The mist is steaming, and the curtain is layered.

"Bell, light, grandma's pain is dead!"

Ye Yingwu's roar and the laughter of the bell were faintly heard, and nine times out of ten it was not a sincere apology: "Envoy, the slave didn't use force, it's obviously you who ・・・・・・"

"Where is there so much nonsense, let you take a drug, you almost hurt Lao Tzu to death!"

Qiqin, who was guarding outside, just silently flipped through the scroll in her hand, as if she didn't know the very imageless husband inside. And several servant girls around must have laughed and endured it very uncomfortable, and they all lowered their heads and shook their shoulders desperately.

It seemed that he couldn't stand Ye Yingwu's troubles for no reason, the bell rushed out sweating profusely, subconsciously sat on the chair next to him, gasping for breath, and after a while, he realized that he had lost his manners, and jumped up in a hurry, and said aggrievedly: "Lady, slave maid・・・・・・ slave maid obviously hasn't touched the bruised place, so that he ・・・・・・ him and shout that it hurts・・・・・・"

Qiqin smiled lightly and put down the scroll casually: "Bell, you take them all down." You see that you are sweating, how do you look like a big girl who is a dignified group training envoy? Let's go wash it too. ”

"But ・・・・・・ slave obeys." The bell blinked in surprise, and still took the maids around who couldn't help but laugh and retreated, the big girl is a big girl after all, and she always has her own shelf, so the bell didn't forget to reprimand twice, "What are you laughing at, go and wash all the clothes at home, do you hear it!" ”

Watching Yingying Yanyan walk away, Qiqin reached out and pulled off the jasper hairpin and put it aside, letting her waterfall-like hair fall down, and then lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Lang Jun?"

Before the words fell, a figure rushed out diagonally, and the two of them immediately rolled into a ball, and fell straight into the pool next to them that emitted billowing mist, setting off a splash. It was also accompanied by Ye Yingwu's hearty laughter and Qiqin's exclamation.

A few maidservants who hadn't figured out what was going on heard the sudden sound of water, and subconsciously wanted to look back, and the bell pinched her waist and said, "You guys, look at everything, wash your clothes, why are you so curious!" ”

Waiting for a few maids to walk away aggrievedly, the bell breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look back at the crowded bathroom, his face was naturally red. I didn't expect that the one who knew the most about the strange flower of the envoy was his own lady.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ye Yingwu was only wearing a thin layer of linen clothes, squinting his eyes and lying on the soft couch, facing the sun. Wisps of fresh breeze came in through the gaps, and it was extremely cool.

It's been raining for days, but today it's finally clear. And in the barracks, I fought with those gangs of men in the wind and rain for several days, and I didn't eat a few bites of hot rice, but my voice was hoarse, and I didn't know how to drink a lot of muddy water.

It's a pity that the body of people in this era has not gone through the test of all kinds of strange chemicals like later generations, and it has become invasive, coupled with the face-to-face singles with Jiang Hao's little rabbit cubs, Young Master Ye has a lot of bruises on his body, and he almost can't afford to get sick. In addition, Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fang thought that the commander of the first army should not throw himself into the barracks as a recruit all day long, so they came to ask for it for many days, and they didn't know which book to refer to after they got the big truth, plus Wen Tianxiang, as the senior brother of the real and false commanders of the gang, naturally had a unique majesty, and as a result, Jiang Hao and them knelt down in the dark and asked the commander to return to the city to rest.

To sum up, Young Master Ye had no choice but to say goodbye to those bright-eyed soldiers one by one, and in the allegiance shouted by the soldiers because they were so moved, he leisurely returned to the city to "deal with official business", temporarily ending the first stage of buying people's hearts. In terms of effect, the first phase was still very successful. The next step is to put on the iron armor and take the lead, thinking that no matter the past life or this life, at best, the second generation of the former rich and the second generation of the current official Ye Yuanjun who fought on the street said that the pressure was great.

