Quan Yutianxia GL

After sending the letter to Bai Su, Chuning cheekily stayed in Liaoxi for the time being. On the surface, he said that he was helping Li Zhan and Gu Wenxiong to deal with the aftermath with them. In fact, besides staying and continuing to sell people, he was Together with Xiao Hongfei, they searched for people who survived the war.

Shepherd City was newly built, with a population of less than [-]. Apart from the army, the labor force of the prime of life was only less than [-]. Even if women were used as men and men were used as livestock, the limited labor force still required the construction and development of Shepherd City. Many times slower.

Since Bai Su held the business banquet, the reputation of heaven and earth has spread farther and farther, and the reputation of Muyang City has also grown. When it comes to Muyang City, most people's first thoughts will be heaven and earth, followed by white walls and green walls. Tile and cement roads, followed by various ceramics, followed by dried beef, dried salted fish... and so on.

It can be said that the reputation of Muyang City and Heaven and Earth has already been established, but due to backward technology, lack of manpower, and low production capacity, the output cannot keep up with market demand. Therefore, not only the profits of Chuning and Bai Su have been greatly reduced, but also Limiting the construction progress and development speed of Shepherd City.

Because of this, Bai Su had already dispatched stewards to recruit people in the major refugee gathering places in Youzhou before the battle was decided.

But even so, it is still difficult to solve the current predicament. What makes Bai Su even more troublesome is that with the development of Muyang City, in addition to the lack of basic labor, all kinds of official personnel are even more scarce.

As a last resort, Bai Su had no choice but to send someone to hurry up and find Feng Jiuqing.

During this expedition, the management of the first and second echelons of the Guards Army, except for Huo Yunshu, were almost all on the battlefield in western Liaoning. Only Bai Su stayed behind in Muyang City. After finding Feng Jiuqing, the two took charge of civil and commercial affairs , but despite this, the rapid development of Muyang City, large and small matters, still keep the two busy from morning to night, and after Chu Ning received Gu Wenxiong and Li Zhan's head fee, he asked Bai Su to send more people Come over and open a new bank branch in Youzhou to help her.

Bai Su was busy, Chu Ning was busy, Feng Jiuqing was also busy, but Li Rui was idle—after Xianbei retreated, Li Rui brought a large amount of food from Youzhou, and after a short supply, Gu Wenxiong Start dispatching soldiers and horses to get back the lost city.As the supreme commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Li Zhan naturally wanted to gain fame with Gu Wenxiong, but at this time, Li Rui did not have the position of Sima in the army.

Not only Li Rui, but in fact, even Chu Ning and Xiao Hongfei don't have the right to speak now, and they can't get involved at all. Anyway, the two of them have already made money, so they simply indulge in kidnapping people wholeheartedly and don't talk to each other anymore. Gu Wenxiong and Li Zhan fought openly and secretly.

Since there was nothing to do with her in Youzhou, Li Rui gathered his thoughts and sent a memorial to the imperial court early, and then prepared to set off to return to Beijing to face the saint.

Before returning to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, Li Rui boarded the merchant ship of the Bai family and was going to visit Muyang City—Chuning not only gave her shares in the heaven and earth, but also abducted her several times to go to Muyang City, saying that in Muyang City, She was left with an important position no lower than Mrs. Yan.

If someone else said that, Li Rui would definitely reward him with a few swords. After all, she is the daughter of a dignified royal family and the princess of Yingchuan County who was appointed by the emperor—but this is what Chu Ning said, so Li Rui has to be cautious consider.

Recently, there seem to be many more ships in the Bai family. Almost every day, one or two of them dock one after another. Because of Chuning's instructions, Li Rui was welcomed into a separate cabin by the captain, but he didn't notice. After her, there was a woman who was so skinny that she was only skin and bones. She also mixed with the refugees and followed her on board.

The sea boat stopped and went, and finally arrived at Shepherd City after a few days. After most people disembarked, Li Rui came out of the cabin slowly with the guards, but when she glanced casually from the deck, she couldn't help Was stunned on the spot.

"What day is today?"

"Return to Your Excellency the Princess." The guard quickly took out the paper almanac, flipped through it, and replied: "According to General Chu's almanac, today is the sixth day of November."

Since this era uses celestial stems and earthly branches to represent the year, month and day, Chuning was too lazy to fix these complicated things. As early as last year, she asked Wang Yuande to compile a new almanac according to her request.

Since the Eastern Expedition this year, everyone who has contacts with Chuning and has a close relationship has been given a copy, and they come and go again and again. Subtly, everyone has gradually become accustomed to doing things according to this calendar.

"The last time I came back to Muyang City was the second day of August." Li Rui looked at the neat rows of houses on the bank, and couldn't help but marvel: "In just three months, a dilapidated small earthen city was built. It is more orderly than many counties in Shangxian... This Chu Zhaoyi is really amazing!"

After getting off the boat, Li Rui, accompanied by guards, walked slowly along the wide road by the bank, while asking the orderly who came to greet him: "What is paved on this road? And those women..."

After asking a question, Li Rui looked at the bustling men, women, old and young people coming and going, and the four-wheeled carriages speeding from time to time, Li Rui felt that he was not like a princess at all, but like a country girl who came to the city for the first time.

While laughing dumbly, he saw the carriage suddenly stopped in front, and the healthy woman holding the carriage held the whip and shouted loudly: "Come on! Come on! Rob! Someone is robbing here!"

"Someone is robbing?" Li Rui was startled, and hurriedly called the guards to come forward.

"robbery?"

