When Li Lu called "cousin-in-law" again, Wu Shigong immediately stopped Li Lu's disgusting snort.

Now, as long as it is a person, it can be seen that Li Lu has something to ask Wu Shigong. However, Wu Shigong still asked Li Lu to make it clear first: did he become Li Lu's cousin-in-law at such a time?

But Li Lu counted Wu Shigong with his fingers, and Wu Shigong was surprised to find that he was indeed Li Lu's cousin-in-law. That Li Lu is a relative of the British duke. And Wu Shigong's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, is the sister of the British duke.

So when it comes to Zuihou, Wu Shigong's youngest wife Xue Yufei is Li Lu's cousin. Although this cousin is no longer a cousin of 30,000 miles, but 30,000 miles. However, you can't say that Xue Yufei is not Li Lu's cousin. It stands to reason that Wu Shigong is of course Li Lu's cousin-in-law.

Wu Shigong sighed very much: This noble family, this kinship is entangled, and I don't know when an inexplicable relative will pop up.

Now that he already knows that he is indeed related to Li Lu, Wu Shigong has no choice. He angrily asked Li Lu what was there to trouble him?

When Li Lu said his thoughts in a hesitant manner, Wu Shigong suddenly realized: "It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, the heads of robbers and rebels could be exchanged for military merits and silver rewards from the imperial court. Wu Shigong suddenly felt that his intestines were a little remorseful, and he gave up the heads of the forty or so robbers to Old Man Zhao Ming in vain.

But there is no place to buy regret medicine. However, those heads in front of him can't be let go. So, Wu Shigong wanted to open his mouth to refuse Li Lu's request.

However, as soon as he wanted to speak, he thought of another question: "After Wu Shigong gets the head now, his military exploits will definitely be handed over to the Ministry of War, and Zuihou will definitely be handed over to Emperor Chongzhen." ”

"If Emperor Chongzhen passes so-so, then forget it. But if Emperor Chongzhen was interested and asked who Wu Shigong was? That's the big deal. ”

"If Emperor Chongzhen knew that Wu Shigong was the son-in-law of Xue Lian, the backbone of the Wei Party; If Emperor Chongzhen knew that although Wu Shigong was only an acting Qianhu and did not have many troops in his hands, he still had some troops; If Emperor Chongzhen knew that Wu Shigong was still very brave and warlike. What will he do? ”

"There is no doubt that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely promote Wu Shigong, and then transfer him back to the capital, place him in a vacant position, and guard Wu Shigong tightly."

Then, if Wu Shigong wants these heads to exchange for military merits, it will be completely stealing chickens and rice. Could it be that Wu Shigong went to great lengths to get out of the capital and worked hard for more than half a year in the thousands of households in Guide to get such a result?

And in this process, Wu Shigong gave heavy gifts, and the great eunuchs Wang Chengen and Gonggong Qin beside Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not help Wu Shigong explain and conceal it. At that time, Wu Shigong gave heavy gifts to the two of them, and the request he put forward was also to let the two of them not mention themselves in front of Emperor Chongzhen, the purpose was also to prevent this from happening.

Therefore, the current Wu Shigong must not be able to make military merits. At least, you can't take the main credit. However, it is not good for these heads to be given to Li Lu for nothing. Wu Shigong rolled his eyes and had an idea.

Wu Shigong said to Li Lu: "Since the two of us are relatives, there are some things to say." These heads, the brother can give you, but the brother also raises soldiers very hard. ”

When Li Lu heard Wu Shigong's words, he was immediately overjoyed. It's the same old saying: a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Li Lu hurriedly said: "My cousin-in-law is working hard to raise soldiers, as a cousin, of course I want to mean it." After going back this time, how about my cousin immediately send eight hundred taels of silver? Li Lu saw that Wu Shigong was silent, so he immediately increased: "Then one thousand taels." ”

"Deal."

Hearing that an agreement had been reached, Li Lu smiled. At this moment, Wu Shigong said to Li Lu again: "Li Shoubei, brother still has a word to advise you." ”

"You say, you say." Li Lu hurriedly replied.

"Then when you see the women of the good family, can I trouble you to tie your trouser belt tightly? It's been twice. It's my brother who wipes your ass every time. ”

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Li Lu was embarrassed, so he had to nod.

Shumo was originally a lively person, and he was also an inquiring character. He had already found out the real reason why Li Lu fled to this county from the mouths of Li Lu's own soldiers. Of course, Shumo had already told his young master all this.

After knowing this, Wu Shigong and the others analyzed the reason why the Holy Spirit would attack this county seat. Wu Shigong: Of course, they didn't know that the Holy Spirit would attack Guide because of the empty defense of Guide Mansion.

