After Dong Ce finished writing, he read it carefully again, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and laughed in his heart: "Let's be regarded as both civil and military!" ”

After writing it, my heart felt like a big rock, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot easier. He looked up, and the red sleeves were also like a spirit in his heart, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both smiled slightly. As soon as Dong Ce stretched out his hand, he pressed it on her ****, his fingers hooked so lightly, and the red sleeves hummed softly, and his body suddenly became a little soft.

Dong Ce looked at her delicate appearance, and suddenly his index finger moved.

The so-called little biebetter newlywed, in fact, newlyweds or people in love, after a period of separation, the first thing they usually do when they meet is to. Asking for the other party frantically is the best way to express your feelings.

Just as the thief was about to move his hands and feet, he suddenly heard a soft crackling sound outside the window lattice, followed by such a sound, and the crackling sound was endless.

"What's wrong?" Dong Ce immediately became alert, and Red Sleeves said softly: "I'll go outside and take a look." ”

She opened the door and went out, and soon came back, her face full of joy: "Xianggong, it's raining!" ”

"What? It's raining? When Dong Ce heard these two words, he was stunned at first, and his heart was really a little strange. Then it became a great joy, God finally opened his eyes! From August last year to now, not a drop of rain has fallen, and seeing that this year's land in northern Shanxi will be no harvest, a \ one \ book \ read \ novel xstxt field after the drought is inevitable. Unexpectedly, a rain suddenly fell from the sky.

He stood up suddenly: "Let's see." ”

By the time Dong Ce stood under the eaves, the rain was already very heavy.

The rain poured down in a line almost as if it were smashing down.

This heavy rain at the turn of summer and autumn, as if to compensate for the regret that it had not rained for more than a year, poured down with a bang, and in just a moment, the world of this summer afternoon was shrouded in darkness.

The heavy rain fell on the ground and the roof tiles, stirring up a misty rain and mist, making bursts of crackling and crisp sounds.

Dong Ce couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his intuitive chest was wide!

It's a heavy rain! Look at this, there is no three or two days can not stop, this is the most critical time for crop growth, the most need for rain but, the land is dry to the extreme, can also store water and swallow water, but with this rain, can make many people live!

Suddenly there were one or two excited shouts outside, and then, the shouts became more and more, and finally they were connected and swept the entire Shilipu. Whether it is old and serious or young and frivolous, they are all crazy and rush into the rain, let the rain wash themselves to their heart's content.

At this moment, in this land of northern Jinbei within a radius of hundreds of miles, where the rain is shrouded, I don't know how many people shouted excitedly, I don't know how many people were intoxicated and intoxicated in the rain, and I don't know how many people knelt on the ground and sincerely thanked God, this drought was finally able to be resolved.

It rained heavily, but in just an hour or two, the earth became muddy. Ten miles to the left, soon turned into a quagmire, and the people who lived in the straw huts suffered a great sin. After all, it hasn't rained for so long, and no one expected such a heavy rain to come to each other! After the initial excitement, it soon became a distress, the rain was too great for the small shack to resist at all, it was big outside, and it was not necessarily much smaller inside, and there was not even a dry boundary in the near future. If you go down any further, let alone sleep, this camp will have to be flooded!

Zhou Bo was ordered by Dong Ce to temporarily manage these people, he was a conscientious person, and he stayed on the gate of the East Gate. After all, he is older, old and serious, and knows a lot, and when he saw this situation, he quickly thought of coping.

Quickly got up and organized people to dig drainage canals, and borrowed some hoes and other tools from the people through Wang Xunian, and everyone rolled like mud monkeys, and finally avoided the doom of being flooded.

The rain and fog stirred up by the heavy rain made it impossible to see the surrounding ten paces away. The tributaries of the Yuma River, which meandered from Shilipu to the left, swelled again, and were no longer as calm as before, just rolling turbid waves in the wind and rain. The wind swept through the torrential rain, making it even more powerful, and everything in heaven and earth seemed to be shrouded in endless darkness.

In this gloomy rainstorm, two fast horses rushed out of the north gate of Shilipu, and the good Liaodong war horses, their long manes were wet by the rain, and all that came out of their mouths and noses were clouds of white mist.

The two fast horses went out to the left, one to the west, the other to the southwest, to the Zhenqiang Fort and the Zhenhe Fort respectively. It was Wang Hun who went to Zhenqiang Fort, who was outspoken and the most unsuitable person to be a messenger, and it was Wang Yu who went to Zhenhe Fort.

The heavy rain is rolling, and what kind of wind and thunder will the two letters sent by Dong Ce sweep across this land?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

The heavy rain swept and crackled against the earth, hitting the leaves and flowers.

This is a small courtyard, with flowers and plants planted everywhere, which is not a rare thing, it is common, but it is quite elegant. The layout up and down, staggered, the small space to embellish, at a glance, the first feeling is full of emerald, the second feeling, is comfortable. Obviously, the person who designed this is also a person with a lot of hills in his heart.

