In the past seven or eight days, Ding'an City has not changed much, there is only a trace of green between the four fields, although this heavy rain has fallen, after all, it is too late to miss the best reclamation solar term in the second half of the year, and it is impossible to plant crops.

When Su Chen and the others came back, there were still many victims gathered outside the east city, curled up on the ground, or dragged their families to huddle in the simple grass huts made of branches and thatch, waiting for a daily ration, as long as they did not die of hunger and survived the spring of next year, there was hope for the days.

At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and some of the victims raised their heads, and the figure of a war horse galloped past him, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground with a bang, and rushed straight towards the city gate.

"Give me something to eat!"

"Give a little charity, the child will starve to death."

Some people rushed over with their mouths, and the surrounding crowd got up from the ground and crowded towards this side, holding their hands in the air densely, trying to catch the steamed buns thrown at the first time, however, what fell was a loud whip.

"Go away!" Dong Zhuo pulled the reins, he was a bloody person, very easy to get angry, crowded by the swarming victims and unable to move an inch, casually waved the whip and whipped a mother and daughter who approached, the woman held the three-year-old girl, buried her head down, and still raised her hands and did not want to miss the opportunity to catch food.

"Dong Gong!"

Su Chen rode over and stopped him and shook his head, but Su Chen's face did not show unbearability, but pulled out a 'bang', pulled out the long sword at his waist, and his cold gaze swept over a panicked and vegetable-colored face.

"You wait to retreat, you must not take another step forward, Andinghou came back from the city, it is to solve your rations, retreat quickly, and do not storm the city gate, otherwise you will rebel and kill you!"

All around, the cavalry drew their long swords in unison, and the armor soldiers guarding the carriage set up their spears with a 'boom', and their eyes were full of coldness, causing the surrounding victims to immediately retreat.

Seeing this, the guards on the city tower hurriedly asked the soldiers below to open the city gate, sent two teams of soldiers, and moved the horses on both sides to prevent the Hou Ye's team from entering the city, and the victims took the opportunity to rush in.

Fortunately, these things did not happen, and when I entered the city, the streets were as they were before leaving, with only pedestrians hurrying by, and compared with Yunyu County, it was much bleaker.

The horse's hooves stepped on the hard soil and compacted the street, Dong Zhuo looked at the street scenes of the buildings on both sides, which was not much different from the imaginary picture, and he suddenly smiled.

"Just now, you drew your sword and made such an expression, in fact, you were saving those disaster victims, for fear of annoying Dong, and killed them in a fit of anger."

"Yes, but not all."

There are occasional pedestrians passing by and vendors selling snacks shouting on the side of the street, and although there are not as many as there were before the drought, there is always one or two people sitting down and having a bite to eat. Su Chen glanced at the vendor, it was a familiar face, he turned his gaze back, and continued: "If the interception convoy is used to it, it will boost their momentum, and they feel that they can stop any car, and if they stop it next time they have a bad temper, they may die in vain." ”

"Changsheng values these unclothed ant people very much?" Dong Zhuo frowned and looked at the young man on the side.

Su Chen nodded, looked back at the carriage in the team, and urged the horse to continue to move forward: "The country is a towering tree, the people are the roots of the tree, and killing the people is the roots. ”

Dong Zhuo had heard these similar truths, but unfortunately he didn't take them to heart, and later he plundered and killed indiscriminately, and he didn't care about the people, he always felt that these people couldn't be killed, and in a few years, many people would pop up.

"Dong has been taught!"

He nodded in response, but was not reassured. Su Chen was not in a hurry to change the other party in some concepts, just smiled, and then sped up to go back to the house, stopped the horse at the door and turned over, he threw the reins to the armor at the door, and then took Dong Zhuo to meet his mother first, the eldest brother was busy in the mansion, and was not at home, and the sister-in-law was busy with her mother's flower garden.

"What about your father?" The old woman looked at the ceremonial crown on her son's head, smiled and looked around, and her eyes fell on the fat figure in front of her, who was about fifty years old, "Who is this?" ”

"The child's newly recruited manpower, some martial arts, will be brought with him."

Dong Zhuo listened to Su Chen's words and did not refute it, after all, when he first came to this world, he didn't have any identity or anything like that, so he had the right to say whatever Su Chen said, but when he saw the woman serving beside the old woman, his eyes couldn't help but bloom.

"The father is still behind, so the child will go back first."

Su Chen tugged at the corners of Dong Zhuo's sleeves, and after the two left here, Su Chen reminded him in the corridor: "Dong Gong wants women, there are many green buildings outside, but the family can't mess around, can Dong Gong forget Cai Shizhong's words and want to repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”

"Haha!"

Dong Zhuo originally wanted to refute a few words, but when he heard the word 'Cai Yong', he immediately laughed heartily: "Changsheng should not underestimate Dong, if it weren't for the resentment in his heart back then, and he stayed in the bitter cold land for many years, otherwise he would not have become selfless in Luoyang." ”

The two of them talked and returned to the courtyard of the South Chamber, the thirteenth had not come back yet, but Zhu Gongdao was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and when he heard a rough voice from a distance, he stopped the spear in his hand and looked at the black fat man who followed behind Su Chen, his eyes were suddenly half-closed.

