Then he took out an arrow and broke it in half.

Only now did Huang Zuo feel completely relieved, and he immediately kneeled down. "Sinner Huang Zuo has resisted Wang Shi for many years, and today, I am here to seek your forgiveness."

Wang Gui personally held him up and passed him an official order: "The Yue Xiang Gong has an order, the first step of descending is your great contribution, the title will be given to you as a stage 7 martial arts doctor."

After receiving the official notification, Huang Zuo was even more relieved, and a happy expression appeared on his face. Thus, Wang Gui returned to Tan Zhou with him.

When the army reached Tan Zhou, it was already noon. The army camp had made a special space for Huang Zuo's team to rest and also provided food and tea. Huang Zuo was led to the big tent by Wang Gui, where he saw a large general dressed entirely in military uniform, sitting in the middle with an extremely mighty appearance. He immediately knelt down, "Sinner Huang Zuo greets Yue Xiang Gong."

Yue Pengju said: "Since Doctor Wu Yi has already pledged his allegiance to the imperial government, then he should not be called a sinner."

After the visit, Yue Pengju went to comfort the soldiers. He rode alone, unarmed. Everyone tried to persuade him, so Li Ruoxu said, "Pengju must not take such risks lightly. Previously, there was already a who faked defeat and killed three officials of the Imperial Court. In order to prevent any unexpected changes, it's best to be prepared. "

Yue Pengju said resolutely: "I can only watch a group of downtrodden soldiers, they are all people who have good intentions and no way out, they are definitely not evil people."

Everyone could not persuade him, and looked at Hua Rong. However, Hua Rong laughed: "To be honest, I have been looking at the troops the entire way. Seeing that they are just ordinary people, everyone does not need to worry. "Since this is the beginning of submission, we have to be honest with each other, so that others will sincerely submit to us."

She did not say a word. In fact, compared to most of the soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, these people could not see any traces of tigers or wolves. If they didn't have no other choice, who would be willing to become a bandit?

When the crowd heard her words, they did not try to persuade her anymore, so Yue Pengju went to Huang Zuo's army alone. Hua Rong was still worried about his husband's safety, so she followed him quietly.

The troops were surprised to see that the commander had come alone. Yue Pengju walked to the center of the soldiers and everyone kneeled down to kowtow. Yue Pengju said loudly, "Everyone, no need to be so courteous. lower official is also a son of a peasant family, and has been poor since a young age. However, clock phase Yang Me used his demonic technique to tempt you to fight against the imperial government, and also colluded with them. Now that the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains had fallen, all the people of Da Song were in pain. In the future, the Wang Shi will head north, and in order to restore your potential, you will be considered a truly good men. "

He also announced that each person would be given a two-point copper coin. Everyone was happy and extremely grateful to the marshal.

The only thing he wanted to do was to subdue this army. In the future, he would go north and fight with the Great Jinguo and the Fourth Prince, and only then would he have the true value of today's civil war.

That night, Yue Pengju arranged a banquet to celebrate for Li Yu and.

Halfway through the alcohol, Yue Pengju came over to Huang Zuo's side and sat down beside him. According to the habit of being intimate with him, he stroked Huang Zuo's back and said: "lower official wishes to send you back to the lake for peace.

Huang Zuo was very excited and immediately said: "I am only willing to be driven by Yue Xiang Gong."

Yue Pengju then laughed, "water stronghold Zhou Lun has betrayed his trust multiple times and has killed three government officials in succession. Your water stronghold and Zhou Lun look to the north and south. If you can catch them unawares and break through the water stronghold, you will be performing meritorious deeds for the imperial government. "

Huang Zuo immediately accepted the order.

The next day, Huang Zuo led the thousand over people from the headquarters to leave Yue Pengju's camp and return to water stronghold. Before leaving, Yue Pengju personally saw him off. Wang Gui and the others also suggested that they should send officer army warriors to accompany them so that they could monitor the situation. Yue Pengju answered: "I don't think so, but I don't think so."

After Huang Zuo returned to the water stronghold, he immediately ordered his troops to be deployed there. On the third night, he sent out his troops. He personally led the water stronghold's 16 warships and headed straight for the water stronghold, shouting out: "We are willing to work with Brother Zhou to defeat the army."

Zhou Lun was caught off guard. After a crushing defeat, he had only led a few people to escape.

After Yue Pengju received his report, he was immediately promoted to the position of Huang Zuo Martial Doctor.

After Zhou Lun's water stronghold was lost, Yue Pengju immediately sent Xu Qing and Huang Zuo to seal the Cyan Grass Lake, and completely controlled the exit of the cave.

After breaching and breaking through the water stronghold, Yue Pengju once again stopped his military actions, and only sent his men to gather security in the various water stronghold s. There were many limitations to the history of uprising farmers. Often, the leaders who gained huge economic benefits were soon corrupted and turned into the new landlords and gentry. They didn't have much motivation to go forward. It was the same for Yang Me and the others. They had already lived the life of a tyrant for six years and had been living the life of a local tyrant in the cave courtyard. Especially since the previous officer army didn't have much ability and was forced to retreat time and time again, thinking that he was number one under the heavens.

Yue Pengju intentionally gathered information, and upon learning the situation of Yang Me and the others, he became very happy, and even did not move an inch, waiting for the recruitment to proceed further.

On this day, the couple went out to check out the terrain. From afar, they heard the melodious sound of the zither coming from outside the door. The two exchanged glances, both extremely surprised.

According to the customs of the time, there were many families in the army, and the generals usually rented houses outside the barracks. For the sake of convenience, Yue Pengju and her wife also rented a room in a courtyard house with Zhang Xian and the other family members. At this time, Hua Rong could clearly hear that the zither music was coming from right in front of his house.

