My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 130
"Brother Ergou, our people have all gone up the mountain. What are we going to eat and drink from now on?" In Qian County, as Lu Xuan's order was decentralized to Shangyang counties, the governors in various places began to evacuate in a planned way to nearby prepared places. Copycat.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. The Commander-in-Chief has his own way of solving the problem. Just follow orders!" Ergou waved his hand and signaled his men to withdraw quickly. He had absolute confidence in Lu Xuan's judgment, and he had experienced it countless times in the past. Proved this.

He looked at the empty county government office, feeling somewhat reluctant to give up.

"Taoist Master, we've almost evacuated, let's go." After gathering their emotions, Ergou came to the gate of the county government office and saw Zhang Yuanrou with her back to him.

"I want to leave." Zhang Yuanrou raised her chin.

When Ergou heard this, he looked outside the door and saw a large crowd of people gathering in the dark outside the county government office. All pairs of eyes were looking at him eagerly.

"What's wrong? I've never tricked you before. Why are you blocking the door?" Ergou shouted with a frown.

"Chen Dutong, are you... leaving?" an old man looked at Ergou and asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ergou felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

"These days in Qianxian County, you are the most comfortable I have ever been. The brothers of the Guiyi Church did not bully us. Now that you are gone, we are here to see you off. In addition, there is some food here. You are hungry on the way. eat."

"Yes, Chen Dutong, here are the pancakes my man just made. They are delicious."

"Uncle Ergou, can you not leave?"

Ergou has lived for so many years, and this is the first time he has been supported by someone like this. His heart is numb, and he doesn't know what it feels like.

"Guangguangguan, I still don't have enough food for you guys? Get out of the way. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming. I will be the first to die. You don't want to harm me, do you!?" Ergou felt a little sour in his nose. Cursing, he took a piece of pancake from the basket, took a big bite and said, "Get out of here, don't make me mad!"

The crowd silently made way for them, and Ergou and his men walked silently out of the city. On both sides of the official road, there were crowds of people watching them silently.

From time to time, someone stuffed food on the rebels.

"This is probably the most difficult road I will take in my life!" After leaving the city, Ergou stuffed the last bit of pancake into his mouth and let out a fierce breath.

"It shows that you are a good official." Zhang Yuanrou felt the same way.

"But I didn't do anything. I was just minding other people's business." Ergou got on his horse and said.

"To the common people, an official who doesn't torment others casually is considered a good official. What's more, during this period, you have helped a lot of people and divided their fields." Zhang Yuanrou looked at the roadside and stopped from time to time to watch them leave. The people of Qian County have been in Shangyang County for a while. Although Lu Xuan's people are full of gangsterism, they have never done anything to harm the people.

Shangyang County's fortune has been booming during this period, and from the looks of it, the people really accept them.

"What will happen to them if we leave?" Ergou couldn't help but look back at the distant city.

"What else can be done? Just like before, if the land is cultivated, the officials of the imperial court will not take it back immediately." Zhang Yuanrou recalled what Lu Xuan said and sighed: "But it will definitely be taken back in the end."

After all, if Lu Xuan did this, even if the imperial court regained the city territory, if they didn't want to cause public resentment to boil over immediately, they wouldn't dare to go too far and would have to be soft-spoken.

In fact, for the imperial court, it was best to follow Lu Xuan's policy, which was equivalent to picking the fruits of Lu Xuan's work.

But that's impossible.

Even if the local county magistrate is willing, there are so many officials up and down who don't care about your situation here. If the tribute is not paid in place, they will knock you down in minutes.

In order to keep the black gauze hat, we have to find ways to put the shackles on the people's necks again.

Even if there are occasional people who are unwilling to join in, it is just one more county magistrate who has been dismissed. There are many things that you are not willing to do, but there are many people who are willing to do them.

"We have no chance of winning at all?" Ergou asked unwillingly. He just felt a little like a parent, especially when those pair of eager eyes looked at him, he really softened his heart.

"You know better than I do about your governor. Do you think he will give up if there is hope?" Zhang Yuanrou glanced at him and said, "You don't even need a fifth-grade action. Those masters under him can save your governor's hard work." The family fortune is completely ruined."

Ergou was silent when he heard this. He naturally knew Lu Xuan's character very well. He would not hesitate at all when he thought it was time to give up. It's just that this person is not a ruthless person. Ergou actually enjoyed being truly loved by the people. a feeling of.

"Okay, let's not forget my mother-in-law. I have other places to go. You can handle the rest by yourself." Zhang Yuanrou threw the wine gourd and jumped onto Huludao.

"Thank you, Taoist priest!" Ergou hugged his fists towards Zhang Yuanrou and watched Zhang Yuanrou fly away.

……

Sanyang County, Lu Mansion.

