Red sleeves said to Dong Ce again: "Husband, I didn't tell you in advance, is it a concubine?"

"It's okay, you have the final say in the affairs of the inner house." Dong Ce waved his hand, glanced at Yang Liushi again, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"That day, the concubine saw Yang Liu's husband beating him to death, this orphan and widow, I am afraid that it will be a lot more difficult to make a living in the future, although the lord you gave silver, but it is not a long-term plan after all. The concubine couldn't bear it, so she told her to come here after finishing the trivial things at home, and take the monthly money every month to support the family. And the people of the Su family lost face that day, I am afraid that they will not give up, she is doing things in our house, and the Su family will not dare to make another incident. ”

Red Sleeves explained to Dong Ce. Then he turned to the Yang Liu clan and asked, "The people of the Su family didn't come to the door to look for trouble again, did they?" ”

Yang Liu was full of gratitude: "No, they have all gone to other homes, but they have never come to my house, thank you master, thank you madam." ”

"It's good that I haven't been there." Red Sleeves smiled gently: "But in the future, don't call yourself me, if you want to say that I am either a concubine or a slave...... Got it? ”

"Yes, I ...... Slave, slave knows. Yang Liu's face turned red, and he said Ai Ai.

Dong Ce felt that something was wrong, this concubine was clearly a concubine or a wife's humble title, and as for the slave, it was even more awkward to listen to. And he was also a little uneasy, after all, there were a lot of secrets in the house, and this Yang Liu clan didn't know if he could trust it.

Red Sleeves seemed to know his intentions, so he ordered the eldest girl and the second girl to come over, and asked them to lead the Yang Liu family to settle down in the wing room first, the house for her was repaired a long time ago, and it was in the east wing, and the eldest girl and the second girl lived next door.

Then the red sleeves pulled Dong Ce into the house, and then said with a smile: "Husband, don't worry, I taught this Yang Liu clan to be obedient, and I didn't dare to fight the slightest ghost idea." ”

She grunted and laughed: "Master, let her come to the house, but do good deeds, besides, it just so happens that there is one less maid in our house who serves closely, right?" ”

I don't know whether intentionally or not, she bit the words "close" and "waiting" very hard, but Dong Ce didn't pay attention to it.

…………

Towards evening, a group of cavalry rushed into the gate of Hongji Fort.

Some pedestrians at the gate hurriedly got out of the way, and many of them knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed, and did not dare to stand up until the group of knights had left the distance.

There were about thirteen or fourteen knights in this team, and they were all fine Mongolian war horses, all of them fat and strong, shiny and shiny, and at a glance they knew that they were carefully selected and carefully fed. The knights on the horses are also quite strong, no matter how tall or short, they are all burly, and they look quite powerful. They were all wearing green cloth iron armor, but no one wore bright helmets, and they all had double plugs hanging from their waists, waist knives, and weapons and armor were also very sophisticated, obviously the elite of the army. On the ground of Xuanda, most of the people who can have such equipment are characters such as family members.

And that's exactly what happened.

They talked and laughed loudly, spread far and wide, and joked with each other, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Obviously, they didn't come back from a war in such an atmosphere.

In fact, they had just returned from hunting, as evidenced by the prey hanging from the saddle of their horses. Most of them are small beasts such as hares and badgers, and the prey is still dripping blood.

Among them, a burly man was surrounded by everyone, and there were more prey on horseback.

Everyone else was a small beast, but on his horse, there was the corpse of a fierce beast.

This beast is very similar in appearance to a cat, but it is much larger than a cat, and if you count the tail, it is more than four feet long, and even if you don't count the tail, it is close to three and a half feet long. The body is very stout, with slender limbs, and a very short and thick tail that looks like a rolling pin, and the tip of the tail is a blunt round. Looking at this body shape, I am afraid that the weight must be fifty or sixty pounds, which is about the same as a leopard.

It is a beautiful reddish-brown overall, with a yellowish-white belly and dark stripes and dots on its body. The fur on his body was long and dense, with four large paws hanging down, and a layer of fluffy white animal hair was covered with it.

The most distinctive and striking thing is that on the tips of its two erect ears, each grows a long tuft of dark bush hair, nearly two inches long, and this tuft of hair still stands upright. And there are a few white hairs mixed in it, which looks very much like the feathers on the helmet of the generals, adding a bit of majestic momentum.

This thing is the lynx, which is the famous lynx in later generations.

The lynx had no wounds on its back, but it had seven or eight terrible wounds on its abdomen, and blood was dripping from its mouth, nose, and wounds, and it was already dead.

It can be seen that these people's hunting skills are also very good, because only the abdomen is damaged, while the most beautiful and valuable back fur of the lynx can be preserved intact, so the value is basically preserved. Whether it's for your own use or selling for money, it's cost-effective.

