"The Pu family's loss this time is more than that...... Kong He's character is very hateful to the Pu family, a wealthy and unkind businessman, and the Pu family takes the initiative to commit it, and he hates the Pu family even more. said coldly at the moment: "The teeth that have been nurtured for many years will collapse, and the money invested before will be wasted." These armors, weapons, cost a lot. Hiring rogue rangers and swordsmen will cost at least 100,000 guan or more, which is equivalent to a loss of hundreds of thousands of guan......"

Li Yi looked at Xu Zixian and said, "The prince should be careful, the pacification envoy, the control envoy, the Pu family, and His Royal Highness King Zhao, which side is powerful." ”

"They're likely to be hoping for a move from one side to the other." Xu Zixian said: "It is impossible for King Zhao and Lin Douyao to cooperate, the Pu family and the pacification envoy, and the Zhao Wangfu also have their own conflicts of interest, but I will be careful and will act when the opportunity arises." ”

Everyone is a little worried, if Xu Zixian has already attacked the lord and stayed in Nan'an, then he can develop the strength at hand with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about the people who are afraid of Fucheng, but now Xu Zi is going to Jingshi after the first year, Jingshi is a tiger's den in Longtan, who knows how the forces here will exert their strength in Jingshi?

But now he can't figure out the details of the enemy at all, and for Xu Zixian, he can only see walking.

Of course, it is also necessary to plan ahead and make some preparations in advance.

As for offending King Zhao and Lin Douyao, of course Xu Zixian has nothing to regret, if he is attached to King Qi, he will inevitably offend King Zhao, and if he wants to develop in Nan'an, he will inevitably offend the Pu family.

Although Xu Zixian is not fierce, he does not have any fear of the future.

……

In the evening, the corpses of the bandits were dug outside the town in several large deep pits and buried, of course, in the wasteland of the river beach, where no one usually visits. After making such an arrangement, it is estimated that no one will dare to walk on the river beach in the future.

The traces of the war were basically removed, the rags were all picked up by the poor people, and the weapons and armor were counted and put into the arsenal.

The wounded soldiers were still being treated, and people passing by could hear the dying moans of many seriously injured soldiers.

Because of the treatment of the wounded, the merchants and people in the town were also very grateful for the efforts of the soldiers, and in the evening, many people spontaneously sent wine and meat.

Xu Zixian ordered the training to be suspended, and the camp was temporarily closed to alcohol, but the soldiers were generally in a depressed mood.

More than 100 soldiers were killed and seriously wounded in battle, and there were only 1,600 men in the battalion, almost everyone lost their friends, acquaintances, and even relatives and friends.

Although there was wine and meat in the camp, under the attack of exhaustion and sadness, many soldiers rested early after eating and drinking, and only the personnel on duty took turns to take up their posts according to the time, guarding those prisoners and guarding the arsenal, signing houses and other important places.

Xu Zixian went to the town in the evening and personally thanked the major trading houses and the townspeople, and now his reputation has reached its peak in Nan'an, and many people spontaneously greeted him, and their words were full of gratitude.

Except for a few traces left by the war, the whole of Nan'an was not damaged in the slightest, and even the merchants and people of Shuikou and Gukou also rushed to come, and with Xu Zixian's efforts, these places were not harassed in any way.

These towns are all located in key areas, and commerce is prosperous and developed, and the commercial houses of Shuikou and Gukou towns also collected 5,000 yuan to send over, and some live sheep, live pigs, and live chickens, including dozens of stone of grain, were also sent to the labor army.

Due to the activities of the Qishan pirates and the five pirates at sea, Fujian's commerce and the daily life of the people have been seriously harassed in the past 20 years, and more than 100,000 people in several towns in Nan'an can finally sleep peacefully after the Nan'an group training.

Seeing the grateful eyes of many businessmen and people and the faces of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Xu Zixian's heart was also filled with a strange emotion.

Sometimes people will be moved by a specific situation, such as seeing an elderly couple with gray hair, the innocent smiling faces of teenagers, and the looking back and smiling of a beautiful girl.

And the more sublime things cannot be moved by words or images, only when you are immersed in the scene, in it and become the object of admiration and gratitude of everyone, a special emotion will arise spontaneously and linger.

This sense of pride comes from the warriors' protective feelings, which is worthy of the openness of the heart, and it is also a sublimation of personal feelings. The people in front of him, Xu Zixian knew each other, most of them were strangers who didn't know each other at all, but when they saluted Xu Zixian one by one, this feeling was sublimated and changed, in this time and space, in addition to his own relatives, Xu Zixian had more reasons to work hard.

He will not sacrifice himself to protect others, Xu Zixian has no way to become a saint, but if he has the ability, he can see the old man, woman, child, and man in charge of the house in front of him show sincere respect for himself, and when he looks at the smiling faces, Xu Zixian does not mind using the barrier knife in his hand to continue to guard everything in front of him.

……

When Xu Zixian returned to the inner house, it was already dark, and his highly tense spirit for several days finally relaxed, and the exhaustion of his body came up like a tide.

The house in the courtyard is not large, but it is extremely quiet, and there are faint sounds of human voices and dogs barking around, presumably caused by the busy people in the town beginning to return to the nearby official village one after another.

