Zheng Jiu told Zhu Lin that the one who was slapped just now was the prison guard, and the one who beat people was the father-in-law who came out of the palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is here to proclaim. Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu, why was the eunuch so arrogant? Even Yuan Dashuai dared to scold. Zheng Jiu told Zhu Lin that because Yuan Dashuai went on the expedition, it was this group of eunuchs who did it. Originally, Yuan Conghuan wanted to defeat the displaced people in the west. Drill the soldiers well, and wait for the soldiers to have enough food before going to battle. Those eunuchs bewitched the emperor and asked Yuan Dashuai to go out first, and then find a way. Otherwise. Yuan Dashuai had already fought Huaicheng. It's because these soldiers were pulled into the battlefield before they were trained, so it was said that the fight was harder. It's also slow. If the speed is slow, the more grain and grass will be used. The unfair fathers were in a hurry, urging Yuan Dashuai to hurry up and fight it, so as to waste some grain and grass. The grain and grass should have arrived yesterday, but it has not arrived until now.

After listening to Zheng Jiu's words, Zhu Lin understood. These eunuchs are here to urge the war. Let the hurry up and fight, and the class teacher will return to the court. Everyone was happy.

But the soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and there was no grain and grass to fight. Zhu Lin asked again, why don't you collect grain and grass on the spot. Before Zheng Jiu could answer. I saw several more carriages coming in the distance.

The first carriage was driven by none other than Zhu Chengli. Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu walked to the door and waited. The carriage approached, and a carriage was full of children dressed similarly to Zhu Lin. One by one, they wore green cloth robes and square scarves on their heads. It's just too thin. The wide robe could not cover the thin body. The second brother sat in front of the carriage, wearing a polished shiny armor and a bowl helmet. Majestic drove the group of children there in a line. When everyone saw each other, Zhu Yi hugged Zhu Lin and cried. The crying was earth-shattering, so Zhu Chengli kicked it to stop.

The big guy finished greeting. Zhu Chengli asked the pawn to send the child to Zhu Lin's place. The rest of the people went in to meet the commander. A few carriages were parked outside, but they were covered with tarpaulins. I don't know what it is, but there are pawns guarding it there.

Zhu Lin walked into the back hall with everyone and found that the eldest brother was also in the back hall, and he was busy and didn't see Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi. Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi stood behind. Zhu Lin saw Zhu Chengli walk up to Yuan Dashuai and whisper a few words. Yuan Dashuai walked out in disbelief.

Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi went over there to find the eldest brother. The boss Zhu Zheng saw that Zhu Yi and Zhu Lin were coming, and put down the work in his hand. Then take the two to the side room. The three of them hugged their heads and cried.

Big brother Zhu Zheng: "Second, third, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to look for you." In the past two days, Commander Zhu took me to Jiangbei Mansion to receive grain, grass and ordnance. Now the eldest brother can't help himself, so he can only be a small official with the big handsome. Your arrangement, the marshal also told me. Big brother will no longer be able to take care of you in the future. I'm going to leave tomorrow, and the second brother will take good care of the third brother in the future, and the third brother will study here with peace of mind, and be admitted to the champion Guangzong Yaozu. Your eldest brother, I have only been a talent after so many years. Alas, I heard Da Shuai say that Uncle Zhu and Brother Zheng Jiu are going to stay, and I have already entrusted them to take good care of you two. By the way, there are still your clothes in this baggage, and I have asked the pawn to wash them for you. Take it away later. There is also Zhu Lin, there is a letter in the baggage, which was written by his father to his uncle before he died. If you keep it safe, if you can't do it, you will go to Lingnan to find your uncle." Zhu Zheng took a few more silver ingots and gave them to Zhu Yi. took two pieces of money and gave it to Zhu Lin. The angry Zhu Lin pursed his lips. Why don't you give yourself a silver ingot? Zhu Lin just wanted to ask his eldest brother for it. I only heard someone shouting outside the door: "Lord Zhu, the marshal is invited." Zhu Zheng answered and hurried out.

