Mr. Yangui

Chapter 176 Chapter [-]: Hunting and Anti-hunting
Er Lengzi Zhuang finally became lively.

Well, it's called Er Leng Zi Zhuang now.

Li Wuchang disliked the name Dingmao Bingzhuang as not pleasant at all, it felt like the imperial court had just randomly marked it, so he changed the name of the village to Erlianzizhuang.

He got Zhuang Min's approval and sent someone to report to the prefect Feng Yi.

There are more people in the Zhuangzhu Mansion.

Nie Quan and Xie Changhao, the two fifth-rank masters who grew up eating a lot of food, had already been appointed, and they had already been recruited into the owner's mansion, which aroused envy.

The fellow on Hu Ben Road timidly found Fat Xiong, saying that his son Hu Qianyong also wanted to talk to the owner, Fat Xiong told Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang thought about it and agreed, which made Hu Qianyong extremely excited.

In addition, Li Wuchang also recruited three honest and capable middle-aged women to take care of laundry, cooking and cleaning. Their families are poor, their husbands are injured, and there are old people to support at home, so Li Wuchang let them enter the mansion.

The construction plan of Zhuangzi has been vigorously launched.

There is labor, food and copper coins.

Zhao Xun said that if you want to build a lake, you should first repair the two roads in the sand. In that case, it will be very convenient for transporting mud to the crop fields or transporting stones from the east and west mountains.

This proposal was approved by Li Wuchang, who made Zhao Xun responsible.

So in the past few days, the two mountains and the crop fields are full of heat.

There is a clear division of labor for stone quarrying, transportation, and ground digging.

The road was planned by Li Wuchang himself. There is one north-south road and one east-west road. It is not too long. Three donkey carts are wide.

The donkeys and carts were bought from the city, which cost a lot of silver. I wanted to buy cattle, but the cattle were too expensive, one cow was worth six donkeys, and the quantity was so small that I couldn’t even buy them.

The simple big dining hall is set up under the west mountain pass, and a simple and rough big shed is built, and the cook is a big man in the village.

Generally, it is coarse grain steamed buns, noodles, plus bone broth and vegetables. Although it is simple, it is not lacking in nutrition, and the most important thing is that the amount is very large.

Men and big boys went to help, hundreds of them.

Many women and children also want to earn wages. Li Wuchang does not let them do such heavy work, but let them do some work such as delivering water and washing vegetables, or picking some herbs to make herbal tea, or cutting some grass As rations for donkeys.

Zhao Xun was in charge of the overall project, and Fat Bear Lu Desheng took a few brothers to inspect the project, thinking of some convenient working methods, and at the same time reminding the farmers to pay attention to safety.

The patrol team is still there, led by Zhai Changping and Cao Hao, who brought Nie Quan and Xie Changhao, plus a group of veterans, to patrol around in case there are bandits who are not afraid of death. You don't have to be polite to the troublesome bandits, let's talk about it after they are disabled.

Everywhere is very lively, the old people who have nothing to do will take their grandchildren to look around, and they will be amazed, Zhuangzi is finally a little angry, not as lifeless as before.

Although they don't quite understand why two roads are built in the crop field.

Li Wuchang wasn't idle either, he took Jiang Minglun to build a blacksmith's shop these days, and seized quite a lot of ironware while sweeping the bandit's lair, which was useless, so he wanted to return it to the furnace.

There are a few veterans in the village who are old blacksmiths. Those who have used weapons before have a great say in the blacksmith's shop. Li Wuchang invited them to come over as staff.

The place is planned, the area is large, the foundation is laid, the layout is planned, and then it is built directly with green bricks. It is not ambiguous at all, there is no shortage of manpower and materials, and within a few days, the prototype will come out. The roof of the house was shaded, and the iron was started.

The iron objects seized from the bandit's lair, whether it's weapons, rotten pots, or all kinds of broken copper and iron, are all returned to the furnace to make all kinds of farm tools, hoes, shovels, chisels and so on.

"Haha, old Chen, your craftsmanship is not bad, this shovel looks decent, thanks to you guys, otherwise I don't know what to do with this pile of scrap metal." Li Wuchang held it A shovel waved, with admiration in his mouth.

Old Chen smiled foolishly, and said: "The owner has won the award. I, Old Chen, used to be a weapon maker. Of course, it's no problem to make these farm tools. Tell me, are so many scrap irons turned into shovels and hoes? Do you want it? Get something else?"

Li Wuchang said: "Let's get more shovels first, I guess the two roads will be repaired soon from the look of the crop field, and then we will have to dig that muddy field, it's not a problem if we don't have tools at hand. There is no requirement, just like the one in my hand."

Old Chen replied: "Okay, owner, go and have a rest. You are exhausted these days. You are such a big son, and you are like a coolie. Everyone is embarrassed. You just have to give me an idea. Just leave the rough work to us."

After Lao Chen finished speaking, several other blacksmiths agreed.

To be honest, they have seen Li Wuchang's hard work these days. He is really a coolie. He has shoveled mud and pushed carts, and he has never complained of suffering.

It made everyone feel embarrassed, knowing that the young owner was really doing it for everyone's benefit, so they worked harder.

In fact, Li Wuchang is also idle and free, just helping out a few hands, and practicing his true energy by the way, this kind of work, for him, is not at all strenuous.

Li Wuchang laughed, and said: "That's fine, you guys start playing first, and rest for a while when you're tired, I'll go drink some tea first, this damn weather is probably going to be another year of severe drought."

After finishing speaking, he put down the shovel and came to the teahouse on the other side.