Before Li Rui could make a sound, a few strong men with wooden sticks appeared from somewhere beside them. They were wearing uniform brown arrow-sleeved strong suits, with a wide belt hanging from their waists, and a bronze medal about three fingers wide and two inches long hung on them. .

"This is the area under the jurisdiction of the second banner of the first round of the Security Division." The strong man who stood first flashed his waist badge to the healthy woman and the people around him: "Who the hell dares to fight against me?" Robbery on Lin's site?"

"You surnamed Zhu, try to be more majestic? Didn't you see that woman in red? Holding such a long sword, blocking the middle of this driveway, isn't it robbery? What is it?" The healthy woman with a horsewhip He was not afraid at all, and scolded very viciously: "Believe it or not, I will go to the inspector's office to complain about you immediately!"

"Ouch! So it's Big Sister Huang! Just wait! The boy will take her away!"

Zhu Lin yelled, and brought a few people forward with wooden sticks, surrounded the woman in red with a sword in her hand and a veil: "Miss, I'm sorry, this Shepherd City is not easy to make trouble. place, put down your sword, and come with us!"

"Is Bai Su here?" The red-clothed woman's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly, "Let her come to see me, or, take me to see her!"

"Bai Su?" Zhu Lin rubbed his head and thought for a while, then asked, "You mean Master Bai?"

The woman in red replied in a naive manner: "Exactly!"

"Sorry! I'm afraid the Bai family is not a female thief like you, who can see you whenever you want." After Zhu Lin finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, take her down!"

"you dare!"

The woman in red snorted coldly, and the long sword in her palm suddenly came out of its sheath, and with a cold light, it hit Zhu Lin's vital point.

Zhu Lin also retreated from the soldiers. Although he was injured, he was still a little more vigilant than ordinary people, so he raised his stick subconsciously to block him, but the opponent's sword was so sharp that the wooden stick didn't have any blocking effect at all.

Seeing that disaster was about to happen, a scabbard suddenly stretched out from the side to hold the sword of the woman in red.

"Girl, if you don't agree with me, you will kill me, isn't that right?"

Li Rui held the sword horizontally in his left hand, the sword was not out of the sheath, however, the name of the sword engraved on the sheath had revealed her identity.

The woman in red exclaimed in shock: "Shocking Rainbow Sword?!"

"It's the Shocking Rainbow Sword!" Li Rui was slightly startled: "It seems that the experience of stepping down is very unusual, and he also knows the Shocking Rainbow Sword."

The Shocking Rainbow Sword was originally Baiyi Yunhou's saber. He followed Yun Baiyi in many years of battles, and was famous and powerful in the world. However, after Yunhou passed away, the whereabouts of this sword were unknown.

Li Rui admired the fame of Marquis Yun since he was a child, and regarded her as his teacher. It took a lot of painstaking efforts to retrieve the sword. He didn't make much noise, but the woman in red saw the origin at a glance.

The two were in a stalemate, when suddenly a bell rang, followed by whistles from various places, Zhu Lin also touched the whistle, and blew a few times in a hurry.

Not long after, I heard someone shouting: "The security department has arrested the female thief in red! Leave as soon as you can! There will be rewards for those who help!"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in your own business!"

After the woman in red warned Li Rui, she withdrew her sword and was about to run away. She raised her foot just now, but saw the startling rainbow sword facing her.

"court death!"

The woman in red snorted coldly, and the long sword in her palm was unsheathed again, and it went straight to Li Rui's neck.

"presumptuous!"

Li Rui is so old, he replied, and then started fighting back and forth with the woman in red.

After a few tricks, the woman in red showed her weakness due to lack of strength. Li Rui was about to take her down with all her might, but unexpectedly, she took a few steps back, and then grabbed a passing girl. He held hostage and threatened: "Li Qingci, if you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being cruel!"

After all, the woman in red dragged the hostage back a few steps, then stabbed the girl with a sword, and then quickly pushed the injured and screaming hostage towards Li Rui and the others.

"Quick! Save people!!!"

After Li Rui gave an order, he immediately followed the woman in red to catch up, but Chuning built the houses in the shepherd city neatly. The chessboard extends in all directions and resembles a maze. After chasing it for dozens of breaths, Li Rui lost the figure of the woman in red before his eyes.

Sadly returning to the spot, Li Rui saw Qu Ruzhong and another Yang Sizong chasing after him with a group of well-armored soldiers.

Qu Ruzhong followed Chu Ning from Husu County, so he naturally knew Li Rui. After seeing the ceremony, he turned around and scolded Zhu Lin bloody.

"The red-clothed female thief acted fiercely as soon as she got off the boat, and even injured three guards! You have escaped here, and you fools let her hurt innocent people again!" No matter how much scolding, Qu Ruzhong didn't feel relieved, so he had to Drive the person away: "Damn it! Why don't you go find it soon? If you find someone, don't act rashly, pass the news back, and I will ask Yang Sizong to send soldiers to catch him!"

Qu Ruzhong said that Mr. Yang, whose surname is Yang and whose name is Houde, was a soldier of General Zhaoyi’s Chu Ning. He is currently the chief inspector of the Seventh Division of the Zhaoyi Army. city ​​defense.

Since Chuning occupied Shepherd City, although fights and fights have occurred from time to time, this is the second time that other than Xiang Xiao, the incident of fighting with weapons has injured people.

Therefore, the faces of Qu Ruzhong and Yang Houde were very ugly. They could imagine how furious General Zhaoyi, who was far away in the west of Liaoxi, would think of them when he learned that any female thief could hurt someone in Muyang City. inability!
