During the two days before and after, the entire Liaodong County Mansion was spent in the fierce undercurrents, sometimes joyful, sometimes disappointed, the intertwined emotions made people unable to control themselves.

It was only this morning that Governor Chu personally announced the matter of the pension and the shares of the four seas. In the afternoon, Mr. Huo came to the barracks to have a heart-to-heart talk with the unmarried soldiers and what kind of girl he likes.

As a result, the entire military camp began to secretly spread the word that Mr. Huo wanted to marry these unmarried soldiers.

Before the soldiers were happy enough, Mr. Jia Peisi from the Discipline Department came to announce the lottery in the evening, saying that the governor of Chu County would invite the soldiers to watch a play.

Jia Pei selected two hundred lucky soldiers and brought them from the barracks to the auditorium of Future County School. When entering the auditorium gate, he met Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan.

After saluting each other, Jia Pei led the people in first. Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan looked at each other, and they saw some understanding on each other's faces.

"It seems that Mr. Huo has figured it out too?" Mrs. Yan teased, "Looking at Miss Qing'er's battle yesterday, I thought it was Mr. who communicated with the envoy, and deliberately deceived me and the generals, and asked me to wait for myself to propose a reduction. pay."

After all, if the generals themselves propose to reduce the salary, it will be difficult to make troubles about raising the salary in the future.

"At that time, Huo also thought that the envoy wanted to use me as a saber envoy." Huo Yunshu smiled wryly, "I didn't realize until today that the envoy may have discussed it with Master Bai long ago, and deliberately tormented us."

"According to the situation at the time, I'm afraid it was not discussed long ago." Madam Yan thought for a while and said, "It's just a temporary idea, and it's just a matter of making use of it."

Huo Yunshu shook his head and sighed: "Poor Qing'er and others are still kept in the dark, and still have quite objections to the military expansion."

Yesterday's quarrel, if Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan were just shirking each other, then Huo Wanqing, Xie Yunzhu, and Zhu Erxi had a real quarrel. After all, they are the ones who earn and take care of the county guard's mansion. On others, it is natural to feel reluctant.

"It's the same on my side. Maybe Wei Jing has some ideas. Liu Changgui, Sun Xing and others are still happily waiting for the expansion of the army, waiting for the dividends to get the money, and they don't understand the twists and turns behind it." Madam Yan said After a pause, he said again: "But that's fine, at least it's a conspiracy, and everyone has scruples in their hearts. It's better than talking about loyalty and betrayal after something happened..."

As a subordinate, I naturally hope to live in harmony with the superior, but if I meet a suspicious superior, or a superior who likes to use tactics, then life will be hard.

Chuning is not suspicious, nor is she a person who likes to use tactics. What she likes to do most is to set many laws in advance, so that others will act according to the laws, instead of acting according to her preferences.

Of course, there are loopholes in any decree, so Chuning would revise the decree every once in a while, and brought his actions under the control of the laws and regulations of the Liaodong County Government.According to Chuning, this kind of repeated tossing and even self-limiting behavior is - morality is the cornerstone of law, and law is the bottom line of morality.

People's moral sense will always change with time, environment and other factors, so we can only make laws to maintain the bottom line of morality.

What Mrs. Yan likes most is Chu Ning's point. She knows how to set the line, knows how to delegate power, knows what she should manage, and knows what she should let go.

"That's right, especially on the side of the Zhaoyi Army. Not to mention the complicated source of troops, there are also a lot of soldiers, and I don't know how much sand has been mixed in." Huo Yunshu sighed: "If you don't have any reason to expand the army rashly, Endless troubles..."

Hastily expand the army?

When Mrs. Yan heard this, she couldn't help laughing. I'm afraid this young female sheriff had been planning to expand the army a long time ago, right?Otherwise, how could it be possible to use so many means one after another?

Just after the First World War, the rewards belonging to the soldiers have already been distributed, but the promotion and transfer orders of the generals are still pressed on the official desk of the female sheriff. Why is this move?Isn't it just waiting to pick the sand out of it?

The sand has not started to be picked, and I have pensions and shares in my hands, and then I have to say goodbye to the soldiers; plus, as early as a month ago, I said that I would invite the soldiers and merchants to watch a theater... and so on. , just for military expansion?

