The family was crying with joy on the street.

Under great sorrow and joy, Tian was as soft as noodles, and it was difficult to even take steps. Xu Xuan held his wife, dragged the baby, and moved back to the home step by step. Seeing the tables and stools at home, tears flowed down again.

"I'm hungry, daddy" the childish voice of the youngest son sounded in his ears again.

Tian, ​​who was originally slumped on the chair, heard his son's voice and immediately stood up. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Xuan, "Didn't you bring some food back? There isn't anywhere else, there is always in the yamen."

Xu Xuan said embarrassedly: "I was so happy at that time. I could think so much about it? Besides, I just re-activated, so I borrowed food from the county magistrate. I can't speak up!"

Tian sighed, "Then I'll borrow it from my brother. There's always a little bit in his family."

"Don't go!" Xu Xuan said angrily: "When I was in trouble, they not only did not look at the relatives, but instead sarcastically. Now that I have crawled out, there is no need for them."

"That's my sister-in-law." Tian whispered: "Besides, now you can't buy food with money. If you don't borrow it, what else can you do?"

Xu Xuan sneered and said, "I'll borrow it now. I couldn't borrow it before, but I can definitely borrow it now. Besides, I heard from the people in the yamen that the first batch of grain will soon enter Chang'an in a few days. At that time, every household can buy it with households. As long as you live through these two days, it will be fine."

As he spoke, Xu Xuan walked out.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, there was a knock on the door outside.

When he opened the door, Xu Xuan looked at the man wearing Shence Army uniform outside in a little stunned.

"Brother He, why are you back?"

The person who came was He Cang, a neighbor from the same neighbor. Like Xu Xuan, he was also a member of the official service. Under the command of Wu Hou of the Shence Army, he was the captain of Zhiguo and did not go home often, so he was just a nodding friend with Xu Xuan.

"I just took a leave today and went home to check it out. I heard about your family." He Cang raised a small pocket in his hand: "I heard that there has been no smoke from your family since yesterday, so I brought you some food."

"Why are you so embarrassed? You don't have much food at home, right?" Xu Xuan said embarrassedly, but his hand reached out with a sincere heart and took the small bag. There was not much food, about two or three pounds, but for their family, it was indeed something urgently needed.

"Not many!" He Cang said frankly: "But I still have some tricks in the army and can get some."

Xu Xuan immediately understood.

He Cang’s so-called ability to get some is naturally because he drinks military blood.

"Brother He, come in and talk!" Xu Xuan gave in and asked He Cang to enter the house. As a constable, Xu Xuan is naturally a smart man, and knew that He Cang must have something to come to the door. Otherwise, the two of them would not have any friendship in the past, so why should they send precious food? Look at his brother-in-law, at this moment, isn't he just cleaning up the snow in front of the door?

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for.

"Make some porridge and press the children!" He handed the rice bag to Tian, ​​"Get some tea here, Brother He and I have something to say."

Seeing this small bag of grain, Tian's swollen eyes suddenly smiled into a crack. He nodded repeatedly, held the rice bag and went to the kitchen, and the two children followed closely.

"Brother He, sit down." After asking He Cang to sit down, Xu He went straight in: "Brother He, I don't know if there is anything that can make Brother He come to the door. I will tell you that I have official duties assigned by the county magistrate. I can't stay at home for a long time. If you have something to do, you might as well say it."

"Brother Xu is happy." He Cang smiled and said, "Then I will just say it. Brother He is the deputy captain of Chang'an County. I just heard that you have been promoted to the captain?"

Xu Xuan nodded.

"He wants to do an errand with Brother Xu next!" He Cang bowed.

Xu Xuan was stunned: "Brother He, are you not mistaken? You were the Captain Zhiguo in the Shence Army, so how could you condescend to come to Chang'an County to be a small captain?"

He Cang sighed, "I'm afraid this Zhiguo Captain will be unable to be the first to be a lieutenant."

"How do you say this?" Xu Xuan asked with interest.

"When I was in the Shence Army before the scriptures, I had a companion I knew, but many years ago, he was summoned to the Right Qianniu Guard." He Cang said.

"Right Qianniu Guard, then isn't he developed?" Xu Xuan's eyes lit up. The Right Qianniu Guard was formed by Li Ze in Chang'an, and later he followed Li Ze's wife Liu Ruyan to protect the emperor and killed him to Wuyi. At that time, as long as the Right Qianniu Guard could survive to this day, of course, be developed.

