after being kidnapped by the general

After returning to the mansion, Chu Hechao sent someone to check whether there were people from Luoyang in Caiji's mansion.

Youzhou is very big, Jixian is not small, and there are Hu people coming and going, a few messengers from Luoyang will not attract attention at all.Today's world is not good, there are refugees fleeing everywhere between the borders, not to mention Ji County, even in the territory of Wu Shanshi, the governor of Yizhou, or the territory of King Chen Liu, they don't know that every day they are in their own territory. Who are the people who come and go in the world, and where they come from.

From today's incident, Yuanli saw a big loophole.

Chu Palace's control over Youzhou is too low.Chu Wang and his wife stayed in Luoyang for a long time and did not return to Youzhou for a long time. Chu Hechao was stationed in the northern border and rarely returned to Youzhou once.Although Chu Mingfeng is smart, but he is not physically strong enough, and he is thousands of miles away, so he has intentions and powerlessness.

Without a single master, Youzhou has been deserted for more than ten or twenty years, and the power of the Chu Palace is no match for the powerful local landlords.

That does not work.

Today is another day of secret work by Hu people, and another abnormality of Cai Ji, which makes Yuanli's vigilance suddenly arise.

Who knows how many monsters, ghosts and snake spirits are still in Youzhou?

We should check the bottom of Youzhou little by little, so that we can really firmly control Youzhou.

However, Yuanli's Grain Institute has just been established, and it is impossible to immediately cultivate a complete intelligence organization.

They didn't eat much at Cai Ji's banquet, and when they returned to the mansion, both of them with big appetites were hungry.Tell the kitchen to order food quickly, and the two sat in the dining room to eat.

While eating, Yuanli was still thinking about something.His forehead was suddenly flicked, and when he looked up, Chu Hechao said in a deep voice, "Eat."

The mouth is stern, but still can't help laughing, there is no arrogance and coldness when they first met, and they are happy like a fool.

Yuan Li obediently responded and began to eat.He eats a lot, more than many people, but Chu Hechao eats more than him, and he eats very quickly, and a bowl of rice will be eaten up in a while.

Seeing him eating so fast, Yuan Li stretched out his chopsticks to stop his chopsticks, "Don't eat so fast, it's not good for your health."

Chu Hechao raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks and leaned against the back of the chair, and glanced at Yuanli with a half-smile, a little angry, "So you're starting to control me?"

Yuan Li watched him silently for a while, then put back his chopsticks and buried himself in his meal, ignoring him.

After a while, the hand that was placed under the table was quietly held by the man, and squeezed again. Chu Hechao whispered in his ear: "All right, all right, I'll let you take care of it."

After eating, the two went for a walk together.

The manor has a large area and many forests.A lake was dug on the south side. The lake was full after the rain fell a few days ago, and many lotus leaves grew on the lakeside, but the lotus flowers were still hidden in the buds, and there were many koi swimming in them.

When they were in front of people, Yuan Li and Chu Hechao were very serious, not to mention being polite, and there was still a distance of one person between them when they walked, and they put on as much air as they could.When he walked into the woods and blocked everyone's sight, Yuan Li was hugged by a man.

Chu Hechao wrapped his arms around his waist, his temperature was hot, and said, "Give me a kiss."

Yuan Li liked to kiss him very much, so he raised his head to greet him.

In the woods, some birds hid on the branches and chirped. They looked at them for a while, and then lowered their heads to peck their own feathers.

The trunk shook a few times, and the leaves fell, covering one end.

Chu Hechao took off the leaves from Yuanli's head and smiled, his voice was hoarse than usual, with a heart-pounding smell, "Yang Zhongfa said it's good to have a wife, I didn't think it was good before, but now You know it."

He doesn't know the difference between kissing a woman and a man, but he knows what it's like to kiss his sweetheart, and his heart is clamoring, this feeling will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Chu Hechao's heart was so full that it was about to overflow, and he couldn't stop.

The hair of the young man leaning against the tree was a little messed up, and the crown of his hair would not fall off. His face was flushed, but his eyes were bright and energetic. Chu Hechao's mouth was a little dry when he saw it.

The man bowed his head and kissed him twice more.Yuan Li's lips were sticky, and his breath smelled like two people.

Dazed by the kiss, Chu Hechao coaxed again in a low voice: "Open your mouth and let me in."

