On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, a fast horse called open the city gate.

The people of Lingnan Mansion were still asleep when they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the street, and when they got up to see what was going on, the sound of horses' hooves had gone away, but they were still worried about whether something urgent had happened.

The porter of King Qian's Mansion heard a quick knock early in the morning, frowned slightly, and was pushed and stumbled as soon as the door opened a little gap.

Before he could see the person clearly, he heard a complaining and eager voice, "It's been too long to live comfortably, the action is grinding, it takes half a day to open the door, if this is in the barracks, the first one will cut off your head!" ”

The porter didn't have time to pay attention to the man who reprimanded him in front of him, his attention was drawn to the soldier who had just walked past him.

"Is this something urgent to report, just rush to the front yard?"

"It seems that the uncle is out there to suppress the bandits, and something has happened."

Standing in the gate to reprimand the gatekeeper is the city gate guard, when the sky is bright was called to open the city gate, a question said that the uncle had an accident, scared that he did not have time to confirm the city gate opened, and when he wanted to ask, he had seen the fast horse running to the city.

In the end, he could only chase after him on horseback to confirm whether he had come to the palace.

It was confirmed that he had reported to the palace, and the city gate guard had just knocked on the door.

Hearing this, the porter was so frightened that he took two steps back, his eyes widened and he eagerly wanted to confirm: "You said that something happened to the uncle, what happened?" ”

The city gate guard craned his neck to look inside, and said perfunctorily: "The general doesn't know what's going on!" ”

Parvis.

King Qian didn't rest in the backyard last night, and went to bed early this day to wash up and prepare to go to the training ground to exercise, but before he could go out, he heard hurried footsteps coming towards the main house.

"Lord Wang, the little one has an urgent matter to report."

When King Qian heard Zeng Yan's voice, he glanced at Anu who was with him.

Anu immediately understood what he meant and opened the door, but to his surprise, Zeng Yan was followed by a dusty soldier.

As soon as the soldier entered the house, he knelt down towards King Qian, "I have seen the prince, his subordinate is Feng Wu from the uncle's personal barracks, and this time I came to deliver the letter because the uncle was injured by the bandits when he was suppressing bandits in Luofu Mountain."

Feng Wu explained the assassination of Li Chengshang in detail to several people present.

Several people present were shocked, they led the troops to suppress the bandits, and they could still make the bandit assassinate successfully under heavy protection, how dangerous the scene was!

"How is your uncle's injury now?" King Qian was the first to stabilize his emotions this time, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "What did the military doctor say?" ”

Feng Wu hurried overnight, his face could hardly hide the haggardness, but at this moment he tightened his heartstrings, answered King Qian's question seriously, and repeated the original words of the military doctor.

Knowing that Li Chengshang was not out of danger yet, several people present gasped, this is sad!

"Zeng Yan, the boss shouldn't be suitable for moving, you go and arrange it, let the guards escort the government doctor to Luofu Mountain to help the boss heal, and when the boss has passed the dangerous period, then arrange for someone to send him back to recuperate."

Although King Qian has many sons, Li Chengshang is injured, he is really worried, after all, he is his eldest son. The only thing he could do now was to arrange for a skilled government doctor to heal him.

"Yes, let's arrange it for the small ones." Zeng Yan solemnly responded, turned around and walked out of the main house quickly, to arrange specific matters.

King Qian asked Feng Wu some other details, and then asked him to go down and rest.

Seeing that King Qian seemed to be very worried, Anu comforted him with a wooden face, "Lord Wang, Uncle Ji has his own blessing, and he will survive this disaster." ”

King Qian sighed, didn't say anything, and was in no mood to exercise when he knew the news early in the morning, so he instructed him: "You go to the big house and tell the eldest daughter-in-law, let her know what the situation of the boss is now, and don't agree to her other requests." ”

——

Dafang Fahrenheit felt that the sky had fallen when he heard the news, and his eyes went black and his body fell back.

Fortunately, the maid who was waiting for her reacted quickly and caught her, so as to avoid her body from landing directly on the ground.

When the news arrived, Anu saw that Hua Shi fainted, and the maids in the big house were busy, he shook his head like an outsider, how could such a fragile bearing capacity serve as the head mother of King Qian's mansion?

He didn't care what would happen to Fahrenheit when he woke up, and when he saw that no one cared about him, he left.

Fahrenheit helped him to lie down on the bed for a while, and woke up under the concerted efforts of the maids.

