A silent thought in my heart, for hundreds of years, isn’t that something from the previous dynasty?

Dad Hu turned his head and looked at me with a puzzled look, then smiled and said, "Madam, I'm afraid I can't see that people like me will also collect such good things!"

I waved my hand quickly and said, "No, the old man is hiding it, it's because I'm clumsy. But this armor looks very delicate. Could it be that the old man's ancestors are officials of the border?"

When Dad Hu heard this, he immediately laughed.

His laughter alarmed Aunt Hu who was repairing clothes for Miaoyan behind her. She looked up at us, and Dad Hu smiled and said, "Old woman, this lady said, our ancestors were officials of the border!"

When Aunt Hu heard this, she stopped the needle and thread in her hand, and laughed, saying, "Mrs. Her wife is a decent person, so you are decent." She said, turning to look at me and said, "Madam said this, it's really a compliment to him. If his ancestors could have such a high-ranking official, we old couple wouldn't have to live so hard."

Miaoyan looked up at me: "Mom, are the officials in the border areas very big? How--"

I was afraid that he would reveal our identity and quickly raised his hand to stop her, and then smiled and said, "It seems that I am really awkward."

Mr. Hu said, "Madam is really a compliment. However, the old man's skill in making irons is passed down from his ancestors. The old man's ancestors were just blacksmiths for several generations."

I looked at him with a little surprise, then looked at the extremely exquisite armor on the wooden frame behind him, and said, "How could the old man have such a good pair of armor?"

Dad Hu said: "This armor was indeed passed down from my ancestors, but not from theirs, but from our Hu family's savior."

"Savior?"

I blinked my eyes and felt that this was probably an interesting story, so I said, "Dad Hu would tell me?"

Dad Hu smiled and said, "Actually, this is not a rare thing. The old man, my ancestors, have been operating iron tools. Since Emperor Gaozu and Great-grandfather, they have often gone to do business near Yumen Pass. Back then, it was not as peaceful as it is now. I heard that wars often occur. The traits of the Eastern Chaga Division often come to invade the borders, and they don't rob anything else. The iron tools and salt are robbed by them. My ancestors are often robbed by them, so I hate these people from the Eastern Chaga Division. Speaking of which, it's a blessing that the court sent troops at that time. If there weren't troops stationed and guarded in Longxi, how could there be the current situation here?"

Longxi Army - I silently recited these three words in my heart.

I don’t have many opportunities to come to the northwest, but I also know that this place has indeed not been peaceful since ancient times. The vast Gobi grasslands have nurtured their fierce folk customs, but the lack of material has forced them to take plunder to obtain some necessities of life. Throughout the dynasties, what the Central Plains dynasty had to face was not only the threat from the victory over the Beijing side, but also the invasion from the northwest, but also the invasion of several dynasties in history. Therefore, Pei Yuanhao spent so much effort to let Tu Shuhan station in Longnan, northwest, in order to prevent the invasion of the cavalry of the Eastern Chaga tribe.

I also saw Nian Baoyuze’s battle with my own eyes.

However, compared to the past, the situation faced by Pei Yuanhao is much more complicated. In addition to the East Chaga tribe that is invading from time to time in the west, Wuwei in the north has also been occupied by the soldiers of Shengjing. The northwest area he ruled has been reduced a little, so Tu Shuhan's place is no longer Longxi, but Longnan.

But even so, everyone understands that Longxi has a special significance to the Central Plains.

Dad Hu said, "That time, my great-grandfather came out of seclusion with a large number of iron tools. Unexpectedly, he really met the cavalry of the Dongchaga tribe. Not only did he steal the things, he almost killed him."

I asked hurriedly, "What about it later?"

A little light appeared in Dad Hu's eyes. Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes and even so many years had passed, he still said with a respectful look: "Later, a soldier came."

"one?"

I was stunned for a moment. I thought there would be a team coming, but only one came. Dad Hu said, "That benefactor was originally patrolling, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing."

His eyes flashed, and his tone became excited: "But, although he was the only one, he was not afraid. Good guy, he killed the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon were gone. My great-grandfather, and my grandfather, and my father, it was like a god descending to earth."

My heart also raised to my throat and said, "What happened later?"

Mr. Hu said: "This benefactor wants to fight bloody battles, and the people from the Dongchaga tribe are really afraid of him, so they retreated one after another, but-"

When he said this, his face showed a look of regret and sadness.

"Because I was too seriously injured, this benefactor is also-"

“…”

My expression also became depressed.

It was said that it was a hundred years ago. Mr. Hu did not witness it with his own eyes, and he only heard what his grandfather said. But in just a few words, I really saw a soldier fighting bloody battles and fighting to protect the people.

I raised my head again and looked at the armor on the wooden rack. The red clothes inside were faintly bloody, and it seemed that I could see the tall and tall body of the bloody soldier who had fought back then.

I said, "So, you keep this set of armor?"

Dad Hu nodded and said, "Yes. He is the great benefactor of our Hu family. We must remember him for generations."

He said, showing an angry look: "It's just that my son is not good at doing well. He gambles outside every day and is addicted to medicine. He comes back from time to time and steals things to sell, and even puts his ideas on this armor. Humph, even if I die, he can't touch such things!"

As he said, Aunt Hu also showed a sad expression on her face and sighed heavily: "He has no choice. If he doesn't take some things to pay back the money, he may have to beat him."

Dad Hu said angrily: "Why do they beat him? It's because he lost money by gambling and he is not doing his job properly. If he is willing to work with me well, how could he have fallen to this point today?!"

"That's right, but he is our son after all!"

"Son, our Hu family does not have such unworthy descendants." Dad Hu cursed with his eyebrows upright and said angrily: "If he dares to come back and touch this armor, I will really think that I have never given birth to this son, treat him as a thief, and send him to the official court!"

Aunt Hu had nothing to say and just wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Only then did I figured it out, it turned out that's the case.
