Song Shi Chengzhong. After a few days of renovation, many of the damaged areas could not be repaired in a short period of time, but they were basically settled. The corpses, weapons and other items left behind after the battle under the city were also sorted out.

Originally, Zhang Heng meant it, but now there is no news from Yue Shaoan, and there is still spare time to take care of these. It was piled up and burned to the end. But Zhuo Yan felt that the soldiers died to besiege Song Shicheng, and if they were dealt with like this after death, it would be too unkind. Yu was uneasy, so he asked people to identify it, and displayed the corpses of the soldiers of Song Shicheng on a clearing on the slope of the hill in the middle of the city, which was actually not called a mountain, at best it was just a mixture of dirt and stone slightly larger than the mound.

However, this slope mountain is a beautiful scenery, although it is not as famous as some other scenic spots in the Song Dynasty, but it is also well-known. On weekdays, people come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, watch the flowers and enjoy the moon, however, this time they are in a heavy mood. There was not a smile on the faces of the people who came and went, and most of the people who used to come here were young men and women, but now most of them are old people and married women.

Zhuo Yan has already announced that the body will be parked here for two days for the family to come and identify. After two days, if no one comes to claim it, it will be burned en masse.

Of course, families who come to claim the body will receive a substantial amount of burial expenses. Song Shicheng is now scarred, and the economy in the city is also a little sluggish, but the inventory is not empty, and there is a lot of money with his grandfather Qian Wanguan and Zhuo Yan's father-in-law Sun Bowang, these two help to contact wealthy businessmen to raise funds, so Song Shicheng is not short of money. This may be the only place to be happy after the Great War.

At the pass of Poshan Mountain, a long row of tables lined up, and the officials in charge of household registration statistics inside the tables were sweating profusely, and the sound of turning paper "swish......s" rang incessantly.

In order to prevent someone from taking the corpse for money, Zhuo Yan specially sent officials from the Supervision Department to supervise the people, and if there was an impostor, he would directly rely on twenty, park on the stone platform in front of the mountain for a day, and put him in prison. originally thought that under the management of the Supervision Department, there should be no such impostor in Song Shicheng now, but the world is unpredictable. People die for money, birds die for food, this sentence is not wrong at all, in just one morning, there are more than a dozen people on the stone platform in front of the mountain who were beaten and screamed.

Naturally, the people will not have a good face for these guys who have made money from the dead, especially most of the families of the deceased who come here, and they are even more contemptuous of these people, not only do they not give sympathy, but some people even spit a few times when they pass by.

As a result, at ten o'clock in the middle of the day, no one dared to come and claim it again. After Zhuo Yan heard the report, he was relieved, no longer cared about this side of the matter, and turned to Wen Chengfang.

Now Wen Chengfang is also very busy, and he has been taking over the renovation of Song Shicheng, so of course he has to use him this time. Although Song Shi has not yet reached the point of being in ruins, it is still a little behind.

Wen Chengfang was busy directing the soldiers and hired people above the city at the moment, and he didn't have to do these things himself. But there are some confidential things that cannot be touched by others. For example, Song Shicheng's city fire firecracker is one of the secrets, when doing this, the manpower is separated, and the division of labor of each group of people is different, so that they will not learn too much information, and they are not afraid that the secret will be leaked, of course, if you want to get the best protection of the secret, only by killing those involved will be foolproof. However, Yue Shao'an Jue was not so thirsty for killing, and Wen Chengfang, as one of his right-hand men, naturally knew what kind of character Yue Shao'an was, in fact, someone had already made such a suggestion to him, but he was reprimanded.

"Alright, go and rest!" Finally busy, it's time for a replacement. Wen Chengfang waved his hand to stop the busy people, and he sat on the chair next to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. A glass of water on the ground beside him, he just put it to his lips, and suddenly felt that the earth seemed to be shaking, and glanced at the water glass, only to see that the water in the water cup was also shaking slightly, and there were slight ripples.

Wen Chengfang frowned, put down the water glass, stood up, and asked sideways, "What's wrong?" ”

Just asked, but before anyone could answer, there was chaos above the city, and someone shouted loudly: "Guard, guard...... There are enemy ......"

Wen Chengfang was startled, hurriedly came to the battlement, and looked into the distance, only to see a black press in the distance, all of them were people, as if they were coming from the distant sky. Looking at this posture, there are at least more than 50,000 people, and the speed of the comers is extremely fast, just now it was a black spot the size of a pea, and now you can see a figure clearly.

