(Recommended reading: One day later, in the evening, Wanhuatang.

Wanhuatang is a famous green building in Yangzhou, located on the bank of the small Qinhuai River, whenever the lanterns are on at the beginning of the day, here is crowded with people, boiling and surging, a lively scene.

After nightfall, Li Hongyu entered the Wanhua Hall surrounded by the guards, and he had already set up a private room and was ready to wait for Yang Li'er's arrival inside.

Li Hongyu has a hunch, that is, Yang Li'er will definitely come to the appointment, because Yang Li'er is now lonely and helpless, and there seems to be no other help except him.

Of course, Yang Li'er can also ask the third prince for help, but Li Hongyu doesn't think that the third prince will betray the family and dare to disobey his father's will to help Yang Li'er, obviously this is not in the interests of the salt merchants, so how can the third son's father support Yang Xiaotian who is in prison.

While sipping wine, Li Hongyu enjoyed the performance of the song and dance girls, dancers from the Western Regions, Eastern geisha and Korean prostitutes, etc., as long as there is enough silver, you can enjoy the customs of exotic beauties.

What appeared in front of Li Hongyu was a group of scantily clad dancers from the Western Regions, dancing belly dance, and the cheerful music made the atmosphere of the scene very relaxed.

There are two young and charming beauties sitting next to Li Hongyu on the left and right, smiling and serving him, Li Hongyu is not polite, hugging left and right to enjoy the blessings of all people: since he comes to this kind of place for recreation, Li Hongyu naturally has to come up with the style of a gentleman, otherwise it will be incompatible with the atmosphere here.

As time passed, the night gradually became darker, but Yang Li'er never appeared, and Li Hongyu was not in a hurry to wait patiently, after all, Yang Li'er can be said to be a soldier now, so it is normal for her to be cautious and late.

Just as Li Hongyu was enjoying the wonderful performance of those dancers from the Western Regions with great interest, a figure appeared at the door and stumbled in.

"Brother Yang!" Li Hongyu looked up and was taken aback, and hurriedly walked up to support Yang Li'er, who was a little shaky, only to see that Yang Li'er, who was dressed as a man, was pale, and her forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, looking very painful.

"I'm injured and being chased." Yang Li'er couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu found that her chest seemed to be injured, and her clothes had been dyed a lot red.

"Come with me." Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, knowing that something must have happened to Yang Li'er, so he reached out to stop her waist and walked towards the door.

"These are for you, this son has left beforehand." Walking to the door, Li Hongyu remembered something, and asked a guard to give him two silver tickets of one hundred taels that he had just held the two charming young women.

"Don't worry, the slave family knows how to do it." The two women smiled at Li Hongyu after accepting the money, obviously Li Hongyu didn't want people to know about Yang Li'er's appearance here.

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and walked away quickly with Yang Li'er's waist in his arms, he now very much wanted to know how Yang Li'er was injured, but unfortunately he didn't have this time.

"Quick, room by room for the official to search carefully, you can't let go of one, that female prisoner is injured and can't run far."

Li Hongyu supported Yang Li'er just out of the attic, a large group of soldiers rushed in, and one of the military attaches in the lead waved the knife in his hand and shouted.

"Li Gongzi, you go first, leave me alone." Yang Li'er's face changed suddenly when she saw this, she knew that she couldn't run, so she reached out to push Li Hongyu, so as not to affect him.

"My son is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, how can he sit idly by?"

Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't be pushed away by Yang Li'er, smiled at her and walked to the backyard with her, the backyard has independent courtyards, only distinguished guests with enough identity can book those small courtyards, and foreign merchants like Li Hongyu can't use those courtyards no matter how rich they are.

Yang Li'er pushed Li Hongyu but couldn't push it, so she had to follow Li Hongyu away, but she felt a sense of relief in her heart, she was really afraid that Li Hongyu would leave her behind.

"This military master, we are in trouble and want to avoid it inside, hoping that the military master will raise his noble hand.

”

Entering the backyard, Li Hongyu came to a small courtyard where four soldiers wearing front placket uniforms stood in front of the door, smiled and asked the guards to take out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and handed it to one of the burly soldiers, and said with a smile, "A little heart, let the brothers buy a glass of wine to drink." ”

"Take them both in!" The burly soldier glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, tucked it into his trouser pocket, and then said to a soldier next to him.

"Thank you, Master Jun." Li Hongyu thanked him again and again, and helped Yang Li'er to walk inside.

"You can't go in." The guards who followed Li Hongyu also wanted to enter, but were stopped by the burly soldiers.

Li Hongyu nodded to the guards when he heard this, and one of the guards handed the medicine box he was carrying to Li Hongyu and led everyone away, this medicine box was specially promoted by Li Hongyu in the new army, and he also let the guards carry it with him, and he could also give first aid in case of an accident.

Li Hongyu carried the medicine box on his back, and helped Yang Li'er to follow the soldier into the small courtyard, which was not large, in addition to a main house for recreation, there were two wings in the east and west, which were specially used for people to rest.

At this time, the hall of the main house was very lively, and the soldiers led Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er into a room in the east wing, pushed open the door and said, "You live here, don't make trouble, otherwise the gods won't be able to save you!" ”

After speaking, the soldier walked away, leaving only Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er.

The furnishings in the room were simple, except for a bed, a table and a washbasin for washing, and it seemed that only high-ranking servants were qualified to live in this kind of private room.

"You take off your clothes, I'll go get a pot of hot water."

Li Hongyu helped Yang Li'er to the bedside, gave her an order, and then went out, and when he came back, he carried a copper kettle full of hot water.

"Why don't you take off your clothes?" Yang Li'er didn't mean to take off her clothes, she sat on the bed and looked at the window in a daze, as if she was thinking about something, so Li Hongyu asked.

