Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

With the help of Huo Yan, Lou Yu slowly returned to the main courtyard.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, his knees gave way and he fell straight to the ground without even holding Huo Yan.

Feng Erbi was startled, hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and stretched out his hands to help.

Lou Yu hugged his knees, buried his head in his arms, and said in a low voice, "No need."

The sun fell on the sleeves of the clothes. Although it was darkly bright, it was a bit cold for no reason.

Feng Erbi opened his mouth. He usually has a lot of tongue, but at this moment, he felt his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything.

He had no relationship with Zhuangtou, and Zhuangtou's death was not a big deal in his eyes, but seeing His Highness in such a state, he couldn't help mourning and turning sour.

He didn't dare to disturb Lou Yu, so he had to look at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan just lowered his eyebrows and crossed his arms, indifferently, as if he was not afraid because he was used to seeing life and death.

"vomit--"

Lou Yu got up suddenly, leaned on the corner of the wall and retched.

Living in peaceful times for more than 20 years, he never thought that he would be afraid of blood.

During the scuffle just now, the blood of the farmers and refugees splashed on the ground, mixed with the yellow-brown soil, filled with the salty smell of blood, coupled with the tragic death of the village head, Lou Yu felt numb all over when he thought of those scenes, Hands and feet are weak.

He is not only afraid, he is more guilty of self-blame.

It was a living life, but died due to his negligence.

If he could have a deeper understanding of this era, if he could strengthen the fortifications of the farm, the head of the farm would not have died, and the farmers would not have been injured.

What he could have thought of, what he should have thought of.

It's his fault.

He retched again and again, his entire face flushed from vomiting, tears leaked from the corners of his eyes, and his face was pale.

Feng Erbi's heart was broken, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he couldn't help but signal Huo Yan with his eyes, asking him to think of a way.

Huo Yan didn't want to care about it at first, but it was obvious that Lou Yu was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, and said bluntly: "There are more people dying outside, you should learn to get used to it."

Feng Erbi glared at him, how could he speak!

But Lou Yu listened to it. He supported the wall, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to accept what happened now.

Human life, in the era he lived in before, was the most precious existence.

But in this world, they are like ants and mayflies, inconspicuous.

Lou Yu straightened up and said with red eyes, "Follow me to see the wounded."

Li Shu had already led people to clean up the "battlefield", and all the injured households were sent to the hospital. Chen Chuanbai directed a group of little radish heads, and was very busy.

Although those mischievous children were afraid and confused when they saw the wound at first, as time went by, almost all apprentices could calmly choose medicine, decoct medicine, clean and bandage the wound.

Some of the apprentices were the injured's own children.

Looking at these calm and calm children, they couldn't help but smile with relief, forgetting even the pain.

When Lou Yu arrived at the medical hall, the medical hall was noisy and busy, and Chen Chuanbai's voice of ordering and teaching could be heard from time to time.

But in order.

Those apprentices walked quickly among the wounded, applying medicine to them with pale faces.

Among them, Chen Chuanbai's grandson and Huo Qiong are the most eye-catching.

The two acted calmly, calmly, and cooperated with each other tacitly. The way of bandaging the wound was fast and good, which reminded Lou Yu of well-trained doctors and nurses.

When someone saw Lou Yu, regardless of the wound being bandaged, he knelt down and saluted.

Lou Yu waved his hand to excuse them, and personally expressed condolences to them.

Although those farmers were injured, they defended their homes and received His Highness's praise, and they were very happy in their hearts.

Lou Yu was infected by it, and the depression in his chest gradually dissipated.

When he left the hospital, his complexion had returned to its original state.

Back in the main courtyard, he summoned Yang Guanghuai and Li Shu.

"According to the farmer, it was Mr. Yang who commanded well this time, so that everyone could fight against the bandits together and wait for the rescue. Mr. Yang should take the lead."

Lou Yu knew the situation at that time, if Yang Guanghuai hadn't summoned the farmers in time to gather strength and used boiling water, lime, agricultural tools, etc. to resist the bandits, it is estimated that when they arrived, the farm would have been destroyed by the bandits, and the farmers would have died in the bandits under the butcher's knife.

Yang Guanghuai bowed and bowed, "Guanghuai is ashamed of what he has received, and he should not deserve this credit. If Zhuangtou hadn't bravely come out of the farm to confront the bandits, I would have been too late."

