Chapter 495: Uneasy Life

Mo Zuoling's subordinates are cleaning up the results of the battle, as long as they are alive, they will all be questioned for confessions, and they will all be tied up and locked up for the time being.

The most important thing is the carrier pigeon password letter officer, at that time, Lin Shuigen was afraid of leaking the news, Lin Shuigen killed one, and now he has to find out the person who knows the password to contact the guard from the captives.

Seeing that they were busy, Zhuang Rou and Lin Shuigen sat by the fire with their hands outstretched and roasted the fire, while under her buttocks sat a stool used to beat people.

Yinba didn't like fire, so he found some food in the warehouse, squatted in the corner not far from Zhuang Rou and ate it.

Just that bit of meat and bones can't be eaten, and it's not human, so it's embarrassing, and when it's hungry, it naturally eats whatever it wants.

Thirty soldiers changed into rebel clothes and stood outside the gate in their place. Some of the more watery ones began to launch and dismantle the boats and fishing nets that blocked the estuary.

The rope with the bell was cut, and the people found tools to dismantle the ship.

By breaking the nets and ropes between the boats, you can find a way to push the smaller boats out of the estuary. When the current carries the boat away, the estuary relaxes, and the big boat can break down and rush into the river.

"General, I've asked for orders and how to contact the rebels." A man with a gloomy aura walked up to Mo Zuo's side and reported.

Zhuang Rou looked at him from a distance, the aura on that person's body was a bit like his cheap master Shi Zang, but it was much weaker. It seems that this person is specially tortured prisoners, and he has this kind of gloomy aura on his body.

Mo Zuo nodded, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Okay, this time the Yuwan Wharf is our territory, go and bring the brothers and people in the village, we can't let them leak our news." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" The man answered, and hastened to find someone and return to report the news.

At this time, Mo Zuo relaxed, strode to the fire with a jar, and handed it to Lin Shuigen, "These miscellaneous pieces and wine, life is really good, you take it to drink it to warm your body." ”

Zhuang Rou stared at the half-watermelon-sized wine jar in Lin Shuigen's hand, and squinted at Mo Zuo, with a particularly sad look in his eyes.

Mo Zuo was stared at by her very uncomfortable, and asked inexplicably, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

"Where's my wine? Don't I need to warm up? Zhuang Rou was very dissatisfied with this kind of differential treatment, she was the one who needed wine more!

"Don't women drink ginseng chicken soup when they catch a cold?" Mo Zuo asked very strangely, when he was still at home when he was a child, if anyone in the family was sick with a cold, he would cook ginseng and chicken soup and drink it, but he had never seen anyone drinking.

Besides, he smelled this wine just now, and it was not the fruit wine that a woman drank, and it tasted very strong.

He explained, "This wine is so strong that a woman can't drink it." ”

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and drank, "Where is the ginseng chicken soup?" I'm freezing to death, but you won't even give me a sip of wine. It is said that women can only drink chicken soup, but what about soup! ”

"Why are you so fierce woman, where do you ask me to find chicken to cook for you in the middle of the night!" Mo's left head is as big as a fight, which is why he is reluctant to take a woman to the battle, how easy it is for a rough man to dismiss.

Zhuang Rou said angrily: "I'm going to write to my brother, saying that you let me go into the water in the winter to do internal response, and then you won't even let me drink wine to keep warm, and you still think I'm fierce." ”

Mo Zuo was almost angry with her, originally wanted to call the women in the village and let them serve Zhuang Rou, and only women can understand women's affairs. Now I see that I have wasted my kindness in vain, and I can drink it if I like it!

He snatched the wine jar from Lin Shuigen's hand and stuffed it to Zhuang Rou, "Drink, it's all for you now, are you satisfied!" ”

"Humph!" Zhuang Rou glanced at him, smelled the wine, and choked on it, it was really not a good wine, but it was strong enough.

She tilted her head and lifted the jug to pour it straight away.

Mo Zuo was also worried that the wine would be spilled and wasted by her, but he found that not a drop was leaked, and he just listened to her drink the wine with a clatter.

"Hey, you drink less, what if you drink to death in a while!" He said a little worriedly, there used to be a noble lady who drank a few more drinks at the banquet, and finally accidentally broke into the room where the man was changing clothes and lost her reputation.

can obviously be a wife, but she can only be accepted as a concubine, and the old father in the family is angry to death.

Zhuang Rou put down the wine jar, glanced at him, and felt that Mo Zuo, the general, was so strange, how could he be so like a housekeeper, and he had to talk about everything non-stop.

However, this wine is indeed very strong, and after drinking it, the abdomen begins to warm up, and the whole body slowly heats up, dispelling the chill of the whole body.

She hurriedly handed the wine jar to Lin Shuigen, so that she was not as stingy as Mo Zuo, and only gave one person a drink to drink.

Lin Shuigen took the wine jar, and felt a little surprised that the wine jar was much lighter than the one he had just held. The sip she drank was at least a third gone.

The amount of alcohol is good, if you can marry the general, go into battle to kill the enemy together, and go back to the camp to drink and talk, it is actually very suitable for the general.

He thought to himself, picked up the wine jar and was about to drink, but a big hand appeared in front of him and snatched the wine jar.

Lin Shuigen looked up at Mo Zuo, who was stretching out his hand to grab the wine, and saw that he was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll get you a bowl." ”

"Huh?" Lin Shuigen wanted to say that he didn't need to be so particular, but suddenly remembered that Zhuang Rou was drinking the wine directly in front of the can just now......

