Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Plague of Innocence

Xiahoudun went out on the expedition, taking the black martial armor given to him by Yuan Yun, but he left Xu Chu, an old man, who was now gnawing on buns in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Damn, he's already done twenty of them, and he doesn't even plan to stop.

"Uncle Xu Chu, is there a hole in your old stomach?"

Syllable! Yuan Yun had just started to speak, and he was slapped by Lao Xu.

After slapping Yuan Yun, Xu Chu exhaled comfortably, and then pointed to the outside of Yuan Yun's study and said, "That kid looks familiar, isn't it Guo Jiajun's son?" ā€

Yuan Yun looked at Xu Chu's eyes, and was suddenly happy, at this moment Guo Yi was being forced into the corner by Cao Jie who was holding a branch, and his face was full of horror, as if he had seen the living Hades.

"Guo Jiajun sent his son to me and asked me to teach him some arithmetic, and I have been here for a while." Yuan Yun replied casually, and began to enjoy the scene of Guo Yi being tortured by Cao Jie.

Xu Chu swallowed another bun, then patted his belly and said, "You gave Xiahou Lao'er a set of armor, why don't you see me too?" ā€

Yuan Yun frowned slightly, your Lao Xu has always been shirtless when he charges in battle, what did Lao Tzu do with your armor? Can you take it home as an artifact?

After sighing secretly, Yuan Yun said with a smile: "You are old and afraid of heat, and you don't wear armor." ā€

Xu Chu frowned, and said unhappily: "If Lao Tzu doesn't wear it, can't he wear it for my son?" ā€

Yuan Yun was stunned, and then he understood Xu Chu's intentions, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about it, Xu Yi and the three of them have their own black martial arts armor, which is still specially made, but it is not less to toss Pu Yuan, who is in charge." ā€

Xu Chu snorted, looking very satisfied, then stood up and continued: "What kind of family area do you make in the new city, you want to leave the best set for Lao Tzu, I heard Xu Yi say that this kind of house will be sold very expensive in the future, Lao Tzu is going to get a set of pensions, don't count the money with me, if you want to calculate it, go to Xu Yi, who wants him to be my son, anyway, Lao Tzu has no money." ā€

Yuan Yun was not surprised by Xu Chu's arrogance, and immediately nodded when he heard him say this: "This is easy to say, but everyone who lives in the new city must have some contribution to succeed, Uncle Xu Chu doesn't know if he can help a little?" ā€

Xu Chu smiled and said, "I know that your kid doesn't have so much to take advantage of Lao Tzu, let's say, what are the requirements?" ā€

Yuan Yun rubbed his hands, and then said with a smile: "Although there are Zheng Xuan and other people in my city who are helping, but the subordinate units have a lot less management, especially when the city is built, there is a need for some lower-level management, as small as the management of five or six people, as large as the team of twenty or thirty people, I really don't have a suitable candidate."

I heard that Uncle Xu Chu has a lot of retired soldiers, and they are all managed by some teams above the rate, this kind of person is better to send me here to make money at home, and I will definitely give them a reasonable remuneration. ā€

Xu Chu frowned slightly when he heard this, sighed in an instant, and said, "Xu Yi told you these things?" I'll just say that the little bastard turned his elbow out, these veterans in the family are the foundation of my old Xu family, you are a knowledgeable person, since this is the case, tell me, how many do you want? ā€

Yuan Yun looked flattering, hurriedly walked a few steps closer, and then replied with a smile: "How many you want." ā€

Syllable! A standard slap to the back of the head.

After Xu Chu finished slapping, he pointed to Yuan Yun's nose and said, "Do you want to hollow out the old Xu family?" And how much more to want, you say it again. ā€

After losing his temper, Xu Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then immediately stopped being angry, patted his stomach, and then smiled: "It's easy to say, I'll let them help you, I heard that Cao Angshizi is also recruiting such talents, but these veterans of my family have official positions?" ā€

Yuan Yun naturally knew what Xu Chu was thinking, there were no professional soldiers in this era, but there was a special existence, that is, the pro-soldiers who had been following the main general, these people basically had no land, and the family relied on men to follow the main general to go on the expedition, and then get the help of the main general's family to live, they were more like servants of the main general's family.

