Under the persuasion of Zhao Yun, Liu Yu pretended to be helpless to accept Tai Shici's repayment, and ordered someone to bring the Nine Dragons gun, and then said to Tai Shici who had red eyes in his eyes: "Ziyi, the name of this gun is 'Nine Dragons', and I will give it to you today, I hope you will continue to sweep it, and I will expand my territory!" ”

Tai Shici knelt on the ground and took the Nine Dragons Gun with a firm expression, and said word by word: "The minister will live up to the expectations of the lord!" ”

Looking at the fanatical appearance when he rubbed the Nine Dragons Gun, Liu Yu said understandingly: "Let's go, go to the martial arts training ground to try the gun!" ”

Liu Yu, the martial arts training ground in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, was hardly used, and it used to be the exclusive place of Huang Xu. Lion Cub Book League

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who were standing in the arena with guns, had a calm and resolute face, the fighting intent on their bodies became stronger and stronger, and the clothes that were released with vigor were grinning. Perhaps the momentum has reached its peak, and the two of them shouted in unison and attacked each other with guns.

Tai Shi Ci danced to lift the nine-dragon gun weighing 72 pounds like a light hong, and the moves of opening and closing showed its domineering; However, Zhao Yun's spear unfolded as swift as a meteor shower, and it was floating and uncertain, and it seemed that he had fulfilled the essence of "asking the sky and spearing tricks".

Liu Yu's true realm was comparable to the heaven-level masters of this world, so he naturally wouldn't be attracted by the battle between two innate peak-level figures, so when Huang Xu appeared, Liu Yu immediately discovered him. Looking at Huang Xu, who was carrying a groundbreaking axe and walking towards Liu Yu, Liu Yu couldn't help but praise himself in his heart. Think of the fact that three years ago he was already fifteen years old, his face was black and yellow, his body was emaciated, and he looked like he was eleven or twelve; And now he is more than 180 centimeters tall. The body is strong and heroic. This is all the credit of Liu Yu!

"Wengong, why are you here?" This "literary skill" was after Huang Xuman was fifteen years old. The word Huang Zhong chose for him.

"The disciple is here to greet the master!" Huang Xu's answer was obviously casually perfunctory, just looking at the battle in the field but not looking at Liu Yu at a glance.

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu called back Zhao Yun and Tai Shici. Looking at Huang Xu's expression full of regret and loss, Liu Yu was satisfied! Looking at Tai Shici's somewhat uncertain expression, Liu Yu asked, "What's the matter, isn't the gun smooth?" ”

"The spear given by the lord is very suitable for ......the ministers," Tai Shici said with some embarrassment: "It's just that Zilong is too cunning and has been fighting with the ministers." Let the ministers have nowhere to go. It made the lord laugh! ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and asked lightly: "Ziyi, will you use your shortcomings to fight the enemy's strengths?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was speechless. Liu Yu relieved him of the siege at the right time, and pulled Huang Xu to introduce them to each other: "This is my second disciple Huang Xu Huang Wengong, and he is also the only son of Huang Zhong, the chief general of Yuzhou. He is your senior brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, and this is Tai Shi Ci Tai Shi Ziyi, who has newly joined us. ”

After they have finished saluting each other. Liu Yu was empathetic again. Tai Shici, who was dissatisfied with his desires, and Huang Xu, who was eager to try, said: "The martial arts of the two of you are both fierce, so you have been there!" ”

"Yes!" The two responded in unison, and then got off the field, looked at each other, gathered momentum, and made a move.

This competition is completely different from the one just now, and the two people's moves are all hard-hitting. When the Nine Dragons Spear and the Earth-Breaking Axe intersected, there was no sonorous sound of gold and iron, but a thunderous thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"How long do you think your junior brother can hold on?" Liu Yu asked Zhao Yun, who was standing quietly.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment. said: "If you don't make twenty moves, your junior brother will be defeated!" ”

"Not bad." Liu Yu nodded and said, "Your junior brother is inferior to Ziyi in terms of skill and fighting experience. It's beyond my expectation to be able to fight so far! ”

Sure enough, as Liu Yu's master and apprentice expected, Tai Shici seized an opportunity to use Huang Xu's old moves, and when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength was not born, he shook him to the ground with a single shot. Huang Xu, who was sitting on the ground, and Tai Shici, who was short of breath, glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison, and said loudly: "Happy, happy!" ”

Liu Yu and Zhao Yun glanced at each other helplessly, and then led the two who walked over with their shoulders hooked back to the conference hall.

