"The sun is hazy and the moon is hazy and the wind is wind. Where is there a gust and where is the wind? The sun is not red, and there is no rain and wind. The reflection is before and after the rouge is gone. The stars are shining, and the wind must be done..."

In a self-contained courtyard of Zhejiang Martial Arts School, officers who came to study from the water camp were shaking their heads and reciting Qi Jiguang's "Song of Wind and Waves" with the teacher, like a group of boys who were still enlightened.

During this expansion, the Jinhua Town Water Camp, which is responsible for the Dongyang River-Qujiang River Waterway, will soon be upgraded to Zhejiang Inland Water Division, and will be directly under the jurisdiction of Anyuan Marquis Mansion. The war ahead has stopped. More than one-third of the officers in the Water Camp have been recruited to participate in the martial arts lecture school. The subjects they studied are literate. The number seems to have nothing to do with their old career, but no one dares to say anything, because even the guerrillas in the Qianshui Camp, who have just been promoted to deputy general, are studying here in a regular manner, so the officers below naturally dare not do anything.

The loud reading sound became smaller and smaller the distance, just like the other courtyards where the artillery and engineer officers were working overtime to train.

When the sound reached the door, several sounds were already inaudible and melted together. The ears were filled with things that could not even be called a word. Ni Liangxu walked out of the martial arts school as usual.

Today is a day of rest, but the officers who came to participate in the training of the water camp, artillery and engineers have no chance to rest at all. If you don’t mention the water camp, they are all guys who should have completed the basic knowledge of being an officer. In Chen Wen’s words, they are both technical troops. From theory to practice, the training time is long and the pressure of expansion is high, so the rest is simply spared.

Ni Liangxu didn't understand what technical troops were. It sounded like a craftsman's work, but he knew it was not. But these had nothing to do with him. Today, Xiu Mu was just right, so he naturally had to go out for a walk. This was something he would inevitably do when Xiu Mu came.

After leaving the street in Jiufang Lane, Ni Liangxu first walked towards Dongshi Street. With the gradual recovery of Jinhua Fucheng, the population naturally increased. At first, most of the Ming army's subordinates were waiting for the division of land. After the Cao Conglong Rebellion, even when the Ming army was heading west in large numbers, although the military subordinates began to move to various places after the division of land was issued, with the issuance of a series of government orders from the government and county governments, more and more people became interested in the city and began to gather here. Among them, Dongshi Street and the south of the city near Dongyang River were the first areas to begin to recover.

Ni Liangxu had previously visited the Zhaozhong Temple commemorating the "Jinhua Massacre". According to the explanation of the temple Zhu, he knew that the Dongshi Street was the last barrier for the defenders at that time, and naturally it was the most dilapidated after the war.

The Qing Dynasty ruled in Jinhua for several years. Dongshi Street, which had become a ghost, had only more shops to purchase goods, but in fact it was far from half a percent of the old concept. It was said that the Ming army had not improved when they first arrived, but it has been greatly improved in recent months.

Although it was not too early to enter Dongshi Street, there were not many people at all. Some were farmers who came to sell agricultural products, some were people who came to purchase, some shopkeepers, guys, and many merchants led their friends to walk towards the various shops.

At present, shops of all sizes nearby are actually apart at a distance when choosing a location, because most of them are planning to buy nearby shops after making money. Even if they don’t have such an idea, they will be persuaded by nearby shops and instead go to buy shops at a distance.

Nowadays, most of the shops on Dongshi Street are very low and simple, but there must be many shop owners who have the idea of ​​making money to expand. They are much better than Dongshi Street, which had only a few warehouses before, and it can even be said that they have begun to gradually regain their vitality.

After eating Fu Yuanzi, Ni Liangxu drank the soup in the bowl, which happened to be the original soup and the original food. Then he settled the account and walked away.

The people in Dongshi Street felt that there were more people than when he came to bed last time. I don’t know if this was an illusion, but the recovery of the people’s livelihood in the city still made him feel a little more comfortable.

"...If we do something wrong, we must pay the price, otherwise it will only implicate those brothers who trust us. They are innocent. In fact, we should not doubt the people who value Sun Juren. This Marshal Chen must have done better than us, and must have done better than Cao Conglong and other corrupt scholars, but his selfishness has brought us to this point... Brother Ni, live well and do well. Even if he has hatred in his heart, he will only treat it as helping Sun Juren and Wu. This is what we owe them."

