Quan Yutianxia GL

Chu Rou ran away excitedly with the three-edged gun, presumably to find a pig to test the power, Chu Ning returned to her office, and sat for a while, feeling that there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. Feeling that, I couldn't stay idle, so I walked out of the tent and started to stroll around.

After a few days without going out of the camp, the world outside the camp seemed to have changed. Around the camp, there were many wooden sheds and small thatched huts.At the door of some small huts, earthen stoves, pots and pans are placed, and a few tables and chairs are supported, and some things are being cooked one after another.

At noon at this time, strong men came back in groups from the newly built road from time to time. When they saw these strong men coming back, some children and old people came forward with a smile. Chuning observed for a while, only to find these old men and children They went up to solicit customers, one said their cakes were delicious, the other called their soup delicious, most of them were smiling, and they were noisy everywhere, just like the desolation and desolation that Chuning had seen before. two worlds.

"Sister, are you here to eat too?" The group of men who were working on the road construction just now were all snatched away. A little girl about seven or eight years old didn't snatch the guests. Seeing Chuning standing there and raising her eyes Wang Wang, stumbled over and said repeatedly: "Sister, sister, my mother's soup cakes are really good, you go to our house to eat soup cakes!"

Chu Ning looked around, and then at the thick and ordinary linen clothes on his body, and then remembered that he had just wandered out and forgot to bring his sword and guards, and was treated by the little girl as an ordinary guest, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you will lead the way , my sister will go to your house to eat soup cakes today."

The little girl happily led the way, and not long after, she led Chuning to her hut.

The shed is not big, but it has been cleaned up extremely clean. There are four small wooden tables in front of the house, and several men are already sitting there chatting. One of the men laughed and cursed and shouted: "Mrs. Wuna, your soup cakes are ready. No? Hurry up and serve it up, the brothers have finished eating and have to go to work."

Soon, a woman with a piece of sackcloth tied around her waist came up with several earthen bowls with big heads, waited on the men, wiped her hands, and came to greet Chuning: "Miss, are you new?" Are you a guest here? What do you want to eat? Our family’s soup pancakes, everyone agrees after eating it, you can eat it if you like it.”

Chuning smiled and said, "Just watch and have a bowl."

The woman smiled and went to make soup cakes. Chu Ning sat on the table and watched the little girl go to the side of the road to stop customers again. She couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile, remembering that in her previous life, she also had a nephew of this age. But he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Even to go to the school 100 meters away, he has to be picked up by an adult every day.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the big men next to me sighing while eating: "Last month today, we were still eating leaves and bark, but now we are eating big bowls of soup cakes here. It's been a good day..."

"That's right, it's all thanks to Mr. Bai, a kind person who knows how to sympathize with the suffering of us mud-legged people. He will take the initiative to settle the wages every night when we get off work."

"Xianzun Wang is also a very good person. He often comes to the construction site to see us scumbags, and asks me personally if I have been bullied by those stewards and craftsmen. If anyone dares to bully me, I will go to him to complain. He will call the shots for us..."

"They are all good. If you want me to say, Captain Chu is the best. If Captain Chu doesn't drive away the bandits and pirates, we will have to be like in previous years. As soon as we get our food, we will be robbed of it all... ..."

"Yes, yes, although this year's was snatched away, at least there is still hope. Poor my poor child, he just couldn't make it to this year and live a life of happiness..."

Several men were talking and talking, but some people cried out, crying and crying, and some people said: "The days are getting better, the big guys will cherish the blessings, and it will be New Year's Day in a few days. If everyone is grateful, I will thank you." Let's kowtow to Master Bai, Xianzun Wang and Captain Chu together."

"That's the truth, that's the truth." Several men talked for a while, and then said humanely: "I'm afraid that in the future, Wang Xianzun and Chu Xiaowei will be summoned away by those high-ranking officials in the court. Once they leave, our life will be difficult again..."

Chuning listened silently by the side until the shop lady brought her soup cakes.

It is said to be soup cakes, but in fact it is to knead flour and water into balls, then cut them into pieces with a knife, put them in boiling water, sprinkle some coarse salt, and there are some oily flowers floating in the soup, nothing else .Chuning picked up a piece of dough with chopsticks and looked at it. It was obvious that the flour hadn't even removed the wheat husk, and the color was so gray that it made people lose their appetite.

However, just eating this kind of food was called a good life, so what kind of life these people lived before, Chuning no longer dared to think about it.

