Chapter 390: Strength

"The people of Yecheng are also wolf-hearted, they didn't eat less of the food of the young grandmother's good hall, and their children went to school in vain. My old man was sick and injured, and the medicine in the hospital was simply given for nothing. Now it's just a section of the city wall, what does it have to do with the second master.

The city wall was not built by the second master. Even if you want to complain, you should also complain about the person who built the city wall, how can you complain about the second master. Yuhui said indignantly.

Xie Ke sighed lightly in his heart.

If the people could be so sensible, there would not be so much strife in the world.

The people are the people after all, there are not many literate people, and even fewer people who understand reason.

Their ideas and perceptions are naturally easy to be incited and exploited. A vision from heaven can scare their souls. Not to mention that if someone has a heart to make up the story like a god, those stupid people have no ability to discern it, so they will believe it as a matter of course. Xie Ke just didn't know which one was the black hand who was always fanning the flames behind their husband and wife?

Anyone who can doubt has doubted it, but it seems that all of them have a reason, and none of them can do it.

After all, they had already avoided Yecheng. Why did the black hand still insist on holding Qi Lu...... This doesn't make sense, this really doesn't make sense, Xie Ke is simply anxious about it.

Even the emperor would not hold on to Qi Lu like this, so who else in this world would have such a 'deep love' for Qi Lu and a posture that Qi Lu would not die and would not give up on convenience.

At this time, Xie Ke couldn't help but secretly hate his loneliness in his previous life, if he knew more about the court situation. Maybe at this time, there will not be a feeling that there is only the ability to parry, and there is no defense. "Young grandmothers don't have to worry, even the people are stupid, but they will never go without food and starve to death for the whole family. Our good hall, they will enter after all. At that time, eat people softly, and see what else they have to justify. Seeing Xie Ke's solemn expression, Yuhui couldn't help but comfort.

Xie Ke was amused by Yuhui's hateful expression and the tone of Shi Shan's words.

“…… Until then. Ate our meal. Rather, they felt that they were giving us charity. Having said that, her original intention of opening a charity hall was lost.

She is an inner house woman, a little woman who just wants to live with her husband and daughter, her heart. There is no big one to be inclusive of the world. There are many people in the world. She is not the reincarnation of a bodhisattva, and she can't make herself responsible for the lives of so many people. The reason why she is willing to contribute money is just to let her husband gain a foothold in Yecheng quickly. So much for.

She is not the kind of white lotus who comes out of the mud and is not stained, she will not let the other party scold herself, and at the same time fill the other party's stomach with reluctance, that is not a grace, that is a lack of scolding and beating. That kind of stupid thing, Xie Ke disdains to do. Originally, everything was going very well, but it was just a small negligence, or a small ploy by the other party, so that Xie Ke's previous efforts would be wasted, and she was naturally unwilling.

After listening to Xie Ke's words, Yuhui couldn't help but be silent.

Yes, the good hall is open, and the food is from the young grandmother, and it is useless for the people of Yecheng to give a penny.

Let them eat for nothing, but they will not eat it.

That is, why do they do that thankless task? It's just that Yuhui thinks that she has shallow knowledge, so naturally she won't talk too much at this time, at this time, the only thing she can do is take care of the little county lord for her young grandmother. In this way, the young grandmother can help the second master without distraction. And Xie Ke is thinking most about it right now is not Shantang, but Qi Lu, Zhou Ziqiu's face was very ugly when he left in the morning, and he didn't know ......

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps under the porch, and then Shui Qing opened the curtain with a happy face.

"Young grandma, there is a guest asking to see."

"Who?"

“…… He's sister-in-law. ”

***

At the east gate of Yecheng, Qi Lu stood in the wind with his hand. The thin figure of the young man became more and more slender in the cold wind.

Even if the wind and sand in Yecheng blew for a month, he couldn't blow Qi Lu black a few points, he still doesn't look like a Yecheng person, he still looks like a noble son in the capital. Zhou Ziqiu stood behind Qi Lu with a trembling body at this time, his face was white and almost bloodless.

At this time, they stood by the broken wall, and the collapsed part of the city wall was not far from the east gate of Yecheng, but it was only a hundred zhang away.

