Chapter 217 Mountain of Swords and Sea of ​​Fire

Yu Cong led 300 elite soldiers on the journey day and night, half a month later, he met Han Ji in a small county town on the border of the two provinces. Here, not far from Mount Maro.

Han Ji was overjoyed to see Yu Cong. The 200,000 shi of grain he escorted this time was seized by the bandits in Maro Mountain. The bandits on Maro Mountain said that they would pay tolls, 200,000 shi and 2,000 taels of silver, and they would not let them pass unless they paid the tolls. If the Wu family escorted food and grass in the usual way, they would definitely have given it. But Han Ji has concerns. He is a member of the Yun family, and what he represents is the face of the Yun family. If the toll is paid, it means that the general of his family has compromised with the bandits. Han Ji is not a fool who just left the house. He knows that if this matter goes out like a boat, then their general will lose face. Therefore, he did not compromise, but immediately sent someone to inform Yucheng Xiang Yunqing and Yuxi to make up his mind.

After listening to Han Ji's words, Yu Cong sneered, and said, "You dare to charge us tolls, you are so brave!" It's a pity that they didn't bring many people with them this time, otherwise they would be like Feng Dajun, leading soldiers and generals directly. The bandits were wiped out.

Han Ji said: "General, these bandits are extremely vicious, we should not be hostile to them." Han Ji thought far ahead, all the things purchased from Jiangnan had to pass through Maro Mountain, if they turned against them, they would only suffer. After all, no matter how powerful the Northwest Army is, it is still thousands of miles away! As for the fact that Yunqing led troops to destroy the bandits in Maro Mountain, he felt more uncertain. If it was so easy to send out troops, Taining Hou Shizi would have nothing to do.

Yu Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't they ask for tolls? Tomorrow we will take money to the village to pay the tolls." The sarcastic expression on his face showed that he was duplicity.

Han Ji hesitated, and said, "Master Yu, isn't this appropriate?" He was worried that these bandits would chop off Yu Cong's head if they saw him.

Yu Cong laughed loudly: "I'm not even afraid of the barbarians captured in the north, I'm afraid of some of their bandits." Unless these people are courageous, they would never dare to kill him.

Seeing this, Han Ji said, "Then I will go with you on weekdays." Although Yu Cong is not a tyrannical character, he is definitely not as good as him in negotiating matters.

On the second day, Yu Cong and Han Ji went up to Mount Maro.

Walking into the cottage, there are tall and powerful bandits standing on both sides. Each of these bandits holds a big knife in their hands. The psychological quality is a little weak, seeing such a scene, I have to pee in fear immediately.

Yu Cong had never seen any scene following Yun Qing, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. Han Ji's mental quality was a little weak, and his legs were trembling with fright when he saw this battle. Seeing Yu Cong striding forward as if nothing had happened, Han Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed with heavy steps.

The bandit leader of Maro Mountain was surnamed Hong and named Feihu. He was very tall and tall, and his face could not be seen at all with a beard all over his face. Seeing Yu Cong with the usual expression, Hong Feihu said: "Brother, you are very courageous." Hong Feihu put on the formation just now, just to get a feel for Yu Cong's foundation. As Yu Cong expected, Hong Feihu didn't dare to kill him. Hong Feihu is not a fool, the Northwest Army is extremely powerful, and there is still room for negotiation in detaining their food and grass. If they kill their people, Yunqing will bring troops to suppress them, and Ma Luoshan will not leave behind up.

Yu Cong showed disdain, and said: "I didn't bat an eyelid when I faced more than 100,000 barbarians from the north, and your little tricks are also trying to scare me?" He sneered and said: "But you are so brave. It is also very large, and even dared to seize our grain and grass. A group of bandits in Long County hijacked our grain and grass a few days ago. Our general sent 600 elite soldiers in a fit of anger, and within one night, they captured this gang More than 1,600 bandits were wiped out."

Hong Feihu's pupils shrank.

Hearing this, the second head of Maro Mountain laughed out loud. After laughing, he stared at Yu Cong gloomily, and said, "I didn't frighten you too much. The old man said that he would destroy us." Is it? How is it now? Lying on the bed half dead."

Yu Cong sneered, asked Hong Feihu, and said, "So, are you going to let him go?"

How could he talk nonsense with these Fizzles and directly lead his troops to kill them.

Beside Hong Feihu, a man in a long gown with a fair complexion said: "If you just let you pass like this, how can we mess around in the rivers and lakes in the future? However, as long as you can pass our test, not only will you no longer confiscate your food and grass, In the future, we will not embarrass you with anything belonging to the Northwest Army? What do you think?" Yunqing's murderous reputation and murderous reputation still make these people feel scruples.

Yu Cong said expressionlessly: "Who is in charge of the house in Maruo Mountain?" Just a random person jumped out and interjected, it is a group of bandits after all, there is no rule at all. If it was in the Northwest Army, who would dare to speak if the general did not let him speak. Don't think that Yunqing is easy to talk in front of Yuxi, but in front of soldiers, he has a high prestige.

Hong Feihu said: "The words of the military adviser are also what I mean." He also cared about Yunqing's combat effectiveness with the Northwest Army, otherwise he would not be allowed to come up the mountain.