But these movements will also subside quickly, and as Xu Zixian's footsteps move, a sense of tranquility and tranquility envelops Xu Zixian's surroundings.

He sighed comfortably, feeling that this moment was the best reward for this day and night of fighting.

Before the battle, Xu Zi ordered Jin Jian to lead a team of generals to stay in the other courtyard, and once the battle situation was unfavorable, he immediately escorted the tabloid and Xiuniang to leave.

There is indeed some gold hidden in the inner house of the other courtyard, which is worth about 10,000 yuan, if Xu Zi is defeated first, he will lose everything, so he himself does not want to live secretly, if Xiaomei and Xiuniang have too much wealth, it is difficult to say whether they will be targeted.

Even Jin Jian and others, although they are grateful for the pictorial, but if there is no restraint, the human heart is the most unreliable thing.

10,000 yuan is enough for Xiaomei and Xiuniang to settle down, of course, they have to rely on the protection of King Qi, Xu Zi first ordered Jin Jian to send Xiaomei and Xiuniang to King Qi's mansion overnight.

When the dust settles, King Qi should make proper arrangements for Xiaomei and Xiuniang.

Fortunately, things have not developed to such a point, no matter how proud and satisfied Xu Zixian can be to protect the town, what can really make him happy is, of course, this small courtyard house.

Xiaomei and Xiuniang were both in the main room of the North Hall, and when they saw Xu Zi, Xiaomei's face was unusually excited, and a delicate melon seed face was flushed.

As for Xiu Niang, she also had a smile on her face, with Xu Zixian's current level, she could still see that Xiu Niang's smile was a little reluctant.

The east and west compartments of the north hall have been renovated, and the dilapidated atmosphere has been completely covered, and the north hall is the main hall of the annex, which has been carefully renovated.

The newly built tables and chairs are placed with some gadgets made by Fu Qian, and on the walls are calligraphy and paintings contributed by Chen Daojian and Chen Zuocai.

Chen Zhengzhi is holding his hands behind his back, admiring a pair of large characters and a painting of Wu Shizhong, which is also the most valuable thing in the North Hall.

"Brother Chen likes it?" Xu Zi only had time to take off his bloodstained military robe at this time, changed into a moon-white home robe, and said to Chen Zhengzhi with a relaxed expression: "If you like it, you can ask Dr. Wu to give you one." ”

"I thought you were going to say give me this." Chen Zhengzhi smiled: "You are too stingy. ”

"This is what I asked for, and I also mobilized a few little tricks in Dr. Wu's family to hug Dr. Wu's thighs together, so I begged for it." Xu Zi sat down to drink tea first, and said with a smile: "This favor is not easy to come, you want to, find a way to go by yourself." ”

Originally, the two of them were still a little formal, but after last night's night of running, day and night, this is a relationship of life, and both of them are young men in their twenties, and after experiencing the battlefield together, they have spoken a lot more casually.

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself." Chen Zhengzhi smiled: "But don't regret it, when the time comes, you have to obediently give the painting to more, it's not a favor." ”

"Huh?" Xu Zi was suspicious for a while, and then thought about the little sister's face, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Uncle Chen called you?"

"Of course." Chen Zhengzhi said with a smile: "After last night, it is impossible for those uncles and uncles in our family to say anything strange, I think, you can prepare for the Nacai ceremony before the year." ”

"Haha, if that's the case, that's great." Of course, Xu Zixian was very happy, but he had to stretch himself in front of his little sister, especially to prevent him from hurting Xiuniang.

A man who has multiple wives can't afford to hurt him!

"Before you enter Beijing." Chen Zhengzhi said: "It's best to finish Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Najib, and ask for a deadline within a month." When you come back from Beijing, you can set a date to get married. ”

Chen Zhengzhi said with emotion: "My little sister is not small, it is eighteen years old for the New Year, how many powerful families are waiting, I didn't expect it to finally be the flower in Nan'anhou Mansion, Mingda, you have to treat her well." She likes to read books and articles, and she looks cold and arrogant, but in fact, she is smart and wise, and she will be a good hand in charge of the house. ”

Chen Zhengzhi looked at the little sister with bright eyes, and her expression was slightly unnatural, and continued: "My little sister has a kind personality and is also generous, and Mingda can rest assured ......"

Xu Zi smiled first, how could he not know?

Chen Wenjun is like a hollow valley orchid, there is always a quiet atmosphere on his body, only by his close to the people, will he expose his naughty side, but no matter what, when the hostess of the Hou Mansion is quite qualified, family background, personality, ability, knowledge and insights, can make Xu Zixian satisfied.

Xiuniang is a small family jasper, Xu Zixian can cherish her, and does not mind because of her experience, but no matter what, in the era of Dawei, the defense of men and women is not serious, and the hostess of the Hou Mansion needs a down-and-out and generous, and everyone in the town's living scene is beautiful, and Chen Wenjun is the most suitable person.

Moreover, there is also the past life of the past life that I once met in Qizhou and then secretly fell in love, this feeling, Xu Zi couldn't give it up first, and he didn't want to give it up.

Men, like women, actually have deep and sincere emotions, but many times they are not good at expressing them.
