Chapter 226 is full of doubts
"The real person is not careful, is the old way still here with you, otherwise why is there a talisman seal hanging at this gate, what is the purpose?" Uncle Li thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't hold back, and finally released the fire in his heart.
"Huh?" Shen Ruchao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the origin of Li Shu'er's anger, and hurriedly explained: "That old Taoist saw that there were frequent wars in Cangzhou City, and he had already smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and he slipped away, and the lower officials were also happy to send them out of the country. And can send a hundred ghosts to guard the government to prevent those long-haired sneak attacks, the official naturally will not all hope for these left-handed techniques, just listen to them, but also to calm people's hearts, boost morale, and hope that the old gods will understand. ”
"Oh? It is said that demons come out of troubled times, could it be that these so-called exotic people in the rivers and lakes are demon hunters, and they are here to catch demons? As soon as he heard that Shen Ruchao had recruited a group of warlocks who had gone to the rivers and lakes, Uncle Li couldn't help but wonder, he really wanted to meet those warlocks, and to see where they were sacred, and why he chose this chaotic Cangzhou City as a place to live.
Seeing that Uncle Li insisted on seeing those warlocks, Shen Ruchao naturally didn't dare to stop him, so he had to reply with a sad face: "If you go back to the old immortals, those strange warriors in the rivers and lakes must be commanding soldiers on the city tower to fight against that long hair, if you want to see them, you have to go to the city tower, but now this cannon is flying sideways, for fear of accidentally injuring the old fairy's golden body, this, this ......"
Seeing that Shen Ruchao was so difficult, Uncle Li laughed and said: "Shen Zhizhou is too worried, the real person is the body of the Dao, how can those anti-iron tools hurt me?" Besides, the real person also wants to go up to the city tower to watch the enemy plundering the battle, since that day Lin Fengxiang let us leave the camp, I have not met the old man, the real person really wants to see how those long hairs can become so fierce, and go to see and discuss. ”
After that, Uncle Li walked in the direction of the lobby by himself, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue naturally followed closely, Shen Ruchao did not dare to disobey Uncle Li'er's wishes, and hurriedly beckoned the staff and officials to protect Uncle Li, and he followed behind and walked towards the direction of the city tower together.
At this time, the density of the Taiping army's shelling outside the city has weakened, and occasionally only sporadic shells fly by, along the way, watching those soldiers bravely carry out the corpses from the collapsed ruins, and some people are crying bitterly, while dousing the burning house with water, Li Shu'er and those staff, the messengers are all sad, very uncomfortable, Shen Ruchao in the back is even more like ashes, and several times with sleeves to cover their faces, feeling ashamed of Cangzhou's fathers.
After walking for half an hour, Li Shu'er and the others arrived at the south gate, where the battle was most tense, and it was also the most intensive place for the Taiping army. On the city tower, those soldiers whose faces and bodies were blackened by gunpowder smoke saw Uncle Li, and their blood-red eyes, which were burned by fire and hatred, burst out with a glimmer of hope, and they threw down their guns, bird guns, bows and arrows, spears and waist knives in their hands one by one, and knelt down along the city tower, and greeted Uncle Li one after another. The sentry in charge of the lookout hurriedly sent people to report the situation to the former enemy commander Ji Wenyuan.
Besides, Uncle Li waved his hand on the city tower to let those soldiers get up, and then he would lean out from the battlements between the city walls and look down, and found that between the months and more, the area of the Taiping army's military camp had expanded by nearly half, and secretly calculated that the current military strength of the Taiping army was at least more than 30,000 people, and the army of 30,000 tigers and wolves was blocked by the miscellaneous army of 3,000 Qing demons.
Li Shu'er looked at it for a while, and saw that the city was full of soldiers from Cangzhou City, but he didn't find any strange people in the rivers and lakes, and looked at Shen Ruchao with some doubts in his heart, Shen Ruchao naturally knew Li Shu'er's intentions, so he asked the officer who looked like him: "This official and ask you, what about the heroes who assisted in the defense?" ”
The general looked at Shen Ruchao with a sad face and replied: "Back to the adult's words, Fang Changmao dispatched a death squad, wearing felt and other items, making a fuss about our guns and wanted to rush to the city wall to place gunpowder to blow up the city base, seeing that those long hairs were about to rush over, those Taoist masters were really good men, one by one, their eyes were angry, they jumped down from the wall, the big knife in their hands rolled, and they cut down a few long hairs in an instant. It's life and death unknown, hey......"
Before the general voice fell, the soldiers on the city wall all looked at Shen Ruchao with a sad face, which showed that what the general said was true.