Zhu Lin asked the second brother to put the burden on his back and hurriedly went out. When I walked outside the yamen, I saw Yuan Dashuai calling Zhu Zheng over and instructing him. There was a circle of generals in helmet and armor around him. Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi wanted to go over, but were stopped by the pawn next to them. I can only watch from afar. A pawn turned over the oilcloth on the carriage, a group of generals pointed there, and Zhu Lin asked the second brother to pick him up and look inside, wanting to see what was covered under the oilcloth. When I saw it, my eyes widened. The carriages were filled with arquebuses, and they were brand new. There was a general who was still there holding a gesture. Zhu Lin understood, it turned out that Uncle Zhu was going to do such a thing these days. Boring. Zhu Lin, who has seen all kinds of advanced firearms in later generations, will not be interested in this kind of antique arquebus.

Zhu Lin shouted that the second brother went back to the house. Zhu Lin was in front, the second brother was behind, and the sturdy second brother walked behind as if he was a bodyguard. Zhu Lin was very satisfied.

In the prefect's yamen, Zhu Zheng was demonstrating the musket to Yuan Dashuai and the soldiers. "Bang bang bang" is not enjoyable. Yuan Dashuai saw that the musket hit the target in front of him with sawdust. He asked, "Zhu Zheng, did you get this batch of firecrackers directly from Gonggong Wei?"

"Yes, I would like to say hello. Gonggong Wei delivered a total of 2,000 guns and 3,000 catties of gunpowder. We first took 200 guns and 500 catties of gunpowder first, and the latter was personally escorted by Gonggong Wei. Zhu Zheng replied. 2,000 pieces, enough to form a Shenji battalion. The generals next to him talked about it.

"That's good, as long as it's not made by the equipment supervision under the Ministry of Engineering, those bastards, the fire guns made by those equipment supervisors last time can make Ben Shuai and the generals miserable." When the generals heard this, they all said there that they would like to be the same muskets from last time. You don't even need to kill it. Instead of killing the enemy, he killed a lot of his own men.

"This batch of muskets was personally supervised by Gonggong Wei, and he said that there was absolutely no problem. Zhu Zheng said beside him.

"Okay, let's hand over all these firecrackers to Vice General Wen. Adjutant General Wen's infantry battalion died a lot during the siege of the city. It just so happened that all these firecrackers were replenished to him. The Jiabu Battalion was changed to the Divine Mecha Battalion".

"Thank you for the cultivation." Vice General Wen's body wrapped in gauze was bowed upside down.

"All the generals are scattered, go back to reorganize the army, and as soon as the ordnance arrives, attack immediately."

The "No" crowd will disperse by itself.

On the official road from Jiangbei Mansion to Sicheng, under the scorching sun, a team of carriages slowly moved forward. The flags hung listlessly, and the wagons were covered with thick tarpaulins. There is a carriage in the middle that is a bit special, a group of carriages with a shed roof, and it is the kind of wood hollow carriage, the roof of the carriage is painted with red paint, which is very eye-catching from a distance. The carriage circled around several horseback riders to follow. It's all dressed up. In the carriage sat a man wearing a Qiaoshi crown and a red over-the-shoulder python robe, with a white face and beard, and gloomy eyes. I saw him slowly say to the coachman in front of him: "Where have you gone, when will you be able to get to Sicheng." It's so hot here! There's not even a shadow. It's hot to death in our house. ”

"Tell my father-in-law, this place is called Yangliu Village, and you can go to Sicheng before the lantern at night. A man in a green cloth suit on horseback replied.

"What Yangliu Village, how do we think there is not even a tree in this vicinity? There are no trees. Go get some water, we're all thirsty." As he spoke, he looked out, and his eyes were yellow, and the tree next to him was dead. From a distance, there was not a single seedling on the cracked earth, and the ditches and ravines next to it had all dried up. It was also a place where there was a dense water network before.

"Factory, give water. Next to him, there was a little father-in-law wearing a green suit, a blue belt around his waist, and a token on his belt, who took off his skin and handed it over.