Recalling Zhou Qingui's last words silently, Ni Liangxu had already walked far away without realizing it. They and Cao Conglong had an internal strife behind Chen Wen. Chen Wen turned around and killed all the people who took the lead. This was a matter of repaying them one after another. However, even though Chen Wen let go of those ordinary white-headed members and still gave them equal land, so many old brothers were dead, Ni Liangxu's hatred had not completely disappeared. If it weren't for Zhou Qingui's last words, he would not have taken the initiative to submit to Chen Wen's army.

"Brother Zhou is right. We are all brothers, but Sun Juren and Wu are also old brothers back then. We came down from Luo Chengyan and fought with Chen Wen for their own duties, but we have always lost our loyalty to Sun Juren and the others."

He had already thought about these things clearly, but his loyalty in his heart still couldn't let go.

Today, walking in the streets and alleys of the city and watching the city gradually recovering from its vitality is probably the greatest comfort for Ni Liangxu. Because many of them were created by Sun Yu's efforts, the Anyuan Hou was indeed able to use Sun Yu's talents more than others. Before serving Chen Wen's army, he was the only place where he, the martial artist, could help Sun Yu, Wu Dengke and others.

Moreover, not only Sun Yu, Wu Dengke and others, but also the ordinary rebels of the Baitou Army and the vast majority of people in this area were able to be liberated from the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty because of the emergence of Chen Wen.

Only by thinking this way can his heart be free from the biting of hatred...

Moving aimlessly, suddenly, a carriage drove past the intersection at the other end of the street and alley. A familiar mark on the carriage reflected the corner of Ni Liangxu's eyes the moment before it disappeared, and immediately aroused a memory that repeatedly tortured his heart.

"If I had recognized that word at that time, maybe she would not have been able to leave the city; if I killed that group of people in Qiaoxia Village, maybe Chen Wen would not have come back so quickly; if Chen Wen had not come back so quickly, maybe everyone could have escaped back to Luochengyan..."

Once he thought of this, Ni Liangxu hurriedly chased him out with a knife. His foot strength since childhood made him hang out in the distance of the carriage without losing. As for why he chased him and what he did to chase him, he himself didn't know, but even so, he still chased him all the way, just as unaware as possible.

The carriage headed south and soon arrived at Tianning Wanshou Temple in the south of the city. Ni Liangxu was decorated with it from afar, and saw with his own eyes that even though it was so beautiful and unparalleled, he got off the carriage and stepped into the temple to incense.

After a while, almost the same time as he had expected, the figure walked out of the temple, boarded the carriage and set off on his way back.

After hiding, Ni Liangxu quickly stuck behind him and followed the carriage all the way to the north of the city. However, not long after this time, he found another familiar figure that seemed to be blatantly stuck behind him, as if he was planning to find a secluded place to meet the woman on the carriage.

"Slaughter this dog and man together!"

As soon as this thought came to my mind, Ni Liangxu was immediately startled.

He had promised Zhou Qingui himself, and was loyal and determined to do his best to help Sun Yu and others. He believed in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness not long ago, he even swore allegiance in front of that man. This idea actually arose at this moment. When the moment of clearness reappeared in his mind, this crazy idea immediately scared him to the spot and soon disappeared into the streets and alleys.

The little sister of the Zhou family in the carriage did not know that she was only one step away from an unplanned assassination, but she turned into danger as the assassin blamed herself. At this moment, she had just returned from Wanshou Temple in Tianning and was about to go home for dinner.

Soon, the carriage drove into a small alley, and then went forward to the back door of her house. When the carriage reached the back door, the little sister of the Zhou family had just got off the car, but suddenly asked and heard a call.

"Little sister!"

The voice was filled with the surprise of reunion after a long separation. Of course, it would not be her brother Zhou Jingting, nor were the two cousins ​​who were always hesitant and were not determined until a few days ago when they asked Zhou Jingting's relationship to enter the civil service training class for training. Such a kind name would not be someone else.

"Young Master He."

The man in the distance of the alley was nothing but Zhou Jingting's brother-in-law. Since the last time he helped the Zhou sister escape from the city, he has been eager to marry this woman home, not for anything else, but that look is enough, and there is no need for any reason.

