    This man with the iron sword is a knight-errant, and the people in the tea shed have long seen it, so some people put down their rolled-up sleeves.

    ¡°These rangers take it upon themselves to cause trouble, and they have strange thoughts in their minds, and they cannot explain the truth or worldly affairs to them.

    It¡¯s really strange that he would take the initiative to recognize his master. The people were immediately curious. Let¡¯s not ask about Wu Ya¡¯er for the moment, but first ask his wife, Mrs. Wu.

    "What kind of person is he?"

    "Why did she give you the treasure?"

    "Doesn't she have any guards?"

    Countless questions rang out in the tea shed.

    This kind of thing does not happen in one place. In an unknown roadside tea shed, in a bustling restaurant in a big town, or under a bridge sheltering from the wind and snow in a small town, there is a ranger who spends a lot of money to treat everyone in the restaurant to drink, and there is a ranger who competes with others.  Sword fights and boxing show off one's skills, and a ranger who has spent all his money misses the porridge vat in Dou County that works day and night, like a wine vat that can water the whole body with spring water.

    In the cold wind of February, the road where the emperor's calamity had just been spread was not sparsely populated, but more people were walking on it.

    There were refugees with families, and there were rangers wearing straw sandals and carrying iron swords on their backs. Their expressions were either doubtful or yearning, and they were leaving in one direction from all directions.

    Dou County has returned to its previous bustle, and there are almost no traces of the war. Wooden frames have been erected outside the large wall to check the people coming in and out. There are no more galloping soldiers and horses on the flat ground inside the wall. Instead, there are  It was a long shed set up by merchants, with many children running around and making noise, mixed with the sounds of family members gathering nearby calling for food.

    There was a burst of excitement in the direction of the city gate.

    "Mrs. Wu is coming out."

    Mrs. Wu¡¯s carriage was walking among the crowd. Although there were many people, it did not block the way forward. People or businessmen on both sides greeted each other enthusiastically, until someone jumped out and stopped the carriage.

    "Young madam, I have a treasure to offer you."

    This is a short and thin old man with a gray beard and hair. The wind and frost from the journey have not faded from his face. He is wearing rags. He does not look like a businessman.

    Fang Er, who was sitting in front of the car and holding a black umbrella, looked at him.

    The old man did not rush over again. He reached out and took out a box from his rags, opened it with a snap, and a handful of silk flowers appeared in the sight of the curious people around him.

    It was not a gold or silver treasure, but a silk flower with poor material and ugly appearance. Everyone booed.

    ¡°You took it by mistake, you took it by mistake.¡± The old man shouted, he closed the box in a panic, and then opened it with a snap.

    People around him exclaimed. Instead of seeing a treasure, a fat bird flew up from the box. The bird flew away. The box was empty, and the silk flowers just now were no longer visible.

    The old man snapped the box shut again: "I took it by mistake again."

    The people around finally understood that he was not going to present any rare treasures, but to show off his craftsmanship. Li Minglou in the car also watched with interest. Under everyone's gaze, the old man took out the box one after another.  A rabbit was brought out, a hat, and even a bowl

    He just stood there, in front of everyone, and the only movement of his hands was to open and close the box. The box was like a cornucopia in his hand. Of course, the treasures gathered were very shabby. No one cared whether the treasures were broken or tattered.  The onlookers exclaimed from time to time.

    The old man took out a bowl from the box and leaned over to salute.

    This action confirmed the people¡¯s speculation that this was a juggler begging for food.

    There was a low laughter from a woman in the car, and then Fang Er, who was driving the car, called an entourage: "Take him there and give him jewelry as a token of respect."

    The people were in an uproar, envious and dissatisfied. The old man didn't care about the noise around him and excitedly leaned over to salute.

    Li Minglou¡¯s carriage continued to move forward, and the things here dispersed with the commotion. Everyone knew that Mrs. Wu would recruit knights as guards, but they did not expect that she would also accept jugglers.

    "A ranger can be a guard if he has the skills, but what can a juggler do?"  Daily jokes to relieve boredom?  Is this also called useful?  No matter what everyone said, in fact Mrs. Wu did take away the juggler, and more people started to think that as long as they had extraordinary abilities, whether it was kung fu or something else, they could become the master of Wu.  Madam, I'm looking for a future here.

    "There have been a lot more people defecting to us recently." Yuanji looked through the records, "And they're not begging for food, they're coming straight to the eldest lady."

    Zhongwu interjected from the side: "I asked, it was the people like You Xia'er who recruited her. People like Xiang Qiubeard really went everywhere to promote the reputation of the eldest lady."

      Those rangers went to do this, but Xiang Qiubeard did not. Li Minglou didn¡¯t mind everyone¡¯s misunderstanding. He didn¡¯t know if Xiang Qiubeard had done anything. He just walked away without asking anything. Maybe he relied on his own inquiries to find out.  More suitable for assassination.

    "How is Jiannan Road? Is there any new news?" Li Minglou asked pretending to be casual.

    "There's no new news, it's all good." Yuanji said.

    Li Minglou said oh.

    "The eldest son asked if he wanted to go back to Jiannan Road." Yuanji asked.

    Li Mingyu came to Beijing on orders before, but now the emperor must not be in the mood to meet him, not to mention that the situation in Beijing is still very tense.

    Li Minglou shook his head: "No need to go back, just wait there."

    Waiting In the past, Yuanji didn't quite understand what the lady was waiting for, but now he knows. Waiting for Ankang Mountain to rebel, waiting for troubled times to come.

    The situation in the capital is like a turbulent time, but the sudden rise of Wu Ya'er has stabilized the capital. Will Ankang Mountain still rebel?

    Thinking of Wu Ya'er, Yuan Ji said: "Our people have arrived in the capital, and there is no new news coming back yet."

    Wu Ya'er was already in the capital. As his wife, he had to send someone to meet her. Yuanji carefully selected a team of people to go to the capital as Mrs. Wu's entourage.

    This is a very risky thing.

    "Let them pay attention to their safety." Li Minglou said, "Wu Ya'er is a vicious person."

    The impression I heard in that life was that Wu Ya'er was a moody and ruthless person who could turn against the emperor at any time.

    "If there is danger, declare our true identity."

    There are great benefits to pretending to be Wu Ya'er's wife, but you can't put yourself in danger for this benefit, especially if you can't let Jiannan Road and Zhenwu Army become enemies.

    Yuanji and Zhongwu responded, and the voice of the registrar came from outside: "Young Madam, Young Madam."

    Jin Jue lifted the door curtain and welcomed the Lord Registrar in.

    "The government has just issued a few documents, allowing us to take the refugees into the population of Dou County, and also gave us farm tools, cattle and sheep and other rewards." The master bookkeeper smiled happily and grabbed a few documents, "Young lady, take a look.  , ah, there have been a lot of people recently, and we can no longer live in the outer city. We have to prepare to expand the city, and spring plowing is coming soon, so we need to discuss how to divide the wasteland."

    "Then we really need to plan carefully." Li Minglou said with a smile, "If there is land to cultivate, the refugees will really become Dou County residents."

    Yuanji and Zhongwu retreated, not disturbing the old man and the young man behind them to discuss people's livelihood.

    February is cold in spring, but spring is here after all. In the garden of the Xiang family in Taiyuan Prefecture, the women who come and go are much more colorfully dressed. Xiang Nan stops at the door and is a little surprised that there are so many female guests at home.  Unexpectedly, after thinking about it, I turned around and left. Before I had gone far, I heard a female voice calling out from behind me.

    He turned his head and saw Li Mingqi running towards him in a pink jacket and pleated skirt.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
