In Yuzhou City, thousands of miles away from Shangjing, Su Ran didn't know at all, because he helped Xu Yang halfway, and he was accidentally involved in the troubled times on the border.

It was because of this coincidence that he had a relationship with Jiuhuang, changed his own fate, and changed the fate of the Su family for a hundred years.

Being in Yuzhou, he didn't know everything that happened in the Sujia Villa in Shangjing.

Su Ran was safely under Mu Kun's order, and together with Su Nu and the deputy general Yu Mu, the three of them were in charge of preparing all matters related to the collection of grain and grass for the army.

Originally, I thought that there would be great difficulties in the collection of grain and grass this time, and everyone was planning for the worst, and the collection of grain and grass might not be enough for the entire army to eat for two days.

Now the land of Yuzhou is, it is a period of war and chaos, the Celestial Empire and Batu are fighting, Jingyu and Yu can be said to be in flames of war, the people are also displaced, the people have prepared enough surplus food for emergencies, and how can they be willing to exchange it for the army.

Sure enough, when Su Ran and the others collected grain and grass from the people in the city on the street in front of the general's mansion, the people looked sideways at Su Ran and the others, and the army wanted to collect grain and grass at a high price, and they didn't believe it in their hearts.

Until an old woman about fifty or sixty years old appeared, I saw the kind of cloth in the woman's hand, the only reserve food in her family, exchanged it with Su Ran and a few people.

Everyone looked at the silver that the old woman had exchanged for at a high price from Su Ran, and their hearts became excited, and they began to believe that the army really wanted to collect grain and grass at a high price.

Seeing that someone took the lead, people followed suit one after another, and each returned to his home, took his own reserve food, and came to exchange it with Su Ran and others.

Until the end, all the people in Yuzhou City ran home one after another and exchanged all their stock grain and grass with Su Ran and others.

On the one hand, there is the support of the Su family's semicolon money in Yuzhou, and the silver money can support the army to collect their grain from the people of Yuzhou at a high price; On the one hand, with the help of the Su family's rice merchants in Yuzhou, they secretly expropriated grain and grass from nearby towns, so that this expropriation of grain and grass could be so successful.

The amount of grain and grass that has been collected for two days far exceeds the estimate of Mu Kun and others, and it can support the army for ten days of military rations, which is a great good thing for Mu Kun and even for the entire army in Yuzhou.

At the insistence of Mu Kun and everyone, Jiuhuang had to stay in the general's mansion to recuperate from his injuries.

After a few days of recuperation, Jiuhuang has always had the habit of getting up in the morning every day, and he can't get out of bed here, so he can only lie on the bed to recuperate his injuries to spend every day.

When Mu Kun and Nan Ming went out of the mansion to inspect the city tower, Jiuhuang finally bypassed the little maid sent by Mu Kun to see her, so she came out and went to the general's mansion to breathe fresh air.

While the plain girl was busy following the people to exchange grain and grass, she paid attention to whether the crowd was chaotic.

But he didn't want to raise his head as soon as he suddenly saw Jiuhuang walking out of the general's mansion and walking towards this side. Seeing this, the plain girl touched her eyebrows.

Seeing that the people were actively exchanging grain and grass, Jiuhuang was in a very good mood, and came all the way to Su Nu's side, following Su Ran and others to collect grain and grass from the people.

"It's not good to recuperate in the General's Mansion, why did you come out?"

In her spare time, Su Nu approached Jiuhuang and whispered in her ear.

"My injuries are almost healed, come out for a walk, and help you by the way."

Hearing Jiuhuang's words, Su Nu snorted lightly, making it clear that she didn't believe Jiuhuang's words in her heart.

In the time she had been in the army, Su Nu had already known from the mouths of the soldiers how serious Jiuhuang's injuries were.

At that time, listening to the soldiers telling her about the poisonous hair of Jiuhuang after being hit by an arrow, until now, although Jiuhuang was still standing safely by her side, Su Nu already felt scared.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yang came in time with Yunmeng Zhenren's tips, otherwise he thought, maybe now, what she saw was not Jiuhuang's living person standing in front of her, and she could still talk to her like this? All she could see was her cold grave.

After glancing at Jiuhuang's pale face after so many days of cultivation, the amateur girl said angrily, "The general has an order, here is me, Su Shaozhuang and General Yumu, and the county lord should return to the general's mansion to take care of his body." ”

Hearing the alienation in Su Nu's words, Jiuhuang knew that Su Nu must still be angry with her, angry that she came to the barracks alone and didn't tell her.

Since the Su Nu came to Yuzhou, Jiuhuang has been looking for an opportunity to explain to Su Nu, but Su Nu is always avoiding her, even if they meet each other, it is also a pain of estrangement Others generally call her the county lord, instead of calling her Jiuhuang as usual.

Jiuhuang glanced at Su Ran, who was looking at them, and said to Su Nu in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I didn't have that much time to communicate with you. ”

Hearing Jiuhuang say this, Su Nu was busy with the things in her hands.

Then, after a long time, he said lightly, "Don't you still have time to communicate with me after you arrive at the barracks?" ”

Seeing that Su Nu said this, Jiuhuang had no choice but to say, "Tonight, you come to my room, and I will explain everything to you." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiuhuang nodded lightly at Su Ran and Yumu who were looking at her, and then turned around and walked towards the General's Mansion.