After these people were seriously injured or retired, they were basically turned into worships by the lord's home, but there are so many people like this, there are always those who the lord can't take care of, and now he is thirsty for talent, Xu Chu must be ready to send all these soldiers who are about to retire to the new city, so that they can solve their future food problems.

In Yuan Yun's view, these people are the early prototypes of professional soldiers, use these people as the foundation, and then gradually develop, then the so-called professional soldiers that he thought before can be formed faster, and if he doesn't take this shortcut, he will be a fool.

Xu Chu heard that these retired soldiers would have official positions in the new city, so he readily agreed, and the first batch was ready to send thirty, originally Xu Chu also felt that he was a little reluctant to send so many people who mixed rice, but he didn't expect Yuan Yun to look disdainful and scolded him for being stingy.

In the end, Xu Chu slapped Yuan Yun on the back of the head again, and then left the Yuan Mansion with a laugh, and now I heard a very good news, I went out every year, and the soldiers around me changed a lot, many of them were seriously injured and retreated, and now they all have a place to eat, and they don't have to pay for it themselves, so they are naturally very happy.

Seeing Xu Chu's bear-like body cross the door of the study, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth laughed unconsciously, because he saw that Guo Yi had already hugged his head in front of Cao Jie, and the Confucian shirt on his body was also torn a big hole, which was estimated to be Cao Jie's poisonous hand.

"Yuan Yun, save me, save me, why did you bring this kind of monster back, aren't you afraid that your yard will be burned by her?" Guo Yi shouted while running, and came straight to the windowsill of Yuan Yun's study.

Cao Jie was even more angry when he heard Guo Yi say this, so he stopped chasing after him, and then picked up a piece of mud and threw it over, but he missed a few points, and it was pasted on the face of Yuan Yun, who was watching the excitement, and everyone was unhappy at this time.

Each of them slapped their buttocks twice, and Yuan Yun also washed his face under Qing'er's service, and then pointed to the two people in front of him unhappily and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ā€

Cao Jie's mouth was fast, and he was the first to grab it: "Sister Qing'er complained to me, saying that this kid has to come to the backyard every day to peek at her, so I helped Sister Qing'er teach him a lesson." ā€

Yuan Yun immediately stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "The lesson is good, this kind of young disciple must be strangled in the cradle, otherwise when he grows up, hum, I don't know how many good family women will be harmed, don't you see that his father is so misbehaving?" ā€

Guo Yi touched his buttocks angrily, and then retorted unhappily: "This female monster instills some things in Sister Qing'er every day, and also said that Sister Qing'er has not had a round room with Yuan Yun for so long because she has no femininity, and yesterday I gave Sister Qing'er a set of spring palace pictures, I couldn't look at it and said a few words to her, but she immediately became popular, and chased me all over the yard." ā€

Well?! That's not right, right? Where did you get the spring palace picture at a young age? But thinking of Cao Jie's stallion Lao Tzu Cao Cao, Yuan Yun suddenly smiled bitterly.

"It's the other thing about you, you are not allowed to eat dinner today, so you can think about it in the house!"

Yuan Yun lost his temper, and in an instant, he sent away the two little demon kings in front of him, and then quickly went to Qing'er.

Now you have to quickly take back those spring palace pictures, how can you see these things for a big child, you must not have received them all in your study, the ancient spring palace pictures, only hear what it says, don't see its paintings, how can you see it today.

In the afternoon, the back house of the Yuan Mansion finally quieted down, because Cao Jie and Guo Yi were locked in the study by the visiting Cai Wenji, and they were teaching in the style of Cai Wenji.

At this time, Yuan Yun was much more relaxed, and he didn't have to stare at these two little demon kings, and the world became clear in an instant.

Cao Qinghe also came over today, so Yuan Yun took her to wander around the back house, although the two of them are very familiar with this courtyard, but it is very comfortable to walk in front of and behind the woman.

"Why are all the baffles erected outside the courtyard wall of this back house?" Cao Qinghe looked at the periphery of a courtyard wall, which was all blocked by layers of wooden planks, and suddenly had some doubts.

Yuan Yun's brows furrowed unconsciously, it's not your Lao Tzu Cao Cao's ghost idea, I have to start building the house after you get married now.

Lao Tzu was forced to be helpless, so he could only drive away all the people behind him, but these bastards actually opened their dilapidated house at a sky-high price, if it weren't for the generosity of this marquis, they would have ruined their troubled family long ago, and then occupied your house and took your mother...... Unlucky.