"Lang Jun, drink some water." Kiqin handed over the teacup from the side. The beautiful woman who had just bathed was also dressed very thinly, but fortunately, after the backyard was cleaned up, all the servants were driven away, leaving only the maidservants, so Ye Yingwu didn't have to worry about his wife being taken advantage of for the time being. The wet black hair hung down on her shoulders, and the beauty was as plain as ever, but even without makeup looked pleasing to the eye.

Ye Yingwu stretched his waist, sniffed the faint fragrance that filled the sleeves of his outstretched clothes, and his eyes met the pair of eyes that were close at hand. Qiqin's eyes are flowing, it is really amorous, I have to say that since one day this Lin'an Oiran was corrected on the spot, the original Qiqin still had some out of place on the green has completely faded, and every smile has a unique demeanor.

It's just this simple look, Ye Lingjun's heart bloomed, and he thanked the previous Ye Yingwu for his two years of diligent paving, so that Lao Tzu had just crossed over and someone threw him into his arms, or a beautiful woman in the city who had not been seen in the later generations.

However, this beauty is far from having that competitive heart, and it is far from the unrestrained nature of the girls of later generations, and even some do not like to see the living, the greatest pleasure in the day is to read books, play the piano, and visit each other with the Wen family and the two wives of the Xie family. This also made Ye Yingwu not at home for several days, and he didn't have to worry about the green on his head.

"I finally stole half a day of leisure," Ye Yingwu sighed a lot ・・・・・・while drinking tea from seven hundred years ago. Tea, breeze, sunshine, and beautiful women, this is the standard of living that the second generation of officials in ancient times should have. His grandmother's Lao Tzu lived desperately for a month, and only a handful of days met the standard, which was really full of tears・・・・・・

Qiqin stretched out her hand to rub Ye Yingwu's shoulder, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before she said, "Lang Jun, should you marry a lady?" There is only one concubine in the family, and it is always ・・・・・・"

Ye Yingwu blinked in surprise, and immediately understood, he Ye Yingwu's eldest son, said that he could not be born by the concubine in the family, otherwise it would inevitably break out at that time a tragic dispute between the eldest son and the eldest son, you must know that hundreds of years later, Emperor Kangxi was famous, and finally the eldest son and the prince fought happily, and things became worse and worse, and finally developed into the Nine Dragons to seize the heir, during which the conspiracy and treachery were even more harmful, and the root cause was because the eldest son of the emperor was not born to the queen!

What's more, although Ye Yingwu definitely has to vigorously support polygamy by pulling out the fifth limb, but now that he is suddenly there, he always feels that something is not right.

Holding Qiqin's hand silently at the moment, Ye Yingwu smiled helplessly: "If that's the case, aren't you afraid of less pampering?" You must know that now the Great Song Dynasty is stormy, and the northern Tartars are arrogant, and I am afraid that I will spend more time outside than at home in the future, and I can take into account your time, I am afraid that it is・・・・・・ no matter what, in this middle and back house, giving birth to an heir is the most important thing. ”

Qiqin hung her head and was silent for a long time, before she smiled bitterly: "The concubine can't think so far anymore, she just wants to spend her life in this rare peaceful place in this world, as for giving birth to Langjun's bloodline, then it can only be resigned to fate・・・・・・"

"Don't say that, my father and mother are still waiting for the first grandson of the Ye family in Fuzhou." Ye Yingwu leaned into Qiqin's ear and whispered, when he mentioned his father, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to his real father and mother seven hundred years later, did he also want to miss himself like that? If they knew that their unsuccessful son would finally miss them one day, would they be moved?

Just when Ye Yuanjun felt a lot of emotion, although the footsteps in front of him were inaudible but absolutely not negligible, a maid ran quickly along the corridor, looking at the hurried appearance, needless to say, someone was looking for it, so frightened that Ye Yuanjun almost rolled off the couch.

Lao Tzu is a crow's mouth!

The maidservant didn't see Ye Yingwu's completely gloomy face, but just gasped and said, "Envoy, Lord Wen and Master Xie ask to see each other, saying that they have something important to report." ”

Ye Yingwu subconsciously raised his eyes to look at it, and muttered: "Is Lao Tzu having a grudge against this pavilion, no, no matter how much money it is, it will be demolished and rebuilt from another direction." I don't believe it, I finally came out to bask in the sun, and there was still such trouble! ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The fifth day of the fifth month of the second year of Xianchun.

