After Qin Heng returned to the Houcheng Military Region, he went to Le Guicai and asked him for instructions on leading troops to exchange guards with Qin Zhao and Qin Sheng's army.

Le Guicai didn't say much, yes.

Now, after formal training, the soldiers of the Houcheng military camp assembled very quickly, and it was a job they were very willing to do to go out to suppress bandits, so it didn't take long for Qin Heng to assemble.

Then he and Qin Zhao together, and the captain who assisted them led the team to set off.

Fang County, Yali Mountain

Every time he attacked a copycat bandit's den, Qin Sheng took the lead and took the initiative to gnaw the most difficult bones, such as the enemy's backbone, which was knocked out by himself or his troops.

This time was no exception, Qin Yan led the troops to deploy defenses around, and Qin Sheng had already fought with the two bravest masters of Yali Cottage. He is one against two, but he does not fall behind.

When Qin Heng and the others arrived, they directly asked the soldiers they brought to join the defense, and he and Qin Zhao went up the mountain under the leadership of Qin Yan's own soldiers.

They came to Qin Yan's side.

Qin Yan was still surprised when he saw them, "Big brother and third brother, are you here?" ”

"Shh Qin Heng and Qin Zhao watched intently as Qin Sheng fought with two burly men with whips in hand, and the two burly men looked alike and cooperated tacitly.

Qin Sheng's weapon chose the Black Whip instead of the Red Sakura Spear he commonly used.

One look at the terrain and they know. Yali Mountain is a gourd-shaped mountain, the position of the halfway up the mountain is like a tight pocket, the cliffs are steep, the strange rocks are craggy, and there is only one road less than one zhang wide that can lead to the inside and outside, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are already two people in Yali Village, and Qin Sheng will go up to meet them on their side, not that they don't want to support him, but that little slap on the ground, they can't squeeze out the fourth person. Even the spear was not easy to use, so Qin Sheng switched to a soft whip.

No wonder even the local county magistrate said that this Yali Village is a stubborn disease that cannot be easily eradicated.

The three brothers of the Qin family are all experts, and it can be seen at a glance that even if it is two against one, there are restrictions on the terrain, and their own Xiaoliu still has the upper hand.

"Xiao Liu's skills are more neat." Qin Heng's eyes were full of smiles.

Qin Zhao spoke, "That's it, I practice outside every day, and I have to get some results." ”

Xiaoliu is a tireless cow, accompanied him to fight a few cottages, he himself can't stand to go back to the defense to rest and replace his second brother, he is still so good to fight, it's good to be young.

Qin Yan glanced at him and said, "Xiao Liu's achievements are great. "Of the eighteen cottages in Liaodong, he picked fourteen of them.

As they spoke, Qin Sheng had already finished the battle, and the two big men, one was seriously injured, and the other was tied up.

Qin Sheng handed over the two strong men who had no ability to resist to his subordinates, and when he came down, he was a little surprised to see his eldest brother and third brother there.

Qin Yan was already busy when he saw him defeat the two big men, and the next thing was up to him.

Qin Sheng: "Big brother and third brother, why are you here?" ”

Qin Heng handed him a wet cloth towel.

Qin Zhao threw him a water bladder.

Qin Sheng held a cloth towel in one hand and caught the water bladder with his bare hands with the other.

"We're here to bring someone to change guards with you. You and your second brother will be able to leave later, and the remaining four cottages will be handed over to us. ”

Hearing this, Qin Sheng's heart instantly flew up, change guards? Of course so he can go back.

"Just, why?" Didn't the second brother already say that he wouldn't change his guard? This suddenly changed my mind, nothing will happen, right?

"The sixth brother and sister asked us to come over."

Qin Sheng's eyes widened instantly: !!

It must be that his daughter-in-law misses him too!

Qin Zhao asked sheepishly, "Little Liu, are you happy to hear this news?" ”

"Of course." Qin Sheng glanced at him, raised his head and poured the water of the cowhide bladder into his mouth, and drank it in a big gulp.

Qin Heng waited for him to drink good water before he said, "After changing the guard, you should hurry back to Houcheng." "The affairs of the sixth brother and sister are very urgent.

