Li Mao dismounted and helped everyone up, and made an agreement with everyone in three chapters: no killing, no plundering, and no **** women. Everyone was happy, running to tell each other, and the people of the village were convinced for a while. Li Mao temporarily requisitioned a small temple in Zhuangnei as the Chinese army, and as soon as he set up camp, Zhang Qi escorted Zhu Jiu to come. Shortly before that, Zhang Qi according to Li Mao's plan to lead the bow and arrow formation group to set up an ambush in the old turtle platform, Zhu Jiuzhong was defeated, although he escaped to death, but was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, because he was seriously injured, he did not return to the camp after climbing ashore, but went directly to the countryside to find a familiar Langzhong treatment, and when the Pei brothers were defeated outside Ye Shuodu Beizhuang, the village was expected to wish the nine great trend has gone, so they gathered a group of people to bundle Zhu Jiu to offer.

Halfway through, he happened to meet Zhang Xuan, who was searching for Zhu Jiu's whereabouts, and Zhang Xuanzheng rewarded Muramasa and brought Zhu Jiu back.

As soon as Zhu Jiu saw Li Mao, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Li Mao sneered: "Gather a crowd to make a rebellion, resulting in the tragic death of hundreds of innocent people, you still have the face to ask me to spare my life, and I pushed it out and beheaded it." Four wolf-like guards stepped forward to drag. Zhu Jiuda shouted: "I have rare treasures to dedicate to the general." Li Mao said: "A certain is not uncommon. Zhu Jiu was busy and said: "Chang Mucang is a genius in the world, and the general cannot be buried." Li Mao said slowly, and Mo Qi's divine power waved his hand to rebuke the guards.

Chang Mucang, a poor scholar, is hiding in the Beizhuang City God Temple with his wife and children, parents-in-law and sister-in-law at the moment. Qingmo knocked on the door, glanced at Chang Mucang, and scolded in his heart: "Zhu Jiu, this guy is really tired and crooked, this kind of goods will be a genius of the world?" Tsk, the wizard didn't dare to say, but this face was different. Qingmo coughed, raised his hand slightly, and said: "The right middle marquis of the Tang Dynasty Jin Wuwei is the Hou Chong Zi Qingjie Du Ya, the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy and the deputy envoy of the Gushan Town Town, and the deputy envoy of Cao, Yan and Pu Sanzhou, my brother Li Maohua, please come over the camp for a while." ”

Chang Kikura said calmly: "Please lead the way." ”

Li Mao was very interested in this strange-looking person, and immediately worshiped as the camp Confucius, Chang Mucang sighed silently, raised his hand to thank him, Li Mao sent Shi Xiong to the City God Temple to pick up Chang Mucang's family, and sent someone to lead Chang Mucang to see Zheng Xiaozhang. Qingmo asked puzzledly: "Do you really believe Zhu Jiu's words, if you look at this person's face, he doesn't look like a talented person." Mo Qi Shentong also interjected: "I worshipped him as a Confucian official, and he sighed, as if he was dissatisfied. ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "You remember, you can't just look at the face when you look at people, although Zhu Jiu doesn't know how to fight, he is not a fool, he shouldn't be bad at taking his life, and let Mr. Zheng observe for a while." ”

At this moment, the war has completely ended, and Li Mao has become even busier, cleaning up the battlefield and rectifying military discipline in the occupied areas is by no means a matter that can be taken lightly, and Li Mao must personally take care of it. Li Yu, Chen Wanchun, Ma Hedong, Zhang Qi and others saw that Li Mao attached so much importance to it, and they did not dare to slack off, and went to the front line to personally supervise. From the Pei Jiajun who died in the battle, Li Mao found at least 300 pieces of military armor, these armor are in good condition, but the surface is slightly old, most of the logos have been worn off, but there are still a small part of it clearly visible, Li Mao ordered this small part of the armor to be destroyed on the spot, claiming that it was damaged and could not be used.

Busy to the time of the lamp, the general trend has been decided, Li Mao returned to the Chinese military camp, at this moment the results and battle losses have not been counted, Li Mao saw the stitches, and put Pei Renyong and Pei Renjing brothers to the big tent, both of them were tied up by five flowers, Pei Renjing could not walk, and was dragged away by the two guards, Li Mao drank the guards to personally loosen the tie for the two, and ordered someone to move a chair to arrange Pei Renjing to sit down, and then comforted: "I heard that the Pei brothers are behind the gate, the leader of the local gentry, the leader of the township, has always been relied on by the locality, but why also gather people to make chaos against the imperial court?" ”

The Pei family brothers were imprisoned for a long time, and they were humiliated, and their arrogance was greatly damaged at this moment, seeing that Li Mao treated him politely, and the tone of the question was not aggressive, he suddenly felt that there was an opportunity.

Pei Renyong hurriedly got up and bowed: "There are endless floods and droughts in the township, and the neighbors are displaced. Instead of thinking about relief, the local government expropriated and extorted more money than in the past, forcing people to have no way out. ”

Li Mao sighed: "In the year of the catastrophe, hunger was everywhere, and there were thousands of people who were ruined and ruined. Now that the disaster year has passed, when the imperial court is benevolent, Yunzhou opens a warehouse for relief, and the local government raises good seeds to buy cattle to help farming, the people are calm, the people are at peace, and the displaced people return to their hometowns, wash away their sins and become good citizens again, what is your brother doing at this time? Now that the officers and soldiers are coming, how dare they raise troops to resist? ”

