Zou Yu returned to Jinyang, although Dou Jiande had not withdrawn his troops, and the Turks were still in the Hetao area, but he was not worried, because the news that came back showed that Dou Jiande's men and horses in Youzhou had begun to retreat, and it would naturally not take long on Pingzhou, and it was estimated that he was just thinking about how to evacuate safely.

As for the Turks, if Jieli Khan was smart, he should not come, after all, the last war has only been less than two years, and the lost strength has not recovered at all, not to mention that Xue Yantuo is far away, and Murowei is swaying.

Zou Yu's return to Jinyang has the effect of stabilizing people's hearts, after all, there are rumors everywhere outside that Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande attacked together, even if the war did not burn to the state, it is inevitable that the people will be worried, Zou Yu came back with a victorious attitude, so the people's hearts stabilized all of a sudden.

In particular, when the three thousand heavily armored guards, dressed in full-body armor and lined up in neat steps, stepped into the city, the people erupted in huge cheers.

The black and white sisters were dressed in military uniforms, with tears in their eyes, and looked at Zou Yu proudly, but when they saw a woman wearing peach blossom chain mail behind Zou Yu, their faces couldn't help but change slightly. After all, she is still a woman, and it will definitely be uncomfortable for her to find out that a woman is still a good-looking woman by her man's side.

Treat others with yourself, think about the two of you, and often wear armor, is it your own husband who loves this, the two sisters glanced at each other, and then suppressed the unhappiness in their hearts, and greeted them with a smile.

The people of Jinyang have taken it for granted that the two sisters are dressed in military uniforms, after all, to maintain law and order in the city, Hei Sumei has been doing it for a while, so when she saw the two sisters appear, the cheers were even louder, after all, beautiful women love to watch.

You must know that in these years, the common people are facing the loess with their backs to the sky, even if the teenage girls look either malnourished, thin and dark, or have rough skin, how can they be so exquisite.

This is also the reason why everyone is reluctant to go out, because along the way, everyone is peeking, or salivating, looking at it openly, that kind of look makes people very uncomfortable.

Zou Yu's side is naturally Li Xiuning, I don't know what she thinks, Zou Yu originally wanted to let her go, but she didn't leave, but wanted to follow to Jinyang, in the name of saying that in order for the two sides to have no contradictions in the future, they need to understand and communicate more.

On the battlefield, Zou Yu can kill anyone, but for women in private, he doesn't know how to refuse, so he has to let her. Thinking that she was alone anyway, as long as she didn't know those secrets.

Li Xiuning said to be honest, he was very surprised along the way, Jinyang's side has only fallen into the hands of Zou Yu for two years, and he has completely changed his appearance.

Not far from entering Bingzhou, she found a different place, a patch of green brick houses, lined up in the countryside, and the common people were driving away the sparrows to protect the crops that were about to be harvested.

The road is also different, unlike the previous official roads, which are full of potholes, but paved with a layer of pure stones, which is not only spacious and smooth, but also looks very beautiful. The war horse stepped on it, and the sound was very crisp.

There are a lot of farmland in Bingzhou, one after another, and on some open land, rows of trees are planted, which are very neat, and they are artificially planted at first glance, Li Xiuning guesses that it is not suitable for growing food, and it should be fruit trees.

Flocks of chickens and ducks, the sound of dogs, a large flock, chickens and ducks in the wilderness, by the river, leisurely walking, at a glance, it is estimated that there are thousands, if there are many chickens and ducks, Li Xiuning is very surprised, but also thinks that it is beneficial to the people, then there are many dogs, so she can't understand, three or five dogs can be seen on the road from time to time, just like patrolling the territory of the general walking.

Of course she didn't know that there were a lot of farms, pastures, and dogs in every farm, pasture, and dog under the rule of Jinyang, and they were not used to protect their hometowns, but to defend against wild beasts.

In fact, after a year of clearing by the city guards, the large beasts near the settlement are basically gone, of course, the exception of Liaodong, which is sparsely populated, there are many mountains and forests, and all kinds of fierce beasts emerge in endlessly.

Breeding, must be on the scale, Zou Yu has always done this, including wild boars, because he caught a lot of cubs, and now there are hundreds, of course, the most are deer.

