The annual festival has always officially started on the day of the festival.

This year, Dachang feels that he has to do it well and have a good time.

A few years ago, the boss said that they lived a life of licking blood on the head of the knife, dead people are a common thing, no matter who dies, even if it is her, the living people, life must go on, live well.

This year, the field chickens are gone, the golden retriever is gone, and many people are gone, but life still has to go on.

This year, we must do it well, do it well, live well, and be lively.

As the year before, the day after the sacrificial stove, a large oil pot was set up in the courtyard, and Dachang rolled up his sleeves high, fished out the steamed dumplings from the large copper basin, and once again put them into another large basin filled with oil.

The black horse poured oil into the big iron pot and boiled the oil, and the fire under the stove was replaced by a golden retriever and a small Luzi.

Li Sangrou stood under the porch, looked at it for a while, walked out of the courtyard, and went to the shop.

Dachang and a few of them, busy from dark to dark, busy for three or four days, from the kitchen to the wing, are full of steamed dumplings, balls, hemp pages, steamed buns......

After dinner, Li Sangrou looked at Da Chang, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, sprinkling salt and ingredients into the vat, and then putting chicken, duck and fish meat layer by layer, looked at it for a while, raised her voice and shouted: "Let the black horse pickle, come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Da Chang sighed, the black horse was with Datou, burying the green onion and cabbage with sand, and also heard Li Sangrou's words, so he hurriedly put down the green onion and cabbage, washed his hands, and took over the pickled chicken and fish.

Da Chang wiped his hands clean and sat down next to Li Sangrou.

"Early tomorrow morning, you take the channel, from Wuwei to Yangzhou, from Yangzhou and back, Xiao Luzi and Datou together, from Yangzhou to Wuwei, and then come back, grasshoppers follow the dark horse, go to the Taiyuan line, carefully patrol, look at it, don't worry, come back after the first month." Li Sangrou's voice was low.

"What are you going to do?" Dachang's eyes widened.

Li Sangrou sipped her tea and didn't answer.

"To kill Shen He?" Dachang asked.

Li Sangrou nodded.

"I'll go with you." Da Chang said in a muffled voice.

"Two waste, I'm enough for one person, I don't need you.

In the future, you take them, this Jianle City, you can come back, if you can't come back, you will go somewhere else. Li Sangrou looked at the dark horse.

The black horse carried the chicken's head, swung the chicken up and threw it around, and then slapped it into the tank.

"I'm sure I'll follow you, dead or alive. Let the dark horse go too, leave him alone, he can't live. Da Chang followed Li Sangrou's gaze and looked at the dark horse.

Li Sangrou leaned back in the chair for a while, and sighed, "Okay." ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Luzi and Datou all the way, grasshoppers and channeling strips, set off for Wuwei and Yangzhou lines to inspect.

……………………

In the fried rice lane house of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Dachang made a large table full of dishes, and in the courtyard full of New Year's goods, the three people slowly ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, drank a cup of tea, Li Sangrou stood up, "Let's go." ”

"Bring the Golden Retriever, you have to let him look at it." The black horse rushed into the wing, carrying the golden retriever's tablet in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, and wrapped the tablet in his back as he walked.

The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate, along the empty street, in the sound of firecrackers near and far, in the aroma of oil, meat, and wine, until they reached the gate of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

Li Sangrou squinted at the brightly lit and brand-new Yongping Marquis Mansion.

"Let's go!" Li Sangrou raised her feet and stepped forward.

Da Chang took two steps and raised his feet to kick open the door of the Hou Mansion.

Behind the gate, four gatekeepers were eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the gatehouse, and the sound of the door being kicked open made several gatekeepers rush up at the same time.

Da Chang, who was at the forefront, knocked two out of his fist, the dark horse knocked out one, and the innermost porter plunged headlong under the table.

The black horse was just about to bend down and drag out of the porter under the table, when Li Sangrou called out to him, "Leave him to report the news." ”

The black horse immediately straightened up, followed Li Sangrou, and rushed straight inside along the middle road of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

The screams rushed into the main hall with a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was festive but not lively.

The screams were one step ahead.

Yongping Hou Shen He heard the screams, and when he was about to scold, he had already seen Li Sangrou rushing forward.

"You guys! Knock them out! Come on! Go to the officer! Go to the palace! Just go! Shen He's shouting was from anger to fear.

