen, I said I'd let him take the martial arts exam, but he just doesn't want to go, he just knows how to kill a pig, he's really no good!"
Mu Hanzhang heard gently hooked lips, this lady looks rude, but actually very fine heart, she has long known that they are here to persuade Hao Da Dao, let him come in to wash the tiger, in fact, is to persuade them to stop insisting on: "Sister-in-law really is a sensible person, just now the world has changed, Hao family ancestor even if the former general, but the great-grandfather has always been praised for it, but also did not Hao family designated as a rebel. And Hao big brother he was born in the Great Chen Dynasty, naturally is a citizen of the Chen Dynasty, so he can rely on his own skills to build a career."
The fat lady sniffed and looked down at the tiger cub eating, but did not answer.
The little tiger shook off its soaked fur, grubbing at the meat pieces to eat sweetly, but the teeth did not grow, biting and biting the empty place, only to change the direction and bite again.
Mu Hanzhang saw it eating happily so he didn't disturb it, he just spread out the cloth towel and let the sunlight onto the small body so that the fur could dry: "Sister-in-law is so diligent and thrifty, she is only a rich butcher after a lifetime of mixing. I don't know if sister-in-law has ever thought that if she has heirs in the future, will she still let them be butchers?"
The fat lady sniffed, couldn't help but start to get angry again: "This is something I scold him every day, even if he goes to be a constable, his children won't have an expectation in the future. This is good, give birth to a son also as a butcher, give birth to a daughter no one dares to marry!"
"Sister-in-law must also know our intentions, the king is a man who cherishes talent, and nowadays if a military general who is not from a worldly family wants to achieve something, following the king is the best." Mu Hanzhang took the well-fed tiger cub in her arms and rubbed his fur.
"Hoo ......" little tiger lying in Mu Han Zhang's arms, originally still some resistance, but when the soft slender hand stroked its fur over and over again, will gradually quiet down, not long after the fear of a day and night of the little tiger cub fell asleep.
Mu Hanzhang see the time is almost, some words say more than bad, then holding the arms of the fur ball rise, "This matter is not forced, really pity Hao big brother's talent, which deliberately came to a trip. Just marching on the way, can not be delayed, we will leave tomorrow, Hao big brother if you really do not want to, then also let it go." Finished, will be a piece of broken silver to the rattan chair, is to help clean the little tiger and those broken meat money, do not wait for the fat lady to say anything else, turn around and walk out.
When Jing Shao and the two of them left, the fat lady grabbed Hao Dabao by the ears and dragged him into the house.
"Ma'am, you say these are really reasonable, but this King Cheng is violent and temperamental, go to be his subordinate, at that time, once the battle for the Crown Prince is brought to the stage, there will only be one way to die." Hao Da Dao bitterly sat on the chair, today Jun Gongzi those words he also heard, born as a great Chen people, should serve the court that gave birth to their own, and the former dynasty is too far away from him, perhaps their own persistence all along is not necessarily the right. Heroes are useless, he himself these years is not not feel the bitterness, but the king is really not a good master.
"That's not the way to put it, I see that he treats that warlord very well and even buys him tigers. A lord who treats his subordinates like daughters-in-law, I think it's much better than those hypocritical literati!" This king came to the village under the mountain just for him, which shows his sincerity, besides, they will be leaving tomorrow, after this village there will be no more store, the fat lady is a bit anxious.
"Woohoo~" laying on the roof, the little tiger excitedly scratched at the sheets underneath him, Jing Shao pinched the restless furry mass up, "If you make any more trouble, I'll throw you down!"
The tiger struggled, twisted his head to bite, but the neck is too short, can not reach, only limbs swinging.
"Huh, it's a little kid!" Jing Shao stretched out a finger and poked the small tiger whip hidden in the white fluff on his abdomen.
"Yes?" Mu Hanzhang, who was resting on Jing Shao's arm, looked up to see and, unable to see clearly, reached down and put the little tiger in the gap between them.
"Ow~" the tiger cub, upset at being placed on his back, grabbed the covers and rolled over, flushing his butt at the two men who were pawing at him.
"Where do we send it?" Holding the long tail that wiggled around, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips with some reluctance, it was really uncharacteristic to bring a tiger cub that was of little use on a march, but there was some real reluctance to let it go.
Seeing his own princess's reluctance, Jing Shao, who had intended to buy it for him to play with, hooked his lips, "Kiss me and I'll let you keep it."
"Really?" Muhan Zhang turned his head to look at him.
Jing Shao nodded seriously, closed his eyes and pointed to his lips. Waiting for half a day, also did not see the people around him action, was about to open his eyes, slowly feel a hot breath is getting closer and closer, and then, a slightly cool, soft, fluffy thing touched the corner of his mouth. Suddenly opened his eyes, and met a pair of innocent amber eyes "Woohoo?". .