"Ziyi, I think your martial arts should belong to the battlefield line rather than the Jianghu school, I don't know who you are learning from?"

Tai Shi Ci said with admiration: "The lord has good eyesight! The minister's father inherited the lineage of the soldiers, and the martial arts he learned were not suitable for the battle of the rivers and lakes, but only for the battlefield! ”

Liu Yu nodded and didn't ask deeply, thought for a while and said: "Zilong, Ziyi, although the martial arts of the two of you can be sent into the top twenty in our army, the army is a place where seniority is spoken, and you really need a little experience." So then, I appoint you commanders, and give you three thousand recruits each, and you will train yourselves. Let me see if you can train a bunch of recruits into elite divisions that can roam the battlefield! ”

"The ministers will live up to the expectations of the lord!" Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Cifu knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Master, Master......" Just as Liu Yu was about to correct Zhao Yun's address to him, Huang Xu called Liu Yu, and his voice revealed anxiety.

"I knew you kid must have something to ask for when he suddenly came to me. Let's be honest, what are you here for? It can't be a disaster, right? Liu Yu first asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to get up, and then glanced at Huang Xu with a suspicious expression.

"No, I didn't get into trouble!" Huang Xu shook his head vigorously, then looked at Liu Yu with a wistful expression and said, "Master, the disciple also wants to lead the troops to fight like the senior brothers!" ”

Liu Yu looked him up and down, and Huang Xu, who was holding his head high under Liu Yu's gaze, really had a bit of a general's flavor. Well, anyway, this kid's martial arts are pretty good now, so he got his wish! "Okay, you should be a lieutenant like your senior brother first. I'll also give you 3,000 recruits, and if you're well trained, I'll let you go to battle, or you'll be on patrol!" ”

"Long live Master!" Huang Xu jumped up and cheered ecstatically, and then knelt on the ground as if he remembered something and said, "The minister will definitely not disappoint the lord!" ”

Yes, Zhao Yun hasn't educated you yet, and you're here again! Liu Yu rubbed his temples and said, "In the future, you will still call me 'Master' in informal occasions, it will sound more kind!" ”

"Yes. Master! ”

After sending off the three young generals, Liu Yu walked to the inner courtyard, and heard the pleasant sound of the piano and laughter from a distance. Liu Yu's heart suddenly became hot, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. I didn't want to enter the moon gate, but I saw Liu Xuan sitting on a recliner looking at an unknown tree in a daze.

"You'er, do you have anything to worry about?"

"Husband, you're back!" Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu with a smile, as if what Liu Yu saw just now was just an illusion.

Seeing Liu Yu's open arms, Liu Yu didn't say anything. Quietly leaning on her arms, closing her eyes and enjoying the warmth. The softness of the cheeks and the sweetness that invaded the nose. The sound of the piano and laughter in his ears all made Liu Yu intoxicated.

Just when Liu Yu was about to fall asleep happily, Liu Yu's soft voice sounded in his ears: "Husband, didn't you say that your eldest disciple is here?" You haven't seen each other in three years. Why don't you get together more? ”

Liu Yu replied casually: "Wengong wants to take Zilong and Zilong's friend Tai Shici to the restaurant to exchange feelings. As an honorable man, it is inconvenient for me to go ......."

Liu Yu laughed, tightened his arms around Liu Yu, and said, "Husband, is your eldest disciple called Zilong?" ”

"Yes," Liu Yu said lazily: "His name is Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, and he is a person from Changshan Zhending." ”

"Changshan is really fixed?" Liu Xuan was a little surprised and a little surprised: "Isn't that Fan Lihua's sister's fellow countryman!" ”

"Fan Lihua?" Liu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Who?" ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened. looked at Liu Yu in disbelief and said, "No." Husband, don't you know that Fan Lihua is the captain of Luan Fengwei's second team? In this way, Luan Fengwei's other people, including the captain of the first team and the captain of the third team, you don't even know their identities and origins?! ”

Liu Yu smiled dryly: "Wasn't Luan Fengwei selected by you?" As long as you're sure they're okay, why should I go to the extra mile to get to know them? ”

Liu Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Husband, Luan Fengwei is also our personal guard, when it comes to the closeness of status, it is only under our family apprentices, how can you ignore them so much?" It's a shame that the girls still ......" Liu Yu didn't finish his words, and only stared at Liu Yu with an accusatory gaze.

