At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 39

The cold wind outside was howling, and some cold air, for some reason, came into the house, making Cheng De shiver all over.

At this time, Cheng De felt a little uncomfortable all over, his mouth and tongue were dry, and his forehead was hot.

He forced himself to get up, wrapped himself in the quilt, curled up, and leaned against the corner of the wall, as if he could get some warm comfort by doing so.

It never occurred to him that this happened to him all of a sudden.

Maybe he caught a cold while sleeping last night.

suddenly.

Someone from outside the door came to report, and Li Shanchang asked to see him.

Cheng De sent his servants to tell Li Shanchang to wait in the study.

After quickly getting dressed, Cheng De walked directly towards the study.

When Cheng Degang appeared in the study, Li Shanchang bowed quickly and said, "Meet the general!"

After closing the door.

Cheng De turned his head to look at Li Shanchang, with some doubts in his eyes, "Master Li, you came to me so early, did something happen?"

Li Shanchang's face was a bit serious, "General, the students arranged some people to buy chickens and ducks in the city of Haozhou for locust control. It turned out that most of the chickens and ducks in the city of Haozhou were killed by the Li family, the Chen family, the Song family, The Zheng family bought them. They only bought a hundred of them all day yesterday, which is far from enough."

When Cheng De heard this, his eyes dimmed.

"Master Li, what do you think these companies are buying chickens and ducks for?" Cheng De's eyes were cold.

When Li Shanchang heard this, his expression was startled, "General, you mean they--know about the locust control by chickens and ducks?"

Cheng De didn't respond immediately, but pondered for a while, "We were the only ones present at the time. Logically speaking, it is impossible for outsiders to know the purpose of our buying chickens and ducks. So, that is to say, these companies are secretly dealing with us. The Sizhou army is right."

At this time, Li Shanchang suddenly said: "General, there is something that I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Li Shanchang's troubled expression aroused Cheng De's curiosity.

Cheng De's voice was gentle: "Master Li, what do you know, just tell me!"

"Yes." Li Shanchang replied very loudly.

Cheng De sat down on the chair next to the desk, and Li Shanchang stood three steps away from the desk.

"According to the information received by the student's subordinates, Master Lu had a good chat with a scholar, Zheng Yuan, last night, and they talked all night. And this Zheng Yuan is from that Zheng's family." Having said this, Li Shanchang did not continue.

Cheng De looked at Li Shanchang, three points of scrutiny, five points of suspicion, and two points of anger.

This Li Shanchang, could it be that he is monitoring Lu Wubu?
Or is it that Li Shanchang wants to bring down Lu Yong, and then gain enough power from himself, so as to enjoy more power alone?

Looking at Li Shanchang's calm and calm appearance, Cheng De's expression was calm, his emotions were unclear.

The atmosphere became very quiet.

No one spoke.

soon.

Cheng De's tone turned cold: "Thinking about it, this matter has something to do with Master Lu. Let's write this matter down for the time being, and settle the account after Huai'an Road is taken down. I said that old man Zhang mentioned these black-hearted families yesterday. Lord, I felt something was wrong in my heart, and it turned out to be because of this."

"However——" Cheng De's voice dragged on a bit, "Master Li is responsible for this matter, otherwise I would not know that I was kept in the dark. I will write down the credit first. It's just that something happened at Master Lu's house. I don't know anything about it, but you Master Li knew it first, does it mean that there are still many things that I don't know about?"

Li Shanchang's face remained unchanged, revealing due fear, and replied in a low voice: "Students will never dare to lie to the general, and I hope the general will learn from him."

Cheng De's voice turned soft: "Of course I believe Master Li's words. However, how did Master Li know what happened at Master Lu's house by such a coincidence? Also, what happened in the General's Mansion is Wouldn't Master Li know about it immediately?"

Li Shanchang's complexion changed, and his face lost his composure.

"General, this matter - the student never monitored Mr. Lu, but the student's subordinates really found out by accident. I hope the general will find out." Li Shanchang bowed and bowed his head.

After staring at Li Shanchang for a while, Cheng De fell silent.

"Let's stop here. It's hard to be a family!" Cheng De sighed.

Li Shanchang couldn't figure out Cheng De's thoughts, so he continued to keep silent.

Cheng De seemed to have thought of something, and frowned: "Master Li, can the supplies for the march be properly arranged?"

Li Shanchang replied: "General, everything has been arranged."

Cheng De nodded sincerely, "You've worked hard on this matter, go down and get busy first. If Haozhou lacks chickens and ducks, you can buy them from Dingyuan, Sizhou, and Xuyi. As for the landlords in Haozhou City , Wait for a while, after Zhang Qijiu investigates clearly, all of theirs will be mine!"

Li Shanchang immediately bowed and replied: "Yes."

Seeing Li Shanchang's leaving back, Cheng De's eyes flickered a little.

Fighting openly and secretly, is there a sign of this now?
Cheng De's mood is very complicated.

What should come, will come sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, it came so early.

"Zhang Wusi!!" Cheng De shouted in a deep voice.

For a moment.

"General, your subordinates are here!" Zhang Wusi appeared in the study and bowed in salute.