"It's developed, now it's the Zhenwu Captain." He Cang whispered.

"With this way, why should Brother He be far away?" Xu Xuan said in confusion.

He Cang shook his head: "Tang Jun is not very similar to us. From where he did, I learned some news. Although it was very vague, I heard that we may not be able to save our job. Perhaps because of the little bit of love back then, he hinted that I would make plans early."

Xu Xuan was shocked.

"You're going to be disbanded?"

"I'm afraid this is the case." He Cang said: "We just heard the news yesterday that General Wu Hou was transferred to Shandong to serve. This must be the first step for the court."

"Your army has more than 10,000 people, all of them are disbanded?" Xu Xuan asked in surprise.

"I don't know very well." He Cang said: "But these days, I have also looked at Tang Jun and said something disheartening. Compared with others, we are indeed far behind us. No wonder they look down on us. Those high-ranking officials will definitely arrange a way out. If we do this, we are afraid that we will receive some severance payment and pack it home."

Xu Xuan nodded.

He has also seen the rules of the Tang army these days.

Tens of thousands of troops entered Chang'an, but he had truly seen what Qiu was. Compared with the military discipline of the Shence Army to which He Cang and others belong, it was really one in the sky and one on the earth. Whenever you see more than three Tang troops on the street, you must be in rows and in line, and you will definitely not see the scattered guys.

He also saw the Tang army wearing black uniforms. He heard that these people were specializing in comprehending the military discipline of the Tang army. Once they were caught, they would be beaten at the least, and at the worst they would lose their minds.

"Brother Xu, you know that I have been in the army since I was sixteen. I have been working for more than ten years. I can't do anything except joining the army. If I really spend money on me this time, I don't know what to do. I can't just sit there. I heard that Brother Xu, you have been promoted, so I thought about taking a job with you. If I can't do anything else, I only have a lot of energy left. It's no problem to catch bandits and thieves."

Hearing this, Xu Xuan couldn't help but feel excited.

Isn’t the county magistrate Feng Ying just asked him to quickly reorganize the constable team? For this period of time, his constables have scattered, and Chen Jiu and his subordinates have had too many grudges back then, so I’m afraid they won’t be able to pass this time. The county magistrate is sure. If someone like He Cang joins in, it can indeed increase his strength. After all, he has been an officer for so many years, and has strength and martial arts. He is indeed holding hands against the thief.

However, such a soldier is hard to control.

He hesitated and said, "Brother He, to be honest, this is not a big deal. And there are indeed people in the yamen now, but now it is different from the past, and the rules have changed. The county magistrate just told me that every night we will go to learn training and learn rules again!"

There is no need to hit the drum hard, He Cang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. If I can find a position with you, I will be a conscientious constable in the future and will never dare to violate the rules or exceed the rules. I know that the Tang people's rules are strict."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know Chen Jiu?"

"Of course I know that he was visited by his past enemies for revenge."

"That person is an officer of the Tang Army." He Cang said: "The friend I met was to rescue the officer and accidentally ran into mine. After the officer beat Chen Jiu, he was arrested by their supervisor."

"The officer who beat people was arrested?"

He Cang nodded and said, "My friend had a good relationship with him. He was worried at that time. He just went to the city to find their general to plead with him. Judging from his tone, the officer who beat people would not only be beaten to the end, but also would have to be in danger of military service!"

Xu Xuan gasped. This seemed to him as a matter of course. How could it be so serious in Tang Jun?

"We are now learning the military rules of the Tang army, a thick book." He Cang smiled bitterly and said, "From this to that, like our Shence Army, we will definitely be cut off next. I will come to find a way in advance!"

Xu Xuan nodded: "After Brother He retreats, if there is no place to go, you can come to find me. We are still very welcome to those who are capable like Brother He now."

"That's true, thank you!" He Cang said happily: "After I went back, I applied to the superiors. I think in this situation, the superiors are afraid that we can find a way out."

He Cang stood up and said goodbye to Xu Xuan after finding a way out. He was going to rush back to apply for retirement. It can be seen that Xu Xuan is indeed a mess here, but he came too late, so he was afraid there would be no good place. Next, there will definitely be no shortage of people like him.

After seeing He Cang away, Xu Xuan hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, looked at his two sons who were still licking the bowl and said, "Don't wait for me tonight. I'll have official duties in the yamen. I'm afraid I'll come back very late. I'll make dinner and make a meal for the children to eat. Life will be better in the future."

Tian nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."
