Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 149 Han Anniang’s worries about gains and losses
On the other side, Qingting County.

Bai Su was so humiliated in Pingting County, so he naturally told Yuan Youchun what happened during the day.

"How dare he be so arrogant?" Yuan Youchun frowned.

"Isn't it? He didn't take you seriously at all, General. He said that Commander He should die, even if he is your adopted son, General. And when we left, the spies you arranged in Pingting County were also arrested by Chen Mo's men will be shot to death with one arrow." Bai Sui said hurriedly.

"boom!"

Yuan Youchun slapped the table in front of him hard, and the table immediately broke into two halves. The waiters were so frightened that they did not dare to keep silent. It was not until Yuan Youchun raised his hand to signal that they withdrew.

"A bastard who wagged his tail and begged his commander to take him in, now dares to bite his master. Do you really think that because his commander took him in, he can be on an equal footing with me?"

Yuan Youchun was furious. From his understanding, the other party was just a brat who was still young, but his Hujie Army numbered tens of thousands, and the Qingzhou Army was defeated by them. He had also been a sixth-grade warrior for nearly ten years. , that boy actually dared not to take him seriously, it was really irritating.

Seeing the general's anger, Bai Su, who wanted to wash away his humiliation, immediately said harshly: "This kid is so rampant, it's time for the general to give him some color."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.

But at this time Yuan Youchun was silent again.

According to the news from Pingting County reported by previous spies, Chen Mo recently formed a garrison of several thousand people. Although Yuan Youchun was not afraid, after all, he had never lost a battle so far, but the opponent held the city and defended it. If so, without the help of others, he would still have to pay a certain amount of casualties even if he defeated the enemy with the Tiger Army in his hands.

If the gain outweighs the loss, he may be labeled as cannibalistic, and he will not be able to explain it to his superiors.

However, he would definitely not tolerate this tone. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "You should set off for Xia Lin immediately. Tell Qu Shuai what happened recently and let Qu Shuai make the decision."

He had surrendered to Yang Minggui early on and made him his godfather. He was also quite senior in the Tianshi Army. He was confident that Yang Minggui would favor him.

"No." Bai Su responded quickly and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute, tell Shuai Qu about the fine salt."

Yuan Youchun knew that Yang Minggui needed money to build the palace, and he could use this to increase his bargaining chip.

……

in the dark.

Han Aniang stood up and knelt down in front of Chen Mo. After thinking for a while, she took off the little clothes she had just put on, revealing the tube top underneath.

It was still so muggy tonight, the windows inside were not opened, and the room was like a steamer.

Han Anniang had a plump figure and was most afraid of heat. Her whole body was covered with a layer of sweat, as if she had been smeared with essential oil. She took off her tube top again by the warm light from the window.
Han Anniang's face was slightly red, and her hair was flowing down like waves. She raised her hand to hook the hair around her ears, then held her broad chest and placed it on the
"call"

Chen Mo, who was thinking about something, took a breath and looked down. He saw that the handle was covered by his sister-in-law's capital. Looking at his sister-in-law who was busy, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle, you don't like it?" Han Aniang noticed the change in Chen Mo's eyes, raised his head and whispered.

"No, it's just that, sister-in-law, there is something different about you tonight."

Not only was it different, he found that his sister-in-law worked particularly hard tonight. No matter what kind of project he wanted to experience, she tried her best to satisfy him and even showed initiative.

Han An's face turned red and her delicate body trembled: "What's different?"

"Sister-in-law is particularly flattering to me tonight." Chen Mo stood up and pulled Han Anniang up to sit up to prevent her from being overloaded and tired. Chen Mo reached out to support her, and then asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Under Chen Mo's constant questioning, Han Aniang hugged Chen Mo and spoke with red eyes.

In the final analysis, Han Anniang was jealous.

Because Chen Mo had to go to bed in the Yamen every two days, and she heard that the two bed-warming maids beside Chen Mo were particularly beautiful, she was afraid that they would take away Chen Mo's love from her.

That's why she used this method tonight to increase the proportion of her in Chen Mo's heart and make him more nostalgic for her.

Chen Mo patted him on the back to comfort him: "Fool, in my heart, you are the most important. No one can compare with you. You don't need to be jealous of anyone."

Although Chen Mo said something like this more than once, and Han Aniang heard it more than once, this fear of losing Chen Mo always lingered in her heart.

The main reason for this kind of emotion is inferiority.

She is just a country woman, and she has been married before, not a newbie, but Chen Mo has become stronger and stronger step by step, his status has become more and more noble, and he is respected by thousands of people.

The gap between the two parties is getting bigger and bigger, and she can only stand still, but there are many temptations around Chen Mo. Even the daughter of a noble family can only be a concubine. How can she compare?

She was worried that sooner or later she would be disliked by Chen Mo, so she could only do her best to please him. In order to make Chen Mo feel that she could help him, she worked hard to overcome her social fear and set up a textile factory.

