Erzhuzizhuang is finally lively.

Well, now it's called Erzizhuang.

Li Wuchang disliked the name Ding Mao Bingzhuang and didn't sound good at all, it felt like the imperial court casually made a mark, so he changed the name of Zhuangzi to Erzizhuang.

got Zhuang Min's approval, and sent someone to report to Feng Yi Taishou.

There are more people in the owner's mansion.

Nie Quan and Xie Changhao, the two five-grade masters who grew up eating hundreds of meals, have already been decided, and they have been recruited into the Zhuang Lord's Mansion, which has aroused a burst of envy.

Hu Benlu cringed and found Fat Bear, saying that his son Hu Qianyong also wanted to talk to the owner, Fat Bear said to Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang thought about it for a while and agreed, which made Hu Qianyong very excited.

In addition, Li Wuchang also recruited three honest and capable middle-aged women, who were responsible for laundry, cooking, cleaning and so on, their families were poor, their husbands were injured, and there were old people to support at home, so Li Wuchang let them into the house.

The construction plan on Zhuangzi has been vigorously launched.

There was labor, and there was food, and there was copper money.

Zhao Xun said that if you want to build a lake, you need to repair the two roads in the sand first, so that it is convenient to transport mud to the crops and stones from the east and west mountains.

This proposal was approved by Li Wuchang, and Zhao Xun was put in charge.

So these days, the two mountains and the crops are in full swing.

Stone quarrying, transportation, digging ground, etc., have a clear division of labor.

The road was planned by Li Wuchang himself, one in the north and one in the east and west, not too long, three donkey carts were wide, with stones as the base, mud was poured into the gaps, and the top was covered with fine sand or broken stones, which was very strong.

The donkeys and carts were purchased from the city, and they cost a lot of silver, and they wanted to buy cattle, but the cattle were too expensive, and one ox topped six donkeys, and the number was very small, so they could not be bought.

The simple canteen is located under the West Mountain Pass, and a simple and rough shed is built, and the cook is the big man in the Zhuangzi.

Generally, it is coarse grain steamed bread, noodles, plus bone broth and green vegetables, although simple, but not lacking in nutrition, and the most important thing is that the amount is very sufficient.

Men and big boys went to help, hundreds of them.

Many women and children also wanted to earn a salary, and Li Wuchang didn't let them do such heavy work, so he asked them to do a job such as delivering water and washing vegetables, either to pick some herbs to make herbal tea, or to cut some forage as a donkey's ration.

Zhao Xun was in charge of the overall project, and Fat Bear Lu Desheng took several brothers to inspect the project, think of some convenient ways to work, and at the same time remind the farmers to pay attention to safety.

The patrol team is still there, with Zhai Changping and Cao Hao in charge, bringing Nie Quan and Xie Changhao, plus a group of veterans, patrolling around, in case there are bandits who are not afraid of death making trouble, Li Wuchang gave an order, for the kind of bandits who dare to make trouble in Erduzizhuang, don't be polite, let's talk about the disabled.

Everywhere is very lively, and the old people who are okay will take their grandchildren to look around, and their mouths are full of admiration, and Zhuangzi is finally a little angry, not as lifeless as before.

Although they didn't quite understand why there were two roads to build in the crops.

Li Wuchang was not idle, he took Jiang Minglun to build a blacksmith shop in the past few days, and when he was sweeping the bandits' den, he seized quite a lot of ironware, and it was useless to hold it, so he thought about returning to the furnace.

There are several veterans in the village who are old blacksmiths, who have used to fight weapons, and have a great say in the blacksmith shop, and Li Wuchang invited them over as staff officers.

The place is planned, the area is very large, the foundation is laid, the pattern is planned, and then directly built with green bricks, there is no ambiguity at all, there is no shortage of manpower, there is no shortage of materials, within a few days, the prototype will come out, make a simple roof shade, and start to strike iron.

Iron tools, weapons, pots, and irons seized from the bandits' dens were all returned to the furnace to make all kinds of farm tools, hoes, shovels, chisels, and so on.

"Haha, Lao Chen, your skills are okay, this shovel is decent, thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do with this pile of broken copper and iron. Li Wuchang took a shovel and waved it, his mouth full of admiration.

Lao Chen Hanhan smiled and said: "The owner of the village has won the award, I used to play weapons, and it is natural to fight these farm tools, you say, so much scrap iron is made into shovels and hoes? Do you want to get something else?"

Li Wuchang said: "Let's play more shovels first, I look at the posture in the crop field, it is estimated that the two roads will be repaired soon, and then the time will be to dig that piece of muddy land, it is not a matter if you don't have the tools you have at hand, there are no requirements, just like this one in my hand." ”

Lao Chen replied: "Okay, the owner, go and take a rest, you are also tired these days, you are such a big boy, you are like a coolie, everyone is embarrassed, you just have an idea, and the rough work will be handed over to us." ”

Lao Chen said, and several other blacksmiths echoed him.

To be honest, they have all seen Li Wuchang's efforts these days, he is really like a coolie, he has shoveled mud, pushed the cart, and has never complained of hardship, he is always happy, there is no shelf at all, and he is very easy to get along with.

It made everyone embarrassed, and they knew that this young farmer was really for everyone's good, so they worked harder.

In fact, Li Wuchang is also idle, just help a few hands, and practice true qi by the way, this little work is not difficult for him at all.

Li Wuchang laughed and said, "It's okay, you guys will fight first, rest for a while when you're tired, I'll go have a cup of tea first, this ghost weather, it is estimated that it will be another year of drought." ”

With that, he put down the shovel and came to the tea house on the other side.

