In a civilian house in Jinling City, four soldiers rummaged through the house like wolves and looted things. And the owners of the house all curled up on the ground, not daring to move.

Two quarters of an hour later, four soldiers packed the looted items into boxes. An old woman who was huddled on the ground saw the jade Buddha in the soldier's hand, and she didn't want to rush up and shout, "You robbers are not afraid of thunder and thunder, and even the Bodhisattva snatched it." ”

The old woman got up so suddenly that the young woman beside her didn't notice it and fell to the ground.

With a wave of the soldier's hand, the old woman fell to the ground. The old woman did not get up, but lay down on the bed and wept bitterly.

The oldest soldier among the four was bored with this, and scolded: "If you make any more noise, Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

When the old woman heard this, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she made another sound.

The oldest soldier looked at the young woman who had tripped over her and said, "Stand up, you." ”

Although the young woman was dressed in coarse cloth and had a strong belly, she did not lose her appearance in the slightest.

Seeing this, the soldier next to him lowered his voice and said, "Old cat, don't forget the military order. "There is a clause in the military order, whoever rapes/fornicates with a woman, shall be beheaded. The soldier was reminding the old cat, don't be fooled by beauty and lose your life.

The old cat glanced at the person who was talking to him and said, "You think I am you, and I can handle the smell of incense." "For a big belly, he doesn't have such a heavy taste.

When the young woman heard this, she held her stomach and cried and begged for mercy: "Uncle, please spare me!"

The old cat said gloomily: "If you don't stand up again, don't blame me for destroying you." "Old cats are actually there to scare people. Although they can come out and loot property, they must not harm innocent people.

The young woman was so frightened that she couldn't get up at all. Finally, in the murderous eyes of the old cat, the man next to the woman helped her up.

The old cat stared at the young woman for a moment, then pulled out the knife and put it on the man's neck and said, "Take out what she has hidden, or don't blame me for not having a long eye." ”

The young man was so frightened that he was incontinent, and said with a sad face: "Yu Niang, give them something, hurry up." ”

The other three soldiers watched as the young woman cried as she pulled out the gold and silver jewelry from her bosom. Of course, her bulging belly gradually deflated.

Seeing this, the soldier holding the jade Buddha in his hand just now couldn't help but scold: "Damn, I really know how to hide." It seems that if they don't let them bleed, they won't hand over all the things. "Who would have thought that this would be a fake pot-bellied woman!

The old cat said: "No matter how much you squeeze it, you can't squeeze anything, hurry up and put things into boxes." "When she saw the woman crying like her father had died, she knew that she had no more possessions.

In this one alone, the four of them looted more than 20 boxes. The old cat saw that it was almost over, and immediately went out and asked someone to pull the cart and load it. In the past, the Northwest soldiers did not rob civilians, but the problem is that those rich people will transfer their belongings to civilian areas when they get the news. So now, the civilian area is not spared. But the people who can be sent out to loot things are those who are old. These people have very poisonous eyes, whether they are rich or not, they can knock it out at a glance.

The things were carried away, and a couple of soldiers patted their butts and left. The old woman looked at the messy house and cried loudly: "Why didn't the Bodhisattva kill these robbers who killed a thousand knives? God, do you have long eyes?"

The young woman was so angry that her eyes turned red: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been discovered." ”

When the old woman heard this, she was furious: "Are you against the sky?" and dared to say her.

The young woman also let go at this time: "I'll still scold you." If it weren't for you, an old immortal, my gold and silver jewelry would have been saved. The livelihood of such a family is also settled for the time being. Now that there's nothing left, what will you do in the future?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did it, but the soldiers who had already gone away could not hear it.

The thin soldier asked admiringly, "Old cat, how do you know that the woman's belly is fake?"

The old cat said: "With such a big belly, if you are pushed to the ground, you will definitely have fetal gas." But the woman, as if nothing happened, got up on her own. "It's also that the young woman has never conceived a child, so she doesn't pretend to be. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so easy to spot.

The thin soldier said, "It seems that you have to pay attention next time, but you can't be exploited by these people again." "There are all kinds of places where these people hide things, they are all pediatrics hidden in wells and dug pits, some are thrown in toilets and latrines, and this time there are even big-bellied women who hide their stomachs. I have to say, they are really insightful.

The old cat said: "It is impossible to scavenge clean, it is almost done." "These days come out, every time they come back with a full load. They used to loot them all, and they didn't necessarily have so many things at once. I have to say that Jinling is worthy of being the richest place in the world.

Because of this wanton looting of property, the Northwest soldiers left a name as a robber in Jiangnan. Of course, the soldiers in the Northwest would not care even if they heard it.

