Just when Bai Jiaxuan was dreaming.

Xiancao and Zhu Bai asked Lu San to catch the car and rushed to the governor's mansion in the provincial capital overnight.

Governor Zhang hurriedly met with Zhu Bai and Xiancao, and arranged them to the guest room.

Zhou Qiang's guest room was next to them.

Hearing the movement, he came out, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Zhou Qiang looked puzzled.

"Xiaoqiang, what's wrong with Jiaxuan? Any news? Xiancao hurriedly asked.

Seeing Governor Zhang just now, they also asked about Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan.

Governor Zhang just said that he was still waiting for news, and did not say anything else.

The war broke out at any time, and Governor Zhang was very busy, so he asked the fairy grass and them to go to the guest room to wait for news.

"There is no news yet, I only know that Brother Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu have entered the Qing army camp last night." Zhou Qiang replied, and hurriedly let Xiancao and Zhu Baishi into the guest room, "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant with a child, go in and rest, you can't be tired." ”

Xiancao nodded, and walked into the guest room with Zhu Bai.

Zhou Qiang followed, "Sister-in-law, didn't I ask the third brother to pass on the news, saying that there was nothing wrong, and I would go back in a few days, why are you still here?" ”

"This." Xian Cao's face was sad, and she was speechless for a while.

Zhu Baishi explained: "Xiaoqiang, listening to Lu San, there are two people in front of you who said peace, and their heads have been cut off. ”

"Oh, this one, I've heard about this too.

Those two people didn't know Fang Sheng, the commander of the Qing army, so it was normal for Fang Sheng to make peace rashly, and his head was cut off by Fang Sheng.

However, Mr. Zhu is Fang Sheng's disciple.

Mr. Zhu went to make peace, and it should be fine. "Zhou Qiang has already heard a lot of news.

"What? Fang Sheng, the commander of the Qing army, is Mr. Zhu's teacher? Both Xiancao and Zhu Bai were stunned. They didn't know the news.

"Yes. With this relationship, even if it can't be reconciled, Mr. Zhu and Brother Jiaxuan will be fine. ”

As soon as Zhou Qiang said this, Xiancao and Zhu Bai's clan suddenly felt a lot easier.

"Sister-in-law, you don't actually use it. However, since they have already come, they will rest here, and when Brother Jiaxuan and them come back, they will go back to the original place together. Zhou Qiang persuaded a few words and left.

It's dawn in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Qiang went out and saw Zhu Baishi outside.

"Sister, have you eaten?"

"Didn't eat. Xiaoqiang, Governor Zhang said that if there is no movement after dawn, he will send troops to ask for someone. "Zhu Bai went to Governor Zhang again just now.

At this time, Xiancao heard the movement and came out, "What? Sister, what's the news? ”

"There is no news from the Qing army camp, Governor Zhang said, if there is no news later, he will send troops to ask for someone." Zhu Baishi said it again.

"Actually, you don't have to." Zhou Qiang shook his head, "Eldest sister, sister-in-law, since Mr. Zhu dares to go and takes Brother Jiaxuan with him, then Mr. Zhu must be sure to retreat." ”

Zhu Bai and Xiancao nodded and didn't say anything.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I forgot to ask last night, it was the third brother who sent you, right? Where is he? ”

"He's outside guarding the donkey cart." Fairy grass road.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, I'll take you out to eat, call the third brother, there is a mutton steamed bun near here, it's very delicious."

"I'm not going, you can go." Xiancao was restless and didn't want to go out.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, Brother Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu must be fine, you have to take care of yourself now, eat and drink well, and rest well."

"Xiancao, let's eat something, you still have a baby in your belly." Zhu Baishi also persuaded.

"Okay then." Xiancao agreed.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, let's go, let me tell you, this mutton steamed bun is good, delicious, oily but not greasy."

The three men left the Doge's Palace.

Not far away, Lu San was napping on a donkey cart.

"Third brother! Let's eat mutton and soak buns together! Zhou Qiang shouted.

"Huh? What? Eating steamed buns? Lu San's face was tired, he tossed back and forth a few times, and he didn't rest well at night.

