When the rice leaves in the rice field begin to turn yellow, it indicates that the rice harvest season is coming, which is the most tired but also the happiest time for farmers.

Just when the farmers in Xuanzhou were sharpening their knives and Huo Huo was about to harvest rice, Zheng Yonggui of Lingchuan County, Hezhou secretly sent someone to send a secret letter to Xuanzhou Taishou Zhu Mengzhen. After Zhu Taishou saw it, he immediately convened the officials of Xuanzhou to discuss the countermeasures, although Father Lin was not an official, he was also called to the Yamen.

Through her father's relay, Lin Ruyu knew the contents of the secret letter.

Because the people of Raozhou and Hezhou fled in all directions, the fields were barren and uncultivated, and the grain hoarded in the two states was not enough to hand over the grain and grass needed by the 30,000 troops in Anzhou, Lei Daoyang, the leader of the rebel army in Raozhou, and Zheng Yonggui's brother, Zheng Yongfu, the "rebel commander" of Hezhou, secretly discussed that they wanted to attack from the west and north and snatch tens of thousands of acres of rice from the three counties in the northwest under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou, including Puxian.

was controlled by Lin Ruyu with poison Qirihong The Zheng family brothers, not only do they still have rebel hats on their heads, but their hearts are also towards King An, especially Zheng Yongfu. So this time it was Zheng Yonggui who secretly sent a letter to Zhu Mengzhen, but Zheng Yongfu did not move.

Lin Ruyu analyzed, "Daddy, Zheng Yonggui sent the secret letter because Zheng Yongfu wanted to send him to Xuanzhou to steal grain?"

Father Lin, who was much whiter than when he first returned from going to sea, smiled, "Guessed right. You used the discord plan set up by Luan Jiuhe and Song Tianxiang to work, Zheng Yonggui no longer listened to Zheng Yongfu in everything, the two brothers began to fight for power, and Zheng Yongfu wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Zheng Yonggui. Zheng Yonggui also wants to take this opportunity to use Xuanzhou's forces to weaken Zheng Yongfu's power."

These two really deserve to be brothers, in order to rebel, they don't want their wives and children, so why not abandon their brothers. Lin Ruyu asked, "Daddy, what are the plans of Lord Taishou?"

Father Lin said in a low voice, "Lord Taishou will plan and let Zheng Yonggui send troops with the Raozhou rebels, and Xuanzhou will also send and will go to the three counties of Puxian, and after the three parties arrive, Zheng Yonggui will fight back on the spot and destroy the Raozhou rebels together with the Xuanzhou soldiers." We can't get involved in the war, so Lord Taishou called me over to ask us to gather people to harvest the rice as soon as possible."

The Lin family has three Zhuangzi in the northwest of Xuanzhou City, and together they have planted more than 2,000 acres of rice. The Xuanzhou army can send troops to fight the rebels, but the rice still has to be harvested by the Lin family.

Father Lin arranged for the rice harvest, "Zhao Feng is here in the grange in Pu County, so there is no need to worry. The Grange in Xiayang County has also been arranged for the father, and now the most dangerous thing is the Nanshan Grange near Xiacai, Raozhou, and the father has to bring people over in person. The Lin Jiazhuang outside Xuanzhou City will be handed over to Uncle Xiang, and you will stay in the city and help your mother take care of the house and shop."

Linjiazhuang, more than ten miles west of Xuanzhou City, has 600 acres of fertile land, and it must also be harvested in time to transport the rice back to the city. Fang's pregnancy has reached three months, the fetus has been stable, and she can preside over the overall situation at home.

Lin Ruyu will discuss with her father, "Daddy, Uncle Xiang is old, let him take care of the family in the city, and his daughter will go to Linjiazhuang. What Uncle Xiang can do, his daughter can do; If Uncle Xiang can't do it, his daughter can do it too. It would be more appropriate for my daughter to go than Uncle Xiang."

Father Lin disagreed, "You can't go out of the city."

