early morning

When Ye Erniang came out of the room, she saw Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan sitting under the tree in the yard talking. Both of them were smiling and talking in a low voice. The faint dawn light shone on their faces, which added a light golden light to their fair skin. Ye Erniang blinked, for some reason, and felt that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little different from yesterday. Did they not know what happened last night?

"Second sister."

Chu Ling turned around and looked at Ye Erniang standing there looking at them in a daze and said in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ye Erniang shook her head, came back to her senses and smiled, "Why did you get up so early? There is also Mr. Changli, but I am not used to living in the place?" Mr. Changli is the richest man in the world after all, and I have never seen any kind of brocade clothes, jade food, carved beams and painted buildings. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a good place that ordinary people can never count on for the rest of their lives, but in his eyes, he is afraid that he will really be able to stand out.

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "You are polite to the master of the second village. Everything is fine. But I have always liked it and I just can't sleep when I get up early."

"So that's it." Ye Erniang felt relieved and walked up to look at Chu Ling with some curiosity, "What are you talking about?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Jun Wuhuan and I are talking about what to do in Weixian in the future."

This is indeed a very important thing. Ye Erniang originally wanted to hear it, but everyone was about to get up when they saw the time. After breakfast was late, everyone went to the study to discuss in detail. Looking at Ye Erniang's back as she hurried away, Jun Wuhuan said, "A Ling is lucky."

"What do you mean?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said in confusion.

Jun Wuhuan said, "Although these masters of Heilong Village are not extremely qualified and capable, they are all rare people who are honest and kind to treat others sincerely. And Miss Yaduo is also very concerned about Ah Ling." Chu Ling couldn't help but smile when she heard this and nodded, "Indeed, it is my luck to meet them." Whether it is the people of Heilong Village, Yaduo, or Jun Wuhuan and others, it is indeed her luck to meet such a group of people in such a world.

Jun Wuhuan stood up and stretched out his hand to Chu Ling and said, "It's still early, can A Ling take me around the city to get familiar with the environment?"

In fact, Chu Ling herself was not very familiar with Weixian, but she also felt it was necessary to get familiar with the environment, so she nodded and stood up.

"I'll say two..." Not far away, I felt a puffy cough. When the two turned around, they saw Yun Xingyue sitting lazily on the eaves, looking at them with a playful look, "Do you know what they look like now?"

Chu Ling blinked in confusion, "What do you think?"

"Broken sleeves." Yun Xingyue slowly spit out two words.

Chu Ling looked down at his clothes and was silent for a while.

Who made Chu Ling so outstanding about playing a boy? No one has ever thought about dressing up as a woman and pretending to be a man these days.

Jun Wuhuan gave Yun Xingyue a sharp eye knife, lowered his head and said to Chu Ling: "Don't pay attention to him, let's go."

Chu Ling shrugged and turned to Yun Xingyue and said, "Young Master Yun, do you know what the next sentence is?"

"Ah? Is there another sentence?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Those who are lust see lust."

Yun Xingyue touched her chin and said, "Is it because I am lustful, or are you two really..."

"Swoosh!"

A cold wind rushed straight to Yun Xingyue's face from the yard. Yun Xingyue screamed strangely, and her body flashed and had already turned to the other end of the roof. Yun Xingyue's angry voice came from afar, "Mr., wait for me!"

Jun Wuhuan said lightly: "Okay, I'll wait."

“…”

Wei County was originally a small town with more than 10,000 or less than 20,000 people, but now more than 10,000 people have been squeezed in, which is much more lively than usual. However, with Chu Ling's advice in advance, Qin Zhijie and Duan Yun also made serious arrangements, and the people who followed were properly resettled, and there were many patrolers on the street. However, these people did not disturb the lives of the original people. If there was any serious conflict between the original people and the new people, it would be troublesome.

Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan walked side by side on the road. It was still early and there were still people cleaning the streets. Occasionally, some early shops and vendors on the streets had already started doing business. Jun Wuhuan said: "This Qin Zhijie is a bit capable."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "He is a Jinshi, and he has undergone dynasty changes. He has been a county magistrate in this place for more than ten years and has never moved. Moreover, he is not bad among the people, and he is still capable."

