65. Garrison
It's dark over there, and Lou Zishang here is being pressed into his arms by Quan Xiao and making a lot of trouble, and his face is flushed with laughter, "Okay, Quan Xiao, don't make trouble, hahahaha...... It's so itchy. ”
"Huh? Do you dare next time? Do you dare? The power owl hugged him very tightly to prevent him from falling, his lips were close to his ears, and his hands were scratching all over his body, all in sensitive spots, "The guts are fat?!" ”
Lou Zisheng was almost out of breath when he smiled, like a fish on a chopping board, gasping intermittently, "Quan Xiao, I was wrong, wrong, Rao...... Spare me. ”
His tears of laughter were about to come out, and he looked at Quan Xiao sadly, he really knew that he was wrong, and he shouldn't have nothing to recruit him.
"Spare you this time." Quan Xiao kissed the sweat on his forehead, raised his eyebrows and smiled and stroked his back, "Gasp, don't breathe." ”
Lou Zishang smiled and got up to glance at him, and then muttered, "I'm afraid you're still ...... if I'm angry."
Quan Xiao looked at him with a smile, Lou Zishang was a little weak-hearted, and poked Quan Xiao's face and said, "Am I wrong?" ”
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, his hand lightly swiped on Quan Xiao's face, one stroke at a time, and carefully looked at the image of the tiger that was combined, Quan Xiao saw that he was playful, and bit his fingertips, "Next time, dare to take ink to paint, see how I clean you up." ”
He patted Lou Zisheng's buttocks hintly, Lou Zisheng's face turned red and coughed lightly, hugged his neck and said, "Isn't it just this time." ”
"Besides, you didn't stop me." He poked Quan Xiao's face with a smile, "Didn't you feel it?" ”
"It's rare for a lady to be so childlike, how can a husband not make you happy?" Quan Xiao pinched his face, and the more he was with Zishang, the more he realized how cute this stupid thing was.
Lou Zishang smiled embarrassedly and coughed lightly, he also saw that Quan Xiao's upright and strict appearance suddenly came to his mind, and he wanted to try it, who knew that Quan Xiao would be left to him, and his heart was warm, "How is it handled?" ”
"It's fine." Quan Xiao kissed his heart and said, "It's just Jiangnan recently...... I'm just afraid of chaos. ”
Lou Zishang frowned, "You mean...... Is there a tax in Gangnam? ”
"Clever!" Quan Xiao smiled sarcastically, rubbed his hand lightly on his stomach, he had just eaten some snacks, afraid that he would not be able to digest it and sleep well at night, "Most of the officials in Jiangnan are from Quan Yu's line, and the annual taxes are getting heavier and heavier, but the weather is not very good this year, and the people are panicking, but the taxes are getting heavier and heavier, Quan Jing didn't expect them to dare to ...... even if he only knew some."
Lou Zishang was also helpless, but he was a little puzzled, "It's strange to say, this tax is getting heavier and heavier year by year, and I haven't seen it brought to Beijing, Jiangnan is rich, and this money is enough to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses in the north, only a lot more...... Where's all the money, you say? ”
Quan Xiao handed him a fold, hugged him from behind, leaned his chin on his shoulder and raised his eyebrows, "Zishang, you see, in the past two years, there have been frequent reports that some villages in the south of the Yangtze River have contracted the plague, and in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the capital has sent many imperial doctors, but every time they ...... Don't you think it's strange that the plague is dead by strong men? ”
Quan Xiao didn't say that Lou Zishang really didn't notice it, he picked it up and saw that it was really the case, and couldn't help frowning, "The plague should also be the old people and children, how come these villages, the children, women and children are not yet strong and sick, which is extremely inconsistent with what was reported in the past, and the court's pension is not less." ”
Quan Xiao chuckled lightly and took out another fold, "I sent someone to investigate this and reported it to the capital...... Hum! ”
Quan Xiao sneered, "The Ruan family in Jiangnan covers the sky with one hand, can His Majesty the Emperor see the true face?" Look at this, although Jiangnan is rich, not all are rich, there are not a few poor people under exploitation, and the people who are not clothed can not be counted, and in recent years, many men in Jiangnan villages have gone out, although they have not returned home for the New Year, but the life at home is also a lot better. ”
"It's weird." Lou Zishang wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "There are not a few people who say that outsiders come to Jiangnan to do business and make a fortune, but the waterways in Jiangnan are wide, and there are very few people who go out, and even if they go out, why don't they go home for a few years, and they don't even look at their children when they have money?" One word and two years can be understood, but these three or five years ......"
Lou Zishang only felt that something flashed from his mind, but he couldn't catch it, looking at the smile on Quan Xiao's face, he poked Quan Xiao's cheek and couldn't help laughing, "You must know, tell me about it." ”
"Zishang is so smart, she wants to go." Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and after a while, he said with bad intentions, "It's not impossible for me to sue you, it's just ......"
His eyes swept back and forth on Lou Zishang's body, Lou Zishang's face was red and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he took those brochures and looked at them, but his brows were more and more wrinkled, these strong laborers disappeared from some remote villages, presumably it took a long time for Quan Xiao to send someone to investigate, he looked at it slowly, his heart was shocked, and he didn't show it, but he carefully looked at the horseshoe nails made privately by a few iron shops in Jiangnan......
