When Ge Liu came back on horseback to report the letter, the city gate was closed.

"Where is Mr. Song?"

"It's in Zhizhou Yamen!"

"Where's Zhao Sihai?"

"How about taking someone to patrol the streets?"

"Okay, then I'll go to Zhizhou Yamen to see Mr. Song first, you are here to watch!"

Ge Liu didn't even bother to talk to the corporal, and he hurried away with a flick of the whip. The corporal wanted to ask about the situation. When he saw it, he swallowed the words he said, and his heart was beating: Ge Liuge In such a hurry, Brother Hu, did they win or lose?

As soon as Ge Liu arrived at the Zhizhou Yamen, he turned over and got off his horse. He rushed in in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "Mr. Song, Mister Song!"

Song Xianggong was talking to a few people in the hall. Hearing Ge Liu's voice outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then he became agitated, ignoring the few people sitting there, and even disregarding the manners of his Zhizhou adults. He raised his **** and ran out in a hurry. Before he could see Ge Liu's figure, he asked anxiously, "How did the battle go, did you win or lose? Tell me now!"

"Win, win!"

Ge Liu roared excitedly, and rushed to the front, only to find that there were a few people behind Song Xianggong, but it was the yamen's little official Lu Changyuan and the big family in the city Qi Yuantai. The other people were familiar, but I couldn't remember them for a while Although they knew that these people were big gentry families in the city, they had donated food to the Taiping Camp.

Lu Changyuan and Qi Yuantai were named Lai Yamen by Song Xianggong to discuss how to restore spring ploughing. In name, Song Xianggong, the prefect of the state, wanted to discuss spring ploughing with them, but in fact he wanted to trap these people in the yamen, so as to avoid They conspired in private.

In the past few days, Lu Changyuan and the others have been making constant small moves, and the rumors in the city have also continued. Song Xianggong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He wanted to arrest them, but he was afraid of provoking civil unrest. Unable to control the situation, he had no choice but to use some excuses to call these people into the yamen.

When Ge Liu's cry came, Lu Yuanyuan and the others didn't react much, because they were not familiar with Ge Liu, but when they saw Duke Xiang of Song running out in a hurry, they were all concerned. Knowingly, he stood less than ten feet behind Song Xianggong, but his eyes were staring straight at Ge Liu. Hearing Song Xianggong asking how the battle was going, what was the stern face called "victory", a All of them changed their faces, Lu Changyuan even shook hands tightly, sweating all over, and his body swayed slightly.

"Really won?"

Song Xianggong still couldn't believe the great news, and shook Ge Liu's hand. The few days of waiting really made him live like a year. But I'm afraid to get the news, the taste is really uncomfortable. But I finally got through it, and I also waited for the news I wanted to hear the most!

"Really won, really won!"

Ge Liu ignored Lu Yuanyuan and the others, and talked about how Deqing Green Camp was lured out of the city, and how he was defeated in one fell swoop.

On the other side, Lu Changyuan's face became uglier the more he listened to it, while Qi Yuantai and the others didn't show their joy and anger, but their eyes seemed to be a little dodgy.

"but..."

Ge Liuzheng stopped suddenly, his expression changed from joy to sadness, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if a big change had occurred.

Song Xianggong was startled and lost his voice: "What's wrong?"

Ge Liu squatted down with his face covered, and said in pain, "Big Brother Hu died in battle!"

"What?" Song Xianggong was stunned and said in disbelief: "Hu Quan is dead? Why is he dead!"

"Big Brother Hu is called Tartar..."

Ge Liu then recounted the death of Hu Laohu in the Great War, but he concealed the repeated dangers of Taiping Camp and was almost wiped out. He only said that Hu Laohu was injured by the secret arrows of the Qing army, lest Lu Yuanyuan and the others would suffer from it. Seeing that the Taiping Camp has come and gone, there are changes.

"After the eldest brother died, Brother Zhou asked someone to find a coffin to put it in, and then sewed the eldest brother's body with his own hands, saying that he must bring the eldest brother back to Luoding. The coffin is still halfway there, and I'm afraid that I will be able to return to the city tomorrow."

"Oh, Brother Zhou, benevolent and righteous!"

Song Xianggong sighed, helped Ge Liu to get up, and after wiping his tears with his sleeve, he turned to Lu Changyuan and Qi Yuantai and said, "Let's discuss the matter of spring ploughing here. If you have the money, you will have the money, and you will be able to contribute, so that you can plant crops before you can get food, otherwise, there will be a famine in the city in the second half of the year."

"Yes, my lord!"

Qi Yuantai and the others looked at each other and answered in unison, and Lu Yuanyuan also responded, but he accidentally fell when he went out with the others. After the person on the side helped him up, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught Song Xianggong staring at him. , could not help a cold sudden, hurried out of the yamen.

Seeing this, Ge Liu looked fierce and said to Duke Song Xiang: "Mr. Song, do you want to kill these people?" His right hand made a downward slash.

Song Xianggong snorted, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about them, the overall situation has been decided, these jumping clowns can't turn the waves, we still lack manpower, we will solve it when Brother Zhou comes back, Much more secure."

After he finished speaking, he dragged Ge Liu into the lobby, and asked Zhao Sihai to call in. He asked about the battle in detail, and learned that Zhou Shixiang had exchanged a large amount of food for the prisoners and the Deqing Green Camp, and also exchanged a large amount of food with Deqing's Green Camp Qian. The general conspired to make a fortune, Song Xianggong's mood suddenly improved, although his eyes were still red, but the tears stopped.

Zhao Sihai didn't know about Boss Hu's death yet, but when he learned that the brothers who went on the expedition made a lot of money, he was overjoyed. When Ge Liu told him about Boss Hu's death, he was stunned. sobbing.

After he cried for a while, Song Xianggong went to persuade him, saying that the dead can't be resurrected, the brothers who went out to the expedition are still on their way back, and there are many wounded, so they have to quickly arrange for people to pick them up, and on the other hand, they must be good old guards. Weak women and children's work, they have to let these people know in advance, lest they don't see their men make trouble after the team returns to the city. The pension that should be given should be given, and the law should be pre-determined in advance.

Ge Liu also persuaded him for a while, and also said that the former camp was now presided over by Zhou Shixiang. Zhao Sihai had no opinion on this, but said, "Brother Zhou is a good person."

The three discussed in the hall for a while, then Song Xianggong went to the back camp, Ge Liu organized people to meet the front camp, and Zhao Sihai strengthened the city's guard, lest those who have dissent wanted to jump over the wall and rush to the front. There was trouble before the camp came back.