Touching his chin, Liu Yu coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "Yu'er, you can help me introduce it, and it will be convenient for me to make up for it!" ”

Sighing as if resigned to his fate, Liu Xuan said softly: "You don't need to remember all the thirty-six Luan Fengwei, but you really should know about the three captains." The captain of this first team is called Zou Zhiruo, who is originally from Hongnong. She was born in a scholarly family, and she has hundreds of acres of land, and her life can be regarded as carefree. But one day when she went to the street, she was seen by Zhang Ji, the captain of Hongnong, who was entangled with Zou Zhiruo on the street. After Zhiruo ran away, he didn't give up, and a few days later he found the Zou family and forcibly asked Zou's father for marriage. Father Zou rejected him, but he didn't expect Zhang Ji to lead troops to surround the Zou family, saying that if he didn't marry Zou Zhiruo to him, he would destroy Zou Zhiruo. Fortunately, Zou's father had foreseen it, and dismissed the servants in the family first, and sent Zou Zhiruo and Zou's mother to the home of a world friend, but he stayed at home because of the arrogance of the literati. If Zhang Ji didn't find Zou Zhi, he frantically framed Zou's father as the leader of the bandits and killed Zou's father. Later, although a friend of Zou's father rehabilitated Zou's father, because Zhang Ji's family had a strong force, he was only demoted. Zou's mother also died of grief and anger in the end, and Zou Zhiruo went to assassinate Zhang Ji in order to take revenge, but failed. In order not to affect the family friend of the Zou family, after burying Zou's mother and Zou father together, he fled to Yuzhou......"

Zhang Ji? Hongnong? Zou Zhiruo? Could it be that this Zou Zhiruo is the undead Zhang Ji who made Cao Cao fascinated in history, that Zou?!

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu asked, "You told Zou Zhiruo's origin so clearly, but you want me to help her take revenge?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yu and said softly: "If Zhiruo is lonely and helpless, only you can be relied on...... Not long ago, I learned that Zhang Ji was transferred to Dong Zhuo's command and is now in Bingzhou. ”

After closing his eyes and thinking about it, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I will take this matter to heart, you tell Zou Zhiruo, if there is a chance, I will let her kill the enemy!" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yu approvingly, first muttered, "You still have a little conscience", and then continued: "Fan Lihua is the captain of Luan Fengwei's second team, Changshan Zhendingren, and her martial arts were secretly taught to her by her neighbor Zhao Jiazi. ”

As soon as Liu Yu's words fell, Liu Yu said with a look of surprise: "Could it be that the 'Zhao family' who taught Fan Lihua martial arts before is my apprentice Zhao Yun?" ”

Liu Xuan shook his head and said, "Husband is too worried, according to Fan Lihua." Although she didn't know exactly what the name of that Zhao family was, she heard him call his younger brother 'Zhao Fan', thinking that Zhao Yun shouldn't have a younger brother named 'Zhao Fan', right? ”

Liu Yu was silent. He felt. Although Zhao Yun is not the "Zhao family" who taught martial arts to Fan Lihua, it is very likely that he is the widowed sister-in-law Fan with "national colors" who was used by Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan to marry Zhao Yun in history......

Not paying attention to Liu Yu's divergent thinking, Liu Yu continued: "The captain of Luan Fengwei's third team is called Wu Yuan, although she is from Chen Liu, she is a side branch of the Wu family of the wealthy family in Shuzhong. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Liuwu's family was almost wiped out, and the only remaining Wu Yi and Wu Amaranth brothers and sisters returned to Shuzhong. Prepare to take refuge in your family. After that, Liu Yan entered Shu, and the Wu family wanted to marry Liu Yan, who was the state pastor. planned to take advantage of Wu Yi's practice in the mountains to marry Wu Yan, a perverted son who had tortured seven wives and concubines, to Liu Mao. Although Wu Amaranth is young, he will not tolerate his family treating him so harshly, and in the end, Wu Amaranth broke out of the siege under the protection of loyal servants. Later, he moved to Yuzhou. It's a pity. The loyal servant who had received the great favor of Wu's father was injured and sick in the process of fleeing, and finally could not support it, and Wu Yuan joined Luan Fengwei with the 'Taiqing Qigong' and 'Songfeng Sword Technique' passed on by that loyal servant......"

