Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 298 Help
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the main position, but he never said a word.

He lowered his head slightly, no one knew what he was thinking, and there was no extra time to pay attention to him...

"The human problem has been solved, but more thunder stones, rolling logs, etc. need to be reserved..."

"You can prepare more fierce fire oil. When the time comes, you can give the invading enemy a huge surprise."

"Reinforce the city walls, strengthen the city gates, clean the moats..."

"You can dig a horse pit outside the city..."

……

Throughout the morning, through collective efforts, Zhu Xiuyuan had sorted out a plan, the details of which were quite complicated.

But Dong Cheng happens to be proficient in this, and he is good at handling these complicated things.

Therefore, when it comes to the specific arrangements, execution, and supervision of tasks, it is still Dong Cheng who gives the orders.

Dong Cheng was in charge of the state government office, as if he were the "wartime command center."

Li Linzhou was originally an assistant to the governor, so he helped out and checked for leaks and filled them up.

And Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, etc. were responsible for guarding the city wall, cheering for the defenders, and commanding the defense of the city.

The division of labor is clear.

As for His Highness the Crown Prince, Dong Cheng invited him into the back house of the Yamen, where he lived peacefully, and was protected by heavy troops. He was provided with good food and drink every day...

His Royal Highness silently accepted this.

The heroic words of "vowing to live and die with Jiangzhou" completely disappeared from his mouth.

But this is good, lest the prince come out and wander around.

If something happens to the prince, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiu will not be the ones to suffer.

...The hurried day passed like this.

The next day, after another busy morning, Zhu Xiuyuan, as the backbone, had a little free time.

At this time, it was three quarters past noon.

Zhu Xiuyuan took Yan Dashan with him, left the Yamen, rode directly on his horse, galloped down the street, and rushed towards the Dong Mansion.

In times of crisis like this, the city has long lost its former bustle and bustle.

All the young men and women in the city were drafted into civilian husbands, and the women and children in the city also stayed behind closed doors.

The street was very deserted, with almost no pedestrians.

After a while, I arrived at Dong's house, knocked on the door, and asked the concierge. I learned that Dong Shuyu, Dong Shuzhen, the old beggar, etc. were all dining in the back hall.

So Zhu Xiuyuan left Yan Dashan behind and rushed to the back hall alone.

However, when Zhu Xiuyuan rushed to the back hall and took a look, he saw that there were only Dong Shuyu, the old beggar, and the two elders of the Beggar Clan, Liu and Guan, but there was no sign of Dong Shuzhen.

"Xiuyuan is back, I guess you haven't eaten yet..."

Dong Shuyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up to greet him, stretched his neck and shouted outside: "Dongmei, get a set of bowls and chopsticks, and then tell the kitchen to make some new dishes."

Zhu Xiuyuan happened to be hungry, so he sat down as he was told.

After taking two mouthfuls of rice, Zhu Xiuyuan raised his hands to the old beggar and said, "Master, the city of Jiangzhou is in danger. I would like to ask Master for help." The old beggar had white eyebrows and white beard, and his face was red. She is in high spirits and looks great.

During these days, the old beggar had good food and drinks in Dong's Mansion, with a new dish every day, roasted chicken with fine wine, etc. The old beggar had no worries about eating and drinking, and he actually gained some blessings.

The old beggar casually threw out a gnawed chicken bone... The chicken bones on the table had piled up into a hill.

After throwing away the chicken bones, he took his greasy hands back and wanted to wipe them on his clothes.

However, the old beggar seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he endured it and picked up a white handkerchief and wiped it on his hand.

"The King of Shaozhou is cruel and treats the people of central Guizhou as prey... Hiccup... The old beggar has long wanted to eliminate harm for the people... Hiccup... As for the Yan people, the old beggar doesn't have a good impression of the Yan people either. Haha... hiccup... So I wish you don't worry, kid, even if you don't have these... hiccup... just looking at the food in these two months, the old beggar will not stand idly by... hiccup..."

The old beggar was wiping his hands with a white handkerchief, talking, and burping from wine.

"Disciple, thank you Master!" Zhu Xiuyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down.

It would be best if the old beggar came to help.

The old beggar helped Zhu Xiuyuan up and said with a smile: "Not only does the old beggar want to take action, but the two elders Liu and Guan... hiccup... have been taking care of you for a long time. They will also go to the city to help in this battle... hiccup …”

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed to the two elders Liu and Guan again, expressing his gratitude.

Elder Liu helped Zhu Xiuyuan up and said with a smile: "Zhu Sima and Governor Dong are both good officials who serve the people wholeheartedly. Helping Zhu Sima means helping the people of Jiangzhou City..."

Elder Guan also said solemnly: "The King of Shaozhou has hurt many disciples of my Beggar Clan. This time I will kill him to avenge the dead disciples!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was naturally happy. With the help of these martial arts masters, he and the entire Dong family would be fine in this battle to defend the city.

Zhu Xiuyuan believed in their strength.

"Master, I would like to ask you to sit in charge of the Dong Mansion and protect the safety of the young and old in the Dong Mansion. Elders Liu and Guan, please follow me up the city wall..."

"No!"

Before Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dong Shuyu, who had been silent.

Zhu Xiuyuan, the old beggar and the two elders all looked at Dong Shuyu, wondering why she said "no".

Dong Shuyu stood up and walked to Zhu Xiuyuan.

The tone was slightly firmer: "No, Xiu Yuan, you have to go up the city wall. The city wall is full of dangers and swords are silent. Your life is in danger at any time. There are no enemies in the mansion, just the servants in the mansion. No need for Hong. The gang leader stays."

As Dong Shuyu said this, he bowed to the old beggar Yingying again.

He said: "Hong Gang Leader, Xiu Yuan doesn't know kung fu and has no strength to tie a chicken. It must be extremely dangerous to go up the city wall like this. But Hong Gang Leader has great martial arts skills and extraordinary skills. This little girl is brave... I want to ask Hong Gang Leader to protect Xiu Yuan personally." Far……"

"Shuyu!" Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked. Even he did not dare to ask the old beggar to protect him personally.

So sorry!

The old beggar is highly skilled, the leader of the gang, and he is kind. He is a man of the hour and worthy of awe. Who would dare to ask him to do something?
"Hey!" The old beggar waved his hand and ignored Zhu Xiuyuan, only looking at Dong Shuyu.

He had white eyebrows and white beard, a red face, and a kind face. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. These days, the old beggar has to enjoy the delicious food. In fact, it's all Miss Dong... burp..."

"As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths, and taking people has short hands. Now that Miss Dong has invited me, the old beggar must respond. Haha... hiccup... it can be regarded as repaying Miss Dong... hiccup... the delicious food cooked by her own hands. Well, haha...burp..."

The old beggar waved his hands repeatedly and agreed easily.

"Thank you, little lady, Gang Leader Hong!" Dong Shuyu bowed.