"Uncle." Han Aniang took the initiative to kiss Chen Mo with an indescribable intimacy. She put her hands on the young man's shoulders, then hugged his head and pressed his head down little by little.

Until she felt a warm feeling on her neck and collarbone, Han Anniang's cheeks were as red as clouds, extending to her earlobes. They were white and rosy, and moist, as if they were moistened to her pores.When the other person was leaning against her chest, Han Aniang lowered her head and whispered, "Is it big?"

Chen Mo: "..."

This night, Han Anniang was like a female warrior, tireless.

……

Two days later.

Hu Qiang came back, just as Chen Mo expected. After reading the letter, Yang Minggui declined politely, saying that the Tianshi military family had a great cause and needed money everywhere, allowing Chen Mo to overcome the difficulties on his own.

When Hu Qiang proposed to buy red copper, Yang Minggui indeed increased the price. The price of buying red copper per kilogram was 20.00% higher than the market price, but Yang Minggui was exempted from the money Chen Mo needed to pay to build the palace. .

Chen Mo asked Hu Qiang what Xia Lin's current situation was.

Hu Qiang said: "Yang Minggui recruited tens of thousands of civilians to build it. The forest outside Xialin City has been cut down, and he is not expanding, but planning to build a new palace.

I heard someone said that the palace he plans to build is called the Palace of the Heavenly King. The palace has more than ten miles of walls, several feet high, and is divided into two layers, the inside and the outside. It also has a rockery, a forest garden, and a bridal chamber with curved railings, which is as good as the Immortal Cave House. "

"Hiss." Zhao Daoxian took a breath after hearing this, and said in a daze: "How much money will this cost?"

"That's not all. I saw that his kitchen chef used twenty pieces of gold to prepare delicacies on land and water. The joints of wine glasses were all inlaid with gold. I heard that the wash basins were all made of jade basins." Hu Qiang said. .

"This is too extravagant." Zhao Daoxian frowned. As a scholar, he felt very unhappy.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Almost the entire Northland has been defeated by the Heavenly Master Army, and there has been no war for a long time. Why don't we just enjoy it?"

It's just that this laughter is a bit sarcastic.

"Have you ever seen the military camp?" Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Hu Qiang suddenly started talking and said: "The Tianshi Army in the military camp does not need to train at all. They invite prostitutes from the city to the military camp every now and then. That is called cool. Their military camp is not There is a ban on alcohol. On the day I arrived, I drank all night long."

After saying that, Hu Qiang licked his lips with a hint of envy in his expression. It was obvious that he had enjoyed it at that time.

Zhang He slapped Hu Qiang on the back of the head and said, "If the soldiers don't train, they won't be able to fight in a war. You don't want to fool the county magistrate."

"No, what I said is true."

"Why, looking at your envious look, you don't want to vote for him, do you?" Zhang He said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Hu Qiang was startled and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Chen Mo: "I am loyal to Master Chen Xian. Those Tianshi Army soldiers are just a group of thieves. On the day I arrived, I saw them plundering women and property with my own eyes. And their leaders are conniving, I can’t stand it.”

"That's strange." Zhao Daoxian let out a cry of surprise and said, "If the Heavenly Master Army allowed its subordinates to harm the people and rob women and property, how did they grow so big?"

In this regard, Chen Mo had some speculations in his mind. The reason why the Tianshi Army was able to grow in the early stage and become unstoppable all the way was because the purpose of the uprising was in line with the expectations of the people at the bottom.

Later, the army grew stronger, and the good and the bad were mixed. This was due to the indulgence after the city was broken, and the execution of military orders was relaxed, which made some people indulge in the pleasure of plundering.

Like a wild horse running wild, it will be difficult to restrain it later.

Now that the war has stopped, this kind of robbery is gone. If we forcefully restrain them now, it will be counterproductive, so we can only condone it.

However, Chen Mo did not say anything, but looked at Hu Qiang.

Extravagance can blind a person's mind.

It seems that Hu Qiang cannot be sent next time. Then something like what Zhang He said might happen.

Hu Qiang did not notice this, but said: "By the way, Master Chen, when I came back, I saw people from the Hujie Army on the road, riding fast horses, running very fast, I don't know what happened? "

"What, Hujie Army? Are they going to Xia Lin?" Zhao Daoxian was shocked when he heard this.

"Looking at the direction, it should be going to Xia Lin." Hu Qiang asked doubtfully: "What, something happened?"

Zhao Daoxian did not answer, but looked at Chen Mo: "County magistrate, it seems that Yuan Youchun really went to Xia Lin to report the news."

Hu Qiang was a little confused.

Zhang He told Hu Qiang what happened recently, and the latter finally understood.

Hu Qiang's face was a little solemn: "Could Yuan Youchun want Yang Minggui to send troops to attack us?"

"This is unlikely. The high probability is that Yang Minggui will put pressure on us and demand compensation." Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately had an idea in his mind. Instead of paying money to Yuan Youchun, it would be better.
