With a swishing arrow, the rabbit that was about to jump back into the hole was nailed to the door of the rabbit hole. Meng Su put down his bow, glanced at Du Ming, and then raised his chin.
Du Ming was very depressed, well, why did he forget that this guy is a sharp archer? He hunted without dismounting at all.
Depressed, Du Ming dismounted to pick up the rabbits. Before he could look up, he heard the sound of horseshoes. He looked again and saw that Meng Su had already galloped away. Du Ming turned around and saw Yan San leaning against a tree with his eyes closed for a nap. stopped.
"Meng Su, don't run so fast, your injury is still not healed!" Ling Qingyu shouted.
Seeing that no one was following, Meng Su slowed down his horse and rode into a valley. There was a small stream flowing through the valley, and some trees grew sparsely beside it.
Meng Su got off the horse, and then helped Ling Qingyu down as well.
Before Ling Qingyu's feet hit the ground, he was hugged into the man's arms, and he could feel the thick bandages inside through his clothes. Ling Qingyu's heart softened, and he didn't move.
Meng Su lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, carefully but with intense heat.
Ling Qingyu sighed softly in his heart, kissed back, and was encouraged, the kiss became more intense until Ling Qingyu felt that he was about to suffocate, Meng Sufang let her go, and saw her looking at him with bulging eyes, touching her with her fingers With her swollen lip bitten, she turned around and took the bow and arrow from the horse, and walked down to the stream below.
"Meng Su?" Ling Qingyu called out, and saw that he hadn't stopped, so he hurriedly chased after him. She was wearing Yan San's cloak, the cloak was too long and dragged on the ground, when she ran, she stepped on the hem of the cloak, and fell to the ground with an ah.
The expected pain did not come, Meng Su, who should have been several steps ahead, was catching her, making a low muffled grunt.
"Meng Su?" Grasping his arm, Ling Qingyu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Meng Su looked at her, unable to utter a thousand words in his heart, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'll go and see if there are any foxes here, your cloak can no longer be worn, you have to make a new one."
"Meng Su!" Ling Qingyu called out, seeing him turn his head sideways, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed and his eyelids drooping, he breathed a sigh of relief, and called out: "Meng Su..."
"Meng Su, it was an accident. You know that I have a special constitution. I have the snake pill in my body. Once it happens, if you don't do it, the consequences will be more serious." After hesitating for a while, Ling Qingyu decided to make it clear, saying: "That day, you It saved my life, so don't be burdened, really, you can pretend it never happened."
Meng Su was taken aback, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although it was a smile, Ling Qingyu felt that he was about to cry.
"I see." Nodding, Meng Su turned around to leave, just as he turned around, as if lava that had been suppressed for a long time burst out uncontrollably, Meng Su whispered: "Meng Su is willing to do anything for you, Even if I die... I'll be happy with it." After speaking, he gently broke away from her hand and walked towards the stream.
Ling Qingyu was dumbfounded.
Sitting under the tree, Ling Qingyu looked at the sky, I wasn't so popular in my previous life, right? Although it is said that there are people chasing him, but the luck has not reached this point, right? Am I good luck or bad luck? Bah bah bah! You can't take people's sincerity as a joke! But how do you respond to this? It's better to run away, the enthusiasm of young people can't last long, it's just done once, maybe he has a virgin plot? When you meet another woman in the future, you will naturally change your mind? Hey, it doesn’t matter if they are all public here, how about going back to find Han Bian, get some women over here, and solve their life problems
After she ran a lot of train laps, she remembered that Meng Su was still seriously injured, so she stood up worriedly and wanted to look for him, but he saw him walking up with a fox.
"Meng Su." After calling out, Ling Qingyu didn't know what to say again.
Seeing her timidity, far less casual and intimacy than before, Meng Su felt slightly regretful in his heart. Later, he reflected that he was too impulsive. If she didn't know, she would naturally regard him as a close friend. , but now...
After riding on the horse, Meng Su stretched out his hand to Ling Qingyu. Ling Qingyu hesitated for a while, but still passed the hand over, but when sitting on the horse, his body straightened a little.
"You don't have to worry about it." Meng Su hugged her tightly, and said softly on her head: "One night, Su was satisfied. From then on, Meng Su is just your subordinate." I wish for your sword, I wish for you Your shield, you have nothing to ask for or regret in this life.
On the second day, Meng Su and Du Ming led people to send Ling Qingyu and his party to the official road. Seeing that the carriage had completely disappeared from sight from a distance, Du Ming said casually: "Mr. Han said last night that he will go to call Some women, see if they are willing to come to the cottage, and solve the problem of starting a family for the soldiers in the cottage."
"That's right, you can choose one carefully." Meng Su smiled.
"Meng Su you?" Du Ming stared at Meng Su. Something must have happened that night.
"Du Ming, I will never marry another woman in my life." Meng Su said with a faint smile, "I will fight to the death for her. If she goes first, I will die to accompany her."
Du Ming was stunned, he stayed for a while and said: "She definitely doesn't want you to do this."
