In the wing room, Qing Shu stood in front of the window, looking at An Rongjing's departing back, and lowered his eyebrows and meditated.

"Sister, don't you eat your cold skin? It shouldn't taste good for a while. Qingyang said while protecting Qingshu's bowl.

Qing Shu turned around with a smile on her face, "Sister is full, let Xiaojuan and them eat it!" ”

"Hmm, give it to me, give it to me." Chen Qiaojiang ate it in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to take Qingshu's bowl of untouched cold skin.

"No, you can't. You've already eaten two bowls, and it's going to be bad for you to eat again. The same goes for you. Qing Shu glanced at Qingyang and them one by one, and then motioned for Xiao Juan to leave.

Xiaojuan thanked her, took a whole bowl of cold skin out, and called Xiaoya and Xiaoyu to eat together.

Everyone was full of cold skin, and lunch was naturally free. After Qingyang and them had eaten for two quarters of an hour, Qingshu drove them to take a nap, and then sat alone in the house thinking about their thoughts. This mansion happened twice before and after the bloody events, and she was so disgusted that she didn't want to live anymore. In the winter, if the new mansion cannot be built, perhaps she can take the whole mansion to live in the forty blue brick houses on the wasteland. Before winter, all the floor heating pipes must be made and installed.

"Miss, Su's mother asks to see you." Xiaojuan stood outside the door and passed the word.

Qing Shu retracted his thoughts and sat up straight, "Please." ”

Mother Su came in with a smile, "Miss, the government has come to pass the word, saying that a hundred ploughing cattle given by the emperor have arrived, and the government wants to send someone over to receive it quickly." ”

This is indeed a happy event, and Qing Shu immediately had a smile on his face, "Quick, let the housekeeper pick enough people to go over and take the ploughing cattle." ”

"Yes, miss." Su's mother hurriedly wanted to leave.

"Wait, wait, let Steward Ding go and invite the safety guards to come over. And the errand of a hundred oxen to the wasteland was handed over to them. "There are new cowsheds and stables on the other side of the wasteland, all empty, and this is where they come in handy. The reason for building a cowshed and a stable is not that Qingshu has the ability to predict the future, but because he considers that when the fifty hectares of fertile land become his own, the seventeen ploughing oxen and three horses raised on the Zhuangzi are completely insufficient, and it becomes an urgent matter to add livestock.

Also, she has considered raising cows. Raising cows not only breeds herds, but also milks cows when they give birth to calves. She wasn't sure if everyone would accept drinking milk, but she loved it. So she had a barn for about 50 cows and a stable for a dozen horses.

Mother Su listened to Qingshu's instructions and hurriedly said, "Miss, Steward Ding is busy with Tu Nuan's affairs." ”

Qing Shu reacted, "I actually forgot about this." Then let the steward send someone else. "This is the overjoyed table xiàn. A few or a dozen ploughing oxen, a few more places, and a little more silver can be bought. But it's not easy to buy 100 head of farming cattle.

So, after attracting countless onlookers, the ancient steward personally followed the safety guards to drive the hundred ploughing cattle to the wasteland.

That night, Gu Ruixing arranged a guard net in the ancient mansion that was different from the previous night, but the alert state was still at the highest level.

Du Guard, Du Zhongxia, and Luo Guard, Luo San, saw this qiē in their eyes.

"What do you think?" Luo San sat on the wall and wiped the sword in his hand and asked.

"Didn't you foresee it? What is there to ask? Guard Du inserted the dagger he was playing with back into his leggings, "You should go back and rest, remember to come and replace me when the time comes." ”

"When we decided to come back, we thought we might be in trouble. But our guess at the time was that there would be at least a few years of calm, but we didn't expect it to come so soon. ”

"It's early." When the words fell, Du Huwei disappeared into the darkness.

Guard Luo sighed and looked up in the direction of the north. I don't know who I thought of, and an inexplicable melancholy welled up in his heart. Soon, he shook his head, jumped off the wall and went back to sleep.

When Gu Ruixing was personally leading the patrol, he saw a flash of black shadow under the wall of the front yard. He immediately followed, "Escort Du, stay behind." ”

Escort Du retreated, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Ruixing asked knowingly, "Why did you collect all the bells on the wall tonight?" ”

The expressionless Du Guard stretched out his hand and pointed to the leaves on his side, the leaves on the thin branches that fluttered in the wind, "What do you see?" ”

"Leaves."

Escort Du turned around and left.

"Don't, don't go. No, it's not, why are you so stingy. But it's a leaf! Do you want Ben Gongzi to say more clearly, saying that the vegetable leaves are not successful? ”

Escort Du didn't stop, and walked straight away.

Gu Ruixing was about to chase after him, but one of the guards of the ancient mansion stopped him and explained what the Du guards didn't bother to explain, "Lord Gu, it's windy tonight, and the bell on the wall can't play a warning role, but its sound in the wind will disturb the sight and sound of his own people, giving the violator a chance." So, on a windless night, the bell would be strung on the wall as a warning. If it's a windy night, and the wind can make the bell ring non-stop, it will definitely be removed.

