Taoist Master Shifang said without hesitation: "We will also evacuate the rice merchants and wait for instructions!"
"Then I, the people of Yanzhao, might die of hunger..." Long Wushuang rarely hesitated.
Only when facing the elder in front of him alone, he is no longer the cold and iron-blooded young marshal who laughs at the changing situation.
"The rice merchant's withdrawal is a gesture of cooperation to the Tuoba clan, but he will not withdraw from Youzhou. He will wait for instructions. There is a lot to do! This may be an opportunity!"
Long Wushuang seemed to have some realization: "I'll listen to you, you won't be wrong!"
The rice merchants controlled by the Northern Hebei Rangers also gradually evacuated to the north of Youzhou.
On the way home, Jiang Fuxue and Mu Qinxue rode in the same carriage.
"Sister, Xue'er, I want to ask you something~"
"Okay~" Mu Qinxue agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Fuxue begged: "If the second sister has something happy, can you not tell the third lady of the Gongsun family?"
Mu Qinxue smiled and said: "Of course this matter cannot be spread outside. Your second sister also gave you many instructions just now. Are you worried that the eldest sister will get angry with that little vixen and use this matter to force her to retreat?"
Jiang Fuxue said coquettishly: "I still can't hide it from my sister-in-law~"
As soon as she heard "sister-in-law", Mu Qinxue was filled with joy and said happily: "Don't worry, big sister will give her a fair fight and let her be a good little girl! After all, my grandma is also from Bashu~ The tricks of Bashu women, this little vixen Yes, I can’t~"
The poor third lady was drawing circles and cursing Liang Xiao at the Gongsun Family Chamber of Commerce so that she couldn't sleep at night. She didn't realize that she was being targeted by both the big and small demons of the Liang Xiao family.
Liang Xiao did not go home today, but asked Jiang Fuxue to be a guest at Dingguo Hou Mansion for a few days to accompany Mu Qinxue.
Late at night, Nishinomiya Villa.
After Duan Yunxiu woke up with a smile, he turned around and saw Liang Xiao sitting at the table tinkering with something.
"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Duan Yunxiu asked curiously.
"Go to sleep, don't watch, there's a Spring Festival surprise!"
Duan Yunxiu was amused by Liang Xiao's rare childishness: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you, go to bed early~"
In the early morning, Duan Yunxiu woke up and found that Liang Xiao had been sitting beside the bed, and the table had been moved over with some pictures and texts on it.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you asleep?" Duan Yunxiu curled his lips.
Liang Xiao fell into silence.
"What's wrong?" Duan Yunxiu was a little worried.
Liang Xiao touched the back of his head and smiled.
"I'm afraid of kicking the child while sleeping."
Duan Yunxiu chuckled, deeply moved.
Pregnant women need someone to take care of them, so he stays by the bed. When he wakes up, he can go to sleep without worries...
"Brother Xiao can't be so tired. Wouldn't it be better to let the Xuanwei grandmothers who routinely keep vigil take care of me?"
Liang Xiao put his hands on his hips and said, "Of course I need to take care of my husband personally on the first night."
Duan Yunxiu was speechless, looking deeply at Liang Xiao. He was so deeply in love that he couldn't help but kiss him, launched a coquettish offensive, and drove him to sleep.
In the early morning in Yanzhou, a caravan walked twenty miles from the southern official road, then turned around and galloped toward the northeast.
The lean man at the head was waving his whip and commanding a dozen carriages.
"This batch of good goods must be sent to the Generalissimo no matter what. There will be supplies provided by the Beihu troops along the way. Don't worry! Everyone will be rewarded heavily when we return!"
The Beihu drivers in the motorcade cheered: "Thank you, Marshal! Thank you, Captain!"
Just then, the convoy stopped.
The captain roared angrily: "Didn't I tell you that we can't stop no matter what!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
It turned out that a group of people were riding towards here on horseback. The horses were equipped with leather vests and everyone was masked.
The captain realized that the person coming was evil and immediately ordered: "Be on guard, take a detour!"