"Let's go! Run! Old Madam Han swooped forward and pushed Shen He, who was still roaring.

Shen Mingshu sat on the other side of Old Madam Han, with his back to the door, turned around, and just saw Li Sangrou's narrow sword sliding out of his wrist, he screamed in horror, swooped up, and knocked down the stunned maid headlong, but was tripped by the maid and fell to the ground.

Li Sangrou took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Shen Mingshu, who had not yet fallen strong, and the narrow sword in his hand slid across Shen Mingshu's neck, pushing Shen Mingshu down on the sumptuous table.

Blood spurted out from Shen Mingshu's neck, like rain, and poured on the faces of Old Madam Han and Shen He.

Old Madam Han's eyes widened, and she subconsciously pounced in front of Shen He.

"Son......" Shen He screamed only halfway, and the throat and blood vessels were cut open by the narrow sword in Li Sangrou's hand.

Old Madam Han stared at Shen He, hugged Shen He, and fell to the ground with him.

Li Sangrou put away the narrow sword, and looked at Mrs. Han who was drenched in a pool of blood, at Mrs. Yongpinghou, who was stunned, and Shen Mingyi, who was holding Mrs. Yongpinghou tightly and was dripping with urine.

The black horse untied the tablet and took out the golden retriever's tablet, threw it in front of him, tore off the burden wrapped outside, and lifted the tablet, "Golden retriever, look, the boss has avenged you." Look at it, don't rush to go, wait a while, let's go together! ”

……………………

In the first New Year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Wen Shunzhi led the envoy to inspect Jianle City, and the first time he made an inspection, he came out of Prince Rui's mansion, and just after patrolling two streets, he met the terrified Yongping Marquis Mansion gatehouse.

Wen Shunzhi took all the guards and rushed to the gate of the Yongping Marquis Mansion and rushed into the main hall.

The main hall was covered with blood and silent.

Li Sangrou sat on the threshold, Dachang leaned on the door frame, standing next to Li Sangrou, the black horse held the golden retriever tablet with one hand, squatted in front of Li Sangrou's side, saw Wen Shunzhi rushing forward, grinned, and waved at him with the tablet.

Wen Shunzhi held on to the door frame, his eyes moved from Shen Mingshu pressed on the table full of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, to Shen He, who was lying on the ground on his back, and Old Mrs. Han, who was holding Shen He, who did not know life and death, and then looked at Mrs. Yongpinghou, who was kneeling on the ground and hugging Shen Mingyi tightly, only felt that her mind was blank.

Gu Xi was not in Prince Rui's mansion, he was in the palace, talking with the new emperor Gu Jin, who had just ascended the throne, and Princess Ning He, who had just recovered from a serious illness, watching the grand and serious big show.

Wen Shun ordered someone to seal the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and he hurriedly entered the palace to make a report.

When he arrived outside the main hall, Wen Shunzhi didn't dare to come forward directly to report, quietly signaled Ruyi, and called out Gu Xi.

Gu Xi's face turned white after hearing Wen Shunzhi's words.

Yes, that day, what she said was: After the eldest brother ascended the throne, she was going to kill Shen He's father and son, and she was the one who killed her!

"Wait." Gu Xi gritted his teeth and ordered, turned around and went in.

"Is it Zhihe? What's wrong? Gu Jin had already seen Wen Shunzhi.

"Yes." Gu Xi glanced at Princess Ning He, who was looking at him, well, she is the best here, and she may be able to help say a few words in a while.

"He just came from the Yongping Marquis Mansion." Gu Xi stiffened his head and continued.

Gu Jin's eyebrows raised.

"Li Sangrou killed Shen He's father and son, just now." Gu Xi simply said directly.

Gu Jin's eyes narrowed.

Gu Xi took half a step back and knelt on the ground, "This matter, the big mistake is me."

That day, I went to find Miss Li, and she said that after you ascended the throne, she was going to kill Shen He's father and son, I heard it clearly, but I didn't take it to heart, and I would be wrong, I didn't tell her to understand, I didn't tell her no.

I am at fault for this, and I am responsible for this crime. ”

Princess Ning He was stunned for a moment before she reacted from her astonishment, stood up according to the case, and fell to her knees.

"It's not up to you to get involved, help her in." Gu Jin commanded sharply before Ning spoke to the princess.