The matchmaker who was asking for marriage had already gone to the Zhou family, and even his sister agreed to help, but the Zhou family never had a clear letter, which really made him anxious, which led to this scene today.

However, the little sister of the Zhou family did not have even a little bit of good feelings for Mr. He. It was not that she didn't know the word "gratitude", but that time she met, Mr. He's performance really made her very disgusted - she looked at her with a lustful look along the way, and even her sister-in-law, Mr. He's sister, was not worried at all. The chaos at that time was coming, but he didn't know that the Zhou family was Chen Wen's best friend, and his sister was Zhou Jingting's wife, but he still did this, which shows that this person is cold-hearted by nature.

In fact, since the quellion, the reputation of the Zhou family’s younger sister in the boudoir of the rich gentry in Jinhua Mansion has quickly dropped to the extreme.

He actually dared to take his maid and coachman to Quzhou for help without a few days without traveling for two hundred miles. The word "crazy" is impossible to describe. Coupled with the imperial edict that Chen Wen promised, a girl who was not married with her own strength, it really subverted the way of thinking of this era. Under envy, jealousy and hatred, the younger sister of the Zhou family naturally became a model of a crazy woman and a negative example of education in the boudoir.

The Zhou family’s younger sister was not completely unaware of this, but she didn’t care at all, because she just did what she should do and what she had to do in order to protect her family. No matter how others say she didn’t care.

However, even with such a reputation, the threshold of the Zhou family was almost flattened by the matchmaker who came to ask for marriage. The reason was no different. With the rapid growth of the Ming army, Chen Wen's title continued to increase. The Zhou family was already Chen Wen's best friend, and Zhou Jingting's power naturally also increased rapidly. With such a brother-in-law, marrying the Zhou family's younger sister home is also of great benefit to the career of the officialdom.

Most of the people who marry only like power and position, but Mr. He likes her. However, the younger sister of the Zhou family hates such people who are frivolous and frivolous in nature because she knows very well what the result of serving people with sex is. There are too many similar stories written in the book, which has long made her hate them.

The matchmaker's sweet words can make them go back and forth, and the sister-in-law's persuasion can be ignored, but her parents' concerns about her marriage still make her have to worry about her choice because she doesn't want to see her parents sad about it.

However, the young master He in front of her had no idea at all. However, just as she was thinking about how to drive the toad away from her sight once and for all, another voice sounded behind her.

"Miss Zhou?"

The Zhou sister was very familiar with this voice. She once wanted to know what kind of person the owner of the voice was, why she was so unique, and even what was related to Li Zhi, whom she had always admired. Although the scene that day still disappointed her, she still had doubts about that scene, because Chen Wen's status was there, any remarks could have a great impact. And Li Zhi's thoughts...

But since Chen Wen was unwilling to discuss Li Zhi with her, she did not intend to force this. At least she, a girl, could not take the initiative to go to Chen Wen just to ask such a question that may never have an answer.

However, as this sound rang out, the Zhou sister suddenly had a plan, a plan that was enough to solve many problems.

The next moment, the little sister of the Zhou family walked up to Chen Wen slowly, without respect, and stood directly beside Chen Wen, introducing to the Young Master He: "This is Marquis An Yuan, the Shangguan of his brother."

Although the two did not have physical contact, the sweet smile when the Zhou family girl looked at Chen Wen and stood beside Chen Wen like a bird dependent on others still scared Mr. He. At the moment when he was stunned, Chen Wen seemed to understand the intention, and showed a look of arrogant look on the world, and asked Mr. He tacitly: "It turns out to be Mr. He, I dare to ask the Lord of the Lord."

As soon as this said, Mr. He seemed to have been stabbed by a needle, and immediately replied, "I dare not insult my reputation." Then he disappeared at the end of the alley like a escaping.

"It seems that not only is hesitant, but he is stupid enough to be certain."

Seeing this scene, the little sister of the Zhou family couldn't help but smile proudly, but before she could turn around and explain to Chen Wen, Chen Wen's shameless and unquestionable voice had already sounded in her ears.

"It seems that I have helped Xiaoma Zhou a little favor. So as a reward, I want to invite Xiaoma Zhou to have lunch together. I wonder if I can give this face to you?" (To be continued.)