"Who came up with it? This bell is dismantled and installed every day, and it is broken and broken, how troublesome! ”

"Naturally, everyone came up with it together." The man hurriedly went to his place on duty, and did not react to the comment of the trouble given by Gu Ruixing.

Gu Ruixing stared at the man's back and nodded thoughtfully. "The family in this house is a little interesting." Some of the family members in the ancient mansion are very ordinary and have average skills; Some are very good, taciturn and unfathomable, and their external identities are family members, in fact, they are called Eagle Guards. The one who just spoke, eight or nine is not far from ten, is an ordinary family, and it is unlikely to be Eagle Guard. Because of the Eagleguard's silence and low profile, he had seen it.

At the same time, five black-clothed masked people appeared on the mass grave. Two people were holding torches for light, two were digging pits, and the leader-like figure stood by.

After a long time, after digging a large pit and inspecting the situation in the pit, one of the tall and thin men replied, "Back to the master, there are thirty-eight corpses buried here. The subordinates thought that maybe one of them had managed to escape. "The men sent by the master must have been thirty-nine, and they inquired that no one had been captured alive. Since the number of people buried here is not matched, the remaining one should have escaped.

"Perhaps? What Mrs. Ben wants to hear is not the word maybe, but what Mrs. Ben wants is exact news. The woman's voice was soft and slow.

The tall and thin man was frightened by such a voice and knelt on the ground, "The subordinates should be damned, please forgive the master, and the subordinates will do their best to find the thirty-ninth person." "The thirty-ninth is the leader of the thirty-eight who died. He recognized the body, not only by looking at the face, but also by the mark on the arm. He had carefully confirmed, and there was no mistake, there was no body of the leader in charge of last night's operation.

"Mrs. Ben took the risk of sending someone to find out the terrain of the ancient mansion for you, but you messed up a bunch of waste." She was furious. The thirty-eight dead soldiers that Niangniang has cultivated over the years are gone, how can this be reasonable. There were nearly 100 officers and soldiers inside and outside the ancient mansion who secretly appeared, and none of her people found out in advance, all of them were waste.

was reprimanded by the woman, and the four men in black didn't say a word, just lowered their heads and listened.

"I'll give you one last chance. You must kill the target within five days, or you will come back. The woman's voice softly put down the harsh words, flicked her sleeves and left.

In this way, the two men in black hurriedly followed behind the woman, and the remaining two men in black hastily added the big pit they had dug, and then took the tools and left.

After all the men had left, a man climbed down from a large tree not far away. "What are you looking for? Grandpa had already solved the thirty-ninth person for you. Women are so unreasonable, will they die if they stop a little? The man muttered and left the mass grave.

At dawn, the darkness of a qiē was dispelled by light. A place like a mass grave is a place where wild dogs are infested at night, and as long as it is a normal person, they will not go. Even in the daytime, if there is no reason to go, the ancients who had many taboos would not appear there. Therefore, no one knew that someone had dug up the earth and examined the body of the deceased, except for the one hiding in the tree.

At noon, when it was the hottest time, a man lay in a long pavilion on a ten-mile slope outside the town of Kangxi. This person was dressed in coarse cloth, his hair was neatly combed, but the hem of his robe was scratched. At this moment, he grabbed a wine gourd in his hand, and was lying on the long stone chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and drank one sip after another.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. When a group of people roared past in front of the long pavilion, he shouted, "Young man, please stay." A group of people galloped by, he stuffed the stopper of the wine gourd, closed his eyes, and shook the upturned legs, leisurely.

After a short time, a group of people who had already rushed past turned their horses' heads and returned to the long pavilion. Zhou Boyan, who was the leader, asked his subordinates to wait and drove his horse to the long pavilion. He tapped the mount on the neck twice, and the black horse stepped forward a little more. The black horse's head was just above the head of the man lying on his back, and it snorted loudly at a face below.

An Rongjing, who was sprayed with saliva by the dark horse, immediately turned his face away and wiped his face with his sleeve, "You kid, why are you so bad?" ”

Zhou Boyan looked at him condescendingly, "What are you doing here?" ”

He sat up angrily, and his face almost touched the horse's mouth. He dodged away, sat up, pointed to the nose of the black horse and scolded, "Okay, you, if you have a virtue with your master, you will know how to bully the eldest brother." ”

The black horse snorted haughtily and spun around twice in place, not seeming to like to stay here. Zhou Boyan patted the black horse's head and said when it quieted down, "Since it's okay, let's take the first step." ”

"Don't. Come down, hurry down, big brother has something to talk to you about, very important matter. An Rongjing has to admit that his younger brother was a little more fun when he was a child, but he became more and more boring when he got older.

Zhou Boyan didn't disagree with him, got off the horse, and stood next to him with the reins, "What's the matter?" ”

This time, he didn't go around the bend, and directly picked out the topic, "How did the ancient mansion offend the queen?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"
