A month after the assassination, Shi Miyuan finally knew that this time he had failed again, in order not to be known that these dirty things were done by him, he could only temporarily calm down, devote himself to completing the orders of the master of the Northern Yuan, and then wait for another chance.

Through religious charity, the Rihito side recruited many beggars and displaced people, and through secret transfers, these people were taken to the city under construction. These people came to the city that Chang was building, and when they looked at such a big project and looked at the many soldiers, they were all dumbfounded, and they all wanted to find the people of the Divine Cult who brought them with them with speculation and fear. But no matter how they looked for them, these clergy disappeared like evaporation from the world.

Some of them had the courage to immediately collude with all the beggars who could fight, and prepare to embark on a great escape. At that moment hundreds of soldiers came and brought them to the foot of a high platform, and instead of stopping them to use violence, these soldiers asked from time to time whether the emaciated beggar in the middle of them had had eaten enough. These bold beggars in the middle are now full of doubts, looking at why these soldiers who are stronger than themselves are so good to themselves and others.

In the midst of their anxiety and suspicion, four burly men in bright armor and swords finally came up from the high platform. One of them was holding something like an enlarged trumpet flower, and the man put his small head to his mouth and his big head to everyone in the audience. I heard a loud and stirring voice come from this trumpet-shaped thing, and this voice said, "Hello everyone! You have been fortunate all the way, and today, when you first arrived, many people may have sighed when they saw this huge city under construction, and were afraid that we had asked you to do coolies. Hehe~! Don't worry, we don't let everyone do coolies, we only have more work here, and no one will let you force you to do things you don't want to do. But ~" Speaking of this, the voice suddenly turned into a low voice: "However, there are no people in us who do not work hard, if you want to live a good life, you want to have your own home and land. Then you have to work hard and exchange your labor for the money and respect you receive. Okay, that's all I have to say, if you have any questions, you can ask the craftsmen who are working there. The voice gestured to the craftsmen who were building the castle over there.

Only then did these beggars raise their eyes to look at the craftsmen who they thought were being oppressed, and saw that the craftsmen not only had oppressed expressions, but were also very happy, and they were not saying something when they became dry, and whether bursts of laughter came to the ears of these beggars from afar.

A beggar beside those bold men opened his mouth and whispered, "Strange! They were still laughing as they worked, and instead of whipping them, the soldiers who were guarding them acted as if they hadn't heard. ”

"How do you know what we're seeing is true, and where have you been?" A beggar who lost his parents and was brought up by his grandmother said cautiously.

"I had been in the Silver Pit, and I had been sold there, and I would not have been able to escape if it hadn't been for a riot between the inside and the outside, and this place was really not a place for people. And I heard the older generation inside say that if you go to repair or build a city, it is only a little better than it is in the silver pit, but the whip will not be less. The beggar who had spoken at first spoke again.

The beggar, who had lost his parents, blinked, thought for a moment and said, "Didn't those people let us ask first if we had questions?" How about where we are going together and ask the craftsmen. ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to get shot if I get out of here. At that time, I was afraid when I remembered the coaxing of those officials and newcomers. The beggar who spoke at first shrank back, not daring to step forward at all.

The Taoist priest's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the beggar who lost his parents boldly walked to the craftsmen alone. Li Ren on the stage looked at these beggars who had become timid and afraid of things because of life, and just shook his head and said to Fang Ning, who was now in charge: "Mr. Fang, look at these beggars, what should we do after coming to us more and more, it is impossible to let them repair the city, right?" ”

"Huh! The lord is worried, but now these beggars can only let them join in the construction of the city of hope first, which can exercise their self-supporting minds. When there are more people in the future, we will send all the young ones to our own school to receive a little knowledge training. Fang Ning said after clasping his fists.

"Hmmm! That's the only way to do it, but is our food enough to consume here now? Rihito frowned and remembered the most important question of the moment.