When she first woke up, her expression was a little dazed, and when she saw the reddish eyes of the maids, she remembered what had just happened.

If something happens to the uncle, what should they do in the big house?

Thinking of the exile of his mother's family, and now the pillars of the big house have also had an accident, and then their big house still has a foothold in the palace?

Thinking of these things, Fahrenheit panicked.

"If you don't come to Lingnan, these things won't happen, and the uncle can't have an accident, speaking of which, everything is now to blame on the princess, a woman doesn't want to stay in the backyard well, and proposes to come to Nanban!"

"Big Lady"

The maid was startled when she heard her complaint, no one knew that this kind of thing would happen, how could she blame the princess?

The eldest lady Hua looked up at the maid and asked, "Does the Yigui Courtyard know the news that something happened to the uncle?" ”

The maid shook her head, "Anu came directly to our big house, and he shouldn't have had time to go to the Yigui Courtyard yet." ”

Hua's expression was solemn, and he said to the maid: "You sent someone to keep an eye on the Yigui Courtyard, Mrs. Ben wants to know how she will react when she learns that something happened to the uncle?" ”

Is it happy or sad, or is there no joy or sorrow that matters?

Fahrenheit must have been happy.

If something happens to the uncle, then the fifth master will become the most competitive successor to the palace.

Thinking too far for a while, she went back to Shenhua to get up, she wanted to beg the prince, let her take care of the injured uncle, how can those people outside take care of her!

Of course, Hua's request was stopped by Anu before it reached King Qian.

The prince has explained, and Dafang's other requests have been rejected.

The eldest lady Hua was extremely dissatisfied with this, "It's really unreasonable, now that the uncle has an accident, our big house has not yet fallen, and these minions in the house have already watched the dishes!" When the big house really declines, can all slaves be bullied to us? ”

The maid comforted her: "Madam, the prince attaches great importance to our uncle, and the news that the slave maid heard from the front yard is that the prince has sent the palace doctor to Luofu Mountain, perhaps because he thinks that you will slow down the speed of the team if you follow, after all, the palace doctor is to save the uncle, and the female dependents in the team will slow down the speed of the march." ”

"Is that so?" Fahrenheit will be skeptical.

The maid nodded heavily, for fear that the eldest lady would slow down and drill the horns again.

——

When Yiguiyuan received the news, the palace doctor had already set off under the escort of the guards.

"The boss has an accident, can he still have an accident under heavy protection?"

Hearing the news, Xia Jing was shocked, how unlucky it must be to encounter such a thing.

really responded to the sentence that useless is a scholar, the boss is an old-fashioned nerd, to suppress a bandit, and he can still be injured when thousands of people are chasing hundreds of people, she doesn't know how to describe him.

"There should be nothing wrong with this news, the strict housekeeper in the front yard has arranged for a guard to escort the doctor out of the house." Hongmei nodded.

"It's a bit sudden, and it's a little bit of a surprise." Xia Jing shook her head and said nothing.

Hongmei pondered for a while and asked, "Princess, if something happens in the big house, do we need to send some over to offer condolences?" ”

"This matter" Xia Jing hesitated a little, "According to common sense, we should go to the big house, but if no one else goes, we are the first to go, and the people in the big house will definitely be cranky, thinking that I am going to gloat, and if I go late, they will think that we are secretly celebrating their accident." ”

So this degree is a bit difficult to control, in short, it is difficult for the stepmother!

Hongmei's eyes rolled, and she came up with an idea: "Then the slave maid should pay attention to the movements of the other rooms, if the other rooms go to visit the eldest lady, then we will send a copy of the medicinal herbs over to show our concern." ”

"Just do as you say."

Xia Jing is very busy, she has already received a message from Xiao Wu, they have recruited the largest bandit force in Luofu Mountain, and they have both people and money, and the team should be rushing back at this time.

Before they returned, she had to have more houses built in the barracks outside the city, and urged the ironworks to forge more flintlock pistols and armor.

At that time, she will try to equip as many musket teams as possible to improve the team's combat effectiveness.

In the afternoon, the streets suddenly come alive.

Xia Jing didn't know why, "What's going on?" ”

Ye Fei, who had completed the task given to him by Xia Jing, came back again, and he asked passers-by a little bit to find out what was going on.

"Princess, I heard that the fleet that went to the South Seas has returned, and these people are in a hurry to go to the beach, because they want to see what rare things the fleet has brought back this time."

"Oh." Knowing what was going on outside, Xia Jing lowered the curtain and let the carriage continue to the north of the city.