Liu Yan touched his chin and asked with a headache: "Does this Wu Amaran also want me to help her take revenge?" ”

Liu Xuan sighed and said faintly: "I talked to Wu Yuan about this issue, and she herself was very confused, no matter how she said it, it was also her own family...... And according to Xinghua News Agency. Now I don't know the inside story, and Wu Yi, who thought that his sister was seriously ill and died, has become the target of the Wu family's key cultivation. For the sake of his brother's future, Wu Amaran has always been at a loss for what to do......"

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yu deeply and asked, "Don't talk about other people's troubles, I really want to know, what is my troubles about?" ”

Liu Xuan lowered his head and said, "Where do I have any troubles......

"Didn't you? So what were you doing here? Liu Yu asked the question in his heart again.

"Just now?" Liu Yu was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I'm thinking about you!" ”

Although her words made Liu Yu very heartwarming, in order to force out the truth, Liu Yu could only raise his head and look at her expressionlessly. Liu Yu was a little uncomfortable stared at by Liu Yu, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, husband, I looked through the profit report of Xingchanglong Trading Company that was placed in the study room without your permission. ”

"Koshotaka Trading Company's earnings report?" Liu Yu scratched his head, leaned back into Liu Yu's arms and asked puzzledly: "What is written on it, can make you so abnormal today?" ”

Liu Xuan sighed helplessly when he heard this: "Husband, why are you lazy again?!" Alas......" Liu Yu leaned to make Liu Yu more comfortable, and then whispered the content of the profit report in Liu Yu's ear: "Xingchanglong Trading Company said that business in Youzhou has been very prosperous recently, and the inventory of more than 46,000 pieces of various weapons has been sold out, and the net profit is as high as 320,000 taels of silver. In addition, Yuyang Taishou Zhang Ju also ordered 10,000 sets of refined infantry armor, 10,000 sets of refined cavalry armor, 10,000 refined sabers and 300,000 stone grain. This transaction will make a net income of 480,000 taels of silver. ”

Xingchanglong Trading Company did a good job in Youzhou, allowing me to make a net profit of 800,000 taels of silver! Well, I have to ask Su Shuang to reward the person in charge of Xingchanglong Trading Company in Youzhou! But Liu Yu still doesn't understand what Liu Yu's worries have to do with this?

Perhaps sensing Liu Yu's question, Liu Yu explained: "Although Yuyang is a large county in Youzhou, its annual tax is only one million taels of silver. In other words, Taishou Zhang Ju had to spend two years of Yuyang's taxes for the sake of armor and food. Once paid, I'm afraid there will be no more silver left in the Yuyang Mansion Treasury! ”

"Zhang Ju wants to rebel!" Liu Yu finally reacted, Zhang Ju was the guy who rebelled with Zhang Chun and claimed to be the Son of Heaven!

Liu Yu kissed Liu Yu on the face with satisfaction and praised: "Husband is so smart!" If this Zhang Ju was simply changing equipment for the troops, he would never have come to the Xingchanglong Trading Company, which was known for its high quality and high price, not to mention that there was enough food for 150,000 people to eat for more than a year. All this shows that Zhang Ju does have anti-intentions, and it is not far off! ”

Liu Yu turned around and scolded "stupid girl", then stretched out his finger to caress her slightly frowning eyebrows, and said, "What's the use of you worrying here, just write a letter to tell your imperial brother?!" ”

Liu Yu sighed, leaned on Liu Yu's shoulder a little weakly, and said, "Of course I know that writing a letter to tell the imperial brother can prevent trouble. But in this way, the court will be even more suspicious of us! I'm afraid that when the time comes, the army of the imperial court will not crusade against Zhang Ju, but will come to deal with us! ”

"You're thinking too much!" Liu Yu comforted Liu Yu.

