Everyone rushed to Lincheng, the army was stationed outside the city, Qin Erliang held Yue'er's body and came to a small village outside the city, with Yi Xiaodao and Xue Mang following behind.

"Master Yi, the countryside village, it may be a little dirty..."Qin didn't look back for two days, and walked towards Yue'er's house steadily.

Yi Xiaodao didn't answer, and glanced at Xue Mang, Xue Mang threw out the copper coin, took it in his hand, glanced at it, and nodded to Yi Xiaodao.

After walking for half an hour, I finally saw a small dilapidated house in the distance, with adobe bricks and weeds piled up indiscriminately, a few chickens and ducks raised outside the door, and a woman talking to an old lady.

"Aunt Li, I heard that the girl in your family went to Jicheng and married into a good family? Now it's okay, enjoy it. ”

"Hey, fourth wife, thanks to the care of the neighbors all these years, I really want to be rich and noble, I can't forget you! Heard... Is the sister-in-law of the Qin family still lying in bed? I don't know where her son went, the one who played with my family Yue'er from childhood to adulthood, I kind of understand, this adopted son is better than a daughter! The woman was pulling the house.

Qin Erliang walked over with Yue'er's corpse in his arms, and Yi Xiaodao and Xue Mang stopped at the right time and watched from a distance.

"Li Shen, I brought Yue'er back." Qin Erliang walked to the woman's small dilapidated house and said with a blank expression.

"Huh? Yue'er? What's wrong with this? Yue'er... Why are these hands so cold? The woman was astonished and hurried up to take her daughter.

Qin didn't speak for two days, and the woman looked into it, only to find that her daughter was dead, her feet were weak, she fell to the ground, and cried.

"You... You... Don't go, my wife will report to the official! You still dare to kill, lawless! The fourth woman grabbed Qin for two days and pulled him to prevent him from leaving.

Qin Erliang bowed his head and was silent, allowing the four women to beat and scold and shout, and soon, other people in the village found out about the situation in front of Aunt Li's house and gathered around.

"Isn't this a Yue girl? What's going on? ”

"This face is... Could it be..."

"Aunt Li, what's wrong? Don't just cry! ”

The fourth woman dragged Qin for two days: "It's him!" He was the one who killed the girl! Quick, who will report to the official and arrest him! ”

The villagers saw that the fourth woman was dragging Qin for two days, and they didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and they had to press Qin down for two days. Yi Xiaodao saw that Qin might suffer a loss in two days, so he stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Xue Mang and shook his head.

As soon as the villagers pressed Qin Liangliang to the ground, Aunt Li said with a crying voice: "Thank you, folks, let him go, I know him, he is two days, he won't do it..."

"Two days? How could it be two days? ”

"Why are you so skinny now?"

"Two days, you tell us who did it! We want to get justice for Yue Ya! ”

Qin Liangliang said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, the person who killed Yue'er has been corrected, and the people from Confucius have sent the head, I saw it with my own eyes." I... You take care of your body..."Qin Er's two hands stirred uneasily behind him, Kong Men sent someone to send the head and want to bury Yue'er, but he stopped him, but now he has no money on him, and he can't do it if he wants to simply say it.

Yi Xiaodao stepped forward and took out two silver tickets from his arms, the silver tickets went down, and did not let the people in the village see the denomination, and stuffed them into Aunt Li's hand: "This is a little bit of Qin Liang's heart, and I ask this aunt to accept it." ”

Qin Liangliang glanced at Yi Xiaodao gratefully, and took the lead in turning around and leaving.

Yi Xiaodao followed and asked, "I still have two silver tickets, can I go to your house?" ”

Qin Liangliang stood still, and said with some hesitation: "I... I don't have the face to go back, Lord Yi..."

"I understand, can you show me where your home is?" Yi Xiaodao was clever and understood Qin Liangliang's thoughts. For the sake of a woman, not being filial in front of her parents is indeed a little difficult to say. But Yi Xiaodao has no father or mother, and because of He Yue'er, he can better understand Qin Liangliang's thoughts.