However, the distance is still too far to tell that it is the passer. After all, Wen Chengfang is a general who has been through a lot of storms, so he naturally will not be as flustered as the soldiers. He saw that the people above the city were panicked, his eyebrows were locked, and he shouted: "Don't panic, give orders, and the soldiers will perform their duties and obey orders." If anyone disobeys military orders, or misleads the public with fallacies and disturbs the morale of the army, he will be killed. ”

The quality of the soldiers in Song Shicheng is still extremely high, and the panic just now was only caused by a few of them, and there was no panic, and now that Wen Chengfang is famous for presiding over the overall situation, the military spirit will naturally stabilize quickly.

After everything was ready, Wen Cheng could send someone to find out what kind of army it was, and according to his calculations, it was Niu Ren who brought people back. It's just that, according to his calculations, Niu Ren shouldn't be able to come so quickly, and it should arrive tonight at the earliest, so he still doesn't dare to be careless. Just in case, he didn't go out of the city to greet him.

After a while, Tanma returned, and sure enough, Niu Ren returned. When Wen Chengfang heard the news, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhang Heng, Zhuo Yan and others, and he took the lead out of the city to greet Niu Ren.

I have to ask if Niu Ren took people back to the city, there was a burst of cheers above the city, and the difficulty of defending the city made these soldiers feel uneasy, although it had passed, but one by one did not dare to relax, until Niu Ren and they came back, and the safety hazards in the city were over. Their tense nerves can also be relaxed a little, how not to make people happy.

However, compared to the situation in the city, Niu Ren's morale is a little low, and all the soldiers are full of dust. After Niu Ren learned that Yue Shao'an had an accident, he moved forward at full speed, rushing day and night. However, there was a large number of infantry in the army, and even then he was a few days late. As soon as he saw Wen Chengfang, Niu Ren turned over and dismounted with a serious expression, hugged his fists, and said, "Wen Tong, Brother Yue, he ......."

Wen Chengfang originally returned the salute to Niu Ren with a smile, but when he asked this, the smile on his face suddenly froze. He opened his mouth, but did not speak. After a pause, he sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "General Niu, this is not the place to speak. Those who know about this have been strictly ordered not to leak it out. Let's go back to the city first and find a place to talk. ”

When Niu Ren heard him say this, his heart darkened, and he already understood the result, nodded, turned around and explained that Niu Qing led the team, and followed Wen Chengfang to take the lead in the city.

In the south of the front yard of the Song Mansion, there is a small courtyard, the small courtyard is decorated fresh and elegant, and it is settled here, so that people's hearts are unhappy and seem to be able to retreat in an instant. The hostess, however, had a bitter face, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she held a flower in her fingers, and with a little force, the flower was pulled down.

This woman is Gao Chong's wife, Li Qingqin. Gao Chong has not heard from him since that day, every day, she will stand here, thinking about what he used to do, crying once, it seems that her heart will feel better, however, after crying, her mood is even heavier.

Not far from here, there is another small courtyard of similar size, but the environment here is very different. Zhuo Yan is not as afraid of the interior as Gao Chong, after Sun Xiaomei got married, he did not change all the arrangements in the courtyard, and he was afraid that Zhuo Yan would not like it. In fact, Zhuo Yan is not an elegant person, the courtyard is empty, only a few small trees and a gazebo. There is a round table and a few square stools in the hall, and the furnishings are very simple.

At this time, Zhuo Yan dragged his tired body back home, and he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep for several days. After coming back, he didn't rest, but sat alone at the round table in a daze.

When Sun Xiaomei heard that the next person said that he had returned, she hurriedly found out, and looked at his tired face, and couldn't help but feel distressed. walked over slowly, and took the initiative to reach out and take his hand. Zhuo Yan looked at her and reluctantly smiled. Since Sun Xiaomei married him, she has not had the pampered habits of a rich daughter, and has taken care of his life meticulously. People's hearts are flesh and blood, even if Sun Xiaomei has done something terrible before, Zhuo Yan doesn't care about it. I can't be forcibly kissed by my wife before, so I'm afraid. Now he cherishes this wife very much, because, since his mother passed away, Sun Xiaomei is the best woman for him.

Zhuo Yan didn't want to bring it back to his wife, so he tried to pretend to be calm in front of her. But Sun Xiaomei understands everything. A team of spiritual eyes under one eyelid looked at him with tenderness, she felt very sorry for her husband, knew that he was miserable in his heart, and he was busy with official business all day long, and when she returned home, she was afraid that she would be worried, and she had to pretend to show herself.

