The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Liu Ziqiu asked strangely, "Xiu'er, what are you doing so late?"

Gao Xiu'er blushed, and muttered: "No, it's nothing. Sir, you've been busy all day, I, let me wash your feet for you."

"Wash your feet? Hehe, that's good." Liu Ziqiu took advantage of Gao Xiu'er's time to get up, and snatched the things she hid behind, but it turned out to be half-made children's clothes. He couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Xiu'er, Whose family is this made for? It seems that there is no family in the village that has a baby."

Gao Xiu'er wanted to bury her head between her legs, her voice was softer than a mosquito: "I can't help outside, so, just do some needlework..."

Due to time constraints, almost all men, women and children in the village participated in this huge project.Gao Xiu'er has been living in Changshan Village for half a year, and she can do all kinds of work, not because she was spoiled and spoiled at home, so of course she wants to go out to help.It's just that she has suddenly become beautiful now, like a fairy, and the villagers are not willing to let her do a little work.If it's messed up, it's okay?

Not only that, but those old women were also very gossip: "Xiu'er, why hasn't your stomach moved yet?"

"Xiu'er, don't be afraid. I think your butt is round and big. It must be easy to give birth to, and you are destined to be a boy."

Someone beside him whispered: "You see Xiu'er walking, it's clear that she hasn't consummated the room yet."

"Hehe, can you see that too?"

"Xiu'er, you are recovering from your illness now, this handsome man must be..."

Although these old ladies had no malicious intentions, they were open-minded. Gao Xiuer was ashamed and ashamed when she heard it, and finally couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly slipped back to the yard.More importantly, these words touched her heart disease.I don't know what Liu Ziqiu means, but she always says that she is too young, but in fact, she is not young anymore.

The yard was empty.Although the villagers didn't let Gao Xiu'er work, they didn't treat Xiangcao and the two newly bought Korean maidservants so well, and they were also busy outside.

Anyway, she was idle, and when she was bored, Gao Xiuer accidentally learned how to make children's clothes, but was caught by Liu Ziqiu.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Liu Ziqiu suddenly understood, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiu'er, I will marry you when the matter of the salt farm is settled!"

Gao Xiu'er lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, faltering and hawing, not knowing what to say.

But Liu Ziqiu said again: "However, we can't be in a hurry to have a child."

"Why?" Gao Xiu'er suddenly raised her head, suddenly ashamed, she lowered her head quickly.

"This, this." Liu Ziqiu found that he couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he could only say, "I'll tell you later."

However, Gao Xiuer's heart was already sweet to get a clear promise from Liu Ziqiu.

……

Entering the winter moon, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River has also begun to cool down.The villagers were full of enthusiasm, and they got up very early, gathered in front of the foundation of the school in the center of the village, and prepared to start a new day of work.Liu Ziqiu made adjustments.

"Third Aunt, Uncle Li, you take twenty people and go to the county to file a complaint with the yamen, saying that the Yang family did not keep their promises, please ask the government to uphold justice."

"Shuanzi, you continue to be in charge of keeping an eye on Yang Heihu's tail."

"Er Zhuang, there is no need to cut bamboo today. Each household will smoke a small one and start practicing."

"The rest of the people follow Dapeng and finish yesterday's work."

Xiao Dapeng said suddenly: "Brother, I also want to participate in the drill!"

Liu Ziqiu said in a deep voice, "Obey orders!"

The drills were carried out on the wasteland outside the village.There are 78 households in the village, including Liu Ziqiu. Except for a few households that cannot get a ding, each household has a ding, forming a team of 72 people.

Liu Ziqiu personally served as the instructor, and took everyone to a cross-country run first.It takes more than ten miles to go back and forth from the entrance of the village to the riverside.The villagers have been engaged in various kinds of labor for a long time, and their endurance is excellent, but they have never experienced such a long-distance running.After the trip, many people were panting and slumped on the ground, and some even vomited profusely.

Liu Ziqiu picked up a bamboo stick, beat the villagers lying on the ground hard, and shouted: "Get up! Get up! No one is allowed to lie down. Go, walk around twice!"

After a quarter of an hour, the villagers who participated in the drill finally recovered.Liu Ziqiu raised his voice again and shouted: "Assemble! Assemble! Line up, line up!"

It was not easy for untrained villagers to line up well, and after a long time of tossing, they finally looked crooked.

"Report the number!" "One, two, three... seventy, 71."

Under Liu Ziqiu's repeated corrections, the villagers finally learned to line up and count, only to find that one person was lost.

"Let's take a look, who is not here!"

"Oh, Er Zhuang, why isn't Er Zhuang here?"

Er Zhuang is also surnamed Xiao. Of course, no one can remember what his original surname was. This Xiao surname was given to his father by the Xiao family.Because he is relatively strong, Liu Ziqiu originally planned to make him the captain of the village guard, but unexpectedly he ran away.

Liu Ziqiu said angrily, "Look! No matter where he is hiding, find him for me!"

"No, there's no need to look for it." Er Zhuang ran over out of breath, "I, I'm here. I, I really can't run anymore."

