I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

The construction of the bridge quickly got the consent of the elders of Canghe County, which is originally a matter of benefit to the people. After the bridge is repaired, it will benefit the people for at least three to fifty years. What's more, there are people from the imperial army, and no one will disagree. .

After Xiao Minglou got the blueprint, he sent people to cut wood and build the bridge in the nearby forest that day. Even the villagers rushed over after hearing the news and volunteered to join the team of bridge repairers.

The area along the river is in full swing, and you can see shirtless men carrying logs and sweating everywhere, and you can even see pretty girls coming with baskets.

The folk customs in Canghe County are simple and open, and the girls' families are also generous and enthusiastic. Many young ladies can choose their own husbands and husbands, and boldly court any man they like, and they will never be coy.

I heard that the bridge was being built in the west of the city, and these little ladies made delicious food and sent it to the river. First, they were helping, and second, they had never seen so many men. When they met a man they liked, they would even take the initiative to talk to them.

Among them, Qi Chang always received the most food.

Compared with Xiao Minglou's elegant and unrestrained, Confucian general style, he still has a sense of indifference and alienation from a distance, which makes people hesitate and stop. The simple girls in the village still prefer those with fleshy muscles Qi Chang.

It seems that he has great strength, can work, and can support himself.

Xiao Minglou: "..."

But Qi Chang never accepted the kindness of those girls, and when he was tightly entangled, he would put on a cold face to scare them away.

Over the past few days, fewer and fewer young ladies approached Qi Chang, but there were still a few who refused to give up, and they still moved forward without fear of death with murderous eyes.

One day, Xiao Minglou was about to find Qi Chang for dinner, when he saw a handsome girl in a bright yellow dress stuffing a basket of snacks into Qi Chang's arms.

"Sorry." Qi Chang didn't move at all, his movements were as fast as electricity, and before the girl could react, he hung the basket on her arm again, "I can't take it."

"Why?" The girl's eyes were very surprised, she looked at Qi Chang, and then at the basket on her arm, with a very puzzled expression, "Does your lord think that my cooking is not delicious?"

Qi Chang shook his head, and said bluntly: "I already have a sweetheart, and I will never change my heart."

"Then... what if I am willing to be a concubine and not compete with your lord's sweetheart?" The girl bit her lower lip tightly and said expectantly.

Qi Chang continued to shake his head, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Since I am the one I love, I have all my heart, and I can't hold anyone else."

The girl was extremely disappointed, but Qi Chang had a firm attitude and knew that she was hopeless, so she had to leave dejectedly.

Xiao Minglou looked at the person not far away with complicated eyes, and his heart beat inexplicably fast.

Even though she sleeps on the same bed every day and has done more intimate things, her heart still beats because of Qi Chang's straightforward words.

Xiao Minglou noticed that his face was gradually heating up, and he thought, maybe even his internal fire has become vigorous, why does he blush every now and then?

Duan Youxue was standing beside Xiao Minglou. He was talking to his senior brother that the antidote was about to be developed, and wanted to win his senior brother's admiration.As a result, halfway through the speech, Xiao Minglou's attention was completely diverted to Qi Chang's side, and he didn't hear what he said at all.

He saw the change in Xiao Minglou's expression, and felt extremely sad for a moment.

However, Xiao Minglou turned his head and stared at him, suppressing his voice: "What are you looking at, don't tell Ah Chou what you just saw, do you hear me?"

Duan Youxue was stunned: "...Yes, senior brother."

This is a senior brother that Duan Youxue has never seen before. He would lose his composure and blush because of one person, showing the expression of a child.

After seeing so much, Duan Youxue was almost numb.

"Forget everything you saw." Xiao Minglou narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you see just now?"

Duan Youxue said fluently, "I didn't see anything."

It must have been infected by that sycophant named Wang Jun.

Unexpectedly, the mighty Qingyun Six Heroes, the little prince of the Fox Clan, and the undercover agent who had been hiding in the three great fairy gates and whose identity has not been discovered so far, would also be reduced to such a state.

"Very good!" Xiao Minglou patted him on the shoulder, "Junior brother Lao Lao continues to prepare the antidote, now you can go."

Duan Youxue walked towards her tent without looking back, for fear of seeing the scene that would almost blind her eyes again later.