Speaking of this city wall, in fact, it is not a big deal to fall a few wall bricks from time to time. After all, it's a long time ago, but this east city wall shouldn't be. The reason is that this was personally supervised by Zhou Ziqiu after he took office, and Zhou Ziqiu would not be in a hurry to do this if the city wall in the south and northwest was broken, but only this east city wall ...... He **** came to supervise the work, and he stayed here almost all the time, although he didn't dare to call it as solid as a rock, but he shouldn't have collapsed like this after a wind.

Zhou Ziqiu is not very bold, especially in front of Qi Lu, he is often even more silent.

He felt that this master from the capital was surrounded by a sense of anger, as well as a sense of nobility, and the arrogance naturally made him dare not behave in front of the second master, as for the innate nobility that Zhou seemed to be born with, it made Zhou Ziqiu feel that he was standing with Qi Lu, and his heart was full of inferiority.

No matter where this master stands, it's a scene.

In this beautiful picture, the only one who shouldn't be there seems to be him is the only one who shouldn't be.

It's easy to look forward to this master moving into the new house, and the couple has just breathed a sigh of relief, but they don't want to live a few good days. Something so big happened.

"Second Master Mingjian, this city wall was personally supervised by his subordinates, and it was the best in terms of materials and craftsmen at that time. But ...... "But in just a few years, the city walls that had been in disrepair for a long time did not collapse, but the newly built city walls collapsed in large areas." In the mottled rubble, you can see the moat and the dry sand beside the moat. Piece by piece, almost yellow, dizzy people's eyes.

The moat is naturally a decoration, Yecheng has little water, and the moat of Yecheng has no water all year round, if there is a foreign enemy attacking, it can also rely on this distance to block the enemy.

Qi Lu didn't speak, and his face was about to come. Zhou Ziqiu was full of fear, if there was a land, he really wanted to hide in the crack of the ground immediately.

On weekdays, he felt that this Second Master Qi had scared him very much, and at this time, he was even more afraid. But he can't hide. He also knew that as soon as this incident came out, he had a big plan to hurt Second Master Qi.

Since the second master Qi came to Yecheng, he has been dedicated to the well-being of the people of Yecheng, opening a good hall, building a school, and opening a medical hall, almost all of which have won the hearts of the people.

But all the efforts were shattered by this section of the city wall that should not have been a problem. Zhou Ziqiu saw his efforts with his own eyes and saw the good days that the people of Yecheng were expected to come. As the county magistrate of Yecheng, he considered himself incompetent. Even if he is full of ambition. On his own, he still can't feed tens of thousands of people in Yecheng.

The arrival of Qi Lu made Zhou Ziqiu see the dawn, and Yecheng got rid of poverty and ushered in the dawn of a new life. I just didn't expect it. Just when everything is in order. But something like this happened. And as soon as this matter came out. Rumors about Qi Lu also seemed to spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng in an instant. So that those people who don't know why misheard and misbelieved, and even erased all the good intentions that Second Master Qi had done before.

What a disgraceful thing it is.

Partial, he has no choice. At this time, he opened his mouth, and he was only regarded by the people as a courtier who was in the same stream.

A moment later, Lin Changyuan and several guards walked out of the rubble. "Second master, I can't see it. The bricks were not adulterated. And when it was built, it was mixed with rice milk, which was very strong, but it collapsed a large section inexplicably. "It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable.

There is no shortage of people around Qi Lu, and if he is reasonable, he is really full of talents. The few guards that Lin Changyuan brought with him knew some ways. The new house is also the most contribution. From site selection to construction, from material selection to final completion, although several people are unknown, they have the ability.

Since they said that they couldn't see it, Qi Lu knew that there was no need to check it, it must be impossible to find out.

It's really unfortunate to say.

I thought it was someone deliberately sabotage, but I didn't want to find out the unclear result...... "How many days does it take to repair?" "Since he can't find out, Qi Lu won't drill the tip of the bull's horns. The most important thing at this time is to repair the walls as quickly as possible. Although the poor in Yecheng can't even be interested in robbing the robbers, but the night is long and dreamy, and once the news of his arrival in Yecheng comes out, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no ill-intentioned. It's better to make up for it quickly to be reassuring.

"The area of damage is not small, and the surrounding walls are also cracked. If it is repaired, I am afraid it will take more than ten days. One of the guards pondered for a moment, and the rest nodded in agreement.