A few days later, the teams that went out to suppress the bandits returned to the city one after another.

Li Chengmu led his own soldiers to seize the materials this time, whether it was the family or King Qian, they were very envious.

They all suspected that Lee Seung-mu was a person favored by God, otherwise how could he be so lucky?

Every time you go out to suppress bandits, you can gain something, and the most important thing is that you can come back safely every time.

You say jealousy or not?

On the second day, a military order was suddenly issued in the front yard, except for the injured big house, 4,000 people from each room in the other rooms cooperated with the general army Xiang Rongrang, and went to the border of Annan together to exterminate the enemy army that invaded Lingnan, and gave Annan a warning.

The barracks outside the city, several rooms of King Qian's mansion were not far from each other, and before they were about to leave, the other rooms found that Li Chengmu's barracks had expanded again, and most importantly, his team had expanded.

From the original 5,000 people, to the current growth of several times, the other houses feel that they are standing still, as if they are waiting for others to surpass if they are not motivated.

It's just that they also want to move forward, but military pay is the biggest obstacle to limiting their expansion, which really makes them helpless.

The team converged, Li Chengzhan and others greeted him, and curiosity drove him to ask about the situation.

"Xiao Wu, I remember that before you set out to suppress the bandits, your team was only more than 6,000 people, why did it increase a lot in more than a month? How many are there now? ”

"At the moment, there are only 20,000 people." Lee Seungmu smiled.

Several people gasped when they heard what he said, this crazy expansion speed, is it possible to wait for next year, his team can be doubled again!

They knew that Li Chengmu had recruited Sima Lu's department in Luofu Mountain, but this was too jealous.

Li Chengzhan opened his mouth and asked, "Little Wu, are all the people in Sima Lu's department sincerely obeying you?" There are some things you don't want to be fooled by them. ”

When Li Chengmu heard this, he glanced at him in surprise, arched his hand towards the city, and said: "My mother once taught me that I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't doubt people, since Sima Lu is sincere to me, why should I doubt them?" Besides, there is a mother concubine to help me check this matter, and it will not go wrong! ”

His confident and smug expression makes people can't look at it, it's too jealous!

Li Chengzhan asked again without giving up: "This time we led the team out to fight, and the remaining fifteen or six thousand people were placed on the outskirts of the city, and no one restrained you?" ”

Li Chengmu listened to his words this time and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, you are too worried, have you ever seen a general who would worry about the soldiers at home when he was outside?" I don't have other generals in my own barracks in Fucheng to restrain them, and if I come first in everything, then I must not die of exhaustion! ”

Li Chengzhan was so blushing from laughter that he said a little embarrassed: "Since Xiao Wu is prepared, then I haven't said anything about being the second brother." ”

Li Chengmu smiled and didn't say anything more, although he only brought 4,000 people on this expedition, these 4,000 people were all through the reorganized team, all of them were elite, and if they were brought out, they would not say that they would be one against ten, but at least they could ensure his safety, and they would not be plotted against like Li Chengyi.

The team is mixed with new and old soldiers, and this time to lead the team to speed up the process of running in.

Li Chengli noticed that Li Chengmu's team had hundreds of people with different weapons than them, a bit like the arquebuses of the Xiyi people.

This amazed him, he had seen the arquebuses of the Xiyi people, but he was amazed by the hundreds of soldiers who came to arm them at a time.

Curious, he asked: "Xiao Wu, the weapons in the hands of the five hundred people in your team can't be arquebuses, right?" ”

Li Chengmu didn't have to look back, he knew that he was asking about the 500 flintlock pistol team, "Sort of." ”

The enhanced version is still considered an arquebus, and there is nothing wrong with that.

These words amazed the other rooms.

"Little Wu, where did you get the arquebus? And so many? Li Chengyi, who had been standing next to him and didn't speak, couldn't help it, and he had to figure out where the shot came from.

Everyone is a brother, living in the palace and looking up and not looking down, it won't take long for the other rooms to know about a little movement, so Li Chengmu didn't think about hiding it from them.

Now when he heard them ask, he replied, "This is an upgraded version of the arquebus, called the flintlock pistol, which was made by the concubine's iron workshop, and because there are not many of them at present, she has distributed five hundred to me this time." ”

Li Chengyi et al.: "." Feeling a little sore in the teeth.

Li Chengmu tilted his chin arrogantly, "Don't underestimate these five hundred branches, they will play a decisive role on the battlefield." ”
