The women standing in the verandah on the right began to disperse, and with the scattered footsteps, the fragrance of red and green clothes wafted with the occasional ringing sound.

"Sister Ajing......" The girl in the goose yellow short jacket leaned over with a happy expression on her face.

"It turns out that this physical examination is to pee on the paper stick......" The girl stuck out her tongue, "Yesterday scared me ......"

"Can you say less?" Ah Jing replied impatiently, giving the girl a blank look.

Xiao Yu walked slowly with her head down, and the other women avoided her from afar, as if they were afraid of being contaminated with some bad luck.

Linglong held her skirt in both hands, her petite body swayed with her footsteps, and she trotted after her.

"Sister Xiaoxi......" Linglong cried.

Xiao Yu looked back at Linglong.

"It really scared me to death just now...... "Linglong said with palpitations, "why do you want to fight against the mistress......"

"Mistress?" Xiao Yu looked disdainful, "She deserves it too?!" ”

Linglong looked at Xiao Yu with wide eyes, feeling as if she suddenly didn't know the person opposite.

"Linglong, we were sent to the General's Mansion by the Tartar soldiers together, and we are all people without our fathers and mothers......" Xiao Yu held Linglong's hand and showed a soft smile on his face, "In the future, the two of us will take care of each other, do you understand?" ”

"Hmm!" Linglong nodded heavily.

In the verandah to the left of the main room, more than a dozen young girls stood in trepidation, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

"Uh...... You all ——, this...... Joyful ......"

Yang Ming looked at the group of girls in front of him, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, without Xu Ying by his side, Yang Ming faced these girls alone for the first time, and he felt a little unable to cover the field.

There was a sobbing in the crowd, and a young girl rushed out of the crowd, hitting her head against the pillars of the verandah, and with a muffled "bang", her body collapsed limply to the ground.

The crowd rushed up to pick up the girl, who held her head high, tears on her face and a large blood stain on her forehead.

"What are you doing here?!" Yang Ming roared sharply.

The girls all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yang Ming's gaze, a girl held a handkerchief, wiping the blood stains on the forehead of the girl who hit the pillar, and the white handkerchief was suddenly dyed bright red.

"The slave doesn't want to live anymore, general, let the slave and maid die, the slave and maid will always remember the kindness of the general......" The girl begged Yang Ming, and the tears on her face were soaked with blood and rolled down.

"Don't want to live at every turn? What kind of logic is this?! Yang Ming roared angrily, "Listen to Lao Tzu, none of you are allowed to die......"

"I'll do it anyway." Xu Ying came over with the child in her arms and smiled at Yang Ming, "General, you can rest for a while." ”

In the department room in the west wing of the lobby, Liu Bixian, Ding Yousan, Xie Qingyuan and others were deliberating. Ding Yousan's expression seemed to be a little excited, and he said something vigorously, Liu Bixian listened lightly with his hands behind his back, paced a few steps, and sat down behind the bookcase.

A fair-eyed maid stepped forward, bowed down to offer Liu Bixian a teacup, Liu Bixian took a sip, gently put the teacup on the table, and said to Ding Yousan: "It's better to postpone this matter for now, and it's not too late to do it after the New Year." ”

After that, Liu Bixian no longer paid attention to Ding Yousan, took out the white porcelain pipe from his sleeve and played with it, the maid hurriedly stepped forward, took out the cigarette pouch, filled the pipe with tobacco, and took out the fire sickle purse, took out the flint and put it in his hand, and pinched the moxa and the fire knife together with the other hand, and deftly stroked on the flint, and the moxa flint ignited.

Liu Bixian took a puff of cigarette and looked at the maid with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

This maid's name is Xiao Cui, and she was sent to his house by the merchants of Shunyi City the day before yesterday, and she sent it together, along with two hundred taels of silver. Liu Bixian contributed to the big event of the merchants borrowing silver from Yang Ming, and the merchants naturally knew how to repay the favor, and this etiquette was indispensable.

"Why hasn't the general come out yet?" Ding Yousan asked. Liu Bixian can't pass this hurdle, it seems that the matter can only be reported directly to Yang Ming.

Liu Bixian was also secretly surprised in his heart, in the past, Yang Ming came out early in the morning to see things, but today it is three poles, but there is no trace of the general. After taking a puff of cigarette, his eyes fell on the maid Xiaocui again, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

"General!" Ding Yousan saw the iconic camouflage figure coming in at the door at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with fists.

"Oh, Mr. Liu, Mr. Ding Bai...... Everybody's here. Yang Ming greeted everyone.

"The general is a late spring sleep today." Liu Bixian smiled and joked with Yang Ming.

"Spring sleep? Hey...... A room full of broken things......" Yang Ming smiled bitterly.

"General, twenty archers have been transferred into a team." Ding Yousan seized the opportunity and hurriedly reported to Yang Ming, "Xie Xiaoqi led the archers to train, but now there is no archery ......."