There has been no rain for more than a year, and although these flowers and plants are taken care of and watered every day, they still inevitably wilt. This heavy rain came down, but it was immediately full of vitality, and every leaf seemed to be soaked in rainwater, shiny and green, and it looked gratifying. These flowers and leaves, it seems that they also know that the season is coming, desperately blooming in the rain, stretching, and striving to bloom the last gorgeous colors of their lives at the turn of the summer and autumn of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

In the shade of flowers and trees, it is a small house. The foundation below is made of bluestone, and the top is made of large bamboo, and the old bamboo presents a mottled antiquity, which seems to tell the changes of time. The surrounding greenery is dotted with a sense of inexplicable sadness and sadness.

This kind of architecture is extraordinary, almost ingenious, and it is definitely the work of a great master.

Within a radius of dozens of miles from the entire Zhenqiang Fort, there are only a few people who can have such Yaxing, but there is only one great person in the Hou family, the garrison officer, who can have the strong financial resources that match Yaxing.

Hou Jiawei has a fair complexion and a thin figure, like a civil official, but in fact he is a real military general, and he is an out-and-out rough man, who does not know a single big character. It's just that the more people are like this, the more they tend to love vassal elegance, and this Lord Hou is even more of a leader. What is the elegance of people? It's nothing more than dress, behavior, diet and daily life, Hou Jiawei naturally has some advantages, except for some yin owls, his appearance is still majestic and quiet.

And this courtyard was built by him at a great price from Taiyuan Mansion to invite a master to come over and supervise the construction, from inviting the master to buying pillars that can not be seen in Shanxi at all, and then finally building it, seven or eight thousand taels of silver before and after it was put in.

With the poverty of the military households on the nine sides, this money is enough to maintain an army of 1,000 people for a year.

That's what makes a living for thousands of families in a year.

The window of the fine house was open, Hou Jiawei wore a wide robe made of Shu brocade and big sleeves, and his long hair was tied with a fine black hosta. It's just that the constricted brow and the expression of the yin owl are completely destroyed. He was standing behind the window, and the storm swept in through the window, and hit him, and his clothes were a little wet, but he didn't realize it.

He seemed to be looking out the window at the rainstorm in a daze, but the focus of his eyes was actually not on it at all, obviously there was something unresolved in his heart, and he was making up his mind.

On one side of the table was a piece of paper, soaked with rain, and the ink on it had melted.

This piece of paper is the source of the difficulties in Hou Shoubei's heart at this time.

Just now, a messenger came in the rain, saying that it was sent by Dong Ce, the officer of the Ten Mile Paving Team. Hou Jiawei was lying on his own height, but as soon as he heard the maid's report, he immediately got up to meet the messenger, regardless of his sleepiness.

As a result, he got the news - the Bai Mazi horse bandits were trapped in ten miles at night, Dong Ce got the news, and led people to rush to help overnight, and rushed into Bai Mazi with eight people, and the casualties were not counted. Then he and Xu Rujie combined, divided the troops, one attracted the attention of the horse thief, and then with three horses, dressed in strong and stubborn, straight to the middle palace of the horse thief! None of them were Dong Ce's generals, there were countless dead, the leader of the horse thieves was captured, the horse thieves were scattered, and the siege of Shilipu was resolved. It's just sad that Xu Ruji died in battle, and his body was trampled on by the war horse so that he couldn't see his face clearly.

When Hou Jiawei heard this, his head was covered at that time, and he almost didn't stand firmly.

Dong Ce! You son of a bitch! If you don't give Lao Tzu face, you dare to do bad things for Lao Tzu! Sooner or later, I'm going to chop you up! Hou Jiawei trembled angrily, and almost scolded out with hatred.

Dong Ce's calculation was correct, those white pockmarked horse thieves were indeed instigated by Hou Jiawei behind his back.

It's just that Dong Ce guessed a very important point wrong - he and Bai Mazi are not subordinates, but cooperative relations. In fact, a big horse bandit like Bai Mazi, who has three or four hundred cavalry under his command, is almost as strong as more than a thousand officers and soldiers, and whether a Zhenqiang Fort can make up these people is still two counts! Bai Mazi relied on these troops in his hands, if he went to vote for those anti-thieves, I am afraid that he would be able to make a name, how could he hold the thigh of a mere garrison officer?

However, Hou Jiawei provided him with information on officers and soldiers, helped him sell stolen goods, and bought and sold grain for relief, so the two also cooperated happily. Bai Mazi has already helped Hou Jiawei slaughter a lot of enemies, which can be called one of his biggest dependencies. Hou Jiawei and Bai Mazi are both thoughtful people, so they have not been discovered, and their courage is getting bigger and bigger.
