Chapter 728 Willing to be a concubine
Li Zicheng was accustomed to getting up early, ran a long distance on the mountain trail, his body was hot, and his body was slightly sweaty, so he returned to the barracks, wiped it with cold water, and after breakfast, he went to Jinzhong Mountain to see how the Jinzhong Village was built.
He Xiaomi quietly came to Li Zicheng's side, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage and said, "Governor, there are people in the king who have come to invite you for lunch......
"Which king is the chief, is it Wang Hu?" Li Zicheng estimated that Wang Xi had already invited guests last night, and it should be Wang Hu's turn today.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, it's Wang Xi!"
"Wang Xi?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Didn't he invite me last night?" Why do you have another treat today? Is it for the production of glass? ”
"This ...... Wang Lichang didn't say anything, only said that there were some trivial things to ask for...... He Mi hesitated, and said: "Wang Lichang didn't say to invite the governor, but just asked someone to ask his subordinates...... The subordinates don't know what to do, so please ask the Metropolitan Governor ......"
"Oh?" Li Zicheng withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiaomi, and said: "Since Wang Lichang is kind, Xiaomi will go, maybe Wang Lichang has something to do, it's not good to tell me face to face!" ”
"Governor, is this appropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? The military and civilians are a family! Li Zicheng didn't know what Wang Xi was thinking, but he didn't have to bother to guess, since he invited He Xiaomi to dinner, there would be a hint at the banquet, and everything would wait for He Xiaomi to come back.
"Then, subordinates ......"
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "Go, the army is by my side, it is now the war, there may be a situation at any time, drink less and eat more!" ”
"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi took two personal soldiers and left Jinzhong Mountain and went to the direction of Wangjialou.
Li Zicheng came to the foot of Admiralty Mountain, and circled up along the trail that had just been cleared, the trail was originally there, and it was basically difficult to widen, and the soldiers just removed the thorns and weeds on both sides, added steps to the places that were too steep, and then put on the rocks, if the original rocks were too smooth, they would also be replaced with rough, durable rocks.
The path on the west side was originally the main road, and with a little repair, it can be completed, and it is halfway up the mountainside, but it is blocked by a stone wall, fortunately there is a half-human high stone gate on the stone wall, and Li Zicheng passes through the stone gate.
On the back of the stone gate, it has been made of earth and stone into a high platform, the high platform is far from the top of the stone wall, but half a person high, behind is a piece of gentle land, under the visual inspection, there are about three or four acres, and three bamboo wall thatched houses have been built.
Although these fortifications are very rudimentary, they can be erected in such a short time, which is very good.
Li Zicheng pushed open the empty wooden door and found that there were only a few huge wooden beds in the room, which occupied almost six or seven percent of the room, and it was obviously a barracks where the soldiers stayed.
From this piece of gentle up, along the winding path, I don't know how many steps, I heard the sound of "clanging" from above, Li Zicheng thought it was the top of the mountain, went up to see, there are hundreds of strong men are working, but this is not the top of the mountain, but a huge platform.
The platform is not absolutely flat, but a sloping mountain nest, sandwiched between two peaks, where soldiers and strong men build stone walls in front of the uphill paths on both sides, and thatched huts made of bamboo, thatch, rattan, etc.
The shape of the platform is basically shaped, but the stone walls and thatched huts have not yet been completed.
Seeing Li Zicheng, the soldiers put down their work and knelt down to Li Zicheng one after another, "Governor! ”
"No need to be polite, busy with your business!" Li Zicheng waved his hand and walked through the construction site for a while, the stone walls on both sides just cut off the path up the mountain, and the back of the stone wall was reinforcing the high platform mixed with mud and stone, which was equivalent to the head of the city and could be used as a watchtower.
This flat land is very large, and if there is enough time to build a military camp, at least a thousand soldiers can be stationed.
With the topography of Admiralty Village, it should be able to cut off the Shangshan Road, not to mention rifles, even bows and arrows, shooting down from the mountain, and there are also official roads that can be blocked, as long as there is enough food and fresh water on the mountain......
Li Zicheng's heart moved, didn't he say that there was fresh water, how could he not see it?
He asked the soldiers on the construction site, only to know that the Fushui River was on the other side of the path, so he went down the mountain along the east path, and sure enough, after walking less than a hundred steps, he heard the sound of gurgling water, and a silver-white ribbon of spring water was flying down from the top of the mountain, and most of the mountain road was up and down the Fushui River.
This is only the source of the Fushui River, and the amount of water is not abundant, but it should not be a problem to provide drinking water for hundreds or thousands of soldiers.
Li Zicheng descended from the mountain road on the east side and made a detour for more than ten miles before returning to the military camp on the west side.
After lunch and basking in the sun, Li Zicheng was about to take his soldiers to the mountains to find some prey, but He Xiaomi came back, his face was flushed, and he didn't know if he drank wine or was blown by the mountain wind.
"The Governor ......"
Li Zicheng glared at him, "Xiaomi, how is it, the food of the Wang Li Chang's family is quite rich, right?" ”
He Xiaomi's head was lowered, like a primary school student who forgot to hand in his homework, "The governor is not a subordinate...... It was the king who had to pester his subordinates to drink, but the subordinates refused......"