When he looked up, Mu Hanzhang, who was holding the little tiger, fell on top of him with a smile.
The next day, when Jing Shao went there again, the fat lady was chopping meat at the pork stall, with an extra horse beside her.
"You are here!" The fat lady saw the two, very happy, she has been afraid that they lost patience today straight away, wiped her hands on her apron, "I'll go call him!" After saying that, turned around and went into the house, then heard a burst of noise inside, after a long time, carrying the family heirloom hybrid knife Hao Dazhou was dragged out by his own lady.
Jing Shao busy walked forward and took hold of the rather reluctant Hao Dazhe: "Hao big brother is willing to come out to help me, the little king is really lucky to have three lifetimes!" The tone is sincere, but also does not lose the bravado of the martial arts general, let a person have a good feeling.
"The king praised, Hao mou is only painted with a body of brute force, really thanks to the king look up to." Hao Da Dao is a little uncomfortable, secretly this Cheng Wang is young, speak and do things but very calm and skillful, remembered that day in the butcher store with him alone to talk about the content, it is not possible to say that he really is a bright master. And follow him to mix for a period of time before saying it.
"I'll look for you in the army when I dish out this pork store," the fat lady waved the pig-killing knives in her hand at the three men mounted on their horses, "These two pig-killing knives of my old lady are also capable of fighting!"
To catch up with the detouring team as soon as possible on the return trip, Hao Dazhou took them on a mountain road through the Daxing Mountains to intercept the head of the team.
Jing Shao got Hao big knife this fierce general, the mood is very good, three feudal kings, the king of Huainan is the most difficult to deal with, the person strategy and mind are not lost him, even in some of the plotting means more than him, even if the Huainan army is not as large as the number of court army, but still repeatedly let him return in defeat. If there was not Hao Da Dao help, Huainan fiefdom is afraid of not a decade or eight years to fight down. Now in advance to get him, I think the time to hit the southwest and southeast of the two places, will be greatly shortened.
Hao Dabao glanced strangely at Mu Huanzhang, who was sitting in front of the king on the same horse as him in the same city, "Why doesn't the military master ride his own horse?"
"He's not good at horsemanship, and he usually rides in a carriage during his marches." Jing Shao explained.
Mu Hanzhang shouldered him with his elbow, he was very good at horsemanship, but Jing Shao never allowed him to ride by himself, always thinking he would fall off.
Hao Da Dao not quite agree with a glance at them, since the king has married his wife, but with the military division of this ambiguous behavior, really not good. So the eye for clean first in front of the road.
"This little tiger hasn't been named yet, what's a good name?" Seeing Hao Dazhou walking ahead, Mu Hanzhang relaxed his body and leaned against the chest of the person behind him, touching the little tiger cub that was pressed in his arms but kept leaping around trying to catch Little Black's mane.
"Called Little Yellow." Jing Shao freed a hand and flicked the fluffy round head.
"Woohoo!" The little tiger threw his head, dissatisfied and hugged Jing Shao's hand to gnaw vigorously, but the teeth did not grow, always stuck his finger between the two teeth, so anxious that the little guy whimpered.
"That name sounds like it's for a cat." Mu Hanzhang frowned.
"The livestock of the royal family are all small characters!" Jing Shao pointed with his chin at Xiao Hei, who was walking sullenly.
"Little ......," Mu Hanzhang swallowed the small spoon that reached his mouth, "little yellow, also."
With the trail to take a shortcut, in less than a day, the three of them crossed the Daxing Mountain, and after a short rest in the town beside the official road, they went straight after the army.
Back to the barracks, Mu Hanzhang was a little worried that Zhao Meng would reject Hao Dazhe, but Zhao Meng saw his Mixed Sword, and pulled to have a test. Jing Shao gave him a reassuring look, the so-called people with the type of gathering, these big and thick men in fact the most easy to get along with, just a game or a pot of wine, will soon be able to call brothers and sisters.
The two were soon gesticulating in the open space in front of the tent, drawing many people to stop and watch.
The Right Guard, who was watching from the sidelines, saw the little yellow furry head in the arms of the Warlord and came over with gusto: "Warlord, what's this?"
"Wha-woo?" The little tiger that was sleeping and whirring was woken up, opening a pair of big hazel eyes to look at him, his round furry ears flopped over in sleep, rather comical.
"Yo! Tiger cub!" The Right Guardian cried out in surprise, as he carried the tiger cub over and held it up in front of him for a closer look.
"Ow ~" the little tiger recognizes life, struggling, but the tiger is small no strength, can not struggle, then raised a small hairy paw, according to the right guard handsome face is a claw.
"Aigoo!" The Right Guard was caught off guard and wailed in pain, subconsciously his hand let go and the little tiger cub fell towards the ground.
When it was too late, Mu Hanzhang was about to pick it up, when a shadow crossed, and the yellow fur ball had landed safely in Ge Ruoyi's arms.
