Li Xiaoqi tilted his head to look at him, Su Zicheng seemed to remember something, and was about to speak for a moment, Dongping ran over in a few steps and reported with a smile: "Master, Chuzhou has been captured." Su Zicheng's eyebrows flew up and down, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "I'll let you escort you into the city, walk slowly on the road, it's best to go to the city in the evening, even if there is a street battle, it will definitely be over." ”

"Where are you going?" Li Xiaoqi was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Su Zicheng's sleeve and asked in fear, such a Shura hell, it is safest to follow him closely! Su Zicheng looked down at Li Xiaoyi's two hands that were clutching his sleeves, and explained in a daze: "I want to go outside Yangzhou City to see, this is the best time to go over, Yangzhou City hasn't gotten the letter from here yet, I'll go back quickly, I can rush back in the first half of the night, don't worry." Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng tangledly, she didn't worry about him, she didn't worry about herself, this hand, let go, reluctant, don't let go•••••• it seems a little unreasonable, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi's hand in a daze, loosened and tightened, but refused to let go, stayed for a long time and suddenly said in his heart: "I'll send you into the city first, go to Yangzhou and talk back, don't be in a hurry, you have to rest and recuperate after beating Chuzhou, first stabilize it, it's not too anxious." Li Xiaoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, let go of his hand, and muttered a little embarrassedly: "The prince is wise." ”

Li Xiaoqi was uncomfortable by Su Zicheng's look, and was busy looking for a topic: "Chuzhou is empty?" Knocked down so quickly? ”

"Well, Shi Guozhu is a fool, there are 5,000 people in the Tiger Wing Army, half of them meet the enemy, and the other half drives Shi Guozhu and hundreds of his own soldiers to Chuzhou, it seems that this idiot has really fled back to Chuzhou, and it is not easy to open the city gate with him, and it is not easy to take Chuzhou!" Su Zicheng explained with a relaxed smile, and Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a long time and said with a smile: "How dare he go back to Chuzhou?" This is also too ••••••" Li Xiaoqi didn't know how to describe it for a while, Su Zicheng stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's rush into Chuzhou to have a look, this battle is most afraid of defeat, defeat is like a mountain, this is the most dizzy, I led the troops to meet the enemy for the first time, and was rushed to the flanks, I was stunned at the time, and I wanted to run back, this Shi Guozhu has not gone through a big war, and he is a self-proclaimed Confucian general, I am afraid that he has not even killed anyone with his own hands, this defeat is naturally to flee home, let's go, go to Chuzhou to see." ”

The two got on the horse, Su Zicheng ran in the middle of the team, this way over, met seven or eight thousand teams to give orders, Wu Di's rout army was rarely encountered, before the time came, the group arrived outside the city of Chuzhou. Three or four miles away from Chuzhou City, Su Zicheng reined in his horse, looked at the black-bottomed Beiping Imperial Flag and the big flag embroidered with the huge 'Liang' character fluttering in the wind on the head of the city, nodded with satisfaction, shook the reins and just walked a few steps, a group of black horses rushed straight towards him, scattered around the small house and the guards, and entered the city.

At the gate of the city, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the city gate that looked almost no traces of a fight and the black-clothed soldiers nailed inside and outside the city gate, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the damage in Chuzhou is not as serious as imagined, entering the city gate, the city is full of green smoke, Li Xiaoyi's heart sank, walked dozens of steps and turned a corner, Li Xiaoqi was stunned to look at the brand-new ruins in front of him that were still flashing with sparks and green smoke, and the frightened figures appeared and disappeared from time to time among the ruins, and Li Xiaoyi's heart tightened, Turning his head sharply to look at the generals of the Tiger Wing Army around Gong Wei, as Su Zicheng said, the blood congealed on their faces and necks, and there were no blood stains on the black clothes and black armor, only it looked wet, Li Xiaoyi swallowed the words in his mouth, he couldn't blame them, if he took care of all kinds of things, maybe they wouldn't be able to live now.

Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Su Zicheng and asked in a low voice, "When will my people be able to enter Chuzhou?" It's •••••• hot day in this city, and the sooner the better. Su Zicheng hurriedly turned his head to look at Dongping, and Dongping replied with a smile: "I will leave before noon, and I will definitely be able to arrive in the first half of the night." Li Xiaoqi said 'um', Su Zicheng turned his head to look around and said, "Let Nanning bring a few people over to help you, don't worry, don't be tired." Li Xiaoqi exhaled, turned his head to look at Nanning and ordered: "Go to the Zhizhou Yamen and find all the living officials and officials." Nanning agreed, took a few small guys, asked for directions, and ran to the Yamen of Chuzhou.

The leader of the Tiger Wing Army next to him arched his hand and smiled: "Master, Fifth Master, Shi Guozhu and Zhizhou Wu Chengshan are now betting on the Yamen, and most of the Zhizhou Yamen has been burned, which is not very useful." Su Zicheng said 'um', and Li Xiaoqi nodded with a smile.

The group went straight to the yamen, behind the yamen is Shi Guozhu's residence, Shi Guozhu's family did not come to Chuzhou, there are only two concubines in the house who came to wait for the living, and they have already been imprisoned at this time, Dongping and people hurriedly entered the house to clean up everywhere, Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi got off the horse at the yamen, Su Zicheng turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and whispered: "Meet these two people first?" Li Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly, and the two entered the yamen one after the other, and after a while, several black-clothed guards carried Shi Guozhu and Wu Chengshan, the governor of Chuzhou, and threw them into the lobby.

