Jiang Da shook his head in panic: "No, no, I don't know."
Liu Ziqiu sneered and said: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? I think you are toasting and wanting to drink as a penalty!"
This is a highly hierarchical society. A small brigade commander dares to be disrespectful to the general of the dynasty and openly recruits his subordinates. It would be hell if Liu Ziqiu believed Jiang Da. If he wants Jiang Da to confess,
Liu Ziqiu had many means of torture to extract confessions, but he chose a more direct method.
"I'm counting to three. If I don't hear the answer I want, today next year will be your death anniversary! One! Two!..." A short knife was pressed against Jiang Da's throat, and Liu Ziqiu's cold voice sounded in his ears.
, as if from hell.
"I said, I said!" Jiang Da's greedy and fearful character had long been seen through by Liu Ziqiu. He finally couldn't hold on anymore and begged for mercy, "Please, after I say it, you must not kill me. I'm going.
There are people who are eighty years old..."
Liu Ziqiu didn't want to hear what he was saying here, so he gently handed the short knife forward, and the sharp tip pierced his throat, and a little bright red blood seeped out.
Jiang Da felt a bone-chilling chill instantly spread throughout his body. He shivered involuntarily and said tremblingly: "Don't, don't, I said, I said. Zhang, General Zhang was killed by Lord Yuwen, oh, no, yes
Detained by Yu Wenjing."
The news that the prefect had detained the general was so shocking that it took Liu Ziqiu a long time to react and asked sharply: "Tell me! What's going on?"
"Yu Wenjing sent a message to General Zhang, saying that he had important matters to discuss with him. However, Yu Wenjing set up an ambush in the prefect's mansion. As soon as General Zhang and his soldiers entered, they were arrested by Yu Wenjing. Yu Wenjing
I was worried that something might change, so I only sent the villain and these thirty brothers out today, but I didn’t expect that the first stop would be..."
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, interrupted Jiang Da, frowned and asked: "What does Yu Wenjing want to do? Does he want to rebel?"
"Little, little people don't know."
"Um?"
"Little, little man really doesn't know. Wow... ow..."
A grown man cried in public, and there was a smell of irritation. This guy even peed. Liu Ziqiu glanced at Jiang Da with disdain and waved lightly. Two strong men had already come forward and dragged him up.
Jiang Da then left. Jiang Da's face was ashen, his whole body was shaking, and he didn't even have the courage to beg for mercy. A moment later, a scream came from outside the tent.
Liu Ziqiu interrogated Jiang Da in Chinese, which only Tuoba Qianyu could understand. Although she was young, as Tuoba Mumi's daughter, she had witnessed the intrigues within the party, so she naturally understood the seriousness of the situation and couldn't help but express her gratitude to Tumu.
Lu made a gesture. Tumulu and others understood, saluted together, bowed and exited the tent.
In this battle, under the command of Liu Ziqiu, Jiang Da and the cavalry were easily wiped out, but no herdsmen in the tribe suffered any casualties. The herdsmen with leopard as their totem even believed that Liu Ziqiu and Tuoba Qianyu were sent by God.
Their patron saint carries out their orders unconditionally.
Waiting until there was no third person in the tent, Tuoba Qianyu walked up to Liu Ziqiu and said softly: "Brother, do you want to go back to the military camp now?"
"Of course I want to go back!" Liu Ziqiu nodded seriously, handed the dagger back to Tuoba Qianyu, and said softly, "Thank you."
When he came out this time, Liu Ziqiu left Mo Dao behind in the military camp. The waist knife he threw just now fell to the ground along with Jiang Da's horse and broke. He had to borrow Tuo Yue Qianyu's short knife. This short knife
It is a personal belonging of Tuoba Qianyu. It is inlaid with various precious gems. It is not an ordinary dagger.
Tuoba Qianyu refused to accept it, shook his head and said: "Brother, it's too dangerous for you to go back with bare hands. You should keep this knife for self-defense."
"Don't worry, even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I, Liu Ziqiu, can get through it!" Unexpectedly, this little girl who advocates violence would actually care about her own safety. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Take it, and then help me.
Do something!”
Hearing that he could help Liu Ziqiu, Tuoba Qianyu suddenly became excited. He immediately took the dagger, raised his chest and said, "Brother, tell me, if not, I can ask my brother and the others for help!"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "That's not necessary. You tell Tumulu and ask him to contact the small tribes that are oppressed by Yu Wenjing and let everyone be prepared in case of unexpected events."
Liu Ziqiu didn't know whether Yu Wenjing detained Zhang Shou because of Yang Guang's instructions or for some other reason. However, Jiang Da and more than 30 Sui soldiers disappeared for no reason. If Yu Wenjing could not see them back, he would definitely find them.
Those small tribes want people.
"Is it that simple?" Tuoba Qianyu looked unconcerned, but was thinking about another thing, "Don't forget, you owed me one more time yesterday..."
Without saying a word, Liu Ziqiu hugged Tuoba Qianyu, lowered his head and kissed her. The kiss was extremely domineering. He not only penetrated in, but also sucked her sweet tongue in his mouth. Tuoba Qianyu had never done this before.
