I only lived for less than an hour, and before I could figure out how to make my family "regret", Zhang Shiqing regretted it first.

She lived in Feng Juniang's bedroom, which was the best one in the valley, and the application was relatively complete, but it was still narrow for her.

"Only one? Where is the living room? Where's the inside? Nor is there a transept? The windows are so small? Bed...... Is this really a bed? Zhang Shiqing asked a series of questions.

Yahuan has seen some "world" somewhat, "some people's houses...... That's it. ”

"It's not as big as a tent."

"Some tents...... Smaller than here. "I'm not sure if it's colorful.

When Zhang Shiqing came last time, he had only entered Xu Ji's room, and he didn't care about the size at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is also a cave-like place, but there are fewer furnishings and it looks more spacious.

Zhang Shiqing sat on the chair, was stunned for a while, and said to Yahuan suspiciously: "I...... Why should you come here? ”

"Because my uncle lives here......"

"Don't call him that."

"Because Gongzi Xu lives here, the county lord ...... The county lord really had nowhere to go, so he came here. ”

When it came to "nowhere to go", Zhang Shiqing thought of his loneliness, and tears filled his eyes.

Someone knocked on the door, and Colorful went to greet him.

The old servant stood outside, a little cramped, holding a tray with tea, snacks and other items in both hands, and said with a smile: "Just finished eating, drink some tea to eat, these snacks are all good things in the city, Mrs. Feng just sent them a few days ago." ”

Zhang Shiqing did eat a piece of barbecue and drank a glass of wine, but now he has no appetite, and said loudly: "Don't, don't, don't want anything, don't bother me!" ”

Colorful closed immediately.

The old servant was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked away, and sighed in a low voice: "Pity her as a county lord, she will definitely not be happy to fall into such a place." ”

Zhang Shiqing was sad enough, she fell asleep on the desk for a while, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dark, and the room was even more cramped, and she felt that she didn't even have a place to stay.

"No, he has to give me an idea. Everybody says he's smart, and he should show me something. Zhang Shiqing decided to go to Xu Ji and ask him to help him "regain" his position in the family.

The outside was brighter than the inside of the house, but the grass and trees shook, and all kinds of strange noises that were not found in the city came and went, sounding a little terrifying.

Colorful clinged to her master and whispered, "County Lord, I'll go back and get a candle." ”

"It's just a few steps." Zhang Shiqing also played a little drum in his heart, but he didn't want to show timidity.

Turning the corner was Xu Ji's room, there was no light in it, in fact, there was no light in any room in the entire valley, and everyone seemed to have gone to bed early, or they all left together.

The latter thought made Zhang Shiqing a little scared, walked a few steps quickly, came to the door, raised his hand and was about to knock, when he heard a low voice nearby: "We are here." ”

The voice came too suddenly, Zhang Shiqing was so frightened that he almost screamed, and Colorful took the first step, letting out a short "ah", and grabbed one of the county lord's arms tightly with both hands.

"Don't be afraid, it's us."

At last the master and servant saw where the people in the valley were.

The person who spoke was Xu Ji, and he and six other people were crouching in the shadows at the foot of the wall, like a row of stones.

Zhang Shiqing was shocked and angry, "What are you doing?" ”

"Come here." Xu Ji whispered.

"I'm not going to go."

"Be careful of scaring snakes."

"Snakes?" Zhang Shiqing and Colorful hurriedly walked to Xu Ji's side.

"It's not a snake, it's the grass that needs to be hit, yes, don't be alarmed by the weeds."

"Huh?" Zhang Shiqing was puzzled.

Xu Ji motioned for the two to come closer and lowered their figures.

The tall weeds were swaying in the night, and it seemed that a giant beast with teeth and claws would burst out of it at any time, Zhang Shiqing was scared in his heart, and leaned closely to Xu Ji's side, squatting behind her in Color, holding his breath, his body trembling slightly.

"What's that?" Zhang Shiqing asked in a low voice.

"These weeds, they will grow quietly at night when people are unprepared, so we ambush here to catch them off guard."

"Huh?" Zhang Shiqing was even more confused.

"Here's what you're given." Xu Ji handed a wooden stick.

"What for?"

"We will light a fire later, and deal with these weeds, only fire attack is the most effective."

Zhang Shiqing took the wooden stick and felt that one end was wrapped in a strip of cloth, which seemed to be coated with grease, and it was a little slippery to the touch.

Colorful also gets a share from others.

These people were so prepared that the fighting spirit of the master and servant was also mobilized, and they waited nervously.

"When will it ......"

"Shh Xu Ji motioned to Zhang Shi to clear the silence and stared more attentively.

A loud roar suddenly sounded in the distance, and Xu Ji got up suddenly, "Attack!" ”

Everyone stood up, someone quickly brought out a pot of charcoal, opened the lid, fanned it a few times, and the flames immediately came out, Xu Ji was the first to stretch out the torch, light the end, and then strode towards the grass.

Zhang Shiqing followed suit.

"Light the fire with the wind, not the wind." Xu Ji reminded that a handful of grass had been lit.

"Won't it burn the whole valley?"

"Ha, you underestimate them too much, it's very difficult to ignite them, and they won't be extinguished after long."

Xu Ji is right, the lush weeds are full of moisture, and they can only burn for a while after they are scorched.

Everyone jumped out, most of them holding two torches, lighting fires everywhere, not letting go of the grass, the flat ground, and the corners of the walls, and shouting incessantly, as if to scare the weeds not to grow.

