Chapter 70: Mutation and Warmth

"My lord! Something is not good! The next morning, as usual, Zhao Xun, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, suddenly saw Situ Liang running in in a hurry, and the exit was like this.

Zhao Xun put down the spear in his hand, took the towel handed over by Zhao Qingshan, wiped a handful of sweat beads, and said with a smile: "I said Situ Liang, you came early in the morning to tell me bad news, but it will affect my appetite." ”

Situ Liang smiled bitterly: "My lord, this time it is really a little bad, we may not be able to carry out the attack on the last dock fort of Qi Yan." ”

Zhao Xun put away his smile and said, "Oh? What's the situation, let's talk about it in detail! I'd like to see what makes it impossible for us to do so. ”

Situ Liang said: "Just now, the Shadow Guard came with news that the stronghold of Qi Yan on the northeast side, Qingshan Town, has nearly a thousand strangers in the past few days, and they only enter but do not leave, and the Shadow Guard has checked that the people who went are not Han. ”

"What? Not Han Chinese? Could it be...... Qi Yan started to act? But why is there no news from several other strongholds, could it be that we have leaked the news? They are directed against us? ”

Situ Liang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "This, the subordinates are not very clear, the Shadow Guard is investigating." ”

"Aoyama!"

"My lord! What do you command? ”

"You immediately summon the news and let the people of the Blood Shadow Guard intervene in the investigation, they are killers, good at hiding, and see if they can get any news."

The Shadow Guard is the name of Zhao Hai's intelligence organization, while the Blood Shadow Guard is the name of Ye Chaoge's killer organization. Of course, in order to control the two organizations, it is planned that each guard will be divided into five divisions, and there are subordinates in the Shadow Guard who were originally Ye Chaoge's subordinates, and there are also people who Zhao Xun put in from the pro-guard team, and the same is true for the Blood Shadow Guard.

"It seems that something is really not good! Situ Liang immediately transferred money and grain from several places in the name of training troops. Except for a small part of the newly built Gushan Fort, the rest were transported here, and as for the people there, those who were willing to follow us were relocated to two places together, and those who were unwilling were not reluctant. The defensive buildings here will be strengthened immediately, the arrow towers will also be built, and the cliffs on both sides will also be built with platforms that are convenient for shooting, don't be afraid to spend money, what I want is as stable as a mountain. Zhao Xun said one after another.

Situ nodded his head and turned around to make arrangements. Zhao Xun then arranged for sentry to monitor the surrounding movements.

Waiting is the most painful thing, and for five days, Zhao Xun and several sentinels were sitting on pins and needles, silently waiting for the information to come.

"My lord! Qi Wen, the director of the First Division of the Blood Shadow Guard, has arrived! ”

"Let him in!" Zhao Xun secretly let out a sigh and hurriedly said.

"Subordinate Qi Wen, I've seen my lord!" Qi Wen, who was full of tiredness, first made a single lacquer kneeling salute to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun picked up Qi Wen and said, "You have worked hard all the way!" Look at you with a smile on your face, and you know that you must have gotten the news. ”

Qi Wen replied: "It took eight people with his subordinates for three days, and he finally got the news, it turned out that these people were all from the Ya Bolu tribe, and they were sent to the outpost to let Qi Yan operate here, and wait until the future to play a killer role." According to the detectives, these people are only part of them, and as for the rest, the subordinates have not been able to inquire where the Tao is. ”

Zhao Xun let go of the big stone hanging in his heart, as long as he didn't come at him.

"How are the brethren? Didn't have an accident with the hand? ”

Qi Wen's heart warmed, and he replied, "A few brothers are fine, but they are too tired. ”

"Well, you can go and rest! Qingshan, let the Huotou Army do something good for the brothers, and comfort them, they have reassured the hearts of hundreds of brothers. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

After Qi Wen left, Situ Liang said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not for us, but it's also a problem that needs to be solved urgently, keep them, sooner or later we will know that we did it, and when the time comes, we will have to face more than a thousand people." Uncle! These are all grassland tribes, who also grow crops such as millet, wheat, and grain, raise pigs and horses, make wine from rice, and use pigskin as clothing. But most of them still make a living by hunting with horned bows and arrows, and they are very brave. It's not a good thing to get on with us. ”

Li Lingfeng said angrily: "More than a thousand tribes who are not in harmony with my Yan country have entered the hinterland of Yanzhou Mansion, and no one cares about it, although it may be because the other party is careful, but this Yanzhou official is too ...... Alas......"

Situ Liang said disdainfully: "What? Brother Li, do you still have confidence in the officials in Yanzhou? Relying on them to solve the problem, then Yanzhou Mansion would have already fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

Li Lingfeng looked lonely and speechless, after all, he was also from the Youzhou border army, and it was really sad to see the current appearance of Yanzhou Mansion.

Seeing this, Situ Liang no longer stimulated Li Lingfeng, and instead asked Zhao, "My lord, what are we going to do?" ”

Zhao Xun thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing to do now, so I can only borrow strength." ”

"What do you mean, borrowing the government army?"