Everyone in the convoy took out their hand crossbows.
The cavalry unit gradually approached, and the captain saw the leader from a distance.
Wearing a cotton-padded jacket, a mask, and a long sword hanging from his waist.
The most attractive thing is the other person's eyes, which are as bright as stars, and the slender eyelashes move slightly, which is amazing.
In his entire life, he had never seen such beautiful eyes.
Just one pair of eyes was enough to make him suffocate with astonishment. It no longer mattered whether the face under the mask was good-looking or whether it was a man or a woman.
Suddenly, the captain remembered something and his breath froze.
Before he could trigger the crossbow, the leader on the horse had already jumped up. Using the momentum of the horse's rapid charge and the force of his own jump, he instantly landed in front of the captain.
When the Beihu captain came to his senses, he had been stabbed through the heart by a sword and was bleeding profusely!
In his half-life, he had never experienced such a terrifying speed, and he had no time to react!
"you……"
Fear and severe pain eroded the captain's sanity, causing him to subconsciously look down.
The sword that penetrated his heart was as red as blood, and its surface reflected the afterglow of the setting sun like blood.
"You are red blood..."
The captain struggled violently twice, as if reflecting on his own light, his pupils quickly dilated and lost all life.
Hundreds of cavalrymen succeeded in killing the entire convoy with one blow, holding back the frightened horses.
After everyone rummaged through the boxes, they were shocked.
"Boss, I found two boxes of silver notes and several carts of iron armor, gold and silver. Their value must start at 300,000 taels!"
The leader just nodded, took out paper and a homemade charcoal pen on horseback, and started writing quickly.
After a moment, the leader showed what he had written.
[Properties were provided to help the people, and the armor was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital. The Gongsun family and the Jianzong family were not allowed to purchase it. 】
Everyone seemed not to be surprised and cheered in unison:
"As you command!"
After the team completed the search, the leader used the blood of the Beihu captain as ink and left two lines of words on the carriage.
[The Beihu spies have been punished by heaven. 】
[Red Blood Sword. 】
After hesitating for a moment, the leader added the word "Lanling" in front of his signature, read it again, and then daubed out the two words with blood.
Everyone rushed back to the mountain stronghold in the east with the intercepted loot.
There are hundreds of young men and women in this village, all wearing masks and holding swords, and they are knights from all over the world.
Seeing the leader leading the team back, everyone bowed.
"Good job, chief!"
The leader just nodded and went straight back to his tent.
There is a stack of newspapers on the table.
The issue at the top was turned to the poetry column.
[Lying stiffly in a lonely village, I don’t feel sorry for myself, I still think about guarding the Luntai for the country. Late at night, I lie down listening to the wind and rain, and the iron horse glacier falls into my dream. 】
Below the poem, it tells the content of Liang Xiao's speech at the original exchange meeting.
[Be anxious when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy. 】
The leader just flipped through the newspaper and said nothing.
Another newspaper mentioned that the Marquis of Lanling built bridges and roads in Lanling, added workshops, promoted local development, and arranged more jobs for the people of Lanling.
Until his eyes fell on the words "Mrs. Lanlinghou", the leader lowered his eyes slightly and fluttered his eyelashes.
At this moment, a beautiful heroine came in with a newspaper, her face full of excitement.
"Chief, Marquis Lanling has a new work!"
The leader took the newspaper, turned to the second page, and read it with interest.
[There are several plum trees in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming. 】
"It's really a rare masterpiece of praising plum blossoms. Maybe it was written when he was depressed. What does the leader think?" the female hero said with a smile.
The leader just nodded, took the brush again, and left a line of elegant regular script on the paper.
[Your voice is the nicest here. Can you read the Luo Shen Fu for me? 】
The heroine was stunned when she saw the words, gave the leader a distressed look, and agreed repeatedly.
Three days later, Tuoba Jun, who returned to Yanzhou, was sitting in the secret room, furious as rarely seen in his life.
"That batch of goods was robbed by the Red Blood Sword again?!"
The new year has arrived.