Lou Yu said: "Zhuangtou has meritorious service, and you also have meritorious service, so there is no need to refuse."

"Yes."

Lou Yu said again: "I also heard that that boy Ji'an dealt with the evil leader in public, and firmly restrained the evil leader, didn't he?"

Yang Guanghuai nodded and said, "Indeed."

He will not avoid suspicion because of his relationship with Yang Ji'an.

Everyone can see Yang Ji'an's bravery and fighting skills.

When everyone was exposed to the tyranny of Scarface, he was the only young boy who stood up and inspired other farmers.

In this battle, Yang Ji'an also made great contributions.

Lou Yu praised: "Ji'an is young and brave, and he is indeed a talent to be made."

Yang Guanghuai smiled.

He privately thought that Lou Yu was only fourteen years old, so he could convince so many people, making him even more extraordinary.

After discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, there is the issue of how to deal with refugees.

Li Shu had already interrogated the refugees, so he reported: "My subordinates have verified that there are bandits and civilians among these refugees, so we cannot generalize."

Definitely.

When Lou Yu and the others came, they only saw a few people charging into battle with Scarface, while the rest stayed behind and remained motionless.

There was also a young guy who raised a hoe to pick off the scarred head.

Of course, judging from Huo Yan's simple fighting theory, the young man would definitely not be able to succeed, and would even be killed by Scar.

That's why he shot an arrow from a distance and rescued Yang Ji'an and the young man from Scar's butcher's knife.

Li Shu continued:

"Most of these refugees came from Mianzhou. Dao Scar met them halfway. Before he joined the team, the refugees had never robbed. But after Dao Scar joined the team, he encouraged a group of bastards to be bandits and threatened the unarmed refugees. Take care of their food and daily life, and if anyone tries to escape, they will be killed."

Lou Yu asked, "Where did Scar get the iron knife?"

These are all controlled weapons.

"Some refugees have heard Scar brag, saying that when he was a bandit, he defeated a group of officers and soldiers, and the iron knife was his trophy."

"Since he is a bandit, why did he join the refugees and travel thousands of miles to Qingzhou?" Lou Yu asked.

Speaking of this, Li Shu couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't know where the scar came from. There is a Qingshi salt field in Gyeongju Prefecture, and there are only a few troops in Gyeongju. If he can gather a large number of refugees, break through Qingzhou Prefecture, and seize the Qingshi Salt Field, he can earn money." Take countless silver coins."

Feng Erbi couldn't help but said: "He won't just use this to fool those bastards into working for him?"

Li Shu nodded, looking a little psychedelic.

In his opinion, Scarface and his group of doglegs are nothing but a dream, and it really makes people don't know what to say.

Lou Yu frowned, the fall of Gyeongju in the book was due to the rebel army and salt workers.

But before the fall, who took the rebel army and the lowly salt workers seriously?

Ants can still kill an elephant, but if Li Shu and the others cannot get rid of their contempt, their arrogance may lead to catastrophe in the future.

He stared at Li Shu with sharp and calm eyes, until Li Shu felt something and gradually lowered his head, he asked:

"You think they can't do it?"

Li Shu nodded honestly, "They only have three or four hundred people, how can they break through the city?"

"But there will be more and more refugees. They will increase from three hundred to three thousand, and from three thousand to thirty thousand. However, the government soldiers have only been three thousand, and the garrison has always been only one thousand. At that time, you still think that the city can Can you hold it?"

Li Shu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter any rebuttal words.

He put away his contempt and said with shame: "This subordinate is at fault."

Lou Yu ordered: "Tomorrow at noon, all the people in the farm will be summoned to behead the evil head for public display. This matter will be handed over to Commander Li. Do you have any objections?"

Li Shu shuddered, he hadn't really killed anyone before, beheading is too scary!

But I just made a mistake, and now I can no longer disobey His Highness.

What's more, as the commander of the army, if he doesn't even dare to kill people, what's the use?

Thinking of this, he solemnly said: "This subordinate obeys orders!"

Lou Yu said again: "As for the supporters of the evil leaders, put shackles on them and let them go to reform through labor."

"Reform through labor?" Everyone looked up in doubt.

Lou Yu: "..."

It was easy to say for a while.

