Zhu Long didn't believe in evil, strode over, and was about to scold, when the man suddenly sighed resentfully and turned around.

He looked at it and saw that it was Mrs. Li, the wife of "Why" Li Ying.

"Zhu Daguan, are you back?" When Mrs. Li saw Zhu Long, she showed a look of surprise, then bowed slightly, bowed, and turned her head a little shyly.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Li, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Zhu Long was also a little embarrassed, since the last time he accompanied her to Lijiazhuang, he often thought of her, but because she was a married woman and was afraid of other people's gossip, he broke his thoughts.

She glanced at Zhu Long deeply, the autumn waves flowed, and then she was gloomy, and said quietly: "The slave family is no longer Mrs. Li!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Long didn't understand what she meant.

"Li Ying has already divorced me!"

Zhu Long was stunned for a moment and understood what was going on.

It should be that Li Ying was sent to Shamen Island, and when the Li family went to see him off, Li Ying divorced his wife.

"Master Li Zhuang doesn't want to delay his husband's youth, he is really a good man!" Although he was secretly happy in his heart, he did respect Li Ying.

"Huh!" Mrs. Lee's laughter was full of sarcasm.

Zhu Long looked at her puzzled.

"He was afraid that I would take away his son's property!"

Zhu Long was confused and said, "Isn't his son the son of Furao?" ”

Mrs. Li shook her head and said lightly: "He was born to his first wife, I have been married to him for so many years, and I have not given birth." ”

Zhu Long subconsciously looked at her figure, not like a woman who can't have children!

Women are always perceptive, especially beautiful women, and she immediately notices his gaze and gives him a shyly look.

Zhu Long scratched his head in embarrassment, quickly changed the topic, and said, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

"I wish the officials don't call me 'madam'!"

"So—what should I call it next?"

Her face was slightly red, and her voice was inaudible: "The slave family's name is Lin Chuman." ”

"Lin Chuman......" Zhu Long chanted a few times and praised: "What a good name!" ”

Then she was embarrassed again, did she call her "Miss Lin" or "Lin Chuman"? Or "Chu Man"?

After thinking about it, I feel that "Miss Lin" is not school, and "girl" refers to the yellow flower girl who has not yet married, and it is ridiculous to call her so.

It's even more forbidden to call her "Lin Chuman", in ancient times, it was very impolite to call others by name, and it would generally only appear on the opposing sides of the battlefield.

"Paddle Chuman"? Wouldn't it be too intimate?

By the way, what does Ximenqing call Pan Jinlian - ahh

"That, that...... Hatsuman, can I call you that? Zhu Long's heart fluttered twice, and his old face was slightly red.

Lin Chuman's face was even more red, his face turned to the side, and after a while, he whispered: "When the slave family was in her mother's house, the family called me Manniang. ”

When she was done, she suddenly felt her face burn.

"Manniang!" Zhu Long called softly, feeling that it was really as good as his name.

The moonlight is hazy, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the beauty is wonderful.

Zhu Long felt as if he was in a wonderful dream, but Lin Chuman felt that he was very ashamed of a man who gave his name, and ran away shyly.

Zhu Long looked at her departing back, lost in his heart, returned to the room, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

He didn't know that Lin Chuman at this time was also facing the moonlight, and his heart was sweet for a while and sad for a while.

She is a woman who has been married and abandoned by her husband, and she is four years older than Zhu Long, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Zhu Long to marry her, and it is almost the same to take her as a concubine.

As soon as she thought of this, she felt sorry for herself, why was she so much older than him, why didn't she know him earlier......

The bright moon shines on the lonely shadow, and the beautiful woman wanders alone, turning her guts into a sigh.

……

Autumn is strong, the west wind is bleak, and the cold moon is shining.

Outside the city of Guangji Army, an army was stationed, and the tents stretched for two miles.

It was a well-trained army, with sharp armor, sharp weapons, discipline, and order.

Hu Yanzhuo stood on the city wall, looking at the army below, and his heart swelled with infinite pride.

This was the first time he led the army as the chief general of the three armies.

As a descendant of the founding general Hu Yanzan, he has always wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors.

In order to realize his dream, he practiced martial arts hard, read military books well, and when he grew up, he enlisted in the army and fought for the country, and was awarded the post of commander of Runing County.

If he is a son of a poor family, he should be satisfied with this position, but he is a famous family and has great ambitions.

During his tenure, he trained soldiers and pacified the locality, and the mountain bandits and robbers in the territory were empty.

However, he was not promoted because of this, and he has not moved his position for many years.

This time, Zhu Long rebelled, and the imperial court had no soldiers and no generals to send.

Maybe it's because in the first month of last year, he went to Gao Yu's house to worship the New Year and sent some local products, Gao Taiwei remembered him at this time, and tried his best to protect it in front of Emperor Daojun.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you succeed in recovering Dongping Mansion, exterminate the Zhu family's army, capture the thief Zhu Long alive, and then tie up Gao Yu, then the promotion is just around the corner!

Thinking of this, he was full of pride in his heart and felt that the future was bright.

