Chapter 235 Han Dashan
On the first day of the new year, we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

When the people of Jingling City went out to set off firecrackers, they looked at the patrolling soldiers and horses on the street with paragraphs on them, and they really understood these four words.

Duan Yi squatted in front of the market, stretched out her finger, and poked the black fish swimming in the tub.

"My old man, why is there still a market on the first day of the new year? I smell the smell of rice all the way. It seems that last year was a good year, but it was a prosperous year."

There are not many customers now, and the old man selling fish is quite leisurely, "Listen to the lady's accent, isn't it from us Jingling, isn't it? Let's catch up with the early years. On the first day of the first lunar month, we have to come in to cook and set off firecrackers before dawn."

As he spoke, he said with some pride, "The boy is capable and has caught a lot of fish. The rich and the rich are greedy for fresh fish, and today they want to pay three times the price of the old ones. I came here in the dark, and now there are only a few small ones left. , do you want it, my lady?"

Duan Yi glanced at Zhilu, who had already squatted down and started picking fish.

The old man opened up the chatter box, and said again, "Where is the good year? There is no war now, and I don't want to eat it during the New Year. Maybe someday it will be confiscated."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard about it, little lady? The bandits from Qingniu Mountain broke in last night, and there is a strange news about the mausoleum city, and a woman is actually in charge of the house."

When the old man saw that Lu Jiang had all the fish, he was very happy, and Duan Yi became more and more pleasing to his eyes.

Duan Yi smiled, "Since the bandits have entered the city, how dare the old man come out to sell fish? Isn't he afraid of being robbed?"

The old man waved his hand, "I was afraid at first, but Mr. Han is convinced, which means this one is much better than the previous one."

"As far as this market is concerned, there was no such thing in the past. We peddled goods along the street, and we were either beaten by local ruffians or driven away by city patrollers. It was Han Dali who overcame all opinions and gave us a piece of peace of mind."

"Speaking of Mr. Han, who doesn't admire him in Jingling? In the old man's grandfather's generation, the Han family was a big family in Jingling City. We often suffer from floods, and the sons of the Han family lead the family members in boats everywhere. Save people."

"One year when there was an insect infestation, the Han family not only opened their own granary, but also used money to buy grain everywhere, so that the people would not starve to death. Even if there were gold and silver mountains, they were all emptied. "

"Last year, my mother-in-law saw that Mr. Han's clothes were old, so she sewed new clothes for him and quietly sent them over. But he sent them back again, saying that the clothes can cover the body."

The old lady had already packed her things. Hearing this, she couldn't help leaning over and sighing, "Master Han, you are a good person!"

Duan Yi nodded, asked Zhilu to pick up the fish, bid farewell to the old couple who sold the fish, and looked around again.

Cheng Qiong, who was following beside him, couldn't help but said, "My lord knew early on that Han Jiangfang is the backbone of Jingling's army?"

Duan Yi put her hands on the back of her head, walked loosely, and shook her head, "I'm not that old magician, can I still make friends? My eyes..."

Duan Yi said, pointing to her eyes, and smiled, "Then you can only see a beauty like Zhang Tao."

Seeing that Cheng Qiong didn't answer, Duan Yi said again, "Although I can't see that he is a good person, he has such prestige in this Jingling City. Li Yuan has been wandering outside all year round, and he is not familiar with the affairs of the city, and he is half-hearted. Not a word."

"But as soon as I saw Han Jiang, I knew he was different. Zhang Tao is not good enough, and he is not a person who is often in the army. Zhang Yan encountered a big problem, and asked his son to dispatch troops. At this time, follow him Those who come are either Zhang Yan's confidantes, or people with prestige in the army."

"Zhang Yan and Zhang Tao's father and son died. He didn't show any sadness. Li Yuan asked the Jingling army to surrender. After they heard the words, they all took a sneak peek at Han Jiang. Obviously this is an important person."

Cheng Qiong hooked the corner of his mouth, completely convinced Duan Yi in his heart.

"When we leave Jingling, my lord can ask Han Jiang to take over Jingling. These days, you can take care of yourself and leave the affairs of the army to Cheng Qiong. With Han Jiang here, the difficult things you worried about before can be solved now." It's not difficult anymore."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi looked at Cheng Qiong in surprise.

"It was supposed to be handed over to you! If I didn't see it, I would be free to buy fish! If you were born with Zhang Tao's beauty, you would think about eating and drinking for free! I seem to be the kind of person who has to do everything myself, and exhaust myself. Dead people?"

Cheng Qiong's smile froze, of course not.

"Who can take advantage of a big guy like you?"

Duan Yi smiled, and patted Cheng Qiong's shoulder, "It's good that you know. Even if I agree, the housekeeper next to me knows the way, and Lao Jia, the housekeeper, is also 1 people who refuse to agree."

Having said this, Duan Yi became depressed again.

She had obviously won the battle, and now she has money in her pocket. It was just such a small wish, to change out of such an ugly "prison uniform".

They were both rejected by Zhilu and Lao Jia...

Seeing her appearance, Zhilu immediately said earnestly, "Girl, Mr. Guan sent a lot of these cloths back then, and they were unnecessary. Besides, they were all just made, so what a waste to replace them?"

"And I thought about it yesterday. It's no wonder that the Guan family is so rich. It's really extraordinary and far-sighted. The girl recruited troops all the way. Like this Jingling army, they already have clothes. Wouldn't it be a waste to do it again?"

"Writing a paragraph in the circle is simply a work of magic. In the future, when we recruit different troops, we only need to cut a circle, write a paragraph, and sew it on."

Duan Yi is speechless, why don't you both kill me!
Cheng Qiong was listening, and couldn't help but look at Zhilu carefully, and he had a high opinion of her in his heart.

This is the person who can control Duan Yi!
"My lord, to the west of this Jingling County is Jingzhou. Jingzhou has strong soldiers and horses, and it is the territory of the eldest grandson's family... To the east is Huainan Road. General Cui is now attacking Huainan."

"To the south is the Jiangnan West Road of Lord Su Xiaowang's house. To the north is Fushui County. Fushui is smaller than Jingling. It is the hometown of Wu Gong, and it is also the place of Xu Yi, who has fought with the master. place."

"Though it's too early..."

Cheng Qiong was making calculations in his mind, and while he was talking, he saw a soldier wearing the uniform of the Jingling Army rush out, plopped, and knelt down in front of Duan Yi.

Cheng Qiong subconsciously pulled out the long sword from his waist and blocked it in front of Duan Yi.

The little soldier was taken aback, bit his lip, and couldn't help but said, "General, my youngest name is Chun Geng, and he lives in Pingtou Village near Qingyun Mountain. I heard that you are from Qingniu Mountain."

"My elder sister, named Sun Xiang, was taken captive to the mountain before... I, I, I..."

Duan Yi was taken aback, and pulled Cheng Qiong's long sword away, "You are Sun Xiang's younger brother, what a coincidence, she has already gone home, why don't you know?"

When Chun Geng heard this, he was overjoyed, "I was arrested by Zhang Yan, and I never went back."
