Chapter 11, Xu Wuzhi's discussion

The next afternoon, Zu Zhao and his party returned to Xu Wu.

Zujiazhuang heard that Zu Zhao was able to temporarily escape from the county government to make contributions.

Zu Zhan, Zu Ji, Zu Cheng and others came to the official road outside North Guoting early to wait to welcome them. Not long after, even Chen Xianjun and Anyangting Zhang's family rushed to celebrate when they heard the news. Just as Zu Zhao and Li Xin were eager to discuss and transfer Yi Yong to the county to help the county, so they simply took advantage of everyone's gathering together to discuss the matter by the way.

After meeting Shen Yuan and his party on the outskirts of Wucheng County yesterday morning, Li Xin sent someone to Xu Wu's prior notice. At this time, Zuju, Chen Xianjun and the Zhang family were somewhat prepared, and also had a discussion at the same time. Chen Xianjun's worries are the same as what Zu Zhao said to Li Xin last night. Xu Wuhu suffered frequent accidents and threatened by Hu Ma to commit crimes at any time. He is really powerless.

However, since Zu Zhao can consider this problem, he naturally has a way to deal with it.

In the Zhongtang Hall of Zujiazhuang, he proposed to everyone that he could temporarily divide the army into two parts, lead the children of the ancestral family, and then gather some volunteers who volunteered to, about 400 people, including 200 knights and 200 archers, and rushed back to Pinggang County, the county with Li Xin as soon as possible. While withdrawing these 400 volunteers, the county government continued to issue a public announcement to recruit volunteers, and organized training and arrangements according to 200 people in batches in each period.

The reason why it is to recruit in batches is that it is impossible to determine how long the battle against rebellion in the county will take place. Second, it also considers the economic strength of the county. Xu Wuxian County's recruitment of 800 heroes this year is already the limit of the major gentry. If they want to increase the expenditure on Yiyong, it is better to directly divide them to criminals. Thieves. The former is really going to donate, while the latter may not really invade Xu Wuxian County.

After listening to Zu Zhao's proposal, although Chen Xianjun had some doubts, it was still within the range he could bear, so there was no intention to object. As for the two rich gentry families of the Zhang family and the Zu family, I agree with this very much. There is no need to say more about the Zhang family. Anyway, it is not the Zhang family who was transferred to the county government this time. If the ancestral family wants to "pick the big beam", it is necessary to do it. Half of the righteous and bravery can also reduce the burden of their daily supply of money and grain. Why not?

If it is normal, the ancestral family will also have the same thoughts as the Zhang family, but now it is very different.

It is clear that Zhang Wen, a general colluded with the Zhao family in the south of the city, tried to take charge of an ancestral family. At this time, Zu Zhao, the eldest son, is still guilty. If he does not try his best to protect the family and defend the country, it will not only make the county government ugly, but also solidly the crime punished by Zhang Wen. Of course, aside from this level, Zuju is still looking forward to Zu Zhao's great achievements. This year's inspection has not been determined yet because of the Taishou accident. Now the turmoil in the county is a good opportunity to make contributions. How can we not grasp it?

The only thing Zu Ju is worried about is Zu Zhao's safety. After all, he lost his son in middle age. Now there is only Zu Zhao, the grandson left in the family. It is inevitable to worry about the murder of the military family. Fortunately, he can still think of this point now. After all, he has seen Zu Zhao's ability in the past few months, and if the three generations of military family don't even have this courage, it is equivalent to humiliating the family. There is no other choice between public and private.

After that, the Zhongtang Hall discussed the details of the recruitment of righteous bravery, including how to instigate the volunteer bravery to go together, how to assemble the military armor to support the county government, the money and food and materials needed along the way, and the relevant leadership issues of the team, etc. Although Zu Zhao is not very old, after all, he is quite famous in the county, which is reflected in Wen Tao's martial arts strategy and deserves to be the leader of Xu Wuchi's volunteer team. However, even so, several other people are needed to serve as deputy.

Several children who were usually familiar with Zu Ji, Zu Cheng and others under the hall volunteered, but after thinking deeply, Zu Zhao decided to let Zu Ji stay temporarily and let Zu Cheng accompany him alone. In addition, just count Han Dang, Gulinaer and Zuling among their uncles. The reason for this arrangement is that Xu Wu County may not be stable and comprehensive. A few months ago, the Hu thieves were able to disturb the situation. At present, at the time of large-scale turmoil in the county, it is obvious that they will take advantage of the opportunity to enter. In any case, there should be some people at home who can fight and kill the enemy.