Jun Wuhuan thought for a while and said, "Hide your weakness."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "I don't know how it was during the Tianqi Dynasty. The possibility of being suppressed is relatively high, but it is probably really hidden in the Northern Jin Dynasty." If a person like Qin Zhijie is willing to engage in camp and deal with the people of the Clan, there is no way that he can't be promoted to the official position. Nowadays, there are many people in the Central Plains who have joined the Clan and become rich. Young Jinshi like Qin Zhijie is the time when the Clan people use their favor and to hit the face of Tianqi. Qin Zhijie has always been unknown, and it is only his own reason.

Jun Wuhuan said: "It is rare for Ah Ling to use people in a non-conventional way."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Young Master Changli is praising me or scolding me?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Of course I'm praising you."

Just passed by a stall selling breakfast. Jun Wuhuan stopped and smiled, "Last time A Ling specially brought me breakfast. Why not treat A Ling to eat once today?" Chu Ling also stopped and followed him. Naturally, there would be no fine food in this kind of place. The stalls sold only common foods such as hot wonton noodles.

The two sat down at a small table on the street and ordered two bowls of wontons. The owner of the stall was a young couple. Although the place was not big, it was clean and the couple was very neat. The young boss responded and turned around to cook wontons.

The boss's wife carefully wiped the table, and poured a bowl of hot tea for the two of them with a thick tea bowl, and smiled: "The two young men are the first guests of today. Have a cup of hot water to warm up."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "The boss's wife is very early." It's just now that the sky is just open, but the stall has to be supported, boil water and roll noodles, and make wontons. The couple is afraid that they will go out before dawn.

The boss lady said, "My son said that while he is still at home, he will make more money to save. It was not so early in the past."

Chu Ling was stunned, "That big brother is going to go out?"

The boss's wife shook her head and said, "No, he is going to join the army. Isn't the city recruitment now? But there are still some things in our family that have not been arranged, so it's a few days late."

Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Are you not worried about the boss? You originally had a small business, and the couple could live a peaceful life if they manage well." The boss looked at her husband who was cooking wontons, and she felt a little reluctant. But she said, "There is no peace and security, it's just a slack life. We are a small place, and few people from the tribe are willing to come to our place. But that's true. When I saw a few tribesmen, I didn't even dare to show off. What's more, when I was young, there were many people in Wei County."

Where have those people gone now? Of course they are dead.

How did he die?

"In this world, who doesn't have a blood hatred with the people of the Clan? It's just that no one leads, and we are not capable of doing it, so we have to endure it." The boss lady sighed in a low voice.

Jun Wuhuan suddenly said, "Has the boss studied?"

The boss's wife was stunned, her smile on her face was a little dim, "I read it for a few years when I was young."

Chu Ling also felt that the couple didn't look like ordinary couples who set up stalls. His eyes fell on the young man busy cooking wontons not far away, and said, "The little boss is also a scholar."

The boss naturally heard their conversation and turned around and smiled at the two of them, "What's the use of studying these days? If I had known that the people of the Clan entered the country, I would have stopped studying since I was a child. It would be more useful to learn to kill pigs from others."

While talking, the young boss had already delivered two bowls of hot wontons to the two of them, and then took the rag from the boss's wife and started to wipe the table next to him.

Chu Ling asked, "Boss, if you go to the battlefield, aren't you afraid of any accidents leaving the boss's wife alone?"

The young boss didn't say anything, but just wiped the table faster. The boss lady smiled and said, "What's the point? It's better than being so frustrated for life. It's okay for us to live so frustrated for life. We can't let our children be so frustrated, right? If something happens to him, I will support a few children myself. If I really can't live, I'll just treat it as my life."

Chu Ling was silent for a while, then took a sip of the soup slowly and said, "If everyone had two such minds, there would be no matter what the people of the Clan."

The boss's wife couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't the young man also worried about the country and the people at such a young age?"

Chu Ling thought to himself that there may be some worries about the people, but there is really no worries about the country.

Gradually, guests came to have breakfast, and the young couple became busy. Seeing that Chu Ling was eating wontons in every bite, it meant that they didn’t know how delicious it was, so they said, “What are A Ling thinking?”

Chu Ling shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just think that the difference between people is so big."

There are those who are in a high position but are selfish and sell their country for glory and do everything. There are also those who are born in the wild but have good people and good people, and there are also those who are in the market but are still worried about the country and the people who are willing to live and die for them.

Jun Wuhuan said: "The various aspects of life are naturally different."

Chu Ling nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand and was about to say something, when a sharp sound suddenly came from the city tower not far away. It was the warning that the defenders on the city tower discovered the enemy. The two looked at each other, and Jun Wuhuan took out a small piece of silver and placed it on the table and rushed towards the direction of the city tower.