"Master?" Qi Chang hadn't seen anyone yet, but he recognized Xiao Minglou from the sound of footsteps, turned around and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you have something to discuss with Mr. He?"

"We've finished talking a long time ago." Xiao Minglou tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, "It's time for dinner, why, you don't want to have dinner with me?"

"How could it be? It's a great honor to be invited by the lord." Qi Chang laughed, and looked at Xiao Minglou's face, showing some doubts, "But... the lord is not feeling well, why is his face a little red? ?”

"Is there?" Xiao Minglou rubbed his face guiltily, his eyes wandering, "No, it might be hot."

"Let me have a look." Qi Chang stretched out a hand naturally, and put it on Xiao Minglou's cheek, frowning slightly, "It's not normal, could it be a fever?"

Xiao Minglou was about to say no, when Qi Chang pinched Xiao Minglou's chin again, and looked closely.

If this gesture, this posture, were placed on someone else, I'm afraid it would have been misunderstood as molesting.

Xiao Minglou moved his neck uncomfortably, and the force on his jaw became heavier.

Qi Chang's eyes were deep, staring at him seriously.

"...Ah Chou, didn't you mean it on purpose?" Xiao Minglou finally couldn't help it, and there was a hint of sullenness in his eyes.

"Huh?" Qi Chang's expression didn't change, it was still that old-fashioned and serious expression, "What are you talking about, my lord?"

It's a pity that Xiao Minglou was guilty and didn't hear Qi Chang's slightly raised tone.

Just when Qi Chang was about to get close to the other party and close his soft lips, Duan Youxue's voice broke in abruptly.

"Brother..."

Xiao Minglou looked dissatisfied: "Didn't you be asked to go back? Why did you come back again? The antidote has been made?"

Duan Youxue was obviously deeply shocked. She blinked her eyes hard, but her eyes would continue to be stabbed. She simply shifted her gaze to the ground and said in a muffled voice, "It's not that I want to disturb you, but someone is looking for you."

He didn't want to see such a scene, okay? Not long after they left, the two were about to kiss each other!

The one looking for Xiao Minglou was Li Mo who had just returned from an investigation outside the city.

Whether he was lucky or not, not long after he left the city, he met a team of spies sent by Xueyan and arrested them all. However, he was poisoned and fell down as soon as he returned to the camp, scaring the soldiers. He hurriedly carried him to Duan Youxue's tent.

Fortunately, he was not deeply poisoned, and Duan Youxue had a semi-finished antidote in his hand. Although he couldn't completely detoxify it, he could detoxify more than half of it, and the remaining poison could be excreted from the body by drinking water and sweating.

However, due to being poisoned, Li Mo couldn't get out of bed for a while, so he had to let someone inform Xiao Minglou that he had something important to report.

After asking, Xiao Minglou got some terrible news from Li Mo——

The Blood Flame Army is coming towards Canghe County!

Is Xiao Minglou someone who has seen strong winds and waves, and as the chief general of an army, in front of all the generals, he calmly asked: "How long will they arrive in Canghe County?"

Li Mo: "Within half a month, ten days at the earliest."

All the generals couldn't help but gasped, because Xiao Minglou was on the spot, so they were astonished as they were, and they didn't lose their composure after all.

The Yong Bridge was at least five days away from being repaired. Even if it was repaired well, it was impossible for the army to abandon the people of Canghe County and cross the river selfishly.

The Blood Flame Army will not let the people here just because they have left Canghe County. It is no exaggeration to say that the place where the Heavenly Demon Army has gone has not even a blade of grass, and they have the bad habit of massacring cities.

Even if Canghe County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Xueyan concentrates on attacking, it may not be impossible to attack.Since ancient times, the people of Canghe County have been tough and have never compromised. It is simply impossible for them to surrender the whole city.

Canghe County will never admit defeat without fighting until the last moment.

At that time, there will be rivers of blood in Canghe County, and no one will survive.

"We must stay and help Canghe County get through this pass." Xiao Minglou slapped the table heavily.

If others lend them a bridge, even if it is out of morality, they should stay and defend the city.What's more, the Blood Flame Army was chasing after them. Even if they had already set their sights on Canghe County, if they hadn't run in this direction, Canghe County wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe for a while.

In fact, Xiao Minglou should have thought a long time ago that he had robbed Xueyan of so much food and grass. In order to feed the demon army under him, the other party had no choice but to rob others, and sooner or later he would also find Shang Canghe County.

