Seven days later, Huanglong Cottage returned to a peaceful state, except for Xu Renjie, who led the troops to Luochuan, the other leaders began to live the same life as before, get up in the morning, first play a set of boxing activities to move their bodies, and then go to Zhang Yingxian's private house to learn to read and write, and the rest of the time is either to practice soldiers, or to exercise martial arts.

The supplies stolen from the officers and soldiers began to be distributed.

First of all, the battle armor, because many generals who killed officers and soldiers in this battle, they grabbed several pairs of Wenshan armor, Wang Er, Desperate Saburo, Miao Mei, Poodle and others were all assigned a set. Although these armors fell into their hands, they could not be worn directly, and they had to be recolored first, otherwise it would not be cost-effective to be killed by their own soldiers in the scuffle.

In addition, there were hundreds of sets of mandarin duck battle jackets taken from the officers and soldiers' camps and soldiers who died in battle, and they also needed to be dyed from red to purple.

Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers that the last time he dyed the mandarin duck jacket was arranged by Zhang Yingxian and Qiu Ye, but now that Qiu Ye is pregnant, all the work can only be handed over to Zhang Yingxian alone. This lady can endure much hardship than when she first came up to the mountain, and as soon as she said that the job would be handed over to her, she agreed without saying a word.

She first gathered the women of the mountains and sent them into the mountains to pick fruits that could be used for dyeing, and then boiled dye, washed and soaked the mandarin duck jackets, and sewed up the damaged parts of these jackets...... One thing after another, but there is no confusion. And while doing these things, she can also take care of the housework at home, laundry and cook for Zhu Yuanzhang, clean the cave, and do everything well.

"Brother Zhu, sister-in-law is really capable now!" Wang Er couldn't help but smile in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Think about the taste of cooking a pot of porridge last time, and compare it with now, it's really the difference between heaven and earth." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "She is not stupid, she didn't know how to do housework before, just because she couldn't pull it off, and she didn't want to learn to do it." Now that you have put down your figure, you will naturally be able to do it in order. ”

"So, my mother-in-law is the stupid kind?" Wang Er said helplessly: "She doesn't have any problems with face and figure, she is just blindly rude, she always can't do housework well, she drops a bowl today, smashes a basin tomorrow, if she can learn from her sister-in-law, I have to wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

"Hah!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Isn't it good that she can help you fight?" Don't ask too much, a woman like Yingshanhong is also commendable. That's right...... What happened to the stab wound of my brother and sister? ”

Wang Er spread his hands: "It's only been seven days, it's still early to heal from the injury, and now I'm lying on the bed at home and can't move...... But I'm surprised, she obviously hurts all over her body when she moves, why can she keep scolding? I watched her lying on the bed and kept scolding, and her mouth never stopped...... It's been seven days, and she's still scolding Zou Yi's ancestors for eighteen generations...... Aren't you tired of scolding? Brother Zhu, you know everything, teach me what to do about this? ”

"This ......" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, even a former emperor can't get a woman to scold the street, this matter, Brother Wang, you should still carry it by yourself.

"By the way, Yingshanhong has fallen, who is doing your housework?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a whim and asked casually.

"Old man Li's daughter!" Wang Er said with a smile: "I gave some of the fifty catties of millet that I got for this meritorious deed to Old Man Li, and he asked her daughter Li Sanmei to help me with housework and take care of Xiaohong until Xiaohong can get up." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sighed in his heart: No wonder Yingshanhong wants to scold the street, she is afraid that she not only wants to scold Zou Yi, but also wants to scold some other people, but it is not good to scold it in front of Li Sanmei, and she is forced to point at Sang and scold Huai, which is really embarrassing for her.

Just thinking of this, I saw Li Sanmei running over from a distance. This girl is pitifully thin, her whole body adds up to less than eighty pounds, and she can float up to the sky when the wind blows, which shows that her family is full of poverty, probably has not eaten a few full meals, although her face is delicate and pure, but it can also be described as thin and malnourished......

When she arrived, she greeted Zhu Yuanzhang first, and then said to Wang Er: "Second brother Wang...... Just now, Yingshanhong's sister-in-law said that she wanted to eat wild boar, and asked me to send you a message, go into the mountain to fight wild boar! ”

Wang Er's head suddenly became two big: "She thought that the boar was standing at the door of the cottage and waiting for me to fight?" That thing can't be hit if you want to! ”

"Huh? Can't hit it? Li Sanmei's face showed disappointment, and she muttered in a low voice: "People still think ...... You can dip in the blessing of your sister-in-law and eat two bites of meat...... At least I can mix the soup......"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

Wang Er: "......"

The scene was embarrassing, and suddenly, a sentry ran over and said loudly: "Brother Zhu, there are more than 50 men coming to the mountain gate, saying that they are here to join the gang, this group of people has a strong expression, moves their feet quickly, and looks a little promising, please take a look." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, raised his fingers and counted the time, and then smiled: "It turns out ...... It's him back! Calculating the time, he should have come back from Xi'an at this time. ”

"Huh? Who is it? Wang Er was curious.