"Yes, there is a good steamed bun here, it is very delicious." Zhou Qiang pulled Lu San and took Zhu Bai and Xiancao away.

It didn't take a few minutes.

"Little Er, let's have four big bowls of mutton and steamed buns, and add more mutton."

"Okay!" Xiao Er quickly brought over four large bowls, as well as four very hard big cakes.

Zhou Qiang and the four of them began to break the buns.

Doge's Palace.

Governor Zhang is busy.

That's when someone came in.

"Dashuai, Zhou Qiang, Zhu Bai's, Xiancao, and Lu San went to eat mutton steamed buns together."

Zhou Qiang's whereabouts have always been reported to Governor Zhang.

"Oh? Did they go to eat steamed buns? Governor Zhang was a little surprised. The war is about to break out, and at this time, Zhou Qiang and the others are still in the mood to eat steamed buns.

"It was Zhou Qiang who took the lead."

"Zhou Qiang?" Governor Zhang thought for a while, "Did Zhou Qiang buy a few shops yesterday?" ”

"Yes, two shops, one house." What Zhou Qiang did yesterday was reported by 1510.

"So, Zhou Qiang thinks Mr. Zhu can persuade the Qing soldiers to retire?"

"That's how it should be."

"This young man is kind of interesting." Governor Zhang smiled and continued to be busy.

Qing army camp.

Fang Sheng finally wanted to see Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan were taken outside the camp and waited to be called.

"Brother-in-law, what's hanging on there?" Bai Jiaxuan saw the head of a dead man not far away.

"Don't ask." Mr. Zhu didn't say it, he didn't want to scare Bai Jiaxuan.

"It was a rebel who lobbied our family commander to withdraw from the army, was beheaded on the spot, and hung up for public display." The middle-aged officer said. He regarded those who made revolutionaries as traitors.

Bai Jiaxuan's face turned pale.

He didn't expect that someone who had already made peace was beheaded.

"Jiaxuan, do you remember the poem I taught you?" Mr. Zhu asked.

"Remember."

"They won't let you in with me, no matter what they do to you for a while, don't think about anything, just hum this poem in your heart." Mr. Zhu admonished.

"Yes, brother-in-law." Bai Jiaxuan nodded in response.

At this time, soldiers waved the command flag in the distance.

The middle-aged officer said, "Mr. Zhu, please come with me." ”

"Okay." Mr. Zhu followed the middle-aged officer.

Leaving Bai Jiaxuan alone, standing outside the camp tent and waiting.

Inside the tent.

"The students have seen the teachers." Mr. Zhu used student etiquette.

"Why did you come here to see me?" Fang Sheng asked directly, also knowingly.

"The students want the teacher to quit the army." Mr. Zhu said directly, they are all smart people, and if they don't talk around in circles, they will only make people look down on them.

"Humph!" Fang Sheng snorted coldly, his eyes flickered, as if he was going to kill Mr. Zhu immediately, "If you dare to speak for the traitors, how can I spare you!" Someone came, tied up his entourage, and waited for it to be released. ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged officer walked away.

Outside.

Bai Jiaxuan was still waiting stupidly.

The middle-aged officer ran over and stared at Bai Jiaxuan and shouted, "Tie up!" ”

Immediately, soldiers grabbed Bai Jiaxuan.

Bai Jiaxuan thought something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”

"Let's go!"

"What did you do to my brother-in-law? What about my brother-in-law? Bai Jiaxuan shouted, tied to a wooden shelf, waiting to be beheaded.

The middle-aged officer put the knife on Bai Jiaxuan's neck and shouted: "Dare to speak for the traitors!" Shout again, your throat will be cut. ”

Bai Jiaxuan was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Fortunately, there was no scare of pee.

If it was Lu Zilin, he must have been scared to pee.

Wait for the middle-aged officer to go away.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Bai Jiaxuan dared to shout twice.

said that Bai Jiaxuan's waist pole is hard, in fact, there are many times, Bai Jiaxuan can bend and stretch, and he can be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Otherwise, Bai Jiaxuan would have died long ago.