The people who were originally busy at the stall were also startled and turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came. The proprietress saw that the pair of brothers who were originally sitting on the side had disappeared. There was only a small piece of silver at the table.

In fact, the two bowls of wontons are just a dozen copper coins, and this small piece of silver can match their income for a few days. The boss's wife looked back at her husband at a loss. The husband comforted her and patted the back of her hand and signaled her to accept it first. The two young men don't look like ordinary people, and I don't know if they can meet them in the future. If they meet, I will give it back to them.

Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan arrived the fastest. When they arrived at the edge of the city tower, they saw flags shaking not far from the city, and were covered with heads. Jun Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and whispered to Chu Ling: "There are at least 50,000 people in the Southern Army."

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Fifty thousand people? This is so worthy of us."

Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "The walls of Wei County are well built, easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, if 50,000 people want to repel, it is probably not easy. How many soldiers are there in the city now?"

Before Chu Ling could answer, Zheng Luodi's voice came from a distance, saying, "We have been recruiting soldiers in the city these days. In addition, we were originally our own people, and there were a total of six or seven thousand people. But most of these people were newcomers who just joined. Not to mention shooting archers, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even get a knife."

Zheng Luo, Ye Erniang and others, walked up from the city tower quickly and said in a deep voice.

What Zheng Luo didn't say was that he didn't dare to bring these people up to the city tower now. If these people were frightened and suddenly collapsed when the battle started, it would be even more troublesome to have a great morale.

Chu Ling said: "Brother, guard first. As long as they don't attack, don't go out to fight."

Zheng Luo nodded with a serious expression. He also meant that they could not afford to fight with others now.

Chu Ling looked at Dou Yang and asked, "Third Brother, how many people are there outside?"

"Huh?" Dou Yang looked up at her, with an expression that I didn't know what you were talking about. Chu Ling smiled and said, "Third brother, I'm being troubled. I don't believe you will not leave any trump card." Dou Yang has always been cautious in his work. It is impossible for him to leave any trump card without any trump card, and bring all the Heilongzhai's family to Weixian.

Dou Yang sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I have left two thousand people outside not far from Wei County. I originally thought that if there is any mistake in Wei County, they could support them at any time. But now... cough cough." Dou Yang coughed twice. Even if they come to support them now, it would be useless. For 50,000 people to two thousand people, that is not support, that is to deliver vegetables to people.

Chu Ling didn't care about the number of soldiers and horses in Heilongzhai seemed to be far more than the number of soldiers and horses. He just asked: "Everyone is here, who have you handed those soldiers and horses?"

"Yunyi." Dou Yangdao.

"Who?" Chu Ling couldn't help asking again, Yun Yi? She almost forgot about Yun Yi. She thought he had gone to Cangyun City by himself, and his feelings were still in Heilong Village.

Dou Yang sighed: "Although Mr. Yun is still young, he is still reliable in doing things... he is more reliable than the fourth brother."

Di Jun rolled his eyes and looked at the sky without saying anything again. OK, no, in the eyes of the third brother, no one is more reliable than him.

Chu Ling said: "Okay, Yunyi, let's Yunyi. Where are they now?"

Jun Wuhuan frowned and said, "Aling, what are you going to do?"

Chu Ling said: "Isn't it your proposal by Mr. Changli? Try to help Wei County."

The others looked at Jun Wuhuan in unison, and Jun Wuhuan touched his nose and said, "I'm talking about a long-term plan."

Chu Ling spread his hands and smiled, "I can't wait for the long term now. If these 50,000 people can't solve the problem, what's the long term?"

Jun Wuhuan said, "I'll accompany you."

Chu Ling shook his head and said, "Help me guard Wei County."

"..." Jun Wuhuan frowned and looked at Chu Ling without saying anything. Chu Ling sighed and looked at Jun Wuhuan without saying anything. Staying in Wei County is actually not easier than going out. After all, it has to face the pressure of 50,000 soldiers. If the Wei County city is broken, then nothing they can do outside is useless. Chu Ling knows that Jun Wuhuan is worried about him, but she has to ask Jun Wuhuan to stay. Nangong Yuyue's crazy is in Xinzhou, and no one knows whether he will interfere in Wei County. If he intervenes, no one can deal with him except Jun Wuhuan.

Ye Erniang frowned and said, "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do?" Young Master Changli was unwilling to let Xiao Wu go, which means it must be very dangerous.
