Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer also felt sorry for Peach Chase Rabbit's body injury, so they didn't refuse when they heard the words, and the two people on the left and one on the right reasonably put Peach Chase Rabbit on the bed.

As soon as Peach Rabbit lay down on the bed, he complained:

"What does this smell like? Why does it smell like fat powder? Young master, when did you have this kind of girl's hobby? ”

Lan Ziyi scolded with a smile when he heard this:

"Third brother, you talk a lot of nonsense! Now in the rainy season, the bedding is all moldy without incense, how to sleep? ”

Tao Zhutu has a deep obsession with incense, even if Lan Ziyi opened his mouth, he still muttered:

"I live in the same courtyard with the young master, and I don't need incense. I think young master, you just became hypocritical after coming to Jiangnan. ”

Hearing this, the peach tiger who put the peach and the rabbit on the bed pulled the quilt for the peach and rabbit and said:

"As long as you talk a lot, the young master kindly lent you the bed to sleep on, but you talked nonsense. I think you're just too shallow! ”

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit joked:

"I'm so hurt so shallowly, it's also for you, big brother, I'm afraid that no matter how seriously I hurt, I'm afraid that you will be sad and cry."

Peach Rabbit's words made everyone laugh, and it took a while for the room to stop laughing.

After laughing, Lan Ziyi opened his mouth to greet Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu and said:

"Two brothers, let's talk about what happened outside today."

At this time, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu had already done it in front of the table where Tao Zhutu had sat just now, and the ladies waiting outside the door also served hot tea to the two of them and Lan Ziyi. These servants sent by Li Minchun have been serving Lan Ziyi and them for several days, and everyone has begun to get along with each other, and Tao Zhulu has not found out that these people have ulterior motives for the time being, so Lan Ziyi is not as wary of them as he was when he first returned home.

Tao Zhuhu saw the tea and immediately picked it up and took a sip, and immediately put down the tea when he found that his mouth was hot.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"Big brother is thirsty."

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"No, I've been running outside the city for days, and I've changed several horses, and I'm also dry-mouthed."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"In that case, big brother, you should quickly tell me about the situation outside the city."

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"The demon thief came from Xinting to cross the river to the east, and the nature of the passage was rotten. However, after being defeated by us and the Eastern Army, the demon thieves were completely dispersed. After I checked, the thieves closest to the capital were all hiding in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away, and there were no thieves in the prefectures and counties and ordinary villages controlled by the government. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, and Tao Zhutu interjected:

"So the demon thief has been pacified?"

Tao Zhuhu replied:

"Tens of thousands of demon thieves scattered in the mountains and forests, as few as a hundred, as many as a thousand, and now they are still hiding because they have just been broken by the official army, so they dare not come out, and when they are very hungry in the mountains and have no food to eat, you see if these demon thieves will run out and rob the state and county. You haven't seen the scene of those cowardly people who suffered disasters and had nothing to eat outside Luoyan Pass and went south to beat autumn grass. I don't dare to call the current situation 'a thief'. “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Where is the furthest thief goes?"

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"I have confirmed with my own eyes that there are already demon thieves gathering in the mountains in the north of Huiji, and I don't know if there are any farther away."

Lan Ziyi nodded again when he heard this, and then he asked:

"What's the situation in the Beijing army?"

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"The battalions are still in peace, and there is no commotion heard. I just returned to Beijing today, and I handed over the situation in Beijing to Erlang to investigate. “

Hearing this, Tao Zhulu put down the tea bowl and said:

"Of course, the battalions have nothing to do, first there is the Taiwei in charge, and then there is the father-in-law of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, now all the Eastern Army has been broken up, and all the personnel are mixed into the Beijing camp, and the leaders are all the generals of the Beijing camp, and the Eastern Army has no chance of chaos at all."

Lan Ziyi said:

"However, the losses of the Beijing battalion are huge, except for the sailors on standby on Jinghu, the other battalions are simply the Beijing army mixing sand into the eastern army, no matter how you send people to supervise the army, no matter how you change the generals, you can't change the fact that the eastern army is in the majority."

Peach Chase Tiger heard the words and said:

"If the imperial court is not worried about the town army entering Beijing, then it can only hope to gradually replace the veterans of the Eastern Army with new soldiers every day."

Tao Zhulu added:

"As far as I know, the forbidden armies stationed in the north have already begun the work of selecting soldiers, young master, you also know that even if the eastern army is dismantled and filled in the battalions, the Beijing army is still tens of thousands of people away."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi moved his body in the chair to make himself lie more comfortable, and then he said:

"That's it, these things are not what we should think about, whether the Beijing army is stable or not is to worry about the two fathers-in-law Zhang Mingyue and Taicheng, I better save some effort."

Then Lan Ziyi turned around, looked at Tao Zhulu and asked:

"What's going on in the city?"

Peach Road:

"The price of rice has come back."