In the tent.

Fang Sheng and Mr. Zhu both heard Bai Jiaxuan's shout.

Fang Sheng glared at Mr. Zhu angrily.

Mr. Zhu's face was calm and fearless.

"What else do you have to say?" Fang Sheng asked.

"Teacher, it's not worth fertilizing and adding water to a dead tree, even if you kill Chang'an City, you won't be able to save the Qing Dynasty, and if you don't get it, you will be infamous through the ages." Mr. Zhu said this very calmly.

Mr. Zhu has long looked down on life and death.

With his relationship with Fang Sheng, Mr. Zhu was sure that after Fang Sheng killed him, he would let Bai Jiaxuan bring his bones back. In this way, Bai Jiaxuan will definitely not die.

Why did Mr. Zhu ask Bai Jiaxuan to come?

Mr. Zhu asked Bai Jiaxuan to come with a lot of intentions.

or collect the bones of Mr. Zhu.

Or let Bai Jiaxuan open his eyes and see the world.

Or let Bai Jiaxuan show his face in front of Governor Zhang and form a good fate.

Wait, in general, Bai Jiaxuan comes, it is beneficial and harmless.

But Bai Jiaxuan was not called by Mr. Zhu.

Bai Jiaxuan came by himself.

At this time, Bai Jiaxuan needed courage to come to Chang'an City to find Mr. Zhu.

If it was Lu Zilin, he would definitely not come.

Bai Jiaxuan lived up to Mr. Zhu's expectations, he really came, and he came in time.

Choice is destiny.

Therefore, everything is fate and is destined.

Straight to the point.

After listening to Mr. Zhu's words, Fang Sheng was silent.

What Mr. Zhu said, Fang Sheng also understood.

The reason why Fang Sheng came to the city was because Chang'an City was occupied by rebels.

Fang Sheng, as an official of the Qing Dynasty, had the responsibility to quell the rebellion.

But the general trend of the Qing Dynasty has gone, and Fang Sheng also knows it.

Fang Sheng is in a dilemma, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and there needs to be a step.

Mr. Zhu sent the steps in time.

"Bold!" The middle-aged officer angrily reprimanded Mr. Zhu.

"Alright, you will stand down first." Fang Sheng asked the others to leave, leaving only Mr. Zhu, and the two said something between master and apprentice.

Outside, Bai Jiaxuan was still worried and scared.

He wondered if his brother-in-law had been beheaded.

The more Bai Jiaxuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and remembering his brother-in-law's advice, he sang "Weicheng is light in the rain"

Bai Jiaxuan fell to the ground and was a tough guy.

At this time, although I was scared, I didn't show any shame.

Chang'an City.

Zhou Qiang took the fairy grass and they finished eating the mutton steamed bun.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, have you ever been to the provincial capital before?"

"I haven't been here." Neither the Zhu Bai clan nor Xiancao had ever been to the provincial capital before.

"Shall I take you around Chang'an City?"

"Still don't turn around, right? It's a mess. Zhu Bai answered.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, let's not go far away, just walk around here, there is a grocery store over there, and a few shops selling cloth, you come to the provincial capital, you have to buy something to go back." Zhou Qiang persuaded two sentences.

Zhu Bai and Xiancao agreed. Women love to go shopping.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, it's for sale over there." Zhou Qiang walked and introduced the surrounding shops.

The attention of Zhu Bai and Xiancao was also attracted by the store.

It's just that there is a shortage of soldiers, and there are not many shops open.

Lu San followed at the end, without speaking. He was full, even more sleepy, and didn't want to go shopping, just wanted to go back to the donkey cart to rest.

I visited a few shops.

Zhu Bai and Xiancao both bought something.

Walk to a slightly more remote street.

Zhou Qiang stood in front of a liquor store and said casually: "I bought this shop yesterday." ”

"What?" Zhu Bai's family, Xiancao, and Lu San were all surprised.

"Let's go in and have a look." Zhou Qiang took out the key and opened the door and went in.

The three of them walked in with a curious face.

