The war in Guozhou was a matter of great importance, and the imperial court was also doing its best to provide supplies, but at this time, external troubles continued, and many places needed relief due to natural disasters, and the treasury was suddenly cleaned, and the imperial court was powerless. Now even the emperor is tight on food and clothing every day, and he is almost eager to tear down the palace and sell it for money.

At this time, everyone also affirmed that in order to be the king, King Pingning did not compromise his means, but actually colluded with outsiders to attack the good country. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the neighboring countries to react in such a short period of time, and the ditch would have been opened in the dark early on.

But even if we know it now, we can't solve the problem of lack of money and food that we are currently facing.

This matter has not been publicized, and if outsiders know about it, it will only be detrimental to themselves, and the people will be terrified. Chang Xile was able to know that it was also because of Song Wangcheng's relationship, and according to the information obtained, it could basically be inferred.

But there is nothing he can do now, their Taoyuan Village and even the entire Daoxiang County have done their best, and now their own rations have not yet been settled. All these years of savings were emptied because of this war, and they returned to before the liberation. Now the resentment in everyone's hearts towards King Pingning can be said to have reached the extreme, if it weren't for him, how could they live a life of eating the last meal and not knowing the next.

You must know that their lives were very solid before, and they ate whatever they wanted every day, and Chang Xile was also worried that if this continued, it would affect everyone's health, and when the time came, like the future generations, if the living conditions were good, they would get the so-called wealth disease, and it would be troublesome.

Chang Xile also specially ordered to warn everyone not to eat too partially, every day you know that big fish and big meat, you must match meat and vegetables, and eat everything.

At that time, everyone was very happy to say that one day they were worried about eating too well and getting sick, and this life was not in vain.

But now that I'm back in the past, who will be happy.

The Shen Pei family also did their best, not only taking out their own family funds to fully support, but also encouraging businessmen from all walks of life in the house to contribute to the country. Although there are many people who respond, there are still a minority. It is not unreasonable for businessmen in this world to be looked down upon, because many people don't help at this time, and they even want to make a fortune by taking advantage of it.

Especially before, Qin Zhong directly ordered people to grab food directly, which made some people have grievances, and they didn't want to contribute.

More people are also weighing, although the court intends to conceal it, but such a big matter of internal and external troubles cannot be hidden. Especially now that there are many natural disasters, some people can't help but wonder if this is a warning from heaven.

Such gossip has been going on since the beginning of the natural disaster, but it has only become more prevalent now, although the imperial court has suppressed it several times, but it has had little effect, and even intensified because of accidents everywhere.

It wasn't until Chang Yu's tiger god said it that this kind of remarks were slowly suppressed.

However, many people still have a wait-and-see attitude, especially businessmen with huge amounts of money, and they have to weigh it. If they can maintain the current situation, it is fine, if there is any mistake, their previous assistance to the imperial court will definitely be unsatisfactory in front of the new emperor. This was supposed to take away his own money, and when he thought of this kind of consequence, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Although the current grain and grass can be maintained for a period of time, if the faction of King Pingning continues to delay like this, then it will definitely be the court faction that suffers.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a miracle happened.

Shen Baili and Pei Qingyun, who went to sea before, are back! Mighty with a large number of ships transporting a large amount of wealth and returning triumphantly!

This voyage was supported by the imperial court, so the scale of the trip was much larger than before, and the ship was full of popular things from there when it left. Therefore, the wealth on the ship this time was several times more than when they returned last time, and as soon as they heard such news in the good country, they directly donated all the proceeds this time without saying a word. And Chang Xile also invested a share before, and also invested a lot, so he also made a lot of money, and all of them were donated to the front line.

This not only did the problem of food, grass and money be temporarily resolved, but it also greatly boosted the morale of all the generals and soldiers. The Shen Pei family even released wild words, since the Pingning King faction wanted to consume them, they would consume them to the end, and they would also accompany them! Anyway, they know that there is a place full of gold, so they are not afraid to compare with others and spend money!

Of course, these words are frightening, but the news in this world is closed, and Shen Pei and the others did bring back a lot of wealth, most of them believe it, even if they don't believe that there is gold everywhere, but they also know that this is an excellent opportunity to make money, and they can continuously support this war, but they are not so exaggerated.

After all, it's not a lie that there are so many goodies on board.

At this moment, the already extremely heroic soldiers were even more enthusiastic, and Guozhou, which was originally chaotic internally, became even more unstable.

And because of the heroism and righteousness of the Shen and Pei families, the emperor directly awarded the two counts and marquis titles respectively!

As soon as this decree was made, the whole good country was in an uproar.

