"Don't mess around. Now that Xiong Wencan has been dismissed and replaced by Yang Sichang, the Minister of the Ministry of war. This person is much more difficult to deal with than Xiong Wencan, and this time he has brought thousands of troops to take office. If we make too much noise and attract his attention, I'm afraid we will send troops to encircle and suppress him immediately."

Mrs. Li put down her pen and shook her head with a heavy face. Now, apparently, the black eye of the copycat has been spread all over the Xiangyang border.

"Madam, don't worry. With our current strength, even if the officials and troops come to encircle and suppress us, they can't help us."

Qin Shuang clapped his chest, even eager to try.

Because the original 1000 little beggars have already become lively and vigorous. They have a fire gun in their hands and complete cotton armor helmets. They are almost armed to their teeth.

"Ah! Now, I don't know where you are, and what's your situation now. Let's stop creating complications. Just keep the black mountain stronghold. "

Xiao Xinru said, his tone could not help but become sad again, but his heart was full of thoughts and worries. Since the childe took people across the Hanjiang River and went to Henan, he completely broke contact.

So now she just wants to keep this family property for the childe, so that if the childe loses in the future, she can have a foothold when she comes back.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuang drooped his head and nodded.

After training for more than half a year, the brothers have long been suffocated. They are waiting to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and promotion every day. However, madam he can't listen to her. It's really a little oppressive.

"Well, in the future, the cultural examination will be conducted once a month and the martial arts examination will be conducted once every two months, and the first ten will be promoted to the first level."

Xiao Xinru sighed and said slowly when she saw him.

Obviously, these teenagers inherited Qin Huan's belligerence. They were always locked up in the stronghold for a long time. They were afraid that there would be trouble, so they planned to reduce the time of daily practice and increase the time of reading and literacy.

"Great, madam, so that the brothers won't complain every day." Qin Shuang's eyes brightened and he was overjoyed.

Many of his brothers are still treated as soldiers. On the contrary, some hardworking and obedient old people and children have become veterans, which makes them hold fire guns. If they don't complain, there will be ghosts. Now, there is a chance for promotion.

The people in all villages of Heishi town not only didn't appreciate that the thieves drove away the servants who came to collect grain, but took it for granted.

As a result, when Qin Shuang went to collect the rent with the land deed, the people still didn't buy it and hid all the food.

This time, not only Qin Shuang and Qin Wen were half angry, but even Mrs. Li was a little angry.

In her opinion, the land deeds were in their hands. Those fields were theirs, and it was natural for the people to rent them.

"What do the villagers say?"

"They say we are anti thieves. Those land deeds were robbed. They can't count at all. You can ask for food, but you have to buy it with money." Qin Wen bit his teeth and said.

Qin Shuang was murderous: "madam, I think these villagers just don't cry when they don't see the coffin. They just kill him in one village to see if they still pay the rent."

"Killing is still unnecessary."

Mrs. Li waved her hand and was thinking about how to make the people pay the rent obediently. A teenager came to report. A scholar at the foot of the mountain asked for a meeting and claimed to be surnamed Wang.

……

In the cottage hall.

Looking at the person brought in, it was Mr. Wang who came to recruit and install. Xiao Xinru was surprised and happy at the same time. She hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you know the news of my childe?"

"I didn't expect that the Xiaohua King left you here and ran away alone. His wife still cares about him like this. The Xiaohua king doesn't know the blessing of repair in his life. He has a confidant like his wife."

Seeing that she was so worried, Wang can couldn't help sighing.

"Sir, I misunderstood. My childe didn't leave my concubine, but couldn't bear the bumpy suffering of my concubine and other women's dependents. That's why we stayed here, but we also reserved enough troops. Even if the officials and troops came to encircle and suppress, we wouldn't be afraid."

Mrs. Li blushed and hurriedly explained that she was afraid that he had come to test the details, and added.

"Madam, don't doubt. I didn't come to inquire about your stronghold. Madam must have known what happened to my adults."

Wang can smiled, waved his hand, and then said, "as for the current situation of your childe, I really know one or two."

"Please tell me, sir. I'm very grateful." Xiao Xinru said excitedly and ordered people to hurry up to serve tea.

"In mid July, your son fought with governor Nahong on the Han River near Junzhou and fled to Xichuan. However, according to the facts I learned, the two sides were tied at that time, and even your son took some advantage. Otherwise, Hong Chengchou would not have watched your son attack Xichuan and dared not go to rescue."

Wang can puts down the teacup and says slowly. When it comes to Hong Chengchou, his tone is mixed with a trace of schadenfreude.

"So, my childe is in Xichuan now?"

Xiao Xinru's clenched fist immediately loosened, and a big stone in her heart finally fell down.

"Yes, although Hong Chengchou has 20000 Qin troops and 3000 guanning iron cavalry, he may not be able to win your childe, so madam doesn't have to worry about the safety of your childe, but about the safety of yourself and the people in the stronghold."

"What does that mean, sir? Is Yang Sichang going to deal with us? " Xiao Xinru was so nervous when she saw what he said.

"Yang Sichang, the Minister of the Ministry of war, holding the Shang's sword, will not lose his worth to fight a small stronghold of you. He led troops south to pursue the eighth king and Cao Cao a few days ago.

But when I left, I asked Xiangyang to exterminate you as soon as possible. The commander of Xiangyang guard is preparing these days. I think the army will crush the border in a few days. "

"Hum, madam, don't worry. There are only some guards. Let's kill one."

Qin Shuang on one side could not bear to see Wang can's literati virtue and snorted coldly at him.

If his wife had no respect for this guy, let alone drinking tea, he would have to break his leg. See if he still lingered and talked about the situation of the leader and brothers.

"That's right. I'll leave now."

Wang can also knows that what the boy said is true. When he entered the stronghold, he could see the teenagers clearly.

In the same way, I am deeply moved that there are thousands of people in this small cottage and they are still in good order. I really want to see the Xiaohua king and see who he is.

"Sir, I don't think he's a native? If there is no good place to go, it's better to live in the stronghold for the time being. My childe will come back after all. "

Mrs. Li hurriedly asked her to stay. Naturally, she would not think that Wang can came specially to report to them.

But obviously he wanted to take refuge in the childe, but he was worried, so he came to make a good marriage.

"Madam, I appreciate your kindness."

Wang can hesitated for a long time and finally politely refused. However, he did not intend to return to Fujian, but decided to live in Nanzhang County for the time being.

Xiao Xinru guessed right. Wang can really had the idea of taking refuge in Qin Huan.

Originally, he wanted to join Yang Sichang and continue to show his ambition.

But no one ever wanted to see him, so he was driven out. At the same time of disappointment, he even had a trace of anger against the world.

However, the matter of Xiong Wencan has not been settled yet, so there are some concerns in his heart.