Mrs. Yan's thoughts were not settled, she heard Huo Yunshu stop, Qu Ruzhong walked over with a dark face, and behind him, Eunuch An, Ta Lao County Venerable, He Xiu and others followed.

Qu Ruzhong was really wronged today.He was humiliated by Liu Changgui yesterday, and today he was looking for people everywhere like a mad dog, but before he could find any clues, he was called over by Eunuch An, who chatted vaguely with him for a long time, wasting a lot of his time .To make matters worse, Eunuch An heard from somewhere that the Governor of Chu was going to invite him to the theater today, so he forced him to lead the way.

After seeing the ceremony, the group stood awkwardly at the door. Qu Ruzhong hoped that Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan could stop them, but how could they stop Eunuch An?Especially Mrs. Yan, when she saw Eunuch An, she subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

"I didn't expect to see old friends here." Eunuch An asked with a smile, "Madam, have you lived in peace all these years?"

Aetna?

Lost her husband, lost her family, took her young daughter to become a horse bandit, and lived by plundering Xianbei and Donghu. How can such a life be called Antai?

Madam Yan sneered repeatedly in her heart, clenched her fists tightly, and tried hard to control the hatred churning in her heart - the person she hated was of course not the old eunuch, but the person standing behind the old eunuch.

Huo Yunshu also paused, looked at Eunuch An coldly from behind, but said nothing.

"Madam is naturally safe."

Chu Ning and Bai Su came from the outside, glanced at Huo Yunshu and Mrs. Yan, and quickly put on a smile on their faces: "I didn't expect Eunuch An and Mrs. Yan to be old acquaintances. Come, please come inside."

With that said, Chuning made it a point to go in first.

After entering the door, everyone discovered that the room was circular and the space was unusually large. The floor was covered with stools, there were as many as three or four hundred, but most of them were occupied by people, in groups of three or five. Gathering together to chat, both inside and outside the words are curiosity about this scene.

Seeing Chuning coming in, the soldiers and merchants who arrived first stood up and saluted. After returning the salute with a smile, Chuning led the way, led Mr. An and others to the front, and sat down at the row of tables and chairs closest to the stage.He Xiu and the others also wanted to sit down, but they were rushed to the back after being stared at by Qu Ruzhong.

"I don't have much free time today, and I just heard that a troupe from Donglai has arrived in Muyang City." Chu Ning sighed: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I am thinking about it, and remember that the soldiers in the government have not heard the local accent for a long time, so I invited you here... Well, they are used to being wild in the military camp, if there is any conflict, I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

"Your Majesty loves soldiers like sons, and he really looks like a famous general." Mr. An smiled, boasted, and then changed the subject: "But, these merchants..."

"Hmm..." Chu Ning quickly glanced around, seeing that no one noticed her, so he leaned closer to Eunuch An, and said bitterly, "I'm out of money, but someone has to pay for this show, right?"

Eunuch An's face froze, thinking of the 2 taels of gold in his room, and the news he had just heard, he was a little disapproving, but seeing Chuning getting closer, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "However, the main thing is For another matter."

Before he could think about it, Eunuch An made up his mind and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Didn't Goguryeo come to attack Shepherd City before?" Chuning said softly, "After I came back, I sent someone to investigate Black Bone City, but who would have expected that those scouts would find a gold mine there..."

Hearing the word "gold mine", Eunuch An couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then wanted to scold someone—damn it!Mr. Chu, can't you take care of your big mouth?Can the word "gold mine" be casually said in such a large crowd?

Yesterday, Chu Ning had a meeting, and there were many people talking, and Eunuch An was standing behind the Emperor, and some people passed messages to him, and naturally he heard the news of the gold mine. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't be rushing to see the show today—— He originally thought that Chuning was using the name of going to a theater, but she was secretly gathering people to conspire to rob the gold mine without telling him, but he didn't expect that she would openly reveal the matter.

I thought that Chu Ning would continue to talk, but several merchants came over to chat with her. Eunuch An waited for a while, waiting until she was free, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Mr. Chu?" You don’t want to snatch the gold mine back?”

"Get it back?" Chu Ning looked at Eunuch An with a face full of surprise, and said in disbelief, "That's in the hands of Goguryeo. How can I snatch Goguryeo even with my thousands of troops?"

Eunuch An probed again: "Could it be that the envoy is willing...to give someone up like this?"