"Just check it out!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Let's go, let's go together." ”

Wang Er was very interested, and hurriedly followed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Sanmei actually followed uninvited, seemingly trying to persuade Wang Er to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

The three of them came to the gate of the cottage together, only to see that the archers on the sentry tower of the gate actually pulled out their bows and aimed outside, looking a little nervous. From this small detail, it can be seen that the people outside the gate are not simple characters, otherwise they would not be so vigilant.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked out from the doorway, and there was a group of men standing outside the door, about fifty people, all of whom looked fierce and had resolute eyes. At first glance, they are good at fighting, the key is that they face the bow and arrow drawn by the archers on the wall, although their expressions are calm, this is not a good hand at "fighting", it must be a good hand at "fighting".

What is even more rare is that this group is very well armed, all of them are equipped with waist knives, and carry a spear with an iron tip in their hands, and a bow on their backs, twenty arrows stuck in their quivers, and a long package wrapped around their waists, which seem to be carrying gold and silver soft things.

With such an equipment match, it is not an ordinary soldier, in the Ming Dynasty, only the soldiers of the military attachés can be armed to such an extent. It is impossible for an average soldier to be so well equipped.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, it seems that he was not wrong, the person who came was the one he wanted to come! Thousands of households Yang Hong! This group of people should be Yang Hong's family soldiers. However, the strange thing is that Yang Hong did not walk in front of this group of men, otherwise, Yang Hong can be regarded as an old friend of Huanglong Cottage, if he shows his face, the archers on the sentry tower will not be nervous.

Zhu Yuanzhang first signaled his subordinates to open the gate of the wall, and then stood in the middle of the gate and asked the men outside, "Who is coming?" ”

"Brother Zhu!" When that group of men encircled and suppressed Huanglong Mountain last time, they had seen Zhu Ba, so they recognized him as soon as they saw him. Fifty men hugged their fists in unison: "We are the soldiers of Yang Hong, the general of Xi'an Qianhu, and we have come to join you with General Yang." ”

"What about Yang Hongren?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"...... in the back" two strong men walked to the front with the decadent Yang Hong, and when they saw Yang Hong's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, only to see that his face was full of haggardness, his eyes were blank, his hair was messy, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't sorted out his appearance. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyelids lifted up slightly, and then fell again, and said weakly: "Is it Brother Zhu?" We will advise you...... I escaped death...... Hey...... It's a pity ......" At this point he didn't say anything, drooping his head and hanging on the shoulders of his men like a dead man.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed even deeper, he glanced to the side with inquiring eyes, and a family soldier understood, approached Zhu Yuanzhang's ear, bit his ear and said: "The general went back to Xi'an to save his wife, but unfortunately the success was lost, and Wu Fu's people killed his wife in front of the general...... He's ...... now. hasn't come out of the grief yet, and he looks a little undignified, so he asked Brother Zhu Haihan to ......"

I see, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, when he lobbied Yang Hong to join the cottage, he heard Yang Hong talk about his wife, and he carefully looked at his eyes (note: Chapter 213 Donglin Party's secret letter), and at that time he could see that Yang Hong did not hate that lady as much as he said...... This guy knew that it was a dead end, and he didn't join the cottage immediately, so he had to go back, it turned out to be for this reason......

Zhu Yuanzhang does not hate lovers, especially for his wife, it is a man's responsibility.

The last queen of the bigfoot horse passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang was grief-stricken, like a sword that lost its scabbard that bound the edge, and since then he has turned into a demon, killing people like hemp, bleeding like a river, leaving a murderous name in history.

I hope Yang Hong won't follow in my footsteps! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed silently in his heart: Time will smooth out everything, I'll give him some time.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said, "Someone, go and call Li Chujiu to come, and arrange a place for Yang Hong and his soldiers to live first......

"Yes!" A sentry took the order.

The family soldier who had whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang just now took two steps back and said again: "Eighth brother Zhu...... The villain has a reluctant request...... You have also seen the current appearance of the general, our group of big-headed soldiers can kill people, but it is really impossible to take care of people, this way from Xi'an, make him a ghost and not a ghost, do you have a maid there, seconded one to take care of the general's diet and daily life......"

"I don't have a maid." Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him and said: "Everyone in the village is a brother, there is no master, and there is no subordinate...... The housework in my family is done by my wife, where to find a maid for him. ”

"This ......" that Ding Bing was a little embarrassed.

"Still, it's okay to hire someone to help with your money." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If someone is willing to collect some silver to take care of Yang Hong, I will not stop it, I think you will also bring the silver up the mountain, and you will not come empty-handed." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, Li Sanmei, who was hiding behind Wang Er, came out, pointed to her nose and said, "I...... Hire me...... I'm good at taking care of people, and now I'm taking care of the wife of the second eldest brother Wang, and it's no problem to take care of this eldest brother at the same time...... Remuneration...... Just give me five pieces of silver a month...... Oh, four bucks is fine......"