"We are close to the division of Yuzhou and have a strong combat power of more than 300,000. The abundance of money and grain is known as 'the best in the world', and everyone up and down 'only knows Liu Yu, not the Son of Heaven', all of which makes the court very suspicious of us. If our intelligence network as far away as Youzhou is revealed, then the husband will really become a big trouble for the imperial court! ”

Liu Yu understood, and couldn't help but hug the infatuated person tightly and said, "So you don't dare to tell your imperial brother about this, but you are worried that the people who could have avoided the war disaster will suffer because of your selfishness." You're blaming yourself, aren't you? ”

Liu Yu sobbed: "Husband, I'm so sad. If Zhang Ju really rebelled, it would definitely affect millions of people. Thinking of those big Han people who are about to destroy their families. My heart hurts! ”

Liu Yu patted her pink back and said, "Then let's tell your imperial brother, anyway, people are not afraid of crooked shadows, your imperial brother will never punish his brother-in-law for no reason, right?!" ”

Liu Yu resolutely retorted: "No. Just by looking at the few nails around us, we know that the imperial brother is already a little suspicious. What's more, my soft-eared royal brother is surrounded by some people who make things out of nothing. I'm not going to bet on that! ”

Liu Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, Xingchanglong Trading Company has more than 30 large farms in southern Hebei and northern Hebei, which can accommodate 400,000 refugees at that time. If you squeeze in the crowd, there will be more than 100,000 people, which is enough to save most of the refugees! ”

Liu Yu raised his head violently, looked at Liu Yu with joy on his face, and then his expression darkened, shook his head and said, "Although the farm can provide food and houses to settle refugees. But what to do to protect them from the thieves? I think the husband should close those farms and evacuate all the personnel and materials to Yuzhou. Don't get it cheaper! ”

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu said a little proudly: "Don't worry, my farm is not like the ones you have seen before, I think it would be more appropriate to describe them with 'city'." In addition, each farm is equipped with 1,000 merchant guards, who are not only responsible for the safety of the farm's personnel and materials, but also train a group of peasant soldiers during the slack period. Coupled with a large number of garrison equipment and food hidden in the village, it can definitely withstand a long-term siege by tens of thousands of troops. Besides, these farms of mine are not far from each other, and they can still attack and defend each other! How is it, is your husband very far-sighted, do you admire me a little? ”

Liu Yu kissed Liu Yu hard after great joy and said, "I thank you on behalf of the people who are about to suffer, my good husband!" ”

Just when Liu Yu squinted his eyes slightly and was secretly proud, Liu Yu's face had an expression that seemed to be smiling, and she said faintly: "Husband, why did you establish so many military sites in the south and north of Hebei?" Don't tell me that you unpredictable prophets expected someone to rebel over there! ”

Unjustly killed! Liu Yu really knew that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun would rebel in Yuyang, and Liu Yu also knew that Wuhuan would also take advantage of the fire to rob and enter the three states of Youji and Qing to plunder the money and grain of the Han people. With this in mind, when Liu Yu first built those peasant "cities", he strengthened their defense capabilities and stored a large number of necessary materials. To put it too far, Liu Yu has actually been waiting for this day for a long time!

Sighing, Liu Yu said slowly: "Yu'er, in fact, it is not me who is the prophet of the unknown, but Xinghua Society and Xingchanglong Trading Company!" After several years of covert development, these two overt and covert intelligence organizations have spread all over the Han Dynasty, and the intelligence gathered every day is innumerable. You often say that I have nothing to do and no business, but you don't know that I have been exhausting my efforts to analyze information from all over the world in order to deduce the truth that is in line with the facts......"

"It turns out that my husband is so hard......" It was not Liu Yan who said "so it is", but Cai Yan who suddenly jumped out, and Ren Hongchang and Luan Fengwei who appeared with him all looked at Liu Yu with admiration and distress.

Liu Yu said in a deep voice with the mentality of "don't say anything about death": "You are all my most trusted and closest women, I hope you can help me!" ”

Liu Xuan seemed to be expecting, and said in surprise: "Husband, what do you mean?" ”

"I know that you are all strange women in the world, but now you are detained in this small inner courtyard because of me, I feel very sorry for you, I ......"

Cai Yan stretched out his hand and pressed Liu Yu's mouth, looked at Liu Yu and said affectionately: "Husband, don't think so, in this world where men are inferior to women, we are already very content to marry a man like Husband who loves his wife and concubine to the point of indulgence." ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Yan'er, you haven't figured out what I mean. What I'm trying to say is I'm going to get you guys down to business! ”
