Chapter 4: Unfinished Business

The generals of Yizhou and the beardless men came to the inner house and were soon invited in by Li Minglou.

A few boys and children of about 10 years old were playing under the porch, and when they saw them coming, they lifted the curtain on the door.

The general of Yizhou City held his breath and saw the woman sitting in the room.

Only then did he know why the general smiled meaningfully at him: "You go and take a look, our young lady Wu is different from before." ”

I thought it was about getting the title and becoming the master of Huainan Road, but it turned out to be .....

He looked at the fairies in the house, and the fairies looked at him.

"You are General Zhou's lieutenant?" She asked.

The fairy sound was pleasant and let the distant spirit return to its place, and the deputy general bowed his head and saluted: "The last general, Li Cheng, has seen the young lady." ”

"Previously, a lot of goods from Yizhou have been transported here." Li Minglou said, "This time I sent so much, General Zhou bothered." ”

He also asked Zhou Xian how he was over there and what the situation of the rebels around him was.

Lowering his head and only listening to the voice, Li Cheng felt that Mrs. Wu was still the same as before, at that time, she would not abandon the army all the way and charge into battle, she would care about their food and drink, and check their injuries.

Li Cheng replied one by one, the tragedy of King Zhao's protectorate, the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou City were bent on resisting the enemy, and they joined the army to train hard, and the inside and outside were as strong as iron buckets, and the 1,000 soldiers and horses left by Zhou Xian have now expanded to almost 10,000.

"The general said that he would lead his troops to connect Yizhou with Xuanwu Dao Huainan Dao." He said happily, and couldn't help but compare his hands and feet.

Zhou Xian's imagination was even bigger than this, and after connecting, he turned into a sharp arrow and only went to the capital, and attacked the Wudu Governor back and forth, quelling the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Li Minglou smiled: "Let's work together." ”

Li Cheng's eyes were a little dazzled, the woman who was covered in her robe before walked like a ghost during the day, but everyone called it a fairy, and now it looks like a fairy, so it is the same as before.

The immortal smiled again: "Don't connect to Xuanwu Dao first, let's recapture Huainan Dao from the southeast." ”

Half of Huainan Province east of Gwangju is still in the hands of the rebels, where there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the original Huainan Province led by Ma Jiang, and next to it is the army of An Dezhong in Zhejiang, and the army of An Dezhong repelled Qishan and occupied half of the southeast, with tens of thousands of troops.

That side is no less than the rebels in the capital, and the fight is as miserable as hell.

Li Cheng landed from the sky and lowered his head in response.

"Who is this?" Li Minglou looked at the white-faced bearded man.

This man has a pale complexion and a gentle breath, he looks like he is forty years old, but he looks like he is thirty years old, he stands quietly in a green shirt, if you don't look at him, he seems to be non-existent, but when you look at him, he is as vivid as rice and wheat tassels.

Li Minglou noticed that he came in with Li Cheng, and Li Cheng took a wrong step.

Hearing Li Minglou ask, he leaned over and saluted: "The old slave is gone, I have seen Mrs." ”

Unfulfilled? It's a pseudonym.

Only eunuchs call themselves this kind of old slaves, although Li Minglou has seen those eunuchs in King Zhao's Mansion, he doesn't know them in a hurry.

Li Cheng introduced: "It is the chamberlain of the Zhaowang Mansion, he is familiar with Yizhou City, and the general wants to lead the troops and let him manage Yizhou for the city guard." ”

Castle Guard? That is, at the prefect level, Li Minglou frowned slightly, I don't know if it was invited by Zhou Xian, or if Yizhou City took the initiative to send it.

A let word can contain many meanings.

Zhou Xian is a military general, she is not worried about fighting to protect the city, she is only afraid that she is not the opponent of some people, has he been bullied by those big families in Yizhou City? If you are bullied, you can't do it!

Li Minglou didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.

Jiang Liang and Liu Fan also stared at this eunuch, one with a contemptuous look and the other arrogant, as if they wanted to run out of him.

didn't run, in fact, he didn't seem to see Jiang Liang and Liu Fan sitting on the side at all.