"The top priority is to tell the elders of the city about this matter and let them complete the fortifications as soon as possible." Xiao Minglou sent people to the city to inform, and at the same time sent people to the place where the enemy spies were detained. No matter what method he used, he had to pry open The other party's mouth, write down the confession.

Two hours later, a stack of thick papers was placed on Xiao Minglou's desk.

"These are all the news dug out from the mouth of the spies." Wang Jun picked the most important things and said, "Not only are there many people led by Xueyan this time, there are even craftsmen among them, who can make siege weapons!"

It seems that the ambition of the magician Zang Li is not small. I am afraid that the gathering of the army this time is premeditated. In the name of destroying the imperial army, his goal is to destroy all the towns along the way.

Before, I thought that Canghe County had a geographical advantage, so it should not be difficult to resist, but now it seems that the situation may not be as optimistic as imagined.

Xiao Minglou pinched the center of his brows, his eyes were rarely anxious.

He put down the information submitted by Wang Jun, and rode his horse and Qi Chang to the east of the city to check the defense matters. Unexpectedly, the horse was startled by the stones thrown by it.

Thanks to Xiao Minglou's good riding skills, he tugged at the reins and said coldly, "Woo—"

After finally restraining the horse, someone in the crowd yelled at him: "It's all your fault! If the imperial army hadn't come here, how could the demons have followed their tracks and approached the city!"

The crowd was also mixed with the cries of women and children. The people looked at Xiao Minglou with strange and vigilant eyes, and even a little hatred. They were no longer warm and friendly as before. From their eyes, it could be seen that they were worried and afraid of the war. .

Xiao Minglou glanced at the man who yelled at him at first, silently cupped his fists at the crowd, then rode away on his horse and ran towards the city gate.

After inspecting the fortifications, Qi Chang found Xiao Minglou in the roof of a guard post with few people outside the city.

"Young Master." Qi Chang took off his battle robe and put it on Xiao Minglou, "Sitting at such a high place again, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Don't worry, I'm in good health now." Xiao Minglou turned his head and gave him a slight smile, "Are you here to comfort me? I just want to see the stars, I'm fine, and it's not like I haven't heard anything harsh. "

"If it's nothing, I won't smile so forcedly." Qi Chang frowned, and caressed his cool cheek with some distress.

Xiao Minglou narrowed his eyes: "You mean that I look ugly when I smile?"

"I do not have……"

"I see that you are facing me day and night all day, and you feel bored, don't you?" Xiao Minglou snorted, "This is starting to despise your young master."

Qi Chang sighed deeply, sat next to him, and put his arms around Xiao Minglou: "...Talking about him so carefully, it seems that he really cares about the words of those common people."

Xiao Minglou: "..."

"No matter what," Qi Chang looked at him tenderly, with a slightly slow gaze, "I'll still be with you."

"I know, we will never be separated." It is indeed inseparable.Xiao Minglou's heart warmed, and a smile appeared on his face.

The fate of the two of them has long been closely linked and inseparable.Although the oath ceremony has not yet been held, no one is more suitable than them to interpret the four words "be united forever".

They are not only monks and natal swords, but also swords and scabbards. Only when two people are together can they be a complete "one".

Xiao Minglou looked at the sky again, then reached out and squeezed Qi Chang's earlobe, his laughter was much lighter: "I am not sitting here to be sad alone, but to watch the stars at night." Xiao Minglou's smile flashed a scheming "Just in time, when you came, I thought of a plan."

He grabbed Qi Chang's skirt, wanting him to come closer, and quietly told him the plan.

But unexpectedly, when Qi Chang approached, he directly kissed his lips, swallowing everything Xiao Minglou wanted to say into his stomach.

... The army is about to overwhelm the country, and Vice General Qi still has the heart to do such a thing. General Xiao, who was breathless after being kissed, decided that if there is a next time, he must be served by military law!

As for this time... just let him go first.

Who made himself a general who loved the people like his son?

The author has something to say: Qi Chang: Love the people like a son?

Xiao Minglou: What kind of eyes do you have? I won't agree to play father and son with you!

Qi Chang: Young Master is thinking too much, I don't mean that, but if you are interested...

Xiao Minglou: Ah Chou, you have learned badly! !
