Sun Fuling took the snails into the water and washed them, then took out the scissors and cut off the tips of their tails one by one: "You are worried all day long, why not get rid of him early."
"That's what I meant." Initially, it was Fu Shanlie who led the Xiqian puppet army to fight guerrilla warfare against He Lingchuan, hoping to exhaust Yuheng City until it ran out of gas and lamps. Now the situation has been reversed. It was He Lingchuan who used the dragging technique to fight against He Lingchuan.
Fushan Lie's gangsters and minions have been wiped out. I want to clear out the remaining evildoers in Yuheng City and pay the minimum price. Anyway, time is mine.
Both of them had good reasons for doing this, but now He Lingchuan decided to speed up.
There is a large bamboo forest nearby.
He Lingchuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and turned Master Sun into the dense bamboo forest.
The dazzling sunlight passed through the layers of leaves, leaving only a little mottled color. Master Sun was held in his arms, with his back pressed against the hard bamboo. As soon as his eyes caught the little color, it was completely blocked by He Lingchuan.
This man was as thick and hard as a wall, and she could no longer push him away casually.
Then, he took the air away from her mouth.
This bright and refreshing spring suddenly became hot and sticky.
Sun Fuling's face was as red as the morning glow on the horizon, and she suddenly closed her eyes, as if even the little light in the bamboo forest was dazzling.
He Lingchuan took advantage of the fact that she was dizzy, so he quietly picked her up and turned her around.
In his hands, she was no more than a blade of grass.
At this moment, Sun Fuling suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Go home." Why are they playing with a large group of children here? "It's rare that there is no military affairs in the afternoon, let's go and play by ourselves?"
Sun Fuling blinked: "Isn't this just an outing?"
"My ears are almost deafened. You call this an outing?" He Lingchuan chuckled, "There is a new shop in the city that specializes in playing the Mysterious Formation. Haven't you always wanted to try something new?"
In Yuandu City and Lingxu City, the Mizong Array was not a new thing. But here, it was not until the Longchuan Trade Road was opened that entertainment facilities such as the Mizong Array were introduced to Yuheng City from the outside world.
Sun Fuling spat at him: "Today is for spring outing and work!"
"There are other wives outside, and the children are not lost. They can have their own fun, and they don't need you." Master Sun twisted in his arms a few times, and He Lingchuan immediately tightened his grip.
Good twist, give it a few more twists!
She laughed and hit him on the shoulder: "Don't make trouble, put me down!"
At this moment, the sound of kicking footsteps could be heard outside. The steps were very fast and the steps were very short.
Both He Lingchuan and Master Sun heard it.
This should be some child coming over.
"Little Fatty, Little Fatty is here." Sun Fuling wanted to push him away and walk out, but He Lingchuan seized the last chance and pushed her away from a bush of bamboo to steal the incense again.
"Master Sun, great commander!" Xiaopang walked into the bamboo forest.
When I first walked in from the sunshine, the bamboo forest was a bit dark. It took a while for Xiaopang to get used to it before he dared to walk in.
Wow, it's so empty here. Doesn't it look like there's anyone here?
Erya said that Master Sun and the commander-in-chief entered the bamboo forest. Could it be that he was lying to him?
But the fish basket was left on the shore. It seems to belong to Master Sun?
The little fat man took courage, took another hundred steps forward, and called out twice more.
The bamboo four feet away suddenly rustled, making him tremble. But then, two figures came around from behind the bamboo, and the commander's voice came slowly:
"Little Fatty, what's wrong?"
Xiaopang took a closer look and saw that the commander-in-chief was walking towards him with a smile, while Master Sun was two steps behind.
"What are you doing?" he shouted for a long time, but neither the commander nor the master responded.
He Lingchuan stretched out his hand and handed him a few dark, muddy things:
"I dug some bamboo shoots to make soup."
The freshness from the ground is no better than bamboo shoots, and the freshness from the river is no more than fish. How can a spring picnic be without this delicious food?
"We threw bait four times, but it seems we can't catch any fish!" Xiaopang carefully picked up the bamboo shoots and forgot all about his complaints. "Also, Master Liu and the others came back and picked up a lot of fungi. Fortunately, fortunately we
There are a lot of fish in the basket."
Sun Fuling stepped forward and led Xiaopang towards the stream: "Okay, let's go back and cook."
She brushed away her hair from her temples and glared at He Lingchuan.
Tacitly.
After leaving the bamboo forest, the noise was loud.
He Lingchuan saw about fifty figures half a man tall by the stream and couldn't help but press his eyebrows.
More than fifty mythical beasts, wow.
The other two masters led the army of picking wild vegetables back, and now the adults were busy processing the delicacies picked by the children.
It's just wild vegetables, there are a lot of poisonous mushrooms mixed in with the fungi.
The masters found the toadstools, explained the dangers and identification methods, and then circulated them to the children.
Learning through fun is one of the purposes of spring outings.
Taking advantage of this time, the kitchen workers of Yuheng Academy began to collect fresh seafood and prepare vegetables for soup.
The children caught a lot of small white strips using the temporary low embankment. They scraped off the scales and washed them, then wrapped them in batter and put them in the frying pan.
There were also several large fish, which were fried and cooked together with clams, sweet bamboo shoots and mushrooms. The resulting soup was milky-white in color and fragrant.
As for the shrimps and crabs, they were put into the pot and simmered with mustard greens.
The cooks did not expect that the children would gain so much. They had prepared a lot of ingredients for hot dishes and were very busy at this time.