What is the Zhu family army, dare to fight against the imperial court soldiers.

As soon as General Huyan arrived, he would not be swept away by the wind and clouds, and obediently offered his head for military merit!

He's confident!

He looked at the two lieutenant generals around him, "Baisheng General" Han Tao and "General Eye" Peng Xi, and said with a smile: "The Wang Jun envoy of the Guangji Army is too polite, he has to invite the three of us to the banquet, and the general is not good at refuting his face, so he has to come, I didn't expect the Wang Jun envoy to persuade him to drink diligently, I really can't resist it, if it weren't for the two virtuous brothers, I'm afraid I would have to drink!" ”

Han Tao is the training envoy of the Chenzhou regiment, Peng Xi is the training envoy of the Yingzhou regiment, the three of them met when they were in the border army, they have been friends for many years, and Hu Yanzhuo knows their skills very well.

The two of them are not very strong in martial arts, but they have a very good set of military training, so he asked Gao Yu for these two people by name.

Most of the troops in the battalion below were his subordinates, and they were indeed well-trained and orderly, no worse than the soldiers he had brought from Runing County.

Han Tao complimented: "The commander is too self-disciplined, as soon as he enters the army, he doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, which is admirable!" ”

The three of them were chatting when they suddenly heard a commotion from the city wall, and when they got closer, they saw a group of soldiers gathering together to gamble.

The three of them looked at each other, and when they went further, they saw that many soldiers were either drinking or gambling, and some were fighting and fighting, very casual, and there was no military discipline at all.

Peng Xi sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the Guangji Army, as the main road of Caoyun, would have military discipline collapsed!" ”

Guangji Army does not refer to an army, but a local administrative region, at the same level as the prefecture and prefecture, and is generally a military town, or a critical pass, and the commander is the "Zhijun", also known as the military envoy.

The name of the Guangji Army is derived from the Guangji River, and it was also established because of this river.

This river is not an ordinary river, it was originally the upstream river of Jishui, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was artificially widened and deepened, and became one of the four major canals of the imperial court.

It was from Tokyo that Huyanzhuo's army set out from Tokyo, followed the river, passed through Xingren Province, and arrived at the territory of the Guangji Army.

The three of them were still in high spirits just now, but now they saw that the Guangji Army was so loose, and they thought that for more than ten years, everything they had seen and heard was like this, from the emperor and ministers, down to the officials and soldiers, all of them were rotten, and they were suddenly happy, so they went down to the city tower, out of the city gate, and returned to Zheng in the barracks

As soon as he entered the barracks, a military official stepped forward to report: "Lord Commander, several officials from Dongping Mansion have come to tell you about the military situation!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo's expression froze, and he said, "Bring it quickly!" ”

……

Half an hour later, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Xi were in the military tent, analyzing the information they had just obtained from the officials of Dongping Mansion.

Hu Yanzhuo's voice was a little excited, and he asked, "Two virtuous brothers, do you think what these people say is credible?" ”

"Eight points credible!" Han Tao said: "We asked them separately, what they have in common should not be fake." ”

Peng Xi shook his head and said, "Since they came together, how could they not collude in advance?" ”

Han Tao said with a smile: "When I was in Chenzhou, I had a good relationship with the head catcher who arrested thieves, and this person has a lot of ability to solve cases.

Even if he colludes to confess, he can't stand up to interrogation, and many details can only be found out through real personal experience. Those who collude can only make an appointment in advance.

I just interrogated them separately, such as the color of the thief's armor, whether the horsemen were in front or the infantry in front, and many other things that would not collude at all, and their answers were very similar, so I don't think they were sent by Zhu Long. ”

Hu Yanzhuo nodded, "Ben Jiang also thinks that what they are doing is true!" In this way, the strength of the thief army is only about 5,000, including about 1,000 cavalry, and the strength is inferior to ours! ”

"Not bad!" Peng Xi nodded, and said confidently: "Our army has 8,000 men and horses, the thief army is only 5,000, our army has 3,000 cavalry, and the thief army is only 1,100." Moreover, our army received enough equipment from the Tokyo armor staff storehouse, the armor and weapons were complete, and they were well-trained, in fact, those thieves could be compared! ”

Hu Yanzhuo got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall, which was Dongping Mansion, which was marked with two big marks, one was Dongping Mansion City, and the other was Zhujiazhuang. His finger moved across the map, and finally pointed to Zhujiazhuang:

Now that the thief army knows that it is invincible, it has given up Dongping Mansion and hid in Zhujiazhuang. We don't have to go to Dongpyeongfu, we will speed up tomorrow, enter Jeju, and then head northwest, from Yuncheng County to Shouzhang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Dongpyeongfu! Attack Zhujiazhuang and wipe out Zhu Long and his men!

Tomorrow, the three watches will make rice, the five watches will set off, and within the three, the soldiers will come to Zhujiazhuang! ”

Hu Yanzhuo looked at Han Tao and Peng Xi solemnly, and encouraged: "Two virtuous brothers, promoted to the rank of knight, and named their wives and sons, they will fight here, and we will encourage them together!" ”
