Chen Qun looked at General Li and nodded: "My lord, I'm a little tired!" The subordinates went back to rest first. By the way, Chen resigned in the morning and returned to his hometown, he was worried that the Taiping Road in his hometown would endanger his family, so he resigned, and I have approved it. ”

General Li blinked when he heard this: "Captain Chen, since you have approved this matter, forget it, but if you don't take it as an example, if every soldier leaves the camp because he is worried about his family, then once the war starts, how should the imperial court deal with it?" ”

Chen Qun bowed his head when he heard this: "I know it's wrong!" It's the subordinates who are not careful! ”

Seeing that Chen Qun was depressed, General Li smiled slightly: "Okay, Captain Chen, you go back to rest first!" I can't blame you entirely, after all, you are still young and have experienced few things, and after a long time, you will understand. ”

Chen Qun nodded and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you General Li for understanding his subordinates, and his subordinates will retire." ”

After Chen Qun left the camp of the Chinese army, he saw a lot of people squatting densely on the school ground, including men and women, old and young, many children were still sobbing, and many old people's eyes were gloomy.

Chen Qun walked past these people and couldn't help but think about what they would do with dinner. How will they survive tonight? Especially the more than ten children, Chen Qun didn't dare to carefully distinguish their faces, he was really worried that he would not be able to help but intercede for them.

Chen Qun didn't know how he walked past this group of people, he didn't know how he got out of the barracks, he only knew that after he got out of the barracks, he felt like a mang on his back, he felt that the hundreds of pairs of eyes behind him were staring at him, and he felt that his heart was tormented! Even if he is a human being in two lives, he can't stand this kind of torture!

Chen Qun quickly left the barracks as if he had fled, but he did not go back to the wine store to find Chen Ji, but came to Li's hometown inexplicably.

Li Bing'er saw that Chen Qun said so solemnly when he left in the morning, and thought that Chen Qun would not come back in a short time, but she didn't expect Chen Qun to come back again in the evening. Li Bing'er shouted excitedly after seeing Chen Qun: "Grandpa, grandpa, cousin is back." ”

Chen Qun smiled slightly after hearing Li Bing'er's shout, and then fell to the ground, he dimly heard Li Bing'er's shout, and then lost consciousness.

Chen Qun didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up, he happened to see Li Bing'er sitting beside him: "Cousin, you're awake!" That's great! What happened to you yesterday? When I went out, I was still in that spirit, but when I came back, I fainted at the door of my house. ”

Chen Qun felt that his whole body was weak, and he smiled slightly at Li Bing'er: "What about grandpa?" ”

"Grandpa is boiling medicine for you outside!" Li Bing'er said softly.

Chen Qun nodded when he heard this, and then grabbed Li Bing'er's little hand next to his head, and suddenly a comfortable feeling came: "Bing'er, your little hand is really comfortable to touch." ”

Li Bing'er was already blushing at this time, her right hand was placed next to Chen Qun's pillow, but she was suddenly grabbed by Chen Qun, she wanted to break free of her hand, but she felt soft all over her body, and she didn't have any strength, so she let Chen Qun grab her hand.

Although Chen Qun woke up, he was still tired, and the trauma of his soul could not be compensated for by sleeping, so Chen Qun fell asleep again as soon as he felt comfortable. Li Bing'er's hand was held by him all the time. Li Bing'er looked at Chen Qun, who soon fell asleep again, and smiled slightly, her face full of happiness.

After noon, Chen Qun woke up again, when he felt the softness in his hand, a spirit sat up, and then saw that he was holding Li Bing'er's hand and quickly let go, but found that Li Bing'er's hand had been grabbed out of his handprint, and then he hurriedly grabbed it and stroked it gently: "Bing'er, you are so stupid, why don't you break free!" Brother didn't scratch you in his sleep, did he? ”

Li Bing'er looked at the flustered Chen Qun and shook her head slightly: "It's okay brother, if you want to catch it, keep holding it, are you hungry?" You've been asleep for a long time, and if you don't eat again, you'll get sick. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, let's go eat together." Is there anything to eat with this? ”

Chen Qun thought that if he had been holding Li Bing'er's hand, where would Li Bing'er still have time to cook, so he asked like this, Li Bing'er nodded: "Grandpa has cooked for us." ”

After Li Bing'er finished speaking, he got up and brought out the food, Chen Qun also got off the kang and came to the table to sit down to eat, with the money given by Chen Qun, the food of Li's family has changed a lot, plus Chen Qun was sick, Li Lao specially bought meat for him to nourish, Chen Qun looked at Li Bing'er after he was full: "Bing'er, where is grandpa?" ”

Li Bing'er frowned when she heard this: "Grandpa is out!" Officers and soldiers came to arrest people, killed many people, and four families were killed nearby, saying that it was because of their belief in Taiping, and grandpa and the villagers went to collect their bodies. Cousin, I'm a little scared! ”

Chen Qun bowed his head and said nothing when he heard this, he recalled the scene when he walked out of the barracks again, and Chen Qun's mood instantly became depressed again.

Seeing that Chen Qun suddenly didn't speak again, Li Bing'er hurriedly asked with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Qun shook his head and was speechless, he felt that he couldn't just watch the families of those innocent Taiping Dao believers being implicated, he thought he should do something, but he had no money and no hands now, Chen Qun felt a little powerless.

