"Mayor Zhu, Mr. Li, get up! Our bandit army is not happy to bow down. After Qin Liqi and Li Yilu saw this scene, they glanced at each other and said.

For Zhang Rui, the two of them were indescribably grateful. If it weren't for his arrival, how would he be different from the villagers kneeling on the ground at this time?

"Yes, yes." After hearing this, Zhu Yuanyu and the others rose up in a daze.

"Mayor Zhu, Mr. Li. It's getting late today, so let's go back. Our army is just passing by, and they have set up camp at the entrance of the town, so they will not come in and disturb everyone. Qin Liqi said.

When Zhu Yuanyu heard Qin Liqi say this, the stone in his heart was also put down. But he shouted: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Subsequently, Zhu Yuanyu and Li Yuyu ordered the people who came to go back.

"Lord Qin Battalion, Elder Li and Elder Fang Company. We have set up a banquet in the restaurant in the town, and we have asked the officials to move to the restaurant so that I can wait for the friendship of the landlord. Zhu Yuanyu said respectfully. After all, after so many years of being done by the mayor of the town, wouldn't it be in vain if he didn't understand this thing?

"yes... yes..."

Many core figures in Zhujia Town who stayed behind also echoed one after another.

"Mayor Zhu, thank you for your kindness. However, our army has a rule that it cannot do anything that disturbs the people. All the banquets will be free, and when our army is rested, they will leave, and you will not need to pay attention to us. Qin Liqi explained.

"How can this be considered a nuisance? Isn't this a civilian-military relationship! That's right! Zhu Yuanyu asked as he looked at the crowd not far away.

"Exactly..."

"What the mayor said is reasonable, and please don't shirk it..."

Look at the crowd and say so. Qin Liqi could only muttered to Li Yilu again.

It is true that the bandit army is not allowed to disturb the people, but it is still permissible for local people to invite officials to have a meal. However, food can be eaten, but money cannot be taken, otherwise the crime of corruption will not be forgiven.

"Mayor Zhu, let's do it! Our military order stipulates that one of the two battalion commanders must remain in the army in case of an emergency. We'll have to go back and discuss it later, you go back first, as for the specific situation! Shall I let you know later? Qin Liqi said.

"It's... Be... Yes, this is natural. Then I'll go back first, and wait for the adults to come at the Tianxiangju Restaurant in the town. Zhu Yuanyu knelt down again and said.

The crowd departed.

After consulting Zhang Rui, it was decided that Qin Liqi would go to the banquet to protect him.

Zhang Rui's task to Qin Liqi was to propagate the concept of suppressing the bandit army, proposing to buy military rations for the army and discuss conscription at the same time.

When Zhang Rui set everything, the time had already entered the second quarter of the war.

The moon is bright and starry.

Although the sky is dark, under the moonlight, you can see the road clearly.

At this moment, Zhang Rui was empty, and went to Zhu Wanying's house in a happy mood.

Although Zhang Rui was on the march at this time, he had a lot of official duties to deal with every day. In addition to solving problems, these official documents are more important in the connection with the entire anti-bandit army. Otherwise, if he disappears for a few days, the bandit army will not be able to make a mess.

For his own safety, Zhang Rui sees it very important. When reading the book "Tao Te Ching", Zhang Rui was deeply impressed by one sentence:

Therefore, if you think that you are the world, you can send it to the world. He who loves to be the world can be entrusted to the world.

If a person doesn't even cherish himself, then the world will be over entrusting him.

It is precisely like this, even if Zhang Rui came to Zhu Mansion at this time, he was still accompanied by several strong martial arts guards. Among them are Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Meiyu and Hu Huigan.

"Big brother, the sixth brother is in a very good mood!" Fang Xiaoyu looked at the happy Zhang Rui and couldn't help but whisper to Fang Meiyu.

"Silly boy, do you have a favorite girl?" Fang Meiyu replied.

"Hmm... This..."Fang Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, and chirped.

"Haha... Meiyu, don't ask, this kid must have it. Okay, you all don't talk, it's duty time, and you have to be court-martialed when you speak. Hu Huigan, the team leader, said.

"Yes, Brother Hu..."Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly replied. Although with his martial arts, he didn't have anything to do with those whips, but his face was always uncomfortable.

"Then does Brother Hu have a favorite girl?" A voice came, but it was Zhang Rui who was smiling and looking at Hu Huigan and asked.

"This, of course, is there. It's just that the Tartars are not destroyed, so how can they be home? I don't want to delay other girls. Hu Huigan thought about it, and replied without feeling embarrassed.

"I used to think the same way with you. However, the destruction of the Tartars is not a matter of one or two days, and it is necessary to marry a wife and have children. If I think so, where will there be descendants to fight with others in the future? As he spoke, Zhang Rui raised his head and looked at the stars on his head.

"Remember, our goal is the sea of stars, the real whole world." Zhang Rui seemed to be saying this to Hu Huigan and others, and he seemed to be saying it to himself.

Although Hu Huigan and others didn't particularly understand Zhang Rui's later words, they felt very enthusiastic when they listened to it, and they felt that they were not following the wrong person.

"Take me back to Wuchang, and the three of you will have two months off. When I went back, I married the girl I liked, and I didn't have to regret it for the rest of my life. As for those who delay or not, this is fate, and you can't just think about bad things. Zhang Rui turned his head and looked at the three people in front of him and said.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Looking at Zhang Rui's expression, the three of them subconsciously answered.

Zhufu is located in the east of Zhujia Town, a large courtyard with five entrances and five exits, a pair of stone lions in front of the door, and the word Zhufu is hung on the gate.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had a strict hierarchy of powerful and commoners, and once it was transgressed, it would inevitably bring about the disaster of raiding the entire family. Therefore, although the decoration in front of the Zhu family is gorgeous, it is a rule, and I dare not have a trace of overstepping.

Rao is like this, judging from the decoration in front of the gate of Zhu's house, Zhu Wanying's family can be regarded as one of the largest families in Zhujia Town.

At this time, the Zhu Mansion opened the door uncharacteristically, and an old man at the door sat on the steps with a small servant. The two of them kept looking out, as if waiting for some distinguished guest.

Zhang Rui and the others came slowly all the way, looking at the huge courtyard houses around them, and then remembering the houses they had lived in before. Zhang Rui couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for my current achievements, it would be poverty that limits my imagination." ”

"How many sons, may I ask you are Zhang Rui Gongzi and others?" Seeing a few people coming over, the old man sitting on the steps quickly stood up and asked.
