The Leisurely Countryside of the Farmer’s Daughter-in-law
Chapter 594: call for help

  Chapter 594 Help

  A military camp not far from Haozigou.

   "Head, Xiao Jiu sent someone to deliver a letter." Xiao Liu, with the guards sent to report the message, stood outside the tent and reported to Tan Anjun inside.

  In the tent, General Qin had no urgent military situation today, so he walked around the barracks casually, and then transferred to Tan Anjun.

  At this time, the two were discussing the winter military supplies for this winter. In the past two years, the large-scale continuous drought in Daying State caused the tax revenue to fail to come up, and the Ministry of Households had to allocate funds for disaster relief.

  There was a shortage of grain and grass at the border the year before last and last year, which caused the soldiers to not have enough to eat and wear in winter. Some old and weak soldiers survived the battle with the enemy on the battlefield, but they did not survive the hunger and cold in winter.

  This method of death is the greatest irony and insult to the soldiers, but the soldiers did not die on the battlefield shrouded in horse leather.

  This year, the national strength wants to recover some vitality, but I never thought that two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will encounter floods that have never happened in a century.

   Misfortunes never come singly!

   Tan Anjun listened to General Qin's nagging, but he didn't know how to respond to him, as if saying anything was futile.

   Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and the room was quiet.

  Xiao Liu's report woke up the two big men in the tent, one old and one young. Hearing that Xiao Jiu had sent someone to bring the news, Tan Anjun's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

  He shouted eagerly, "Let him in!"

  Xiao Liu opened the door curtain and entered with the guards.

   Tan Anjun looked at the guard in front of him with a familiar face, as if he saw him doing errands with Xiao Jiu when he went home last time, and saw that he was covered in sweat, his cheeks were flushed from the sun, and his lips were white and chapped, which shows that he came here in a hurry.

  Although he was anxious, he still held his temper and pushed the teacup in front of him to him, "Drink first, and talk slowly, what happened to Madam?"

  If Lan'er hadn't encountered any trouble, she wouldn't have sent someone to trouble him.

  General Qin watched Tan Anjun tap the handrail with his left finger, and knew that he was trying to suppress his inner urgency, and calmly comforted the guards. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes overflowed with interest.

   I am very curious about this Mrs. Tan who has never met before. What kind of woman can make their General Tan move their hearts?

  The guard thanked Lord Guo, drank a cup of tea in one gulp, and gave a general account of what happened to them along the way.

   "Madam asked me to take someone to Haozigou to meet him?" Tan Anjun confirmed again.

   "Yes! The sooner the better!"

   Tan Anjun nodded, expressing his understanding, it seems that his little wife is in big trouble!

  General Qin put down the teacup in his hand, caught a glimpse of the brat's questioning eyes, and said angrily, "What are you looking at! It's not Lao Tzu's wife who is in danger, so what's my business?"

   "Old General..." Tan Anjun stood up impatiently.

"What are you doing standing here dawdling? Aren't you afraid that your daughter-in-law will be kidnapped by the villains? Still waiting for the old man to order soldiers for you?" General Qin was almost furious at the boy's pitiful eyes, picked up The teacup on the table smashed over and shouted at him mercilessly: "Get out!"

  Is he a stubborn old man who doesn't know right from wrong and doesn't understand priorities?

   He is also angry!

   Isn't it just a few hundred people, say hello to him, and just take him out of the camp.

   Besides, let alone the identity of his wife, even if an ordinary caravan encounters a robber and asks him for help, it is impossible for him to refuse to save her!

   Tan Anjun looked at the teacup flying towards him, reached out to catch it, and looked at the old general gratefully, "Thank you, General!"

  He took Xiao Liu and the others out of the camp quickly, and handed the teacup to the guards standing guard by the roadside.