Li Xiuning of Jinyang City has been here many times, and even lived here for a short time, so she is very familiar, but after entering the city, she was stunned part-time, because she couldn't find a familiar place, if it wasn't for the city gate, she thought it was somewhere else.

The street was wider, big enough for four carriages to walk side by side, and there were pedestrians walking next to it, and the road was made of something she didn't recognize, smooth and smooth! The houses on both sides of the road are all two-story buildings, blue brick houses, the kind of houses made of mud in the past, I can never see a place again, the key is the glass window, the huge glass inlaid in the wood, the window made, if it is not for all the houses like this, Li Xiuning simply thought that this is the palace, even if the Chang'an Palace, there is no luxury to the point of using glass as a window.

She has two mirrors, I heard that they were sold by Jinyang, thousands of them, and they were bought at a reduced price later.

Of course, she doesn't know that there are not many glasses that can be used to make mirrors, these are used to make windows, they are very bubbles, there is no other use, these low-end products, people in the family can't look down on, and they are not qualified for collection, and glass transportation is a big problem, even if it is wrapped in straw and transported by the current carriage, the cost is too high, the cost is high, and there are few people who buy it, so it is better to keep it.

Glass windows, even if they are poor, have better light transmittance than paper, and with glass windows, people's homes are much brighter, not as dim as before, and they can't see anything without lighting during the day.

Jinyang to the people to repair the house, naturally it is not free, you need to work to pay back, pay back in installments, although it takes eight years and ten years, the people are still very happy, after all, for the people, home is the most important, there is a house, there is a home, this concept is deep-rooted.

The most important point is that the mortgage house is not like the later bank mortgage, and the interest rate is still high.

Of course, as the capital of the imperial court, Jinyang is more of a shop and an official's house, and the shops are not seen, Li Xiuning saw her brother's house.

After Li Yuanba finished beating Wang Shichong's people, he returned to Jinyang, because Zou Yu didn't want him to fight with the people of the Li family, after all, Li Yuan was also his father, even if he was not his own father.

Li Xiuning went to Li Yuanba's mansion, and she also asked after asking, Zou Yu agreed, knowing that she must want to pick up the opportunity to win over, but Zou Yu didn't intend to stop it, because Li Yuanba really wanted to leave, and no one could stop it.

Li Yuanba's mansion, Zou Yu has been renovated with great care, floor tiles, wall tiles, hot water supply, sofas, seats, tables, and wardrobes are all made according to the appearance of later generations.

Of course, there will be no shortage of maids, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Turkic, which was originally Zou Yu's kindness, but Li Yuanba has always cared about it, just let the housekeeper be responsible.

He didn't react much to Li Xiuning's arrival, because although Li Xiuning treated him well in person, it was just good! There weren't many times when the two met, Li Xiuning didn't bully him, he remembered this, so he just asked his subordinates to entertain him well, and he was still very strange to getting along with people, especially since the two hadn't seen each other for several years.

Li Xiuning looked at the younger brother in front of her tangledly, she couldn't have imagined that the younger brother who was a little crazy in the past, often destroyed the family, and was locked up by his father, now has the title of the world's number one master.

This is the first in the world, or kill the Turks, one person! Double hammer! Tens of thousands of people retreated, and tens of thousands of people were chased and killed by a single person for thirty miles.

Li Xiuning knew that everyone outside was laughing at them, laughing at Li Yuan, and his son didn't help him when he helped others.

"Fourth brother, go home, no matter how good it is outside, it's not home." Li Xiuning said gently.

"This is my home, where am I going?" Although Li Yuanba doesn't like to talk to others, he is very clear-headed. He looked up at Li Xiuning with curious eyes and asked.

"Although my father didn't care much about you before, it was because he was busy, but in fact, he still thought about you in his heart, and he also gave you the title of King Zhao, and the palace was kept." Li Xiuning continued to persuade.

"I know, Brother Zou told me a long time ago, but it's not uncommon! That King Zhao, let's leave it to Li Yuan for his own use. Li Yuanba said coldly.

"Fourth brother, why do you say this about your father!" Li Xiuning frowned and said with a slight displeasure.