At this time, Jiang Minglun came over, holding a letter in his hand, and said with a solemn face: "Stunned, someone sent a letter to the owner's mansion, Aunt He received it, Aunt He said that it was from Chang'an City, the sneaky one who sent the letter, and ran away when he sent it, he didn't say who sent it, only said that it was very important, and it must be handed over to Lord Li." ”

Li Wuchang turned the envelope, opened it, and found that it was a small note and a copper coin inside.

"Beware of killers these days!" Li Wuchang whispered.

Jiang Minglun's face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "Stunned, what's the matter?"

Li Wuchang took the copper coin and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Minglun continued to ask: "Could it be that the remnants of the Fire Wolf Gang want to deal with the stunned Shao, and someone notices it, so they will give you a wake-up call?...... Hmph, these guys, I don't think they have suffered enough, Jingzhao's rudder has been ended, and the rudder in the north is almost the same, and they still want to make waves, so they are looking for death. ”

Li Wuchang shook his head, threw the copper coin, and said, "The letter was sent by the money steward in our house." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I guess my eldest lady wants to deal with me." ”

Jiang Minglun's face darkened, he knew the grievances between Li Wuchang and the Zhang family, and said fiercely at the moment: "It is estimated that she saw that you were knighted, and you made a name for yourself in Zhuangzi, I am afraid that you will threaten your eldest brother's status, what should we do now?"

Li Wuchang sighed: "To be honest, I never thought about fighting with my eldest brother...... However, since everyone has grievances, they can only cover up the water with soldiers. ”

Jiang Minglun frowned and said: "Killer? That must not be a simple role, no, you want to pull Brother Xun back, and I will protect you closely, I see if that killer will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, if he dares to come, he will have no return." ”

Li Wuchang shook his head and said, "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thief the day before yesterday." ”

Exhaling a breath, he continued, "Let's assume that there is a killer watching me in the dark, and we will play a game of hunter and prey with him. ”

Jiang Minglun frowned, not very understanding.

Li Wuchang explained: "Now that he is in the dark and I am in the light, he will definitely find the best opportunity to start, so I will give him the best opportunity to start and lure him out." ”

Jiang Minglun said: "I am stunned to say, we deliberately create the appearance that you are alone, and Brother Xun and I are hiding in the dark, waiting for that guy to come out, and then we will have a three-sided attack?"

Li Wuchang looked at me and said fiercely: "If you want to get rid of me secretly, then there won't be a big movement, the killers should be one or several, tonight we will discuss a plan with Brother Xun, Changping and Haozi, and fight with these killers to see who is the prey." ”

Jiang Minglun nodded.

The next day, the plan began to be implemented.

Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun wandered around, looking east and west, and occasionally going to Lian Pian Mountain to have a look, while Zhao Xun was still directing the road construction.

On the surface, Li Wuchang was only protected by Jiang Minglun, and every time he entered the mountain, the two would find an opportunity to be separated for a while.

It's a pity that a few days have passed, and there are many times when you are alone, but the killer never shows up.

However, Li Wuchang had a feeling of being targeted, and he didn't dare to relax at all, and still acted according to the plan.

"Minglun, you see, this land is the most suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Li Wuchang collected a bit of dirt and looked at the surroundings.

"Yes, I can't see it, or I'm stunned that you're amazing. Jiang Minglun looked left and right and pouted.

"Alas, I've been walking for a long time, let's take a break, is there still any water?" Li Wuchang sat down and asked.

Jiang Minglun took out a bamboo tube and shook it, and said, "No, why don't I go to the other side of the mountain to get some water?" There is a stream over there." ”

Li Wuchang said: "I know the stream, but it's far away, why don't we go there together." ”

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "It's okay, the sun is so big, you can take a cool ride for a while, and we'll go back after looking at a place." ”

With that, he left.

Li Wuchang was bored and hummed a little tune.

The sound of breaking wind sounded, and Li Wuchang's heart was shocked.

Grandma is a bear, finally here.

It's been a few days.

"Lord Li is so Yaxing, singing a little song on this barren mountain. "Here is a scar-faced capable man, in his thirties, with a long sword in his hand.

"Who are you?" Li Wuchang's face was solemn.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you're going to die. Scarface smiled, looking Li Wuchang up and down, his eyes contemptuous, as if he was dying.

"Why did you kill me?" Li Wuchang said calmly, his voice trembling.

"For 40,000 taels of silver, this is still discounted. "Scarface is in his hands and quite patient.

"I'm a viscount, my father is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, if you kill me, you will be wiped out by the Nine Clans. Li Wuchang was still very scared and wanted to scare the other party with his identity.

"Don't worry, I'll do it clean. Scarface said with a sneer, he had seen too much of Li Wuchang's expression, and his expression was very inward.

"Don't come here, I've got help. Li Wuchang said tremblingly.

"Haha, I've been waiting for a few days to wait for an opportunity, and your bodyguard is probably still on his way to help you fetch water, as you said, that stream is far away, and I only need to blink an eye to kill you. Scarface laughed.

"Help!" Li Wuchang shouted at the top of his voice, and walked back with a big card.

Scarface chased after him with a sinister smile and said, "Don't run away, it's useless, I'm a seven-rank master." ”

A sword stabbed at me.

Just as he was about to stab Li Wuchang through with a sword, Li Wuchang suddenly looked back and drew his sword and swung it out.

"Dang!"

The two fought hard.

Li Wuchang was shocked back a few steps, raised his knife and pointed at the other party, his face completely without the scared look just now.

Although Scarface was not shocked, he was shocked.

Damn, the information is wrong.

This Li Wuchang has martial arts, and he is quite extraordinary.
