Crossing town house man and wife

After reading the bamboo slips, Yan Heng stood up immediately, and said to Shang Gui apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Gui, I have some things to deal with..."

"Let's go, what should we do?" Wu Ming said first, "Let's continue to eat what we have."

"Please ma'am." Yan Heng apologized to Shang Gui, and then left the table in a hurry.

Seeing him go out, the ghost merchant picked up the wine bottle and said to himself: "His luck is really good, and his wishes come true."

"Don't play tricks there, you just peeked at other people's secret letter." Wu Ming gave the merchant a blank look.

Just now Wu Ming felt obvious fluctuations in spiritual power in the room, and now hearing Shang Gui's words, Wu Ming immediately realized that Shang Gui must have used clairvoyance.

The ghost merchant smiled slightly, "What about you? Are you willing to help him achieve what he wants?"

"You know, I'm not enough to accomplish anything, and I'm more than a failure." Wu Ming stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth, and after eating, he continued, "By the way, you know that walls have ears, and there are many people in this hall who listen to the walls. Is it interesting to ask me such a cliché?"

"It's boring." The merchant ghost raised the wine bottle in his hand and drank the fruit in it.

At this moment, Yan Heng and Yao Zhong came to the meeting room of the front yard, and called over all the counselors in the mansion and several military officers who were on duty in the mansion.

This time, the Liaoxi Emergency Report is not just a request for help, but more like a funeral report in terms of its content.

After the earthquake, several parts of the Great Wall on the border of western Liaoning collapsed, and the garrison in the border town failed to fill it up in time, so the northerners who were originally confronting the garrison at the other end finally seized the opportunity and rushed into the border town.After slaughtering the entire border town, the northerners continued to go south, heading straight for the more affluent hinterland of western Liaoning.

At the same time, under the double persecution of the snowstorm and the earthquake, the local people in western Liaoning have long been miserable. Before the northerners came, civil unrest broke out in several places.

The Governor of Liaoxi not only had to appease the people and quell the riots, but also had to deal with the coming northerners, but he didn't have any available troops at hand, otherwise he wouldn't ask the surrounding counties for help when the northerners came.In desperation, the governor of Liaoxi could only send out a letter for help again, telling his surroundings the real situation in Liaoxi, hoping that they would understand the truth of death, and come to save his life.

When Yan Heng first saw this letter calling for help, the first thing Yan Heng thought of was that birds were still inferior to living people after all.

The Bird Battalion that Gui Lao helped him set up only sent back the news that there was no more fighting on the western border of Liaoning. Yan Heng thought that the northerners had been scared away by the earthquake, but he didn't expect that this group of barbarians slaughtered the border town and marched south.

But people also have human limitations, and it is difficult to solve the problem of limited mobility.In order to prevent mobs from entering the city and northerners from invading, all counties in western Liaoning closed their city gates tightly, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave.It was difficult for the spies in the city to deliver the news. Even if they did, the responders outside the city would not be able to deliver the news to Yan Heng in time due to the heavy snow and earthquake.

This is also the reason why Yan Heng received the second request for help but still did not receive the informant.

But after thinking about it, Yan Heng felt that this was a blessing from God.

With this letter, he can turn the darkness into the light, lead his troops straight into the Liaoxi Army Station, and then completely take over Liaoxi.It's just that the timing of dispatching troops must be carefully grasped. In any case, they must arrive after the northerners officially attack the city, so as to arrange a reasonable cause of death for the Liaoxi county guard.

Yan Heng didn't express his thoughts, but he didn't need to speak out about this kind of thing. There were counselors who willingly uttered evil words for him, chose the most upright reason for sending troops for his own side, and arranged for the governor of Liaoxi. A method and cause of death most favorable to them.

The people below were arguing about the time and details of dispatching troops, but Yan Heng suddenly remembered what Wu Ming had said to him.

"...Shang Laogui said that this year is not good, and the earthquakes like last night may be very frequent."