If it is just the Pei family, after all, the daughter of the Pei family is a concubine in the palace, and because the Shen and Pei families have made great efforts in this crisis, they have just been promoted to concubines, so it is not unusual for the Pei family to get the position of marquis. It's actually a matter of time, it's just that the title is a little high, and it will be a little controversial. After all, Concubine Pei is not only gentle and graceful, but also gave birth to two dragon sons and a princess for the emperor, and now she is a concubine, so she will naturally elevate the identity of her mother's family. Now that he has done such a great thing to benefit the country, it is even more logical.

But the Shen family was also awarded a knighthood, which made people completely unthinkable. This is unprecedented, and it is a qualitative leap for a pure merchant family to receive a knighthood. Although the status of businessmen here is not very low, and their descendants can still conduct scientific research, they are still people who are discriminated against by the upper class.

Now because he invested some money, he has to be awarded the title of earl, how can this not be envied!

Under this stimulus, more and more businessmen are willing to donate, although they dare not do it like Shen Pei's two families, they are also very generous.

Such a steady stream of supplies was sent to Guozhou, which made it even more difficult for the Pingning Wang faction to calm down. Although the emperor did not confer knighthoods on other merchants, he gave plaques to the merchants who donated the most, and the names of all the merchants who donated were written into the proclamation and announced to the world as a reward.

This is also a great honor for businessmen, and they are registered with the official family, and it will be different to do business in the future. There are more and more businessmen who are willing to contribute money and efforts, and the original economic crisis has been solved.

I have food and money in my hands, and I don't panic. The soldiers on the front line fought more heroically, there was no need to worry about anything else, and the news of the victory kept coming.

And the troubles of the Pingning King's faction did not end there, and the people in Guozhou couldn't stand the oppression of the Pingning Wang's faction and began to resist.

Originally, I felt a chill in my heart when I heard that King Pingning was so ruthless, but then the war began, and their people carried out cruel exploitation, and the people had long been resentful. And many of the people who are fighting bloodily outside are their brothers and friends, and the reason why they will carry weapons and fight is just to find their own homeland.

The literati of Guozhou were also very dissatisfied with the brutal Pingning Wang faction, and they also resisted, but they were ruthlessly suppressed, and many scholars and literati were killed. The faction of King Pingning thought that this could be deterred, but the literati here had an arrogant backbone, and the more they suppressed, the more powerful they became, and they had been plotting in private if they didn't achieve anything on the surface.

And now Guozhou is losing and retreating, and the exploitation of the people in the state is becoming more and more intense, and finally everyone can't bear the chaos. This time it was no longer a petty fight, but an organized and premeditated resistance by a group of people, and the power was naturally different.

At this time, the faction of King Pingning also tasted the taste of internal and external troubles, and it didn't take long for it to fall.

There was jubilation from top to bottom of the good country, and before they could point all their fingers at their neighbors, the neighbors knew that the general trend was gone and handed over the letter of reconciliation.

The emperor directly ordered the celebration for three days and three nights, and the whole good country was immersed in joy.

And the emperor did not forget the original promise, and the Guozhou people who participated in the battle could not only get back their own property, but also receive a reward to divide the fields in the name of the former king of Pingning to them, completely uprooting the foundation of the king of Pingning. All the grain left by the king of Pingning was distributed.

The other soldiers were also highly rewarded, and this battle made the emperor see the strength of the people and better understand the sentence - whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Chang Xile didn't care about what the emperor felt, he was anxiously waiting for the return of Chang Yu and his party.

Although the war was won, the process was tragic, and because the news was not usual, they did not know how many of the people who went out this time would be able to return. Although Chang Xile knew that Chang Yu was still alive, he didn't know what his situation was. Although it was very miraculous outside, Chang Xile knew that it was just the result of a momentum.

On the one hand, it is inspiring, and on the other hand, it destroys the minds of the hostile faction.

Those people are all guarded by heavy soldiers, no matter how high Chang Yu's martial arts are, it is impossible to really come and go without a trace, and easily kill the other party. There must be a lot of danger in this, and it is impossible not to get hurt. And he has been hunted down and killed, and he has to eat and sleep in the open every day, even if Chang Xile knows that Chang Yu's temperament doesn't care about this, and even thinks that he can release his nature, but he still feels distressed and worried.

Besides, it's so dangerous, no one knows when they'll miss it next time. In fact, Chang Yu is not successful every time, but he can escape every time. If you only take a little slower, you would have lost your life by now. Chang Xile didn't know how many nightmares he had at night these days, he was often woken up in the middle of the night, and he lost a lot of weight during this time.

