Another three days.

There were more corpses on the ground, and the walls of Jinling were still stubbornly towering, but a little more mottled.

Night fell, the day's shouts faded with the sun, and the land was quiet.

The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed the rare tranquility. But what neither side knows is that on this battlefield, there is a team of people, whether day or night, who never stops.

The diligence of the Chinese people is unparalleled in the world, and no nation is our opponent in terms of construction, and of course, it may not be in terms of destruction.

Thousands of years of history is construction and destruction, and then construction and destruction. In the process, we have built countless man-made miracles, and we have also destroyed countless people.

Under the miners' round-the-clock excavation, a huge tunnel nearly two meters wide and nearly two meters high went straight underground.

The ends of the tunnel were reinforced with wood, and trapped miners shuttled back and forth in it, shirtless and steaming hot on cold winter nights.

"Where?"

Zhu Wu stood on top of the tunnel and asked.

Xi Yingzhen pinched Zhou Zhi's head with a chatter, and calculated, "Almost!" ”

Not long after he finished speaking, a miner with a dirt-covered face ran out from under the tunnel.

"Dig into the wall, dig up!"

Zhu Wu was ecstatic in his heart, and waved his fist, "Old Dao, you remember the first merit!" ”

"Lao Dao is a monk, what's the use of asking for so much credit!" Xi Yingzhen smiled, "The manager should have a heart at the time, just remember these miners, Lao Dao promised them, after the deed is completed, give them land and livestock, no longer need to mine for generations!" ”

Miners are the poorest of the poor, and they can only live by their strength all their lives, and their life span is very short, because one day, the mine collapses, and the people are gone.

Zhu Wu naturally promised that as long as Jinling was laid, some fields could be divided.

"Now that you're digging, it's time to serve!" Xi Yingzhen smiled, "The manager will let people bring things in!" ”

On the day of the excavation of the tunnel, the most trusted pro-army of the Zhu Wu faction brought thousands of sacks containing gunpowder from Hezhou.

Not necessarily, Guo Xing took people and brought gunpowder in from the outside.

"This thing, is it okay?" Zhu Wu is still a little bottomless in his heart, no matter how powerful it is, it is black powder.

"Look at the new thing!" After speaking, Xi Yingzhen rolled his arms and jumped down.

"What are you doing down there?"

Xi Yingzhen raised his head from the tunnel and said with a smile, "This matter, the old man has to do it himself, these miners are almost meaningful!" ”

Zhu Wu squatted at the mouth of the tunnel and scolded with a smile, "If you can endure it, you can do anything!" ”

"Almost!" The voice of the old way is gradually drifting away.

～～～

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The heart-rending coughing sound in the room made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying waited anxiously outside the door.

was originally a newlywed Yan'er, but after only a few days, Guo Dashuai's body was not able to do it all at once, and he coughed in the middle of the night last night, and all he vomited was blood.

The ancients said that starting a family and starting a business, even if a man starts a family, it is the biggest career in his life, and Zhu Chongba's gestures are more stable.

Ma Xiuying's long hair was combed together and worn with a silver hairpin, and the former girl had become a woman. But unlike other women, she had no gold or silver jewelry on her body, except for the hairpin.

The clothes are all ordinary clothes that were used before, and there is no makeup on the face, which is extremely simple.

Chirping! The door opened, and the best doctor in Haozhou City came out of it.

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiuying asked anxiously.

The old doctor shook his head, his face was heavy, "Handsome, I have been sick for a long time~~~"

"You just say it, don't make up these nonsense!"

Zhu Chongba's speech has always been vigorous and resolute, and the old doctor only then remembered that this person was the lord of Haozhou, and his heart trembled.

"Guo Dashuai ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, and Da Luo Jinxian was difficult to save. For today's plan, I can only use ginseng to breathe, Mr. Zhu, prepare for the future! ”

"Ahh

It's hopeless!

In an instant, Ma Xiuying only felt that the sky was spinning, her feet were soft, and she was about to faint. A pair of powerful hands held her up.

