Chapter 223 Eighteen Letters
Duan Yi sat inside the door and looked out.

Although it only took a few days, but with 200 people working together, this Qingniu Mountain has changed a lot from before.

Rao, she experienced these things once at the old Duan family's ancestral grave, but the second time she came back, she was still very happy.

She thought, stood up, and walked towards the back of the meeting hall.

Through the back door, you can see a small yard.

This courtyard was built by Qi Langzhong who insisted that Duan Yi be repaired first. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

There is a bedroom, a study, and a bath.

He and old Jia Suyun, Cheng Qiong and others lived in the houses of the previous bandit leaders.

It was so rare that he didn't sleep, he was walking around in the small yard, and seeing Duan Yi push open the bamboo fence door to come in, he ran over and hugged her leg.

Duan Yi's expression softened a little, and she hugged Lingji up, "You are good, you eat, eat and sleep all day long. How did you know that Cui Zigeng sent a letter, you don't even sleep today asleep."

As she was talking, she looked down and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lingji arched in her arms, found a comfortable place, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Duan Yi stroked its hair, feeling a little worried, and left the Chu family village with an idea, and then slept all the time, not knowing if it was not acclimatized.

She thought, and entered the house.

Zhiqiao and Zhilu have already neatly stacked the letter on the pigeon's leg on her desk.

Duan Yi looked at a total of eighteen letters in front of her, and curled her lips speechlessly.

She put the inspiration on the soft cushion beside her, picked up the letter on the desk case, opened it, and the old man blushed.

She cleared her throat and read all the other letters as if nothing had happened.

Then decisively twisted these into a ball, and walked towards the back room, she opened the cage, rummaged inside for a brocade bag that she knew the way and didn't know when she embroidered, and stuffed all these paper strips into it, Just now he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's morning now, and Zhilu was cleaning the house. Seeing her like this, he wondered, "Girl, are you sick? It's almost the New Year's Eve. It's very cold, don't catch a cold. "

Duan Yi shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just the old iron tree blooming, it's too spicy!"

Zhilu was at a loss, saw the box cage open, and said, "Girl, speaking of it, the box next to it was given to you by General Xiao Cui before parting. We have been traveling all the way, and we have been busy building a house these days. Haven't opened it yet!"

Duan Yi was taken aback, and looked at a small wooden box in the cage.

Even if she was used to woodwork with Mr. Guan, she couldn't tell what kind of wood it was, only that it looked quite old and antique.It was locked with a neat little brass lock.

There is no key, only the heavenly stems and earthly branches are drawn on it.

Duan Yi watched, picked up the wooden box, and shook it in her hand, it was heavy.

She stretched out her finger, poked in the wooden box according to her birth date, and only heard a click, and the brass lock was opened.

Duan Yi didn't open the box, took the brass lock and looked at it again and again, but still couldn't figure out where the mechanism was, so she had to put it aside and opened the small wooden box.

At this opening, Duan Yi took a breath for an instant.

I saw that it was full of gold ingots.

"No! Is it fashionable to give gold ingots when we are parting now? If I had known, I would go out of the city every morning, go back in the evening, and leave the city the next morning, and so on and so forth... how much gold would I earn!"

Duan Shu gave her gold ingots before, and now Cui Zi gave her another gold ingot!
She, Duan Yi, is still a bit lucky!
Zhilu on the side was also grinning from ear to ear, but she was happy for a while, then frowning again.

Duan Yi watched, and looked over curiously, "You miser, why are you unhappy?"

Zhilu shook his head, "Erniang is the girl's own sister, so it's fine to give you gold and silver; this little General Cui is an outsider after all, and I'm afraid he will return the gold and silver that he took."

"Knowing the way is joyful at first, but then feels sad. As long as there is someone in the family or in-laws who can be relied on, the girl will not be restrained by others for some money."

Duan Yi's heart warmed, she stretched out her hand, and patted Zhilu, "It's good to know the way, keep it away for emergencies. I didn't ask for Qianzhong Road, and it's not too much to accept Cui Zi and a box of gold." .”

"If you don't feel comfortable using it, see you next time, and we'll return it to him."

When Zhilu heard it, he became happy again.

She took out the white handkerchief she had just embroidered, picked up a gold ingot, and wiped it cheerfully.

Duan Yi looked at her stupid look, exchanged glances with Zhiqiao, and laughed.

"Girl, that Little General Cui wrote you so many letters, but what did they say?"

Zhilu was in a good mood, his mind was a little clearer, thinking of Duan Yi's appearance before, he couldn't help asking.

Duan Yi cleared her throat, "What can I say? I just asked if we have found a place to stay. Now that Jiangnan East Road has been rectified by him, Cui Dalang was buried with his mother, and Cui Zi didn't treat them harshly."

"It is also said that Song Cheng returned to Hongzhou and helped Su Litian out of the siege. Now that the rebellion in Hongzhou City has completely subsided, I asked Prince Su to write a letter when he has time; they originally planned to attack Huainan Road next year."

"Congratulations to the uncles in Huainan, Huainan Road is also in chaos if they want to eat up their families. They may see the opportunity and go north."

Zhilu listened, quite disappointed.

Duan Yi was relieved to see that she didn't continue to ask.

She walked towards the desk outside, picked up a pen and paper, wrote the six characters "safety falls into a bandit", and walked outside.

Those pigeons were not afraid of people, they walked up and down the threshing field, like overseers, staring at the bandits building houses.

Duan Yi walked over, grabbed the fattest pigeon, and tied the note with six characters on it's leg. As soon as he gave it away with both hands, the pigeon cooed a few times, and then flew eastward. gone.

The sun had already risen in the sky, and the whole village was filled with the smell of steamed buns.

Those people who did rough work in the stockade before have all been handed over to Lao Niu and his sister-in-law to discipline them.

That Li Yuan rubbed her shoulder, he looked back at Zhou Du three times a step at a time, saw him nodding, and walked towards Duan Yi slowly.

"Duan... General Duan, I heard that you want to rob... No, it's training soldiers..." Li Yuan thought about Cheng Qiong's stinky face, and quickly changed her words.

"You should have heard what Wu Gong said. I was originally the son of the governor of Jingling, and I grew up here since I was a child. Although I often travel abroad when I grow up, I know everything that should be known."

"I have a message about the money coming. I don't know if the general is willing to listen to it. It is precisely because of this that Chen He made me the third head of Qingniu Mountain earlier."

Duan Yi turned around and looked at Li Yuan with great interest, "Tell me and listen."

Li Yuan didn't say it directly, but asked, "The general wants to occupy Qingniu Mountain as the king in the future. After all, I think you have started to build houses and roads... It doesn't look like you are just stationed temporarily."

"Or do you want to attack Jingling after training your soldiers?" Li Yuan asked again after a pause.

"If you attack Jingling, Li Yuan has a merciless request. I hope that by then you can kill my family's enemies with your own hands."
