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

Chapter 86
The next day.

Cheng De fell asleep until he woke up naturally.

When he woke up, Cheng De found that the sun was already high.

Ma Xiuying beside her had already woken up.

At this time, she did not see herself.

After Cheng De cleaned up briefly, he went straight out of his courtyard.

From now on, this courtyard will be the place where he and Ma Xiuying rest together.

Stand in the middle of the courtyard.

Cheng De's thoughts wandered.

"Brother De, are you feeling bored again?"

Ma Xiuying's voice from behind gave Cheng De a hard time.

After turning around.

Seeing Ma Xiuying's radiant appearance, Cheng De couldn't help being taken aback.

Staring at Ma Xiuying obsessively.

This made Ma Xiuying shy.

"Brother De—" Ma Xiuying said angrily.

Cheng De stabilized his mind, and then said awkwardly: "Sister Xiuying, you are so good-looking, I couldn't help but look at it more."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying blushed and said, "Brother De, you're not serious again."

Cheng De had no choice but to change the subject and said, "What were you up to in the morning?"

Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes before lazily saying, "Secret."

Cheng De smiled and said, "You -- I don't know what to say."

Immediately, Ma Xiuying said seriously: "Brother De, you should go to work first. Just now, when I passed by your study, I found several people waiting there outside."

Cheng De's face was stagnant, and he said with a straight face: "Okay. Then I will go to work. Don't work too hard, take a good rest today. No matter what the job is, leave it to the servants."

Hearing Cheng De's firm tone, Ma Xiuying nodded and said, "Okay, I see, Brother De, go get busy first!"

Cheng De glanced at Ma Xiuying, then turned and walked towards the study.

Ma Xiuying looked at Cheng De's back with a sweet smile on her face.

When Cheng De came outside the study, he saw a familiar figure and three other strange Sizhou Army soldiers.

The familiar figure did not expect to be Sapphire.

Regarding Lan Yu's coming here, Cheng De decided to inquire about it later.

He had told Fang Ming to discipline Lan Yu well.

Logically speaking, Sapphire should not have come here.

Presumably, there is really something going on.

"Greetings, General!" Everyone bowed quickly when they saw Cheng De's figure.

Cheng De waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite. You all follow me to the study to discuss matters!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng De walked straight towards the study.

Lan Yu and three Sizhou Army soldiers followed closely behind.

Inside the study.

Cheng De sat down at his desk.

After looking around at everyone, Cheng De said calmly, "Lanyu, didn't you stay in Huai'an City? Why did you come back to Sizhou City? I asked Fang Ming to teach you. Did you learn something so quickly? "

When Lan Yu heard this, her expression turned bitter, and she hurriedly said: "The general misunderstood."

"Oh——if you can't explain why, I'll ask your brother-in-law to come back and beat you up." Cheng De turned cold and said.

Lan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when she thought of Chang Yuchun's fist, she was terrified.

So, Lan Yu explained: "General, I came here under the orders of General Li and Master Fang."

"Really? They asked you to come over—" Cheng De looked at Sapphire with scrutiny.

Lan Yu replied: "Let me first talk about the matter that Li Pian asked me to come."

Cheng De didn't reply immediately, but waited for Lan Yu to continue talking.

"Li Pianjiang asked me to tell the general that Huai'an Road has been cleared. Moreover, Zhou Dexing has been arranged by him to serve as the guard in the camp opposite Andong Prefecture. Besides——" Lan Yu paused, quietly observing Cheng De's situation With a look on his face, he continued: "General Li said that he would give the general a wedding gift, so he personally led troops across the river at night and attacked Andong City. The Yuan army in Andong City was defeated, and our Sizhou Army took Andong City by chance. .”

Cheng De was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes were overjoyed.

"What you said is true?" Cheng De asked Lan Yu.

Lan Yu nodded: "Li Pianjiang is resourceful, and Lan Yu admires him. Li Pianjiang took down Andong Prefecture in the first battle, and he also took down the five ports near Andong Prefecture."

Cheng De said with a smile: "Li Sanqi, you really did a good job."

"Aside from this, is there anything else?" Cheng De looked at Sapphire with a smile on his face.

Lan Yu replied without hesitation: "Also, about the collection of books that the general mentioned before, Lan Yu has shipped back several boxes of books under the order of General Li. Now, these books have been led by Song Zan to the general's mansion in the library."