Liu Ziqiu saw that Er Zhuang's face was pale, he was covered in sweat, and he was indeed tired.The surrounding villagers have burst into laughter.Liu Ziqiu said: "Everyone, stop laughing! Sweat more in normal times, and bleed less in wartime! Er Zhuang is worthy of admiration for being able to persevere, and everyone should cheer for him!"

The villagers shouted in unison, and Er Zhuang was excited, and suddenly quickened his pace, and finally took the last thirty steps.

Liu Ziqiu doesn't know how the army of this era trains and fights. He can only use what he has learned in the army to train them in formation and physical fitness.As for the eighteen martial arts, that's for the future, because there are many things that Liu Ziqiu himself doesn't know.

At noon, the third aunt and the others who had been sent to the city to complain came back.As soon as they entered the village, the third aunt scolded: "The dog officer is too disgraceful. He refused to accept our case. If we didn't have so many people, he would have thrown us into prison."

Liu Ziqiu waved his hands and said, "Everyone has worked hard, I knew this would happen."

Uncle Li said dissatisfiedly: "Da Niu, don't you let us make a trip for nothing? With this skill, we can do a lot of work at home."

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "If you were the Yang family, would you believe that we just swallowed our anger like this? This is for the Yang family to see, the more violent it is, the more realistic it will be."

……

Shuanzi waited in the east gate of Yanguan County until the sun was westward, and finally saw Yang Heihu riding past with four entourages.Horses are not allowed in the city, so Yang Heihu had to lead the horse slowly, but it made it easier for Shuanzi to follow him.Shuanzi put on another make-up today, but Yang Heihu didn't pay attention. He followed Yang Heihu around two streets and saw Yang Heihu enter a house from afar.

The house looked ordinary and inconspicuous.Shuanzi looked around and found that Ah Fu and Ah Gui were also nearby.The three of them winked at each other and were about to leave when they saw the side door of the house opened again, and two servants escorted a carriage and went west.

Shuanzi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed.But I saw the carriage go straight out of the west gate and drive away.It's a pity that Shuanzi and the three of them don't have any chariots and horses, so they can't catch up if they want to.

"Out of the city to the west? What are you doing to the west?" Liu Ziqiu pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Shuanzi, you can see clearly, the guard next to him is really Yang Heihu?"

Shuan Zi gritted his teeth and said, "Although he has changed into the clothes of an ordinary domestic slave, I can recognize him even if he is burned to ashes!"

"Then do you know when they returned to the city?"

"This... We were worried that the city gate would be closed and we would not be able to get out, so we didn't wait there, and we don't know if they have returned to the city."

Liu Ziqiu asked again: "Then have you looked around to see how big the house Yang Heihu entered is and how many people it can accommodate?"

Shutter shook his head.

Liu Ziqiu said earnestly: "Shuanzi, stalking is not an easy task. You have to be patient, use your brain, and get a clear understanding of the surrounding situation. You go again tomorrow, and I'll wait for news of your success."

The next day, Shuan Zi, Ah Fu, and Ah Gui came back very late, but the news they brought was much more detailed: "Yang Heihu still went into that house, and after a while he changed into the clothes of ordinary servants to protect him." The carriage headed west. Ah Fu sneaked into the house quietly, and found that there were only two servants living there, and no third person was there. Moreover, the house was very small, and it could only accommodate two or three people at most... "

Liu Ziqiu interrupted Shuanzi and asked, "Have you ever met the two servants who stayed in the house?"

Ah Fu replied: "I have seen it, it is the entourage following Yang Heihu."

Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Continue."

Agui said: "The two of them stared at the courtyard, and I was alone in the carriage, and sure enough, I saw them go out of the west gate again. Later, the three of us guarded outside the west gate until the city gate was closed, but we didn't see them come back. "

Liu Ziqiu stood up, took a few steps back and forth in the room, and suddenly realized: "I understand. The house in the city is just a cover. The Yang family's foothold in Yanguan is not in the city at all, it should be somewhere in the west of the city." !"

Shuanzi excitedly said: "Brother Big Niu, let's drive the carriage again tomorrow and wait for him outside the west gate!"

"No need. Yang Jishan is a noble son, and he has been in Yanguan for so long, so he must live in a more luxurious place." Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Ah Fu, the four of you go together tomorrow to see if there is anything in the west of the city. A large manor shouldn’t be too far away, let’s limit it to thirty miles. Remember, be careful when you move, and don’t disturb the people inside!”

On the afternoon of the third day, the defense works in the village were basically completed.

A thick layer of river mud was pasted on the outside of the fence. The river mud was mixed with glutinous rice juice and became very strong.In fact, the fence has already been set up very firmly. The reason for this is to prevent others from using fire attacks.

The watchtowers at the four corners have been erected, and villagers watch from them day and night, changing every hour.Gongs, flags and lanterns are also prepared on the watchtower, which can play the role of command and warning no matter day or night.

The primary school in the village was a little slower, because Liu Ziqiu planned to build it stronger.Now only the foundation has been dug, the land has been compacted, and the timber has been prepared, but the bricks and tiles have not yet been bought.

However, Liu Ziqiu was very satisfied with this progress.He announced a half-day holiday for the villagers.The villagers cheered, especially those who participated in the drill.Suddenly, the third aunt shouted loudly: "Daniu, Daniel, sir is here!"