Zu Ji listens to Zu Zhao's words and is quite brave, but after all, he is too young, and his mind is simple and impulsive. Xu Wuyi County will help the county government this time. At that time, it will inevitably be under the leadership of the county government. In case the ancestor is stubborn during the war, it will only miss a big event. Zu Zhao hopes that Zu Ji can practice well at home for a while, and it's not too late to go out to start a career when he is mature.

Other details are discussed accordingly, even if there is no definite result, there is more or less a bottom in each other's mind.

Finally, Zu Zhao asked Li Xin very seriously about the Yiyong of each county to help the county government and the supply of grain and fodder during his stay in the county government. This is very important. You can't let counties bravely prepare their own food and fodder, otherwise, let alone counties can't continue to recruit filling troops, and this long journey of logistics supply will invisibly increase the burden on counties.

Li Xin had some doubts. He said, "To be honest, the county government did not explain this matter before leaving, but it is expected that since it is Gongwei County to subvert the county, it is naturally impossible for the counties to bear the extra money and food. If this matter is not done, the state government will also send corresponding materials. Please rest assured."

Zuzu Zhao pondered for a while, and he was still uncertain in his mind. He didn't like to do uncertain things.

The day before yesterday in Pinggang County, he witnessed the current situation of the county government. Not to mention that it is very difficult for the county government to urgently recruit volunteers. Once Wen Chou and Tian Kai lead the remnants back to the city, they are afraid that it will add more burden. After all, Youbeiping County is not a rich place, and it has been entangled with the Hu people all year round and has weak financial resources.

In case the volunteers of counties rushing to Pinggang County, there will not be enough grain and fodder to maintain the morale of the counties, but even a mutiny. It's really thankless to say that it will add obstacles.

But now there is no benefit from too much suspicion. We can only take one step at a time. I hope that the county and state governments can know the seriousness of the current situation and will not be reluctant to allocate some food and fodder.

With a slight sigh, he said, "I hope everything will go well."

Li Xin is actually very in his heart. He has been in the county government during this period, and he is very clear about the situation of the county government. In the final analysis, since the grain and fodder sent to Wenchou to fight against Changcheng County and let the Taiping thieves hijack, the county's inventory loss is extremely serious. Even if there is still some surplus food at this time, it will not be too much.

He can't inform the people present of this situation in advance. He also holds a step-by-step mentality and believes that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. The most urgent thing is to transfer troops to the county government as soon as possible. As long as the county government is still there, it can be more or less stable in people's hearts, so as not to let Youbeiping County fall into complete chaos.

It has been agreed to invite the three elders in the county to make a joint resolution early tomorrow morning.

Zu Zhao arranged for Li Xin and his party to rest on the village. After coming out, he went to the backyard to find Han Dang.

Since returning from Lingzhi County to beg for thieves, Han Dang stayed in the village for a while. He was supposed to leave a while ago. Because Zu Zhao was later imprisoned, Han Dang continued to stay for a period of time for convenience. When Zu Zhao saw Han Dang, he detailed the situation in the county and the county, and invited him to contribute to the county government.

Han Dang was originally full of blood. If it hadn't been for being wanted in Lingzhi County, he should have joined Lingzhi County's courage to prepare for robbers at this time. The county government suffered from thieves, which was not only responsible for everyone, but also used it. He did not hesitate at all, even if he agreed.

Returning to the inner courtyard residence, Zu Zhao had no leisure and no sleepiness, so he took out the plate armor he wore when he begged the thief, studied it carefully for a while, and recorded what should be modified. In the middle of intensive study, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and soon a little maid appeared.

The little maid stood outside the door, stroked her anxious chest first, calmed down, and then said, "Big son, big son, that woman has woken up."

Zuzuo immediately stood up, quickly walked to the door and asked, "Is she making trouble?"

The little maid shook her head and said, "That's not, but she wants to eat. We have sent some hot porridge and cakes, but she seems to be very hungry and wants to eat it after eating.