He Lingchuan did not dare to join the group of children. It happened that two masters had just caught four or five bamboo rats, so he simply took out his dagger and went to kill them.
The commander-in-chief of Yuheng City personally helped them, and the kitchen workers all nodded and bowed to him and were polite.
Only one person was staring directly at him while washing the fish. The other kitchen workers poked her arm and whispered: "Wang Ma, don't stare at the Commander-in-Chief like that, it's rude!"
It was a good thing that they didn't remind her. As soon as she said this, Wang Ma dropped the bucket and came over. Her companion tried to grab her, but she threw him away.
Then, she stood in front of He Lingchuan: "Commander He!"
She is less than fifty, very thin, her figure is already a bit hunched, and she is not much taller when standing than when He Lingchuan is sitting.
"Wang Ma?"
Wang Ma was stunned for a moment when he revealed her identity. She didn't know that He Lingchuan had a very good ear and could listen closely to the discussions of the kitchen workers.
But she calmed down and swallowed: "Can I ask you something?"
He Lingchuan saw that she mustered up the courage to come over, so he said gently: "Please tell me."
"How long do you want to wait before you take Takikawa down?"
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "Why does Wang Ma ask this?"
"My eldest son was a city army patrolman, but he was ambushed by water bandits on the Longchuan Trade Road last year and disappeared." Wang Ma's face was rough and she looked expressionless, "Later, you recruited the Longchuan water bandits and gave them
a lot of money."
These two sentences together represent dissatisfaction. He Lingchuan stood up immediately: "That's called road tax. When they collect it, they also have to maintain security on the trade routes. Yuheng City recruits them because they don't want to have unnecessary battles or more
Good soldiers died in the battle to suppress bandits."
After years of fighting, the people of Panlong City and Yuheng City paid a huge price.
In the words of General Nan Ke, who doesn’t have warriors who died in battle?
Wang Ma didn't understand this very well, but she knew: "I heard that there are no obstacles in Longchuan. Why don't you take down the puppet troops quickly?"
There is emotion in this sentence.
"There are no obstacles in Takikawa? Who did you listen to?"
"This..." Wang Ma was stuck, "This is the rumor in the city! They say that we can capture the water bandits a long time ago."
He Lingchuan smiled: "Find the person who said this and let's confront him face to face. I really want to know what kind of strategic plan he has to make such a prediction."
Of course, Wang Ma couldn't find this person. She decided not to argue with He Lingchuan about this, and returned to the original point of the question: "Then when are you going to attack Longchuan?"
"Why is Queen Mother so anxious?"
"My eldest son was killed by the Xiqiao puppet army. Now my younger son is clamoring all day long to join the army and avenge his brother." Wang Ma said with a long face, "I don't want him to join the army anymore! I just want to ask the commander-in-chief,
When will the murderer of my son be made to pay the price?"
"The puppet army is the biggest obstacle. There are several forces behind them, each of which is more powerful than Yuheng City. Without the puppet army, Longchuan would have been captured by us last year." He Lingchuan said gently, "Deal with them.
, I would rather spend more time and money, and I hope to sacrifice less lives. Every patrol soldier is precious to Yuheng City. Isn’t there an old saying in Yuheng City, I would rather die with money.
, and don’t want people to die.”
To treat a commoner like Wang Ma, he couldn't talk about strategies or policies, it was too macroscopic. He could only lower his perspective and say something that she could best understand.
These last two sentences made Wang Ma speechless for a moment.
She was still confused, but she didn't know what to say.
The kitchen worker behind came forward and dragged her back: "I'm sorry, Commander, she just wants to talk nonsense."
He Lingchuan said seriously: "Wang Ma, there is no need to worry, your son's revenge will be avenged soon."
Wang Ma didn't say a word and left with the others.
While others were still wondering how fast "quick" was, the commander had already grabbed the fat bamboo rat and chopped off its head with a knife.
In the past six months, the voices of dissatisfaction with him in Yuheng City have become louder and louder, saying that he uses people's money to support water bandits and that he is slowing down work and sacrificing performance.
He Lingchuan's method of controlling banditry in Longchuan was to take a long time and produce slow results, but the sequelae and losses would be small. The power of the system should be used to squeeze the Xiliang puppet troops out of Longchuan.
This kind of gentle approach was rarely used in Panlong City in the past, and the military and civilians criticized it a lot.
The propaganda work was still not done well, He Lingchuan sighed to the sky.
However, it's almost time to close the net.
He returned the slaughtered bamboo rats to the kitchen workers and found that the river fish had also been processed and were ready to be cooked. The river grouper he and Master Sun had caught was also among them.
He was worried, so he went to pick out the rock grouper and saw that there were indeed seeds in his belly.
Fish roe is usually a good thing, and the chef who washes and peels it will remove the fish internal organs and leave the fish roe behind.
"We can't keep this. The roe of the creek grouper is poisonous."
When Wang Ma heard this, she quickly came over and dug out six or seven more stream groupers in the fish pile. Upon inspection, she found that half of them had seeds.
Remove the seeds quickly.
Soon after, the hot dishes were ready and served.
He Lingchuan worked for a long time and finally had food.
As soon as he squeezed in and sat down next to Master Sun, he picked up a small fried fish and threw it into his mouth, when the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.
Another ride ran through the peach forest, stepping on the fallen flowers and heading straight to the stream.
This is how He Lingchuan came just now. Master Sun pointed at his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It seems that you have no time to spare in the afternoon."
The person who came was a messenger from the City Health Department. He Lingchuan knew that there was an urgent military situation as soon as he saw his posture.
