On the edge of Feng Yun's family's regenerated rice field, there are people in the village, a group of black crows and crows, people are boiling, many people are walking along the other side of the ditch, in the dry years, seeing water is like seeing gold, one by one, full of emotion.

The water is muddy.

Feng Yun saw the water flowing slowly from the canal, but his eyes were exceptionally clear......

There are many people to do things, and she once again feels the benefits of many parts.

There are a total of eight shafts, the deepest one is on the mine, borrowing the topography of the mine, and the water flow is not small. Although the distance from Xiaojieqiu to Huaxi Village is not very far, and it is drained from the bottom of the mountain, there are few obstacles along the way, but it also consumes a lot of manpower.

Looking at it this way, it is a remarkable feat for Pei Zhen to dig the river channel from Huaxi to Mingquan......

"I've seen the princess." A guy wearing a hat and a tiger's back walked over, and when he approached, Feng Yun recognized that it was actually Hou Zhun.

"General Hou, why are you here?" Feng Yun looked at Hou Zhun sweating profusely and was very surprised.

Outside, it was said that she had accepted a mountain bandit as a domestic servant, but in fact, she gave Hou Zhun absolute freedom, set up another piece of land for Hou Zhun in Xiaojieqiu, placed that group of soldiers, and asked Lord Yao to go for a consultation, bringing enough medicine for the injury.

This time she dug a ditch and dug a well, and she also said in advance that the participants would be settled according to their work, and they would not be allowed to work for free.

In fact, this is Nagato's consistent rule, even if it is a domestic servant, he still receives money to work.

What's more, she has respect for Wanning's original defenders in her heart.

If you give more money, the people will be united, and you will not be tired of doing your work.

A group of remnants of the defeated soldiers have lived on Xiufeng Mountain for nearly two years, and they have no normal days, and they can't see their parents and relatives, and their hearts are actually extremely tormented.

From Xiufeng Mountain to Xiaojieqiu, they originally thought that there would not be much difference in their private hearts, but they just changed their titles, and they didn't have to hide in Tibet anymore......

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Xiaojieqiu, it was like entering a new world.

There are mines, briquette workshops, and farm tool workshops are also preparing to move to the bottom of the mountain, and they are expanding, and there are more people in Xiaojieqiu than they imagined, and the people and places in several workshops are gathered together, like a small town.

Upon learning of their coming, they vacated their houses and land early for them to set up camp.

The houses in Xiaojieqiu are not luxurious, they are still built by Cong Wentian of Tujiawu Fort, so like Mingquan Town, they are all convenient and fast stone and wood structures, simple and atmospheric, and there is an indescribable warmth......

Especially when the lights are on and the food is fragrant, every face is filled with an optimistic and satisfied smile.

Hou Zhun was greatly shocked in his heart.

In order not to lag behind, these days, he has been leading people into battle in person, digging ditches with hoes, and going out early and returning late every day......

I am tired, but my mood is calmer than ever.

In Xiufeng Mountain before, he had heard about Feng Twelve Niang's anecdotes, and at the beginning of his refuge, he was actually a little disapproving.

A woman with a strong man standing behind her, no matter how capable she is, is nothing more than the praise and flattery of the do-gooders. He has seen too much of this kind of thing.

But this experience for a while made him really realize that he had lost his eyes.

Pei Zhen didn't say those words to appease him temporarily......

It was he who really took a fancy to Feng Twelve Niang, and thought that he and his brothers were the best place to go right now.

"Let's change the title of the princess." Hou Zhun wiped the sweat from his head, grinned, and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, "I am no longer a general, the princess calls me Hou Zhun." ”

Feng Yun smiled: "Then I will call Brother Hou with honor." ”

Hou Zhun immediately rolled a few drops of sweat on his forehead, bowed his hand again and again, and bowed: "Don't dare, don't dare, this can't be done, the princess is going to torture Hou." ”

Feng Yun shook his head and said softly, "What's the matter?" The horizontal and vertical are their own people, and there is no need to be polite. In this rural place, the princess is more restrained. Brother Hou will be like them in the future, calling me Feng Niangzi. ”

She was kind and very serious, Hou Zhun saw that she was not saying kind words, and after thinking about it, he stopped refusing it.

Then Hou climbed high. Feng Niangzi is above, please accept Hou Zhun's worship. ”

He said and shook his hand.

Feng Yun returned the salute with a smile and turned around and walked across the ditch in front of him.

"It's hot outside, Brother Hou will come and sit in my Zhuangzi?"

Hou Zhun hadn't been to Changmen yet, and he had some expectations in his heart, and when he heard that Feng Yun seemed to have something to explain, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The two walked back along the canal, and from time to time someone cast a gaze at them, and from time to time someone saluted Feng Yun and greeted him.

But no one knew that the tall and strong man beside her was Hou Zhun, the deputy general of Wanning's guard Guan Ping, and the bandit leader of Xiufeng Mountain who was so terrifying that even Pei Zhen dared to assassinate him.

He seemed very easy-going.