Yuan Li pushed the person and said no, "Didn't you notice? You poked me."

They were all young people, and Yuan Li himself felt a little dry.

But he has never been in a relationship and has seen Zhu Run. They just confirmed their relationship on the first day, and the kiss was already very fast.

Yuan Li felt that they still had to proceed step by step.

Chu Hechao said: "I didn't find it."

Yuan Li glared at him, feeling that he was really not ashamed.The man smiled and grabbed his hand and pulled it towards himself.

The leaves fell even more, and the few birds that watched the crowds flapped their wings and flew away, circling over the forest.

Frogs croaked, and small flying insects flew around making trouble.

In the evening of late spring, the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, but the people under the tree were sweating all over.Yuanli was tired and couldn't help but pinch it.

The man leaning on the tree with his eyes closed furrowed his thick brows and groaned in pain.

Yuanli looked at his face.

Sweat slid off, his handsome face turned into a sexy and forbearing look, his jaw tensed.

Yuanli looked away, feeling his heart beating a little faster.

Chu Hechao opened his eyes, and laughed angrily, "So bad?"

Yuan Li pulled out her hand and wiped him rudely a few times.The man's expression after being satisfied was very contented, and he didn't care. He took a handkerchief and cleaned himself up and dealt with the surroundings hastily, then took Yuanli's hand and continued to walk by the lake.

When passing by a few willow branches that were about to hang down to the green willows on the lake, Yuan Li couldn't help but reached out and plucked a long branch, and drummed in his hand, "I'll tell you something."

Chu Hechao also picked a root and bit it in his mouth, with a lazy energy all over his body, "Speak."

"Do you still remember the way I said earlier to arrange the wounded soldiers?" Yuan Li asked.

Chu Hechao nodded, with the grass dangling in his mouth, "Remember. Because of you placing the wounded soldiers, the soldiers will fight so hard when they follow me to fight Huyan Wuzhu."

Yuan Li pursed his lips and smiled, "I said before that wounded soldiers have many functions, one of which is to send them to the bottom to control every corner of Youzhou from the bottom."

This is equivalent to the reemployment of disabled soldiers.

Of course, they can not only go deep into the grassroots as information collectors, but also become village chiefs or small officials. Yuanli will teach them literacy and knowledge, and he also hopes that these disabled soldiers can teach these knowledge from the grassroots. common people.

Yuan Li didn't expect the common people to learn any great knowledge, but he hoped that the common people could start to read, even if it was "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven".

This is an ambition that Yuanli has never told anyone.

He wanted to break the academic monopoly of the scholars over the people, to open up the wisdom of the people, to change the examination system into an imperial examination system, to give the people a chance to jump the ladder, and to make those scholars who don't care about human life lose their privileges.

But the goal is to come slowly.

He continued: "There are many barbarians in Youzhou, and most of them have married and had children with the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and integrated into the Northern Zhou Dynasty. These people cannot be expelled from Youzhou. In addition, I want disabled soldiers who were not seriously injured to mix in, and probe from bottom to top, so as to slowly check out people with doubtful identities in the entire Youzhou."

"And there's this matter about Cai Ji," Yuan Li sighed, the wicker in his hand had already been woven into a grass ring, he raised his hand and put the grass ring on Chu Hechao's head, and said worriedly, " You see, Cai Ji may have known some news from Luoyang, but we, a general and governor of Youzhou, don’t know anything.”

Chu Hechao was handsome and full of masculinity, and he was a little funny after wearing a grass ring full of green leaves.The corner of his mouth twitched, and he took off the grass ring and put it on Yuanli's head, "There are also people from us in Luoyang."

Yuan Li's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Who is it?"

Chu Hechao glanced at him, and lazily said: "Why tell you?"

Yuanli: "..."

He turned away.

Chu Hechao came up with a few strides, put his arm around Yuan Li's shoulder and laughed, "Are you angry?"

Yuan Li had a straight face, serious and unsmiling.

Chu Hechao stood up, looked around and saw no one, so he hugged Yuanli from behind, with his broad back bent, his chin resting on Yuanli's shoulder, and coaxed in a low voice, "Yes!" Are you kidding me to be angry again?"