"Go and find out if Master Lu invited a scholar named Zheng Yuan last night? Also, find out if Zheng Yuan is from the Zheng family? In addition, send someone to secretly watch Li Shanchang's house for three consecutive days. What Li Shanchang said, what he ate, and who he met with must be found out. Finally, the origin of each servant in the general's mansion should be investigated again, and no detail should be missed." Cheng De's tone was calm, his eyes A faint light flickered.

"Yes." Zhang Wusi replied loudly.

Cheng De immediately showed appreciation: "Go down and do your work first!"

After Zhang Wusi saluted Cheng De, he walked away quickly.

Originally planning to leave Haozhou City today, it seems that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Feeling that the hot forehead had not subsided, Cheng De felt a little depressed.

It is absolutely impossible to taboo diseases and avoid medical treatment.

"Come on, go to the city and invite a famous doctor." Cheng De rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired physically.

"Yes, General!" The person outside the door responded quickly.

"Cough cough—cough cough." Cheng De coughed several times in a row.

Gusts of cold wind entered the room from nowhere, and Cheng De felt his hands and feet were cold.

This ghostly weather is really frustrating!
I don't know where Feng Guoyong and Li Sanwu are now?
Hope everything goes well for them!
Perhaps, he was so exhausted that Cheng De fell asleep lying on his desk, his whole body curled up into a ball.

I do not know how long it has been.

When Cheng De woke up, he found himself lying on a bed.

"General—are you awake?" The voice revealed a bit of surprise.

With this familiar voice, Cheng De immediately thought of Ma Xiuying.

Turning his head to look, he found that it was really Ma Xiuying.

At this time, Ma Xiuying's face was a little haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen.

His expression was full of concern.

"You—why are you here?" Cheng De was a little stunned.

Ma Xiuying frowned, "If Guo Hui hadn't told me that the general was ill, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about it?"

Ma Xiuying's tone was a little sour, a little aggrieved, and a little worried.

Cheng De returned a wry smile, "By the way, how long have I been asleep?"

Ma Xiuying replied: "Two days!"

Cheng De was taken aback, "So long?"

Ma Xiuying gave Cheng De a blank look, "I've taken care of the general for two days, it won't be wrong."

Hearing Ma Xiuying's words, and seeing Ma Xiuying's appearance, Cheng De was a little moved.

"Thank you!" Cheng De smiled.

Ma Xiuying turned her head away, with a look of disappointment on her face, and said casually: "General, during your coma, you kept yelling "Mahuang Hou" in your mouth, a total of 370 nine times, such a person who never forgets must be very tall. Pretty, right?"

Cheng De was taken aback for a moment, seeing Ma Xiuying's obvious jealousy, Cheng De smiled.

Looking at Cheng De's attitude, Ma Xiuying couldn't help being a little angry, and felt even more disappointed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, she heard, "Queen Ma is you!"

Ma Xiuying turned her head and stared at Cheng De in disbelief, "Really?"

Cheng De nodded: "Of course it is true. After I rule the world, I will make you my queen. This is what I think in my heart."

When Ma Xiuying heard this, her face immediately turned red, "General, am I that good?"

Cheng De quickly replied, "It would be even better if we could get married earlier."

Ma Xiuying blushed, and said with a smile, "Glib."

In his heart, he was thinking, who is the Luo Yan that the general was talking about, and he shouted a full 380 times.

One more time than myself.

But the general said that after the unification of the world in the future, he would make himself a queen.

Even if it is fake, she is very happy.

Forget it, if the general is willing to say it, he will definitely say it later.

At least, she already knew that the general liked her.

"General, when you were asleep, two people often came to see you. It's just that they have already left Haozhou City."

Hearing Ma Xiuying's words, Cheng De knew that the two must be Li Sanqi and Deng Youde.

"Well, I see." Cheng De replied.

"Is your adoptive father's funeral finished?" Cheng De asked suddenly.

Ma Xiuying nodded, "It's over, I also told Brother Tianxu, and I will live with peace of mind in the future."

"Then after I take down Huai'an Road, let's get married in Sizhou City!" Cheng De said to Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying nodded, her ears turned red.

"I'm hungry!" Cheng De said.

"Then I'll feed you!" Ma Xiuying replied.

Afterwards, Ma Xiuying picked up a bowl of white rice porridge, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, and sent it to Cheng De's mouth.

spoonful after spoonful.

Time is passing slowly.

The room was very quiet and warm, and Cheng De enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

Seeing Ma Xiuying feeding herself rice porridge, Cheng De was very happy.

It's nice that someone cares.

At this moment, Ma Xiuying suddenly said: "The doctor said that the general needs to rest for a few days and should not be overworked."

Cheng De was silent.

He carefully felt the condition of his body, and he had basically recovered.

Waiting for tomorrow, he will lead his troops to wipe out Liu Ju, that green forest thief.

Then, move around Chuzhou City to attract the attention of the Yuan army.

Putting aside these thoughts, Cheng De looked at Ma Xiuying and said: "Tomorrow, I will lead my troops to leave Haozhou City. After I leave, you will move to the General's Mansion. It will be safe to live here, and I can rest assured."

Ma Xiuying suddenly fell silent.

a long time.

"Well, I agree." Ma Xiuying said.

Cheng De immediately relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
