Hearing Lu Li's words, Ling Hongjiu, who was standing on the city wall, had a little more puzzled emotion on his face, only to see him frown, his eyes turned and turned on Lu Li and An Xiabai, as if he couldn't understand what their intentions were, let alone what Ling Cheng's fate would be after today.

He gritted his teeth, thinking that it was not a dead word at most, his life was worthless, and the lives of the people of Lingcheng really mattered!

No matter what Lu Li wants to do in front of him, he is willing to cooperate, as long as he can let the people of Lingcheng continue to live and work in peace and contentment in the city!

After deciding, Ling Hongjiu nodded to Lu Li.

"I'm willing to talk to General Lu privately."

So Lu Li entered Lingcheng like this, even the soldiers he brought over, those soldiers, on the surface, do not look like the regular army, but the observance of discipline is far stronger than the regular army, I saw that they followed Lu Li into the city in a regular manner, not only did they not touch any people's property along the way, but they even looked at the people less often, so the military appearance, Ling Hongjiu worshipped in his heart.

The little soldiers have such a demeanor, not to mention the coach of the soldiers, Lu Li will definitely not be the kind of mediocre person who relies on luck to become the coach.

Ling Hongjiu thought about it as he invited Lu Li to his home.

What the two of them talked about in the room that night, no one knows, people only know that Ling Hongjiu and Lu Li talked about the situation in the world for two whole days, and when they came out on the third day, Ling Hongjiu inexplicably bowed his hand to Lu Li in front of everyone, and said to everyone: "General Lu's vision is admirable, and from now on, I, Ling Hongjiu, will be obedient to General Lu." ”

Because Ling Hong was a few months younger than Lu Li, he also called Lu Li big brother in front of many people.

The matter of Ling Hongjiu and Lu Li soon spread all over Lingcheng, almost everyone was surprised by the development of this matter, these days, the extent of the change in the situation is too great, I heard that Lu Li led the troops to attack Lingcheng, the people of Lingcheng rushed to tell each other, almost everyone felt that they could not avoid it, so they gathered the army to prepare to break the net with the rebels, and as a result, on the day when the army came to the city, Ling Hongjiu actually raised the white flag, and soon after, he and the rebel leader Lu Li formed a brother with a different surname, this kind of plot, I'm afraid I don't even dare to write this story, right?

With the change in the relationship between Ling Hongjiu and Lu Li, it came to the ears of the people, as well as the matter of Lu Li's army, almost everyone in the city praised it, saying that Lu Li's army was not like an ordinary rebel army, in short, the evaluation was very high, and the occurrence of these two things deeply impressed Lu Li in the hearts of the people.

General Lu is not a rebel and thief, people think so.

Seeing that the army was rested, and Lu Li regarded Lingcheng as a base camp for his life, An Xiabai was full of emotion in his heart.

In her previous life, she was a woman who had been in the boudoir for a long time, and she was also the daughter of a businessman, and she was not very familiar with Lu Li's beginnings, but she had also heard others talk about Lu Li's experience.

In his previous life, Lu Li also regarded Lingcheng as a place to settle down, but the process of taking Lingcheng was far from being smooth in this life, but the whole blood flowed like a river, and now with the help of Ling Hongjiu, taking Lingcheng is so smooth, does it mean that Lu Li's life will change in the future?

The apprehensive mood made An Xiabai frown subconsciously.

"Don't frown, Madame's frown doesn't look good." Just when she was in a trance, Lu Li suddenly appeared, and her soft fingertips gently stroked the folds between Ping An Xiabai's eyebrows.

An Xiabai's heart suddenly melted like snow.

"Madam, I just called you several times and you didn't agree, are you thinking about something?" Lu Li smiled and came to An Xiabai's side, and asked puzzledly, "Obviously, everything has been going smoothly in the past few days, why do you seem to be very hesitant, madam, do you miss Xiaodong Xiaoxue?" ”

"I miss it a little, but it wasn't because of them in a daze just now." An Xiabai turned her gaze, with a complicated expression on her face, "I was thinking about my husband just now." ”

Lu Li's manipulation technique is too strong, and I don't know what method he used to make Ling Hongjiu submit, not only that, Ling Hongjiu is even willing to help Lu Li appease Ling Cheng's hearts, all this seems so sudden, An Xiabai vaguely has a feeling of unreality.

After listening to her words, Lu Li laughed out loud.

"Madame is too exalted to me, where do I know how to control people, it's just to say something from my heart to Lord Ling, the two of us are good officials who want to work for the well-being of the people, and it is inevitable that we will talk more when we get together."

While the two were talking and laughing in the room, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Lu Li was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it in person, but frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" “

"General Qiyu, a group of people and horses suddenly came from outside the city to enter the city, and there were more than 20 people in total, saying that they were here to deliver things......"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that at this time, it is estimated that they are all caravans and the like, so he asked the guards to go back with the idea that more is better than less: "Let them go." ”

"But....." said the guard outside, hesitatingly, "they said they were here to find Madame." ”

"What?"

