Chapter 42: Bright forehead, no way out
"Prince Lin, let these brats come to see you." Hao Yaoqi rolled his eyes, laughed and cursed: "Look at those worthless looks, you're going to salivate."
Li Yue and others secretly curled their lips and said to themselves: You still have the nerve to criticize others, but you just acted like a country bumpkin.
Li Laiheng looked at several young people and solemnly told him: "Come here one by one. Don't fight over it. If I break this treasure, even if I chop off your heads, it won't be enough to compensate you."
Yuan Dongbao didn't know what kind of footwork he used, but he suddenly passed over everyone, and under the gaze of several stunned eyes, he stretched out his hands to Li Laiheng with a smile.
"I don't know how to be humble, are my skin tight again?" Yuan Zongdi snorted and frowned.
Li Laiheng laughed, handed the telescope into Yuan Dongbao's hand, and said, "What humility? Uncle Yuan is too harsh. Isn't it commendable that Dongbao still maintains his simplicity and frankness?"
Yuan Dongbao's heart was beating wildly when his father hummed. Fortunately, Li Laiheng blocked him. Apart from being grateful, he also cursed in his heart: According to seniority, you are the eldest brother. But Dongbao Dongbao sounded like he was a generation older.
.
Look at it, a few young people gathered together, even less determined, and the sounds they made were louder and weirder.
"Be careful, don't grab it, don't drop the baby." Li Laiheng scolded Li Yue, rolling up his arms and sleeves, as if he wanted to step forward to take care of his cub.
Yuan Zongdi also glared at his own Dongbao, and stepped forward.
Huang Li quickly stopped the two princes and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's just a plaything. Even if it doesn't exist, it won't affect our army's victory in the war."
Even so, several young people restrained themselves, stopped fighting, and became cautious in their movements, but the sounds of exclamation were still heard.
"It's a pity that it's just a telescope. No matter how clear it is, it won't have much impact on the battle situation. If there was a rocket launcher or something..."
Huang Li shook his head and got rid of this useless thought. If he really wanted to bring a weapon for time travel, he would rather have a sniper rifle and hundreds of bullets.
"The Prince of Dong'an County wants to see Mr. Huang, but the troops are about to be sent out. I'm afraid Mr. Huang has no time to spare, right?" Hao Yaoqi is relatively leisurely. He didn't push his son next to Huang Li, and he doesn't seem to have a son.
You have already found a good reason for me, so let’s not meet each other for now.
Huang Li smiled and said: "What Duke Yi Guo said is true. It's better to wait until after this battle and then go see the prince again!"
It doesn't matter whether they meet or not. Huang Li doesn't like this cumbersome etiquette, even though he has decided to kneel to his parents in heaven and earth, and never to kneel to others again.
It is estimated that Zhu Shenglang is not easy to find fault with in terms of etiquette, but Huang Li feels that it is better to do less than to do more.
"A certain person has arranged for the county prince to live temporarily in the commander's mansion." Li Laiheng said slowly from the side: "Madam thinks that the small courtyard in the northeast corner of Wangdianping is very quiet. She insists on moving there, no matter how much persuasion is used, it is useless."
This is quite normal. Mrs. Gao felt that it was inconvenient for a woman to live in a house with outsiders, so she made humility.
Yuan Zongdi nodded and said: "Leave it to Madam! I have seen that small courtyard and it is indeed very quiet. I just need to send more people to serve it."
Li Laiheng smiled helplessly and said: "A certain person has asked someone to re-select a site in Wangdianping and build several houses for his wife to live in for a long time."
This was a no-brainer solution. Even he gave up the commander's residence and found another place to work.
If the war was not imminent and other places were not safe enough, would a place as big as Xingshan County not be able to accommodate Zhu Shenglang?
When talking about building several houses, Li Laiheng glanced at Huang Li. Although the meaning was not obvious, one could guess that they were specially built for him to live in.
"If you admit your identity, the handsome mansion will be yours. It would be great to change it to the royal palace." Li Laiheng sighed helplessly to himself.
Huang Li didn't pay attention and didn't guess what Li Laiheng meant. He was a little curious when they heard about Mrs. Gao, but it was just a passing thought.
Where to live is not Huang Li's first priority. Winning this battle and recharging his life balance are the top priorities.
Being able to reach this point is partly due to Huang Li's efforts and deception, and partly due to being pushed by Li Laiheng and others, and being entangled by the situation.
When people are in the arena, they can’t help themselves!
Huang Li found helplessly that he had been tied tighter and tighter to the Ming army's chariot.
Although the envoy of the third prince is a fake, will the Qing court let him go? Obviously not, it would rather kill the wrong one than let him go. This has always been the Qing court's ruthless attitude towards the clan surnamed Zhu.
After wandering around for so many days, many Ming soldiers have become familiar with him. Maybe they will identify him under the pressure of the Qing army in the future.
Besides, I am so tall and mighty, so handsome and unrestrained, I can say that I have a bright forehead, this handsome face is easy to recognize everywhere!
Well, don’t think about the mess. It seems that there is only one way left in front of you, which is to roll up your sleeves and work hard!
……………
There was a lot of desertion in the village, especially among the young and strong men. Many of them were recruited as civilian husbands and went with the army.
This is not a strange thing. In ancient wars, it was common to transport food and recruit husbands, whether it was the Qing army or the Ming army.
However, the Ming army did not abuse civilians, and Li Laiheng also promised that upon returning from victory, each man would be rewarded with fifty kilograms of white rice.
Although the people of Xingshan County at that time still mainly cultivated rice, the yield was not high. Fifty pounds of white rice was a lot of reward for the people.
What's more, if you go out with the army, you can have enough to eat and save your own food.
Yingying got up very early, dressed and washed after the cockcrow. Although Mr. Huang never came back after leaving, getting up early was her habit and it did not change.
Walking to the yard, bathing in the sunshine, Ying Ying checked a few ridges of land in the yard and was surprised to find that she could actually see a few green spots in the soil.
Nearly ten days have passed, and the pepper seeds finally sprouted and were unearthed, but the seedlings have not yet emerged from the ground, only green dots like small eyes are exposed on the ground, as if they are peeping and observing outside.
"Mr. Huang said that the peppers can sprout in seven or eight days, while the potatoes will take more than a month." Yingying squatted down happily and looked at the green dots carefully, hoping that they would emerge soon, reveal their branches and leaves, and blossom and bear fruit.<

"The barbecue mixture contains chili pepper. It tastes a little spicy, but it tastes better than dogwood." Ying Ying swallowed unconsciously. The barbecue the girl brought back was really fragrant and delicious.
A small figure appeared in the courtyard, rubbing its sleepy eyes and calling "sister" vaguely.
Ying Ying stood up and asked with a smile: "You got up very early, why don't you sleep more?"