Are disasters really happening this year?

Yan Heng frowned unconsciously.

His distraction immediately attracted the attention of the people below, and soon someone asked tentatively: "My lord, do you think this agenda item is inappropriate?"

Yan Heng was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, and said bluntly: "No, I was thinking about other things."

"Can the lord speak clearly?"

Yan Heng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "If the earth dragons will continue to turn over and continue, then—will the annexation of Liaoxi do more harm than good?"

After all, they are not savage northerners who just grab things and leave, and they don't just want land.Once Liaoxi is swallowed into his stomach, the people on the ground in Liaoxi will become his people, and he will take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, today's Liaoxi County Sheriff is not a capable official. He knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.The government's granary has long run out of food, and the army's weapons have not been replaced or repaired for many years.If it weren't for this, even a group of hungry northerners would not be able to settle down.

In this way, once Yan Heng takes over Liaoxi, the first thing to solve is the problem of food and housing for the affected people.

The problem of accommodation is not bad, it can be solved with Wu Mingjiao's igloo.But the problem of food is not so easy to solve. There is also a lot of food in Liaodong. If it is only to help the local people, there is still some surplus, but once the people in Liaoxi are also added... Well, if you control it carefully, it is not so bad Can't wait until the next harvest.

But the premise of this is that there will be no more natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc. that will affect the harvest.

Yan Heng's counselors and retainers obviously didn't think of this, and no one answered Yan Heng's question for a long time.

In the end, Yao Zhong asked, "My lord, have you received any news?"

"It's not news." Yan Heng said, "It's a strange person who divination such a divination and warned me."

"That person is..." Someone immediately asked.

Yao Zhong coughed lightly and interjected, "Is this hexagram accurate?"

"I don't know yet." Yan Heng showed a little helplessness.

A counselor immediately answered, "Maybe that person is trying to win over the lord by making alarmist words..."

"what!"

Before they finished speaking, everyone felt their bodies shaking involuntarily, and the table in front of them and the ornaments on the table also vibrated visibly.

Fortunately, this feeling was fleeting, and the trembling furniture quickly stopped.

But there were exclamations and shouts from outside the meeting hall, and someone even shouted loudly, "Come out, come out, go to the open space!"

Everyone in the hall was completely silent, and the person who spoke before was even paler and sat on the ground paralyzed.

"Di... Dilong turned over?" Finally, someone couldn't help but speak.

The other guy who was good at flattering came back to his senses immediately, cupped his hands at Yan Heng and said: "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord, it is destiny to have the help of such a strange person!"

Yan Heng was still in shock, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to such a low compliment, and kept a straight face, pretending he didn't hear it.

Yao Zhong, who was at the side, said, "My lord, it's better to go out and take shelter first, just in case."

Yan Heng took a deep breath, and finally stood up, "Everyone get out."

Wu Ming and Shang Gui also left the house now.

Wu Ming was anxious to see what was going on in his yard, but the merchant ghost had nothing to do, so he followed him.

This time the earthquake was short and mild, not even a few cups and saucers were shattered, but once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of well ropes for ten years. out of the house.

When Wu Ming returned to his yard, Aunt Lao was also standing in the open space with her maid and maid. Seeing Wu Ming approaching, she hurried forward to greet her.

"lady."

"Get up." Wu Ming replied casually, without introducing Shang Gui to Aunt Lao and the others.

Seeing that no one in the courtyard was injured, Wu Ming remembered his unfilled stomach, raised his hand and called Osmanthus over, asking her to get some food and drink.

Osmanthus hesitated for a moment.

Wu Ming said helplessly: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no more shocks today."

Osmanthus immediately turned and went to the kitchen.

Hearing what Wu Ming said, Aunt Lao also turned her head to the maidservant beside her and said, "It's all right, let's all go back to work!"

Just as the women dispersed, Yan Heng brought someone over.