"It has nothing to do with her, there's no need to let her know." Meng Su smiled and said, "This is just my will." It's just my own will, and it won't cause trouble to you. In this way, if I die one day, you won't be sad, that's fine.
"Let's go." Meng Su turned his horse's head around and drove off with a whip.
After passing the Taihang Mountains, on the way to Dai County, a letter was sent from Jiangnan. When he got the letter on the way, Ling Qingyufang really realized how powerful and fast the channel they established was.
There were three letters, one was sent by the steward of Huai'an Weitian, one was from Cai Jingfang, and the other was from Zheng Xi.
After Han Bian got the letter, he gave the letter from Huai'an to Ling Qingyu, and the imperial court came up with a new plan, setting up a Xicheng office. Ling Qingyu's head grew big when he saw the name. Could it be the notorious Song Huizong? West City Office? Seeing the back, I was even more speechless. The land in Huai'an was originally confiscated by the government because the victims fled the disaster and did not resume farming. After a few years, many original residents came out, claiming to own the land, and now it is owned by Xicheng. The result of the mediation was that the Ling family should return all the land. Because it was illegally held, the money for buying the land did not go to the government and could not be returned.
"The shot is really ruthless." Ling Qingyu sighed. Then opened two other letters. The situation in Suzhou is better. The land bought from the Lin family used the name of the Zheng family to avoid suspicion. The weaving workshops also used the name of the Zheng family. Now Zheng Xi has begun to dismantle other land. Ling Qingyu's instructions were fully compressed, and only started to quietly acquire some industries in other places. At the same time, he had already placed deposits for some large households' surplus grain and silk this year, using the names of different merchants. Now they have been added together and ordered. 600,000 shi of grain and 200,000 bolts of silk.
As for Hangzhou, Cai Jingfang moved faster. The land in Hangzhou was originally a small piece of land. Only the forest in Lin'an is relatively large, but it belongs to the forest land and is not included in the tax. Moreover, Cai Jingfang found the local descendants of the Qian family. , although the descendants of King Wuyue no longer have real power, they still have titles, and there are still many titles, but many families have declined, and they can't even afford food. As for the industries in Hangzhou, Xu Chang maintains most of the shops of the Ling family, so there have been no problems. In order to prevent problems before they happen, Cai Jingfang also began to purchase food, silk, tea, lacquerware, gold and silver, etc., because both sides purchased at the same time. Prices have risen, so they will temporarily stop and then make small-scale acquisitions.
"I was careless." Han Bian sighed.
"It's not that you were careless. Our foundation in Jiangnan is better." Ling Qingyu said. Especially in Hangzhou, Cai Jingfang opened up the relationship from top to bottom. From Xu Chang to Mr. Zheng below, they all supported the Ling family. People don't know the details.
"Wuhu, I'll write again. Some of the fields over there are attached to Mr. Zhang. I guess the Wang family doesn't have the guts to touch him directly." Han Bian said, frowning slightly. The polders in Huai'an are If the place where he spent the most effort was taken away like this, it would be impossible to pass the hurdle in his heart.
"Han Bian, don't worry. The Wang family just wanted money for this deal. They can't give the land to some local households. They still have to resell it. You go to Huai'an to find someone to come forward, and we can buy it back again." Ling Qingyu patted his hand and said.
"This back and forth, but it's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." Han Bian said with a wry smile.
"Let's give the banknote!" Ling Qingyu winked at him and smiled.
Han Bian smiled wryly, but didn't make a sound.
"Why don't you set off for Huai'an now, you can't make up your mind even if you're just in charge," Ling Qingyu said.
"Alright." Han Bian nodded.
Han Bian took two guards to Huai'an on the way, and Ling Qingyu asked Ying Shisan to speed up, hoping to reach Dai County as soon as possible.
It's already February, and Dai County is in a state of confusion.
In Dai County, where the carriage arrived at dusk, the streets were still very lively, and the streets were full of people talking about it. Ling Qingyu frowned more and more, and let the carriage go directly to Yang Zhao's yard quietly.
"The idlers here are not allowed to approach." Before approaching the courtyard, the guard at the door shouted.
"This is my house, why can't I get close?" Ling Qingyu poked his head out and asked.
"What is your house? This is General Yang's house!" The guard's eyes widened as soon as he finished speaking, and he hurriedly pushed away another guard and said, "Yes, it's your house."
Opening the courtyard door, the carriage drove in directly from the side door, and the guards outside had already galloped away on horseback.
The yard seemed to be cleaned frequently, and it was clean inside, even the kang in the master bedroom in the backyard was hot.
"The general ordered me to worry about when you would come, so I cleaned it every day." The guard laughed beside him.
"Are you still guarding here every day?" Ling Qingyu turned around and asked. She recognized the guard, he was the gatekeeper the last time she lived here.
"No, just guarded for half a month." The guard smiled.
"Do you mind if I take a shower?" Ling Qingyu pointed to the bathroom and smiled.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." As soon as the words fell to the ground, the guard blushed, and hurriedly said: "You rest, I will guard outside the door."
