After the fairy disappeared

This is what worries He Lingchuan.

Sun Fuling took the snails into the water and washed them, then took out the scissors and cut off the tips of their tails one by one: "You have been worrying about them all day, so why not get rid of them early."

"That's what I meant." Initially, it was Fu Shanlie who led the Xiqian puppet army to fight guerrilla warfare against He Lingchuan, hoping to exhaust Yuheng City until the oil and lamps ran out. Now the situation has been reversed. It was He Lingchuan who used the dragging technique to fight against He Lingchuan. Fushan Lie's gangsters and minions have been wiped out, and I want to clear out the remaining evildoers in Yuheng City at the lowest price. Anyway, it's my time.

Both of them had good reasons for doing this, but now He Lingchuan decided to speed up.

There is a large bamboo forest nearby.

He Lingchuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and turned Master Sun into the dense bamboo forest.

The dazzling sunlight passes through the layers of leaves, leaving only a little mottled color.Master Sun was held in his arms, with his back pressed against the hard bamboo. As soon as his eyes caught the little bit of color, it was completely blocked by He Lingchuan.

This man was as thick and hard as a wall, and she could no longer push him away casually.

Then, he took the air from her mouth too.

This bright and refreshing spring suddenly became hot and sticky.

Sun Fuling's face was as red as the morning glow on the horizon, and she suddenly closed her eyes, as if even the light in the bamboo forest was dazzling.

He Lingchuan took advantage of the fact that she was dazed and dazed, and quietly picked her up and turned her around.

In his hands, she was no more than a blade of grass.

At this moment, Sun Fuling suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Go home." Why do they bother playing with a large group of children here?They should go home and play by themselves, "just so I have time in the afternoon."

Sun Fuling was startled: "No."

"Or do you just want to be here?" He Lingchuan winked at her, "Isn't this bad? There are a lot of kids outside. How about we do it ourselves another day?"

Sun Fuling spat at him: "Today is for spring outing and work!"

"There are other wives outside, and the children will not be lost. They can have their own fun, and they don't need you." Master Sun twisted in his arms a few times, and He Lingchuan immediately tightened his grip.

Good twist, give it a few more twists!

She laughed and hit him on the shoulder: "Stop making trouble and put me down!"

At this moment, there was the sound of kicking footsteps outside. The steps were very fast and the steps were very short.

He Lingchuan and Master Sun both heard it.

This should be some child coming over.

"Little Fatty, Little Fatty is here." Sun Fuling wanted to push him away and walk out, but He Lingchuan seized the last chance and pushed her away from a thick bamboo clump to steal the incense again.

"Master Sun, Commander-in-Chief!" Xiaopang walked into the bamboo forest.

Just walking in from the sunshine, the bamboo forest was a bit dark. Xiaopang took a while to adapt before he dared to walk in.

Wow, it's so empty here. Doesn't it look like there's anyone here?

Erya said that Master Sun and the commander-in-chief entered the bamboo forest. Could it be that he was lying to him?
But the fish basket was left on the shore. It seems to belong to Master Sun?
The little fat man took courage, took another hundred steps forward, and called out twice more.

The bamboo four feet away suddenly rustled, making him tremble.But then, two figures came around from behind Maozhu, and the commander's voice came slowly:

"Little Fatty, what's wrong?"

Xiaopang took a closer look and saw that the Commander-in-Chief was walking towards him with a smile, while Master Sun was two steps behind.

"What are you doing?" he shouted for a long time, but neither the commander nor the master responded.

He Lingchuan stretched out his hand and handed him a few dark, muddy things:
"I dug some bamboo shoots to make soup."

The ground is not as fresh as bamboo shoots, and the river is not as fresh as fish.How can a spring picnic be without this delicious food?
"We threw bait four times, but it seems we can't catch any fish!" Xiaopang carefully picked up the bamboo shoots and forgot all about his complaints. "Also, Master Liu and the others came back and picked up a lot of fungi. Fortunately, fortunately we There are a lot of fish in the basket."

Sun Fuling stepped forward and led Xiaopang towards the stream: "Okay, let's go back and cook."

She brushed her hair away from her temples and glared at He Lingchuan.

Unspoken.

After leaving the bamboo forest, the noise was loud.

He Lingchuan saw about fifty figures half a man tall by the stream and couldn't help but press his eyebrows.

More than 50 mythical beasts, wow.

The other two masters led the army of picking wild vegetables back, and now the adults were busy processing the delicacies picked by the children.

It's just wild vegetables, there are a lot of poisonous mushrooms mixed in with the fungus.

The masters found the toadstools, explained the dangers and identification methods, and then circulated them to the children.

Educational fun is one of the purposes of spring outings.

Taking advantage of this time, the kitchen workers of Yuheng Academy began to pack fresh seafood and prepare vegetables for soup.

The children caught a lot of small white strips using the temporary low embankment. After scraping the scales and washing them, they were wrapped in batter and ready to be put into the frying pan.

There were also several large fish, which were fried and cooked together with clams, sweet bamboo shoots and mushrooms. The resulting soup was milky white and fragrant.

As for the shrimps and crabs, they were put into the pot and simmered with mustard greens.

The cooks didn't expect the children to gain so much. They had prepared a lot of ingredients for hot dishes, but they were very busy at this time.He Lingchuan did not dare to join the group of children. It happened that the two masters had just caught four or five bamboo rats, so he simply took out his dagger and went to kill them.

