Chapter 243: The Troubles of Happiness

Although Li Lu and Wan Wendong were under house arrest by Wu Shigong, their living conditions were still good. Now the two of them are drinking realgar wine and eating the male crab sent by Wu Shigong. And the hands of these two people are now stained with crab paste.

Wan Wendong was already a little drunk, so he had the courage to ask Li Ludao: "Li Shoubei, Wu Shoubei is out this time, is there a big chance of success?" ”

Li Lu also drank too much wine, and he replied with a big tongue: "Aren't you worried about my brother-in-law?" Back then, he was in the midst of tens of thousands of chaotic people, killing a character who entered and exited seven times, and this time he must have no problem getting out. ”

"But the soldiers and horses of the Wu garrison should be similar to you. He trapped us both and didn't want your soldiers and his family to help him. With such a small number of men, it should be difficult for him to defeat the more than 4,000 horses of the troubled miners! ”

Wan Wendong's words also made Li Lu have some doubts. He knew how Wu Shigong exterminated the Holy Spirit and rebelled against the people at that time. The tactic adopted at that time was, in modern parlance, "decapitation tactics". Therefore, the current Li Lu really has no bottom in his heart for such a small number of people as Wu Shigong to go to the more than 4,000 miners who are making trouble. Of course, Li Lu's doubts were also because Li Lu thought that Wu Shigong's strength was about the same as his own, and he didn't know the reason for Wu Shigong's exact strength at all.

But Li Lu couldn't soften his breath, in the end, he and Wu Shigong were also related. So after hesitating for a while, Li Lu still said: "My brother-in-law, there is absolutely no problem in defeating those rebellious miners. However, those miners are scattered around the hills, and we locals who are familiar with the situation may need to help us when the time comes. ”

Wan Wendong had actually heard Li Lu's words, and had already left a way back for himself. However, Wan Wendong did not point it, because this statement is similar to Wan Wendong's own estimate.

But at this moment, the door of the house under house arrest suddenly opened, and they saw Yang Rusong coming over unhurriedly.

Li Lu and Wan Wendong's hearts both chuckled. Calculate the time, Wu Shigong's army should have just arrived in Nanyang Mansion not long ago! Wu Shigong sent the captain of his own soldiers to find them so quickly, could it be that Wu Shigong's army and the rebellious miners were not going well in the battle, and they really wanted their soldiers and family members to help?

Li Lu and Wan Wendong both stood up unconsciously, but Wan Wendong asked with a reluctant smile on his face: "General Yang, Wu Shoubei has something to look for us." ”

Yang Rusong also nodded with a smile and said, "Our adults said that it has been slow to entertain the two of you in the past few days. I hope the two of you will clean up, and after an hour, the two of you will leave for Nanyang Mansion with us. ”

Li Lu and Wan Wendong felt even stronger in their hearts, the two of them glanced at each other, Wan Wendong wiped his dirty hands on his clothes regardless of it, and then immediately took out a silver ingot of ten taels in his arms, forced it into Yang Rusong's hand and asked: "Mr. Yang, go to Nanyang Mansion in such a hurry, something must have happened." Tell me about it. If there is any difficulty that we need to help with, we must be duty-bound. ”

Yang Rusong was still smiling and listening to Wan Wendong's words at first, but when he heard Zuihou's words, Yang Rusong's expression was obviously stunned, he knew that Wan Wendong must have thought of something.

So Yang Rusong threw the silver ingots in his hand up and down, hahadaxiao for a while, and then threw the silver ingots on Wan Wendong and said, "Where do you think of it, our adults have already knocked down all the iron ore." I went to Nanyang Mansion with you this time to accept the iron mine. ”

Yang Rusong really didn't take the ten taels of silver in his eyes, his current home, has the two CEOs of Yang Goudan and Yang Goudan wife, Yang Rusong himself has become an out-and-out rich and handsome, how could he accept this mere ten taels of silver?

Besides, Yang Rusong, as the captain of Wu Shigong's personal army, can be said to have a bright future, and Wu Shigong's army has a very strict discipline, and he can't take money from others privately, so it is impossible for Yang Rusong to do anything to destroy his future.