Several female envoys hurriedly stepped forward to help Princess Ning He, dragged them with support, and together with Princess Ning He, they hurriedly retreated.

"You're threatening me?" Gu Jin turned his head and looked directly at Gu Xi.

"She's been a lifesaver to me more than once.

Shen He's father and son are indeed at fault first, the Liu family has a family of six, some old and some young, and they are really innocent.

She did tell me that I was careless, and I didn't say no, she probably thought I was acquiescing. Gu Xi leaned down.

"I asked you to go to her, and I told her plainly, Yongping Marquis Mansion, Shen He's father and son, don't move!" Gu Jin's voice was cold, "She saved your life, so she can burst out and kill people, and there is no king's law?" ”

"She was too angry, and she died as a brother who lived and died with her, and she was confused for a while. But she didn't run away! Gu Xi explained stubbornly.

"She has never been confused, she is not too ambitious, she regards Wang Fa as nothing, you and I as nothing, she only has herself in her eyes, she can do whatever she wants!" Gu Jin said coldly, "The matter in Linli County is like this, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion is also like this, such a person ......"

"Big brother!" Gu Xi interrupted Gu Jin's stay, and looked at Gu Jin with a pleading face, "Shen He's father and son are innocent, you know, big brother, just this once, if there is a next time, I ......"

"There will be a next time, it will be the same, just like this time, like the one in Linli County, you know after the fact! It's already useless! Gu Jin clenched his fists and slammed them on several cases.

She did break the law and ignored the commandment, but she did not escape.

Zhihe said, the dark horse asked the golden retriever to wait for them, she was planning to fight for her life, she didn't treat the king's law as nothing, she respected the king's law, she just wanted to fight for her life!

She saved my life, this life-saving grace, I can't help but repay it, if the eldest brother must punish the crime, I will repay my life with my life. Gu Xi lowered his head and said.

Gu Jin pursed her lips tightly and looked directly at Gu Xi who was leaning over and hanging her head, "Are you threatening me?" ”

Gu Xi hung his head and didn't say a word.

"Yes, you're such a bastard, since you were a child." Gu Jin leaned back in his chair. "You are talking nonsense, only one sentence is right, she didn't run away, she knew that she had broken the law, and she couldn't escape.

I spared her life, not because of any life-saving grace, but because she did not escape, and she could be spared death, not crime.

She and her men, six in all, went to the army to serve hard labor for life.

In the future battle, either she can make enough credit to atone for her and her men, or she and her men will die on the battlefield. ”

Gu Xi leaned over.

If you can save a life, you can talk about it later, when you get to the army, you will go to the army, and if you are in the army, it will be in his army.

……………………

Wen Cheng hurried into the Yongping Marquis Mansion, walked away dozens of steps, and looked at the light overflowing from the main hall, Li Sang Rouan sat on the threshold peacefully, and Da Changan stood quietly.

With the strong smell of blood, the black horse waved the golden retriever's tablet and sang "Yanzhang beats the north slope of the horse...... What are you afraid of even if you die? The drums of war couldn't stop resounding to the sky, and the soldiers rushed to his side......"

Fearless, fearless, unscrupulous, and frank.

Wen Cheng stopped, looked at it for a moment, and sighed.

He felt a little helpless about the prince.

Li Sangrou saw Wen Cheng, sat still, only reached out and patted the black horse, signaling him to stop singing.

After two or three steps away, Wen Cheng stopped and motioned to the three of them, "Come with me." ”

"Will you cut off your head now, or will you go to prison for a few days? Celebrate the New Year. The black horse jumped up holding the golden retriever's tablet.

Li Sangrou stood up and went down the steps.

"The prince has taken this matter down. However," Wen Cheng looked directly at Li Sangrou.

"The emperor's decree, the big boss, and your six brothers, will be sent to the army and be slaves for life.

The emperor said, either the big boss will make enough contributions in the future war to redeem your life and your brother for yourself, or you will die on the battlefield. ”

"It can't be counted as Xiao Luzi, it's none of their business, they're not at home!" The dark horse hurriedly explained.

Li Sangrou raised her hand to stop the black horse.

"Even if you don't count, when they come back, they have to come to us." Otsune reached out and pulled the black horse behind him.