Qi Lu nodded coldly. "Within ten days, it will be repaired." Several of the guards were silent, and Qi Lu had already turned around without waiting for them to nod.

"Second master, should we go out of the city to take a look, this city wall is really bad, and my subordinates are worried that someone did it deliberately." Zhou Ziqiu hurriedly trotted a few steps to Qi Lu, but his liver trembled, and he barely expressed his meaning completely.

If someone does it deliberately, what is the intention of the other person?

Zhou Ziqiu felt that Yecheng really had nothing to plan for, and it was a poor place that was famous in the whole Great Wei.

Even if the robbers are blind, they will never choose the realm of Yecheng to rob, because the final result must be to starve themselves to death.

But when Qi Lu arrived, it was different.

This lord is from the capital, and he has a very high status in the capital, and everything he has done in the past two years can be called miracles. Zhou Ziqiu's delayed news network finally gave him the news...... Qi Lu went south for disaster relief, and finally Chenggong saved tens of thousands of disaster victims, and formed a friendly alliance with the south, Zhou Ziqiu finally knew.

At this time, Qi Lu was a magical existence in Zhou Ziqiu's eyes. No matter what happens, as long as it is handed over to this Second Master Qi, there is nothing that cannot be done.

North, South...... Along the way, Qi Lu's reputation has also changed from being full of evil in the past to being famous now.

So this matter is very strange, and there seems to be something man-made in it, Zhou Ziqiu was not so frightened that he rolled his eyes on the spot, but he has always been cautious, and he still thinks that it is better to investigate it, so he boldly proposed. Qi Lu glanced at Zhou Ziqiu with a smile, and with just one glance, this Zhou County Lingsheng stopped his steps, and those words that he wanted to explain were swallowed into his stomach.

“…… Let's go. In the end, Qi Lu actually chuckled and opened his mouth. Zhou Ziqiu was almost stupid, and it took a long time to react that his suggestion was adopted. couldn't help but be overjoyed, but when he thought of the series of consequences caused by this broken wall, he lowered his head again and sighed.

Qi Lu took Lin Changyuan and more than a dozen guards out of the city gate, and Zhou Ziqiu followed around.

Out of Yecheng, there is a piece of yellow as far as the eye can see. In the city, the wind is still lighter, but once you get out of the city gate, the wind sweeps the yellow sand, and it can overturn people almost instantly.

When you speak at a distance from a distance, not only will the other party not hear clearly, but you will find a mouth full of sand after you close your mouth. The guards from the capital naturally had never experienced this kind of formation, and they all had sad faces.

Lin Changyuan rode his horse to Qi Lu's side.

Please indicate what to do next. Qi Lu's figure stood straight in the wind, and it seemed that no matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.

The guards saw this. There seemed to be a wave of heat surging in my heart. They also traveled all the way from the capital to the north, returned to the capital from the north, and followed Qi Lu to the south...... They have not experienced any suffering, and they will be afraid of this Yecheng storm. So Zhou Ziqiu was fortunate to witness a group of Qi guards. But in an instant, the process from decadence to high-spiritedness is achieved.

It is Zhou Ziqiu, who is trying to shrink into a ball. In such a silent but solemn scene. I couldn't help but straighten my waist.

"Over there." Qi Lu looked at it for a long time, and finally raised his hand and pointed at it.

The next moment, the horse's hooves were raised......

***

Yecheng. Qi House.

Xie Ke thought he had misheard. He's sister-in-law, if she has a good memory.

It seems that the only person who can be called the son of the He family is He Zhang...... The He clan was in the direction of the extreme east of the Great Wei, while Yecheng was in the west, and from east to west, almost the entire territory of the Great Wei Dynasty was traversed.

What surprised Xie Ke the most was that why did He Zhang come?

Although when He Zhang left, he had said that he would be a servant for one day and be driven by Qi Lu for life, but the news of their coming to the fiefdom, I am afraid that at this time, it can only reach the He family. But I didn't want He Zhang to appear.

"Is it Ah Zhang?" Xie Ke opened his mouth in disbelief.

Shui Qing nodded, to be honest, she was also surprised when the door came to report the time, but He Zhang came at this time, which was naturally excellent.

At present, the master is employing people, and the arrival of He Zhang is naturally like a tiger.