At this moment, he felt that it was better for the general's wife to preside over the overall situation in the capital, and if she followed the army, who knew when she would have to let them cross the line.

It's the first time Zhuang Rou has seen a man so evasive, and his usual swaggering appearance is completely like two people.

If it was in the capital, Mo Zuo's style would definitely be a gentleman. But judging from Zhuang Rou's contact with him, this guy really attaches great importance to honor, and still wants women to stay at home and not go out.

Seeing him go to find the bowl, Zhuang Rou whispered to Lin Shuigen: "If your general gives birth to a bunch of daughters, he won't show others a glance at the tips of his fingers. ”

Lin Shuigen smiled awkwardly, "After all, the general was born in the capital, and his family is wealthy, so he should have learned a lot of rules." Compared with those gentlemen in Beijing, the general is really a good person. ”

Zhuang Rou had to admit that to a certain extent, Mo Zuo was indeed a good man, but he chose the wrong person he wanted to marry.

After a while, Mo Zuo came over with a big bowl and poured the wine into the bowl, and Lin Shuigen drank the wine.

After the clothes were dry, Zhuang Rou occupied a fairly clean room and took Yinba to rest here.

Zhuang Rou couldn't take care of the aftermath, she only planned to let Yinba recuperate here, and she didn't plan to help Mo Zuo do more.

This guy won't appreciate women, so don't help him.

Zhuang Rou slept until dawn, got up and yawned and stood on the second floor to look down, and saw that the women and children in the village had been brought over, and they were busy cooking for the soldiers downstairs.

Looking at their beaming faces and the dustpan they were holding in their arms, there was a lot of food in them, and it seemed that the rations of the rebels were obviously better than those of the people of Hongzhou, and they were very sufficient.

It's just that there are only more than 100 rebels stationed here, and there are 500 people on Mozuo's side, and some civilians have been brought, and these stored grains can't last for a few days.

But this is not Zhuang Rou's business, she looked up at the estuary, just in the middle of the night, most of the abandoned boats in the estuary have been cleared, and the big boat is no longer like last night, and the estuary can be opened in two days at most.

Mo Zuo was checking the cleaning of the estuary below, and when he turned around and saw her standing on the second floor looking at the estuary, he went upstairs and walked to her side and said, "As long as the estuary is cleared, the boat will be able to transport things over, and the people here will also plan to let them leave by boat first." ”

"That's good, if you have food to bring you, you won't have to worry about eating. The people can help here, but if the rebels come in, they will get in the way. ”

Zhuang Rou said a little impersonally, but this is also a fact, it is better to send it away.

Mo Zuo frowned, "It's not because they're in the way, it's just because it's dangerous." ”

"If you go on, I'll be able to take in these women and children for you, because I want to be a matchmaker for your brother who has no wife. Their men were just captured, and maybe they would come back after destroying the rebels. Zhuang Rou looked at him and smiled.

Mo Zuo was paused by her, although he was embarrassed, but they did have this idea.

Without men, it is not easy for these women to support their families, so why not partner up and get married.

But he always felt that there was something unclear in her smile, so he said, "When the boat comes, you will leave with them." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Rou agreed without hesitation.

Mo Zuo, who thought she was going to be angry again, was stunned, "Why don't you refuse?" ”

Zhuang Rou was puzzled and said, "You are still not satisfied with my obedient return?" Why do you want to refuse, there is nothing to eat in this Hongzhou City, what am I doing here, that city is not something I can save with one fell swoop. ”

"I'm in a hurry here, I might as well go back to the capital to find the emperor and those ministers, and ask them why they haven't sent troops to relieve the siege of Hongzhou!" She scolded angrily.

Mo Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was better to let her go back to toss the emperor than to mess around here.

"Okay, you can have a good rest these days, and the ship will leave when it comes." He nodded and said, but he still kept an eye on it, not fully believing Zhuang Rou.

He still had a lot to do, so he went downstairs, and after a while, a refreshing woman went upstairs, saluted Zhuang Rou, and said that she was sent by General Mo to serve her.

Zhuang Rou knew that this was Mo Zuo's call to stare at her people, but she didn't mind accepting her at all.

She either eats or sleeps every day, or takes advantage of the good weather to move a chair out and sit on the dock to bask in the sun, and the small life is very comfortable.

And Yinba's injuries are also recovering rapidly, and they will soon be alive, but they are too fierce and ugly, and no one dares to approach it.

The woman also honestly brought her tea and water, cleaned the house, and found no suspicious place to go to report it.

Mo Zuo saw that Zhuang Rou was really honest, so he thought about what to do next, and stopped staring at Zhuang Rou.

The mouth of the river was opened the next day, and the news was sent out when the fish bay was taken back, and in the middle of the night on the fourth day, a boat quietly drove into the dock with a black light.

Mo Zuo sent people to move boxes of goods from the ship, and sent all the people onto the ship, so he sent someone to call Zhuang Rou.

However, the soldier came back crying, "General, the lady is not in the house, and even the general's brother-in-law is gone. ”

"His uncle, ran away again!" Mo Zuo scolded angrily, no wonder he has been so honest these days, it turned out to be a liar again, but he was fooled again!

Immediately, he also reacted, "Brother-in-law? What a brother-in-law! ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "General, isn't that beast the younger brother of Madame?" Isn't this the general's brother-in-law? ”

When Mo Zuo heard this, he scolded angrily: "I'll kick you to death, get out!" ”

With a curse, he kicked in the void, and the soldier immediately turned around and slipped away.
