The caravan consisted of twenty-five vehicles, two of which were wagons and three were manned. One of them is for Xie Yuanqing's husband and wife, one is for Xie Yuanqing's sister-in-law, and one is for the two old stewards of the Xie family. The entourage consisted of two hundred and eighteen people on the right. In the scuffle just now, thirty-four people were killed and twenty-seven wounded, nine of whom were seriously wounded. Originally, four or five vehicles were robbed by robbers, but they were also returned, and there was no loss. However, the ropes of several vehicles were cut and the goods were scattered on the ground and needed to be reloaded.

Xie Yuanqing immediately ordered that the deceased be buried on the spot and not reported to the official. This is the usual practice of the caravan, because once the official is reported, there are still many troubles, and the entire caravan has to stay to listen to the interrogation, in case of a corrupt official, maybe it will bite back, and it will not cost thousands of dollars to get out of the way at all, so it is better to deal with the matter by yourself.

Then Xie Yuanqing let his sister-in-law and his wife ride in the same carriage, and accompanied Yang Yan on horseback. Free up a car for a seriously injured person. It was also announced that after arriving in Guangzhou, each of the deceased would be given 200 yuan for settling in, the injured would be given 100 yuan for each of them, and the others would be given 20 yuan for each person. Everyone rejoiced.

Since everyone was busy cleaning up the mess, Xie Yuanqing introduced several key members of the caravan to Yang Yan. The two old stewards, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Zhang, are both fifty or sixty years old, and they have been working in the Xie family since Xie Yuanqing's father's generation.

Then Xie Yuanqing called the white-robed man again. Only then did Yang Yan see this person's appearance clearly, and saw that he was quite tall, with a white scarf wrapped around his head, gold rings on his ears, concave eyes and a nose, and a scimitar just used on his waist. Xie Yuanqing said to Na Hu: "This is Yang Yan and Yang Zihao that you often hear about in Lin'an. ”

When the Hu man heard this, he immediately stood in awe, clasped his fists and saluted: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, below is Abdullah, the great cannibal." Said. Ali. "I can say that it is Chinese, although the tone is a little stiff, but the pronunciation is very clear.

Usually when he was in Lin'an, Yang Yanzhi had never seen Hu people, but this was the first time he had talked to Hu people, and he also said politely: "Ab ......" suddenly found that this name was long and awkward, and he couldn't say it all at once.

Obviously, it is not the first time that Hu Ren has encountered this kind of thing, so he smiled and said: "Brother Yang, it is very inconvenient for you to call my surname, you can call me Ali, and that's how the Xie Dongjia calls me."

Xie Yuanqing called his son-in-law Jia Yunniang and sister-in-law Xie Yuanqiu to see Yang Yan. Jia Yunniang is a young woman of about thirty years old, quite pretty. Xie Yuanqiu is a girl in her early twenties, and she looks very beautiful. In the end, she was born in a merchant family, and she is generous, without the shame of a woman from a Jintong family.

A few red leaves fall in the autumn wind, a big flag with black edges and red background flutters in the wind, and the big flag is embroidered with a flying swallow, as if it wants to fly out of the air with the dance of the big flag.

The Shocking Yan Army created by Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru already had more than 700 people at this time, and it was initially on a large scale. Han Zhaojing, Zhang Wenzhu, Shi Luanying, Yu Xiulin, Peng Lu, Mianwen, Youping and others who participated in the expedition to Heiyang Mountain have all become the generals of the Jingyan Army. Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru served as the commanders of the Jingyan Army, Han Zhaojing and Zhang Wenzhu were the main generals, Shi Luanying, Yu Xiulin, Peng Lu were the deputy generals, Mianwen and Youping were the preparation generals, forming a relatively complete system.

Nominally, the Shocking Yan Army is subordinate to the front division of the palace, but in fact, it is an independent army, and no one can control it. However, women in the Great Song Dynasty only have honorific titles such as county lord, county monarch, and lady of the country, and there are no regulations on official rank and wealth. Back then, Liang Hongyu helped Han Shizhong and Huang Tiandang become famous, but she only won the title of Mrs. Yang Guo, and she had no official position at all. However, Zhao Tuan specially approved it, and each female soldier was paid 30 wen per month, and although the generals did not have official ranks, they were paid according to the standard of the ninth grade Xiu Wulang.

Despite the fact that women were not given formal ranks, the establishment of this army caused dissatisfaction among many ministers. There is also a lot of opposition. However, among the ruling ministers, Yu Yunwen has no opinion on this, Liang Kejia is also noncommittal, Long Dayuan is even more in favor of Zhao Tuan, although Chen Junqing is also opposed, but his attitude is not strong. It was approved by several prime ministers, so although many middle- and lower-level officials raised objections, it did not help.

However, Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru also knew that it was not easy for this women's army to be established, and they did not dare to be sloppy. Every day, the female soldiers are organized to conduct strict and rigorous drills. Every time the soldiers were trained, Zhao Yueru took the lead in practicing.

Zhao Yueru held the dragon stick in her hand and only blocked the parry, and did not fight back. I saw Zhao Qianru holding a spear in her hand, like a mad tiger, a shot was as tight as a shot, and she stabbed at Zhao Yueru like crazy. In fact, Zhao Qianru is not very keen on martial arts, but due to the cancellation of her marriage to Yang Yan, Zhao Qianru was depressed in her heart, so she had to rely on desperate martial arts practice to paralyze herself. In the past few days, she has been training more vigorously than anyone else. At first, her marksmanship was still in order, but later it was simply a nonsense stab. However, Zhao Yueru's martial arts are too much higher than her, covering and pulling out the frame, effortlessly.

Suddenly, Zhao Qianru used too much force, her feet staggered, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden. Her whole body was exhausted, she couldn't get up for a while, and she lay on the ground gasping for air. Zhao Yueru also put away the coiling dragon stick and said with a wry smile: "Let's stop here today, can you take a rest?" ”

Zhao Qianru breathed a sigh of relief before she got up from the ground and said, "Sister, I'm not tired yet." If you're tired, go and rest. I went to practice bows and arrows. As he spoke, he walked to the archery range, took up a bow, held the bow in his left hand, and pulled the string with his right hand. Helplessly, at this time, she had all her strength, although it was only an eight-bucket bow, but she pulled it twice and still didn't pull it open. ”

Zhao Yueru hurriedly chased after her, snatched the bow from her hand, and still went to the ground. A little distressed: "Qianru, you just don't feel happy, don't do this with yourself!" ”

At this time, the other female soldiers also noticed that the atmosphere here was not right, and they stopped to see what was going on between the two princesses. Zhao Yueru smiled bitterly, and greeted Han Zhaojing and Zhang Wenzhu: "Zhaojing, Wenzhu will be here today!" Tell everyone to collect their troops and go back to rest. As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Qianru and left the martial arts training ground.

Back in the barracks, the two sat down. After a moment of silence, Zhao Yueru said, "You...... Let's forget about him. ”

Zhao Qianru shook her head, buried her face in her arms, and said, "I can't do it." ”

Zhao Yueru sighed and said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, he is just an ordinary person now." It is impossible for you to use the scriptures among you. If you continue like this, you will only torture yourself and have a little benefit. ”

Zhao Qianru put down her hands, shook her head and said, "I don't care about it, he is an official of the court or an ordinary person." But I only care if he has me in his heart. If he is tired and does not have me in his heart, why would he risk death on the battlefield to save me. If he didn't have me in his heart, why would he do such a thing? She suddenly threw herself into Zhao Yueru's arms and cried: "What should I do now, you tell me, how should I do it?" ”

Zhao Yueru frowned and said, "With my understanding and observation of Yang Yan, he should like you very much." As for what he did, maybe he really had some unavoidable suffering. ”

Zhao Qianru said: "But when the official family first agreed to marry, didn't he reject me at first?" Maybe it's because he can't refuse this family business, so he will agree. What he really likes is his tasseled sister or the ** named Yan Rui, but it's never me. Otherwise, why would he break into the Lin'an Mansion for Yan Rui to save her. Not all of them are circulating outside, Yang Yan doesn't even want a princess for Yan Rui. ”

Zhao Yueru smiled bitterly and said, "How can you believe the rumors outside, why don't you go to him and ask him what is going on between him and that Yan Rui?" Let him make things clear to you himself. ”

Zhao Qianru sat up straight, stopped crying and said, "I also thought about what you said, but ...... But ......"

Zhao Yueru said: "But what? Are you afraid to go to him because you're afraid to hear what you don't want to hear? ”

Zhao Qianru said: "If the result is like that, what's the use of you can't hear it?" You can only deceive yourself. It's better for you to listen to him say it himself, and simply die of this heart. If that's not the case, Yang Yan really has other reasons, which proves that he still has you in his heart. Thinking of something else at the time, right? ”

Zhao Qianru said: "Let me think about it, right? ”

Zhao Yueru said: "What else do you want?" Tomorrow, you will have a day off, and you won't be in the barracks, so you will go to Yang Yan, right? You usually do things very simply, but this time it doesn't look like your style at all. ”