A sneer crossed the corner of Yu Cong's mouth, and he said, "Okay." It was because Yu Cong had enough confidence in himself that he agreed without even asking about the test items.

After an hour, Yu Cong took Han Ji down the mountain safely. 200,000 shi of grain and grass passed Maro Mountain smoothly. However, Han Ji had a nightmare that night, dreaming that he had crossed the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire, and his life was hanging by a thread every time, and he passed it almost every time.

After waking up, Han Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Everyone around the general is capable." After returning, he must tell his wife about it. Well, I have to tell the Duke of this matter.

Yu Xi, who was missed by Han Ji, is about to have someone invite Dr. Bai into the mansion to diagnose her pulse. It has been ten days since Yuxi didn't come in her childhood. Yuxi guessed that she was pregnant, but it was confirmed by a doctor.

Doctor Bai finished Yuxi's diagnosis, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam is happy, it has been a month."

Although she knew it well, she was still very happy to hear the news. He couldn't help but gently put his hands on his lower abdomen.

Yunqing came over when he got the news, asked Yuxi, and said, "Are you really pregnant?" In fact, Yunqing was very contradictory, he wanted a child, but he couldn't do the things of husband and wife after having a child.

Yuxi smiled and glared at Yunqing, and said: "What are you talking about? Of course it is true, it has been a month." Yuxi hoped that this child would be a son, so that she would not have any pressure.

Yun Qing said: "Then you have a good pregnancy, and leave the outside affairs to the people below." When Yu Xi was pregnant with Zao Zao, she suffered a lot.

Yu Xi smiled and said, "I'll just use my words, and I don't need to bother. But don't worry, I will do what I can. If my body can't bear it, I won't do it." I don't know if it was in my previous life It's too idle, she likes to have something to do now, and she doesn't want to be idle.

Yun Qing didn't stop Yu Xi either, nodded and said, "Okay." Anyway, he spent most of the time in the mansion and knew everything.

When Tu heard that Yuxi was pregnant, she was very envious. When I arrived at Yunfu, I saw Yuxi and said, "It's great that you are pregnant not long after weaning."

Yuxi said: "You can get pregnant soon after you have adjusted your body."

Tu Shi nodded, talked to Yu Xi for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Where is Zao Zao? Why haven't I seen Zao Zao after coming here for a long time?"

Yu Xi smiled and said: "In the front yard, with her father!" In Yun Mansion, Zao Zao is the most popular. Every time Zao Zao passes by, the front yard is full of joy. So even if Yun Qing is very busy, Zao Zao doesn't have to worry about company.

Mrs. Tu said with some envy: "That's great. My second master, let alone helping to take care of the child, has never hugged him."

Yuxi smiled and said: "You have to cultivate this awareness." She also guided Yunqing step by step to let Yunqing know how to take care of the child. Now the relationship between parents should not be mentioned.

Tu Shi shook her head and said, "Forget it, if I do this, my parents-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely not be happy." In fact, this is just an excuse, she will not really let Zhao Erye take care of the child. Men work hard to earn money to support the family, and take care of the children to do housework. This is what women should do.

Yuxi smiled and didn't continue this topic. It's also because she doesn't have in-laws, so she can do whatever she wants. If there are in-laws, she might have opinions.

Mrs. Tu was also savvy, changed the subject, and said: "Mr. Chen agrees to allow General Fu to take a concubine, but he is not allowed to marry a second wife." At this point, Mrs. Tu gloated a little, and said, "She did it on her own, if that The servant girl's fetus has failed, and Old General Fu will definitely not insist on letting General Fu marry the second wife." At that time, everyone around Chen said that she was pregnant with a boy, and she was so confident. It's a pity that Wenpo and the doctor sometimes miss each other.

Yuxi was a little emotional, and said: "The key to this matter lies in Fu Tianlei. If Fu Tianlei does not agree to marry the second wife, General Fu will not withdraw."

Mrs. Tu nodded, and said: "That's true. But speaking of it, the Fu family has too many things to think about. First, Fu Qingluo escaped from marriage, and now they are having trouble with their children. The house is unstable, how can General Fu Do you want to fight with peace of mind?" Fu Tianlei is Yunqing's best brother, and now that Yunqing has become Yucheng's guard, Fu Tianlei is naturally rising.

These words are somewhat provocative. Yuxi smiled, skipped the topic and said, "I'm going to open a grocery store in Yucheng to sell some daily necessities." It's also to change the subject, otherwise I wouldn't have told Tu Shi about it!

Seeing that Yuxi didn't answer, Tu was a little disappointed, but she cheered up and said, "How can I make money by opening a grocery store? It's better to open a rice store."

Yuxi smiled and said: "The main purpose of opening this grocery store is to sell things from my village." Yuxi didn't open the grocery store to make money, but to benefit the people of Yucheng. Because of the grocery store she opened, the price will definitely be fair.

Tu said with a smile: "You, you are really a bodhisattva." As for the things Yuxi sells, the price will definitely not be high, otherwise, instead of opening a shop, she would have sold them directly to the military camp. R8
