The wind and rain finally stopped, and Chen Ying was so tired that he couldn't breathe. Now he felt that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.Li Daozhen and Chen Ying fell on the bed together.

Chen Ying didn't know how to face Li Daozhen, and now he took advantage of it, but he couldn't even say that promise.Chen Ying knew that silence would never be the solution to the problem, so he murmured, "What are your plans for the future?"

While putting on his clothes, Li Daozhen combed his disheveled hair with his hands and said softly: "In troubled times, human life is like grass, and we have to meet Chen Lang. This is the luck of Daozhen's three lives..."

Chen Ying struggled to get up: "I mean in the future... don't interrupt!"

"In the future... let's talk about the future!" Li Daozhen turned her face slightly, and turned to look at Chen Ying's handsome face. She reached out and stroked Chen Ying's face boldly, and said lightly: "I know what Chen Lang is worried about. I won't stop you from becoming a consort..."

"You know, that's not what I mean!" Chen Yingji roared in horror, "I, Chen Ying, am not a coward, I am not a bastard who puts on his pants and refuses to accept his account!"

"Why, you men are so disgusting. After taking advantage of you once, you think I should be yours forever? A joke!" Li Daozhen said loudly: "I am not your good match, the life of a good wife and mother, a husband and a teacher. Not suitable for me."

Chen Ying smiled wryly, "You... what kind of life do you want?"

"I want to be a queen!" Li Daozhen's dress had already been put on, she jumped off the bed, her feet were soft, and she struggled to hold on to the side of the bed to maintain her balance: "I want to be a queen!"

Chen Ying smiled wryly: "I want to be a queen, but now is not a good time."

What Chen Ying wants to say is that if Li Daozhen was born during Li Zhi's reign, or during Wu Zetian's reign, she might be able to become a queen.However, in the era of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, there was absolutely no such possibility.

Li Daozhen glanced at Chen Ying, his eyes were full of determination: "I must be the queen." Li Daozhen stroked her flat belly and said, "He must be the little prince!"

Chen Ying did not know how to persuade Li Daozhen, but Li Daozhen left the bedroom without hesitation.

Chen Ying turned around and saw the mottled plum blossom on the bed sheet.Recalling last night's upside down, Chen Ying felt extremely absurd.

……

Chen Ying returned to the Chen Mansion with huge dark circles under his eyes, only to see that the Chen Mansion, which was still crowded with people yesterday, became empty at this moment.

As long as Gao Wenjin was busy in the mansion, Chen Ying said, "Bring Xu Jingzong, Mr. Xu..."

Gao Wenjin said: "Lang Jun, Mr. Xu went to Qinglin early in the morning!"

Due to the matter of the bank, Chen Ying has not been to Qinglinli for more than half a month.Chen Ying thought to himself, with Xu Jingzong watching over, the progress of Chenjiawu Castle would definitely not be slow.

Chen Ying said again: "Please invite Mr. Ma Zhou Ma..." Chen Ying stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll invite you!"

Gao Wenjin said: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma has gone out of Chang'an City to look for a shop to be a bank!"

Chen Ying sat on the soft couch dejectedly. Last night's madness had already exhausted Chen Ying's physical strength. As the saying goes, there are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields. Chen Ying, the green cow, is already listless at this time. Ying lay limply on the soft couch, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

……

There are eighteen towns in Lingwu. These eighteen towns are Han slaves that Chen Ying snatched back from the Turks. Most of them are middle-aged women. If these women only rely on farming, they will naturally be inferior to men.However, these women have all survived nine deaths and crawled out of the dead, and their minds are much stronger than ordinary men.

Taking advantage of the loan that Chen Ying lent them in the name of the Datang government, they bought seeds and farming tools, and finally passed the most difficult period of the first year.These women had been slaves of the Turkic people, and naturally experienced the life of being a cow and a horse. For them, death was far easier than life.

But they have all survived now, and naturally no one wants to go back to the past.

Any one of the women who survived is the strongest among women.They took advantage of the policy left by Chen Ying to obtain a batch of low-quality knives and some bows and crossbows. When these women were busy farming, except for a small number of women who used cashmere weaving thread to weave cashmere cloth, most of them began to repair their towns. Fort, strengthen all the sentry towers, and at the same time strengthen military training.

Especially when Li Daozong led the four Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan Army to leave Lingzhou, the chiefs and mayors of the eighteen towns of Lingwu immediately felt the tension in the air.

Song Wusao is the town general of Lingwu No.17 town, and the only female town general. Of course, in this era, it is still very rare for a woman to be an official, but the official position of town general does not belong to the official system of the Tang Dynasty. It was appointed by Chen Ying privately, and the court did not recognize it.

There are eighteen towns in Lingwu, and there are eighteen town generals. The difference in the number of towns and towns is not small, and the strength is not enough.

Song Wusao is a native of Gyeongju, who was plundered to Turkic slavery 17 years ago.Song Wusao survived in Turkic by relying on her excellent leather tanning skills.It's just a pity that both sons and daughters died in the hands of the Turks.

Ever since she was rescued by Chen Ying, she did not remarry, but focused on revenge.Although Lingwu No.17 town has only 700 people, including more than 3000 women, Song Wusao, as the mayor of the town, organized a guard army of nearly [-] female soldiers. .

If it wasn't for the critical situation in Hedong, Chen Ying would have wiped out all the Liang divisions, but because he was concerned about Li Xiuning's safety, Chen Ying would have spared the Liang division at the end of its strength.

After Wusao Song learned that Li Daozong had taken away the Dingyuan army, she lost her mind.Worried about being scared, she was actually not worried about the Turkic attack. The Turkic people were already scared by Chen Ying. They did not dare to take the initiative to attack Lingzhou, but Liang Shidu did.