Hearing this, Shen Ruchao's eyes were also moist, and he bowed to the sky and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, for my Cangzhou City is to throw his head and spill blood, such as the tide to remember the five, if the heavens are merciful, the saint is blessed, protect my Cangzhou City to avoid this catastrophe, should be for all the good men to set up an ancestral hall to worship for the world, and the name will be passed on forever!" ”
On that side, under the infection of Shen Ruchao's sincere feelings and sad voice, the soldiers and braves all over the city were filled with righteous indignation, and their hearts were full of the passionate generosity of killing the enemy to serve the country and protect their hometown. On the other hand, Uncle Li squinted at Shen Ruchao and the others coldly, and the expression on his face was unpredictable and unfathomable.
Fortunately, those soldiers had long been accustomed to Uncle Li's unfathomable and profound expression, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the old fairy's expression, but Shen Ruchao observed Uncle Li's expression from time to time with the corner of his eye, and there seemed to be something hidden in his heart.
Since cultivating for more than a month, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue's perception ability has improved dramatically compared to the past, and they all have a keen sense of subtle changes in the outside world, so Shen Ruchao's subtle movements and expressions did not escape their eyes, looking at Shen Ruchao, who was roaring hoarsely like a drama actor, Yang Yi and the others were not only encouraged and brought into it, but they had a trace of confusion in their hearts, but they couldn't tell why.
Seeing that Shen Ruchao had already shouted in a hoarse voice, Uncle Li stepped forward to stop his speech and said: "If those warlocks really died generously for the sake of Li Min's life, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and Lord Zhizhou doesn't have to be too sad, it's better to rectify the sergeants and prepare to deal with the attack of Long Mao." ”
Shen Ruchao looked at Uncle Li, and saw that Uncle Li's eyes reflected the images of the wounded soldiers who were lying crooked at the battlement, and his face also showed a sad and compassionate look, so he was relieved in his heart, so he suppressed his tears and commanded the general to treat the wounded soldiers, and then prepare the lead gunpowder and fierce fire oil tanks and other equipment to defend the city, so as to fight again.
After watching for a while, the soldiers of the other team went up to the city tower, and changed the guards who were already poorly equipped, Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue followed Shen Ruchao, and went down to the city tower with those soldiers who went down to the city to rest, and returned to the palace.
This time, Uncle Li did not refuse Shen Ruchao's request to let them live in the mansion, but happily agreed, which surprised Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue.
Taking advantage of Shen Ruchao's shouting to arrange a guest room for Uncle Li, Uncle Li approached Yang Yi and them, and said with a narrow smile: "At present, the army is in chaos, if we live outside, I'm afraid even eating will be a problem, this is a yamen, and three meals a day are still guaranteed, what's the matter, uncle, I'm an old traitor, hehe"
"Poof", Yang Yi sprayed the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, looked at Uncle Li helplessly and praised: "Look at your appearance, oops, I really admire you so much, really!" ”
Uncle Li rolled his eyes and said, "You are not as fucking as good as Ergou, and good words sound awkward." ”
As soon as he saw Uncle Li praising himself, Wei Ergou squeezed him with a wicked smile and said, "Come on, uncle, don't stop me with words, to be honest, if it weren't for the lightning fast, I would have said this sentence first." No, you're too off the chain. Don't forget that you are a fairy, your identity is sitting there, why do you have to have an old lady's urinal, hold a little, how can you be polite and you take it seriously, it's too cheap, hehe"
"Hey, the two little kings and eight lambs, it's hard, it's sunburning, isn't it, if I don't get rid of the family method and gather you today, I'm sorry for my violent temper......" Li Shu'er saw Yang Yi and Wei Ergou singing and laughing at themselves, he was really anxious, he took off the old cotton shoes on his feet and was about to throw them at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, thanks to Liu Ruoxue's sharp eyes, she saw Shen Ruchao leading an errand back, and quickly got up to block Uncle Li, and Uncle Li took the opportunity to put on the shoes, only to avoid letting Shen Ruchao see a big scene of the old fairy throwing shoes.
Entering the lobby, Shen Ruchao told Uncle Li apologetically that the guest rooms in the county government had been demolished, and the wood had been moved to repair the fortifications, so he had to clean up the three ear rooms next to the sixth room.
Uncle Li is an old fritter, of course, he said with a smile on his face that everything was simple in the extraordinary period. Then accompanied by Shen Ruchao, he went to the ear room.
Yang Yi and Wei Ergou have also come to the government with Li Shu'er several times before, and they know that they enter directly through the archway from here, and after a considerable distance is the lobby and the warm pavilion, that is, the office of Zhizhou's ordinary trial, followed by the second hall of Zhizhou and the staff to discuss and meet guests, and then go back to the door, which is the third hall, that is, the inner house where the chief official's family is located.
This place is far away from the lobby, it is said that with Shen Ruchao's consistent and respectful attitude towards Li Shu'er, it seems that Li Shu'er should not be settled here to rest, is it really as he said, the entire county government has been demolished and has nowhere to stay?
