49Chapter 49 Return to Camp

"Tch, what kind of king of the mountain?" The fat lady stood up and pinched some minced meat on the meat chopping block for the little tiger cub to eat, "Their family has been in trouble since his grandfather's generation.

"Brother Hao is very skilled in martial arts, but he uses it to kill pigs. Don't you think it's an underachievement?" Mu Hanzhang sat down on a wooden bench in the yard, took the piece of meat, put it in his hand and gave it to the little tiger.

The fat lady glanced at him and said angrily: "That damn ghost listens to everything I say, but he refuses to listen to this. I told him to take the martial arts exam, but he refused to go. He only knows how to kill pigs. It's really No future!"

Mu Hanzhang slightly curled his lips when he heard this. This lady seemed rude, but in fact she was very considerate. She had long known that they were here to persuade Hao Dadao to come in and wash the tiger. In fact, she was trying to persuade them not to insist anymore: "Sister-in-law He is indeed a sensible person, but now times have changed. Even though the ancestor of the Hao family was a general of the previous dynasty, Taizu always praised him and did not label the Hao family as a rebel. Moreover, Brother Hao was born in the Dachen Dynasty. Naturally, the people of the Chen Dynasty can make achievements based on their own abilities."

When the fat lady heard this, she looked down at the little tiger eating, but didn't answer.

The little tiger shook its soaked fur and ate the meat, which was extremely sweet. However, the teeth were not fully grown, so there would be empty spaces when biting, so he had to change the direction and bite again.

Mu Hanzhang saw that it was eating happily and did not disturb him. He just spread out the cloth to let the sun shine on the little body so that the fur could be dried: "Sister-in-law is so diligent and thrifty in running the house, and she will only be a rich person in her whole life. Butcher. I wonder if my sister-in-law has ever thought about letting them be butchers if she has children in the future?"

When the fat lady heard this, she couldn't help but became angry again: "I scold him every day for this. Even if he becomes a head catcher, there will be no hope for his children in the future. This is good. If you give birth to a son, you will be a butcher, and if you give birth to a daughter, no one will dare to marry him." !”

"Sister-in-law must also know why we are here. The prince is a man who cherishes talents. If a general who is not from a noble family wants to succeed, it is best to follow the prince." Mu Hanzhang held the full little tiger in his arms Brush him.

"Huh..." The little tiger lay in Mu Hanzhang's arms. It was still a little resistant at first, but when the soft and slender hands stroked its fur over and over again, it gradually calmed down. After a while, the little tiger cub, which had been frightened all day and night, fell asleep. .

Mu Hanzhang saw that the time was almost there, and it would be bad to say too much, so he stood up holding the hair ball in his arms, "The prince did not force this matter. It is really a pity for Brother Hao's talent, so he came here specially. It's just a march. We are on the way, we can't delay, we will leave tomorrow, if Brother Hao really doesn't want to, then forget it." After saying that, he put a piece of broken silver on the wicker chair as money to help clean the little tiger and the broken meat. Waiting for the fat lady to say anything else, she turned around and walked out.

After Jing Shao and the others left, the fat lady grabbed Hao Dadao's ears and dragged him into the house.

"Madam, what you said is indeed reasonable, but this king is violent and moody. If you become his subordinate, once the battle for the crown prince comes to the table, there will be only a dead end." Hao Dadao sat on the chair depressedly. , He also heard what Mr. Jun said today. As a citizen of Dachen, he should serve the court that gave birth to and support him. However, the previous court was too far away from him. Maybe his persistence all the time was not necessarily right. There is no place for a hero, and he himself has not been depressed in these years, but King Cheng is really not a good master.

"That's not what you said. I think he treated that military advisor very well and even bought him tigers. I think a master who treats his subordinates as his wife is much better than those hypocritical scholars!" This prince did it for him alone. A trip to the village at the foot of the mountain shows their sincerity. Besides, they will leave tomorrow. After passing this village, there will be no such store. The fat lady is a little anxious.

"Wow~" Lying on the roof, the little tiger scratched excitedly on the sheets underneath him. Jing Shao pinched the restless hair ball: "I'll throw you down if you make trouble again!"

The little tiger struggled and turned to bite, but its neck was too short and it couldn't reach it, so it had to wave its limbs wildly.

"Hey, he's a little boy!" Jing Shao stretched out a finger and poked the little tiger whip hidden in the white down on his abdomen.

"Really?" Mu Hanzhang, who was resting on Jing Shao's arm, looked up. He couldn't see clearly, so he reached out and put the little tiger in the gap between the two of them.

"Ouch~" The little tiger was very unhappy when he was laid on his back. He grabbed the quilt and turned over, pointing his butt at the two people who were groping him.

"Where should we send it?" Holding the long dangling tail, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips with some reluctance. It was outrageous to carry a useless tiger cub on the march, but at the same time It's really a bit sad to give up.

Seeing his princess's reluctance, Jing Shao, who had originally planned to buy it for him to play with, curled his lips: "Kiss me and I'll let you raise it."

"Really?" Mu Hanzhang turned to look at him.