He explained without changing his face: "It means reform through labor, which means the same thing as ghost salary and Chengdan, but it is not limited to these two."

The crowd nodded in understanding.

Li Shu asked again: "How should the rest of the refugees be dealt with?"

Lou Yu thought for a while and said, "You send someone to ask them about their names, ages, genders, places of household registration, family conditions, whether they have any special skills, etc., and register them one by one in the register before submitting them to me."

Li Shu looked at Lou Yu stupidly, and said in shame, "Your Highness, can you say it again, I didn't remember it. Besides, our soldiers are all rough and can't write."

Lou Yu was as big-headed as he was, and was thinking about who would be suitable to entrust this matter to. Feng Erbi suggested at the right time: "Your Highness, Ah Zhi has studied with Mr. Yang for a few days, and he should have made some progress. He is idle now, why don't he let him go?" ?”

Lou Yu nodded in agreement, and then confessed: "By the way, for those refugees who have not done anything, first give them some food to fill their stomachs."

Yang Guanghuai suddenly said: "The farmers regard him as an enemy, what if they don't want to?"

He raised his handsome face and looked straight at Lou Yu with deep meaning in his eyes.

Knowing that he was testing himself, Lou Yu couldn't help cursing secretly, saying: "The farm is the private property of the royal family, and I have the right to dispose of it."

If he did anything, he had to explain the reason clearly to others, this son of Prince Qing might as well be inappropriate.

Yang Guanghuai laughed.

If Lou Yu was really coerced by some subtle emotions and thus gave up his original intention, it would be too indecisive.

It turns out that he thought too much.

After the meeting ended, Lou Yu summoned Yang Ji'an.

The child was thrown out by Scarface before, and his body was bruised in several places. He had already been medicated, and when he saw Lou Yu, he was still as lively as ever.

He flattered: "It's fortunate that His Highness arrived in time, otherwise the farm would have been destroyed by those villains!"

Lou Yu asked him to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Scar's face is so fierce, how dare you go up and fight him desperately?"

Yang Ji'an said: "I just thought that Zhuangzi has a master, a partner, and many innocent people. If that scarred face really rushed in, I'm afraid that more people will be injured or killed."

This is said plainly and sincerely.

Lou Yu looked at his big black and white eyes, and loved him even more.

He used to look at Yang Ji'an differently just because of the original book, but after getting along for so long, Yang Ji'an's character and talent really made people appreciate him more and more.

He asked, "How is your martial arts training?"

Yang Ji'an excitedly said, "I've managed to beat Commander Li for twenty tricks!"

Li Shu's martial arts could only be said to be ordinary at first, but after Huo Yan's teaching and the addition of Lou Yu's training ground, his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.

Being able to fight him for twenty strokes, Yang Ji'an's talent for learning martial arts and his own hard work can be seen.

Lou Yu had a heart of cherishing talent: "You have made great contributions to protecting the farm this time, is there anything you want?"

Yang Ji'an's eyes lit up: "Anything is fine?!"

"The premise is that I can do it." Lou Yu encouraged.

Yang Ji'an didn't even think about it: "I want to join the army!"

Lou Yu was taken aback, "Join the army?"

"I want to join the Fubing, I want to train with them in the camp, and I want to help His Highness do something."

There was a blazing light in the child's eyes.

Feng Erbi glanced at him, with such a small body, he really was going to enter the camp, and he would be bullied by those old men.

His Highness will definitely not agree.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of thought, Lou Yu would respond to this matter: "You can only start from the bottom when you first enter the camp, are you willing?"

Yang Ji'an jumped up happily: "I am willing!"

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing.

Some people are born generals and cannot be judged by common sense.He couldn't suppress the light of Yang Ji'an's genius just because he was still young.

Once such a natural warrior enters the military camp, he will be like a fish in water and will not be bullied.

Even if he is bullied, he will quickly find his way back.

But he was eccentric, and couldn't help but said to Yang Ji'an: "If Huo Yan is free, I can ask him to teach you more."

Yang Ji'an said crisply: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Leaving the main courtyard, the child ran to find Huo Yan.

Huo Yan couldn't let go of his nephew and niece, so he went home after the meeting.

After dealing with the injured farmer, Huo Qiong came back with blood on his hands, just in time to bump into the sharp-eyed uncle.