Surprisingly, Chuning actually finished eating this bowl of noodles. He was indeed very full, and it was only two copper coins.

But what was embarrassing was that Chu Ning fumbled for a long time in his sleeve pocket, but he couldn't find half a copper coin. I am willing to say no, after all, the big guys don't have much money now, and this woman doesn't know Chuning well.

Chuning waited in embarrassment for a while, thinking whether to let the woman go to the camp with her, when he saw a man with a broken arm walking over. They were wearing the uniform of the Guards Army, pushing a cart with one hand , walking and yelling: "Sell steamed buns... Big and sweet steamed buns, three pennies for two, come quickly if you want to eat..."

Chu Ning waved at him, he took a closer look, put down the cart, saluted respectfully, and asked in surprise, "Master General, why are you here alone?"

The man's right hand was broken, and he saluted with his left hand. Chuning felt a little sad, and returned him a military salute, and asked him to borrow some money to give to the woman. While pushing the cart with him, he asked, "" Lu Lao Qi, I remember you were chosen by Mr. Huo to be in the Security Division? Why did you come out to do this job?"

The reason why Chu Ning remembered this Lu Laoqi was because she personally gave Lu Laoqi a disability pension during the last reorganization.

"Returning to the general, Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Zhu's family fell in love with making steamed buns recently, so they went to the camp to find someone to sell steamed buns for them. The subordinates agreed with them to sell them for them after work every noon and afternoon. Steamed buns, they can give their subordinates two steamed buns as wages every day. Here, it’s this steamed bun, one is full, two are three Wen, and the three of them, women and children, are just right.”

Chu Ning looked at the steamed bun that Lu Laoqi brought out, it was indeed quite big, as he said, two steamed buns with a bowl of water would be enough for three people to eat, but the wheat husks were not removed.

Lu Lao Qi said with a smile: "Many brothers in the camp are jealous of this job, especially some brothers who talk about their wives and have a large family, so they inevitably want to earn more subsidies and save some money, etc. When you have a baby in the future, you can add two new clothes to her."

As long as someone in the camp didn't use the soldiers for private use in violation of the law, Chuning didn't intend to pursue it. Besides, as long as Qing'er was involved in the matter, there would be no penny that could escape her hands, so he and Lu Laoqi Chatted: "Are you married too?"

"It's all thanks to the protection of the captain. This subordinate is married a few days ago." Lu Laoqi rubbed the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said: "Mr. It was all arranged by Mr. Huo..."

I haven't seen you for a few days, and the soldiers in the camp are all married?These soldiers are all in the army. When they get married, it is tantamount to helping the government support some people. Although this is a good thing, Chuning still finds it a bit difficult to accept, because some soldiers are really young. Not even.

Saying goodbye to Lu Laoqi and returning to the tent, Xie Yunzhu caught her as soon as she showed up. Obviously she had been looking for Chuning for a long time.

"How about going to Donglai Mountain?" Xie Yunzhu didn't wait to go back to the office with her, and opened his mouth to ask: "Have you found out clearly? When will you send troops to clean up?"

"I said Miss Yunzhu..."

"Call me Aunt Xie!"

"Okay! Aunt Xie..." Chu Ning covered his forehead, and said helplessly, "Why did you get on that Donglai Mountain? How long have you been down? You just want to run back?"

"There are so many cocoons on the mountain, it's a pity not to pick them! Look at your camp, there are so many people who have no clothes, and they are shivering every day..."

"Aunt Xie, don't use this as an excuse, I know you're not worrying about them." Chuning said seriously, "Tell me your real reason."

Xie Yunzhu curled his lips, muttered a few words, and then said: "I found a blind woman, that is, the women your mother taught silk weaving in Zizhuzhai. She said that when Zizhuzhai was attacked by Qinglongzhai at night, you Mother asked her to bring me a letter, but she was snatched by Taoling Village and blinded, and she hid the letter in Taoling Village."

"You want that letter?" Chu Ning asked in surprise, "Wouldn't it be nice if you asked Chu Rou to take a few people and accompany you for a while? Now that the New Year is approaching, I really don't want to send people up the mountain to suppress thieves. It made everyone cry and cry, and even the New Year's Day was miserable."

Xie Yunzhu looked at Chuning with an extremely serious tone: "So you didn't send anyone to investigate on Donglai Mountain at all?"

"What happened?" Chuning couldn't help asking seriously, "Did you know any news?"

