Shen Lie lowered his head outside the room of the two girls from Pingyao Escort Agency.
Pacing.
Thinking deeply.
Shen Lie quickly walked into his bedroom, asked for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, sat at the table, raised the wolf hair, and wrote a series of messy handwriting.
"My beloved wife, I see words like face..."
At this moment, Shen Lie seemed to have thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say to his beloved wife and concubine who were far away in the capital, but his thoughts were extremely messy and he had no words to say.
It took a long time to write hurriedly, briefly explaining the cause and effect of the matter, handing over the family property to my beloved wife and concubine, making some arrangements for the funeral, and then hastily signed the payment.
He sealed the letter, walked out of the bedroom, and handed it to Li Chaohua.
Shen Liecai warned: "If Brother Li and his family can escape this disaster and see my wife, tell me... Shen Lie did his best."
Say no more.
It only adds to the sadness.
And then.
Shen Lie hugged his fists towards Li Chaohua and smiled to himself: "Brother Li, after meeting his wife, can take Shen's token to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, and ask for an audience with General Secretary Zhang... Remember, remember."
He had already made arrangements in the letter. As long as the people from the Pingyao Escort Bureau met Zhang Jianxiu with the token, there would be great benefits, and there would inevitably be glory and wealth.
At least he can secure the position of an imperial merchant in the Pingyao Escort Bureau.
This way.
Shen Lie can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace of the two ladies from the Pingyao Escort Agency.
After whispering, the funeral arrangements were made, and Li Chaohua took several bodyguards to bring the two seriously injured girls into the cellar.
He also ordered people to cover up the entrance to the cellar.
Shen Lie was relieved and walked towards the dangerous village wall in the night with his musket and wounds all over his body.
The steps are hurried.
again.
The exhausted Shen Lie sat down with his back against the wall of the village, looking at Ma Lin who was running back and forth setting up defenses, and Dao Shisan who was smoking a pipe.
Suddenly I became interested.
Shen Lie snatched Dao Shisan's pipe and pot away.
"Have a bite."
A puff of tobacco.
Shen Lie, who had never smoked, choked and coughed, with tears and runny nose coming down.
It's too spicy.
It's too choking.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, sir?"
Dao Shisan was anxious, and snatched back the tobacco bag and pot, and while puffing out smoke, he persuaded: "This tobacco is too strong, and you are still injured... Please take care of yourself."
Shen Lie wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Stingy."
As for what?
Narrowing his eyes, Shen Lie felt the burning in his throat and couldn't help but murmured: "Is all the tobacco produced in the north of Ming Dynasty so spicy?"
Dao Shisan smoked his pipe and nodded: "Well, what you said is true...the tobacco in Yunnan and Guizhou is extremely fragrant, but it's too far away...it's so precious!"
It seems that he cannot afford to consume the good tobacco produced in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Shen Lie smiled slightly.
"I know."
There was silence for a moment.
Shen Lie couldn't help but think about it, and said with a smile: "If the imperial court is willing to spend ten years to dispatch elite soldiers and generals, capable ministers and officials to organize the world's logistics... The world's bodyguards and post stations will be organized, and then the roads in each province will be well organized. After some repairs, I think... it will not be difficult to transport the finest tobacco from Yunnan and Guizhou to the capital."
Dao Sanshi didn't seem to understand, but he just responded casually: "That's what my lord said."
He is a martial artist who has been traveling in Xuanda all year round. He is illiterate and has never attended a private school. Naturally, he does not understand the profound truth contained in it.
only.
He felt that what Mr. Senhu said sounded right.
Shen Lie thought about it again and murmured: "Then have you tasted Luzon's shredded tobacco?"
Luzon’s big cigar!
World renowned premium tobacco.
But I don’t know why Shen Lie’s thoughts are particularly active right now during the war, and he continues: “There are also shredded tobacco from South America…”
This time.
Dao Shisan, however, looked confused. He couldn't help but touch his head and said curiously: "I don't know, sir. Please clarify, what is the realm of Luzon?"
And South America...
Never heard of it.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said slowly: "Luzon is the land of Nanyang. From Xuanfu, we go south, past Hejianfu, across the Central Plains, and then across the Yangtze River... When we get to Guangzhoufu, it's not far from the sea. "
Dao Shisan was speechless.
a long time.
The reckless man born in Xuanfu nodded and agreed: "That's really a long way from the nose."
Shen Lie did not laugh at him, but nodded extremely seriously: "It's very far."
Dao Shisan nodded again, showing an honest smile and said: "Wherever the adults go, the villain will go, and the villain will sell his life to the adults."
Shen Lie smiled slightly again, saying nothing.
When saying this.
The sky is slightly bright.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of people shouting and horses neighing. In the uproar, the soldiers lying undressed on the wall of the village stood up one after another, and the crowd became excited.
Shen Lie also shut his mouth and said no more...
Instead, he hid behind the shooting hole and took out his telescope to observe carefully. He saw some sneaky figures five or six miles away, dragging several cannons forward with oxen and horses.
In the clear field of vision, the Ming army uniforms worn by the gunners were turned backwards. Shen Lie smiled coldly, it seemed that he was too lazy to act.
Even the car camp and artillery camp came up.
Governor, Commander-in-Chief, have you exposed your flaws?
As the cannons slowly advanced, the crowd was excited and curses were heard on the walls, and the weather-beaten faces were filled with anger.
At this time, even a pig knew that everyone was beaten by friendly forces.
"Straight bitch!"
"Into your grandma!"
Amid curses.
Whether it was Ma Lin's private soldiers, Dongchang's fans, or even the bodyguards of the Pingyao Bodyguard Bureau, they were all filled with indignation.
After a victorious battle, everyone was wounded all over the body. They did not die in the hands of the Tatars, but died under their own cannons.
At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with unwillingness, injustice and deep anger.
Shen Lie lowered his head silently and began to check the musket in his hand. His heart was as bright as a mirror. If not, how would the prosperous Ming Dynasty collapse?
"Thirteen!"
Shen Lie crouched behind the strong village wall, gritted his teeth and said: "Put on armor... and charge into the formation!"
The enemy soldiers cannot be allowed to push the cannon up.
Dao Shisan responded nonchalantly: "Okay!"
The two hurriedly walked down from the wall of the village and discussed with Marin. There was nothing to say at this time, so let's choose the front and charge into the battle.
We have to find a way to destroy it before the cannon comes up.
Not long after.
More than a hundred cavalry led by Shen Lie and Dao Shisan put on armor, picked up muskets and sabers, and with the sound of armor, they stood ready behind the strong village gate.
In danger of war.
Ma Lin was about to get on his horse, but was stopped by Shen Lie.
"You rest."
Smiling at Ma Lin, Shen Lie dissuaded him and said, "You are the owner of the village and you are responsible for guarding the village. You must not go on this trip."
If you die in battle, everything will be over.
Ma Lin's face darkened and he said worriedly: "But Brother Shen's injury..."