"Father-in-law, I'm not quite satisfied." Hearing this, Chuning looked around, and then said with a triumphant smile, "I've already sold this gold mine, so I'll sell it to these merchants."

Mr. An felt incredible: "But this gold mine is still in the hands of Goguryeo..."

"That's why I sold it!" Chu Ning said, "I told these merchants that after I expand my army and conquer Black Bone City, this gold mine will belong to them."

"..."

Eunuch An was at a loss for words, thinking, when you expand your army and take down Black Bone City, how long will you have to wait?Besides, even if Black Bone City is defeated, are you really willing to give up a gold mine?

Are these merchants stupid?How could she be fooled by this female sheriff with such a clumsy trick?

Eunuch An thought about it on his own, and Chuning ignored him, and started chatting with the many merchants brought by Bai Su when he turned around.

After chatting for a long time, Jia Pei dressed in military uniform and walked onto the stage with extraordinary momentum. He first saluted the audience, and then he said in an angry voice: "All officers and men, all leaders, gentlemen, ladies, everyone Good evening! I am very glad that at this critical moment of the New Year's Eve, you can still spare time to visit my Shepherd City..."

As soon as Bai Su heard the opening remarks, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Chuning, but she saw that she was sitting upright, listening to these polite words very seriously, occasionally with a distant expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking, or What are you missing...

Chuning did miss her previous life a little bit, but she only gave herself a few short breaths, and after using up those few breaths, she took Bai Su from under the table, clasped her palms, and clasped fingers.

Although there are no microphones and speakers, Chuning considered this problem when building this auditorium, so he used a circular dome on the top, and adopted the design of the echo wall on the surrounding walls, that is, it was built in a circular shape, so as to To achieve the purpose of gathering and amplifying the sound.

Although the effect is not very ideal, but on the basis that the audience sits around the stage on three sides and the whole process is quiet, it can still meet the needs of four to five hundred people to see and hear clearly.

"Next, please enjoy the new drama brought to you by the Dongchunlou Troupe in Dongnae County - the bloody battle in western Liaoning!"

As Jia Pei's words fell, all the curtains around the room were lowered. In the dark room, only the lantern was hung on the stage. The lantern illuminated the curtain hanging on the wall behind the stage. There are thousands of troops and horses, flags fluttering, and in the center are written "Blood Battle in West Liaoxi" in big red characters.

At the same time, the whole room fell silent, and the deep drum sounded slowly, carrying the depression of the coming storm, clearly hitting everyone's heart, attracting everyone's attention to the stage.

Then, a middle-aged man wearing a costume similar to that of a county official came up to the stage, pacing and sighing worriedly.

"Lord County Lord! Lord County Lord... Blackbeard pirates attacked the county seat, County Captain Zhang..." Another man in soldier clothes rushed up to the stage, crying, "Master Zhang... ...unfortunately died in battle..."

The county lord heard the words and exclaimed: "What? The common people... are the common people all right?"

The county lord said, and ran forward a few steps, as if he had left the county government and came to the street.

A little boy ran past crying on the street: "Father! Mother! Where are you? Save Yu'er... Come and save Yu'er..."

Another villain with a scar on his face came after him, he swung his knife and slashed at the little boy...

……

Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience couldn't help but gasp, some even screamed on the spot, even Bai Su trembled slightly, and couldn't help but clenched Chuning tightly.

At the same time, a mournful flute sounded gradually, and people ran over from the left side of the stage, escaping from the county venerable in panic.

The county venerable had a sad expression on his face, and tried to stop those fleeing people several times, but was pushed away time and time again by those people...

After this chaotic opening, someone pushed the curtain over to block the people running around on the stage, and switched the scene of the play.

But the screaming and crying of those adults and children did not dissipate. At the same time, two young girls in strong costumes came to the stage and came to the curtain.

"Sister, would you like to practice martial arts with Ning'er?"

"What's so good about practicing martial arts? Why don't you learn more about female celebrities..."

"If practicing martial arts is not good, why do you have to practice swordsmanship every day? Do you have to read military books every day?"

"Because the villains are rampant at the foot of the mountain, my sister wants to protect Zizhu Village and you..."

"But, there are villains at the foot of the mountain, what should the people do?"

……

Chu Rou was stunned in the audience, thinking to herself, which one is this acting on?What is Chuning making up?Have you read military books before?Have you ever said such a thing?There's none?Have it?It seems there is, right?