Yang Rusong didn't care about these two people anymore, and in the stunned eyes of Li Lu and Wan Wendong, he turned around and walked away.

After a while, the two of them came back to their senses from their surprise, and Wan Wendong said to Li Lu with some stuttering: "This is really, this is really ......." ”

Li Lu suddenly became angry, he interrupted Wan Wendong's words, and said vividly: "What is this? This is my brother-in-law! ”

Don't say that Li Lu and Wan Wendong will be surprised, Wu Shigong was also taken aback after receiving the battle report sent by Zhou Xun. Unexpectedly, just the 500 soldiers in his vanguard put down more than 4,000 miners who were in rebellion.

But after the surprise, Wu Shigong was immediately ecstatic. That's amazing! Na Hefei and Shumo are Wu Shigong's own house slaves, and even Xue Yongli, the house slaves of Xue Mansion, are one layer behind these two people. Wu Shigong, as the master, really felt a light on his face for the performance of these two house slaves!

However, along with the battle report, there is also a letter of help from Zhou Xun. After the arrival of the main force of the Zhou Patrol, on the one hand, the situation was quickly controlled. With his main force, he swept all the main gathering points of all the miners.

It should be said that Zhou Xun did not encounter any resistance, and those miners were terrified by Wu Shigong's army. The weekly patrol is also the organization of an armed patrol.

But on the other hand, Zhou Xun was a little out of control of the situation. When Wu Shigong's army laid down the iron mine, the former private mine owners sent people to Zhou Xun and politely asked Zhou Xun to return their iron ore.

Of course, these private mine bosses are also afraid that this kind of action is looking for death, so they don't show up themselves, that is, they send some little minions to test Zhou Xun's attitude.

But Zhou Xun knew that Wu Shigong would cooperate with these private mine bosses in the future. Of course, Zhou Xun didn't know the detailed agreement between Wu Shigong and these private mine bosses, so he could only politely hit Haha and delayed. That is, not to say return, and not to say not to return.

But this attitude suddenly gave confidence to those private mine owners. Those private mine bosses already knew that Zhou Xun's army was the soldiers of Wu Shigong's Runing battalion. They also knew that their representative, Wan Wendong, was now discussing with Wu Shigong in Runing Mansion about sending troops from the Runing Battalion to help them recover the iron mine. So now these private mine bosses know that the army of Zhou Xun has no ill will towards them.

But on the other hand, these private mine bosses don't know what kind of agreement Wan Wendong and Wu Shigong reached. Because Li Lu and Wan Wendong both put Wu Shigong under house arrest.

So these private mine bosses can only guess for themselves, of course they are afraid of Wu Shigong, who laid down the iron mine, so they will seize the iron mine. Therefore, they came to Zhou Xun with the title deeds of those hills that owned iron mines, hoping that Zhou Xun would return those hills to those private mine owners first.

In the minds of those private mine bosses, as long as the iron ore is in their own hands, then the negotiations with Wu Shigong will be more advantageous in the future. Of course, these private mine bosses will not ask for luxury, Wu Shigong will return those iron mines to them selflessly, but those private mine bosses also think that Wu Shigong is an official army after all, and he will not do that kind of preemptive thing.

Of course, these private mine bosses will not come to Zhou Xun with empty teeth, they must have brought a lot of gold, silver and women. And this situation has made Zhou Xun anxious.

If those private mine bosses used force to force them, or even just said some threats to Zhou Xun, then Zhou Xun would definitely shake his muscles unceremoniously. But those private mine bosses came softly, gave heavy gifts, and said all the good things. This kind of dogskin plaster pleaded for mercy, but Zhou Xun was a little unbearable.

So Zhou Xun could only shrink into his camp and refuse to see the guests, but those private mine bosses relentlessly gathered outside the camp and refused to disperse.

Zhou Xun was forced to have no choice, so he almost shouted "SOS!" "That's it. He could only send someone to send the news to Wu Shigong as soon as possible along with the battle report, so that Wu Shigong could rush to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
