Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

The driver was bought in the market, and the horses were privately owned.

"How can you prove the source of the capital for this considerable sum of goods? Military orders are as firm as a mountain. No one can carry more than one tael of silver when leaving the city, and generals cannot carry more than fifty taels!"

Qin Xiuyuan explained the source of the two hundred taels and signed a guarantee. "I took forty-two taels of silver with me when I left the city. That's registered. Mr. Xie spent two hundred taels on my two hunting dogs. You can verify this in Yongzhou."

It was freezing cold, and the clerk from the garrison, acting in an arrogant and domineering manner, took the letter of guarantee and ordered the yamen runners to prepare to take the letter away along with the fully loaded carriage. Ah Zong snorted uneasily, and Qin Xiuyuan stood in front of the carriage to stop the yamen runners, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

……

Home was so near, yet so far away. The subordinates were eager to return, and they all said hello and goodbye to Qin Xiuyuan...

In the silence, a sound came from far away.

"Qin Xiuyuan!"

There was the sound of carriage wheels grinding snow. A gloved hand lifted the curtain, revealing a tightly wrapped little face. The first person to cry out in dissatisfaction was, "It's not finished yet!!!"

He wiped the snow from his forehead.

Tang Bo parked the carriage steadily in front of A Zong. The two familiar horses greeted each other, and the five dogs circled Wangshu's wheels, wagging their tails. Wangcai even jumped onto the carriage with his front legs.

Qin Xiuyuan hurried over and pulled down Wangcai, who hadn't taken a bath for many days. He didn't dare wait for anyone to get out of the car. He pulled the curtain in and briefly told her the situation through the curtain, and asked her to go back first.

"Shushu, it's too cold, go back quickly."

This is what a couple says when they meet.

"Your fur coat! Dry food! Hot water!" Wangshu stubbornly opened the airtight curtain that he had pulled tightly. "I want to take a look at what you bought for me."

Half a snowman, looking miserable and sad.

Wangshu lowered his head, unable to bear to look at him. Such a beautiful woman, such a miserable man...

Divert your attention to the "local specialties".

"So beautiful! This dried fish stewed with dried vegetables must be delicious. Qin Xiuyuan, don't you have a Yongzhou clerk in your camp? Ask him to come over and prove it!"

The clerk of the Garrison waited patiently for her to feel through everything. "Madam Qin, it's too late. I have the letter of guarantee from the Guard General, and I'm only temporarily detaining the item according to the law. If the Guard General is innocent, it will definitely be returned to its rightful owner."

The clerk is almost frozen!

The appreciation of the fine goods was interrupted. "Master Clerk, it has been three hours since I received the news that Qin Xiuyuan had entered the city. I heard that you have been inspecting the goods, weighing, inspecting, unloading, and emptying the carts one by one, and the drivers can go home. He is now the General of the Guards, right? He has been traveling non-stop to get here, and it has taken him several hours, and he hasn't even said it's too late! You have inspected the goods of a thousand carts, why don't you verify this one cart of personal belongings?"

Ji Wangshu glared at someone who was drinking water and continued to talk: "Qin Xiuyuan, are you mentally ill? You even wrote a letter of guarantee. Don't think you are powerful just because you are a general of the guard army. Hurry up and produce evidence to cooperate with the adults! Quickly send someone to get the clerk from Yongzhou. Where is the handover form? Doesn't it say anything about this truckload of goods? How did Yongzhou let you leave the city, and how did the Yaocheng city gate let you in?"

After saying this indignantly, he walked over and kicked him, "Hurry up! You're freezing!"

Qin Xiuyuan, who had just stepped on the carriage, didn't take the kick seriously. He walked slowly over to the clerk in his fur coat and apologized to him for his poor blood circulation. "Sir, please ask the Yongzhou clerk to look over the customs clearance handover form. Your work has been done to perfection for three hours. Let's finish this last small matter today. I'll wait for your reply in the carriage."

He got on the carriage after saying this. He almost forgot that he and the garrison commander were on the same level in terms of official rank.

Seeing him coming up, Wangshu handed him the cowhide bag and said, "Milk tea!"

I don’t know how long I have to wait, “You drink it.”

Wangshu pulled out the drawer on the stool and found five bulging cowhide bags, a pile of pork bones, and a bag of braised meat.

Qin Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Don't move in the car."

He took a bag of milk tea and two pieces of braised meat to the garrison and said, "My wife brought some dry food and milk tea. Please don't mind me, sir."

As he spoke, Qin Xiuyuan tilted his head back and drank a bag of milk himself. The steam rose up and the milk was fragrant. He then took out the braised meat and bones that Wangshu had brought and fed them to the five dogs. It was a whole bag of pork bones. The dogs, regardless of their size, chewed them with a crunch, which attracted Wangshu to lift the curtain to take a look.

The old clerk swallowed his dry throat, his stomach growling, but he didn't refuse.

"Qin Xiuyuan, why is this beautiful lady pregnant again?!!"

Tang Bo, who was sitting in the driver's seat with Qin Xiuyuan, said: "...Why does this sound like the wife complaining to her husband about another concubine getting pregnant again..."

"I tried to stop her, but failed." Qin Xiuyuan didn't want the beauty to get pregnant. The beauty was a beautiful dog who didn't like raising puppies.

"That shameless Wangcai! I'll go find that firewood seller and ask him to find a pig castrator to give Wangcai a treatment!" Wangshu was furious. He felt so sorry for the beautiful girl. The last time she had six puppies, she had been fed so much that she was pale and skinny, losing her hair every day, and her breasts were shaking all day long. She looked so ugly. Now she finally had shiny fur and plump, but her belly was bigger again!

"What the hell are you doing? What have you been looking at all the time?" When she was so angry, she would even kick the chickens passing by.

Qin Xiuyuan: ...I endured it silently and didn’t dare to talk back.

Tang Bo: ...

If she had been feigning anger just now, she was now truly furious. She was so angry that she got out of the car and gave two big bags to Wangcai, who was still thanking his master for the bone and shaking his tail and doing the reunion dance.

"Damn Wangcai, you stinky dog! You think your life is too long, so you do such a stupid thing!" He was so angry that he threw another big punch at Wangcai who continued to come forward after preparing himself mentally!

The general of the guards didn't dare to stop her from scolding and beating her. The extortionate old clerk had no time to wonder if she was making a veiled accusation, because the accompanying clerk from Yongzhou finally arrived when it was almost dark!

It was indeed registered in the book. The day after Xie Miao took the two dogs away, he sent his servants to deliver the silver. There was a note on the silver... The total price of purchasing the goods on this cart was indeed around two hundred and fifty taels.

After Qin Xiuyuan sent the people and goods back home, he rode his horse to the general's mansion and presented the border intelligence and the handwritten letter handed over by the governor.

The general took a look and found the evidence to be irrefutable. "The dog you raised is really powerful. I am tempted to take it away from you."

His recent achievements were largely due to the dogs' contributions. "Have the puppies been trained yet?"

Qin Xiuyuan didn't hide anything and reported everything in detail, mentioning, "The son of the Yongzhou governor was particularly interested in my puppies and bought two of them."

"Well, the garrison commander just came. He's a bit confused about the private car thing. But Xie Miao actually offered two hundred taels for dogs. Well, bring them all over to me. It seems that raising a group of command dogs like these in a unique way will be more effective with less effort."