"Is the king long? He is an ordinary person who does not understand the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion," Li Zicheng said lightly: "If the prince asks you to surrender to the enemy, will you also go?" ”
He Xiaomi was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates know that they are wrong, and they ask the capital to punish ......"
Li Zicheng thought for a moment, and then said with a calm face: "Get up, it's cold now, drinking a little wine can warm your stomach, it's not too much, but your face is red from drinking, what does it look like in front of your brothers?" ”
"The Metropolitan Governor...... Subordinates ...... "After He Xiaomi got up, he didn't dare to raise his head, but just peeked at Li Zicheng's face with his spare eyes.
"Forget it, let's go back to the camp and rest first!" Li Zicheng was about to enter the mountain, but He Xiaomi was hesitant and said: "Dadu Governor, Wang Lichang asked his subordinates to bring a message to Dadu Governor......
"With a word? What words? Li Zicheng saw He Mi looking left and right, so he said: "Let's enter the camp first!" And he did not say much, but went straight into the tent.
He Xiaomi then followed in, first made tea for Li Zicheng and handed it over, Fang said: "Metropolitan Governor, Wang Lichang said......"
"Say what?" Li Zicheng frowned, "Xiaomi, after eating a meal, how did you become a mother-in-law?" ”
"Dadu Governor ......" He Xiaomi swallowed his saliva before lowering his head and saying: "Wang Lichang said that his family has a daughter, Wang Wanyu, who should have seen the ...... of Dadu"
"Wang Wanyu?" Li Zicheng remembered that yesterday, she also came up to pour wine, and the woman in the white jacket and blue dress immediately appeared in her mind, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"Wang Li Changtuo's subordinates have asked the governor if he is ...... Do you like Wang Wanyu...... "He Xiaomi finally made it clear, and he didn't feel a lot more relaxed, he was just rumoring, what is the attitude of the metropolitan governor, that is the business of the metropolitan governor.
"Huh?" Li Zicheng was stunned, it turns out that Wang Xi has this meaning? No wonder Wang Wanyu came to pour wine yesterday, and I thought it was strange at the time, but now it seems that Wang Xi was interesting at that time.
He recalled Wang Wanyu's appearance in his brain, he only felt cute and cute, he could listen to his parents' words and pour wine in front of strangers, he should belong to a good girl, right? The hands are as white and tender as the tips of green onions, but the face seems to be a little yellow, and the appearance is not bad, it should be seventy-five points, right?
Seeing He Xiaomi's eyes looking forward to him, waiting for his answer, Li Zicheng was stunned, why did he think so much? I already have a lot of wives and concubines, what is the matter with Guan Wang Wanyu?
Why did Wang Xi do this?
Is he hoping to make a fortune from glass? Didn't you give him the complete process? Could it be that he is a fortune teller, calculated that he can win the world, and he will send his daughter to his arms early?
"The Metropolitan Governor......" He Xiaomi has been waiting for the answer of the Metropolitan Governor.
Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Xiaomi, tell Wang Lichang that the governor of Pontus already has a wife and concubine!" ”
"This ......" He Xiaomi's face was obviously a little disappointed, the Metropolitan Governor rejected Wang Xi, his temporary big foot, could be regarded as unsuccessful.
"Xiaomi doesn't need to say much, take a moment to tell Wang Lichang what I said, don't let outsiders know, so as not to embarrass the Wang family!" Li Zicheng knows that in this era, it is very shameless for a woman to be rejected, so the impact must be minimized.
"Metropolitan Governor, this ......" He Xiaomi hesitated for a while, and saw that Li Zicheng was more decisive, so he hurriedly said: "My subordinates will go and tell Wang Li Chang......"
"You don't have to go now," Li Zicheng said, "Have a good rest in the afternoon, and then go to visit Wang Lichang in the evening." ”
"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomihui went to rest in his camp, while Li Zicheng took his own soldiers to search for prey in the mountains, and in one afternoon, he actually hunted a wolf, three badgers, and more than a dozen pheasants and hares with a rifle.
Although there are a lot of prey, it is obviously far from enough to let all the pro-soldiers have a full meal, unless it is stewed in a pot and let the pro-soldiers drink a mouthful of soup.
Li Zicheng thought about it, he didn't hand it over to the firefighters that night, and he was going to go around the mountains tomorrow, first, to hunt some wild things for the soldiers to taste, and secondly, to let the soldiers practice marksmanship.
If you simply train on the target, it must be very boring, and if you put your own soldiers in the wild to hunt, their interest will definitely be higher, and those who can shoot hares and pheasants can't shoot the enemy's head?
The next morning, He Xiaomi came over early, heard Li Zicheng turning over on the bed, hurriedly opened the rolling curtain and went in, Li Zicheng just got up from the bed, saw He Xiaomi, and said: "Xiaomi, get some washing water, let your brain sober up first, and stay back in the mountains to trot for a while, early in the morning, the air is the freshest." ”
"Yes, Metropolitan Governor," He Xiaomi turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought a basin of hot water, and said carefully: "Metropolitan Governor, my subordinates went to Wang Lichang's house last night......
"Ao, what did the king say?" Li Zicheng said while rinsing: "I didn't let outsiders know, right?" ”
"No, no," He Xiaomi shook his head desperately, hesitating and said: "Dadu Governor, Wang Lichang said that the daughter of the Wang family is willing to marry Dadu Governor as a concubine!" ”