"Meet the little marquis." Wishing justice is the identity of the green forest, and the title has always been more respectful to Su Chen.

After hearing Su Chen's introduction to Dong Zhuo, Zhu Gongdao almost didn't pull out a gun and stab him, although he only appeared many years after Dong Zhuo, but he had heard of the chaos beyond the outline, the burning of Luoyang, and the killing of the people.

"Humph!" Zhu Gongdao glanced at Dong Zhuo coldly, didn't even want to pay attention to it, picked up a spear and followed behind Su Chen, passing by the flower garden, Su Chen arched his hand to the figure carrying the medicine basket, and then walked into the ancestral hall.

The Taoist priest who chanted the scriptures came up and made a salute, and Su Chen handed over the spiritual seat of Emperor Han Xian to the other party, and the Taoist priest respectfully held the spiritual seat and put it back in the original position of the offering table.

"The first emperor is also ......" Dong Zhuo looked at the spiritual throne above, his eyes fell on the name of Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and then looked at Liu Xie's name, he turned around: "Changsheng, can you call Your Majesty, Dong...... I want to meet him. ”

"Dong Gong didn't see it just now? The one who pulls the weeds out is it. ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and pointed outside: "You asked Your Majesty to pull weeds?" ”

After speaking, he turned around and rushed out of the ancestral hall.

Su Chen laughed twice, walked to the offering table, took the fragrance handed by Zhu Gongdao, raised it above his head and bowed, then knelt on the futon, closed his eyes, and the merit strip in his mind, except for the six thousand points consumed, and saved Wu Zixun and others in the back, he got two thousand, and it remained at forty-two thousand, plus the increase given by the three brothers of Zhang Jiao in the recent period, a total of more than 42,700.

It's been a long time since I've been so rich.

Even if an emperor is unlocked, there are still points left to attract Lu Bu.

"The ancestors of China are above, and the descendants of later generations Su Chen have paid homage to you."

The long incense held above his head decreased as he bowed, and the speed visible to the naked eye decreased, and it only stopped when it reached more than 12,000 points.

Above the table.

There was a sound as if something was broken, and the spiritual positions were arranged in an orderly manner, without any change.

It should be the same as before, in a dream. ’

Su Chen looked at the dense spiritual position above and guessed like this, after bowing, he came out of the ancestral hall, and saw Dong Zhuo standing in front of the old man hoeing grass, muttering something he didn't know what he was saying,

At the moment, he still has a lot of things to do, so he went back to the house first to sort out the formation of soldiers and horses, and handed over the rest of how to practice to Dong Zhuo.

The soldier's daily supply of grain and straw and monthly income were a lot of expenses, and with his savings over the years, combined with the current prices in Ding'an City, he could only recruit 2,000 people to supply him for half a year.

And that's not even counting horses, weapons, armor, and the construction of camps.

On the other hand, it is necessary to stabilize the victims of the disaster in Ding'an City as soon as possible, and there must be enough food to do so, because if the city is stable, prices will fall, and the expenses will be much less.

Su Chen thought about sorting out the simple regulations, while waiting for Dong Zhuo to come over, and after half an hour, the pot-bellied Dong Zhuo strode into the hall with a comfortable look, looking at the contents of the paper with fierce eyes, and then slapped the paper on the table with a big hand.

"Changsheng, you can recruit soldiers first, get five hundred sets of armor and weapons, Dong Mou trained this army first, didn't he want to explore the Aragami Sect before? If there really be a division altar in this place, there will be gold, silver, and grain. ”

He waved his hand heroically, then clenched his fist.

“…… The old man led the troops to find them all to 'borrow' to make envoys. ”

Su Chen sat on the chair, the corners of his mouth were grinning, showing a smile, and he nodded in agreement with Dong Zhuo's proposal.

As for the upfront expenses.

Su Chen thought of a place, where a lot of money was hidden.

……

It's getting dark, the backyard of the Su Mansion.

The window lattice reflected the warm yellow lights, Su Congfang burned her feet comfortably, while talking to his old wife about what happened in Yunyu County, scolding Su Chen Hulai in his mouth, not being sensible, but the wife opposite was smiling at the corners of her mouth, Su Congfang scolded and scolded, and the stubborn old man also laughed, in fact, his words were full of worries about his son's safety.

Soon, Su Congfang still had business to deal with, and under the guidance of the maid carrying the lantern, he entered the study, and as soon as the door was closed, he opened the dark room in the room, which was full of private money he had secretly saved over the years, filled with six large boxes.

Every time he goes out and comes back, he has to go in and have a look, so that he can rest assured.

The old man walked into the secret door behind the bookshelf with a candle, touched the heavy wooden box inside, opened the lid of the box comfortably, and when he saw it, the smile on his face instantly froze.

"His mother!"

He hurriedly opened the other five large boxes, which were also empty, except for a note pressed on the bottom of the box, on which a line of words was written: Dad, I borrowed the money.

"Borrow...... Borrow...... Borrow! ”

Su Congfang was stunned and took the note, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she sat on the ground.

"I saved it for my father, you have to remember to pay it back......"

He sat on the ground and muttered.