Qin Sheng nodded obediently, "Big brother, listen to you, but I have something to tell you." ”

"Huh?" Qin Heng couldn't guess what he had to explain, "You say, your third brother and I listen." ”

"Big brother, third brother, you are very good at suppressing bandits, so I won't talk about it. What I want to say is that when you finish fighting the bandits and cleaning the battlefield, you can't just stare at the silver and materials in their warehouses, but also look around twice. For example, the mountain behind the cottage, the wall of the dry well, the bottom of the stove, and the door of the residence of those who are in charge should be searched. ”

Qin Sheng explained carefully. I am afraid that if they do not search carefully, they will leave fish that slip through the net. It's just that he's been out for too long, and when he has the opportunity to go back and see, he doesn't want to give up. Otherwise, he would definitely not hand over such work to others. Because every tael of silver is a loss for the daughter-in-law.

Qin Zhao: How many good things have you found in these places of various cottages to become so experienced?

Qin Heng assured him, "Okay, big brother knows, you can go back with confidence." ”

Seeing that he was still very uneasy, Qin Zhao also reassured, "Don't worry, the third brother promises to you, every time you capture a cottage, my eldest brother and I will definitely let people dig three feet into the ground and not let go of any copper plate." ”

The assurances of the two made Qin Sheng nod secretly with satisfaction.

In the evening, the two sides switched defenses.

Qin Yan and Qin Sheng took their tired but excited subordinates to transport the seizures in Yali Village and slowly returned to defense.

Qin Sheng couldn't stand this speed, but he knew that his subordinates needed to rest and couldn't march in a hurry, and there was no need for that, "Second brother, I'll go first, you take the army." ”

"Go, go, go." Knowing that Xiao Liu's heart was like an arrow, Qin Yan didn't stop him.

After receiving his answer, Qin Sheng grinned, and then grabbed the horse's belly, and with a sound of driving, the horse under his crotch shot out.

Immediately afterwards, several of Qin Sheng's personal soldiers hurriedly rode horses to chase after him.

After Qin Sheng returned home, he said hello to his family, took a shower for himself, and after changing into clean clothes, he took a bag of buns that his mother forced on him and went to the county guard's mansion.

When he arrived at the county guard's mansion, because of his face, the concierge guard knew his identity and let him in without saying a word.

Qin Sheng had long legs and big steps, and it didn't take long for him to come to the office of the Lu family's father and daughter.

Lu Songli is explaining things to her subordinates.

Qin Sheng stood still, in front of outsiders, Qin Liuye was still quite good. He didn't come in to disturb them, but his eyes were watching her intently.

Lu Songli found out from the time he appeared. But she was halfway through the matter and could only continue. However, she still took the time to look at him between words, and there was no missing arm or leg, and she was not injured, which was fine.

At this time, the subordinates who were docking with Lu Songli were still quite eye-catching, and after listening to Mrs. Qin's explanation, he left in a hurry.

Lu Songli looked at Qin Sheng and said with a smile, "You're back?" ”

"Well, I'm back, pear pear tea." Qin Sheng came in and handed her the teacup on her table.

Lu Songli noticed that his lips were dry, and pushed the water cup towards him, "I'm not thirsty, you drink first." ”

Qin Sheng happily picked up her water cup and drank water, he had eaten a few buns just now, he was choking, and he drank some water to moisten it.

Lu Songli just wanted to talk to him for a while, but someone came to look for her, and she recognized it as the steward in charge of Yang's blacksmith shop.

Qin Sheng also noticed the visitor, and sighed in his heart, his daughter-in-law was really too busy.

"Lili, why don't I go back first?"

Lu Songli glanced at the faint redness in his eyes and nodded, "You go back first and have a good rest, I will go back early today." ”

Qin Sheng shook his head, "No need to rest, now I rest, I can't sleep at night." ”

"You're going south with Mr. Xue tomorrow, so you still have to rest more."

A bolt from the blue! Hearing this, Qin Sheng was stunned. I thought it was my daughter-in-law who missed him, but I didn't expect to arrange for him to travel with Mr. Xue?

Lu Songli saw that his reaction was wrong, "Big brother didn't tell you?" ”

Qin Sheng shook his head, "No." ”

Lu Songli understood after thinking about it for a while, the eldest brother probably saw that he was too happy to see him, and he couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, and wanted him to be happy for a long time.

Seeing that he was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, his heart softened for a while, "Otherwise, you go inside to rest for a while, and when I'm done, let's go home together, right?" ”

There was also a small room next to the office room that she shared with her father, where there was a small couch, and she would lie down when she was tired.

Qin Sheng nodded obediently, "I'll wait for you." ”

"Well, go ahead."

After Qin Sheng entered, he didn't close the door, he was lying on the small couch with his clothes closed, and his wife's voice came from time to time outside, and he gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
