Chapter 89 My mother is a chivalrous woman with a righteous heart (11)
"What are you talking about? Who destroyed Xingcheng?"
Wei Huai's furious roar came from the room.
There was a hint of trembling in Zhang Kang's voice: "Lai Chenrong, general, it was Lai Chenrong who attacked us while you were away."
Maybe he heard Wei Huai's voice, and Mrs. Wei's cry came from next door: "Husband, are you husband?"
At this moment, how can Wei Huai still care about the love between his children?
He covered his churning chest and vomited out a mouthful of blood. It was over, he was completely over.
When he knew it was the peripheral vision that destroyed the city, Wei Huai was still in a relaxed mood.
Although there was some unpleasantness between him and Yu Guang.
But he still understands this daughter's temperament.
As long as he and Yu You go to talk to Yu Guang at the same time, Yu Guang will definitely give up Xingcheng.
When the time comes, all he needs to do is force his daughter to go to Beijing, and he can naturally keep his family safe.
Or, as long as he recruits troops quickly enough, no one will notice that he is disadvantageous in defending the city.
But now it's better. Lai Chenrong has captured Xingcheng. The matter can no longer be concealed. Xingcheng will not come back. How will he explain to His Majesty?
What should we do in the future?
Zhang Kang was still covering his face and crying bitterly: "General, what should we do in the future?"
If the city is gone, Your Majesty will not let them go.
Wei Huai clutched his chest and swayed slightly. He was about to fall to the ground, but Zhang Kang held him up: "General!"
The next second, Wei Huai pulled out the knife from Zhang Kang's waist and inserted it directly into Zhang Kang's heart.
Zhang Kang couldn't believe this sudden change. He scratched Wei Huai's shoulder twice, and finally slowly fell to the ground.
Blood overflowed from his mouth and nose, but his eyes were wide open, as if he was unwilling to die like this.
Wei Huai pulled out the knife and groaned while covering the painful wound.
He had seen it, and there was only Divine Doctor Xu, two apprentices, and a medicine boy in this room.
It's easy to hide the news that he is still alive, but...
Wei Huai's attention fell on Mrs. Wei next door, who was still crying for her husband.
Madam's legs will no longer be able to walk, and living will definitely be more uncomfortable than death.
Wei Huai turned the knife in his hand, and the light of the knife reflected on his face, looking extremely gloomy.
After a while, a tear fell on the sword: "Madam, I love you so much, how can I bear to let you suffer such pain."
There was a fire at the house of Dr. Xu, who burned to death not only Dr. Xu, but also the couple who mysteriously came to seek medical treatment during the day.
No one knows the last one. I only heard that two people dressed as soldiers came to seek medical treatment last night.
Early this morning, someone saw one of the soldiers leaving the city in a hurry, saying that he was ordered to go out to do something.
Thinking of what happened in Xingcheng, the soldiers guarding the city did not stop him and just let him go.
It’s just that no one knows what happened to Dr. Xu’s family anymore.
As soon as he got up from the corner of his eye, he saw a scarred face stretched out in front of him.
His eyes widened slightly from the corner of his eye, and he quickly recognized that the owner of this face was Zhu Suhua: "Your look is quite unique."
The skin and flesh are rolled and slightly raised. It must have been scratched with a chisel, and it is now somewhat inflamed.
Zhu Suhua said with a straight face: "I am a dishonest person, and this is just right now."
Leaning on the bedside with his peripheral vision, he looked at Zhu Suhua with a smile: "Are you going to say that you want to spend the rest of your life with the Ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern forever?"
Xu Shi looked away, and Zhu Suhua no longer had any taboos about Yu Guang: "If I can't be with you, I can't stop eating meat."
From now on, between men and fish, she will never choose the former.
Looking at Zhu Suhua's determined look, the smile at the corner of Yu Guang's mouth became thicker: "This scar is not good-looking, it's better to go back and get rid of it."
Zhu Suhua did not reply, but took the clothes that Yu Guang had made overnight from the hand of the maid on the side: "Lai Chenrong made several city lord uniforms before, and I took someone to modify them last night. You can wear them first, and then go back."
We will make a few more women’s sets for you.”
Although it was a troubled time, this was the first time she saw the female city lord.
I'm afraid the style and pattern of this dress will need to be repainted.
Seeing Zhu Suhua help herself get dressed seriously, the smile on Yu Guang's face became more genuine: "I'll go back and make my sleeves longer, I'm still growing taller."
Zhu Suhua hissed quietly: She always forgets that the person in front of her is still a child.
Yu Guang chatted with Zhu Suhua while being dressed by Zhu Suhua.
Suddenly, she changed the subject: "How many wealthy households are there in the city?"
Zhu Suhua's expression was stunned, and then she quickly replied: "There are more than 800 households in the city, and there are 48 villages outside the city. The war is now in chaos, and there are not many people farming.
When winter comes, villagers will go into the mountains to take shelter.”
Seeing Zhu Suhua's voice paused, Yu Guang asked in time: "What are you avoiding?"
Zhu Suhua's tone increased slightly: "Robbing for food, what will so many soldiers eat if we don't grab food!"
Yancheng is not as good as this kid thought.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhu Suhua with a smile. This man seemed very happy.
Zhu Suhua obviously found himself a little excited, and immediately suppressed his emotions: "There have been many battles in recent years, and no one knows who will own this city next. The first thing every city lord who enters the city does is to exploit the rich households in the city.
If the land is scraped too much, the wealthy households will not be able to do business and will have no choice but to wait for death. They will be stripped of their oil and water, and they will only live by holding on to the land."
Seeing that Zhu Suhua was speaking eloquently, Yu Guang nodded with a smile: "Then what!"
After helping Yu Guang get dressed, Zhu Suhua pressed Yu Guang on the stool and combed her hair: "Then if there is no money, we will ask for food and grass, and if there is no food and grass, we will arrest people. In this Yancheng city, no one dares to call himself rich anymore.
"
This kid's hair is really hard, so he needs to take good care of it later.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at Zhu Suhua from the bronze mirror with a smile: "How many blacksmith shops are there in the city?"
Zhu Suhua also didn't expect that Yu Guang would suddenly change the subject: "I remember it was four rooms, um, no, it should be five."
Yu Guang nodded: "How many shops on the street are owned by the city lord's mansion."
Zhu Suhua looked at Yu Guang with a puzzled face, wondering what Yu Guang meant by asking this.
But he still answered responsibly: "The current situation is not good, and there are basically no shops. There are still 17 vacant shops under the name of the City Lord's Mansion, and there are several hectares of vacant sandy land."
The curvature of Yu Guang's mouth gradually widened: "Are they close to each other?"
Zhu Suhua didn't understand what Yu Guang meant, so she responded first: "Next to each other!"
Then he looked at Yu Guang alertly: "What do you want to do? You can't make money by opening a shop now."
Yu Guang looked at Zhu Suhua with a smile: "Why can't you make money?"
Zhu Suhua frowned slightly: "These are troubled times, with wars and chaos everywhere. If you only rely on how many people in the city can buy, you will only waste your time in the end."
Yu Guang's smile became gentler: "Don't worry, I never do money-losing business."
As long as the project is chosen well, one can win votes even in troubled times.