His breath sprayed on Yuanli's face and neck, Yuanli's goosebumps rose instantly, and he couldn't pretend to be angry, so he couldn't help laughing, turned his head, and tried his best to avoid his head, "It's too itchy Come on, get up quickly."

Chu Hechao chuckled twice, and kissed him on the neck.

At night, the man had some stubble, which was itchy and painful.

The grass ring on his head was crooked and about to fall off, but Chu Hechao grabbed it and put it on Yuanli's head again.

Yuan Li suddenly looked at Chu Hechao seriously, "I want to see you wear it."

Chu Hechao's eyelids twitched, pretending he didn't hear it, "What?"

"Wear a grass ring," Yuan Li smiled, and said with a disappointed expression: "When you were in the county guard's mansion, you still told me to give me what I wanted..."

A vein popped out of Chu Hechao's forehead. After a while, he said patiently, "Bring it."

The young man, who was still disappointed at first, laughed instantly, and was not satisfied with tidying up the grass ring, so he hurriedly picked a few red, yellow and yellow wild flowers from the roadside and pinned them on the grass ring.

Chu Hechao watched as more and more flowers grew on the grass ring, and swallowed his anger.

Finally, Yuanli was satisfied, and put the wreath on Chu Hechao's head.

At this time, the man calmed down instead, staring at Yuanli, "Happy?"

Yuanli nodded.

Chu Hechao felt relieved, he rubbed Yuanli's hand, and smiled faintly, "Is it happier to be my daughter-in-law than Chu Mingfeng's wife?"

Yuan Li said: "Actually, Chu Mingfeng and I..."

Chu Hechao frowned, his smile disappeared, and his expression was gloomy, "Don't mention him to me."

Yuanli: "..."

Chu Hechao touched Yuanli's face and calmed down, "Okay. I don't care about him anymore, and you don't want to think about him. From now on, he will be either your last husband or your elder brother. Come on, bow your head and follow him." The people in the field called Big Brother."

Yuan Li thought he was joking, but Chu Hechao's expression was very serious. After thinking about it, he decided to make the man happy. He said sorry to Chu Mingfeng in his heart, and bowed his head and shouted, "Brother."

Chu Mingfeng, I'm sorry.

I seem to have broken your brother.

But I was also bent.

Are we even?

Chu Hechao was happy, he stroked Yuanli's neck, and kissed him again, "Good boy."

Yuan Li was so kissed that he was sweating again, and the saliva in his mouth was gone.He blinked slowly, and pushed the man away, "There is still something to say. If there are people like us in Luoyang, will you send us news when something big happens?"

"Yes," Chu Hechao was a little careless. He thought for a while, "Although my father is not involved in the government, many of his colleagues are in the court. Chu Mingfeng also has many followers. I will definitely send someone to tell me about it.”

Yuan Li was thoughtful, "Maybe it has been passed on to you now, but they thought you were in the northern border and sent the news to the northern border."

Chu Hechao was very calm, "Don't worry, just wait for the news. As for the matter you said about sending wounded soldiers to the bottom, I believe you can make arrangements and do what you want."

The two of them took a walk for half an hour.After circling the lake in a circle, I walked out of the woods slowly.

After leaving the forest, the hands of the two people loosened, and there was a gap in the middle where one person could stand.

Yuan Li clenched his fists, palms wet with sweat.

He looked at Chu Hechao from the corner of his eye, and the man seemed to be aware of it, and looked towards him.

The eyes of the two sides collided, and Chu Hechao pulled his lips and smiled.

In the manor, their rooms are next door.When the two walked towards the room, they saw Yuan Dan standing in front of Yuanli's door anxiously pacing from a distance.

Yuan Li felt strange, walked two steps faster, and called out, "Wen Han?"

Seeing them coming back, Yuan Dan was overjoyed, stepped forward two steps quickly and held Yuan Li's hand, excitedly said: "Le Jun, you are finally back!"

Chu Hechao glanced at their intertwined hands, and withdrew his eyes as if he hadn't seen them.

Yuan Li patted Yuan Dan's hand reassuringly, and asked calmly, "Don't worry, what happened?"

"It's a good thing! It's a good thing!" Yuan Dan blushed, and his words were a little fluttering, which showed that he was excited to a certain extent, "Cui Yan made a crossbow! The crossbow can fire continuously, and its firepower is much greater than that of a bow and arrow! "
