This time, Ling Qingyu had a hard time with her menstruation, and her blood volume was so high that she was so dizzy that she couldn't get out of bed, and fell asleep on the bed in a half-drowsy state.
Huazheng restricted his brothers to only move around on the first floor. He was very polite when he met Yan San these days, but he didn't know what happened upstairs. The faces of the guards were very bad. It has never happened before, and women will not feel better when they encounter such things. Could it be that Master Ling did something stupid because he was ashamed? After thinking about it, if he really did something stupid, I'm afraid that Yan San would kill the whole boat instead of running to the kitchen so often.
Yan San changed the cloth towel under Ling Qingyu, and saw that the blood had soaked the entire cotton cloth, and Ling Qingyu's face was even paler. Sleeping on the bed, with a throbbing pain in his heart, he silently cleaned it up, got up and went to outside the door.
"Yan Qi, find a ghost doctor." Leaning against the door, Yan San bowed his head.
"Ying Shisan and Ying Shi disembarked in Suzhou ahead, but the ghost doctor's whereabouts are erratic, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find." Yan Qi bit her lower lip and said: "How about I go to Qingyun Peak."
"No, it's almost July, you can't come back in time." Yan San rubbed his forehead and said.
After bleeding for four days, on the fifth day, Ling Qingyu finally regained consciousness, and then yelled that she was hungry and wanted to eat fish and meat.
Master Ling's hobbies are gold, silver and jewelry for watching and playing, and delicious food to eat anytime and anywhere, so as long as she can, there are good cooks on the boat she sits on, and the cooks on this special seat are also very good. The day Yan San robbed the business, it was because he was blowing his beard and staring at him very unwillingly. He was overjoyed when he heard that the head of the family wanted big fish and meat, and he prepared a table of dishes in a short time.
After eating and drinking, Ling Qingyu really had the feeling that I, Hu Hansan, had come back again. The days of being sore and limp and bleeding were really not human life. After eating, he patted his stomach and suddenly found that Yan San's face was very haggard. Even the dregs of the beard grew, and he asked unconsciously, "Yan San, are you the same as me?"
Turning around again, Yan Qi's beautiful face like a woman actually had a beard, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What have you two been doing these few days?" Normally, he used a sword as a razor to shave to kill boredom. It's really frightening that the people in this class look like this, okay
Seeing her look like this, she was sure she had recovered, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. The amount of bleeding was comparable to a few cuts on their body, and it hurt more than a few cuts on their body. Girl, it really passed It's hard work.
The atmosphere on the boat became normal, and we arrived in Yangzhou within two days. People from the Huashan faction got off the boat and left here, and nine people from Longmen also went. Ling Qingyu originally said that you can all go, but Lin Jinglin must follow her In the end, Ling Qingyu had no choice but to agree.
With no outsiders on board, life is much more comfortable. From time to time, Lin Jinglin is invited to come up to play horse hanging and play cards. No need to resort to extreme means, after everyone beat her to death for not betting with her for cash, they also saw that this female boss was really bold and forthright, with stickers all over her face, and she could even push the note away with one hand Lianzi didn't leave the table when she drew a hand of cards.
After a few days of such relaxed and happy days, Lin Jinglin understood how much face she had given him by letting those outsiders board the boat. There is no maid to wait on Mrs. Ling's family, and she takes care of everything by herself. She is very easy-going, but these are all based on the fact that this world is her own. Once there are outsiders, she will become restrained and polite.
In May, Heishuiguan is full of greenery, and the winding city wall forms a scenic line on the rolling mountains.
On the city wall, there are three steps, one person, five steps and one post, and the spears are cold and solemn.
"General Yang is really good at leading troops." Han Bian sighed: "Such elite soldiers are going to be dismissed as old, weak, sick and disabled. The court is trying to destroy the Great Wall." Yang Zhao smiled and said, "They are afraid that I am not twice a day. Holy shit, now that the peace talks are successful and there is no more fighting at the border, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I put so many soldiers under my command."
Han Bian shook his head and said, "Short-sighted, the new king of Liao has been unstable since he ascended the throne, so he came to peace talks. Once his country is stable, he will naturally come to beg for our Great Zhou land."
Yang Zhao looked to the distance beyond the mountains and said, "I have divided the soldiers who have disarmed and returned to the fields into four battalions. Meng Su Fang Nianyuan and Du Ming Guan Xiao will each lead one battalion. You can take the two battalions to the northwest so that they can reclaim wasteland. There will be a truce in the past two years on the Liao side, but there have been many changes on the Dangxiang side recently. The land area on your side is too large, so you still need to do a good job of defense. One battalion is in the mine on the east side of the road, and there is another battalion. , let Qing Yu take it out to sea."
Han Bian's heart was shocked. He wanted to be a private soldier, so he asked unconsciously, "Aren't you afraid that the court will find out?"