Zu Zhao slowly nod and then ordered indifferently, "Ok, she can give her as much as she wants to eat. You go first. I'll be there later."

The little maid answered and turned around and trotted away.

Zuzu Zhao returned to the room and planned to patiently deal with the plate armor in advance, but there was always something in his heart that he couldn't put down. Shicai's little maid came to inform the so-called "wake up woman", which was Xin Qiubai who brought all the way back today. When he returned to Zujiazhuang, Xin Qiubai was still unconscious, so he temporarily arranged for him to rest in a room and invited an old man with medical skills in the village to diagnose and treat him.

He did not first inform Zhuang that this woman was a "infamous" black arrow thief. Even if he went to pursue Xin Qiubai's Zucheng and other children with him in the Taishoufu accident that day, he had already told him not to mention this matter for the time being. He knew very well that Xin Qiubai shot and killed many of his own children, which was a deep blood feud, but he did not intend to avenge him until he knew the identity of the master messenger behind the scenes.

With a long sigh, he put aside the business at hand for the time being and got up and went out.

When I came to the door of the wing room where Xin Qiubai was resting, I happened to meet Gulinaer. After all, Xin Qiubai is a murderer, but he is also a female person. If a group of old men take care of him, he is afraid that there will be many inconveniences, so Zu Zhao will order Gulinaer to respond.

When Gulinaer saw Zu Zhao, her sapphire-like eyes were a little resentful and said in a slightly complaining tone, "When she woke up, she refused to say anything. She only knew how to eat, and just choked several times. I think she is going to chop herself to death.

Zu Zhao was not curious about this. Last night, before the post station met him, he guessed that Xin Qiubai was not in a good situation now, so he knocked on the door of the post station in the middle of the night, intending to extort a hot meal to make a living. Not only that, even the elder who diagnosed him today said that Xin Qiubai did have internal injuries, but the most important thing was that he was too weak, as if he had not eaten enough for many days.

smiled and said easily, "It doesn't matter, just let her eat enough."

Gulinarnuo opened his mouth and looked three or two dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't say much.

Z Zhao walked into the wing room and saw two servants standing aside in formal manner. In the bedroom, Xin Qiubai sat on the edge of the bed and was swallowing the food in the plate in front of him into his mouth. He came to the door of the bedroom and stood there. He calmly looked at Xin Qiubai, who didn't care about eating at all, and sighed in his heart.

Xin Qiubai seemed to realize that someone was staring at him, so he looked up at the door. When she found that it was Zu Zhao standing outside the door, a fierce luster flashed in her eyes, but soon it gradually dissipated and became dull and empty. Then she lowered her head and continued to eat, but the action at this time became reserved.

Zu Zhao looked at Xin Qiubai and only felt that the other party was an ordinary woman at this time. There are a few strands of hair scattered on the forehead, which looks messy and sticky. The big eyes are dim, and the Buddha is a star covered by dark clouds. The originally shocking arrow scar on his cheek was not fierce at this time, but a little pitiful. The small and lovely mouth keeps chewing, and there are many rice grains and oil stains near the lips, full of sloppy and crampedness.

After waiting for a while, he stepped into the bedroom.

Xin Qiubai deliberately recognized that he was not facing Zu Zhao, and still held a wooden bowl full of food in his hand.

Zu Zhao did not get too close, stopped about five steps away, and did not intend to speak for a moment.

Xin Qiubai didn't say anything and ate silently. He just occasionally looked up at Zu Zhao standing not far in front of him.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly showed a strange and awkward atmosphere.

In this way, Zu Zhao saw that the food in the wooden bowl in Xin Qiubai's hand was almost eaten, and then he said slowly, "As long as you can be calm, no one here will hurt you. I saw that you were a female streamer and injured, so I didn't detain you in a shabby room. I just hope you can take care of yourself.

Xin Qiubai didn't say anything, just turned around and picked the remaining food from the plate into the wooden bowl in his hand, and then turned away.

After a pause, Zu Zhao then asked, "I have something to ask you anyway, and I hope you can give me an answer. Why did you stab me with the hilt of that sword last night?

Xin Qiubai stopped his chopsticks and chopsticks in his hand, and his face was a little panicked. His empty eyes became more and more empty. It was as if the Buddha was also asking this question in his heart.