"Cao Sikong is afraid that you will be uncomfortable living in the future when you marry, so he instructed me to start building your future residence now.

No, I just bought the land back, and now it's under construction, but since it's the residence of Qinghe and Wenji, it's naturally tall, and you will definitely be happy when you come. After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he saw Cao Qinghe's cheeks flushed, no matter how you look at it, I don't think this kind of face is enough.

Cao Qinghe suppressed his shyness a little, and then said in a low voice: "There is no need to build such a big one, even if it is Yuan Lang's current house, Qinghe'er feels that it will be very comfortable to live in." ā€

Yuan Yun was very moved in his heart, Cao Qinghe seemed to be very good to himself from the beginning, you must know that when he Yuan Yun first came to Xudu, he was nothing but a wandering little child, with no identity and no status, but at that time, Cao Qinghe dared to lend himself 500 yuan of money without any guarantee, such a affectionate and righteous woman, what else to complain about after marrying a wife?

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun was bold and grabbed Cao Qinghe's jade hand at once, which immediately made the cheeks of the beautiful woman in front of him a little more delicate than the big red apple, but Cao Qinghe didn't get rid of it, just let Yuan Yun be light.

Weak and boneless, this is the first feeling, then it is cold as jade, and finally it becomes warm like fire.

Yuan Yun held this jade hand, and only felt that his heart was about to be melted, fortunately, this era advocates early love, otherwise his heart will definitely be full of guilt.

Holding Cao Qinghe's jade hand and walking a few more steps, Yuan Yun didn't know that evil spirit, he even wanted to go further, anyway, she was her own wife-to-be, and Lao Tzu wouldn't matter if she kissed it now, right?

After thinking about acting immediately, although Cao Qinghe was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, he still didn't dodge, but Yuan Yun, who was already calling the deer in his heart, could hear it.

"God, you're bullying Sister Qinghe again!" With Cao Jie's shout, Yuan Yunzhi was so frightened that he fell into a dog and gnawed on, how embarrassed he was.

Getting up angrily, Yuan Yuncai pointed to Cao Jie's little head and said, "If you don't listen to Sister Wen Ji's schoolwork, why are you running here?" ā€

Cao Jie took three steps and two steps to Cao Qinghe's side, and then dragged Cao Qinghe away from Yuan Yun's side, and then stuck out his tongue and said: "It's been class a long time ago, I had a preview before Sister Wen Ji taught, and naturally the answers are fluent, but I don't like some fools, I can't answer for a long time." ā€

After Cao Jie finished speaking, he glared viciously at Guo Yi, who was following behind her buttocks, Guo Yi was dejected at the moment, looking like he had lost the battle.

After hearing Cao Jie's sarcasm, Guo Yicai pursed his lips, kicked a stone with his little fat leg, and then said helplessly: "I patronized and admired the great beauty of Sister Wen Ji, but I forgot to endorse it, so I delayed some time." ā€

Syllable! Yuan Yun slapped Guo Yi on the back of the head, and saw Cao Jie gloating and laughing on the side, so he didn't hesitate to give her a slap.

Seeing that the two of them were honest, Yuan Yuncai said with a straight face: "Sister Wen Ji's homework is over, hurry back and do the homework I assigned, don't stay in the yard to play, otherwise see how I clean you up." ā€

Cao Jie immediately replied unhappily: "Hmph, I don't know who is going to be cleaned up, Sister Wen Ji is calling you over now, you just wait to be cleaned up." ā€

Guo Yi waited for Cao Jie to finish speaking, and then pretended to be very righteous, then jumped up and patted Yuan Yun's shoulder, and then said: "Brother, it's not that I don't help you, it's too sudden, and I was caught off guard, and you can take care of the rest yourself." ā€

Yuan Yun heard it inexplicably, did these two little demon kings cause any trouble again, and Cai Wenji counted it on his head? If that's the case, then it's a disaster.

After thinking about it, he sent the two villains away, and took Cao Qinghe to his study, and as soon as he entered the door, Yuan Yun almost shouted, now he just wanted to escape from this study quickly, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

I saw Cai Wenji sitting next to the desk, frowning tightly, and there was a picture of the Spring Palace on the desk, which was particularly gorgeously decorated, especially the pair of dogs and men on the cover, which were simply vividly drawn, as if they were living.