Stepping into the door of Chuning's office, Xie Yunzhu sat down on a chair, crossed his legs and said, "Three days ago, I sent Yelang to Taoling Village, and he came back seriously injured, saying that Taoling Village was occupied by people." Yes, there are many bandits gathered there."

Chuning couldn't help asking in surprise, "How much is a lot?"

"Probably more than when I was in Qinglongzhai..." When Xie Yunzhu made waves in Qinglongzhai, it was when Qinglongzhai was the strongest, and there were nearly a thousand people in the whole village.

Chu Ning's heart sank. She was really too careless recently. She thought that she had broken up and incorporated Qinglongzhai, defeated Blackbeard, and had gained a foothold in the entire county. But she didn't expect that the bandits in Donglai Mountain were far more It was more than imagined, Qinglong Village was destroyed, and now a new Taoling Village appeared... This is obviously not a problem that can be solved by killing.

While the two were talking, Huo Yunshu also walked in with a heavy face, and the people following him were Yao Nan and the others.

However, Yao Nan's complexion was pale at this time, and there were many white cloth strips tied around his body, and the blood on the cloth was bright red, obviously it was bandaged just now.

"See Lord General!" Yao Nan weakly gave a military salute, his voice seemed weak, but his eyes were extremely clear, obviously there was something important.

"Why did you suffer such a serious injury?" A few days ago, this young man was still slyly selling favors in front of her, but a few days later, he looked like he survived a catastrophe. Have you looked at the old doctor?"

The old doctor that Chu Ning talked about was Miao Jiao, an old veterinarian in Zizhuzhai. However, no one asked him to treat cattle and sheep now, so he simply switched to medicine. He was his companion, and he assigned them a few young men who wanted to study medicine, and set up a special medical department.

"The subordinate took him to look for Lao Miao." Huo Yunshu said: "Lao Miao said that there are a lot of wounds and a little bleeding, so he can't die."

"That's good." Chu Ning felt relieved, and said, "What's going on? Yao Nan, tell me in detail."

"That day, after my subordinates and Ah Liu and the others received their punishment, they pretended to be expelled by the general master, and stayed with Ah Liu and the others in Huazi's Nest to recuperate. Little news, it is said that there are kind-hearted people at the foot of Donglai Mountain to distribute food." Ask him to speak in detail, and Yao Nan really speaks in detail. Seeing that he is weak, Chuning asked the guards to add a horse tie to him, and listened to him. Continued: "Everyone was thinking that the bandits on Donglai Mountain had been captured and killed by the general, so we didn't take precautions. We followed those Huazi and prepared to collect food. As a result, there was no food. After receiving it, as soon as he left, he was robbed by those bandits."

"Have you been robbed into the mountain by bandits?" Xie Yunzhu couldn't help asking: "Where did you get robbed? How many bandits are there? Who is the leader?"

"It was robbed into the mountain. It seems that I heard those thieves say, what is Tao...Tao what." Yao Nan thought for a while, and continued: "There are many people there, but there are not many real thieves. Counting...however, there are definitely not as many people in our camp, and others...most of them were tricked or captured."

"There are not as many soldiers in our camp?" Chu Ning confirmed to Yao Nan, "It's all the people who wear the same military uniform as you."

Yao Nan thought for a while, and affirmed, "Yes."

After hearing this, Chuning breathed a sigh of relief, but what Yao Nan said next broke Chuning's heart: "But they cheat and arrest people everywhere, not only in our county, but also in other surrounding counties." .”

Surrounding Huangxian County are Qucheng County, Yixian County, Yixian County and Yexian County, etc. Yexian County is the county seat, separated from Huangxian County by Qucheng County and Yixian County, and these two counties are small counties with a population of less than [-] households. There is no garrison. If there is a rebellion, the two counties are basically like little girls with no clothes on, letting others ravage/ravage them.Therefore, every time Huang County suffers, Ji County will not be any better. Qu Cheng is better, after all, it is closer to the county, but that is only compared to the tragedy of Huang County.In fact, Chu Ning heard people say that it will not be much better.

"Those captured people are basically people who have no way out. Therefore, as long as the bandits give them food and weapons, they are willing to kill for the bandits. That bandit leader is very smart. He often hides in the house Even if he did show up, he covered his face." Yao Nan paused, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and continued: "Last night, he brought some people to help carry the grain, and Ah and I Six they mixed in."