"Archery? Isn't it on campus? ”

"General, the school yard is now full of refugees, we have to clear the arrow path......" Ding Yousan looked at Liu Bixian and did not continue.

"This ......," Yang Ming groaned slightly, "There are still two or three days to go before the New Year, so let's let the refugees have a peaceful New Year." It's never too late to do it again at the beginning of the year......"

Liu Bixian let out a puff of smoke and looked back at Ding Yousan with a smile.

"General, if the archers don't train for a long time, their hands will be rusty!" Xie Qingyuan took a step forward, bowed down and clenched his fists, and said solemnly.

"Oh, that'...... Let's take a look at the school and see if we can come up with a solution. Yang Ming hesitated and said.

Xu Ying was walking in the verandah in front of the West Wing with the child in her arms, her pretty face seemed to have a layer of frost, and the child in her arms was crying, which made her even more upset.

"Young grandmother, let the slave and maid come and hug it." A girl with a sharp face hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child, held it in her arms and coaxed it with "oh oh", the child gradually stopped crying, and a cute smile appeared on her red little face.

"Young grandma, that little fang is not a good thing at first glance." The girl shook the child in the crook of her arm and said, "For several days the slave has seen her secretly watching the general......

"You don't know until now?" Xu Ying looked at the girl coldly.

The girl had a frightened look on her face, and quickly bent down and lowered her head.

"Young grandmother, it was Ruhua's negligence, and Ruhua will definitely keep an eye on that little in the future, and see if she dares to her tail......"

Xu Ying snorted coldly in her nose, ignored the picturesque anymore, and continued to walk forward.

Ruhua hurriedly followed with the child in her arms, with a well-behaved smile on her face.

"Young grandmother, look, the little boy's eyebrows and eyes look like a general's ......" Picturesque found a pleasing topic and said.

With a "snap", a heavy slap fell on the picturesque face, almost knocking her to the ground.

Rows of shacks are neatly erected on the school grounds, and each row of shacks is placed on either side of the walkway, filled with clean water, for the refugees' daily use and fire prevention. Not far away, rows of stoves are set up, around which refugee women are busy preparing for today's lunch. In the distance behind the stove, straw and firewood were piled up like a hill.

The aisles were full of people, many vendors were carrying loads and carts hawking, and some refugees had already put on new clothes, and they were in groups around the vendors to select goods and bargain with the vendors. A group of city children ran and jumped in the corridors and shacks, looking around for the rare sight. With a "bang", a child threw a lit firecracker into the shack and exploded, and the owner of the shack chased him out and yelled at the child who jumped and fled.

In one corner of the school yard, there is an open space of dozens of paces, where the sergeants line up and practice with swords and guns. Twenty archers stood in a row, holding horned bows, and neatly pulled the bowstrings without arrows for a few breaths, and with a command, at the same time released the bowstrings, the horned bows bounced violently, and the trembling bowstrings hummed in the cold wind.

"General, they are all good archers." Xie Qingyuan bowed down and reported to Yang Ming, "The small one has been tested, everyone can pull the heavy bow of twelve forces, and the least person can shoot ten arrows in a row." ”

Yang Ming nodded solemnly. Now his team has more than 800 soldiers, all of whom have been carefully selected from among the applicants, and as long as they are properly trained, they are a strong fighting force. In addition, he had more than 130 horses—in addition to the thirty-seven captured on the road, most of the horses that had escaped shrapnel and were knocked down by the grenade blast when they entered the city to fight.

"The matter of the arrow path must be resolved as soon as possible." Yang Ming said, "I'll discuss with Mr. Liu when I go back and see if I can move some shacks." ”

"Where do the sergeants eat?" Yang Ming asked Ding Yousan.

"Part of the big canteen has been built, but the facilities are still very rudimentary." Ding Yousan said, "The craftsmen are rushing to work, but now it's the New Year, and I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

"Mr. Ding Bai, I will have dinner with my brothers today." Yang Ming said to Ding Yousan, "You go and prepare, prepare more wine." ”

"Whoa!" Ding Youyou bowed three times to receive the order.

In the large cafeteria, pots full of cabbage and bacon were placed on simple wooden shelves, and the sergeants gathered around, holding large bowls of wine and shouting. These days, the sergeants have heard a lot of magical legends about Yang Ming, and today Yang Ming came to the barracks for the first time to eat with them, and everyone was extremely excited.

"!" Yang Ming raised his wine glass and said to the sergeants with a smile.

"General Xie!" The sergeants roared loudly, craned their necks, and drank the wine from their bowls.

"Brothers have worked hard!" Yang Ming drank the wine in the cup, "Everyone do a good job!" I will not do any wrong to my brethren! ”

"I am willing to die for the general!" A circle of sergeants roared together, and the roof tiles buzzed.

Surrounded by several officers such as Ding You, Yang Ming came to the next table.
