Li Du coughed lightly, with a faint embarrassment on his face.

It's really wrong to speculate on someone else's wife as an official, this is very contrary to the teaching Li Dutou has received for many years.

"Can't think, can't think."

What does Mrs. Zhang have to do with whether she is really kind or fake?Can't people have a little hobby?Even if Mrs. Zhang is a gentle and virtuous lady today, tomorrow she will hold a three-foot long knife and fight with people for [-] rounds, and the day after tomorrow she suddenly becomes interested and wants to try other different ways of playing, that has nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, two calls of old ravens came from the ears.

Li Du was stunned for a moment, sighed, and the worry that was suppressed in his heart emerged again.He was worried about many things, but what worried him most now was the safety of the princess and the imperial envoy.

Before leaving, he received the task of escorting the princess and the imperial envoy back to Beijing as soon as possible, and must ensure the safety of these two.

But before the mission really started, it experienced a very dangerous...

"Just a few bandits, what's the point? I don't think you should sell your heads. I'll use them all to open up wasteland. I agreed to the old patriarch's promise, and I promised several villagers good land. All the wasteland on the mountain has been opened up, but there is a serious shortage of manpower, and the task of the farm is also very heavy, we must not delay breeding, let alone meat, and our 'Gu Ji' business."

Li Du's eyes narrowed - perhaps it was not so dangerous... Bandit harassment incident?
His throat moved, he smiled wryly, turned his head to follow the sound, and was startled again.

The person who spoke was not like an ordinary peasant woman, her hair was simply rolled up, she was gentle, with a bookish air, and he knew that this person was Mrs. Jiang.

Adoptive mother of Princess Yongkang.

In just a short time, only a few steps away, Jiang sent two groups of people away, one group asked her to sign a note to allocate funds for the repair of some grain depot.

Another group of people said that the farm was going to open two new fish ponds, and the plan had been written and submitted to Jiang for review.

In addition to these two groups of people, Jiang called several people to arrange work, and said that there would be a meeting after studying at night.

Li Du took a small breath.

What does the princess' adoptive mother look like?So capable, yet so busy.

Then he nodded again, feeling that only such a adoptive mother could possibly raise a character like a princess.

Li Du thought for a while that the princess probably wanted to take her adoptive parents with her. After all, the situation was so critical. Although the bandits were defeated this time, what about next time?

These bandits are not only fierce, but also well-trained, comparable to elite soldiers. Obviously, they have great plans.

The entire territory of Shouling Mansion is now in dire straits and is extremely dangerous.

The scent of wisps of fragrance flutters with the wind.

Those serious thoughts soon flew to nowhere. Li Du followed the direction where the villagers were flocking to, and followed them involuntarily.

The newly built large dining hall in 'Gu Ji' takes up an entire yard.

Today is destined to experience a big battle, and he must reward the villagers of the patrol team, as well as his own servants and nurses.

Gu Xiang called all the cooks at home, and Lao Du and his twelve apprentices packed the meals together. Before going to the tower at the entrance of the village, Gu Xiang personally slaughtered ten young goats, all of which were good goats running around for food on the farm. , not only let them eat pasture specially grown for them, but also drink only mountain spring water, and have enough daily activity.

Most of the goats bred so carefully are only seasoned and stewed with the simplest seasonings.

This stew, from the bandit siege to Gu Xiang hanging the bandit leader, the bearded upside down, on the branch.

The branches were slender, the bearded man was head down, and he didn't even dare to breathe too quickly, for fear of accidentally hitting his head on the ground and dying.

Gu Xiang only stared at the mutton, and said with a smile: "The heat is just right, not bad."

Li Du was both a guest and a reinforcement. Although he didn't have much effect, he really wanted to. Gu Xiang personally invited him to sit at the front. The old patriarch and several other clan elders were very enthusiastic and toasted.

A large pot of mutton was directly served on the table. Li Dutou was still reserved at first, but after a while, seeing the old patriarch unceremoniously filled a large pot with sharp edges, he didn't bother to give way, and hurriedly scooped up the biggest piece with his chopsticks. lamb chops.

Li Dutou likes to eat lamb chops, and the stew in this pot is especially delicious. One bite into it and a pinch lightly, the crispy meat will fall off the bones.

Although it is crispy, it is smooth and crispy, and the strong meaty aroma spreads from the tip of the tongue, and Li Dutou even feels that he is drunk by the aroma.

Smelling the smell of meat, Li Du raised his head and looked around. A full house of villagers sat around, and the bonfires around were scorching hot and dazzlingly red.

In addition to a large pot of mutton, there is also a large bowl of pancakes. The outer skin is browned and crispy, and the inside is very soft. Li Dutou couldn't help but grabbed one and ate it with the mutton. The pancakes were full of the mutton soup. Li Du ate most of the juice in one go, and his whole body was steaming hot.

He couldn't see himself, and the villagers next to him couldn't help secretly laughing.

At this moment, Li Dutou looked like a big cat who wanted to collapse immediately, turned over to reveal his belly, and squinted his eyes to be scratched.

That kind of comfort, comfort and satisfaction makes people feel good after seeing it.

Immediately, everyone heard the sound of teeth gnashing from above.

Many people looked up and saw the bearded man dangling upside down on the tree branch, staring at everyone with red eyes and gritted teeth.

"Grandson, if you have the ability to kill me, if I blink, I won't be called a hero."

The bandit leader, the bearded man squeezed out his last breath, hissing and roaring.

All the villagers looked at him silently, as if a little surprised, only the old patriarch asked in surprise: "Oh, Xue Ying is practicing hanging bacon again? It doesn't really matter, it's fine to hang it anyway?"

Except for the old patriarch, the others didn't make a sound, and didn't even look at it for a while, they all buried their heads and began to eat meat with big mouthfuls.

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Ah, I forgot about him... Shouldn't there be an interrogation? Brother Wang, why don't you come?"

"But the first trial of him, my meat will be cold."

The old dog looked unwilling.

Gu Xiang frowned, and said for a while: "Okay, let's eat first, and whoever is free later will have a trial."

The bearded man stared at the group of people below, bursting with anger. He considered himself a hero, and being captured this time was already ready to be tortured to extract a confession.

Unlike others, he refused to seek death by himself.

Even if he suffers some humiliation, he still wants to live, and he wants to preserve his useful body for the future, and the other party obviously planted an eyeliner among his own people, and this eyeliner's status is not low.

If he can take advantage of the opportunity of being tortured to extract a confession, even if he only finds a little clue, if he is lucky enough to pass it on to his wife, his life will be considered worthwhile.

But in such an uncomfortable situation, he desperately thought about how to survive the interrogation, but the other party, the other party... didn't take him seriously at all!