Yang Zhao chuckled, and said, "Those soldiers were ordered by the imperial court to be disarmed and returned to the fields. Now they are going to farm. Is there something wrong? In the northwest, the rich and powerful families guarded their manors, and Yinzhou is even more war-torn. Well, they won't think so much, but it's better not to use the name of the Ling family, the Ling family is already a bit conspicuous."
Now that the Ling family's silver building has gained a firm foothold in several big cities because of the secret support of the Xiao family, it has also spread restaurants, silk shops, spice shops, and rice. Just these shops are already enviable. Han Bian nodded and said, "Understood, I will find other people to do it in the name of others, but your mine on Hedong Road is also a little hole-in-the-wall."
Yang Zhao lowered his eyes. Ling Qingyu's latest letter mentioned that he wanted to build an iron ore mine and recruit iron households for smelting. Da Zhou has always strictly controlled iron and copper. Now it is not a good time to intervene in the name of the Ling family. But since she mentioned this matter, she must have her own ideas and plans. After pondering for a while, Yang Zhao said: "It's okay, Qingyu still wants to hire some mines, let's use my name, not hers, these things, Make sure to get rid of her."
Han Bian was even more surprised. Yang Zhao was already under suspicion by the court. If he was willing to join one of the factions, he might be able to receive some protection. But he rejected all the marriages of the Wang family and the Dong family. Now that he is involved in Tieye, I'm afraid it's even more an excuse for those people. After thinking for a while, Han Bian said: "No, the Ling family has been providing you with military rations. If something happens to you, the Ling family will definitely not be able to escape. I will find someone else for the iron ore business. There are always people who are greedy for profit and willing to cooperate. The Ling family wants It is ore, after the ore is packaged, it will be submitted to the imperial court, and the rest can be handled by itself.”
"No, Mr. Han," Yang Zhao said with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid she wants the iron ore because of my black water pass, but you are right, if something happens to me , must implicate her, as you said."
"I heard that the Zhao family army on Hebei Road was also ordered to clean up the army this time." Han Bian suddenly laughed.
"That's right, that kid Zhao Yinfeng still doesn't want to leave." Yang Zhao's face darkened slightly. It stands to reason that Zhao Yinfeng had participated in the peace talks, so he must have known something a long time ago. Although his leg was broken, He also had a high fever for half a month, but he didn't go back to deal with it after the high fever was over, it was a bit strange, not to mention that this kid went around looking for a woman named Herring after waking up. , he is afraid that he still wants to hang on.
"This time four lieutenants have left, and the following are all recruits. General Yang, you..." Han Bian sighed, and didn't go on. The four lieutenants of Zhaowu who were already the sixth rank were not among the ranks of disarmed and returned to the field. , now abandoning the official position to become a steward of a farm, it is really...
"Give me a year, and the scattered soldiers will naturally become elite soldiers." Yang Zhao said lightly, with unquestionable confidence in his words.
Han Bian smiled in relief. Looking at such a military appearance, Yang Zhao's ability to lead the army can be seen.
The main camp of the Zhao family army in Bazhou.
"Is there no such person?" Looking at the kneeling subordinates below, Zhao Yinfeng asked again.
"Yes, I have searched for all the families in the vicinity, and there is no woman named Herring who is eighteen or nineteen years old." The subordinate's forehead dripped with sweat again, general, you have already told us to turn over the county. It's skyrocketing.
Zhao Yinfeng sat back in the armchair, waved his hand and said, "Got it."
"Then, do you still need to look for it?" the subordinate asked cautiously.
"No need, everyone withdraw." Zhao Yinfeng said.
Hearing his answer, the subordinate breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated out. If the investigation continues in that Dai County like this, I am afraid that the people in Heishuiguan will explode. This time, they have already lost sight of their noses.
who are you? Zhao Yinfeng supported his head, closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly remembered that night again, and his body became a little hot.
"General, a letter from the old general." Zhao Wei walked in quickly, with an eagle on his arm.
"En, bring it here." As soon as Zhao Yinfeng opened his eyes, all the confusion disappeared immediately, she was just a woman, and there was no need to worry about it at this troubled time.
"What did the old general say?" Seeing that Zhao Yinfeng had been deep in thought after reading the letter, Zhao Wei asked unconsciously.
"The old man said that we should use part of the vacant salary as a reduction quota to pay the next emperor. Yang Zhao said that the cuts directly moved 20,000 people. If we don't move at all, we can't justify it." Zhao Yinfeng trembled. Shake the letter.
"But the salary has been reduced, and money is a little tight this year." Zhao Wei said cautiously.
"Didn't you mean to open a discussion here? You can go to some merchants and ask if they can cooperate." Zhao Yinfeng ground his teeth and said. The old man did not give the huge accumulation left over from before to him but to Zhao Mingliang. Now the money given by the court is only enough for food, and he still has to figure out how to prepare for himself.
"Isn't the imperial court going to send another person to manage the dispute?" Seeing Zhao Yinfeng's expression, Zhao Wei said, "Understood, we have the final say on our territory."