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Well, this can only be the case, one can eliminate these foreign races, and the other can also make the enemy focus on the government army." We must speed up the delivery of money and grain, and do our best to solve this hidden danger. ”

Three days passed in a flash, and Zhao Xun also quietly transported nearly 60,000 quintals of grain and nearly one million silver to Gushanbao and Shiping Village. In the past three days, the people near Yanzhou Mansion found that there was such an army, which was training all day long, and if it was not for advance notice, saying that it was training, almost all of them would have thought that it was going to be a war. As for the people of the various forces in Yanzhou Mansion, they have already seen Zhao Xun's habit of running around in training, and it is not surprising.

After finishing everything, Zhao Xun returned to his residence in Shiping Village.

"My lord! Mrs. Lan is here! As soon as he arrived at the door, the guard guard stationed there said.

"Mrs. Lan? Which Lady Lan? Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard this.

"Uh...... It's Miss Ruolan! The soldier thought for a moment before speaking.

Only then did Zhao Xun react, the so-called Mrs. Lan was Li Ruolan. Hearing that Li Ruolan was coming, Zhao Xun was overjoyed and walked in quickly. As soon as I entered the back house, I saw Hong'er, the girl next to Li Ruolan, busy cleaning.

"The young master is back!" Hong'er saw Zhao Xun coming in, and hurriedly gathered her clothes to give a salute. Because Zhao Xun is still young, and Zhao Xun's mother is also here, and she is still very young, so she is called the young master.

"Where's Lan'er?"

"Madame is in the back room!" After Hong'er finished speaking, she found that Zhao Xun was gone, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xun gently pushed open the door and found that Li Ruolan was bending down to tidy up her own futon, and Zhao Xun remembered that she was busy with things in the morning and did not fold the quilt. Looking at this beautiful woman who was busy for herself, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel warm.

"Hong'er, are you done? When you're done, help me tidy up your young master's room, forget it, I'll do it myself, you go and hand over the old hen we brought to the guard brothers at the door, let them help you kill it, except for the hair, take it to the kitchen on the side, I will make soup for the young master in a while, they have been busy for the past few days. ”

It may be that there is no movement for a long time, and the busy Li Ruolan turned around to take a look at what the little girl was doing, but she didn't expect that the person she thought about day and night was standing at the door, looking straight at herself.

"Yike...... Brother Zhao, why don't you speak when you come in! Li Ruolan's face suddenly changed from white jade to red apple.

Zhao Xun teased: "If I speak, how can we see that my beautiful Lan'er has also learned to serve people?" ”

Hearing Zhao Xun say this, Li Ruolan didn't get angry or refute, but when she got a cup of tea, handed it to Zhao Xun, and said with a red face: "Didn't I learn slowly, I used to be wild before, but now it's much better." ”

Hearing Li Ruolan's words, Zhao Xun put down the teacup, his heart was very moved, he didn't know what to say, a woman is willing to change her original character for herself, isn't this worth moving? Not worth loving? Not worth cherishing?

hugged Li Ruolan tightly, rubbed her cheeks against her hair, smelled the fragrance on her body, forgot all her troubles for a while, and just wanted to hug the woman in her arms.

"Lan'er, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance? After letting go of Li Ruolan, staring at the flushed, seductive face, Zhao Xun asked softly.

"I arrived at noon, I know you've been busy lately, so I don't want to cause trouble with you, so I didn't tell you." What do you think? Are things all settled? Li Ruolan asked softly.

Zhao Xun leaned back in the chair, and after letting out a sigh, he said lazily: "I have been busy for three days, and I am finally done, but I am tired and weak." ”

Looking at Zhao Xun's tired face, Li Ruolan felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly came behind Zhao Xun, gently placed her jade hand on his forehead, and slowly kneaded it.

"Hmmm! So comfortable! Who did you learn from? When will this be? Zhao Xun asked puzzledly, and under Li Ruolan's gentle pinch, the tired brain was soothed.

"I used to, but you didn't see it, these are what my mother taught me, what to say, as a girl, I will use it in the future, so I learned." Li Ruolan said with a smile.

Feeling the coolness of his mind and smelling the faint fragrance, Zhao Xun unconsciously relaxed his worries and burdens, his heart was as fresh and quiet as the sky, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

"How does it feel? Is it comfortable? I haven't pinched anyone yet, and I don't know how heavy it is. ”

"Very well, Lan'er! Thank you, I feel so much better now. ”

"Between you and me, what do you do to say thank you?"

"So happiness is so simple!" Zhao Xun suddenly felt so satisfied, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart, it was already a personal blessing to have a woman who cared about and loved him, and he already had two.

Suddenly, Zhao Xun felt that his head was leaning against a very soft place, and he felt very comfortable, so he rubbed it a few times.

"Hmm......" Li Ruolan suddenly felt a pang in her chest, and moaned unconsciously.

Hearing Li Ruolan's voice, Zhao Xun immediately understood what his head was testing, a hot current surged into his mind, Zhao Xun turned around and picked up Li Ruolan, walked quickly to the bed, and rolled down on the bed.

"Don't! Is it still afternoon? Li Ruolan, who was pressed under Zhao Xun and blushed, said in a trembling voice.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" And no one will come. After speaking, he leaned over and kissed Li Ruolan's cherry mouth, and poked the tip of his tongue over. His right hand also went down the hem of his clothes......

A strange voice came from inside the house, and the little girl Hong'er, who was busy in the courtyard, blushed with shame, didn't know what she was muttering.