"Huh! What do you want me to say? Li Yuan's old immortal? Or do you want me to go back and admit my mistakes, kneel down and beg Li Yuan to take me in? Li Yuanba sneered.

"Fourth brother, you..."

"Enough! You don't know why! Li Yuanba's eyes were red, his face changed, he stood up, interrupted Li Xiuning's words, and shouted.

"Fourth brother, did you hear what others said?" Li Xiuning looked at the angry Li Yuanba, and frowned.

"Nobody told me anything! It's all my own experience! Li Yuan put me in a cage, locked me up with iron chains, and handed me over to Li Yuanji for torture! I didn't kill them, and I was already generous. Li Yuanba took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Father locked you up, it's also for your good, at that time you were a little unconscious, often ruined the house without saying anything, and you would get into trouble when you went out." Li Xiuning explained, changing the topic and continuing: "As for Yuanji, maybe it's just to play tricks on you. When I get back, I'll ask him to apologize to you. ”

"Huh! Tricking, do you know, if it weren't for Brother Zou to save me, I would have starved to death! Do you know that Li Yuan, who is old and immortal, secretly came to torture me when he was angry! Punch and kick, whip pump! Stool smashing! If it weren't for my hard life! Where can I survive to this day! Li Yuanba leaned forward and said with a distorted face.

"It can't be! How could your father treat you like this, the tiger poison still doesn't eat the child, let alone the father. Li Xiuning's eyes widened in fright by Li Yuanba's words, and then shook his head again and again.

"Haha! Ha ha! Tiger poison does not eat children! Li Yuanba looked up to the sky and laughed, muttered, and then lowered his head to stare at Li Xiuning, and said gloomily: "What if it's not biological?" ”

"How is this possible, who is talking nonsense, I watched you be born back then. Someone must have made it up to tell you! Li Xiuning shook his head violently and said.

"Haha! No one told me! If anyone told me, it was Li Yuan himself! Every time I come to me to vent my anger, I will say something, thinking that I am a fool, how do I know, when I wake up, the previous things are vivid. Li Yuanba laughed again.

"It's... This... How is this possible! Something must have gone wrong. I saw it with my own eyes, and you were picked up from your room. Li Xiuning said in shock.

"I didn't say it wasn't born by my mother!" Li Yuanba's eyes closed.

"Yuanba!" Li Xiuning slapped the table angrily, stood up, pointed at Li Yuanba and said sternly: "How can you slander your mother like this!" ”

This is what Li Yuan said himself! If you don't believe me, ask him! Li Yuanji and I are biological brothers, and you are just half-brothers! Li Yuanba was unmoved and said coldly.

Li Yuanba said so seriously, Li Xiuning saw that he was not talking nonsense, and couldn't help but be speechless, because she really didn't know what to say, this matter was also related to her deceased mother, and there was another hidden meaning in it, but she was a child, and she had no right to ask about this.

This situation was completely unexpected, and at the same time it also disrupted her plan, originally her plan was to win over Li Yuanba, at least with the help of his strength, to find out how the strength of the Jinyang Imperial Court was, especially what she saw along the way, and the development of Bingzhou in two years surpassed that of Guanzhong, which made her even more anxious.

The plan is not as good as the change, Li Yuanba failed to win over, and she was embarrassed to stay here.

"You live here recently, if you have something, you can tell your subordinates, I usually don't care about the affairs of the house." As if seeing Li Xiuning's uneasiness, Li Yuanba said lightly.

"That's fine, I'll trouble you fourth brother." Li Xiuning said with a sigh of relief. At present, in addition to Li Yuanba in Jinyang, she is really a smear, there are a few people who know the name, but where she lives, these need to be investigated, and she can't visit rashly, she doesn't know if Zou Yu knows that she is inquiring about the news, she will be angry and kill her.

"Don't go to inquire, and don't think about wooing others, or don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." Li Yuanba admonished.

"Why? Even if you don't go back, there's no need to stop the second sister, right? Li Xiuning asked puzzled.

"Because this is Brother Zou's territory, because Brother Zou cares about me, that's enough!" Li Yuanba replied expressionlessly.

"Yuanba, you are still young, you can't see others clearly, is it hypocritical, it may just want to take advantage of you." Li Xiuning said earnestly.