At this time, Jiang Minglun came over, holding a letter in his hand, and said solemnly: "Sir Leng, someone sent a letter to the owner's mansion, Aunt He received it, Aunt He said it was from Chang'an City, The sender of the letter was sneaky, and ran away as soon as he delivered it, without saying who sent it, only that it was very important and must be handed over to Lord Li."

Li Wuchang found the envelope, opened it, and found a small note and a copper coin inside.

"Be careful of killers these days!" Li Wuchang whispered out.

Jiang Minglun's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Young Master Leng, what's going on?"

Li Wuchang held the copper coin and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Minglun continued to ask: "Could it be that the remnants of the Fire Wolf Gang want to deal with Leng Shao, and if someone notices it, they will warn you?...Hmph, these guys, I don't think they have suffered enough, Jingzhao's chief rudder Being taken over, and the sub-helm of the Northland is about the same, if you want to make trouble, you are looking for death."

Li Wuchang shook his head, tossed the copper coin, and said: "The letter was sent by the money steward of our house."

After a pause, he continued: "It is estimated that my aunt wants to deal with me."

Jiang Minglun's face darkened, he knew the grievances between Li Wuchang and the Zhang family, and immediately said ruthlessly: "I guess she saw that you were awarded the title and made a name for yourself in Zhuangzi, and she was afraid that you would threaten your elder brother. position, what shall we do now?"

Li Wuchang sighed: "To be honest, I never thought about fighting with my elder brother... But since everyone has a grudge, we can only use soldiers to cover it up."

Jiang Minglun frowned and said: "Killer? That must not be a simple role, no, you have to bring Brother Xun back and protect you with me. I'll see if the killer will eat the bear's heart and leopard courage. If he dares to come, he must come." No return."

Li Wuchang shook his head, said: "There is only one thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a day before yesterday to guard against a thief."

Exhaling a breath, he continued: "Let's pretend that there is a killer staring at me in the dark, and we will play a game of hunter and prey with him."

Jiang Minglun frowned, not quite understanding.

Li Wuchang explained: "Now he is in the dark and I am in the light. He will definitely find the best opportunity to attack, then I will give him the best opportunity to attack and lure him out."

Jiang Minglun said: "Master Leng is saying that we purposely created the appearance that you are alone, while brother Xun and I hide in the dark, wait for that guy to come out, and then we have a three-sided attack?"

Li Wuchang looked aside, and said fiercely: "If you want to get rid of me secretly, then there will be no big disturbances. There should be one or several killers. Let's discuss a plan with Brother Xun, Changping and Haozi tonight. Be patient with these killers and see who is the prey."

Jiang Minglun nodded.

The next day, the plan began to be implemented.

Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun wandered around, looked here and there, and occasionally went to Lianpian Mountain to have a look, while Zhao Xun was still directing the road construction.

On the surface, Li Wuchang had only Jiang Minglun to protect him, and every time they entered the mountain, they would find a chance to separate for a while.

It's a pity that a few days passed, and there were many orders placed, but the killer never showed up.

However, Li Wuchang felt like he was being targeted, he didn't dare to relax at all, and he still followed the plan.

"Ming Lun, look, this land is the most suitable for growing medicinal materials." Li Wuchang collected a little soil and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Really, I can't see it, but you're amazing." Jiang Minglun looked around and curled his lips.

"Hey, I've been walking for a long time, let's take a break, is there any water?" Li Wuchang sat down and asked.

Jiang Minglun took out the bamboo tube, shook it, and said, "It's gone, why don't I go to the other side of the mountain to get some water? There is a stream over there."

Li Wuchang said: "I know that stream, but it's far away, why don't we go there together."

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "It's okay, the sun is so big, you can take a cool off for a while, we will go back after looking at a place."

After saying that, he left.

Li Wuchang was bored and hummed a little tune.

The sound of breaking wind rang, and Li Wuchang's heart was shocked.

Grandma, bear, is finally here.

It's been a few days.

"Master Li is very elegant, singing a ditty on this barren hill." It was a capable man with a scarred face, in his thirties, holding a long sword.

"Who are you?" Li Wuchang looked serious.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you are going to die." Scar said with a smile, looking up and down Li Wuchang with contempt in his eyes, as if he was massaging a dying chicken.

"Why did you kill me?" Li Wuchang forced himself to calm down, his voice trembling.

"For the sake of 4 taels of silver, this is still discounted." Scarface held the winning ticket and was quite patient.

"I am the Viscount, and my father is the commander of the imperial guards. If you kill me, the nine clans will be wiped out." Li Wuchang was still very scared, and wanted to use his identity to scare the other party.

"Don't worry, I will do it cleanly." Dao Scar said with a sinister smile, he had seen Li Wuchang's expression too much, and he was stern.

"Don't come here, I have help." Li Wuchang tremblingly said.

"Haha, I waited for a chance for several days. Your bodyguard is probably still on his way to fetch water for you. You said it yourself. The stream is far away, and I will kill you." It only takes a blink of an eye." Scarface laughed.

"Help!" Li Wuchang yelled at the top of his voice, and walked back in a hurry.

Scarface chased after him with a sinister smile, and said: "Don't run away, it's useless, I'm a seventh-rank master."

A sword came over.

Just when Li Wuchang was about to stab through with his sword, Li Wuchang suddenly turned his head, drew his sword and swung it out.

"when!"

The two fought hard.

Li Wuchang was shocked back a few steps, raised his knife and pointed at the opponent, his face was completely devoid of the frightened look just now.

Although Scarface was not shaken back, he was shocked.

Damn, the information is wrong.

This Li Wuchang has martial arts and is quite extraordinary.