"Ma'am." Yan Heng habitually went over to hold Wu Ming's hand first, glanced at him, and saw that he was safe and sound, then turned his head and nodded to Shang Gui, "Old Ghost, can we come in and talk?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Ming asked suspiciously.

"Didn't Madam say that old ghosts are good at divination..." Yan Heng reminded vaguely.

I just said he would, not that he was good at it!

Wu Ming rolled his eyes, but he also understood why Yan Heng was looking for the Shang ghost, and turned to the Shang ghost, "Go in and talk?"

The Shang ghost smiled and said nothing.

Wu Ming only thought that he agreed, but before he could turn around first, a powerful sense of consciousness landed on him, which made Wu Ming's expression suddenly changed.

Shang Gui disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.

Yao Zhong and Mu Yao who came with Yan Heng couldn't help exclaiming in unison, Yan Heng also opened his mouth in surprise.

What a wonder!

Yan Heng was still sighing, but Wu Ming's face changed again.

When he just felt this divine sense, Wu Ming thought it was someone from the Orthodox Sect who came to him, but when he saw the reaction of Shang Gui, Wu Ming realized that the person who came was definitely not a Taoist priest, but that bastard Xia Laogui !

Depend on!Depend on!Depend on!

If there is a fight, wouldn't it be another earthquake!

In an instant, Wu Ming didn't care about anything more, he pinched the Fa Jue, and cast an inch-shrinking spell to chase after him.

The Shang Gui didn't go far, Wu Ming just raised his foot and found that the Shang Gui had fallen at the main entrance of the Sheriff's Mansion, and the man standing opposite him looked unfamiliar, but Wu Ming determined his identity by looking at his clothes ——

Old ghost Xia nicknamed Xia Bo!

Wu Ming hurriedly followed, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, Wu Ming was embarrassed to find that he and Yan Heng had been holding hands. His casting of the spell directly brought Yan Heng over.

Uh……

Wu Ming looked at Yan Heng anxiously, and found that his expression was stiff, obviously frightened.

Wu Ming coughed lightly, squeezed Yan Heng's hand, and whispered, "Don't talk, if there is a fight in a while, run for your life and leave me alone."

"Husband..." Upon hearing Wu Ming's words, Yan Heng immediately came to his senses.

But before he could say more, Wu Ming squeezed his hand again, signaling him to shut up quickly.

Yan Heng immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Wu Ming turned around and found that Uncle Xia didn't come alone, but a young man with him.This young man's appearance is not very handsome, but he has a gentle temperament and a slender figure. If his hair is loose, he looks a bit like a merchant ghost.

At this time, Uncle Xia had already started talking to Shang Gui with a smile, "Shang Shang, you are indeed here!"

"Why are you here?" The merchant ghost asked coldly.

"Of course I came to look for you!" Xia Bo said with a smile, "If I didn't suddenly think of you that day and took out the same life lock to play with, I wouldn't know that you came here too—eh, is the one in the back a little girl? Wu Zi?"

"You're big!" Wu Ming immediately responded with a pair of white eyes, "You are an old man, who is harming this child again?!"

"What you love and what I want, how can it be called a disaster!" Xia Bo put his arms around Xiao Lang's shoulders, pinched his chin with the other hand, and said with a light smile, "Guigui, I have caused you a disaster!" ?"

"Xia Lang—" Xiao Lang, who was called Gui Gui, blushed with embarrassment.

Wu Ming immediately lowered his head with his forehead supported.

idiot!

The real CP is right in front of him, and he dares to call him so affectionately, he is really an old birthday star who hanged himself, impatient to live!

Just as Wu Ming expected, as soon as Xia Lang uttered the word Xia Lang, the merchant ghost in front of him moved, and with a flick of his sleeve, he rolled Xiao Lang named Guigui out of Xia Bo's arms, and pulled him in front of him. Then he clasped his forehead, twisted it back forcefully, and forcibly twisted his head off his neck.