Fang Ning carefully calculated and said, "Lord Qiqi, the food we have hoarded now is only enough for these people to eat for three months. ”

Li Ren lowered his head with his hands behind his back and thought about it, and said, "That is, we will fall into a land without food in three months." ”

Fang Ning nodded honestly, and Li Ren asked again: "How long will it take for the caravan that went to Zhancheng and other places to buy grain to come back?" ”

Fang Ning said at this time: "The caravan has been departing for less than fifteen days this time, and it is possible that the nearest Cham city has arrived. But it's still unknown whether you can buy food or not! Fang Ning's sigh caused Li Ren to be even more worried, and at this time, there was a report outside the door that there was a subordinate who claimed to be Li Ren, surnamed Tang, who had something urgent to see.

"The surname Tang?" Liren, you are looking for this person in your memory, and it took a long time before your eyes suddenly lit up and remembered, isn't there a Mr. Tang who claims to be able to bring him five million taels a year. Thinking of this, Rihito hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Hurry up, please." After a pause, Liren hurriedly stopped the soldier and said, "Forget it, I'll greet it myself." After saying that, Li Ren ignored the surprise of everyone behind him, and strode towards the blocked intersection.

From afar, I saw a Confucian man dressed in tattered clothes and covered in mud standing at the intersection of the blockade, walking back and forth anxiously. At this time, Liren chuckled in his heart, thinking that he had lost money for his business?

When he came to the blockade intersection, he only heard the tattered Mr. Tang in front of him hurriedly said, "My lord, you are finally here!" When my subordinates were overseas, they thought they wouldn't see you anymore. ”

Li Ren immediately pretended to be very surprised and asked, "Why is Mr. Tang dressed like this at this time?" ”

"My lord! You can call the shots for the little ones! Mr. Tang knelt directly on the ground, and before he knelt on the ground, Liren grabbed his shoulders and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the gentleman make such a big gift, if any gentleman said, I can do it. ”

Tang Wentao hurriedly stood up and said to Liren: "Lord, don't you know, I have completed half of the lord's entrustment so far, and this time I came back to bring back the grain, grass and money that the lord urgently needs, but who knew that when I arrived at the dock, it was intercepted by Piyang of Haimen Village, and my subordinates couldn't fight for it, only to watch more than ten boats full of grain being robbed, and my main ship, which contained five million taels of silver for the lord." ”

"Ahh How dare Pi Yang be so bold, didn't you say that it was my subordinate? Liren angrily questioned Mr. Tang.

Tang Wentao hurriedly said: "My subordinates have already said that I am the lord's subordinate, and I also showed the lord's token, but Na Piyang said that the subordinates were joined by the lord's subordinates when he rebelled, and he was not amnesty by the imperial court, so he said that these things were stolen goods and should be confiscated." So it's hard to distinguish between subordinates~! ”

When Li Ren heard what Pi Yang had robbed now, he suddenly jumped up in anger, and hurriedly ordered: "Zhang Hu! You immediately lead 5,000 soldiers who I will take a boat to Piyang and cut down this bastard! ~！ ”

"No! Subordinates obey orders~! Zhang Hu was also angry when he heard this news, and hurriedly turned around and gathered the soldiers.

Haimen Zhai Neipiyang is very happy now, looking at the few boxes of gold in the tent, thinking about the grain that has not yet been unloaded on the sea boat, and humming a little song. At this time, his cronies next to him said: "The general is not the time for us to be happy, if the Chaozhou Hou knows that the goods are lost, we are afraid~!" ”

"I'm afraid of his eggs~!" A cronie who survived the catastrophe last time scolded loudly: "If he wants to be windy and rainy in Chaozhou, he will have a few boats of silver if he wants silver." He has not come to visit our Pi Ye when he arrives on the ground in Chaozhou, and today these things are considered to be his filial piety. Our navy is in hand, what are we afraid of him. ”

A cronie with a thin voice advocated on the side: "It's our Pi Ye, but Shi Xiangye is about to be promoted." At that time, it will be the general of the capital, and the little Chaozhou will be too late to ask for these things. ”

The soldier who had just been promoted to a cronie had obviously made an analysis of Liren, and immediately objected: "General, it's better not to underestimate the enemy, think about what Chaozhou Hou was born for, this time the amount of goods is obviously huge, if he is forced to hurry, his subordinates think that he will definitely not give up." ”

"Haha! Boy, you are still too timid, if it weren't for your good brain, I would definitely let you work in the position of a small soldier until death, just this little Chaozhou waiting for him to dare to fight with my distant uncle Shi Xiangye? If he wants to die, he doesn't dare to wait in Chaozhou, that is, he came to our author's sea ship to go to Guangzhou, seeking the protection of my uncle in Guangzhou, the commander of the Guangzhou navy, I see how he dares to take me! "Pi Yang is a scoundrel at all, seeing this lot of gold and grain, he dares to kill the emperor now.