After Yi Xiaodao sent money to Qin Liangliang's family, he politely declined the invitation of his uncle and brother to stay for dinner, and when his family asked where Qin Liangliang was, Yi Xiaodao smiled mysteriously: "I am a general." ”

After leaving Lincheng, Yi Xiaodao was ready to give Qin Liangliang a horse as well, but Qin Liangliang politely declined, until Yi Xiaodao said that this was the reward for the previous thief's meritorious service, and Qin Xiaodao rummaged in the stable for two days. In the end, Qin Tianliang picked a majestic big black horse, his eyes were a little excited, and he turned over and rode up.

Yi Xiaodao rode his horse to Qin Liangliang's side and asked, "Two days, have you ever thought about changing your name?" ”

Qin Liangliang asked curiously, "Why did you change your name?" ”

"If you become a general in the future, it will only take two days or two days, and when you get to the court, your majesty will call you like this, isn't it a little indecent?" Easy knife reminder.

Qin Erliang lowered his head and was silent, he also felt that this was a problem, Yi Xiaodao saw his thoughts, and then said: "I've helped you think about it, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Qin Liangliang nodded.

"Qin is moving! How is it? Yi Xiaodao threw out the name he thought of, "The past is gone, time has passed, how is this name?" ”

Qin read it twice in his heart for two days, and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you for the name!" ”

Yi Xiaodao smiled with satisfaction, it was always Qin Liangliang, Qin Liangliang called, and he also felt awkward, Qin Liangliang really liked this name now, and it was not in vain that he squeezed out the few taels of ink in his stomach and thought about it for a long time.

After a few more days, the army finally arrived outside the city of Richeng, Yi Xiaodao pinched his fingers and calculated, the eight-day trip was much faster than the last time.

"The army bypassed the city of the sun and set up camp in the east of the city!" Yi Xiaodao gave the order, and the army bypassed the city and headed to the east of the city. The people in the city had long heard that a large army was coming, and everyone panicked, and as soon as they heard that Wan Yanzong and the bandits were gone, and the displaced people had just returned, they encountered a large army coming to the door. But the army bypassed the city and went to the east of the city, which surprised the people of the city.

Soon, the news of the arrival of the army and the bypassing of the city spread throughout the city, and the people rushed outside the east city one after another, watching from afar as Yi Xiaodao's army set up camp.

"They... Why don't you come to grab food? ”

"Maybe I have already received the news that there is no food in the city."

"Who dares to ask? They don't look like the thieves. ”

The people were babbling, and soon a bold ruffian came out of the crowd and headed for the barracks. He is alone, his family is surrounded by walls, and he has long run out of money and food, so he has nothing to fear. That's what he said, but when he really arrived near the barracks and saw the bright swords and guns, the ruffian still beat the drum in his heart.

"Stop, what are you doing!" The soldier standing guard spotted him, pointed his spear at him, and asked.

The ruffian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, you are hungry, begging for a bowl of rice." ”

At this time, Qin Xiangqian happened to pass by in front of the gate of the wall, saw this scene, and looked at the people who were looking forward to the city gate not far away, and said to the soldiers: "Give him a steamed bun first, and I will go to see Master Yi." ”

The guards also recognized Qin Xiangqian, and a while ago he single-handedly picked a ruthless man of a bandit leader outside Qucheng, and Lord Yi seemed to attach great importance to him, so he immediately obeyed the order, summoned a brother who patrolled the sentry, and took steamed buns for the ruffian.

Qin Xiangqian entered the tent and said to Yi Xiaodao: "Lord Yi, the people of Richeng have arrived at the east gate, just now I passed by the camp gate, and I saw that some people came to the barracks to ask for food..."