"Yes." The dark horse held the golden retriever's tablet and patted it, "Golden retriever, you go first, don't wait." ”

"Thank you." Li Sangrou bowed slightly to Wen Cheng.

"The big boss turned around and saw the prince, thank him personally.

Let's go, from now on, the big boss and a few brothers will be the sin slaves in the army. Wen Cheng smiled bitterly and gestured to Li Sangrou.

Li Sangrou looked back at the brightly lit and silent main hall of the Hou Mansion, and strode forward.

Li Sangrou and the three of them, crowded into a prisoner car, walked for most of the night, and entered the military camp sixty or seventy miles away from Jianle City amid the sound of firecrackers on the first day of the new year.

The bias of the current value will be very young. It is the first time that I have been on duty for the New Year, and it is the first time that I have received three prisoners on duty for the New Year.

The young general stared at Li Sangrou and the three of them who jumped out of the car one by one, and was surprised that he didn't remember why the three prisoners were not tied up and shackled, and why they staggered down by themselves.

"There are four more to be sent over in a few days, and they will be arranged in a group, and they will be sent as they want." Wen Cheng confessed to the young generals.

"This is a woman's ......" is a flattering general.

"You just think she's a man." Wen Cheng replied very quickly.

"Huh?" The general was dumbfounded, a little lady, when a man? How when?

"Also, don't send her out because she's big, she is a group, you just have to send the work, you can't disassemble and transfer, unless the prince speaks." Wen Cheng looked at the stunned general and explained more.

"And!" Seeing that Wen Cheng was leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward, "There is an empty house, but there is no extra bedding and clothes, this is a big New Year's ......"

For the Chinese New Year, there will be no place to get it for a while.

"I'll have someone send it over." Wen Cheng looked helplessly at the panicked young general.

If you really want to fight, such young people have to hone hard.

"Can you send a message to the blind man near Yanzhenguan and tell him I'm fine." Li Sangrou took two steps forward and looked at Wen Chengdao.

"Well, I know him." Wen Cheng nodded.

Seeing Wen Cheng away, the young general took a few guards and sent Li Sangrou and the three of them into one of the rows of houses behind the stable.

There were no doors in this row of houses, some of them were hung with straw curtains, and some were simply open.

The house is very small, and when you enter the door, there is an earthen kang, and there is nothing on the earthen kang, and the black horse reaches out and touches it, and it is cold on the kang.

"Go clean the stables at dawn." The general took the three of them to the door of the house, gave a command, looked at the three of them with their hands and feet, and hesitated.

The prisoners in the camp were all chained, and at night, a group of ten people had to be chained together, and they ......

Forget it, he's better to leave it alone.

The anklets of those prisoners were locked when they were sent, and these three were not locked when they were sent, so don't worry about it, these three people, a woman, and a big man like an iron tower, are obviously very unusual.

"So be it." The general watched the three of them enter the house and walked away with their hands behind their backs.

The black horse sat on the kang for a while, jumped down and squatted on the ground, the kang was too cold, so let's squat.

Dachang Kang touched the corner of the house, but only touched a hand of ash.

"Squat for a while, it's almost dawn." Li Sangrou squatted down next to the black horse and signaled to Dachang.

The three of them huddled together, half-squatting and half-sitting on the kang, as if they were asleep, and after a while, the sky was bright.

Outside, two broken gongs sounded, and there was a clanging key, and from far and near, an old man in his forties stuck his head into the house, "You guys came here last night?" It's work! ”

The old pawn shouted, turned around and left.

The three of them went out of the house, and a group of about twenty people in front of them, wearing dirty and torn jackets and trousers, slumped shoulders and necks, and dragged iron chains on their feet, and went into the front stable.

The three men followed, and also went into the stables, and took a handful of each from a pile of shovels, and shoveled the horse manure first.

Li Sangrou was silent and worked hard, Dachang and the dark horse followed Li Sangrou, burying their heads in shoveling.

worked until the sun was shining, before and after, a broken gong sounded, and Li Sangrou and the three of them, followed by the group of weak prisoners, gathered under a shed at the door of the stable, a house and a pile, a large pot of cabbage, and a basket of mixed noodles steamed buns.

Wen Cheng confessed that Li Sangrou and the others are a group, and they don't add people, and the three of them also have the same amount of steamed buns.

There were a few piles of prisoners next to him, but no one paid attention to this special treatment.