Although he has been trying his best to calm himself and let himself eat more, he can't let Chang Yu come back and see him so thin, but he still can't help but become very haggard. He can only fill his free time with work, so he doesn't have time to think too much.

The Chang family could only sigh when they saw this, because if Chang Yu didn't come back, it would be useless for outsiders to do anything. What's more, there are Huaizi and Chang Xiwang at home who are also going to the front line, and everyone's hearts are hanging, and there is no peace at all.

From the moment he learned that the large army was going to return to the court, although the approximate arrival time could be calculated, Chang Xile still went to the dock every day to wait.

But even if he was very anxious, he was not waiting at the docks, and he had to deal with the affairs of the village and the victims with the other hand.

This battle has been fought for more than a year, and these victims have cleared a lot of fields, although the harvest is still quite barren because the land is still quite barren, and these lands still need to be raised for several years if they want to become fertile land, but seeing so many fields have been reclaimed, everyone has a smile of relief on their faces.

Some of the victims do not intend to leave, but want to stay.

Most of these people were people who had no land in Guozhou before, and they were almost the same everywhere. And they have seen how Taoyuan Village works for more than a year, and they are envious in their hearts, so they hope to integrate into it. Even if you can't grow up in such an environment for your children and grandchildren, that's a very good thing.

Back in Gozhou, no one knows what they will face, and it makes them feel more secure. Because they saw that the stewards here were very kind and smart, they could see the richness of Taoyuan Village in the past, and they were even more sure of the close contact later.

The people who can stay here to reclaim the land are all affirmed by their character, so the people of Taoyuan Village have no objection. Moreover, the imperial court has decreed that if the victims are unwilling to return to their hometowns, they can also stay, but they must be allowed and accepted by the locals.

"It's been so many days, they should be almost there, right?"

The closer we get to see each other, the more nervous we become, especially for those in our families.

Because they don't know if they will ever see their relatives again, and if they can't see them at that time, it means that they are gone.

It was an old woman who was questioned, and her son had also gone to war.

"Come on, it's only a few days. Grandma don't worry, Daejeon will definitely come back safely. Chang Xile comforted.

The old woman couldn't help wiping away her tears and sighed: "Hey, what kind of sin is this, how can someone think of making trouble on a good day." The king of Pingning is such a big official, he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing, if he can't think of anything, he has to make a fuss. ”

Chang Xile doesn't think so, he has always belonged to the ** person who is not heavy, and he doesn't have much pursuit of power, so he can't understand the psychology of people who always want to dominate the world. The days are almost good, why do you have to fight for personal talents, it is better to use this strength to enjoy life.

The old woman clasped her hands together and bowed to the other side of the river, muttering, "God bless, everyone must come back safely, God bless." ”

Although she knew that it was impossible, the old woman still hoped that God would open her eyes. The people of Taoyuan Village are all family, and no matter who is gone, it is unbearable.

Chang Xile couldn't help but sigh deeply, helpless and sad, but he was glad that this qiē had passed. Now I only hope that there will be no more people like King Pingning, and I hope that the world will be peaceful.

"Lele!"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and as soon as Chang Xile turned around, he saw that familiar face, and he was stunned and couldn't control his legs and feet anymore and ran forward, completely forgetting about the surroundings and hugging Chang Yu.

"You're back! You're finally back! ”

"Lele, I didn't break my promise."

Chang Xile hugged each other fiercely, for fear of disappearing suddenly like in a dream, but goodbye was a grave with Chang Yu's photo.

Fortunately, the person in his arms was warm, and he could feel the heartbeat and temperature of the other party, which told him that he was not dreaming, but real.

"Lele, you've lost weight." Chang Yu hugged Chang Xile and felt it all of a sudden, frowning slightly.

Chang Xile smiled with tears in his eyes: "I'm waiting for you to come back and fatten me." ”

"Okay." Chang Yu swore solemnly.

Chang Xile was excited for a while before he barely calmed down, let go of his hand and looked Chang Yu up and down, so he didn't see anything unusual, but Chang Yu's eyes were a little wrong, which suddenly made him suspicious, but he still suppressed the impatience in his heart and dragged Chang Yu into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Chang Xile took off Chang Yu's clothes, Chang Yu hurriedly grabbed his hand, "Lele, don't worry, let's do it again at night, Lele, I miss you, I think about it very much." ”

Chang Xile narrowed his eyes, "Let go of your hand." ”

Chang Yu didn't move.

"Don't you listen to me?"

Chang Yu couldn't, so he could only let go of his hand, and Chang Xile immediately ripped off Chang Yu's clothes.