How can a man carry so many things on his shoulders, Sun Xiaomei looked at her man quietly, and unconsciously her eyes were soaked with tears. When Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand and gently touched her, she realized. Hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve, smiled, and said, "Xianggong, since you have something in your heart, you might as well talk about Xiaomei." Xiaomei is your wife, so she should share some of it for you. ”

Zhuo Yan shook his head and said, "Nothing, Mr. Yue's business, you also know." Now I'm very worried about Mr. Yue, and nothing else. The things in the city are all trivial matters, and I have been used to all of them since Mr. Yue asked me to set up the Supervision Department. I know you feel sorry for me, but you don't have to, because I enjoy it, and it's very sad to let me sit at home and drink and sleep all day. ”

Sun Xiaomei nodded lightly, took his hand, and said, "Xianggong, Xiaomei understands and understands." It's just that sometimes when I think about it, I can't help but worry. I'm afraid that the person who Xianggong is worried about is not only the emperor, but also the noble general. ”

Zhuo Yan gritted his teeth, hummed lightly, his hands were clenched into fists, and his joints made a "......clucking" sound, then let go of his hand, nodded, and said, "Actually, Gao Chong already has news." ”

"Huh?" Sun Xiaomei was pleasantly surprised, and then saw Zhuo Yan look like this, but she knew that something must have happened, so she immediately asked, "So, is Xianggong ready to tell his sister-in-law?" ”

Zhuo Yan sighed lightly and said, "Gao Chong has now been caught by Yang Fan and has lost an arm, and his injuries are too serious, and it is unknown whether he can hold his life." Although there are people from our Supervision Department in Yang Fan's army, the core place cannot penetrate after all. So, I don't know exactly what the situation is now. Therefore, I thought it would be better to talk to my sister-in-law later. ”

"Xiaomei understands." Sun Xiaomeifu held her husband's hand again and said, "Don't worry too much, I think General Gao Chong should be safe." Sister-in-law, I'll talk about it. ”

Zhuo Yan looked at her, opened his mouth to prophesy, and then closed his mouth again.

Sun Xiaomei knew that Zhuo Yan was worried that after she told Li Qingqin, it might backfire, so she smiled again: "Don't worry, husband, Xiaomei knows what to say." I will give my sister-in-law hope in her heart, but I will not let her know the specific situation. Let me bear some of these things for the sake of the prime minister. By the way, is there any news from the emperor? ”

"The current news is still uncertain, and the news came back yesterday that Yang Fan had ordered the road to be blocked, and he also drew a shadow to arrest Mr. Yue. However, no one knew Mr. Yue's specific whereabouts, and even Yang Fan sent people to search around, but no one could see Mr. Yue. I suspect that Yang Fan is suspicious, let's turn our attention elsewhere, Mr. Yue may still be in his hands, judging from the situation that day, there is almost no possibility that Mr. Yue can take it out. Saying that, Zhuo Yan sighed again and said, "However, I can't do this accurately, so I can only send more people, and while looking for it everywhere, Yang Fan doesn't dare to let it go." Even if Mr. Yue is not in his hands, he has to find out Gao Chong's whereabouts since he was a child. ”

"Hmm!" Sun Xiaomei agreed and said, "I don't understand these either, what Xianggong said naturally makes sense." However, Xiaomei thought that the emperor was not an ordinary person after all, what others couldn't do, and he couldn't do it if he didn't see it, so Xianggong still shouldn't worry about it. ”

Zhuo Yan agreed, and then, feeling that he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he turned to say: "I want to build a cemetery in the city for the soldiers who died in battle." At that time, the Song Shicheng was still occupied by the King of Liang, and when we had just come down from the battle, Mr. Yue had said that in fact, these soldiers were the real heroes, but unfortunately many of them were buried on the spot after they died in battle, and they didn't even know their names. In the future, if there is a chance, they will build a cemetery in the city, so that future generations can pay their respects. Now that Mr. Yue is gone, I want to do it. When Mr. Yue returns, of course, he will be very pleased. ”

"Since Xianggong said so, it must be right." Sun Xiaomei said very obediently: "It's just, shouldn't this cemetery have a name?" If it's just called a cemetery, it doesn't seem to be very good. ”

"Name?" Zhuo Yan frowned slightly, and said, "I haven't thought about this yet." ”

"Xianggong is tired all day, how can these details be exhaustive. I did think of one, I don't know if I can. ”

"Oh?" Zhuo Yan was surprised and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Since the emperor said that they are the real heroes, then they are called the Hero Tomb, what does the prince think?"