Before Lu Li could react, An Xiabai had already gotten up one step ahead of him, his eyes seemed to be falling into stars, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips.

"It's finally here!"

Her happiness made Lu Li even more confused, after all, Lu Li hadn't heard An Xiabai mention anything about the team before, he asked tentatively: "Madam, what is this team used for?" ”

An Xiabai didn't answer directly, but winked at Lu Li with a smile.

"See me and you'll find out."

She said as she took Lu Li's hand and hurriedly walked out of the door, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come outside the city, and at the same time, the guards came to report that they were waiting silently in the team outside the city, and as soon as they saw An Xiabai, their faces relaxed a lot, and they hurriedly walked with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, we can be regarded as seeing you." ”

An Xiabai nodded with a smile and said, "It's been a hard journey. ”

Taking advantage of the time between their words, Lu Li had already looked at the objects escorted by the team, and saw that there were a lot of grain and grass piled up on the carriage, and these people should be the people responsible for escorting the grain and grass.

"Madame, what do you want so much grain and grass for?"

Although Lingcheng is not a big city, it is located in a fertile plain, almost all crops are growing well, there is no drought this year, and there is no disaster, what is An Xiabai doing when he suddenly brings so much grain and grass?

An Xiabai did not answer the question directly, but only explained vaguely: "This grain and grass will definitely be of great use in the future." ”

As for the specific reason, no matter how Lu Li asked, he didn't say it, not that she didn't want to tell Lu Li, but she didn't know how to say this, after all, the siege in her mind wouldn't necessarily happen, right? Since he met Lu Li, many things in his previous life have changed, An Xiabai was not sure that the siege of Lingcheng would not happen, so on the way to the border pass, he used the silver ticket he brought to buy a lot of grain and grass, and begged people to send it to Lingcheng at the designated time, so there was this team to escort grain and grass.

She refused to say more, Lu Li didn't ask much even if he was confused, he believed that An Xiabai would never harm himself, so he ordered someone to put the grain and grass into the warehouse.

Because Lingcheng was taken peacefully, the people in the city were not affected by the war, so they had a high degree of favorability towards Lu Li, at this time, it can be said that Lu Li took advantage of public opinion, with Ling Hongjiu in charge, and his own army to resist the enemy, Lingcheng as a place to settle down, it can be said that it is impregnable, and even Lu Li can't help but sigh about Lingcheng.

Compared to his reaction, Ling Hongjiu, the other party in Ling Cheng's matter, was very different from him.

"It's not enough," Ling Hongjiu said, "that this city is not strong enough as a base area. ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and immediately asked Ling Hongjiu what he was thinking.

He is really not good at governance, if he is allowed to lead troops to the front line to fight, he will definitely be able to get a good record, but let him govern and manage it is different, although he understands something, but it is far from Ling Hongjiu's clear consideration, so Lu Li is very willing to follow Ling Hongjiu's advice in this regard.

"Those merchants from other places are uncontrollable," Ling Hongjiu said with a straight face, "If Brother Lu wants to use Lingcheng as a stronghold to wave his army south, he must turn Lingcheng into a truly impregnable city, and martial law must be imposed in the city." ”

Listening to his words, it seemed that he already had an idea in his heart, so Lu Li was relieved to hand over everything to Ling Hongjiu.

"I'm not good at governance, so I'd better leave this matter to Lord Ling."

Fortunately, Ling Hongjiu himself was also willing, because he had already had a plan in his heart, so Ling Hongjiu did things neatly, saying that it was the foreign guest chamber of commerce that brought danger and hidden dangers to Lingcheng, and he notified all the foreign guests in Lingcheng on the same day, saying that Lingcheng could not continue to live, and if he was willing, he would move away, and if he was unwilling, he would settle down in Lingcheng, and from then on, he would need to use a special pass to enter and exit Lingcheng.

Of course, there were a few of them who were unwilling to be obedient, no matter how Ling Hongjiu persuaded them, they couldn't persuade them to leave, and these nail-like people were sent away by Lu Li himself. After spending a lot of time and energy, the two of them finally governed Lingcheng into the most prosperous city within a radius of 100 miles.

Occasionally, foreign businessmen passing by, they couldn't help but sigh at the changes in Lingcheng, and some people came here just to invest in Lingcheng, for a while, Lingcheng was separated from the outside world and became a world of its own.

Along with the foreign merchants, there is news from the outside world. It is said that now the world has been chaotic, soldiers are everywhere, and the once stable country has been divided into four forces, King Li, who occupies the capital, Feng Bailin, who goes to Lincheng to recruit troops and horses all the way to claim orthodoxy, as well as the dock gang west of Qinghu, and the Lu Li force entrenched in Lingcheng. Almost everyone is guessing who will really get the world after the group of heroes.
