It was late at night, and there were many people standing outside the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Xianxuan, Wu Mengming, Zhu Huihong and other princes of Shen Wangfu.

With a creak, the courtyard door opened, Chang Yu walked out, and everyone surrounded him.

"Factory Supervisor......" Zhu Huihong's expression was solemn and his tone was urgent.

Chang Yu glanced at him and raised his hand to signal him to enter, Zhu Huihong hurriedly saluted and walked into the courtyard with a few brothers.

"How's that, sir?"

When Wu Mengming saw the Zhu family brothers enter, he asked anxiously.

"Go back and say," Chang Yu glanced at Zhu Xianxuan beside him and said with a smile.

"Hey, look at the factory father's face like a spring breeze, what should be a good thing, and also said Let this king be happy" Zhu Xianxuan was very curious.

"Dongchang is confidential, outsiders have no right to know" Chang Yu pouted.

Really? Zhu Xianxuan rolled his eyes: "It's not early, this king won't stay in the factory, come to see off guests" After speaking, he snorted coldly, and left with his hands behind his back.

I'll rub it, this guy, turn his face fast enough, and start picking people up directly.

Chang Yu smiled and left quickly with Wu Mengming.

On the Great South Gate, the cold wind was howling, and the two teams of patrolmen shrank their heads and crossed each other.

In the camp of the thieves in the south of the city, the lights flickered on and off, and it was silent.

In the city tower, the fire is booming, Zhou Yuji and several other generals are resting in the side room on the first floor, Wu Mengming on the second floor rubbed his hands, his eyes lit up and looked at Chang Yu who was standing at the window with his back to him, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, it's done?" ”

"It's done!"

Chang Yu turned around, smiled and nodded.

"500,000 really give? He, he doesn't have a bargain? Wu Mengming's fists clenched excitedly, a little incredulous.

"There are few people who can bargain from our family, but he fled in a hurry, and he didn't have much silver, and the rest was willing to offset it with the equivalent value of treasures," Chang Yu said.

"Hey, jewelry and jade, these things are too imaginary, but they are not realistic," Wu Mengming said with a smile.

Chang Yu narrowed his eyes: "Has our family ever suffered a loss?" ”

"That's, that's, my lord has always been shrewd, and my humble position is admired!" Wu Mengming slapped his ass with a shy face, and then said in a low voice: "My lord, how many humble functions are there this time?" ”

"Lord Wu, what you did this time is not good at all, and your ass is very dirty." Chang Yu sneered.

Wu Mengming was stunned, then bowed down and said: "My lord, once born and twice matured, I will be careful in the future."

Hehe, Chang Yu sneered: "This is the second time, last time I asked you to rob, it became a robbery, and this time it directly became a robbery, Lord Wu, you always let our family wipe your ass, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate."

"Your Excellency!"

Wu Mengming was shocked and knelt down directly: "Give the lowly post another chance, and the lowly post is willing to go to the soup with the adults in the future, before and after the saddle, there is no second heart."

Hey, Chang Yu sighed, walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside: "People die for money, it's just that the handle of our brothers was held by the emperor."

Wu Mengming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The sky dawns, the sun rises in the east, and the colorful clouds are dazzling.

On the shore of Xihaizi Lake, Jia Waixiong led 300 Jinwuwei soldiers to exercise, and the slogans were shouted loudly.

A mile away from them, another team of people was also crawling, this was the Gongzi battalion training.

In addition to Wu Mengming of Jinyiwei, Tang Poshan of the Fu Military Guard, Cheng Ming of Teng Xiangwei, Li Tiezhu, Hu Ling, and Fan Jiaqian, the three of the four King Kongs of the Eunuch Army, were all present, and they were ordered to carry out intensive training.

The one who gave the order was riding a horse by the lake at this time, with a black horse in his crotch, his hooves flying, the wind whirling and lightning, and the wind whistling in his ears made Chang Yu feel more powerful than driving an open-top supercar in later generations.

Early in the morning, Chang Yu sent an order to go out, and he was not allowed to disturb non-military affairs, and he practiced by the lake with peace of mind.

The thief army was also very generous, still as calm as yesterday, and there was no change until midnight.

At this time, Chang Yu next to Xihaizi was already sweating like rain, he was endowed with extraordinary talents, and even if he lost his strength, he could recover in a very short time, so he rode and shot with bows and horses, fought with fists and feet, or fought alone or in groups, and almost never stopped.

There is a saying that diligence can make up for clumsiness, not to mention that he is not clumsy, he just wants to improve himself as quickly as possible.

What's more important is that he has countless sparring partners around him, practicing riding and archery with the guidance of a group of archery masters such as Guan Ren, Ma Zhan has fierce people like Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong as opponents, fists and feet are heads-up, and whoever under his command is not satisfied will come to fight, and he will accept the fight alone.