Before he could think about it, he saw the characters on the stage change. The county magistrate came up on stage with a recruitment order, and the two sisters of the Chu family went down to join him. Not long after, the role of Liu Changgui also appeared on the stage.

On the stage, Liu Changgui hung a long sword at his waist, looking majestic, holding the head of the head of Qinglongzhai in his hand, and said with emotion: "Although I, Liu Changgui, am in the green forest, I am a commoner. Now the head of Zhu Xiao is here to vote. I am willing to fight bloody battles with the general to defend us." People all over the world!"

Liu Changgui under the stage was confused and asked himself: Is this me?isn't it me?

The soldier under him next to him watched with enthusiasm, and raised his thumb to praise again and again: "The chief executive is the chief executive! He has courage! He is a real man! He will be sealed off as a wolf, just around the corner!"

Liu Changgui was so relieved when he heard this, he slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized - isn't this me?Besides me, who could be so impassioned, so ambitious and passionate?So wise and wise to serve the envoy of Chu early?

……

Chuning had bothered to write so many storybooks before, not just to relieve Bai Su's boredom, but also for this "Blood Battle in the West of Liaoning". presented in the form of drama.

It is a pity that although the actors in Dongchunlou have stage experience and are not stage-frightened, they still lack acting skills. In addition, this new play with a large scene span and a fast-paced plot will inevitably make mistakes of one kind or another. , Shengsheng turned Chuning's majestic epic stage play into a cos show.

But it's okay, at least the acting is comprehensible, at least Bai Dangjia can watch it with gusto, at least everyone else can watch it fascinated too.

The play begins with the pirate Blackbeard plundering the county seat, explaining the origins of the two sisters of the Chu family, and changing Zizhu Village into Zizhu Village. After receiving the news of the county's recruitment of talents, the two sisters took their clansmen and went to exterminate the bandits. Became the head of the capital, promoted to the rank of lieutenant...

In order not to leave people with an image of "fishing for fame and reputation", after explaining his own background, the protagonist in the following plots was changed.

The new protagonists are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks born in Liaoxi County. The male protagonist is named Qin Hao, and the female protagonist is named Chen Erniang.

Qin Hao and Chen Erniang fell in love with each other and decided to spend their lives privately, but the woman's parents disliked Qin Hao's poor family as a hunter, and they did not agree with this marriage, and wanted to marry her to another rich man.

But Qin Hao didn't want the woman he liked to marry another, so he went out early and returned late to hunt in the mountains. Not only did he get enough dowry, he also bought a pot of pear blossoms for Yuanyuan's father in heaven and earth, and bought one for Chen Erniang's mother in Hongyan Pavilion. After buying a silver hairpin, Chen Erniang's parents finally agreed to marry their daughter.

Unexpectedly, on the night of their marriage, Xianbei people killed them, not only took away Chen Erniang, but also forced to death eight members of Qin Hao's family, and even his younger brother who surrendered to Xianbei as a slave was not spared.

Because Qin Hao usually hunted and practiced martial arts, he was agile and fought back. Although he was seriously injured, he escaped from the Xianbei knife by chance. Abandoning Xianbei's treachery, he resolutely defected to Zhaoyi General Chu Ning.

Hearing Qin Hao's name for the first time, Chen Longjian felt a little familiar, but the more he got to the back, the more his heart beat faster, especially at the end of the show, General Gu Wenxiong was trapped in Pinggang City in order to attract the main force of Xianbei, and the Zhaoyi Army was in a situation outside the city. Weak in strength alone, we can only unite with the loyal armed forces to fight the enemy together.In order to win the chance, General Zhaoyi sent two scouts to infiltrate Pinggang City and contact General Gu Wenxiong to cooperate...

One of these scouts is Qin Hao. After a lot of hard work, Qin Hao was discovered by Xianbei at the critical moment of entering the city. In order to cover his companions from entering the city, Qin Hao fought with Xianbei for [-] rounds with one enemy and cried out:

Gouli country!Do not seek wealth!

Not afraid of powerful enemies!Not afraid of life and death!

Show off our military prestige!Show off our military spirit!

Get rid of Hu Yi!Defend my Huaxia!

……

When Qin Hao died, there were sobs from the audience, and Chen Longjian burst into tears. He knew that the governor of Chu hadn't forgotten—he hadn't forgotten the two comrades who died in Pinggang City!