Chang Yu was covered with scars, many of which could be seen through the scars. There was a cut from the shoulder to the waist, and the scar is still very dazzling, as if it could cut a person in half, which shows how heavy the injury was at that time. And now there are a lot of new wounds on the mountain that have just formed scars, and it seems that they have just healed for a long time.

Chang Xile's eyes suddenly turned red, and his tears suddenly remained, and he couldn't stop it.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Chang Yu stroked Chang Xile's head, "Lele, I'm fine, at least I'm back." ”

Yes, at least Chang Yu is still alive, but I don't know how many bones are buried there.

But even if he thought about it, Chang Xile still couldn't control his sadness.

Chang Yu hugged Chang Xile, "It's okay, it's all over, I will never leave you in the future." I'm happy to win, but I'm sad that you're not with me. And if I do this, it will probably bring disaster to you, and I am very afraid. I didn't know what it meant to be scared, but I finally understood that. ”

In the later period, Chang Yu's identity was still exposed, and for this reason, the emperor also specially sent a master to protect Chang Xile's comfort. Fortunately, Chang Xile has been hiding in Taoyuan Village, as long as he guards the pass, no one can do anything to him. Although I have experienced a few dangers, nothing has happened in the end.

Among them, there is the credit of a group of women's soldiers of Dayingzi, no matter how high the women's army's martial arts are, they can't go to the battlefield, and they are very sorry in their hearts. Now that I have the opportunity, I want to play my role again.

Chang Yu is famous outside, and everyone is happy and realizes that this will bring Chang Xile great danger. So they all invited themselves to serve as Chang Yu's bodyguards, if they protect other men, the family will be afraid to disagree, but the object is Chang Xile, and everyone can't wait to send themselves or their families to Chang Xile's bed.

Of course, it's not because of eroticism, but because I want to be protected at close range and never leave.

Chang Xile wanted to refuse, but this time the women's army was extremely stubborn and resolutely refused, Chang Xile had no choice but to agree, but he couldn't do it when he went to bed at night. The women's army compromised at this time, but they also let the men with high martial arts sleep on the side to protect. Chang Xile's majesty was invalidated at this time for the first time, and everyone did not listen to him at all this time.

Chang Xile also knew that he couldn't hold Chang Yu back, so after Chang Xile killed King Pingning, he set various traps in the Chang family's compound and his own courtyard. is also because of his precautions, as well as the results of training Taoyuan Village people over the years.

The Women's Army is not reckless for the sake of showing Xiàn, this is also because they have a martial arts like Dayingzi in their team that is stronger than men, and many strong men in the village have been picked away, and now the overall combat effectiveness is indeed inferior to the Women's Army. Moreover, because the Women's Army knew that no matter how much they practiced, it would be difficult to compare with men, so they liked to work some side doors, which may not be very useful on the battlefield, but it was very effective against assassins.

The same is true, several assassin assassination attempts have failed, and Chang Xile has not been able to detect a single hair. Once, even when he woke up the next day, Chang Xile learned that someone had come to kill him.

Chang Xile thought of those lovely women's soldiers, and there was a smile on his face, "I'm very good in the village, and the women's soldiers you trained are very powerful." Xing'er also captured one alive, and the county magistrate also gave her a plaque. If she hadn't been engaged, the second sister-in-law would have to worry about her marriage again. ”

Chang Yu saw that Chang Xile had calmed down, and he was relieved, and his first reaction when he was injured was that he was over, and he was going to be scolded when he went back.

Chang Xile is willing to scold now, and if Chang Yu hadn't made this move, this battle would not have been so smooth.

"By the way, why did you come back alone? What about the others? ”

"They're too slow, I want to see you sooner, so I'll be back first."

Chang Xile smiled and kissed him on the cheek, and Chang Yu did not kiss back domineeringly.

"What's wrong?"

"Some people died, and I couldn't bring them all back." Chang Yu's voice was muffled.

If it were in normal times, Chang Xile would definitely be happy that Chang Yu is becoming more and more emotional now, otherwise he wouldn't care about the life and death of other people, but now he doesn't have this mind.

Although he had expected such a result a long time ago, when he heard the affirmative answer, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes again. These people used to live vividly around him, their families and friends, their voices and movements are recorded in his mind, and now he is so dead in battle, and the infinite sadness in his heart makes him face the cruelty of war again.

"Who are they?"

"I wrote down all the names, and I came back early to get everyone ready, and we brought back the bones."

The joy of goodbye was overwhelmed by such sadness, especially when I saw the people crying when they got the news of their family's death, and my heart was even more sour.

At night, the two people hugged each other tightly and made love like crazy, as if in this way they could deeply realize that the other party was still alive and relieve the complicated feelings in their hearts.

They are all alive now, and they are still able to be together, not separated by yin and yang.