"They didn't dare to light too many torches. They walked in the dark for half the night. It seemed that many people were injured and killed. We followed an unfamiliar mountain. However, a brother of Ah Liu said that he had been there. There, it's the side of Donglai Mountain, it seems...it seems to be in Jixian County." Yao Nan's voice gradually slowed down, but no one in the room urged him, quietly waiting for the news behind him: "There are people over there. I was waiting for him, sent him a lot of food, and called out the bandit leader's name, Zhang... Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhang?" Chu Ning was startled, looked at Huo Yunshu, and said in shock, "Zhang Ming?!!!"

Zhang Ming was originally a soldier in Huang County, the son-in-law of the Xiao family. When Chu Ning and the others broke up Qinglongzhai and joined hands with Wang Yi and Bai Su in the city, Chu Ning seized the military power and handed him over to Wang Yi to be imprisoned in a cell in the county seat. Well, since then, Chuning has been busy going in and out every day, going back and forth, completely forgetting about this person.

If the new leader of the bandits in Donglai Mountain was Zhang Ming, then the person who delivered the food to him should be Duan Jie, the eldest grandson of the Duan family, who works in other places and is an official in the capital.At the beginning, I heard that this person was going to come back to visit relatives, but there was no news after that, it turned out that he had been hiding in secret and planning.

So, before someone secretly bought an assassin to murder Chuning and Bai Su, he was the mastermind?Or, he just used this reason to divert other people's attention so as to save Zhang Ming?But he is obviously an official ordered by the court, why didn't he use the court and the national law to solve Chu Ning and Bai Su?Instead, use this shady method?You know, he is a capital, as long as he files a complaint in the court, it will be enough for Chu Ning and Bai Su.

Chu Ning couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask, "Then what's the matter with your injury?"

"Some of the guards who delivered the food recognized me when I was delivering the food." Yao Nan said with a wry smile, "I and the others said that I had been expelled from the Lord, but they didn't believe me, and they also said Ah Liu and the others He is also the spy of the general, and he insists on killing us."

"So, you guys ran away?" Chuning asked, "Where are Ah Liu and the others?"

"Two are dead, and there are three who are half dead." Huo Yunshu responded with a sullen face, "Lying at Lao Miao's place, when my subordinates brought Yao Nan over, they hadn't woken up yet."

"Okay." Chu Ning nodded, and said to Yao Nan: "The captain understands, what do you mean, there are ghosts in my camp?"

Yao Nan nodded, with a gleam of light in his eyes, and said expectantly: "Master General, Mr. Wang said that the "Regulations on Rewards, Punishments, Pensions, and Preferential Treatments" you announced stated that if you spy on a major military situation, there will be rewards for you." no?"

"Yes." Chu Ning nodded slightly, and then said, "You said there is an insider, and this news is indeed military information, but the insider hasn't been found yet, so I can't send you funds for the time being."

"No, no, cough, cough... Is this considered a military situation?" The light in Yao Nan's eyes couldn't help but brighten up a bit, he coughed again and again with excitement, and after finally stopping, he said: "My lord, then I There is also a military...military situation..."

"What military situation?" Chu Ning immediately asked, "Tell me quickly."

"That... the person who delivered the food said that a few days ago, there was some kind of prince who wanted to send troops to pretend to be thieves and Zhang... Zhang Ming to come to Huang County to snatch Bai... Bai's house..." Yao Nan said , and couldn't help coughing again, this time he coughed up a lot of blood, but he kept asking: "General... this... is this considered military?"

"Forget it! Of course it does!" Chu Ning had just been seriously injured, which seemed to be an internal injury, but he still insisted on asking him for the reward, and immediately comforted him: "If your two military facts are true, you can You get a reward of ten pennies, go to Lao Miao now, and go to heal your wounds with peace of mind, when you heal your wounds, and when I take down those bandits, I will personally give you the rewards!"

"Thank you, Lord General!" Yao Nan paid a military salute, turned around and was about to leave, when he coughed again earth-shatteringly, coughing so much that his hands covered his mouth were covered with blood, after coughing, he suddenly turned around and bowed to Chuning A military salute, intermittently said: "General...if...if I...I die, please...please...you...help me...send...send the reward to...send to... For... Qili Village in Penglai City, for...for Aunt Yao..."

Before Chu Ning could utter a good word, Yao Nan had already fainted on the ground, and the corners of his mouth were still dripping, staining the ground red, which was shocking.