On the north bank of the river, the boundary of Huangzhou.

After the rain of the previous few days, the weather has cleared, and the sun is blazing, scorching the road that has just become muddy and difficult to walk due to the continuous torrential rain. Even the celestial grass, which had been thriving under the moisture of the wind and rain, once again hung its head silently and wanted to shrink into the shadow of the partner next to her.

Hundreds of strong men in the costumes of the local people are advancing on the muddy road, with either simple knives that are only available in the army, or kitchen knives that are always available at home, and all kinds of blades are even more indecent.

"There is Dajiang in front, everyone work hard, otherwise the two brothers of the Zhang family will be in a hurry again!" The leading big man raised his arms to boost morale, "What do you say, we Qizhou heroes can't lose to them in Huangzhou, everyone has a share in cleaning up the Tartars, go!" ”

"That's it, we can't leave Qizhou behind!" Another strong man echoed the voice, and the strong men who were soon dying from the sun were encouraged by this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their feet involuntarily accelerated.

The noise can already be faintly heard, and it must be not far from the agreed place on the bank of the river. Through the layers of trees, you can see hundreds of fishing boats gathered together, covering half of the river in black.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde saw Ye Yingwu, who was not good-looking, striding over, and could only look at each other and smile bitterly, it seemed that the two of them could always break something every time they came together. After saluting, Wen Tianxiang took the lead in speaking:

"Qiyu envoy, the spies on the north shore have come to report that the local heroes in Qizhou and Huangzhou are gathering people and horses to form a righteous army, and it seems that they want to go north to help General Su Liuyi resist the Tartars."

Ye Yingwu was stunned, there is no such thing in history, is it because his research is not fine? At that moment, he had to frown and ask: "Who sent the spies on the north shore, and did you find out who is in charge?" Is the purpose really to help General Su? Also, do General Su and General Zhang know about this matter? ”

The two civil officials below who had no experience were stunned by Ye Yingwu's repeated questions, but fortunately, they still didn't dare to neglect these key details, and Xie Fang hurriedly reported at the moment:

"Envoy Qiyu, the patrol post on the north bank belongs to the commander of Jiang. According to the spies, the commander of the rebel army is the two local fishermen on the river, called Zhang Gui and Zhang Shun, but they are two brothers, several commanders have asked the local soldiers in the army, these two people are chivalrous and righteous on weekdays, and they are quite prestigious among the fishermen and even the local tyrants, and the parents of the Zhang brothers died in the war in Ezhou, and the northern Tartars are the revenge of killing their father and mother, presumably they should really help each other. As for General Su・・・・・・"

Wen Tianxiang saw that Xie Fang was a little stunned, and hurriedly took it: "General Su has already gone north to the border of Huangzhou, which is still far from here, and there have been no messengers to communicate with him for several days. And General Zhang has also been preparing warships and training soldiers, and the partial division docked in the lake near the left of Yongxing County has also pulled out of the village and headed north to meet General Zhang. Most of the rebels gathered by the Zhang brothers are fishermen, and I am afraid that if they want to take refuge, they should also take refuge in General Zhang. ”

Being chattered by the two for a long time, Ye Yingwu reached out and pressed his temples with faint swelling pain, but he didn't expect that with the change of the situation, not only did the northern Mongolian army become ready to move in advance, but even the Zhang brothers, who only jumped on the stage of history six years later and became famous in the process of rescuing Xiangyang, actually appeared in the second year of Xianchun, and it was not because of Xia Gui's recruitment, but because of the spontaneous behavior of the people.

For this kind of righteous army that is said to have no combat effectiveness, the Southern Song Dynasty court is not very welcome, but this does not mean that the Tianwu Army that Ye Yingwu has just formed is not welcome, not to mention that although Ye Yingwu does not know what is the difference between this righteous army and the three thousand decisive armies in history, but at least the Zhang brothers are rare generals.