Zhuo Yan thought about it carefully, nodded, and said, "Not bad." Very good! ”

"Your Excellency!" The two were talking, when suddenly a person in the distance saluted and shouted.

Zhuo Yan turned his head and saw that it was someone from the Supervision Department. whispered something to Sun Xiaomei, and Sun Xiaomei got up and returned to the house. Then, Zhuo Yan walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, please have a cultural system. It is said that General Niu Ren has returned. ”

"Oh?" Zhuo Yan raised his eyelids, thought for a while, and then said, "Lead the way." ”

The war horse had already been prepared and waited outside the door by someone to lead him, Zhuo Yan turned over his horse and went out.

Sun Xiaomei stood in front of the door, looking at his departing figure with a pair of eyes, and there was a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she did not come forward to say goodbye. Since marrying him, Song Shicheng has had one accident after another, and Zhuo Yan's days at home are extremely short, and the two don't even have the opportunity to make love. It is impossible to say that she has no regrets in her heart. However, before marrying him again, she had such an awareness, although she had some regrets, but she was also willing......-

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The cool breeze and the sun shone down, making the cold weather a little warmer. The sky in Xiaohe Village is unusually clear, as if it is not stained with dust, blue and deep.

Qin Susu sat quietly on the wooden stake in the room with his hand on his cheeks, quietly looking at Yue Shao'an who was lying on the bed.

Yue Shao'an's injuries recurred, the high fever did not go away, and now he is in a coma. Running away from his injuries without eating or drinking overnight has aggravated his injuries, and he has not felt how to hold on all this time. Even if he started with that Li Er yesterday, he didn't feel anything. However, lying in bed at night, once you relax, you can no longer support it. It became what it is now.

Qin Susu only went to see her mother in the morning, and her mother's condition had improved, so she asked her to go back to her mother-in-law's house quickly to avoid being scolded by her mother-in-law. If it had been before, she would have shirked and did not want to come back so early, but today, somehow, her mother didn't say it, she wanted to come back soon, and since her mother had spoken, it was even more in line with her heart, and immediately, she hurried back. Yue Shao'an had been suffering from a fever since the morning, so she stayed by his side like this and changed Yue Shao'an with a damp cloth. After changing, he sat down and looked at him like this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time. Sitting quietly like this doesn't seem boring at all.

Granny Han left home early in the morning, and she didn't know what to do, although she came back twice halfway and saw Qin Susu's appearance, she didn't pay attention to her. He put something down and walked away again.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the sky was getting a little darker, that Granny Han came back. Seeing that Qin Susu was still sitting on the edge of the bed, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Come and fry these herbs for him." If you look at him like this, can you take him well? ”

Qin Susu's face turned red, and he hurriedly got up and took the herbs.

After Granny Han cleaned it, she also came over and instructed her beside her how to decoct the medicine, and said this. Suddenly, Granny Han changed her words and said, "Susu, you must have complained about me in your heart in the past few years, right?" ”

When Qin Susu heard this, she was stunned suddenly, and then hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head vigorously, she couldn't speak, she could only express her thoughts in this way. However, when Granny Han looked at her like this, she sneered and said, "You don't have to deny it." Even if you complain about me, that's fine, in fact, sometimes, I also blame myself. ”

As she spoke, she looked up and seemed to be looking at the roof, but there was nothing in her eyes. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "You used to be very strict, not that I hated you as much as I told outsiders." After all, I don't have a relative until now, and after a few years of getting along, I have already regarded you as my daughter. Sometimes I'm a little harsh on you, but it's also for those people on the outside. I am also a woman, and I know the difficulties of women. You're widowed at such a young age, I really shouldn't stop you from remarrying. As she spoke, her voice was cold, and she said, "However, none of these men in the village are good things. If you marry them, it will not do you any good, so what are you doing by marrying him? ”

Qin Susu listened to her mother-in-law's words, and the whole person was stunned, stunned, not knowing what to do, just looking at her mother-in-law, not knowing what she meant.

Granny Han said, smiling a little self-deprecatingly, and said, "This little brother is very good." However, I don't think he is a small person like us, he should be a noble man in distress. Such a person, you don't see him well. However, if you can keep him, then I will not stop you. You can do it. I haven't been to see your mother for a long time, so I'll go see her and talk to her later. You won't be back tonight, you can figure it out for yourself......" she walked slowly towards the door.

Looking at the back of her mother-in-law who was gradually moving away, Qin Susu stood there for a long time, slowly turned her head, and suddenly a burning smell came into her nostrils, she suddenly remembered that she was still boiling medicine, and hurriedly took the medicine......
