Ling Qingyu's menstruation was very difficult this time, and her blood volume was so heavy that she was so dizzy that she couldn't get out of bed, so she slept in bed in a semi-conscious state.

Hua Zheng restrained his fellow apprentices to only move around on the first floor. He was very polite to Yan San these days, but he didn't know what happened upstairs. The faces of the guards were very bad, and the head of the Ling family It has never appeared before. Women will not be easy when encountering that kind of thing. Could it be that the head of the Ling family did something stupid because of shame? Then I thought, if he really did something stupid, I'm afraid Yan San would kill everyone on the ship instead of going to the kitchen so often.

Yan San changed the cloth under Ling Qingyu's body, and saw that the blood had soaked the entire cotton cloth, and Ling Qingyu's face became even more pale. He was sleeping on the bed, and felt a cramp in his heart. He cleaned it up silently, got up and walked over. outside the door.

Yan Qi, find the ghost doctor. Yan San leaned against the door and lowered his head.

Ying Thirteen and Shadow Ten disembarked in Suzhou ahead, but the ghost doctor's whereabouts are erratic, so I'm afraid it's not that easy to find. Yan Qi bit his lower lip and said, How about I go to Qingyun Peak.

No, it's almost July and you won't be able to come back in time. Yan San rubbed his forehead and said.

After bleeding for four days, on the fifth day, Ling Qingyu finally woke up a little, and then he complained that he was hungry and wanted to eat fish and meat.

Master Ling’s hobbies include looking at and playing with gold, silver and jewelry, and eating good food anytime and anywhere, so as long as possible, the boats she rides on are equipped with good cooks. The cooks on this special seat are also very good at their craftsmanship. Yan San was robbed of his business, and he was very unhappy with his beard and eyes. When he heard that the boss wanted big fish and meat, he immediately became happy, and soon a table of dishes was prepared.

After eating and drinking, Ling Qingyu really felt like I, Hu Hansan, was back. The days when the whole body was sore and bleeding and the blood was pouring out were really not a life for human beings. After eating, he patted his belly and suddenly noticed that Yan San's face was very haggard. Even his beard had grown out, and he asked unconsciously: Yan San, are you the same as me?

Looking back, Yan Qi's face as beautiful as a woman actually had a beard, and she asked curiously: What have you two been doing these past few days? Normally, he would use his sword as a razor to kill boredom when he had nothing to do. It's really frightening that this person looks like this.

Seeing that she looked like she had definitely recovered, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. The amount of bleeding was comparable to a few cuts on their own bodies, and it was more painful than a few cuts on their own bodies. The woman, as expected, got through it. It's quite hard.

The atmosphere on the ship began to become normal, and we arrived in Yangzhou within two days. The people from the Huashan faction got off the ship here and left. Nine people from the Longmen faction also left. Ling Qingyu originally said that you can all leave, but Lin Jinglin must follow her. In the end, Ling Qingyu had no choice but to agree.

There were no outsiders on the boat, so life was much more comfortable. From time to time, Lin Jinglin was invited to play horse-drawn games and cards. Lin Jinglin fully saw how the rich Ling master acted coquettishly and coquettishly for a hundred copper coins in gambling. She resorted to extreme means. Later, after everyone refused to bet cash with her, they also saw that this female boss was really bold and straightforward. She had stickers all over her face, and she could even push the note away with one hand. Curtain touches the cards in one hand and refuses to leave the table.

After a few days of such relaxed and happy days, Lin Jinglin understood how much face she had given him by letting those outsiders on board. Head Ling has no maids to serve her, she takes care of all the daily life by herself, and she is very easy-going. However, this is all based on the fact that everyone in this world is her own. Once there are outsiders, she will become reserved and polite.

In May, Heishui Pass is full of greenery, and the winding city walls form a landscape of their own on the rolling mountains.

On the city wall, there are three steps, one person, five steps and one post. The spears are cold and the soldiers look solemn.

General Yang really leads the troops well. Han Shu sighed: Such an elite army should be reduced to the old, weak, sick and disabled. The imperial court is trying to destroy the Great Wall.

Yang Zhao smiled and said: They have been afraid of me for a day or two. Now that the peace talks have been successful, there is no war at the border. If I put so many soldiers under my hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.

Han Shuo shook his head and said: Short-sighted, the new king of Liao has been unstable since he ascended the throne, so he came to peace talks. Once his country is stable, he will naturally come to ask for our territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yang Zhao looked toward the distance over the mountains and said: I have divided the soldiers who have disarmed and returned to the fields into four battalions. Meng Su, Fang Nianyuan, Du Ming, Guan Xiao, each will lead one battalion. You can take the two battalions to the northwest, where they can reclaim the wasteland. Build a castle on it. There will be a truce on the Liao side in the past two years, but there have been a lot of changes on the Dangxiang side recently. The land area on your side is too large, so you still need to do a good job of defense. One battalion is in the mine on Hedong Road, and there is another battalion. , let Qingyu take him out to sea.

Han Xuan was shocked. He was going to be a private soldier. He asked unconsciously, Aren't you afraid that the court will find out?