Zhu Chongba supported his wife, and his heart also chuckled, and asked again, "How long is it?" ”

The old doctor hesitated and said slowly, "Seven days at most, three days at least." ”

At this moment, Zhang, who was waiting for Guo Zixing in the house, spoke, "Xiuying, Chongba, you come in, and I want to see you too!" ”

Zhang, Guo Zixing's wife. is only fifty years old, and now he is old and full of gray hair. No longer arrogant as before, her brother is dead, her son is dead, and now her only remaining relative, her husband, is also dying.

"Mother!"

As soon as she entered the door, Ma Xiuying hugged Zhang and cried silently.

Zhu Chongba strode to the window and said softly, "Father, we're here!" ”

On the bed, Guo Zixing's face was full of dead gray, so thin that only one skin remained.

The voice in his mouth, like a bellows, "Guorui~~~I~~I missed~~!" ”

"What did my father say, the doctor in Haozhou can't do it, let's invite famous doctors all over the world immediately, and you can recuperate with peace of mind!"

"My life~~ I have a number in my heart~~ I am now~~ I have a few words to say, I am afraid that if I don't say it now~~ I won't be able to say it in the future~~"

At this time, it was time to confess his last words, Zhu Chongba's heart was painful, and people could be ruthless if they were not grass and trees. Guo Dashuai was kind to him, and he was promoted by Guo Dashuai from a small soldier to today's general manager.

He may have lost others, but he has never been Zhu Chongba. and married his only adopted daughter to himself.

"Father, you say, let's listen!"

Guo Zixing's eyelids moved, and there seemed to be mood fluctuations in his cloudy eyes.

"Little ~~Five~~ Call Little Five to come~~~ I want to see Little Five!"

Zhu Chongba was stunned, Guo Zixing's last words turned out to be to see Xiao Wu.

However, you said that we should kill Xiao Wu to take revenge! Do you want us to come over and kill Xiao Wu? It's impossible for Xiao Wu to come, and he's not stupid!

"Call Xiao Wu ~~~ Come ~~ This time~~ If you don't kill him, you will die~~~ His words are also good~~I~ I have something to say to him~~"

Got something to say?

Suddenly, a trace of anger rose in Zhu Chongba's heart.

Say that it is you who kills him, and it is you who does not kill him. He killed your son, your brother-in-law, and made you stumble and angry, and you still want to see him!

Is there anything you can't say to us, and what we bring him differently?

You Guo Dashuai is dying, why do you still want to make such a moth!

But the anger was fleeting, and Zhu Chongba suppressed it vividly, "Okay, Marshal, let's go and send a letter to Xiao Wu, but if we can't come, we don't dare to say it!" ”

"As long as ~~ you send ~~ Xiao Wu will definitely come~~~ he is soft-hearted~~" Guo Zixing coughed violently, "Besides~~ you are kind to him~~!" ”

Zhu Chongba was shocked, is there grace? What does this mean?

Looking at Guo Zixing again, he had closed his eyes and was in a coma.

"Could it be that he already knew that it was the little five we saved?"

Zhu Chongba stood up, his mind was full of questions, Guo Zixing knew? Since he knows, why did he still promote us, why did he marry his daughter to us?

Ma Xiuying saw that her husband's face was not good, walked over slowly, and asked softly, "Dad, what did you say just now?" ”

"He said, I want to see Xiao Wu!" Zhu Chongba smiled bitterly, "We didn't expect that before he died, what he wanted to see was Xiao Wu." ”

Ma Xiuying raised her head and looked at Zhu Chongba, "Probably, my father can't remember revenge at this time!" He doesn't have a few days left, and everything that should be put down has to be put down. Heavy eight, ask someone to send a letter! ”

Zhu Chongba hesitated, and finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, "Sister, why do you say that your father has to see Xiao Wu?" ”

Ma Xiuying sighed, lowered her head and said, "In the past, my father really liked Xiao Wu, and he often said in private that it would be good if Xiao Wu was his own son!" ”
