Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Xu Yuan didn't quite understand what Shen Yichuan meant.

But Shen Yichuan didn't say much.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan didn't ask any more questions and left.

Still riding a donkey cart back.

Zhang Yue sat on the donkey cart, swaying with the donkey's progress, and asked, "Xu Yuan, did you make a lot of money this time?"

"Almost." Xu Yuan said vaguely, still thinking about other things in his mind.

Zhang Yue added: "After we go back today, I will give you all my money and you can save it."

"Hmm?" Xu Yuan came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My brain isn't working well, and I'm afraid I'll be cheated again next time."

Zhang Yue was a little unhappy. "If you hadn't come today, I'm afraid I would have already..."

Even if Zhang Yue didn't say the rest, Xu Yuan understood it.

She raised her head, looked at Zhang Yue, thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, from today on, you don't have to teach me martial arts at night."

"what?"

Zhang Yue was stunned, thinking that Xu Yuan was disgusted with him. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Xu Yuan say.

"I'll ask my father to teach you the art of war."

"This... I can't even concentrate on reading the book. How can I learn the art of war?" Zhang Yue scratched his head.

"No, but I have to learn it."

Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Yue and said in a deep voice, "Brother, if you can't learn it, I won't let you join the army."

Going to the martial arts gym to learn martial arts is to enable Zhang Yue to have the ability to protect himself on the battlefield.

She hoped that Zhang Yue could become a talented general, but the prerequisite for letting Zhang Yue join the army and make achievements was that Zhang Yue could stay alive.

But brute force alone is not enough for one person.

Zhang Yue still needs to learn more before she can feel at ease.

Hearing that Xu Yuan's words did not seem to be a joke, Zhang Yue said gently: "Okay, I will talk to my uncle about this tonight."

Rushing home at dusk.

Seeing Xu Yuan coming back, Zhang Qingyu smiled a lot more.

The whole family was eating together.

At the dinner table, Xu Yuan mentioned the matter of letting Zhang Yue and Xu Wenxian learn military tactics.

Xu Wenxian agreed after a little thought, but after dinner, he immediately called Xu Yuan outside.

In the desert, yellow sand is flying everywhere.

Xu Wenxian gathered his sleeves and asked, "Yuan'er, do you want Zhang Yue to join the army?"

Xu Yuan had not mentioned the matter of letting Zhang Yue join the army before, but when he talked about it tonight, Xu Wenxian knew that Xu Yuan had this idea.

Moreover, not only him, but several other people should have heard it.

There was no rebuttal because Xu Yuan had not directly said that he wanted Zhang Yue to join the army.

Hearing Xu Wenxian's words, Xu Yuan nodded.

She looked at Xu Wenxian, her face showing a steadiness that was inconsistent with her age.

"Father, in Sishui County, only those who hold military power have the right to speak."

"Then do you know how many dangers there are from joining the army to becoming a general? Your uncle and aunt only have one child, Yue'er."

Zhang Yue’s importance to the Zhang family is no less than Xu Yuan’s importance to him.

Many young men in Sishui County joined the army.

But they can go because they have many brothers and sisters in the family.

The Zhang family has only one son, Zhang Yue.

The reason why there is only one child is to help him and Zhang Qingyu.

If something really happened to Zhang Yue, Xu Wenxian would never be able to forgive himself in his life.

"I know, and my brother knows it too. But we can't let him live a predictable life just because he is the only child. My brother doesn't want to farm, he doesn't want to be a farmer all his life. Since he wants to do it, why not let him do it? Besides, there haven't been many wars between Tianqi and Geshu tribes."

The last sentence was Xu Yuan's wish to comfort Xu Wenxian.

There will be a war between Tianqi and Geshu tribes at the end of this year. She let Zhang Yue join the army because she saw this war coming.

Because, this is a shortcut.

But people cannot just take shortcuts, otherwise, if their virtue is not worthy of their position, they will be pulled down sooner or later.

Therefore, Zhang Yue still needs to learn other things.

The more the better.

"But how to go forward in the future is up to Yue'er to decide."

"I asked my brother, and he said that this is the path he wants to take."

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Wenxian and said, "We are his family. What we should do is not to stop him, but to support him. If he really has no ability, can't we persuade him to give up?"

Hearing this, Xu Wenxian sighed softly and said, "If Yue'er really wants to, I won't stop you."

Make a wish and say no more.

Seeing Xu Wenxian's sad eyes, Xu Yuan thought of something and asked tentatively, "Father, are you thinking of someone?"

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Xu Wenxian came back to his senses and asked, "Yuan'er, have I never told you about your uncles?"

Make a wish and nod.

In her previous life, Xu Wenxian only mentioned the Xu family’s unjust case to her when she went to Beijing.

Everything she knew afterwards was told to her by others.

But the Xu family is a taboo in the capital after all, and she only knows a few words about it.

"I have two older brothers and a sister, but unfortunately our family fell into poverty and was taken advantage of by thieves, leading to our current situation."

Xu Wenxian sat in a chair, looking at the endless desert in front of him, and his voice drifted away.

"Yue'er, he looks especially like my second brother, your second uncle."

Hearing Xu Wenxian's words, Xu Yuan felt a sudden pain in his heart.

She knew who Xu Wenxian was talking about.

The second son of the Xu family, Xu He.

"Everyone in the family is an educated person, except your second uncle, who likes to wield swords and guns. Although your father doesn't allow him to, he still practices secretly. When he was fifteen, he secretly joined the army. Everyone in the family thought something had happened to him, but unexpectedly, three years later..."

Before Xu Wenxian finished speaking, Zhang Yue poked his head out from behind him and asked anxiously, "What happened three years later?"

Three years later, the eighteen-year-old Xu He single-handedly defeated the Geshu tribe and recovered Hanzhou County.

On the day of the army's return, the people lined the streets, raising their arms and cheering. It was then that the world came to know that the young general in white at the border was actually the second son of the Xu family.

In the same year, Xu He was appointed Grand Marshal.

He became the youngest Grand Commandant in Tianqi's history.

Xu Yuan silently completed what Xu Wenxian didn't say.

She knew that Xu Wenxian would never say these words.

And Xuyuan guessed right.

Xu Wenxian laughed and said, "Three years later, he came back dejected and got beaten up. From then on, he gave up the idea of ​​joining the army."

Zhang Yue was originally full of enthusiasm, thinking that he would be able to hear the story of a great general, but he didn't expect that it was just this.

He couldn't help but say: "Uncle, you must be lying to me."

"On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Being alive is already a blessing from God. Not everyone can become a great general."

Xu Wenxian stood up, patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder, and said, "Yue'er, if you want to become a general, you still have a long way to go."

"I will definitely work hard."

"Uncle believes you, so let's talk about it today..."

The voices of the two people gradually faded away until nothing could be heard.

I made a wish silently and looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, my thoughts drifting away.

Outside the house, two men in black left quietly, as if they had never been there.
