"You mean no one was there when I first went in, and I was suddenly attacked by Li Changting after waiting for nearly half an hour?" Situ Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Yes." The man in black returned weakly.
"Maybe Li Changting found someone ambushing in the tent. After all, Li Changting's martial arts is better than him. It's not surprising that he was attacked by close quarters without being aware of it." Someone explained.
However, situ Xiao remembered that he was preparing to kill Li Changting in Tianlao, but he saw Li Changting disappear in front of him.
After that, situ Xiao thought for a long time, but he didn't understand how Li Changting did it. Is Li Changting's martial arts so advanced?
Two days later, when Ming knew that Li Changting might plan an ambush, situ Xiao decided to send troops to attack. Situ Xiao could admit that he was inferior to Li Changting in any way, but he couldn't fight.
As a result, the so-called stratagem didn't exist at all. Li Changting made a move and directly attacked the city and territory, forcing situ Xiao's main force to withdraw from Jingzhou and flee to Yuzhou.
Deng Shou, the commander of Yuzhou garrison, was the enemy of Li Changting. Everyone in the court knew that he hated Li Changting. After the natural disaster, Deng Shou was obviously more inclined to situ Xiao.
Situ Xiao was a private soldier in Qinglongshan village of Yuzhou. Deng Shou also helped him to cover up. In addition, he had a lot of contacts with situ Xiao. Although he didn't say it clearly, in recent years, everyone regarded him as situ Xiao's person.
But when situ Xiao retreated to Yuzhou, Deng Shou suddenly took his own people to fight back!
This attack made situ Xiao confused.
Situ Xiao's men and horses were turned away from the gate of the city and were caught off guard by Deng Shou. Now Yuzhou City is like an unbreakable iron bucket.
Although Qinglong mountain is near Yuzhou City, it is only a refugee settlement area during the natural disaster period. There is no city wall, but only dense caves, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Situ Xiao wanted to take his army to Yuzhou City, but he was turned away by Deng Shou.
In Deng Shou's words, I respect you and take you as an example, but I didn't expect you to rebel!
Deng Shou didn't like Li Changting's private affairs, but he was absolutely loyal to the imperial court, and knew that rebellion would not come to a good end.
Situ Xiao was annoyed by Deng Shou. He thought that Deng Shou was very good, but he didn't think he was a fool.
Fortunately, Yuzhou is not only a big city.
To the west of Yuzhou is the border with the northwest. In the west, there is a border city, which was used to resist the barbarians in the northwest. Later, the northwest was included in the territory of DAHAO. The border city gradually lost its role and became an ordinary city.
But it is a border town after all. It is excellent in all aspects of attack, defense and defense.
This border city is the bottom line of situ Xiao. Once the city is broken, it means that Yuzhou is lost.
Situ Xiao's failure to occupy Yuzhou City means that he has lost nearly half of Yuzhou. Now he has to face not only the army of Li Changting and the king of Beiling, but also the sneak attack of Deng Shou, which can be said to be the first two.
Qingtingfang, Jizhou.
When a heavy snow came, the weather suddenly became very cold.
After the heavy snow, it was sunny for three consecutive days. It seemed that it was cool autumn again. The weather changed from cold to hot, indicating that the heavy snow was just an appetizer before winter.
It's still too early for Maodong. The last grain harvest of this year is in the first and middle of November, followed by a busy shopping for nearly a month. It's almost December when every household buys new year's goods, and Maodong officially begins.
However, Xu Qing could hardly hold back his small purse, but he was persuaded by Li Zhu to go shopping now. What he bought was the second-hand goods left over from last year, which was not worth it. Only in this way did he get rid of the impulse to go shopping.
Just when Xu Qing regretted, Tan Yang came back with a down and out woman.
Since Tan Yang went to study martial arts, except for the holidays, he usually had to come back. He was very surprised to see Xu Qing. He hasn't seen the child for some time and has grown up again.
Tan Yang said hello to Xu Qing and explained, "I asked my master for a day's leave. I came back to ask you a favor and help me take care of her."
Xu Qingshun with Tan Yang's eyes to see behind a ragged clothes, but beautiful young woman.
Tan Yang: "her name is Qiao Yu, a native of lezhou. During the natural disaster, I fled with my parents and went to lezhou to join my relatives. I told you that those relatives are not good people. I can survive thanks to Qiao Yu. Now that she is in trouble, I help her to repay her kindness."
Xu nodded to show understanding.
Tan Yang then said: "she is not bad by nature. She is not a troublemaker. She comes from a peasant family and is not afraid of hardship. Do you think you can put her in the park and give her a job to do? If she does not do well, I will give her a sum of money to make her own living."
Tan Yang just wants to repay her kindness, but has no feelings for Qiao Yu. He wants to give Qiao Yu a reliable job in the park to support herself. If Qiao Yu doesn't succeed, it will be the end of his duty to give Qiao Yu a sum of money.Xu Qing quickly understood Tan Yang's idea, nodded and agreed: "no problem."
Qiao Yu was born in a poor family. He must be able to work. As long as he can work and be obedient in the park, he has no problem supporting himself.
After a pause, Tan Yang said, "her right wrist has been broken. Now only one hand can be used..."
Xu Qing: "one hand can do the work, I will find someone to take her."
Tan Yang looked a song: "thank you, madam!"
Watching Tan Yang take Qiao Yu to the park, Xu Qing always feels that there seems to be some secret between the two.
From lezhou Lezhou is too far away from here, almost the distance from Lanzhou where Huling is.
Although Tan Yang has brought Qiao Yu back, Leshou is situ Xiao's territory. Li Zhu is powerless to find out Qiao Yu's origin, so he can only send someone to stare at Qiao Yu.
At this time, when the owner is not at home, any strangers in the house should not be taken lightly.
Li Zhu stares at these things, but Xu Qing doesn't worry. The closer he is to the winter moon, the more frequently Xu Qing runs to the Yu family.
Xu Yue is about to give birth. The doctor said it was in early November, but it is not sure that she will give birth in advance.
During this time, Xu Ying also put down the restaurant business. She often went to the Yu family to accompany Xu Yue. Although she was not related by blood, she was a sister growing up together and was more intimate than others.
This time, Xu Qing brought some beef jerky and pastries that can supplement her physical strength during production, and added some honey that Xu Yue liked. However, because the beef jerky was so delicious, Xu Yue ate half of it as soon as it was sent.