"Madam, I took the initiative to ask General Zhou for my life." He took the initiative to say, "General Zhou trains troops to run the city and wears many hats, and Yizhou City is also different from other cities, there is no imperial court official, and it has always been taken care of by His Royal Highness King Zhao, and many rules are different." ”

So they don't listen to outsiders?

Li Minglou said: "The rules are all made from scratch, and now everyone is not used to the chaos in the world." ”

Jiang Liang followed: "Speaking of which, our Gwangju Mansion is also different from the previous rules, how can there be any entry fees to enter the city and protect the fields in the peaceful and prosperous world, everyone is not used to it at first, but this is not no way, the world is so chaotic, the rules must follow the trend." ”

What is the fate of the family that is not accustomed to the rules, and the blood of the beheading on the execution ground has not dried up.

Yizhou City is not impossible.

He took a step back and knelt down.

"Madam, the old slave grew up in King Zhao's mansion since he was a child, and now King Zhao is gone, leaving us who are not all wastes to live, and everyone proposes to follow King Zhao." He said, "But the old slave thinks that King Zhao's wish is not yet fulfilled, we can't die, we should guard the city of Yizhou and the people for King Zhao, see the rebels being quelled, see the world restore peace, see that the blood of King Zhao's family has not been shed in vain, and at that time, we will follow His Highness." ”

He leaned down and bowed.

"Therefore, in the name of the future, the old slave recommended himself to assist General Zhou in managing Yizhou City, and had no other demands, just to inherit King Zhao's wishes."

He raised his head, his eyes were shining with tears, and Li Minglou saw for the first time that the tearful eyes of a thirty or forty-year-old person could be as clear as a child.

"King Zhao entrusted the city of Yizhou to his wife before he died, this is Mrs. Yizhou, General Zhou asked me to be the city guard, originally I wanted to write a letter to ask Mrs., but I asked to come to see Mrs. in person."

He leaned over again and pressed his forehead to the ground.

"Please entrust the lady of Yizhou City to the old slave, and the old slave is willing to shed the last drop of blood for it."

Li Minglou looked at the attendant who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You must always remember how King Zhao died." ”

He raised his head: "The old slave wakes up every day and recites silently, every day before going to bed, and every time before eating, day and night." ”

Li Minglou said: "Since it is the city guard, don't call it an old slave, not an adult, please get up." ”

Wei raised his head and smiled at her with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, madam, I didn't take the order." ”

.....

.....

Jiang Liang looked at the left Wei and commented: "This person should not be underestimated. King Zhao has no ambition, but the inner servants live with King Zhao as their sustenance, and when King Zhao dies, they have to find new sustenance if they want to live. ”

And is this sustenance good or evil? Whether it can be controlled or out of control is a thought.

"Take King Zhao's death as sustenance." Liu Fan hummed, "I think this person's demeanor is better than yours." ”

Jiang Liang picked out what he liked to hear from his words: "Ah, you also think I'm good, it's really discerning." ”

Liu Fan snorted and ignored him, turned his head to look at Li Minglou and asked what he was talking about before: "Madame let these families go like this, and will reduce the amount of rice and grain money they pay in the future?" ”

Li Minglou said: "Except for the Huang family and others, what they want is just a small profit, and they don't really want to harm the peace of Gwangju Mansion, our purpose is to stabilize Gwangju Mansion, just be vigilant, they are not rebels in the end, kill them too much, and the people will be afraid." ”

Jiang Liang held the big teacup and nodded: "After the thunder and rain, the family must be grateful to Mrs. Dade." ”

"I don't care if they hate me or be grateful, willingly or swallowing their anger, as long as they don't destroy my Gwangju Mansion." Li Ming said.

Jiang Liang nodded again: "Madame is broad-minded and desireless. ”

Li Minglou looked at him and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Like in her previous life, Jiang Liang often praised her at that time, what a smart and clever woman, a heroic husband among women, of course, she didn't really believe his words at that time, being praised was her daily routine, just like eating and drinking.

Jiang Liang said: "No thanks, no thanks, Mrs. should be praised." ”

Liu Fan couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but pull Jiang Liang to say goodbye, Jiang Liang walked to the door and broke away, and thanked Li Minglou for his salute.

Li Minglou was puzzled and asked, "Thank me for what?" ”

Jiang Liang said sincerely: "Mrs. Xie arrested me. ”

Li Minglou laughed.