"In two days, the ditch will go straight to the village, and I will ask everyone to work ......harder when I turn around."

Feng Yun said: "There is Brother Laohou, the brothers have worked hard these days, and when the well and canal are completed, I will let Ah Lou go to Xiaojieqiu, set up a few more tables, and add dishes for everyone." ”

Hou Zhun laughed and thanked him.

Feng Yun glanced at the sky.

The fiery red sun emitted a dazzling light.

She sighed.

"With these wells and canals, at least there is no shortage of water to eat."

The mountain spring of Xiaojieqiu has never been dry, and it flows down all year round, and after digging the well, the water flow is greater than before, and there are several attached wells connected along the way, and then the drought cannot catch them.

Hou Zhun was also very satisfied.

After many years of military career, all of them are dancing guns and sticks, arranging troops, this is the first time he has led people to do such fortifications, looking at the flowing water, his mind is rippling for a while, and there is a different kind of sense of achievement......

The two talked while walking, Feng Yun mainly asked him about some trivial things in life, whether there were any difficulties, Hou Zhun said no, everything was fine, and the brothers also liked Xiaojieqiu.

"That's about it."

Feng Yun won this praise and smiled slightly.

"Where is Brother Hou's hometown? Is Gao Tang okay? ”

As soon as he heard this, Hou Zhun's face sank, and there was a sad look in his eyes.

"I am a Jiangxia person, I joined the army at a young age, and I rarely did my filial piety in front of my parents. Before Wanning City was broken, a letter came from home, saying that my father was seriously ill and asked me to return quickly.

At that time, it was the most critical juncture of the war, I couldn't leave, so I hurriedly sent a letter, postponed the trip, unexpectedly, Wanning battle, our army was defeated, I had no chance to go back to Jiangxia, my father could not wait for me, an unfilial son, not long to go west.

Later, I learned that my family thought that I had died in Wanning, and my father dragged his sick body and was stimulated by this, so I didn't carry it that winter, and my mother cried and was blinded......"

Feng Yun couldn't help but look sad when he heard him.

"Brother Hou, mourn."

This is actually the norm in troubled times, but every time he listens to it, Feng Yun still inevitably sighs once.

Hou Zhun frowned and sighed faintly.

"I thought I would die in Xiufeng Mountain, and I would be separated from my loved ones forever...... Unexpectedly, this situation happened. ”

Feng Yun asked: "Then why doesn't Brother Hou bring his family and share the family?" ”

Hou Zhun smiled bitterly, "Think, why don't you want to?" But I ......" he raised his eyes to look at Feng Yun, "a general of a defeated army, what face does he have to return to Jiangxia?" How can you justifiably pick up your relatives and relatives without being criticized and not suspected by the court......"

The general, whose family is not around, has concerns in his heart, and he will inevitably be constrained by others.

Feng Yun pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother Hou is inconvenient to come forward, I can help this little favor." ”

Hou Zhun's voice condensed slightly, "What is the best way for the lady?" ”

Feng Yun smiled complacently and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Don't hide it from Brother Hou, my embarrassed father has a request for me right now. It is only fitting that he should be entrusted with this matter. ”

Hou Zhun's eyes immediately lit up.

The Feng family is in a high position in Southern Qi, and with the Feng family coming forward, it is naturally much easier than him being defeated by one who surrenders to others.

Hou Zhun bent down and bowed, "There is a lady of Lao." ”

Feng Yunwan, "What are you polite to me again?" Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is not a merit. ”

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the village gate.

The well and canal are open to water, and many people in the Zhuangzi come out to watch.

Several beauties stood outside the door in purple and red, one by one gorgeous.

Feng Yun looked at these beauties, and suddenly asked Hou Zhun with a smile.

"I don't know if Brother Hou has a wife?"

Hou Zhun was stunned for a moment.

Almost at the same time, he also saw the beautiful women.

was originally a hearty man, but when Feng Yun asked him like this, he became a little embarrassed.

"There was originally a wife room in the family, and after the city of Wanning was broken, it was rumored that I died in battle, so she remarried......"

Feng Yun sighed secretly when he heard him, and he thought of something not very good.

She said, "I'm sorry. ”

Hou Zhun shook his head with a smile, his eyes dimmed, "It's okay, it's all over." ”

At this time, several concubines saw Feng Yun and greeted her.

"I've seen the lady."

They had long been accustomed to respecting Feng Yun in Changmen, even if there was a strange man beside her, they also thought that they were the little leader of Xiaojieqiu, so they didn't take a second look, so they happily asked Feng Yun about Jingqu.

Feng Yun invited Hou Zhun to sit in the flower hall.

The servants served tea, and Guan Wei and Awan also followed.

The concubines who are still in Zhuangzi at the moment are the two of them who are the most active in front of Feng Yun, and their brains are also active.

As soon as Feng Yun settled, the two of them came in one after the other to wait.

Feng Yun glanced at them with a smile, and suddenly said:

"This is General Hou Zhun Hou."

The two Meiji turned their heads at the same time and looked at Hou Zhun with different expressions. (End of chapter)