Yang Li'er came back to her senses, looked at Li Hongyu and grabbed her neckline with some embarrassment, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and the place where she was injured was too inconvenient for Li Hongyu to see.

"Don't worry too much, I'm a doctor, you're a patient, I'll treat you, that's all." Li Hongyu knew that Yang Li'er was embarrassed, so he opened the medicine box and said, "If you want to save your parents and brother, heal the injuries as soon as possible!" ”

Yang Li'er couldn't help biting her lip when she heard this, then took off her shirt with her heart crossed, closed her eyes tightly, and sat on the edge of the bed with her upper body on, her cheeks flushed with shame.

"It's quite interesting!" After Li Hongyu prepared the drugs and instruments for treatment, he turned around and saw the career line on Yang Li'er's chest, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't pay attention when he was wrapped in clothes before, how could it be that Yang Li'er's figure was ********, very sexy and hot.

Then, Li Hongyu shook his head, stabilized his mind, and wiped the wound on Yang Li'er's chest with a hot towel.

Yang Li'er had already poured some gold sore medicine on it, but Li Hongyu wanted to stitch up the wound so that it could heal faster, so he cleaned the wound with potion, and the pain made Yang Li'er's teeth tight, and her body kept trembling.

Li Hongyu looked very helpless, he didn't want Yang Li'er to suffer such pain, but the current medical conditions can only do this, only when the wound is cleaned up and healed, the scar will be reduced as much as possible.

After Li Hongyu sewed up Yang Li'er's wound, Yang Li'er couldn't hold on any longer, and fell into Li Hongyu's arms with her head tilted and weak, her body was drenched in sweat and her face was pale.

Seeing this, Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel pity, wiped the sweat on Yang Li'er with a towel, and then fed Yang Li'er a bowl of decoction, and Yang Li'er fell asleep groggily.

"Alas!" Looking at Yang Li'er with a haggard face, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh, Yang Li'er's current experience is completely due to him.

But this kind of thing is not under his control, so he shook his head and packed up the medicine box and left, during which the soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion and the soldiers of Yangzhou Wei searched Wanhuatang inside and out, and did not find any trace of Yang Li'er.

Of course, these small courtyards in the backyard have not been searched, and the people who can feast in the small courtyard are all well-known figures in the Yangzhou market, and their reputation is undoubtedly guaranteed, and they will definitely not harbor the suspects suspected of assassinating Lord Qincha.

As for the small courtyard that Li Hongyu entered, the soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion and the soldiers of Yangzhou Wei would not search it, because it was Chai Shixiu, the general of the New Army, who was entertaining in it, and they came here to search after they were full, and it was obvious that the New Army would never let Yang Li'er go, and the place where the New Army was located was absolutely safe.

However, they never imagined that it was the errand soldiers of Yangzhou Mansion and the soldiers of Yangzhou Guard who were most at ease that Yang Li'er was hiding.

"Your Excellency!" When Li Hongyu entered the lively hall, Chai Shixiu and other military attachés who were staggered there stood up to greet him, and at this time, the people in the courtyard had been driven away, and those who were left behind were all from the new army.

"How is Yangzhou?" Li Hongyu sat down on the first seat and asked everyone present with a smile.

"Blossoming flowers, beautiful as heaven!" A military attache laughed when he heard this, and said loudly, the people here are basically northerners, and it is the first time to come to this prosperous and rich world of flowers.

"If we hadn't fought bloodily on the frontier, everything here would have been nothing more than a flash in the pan, and it would be difficult to last."

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and then said, "In time, our children and grandchildren will be able to live this kind of prosperous life." ”

"My lord, these days, those magistrates have changed their methods to take everyone to have fun, and everyone knows that you want us to take the opportunity to entertain us before going to the northwest."

Chai Shixiu smiled and said to Li Hongyu seriously, "My lord, don't worry, everyone will never be obsessed with life here, and when they arrive at the Northwest Battlefield, they will definitely fight to kill the enemy!" ”

"Yes, we won't embarrass adults!" The rest of the military attachés said loudly when they heard this, and they seemed excited for a while.

According to military discipline, it is very difficult for the officers and men of the New Army to leave the barracks on weekdays, let alone attend such a banquet, and it was Li Hongyu who acquiesced in this matter and tactfully asked the local forces to "care" about the New Army, so that the officers and men of the New Army opened their eyes and feasted on it.

For example, with the spending power of the soldiers of the new army, they will definitely not be able to come to Wanhuatang, which spends a lot of money, even Chai Shixiu can't afford it, but everything they play here this time is free, and someone will settle the bill for them.

Obviously, those who checked out the bill didn't want to slap them up, but wanted to make friends with Li Hongyu, Lord Qincha, through them.

"This is wrong, you have to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and you have to enjoy life." Li Hongyu immediately laughed when he heard this, and announced in a loud voice, "This official has decided to open industries under the jurisdiction of the Customs Department, and it is more reassuring that some industries are still in charge of their own people, and the families of the officers of the New Army will be hired first, and the Customs Department will take care of their future lives." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Chai Shixiu and the others were stunned at first when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Hongyu to thank him, Li Hongyu's move was undoubtedly to avoid their worries.

"Come, come, come, let's drink."

Li Hongyu smiled, beckoned Chai Shixiu and others to drink, everyone was staggered, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy, and it did not become embarrassed and cramped because of Li Hongyu's arrival, it seems that Li Hongyu has a very close relationship with everyone, both a boss and a brother.

As a matter of fact, Li Hongyu has long wanted to set up corresponding enterprises through the Customs Department and concentrate superior forces to develop the economy, so that the resettlement of officers' families can also be solved, so that officers can fight outside the country with peace of mind, and at the same time, it can also inspire soldiers to fight for officers.