Zhang Shiqing began to find it interesting, ran around, and snatched another torch from someone else's hand, and shouted excitedly every time he lit it.

Xu Ji followed her and imparted a wealth of "experience".

They had already dug several ravines in case the flames spread.

After all, the fire did not get bigger, but instead filled the valley with smoke.

Xu Ji announced the end of the arson, and all the torches were placed in a circle in the open space upwind, and everyone worked together to bring out the tables, stools and food that had been prepared, and ate and drank.

"Is this a celebration feast?" Zhang Shiqing asked, raising his voice because everyone was talking.

"No, it's a trick on the weeds, so they think it's still daytime and don't dare to grow."

"Haha, what's the other trick?" Zhang Shiqing found it more and more interesting.

"After dawn, I have to ride a few laps on horseback......"

"Call me."

Compared with arson, everyone prefers a night banquet, unrestrained, and eats a mess, but with the presence of the county lord, it is slightly restrained.

Zhang Shiqing had no intention of restraining herself, although the wine and meat were rough and there was no spacious hall, this night banquet still reminded her of life in the Eastern Capital.

In the second half of the night, the old servant urged everyone to rest, "Okay, okay, it's not too tired to make it so late every day." Let's all go and rest, the weeds won't grow tonight. Whoever wants to vomit over there, bury it yourself, whoever and whom, get up early tomorrow, it's your turn to clean up the mess. Alas, such a waste is really a sin......"

Zhang Shiqing was already drunk and staggered, and he was on the rise, refusing to rest.

Xu Ji picked her up and sent her to the room, she struggled hard, but as soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

When Zhang Shiqing woke up, it was already bright outside, her whole body was sore, dizzy and swollen, she didn't think about where she was for a while, and after finding that the bed was small, the house was small, and everything was small, she remembered that this was Siguogu.

"The county lord is awake." Colorful didn't dare to get drunk, got up early, and brought clean water, "Don't say anything else, the water in the valley is better than the one in the city, clear and cool, and a little sweet." ”

Zhang Shiqing didn't have the strength to speak, so he reluctantly got up, washed and changed his clothes, and finally sobered up a little, "What did you do last night?" It's been a long time since I've been drunk like this. ”

"Let's fight with the weeds, it's very useful, the county lord goes out to see, the yard seems to have expanded a little."

The sunlight outside was quite dazzling, Zhang Shiqing didn't feel that the yard had become bigger, only saw a few chickens walking around, "Where have all the people gone?" Haven't woken up yet? ”

"I've woken up a long time ago, and I've gone to ride horses."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"It's called, the county lord slept soundly and didn't wake up, and Xu Gongzi left two horses."

Zhang Shiqing returned to the house, changed into another dress, put on a ring, and rode a horse to chase after the others.

The road to be tread leads deeper into the valley, past the tomb of Fan Guan, to the foot of the mountain, and connected to the trail to the back mountain.

Strange to say, this weed only wreaked havoc in the valley, and the trails up and down the mountain were not greatly affected.

Zhang Shiqing's master and servant joined the crowd and trampled back and forth on horseback, only the weeds at the entrance of the valley were left alone, allowing them to grow wildly and become a natural wall.

At noon, everyone rested and ate, and the old servant prepared a meal for the county lord alone, but Zhang Shiqing didn't like it, so he had to stand outside and eat together like everyone else, and always felt that the food in the cauldron seemed to be more fragrant.

Soon, they fell in love with the little county lord, because she was not polite at all, not only ate together, but also remembered everyone's names, and especially liked to listen to them tell their experiences, the more bizarre the more they loved to listen.

More than a dozen people left in the valley, most of them are Wu people and the descendant army, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they usually chat with each other and exaggerate, but now some people are serious, they have to add fuel and vinegar, everyone has the merit of killing more than 100 enemies, and they have all crawled out of the pile of dead people.

The afternoon is quieter, and everyone goes their own way.

Xu Ji was reading and writing in the room, Zhang Shiqing walked around, came uninvited, saw that he was reading seriously, and did not say hello, sat next to him, sat a little tired, leaned on the table and tilted his head to look at him, and gradually his eyes were a little blurred.

Xu Ji put down the book and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a nap?" ”

"What's there to be fun about?"

Xu Ji thought for a while, "I'm going to carry water and chop firewood later." ”

"Setting fires, drinking, horseback riding, and all sorts of fun."

"No, it's a stalemate between the two armies now, it's enough to set fire once every three days, and tomorrow we'll reorganize the ditch, it shouldn't be fun."

Zhang Shiqing yawned and straightened up, "I guess too, the valley is so big, the people are so big, where can it be fun?" ”

"Well, when you're bored, the palace should take you back."

"I won't go back, as long as that little barbarian girl is still there, I will never go back, and I haven't forgotten the purpose of this trip: what is your idea?"

"The idea of getting rid of the 'little barbarian girl'?"

"yes, you said you would consider it yesterday."

"Hmm...... In a hurry, you have to wait for the right time. ”

"What kind of timing?"

"If you can get a military report from Yecheng, I may be able to find an opportunity from it."

"What does the military newspaper have to do with the 'little barbarian girl'?"

"The relationship is big, if the Jizhou army is frequently frustrated, Yecheng must enlist the help of He Rong's cavalry, if the front is smooth sailing......"

"There is no need for He Rong's cavalry, that is, there is no need for 'little barbarians'!" Zhang Shiqing understood, got up and said with a smile: "This is simple, I will have someone send a military newspaper tomorrow." ”