"Recently, the shops in the provincial capital have fallen sharply, and many people have sold their shops and want to leave Chang'an City, so I took advantage of the cheap and bought two small shops and a small courtyard." Zhou Qiang didn't have much money, and he spent all his family's savings to buy two shops and a house. This was still bought in the face of a crash.

"How much does that cost?" Xiancao asked curiously.

"Not much, that's it"

"So cheap?" Zhu Baishi looked surprised.

"Yes, at this time, few people dare to buy a shop, it's very cheap."

"Xiaoqiang, this is a liquor store, right?"

"yes, I'm not making wine anymore? After that, the wine I brewed will be shipped here and sold. ”

"Are you busy coming here alone?"

"I hired a few victims yesterday, and they were all dragging their families and couldn't survive."

"It's all the soldiers, and I don't know when the soldiers outside the city can retreat?"

"Come on, if you want me to say, the Qing soldiers will retreat today." Zhou Qiang said casually.

"If the Qing soldiers retreat, then Jiaxuan them.?" Xiancao asked.

"Brother Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu will definitely be back."

White Deer Village.

Bai Jiaxuan's house.

Bai Bingde and Bai Zhao found that Lu San and Xiancao were gone.

Xiancao and Lusan left quietly without telling Bai Bingde and Bai Zhao.

Lu Zilin came to inquire about the news.

I heard that Xiancao also went to the provincial capital.

"Jiaxuan too, what's going on.

Mr. Zhu went to negotiate, and he used to have a status.

But Xiucai met Bing, and it was unreasonable.

Jiaxuan is a farmer, what use can he do if he goes along? Lu Zilin said cool words.

"It's too late to say anything now." Bai Bingde smoked a dry cigarette and looked anxious.

"Why don't I go into the city and chase my sister-in-law back?

Uncle, aunt, I said something I shouldn't have said.

In case something happens to Jiaxuan.

Our baby can't be fine.

Our old Bai family can't be extinct. Lu Zilin hopes that Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan will have accidents, and he also hopes that the Bai family will be left behind.

Lu Zilin is a person with bad water in his stomach.

"Zilin, it's all up to you." Although Bai Bingde knew that Lu Zilin had bad intentions, there was no one available now, so he could only hope that Lu Zilin would go to the provincial capital to have a look.

Lu Zilin came out of the Bai family.

Suddenly stopped, "Hey, don't you ask for news?" Why did you wrap yourself in. ”

Just now, Lu Zilin was stunned by Bai Bingde.

However, Lu Zilin did not go to the provincial capital.

He went straight home, told his family to pack their belongings, and prepared to go to the mountains to escape the army.

In this era, soldiers are like locusts to the common people, and there is nothing left wherever they pass.

Lu Zilin is busy moving.

On the side, Lu Taiheng couldn't help but say, "Didn't you agree to the Bai family?" Hurry up and pick up someone's daughter-in-law back. ”

"What? The city is besieged, and I will not come back if I go. ”

"Zilin, you can't help but go." Lu Taiheng was a little anxious.

"What?" Lu Zilin didn't understand.

"You think, Zilin, we have been with the folks in Bai's hometown for so many years.

Bai Jiaxuan's father and son usually help us.

It's usually a fight.

Now it's a big disaster, we have to help others keep a back. "At a critical time, Lu Taiheng still has leeway.

Lu Zhaopeng on the side also advised: "Dad, don't be afraid, I'll go with you." ”

Lu Zhaopeng performed extraordinary at a young age.

He is much bolder than Lu Zilin.

Under the persuasion of Lu Taiheng and Lu Zhaopeng, Lu Zilin had to set off for the provincial capital.

Although Lu Zilin is 'bad', the bad is limited.

Although Bai Jiaxuan is 'not bad', he is ruthless enough.

Qing army camp.

"Weicheng is raining and dusty" Bai Jiaxuan is still singing, and he doesn't know how long he has been singing.

At this time, the middle-aged officer came with a food box and shouted: "Untie up!" ”

The food box of this era is a wooden box.

Bai Jiaxuan was loosened, thinking that the wooden box contained Mr. Zhu's head.