Li Sangrou was three, neatly dressed, quite clean, and did not wear anklets, they did not treat them as prisoners of the same crime as them.

There are actually more than a dozen slices of fatty meat in the cabbage, well, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The three of them are not picky, Li Sangrou and Heima each ate two steamed buns, and the rest went into Dachang's stomach, and Dachang was half full, forget it, bear with it.

After eating and then working, around noon, a soldier who looked like a personal guard stood at the door of the stable and shouted: "Li Shangyou, someone is looking for it!" ”

Li Sangrou got out of the stable, followed the guards, and went out until the gate.

Outside the gate, the blind man was waving his blind cane from left to right, and next to the blind man, there were Lao Zuo and Lu Hepeng, the stewards of the Shunfeng General Number.

Seeing Li Sangrou, Lao Zuo and Lu Hepeng trotted up to catch up.

"Great boss, you are really here! This blind man said, "You killed the Marquis of Yongping?" Really? Before he ran in front of Li Sangrou, Lao Zuo asked anxiously.

Along the way, his heart was like frying and burning.

"Well, Marquis Yongping, and his eldest son." Li Sangrou replied with a smile.

The old left foot staggered, and Lu Hepeng snorted violently.

"Okay, okay, go along, can I still lie to you?" The blind man stabbed the two of them out with a blind cane.

"You wait over there for a while, and I'll say a few words to the blind man first." Li Sangrou motioned to Lao Zuo and Lu Hepeng.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lao Zuo and Lu Hepeng and retreated to the side of the cart, and the blind cane of the blind man stabbed the ground violently, "You are really crazy!" ”

"I have to take some credit on the battlefield and redeem my brothers, and myself." Li Sangrou said straight to business. "That hand crossbow, you said, can be made into a big crossbow, is there a picture?"

The blind man looked at Li Sangrou, and after a moment, he licked his lips, "If you use it...... I have to change it again, it's a big killer, and you can use it, but others don't have the same accuracy as you. ”

"It's better to have a repeater, and also, can you help me get a big crossbow, the hardness that can be pulled apart, my quasi-head you know, the farther you shoot, the better." Li Sangrou continued.

"That's a big killer!" The blind man sighed a few times, "You are looking for me, this is the matter?" ”

"And what else do you want?" Li Sangrou asked rhetorically.

"I thought you asked me to show you the graveyard. Alright, speak up. The blind man waved his cane in half a circle and strode towards the cart.

"Big boss, you ......" Lao Zuo stretched out his head and looked at the guard standing next to the gate, "Are you okay?" What are you doing in our shop? ”

"You guys came early in the morning?" Li Sangrou looked at Lu Hepeng from the old left.

"Early in the morning, before the sky was clear, the blind man came to me and said that you had been locked up in this barracks.

I don't know what's going on, thinking about the government barracks, I don't understand, so I went to Mr. Lu, thinking, I really want to do something, Mr. Lu is familiar with it. Lao Zuo saw Li Sangrou's calm expression, and his heart gradually settled down.

"You go back, there are already people in the shop waiting to take over, no matter who takes over, you can do whatever you want, they won't treat you badly." Li Sangrou smiled.

"What if there was no one?" Lu Hepeng asked.

"No one." Li Sangrou was stunned, then looked at Lao Zuo and said with a smile: "If there is no one, come here to find me if you have something." If there is an urgent matter like the last epidemic, go to Mr. Lu. ”

Li Sangrou turned to Lu Hepeng, "You know what to do about things like epidemics. ”

"Yes, yes." Lu Hepeng nodded hurriedly.

"Then I'll go back first, and wait until tomorrow, if no one comes to our shop, Mr. Lu and I will come again.

In the car, I brought some food, covers, clothes and shoes for the big boss. Lao Zuo's heart was completely let go.

They are in charge, they do big things, and those who do big things are bumpy, exempted from official exile and imprisoned or something, which is not a three-up, he is prepared for this.

This time, they were in charge of the camp, and they went to prison in the barracks.

Li Sangrou even carried the carry, and the little guard also helped, and even carried half of the carload of food and clothing into the empty house.

Li Sangrou threw the things on the kang, thanked the little guard, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that she was just driven into the barracks, and it was much better than she expected to be able to see people and deliver things!

As for the future, if there is a war, then there will be a war!