She could not help but increase her pace. Just as she entered the door, she saw Sis GaoSi welcoming her with a smile, but when she saw Hua Rong, she became slightly uneasy and only said: "Madame Yue …."

After Hua Rong greeted her, she immediately saw that in her own courtyard, a lady carrying a lute had slowly stood up, curling up into a bow: "Greetings Madam, greetings Yue Xiang Gong."

Hua Rong saw that the lady had a pretty face but was dressed very elegantly. With the Jing Chai cloth skirt s, she looked very gentle and elegant when she smiled, with her delicate fingers.

Yue Pengju was also very curious, who was this woman? Why was he home?

The couple was still in shock when an eunuch walked over with a smile. "Shangguan Family understands that Yue Xiang Gong has spent a lot of effort to kill the enemy and sent someone here to comfort them …" He looked at Hua Rong and said softly, "The empress dowager has a message to send to you as well …"

Hua Rong's expression changed slightly as she took a step forward. After hearing his words in a low voice, her expression became even uglier.

Yue Pengju was curious about the changes, and did not notice his wife's change in expression. When he looked at his wife, Hua Rong's complexion had already become completely normal, he only said calmly: "Since that is the case, let us settle down this young lady first."

The woman bowed slightly: "Servant is willing to serve Madam and Yue Xiang Gong."

At this time, Yue Pengju also somewhat understood that this woman was something like a concubine bestowed to him by the emperor. Just as he was about to reject, Hua Rong said indifferently: "Since it's a long journey, why not settle down for the time being, we can talk about it in the future."

Hearing his wife's words, Yue Pengju did not speak anymore.

Li Qiaoniang bowed again. She was only 18 or 19 years old, she was extremely quick-witted and did not have the slightest bit of delicacy in her body. After putting down her pipa, she did not wait for her servants and immediately placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, treating her well.

Because of this, the stranger Yue Pengju was. When she was done cleaning up, Yue Pengju immediately pulled his wife over to his room and frowned: "It will be inconvenient for this woman to stay here."

Hua Rong remembered the Empress Dowager's few messages and sighed inwardly. She only said, "Since it's from the Emperor, even if we have to send it off, we must have a suitable reason."

Yue Pengju thought about the scene when he sent the beautiful woman to him, and said: "I don't mind, I have my own ways."

Hua Rong looked at him and suddenly asked: "Pengju, do you really not want to have your own flesh and blood?"

Yue Pengju was startled. What did his flesh and blood have to do with Li Qiaoniang?

He immediately said: "Sister Shi Qi, I once swore that I would not disobey. Why are you doing this?"

For some reason, Hua Rong was suddenly very dissatisfied with this answer. Did not take in concubines because of a vow? If she was stopped by the oath, she would extinguish the Yue Clan's fire.

She said slowly, "Since that's the case, you can go and get rid of it yourself."

When Yue Pengju heard his wife's tone, he did not know why, but he knew that he had no choice but to follow the same pattern.

Li Qiaoniang had just finished working in the kitchen, and upon hearing the Yue Xiang Gong's request, she immediately rushed to the hall and greeted everyone with blessings.

Hua Rong hid behind the screen, seeing her every word and action, she was extremely elegant, not to mention the man, even he himself had a good impression of her. This woman had repeatedly placed her mistress in front of her husband. It was obvious that she had put in some effort before coming here. Adding on her clothes, she knew that this act of Yue Pengju's would definitely not work.

He only heard Yue Pengju ask: "Young Wife needs to know that there is no surplus wealth in lower official's family.

Li Qiaoniang lowered her eyebrows and converged her emotions, then said in a low voice, "Servant is also from the Humble Class, and has never admired anyone. I have only heard of Madam and Hubby's names, and am willing to serve the two of you, not daring to think of anything rich."

Yue Pengju was startled, then said: "lower official's wife is always coming with me, lower official is also not home for long."

Li Qiaoniang was even more respectful, "With Wang Baochuan's hard work in guarding the cold kiln for eighteen years, even though Servant does not have such morals, he is a man of his family, and would not dare to be ungrateful to his wife and husband …"

Yue Pengju was simply speechless.

Li Qiaoniang smiled sweetly, "Yue Xiang Gong doesn't need to worry about Servant. Servant did not have any ulterior motives in coming here, and was only willing to serve the two of you as a slave and a servant. To tell you the truth, the reason why Servant is here today is mainly not because of you, my husband. Instead, it's because of Madam's great reputation and the fact that I know that she is a hero of my Da Song and am willing to serve her.

Yue Pengju was at a loss for words, thinking, so the lady was here for her wife, he must be thinking too much about himself. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Hua Rong heard her clearly, and saw that her husband was at a loss for words, clearly not knowing what to do with this woman. She didn't know what to feel, so she quietly went back to her room.

Yue Pengju had no choice but to say to Li Qiaoniang: "Since that's the case, you can rest in the side room for the time being and plan your course of action in the future."

"Thank you for taking me in."

Yue Pengju did not agree to take her in, but hearing his repay him like that, he did not know what to do, and could only give up.

After a while, Yue Pengju returned to his room. Hua Rong saw that he looked unhappy, and said gently: "Pengju, you don't have to be anxious about this, just act according to the circumstances."

But when Yue Pengju heard his wife's words, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I can't get rid of her this time, everything still has to be decided by Big Sis Shi Qi. She said that she came here because of Big Sister Shi Qi … "

Hua Rong was startled. However, when she heard Li Qiaoniang, she could not help but develop a sense of hostility. She thought, this woman is really strong, pushing everything onto me, if I were to chase her away, wouldn't that mean that I am a shrew who can't tolerate others?