Jing Shao nodded seriously, closed his eyes and pointed at his lips. After waiting for a long time, no one around him made any move. Just when he was about to open his eyes, he slowly felt a warm breath getting closer and closer. Then, something cool, soft, and plush touched the corner of his mouth. . He opened his eyes suddenly and met a pair of innocent amber eyes, "Huh?".

Looking up, Mu Hanzhang, who was holding the little tiger, laughed so much that he fell on him.

The next day, when Jing Shao went back, the fat lady was chopping meat at the pork stall, and there was a horse beside her.

"You are here!" The fat lady was very happy to see the two of them. She had been afraid that they would lose their patience and leave today. She wiped her hands on her apron and said, "I'll go call him!" After saying that, she turned and went into the house. She heard a commotion inside. After a long time, Hao Dadao, who was carrying the family heirloom Hunyuan sword, was dragged out by his wife.

Jing Shao hurriedly stepped forward and embraced Hao Dadao, who was quite reluctant: "Brother Hao is willing to come out to help me. I am so lucky!" His tone was sincere, but he was still as bold as a general, which made people feel good about him.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Hao is just a brute force. It's a pity that Your Majesty thinks highly of me." Hao Dadao felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself that Cheng Wang was young, but he was very calm and capable in his words and deeds. Thinking of the content of the detailed discussion with him in the butcher shop that day, he might really be a wise leader. Let's follow him for a while.

"I'll go find you in the army after I sell this pork shop," the fat lady waved the butcher knife in her hand at the three people riding horses, "These two butcher knives of my mother can also be used in battle!"

On the way back, in order to catch up with the detour team as soon as possible, Hao Dadao took them through the mountain path through Daxing Mountain to intercept the team.

Jing Shao was in a very good mood after getting Hao Dadao, a fierce general. Among the three vassal kings, the Huainan King was the most difficult to deal with. That person's strategy and scheming were not inferior to him, and even better than him in some conspiracy methods. Even though the Huainan army was not as large as the court army, he still repeatedly made him return in defeat. If it weren't for Hao Dadao's help, it would take at least ten or eight years to conquer the Huainan fiefdom. Now that he has been obtained in advance, the time to fight the southwest and southeast will be greatly shortened.

Hao Dadao looked at Mu Hanzhang, who was sitting in front of the prince on the same horse as him, with a strange look: "Why doesn't the military advisor ride a horse himself?"

"He is not good at horse riding, and he usually rides a carriage during the march." Jing Shao explained.

Mu Hanzhang used his elbow to support him. He was good at horse riding, but Jing Shao never allowed him to ride a horse by himself, always thinking that he would fall off.

Hao Dadao looked at them disapprovingly. Since the prince had already married a legal wife, it was really not good for him to be so ambiguous with the military advisor. So he went ahead to clear the way.

"This little tiger hasn't been named yet, what should it be called?" Seeing Hao Dadao walking in front, Mu Hanzhang relaxed his body and leaned on the chest of the person behind him, and touched the little tiger cub who was pressed in his arms but kept jumping to catch the little black mane.

"Call it Xiao Huang." Jing Shao freed a hand and flicked the furry round head.

"Wow!" The little tiger shook his head, and held Jing Shao's hand in dissatisfaction and bit it hard. However, his teeth were not fully grown, so he always got his fingers stuck between two teeth, making the little guy whimper anxiously.

"This name sounds like it was given to a cat." Mu Hanzhang frowned.

"The livestock in the palace are all juniors!" Jing Shao pointed at Xiao Hei who was walking with his head down with his chin.

"Xiao..." Mu Hanzhang swallowed the small spoon that was at his mouth, "Xiao Huang, that's good too."

With the shortcut, the three of them passed through Daxing Mountain in less than a day. After a short rest in a small town beside the official road, they went straight after the army.

Back in the barracks, Mu Hanzhang was a little worried that Zhao Meng and the others would reject Hao Dadao. Who knew that Zhao Meng saw his Hunyuan Dao and pulled him to compete. Jing Shao gave him a reassuring look. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. These big and strong men are actually the easiest to get along with. With just a competition or a jar of strong liquor, they can quickly become brothers.

The two of them soon started to fight in the open space in front of the tent, attracting many people to stop and watch.

The Right Guard, who was watching the excitement, saw the yellow little hair in the arms of the military advisor and came over excitedly: "Military advisor, what is this?"

"Wow?" The little tiger who was sleeping soundly was awakened and opened his big hazy eyes to look at him. His round furry ears were turned over by his sleep, which was quite funny.

"Hey! Tiger cub!" The Right Guard shouted in surprise, hugged the little tiger and held it in front of him for a closer look.

"Ah~" The little tiger was shy and struggled, but he was too young to break free, so he raised his little furry claws and scratched the handsome face of the Right Guard.

"Ouch!" The Right Guard was caught off guard and cried out in pain. He subconsciously loosened his hand and the little tiger fell to the ground.

In a flash, when Mu Hanzhang was about to catch it, a shadow passed by and the yellow ball of fur fell safely into Ge Ruoyi's arms.