Cheng De: "Very good. This matter is well done. These are all the words Li Sanqi asked you to bring. What about Fang Ming?"

Lan Yu pondered for a moment before she spoke: "Master Fang asked Lan Yu to tell the general that the salt field has been controlled by our Sizhou City. However, this time, many people were killed, and some scholars may be offended. So Master Fang is worried that these scholars will become enemies with our Sizhou Army in the future. By the way, this is the list of those scholars that Master Fang mentioned."

Saying that, Lan Yu took out a booklet from her arms and handed it to Cheng De.

Cheng De took it, only browsed it briefly, and said calmly: "Fang Ming has done a good job in this matter. It is wishful thinking for these scholars to take revenge on our Sizhou Army. Leave these scholars to me." It's dealt with. When you go back, bring him a message to reassure him that he doesn't have to worry about the revenge of these scholars."

Sapphire nodded: "Yes."

"By the way, Master Fang also said that he has sealed all the income from these saltworks and put them in the register. He will send people to Sizhou City one after another. A large amount of gold, silver and jewels were found in the Mafu of Andong Prefecture, and they have already sent people to transport them back to Sizhou City. At this moment, they are already on their way!" Sapphire added, patting her forehead.

Cheng De said softly: "Yes. I know about this."

"What about you?" Cheng De said, looking at the other three soldiers of the Sizhou Army.

One of them took the lead and said: "General, I am sent by Feng Baihu from Dingyuan - there is an urgent military situation."

Cheng De's face suddenly turned serious, and he looked at this person and said, "What is the military emergency?"

"Feng Baihu sent a large number of scouts, scattered around Dingyuan. Some scouts from the direction of Hefei reported that the Yuan army in the direction of Hefei has changed recently, and troops have been dispatched frequently."

Cheng De's complexion changed.

What should come, can't hide after all.

"Well. I already know about this. Besides, Feng Guoyong led his troops to Dingyuan last night. Go down and have a good rest." Cheng De urged.

"Yes." The Sizhou Army soldier bowed and replied, and then exited the study.

Cheng De looked at the remaining two Sizhou soldiers.

The two looked at each other.

One of them said, "General, I was sent by Mr. Deng."

Cheng De's eyes lit up, and he said seriously: "But Jinhu City was taken?"

"Yes. Lord Deng said that this is a big gift from him and Chang Xianfeng to the general's wedding." The soldier replied.

"Okay, Deng Youde and Chang Yuchun really lived up to my expectations!" Cheng De said happily.

However, the soldier continued: "My lord, in the battle of Jinhu City, Lord Deng was resourceful, while Chang Xianfeng took the lead and was brave and fearless. Our army's morale was strong, so we won Jinhu City in the first battle. But in this battle, Chang Xianfeng, But he was seriously injured. Now, Chang Xianfeng is recuperating in Jinhu City. According to Chang Xianfeng, the general who guards Hongze City needs another person from the general to guard it."

Cheng De frowned, and his eyes showed a trace of worry: "How is Chang Xianfeng's condition? Can you ask a doctor for treatment?"

"I hope the general knows that after Chang Xianfeng was seriously injured, Mr. Deng sent someone to invite all the doctors in the city to see him. They all said that Chang Xianfeng needs to rest for a while. As for the injury, it has been stabilized with the joint efforts of all the doctors." Soldier replied.

When Lan Yu heard this, her tense little face suddenly relaxed secretly.

And Cheng De also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chang Xianfeng will stay in Jinhu City to recuperate for the time being. As for the guard of Hongze City, you will make another trip, expediting [-] miles, to Huai'an City, and He Sanwu will take over as the guard of Hongze City. This time, you have worked hard to run It's been a while." Cheng De said to the soldiers of the Sizhou Army in front of him with a gentle expression.

"Yes." The soldier replied loudly, with excitement in his eyes.

Looking at the backs of Sizhou Army soldiers leaving in a hurry, Cheng De shifted his gaze to the last soldier.

After noticing Cheng De's gaze, the soldier quickly said, "Report to General, I was sent by Master Yang from Haozhou."

Cheng De fixed his eyes, looked at the soldiers and said, "Did something happen over there in Haozhou?"