Wu Shigong and the others all thought that the most likely reason why the Holy Spirit would attack this county town was that the good family that Li Lu was playing must be the wife of a certain leader of the Holy Spirit Society. That's why the Holy Spirit Society followed Li Lu's escape route so relentlessly to attack this county seat. Of course, when Wu Shigong and them analyzed, they definitely avoided Li Lu.

That's why just now, Wu Shigong said such unkind words to Li Lu.

Wu Shigong didn't know that in Li Lu's heart, the reasons he analyzed were exactly the same as those analyzed by Wu Shigong.

At this moment, the soldiers and strong men on the city wall suddenly let out a deafening cheer. It turned out that after the Qi County Commander learned that Wu Shigong and they repelled the first attack of the rebels, he led the gentry in the county town to comfort the strong men who were defending the city.

But Wu Shigong was a little puzzled by this sudden cheer. At this moment, the Naqi County Commander came to Wu Shigong and Li Lu.

Qi Xian Ling stroked his beard, happily bowed to Wu Shigong and Li Lu, and said, "Congratulations to the two generals on their victory." The official's wife has also personally congratulated you strong men. ”

Following the gaze of Qi County Order, Wu Shigong saw a veiled woman under the city wall, with a slender figure, and generously blessed Wu Shigong and Li Lu. Then, the maid beside her came to Wu Shigong and Li Lu with a tray in hand. On top of the tray are two small cups filled with wine.

Wu Shigong bowed his hand to Mrs. Qi in return, then picked up a small wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the small wine cup, he then smiled and greeted Mrs. Qi and Qi County Ling respectively.

At this moment, Wu Shigong's eyes found Li Lu holding a small wine cup in his hand, looking at Mrs. Naqi blankly. Wu Shigong was surprised to find that Li Lu's eyes were straight again!?

Wu Shigong immediately kicked Li Lu in the ass unceremoniously. Li Lu reacted immediately, his face turned red, and he hurriedly drank the wine in one gulp.

Wu Shigong shouted to Li Lu: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and send someone to cut off the head under the city wall! ”

Li Lu hurriedly arranged for the people on the city wall to take ropes and tie his dozen personal soldiers to the city wall to cut their heads.

Qi Xianling watched all this with great interest from the sidelines. He didn't care about how Wu Shigong and Li Lu assigned their heads.

At this time, the role of the noble and the lowly is reflected. As long as the county seat is guarded, no matter whether the Qi County Order plays a role in the process of defending the county seat, and the haunt has made efforts, when it comes to Zuihou, the Qi County Order, the largest civil official in the county, must be the first merit.

Qi County Ling still thought in his heart: "If I hold the county seat this time, I have credit, then my promotion to Zhizhou will be almost ironclad." ”

Wu Shigong and Li Lu lay on the battlements of the city wall, watching the soldiers under the city cutting their heads. Suddenly, one of the soldiers shouted to the city wall, "My lord, there is still a living mouth here." ”

Wu Shigong and Li Lu glanced at each other, and Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Tie that live mouth and pull it up with a rope." "If you can know the situation of some chaotic people from this living mouth, it is also haode.

It took a lot of effort to pull that living mouth up the city wall. Unexpectedly, the living mouth was seriously injured, and after such a toss just now, after pulling up the city wall, he "grunted" two sentences in his mouth, and spit blood in his mouth, his leg stood up, and he died!

When he said his last words, his mouth was full of blood, so his words were slurred. He spoke the local Henan dialect again. Therefore, Wu Shigong didn't understand what he said.

After the translation of the local Zhuang Ding on the side, Wu Shigong knew what this living mouth was talking about. The general meaning of what he said was: Wu Shigong and they beat these people of the Holy Spirit Society with firearms, and the living mouth thought that this was not fair. That living mouth made Wu Shigong and them have a kind of fair duel with the Holy Spirit and their real guns.

After Wu Shigong heard this, he despised these foolish people of the Holy Spirit Society very much. He thought to himself, "What about a fair duel?" A person who has no knowledge is just no knowledge. ”

"In modern times, even if I read very little, I also know that our great teacher Engels once said: 'The fundamental difference between man and animal is the manufacture and use of tools.'" ”

"I'm human, and if I make a firecracker, of course I'm going to use it. How can you animals who only know fair duels understand this? Have you ever seen someone go into a slaughterhouse, strip naked, and wrestle fairly in the mud with the fowls and beasts? ”

"The most ridiculous thing is that there is a foolish nation who actually sublimates this theory into a spirit. That is the spirit of bushido. No wonder that foolish country is called a country of beasts, and no wonder the flag of that foolish country is like a red light. ”