She subconsciously hid her hands behind her back, avoided her eyes, and showed a guilty conscience.

Huo Yan didn't say anything, but said bluntly: "Don't tire yourself out, go wash it up."

Huo Qiong nodded in surprise, and went to wash his hands briskly.

Just halfway through washing, I suddenly heard my uncle ask: "Aren't you afraid to see so much blood?"

Huo Qiong was surprised and asked back: "What's so scary about blood? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Her grandfather and father had suffered more serious injuries than these farmers, and she was used to seeing them.

Huo Yan couldn't help pulling the corner of his lower lip.

Thinking of Lou Yu's trembling hands, pale face and retching scene, he couldn't help but praise Huo Qiong: "Ah Qiong is very brave."

Huo Qiong bent his eyes, "Uncle is more brave!"

After she finished praising Huo Yan, she also praised Lou Yu Renshan.

In Cai Cai Medical Center, many farmers praised His Highness, saying that His Highness gave the Zhuangtou family a funeral and pension, and promised to support the Zhuangtou family in the future, which is really touching and reassuring.

With such a highness, they have no worries.

Huo Yan pushed back the messy hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "You really think His Highness is good?"

"Of course!" Huo Qiong nodded fiercely, "You don't know, not only did my brother and I not have enough food and clothing, but we were often beaten and scolded. If His Highness hadn't sent someone there in time, I would have been betrayed. The teacher of the teaching workshop."

Speaking of this, her eyes were flushed with tears in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "I thought I would never see my uncle again."

Huo Yan felt sore, and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I will not do it again."

Huo Qiong nodded, and the two hair buns jumped up and down.

She grabbed the corner of Huo Yan's clothes and asked quietly: "Uncle, I heard you talking to the uncles in Yangwu Mountain, do you want to go with them?"

Huo Yan asked back: "Are you willing to leave with my uncle?"

The little girl was at a loss: "Why did my uncle leave?"

They are slaves now, where else can they go?Besides, they might never meet a more benevolent master than His Highness.

Huo Yan asked again: "What if uncle must leave?"

Huo Qiong blinked and said hesitantly: "Then I will go with my uncle."

After saying that, his eyes showed worry.

Huo Yan couldn't help laughing, a rare smile appeared on his brows and eyes.

"Don't worry, uncle won't leave."

At least not yet.

Huo Qiong had a delicate mind, and felt that his uncle was a little different from before, so he couldn't help asking: "You just came back from His Highness, did His Highness say something happy?"

Huo Yan's eyes gradually darkened: "No."

He just felt that some mysteries seemed to be getting clearer.

If a person retches at the sight of blood and corpses, he is certainly not bloodthirsty and violent.

The old son of the past had a paranoid and sinister personality, and often beat him to pieces, so how could he be afraid of blood?

One will repel seeing violence and gore, while the other becomes more excited when he inflicts violence.

So divided, could it be the same person?

Huo Yan's intuition has always been keen.

Others thought that the inconsistency of Prince Qing's son was due to his disguise and acting, but he always had doubts in his heart.

The former Prince Qing's son had naked malice when facing him, and that kind of malice could not be disguised at all.

As for His Royal Highness, his generosity towards the people around him and his fear of blood are also not feigned.

What seems most unlikely is often the most likely.

—They are not the same person.

Such a conclusion makes Huo Yan feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

No one would be grateful to someone who once maliciously humiliated him, even if it might just be a disguise.

Huo Yan is proud, he can repay the other party, but he cannot offer loyalty wholeheartedly.

But what if they are two people?

He no longer has to fight between heaven and man, and serve others with a sense of guilt.

The uncle was lost in thought, showing strange expressions from time to time, and Huo Qiong couldn't help sighing when he saw it.

Did you still lie to her like this, treating her as a three-year-old child?

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a hasty knock on the door, Huo Qiong walked to the door, before he could speak, he heard Yang Ji'an's voice.

She hastily opened the door.

Yang Ji'an slid in like a loach, greeted Huo Qiong politely, and walked quickly towards Huo Yan.

"His Royal Highness agrees that I join the Fubing!"

Huo Yan raised his head slowly, "Oh."

As if a ladle of cold water was being poured, Yang Ji'an put away his smile and said with an expressionless face, "Your Highness said that you can teach me more martial arts when you have time."

Hmph, you have to listen to what your Highness says!