"My daughter must go out of town." Lin Ruyu argued, "First, the 10,000 elite soldiers of the left guard and the 5,000 soldiers of the right guard are on their way to Anwang to quell the chaos. The rebels in Raozhou have been cornered, and they will definitely fight hard when they come to grab food."

"Second, although Zheng Yonggui verbally agreed to join forces with the Xuanzhou army, it is difficult to say which side the Hezhou rebels will be on at that time, so Lord Taishou must want to send most of the Xuanzhou army over, right?"

Father Lin looked at his daughter with a serious face, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his head, "You are so smart, you really follow the father."

Lin Ruyu, who had a fried hair on her head, continued, "Even so, does Daddy still have to go to Nanshan Grange?"

Father Lin nodded, "I won't go over, the steward of the Grange can't suppress the Diao people over there, and it's not just the rebels who want to grab food."

"So, most of our family and the dart masters of the Liangdao Dart Bureau must go to Nanshan Grange with you, just in case." Seeing her father's disapproving look, Lin Ruyu continued, "Daughter understands, you are worried that Zheng Yongfu will take advantage of the emptiness of the garrison in Xuanzhou City and send someone to grab his daughter to snatch the antidote to Qirihong, and want more people to guard the house. But we have limited manpower, so you can take enough people to Nanshan Grange, female

Go to Linjiazhuang so that nothing happens at home."

Father Lin did it, "No one in our family can have an accident."

Lin Ruyu smiled sweetly, "Daddy, my daughter has several ways to make the people sent by Zheng Yongfu die without a place to be buried, do you believe it or not? Why don't you make a bet with your daughter?"

Father Lin was so happy with the well-behaved and cute little Jiaojiao that his heart melted, and his face could not be sold, "There are officers and soldiers guarding the city, Zheng Yongfu can't rush into the city even if he sends people over, you are safer in the city." qδ

"My daughter knows. What worries my daughter is not that they will rush into the city, but that they will turn around against you, or take dozens of people in the Lin family hostage and force her out of the city." Lin Ruyu would never have seen such a scene, "So, my daughter went out of the city and laid a trap and waited for them to fall into the net."

Time is urgent, and there is no room for delay.

After Lin's father led people to Nanshan Grange, Lin Ruyu also led people out of the city with great fanfare and rushed to Lin's Grange.

The golden rice fields with the fragrance of rice in the Lin family grange form a strong contrast with the charcoal-blackened mountains and forests in the distance, Lin Ruyu stood outside the grange and looked at this scene, once again feeling lucky, glad that this large rice field was not swallowed up by the sea of fire.

After worshipping the god of grains with the steward, tenants and farmers who had hired the rice harvesters, Lin Ruyu gave an order, and everyone began to cut the rice with sickles.

Lin Ruyu, who was standing on the edge of the field, smelled such a strong rice fragrance for the first time. The fragrance is refreshing and refreshing. If the weather is beautiful, 600 acres of rice can be harvested, threshed, dried and pulled back to the city in half a month.

On the third day of Lin Ruyu's stay in the Grange, the news came from Puxian that the Raozhou rebels and the Hezhou "rebels" were attacking Xuanzhou to grab grain. The farmers who were harvesting rice in the fields were wielding their sickles faster, and they were eager to cut all the rice with a single sickle and carry it home and hide it.

Lin Ruyu ordered the kitchen to kill a fat pig, add meat to more than 100 people who grabbed the rice, replenish their physical strength, and harvest the rice as soon as possible.

On the eighth day of Lin Ruyu's entry into the grange, the rice harvest was completed, and the golden rice was spread out in the drying field or on the bamboo mat. On this day, Lin Ruyu received the good news that the Raozhou rebels were flanked by the "rebels" led by Zheng Yonggui and the Xuanzhou army.

As soon as Lin Ruyu showed a smiling face, he saw Luo Xian rushing from a distance like a fly. Her lips were like peach petals, and her beautiful apricot eyes were full of murder.

Her long-awaited prey finally came.