Li Xiaoqi looked at the two carefully, Shi Guozhu was about forty years old, slightly fat, with a white and clean face, with a beard two or three inches long, a green gown, a green cloth wrap, except for the clothes that were tied up and wrinkled, next to it, it was clean and neat, Li Xiaoqi looked speechless, this Shi Guozhu is really a Confucian general, Wu Chengshan stood next to Shi Guozhu, looked at him with disdain, moved a little to the side, moved a little bit, moved a little more, Li Xiaoqi looked at him with interest, he was also about forty years old, wearing a white bamboo cloth gown, The person looked too dry and thin, his hair was gray, he was tied with an ebony hairpin, his face was wrinkled, his eyes were clear and sharp, and he looked like a clean official. Su Zicheng took the folding fan from Beiqing's hand and shook it, leisurely looking at Li Xiaoqi and looking at the two, Li Xiaoqi looked at it carefully, turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng Nunu mouthed, motioned for her to ask, Li Xiaoqi turned his head with a smile, crossed Shi Guozhu, looked at Wu Chengshan and asked with a smile: "Lord Wu, please take a seat." The little guy immediately sent a stool over, Wu Chengshan glanced at Li Xiaoqi out of the corner of his eye, slowly turned sideways with his hands behind his back, and looked at the roof beams proudly.

Su Zicheng moved and sat comfortably, looking at Wu Chengshan with interest, waiting to see the excitement, Li Xiaoqi didn't care, while watching the light moon make tea, he said with a smile: "The situation in Chuzhou City, Lord Wu knows?" Wu Chengshan raised his head and didn't say a word, Li Xiaoqi didn't care about him, and continued to say: "It seems that you don't know, let me tell you, coming in from the north gate, there is green smoke everywhere, and the houses along the street are burned and destroyed, according to the estimates I saw, the people in Chuzhou City, two or three out of dozens of victimized households, the most important thing now is to quickly relieve the people, apply medicine and grain, and settle the homeless people, how many households are there in this Chuzhou City?" Li Xiaoqi looked at Wu Chengshan and asked, Wu Chengshan's throat moved, he pursed his mouth tightly, and still didn't say a word, Li Xiaoqi sighed: "It seems that you don't know, there are generals like General Shi who drive soldiers to die, and there are three ignorant Zhizhou like you, only pity the people of Chuzhou!" Seeing that the people of Chuzhou were plagued by you and other beetles, and so suffered, how could our prince bear not to travel thousands of miles to save the people from hanging upside down? ”

Wu Chengshan's neck was bruised, and he pointed at Li Xiaoqi and scolded: "Villain! ”

"The villain still knows how to help the people, you are not as good as the villain!" Li Xiaoqi smiled and continued: "I have asked people to find this Chuzhou officials and officials, and when they come, you go back to Zhizhou Yamen with them, and quickly check the affected households, you look outside, seeing that it is going to rain, you have to settle people well, especially the old, weak, young, sick and injured, and there are wells everywhere, and people must take care of them••••••" Li Xiaoqi stared at Wu Chengshan closely, leisurely, sentence after sentence, Wu Chengshan's face turned from red to blue and then to white, pointing at Li Xiaoxiao's fingers and trembling, Li Xiaoqi took the tea handed by Danyue, slowly took two sips, looked at Wu Chengshan and said with a smile: "You are a Qing official, famous for loving the people like a son, this love for the people actually depends on how to love the law, such as the love of parents and children, as long as the people are good, fame and fortune can be put aside, and it is better to destroy oneself than to serve the people, a hundred years later, it can be regarded as a god by the people, one, holding the flag of loving the people, in fact, it is all for yourself to seek fame and profit, if for your own fame and fortune, you do not hesitate to drive the people to death, just to fulfill yourself and seek a name for a while before your death, Behind you is spurned and despised, Lord Wu, which one are you? ”

Wu Chengshan trembled angrily, choked in one breath, coughed violently, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, and then looked at Wu Chengshan, he really didn't know what to say, but he didn't plan to speak, Li Xiaoqi looked at Wu Chengshan with a smile, and slowly tasted the tea, as if he was not ready to say more.

Not long after, Nanning reported in, this time of hard work, only found the master and four servants, the rest are still searching, Li Xiaoqi nodded, looked at Wu Chengshan and indifferently ordered: "You go with Nanning, it's not early, it's hard tonight, settle the people and then rest, hurry up." Wu Chengshan's face was pale and gray, he looked at Li Xiaoqi blankly, and suddenly picked up his robe and rushed out, Beiqing muttered all the way to follow Nanning out to the door, and then turned back.

Shi Guozhu watched Wu Chengshan go straight out, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoqi with a nervous face, and then looked at Su Zicheng, but Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng as if there was no such person in the lobby at all, looked at Su Zicheng and sighed: "This Wu Chengshan is admirable, it's a pity!" Su Zicheng waved his hand, and several black-clothed guards stepped forward to drag Shi Guozhu down, Su Zicheng watched Shi Guozhu being dragged out of the door, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said strangely: "Didn't he descend?" ”

"He's ready to die! It's a pity to leave your name clear! We can't die at our hands! You let him go! Li Xiaoyi's mind turned quickly, and he said jumpingly, Su Zicheng was stunned, and immediately reacted and asked, "Where can I let him go?" Yangzhou? Still is? ”