Today's situation has become more and more complicated, which has also led to Su Liuyi having to lead the army north, and Zhang Shijie also had to personally sit in the main village of the water division located on the bank of the river, so Ye Yingwu's Tianwu army has been formed for several days, and this regimental training envoy has also been in office for several days, and he has not met with his eldest brother-in-law who is really unreliable in water warfare, let alone meeting with General Su, who has long been running north.

Obviously, three armies fought together, but now they have inexplicably become fighting on their own.

What are the consequences of fighting separately, even civil officials like Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde can figure it out, but the army is hastily created, and even bows and crossbows and arrows are not fully equipped, let alone crossing the river north to support Su Liuyi. What I can do every day is to sigh in the city to the northern sky, and only pray that God will have the virtue of a good life, so that I can delay a little longer.

The two civilian officials were a little overwhelmed by the current situation, and although they were a little disdainful of this righteous army that had just gathered and was considered to be a little powerful, they also knew that if they could annex it, ah no, if they were absorbed, it would greatly enhance the combat power of the Tianwu Army.

"In this way, this official will take the back of the Tianwu Army to personally cross the river and go north to meet this Zhang brother for a while." Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "In addition, the rest of the three compartments can't be idle, they will all be pulled to the edge of the river, occupy various important places, dig trenches along the river, bury the deer, and at the same time order Ma Tingyou and Guo Chang, if the grain and grass, battle armor, bows and crossbows, and arrows cannot be supplied in time, the military law will serve!" ”

Wen Tianxiang was shocked and hurriedly stood up: "Envoy, by all means, the envoy is the banner of the entire Tianwu Army, if the envoy himself goes north, in case ・・・・・・"

As if these words were automatically filtered out, Ye Yingwu didn't look at Wen Tianxiang, and walked straight between the two civil officials, and walked to the front of the hall: "Yang Bao, roll over to Lao Tzu, prepare the horse, Lao Tzu go and see if the Tianwu Army can fight!" ”

Wen Tianxiang jumped to his feet in anger from behind, and finally Xie Fang patted him on the shoulder helplessly, and then stretched out his hand to help him straighten his crooked hat, and said with a wry smile: "Song Rui, why bother, let's go and supervise Ma Tingyou and Guo Chang, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to watch the two of them being served by military law at that time." ”

At this moment, Ye Yingwu, who had already instructed the housekeeper standing on one side to do all kinds of affairs, and walked out of the door in three steps and two steps, turned around and added: "Song Rui, Jun Zhi, one of you has written a letter for this official and sent it to General Zhang's naval camp, just say that Ye Yingwu will visit in the next few days, hurry!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and wanted to say something, but Yang Bao's voice and the neighing of horses were already heard outside. Now this sudden rebel army is like a new extra weight on the scales that have been balanced for too long, if it is used well, the balance of victory will fall in its favor, and if it is not used well, it will drag down one's side.

Now it is up to us to see the means of the commanders on both sides. Thinking that Ye Yingwu's opponent was the long-famous Ah Shu, the two always felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Ye Yingwu, who had already disappeared outside the door, suddenly turned back again, and still didn't pay attention to Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde, who didn't know why, and walked directly to the backyard.

Seeing this gloomy envoy striding back with a solemn face, even the big maid bell didn't dare to ask, so he could only hurriedly follow closely behind with a few maids. And Ye Yingwu didn't mean to give any orders, just walked along the corridor he had just walked to the octagonal pavilion.

Qiqin had put on her coat, still holding a book in her hand, the breeze was blowing through her hair and clothes, and the sun was shining on the fragrant clothes and fair skin. Seeing that Ye Yingwu went and returned so quickly, Qiqin snorted lightly and hurriedly stood up, but was directly embraced by the man full of masculinity who was coming to her.

Ye Yingwu had already thought of a thousand words the moment he entered the backyard, just like when he apologized to his girlfriend who didn't know how many times he did in his previous life, he confessed affectionately, but at this moment, he was speechless and choked.