Pei Renyong bowed and pleaded guilty: "Those who make trouble, I am afraid that the government will add crimes, although I gather in the mountains and forests, I dare not harm people again, please the general to investigate." Now the two of us are captured by the general, and I am willing to accept all the sins, and I pray that the general will forgive the thousands of villagers in Xiaopu Mountain, they are all poor and helpless people, and they have no livelihood in the year of the catastrophe to settle up here to protect themselves, they cultivate their own land in the mountains, and have not done anything to hurt the heavens and reason. ”

Li Mao said with a dark face: "Gathering in the mountains and forests to fight against the government is a serious crime to exterminate the clan, even if I have the heart to forgive, but the laws of the court are strict...... Unless the two of you can serve the court and make atonements. ”

Both of them said: "Please give the general's orders, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up." ”

Li Mao praised it, helped Pei Renyong with both hands, handed him a letter he had prepared by himself, and said, "If I can go back and persuade Xiaopu Mountain to return to the imperial court, I will keep the two of you fine." ”

Pei Renjing was seriously injured and stayed in Ye Shuodu to recuperate, Pei Renyong changed into civilian clothes, had a full meal, and went to Tai Po Mountain overnight.

Qingmo was a little worried that Pei Renyong would not return if he left, Li Mao said: "He is a smart man, after this defeat, when he knows the strength of the official army, how dare he dare to make a big dream of separating the cottage and establishing himself as the king?" ”

Qingmo exclaimed: "Good girl, these two guys are not small, are you sure they want to establish themselves as kings?" ”

Li Mao said: "The king of the mountain is also a king, the sky doesn't care about the earth, he does his own thing, that is the king?" ”

Qingmo asked, "Brother Mao, when will we get a king to do it?" ”

Li Mao slapped him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "Don't mention the words of rebellion again." ”

Qingmo shrank his head and smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Tell you a good thing, Zhu Xiang promised to marry me." Li Mao smiled: "There are two moments, tell me what means you used to make her change her mind." Qingmo said: "Where, how can I have that ability, it's Zhu Jiu." Brother Mao, you said that this is not a coincidence, she is Zhu Jiu's own sister. ”

Zhu Xiang is Zhu Jiu's sister, this news Qingmo also only learned not long ago, Zhu Jiu was brought back by Zhang Shudu in Ye Shuodu Street Demonstration, someone quietly told Zhu Xiang the news, Zhu Xiang learned that his brother was captured, covered his face and cried for a while, so he begged someone to call Qingmo, begged Qingmo to help her intercede, and Qingmo went to find Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Zhu Jiu, the big fish, didn't have Brother Mao to speak, I didn't dare to kill or let go, you saw his sister and wanted to intercede for him, I have nothing to say, but whether you are allowed or not to have Brother Mao speak, I will show you here, I will neither let him run away, nor let the enemy kill him." ”

With Zhang Xuan's promise, Qingmo came to Li Mao to intercede, and wished Jiu to recommend Chang Mucang for merit, Li Mao had promised to temporarily exempt him from death, and he would make a decision after Ming Yunzhou was played.

Knowing that Zhu Xiang was Zhu Jiu's own sister, Li Mao was taken aback: "Zhu Jiu is so rough, there is such a delicate sister, are you sure that you are not mistaken?" ”

Qingmo said: "It's the sister of a fellow mother, it's true." ”

Li Mao cleared his throat and said: "Zhu Jiu recommended Chang Mucang for meritorious service, and I have exempted him from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the crime of gathering people to make trouble, as for what the crime is, he has to consult Yunzhou before it can be decided, naturally these have nothing to do with his sister." If she is willing to marry you, she will marry her one day. Qingmo came to see Li Mao to explain the purpose of this matter, Li Mao knew that he was in a good mood now, Qingmo didn't say anything, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and saw how he spoke.

Qingmo rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly, and after a long time, he said stubbornly: "Brother Mao, I have followed you since I hit Baoding County, I have been tired of saddle horses all these years, and there is no credit and hard work, for the sake of these feelings, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." It is...... That, she still has one condition, that is, it is ......"

Li Mao frowned, pretending to be displeased: "What is the manly husband like, what conditions, if you can agree, you can agree to her, what is not good to say between you and me, is it possible that I will not shirk your business?" If she opens her mouth wide and the conditions are too much, she doesn't agree, and there will be no grass at the end of the world. ”

"She wants you to let go of her brother Zhu Jiu." Qingmo's speech suddenly became unusually sharp.

Li Mao thought for a while, and asked Qingmo with a smile: "As a younger sister, in order to save my brother, I don't hesitate to commit myself to someone who doesn't like or even hates it a little, the story sounds very moving, but it's not like that when it comes to the body." Zhu Jiu's crime is not light, at worst it is a rebellion, and he wants to punish the nine clans, and at the worst it is a gathering of people to resist the officials and soldiers, and it is still a death. Zhu Xiang is his sister, and she has to be implicated. You have only known her for a few days, you haven't said a few words, you haven't held your hand, you don't know anything about her character, what kind of character she is, and naturally you can't talk about any feelings, it's better to let it go, and you can save a lot of trouble. Naturally, if you really can't give up in your heart, let's think of a way. Qingmo scratched his head and said, "Somehow, as soon as I saw her, I couldn't let go of my heart, and I was even more distraught when he cried, I also knew that this matter was tricky, but I ......"

Li Mao waved his hand and smiled: "Needless to say, I'll think of a way." ”

Ordered someone to bring Zhu Jiu here, although life and death are unpredictable, Zhu Jiu slept very soundly in the cell, in his words, his head fell off the big scar of the bowl, and all the tricks that could be used were used, Li Mao really wanted to kill him, and he could only lead the neck to be killed, in this case, it is better to have a good sleep while the head is still eating a full meal, and it is not in vain to toss this life.