“…… Please go to the flower hall. Xie Ke said quickly and concisely, Shui Qing took the order, and turned around to pass the word. Yuhui piled up a large ball of embroidery thread in front of Mingyue, making the little girl happy, and then got up to freshen up and change Xie Ke's clothes.

In this place, wearing light-colored dresses really makes a mess for the girls, and as soon as they go out, the light color turns dirty when the wind blows.

And there is little water in Yecheng, Xie Ke can also save but save at the moment, and finally Xie Ke wore a dark green hat, a coat of the same color, and a black coat before going out, so he picked the curtain and took the two little girls to the front hall to meet the guests.

As soon as he went out, a cold wind hit with a chill, Xie Ke shrank back, and secretly sighed that he was really well-informed in this life.

The north is covered in snow, the ice and snow, the south is full of smoke and swamps, and now I have seen what it means to be a howling wind and gravel. While sighing, he quickened his pace.

When she stepped into the flower hall, she felt that she had finally escaped and ascended. The girl helped Xie Ke take off the big hat, and then quietly stepped aside, and then Xie Ke raised his eyes to look at it......

Congratulations, it's really a congratulations.

After a few months of separation, He Zhang seems to have changed a little, he is thinner, and he is darker.

Seeing Xie Ke, He Zhang knelt on the ground with a thud, and when he opened his mouth to call 'young grandma', he was already choked.

When Xie Ke saw this, his heart was also sour.

After several years of master and servant, separated overnight, He Zhang was unwilling, but as a son-in-law in the family, he had his responsibilities. Since He Zhang left, although Qi Lu didn't say anything, Xie Ke knew that Qi Lu was reluctant to give up He Zhang in his heart. Fortunately, we can still see each other in my lifetime. "Ah Zhang, get up quickly." Xie Ke stepped forward to help him, where did He Zhang dare to really let Xie Ke support him, so he had to quickly straighten up, and then stood in front of Xie Ke. The distance between Zhang Xu and Xu was like the look he had when he often listened to Xie Ke's orders before, and the distance between Zhang Xu and Xu seemed to have never left.

"Ah Zhang, why are you here?" And it came so quietly, so quietly.

"Young grandmother, subordinate...... The subordinates were not worried about the second master, so after receiving the news that the second master had been closed for a few days, he hurried out of the house. Before leaving Beijing, Qi Lu had closed his door for several days, which in the eyes of the emperor was naturally a manifestation of the death of his sad wife.

A few days later, Xie Ke entered the palace to ask for his life.

In the end, he took their mother and daughter to Yecheng.

Unexpectedly, He Zhang saw that Qi Lu had an accident so early, and rushed to it desperately. "Your house?" "My second brother is in charge of the house." He Zhang left the capital in a word, afraid of encountering Daoming.

Although He Zhang didn't say much, Xie Ke was still shocked.

"Young grandmother don't worry, my second brother has a good temperament. I have already arranged all the arrangements.

If the second master has a ...... He will do his best to help. When He Zhang said this, his eyes were shining.

Xie Ke's eyes flashed when he heard this.

She knew that the He family was ******, and whenever He's father entered Beijing, he stayed in the prince's mansion in a grand manner, and was treated as a guest by the prince. But He Zhang said at this time...... "It seems that you have gained a lot from returning to He's this time." In the end, Xie Ke said with a light smile.

He Zhang nodded.

There was finally a bit of pride in his eyes.

Although he was a guard in Qi Lu's hands, he was born in Gaomen, and he grew up being flattered since he was a child. It's just that in the end, he took a path that was diametrically opposed to his origin. is that the clan is dissatisfied, and he has never regretted it.

People are alive and can meet a confidant like their second master, although they are dead, they are still happy.

After saying this, He Zhang changed his words and talked about Yecheng. Xie Ke naturally told everything that had happened recently. Including how the emperor sent Gyeonggi Wei into the palace, and how he 'cheated death' to escape. Naturally, Cong Rui's matter, she can't hide it, and she doesn't plan to hide it.

He Zhang listened quietly together, even when he heard Cong Rui die for the protector, there was no strange expression on his face, but his clenched fists still revealed his mood.

For Cong Rui, He Zhang also sincerely admired it.

It's just that......

Fate makes a fool of you. Eventually, he chose to let go. He thought that his letting go was fulfillment.