In addition to the lynx, the man had some other gifts on his horse, and he was obviously very expensive.

This man was about thirty years old, strictly speaking, a young man, and he was at his most energetic in his life. He was tall, with long hands and feet, very burly and strong, with a short beard, two sword eyebrows, and a heroic face.

He wore a dark copper-colored mountain armor, a huge heart guard on his chest, and two copper tiger heads the size of adult palms at the navel of his waist were extremely powerful and extremely hideous. Inside, he wore a cyan arrow suit, and his arms and wrists were tightened, which made him look particularly capable.

This person is naturally Bai Tianfu, the garrison of Hongci Fort.

The compliments of the surrounding family members are nothing more than saying that he beat this lynx, how mighty and powerful, although these words are heard by an ear, and these are all martial artists, and they can't say anything new, but Bai Tianfu is still very comfortable in his heart. Because he knows that the words of his subordinates are sincere.

He stroked his beard gently, with a self-contained smile on his face, and sat on the horse looking left and right, very proud.

In this era of cold weapons, fierce beasts are not very easy to deal with, such as Wu Song's fight against tigers, which appear in the novel wild words, but in reality, if not impossible, at least it is difficult to appear. According to later surveys of zoologists and zookeepers, these professionals believed that legends such as Wu Song's fight against the tiger were pure fiction, and they also believed that in the absence of hot weapons such as shotguns, it was impossible to defeat the tiger with human power, and even with cold weapons such as swords, its survival rate was almost zero.

Unless a certain amount of manpower is used, the use of powerful long weapons can be effective.

For example, Tiger Gun.

The lynx is naturally not as fierce as the tiger, but although it is smaller, it is more agile, extremely fast, and comes and goes like electricity. Even if you can't beat someone, at least if you want to run, it's hard to catch up. In fact, it is true, Bai Tianfu took the family out yesterday, and in half an afternoon, he also hunted a lot of prey, but there were not a few weighty, Bai Tianfu was naturally very unwilling, so he took the family to stay in the wild overnight. Fortunately, he likes to hunt and often goes out, so he has everything he needs with him, and it is not a big deal to spend the night in the barren mountains and mountains.

As a result, this morning, when a family member got up to dig ice and cook, he found this lynx on the side of the mountain stream, and this lynx was still very fierce, and when he saw people, he was not afraid, but pounced on him and wanted to bite him to death. That Ding man was naturally not an opponent, although he resisted hard, he still scratched his claws, and suddenly half of his body was red, dripping with blood, and the skin and flesh were tumbling very terrifying. Fortunately, it alarmed the others, and they came out of the tent one after another, and the lynx was also a thief and a thief, and when he saw a lot of people, he wanted to escape, but he shot Bai Tianfu in the stomach with an arrow, and Rao also escaped for it.

Bai Tianfu was unwilling, led people to chase, fortunately the lynx was injured and affected its speed, and left bloodstains, Bai Tianfu led people to chase for half an hour and finally caught up, and was killed by a random arrow.

Although he was tired and half dead, he was happy.

Bai Tianfu and others went all the way from the city gate to the garrison mansion, and this Hongci Fort was a lot more popular than when Dong Ce and others came last year.

Hongci Fort Castle is surrounded by four miles and thirty-two steps, which is the largest of the seven big castles under the jurisdiction of the entire Hebei North Road, more than half of the second-level Zhenbian Fort and Zhenchuan Fort, and more than twice as large as the Zhenhe Fort where Liu Ruozai is stationed. As for the Zhenqiang Fort City, to which Dong Ce belongs, it is only one mile and seven minutes around, which is only one-tenth the size of Hongci Fort City.

But a few months ago, after being ravaged by Jiannu, the largest fortress city under the northern Hebei Province was in ruins. Jiannu broke through the fortress, plundered and ravaged, burned and killed adultery, and when they withdrew, another fire burned the city to a white ground.

When Dong Ce came, what he saw was a scorched earth, full of broken walls, except for the outer circle of city walls, the houses inside were basically in ruins, and it was difficult to see a complete one. And inside the ruins, there were charred corpses curled up in a ball of burnt burnt corpses.

The 500 military households brought by Bai Tianfu were next to the street, leaning on the ruins and shacks. And all the people, both men and women, are yellow and thin-skinned, with vegetables on their faces, and their bodies are weak.

But now, it has completely changed, and there are many more houses on both sides of the street, although they are basically adobe houses, and they are also built low and simple, but at least they mean that the people here can afford to build shelters. To say that Hongci Fort can be restored to this way, it is still the credit of Liu Ruozai, he regards Bai Tianfu as the second object worthy of support in addition to Dong Ce, and even has to take care of him more than Xie Dingkun, the general manager of Zhenhe Fort. In these days, 500 military households have been moved from other boundaries one after another, so that there are now 1,000 military households in Hongci Fort, close to 5,000 people.