The commander-in-chief of Yuheng City personally helped them, and the kitchen workers all nodded and bowed to him and were polite.

Only one person stared directly at him while washing the fish.The other kitchen workers poked her arm and whispered: "Wang Ma, don't stare at the Commander-in-Chief like that, it's rude!"

It's okay if people don't remind me. As soon as these words came out, Wang Ma dropped the bucket and came over.Her companion tried to grab her, but she threw him away.

Then, she stood in front of He Lingchuan: "Commander He!"

She was less than fifty, very thin, and her body was already a bit hunched, and she was not much taller when standing than when He Lingchuan was sitting.

"Mother Wang?"

Wang Ma was stunned for a moment when he revealed her identity.She didn't know that He Lingchuan had very good ears and could listen closely to the discussions of the kitchen workers.

But she calmed down and swallowed: "Can I ask you something?"

He Lingchuan saw that she mustered up the courage to come over, so he said gently: "Please tell me."

"How long do you want to wait before you take Takikawa down?"

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Why does Wang Ma ask this?"

"My eldest son was a city army patrolman, but he was ambushed by water bandits on the Longchuan Commercial Road last year and disappeared." Wang Ma's face was rough and she looked expressionless, "Later, you recruited the Longchuan water bandits and gave them a lot of money."

These two sentences together represent dissatisfaction.He Lingchuan stood up immediately: "That's called road tax. When they collect it, they also have to maintain security on the trade routes. Yuheng City recruits them because they don't want to have unnecessary battles and don't want more good soldiers to die in the battle to suppress bandits."

After years of fighting, the people of Panlong City and Yuheng City paid a huge price.

In the words of General Nan Ke, who doesn’t have warriors who died in battle?
Wang Ma didn't understand this very well, but she knew: "I heard that there are no obstacles in Longchuan. Why don't you take down the puppet troops quickly?"

There is emotion in this sentence.

"There are no obstacles in Takikawa? Who did you listen to?"

"This..." Wang Ma was stuck, "It's been said in the city! They say we can capture the water bandits a long time ago."

He Lingchuan smiled: "Find the person who said this and let's confront him face to face. I really want to know what kind of strategic plan he has to make such a prediction."

Of course, Wang Ma couldn't find this person. She decided not to argue with He Lingchuan about this, and returned to the original point of the question: "Then when are you going to attack Longchuan?"

"Why is Queen Mother so anxious?"

"My eldest son was killed by the Xiqiao puppet army. Now my younger son is clamoring all day long to join the army and avenge his brother." Wang Ma said with a long face, "I don't want him to join the army anymore! I just want to ask the commander-in-chief, When will the murderer of my son be made to pay the price?"

"The puppet army is the biggest obstacle. There are several forces behind them, each of which is more powerful than Yuheng City. Without the puppet army, Longchuan would have been captured by us last year." He Lingchuan said kindly, "Deal with them , I would rather spend more time and money, and I hope to sacrifice less lives. Every patrol soldier is precious to Yuheng City. Isn’t there an old saying in Yuheng City, I would rather die with money , and don’t want people to die.”

To treat a commoner like Wang Ma, he can't talk about strategies or policies, it's too macroscopic.He could only lower his perspective and say something she could best understand.

These last two sentences made Wang Ma speechless for a moment.

She was still confused, but she didn't know what to say.

The kitchen worker at the back stepped forward and dragged her back: "I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief, she just wants to talk nonsense."

He Lingchuan said seriously: "Wang Ma, there is no need to worry, your son's revenge will be avenged soon."

Wang Ma didn't say a word and left with the others.

While others were still wondering how fast "quick" was, the commander had already grabbed the fat bamboo rat and chopped off its head with a knife.

In the past six months, the voices of dissatisfaction with him in Yuheng City have become louder and louder, saying that he uses people's money to support water bandits, and that he is slowing down work and sacrificing performance.

He Lingchuan's method of controlling the banditry in Longchuan is that it takes a long time and is slow to produce results, but the sequelae and losses are small. The power of the system must be used to squeeze the Xiliang puppet army out of Longchuan.

This kind of gentle method was rarely used in Panlong City in the past, and the military and civilians criticized it a lot.

The propaganda work was still not done well, He Lingchuan sighed to the sky.

However, it’s almost time to close the net.

He handed the slaughtered bamboo rats back to the kitchen workers and found that the fish from the stream had also been processed and were waiting to be cooked.The creek grouper he and Master Sun caught was also among them.

He was worried, so he went to pick out the rock grouper and saw that there were indeed seeds in his belly.

Fish roe is usually a good thing. The chef who washes and peels the fish will remove the guts and leave the fish roe behind.

"We can't keep this. The roe of the creek grouper is poisonous."

When Wang Ma heard this, she quickly came over and dug out six or seven more stream groupers in the fish pile. Upon inspection, she found that half of them had seeds.

Remove the seeds quickly.

Soon after, the hot dishes were ready and served.

He Lingchuan worked for a long time and finally had food.

As soon as he squeezed to sit next to Master Sun and took a small fried fish and threw it into his mouth, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard not far away.

Another horse rides through the peach forest, stepping on the fallen flowers and heading straight to the stream.

This is how He Lingchuan came just now. Master Sun pointed at his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It seems that you have no time to spare in the afternoon."

The visitor was a messenger from the City Health Department. He Lingchuan knew that there was an urgent military situation as soon as he saw his posture.
