The eastern area of Huangsha County is a continuous military camp surrounded by high walls, and it is not a simple cowhide tent, but a real row of stone houses, living in it, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also resist the grinding wind and sand blowing from the north, which shows the intentions of the imperial court back then.

At this time, the garrison team from the border army has all been withdrawn, and the whole camp is inevitably a little deserted.

Said to be the army, in fact, it is just a militia, these are all young people directly recruited from the local area, the number is only thirty, but they are not slacking off because of this, but they are all dressed neatly, following the slogan of the old man boxing, the moves are not complicated, there are just a few moves back and forth, all of them are simple military body boxing, but these thirty young men are very vigorous, gathered in one place, but it is quite powerful, and there is no difference from the real Youzhou army, which shows the ability of the old man on the stage.

And this old man is Zhu Dachun, originally a veteran of the Youzhou Army, just because of his leg injury and his age, so he had to leave the team that had stayed all his life and returned to his hometown, for this result, the old man never complained about the court, after returning at that time, when the imperial court was just about to build Huangsha County, many local families in Youzhou sent a caravan on behalf of the influx here, Zhu Dachun was hired by a big family to be the head of the guard, all the way here, married a wife and had children, and stayed for more than 20 years, even if the three subordinate towns of Huangsha County were lost later, the situation was extremely critical, the court almost gave up this place, and he did not leave with the caravan, but he stayed here firmly and became a native of Huangsha County.

After that, the old man made the military book of the military room of the county government of Huangsha County, and was the city defense chief who led the entire militia team, but it was a pity that Xu Sanjin, the later magistrate of the county, wanted to work with him to covet the money issued by the imperial court, and let him directly dismiss the militia team, but you must know that this militia team is his life's work, and the achievement of the old man's life lies in this, how could Zhu Dachun agree, after falling out with Xu Sanjin, Xu Sanjin, who was angry, originally wanted to dismiss him directly and be investigated and imprisoned for persecution, but Zhu Dachun had a high reputation in this Huangsha County, Xu Sanjin was originally seeking money, greedy for silver, and he couldn't harm Zhu Dachun, so he gave up。

Although he has no money, the old man himself does not intend to give up, not to mention living in such a place, if there are no soldiers, it means that the tiger has no minions, and he is not waiting for someone to rob him? Even for the sake of himself and his family, and for the sake of the people of Liangguo in this county, the militia must not be disbanded just now.

Zhu Dachun knows very well that Xu Sanjin is an outsider in the end, that is, he came to scrape the ground, he doesn't care what kind of mess he will leave for latecomers, and he won't care about the life and death of the people in this city, but his Zhu Dachun's home is here, he can't leave, he wants to protect Huangsha County!

It's a pity that this is only a team of about 30 people, if you want to guard an entire county, it is really a fool's dream, but it is also because of the reason that you can't pay the money, the original militia team has more than 100 people, and today, there are only more than 30 people left who are willing to insist on participating in training without money, and help defend the city together, this is still relying on the prestige and connections accumulated by the old man over the years, otherwise who will do the work without money?

When Gu Xuan walked in from outside, it happened to be time to eat, after the grain and grass snatched out of the yamen were eaten, this routine three meals could only be provided by Zhu Dachun himself, and there were not many things, a piece of naan for one person, a small handful of pickles, this is all, to be honest, he couldn't afford to provide more, so he also had a big quarrel with his daughter-in-law, saying that he was doing porcelain work to make up the broken pot - nothing to do, the old man didn't care much on the surface, but he knew the sadness in it.

Suddenly seeing an outsider breaking in, and it was not a familiar face, Zhu Dachun immediately stood up from the long open-air dining table and shouted at Gu Xuan: "What kind of person? Don't you know that this is a military camp? Hurry up and go out, next time trespassing, don't blame me for being unkind!"

As he spoke, the old man dragged his slightly lame sick leg, calmly faced, and limped forward, and the militiamen also dropped the naan and pickles in their hands, and stood behind the old man with fierce eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Gu Xuan explained loudly from afar: "Mr. Zhu doesn't have to be so nervous, I am the newly sealed king of Hedong County in the imperial court, this Huangsha County is the fief of this king, this king only came here this morning, after hearing some things about Lord Zhu in the yamen, he was very curious, so he came to visit, if there is anything to disturb, please bear with me." ”

The people he faces are different, Gu Xuan's attitude is naturally different, for Xu Sanjin's kind of dog official who has lost his conscience, he naturally won't give a good face in person, but after listening to Zhu Dachun's deeds, Gu Xuan knew that this was a usable person, and his tone was naturally a little polite, Corporal Lixian is also one of the important qualities of the king.