Lan Ziyi snorted coldly when he heard this, and slammed the cup on the table, only to smash it, he said:

"It's all a good thing that King De did! Obviously, the green and yellow are not connected, and it is clear that the south and north of the river are all mixed up by demon thieves, but when the capital was besieged, the price of rice was the lowest in recent years? The military rations allocated by Taicang were hacked by King De like this. I can't understand that King De is the emperor's favorite son, living in such a big mansion, there is no shortage of money to spend, but he is so greedy for money! I really don't understand what he's thinking. “

As soon as he mentioned King De Lan Ziyi, he was angry, and the Tao brothers knew the grievances between Lan Ziyi and King De, so they no longer interjected when Lan Ziyi was angry.

After Lan Ziyi scolded and scolded and finished the fire, he asked Tao Zhulu again:

"Is there anything else going on in the city?"

Tao Zhulu heard the words:

"There's nothing else to do. Does the young master want to listen to jokes? I've heard a few anecdotes. “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi shook his head with a smile and said:

"Another day, one day when I'm bored, I'll naturally ask the second brother to listen to the joke."

Lan Ziyi said that Tao Zhulu remembered something, and he said:

"Oh, by the way, the young master told the eldest brother that I have settled down with that Xu Sanhei."

Lan Ziyi's expression became solemn when he heard this, he leaned sideways on the handle of the chair, and asked with concern:

"But found a yard?"

Tao Zhulu nodded and said:

"It's northwest of the city."

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"That'...... How did Brother Xu's old mother and wife scold me? ”

Peach Road:

"When I went to the first time, Mrs. Xu just cried, and Sister-in-law Xu didn't say anything. Yesterday when I went to send the silver again, the old lady and sister-in-law asked me to thank Wei Hou, and they also said that the general in the camp had found Xu Sanhei's body, thanks to the young master's righteousness, the two of them had the money to prepare the coffin cemetery for the corpse of Sanhei, not only that, but they also had money to help several other families to lose, it is said that they were also orphans and widows, and they couldn't even eat. ”

Lan Ziyi closed his eyes in pain when he heard this, and sighed:

"Ziyi is incompetent, so many brothers have died, the sister-in-law and wife of the Xu family are taken care of by me, so what about the other soldiers who died because of me, their families?"

Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Tiger were speechless, and they didn't know how to answer, and after a while, Peach Chase Tiger comforted Lan Ziyi and said:

"Young master, the commander of the three armies is the commander of the soldiers, as long as there is a war, every order you give will take people's lives, whether it is friend or foe. The young master is willing to pay to take care of the bereaved families of the soldiers, which can already make those soldiers under the Nine Springs blind. ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi lay on the chair and shook his head:

"But that's not enough, it's not enough!"

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, the room fell silent, but fortunately, Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo arrived at this time, relieving the embarrassing atmosphere.

When the father and son of the Qiu family arrived at the door of the bedroom, they first greeted Lan Ziyi from afar, and the two people in the room, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, got up and saluted in return.

After the father and son made a fuss, they saw that Lan Ziyi was sullen and did not greet them, and they also noticed the embarrassing atmosphere in the room, Qiu Wenruo opened his mouth and said:

"My father and I were ordered by Wei Hou to come to discuss matters, but I didn't expect that it was not the right time, and Wei Hou was not in the mood to treat me and my father now. In that case, my father and I took our leave. ”

Saying that, Qiu Wenruo gave up his hand and prepared to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up and prepared to jump up from the chair, he said:

"Ziyi is rude and insults the two gentlemen! Please stay, sir! Just now, I just talked to a few brothers about the bereaved families of the soldiers who died in the war, and I was in a sad mood for a while, and I lost my etiquette. Please forgive me, sir! ”

Tao Zhuhu didn't wait for Lan Ziyi to get up and pressed him back to his seat, and Tao Zhulu got up and went to the door to pull the father and son of the Qiu family into the door and sat down, he said:

"The young master already has a sore foot, and the two gentlemen also know it. Gentlemen, if you want to compare this tone, you will be suspected of nitpicking. ”

The father and son of the Qiu family had been pulled to the table by Tao Zhulu at this time and sat down, and when he heard this, Qiu Xiaozhi said:

"That's, that's."

Lying on the bed, Tao Zhutu was quite unhappy with the behavior of the enemy's father and son, and he snorted coldly:

"Reading people just have a lot of things, and if you don't know where you are, you will hurt your face."

Qiu Wenruo smiled when he heard this:

"Yasheng said: The poor are not fed by the mouth. My father and I came to join the staff because of the gentleman of Weihou. If Wei Hou didn't have the heart of Corporal Lixian, I wouldn't be so nitpicky. “

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Sir, this is backbone, it's too late for Ziyi to praise him."

After Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers finished talking about the situation outside for the father and son of the Qiu family, the lady added new tea to everyone on the table, and Qiu Xiao picked up the tea bowl and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, when I first came, I heard the servant say that someone outside the door asked to see Wei Hou."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi waved his hand and said disdainfully:

"It's Zhou Buhui again! I don't see him, I don't see anyone! Let him kneel at the door! If he hadn't betrayed me, how could I have been impeached by hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China? “

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"Zhou Buhui is still there, but there are other people who want to ask to see Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Oh? Anyone else? Who is it? “

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"It's Cui Hao."