Yang Zhao chuckled lightly and said: Those soldiers were originally required by the court to be disarmed and return to the fields. Now they are going to farm. Is it wrong? In the northwest, the wealthy families are guarding their manors, and in Yinzhou, it is even more war-torn. Hell, they won’t think so much, but it’s best not to use the name of the Ling family, the Ling family is already a bit conspicuous.”

Nowadays, the Ling family's silver shop has established a firm foothold in several big cities because of the secret support of the Xiao family. It has also opened restaurants, silk shops, spice shops, and rice shops. Just these shops are already making people jealous. Han Ye nodded and said: Understood, I will find someone else to do it in the name of someone else. However, you are also a bit blind at the mine on Hedong Road.

Yang Zhao lowered his eyes. Ling Qingyu's latest letter mentioned that he wanted to occupy the iron ore mine and recruit iron workers for smelting. Dazhou has always had strict control over iron and copper. It is really not a good time to intervene in the name of the Ling family. But since she mentioned this matter, she must have her own ideas and plans. After pondering for a while, Yang Zhao said: It doesn't matter, Qingyu also wants to contract some mines, use my name, don't use hers, these things, We must get rid of her.

Han Ye was even more surprised. Yang Zhao was already under suspicion by the court. If he was willing to join one of the factions, he might still be able to receive some protection. However, he refused all marriages from the Wang family and the Dong family, and now he is involved in Tie Ye. I'm afraid it just gives those people an excuse. After thinking for a moment, Han Ye said: No, the Ling family has been providing you with military rations. If something happens to you, the Ling family will definitely not be able to escape. I will find someone else to deal with the iron mine. There are always some people who are greedy for profit and are willing to cooperate. The Ling family wants it. It’s ore, and after it’s packaged, part of it is submitted to the court, and the rest can be dealt with by itself.”

No, Mr. Han, Yang Zhao said with a smile on his face: She wants the iron ore most likely because of my Heishui Pass, but you are right, if something happens to me , it will definitely involve her, as you said.

I heard that the Zhao Jiajun on Hebei Road was also asked to clean up the army this time. Han Ye suddenly laughed.

Yes, otherwise Zhao Yinfeng doesn't want to leave. Yang Zhao's face sank slightly. Logically speaking, Zhao Yinfeng participated in the peace talks, so he must have known something a long time ago. Although his leg was broken, I also had a high fever for half a month, but it was a bit strange that he didn't go back to deal with it after the high fever was gone. Besides, after this kid woke up, he went around looking for a woman named Qingyu. If he hadn't ordered to reduce the number of soldiers, he would have gone directly to Heishui Pass. , he is afraid that he still wants to hang on.

Four captains left this time, and all the following are new soldiers. General Yang, you... Han Zong sighed and did not say anything further. The four Zhaowu captains who were already full-sixth-grade officers were not expected to disarm and return to the field. Lie, now that I have given up my official position and become a steward of a farm, it is really...

Give me a year, and the scattered soldiers will naturally become elite soldiers. Yang Zhao said calmly, with unquestionable confidence in his words.

Han Zong smiled in relief. Seeing such a military appearance, Yang Zhao's ability in leading troops was evident.

Bazhou Zhao's army headquarters.

There is no such person? Looking at the kneeling subordinates below, Zhao Yinfeng asked again.

Yes, we have searched all the houses nearby, and there is no woman named Qingyu who is 18 or 19 years old. Sweat dripped from the subordinate's forehead again. General, you have asked us to turn that generation county upside down. Up to the sky.

Zhao Yinfeng sat back in the chair, waved his hand and said, I got it.

Then, do you still want to look for it? the subordinate asked carefully.

No need, everyone is withdrawing. Zhao Yinfeng said.

After hearing his answer, the subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left. If the investigation continues like this in Nadai County, I'm afraid the people in Heishuiguan will explode. This time, they can't stand their noses.

who are you? Zhao Yinfeng held his head and closed his eyes slightly. Unconsciously, he thought about that night again, and his body became a little warm.

General, a letter from the old general. Zhao Wei walked in quickly, holding an eagle on his arm.

Well, bring it here. As soon as Zhao Yinfeng opened his eyes, all the confusion disappeared. She was just a woman. There was no need to worry about it at this troubled time.

What did the old general say? Seeing that Zhao Yinfeng had been thinking silently after reading the letter, Zhao Wei asked unconsciously.

The old man said that we should use part of our free salary as a quota for layoffs to deal with the emperor. Yang Zhao said that the layoffs affected 20,000 people. If we don't move at all, it will be unreasonable. Zhao Yinfeng trembled. Shake the paper and say.

But with the salary reduction, money will be a little tight this year. Zhao Wei said carefully.

Didn't you say that we would open a business here? Go and ask some merchants to see if you can cooperate. Zhao Yinfeng grinded his teeth. The old man who had accumulated huge sums of money in the past did not give it to him but to Zhao Mingliang. Now the money given by the court was only enough for food. He still had to think of things like armaments on his own.

Don't the imperial court have to send someone else to manage the business? Seeing Zhao Yinfeng's expression, Zhao Wei said, I understand, we naturally have the final say on our territory.
