"Don't mess around, now that Xiong Wencan has been dismissed from office, he is replaced by Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this person is much more difficult to deal with than that Xiong Wencan, and this time he also brought thousands of soldiers and horses to take office, if we make too much noise and attract his attention, I am afraid that we will immediately send troops to encircle and suppress."

Mrs. Li put down the pen and shook her head solemnly, obviously the eyeliner of the Black Mountain Cottage has spread all over the entire Xiangyang territory.

"Madame, don't worry, with our current strength, even if the official army comes to encircle and suppress, we can't help it."

Qin Shuang's chest was thumping, and he was even a little eager to try.

Because the original thousand little beggars have already become all alive and vigorous, each with a fire hammer in his hand, and a complete set of cotton armor and helmets, they are almost armed to the teeth.

"Hey! Now that the son doesn't know where he is, what is the current situation, let's not make any more extraneous branches, just guard the black mountain village. ”

Xiao Xinru said, her tone couldn't help but become sad again, but her heart was full of thoughts and worries, since Gongzi took people across the Han River and went to Henan, he completely cut off contact.

So she just wants to keep this little family business for her son now, so that if her son loses in the future, she will have a place to stay when she comes back.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuang drooped his head and nodded.

The brothers have been training for more than half a year, and they have long been suffocated, and they are waiting every day to kill the enemy and be promoted for meritorious service, but they can't help but listen to Mrs. 's words, and they are really a little aggrieved.

"In this way, in the future, the literary examination will be held once a month, and the martial arts examination will be held once every two months, and the top ten will be promoted to one level."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Xinru also sighed lightly and said slowly.

Obviously, they also know that these teenagers have inherited Qin Yu's belligerence, and they are always locked up in the cottage for a long time, so they are afraid that they will give birth to chaos, so they plan to reduce the time for weekday practice and increase the time for reading and writing.

"Great, ma'am, so that the brothers don't complain every day." Qin's eyes lit up, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Many of his brothers are still treated as soldiers, on the other hand, some diligent and obedient old people and children have become veterans, which makes them hold the fire gun in their hands, and if they don't complain, there will be ghosts, now it's good, and they finally have a chance to be promoted.

The people of the villages in Heishi Town, not only did not appreciate the little thieves who came to collect grain and drove them away, but took it for granted.

As a result, when Qin Shuang and the others took the title deed to collect rent, the people still didn't buy it and hid all the grain.

This time, not only did Qin Shuang and Qin Wen be half angry, but even Mrs. Li was a little annoyed.

In her opinion, the title deeds were all in their hands, and the fields were theirs, and it was only natural for the people to pay rent to them.

"What do the people in the villages say?"

"They said that we are thieves, those land deeds are all robbed, we can't do anything at all, we can ask for food, but we have to buy it with silver." Qin Wen gritted his teeth and said.

Qin Shuang was murderous: "Madam, I think these villagers just don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, so they just kill him in one village to see if they still pay the rent." ”

"There's no need to kill."

Mrs. Li waved her hand, thinking about how to make those people obediently pay the rent, when a young man came to report it, and a scholar at the foot of the mountain asked to see him, claiming to be surnamed Wang.

……

————

Inside the cottage hall.

Looking at the person who was brought in, it was Mr. Wang who had come to Zhao'an, Xiao Xinru was surprised and happy at the same time, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Wang, can I know the news of my son-in-law?" ”

"I didn't expect that King Xiaohua would leave you here and run away alone, Mrs. still cares about him like this, and King Xiaohua doesn't know which blessing he has cultivated in his life, and he has such a confidante as Mrs."

Seeing her so anxious, Wang Can couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. misunderstood, my son-in-law did not leave the concubine, but he couldn't bear the pain of the concubine and other female dependents, so we stayed here, but we also left enough soldiers and horses, even if the officials and soldiers came to encircle and suppress, we are not afraid."

Mrs. Li blushed, and hurriedly explained, afraid that he was here to test the details, and added.

"Madame doesn't have to suspect that I didn't come here to inquire about the situation in Guizhai, presumably Madame has also known what happened to my family."

Wang Can smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "As for your son-in-law's current situation, I really know a thing or two. ”

"Please also let me know, the concubine is grateful." Xiao Xinru said excitedly, and ordered someone to hurry up to serve tea.

"In mid-July, your son-in-law fought a big battle with the governor of Nahong on the edge of the Han River near Junzhou, and fled to Xichuan, but according to the facts I learned, the two sides were tied at that time, and even your son-in-law took some advantage, otherwise that Hong Chengchou would not have watched your son-in-law capture Xichuan, and did not dare to go to the rescue."

After Wang Can put down the teacup, he said slowly, when he talked about Hong Chengchou, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

"So, my son-in-law is now in Xichuan?"

Xiao Xinru's clenched fist was immediately released, and a big stone in her heart finally fell.

"Yes, although Hong Chengchou has 20,000 Qin troops and 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, he may not be able to help your son-in-law, so Mrs. doesn't have to worry about the safety of your son-in-law, but should worry about the safety of yourself and the people in this cottage."

"What do you mean, sir? Could it be that Yang Sichang is going to deal with us? Xiao Xinru saw that what he said was so scary, and couldn't help but get nervous again.

"That Yang Sichang is a dignified soldier and a soldier, holding the sword of Shang Fang, but he will not lose his value to fight your small cottage, and he has already gone south a few days ago to lead troops to chase down the Eight Kings and Cao Cao.

But when you leave, you will be exterminated as soon as possible in Xiangyang, and the commander of Xiangyang Wei is preparing in the past few days, and the army will be overwhelmed in a few days. ”

"Hmph, don't worry, madam, it's just some guards, let's kill one of them."

Qin Shuang, who was on the side, couldn't get used to Wang Can's literati virtue, and snorted coldly at him.

If it weren't for the lady's respect for this guy, let alone drinking tea, I would have to break one of his legs, and see if he could grind, let alone the situation of the leader and brothers.

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave."

Wang Can also knew that what this kid said was the truth, and when he entered the cottage, he could see those teenagers clearly.

There are also thousands of people in this small cottage, and they are well managed, and they are also emotional, and they really want to see the little Huawang and see what kind of character they are.

"Sir shouldn't be a local, right? If there is no good place to go, it is better to live in the cottage temporarily, and my son-in-law will come back after all. ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly said, she naturally wouldn't think that Wang Can had come here to report to them.

Instead, he obviously had the intention of taking refuge in his son, but he was worried, so he came to make a good fate.

"Madame's kindness, I got it in my heart."

Wang Can hesitated for a long time, and finally politely refused, but he didn't plan to go back to Fujian, but decided to live in Nanzhang County temporarily.

Xiao Xinru guessed correctly, Wang Can did have the idea of taking refuge in Qin Yu.

Originally, he wanted to take refuge under Yang Sichang and continue to show his ambitions.

But who ever wanted to meet without seeing him, he was kicked out, and at the same time disappointed, he even had a trace of jealousy in his heart.

However, Xiong Wencan's matter has not yet settled, so he has some worries in his heart.