Already realizing something, instead of struggling, Qiqin hugged Ye Yingwu tightly and said softly, "Want to go?" Where to go? ”

After being silent for a long time, Ye Yingwu said helplessly: "Go north to cross the river, there is a rebel army・・・・・・ well!" ”

Qiqin kissed Ye Yingwu on the lips.

The girl's lips were cold and trembling. The same cold tears slid down the cheeks of the two men clinging to each other.

With a "pop" of lips, Ye Yingwu blinked helplessly: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back completely." When the time comes, it's better to forget that it's the same as today! ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu seemed to be unable to bear to wait any longer, broke free from the girl's gradually loosened arm, and then forcibly resisted his desire to stay and strode away.

Seeing Ye Yingwu leave, Qiqin took the handkerchief handed over by the bell next to her, and was silent for a long time, before she sighed softly, and a smile hung on the corner of her lips.

"Lady, what's wrong with you?" Ling Bell asked in surprise, this is not the style of his own lady on weekdays, when has his own lady been so active? And I've never seen her cherish that person so much.

Qiqin smiled helplessly: "It may be that the WTO is too deep." ”

"That lady, you really ・・・・・・" The bell dispersed the people, and then leaned over to Qiqin's side and whispered, although he didn't finish speaking, but the two of them understood what they wanted to express after that, and the atmosphere in the small octagonal pavilion couldn't help but be a little stagnant.

"I used to hate him, but where to find a persistent Lang Jun?" Qiqin said softly, she had already lifted the layers of curtains casually, the sun was shining, outlining a beautiful back, and the bells she looked at were slightly distracted, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

No matter what, her own lady is beautiful and breathtaking, and she is really blessed.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Huangzhou, on the bank of the river.

Hundreds of fishing boats are quietly moored in the sun.

Under the shade of the trees on the shore, two young men, one carrying a worn-out simple knife, the other holding a harpoon, stood side by side on a large rock, under the stone or stood or sat gathered hundreds of heroes, and many more people came out from all directions of the woods, and also carried a thousand strange blades in their hands.

"The two brothers of the Zhang family, all the people we can call from Huangzhou and Qizhou are here, and thousands of heroes are left behind at home, so tell me how to act!" A young man dressed as a fisherman could not hold back when he saw that the people around him were almost coming, so he jumped up and shouted loudly.

Naturally, there was a chorus of voices all around.

It is estimated that it is almost time to touch someone, Zhang Gui, the elder brother of the two brothers of the Zhang family, held the handle of the knife upside down with his hand and arched his hand in all directions, and soon this small shade of the tree quieted down, Zhang Gui nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted loudly:

"You are not only begging for food on the river, but also from the ground, but in any case, you are all local heroes in this Qi and Huang Prefectures, and I am very honored to be able to give me Zhang Gui this face today. Now that the Mongolian Tartars have reached the border of our Huangzhou, if it weren't for General Su Liuyi's resolute northward encampment and confronting those dog Tartars, I'm afraid our two states would have been poisoned a long time ago. ”

"Brother Zhang, you don't need to talk about this, what are the Tartars like, we don't know what these people who sell horses and eat and drink on the border, and what the guards of Huangzhou look like, I think everyone here is also clear. If it weren't for the support of Xiangyang, the imperial court would have left us alone. But even so, we can't let such a good land be wasted by those dogs and tartars! In this way, let's not say anything else, these silver taels and dozens of horses have been handed over to the Zhang family's elder brother, and we won't fight or anything, everything is under the orders of the two Zhang families. A horse dealer in a hat pointed to the Mongolian horses deep in the woods, smug.

The Ma Gang, who is not very conspicuous on weekdays, was the first to jump out to express his position, and the fishermen of Dajiang, who had been obedient to the two brothers of the Zhang family, naturally couldn't sit still, and a strong man in the lead stood up quickly, and his voice was loud:

"Fucking can't just let this horse dealer be here to show his might, we have so many good sons on the river, can we lose to them? The two brothers of the Zhang family are righteous and cloudy, and they should lead us and those dog tartars to divide the victory and defeat! ”