Suddenly, Chen Qun thought of Jia Xu and his beggars, so he immediately got up and said to Li Bing'er: "Bing'er, you stay at home, don't go anywhere, I'll go out to do something." ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he turned around and left. Chen Qun went straight to the broken temple where Jia Xu was. After seeing Jia Xu, Chen Qun asked Jia Xu to retreat from the surrounding subordinates and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, junior brother has something to ask for." ”

Jia Xu looked at Chen Qun with a solemn look and smiled, "You don't want to save the families of those Taiping Dao believers, right?" ”

Chen Qun looked at Jia Xu in astonishment when he heard this: "Senior brother, how do you know?" No, what do you mean, brother? ”

Jia Xu sighed and said, "Alas! Senior brother, from the last time you came to me to inquire about Tang Zhou's news, I knew that there would be this day. Tang Zhou will inevitably betray the Taiping Dao, and the imperial court will inevitably slaughter the Taiping Dao believers, all of this is a matter of course, you don't have to blame yourself, since you chose to stand on the side of the imperial court, why bother to find yourself unhappy? If you sway from side to side like this, it will be very painful. ”

Chen Qun bowed his head when he heard this: "Senior brother, I can't see it as thoroughly as you!" I helped the imperial court deal with the Taiping Dao because I couldn't bear to watch the destruction of the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court was right to deal with the Taiping Dao, the mistake was too much! Their families are not wrong! Why should even their families be held accountable? ”

Jia Xu smiled when he heard this: "Senior brother, the master should have told you that you should use heavy codes in troubled times!" If the imperial court does not adopt heavy canons, how can it deter those Taiping believers who attempt to rebel? If the Jingshi is unstable, then the world is really going to be chaotic. ”

Chen Qun looked at Jia Xu's eyes and shook his head: "No! Senior brother, I don't care how you reason, you have to help me with this matter! I want to save those innocent families, and I can't watch them get involved. The imperial court's strength is limited, they can't capture all the Taiping Dao believers so quickly, we must rush ahead of the imperial army to rescue those innocent family members of the Taiping Dao believers. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu frowned and looked at Chen Qun: "Senior brother, why are you doing this?" You know that once we are discovered, the court will give us the hat of an adulterous thief, I can't afford it! I am responsible for my brothers and their families! Besides, the Taiping Dao people had caused so much harm to my brother before, and I couldn't order them to help the Taiping Dao people. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun got up and said, "Jia Wenhe, Senior Brother Jia, I really misjudged you!" You have disregarded the good in order to save your life. Okay, if you don't go to me, I can save as much as I can alone, even if I am found and lose my life! ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he got up angrily and left. Jia Xu shook his head and sighed softly: "Chen Changwen, who is filled with justice and narrow sense, if he doesn't know how to turn back, sooner or later he will die without a place to bury." ”

After Chen Qun got out of Jia Xu's broken temple, he instantly dispelled the idea of giving Jia Xu an imperial decree and went directly to the wine shop.

Chen Qun came to the wine shop, but did not see Chen Ji, and after asking Xiao Er, he learned that Chen Ji had not returned after going out in the morning.

Chen Qun didn't know where Chen Ji had gone, so he waited in Chen Ji's room.

After Chen Qun calmed down, thinking of the passive situation he was currently facing, he was even more eager to establish a force under his control: "I must establish a force under my control, and my fate must be decided by me!" Die for this feeling of helplessness! ”

Chen Qun thought that it would take a lot of money to build his own strength, and couldn't help but think of the idea he came up with a few days ago: to build a Shaolin Temple.

"Emperor Ling's support for the temple is very strong, and the people also believe in the gods, if I come to build the Shaolin Temple, and then rely on the Shaolin Temple to establish a power under my own control, it will be much easier to do some things in the future!" Chen Qun muttered.

Chen Qun couldn't help but worry about the funds after thinking of this, and thought that even if he had the money to build the Shaolin Temple, if there was no connection, the people would not go to pay homage.

"Huh! It seems that what I think is still too simple! It's so hard to make money in these troubled times! If you really can't do it, you can only follow the example of those big clans, farming and growing grain, and slowly accumulate strength. Chen Qun laughed at himself.

Shortly after dark, Chen Ji returned to the liquor store.

After Chen Qun saw Chen Ji, he hugged Chen Ji: "Dad, the child is really uncomfortable!" ”

Chen Ji gently patted Chen Qun's shoulder and said, "Changwen, dad understands!" But you have to bear it! ”

Chen Qun let go of Chen Ji when he heard this, Chen Ji looked at Chen Qun and smiled after lighting the candlestick: "What do you look like?" How old is you, still crying nose? Is it that uncomfortable? ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Dad, the child wants to save those innocent people." ”

Chen Ji looked at Chen Qun's serious appearance and shook his head slightly: "Changwen, you are still too young, you must not do that, now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that you are the hero who exposed the retrograde behavior of the Taiping Dao, if you do the opposite, then your previous efforts will be in vain." Listen to Daddy, don't do anything stupid! Otherwise, it's better for you to go back to Yingchuan with your father. ”

Chen Qun shook his head when he heard this: "Dad, I can't go back, your point of view is understood!" Don't worry, the child won't do stupid things, and the child will leave first if he has something. ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he saluted Chen Ji and turned to leave.

After Chen Qun left the wine shop, he walked down the street in disappointment, looking at the team of soldiers passing by from time to time, his heart was full of melancholy, and he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.
