After more than half a year of construction, the Jiangdongmen Thousand Households Office has long since lost the poor appearance of the past.

Thanks to the efforts of more than 20,000 displaced people and military households for more than half a year, the roads and houses of the 1,000 households in Jiangdongmen have undergone great changes. Although the walls of the Thousand Houses have not changed much, the road outside the city walls has been expanded, and a wide road that can accommodate at least six carriages in parallel extends from the outside of the castle to the city of Nanjing, and rows of willow trees are planted on both sides of the road, and the breeze blows, and the rows of willow branches sway in the wind.

When Li Youzhi and his entourage set foot on this road, they were stunned for the first time.

This is an amazingly smooth road, and the pavement is not mud or bluestone, let alone gravel, but something they have never seen before, the whole road is tightly seamless, there is no gap, when Li Youzhi and his party walked on the road, they could hardly believe their eyes.

"This ...... What is this road made of, so smooth and neat? It's not bluestone, it's not brick, it's not earth. Master Li, you are a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and you are well-informed, can you tell your subordinates what makes this road from? Yushi Lu Jianshen looked at the ground under his feet and was amazed and curious, and finally asked Li Youzhi, after all, Li Youzhi is not only the highest official position in their group, but also the squire of the Ministry of Industry, and he also has the most say in this kind of thing.

Li Youzhi smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Let you laugh, although this official works in the Ministry of Industry, he has never seen such a magical thing, and he is really ashamed to be able to pave such a smooth and hard road." ”

Hearing Li Youzhi's words, even the few imperial historians and officials who had the deepest prejudice against Yang Feng couldn't help but look at each other, since entering the boundary of the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households, they found that many things were beyond their imagination, whether it was a three-story tall waterwheel or a surprisingly wide and smooth road that they had never seen before, and then thinking of Yang Feng's letter, some people couldn't help but faintly have a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Let's go...... Let's go inside the castle and have a look! In the end, Li Youzhi simply waved his hand and led everyone towards the castle, but the road was not destined to be too smooth, and when they walked near the castle gate, the situation happened again.

"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way...... Do you have eyes, can you walk! A loud voice sounded in front, and then a guy driving the carriage jumped out of the car, pointed at Li Youzhi and his party and scolded, "Good dogs know how to get in the way, how do you go?" ”

Li Youzhi and his entourage were Qincha, and they were all angry for a while, and one of the guards jumped off the horse on the spot, took out the long knife on his waist, and put it on the man's neck, and said with a cruel smile: "What do you say, do you know who we are?" Believe it or not, if you kill you on the spot, you will die in vain? ”

In the face of the bright steel knife, if ordinary people would have weak legs, but the amazing guy didn't know whether it was fearless or other reasons, I saw him pointing to his neck and sneering at the guard: "Come on, if you have the ability, you can cut it down according to it." But before you cut it, bother you to look at the back. ”

These guards who escorted Qin to come were all elites selected from the brocade guards, and they didn't scare anyone even in the capital on weekdays, but now when they saw a little guy daring to stand up to him, their eyes showed murderous intent for a while. Furious in his heart, he had already made up his mind, although he couldn't kill this daring guy in broad daylight in front of so many people, he must be given a lesson that he will never forget, otherwise Jinyiwei's face would not exist.

I saw him raise the steel knife in his hand, and when he was about to hit the guy with the back of the knife with his wrist, he heard a loud shout not far away: "Stop! ”

The guard followed the sound and saw two sergeants in strange green costumes and armed with muskets running from the city gate, and the two sergeants were running towards him and shouting warnings, one of whom had already pulled a sharp whistle from his neck and put it in his mouth.

"Stop, who are you? Hurry up and put down your weapons! ”

The two sergeants had already pointed their guns at them, and the bayonets on their heads flashed in the scorching sun.

Seeing the two sergeants, the guard was slightly surprised, but he didn't have any fear. Who are they, they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they are the world-famous brocade guards, and who are these sergeants, they are just a group of poor military households who are so poor that they are tinkling, if he is even afraid of these poor military households, then simply don't do this, go home and pick up the children as soon as possible.

He looked at the sergeant again, and found that although the two sergeants had their left legs in front and their right legs behind, and the firecrackers in their hands were also aimed at him, their voices trembled, and their legs were shaking slightly. Seeing this, the guard smiled contemptuously, only to see him glaring at the two sergeants and shouting viciously: "Boy, do you know who we are? I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, and wait for the master to teach this kid a lesson, and then come to take care of you, and teach you how to play a lighter! He burst out laughing.

"Hahaha......"

One of the guards behind him also laughed wildly, in their opinion, the two sergeants of the guard, and the two rookies who had never seen blood, were no different from grass chickens, and they might have forgotten how to fire when they held the slightly trembling hands of the fire guns.

Li Youzhi and his entourage frowned slightly after seeing the actions of these guards, these people were too vulgar, but no one including Li Youzhi stood up to stop them, but acquiesced to the actions of these guards.

Seeing that the adults behind him did not stop talking, the guard became even bolder, and he shouted with a wild laugh: "Come here, boy, see that you have fine skin and tender meat, come here and let my brother take good care of you!" ”

With that, he let go of his left hand, which had grabbed the man's collar, and grabbed the musket in the hand of one of the sergeants closest to him.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the sergeant, who had been a little panicked, suddenly let out a loud roar when he saw the guard's outstretched hand, and the fire gun in his hand stabbed at the guard's outstretched arm without thinking.

There was only a soft thud, and the bayonet stabbed the guard in the left arm, and then a stream of blood spurted out as the bayonet was drawn, followed by a terrible scream......
