Those who followed Zhou Ming were elite soldiers.

The number of Shu troops who broke into the Lu Mansion was not large.

Soon, the Shu army inside and outside the courtyard was cleaned up.

In the rockery in the distance, at the beginning, I heard the sound of the Shu army scolding and fighting, but now I can't hear it, and I think it was all subdued by Yudong.

A few people in the kitchen yard wanted to come out.

Zhou Ming and Yuxiu were still standing at the gate of the courtyard, the two of them were relatively speechless, but their eyes flowed, and everyone was afraid that they would be held hostile by Zhou Shizi if they disturbed.

The people inside and outside the courtyard couldn't help but look at Luo Ping, the heroes and beauties looked very eye-catching, but they couldn't wait here, hurry up and wake up the prince.

Luo Ping lowered his head, trying to pretend that he didn't understand what everyone meant. Why, he is always asked to be the person who beats the mandarin ducks? But everyone's eyes are too hot, and a person with a keen sense like him really can't pretend not to know.

He glared at everyone with a bitter face: Why am I the one who came out?

Back then, Dongping Village said goodbye to the scenery once, and then he was kicked by the prince to train the army. Later, the prince had a beautiful night party, and he sincerely reminded the prince that time was running out, and then he was pulled to the grain transportation team.

This time he makes this head again, will the prince throw him into Shu and not let him come back?

The other soldiers ignored his pain and snorted at the courtyard gate, with an obvious meaning: Who made you the personal attendant close to the prince?

Under the stares of everyone, he still had to cough and said loudly, "Lord Shizi, the Shu army here has all been cleaned up." ”

Zhou Ming and Yuxiu were woken up by this call, Yuxiu shy retracted her hand a little shyly, and wanted to pull it out, Zhou Ming subconsciously tightened, wanting to tighten the little hand in his hand, and thinking that it was indecent to be seen, he hurriedly let go again.

Yuxiu pulled out her hand, heard the movement behind her, and thought of Hong Bo and Liu Wu, Qian Chang and Zhao Quansheng helped one over.

"How is Uncle Hong?

"The catkins' shoulder blade is broken, and we have to find a doctor to pick it up. Humber didn't know how it hurt, he had to be seen. Zhao Quansheng replied.

The catkins leaned on his shoulder, his face was pale, and cold sweat continued on his forehead.

"Go to the front yard and find a place for them to lie down first. Yuxiu hurriedly led the way and found a place to settle Hong Bo and Liu Wu.

There was a panic in the city, Zhou Ming asked the general doctor to call the injured man, turned to Yuxiu and said, "There is still a Shu army in the city, you stay here and don't go out, I will leave a team of people here." ”

Yuxiu nodded and whispered a word of caution.

Zhou Ming's eyebrows immediately brightened, and he boasted, "Don't worry, those Shu troops are not my opponents!"

Yuxiu saw that he had a somewhat smug expression, smiled and nodded in agreement.

As soon as the Shu army rushed into Runzhou, it had no foothold at all, and was killed by the 100,000 elite soldiers of Yongding who rushed in later.

King Teng didn't know how many reinforcements had arrived for a while, and when he heard the news that Hong Dian had been killed by Yan Yudong, he stomped his feet with hatred. But the city couldn't suppress the situation, so it could only retreat first.

The Shu army and the Yongding reinforcements fought in Runzhou City for several hours, and the Shu army finally slowly withdrew from the city.

Zhou Ming only brought 100,000 reinforcements, and the baggage of the army was behind, so he did not dare to pursue rashly, and first sent troops to rectify the defense of Runzhou.

At night, the city of Runzhou is brightly lit again. Unlike last night, tonight there were people mourning the killing of their loved ones, and some people celebrating their escape. In the original defenders, Qi Shi and Captain Lu were seriously injured, and they both left a life.

Yudong helped count the number of defenders, the original 1,000 defenders, plus the tens of thousands of people who were temporarily recruited, in the end, only about 100 people survived.

Fortunately, after the city of Runzhou was broken, the reinforcements led by Zhou Ming followed the Shu army into the city, and the Shu army was beaten by the reinforcements before they had time to wreak havoc in the city. Therefore, the women and children in the city escaped the catastrophe.

Zhou Ming sent people to settle the wounded soldiers, and sent his troops back to urge the army behind to come as soon as possible.

In the city of Runzhou, no one is in charge. Zhou Ming could only temporarily take charge of the affairs, appease the people, and rectify the defense.

When the city was cut off for a day's food, he took out the food brought by the army and distributed it to the city for emergency relief, and sent people to the surrounding villages and towns to buy food for emergency relief.

After finishing this, Luo Ping took the account book to report the payment for the purchase of grain, and by the way, he said, "Lord Shizi, the little one went to the kitchen gate to see it, and that's all left." ”

Luo Ping said and took out a few pieces of black lumps, and after wiping the black ash, they turned out to be gold and silver nuggets.

"Nothing else?"

"Master, it's really gone, the small ones even knocked open the scorched wood and looked at it, and the other beads or something, without burning. ”

Luo Ping received the order in the afternoon, and quietly went to the kitchen gate of the Lu Mansion, and pulled out the few brocade boxes of carbon ash that Yuxiu burned out little by little, to see if there was anything left inside.

For this, he directly swept up the pile of charcoal wood and checked it little by little.

Actually, Luo Ping is also very curious, the prince has sent things to Dongping Village this year, he knows everything, and he is also curious about what is in the box. Now look at the leftover of the burn, there are paper ashes in it, and these gold and silver lumps, and some pearls, but unfortunately they are burned by the fire and cannot be seen.

Could it be that the prince sent love letters, love poems, and gold, silver and jewelry? Luo Ping was a little disappointed, the prince was so cheesy.

Zhou Ming didn't care what he thought, looking at the gold and silver bumps on the table, his flesh hurt again. Those boxes are all his private rooms over the years.

At the beginning, I thought that if I married Yuxiu, the girl would marry, and the dowry would be an important face.

When the Yan family's brothers and sisters both died, how much production could be produced on that little land in Dongping Village? When he first saw Yuxiu, in the Jingwang Mansion in Mingzhou, Yuxiu calculated the rewards of the Liu family and Ruyi, and they were all happy. He didn't care about Yuxiu's dowry, but thinking about the gossip he heard, it was said in the capital that people married daughters, and they all married how much dowry.

He didn't want Yuxiu to lose face, so he thought that he would choose his private house and the rewards he had saved over the years to be seen by others, and go to Dongping Village a little bit privately.

When Yuxiu and Lu are in the future, he will ask for marriage, and then tell Yuxiu what is in the box, and then directly let her put those things into the dowry, won't everything be fine?

Although he is the son of the king, the palace of the king is very strict with his children, and it is not easy for him to save this private house.

Later, Zhou Ming knew that the Yan family's fat powder workshop had a good business, but a box of fat powder only sold for a few taels of silver, and he thought that he might not be able to earn a few thousand taels a year. Yuxiu values her family very much, and she must first save money for her brother and sister to marry her daughter-in-law and dowry, and how much she has for herself.

Poor son, people are smart, but they don't know how to do general affairs, so they don't know that Yuxiu's net worth is much richer than him.

Zhou Ming felt sorry for the money he had privately given to Yuxiu, and it was all burned. If you want to save a dowry for Yuxiu, you have to hide it from King Cheng and Princess Cheng, wouldn't you have to save for a long time?