Guan Taile said hehehe: "This time I really made a fortune." "The list of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin, and those beautiful embroideries is really endless. As for military supplies such as medicinal herbs and food, Guan Tai was so happy that he didn't close his mouth when he saw it for the first time.

Yun Qing said lightly: "Most of the wealth in Jiangnan is gathered in the silver treasury of Qiantang Yu Baojia. "If he can take away Yu Baojia's silver treasury, he and Yuxi don't have to worry about money for the time being.

Du Zheng said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true. ”

At noon that day, Yunqing received a letter from Yuxi. After reading it, Yunqing's face was not very good-looking.

Seeing this, Du Zheng asked, "Lord Wang, is there anything going on in Ho City?" The battle ahead is going well, and Xihai and Yucheng haven't heard any unfavorable news, normally there shouldn't be anything wrong with Ho City.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's some housework." He didn't want to tell anyone else about Okhee's plans. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, otherwise Yu Yuxi's reputation will be hindered.

Du Zheng wondered a little in his heart, how could the princess tell the princess about some troublesome housework, this is not like what the princess does. However, Du Zheng was also measured and didn't ask.

Yun Qing said to Du Zheng: "You go down first! I want to be quiet." ”

In his heart, Yunqing did not agree with Yuxi's method. But he also knew that although Yuxi's method was not fair, it could achieve the goal at the lowest cost. Yunqing knew that Yuxi was not wrong to do this, but he was still very uncomfortable in his heart.

Guan Tai asked Du Zheng a little strangely: "What happened, why do you feel that the prince is in a bad mood?" Although Yunqing always has a cold face, it is not as cold as now, it can freeze slag.

Du Zheng said: "The princess told the prince about some housework, and the prince was not in a good mood. As for what it was, the prince didn't say, and I didn't want to ask. ”

Guan Tai complained a little: "The princess is really true." The prince is fighting here, how can he still use some trivial household chores to upset the prince?"

Du Zheng shook his head and said: "If it is just a trivial matter at home, the princess will definitely not write a letter to tell the prince, I am afraid this matter will not be simple." ”

Guan Tai thought about Yuxi's character, but nodded and said, "Since the prince doesn't say it, then it's not easy for us to ask." ”

Gao Song is not like Du Zheng and the others, when he heard about this, he found an opportunity to ask Yun Qing: "Lord, what did the princess say that made you so annoyed?"

Yun Qing felt that this was very right, and it seemed as if Yuxi deliberately said something that bothered him. Yun Qing glanced at Gao Song and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Gao Song heard the displeasure in Yun Qing's words, but his face was not obvious, and he said respectfully: "The prince has been frowning for the past few days, I looked a little worried, and I asked Du Zheng to know that it was the matter of the palace. ”

Yun Qing snorted and said, "It's just some trivial housework, there's nothing to worry about." No matter how much Yunqing doesn't want to say more, even if Yuxi acts a little wrong, he can't be criticized by others.

Takamatsu smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved." ”

Yun Qing remembered something and said, "I heard that you received a beauty last night?" Those officials who surrendered wanted to find shelter, so they tried to send them a beauty. As for the money, they have already handed it over honestly. As for whether they will all be handed in, I can't say this.

There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and few normal men can bear it when they see those charming beauties. Of course, except for those who have excellent concentration, and Yunqing belongs to this kind of person. also because Yunqing did not accept it, Du Zheng, Guan Tai and others also confiscated it.

Gao Song's heart tightened, nodded and said, "Yes!" The beauty was pitiful and charming, and he accepted it without holding back for a while. I didn't expect the prince to know so soon. However, last night, that beauty made him enjoy the ultimate happiness, and he did not regret it even if he was held accountable by Yunqing.

Yunqing said: "You have to be measured, don't indulge in beauty. "There is a saying that is very good, beauty town, hero mound. He originally wouldn't have taken care of such a personal matter as the following generals taking in beauties, but now he was worried that they would be intoxicated with gentleness and lose their fighting spirit.

Gao Song smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't." Saying this on the face, I was thinking in my heart that the taste of Jiangnan women is indeed different from that of women in the northwest.

Yunqing stayed in Jinling for ten days, and after settling everything down, he led his troops to attack Suzhou. As for Du Zheng and Guan Tai, they led their troops to fight Yangzhou and Jiangzhou five days ago.

The news of Jinling reached the capital one by one. Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "Yunqing not only robbed those squires and wealthy families and official families this time, but also didn't let go of the ordinary people. ”

Meng Nian was a little surprised: "Even the ordinary people don't let go, what's the difference between this and robbers?"