As the saying goes, you can come when you are afraid.

On October 17th of the second year of Wude, that is, the seventh day after Li Daozong was transferred away, Song Wusao received a complaint from No. [-] Baoding Mu Xiuling.

Following Mu Xiuling's crying, Mrs. Song gradually understood what happened.

Mu Xiuling is a pungent woman, and Pingyang is also very harsh on her husband, and will fight if there is any disagreement.But I never thought that Mu Xiuling's husband suddenly ran away from home last night, and he still can't find him until now.

At the beginning, Song Wusao wanted to persuade Mu Xiuling to treat her husband better, but when Mu Xiuling revealed that her husband was actually a party member Xifeng Dayu.

The Dangxiang people are also Chen Ying's defeated generals, and they have genocide hatred with the Tang people.If Xifeng Dayu doesn't run away, it means that he has given up his hatred, but he has already run away at this time, he must know that Li Daozong has left Lingzhou with the four Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan Army.Now Xifeng Dayu is either running to the Turks, or defecting to Liang Shidu.

Song Wusao hurriedly led the female cavalry to chase north. After chasing for nearly a hundred miles, there was no trace of Xifeng Dayu at all. Since Xifeng Dayu didn't run to Turkic, it is most likely that he ran to Liangshidu in Yanzhou place.Once Master Liang knows that Lingzhou is empty, Master Liang will never give up this good opportunity for revenge.

Song Wusao was so anxious that she quickly contacted the town generals of Lingwu Eighteen Towns. On October [-]th, the Lingwu Eighteen Towns gathered in Hongshanbao to hold a war mobilization meeting.Seeing that the towns are coming, Mrs. Song said: "That old fox in Liang Shidu will definitely not swallow his anger. If he wants to deal with anyone, he will always wait for the right time and then rush forward and kill the opponent without letting go. Now our Lingzhou Dingyuan Army has taken away The news, in all likelihood, has been known by the old fox Liang Shidu, I am very worried that this old fox will harm us..."

Chapter 44 hit the iron plate

Ma Zhou's work efficiency is very fast. The address of the bank he chose is located in Xingdaofang. The backyard of the courtyard is only 120 steps away from the imperial city wall. This is a relatively safe place in Chang'an. Building the bank here can at least save a lot of money Expenses for security personnel.

Standing on the walls of the imperial city, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire courtyard.Ma Zhou took Chen Ying with the courtyard gate and pointed to Zhuque Street: "The terrain here is open and the transportation is convenient. This is the other courtyard of Yang Xuangan in the previous dynasty. Since the chaos of Yang Xuangan, this place has been abandoned. I have checked it out. Although it looks dilapidated, the house was built with high-quality materials, and the most rare thing is that there is a well-repaired underground money bank in this courtyard, and only copper coins can pile up tens of millions of dollars..."

Chen Ying thought to himself, Ma Zhou took a fancy to this house, probably because the imperial guards on the imperial city could see what was going on in the house, even if hundreds of millions of money were stored here, no one would dare to loot it blatantly .

Chen Ying followed Ma Zhou into this house. Although this house was only Yang Xuanxian's former courtyard, it occupied an area of ​​more than [-] acres, with five courtyards in front and back.As long as the windows and half of the wall are removed, the seven office rooms facing the street can be transformed into the Yingguan Hall.

The more Chen Ying looked at it, the more he felt strange, and asked in puzzlement: "This house is the best choice regardless of its terrain or layout. It is so convenient to go to court, so is there no one to buy it? How come it has been idle for so long?"

"Oh, this... I also found out clearly!" Ma Zhou said: "This house was given to King Li Yuanji of Qi by His Majesty the Emperor. .”

"Li Yuanji!" Chen Ying tapped his head, he really didn't want to deal with Li Yuanji, besides, this person is not short of money, I'm afraid he really can't buy it with money.

Ma Zhou was very clever, and immediately guessed what Chen Ying was in trouble with.So Ma Zhou asked cautiously: "Duke Ming is worried that His Royal Highness King Qi is unkind!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Although King Qi acts perversely, he listens to Princess Pingyang the most. If Minggong asks Princess Pingyang to make peace with him, His Royal Highness Qi Wang will already sell Minggong's favor. Maybe he will not take any money." .”

When Chen Ying heard about Princess Pingyang, she felt a little guilty.If the incident between him and Li Daozhen hadn't happened, Chen Ying would have liked to find a reason to meet Li Xiuning. However, at this moment, Chen Ying was very afraid of seeing Li Xiuning. clear.

However, although Li Yuan can't see the importance of the bank for the time being, he will see it one day. If he doesn't put the bank where Li Yuan can see it, I'm afraid Li Yuan won't feel at ease.But where is it better than Xingdaofang?

It's better not to alarm Li Xiuning, Chen Yingsi decided after much deliberation to entertain Li Yuanji himself and discuss the purchase of this house.Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to Ma Zhou: "Make an appointment with His Royal Highness King Qi for me. I will treat him to a drink, and the place will be at Hongxiuzhao."

Ma Zhou nodded.

……

As soon as the lanterns came up, Yingying and Yanyan with red sleeves began to walk to the door to greet them.In order to obtain Li Yuanji's nominal house, Chen Ying had no choice but to prepare for bloodletting.Chen Ying not only spent tens of thousands of dollars to book the Tianzihao Hall of Hongxiu Zhao, but also paid a price of [-] yuan to invite Miss Qingqing, one of the top three names in Hongxiu Zhao, to accompany her.