"I have been with all the beauties for many days, and I am very reluctant to leave you." Lu Xuan put a few boxes on the table, looked at Liu Yiyi and several other beauties in front of him, and said with a smile: "But all the feasts in the world must come to an end. , it’s time for us to say goodbye. These are some of Lu’s thoughts. Let’s take them. Whether it’s good or returning to a brothel, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a peaceful place with this money and spend the rest of our lives richly.”

"Commander Commander, you don't want us anymore?" The little oiran looked at Lu Xuan with tears in his eyes.

"What do you want? We are all children of the world. Don't say such things." Lu Xuan touched the head of the little oiran and said with a smile: "Live well. If one day I come back and want to come to my place, I will raise you." You." "Can't the Commander-in-Chief take us with him?" the little oiran said reluctantly.

"People will die, even me. Are you sure you want to follow?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

The little oiran stopped talking. It's a business of selling smiles at the door. Even if you are tempted, you will rarely be really emotional.

"Let's go!" Lu Xuan pointed to the small boxes on the table and said with a smile: "All my belongings are here. The things inside are of similar value. One for each person. Don't grab them."

"Commander, the slave family will miss you." The little oiran picked up a box and looked at Lu Xuan sadly.

"Me too! Let's go." Lu Xuan nodded.

The little oiran turned around silently, secretly opened the box and took a look, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and his pace became faster.

Seeing someone taking the lead, the other women stepped forward one by one, picked up the box, turned and left, and soon only Liu Yiyi was left. She had a smile on her face and did not look at the last box. She just looked at Lu Xuan and said: "The Commander-in-Chief is not there." Not giving up at all.”

"It must be a bit, after all, love grows over time." Lu Xuan pointed at the box and smiled: "But this is a deal, isn't it? I was greedy and lustful, and paid my property in exchange for your company for many days. Now I have no money. It’s not good for everyone to continue working for nothing, just take the money and leave, that’s reasonable, right?”

"It's very reasonable. The commander-in-chief is also a generous man." Liu Yiyi said with emotion.

"It's getting late, Madam, hurry up and find a way to make a living. This Sanyang County will be occupied by officers and soldiers before long. It won't be good to have anything to do with me by then." Lu Xuan urged.

"I don't want this." Liu Yiyi shook her head.

"That's it, no more." Lu Xuan shook his head.

"I don't want money."

"I can't give you anything other than money." Lu Xuan said calmly.

"I know, but I still want to go with the Commander-in-Chief." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

"It's too troublesome, both for you and me. Madam, why don't you be more frank and make a price." Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yiyi.

"In the three-pronged army that the imperial court conquered this time, Xie Xiong and Murong Ke represented the Xie family and the Murong family respectively. As for Yuwen Tong, who was responsible for attacking this route, although he was considered to be from a noble family, he should basically belong to the Qing faction or the imperial party. "Liu Yiyi did not answer, but talked about the three families that sent troops this time.

"I admire you for your thoughtfulness, Madam." Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yiyi with some surprise. He had only mentioned a few words to Liu Yiyi about these things, but this woman actually linked them together.

"I do know more. Coupled with Dutong's occasional words and his sudden retreat today, it's not difficult to guess." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

"What are you talking about, madam?" Lu Xuan asked, rubbing his temples.

"I just want to prove that I have other uses besides making the governor happy." Liu Yiyi looked at Lu Xuandao seriously.

"For example?" Lu Xuan asked.

"I know most of the families in the imperial court, and I should be of some use to the governor." Liu Yiyi didn't say anything about saving her life. This kind of thing requires Lu Xuan to recognize it. If Lu Xuan didn't say anything, she took the initiative to propose it. , you will only ask for trouble.

"Although I don't know Madam's past background, I think it's fair to assume that she has nowhere to go?" Lu Xuan asked doubtfully.

"If you really have a place to go, how can you fall into the dust?" Liu Yiyi said with a wry smile.

"Commander, everything is ready." Li Xingzhi came in with Xiaobai and Li Fu and saluted Lu Xuan.

"Let's go!" Lu Xuan nodded, turned around and left.

Liu Yiyi did not hesitate and followed quickly. Li Xingzhi glanced at Lu Xuan when he saw this, and seeing that he didn't respond, he didn't say much, and the group left the house.

Just like Qian County, a lot of people have gathered outside the mansion, led by Pei Ruhai and his party.

"Commander, are you leaving?" Pei Ruhai said with regret, "I wonder how to contact the Commander in the future?"

"Why, before I leave, the Pei family leader is already thinking about the merits of the imperial court?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

"How dare you?" Pei Ruhai was startled and said in panic.

"If we are destined, we will meet again." Lu Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "When the time comes, the head of the Pei family must not say that he does not recognize me."

"Don't dare, don't dare. Pei has always admired heroic figures like the Commander-in-Chief." Pei Ruhai said quickly.

"Let's go. There should be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Lu Xuan got on his horse, glanced at the faces of Pei Ruhai and his group, smiled, led the men and horses to separate the crowd, and walked away...
