There was a caravan of merchants from Luoyang in the group. They caught up with Li Yi's group and traveled together with them.
They gave up their seats in the caravan for the child to ride in and received the protection of the Winged Knights.
The group's speed suddenly slowed down. At this speed, they would not be able to return in four days. They would have to travel in seven to eight days.
Li Yi counted the days and calculated the date of his sister-in-law's pregnancy. He was anxious.
There was still a month left, but what if something happened earlier?
"Commander Fan, send someone back to ask about my sister-in-law's situation." Li Yi was worried. He had no choice but to find Fan Fan for a private matter.
It was a private matter for him, but for Fan Fan, it was an important matter.
He did not say anything else and directly arranged for people to come.
"No need, Commander Fan. Tomorrow morning, send a few people to come with me. I will also change horses."
Li Yi suddenly changed his mind. In his opinion, the child in his sister-in-law's stomach was more important.
The other commoners were protected by the Winged Knights, so they could walk slowly. When he returned to Zhuangzi, he would send a caravan to pick them up.
"Li Dongzhu, it's very tiring to ride a horse." Fan Fan advised.
"Is it as tiring as bringing you out to play?" Li Yi mentioned the time when the Winged Knights created a devilish training program for each person.
At that time, he was by their side. If someone could not take it, he would save them.
The Winged Knights did not rest well. He also slept and woke up at times.
"No, Li Dongzhu, don't always talk about this." Fan Fan expressed his fear. It was a nightmarish experience.
Now, when he occasionally heard noises at night, he would be covered in sweat. He would quickly grab his weapon and hide it.
"Let's eat, let's eat." Li Yi smiled.
Fan Fan rubbed his chest and turned to say to the commoners and merchants: "Don't eat too much tonight. If you feel uncomfortable, you still have to find Dongzhu to take a look."
The commoners looked at him anxiously. Such delicious meat, how could he not let them eat a lot? It would be a pity if there were any leftovers and they were thrown away. The weather was hot now.
Early the next morning, Li Yi ate until he was half full and didn't drink much soup. He got on his horse and quickly left with the 100 riders.
He stood as high as he could and adjusted the stirrups.
It was a little tiring, but he could lie down occasionally. Otherwise, if he kept straddling, he knew that the skin on his inner thigh would be torn by the time he reached home.
The most important thing was that the weather was hot now. If the skin was abraded, it had to be removed piece by piece and then applied medicine. She did not wear pants or a skirt.
She couldn't even hug her blanket when she slept at night. Her legs had to be positioned properly, and it was best if they were fixed.
No, absolutely not. Not even half a month.
He was not so skilful as to be able to take his feet off the stirrups and dismount with a child in his arms.
The horses he used to ride were very obedient and did not run too fast.
He squatted, sat, and lay on his stomach. He pursed his lips and did not make a sound.
One hundred Winged Knights expressed their admiration. There was actually such a good method. They originally wanted to see Li Yi make a fool of himself, but no one said anything about the consequences of a novice horse rider.
In the end, Li Yi had already thought of it and knew how to deal with it.
"Dongzhu, let's compete in speed?" An Non-commissioned Officer shouted to Li Yi.
"If I fall, what do you think will happen to the person you suggested?" Li Yi threatened.
"Dongzhu, I didn't say anything. The wind was strong just now. You misheard." The other party immediately admitted defeat.
Li Yi continued to purse his lips and did not say anything. The wind choked.
Lantian County. Early in the morning, Song De had finished selling soy sauce, tea leaves, and other things. He handed the matter over to his assistant and brought Zhuangzi's guards here.
Li Yi's letter said that when he arrived at Lantian County, he should be accompanied by guards.
One hundred mounted guards, two horses per person, a crossbow on the horses, full body armor, sabers at their waists, and bows on their backs.
Not to mention their archery skills, just their equipment alone was enough to make the bailiffs of Lantian County not dare to provoke them.
They brazenly brought out the cavalry without anyone's care. It was said that crossbows were allowed to be issued by the imperial court. They were even produced by the imperial court for distribution.
The reason was that there were important military secrets in Zhuangzi that needed to be protected.
The guards looked at everyone as if they were bad guys. They were existences that had survived the battlefield, so their expressions were different.
Others were afraid of them and could not afford to provoke them.
They had not fought many times, so how could they fight with people who had killed before? On the battlefield, life and death were decided in one move.
There was no need to glare at each other, and there was no need to use fierce words to provoke. They just went up and fought. Either you fall, or I fall.
Those who were seen felt that the guards of Li Family Zhuangzi were thinking about how to get rid of them in one move.
Song De did not care about what others thought.
He followed the information from the people who came yesterday and found a person called Song Xiaowu.
Song Xiaowu's family had 11 people and 300 mu of land, including mulberry trees and hemp. The rest was for food.
His family's land was not very good. Yesterday, someone came to him to buy it and offered half the market price.
Just as he was hesitating, the Li Family Zhuangzi said that he wanted to buy the land and was willing to pay the poll tax for his family.
He quickly decided not to sell. They would work together. When the poll tax was paid, the Li Family Zhuangzi would pay and they could dig up the land as they pleased.
"Song Xiaowu, there is still a lot of wheat to harvest." Song De went to the field to take a look.
"Me, my brother who is not married, my sick parents, my wife, and six children. We can't do it." Song Xiaowu was very helpless.
His family had a twelve-year-old girl, a ten-year-old girl, an eight-year-old girl, and three six-year-old boys.
The three boys were triplets. Just like the three sisters, they looked very dirty.
Obviously, the family was not well off and did not have time to take care of them.
"This won't do. How can we find wheat? Hire someone to harvest the wheat first. "
Song De was unhappy. He called out and a farmer found someone who was willing to accept the hire.
Everyone went to work together. They took out the magical tools from the carriage and swept the field. The older ones were responsible for collecting and tying up the wheat.
The children brought a small basket and squatted down to pick up the wheat grains that fell.
"Let's go to the next house." Song De looked for people according to the list.
The people he looked for were poor people whose families could not harvest the wheat in time. He did not look for rich people or officials.
Previously, he did not have enough time to find out any useful information.
Last night, someone found out who came to buy the wheat. Then, he investigated the identity of these people and saw who they were in contact with in the past.
No matter how deep the people behind the scenes were, the circle was only so big.
The investigation of information continued. Song De first helped people to solve the problem of harvesting wheat.
Others did not know the situation, but he knew. This time, Dongzhu had big plans and long-term plans.
When the serious Dongzhu made a move, it was naturally not simple.
To settle things, to scheme against people, to help people, Zhuangzi had to get benefits.
"Steward Song, are we still collecting the tea leaves?" A person who came to work asked.
"Yes. If you are willing to harvest the tea, continue to do so. Later, I will ask someone to tell Zhuangzi that if anyone who sells tea leaves to Zhuangzi wants to pay poll tax, Zhuangzi will pay it. "
Song De shouted.
"Li Dongzhu is benevolent."
"Li Dongzhu is rich."
"Li Dongzhu will live to a hundred years old."
"Li Dongzhu will always be in our hearts."
"I want to burn incense for Li Dongzhu."
"Li Dongzhu will live forever …"
Many people who did not live very well in the surroundings shouted.
Before they finished shouting, someone in the crowd who was harvesting wheat suddenly shouted, "There's something, there's something in the field. I kicked it. What is it? Is it colored glass? When did it come? Was it buried? Will there be gold in it? "