After the experience, I felt a strange warm current surge through my body instantly, my whole body became numb, and I fell limply in Liu Ziqiu's arms. I didn't know what to say "um um um um" in my throat, and my eyes were already intoxicated.
Right here, Liu Ziqiu suddenly let go and walked out of the tent, saying, "I've paid back what I owe you. I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself!"
When Tuoba Qianyu came back to her senses, she realized that Liu Ziqiu had already raised the tent door, and quickly shouted: "Brother, wait!"
Liu Ziqiu was here, but his thoughts had already flown back to the military camp. He became a little impatient and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything else?"
Tuoba Qianyu whistled, and the sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent, but the snow leopard appeared in front of him. Tuoba Qianyu pointed with his slender hand and said, "I'll lend it to you!"
The snow leopard travels thousands of miles in a day and is Tuoba Qianyu's most beloved companion. He usually doesn't allow others to touch it, but now he is willing to lend it to Liu Ziqiu. Liu Ziqiu thought that he had just misunderstood Tuoba Qianyu's meaning, and he felt apologetic and opened his mouth to say something.
, finally couldn't say it out, just gritted his teeth, jumped on the horse's back, and drove away with his whip raised.
From behind, Tuoba Qianyu's voice came faintly: "Remember, you owe me once again! No, twice!"
Liu Ziqiu stumbled on his horse and almost fell off. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that the debt was not paid off.
…
In March, the northwest is still covered with ice and snow, but the south of the Yangtze River has long been covered with grass and greenery, and Changshan Village on the bank of the Qiantang River is also full of vitality.
Two months of hard work was enough for the former small village to complete a gorgeous turn. Today's Changshan Village is comparable to a small town.
The number of villagers has grown from 78 to 400. Except for the more than 20 households that came over at the beginning, the others were moved here by Hua Yun to take advantage of the opportunity to supplement the number of soldiers. This is because Hua Yun did not want to eat Xiang Tai.
It's ugly, so 600 positions were left for Guo Wenqing and the others. Now all the families in the village belong to the military household.
The biggest advantage of military households is that they can get land allocated by the court and do not have to pay grain taxes. It is precisely because of such favorable conditions that Changshan Village can attract so many people to settle down.
Four hundred families need 6,000 acres of land from Yanguan County. This is a very troublesome matter, but the power of the Xie family in Jiangnan cannot be underestimated. After some operations by Xie Yun, Wei Zheng actually became a salt
Official County Magistrate. With Wei Zheng in charge of Yanguan, no matter how much land there is, it will not be a problem.
The rapid development of the small village also benefited from the opening of the Jiangnan Canal. After leaving Changshan Village and walking north for more than two miles, you will reach the Qiantang River. Wei Zheng organized people to build three docks on the riverside. Here is not only Changshan
The location of the head office of Chemashi is also an important goods distribution center by the canal.
Changshan Village was expanded and divided into two parts.
Part of it is close to the canal wharf, including warehouses, inns, various shops, and wine shops. Following Liu Ziqiu’s instructions before leaving, all the shops here are for rent only and not for sale. As the canal waterways become increasingly busy, in the near future, these shops will bring
The benefits to villagers will be considerable.
The other part is based on the original village, which is the residential area of the villagers. There are soldiers guarding the entrance, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. These soldiers are both villagers of Changshan Village and soldiers of Yuhang Yingyang Mansion. They are all serious people.
The Sui soldiers who experienced this. The guards here are tighter than those in the county seat.
This residential area has become an independent system. Because it is difficult for outsiders to enter, no one knows how many soldiers there really are. With the support of the Xie family, money and food are no longer a problem. Changshan Village provides services for all men of school age.
Equipped with armor and weapons, and all mobilized, it is an army of one thousand people. Moreover, this army is well-equipped, with as many as two hundred horses alone, and it has a unique cavalry force in the entire Jiangnan.
This army is now personally trained and commanded by Li Jing. Li Jing's current identity is the captain of Yingyang Mansion in Yuhang, and it is his job to command and train the soldiers. Now Hua Yun has completely controlled the situation of Yingyang Mansion in Yuhang
, Li Jing does not need to stay there every day, he spends most of his time in Changshan Village.
As a large number of villagers moved in, many new houses were built in the village. The two largest houses were the homes of Liu Ziqiu and Li Jing. It was not that they lived a luxurious life, but that they had the largest population. These two houses were next to each other.
Whenever Li Jing went out to train his soldiers, Zhang Chuchen would come next door to chat with Gao Xiuer. The two of them were both pregnant and had long since become good sisters who talked about everything.
Today, Zhang Chuchen came to Liu's house as usual, and saw Gao Xiuer sitting in the yard, silently lost in thought. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, are you thinking about Brother Liu again?"
Gao Xiuer sighed quietly and said, "It's already March in the blink of an eye, and I don't know what's going on with the war in the west. How can I not be worried?"
While he was talking, Xiao Dapeng suddenly burst in from outside and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, please hide quickly, that guy is here again!"
