The other two houses also dug cellars, but the space was very small, and after putting the stored food, it was barely enough for four people, and it was used for emergency backup.

This place in the warehouse is the preferred hiding place, and Chang Mao and the three of them have also put in a lot of effort, hoping that after the war comes, they can make their lives more comfortable.

Chang Mao was very excited about being able to live underground, especially the cellar he had opened himself.

Tables, chairs, benches, soft beds, fragrant couches, wine and delicacies...... All of this is in Changmao's vision.

Ma Du teased: "Brother Mao, do you want to get two women for you." ”

"Hey, that's a good idea, I didn't think of it! Give me the silver, and I'll go find two kiln sisters. Chang Mao slapped his thigh excitedly, looking at his expression, Ma Du knew that he was serious, this idea was too evil, Ma Du hurriedly persuaded him.

Ma Du also warned Chang Mao not to dig too deep, the water layer in the south of the Yangtze River is very shallow, and it is the rainy season, if there is water seepage, it will be troublesome, let alone dig very large, so as not to collapse.

After dinner that day, there was a raging fire outside the city, and Chang Mao was very dissatisfied and continued to curse the bastard who burned grain outside the city. I don't know if his swearing worked, or if God doesn't want to recreate evil in the spring.

At the time of the second watch, the heavy rain fell like a scoop, pouring the fire outside the city through, but after more than an hour, there was a faint sound of fighting at the head of the city, even if it was raining heavily, Madu could vaguely hear it, but it soon disappeared again.

Early the next morning, Ma Du's "spy" Shen Wansan came to report the situation, saying that it was taking advantage of the heavy rain last night, and the Zhu army outside the city sent several elite troops to steal the city, and the unprepared defenders were caught off guard and almost took the city gate.

However, the Zhu soldiers who stole the city were still too few and had no follow-up, and they were finally killed by the defenders.

Shen Wansan sighed, as if he was feeling sorry for it, this wall grass was afraid that it had completely fallen to Lao Zhu psychologically at this moment.

Ma Du always thought that Chang Yuchun's head was stuffed with muscles, but he didn't expect him to be able to use such a strategy, no one would have thought that 30,000 horses outside the city would dare to make such a move.

Last night's heavy rain finally made the air less burnt and much fresher, and it was refreshing to take a breath. Ma Du went to the palace under Lao Liu's escort, and the other two continued to dig holes, one of these two people had no brains, and the other lacked strings, Ma Du didn't dare to let them get close to such a dangerous place in the palace.

Especially on the streets now, teams of soldiers come and go, and all kinds of city defense equipment are moving to the city wall, looking like a big war is coming.

In front of the palace, Ma Du saw Guan Jia, and Guan Jia quietly ran away with a piece of paper. When he entered the palace, Ma Du quietly opened it, and there was a Q version of the character portrait on it, and the painting on it was Ma Du himself.

Although it was painted extremely obscenely, Ma Du's characteristics were caught, and he knew it was himself at a glance. Ma Du couldn't help but smile on his face, this can be regarded as a love affair, and for some reason there was a trace of sweetness in his heart.

In the past, I only thought that this woman was beautiful and individual, and hoped that her married life would not be so boring, even if she was disgusted, Ma Du still leaned forward with a dead face, and it was impossible to deny that there was a little cynicism in it.

But when I received this painting, everything became different, this is no longer Ma Du's emotion, a woman who hates you will not spend so much effort to draw you a picture, especially an ancient woman.

Ma Du held the painting and looked at it while walking, several of his characteristics were extremely expressive in the painting, in the end, it was the sister of a great calligrapher, Song Shuang seemed to have some talent for painting.

He could see that he was carelessly bumped into someone else in the corner, Ma Du hurriedly apologized, and looked up to see that the other party was a strong and mighty man, like a soldier who could wear but not the dress of a guard, just a very ordinary short brown.