Yan Wushuang said: "There are originally many bandits and robbers in the Northwest Army. These people are best at looting money. There was a thick sarcasm in the words. Yun Qing was such a bright and upright person before, but under the influence of Han Yuxi, he became like a robber.

Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said: "Women, sometimes it's really scary. "It can change a person's temperament, not what is terrible.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "It should be said that a woman like Han Yuxi is terrifying." "Without Han Yuxi, there would be no Yunqing today.

As he was talking, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded outside: "Lord Wang, Tongcheng is in a hurry." "In February, Yan Wushuang received news that the Donghu people had gathered troops and horses to prepare to attack Liaodong, so Liaodong had been preparing for war for the past two months. This is also the reason why Yan Wushuang did not let Lou Qingyun send troops.

Yan Wushuang's face was a little ugly when he received the battle report: "I didn't expect the Donghu people to be so fierce this time. "Tongcheng is almost unable to withstand the attack of the Donghu people.

Tongcheng was in a hurry, and Qiu Dashan soon knew the news. Qiu Dashan asked for war to go to Tongcheng on the same day. Qiu Dashan said, "Lord Wang, I can't do anything if I stay in the capital, you just let me go back to Tongcheng!"

Yan Wushuang thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. Because of the urgency of the war, Qiu Dashan set off immediately without delay.

Tie Kui received a handwritten letter from Qiu Dashan the next day. Seeing Qiu Dashan saying in the letter that he regretted that Tie Kui couldn't kill the Donghu people with him, Tie Kui smiled bitterly. Even if he wasn't sick, Yan Wushuang wouldn't let him go to Liaodong.

Zhong Shantong said one thing to Tie Kui: "Kuizi, I heard that if it weren't for Lu Gang, Tongcheng might have been attacked by the Donghu people. "Once Tongcheng is broken, the entire Liaodong will be in the midst of war.

Tie Kui said: "Lu Gang has made such a great achievement, I believe that Second Master Lu will have a better life." After speaking, Tie Kui couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, Lin Fengyuan can be regarded as a man." At that time, the second master of the Lu family and his family were in trouble, and everyone avoided it like a plague, for fear of being implicated. Only Lin Fengyuan, who was not afraid of being implicated and even less afraid of being suspicious of Yan Wushuang, came forward to settle the second master Lu's family.

When Zhong Shantong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lin Fengyuan also asked for battle this time, but the prince did not agree. ”

Tie Kui chuckled: "Lin Fengyuan is very talented and has a good character, but it's a pity that his master and senior brothers and sisters are all Yuxi's henchmen, and Yan Wushuang is not at ease with him." "The person who can reassure Yan Wushuang is really too many to count in two slaps.

Speaking of Lin Fengyuan's master, Zhong Shantong couldn't help but say: "I heard that the medicine made by this surnamed Master Yang has a very good effect and can save lives at critical moments, I don't know if it's true?"

Tie Kui said: "I should be able to meet me when I have the opportunity in the future." Speaking of which, this is also Yuxi's ability. In the past, everyone only knew that Master Yang was good at martial arts, but they didn't know that he was also good at medicine. "On the battlefield, a bottle of good medicine can save a soldier's life at a life-and-death moment. So Yuxi discovered this talent of Master Yang, and I don't know how many soldiers' lives were saved.

Zhong Shantong said: "I don't know if I will have a chance to meet Princess Pingxi in the future?"

When Tie Kui heard this, he looked at Zhong Shan with disapproval and said, "Don't say these bad things in the future, we will definitely be able to meet Yuxi." "He is Yuxi's own uncle, and he can see Yuxi as long as he lives.

Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "I'll pay attention next time." "The main reason is that Zhong Shantong has no bottom in his heart, so he will say such frustrating words.

Tie Kui didn't dwell too much on this matter: "Is it still calm in the mansion these days?" He has been sick for more than half a month, and I believe that the people on the periphery have withdrawn. As for the mansion, it will not leave for a while, and as for those hidden in the shadows, it is even more impossible to go.

Zhong Shantong said: "Except for Aunt Lu who made a fuss a few times, the mansion has been quite calm these days. Speaking of this, Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "Since Mrs. came back from Zhuangzi, it was like a different person, and the inner courtyard was kept in order, and Aunt Lu didn't get a bargain when she made a fuss in front of her." ”

Xiao's previous disadvantage was not because she was incapable, but because she had a grudge against Tie Kui, and she didn't have enough confidence in her heart for not having a son. But now that she knows that Tie Kui has a hard time and has given birth to a son, she will naturally not be tossed by Aunt Lu anymore.

Tie Kui hummed and said, "That's good." "He can also leave all the family affairs to the Xiao family.