Huo Yan: "I haven't taught you enough?"

Ever since Lou Yu asked him to teach Li Shu, Feng Sanmo and others, he prided himself on being conscientious, and whenever he had free time, he would not hesitate to teach, but Lou Yu still thinks that he is not dedicated enough?

Yang Ji'an snorted, "Anyway, you have to teach me."

Huo Yan felt that he had been soft-hearted before, and he had to let this kid have a taste of what real teaching is.

In the days that followed, Yang Ji'an deeply realized what devilish training was, and screamed in pain all day long, no matter how much he begged for mercy, Huo Yan would not be moved.

After a night, the farm returned to peace.

At noon the next day, everyone in the farm, including soldiers and refugees, gathered in the square in front of the farm.

Scarface was tied up with a rope, and he knelt in front of the crowd with his head bowed.

He was stunned by lime, scalded by boiling water, and stabbed by bamboo arrows and harpoons, all of which made him miserable.

The farmers picked up stones and clods and threw them on him one after another, exhaling fragrance while smashing.

Lou Yu sat facing the scarred face, several feet away.

He could have not come, but let Li Shu beheaded.

But he still forced himself to look.

He didn't want to be a coward.

He wants to force himself to accept reality, to accept this bloody and chaotic world.

He had to get used to splattered blood and pale corpses.

It's noon.

Lou Yu raised his head to look at the high-hanging golden wheel, the dazzling light made him unable to close his eyes.

He heard himself order calmly: "Li Shu, execute."

Sen Leng's long knife reflected a sharp light, and the light flashed across Lou Yu's eyelids.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

A head jumped up under the sharp blade, it jumped high into the sky, and its ferocious face was facing Lou Yu, as if mocking Prince Qing's timidity and cowardice.

Lou Yu opened his eyes and stared at it firmly.

The bright red blood splashed in the sun, and a drop splashed on Lou Yu's cheek. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he tightly controlled his hands to wipe off the blood.

Huo Yan stayed beside him, taking all his emotions into his eyes.

His Royal Highness, who was still immature, was trying his best to force himself to watch a bloody killing. His hands were tightly clasped, and his knuckles were turning white.

A drop of blood made his eyelashes tremble inevitably.

The blood that was so red and black fell on the flawless white cheeks, trying to blacken the person who was originally as pure as white paper.

——This is undoubtedly a cruel defilement.

Huo Yan couldn't bear it, and raised his right hand lightly.

But at the next moment, His Royal Highness, who was immature, calmly pulled out a clean white towel, and gently wiped away the blood.

His eyelashes no longer tremble, his eyes no longer avoid, his knuckles no longer turn white.

He stared at the horrific scene of the corpse being separated, and said with a smile, "The bandit leader has been executed, and Zhuangtou's death has been avenged! On the day Zhuangtou is buried, this hall will personally see him off!"

But a small Zhuangtou can get such an honor!

For a moment, everyone's hearts became hot.

It's worth it to work for His Highness!

The farmers cheered for joy, but the kidnapped bandits were ashamed.

The refugees were uneasy. His Royal Highness acted so toughly, I was afraid that they would not have a good life in the future.

A Shenghong comforted everyone with eyes: "We didn't do anything bad, we won't be punished, and they gave us food to fill our stomachs yesterday, so we definitely won't let us starve to death. Since we won't die of starvation, there is nothing to be afraid of! "

The refugees think about it too.

If you really don't plan to control them, why send food over?

After the execution was over, Lou Yu returned to the main courtyard.

Li Shu came to report: "Your Highness, yesterday you ordered your subordinates to put those bandits in shackles. I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why? Are they disobedient?"

Lou Yu turned his face sideways, and Feng Erbi wiped it with a damp towel, and asked lightly.

Today Guanlou Yu acted, Li Shu felt even more in awe of him, and replied respectfully: "We don't have any shackles to use."

He only remembered it after he went back last night.

Only in the official prison, there are enough iron shackles.

And iron, like salt, is untouchable for private individuals.

Lou Yu paused, and said coldly: "Then tie them up first, as long as they don't starve to death."

Li Shu led the order to retreat.

After he left, Lou Yu sat in a daze for a long while.

Feng Erbi asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable, Your Highness?"

Lou Yu glanced at him silently, then vomited out with a wow.