After hearing this, the old man didn't give a good face, but snorted coldly, stood in front of Gu Xuan with his hands on his chest, and said with disdain: "Heh, the prince of the imperial court, so what? What, after listening to Xu Sanjin's villain's words, the prince is coming to cure my crime?"

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the thirty sturdy young men behind him suddenly became extremely unkind, as if they were about to do something if they didn't agree with each other.

Gu Xuan finally understood what the people's style was, and they all showed their identity as princes, and from the outside all the way to here, none of these people were afraid.

Gu Xuan sighed helplessly, and hurriedly explained: "The old gentleman misunderstood, Zai Xia is different from Xu Sanjin's kind of person, Xu Sanjin will leave sooner or later, naturally he can fish as much as he can, and he can completely ignore the life and death of the people of Huangsha County, but Huangsha County is now in the fiefdom of Xia, Huangsha County has been tied up with Zaixia, Huangsha County is good, I can be good, Huangsha County is bad, it is not good for me, and the court will finally treat me for the crime of poor jurisdiction, does the old gentleman understand?"

In order to bring the relationship between the two closer, he no longer calls himself the king, anyway, he is not used to using this title himself, this statement, he knows it with reason, and moves it with affection, Zhu Dachun's expression on the opposite side has eased a lot, and his hand has been put down.

"Then what is the purpose of the prince coming here today?"

Gu Xuan didn't answer directly, but threw out a bombshell news again: "Don't hide it from the old man, Xu Sanjin's dog official has been beheaded by me on the street!"

"Huh?"

This time Zhu Dachun himself was taken aback, although he was dissatisfied with Xu Sanjin's actions, but he didn't expect this newcomer to be so ruthless, he knew the county in one place, and killed him if he said to kill, looking at him like that, it seems that it is no different from killing a chicken, and secretly said that this young man is not simple, but he is afraid that he is an ambitious person.

Seeing that the expression on Zhu Dachun's face kept changing, Gu Xuan knew that it was estimated that the other party was thinking nonsense, so he hurriedly said: "Killing Xu Sanjin is not only because he is corrupt and perverts the law, does the old gentleman still remember the lady Zhu Dachun married?"

"Naturally remember. Speaking of this, Zhu Dachun's face suddenly darkened, and his voice became low, "That's a hard-working woman, her husband died in battle twenty years ago, leaving their mother and son to live a difficult life。。。。。。 Alas, it's all my fault, blame me for standing by. ”

He had just fallen out with Xu Sanjin at that time, and everyone was still in prison, if it weren't for his relatives and friends to organize the people to go to the county government to put pressure on him, he himself estimated that he would have to die unjustly in the end, where would he have time to take care of others, this matter is really not to blame him, but the old man is kind-hearted, and he was a veteran of the Youzhou Army, so he naturally thinks that it is his dereliction of duty not to take care of the widow of the martyr.

Gu Xuan also said indignantly: "Don't hide it from the old man, that woman is the sister-in-law of one of my guards, this Xu Sanjin forcibly occupied the widow of the martyr, ignoring human feelings and law, and ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for his crimes! This is the reason why he really deserves to die!"

Saying this, Zhu Dachun felt even closer to the young county prince in front of him, after all, he used to be a soldier in Youzhou, how could he not be happy if the other party cared so much about the soldiers and their families?

Gu Xuan continued to hit the railroad while it was hot: "Speaking of which, my guard was originally also from the Youzhou army, and the old gentleman has to see it in time, so he may have a lot to say." ”

"That's a good feeling. Speaking of colleagues in the Youzhou Army, the old man began to dance again, decades of military career, the army to him, that is an undefiled sacred pure land, can meet former colleagues, boast to each other about the things of the year, that is the happiest thing in the old man's life.

Gu Xuan then said: "Now that the garrison has withdrawn, the city defense has to rely on ourselves, and when we come down, I want to ask the old gentleman to go to the county government to talk about the next city defense and conscription work, after all, these are the top priorities for the safety of the people in a city." ”

Finally got to the point, the old man also looked solemn, he knew the good intentions of the other party, he did not send someone to invite him, but came directly to invite him, this is a great face, he had to give, and after a conversation, he also liked the little prince's temperament and way of speaking, and he did not doubt what he said, so he naturally agreed at the moment, nodded, and went directly to the people behind him.

"Okay, the children will go to the city to stand up after eating, don't be lazy, old man, I want to follow the prince to the county government first, and when I come back, I see that the city is not there, and I won't use it tomorrow!
