Zhou Sinian said in a deep voice: "Commander, you are too impulsive, today they are waiting for the net, you transferred a large number of dragon guards, do you want to take revenge, or do you want to kill more people?" ”

The commander's face was pale, Zhou Sinian pointed his sword at him, and his voice was stern: "The Dragon Guard is the emperor!" Not a weapon for your personal anger! Ordered the dragon guards to rush to respond, closely monitor the town, the town is only allowed to enter, not out, the town residents, anyone who dares to go out of the city, will be killed. The dragon guards are not allowed to enter the town, and they are not allowed to be left alone. Hurry up to report to the emperor, send the northern army to quell the rebellion, and dare to slaughter the dragon guards in broad daylight, this is a rebellion! So saying, he galloped away.

I hurriedly said, "Why did you leave, did the commander listen to you?" ”

Zhou Sinian said disdainfully: "He's not a cloud, you don't care if he listens or not." This time he underestimated the enemy, and killed a large number of brothers," he sneered, "He has never lost so badly, or he has killed his arrogance." ”

I disagreed: "Where do you have such a friend?" Zhou Sinian smiled "hehe": "I do this friend to help him, he has no one in his eyes, and he has offended countless people, unless," he shook his head, "unless he is willing not to be a man in this life, only to make a knife, otherwise, he will die a miserable death." ”

I remembered the words that the commander said that day when he looked at Bai Yunyou, and sighed: "He may really be willing to make a knife for the rest of his life until he can't cut it." ”

As we spoke, the dragon guards began to appear in front of us, and when they saw us, they bowed their heads and bowed down, saying that they had an order from the commander to come and answer. I breathed a sigh of relief, the commander's sanity always prevailed.

We arrived at the cave on the cliff of Zhoufu Mountain. The terrain of this town is very high, and the open cave is almost horizontal, and the last time I came from the village, I walked all the way up, and it was very hard.

Zhou Sinian and I entered the Zhou Mansion from the cave on the cliff with Ruyun, and the snow was brought back from the road by Zhou Tong. This cave is now equipped with a thick stone gate, and when the stone gate is closed, it is a huge mountain rock, even if anyone who does not know enters the cave, they will never think that this place can lead to the half-city villa.

After entering the Bancheng Villa, Zhou Sinian asked people to close the stone gate, held the key to the stone gate in his hand, and destroyed the mechanism on the cliff. The cabins in the apricot forest have been demolished, as long as the dungeons and underground passages within the Zhou Mansion are all filled with whole boulders and compacted.

Zhou Sinian took people to the courtyard where his father-in-law lived, took a turn, and carefully inspected the ground, ponds, wells, rockeries, gardens, etc. In the end, he still instructed Lao Xu to level the courtyard, fill the well, fill the pond, and dig deep into the soil. Finally, looking at a large expanse of empty land, he sighed deeply and said, "Next spring, plant an apricot grove here." ”

Ah Xing and the maids were moved out of a secluded mansion outside the mansion to live, and the guards who were in charge of this courtyard were also transferred out of the Zhou Mansion and promoted to other places.

While the Zhou Mansion was busy doing these things, the northern army drove into the town, and no matter how powerful the Jianghu people were, they were vulnerable in front of the regular army. Strong crossbows, bows and arrows, fire attacks, smoke, even though they have evil arts, two fists are invincible to four hands, a town without any natural dangers, can be attacked on all sides, under the iron hooves of the army, the town is razed to the ground.

The residents of the town refused to surrender, except for a few leaders who were secretly arrested in advance, and all the others were wiped out along with the town.

didn't catch the father-in-law, and Yi Niang and Er Niang didn't know where to go. The dragon guard tried to dig the cave inside, but finally gave up. They filled in the well, and the town was like the yard of the father-in-law, filling the well, digging deep into the soil, and it became a very large imperial village.

On this day, Zhou Sinian and I were with great interest to take the Ah Fu left by the clouds and Ruyi to watch the craftsmen plant flowers, and the commander came, bringing the history of the town.

The town belongs to Yunshan County on the outskirts of Beijing, used to be a natural village with only a dozen families, more than 20 years ago, a Nanzhao businessman led his family to the capital, because he heard that the country was changing, stranded in Yunshan County, the merchant died soon after, most of the people left behind were slaves, the ancestors of these people, most of them were captured by the Nanzhao people Shu prisoners of war, did not want to return to Nanzhao, settled down in this village, there was this town.

Zhou Sinian said: "Yes, those Shu embroideries, Nanzhao also have them, and they are not inferior to Shudi." The people who brought these Shu embroideries to Nanzhao were a large number of craftsmen who were taken captive in Shu that year. ”

The commander said: "The officials of the town are actually the leaders of this group, and the Yunshan County Ya is far away from the town, and the town has always been calm, and they can pay taxes on time and serve on time and in full, so the county government can rest assured that they will be self-governing." ”

Zhou Sinian muttered: "More than twenty years ago? More than 20 years ago, when Wu Cheng waited for the Du family to control the government, the Du family was responsible for these foreign affairs. ”

When he mentioned the Du family, there was always a kind of resentment revealed. I didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would think of Du Lingjun. Although he knew that the current Du Lingjun was only afraid that life would be worse than death, he still hoped that he would survive. To be alive is to have hope.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Zhou Sinian did not mention Du Lingjun, but the commander did not let him go, he heard Zhou Sinian talk about the Du family, and said: "Back then, Wu Chenghou sheltered them, let them live in the town, and gave them an identity. This can also explain why Du Lingjun can hide in the town. They are here to repay the favor. ”

Zhou Sinian sneered: "Repay the favor? I'm afraid there is revenge! They colluded with the thieves and did evil arts, just to repay Wu Chenghou's kindness of a drop of water, did they do it with their hands? The army is crushing the territory and refusing to surrender, how much hatred is this? Do you still want to avenge Wu Chenghou? ”

I said disapprerovitically: "It's a gesture in Wuchenghou, but this group of people has a home, of course they will be grateful." Wu Chenghou has always been benevolent and sympathetic. ”

Zhou Sinian scoffed: "It's just a matter of selling fame and reputation and buying people's hearts." You only see that he was generous to the country, gave this group of people a piece of land, let them live and settle here, and made them grateful to Dade and wanted to die for him, but what you can't see is that the Du family has encroached on a large area of land in order to fill their own pockets, and how many people have been displaced? ”

I was speechless and could only acquiesce.

The commander said: "Then this Du Lingjun, in the opinion of the national public, is there still a need to stay?" ”

Zhou Sinian didn't say that it was none of his business this time, but sighed and said: "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows." Du Lingjun is not dead, there are always diehard elements of the Du family who are ready to move, and he himself is not a person who keeps to himself. ”

There was a pain in my heart, my cousin was finished. I didn't want to listen to them anymore, so I wanted to go back with Yun Tuan, but Yun Tuan refused to leave, and took a small shovel to help. (To be continued.) )