A large amount of silver, young and strong laborers, horseshoe nails...... Lou Zishang raised his head suddenly, and said in disbelief, "Quan Yu is actually raising soldiers privately?" ”
Quan Xiao nodded, pinched the tip of his nose and sneered, "Clever! It's just that I really didn't expect him to have such courage. ”
Millions of silver every year, the strong men who keep disappearing, Lou Zishang shook his head slowly, "Is he crazy?" How many soldiers have to be stationed here, and privately stationing soldiers, even the prince is a capital crime......"
"It looks like a lot, but it's not much." Quan Xiao kissed his forehead, "Training requires troops, Jiangnan is a horse and a flat river, and there are very few mountains, and with the ability of Quan Yu's subordinates, how many literati will recruit some Jianghu forces at most, and the place is insufficient, so Quan Yu's soldiers are just afraid of ......"
Lou Zishang took over and sneered, "Quan Yu is afraid of the strength of the generals of Dingguo, even if Quan Jing has a testament, he is not at ease, he is afraid that the generals will support the army and rebel, and he is even more afraid that the emperor will ...... The edict was not as he wished. ”
"That's right." Quan Xiao smiled indifferently, "Quan Yu must want some vanguard troops and heavy armoured troops for training, with strong combat effectiveness, it seems that he has been preparing for many years." ”
This is definitely a big threat, Lou Zishang frowned, "Can you find out where it is placed?" ”
Quan Xiao shook his head, rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry, although it hasn't been found out now, but such a big military supply will always show flaws." ”
"You've got a big heart." Lou Zishang shook her head helplessly, how could she not worry? Quan Yu's army must have been prepared for a long time, Jiangnan is all their territory, and when the time comes, if one is not careful, the entire Jiangnan will be lost, even if Quan Yu ascends the throne, the people will not be able to make a living.
"If you worry about it, you can find it." Quan Xiao kissed him funny, "What's more, after so many years, if I keep in mind it, my hair will not be all white." ”
Also, Lou Zishang chuckled, "But this is a confidant's wedding, and it must be removed as soon as possible." ”
Quan Xiao sighed, it is true, if such a large force is not eradicated, there will be endless troubles, Lou Zishang frowned, "What Lou Rui left behind is mostly some accounts, which has nothing to do with this matter." ”
"The Ruan family has done it carefully, so I won't let him know about it." Quan Xiao hugged him and got up and walked inside, "Okay, don't think about it, let it be, ...... in the future"
I'm afraid I have to go to Jiangnan in person.
Quan Xiao didn't say it, but Lou Zishang felt it, and suddenly said loudly, "I'll go too." ”
"What are you going to do?" Quan Xiao put him on the couch, took off his soft shoes, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Stay in Beijing well, Jiangnan is in chaos now, it's not the time for you to go." ”
"Quan Xiao!" Lou Zishang frowned, "What are you hiding from me?" ”
Quan Xiao smiled, pressed the person under him and kissed him with his frowning brows, "I am with you every day, where is there anything to hide from you, besides, can the priest go out of Beijing casually?" Or with me? ”
Is this really hard to do?! The emperor would not agree, Lou Zishang couldn't help but be a little depressed, but Jiangnan is Quan Yu's territory, it is too dangerous, he lowered his eyes and didn't look at Quan Xiao, and thought about it secretly.
Quan Xiao sighed secretly, he shouldn't have sued him, but if he didn't say it now, he was afraid that he would be more worried in the future, so he reached into the placket of Louzi's clothes and kneaded his waist, "Think about it so much, you see that I don't say that I can leave Beijing now, and I have to plan well when I go there, right?" ”
This is reasonable, Lou Zishang suddenly brightened, Quan Xiao is not able to go if he wants to, he can not have a little sign by his side every day, when the time comes...... Sighing and chuckling, he kissed Quan Xiao's face, "That's what I said, I don't want to be so much now, do you have enough people over there?" ”
"Don't worry, they all started cultivating ten years ago." Quan Xiao said and frowned, "When you have time, you will also record those officials under me, as well as those secret stakes......"
"Don't remember!" Lou Zishang interrupted Jean without hesitation, glared at him angrily and said, "You are by my side, what do I remember him doing?!" ”
"Let me taste it, is this mouth smeared with honey?" The power owl who said this was in a good mood, and he kissed him hard, but in the end, he still pressed his forehead and said in a dumb voice, "Zishang is obedient." ”
Lou Zishang turned his head and didn't speak, he felt very uncomfortable, he knew what Quan Xiao meant, Quan Xiao was afraid that if something happened to him, he didn't know about these forces and couldn't do anything...... I was even more afraid that Quan Yu would do something to him at that time, and the power of the Lou family in his hands was not enough, so Lou Zi's nose was sour and turned around and ignored him.