Pi Yang, who had been crazy in Haimen Village for a day, fell asleep with two Qinglou girls in his arms, "Tom~~Boom~~!" One after another, like a thunderbolt, with the vibration of the ground, Da Piyang woke up. He hurriedly turned over and listened carefully, and a small soldier outside the account shouted and reported to the inside of the tent: "The general is not good, there is something thundering on us, and the brothers have suffered a lot of casualties." ”

"Thunder? What thunder? Pi Yang asked puzzled.

The soldier hurriedly said, "General, listen." ”

"Tom~~Boom~~!"

"What's ringing?" Pi Yang heard it, but it was still far away.

"There is something on the surface of the sea of the general, which is firing fire thunder at us over and over again, yes, it is fire thunder~! Every time I saw a spark on the sea, our brothers flew for half a day in a while. "The soldier is now in a panic and just wants to flee to the village.

Pi Yang hadn't seen the fire and thunder that the soldiers said, so he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked outside the tent. When I arrived outside the account, I suddenly saw that the soldiers in my barracks had exploded, panicked, and the explosion was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Pi Yang saw a loud rumbling sound not far away, and then saw that the soldiers and the soil on the ground flew into the air. Suddenly, his mouth could no longer be closed, and he cut three explosions with his own eyes in half a day, and then he loudly ordered the soldiers: "Quick! Gather the soldiers and go to the sea to see what it is. ”

"General! Now to the surface of the sea? The soldier felt he had misheard.

"it~!" When Pi Yang saw the soldier hesitating, he immediately scolded loudly. But what he thought in his heart was that there were still more than ten boats of grain on the sea, and he didn't load them on the shore.

For a while, Pi Yang had been walking back and forth carefully, and the soldier ran back in a panic and cried loudly to Pi Yang with black smoke on his face: "General, we can't get on the ship at all now, as soon as the brothers arrive on the ship, the ship will be sunk by the monsters on the sea, and many brothers have died." Whining! ~”

At this time, Pi Yang calmed down, thinking of what he had done during the day, and thinking of the entrustment of the spy sent by Shi Miyuan, he suddenly realized and said to himself: "Could this be Chaozhou Hou, is it really him?" ”

He said that regardless of the reaction of the soldiers, he hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Gather the soldiers, prepare the chariots and horses, and load this gold for me to rush to the county seat. As long as you arrive at the county seat, each person will have a gold ingot. ”

"Yes!" The soldier was woken up by Pi Yang after being scolded by the queen, and his eyes lit up even more when he heard the gold.

Finally, boxes of gold were loaded into the carriage under the desperate efforts of the soldiers, and Pi Yang felt a little relieved when he rode on the horse. After leaving the north gate and staying away from the threat of fire and thunder, Pi Yang finally took a big breath. At this time, he turned to look at his barracks, which had now become a sea of fire, and from time to time there were bursts of soldiers' screams.

Finally, the miserable situation of the barracks was gone, and the journey was still going well, and the soldiers who escaped were glad about what had happened to them, and they were even more overjoyed at the thought of the gold they were about to get. Pi Yang felt a creepy at this time, and then looked at the darkness around him without a trace of firelight, and immediately ordered: "Cheer me up, it's halfway here, it's not interesting to be crowded, and when you get to the county seat, you can go crazy." ”

The soldiers finally settled down in Pi Yang's shout, looked around again, and heard the toad on the side of the road, and one by one the soldiers immediately turned into shrinking turtles. They clutched their weapons tightly, and from time to time they felt something behind them, and when they turned around, they saw that it was their brother.

"桀桀~~! You're here too~! ”

"桀桀~~! I'm going to catch you~! ”
