The shadows of the trees swayed, and from time to time blood flew out, several figures suddenly fell, and more people were running and fighting, "Kill him!" Tian Biao quickly brought someone over, just in front, I saw him! Tian Leopard waved the steel knife in his hand, and collided violently with the person opposite, and several people around him followed closely, but the forest was already dense, and the other party fled very fast, so he was already a little detached from the people behind him.

"Thank you for saving your life." Li Huai touched the back of his head, looked at the woman beside him, the other party was still holding the knife in his hand, "If you die, I will also be in trouble, and those few people will not let me go." Hu Erniang's eyes were always on the city of Mingzhou in the distance, where tens of thousands of people were glued, the balloon in the sky had floated far away, and the explosion had stopped......

Li Huai nodded, looking at Hu Erniang's eyes were also a little complicated, her husband died in his own hands, and in the subsequent conflict, it was also because of common interests, the two became companions, opposite the two, Tian Leopard had already rushed over, a pair of eyes staring at Li Huai, "Leave him, it may be useful in the future." Li Huai said lightly, Hu Erniang beside him rushed out, and he was still standing in place, the dark clouds in the sky didn't know when they began to gather, and the black smoke rising from Mingzhou City rose into the sky, as if heaven and earth were one.

The old man swayed his body on crutches and walked towards the hillside, in the sad forest behind him, the team that rushed over, there was no movement at this moment, the last glimmer of hope in the old man's heart also completely dissipated, his face couldn't help but show a trace of amazement, in the forest as far as his eyes could see, the figure of the young man appeared there, the two looked at each other from afar, and could faintly see that the young man was gesturing something in this direction, the old man smiled slightly, looked back and saw the number of horses under the city of Mingzhou coming out of the crowd and running farther away, The old man could naturally tell that it was Tian Hu and his personal guards, "The concubine is not enough to conspire with him." ”

Under the dark clouds, on the dirt slope, an old man named Qin Mu closed his eyes and fell to the ground......

"What are you looking at?" Hu Erniang walked behind the young man.

"I'm looking at a poor old man." Li Huai shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"What were you just gesturing with?" Hu Erniang suddenly asked, she remembered that the other party raised his arm towards the old man in the distance, stretched out a finger on his clenched fist, looking quite imposing, Li Huai smiled and said nothing, he also thought of it suddenly just now, and now that he thinks about it, it is really detrimental to his tall image......

At the end of July, the war under the city of Mingzhou finally burned to the end, Tian Hu fled by himself, leaving his tens of thousands of people to the other party, the dragons had no leader, they were all a group of rabble, or died, or captured, or escaped, it was difficult to count, the northwest Tian Huliu retreated into the deep mountains, Li Huai had no intention of chasing it again, so he stopped and began to sort out the boundaries of Mingzhou after the war, and the report sent to the imperial court was delayed for more than ten days......

A heavy rain washed the ground of Mingzhou City, in the small alleys in the north of the city, almost every house was hung with white cloth, this is a sign that someone in the family died in the war, the rain will be soaked with white cloth, someone holding an umbrella from under the white cloth walked, occasionally the rain wet clothes, a pair of boots have been soaked.

"Erniang? Erniang? ”

With a few soft calls, the door opened a crack, revealing a delicate face, "Why are you here?" ”

"Let you go to the government, why don't you go? Childe asked me to take a look, saying that I must let you come over. The man who spoke, with a faint smile on his face, hesitated for a moment, "My man is dead, it's inconvenient to go out, shopkeeper Sun, please go back, I understand the kindness." ”

Shopkeeper Sun was not surprised, seeing that the other party was about to close the door, he hurriedly stepped forward, "It's not for yourself, but also for your women's army, they follow you to birth and die, there are not many people who can live, you always have to find a way out for them, Gongzi is not only an official, but also a businessman, I don't want to be an official, and I can ask for some money......"

Before he finished speaking, the other party had already closed the door. Shopkeeper Sun stood at the door, looked up at the white cloth hanging on the door, sighed, just about to turn around, but heard the sound of the woman pushing the door, seeing each other in the rain, the other party has cleaned up, although the body is a plain clothes, but it has its own charm, Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shopkeeper Sun?" The woman shouted, "Not leaving?" The other party smiled, and the two walked into the rain one after the other, and walked towards the yamen in the distance......

Mingzhou Mansion City in the rain, experienced a war, you can see the broken eaves everywhere, although there are not ten rooms and nine empty, but defend the city for three days, the young and strong in the city also died most of them, the city is almost every family wearing filial piety, every household has mourning, after Li Huai entered the city, he has been staying in the palace, Hong Ji once again showed the ability to operate commercially, the next half of the shops in the city, as for the one that can still run is to help, and also established several workshops in the city, recruiting labor in the city, and restoring everything in the city as quickly as possible.

"If you do this, are you a bit of an arbitrary power, and the court has not yet decreed it, so you do it, and you are not afraid of their impeachment?" In the lobby of the mansion, Yang Zhizheng and Li Huai sat together, "In the end, I am still a businessman, this time Hong Ji has done so much, he can't get nothing, you think too much, they just want to impeach, and they also want to know what I did, and when they report to Beijing, and then have the will to come back, it will take more than half a month soon, and when they figure it out, it is estimated that they will not change anything." Li Huai said as he drank the tea in his hand.

Yang Zhi shook his head, and didn't say anything more, and after a while, footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, "My lord, I brought the people." Shopkeeper Sun saluted Li Huai, in his eyes, the other party was a big man in the internal guard, so he naturally wanted to call it so, and the woman behind him was just about to salute, but Li Huai laughed, "Old Sun, let you call me son, why do you call me an adult?" ”

"Sun Erniang, a folk woman, has seen a son." Li Huai looked at the woman who saluted opposite, "Look at people." ”

Laughter suddenly came from the room, "Sun Erniang, I want to ask you to do something, are you willing?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked up at the shopkeeper Sun beside her, looked again, and looked at Li Huai in front of her, both of them had smiles on their faces, "I ......"

"It's not for you to be an official, just to be a steward, and your women's army will also come with you and give you money every month." Li Huai explained, and the woman opposite became more and more confused, thinking about the identity of the other party......

For talents who have special performance in the defense of the city, Li Huai is trying his best to recruit, of course, not to give official positions, but to absorb into Hong Ji, or to take charge, or to worship, and do not care about the identity of the other party, or the rivers and lakes are reckless, or ordinary people, not picky, in his words, these are the real heritage and wealth of Hong Ji.