"Well, yes, it's not a loss to be the godson of our family. As he spoke, the father-in-law of the yin owl picked up the water bladder and drank it. After drinking, he threw the skin bag to the little father-in-law, and pondered there: This business trip is a big loss, how can I remember this business trip. Originally, I thought that what I grabbed from the hand surnamed Hong was Meicha! I didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot, and I couldn't get the money. We have to put money upside down. Looking at the carriages in front and behind, they were all smashed out of their own silver. I don't know if the Holy One will change his impression of our family after this errand is completed. Hmph! The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, do you think that you and the partner surnamed Hong deceived the Holy Lord and suppressed the Holy One. If you drive me out, will the Holy One believe you? Your Empress Dowager's nephew is in charge of the ordnance supervised by the Inspector of Equipment, which is shoddy, and last time he almost let the rogues from the west occupy the central capital. If it weren't for the strength of the surnamed Yuan to turn the tide, the head of the queen mother's nephew would have fallen to the ground. This time, our family sent such a big love to the surname Yuan, and let the surname Yuan burn the fire again. That's it. Lao Hong, the celebrant supervisor, you are good-looking. Thinking of this, the father-in-law of the yin owl touched the secret decree in his arms and smiled yin.

Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi returned to the Zhu family's small house, where Zhu Chengli was arranging for a group of children to clean the house and move things. Busy in full swing.

Zhu Chengli saw Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi walking in, knelt down and shouted, "My subordinates see the second young master, the little young master." The children next to him also hurriedly knelt down to see.

"Uncle Zhu, you can't do it, you can't do it. If you see it like this, the little nephew will lose his life." Zhu Lin hurriedly took a few steps up and picked up Zhu Chengli. Zhu Chengli stood up and pulled Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi to the front and shouted to the children: "This is the second young master, this is the little young master, you have to be careful in the future." Originally, you were prisoners of war who had been captured by the commanders, and according to the law you were to be put to death. Grace to the handsome, let you come to serve the young masters, you need to repay you well, you know? Go and get busy, pack up your house, and have a good night."

"Yes. The children knelt there and shouted. Then the uproar dispersed. The children were no older than thirteen or fourteen years old. The youngest was only seven or eight years old. All of them are weak and thin. There was a child, not tall but strong.

In previous lives, these children should have been at the age of reading and playing in school. But here, you have to learn to serve people and do some rough work from a young age. If it weren't for the handsome man to take him in, maybe these children, including Zhu Lin, would not have been killed. It was to starve to death. If you don't make it, you will be slaughtered and eaten as a two-legged sheep. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard.

Zhu Lin said to Zhu Chengli: "Uncle Zhu, see if there is any meat on the street, buy more." Grab some more wine and arrange for someone who can cook to cook a good meal for the child. In the evening, I invite you and Brother Zheng Jiu to drink, Second Brother, take off your armor, aren't you tired of dressing? After speaking, Zhu Lin took out the two pieces of money given by the eldest brother just now and gave it to Zhu Chengli and asked him to procure it.

"Well, I'll go." After speaking, Zhu Chengli took two slightly older children to buy. Zhu Lin and Zhu Yi went to the back hall. Coming to the back hall, Zhu Lin entered his house. Sit there and think quietly. I heard a commotion, needless to say, the second brother took off his armor there. This second brother, who can't shoot a fart with three legs, is not too tired after wearing armor for a day.

"Third brother, this silver is given to you, and the second brother doesn't need it." With that, Zhu Yi walked in in a power suit. Put the baggage on the bed.

"Second brother, I don't need any silver, this is given to you by the eldest brother, you can keep it."

"Third brother, you and eldest brother are both smart and assertive. Your second brother and I are stupid. I don't know how to spend the money. Now that the eldest brother is not here, it is all left to you to arrange, the second brother originally wanted to go to the battlefield, but Uncle Zhu didn't let me, he asked me to protect you well. Since I can't go to the battlefield, I will protect my brother well until I die, but my brother will be the first to look forward." After Zhu Yi finished panting, he turned around and went back. When these words came out, Zhu Lin was embarrassed. Silly second brother, how can you say that between brothers. When he first came, it didn't look like the second brother was stupid. Why is it so difficult to say a word now? However, the words just now made Zhu Lin's eyes burst into tears. This second brother is really a straight ass. Zhu Lin muttered.