Su Nu glanced at the Jiuhuang who was leaving, retracted her gaze, and continued with what she was doing.

Among the ink bamboos, the elegant residence in the ink bamboo forest has not appeared since the last night when the nine phoenixes came.

Qin Jue didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

I saw that he still lived in the bamboo forest with his Xiao Si, playing one piano song after another every day, and his life was not chic.

The sound of the ethereal valley resounded in the bamboo sea again, and the soft and ethereal sound seemed to be able to cleanse people's souls.

Suddenly, the movements of Qin Jue's hands suddenly turned to one side, and the ethereal sound of the qin began to change with Qin Jue's changing gestures, becoming cheerful, and the blood was boiling, as if there were thousands of troops.

Qin Jue was immersed in the song he had created, but he had never seriously finished playing a piece called 'Kill'.

At this time, the little servant was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and he was walking out of the elegant house and coming towards the stone table.

When he walked to the stone table, Xiao Si put the tea in his hand on the stone table, and then stood behind Qin Jue.

Remembering the news he had found out from outside according to Qin Jue's instructions, Xiao Wu said, "Since the Jiuhuang County Lord was injured, the Celestial Empire army has returned to Yuzhou City, and Batu's reinforcements have also arrived. ”

Glancing at the Qin Jue who was still playing, the little guy who already knew the habits of the Qin Jue continued to say, "Prince Bass attacked Yuzhou with an army of more than 200,000 Batu, and he was already victorious, and Yuzhou became a bag, but he didn't want to be suddenly withdrawn by Nan Ming, the deputy general of the Marquis of Prospect Prefecture, with tens of thousands of troops. ”

With the sound of "Zheng", the qin, who had been pouring into playing the piano, heard the words of the little guy, and the gesture of pulling the strings turned suddenly, and the slender ten fingers pressed on the xylophone.

The piercing sound of the piano reached the little girl's ears, and he instantly felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing. Enduring the discomfort of his body, the little guy called out loudly, "Childe! ”

Qin Jue withdrew his hands, then reached out and picked up the tea prepared by the servant on the stone table, and tasted it gently.

"Nan Ming is not in seclusion, I think it has something to do with Jiuhuang!"

Qin Jue muttered a low sigh, and then asked, "What is the situation in Yuzhou now?" Reinforcements from the Celestial Empire should be coming soon! ”

Hearing Qin Jue's question, the little guy said, "Mu Kun, who was named the vanguard general by Zhao Tianzi, listened to Nanming's suggestion, and is now collecting grain and grass from the people of Yuzhou at a high price. ”

Although Qin Jue has lived in seclusion in the ink bamboo for many years, he does not know about the affairs of the Celestial Empire. At the beginning, when he had not yet retired, he had never participated in the affairs of the court, but according to the previous dynasty, the grain, grass and military salaries issued by the DPRK to the army were all related to a certain amount.

And Mu Kun wants to collect grain and grass for the army, so it is impossible to use military salaries, so where does the money and silver for his collection of grain and grass come from?

Thinking deeply about the people in the Yuzhou army now, Qin was absolutely clear, and said, "It seems that Su Ran has violated the ancestral teachings of the Su family, and has embarked on the road where the children of the Su family have begun to enter the official career." ”

Listening to Qin Jue's words, the little servant asked with a puzzled face, "Su Ran is the young owner of the Su family, and the Su family has three clan elders, if Su Ran's help to the army is passed back to the Su family, then wouldn't the clan elders of the Su family want to expel Su Ran from the Su family?" ”

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "No!" ”

Seeing his son-in-law answer so affirmatively, the little girl was puzzled, and couldn't think of where his son-in-law's must have come from.

Subsequently, the little maid heard Qin Jue talk eloquently, and said, "Su Ran is the only relative of the Su family, and the Su family's relatives will not expel Su Ran from the Su family, not to mention, Su Ran's father is also the current owner of the Su family, how could he watch his son-in-law be expelled from the Su family, if so, then wouldn't he have been the owner of the village for more than 20 years in vain." ”

On the contrary, not only will the Su family not expel Su Ran from the Su family, but Su Qi will also vigorously support Su Ran's approach. Su Qi will definitely gamble on Su Ran, betting that Su Ran's approach can bring huge benefits to the Su family, which is what their Su family has been wanting to do for a hundred years. ”

The little guy still looked at Qin Jue ignorantly, Qin Jue's words about the Su family didn't have any rumors on the rivers and lakes at all, but the little guy also knew that his son-in-law could know some family secrets that others couldn't know.

"When will you start going to Yuzhou according to the alliance leader's wishes?"

Hearing the little guy ask, Qin Jue fell into silence.

Thinking of the letter that had suddenly appeared in front of him not long ago, and surprised him.

The familiar handwriting let Qin Jue know who the owner of this letter was.

It was written by Qin Huan, who he had been looking for, but had been avoiding him.

The content in it tells his life, and why he has hidden his traces for so many years and does not want him to find them, and asks him to go out of the bamboo sea to help Jiuhuang recover Jingzhou together, because this is his fate.

"Wait!" Qin Jue sighed leisurely.