"Zishang." Quan Xiao hugged him from behind and kissed his neck and smiled, "Is this a temper tantrum with the prime minister?" Well? My son has always had a very good temper, how about listening to his husband this time? ”
"Why are you talking about this?" Lou Zishang gave him an elbow, "Will you leave me?" ”
Quan Xiao broke his face and kept kissing lightly, "Where do you want to go, I'm just afraid that one day...... If I can't be busy alone and need help, and someone else will share some of it, whether the concubine lives in the deep palace, there are some things that are still not good for him to know, not to mention ......"
Quan Xiao doted on the tip of his nose, "I have to prepare for my future queen, there are some things that can't be known to her, are you right?" ”
That's true, Lou Zishang hugged his neck and looked at him suspiciously, could it really be that he was thinking too much? But in the future, the situation is unstable, and there must be so many forces under the power of the power lord must be very tired, how can he watch him busy alone, only the more he knows, the more he can help him.
Lou Zishang looked at him fixedly, Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the romance was fully displayed in the dim light, and he was seductive in a flash, "You still can't believe me?" ”
That's it, no matter what, he will always follow the power owl, Lou Zishang chuckled and nodded, "Listen to you." ”
"That's good."
"What about the kids?!" Lou Zishang patted him on the chest, and he couldn't help but touch it again, and after a long time, he looked up and saw Quan Xiao looking at him with a smile, "Zishang is still satisfied?" ”
Lou Zishang coughed lightly, blushing and looking to the side, Quan Xiao pressed lower and lower, and the burning breath sprayed on the side of his ears, Lou Zisheng's breathing was a little unsteady, he turned his head slightly, the lips of the two were lightly touched, and they couldn't help but be stunned, Quan Xiao grabbed his neck and was about to kiss him, when suddenly Yuande's soft voice came from outside, "Master, are you resting?" ”
"Leave him alone!" Quan Xiao was a little irritable, and Lou Zishang nodded a little confused.
"Master, slaves are in a hurry."
Quan Xiao gasped and shouted, "Rest!" ”
"Not yet!" Lou Zishang said hurriedly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he glared at Quan Xiao and said, "Yuande is not a person who has no sense of proportion, so don't make trouble." ”
Quan Xiao sighed lightly, lifted the brocade quilt and hugged Lou Zi's clothes tightly, "Come in." ”
Yuan De trembled after coming in, and Quan Xiao said gloomily, "Hurry up." ”
Yuande knew that he had come at the wrong time, and he had disturbed the good things of the prince, so he had to withstand this coercion, Lou Zishang couldn't stand it, and secretly scratched the palm of the power owl, and said softly, "Yuande, you have something to say slowly, don't panic." ”
"Master." Yuan De's heart was relieved, and he felt that the prince was not staring at him and hurriedly said, "Princess Kang asks to see you." ”
"Princess Kang?" Quan Xiao twisted his eyebrows, "What is she here for?" ”
In the middle of the night, what kind of system does it become for lonely men and widows to be alone in one room! Quan Xiao snorted coldly, "Did she say what happened?" ”
Lou Zishang was even more uncomfortable, this Qin Shanshan liked Quan Xiao, why was she looking for him, suddenly the two of them thought of something and glanced at each other, Quan Xiao smiled lightly, "The opportunity has come." ”
Yuande didn't quite understand, Lou Zishang chuckled, "It's a good hospitality, don't let people see it, I'll come here." ”
"Yuande, you and Mifu are with your son." Kwon frowned.
Yuan De hurriedly responded, Lou Zishang smiled and patted his cheek, "She obviously likes you, what are you worried about?" ”
Quan Xiao was obviously in a bad mood, helping him get dressed and gritted his teeth and snorted, "She knows that I don't look down on her, and now like Quan Yu, you are gentle to people, can you guarantee that she can't look down on you?!" ”
The more Quan Xiao thought about it, the more he felt like this, and couldn't help but say irritably, "Don't smile at her, in the middle of the night, who knows what she thinks." ”
"What do you want?" Lou Zishang was shocked by his thoughts, and suddenly cried and laughed, "How could she fall in love with me, you think everyone is you?" ”
"That's because they don't understand you." Quan Xiao raised his eyebrows, Zishang is so good, it is the easiest to make a woman tempted, he pinched Lou Zishang's face warningly, "I'm looking at you inside, you can remember it for me." ”
Seeing his serious appearance, Lou Zishang only nodded, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to get out.
Qin Shanshan saw Lou Zishang come out, stepped forward and bowed down, "I've seen the priest." ”
"The princess is polite, I don't know what the so-called came late at night?" Lou Zishang is gentle and polite, Qin Shanshan looks a lot more mature, the willfulness of her daughter's family disappeared overnight, Lou Zishang couldn't help sighing, Qin Shanshan was also pitiful when she said it, she was made to such a point by Qin Mu.
Qin Shanshan looked at Mifu and Yuande and stopped talking, Lou Zishang waved his hand and said, "Princess, please take a seat, Mifu will change a cup of tea for the princess." ”
Mifu stepped forward with a smile when she heard this, and her movements were very neat.
"The princess has something to say, they are not outsiders."
Qin Shanshan looked at Mifu and suddenly laughed, laughing extremely crazy, and finally with some bitterness in her eyes, "Sure enough, sure enough." ”