"Brother-in-law!" Bai Jiaxuan pounced on the food box and knocked it to the ground.

As a result, a small plate of dim sum fell to the ground.

It seems that in the whole food box, there is just this small plate of dim sum.

Bai Jiaxuan was stunned for a moment, struggled to get up, and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”

"Mr. Zhu is fine, you can eat something first." The middle-aged officer said a word and left. He was in a somewhat complicated mood, because Fang Sheng was about to retire.

Bai Jiaxuan sang poems for a long time, and he was a little hungry.

Pick up the snacks on the floor and clean them carefully.

I only ate one piece, and the rest was wrapped, as if I was reluctant to eat it.

I don't know how long it took.

Mr. Zhu walked over.

Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly ran over, "Brother-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Mr. Zhu's mouth was tightly closed, and he shook his head to indicate that it was okay and did not speak. (PS: Mr. Zhu didn't speak because he was hungry and had too much saliva.) ）

Mr. Zhu turned around and bowed to Fang Sheng's handsome camp.

Fang Sheng was still standing outside the camp tent on the other side of the camp, watching Mr. Zhu leave.

"Let's go." Mr. Zhu cherished words like gold, and walked outside the camp after speaking.

"Let's go? Where to go, brother-in-law. Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly followed.

Mr. Zhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spit out three words: "Go back to the original." ”

"Back to the beginning?" A smile appeared on Bai Jiaxuan's face, a smile that had escaped death.

"Waited for me for so long, are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm waiting for you with delicious food and drink. I also wrapped a bag of snacks. ”

"Still with you?" Mr. Zhu smiled.

"Brother-in-law, did he agree to quit the army?"

Mr. Zhu didn't speak, his mood was a little complicated, and he couldn't swallow the saliva in his mouth.

I talked to Fang Sheng for a long time before, Fang Sheng was old, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to eat.

Although Mr. Zhu was hungry, he was embarrassed to talk about eating, so he was so hungry.

"Can you give me a piece first?" Mr. Zhu couldn't help it, "I haven't eaten for a day." ”

"You haven't eaten? I thought you were eating and drinking spicy food in it. Bai Jiaxuan gave Mr. Zhu a piece of snack.

Chang'an, Governor's Palace.

"Marshal, marshal, the Qing soldiers have retreated!"

"Great! What about Mr. Zhu? Where is he? ”

"Mr. Zhu has come out of the Qing army camp and is rushing back."

"Quick, send someone to greet Mr. Zhu, notify the newspaper to take pictures, notify all the squires, and let them all go to greet Mr. Zhu!"

Doge's Palace, guest rooms.

Zhou Qiang shouted: "Eldest sister, sister-in-law, the Qing soldiers have retreated, and Mr. Zhu and Brother Jiaxuan are rushing back!" ”

"Great." Zhu Bai and Xiancao both cried with joy.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, let's go and wait at the city gate, shall we?"

"Okay, let's go."

Several people left the Governor's Palace.

I saw Lu Zilin talking to Lu San.

"Third brother!" Zhou Qiang greeted.

"Hey, the Qing soldiers have retreated!" Lu San shouted with joy on his face.

"Xiaoqiang, are you here too?" Lu Zilin was a little unhappy when he saw Zhou Qiang.

"I came with Brother Jiaxuan, and I stayed in the Governor's Mansion at night, serving delicious food and drink." Zhou Qiang seemed a little nervous.

"Hmph, that's Mr. Zhu's face." Lu Zilin was a little envious.

City gates.

There were gongs and drums, cameras, squires, and a lot of onlookers.

Governor Zhang was also here to greet him personally.

Zhou Qiang and Xiancao also came.

"See, this is a big fortune, Governor Zhang sent a large cart of gifts, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of my life," Lu Zilin said endlessly.

Waited for a while.

Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan did not come.

A letter from Mr. Zhu came: the feet are enlarged, the hair hinges are short, and the nails are often cut and the pockets are shallow.

Everyone looked confused.

Zhou Qiang smiled and looked into the distance, Mr. Zhu and Bai Jiaxuan were walking back to their original places.
