The two Sui Marshals of the Southern Dynasty liked to order him around when they had nothing to do. They even threw all the hard work of late night duty to him. The only time he got angry was when his beautiful daughter came to visit. She was stopped by the Sui Marshals halfway and was dragged into the forest. The other Fengzi were also curious about how such a good-for-nothing could give birth to such a beautiful daughter. If she was unlucky enough to take after her father, she would be too big and she would never be able to get married. As for whether the Deputy Sui Marshal succeeded or failed, the outsiders could only guess. The Fengzi of the Southern Dynasty despised him and the Fengzi of the Northern Court hated him. The Fengzi of the Northern Court hated him. The Fengzi of the Northern Court also hated him. The Fengzi of the Southern Court looked down on him and the Fengzi of the Northern Court also hated him. The Fengzi of the Southern Court looked down on him and the Fengzi of the Northern Court also hated him. The Fengzi of the Southern Court looked down on him and the Fengzi of the Northern Court also hated him. The Fengzi of the Southern Court was the only one who could talk to the Fengzi of the Ladder Mountain. The new Fengzi was called Yuan Huai. In the Southern Court, Yuan had the surname Yi. It was also one of the few big surnames. However, no one thought that the son of such a big family would be willing to be a Fengzi who was destined to have no military achievements.
Yuan Huai was not on duty during the day. Since the Fengzi of the Fengzi stopped drinking outside the Fengzi, he had nowhere to go. He always stood in the dark inside the Fengzi Tower and looked outside. He did not get tired of it even after many years. Yuan Huai was a Fengzi with delicate features and a slim waist like a woman. Everyone in the Ladder Mountain knew that the Sui Marshal liked both men and women. They all wondered if this Fengzi of the Yuan Huai exchanged his butt for the Fengzi position. Although the Fengzi of the Fengzi was a job with no benefits and no future compared to the regular border army, it was still much more comfortable than many other jobs. At least, they would not starve and they would not fall behind in their monthly salary. Yuan Huai did not look at the Fengzi and asked, "How many Fengzi do you think there are in the Liyang Dynasty?"
The Fengzi of the Fengzi who was not old but had an old appearance said with a hoarse voice, "I'm not sure now. There should be twelve thousand in the past five to six years."
Yuan Huai touched the green headscarf on his head and asked curiously, "I heard from Marshal Sui that the Li Yang Dynasty's beacons would light a torch every day to announce their safety. Why don't we do the same? "
The old beacon master with a bitter expression said softly, "In order to pacify the Spring and Autumn Eight Kingdoms, we must rely on this Fire of Peace to send messages to Great Peace City."
Yuan Huai laughed and said, "That Emperor of Liyang must be tired. If he doesn't see the Taiping Fire one day, he won't be able to sleep. He'll have to summon the civil and military officials to the forbidden area."
Old Wind Beacon replied calmly, "Nothing is tiring."
The empress had personally decreed that the entire territory of Beimang would not report the fire of peace.
When it's not safe, I'll light up the smoke signal. Zhen will still give you peace.
How conceited!
Yuan Huai sighed and rubbed his face, which had become much darker and rougher after he became the son of a beacon. "The steps of the ancestral hall must be covered with moss."
Old Beacon remained silent.
Yuan Huai said to himself, "If we were at home, I'd like to catch some candlelight bugs and put them into a bag to make a firefly bag. Then I can study at night without the light."
He turned his head and joked, "Old Xiang, your daughter is so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting. Why don't you marry me?"
The old man gave a rare smile, but did not say whether it was good or not.
Yuan Huai stared and said, "Give me a definite answer, aren't you a man?"
Old Beacon shook his head.
Yuan Huai turned his head and muttered, "Petty!"
Yuan Huai was a rough person. He immediately asked, "Old Xiang, when do you think I can become Marshal Sui?"
Old Beacon stared at him for a while, then turned his head and said, "You? No way. "
Yuan Huai said anxiously, "Why can't I?"
Old Beacon said softly, "Being an official requires you to hide your abilities, like a woman's chest."
Yuan Huai was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "Oh, you know how to reason?"
Old Beacon said calmly, "As long as you're a man, you'll understand a few things, especially an old man like me."
Yuan Huai rolled his eyes and said, "Talking to you is boring."
A young beacon walked in and ordered the old man arrogantly, "Old Xiang, go with me to the market and bring a few jugs of wine. I'll owe you the wine money first."
Old Fengzi remained silent and was about to leave Fengsui to buy wine for his colleagues. As for the money that these Fengzi owed him, it would accumulate over time. Not to mention fifty taels of silver, thirty to forty taels of silver would definitely not run away. However, he was just a pile of mud that was used to being bullied by others. Yuan Huai couldn't stand it anymore, so he tried to smooth things over for old Xiang. Old Beacon glared at Yuan Huai angrily. Yuan Huai's palm-sized face, sharp chin, and soft skin made him look like a woman. His anger dissipated, but he also felt a fire burning in his lower abdomen. However, this Yuan Huai was most likely Marshal Sui's plaything, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous no matter how bold he was. However, it was good to have some fun. He said he was a good brother and was about to put his arm around Yuan Huai's shoulder, but Yuan Huai nimbly dodged him and slipped away. Fengzi, who was waiting for his death on the Ladder Mountain, was greatly disappointed. He glared at Yuan Zhou's buttocks and cursed himself inwardly for missing his wife so much that he went crazy. Then he turned around and looked at that wretched old bastard, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and walked out swaggeringly.
Feng Sui of the Ladder Mountain had two horses, one of them was given to Marshal Sui to ride to the military town of Maolong. The wine market was about twenty miles away, Yuan Huai told Feng Zi, who was guarding the horses, that he was going to treat all his brothers to a drink so he could ride down the mountain.