The man only glanced at Ma Du, and without saying a word, he turned his head and walked in the direction of the backyard of the palace, looking at his back, Ma Duxin said that this person looked so familiar, scratching his head and couldn't remember which one it was.

When he arrived at the duty room, Ma Du asked the servants to continue to decoct Liao Yongan, and when he arrived at the door of the cell, he turned his head and left, and once again coincidentally met Mao Xiang who came back from the toilet, and ignored him and went back to the palace directly.

Mao Xiang is not a crappy agent as Ma Du imagined, but very good, he knows that it is not easy to rescue Liao Yongan, and he needs Ma Du's cooperation, and he has been dragging Ma Du into his mission.

That Liao Yongan is also a smart person, although Mao Xiang did not reveal his identity to him, he must have guessed it. In the last contact, through Ma Du's different attitudes inside and outside the cell, Liao Yongan could definitely guess that he would not be far from ten.

These are two dangerous fellows, and Madu thinks it is better to stay away from them, lest they be struck by lightning and affect themselves.

In the next half month, Pingjiang lived very peacefully, Chang Yuchun did not attack the city again, nor did he continue to burn wheat, it is said that he was harvesting his own food to replenish the army.

Ma spent a very peaceful time, Mao Xiang and Yang Shuping seemed to know that Ma Du didn't want to have frequent contact with them, and they didn't take the initiative to contact him for a long time.

Ma Du has never been anywhere except Shen Wansan's house and the palace, including the Song family. He doesn't have the strong heart of the male protagonist of a spy war drama, and he has to fall in love while being a spy.

In order to reassure the eldest brother, Ma Du also made a special trip to the Song family to have a meal with the eldest brother, but this time he didn't even see Song Shuang's face, let alone close contact.

Compared with the calm of Pingjiang, the war in Hangzhou and Huzhou is in full swing. Huzhou defender Li Bosheng was shocked to hear that Xu Da was coming, so he sent a three-way army to block alone, and Xu Da also met the enemy in three ways.

Zhang Shicheng's army in the field does not seem to have won, not to mention that the opponent is Xu Da, and Xu Da has more Shenji battalions than in history, and the Huzhou defenders were defeated, so they had to retreat into the city to hold on.

Xu Da had more Shenji battalions, but the Huzhou defenders had less than the 60,000 troops of Pingjiang in history. There is Chang Yuchun, a fierce tiger guarding the door, who dares to go out at will, and Zhang Shicheng no longer has enough grain and grass to waste.

With the help of the Shenji Battalion, Xu Da only took more than ten days to break through Huzhou, which was high in the city and deep in the trenches and had plenty of food and food, captured the Huzhou guard Li Boren alive, and began to move to Pingjiang.

As for Zhu Wenzhong's side, it was even smoother, he led the army to quickly break through Tonglu, Fuyang, Xincheng and other Hangzhou counties, and approached the city of Hangzhou.

He did not attack Hangzhou directly, but wrote a letter to Xie Wu, the defender of Hangzhou. Xie Wu is Xie Zaixing's younger brother, and Xie Zaixing is Xu Da and Zhu Wenzheng's father-in-law, but Xie Zaixing defected to Zhang Shicheng in the twenty-third year of Zhizheng.

Speaking of which, Xie Wu and Zhu Wenzhong are also really relatives, at this moment Zhang Shicheng is already at the end of the road, what else is there to fight, so he had to take Xie Zaixing's son out of the city to surrender, Li Wenzhong took Hangzhou easily without effort.

At this moment, Pingjiang has had his arms cut off, and it is already a lonely city without reinforcements. Hearing these news from Shen Wansan's mouth, Ma Du's mood was finally much more relaxed, and his steps after work were brisk.

He walked down the alley to the warehouse, and heard that Chang Mao had already dug a house the size of a house, and he went to see if it had collapsed.

The alley was empty, and suddenly a thick arm stretched out from the corner and grabbed Madu.
