A Bao has been sleeping soundly on her small wooden bed. She is still holding the small cloth bag Lin Xiang made for her in her arms, and she is sleeping with her arms stretched out.

Wang Chunniang arranged the quilt for her in a funny way, and then she was about to leave quietly, but when she just walked into the main room, she was tripped by the movement outside the courtyard.

She stood quietly in the main room, and heard the sound of horses whistling in her ears. This was the biggest difference from before...

Since there is the sound of horses whistling, it means...it should be someone coming from the capital.

Thinking that there should be movement at the door, Wang Chunniang walked quickly towards her house and told Zhao Heng the news.

At that time, Zhao Heng was sitting at the desk reading, with his robe draped around him. He turned the pages of the book with his right hand, and occasionally wrote some notes with his left hand, which was very carefree.

"Husband, someone is coming." Wang Chunniang told Zhao Heng the news outside.

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to hold Wang Chunniang, asked her to sit down on one side, and said in a very calm tone: "I will not move if the enemy does not move."

Wang Chunniang nodded and started sewing on the side. She was going to make some cloth bags for the children. Zhao Heng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the stitches were very big. If A Bao

If you put a small fruit in it, it may leak out.

Another half-quarter of an hour later, the entire Zhao family was brightly lit, and the Zhao family's yard was suddenly filled with torches. The dazzling firelight directly woke up A Bao. She pursed her lips and shrank her whole body under the quilt, letting her sleep.

The quilt covered me completely so that I wouldn't see the dazzling light.

"Tell them not to move. Just stay in your room. I'll meet with the Minister of War." Zhao Heng finally put on his robe and walked out. He sat lazily in the hall and said to Wang Chunniang.

Wang Chunniang nodded and went to find A Bao first.

Outside the Zhao Family Courtyard,

The county magistrate also opened his eyes. It was the first time he saw such an old official, the Minister of War! He saw the middle-aged man jump off the horse. Although he was middle-aged, he looked quite energetic and his eyes were even brighter.

It was so sharp that after he glanced at me, I didn't dare to look at him a second time.

"Dad." Seeing Li Shilang coming, Li Yanran, who had been standing by, turned red in the eyes and immediately ran towards Li Shilang.

"Where is Jiang Shusheng?" Li Shilang asked Li Yanran with a cold face.

Li Yanran held Jiang Chen still sleeping in her arms. She shook her head: "I didn't let him come."

Li Shilang glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on the Zhao family's yard: "Is this the family you mentioned in your letter?"

Li Yanran nodded: "This is it."

On the side, the county magistrate bent down and said in a low voice: "Master Li, I have sent government officials to surround their house for two days. Without food, I guess they have no strength to resist now."

The county magistrate had a "sensitive sense of smell" after all. He took the opportunity to claim credit and told everything he had done in an attempt to let Li Shilang see his contribution.

"Li Teng, take people in and deal with them." Li Shilang didn't even have any intention of going in, and directly called to his confidant.

As soon as he heard this, the county magistrate suddenly panicked. He approached Li Shilang with a stuttering tone and asked: "Master Li, is this a bit... excessive? This is a waste of human life!"

"What are you afraid of? After the solution is completed, it will be completely burned down." Li Shilang said disapprovingly.

The county magistrate frowned when he heard this, and thought that this person was ruthless.

The man named Li Teng was obviously Li Shilang's confidant and had great martial arts skills. The man quickly rushed into Zhao's courtyard with his men. When the county magistrate saw this, he lowered his head and covered his eyes.

"Dad, Jiang Shusheng... I don't want my daughter anymore, so why don't we deal with it together this time." Li Yanran walked to Li Shilang's side with the baby in her arms and whispered.

Li Shilang glanced in the direction of the west end of the village. He didn't know if it was because he had been on the road for so long. His voice sounded a little hoarse: "Do you think Jiang Shusheng will wait for you to clean up? At this moment, I am afraid that he would have taken care of him long ago.

He left quietly with his wife."

Li Yanran: "..."

Li Shilang glanced sideways at his daughter: "Besides, you and Ah Chen also need such a person to save face now and don't make too much trouble. That Jiang Shusheng is also a villain to be honest."

Li Yanran frowned, the disgust in his brows unable to be concealed at all.

While Li Shilang was waiting for Li Teng's results, after a while, there was no movement in the Zhao family's yard. When Li Shilang felt surprised, the Zhao family's courtyard door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Li Yanran felt a sudden rush in his heart.

Fortunately, the person who walked out of the gate immediately was not Li Teng, but a young boy of eight or nine years old.

The young man's hair was not tied up, and he looked a bit messy. He quietly pushed open the door of Zhao's house, his eyes wandered around, and finally fell on Li Shilang standing in front, and said in a faint voice:

"Master Li, my father is looking for you."

"What are you looking for? Mr. Li is outside, why don't you let your parents come out to see you immediately!" The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to Zhao Xuan.

This is the eldest son of the Zhao family, and the county magistrate knows this.

But Zhao Xuan didn't care about the county magistrate at all. Seeing that the magistrate was still putting on an official show, he yawned and said, "My father never kneels down."

Hearing this, Li Shilang didn't know what he thought of, and his expression changed.

"Dad, where is Li Teng?" Li Yanran asked in confusion, why didn't she see Li Teng come out?

Li Shilang obviously took this into consideration. He raised his hand to stop Li Yanran from speaking, and then walked step by step toward the Zhao family's yard with his hands behind his back.

Seeing him following him, Zhao Xuan led him towards the yard. Who knows, just a few steps away, Li Shilang suddenly stepped forward and put a dagger on Zhao Xuan's neck, obviously intending to kill Zhao Xuan.

Xuan serves as a hostage.

As he walked inside, the entire Zhao family courtyard gradually came into Li Shilang's field of vision.

Li Teng and the group of people he brought in just now were being tied up and pinned down in the corner of the yard. When Li Shilang saw this scene, his eyes narrowed.

Just as he was about to ask something, he heard a soft little voice coming from the yard: "Daddy, why is it so bright in the yard? I can't sleep."

Following the voice, Li Shilang saw a little baby girl walking towards the man sitting in the main room while rubbing his eyes, and then... crawled into the man's arms using both hands and feet.

, the little head tilted, and the whole person fell asleep again.

And when Li Shilang looked up at the man, as soon as he saw the man's appearance clearly, his knees suddenly softened, as if there was a huge pressure pressing him down, making him kneel down towards the man.