After a morning, he was drenched, but his nose and face were swollen, and there were a lot of colors on his body, but he had an extraordinary self-healing function, and this small bruise returned to normal in a short time, which surprised his subordinates.

Until he returned to the tower of the Great South Gate to rest in the evening, Zhou Yuji proposed to conduct a large-scale military training outside the city, to put it bluntly, it was a military exercise, and it was done for the thief army.

Chang Yu responded, but said that he and the palace people did not participate, and the military exercise was handed over to Zhou Yuji.

Early the next morning, the drums in the city were beating loudly, alarming many people in the city, and many people went out of their homes to inquire about the news in the streets.

I also saw that the two gates of the southern city were wide open, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed out of the barracks......

Hit again?

"I heard that it was a military training," a notice was posted on the side of the drum tower, and there was a well-informed and humane message.

The crowd rushed in the direction of the drum tower.

The military exercise outside Taiyuan City, naturally invited to watch the guests, such as the Jin Palace, such as the Shen Palace, which came to visit relatives, it is said that the old Shen King was also trembling and was helped to the city, of course, there are also those squires who donate money and food.

There is only one person missing, the Admiral of the East Factory.

Although the slogan outside the city shook the sky, it still did not affect Chang Yu, who was practicing archery fiercely on the bank of Xihaizi.

At this time, a fast horse was tied to a straw man, galloping along the lakeside, Chang Yu was chasing the bow and shooting arrows more than 20 meters behind, he was practicing shooting moving targets.

Zhou Yuji suddenly wanted to conduct a military exercise, since he first proposed it last night, Chang Yu knew his intentions, intending to scare off the thief army!

Chang Yu knew that deep down in his heart, Zhou Yuji was actually expecting the thief army to retreat automatically, and for some inconvenient reasons, he didn't want the thief army to continue to die.

Although he was driven by Chang Yu in the early morning of that day, he said that he would build military merits together, but he was actually excited for a while.

Since the bodies of Li You and Bai Minghe, who hung outside the moat last night, were taken away by the thieves' spies, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji have been waiting for the thieves to give a reaction.

However, all day yesterday, everything was as usual in the thief camp, and Chang Yu knew that Li Zicheng was still entangled, and he had not yet made a decision to advance or retreat.

And the purpose of Zhou Yuji's military exercise at this time is to take advantage of this moment to cool down Li Zicheng and let him see the real strength in Taiyuan City, are you really ready to attack the city?

But Chang Yu knew that Zhou Yuji's action might have been done in vain, and Li Zicheng's determination to attack or not was by no means something that could be decided by this military exercise, on the contrary, it might even backfire, which angered Li Zicheng, who was originally undecided, to make up his mind to attack Taiyuan City.

If you don't see through it, if Zhou Yuji wants a military exercise, let him do it, and it is good to gather the army's heart before the war, and at the same time, it can create some pressure on the thief army.

Sure enough, such a large military exercise outside the city naturally alarmed the thief army.

Not long after the exercise began, the door of the thief army camp was opened, and thousands of men and horses poured out, watching from a distance three miles away from the moat......

Until noon, a huge military exercise ended after a close gong sound.

No one knows how this military exercise felt to the thief army, but it was undoubtedly a reassuring shot for the gentry in the city who were invited to the city to watch.

I didn't think that the officers and soldiers who were originally ruffians and hooligans had changed their appearance in a short period of time, with strict military discipline, neat arrays, high morale, and full of fighting spirit.

Even Zhu Xiaoyong, who was coaxed and scared away by Chang Yu, gradually calmed down his grievances, and heard that Taiyuan was besieged by the thief army and was worried that he had just come out of the tiger's mouth and was like a wolf's den.

After a morning's crawling, Chang Yu was sweating and covered in mud, and this product actually went directly to the lake to dig ice and get water to wash himself.

You must know that it was just March at this time, the sky was still cold, and the biting lake water poured directly on his body made Chang Yu can't help but feel excited, but it was extremely exciting.

Although this body is not strong enough, its physique is far better than in its previous life, and Chang Yu slowly discovered that this body has so many shining points.

At the end of the exercise, the officers and men entered the city and closed their doors, leaving only a few thousand regular patrols outside the city.

The gentry in the city also dispersed, and they were really foaming at the street and talking to the curious people about what they had seen and heard.

Zhu Xianxuan accompanied King Shen and more than ten sons to return to the palace to set up a banquet.

"Factory, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Fang San saw Chang Yu returning from a bath and was sorting out his clothes next to the grove: "Is it going back to the city to eat, or is it a small one to be sent to you."

Chang Yu glanced up at the city, and glanced around: "I'm a little hungry today, go down to the restaurant."
