Chapter 41 Our Uncle?
Leaving the wild boar forest, Li Xu asked the brigade to return to Malanshan Farm with the seized supplies and prisoners. He only brought five cavalrymen, chef Chen Hansheng and Zhang Mingrong and other rescued women into Sanshui County.
Sanshui County is located on an ancient river, with two mountains in the north and south, so it has become a pattern of narrow north and long east and west.
The county town is naturally not big, with the population in the city being around 10,000.
Sanshui County is under the jurisdiction of Yaozhou, and is less than 100 miles away from Yaozhou City.
Li Xu brought people into the city and found Li Qin who had been waiting for her for two days in the only inn in the city.
Li Qin was naturally happy to see her brother, but she was a little surprised when she saw her brother following a group of young women.
However, when he learned that these women were all poor people rescued by Li Xu from the bandit's nest, all the surprises turned into sympathy. He pulled Zhang Mingrong and others and spoke gently, and took the initiative to inn staff to prepare meals and hot water. Seeing that the girls were worn out, he came over and asked Li Xu if he wanted to buy some clothes for these girls to change clothes.
Of course, Li Xu would not refuse. This time he seized a lot of money from Li Hongji's nest and brought a lot of money. In addition, he had already planned to resettle these women, so he generously took out 200 taels of silver and asked Li Qin to take Zhang Mingrong to buy clothes for these women.
After learning that Li Qin was Li Xu's girl and being so enthusiastic and careful about them, the girls were very moved and felt that this noble man was a good person.
Not to mention how Li Qin appeased the women, just after Li Xu's meal, a soldier came to report that the girl with long legs came to find him.
Li Xu had sent someone to send Yu Yu to Sanshui County before, but he did not see him in the inn. Instead, he met the two cavalrymen who had arranged to escort Yu Yu.
After asking, the cavalry said that Yu Yu had entered the city and asked them to stay in the inn first. He said that he had another place to stay and would come to search after Li Xu entered the city.
Because Li Xu had previously told them to follow the arrangements of the long-legged girl, the two of them could only obey.
Although Li Xu was a little strange, it was normal for the long-legged girl to think that she was a second-generation official with a deep background, so it was natural to have a place to stay in the county town.
Not long after, a long-legged girl dressed in men's clothing walked in. She was wearing a red slim warrior suit, a jade crown on her head, a lancet hanging on her waist, and two thin and straight long legs wrapped in thin close-fitting silk pants, appearing and attracting endless imagination.
While walking, a pretty goose egg face had a sweet smile, dimples appeared lightly, and the beautiful almond eyes contained a unique confidence and pride. Although they were full of heroic posture, they did not lose the youthful and agileness of a girl.
"If your outfit is changed to white, it will be Zhao Min."
Li Xu looked up and said with a smile.
"Who is Zhao Min? Do I know you? Are you very familiar with you?"
Long legs were very happy to see Li Xu, but he became interested in hearing Li Xu's words.
"She is as good as you, and she looks okay, but she doesn't have a good look at people. She has a bad temper sometimes and will kill everyone at all. I will introduce you to you when I have time."
Li Xu said nonsense, and after saying that, he added to his heart: "I know her, but she probably doesn't know me."
Unexpectedly, although Yu Yu was quick to kill, he was a second-generation official with a very positive outlook. He shook his head and said, "I don't like people who like to kill people randomly, so forget it. Such people are very dangerous, so you have to be careful."
Li Xu nodded in agreement with a smile. He always humbly accepted other people's kindness. As for whether he would adopt it, that's another matter.
"sit."
Li Xu tapped his chin and signaled to sit casually. He sat directly opposite Li Xu without hesitation, staring at Li Xu and staring at Li Xu.
Li Xu was embarrassed to be seen, and raised his eyebrows and said, "This girl, I know I am extremely charming. Just take a look at it, but you can charge me if you look at me again."
Hearing this, his long legs smiled with a curved eyebrow and eyes: "Okay, okay, how do you plan to charge? I'll see if I can afford it."
Li Xu sneered and said, "I promise to see you see your family going bankrupt."
His serious look made his long legs laugh even more. He finally stopped and looked at Li Xu and said softly: "You look in a good mood. Did you gain a lot this time?"
She knew what Li Xu was going to do, but Li Xu didn't tell her about the more specific things.
Hearing her question, Li Xu slightly adapted the bandit suppression yesterday, and turned the fact that he used musketeers and grenadiers to destroy the mountain village into his own way into the thief's nest, hundreds of thieves killed by his own strength fled everywhere, and finally completely burned the thief's nest and rescued more than 20 poor women who were captured by the thief.
Say what can be said and never say what can’t be said. This is the basic principle of Li Xu’s dealing with people outside.
In Li Xu's previous story, he was comparable to Zhao Zilong who entered and exited Changbanpo for seven times. The other soldiers were background boards.
Originally, Li Xu had just concealed the existence of musketeers and grenadiers, and secondly, it was because men liked to brag in front of beautiful women and had another problem, so he whispered casually and didn't expect others to believe it.
But unexpectedly, the long legs in front of me looked at Li Xu with admiration after hearing this, and her eyes were bright like the little fan in later generations who looked at the idols she talked about every day.
"Brother Xu, you are really amazing. You can destroy a group of hundreds of bandits by one person and rescue so many poor women. Even the knights in the novel " are just like this. If you go into battle as a general, you will definitely become a famous general."
Yu Yu looked at Li Xu and said sincerely.
Although Li Xu's face became thicker, he was a little embarrassed to be praised and waved his hand modestly, "Sit down, sit down, Ji Cao Wuliu."
Yu Yu looked dull: "I'm sitting there? What kind of grass is Jicao?"
Li Xu did not give her the chance to ask questions, and directly changed the topic:
"Where did you live yesterday?"
He just asked casually and didn't expect her to answer.
Who knew that Yu Yu said without hesitation: "I live in the county government."
Seeing Li Xu's question mark face, she explained again: "The magistrate of Sanshui County is my uncle-in-law. I lived with my aunt last night."
Only then did Li Xu realize that the second generation of officials had relatives wherever they went, and they were all local bosses. As expected, the background was not ordinary.
He blinked and suddenly asked, "Well, my uncle-in-law didn't say what new imperial edict has been issued by the imperial court about the thief army in Yan'an Prefecture?"
Yu Yu thought for a while and said, "It seems like I heard my aunt mention it, saying that my uncle-in-law has been busy setting up a village camp these two days. Huh? Why do you say it is our uncle-in-law?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that something seemed to be wrong. She looked at Li Xu with confusion, but she felt a little hot on her pretty face.