Yi Xiaodao got up and said, "Really? I'll take a look. ”

When he was about to leave the account, he whispered to Qin Xiangqian: "You are not in office now, and when you are not in charge of the military camp, I am afraid that there will be criticism." But if it is really the people who come to beg, they will naturally give it. But this time it's thanks to you to see it, if Wei Youming sees it, he will definitely pretend not to see it,"

Qin Xiangqian heard Yi Xiaodao's words, and then he realized that he had trespassed, and Yi Xiaodao was reminding himself. Thinking about it carefully in my heart, I couldn't help but be shocked, if it was seen by other people with ulterior motives and returned to the imperial court, wouldn't I have harmed Lord Yi?

Yi Xiaodao came to the camp gate, the ruffians had already got the steamed buns and ran away, and the people outside the eastern city saw that the ruffians had got food, and they rushed over one after another.

"Someone! Formation! Stop the people! Yi Xiaodao was shocked, if he rushed over and had no defense, he was afraid that his military camp would not be washed to pieces, so he immediately made a decision and shouted to the barracks.

In order to deal with emergencies, Yi Xiaodao shouted loudly, and the combat reserve army and the patrol army opened the camp together, and stood in formation in the direction of Dongcheng, and the swords and guns were aimed at the people who came in.

The people saw the army pull out from afar, but the number of people was so strong that the people in front couldn't stop until they ran closer, so that they could not stop and avoid the blade.

"You are all the people of Richeng, before the bandits in Richeng were rampant, and Wanyanzong was here to take away a lot of food, I think there is a shortage of food. When you come again tomorrow morning, you will get three measures of grain from each household. If there is a repeat taker, the consequences will be borne by yourself! Yi Xiaodao's words were simple and clear, and he made a rule on the spot, and then sent someone to the county office in the city to collect the household registers of the people in the city.

When the people heard this, they talked about it, some were happy, some were suspicious and complained, and more of a down-to-earth peace of mind: even the ruffians in the land have steamed buns to eat, can we still have them?

After the people left, as Yi Xiaodao expected, Wei Youming found Yi Xiaodao again and said: "Lord Yi, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city this day, and each person has three buckets, how can we afford the underground?" ”

Yi Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did you hear the gossip?" I can't get over three buckets per person? It's three buckets per household, and I've already sent someone to the city to get a household registration. There are at most 20,000 households in this small day city, not to mention that many people have fled and left, and now it would be good to have 10,000 households, don't worry. ”

"But my lord, 50,000 horses are approaching, and if we distribute food to the people at this time... Once we are defeated, the Eastern Wa will drive straight in, and it will not only be these people who will suffer. Wei Youming grasped the point of the problem.

Yi Xiaodao "groaned" in his heart, forgetting this stubble, the army was already short of food, thanks to Kongmen was able to send supplies in time, but it was about to start a war with Dongwei, if there was a shortage of food...

"Hurry up and calculate, send out 5,000 households, how long do we have food left?" Yi Xiaodao was also in a hurry.

Wei Youming came prepared, and immediately took out an abacus from behind him and calculated it cracklingly. Looking at Wei Youming's proficiency, Yi Xiaodao was a little distressed, and a military general crackled his calculations, it was really some...

Soon, Wei Youming calculated it and replied: "If it is 5,000 households, we will send out these grains, and the rest can last for three months, but these grains could have supported our 10,000 soldiers for half a year..."

Yi Xiaodao sat back on the chair and patted his chest: "It's okay, it's okay, it's scared me to death... Three months is enough for the time being, enough is enough. ”

Wei Youming held back a smile and left the handsome tent, as long as he scared Yi Xiaodao, his goal would be achieved, and in the future, this kind-hearted Lord Yi would definitely pay attention to the issue of military rations.

A horse came from Richeng and entered the tent, and after a while, the guard of the tent summoned Wei Youming, and Wei Youming rushed back.

"Thirteen thousand! How can there be so many more people? General Wei, how much food do we have left? ”

"I'm running out of food..."
