After dressing as a widow

The surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence. Gu Lin is the governor of Lizhou, and Lin Zhen is the most famous and richest businessman in Lizhou, but the two have another identity. Lin Zhen is Gu Lin's uncle and a husband.

If Lin was really a man, this scene could be ridiculed as a deep relationship between uncle and nephew, but judging from the appearance of the two, it is clearly another kind of relationship.

A lot of eyes fell on Gu Lin and Lin Zhen who had just won a battle. The deputy Qian was always the only one who knew about it, and he was willing to bow down to Gu Lin's courage to carry people on the horse in public.

He clasped his fists at Gu Lin: "My lord is really mighty everywhere."

The sergeants following Gu Lin were also taken aback for a moment, and most of them started booing, oh oh oh oh.

They are facing life and death, many things are nothing in their eyes, not to mention Gu Lin's status among them is very human.

The booing of the sergeants was loud, and it seemed that even the surging undercurrent was covered up.

Lin Zhen sat sideways on the horse's back, with one shoulder pressed against Gu Lin's armored chest. He looked up at Gu Lin, who was splashed with blood on the silver-white helmet, and was embraced by him safely.

The two of them just sat on the same horse, from the gate of the city to the Yamen of the state capital, almost all the people in the state capital saw this scene.

Many people were silent and said nothing about it.

There were also people who pointed at them and whispered that the law was unreasonable and that they would be struck by lightning.

The seven-year-old child, who was being held by his mother and came to see Mr. Gu returning from victory, seemed puzzled: "Mother, why did that uncle talk about Mr. Gu and Boss Lin? Didn't you tell me, Mrs. Gu? Is Boss He Lin our benefactor? It is wrong to speak ill of the benefactor behind his back."

The woman holding the child looked at Gu Lin and Lin Zhen who had gone a little far away, and looked back at her husband standing beside her.

The woman's husband patted the child's head: "Yes, Master Gu and Boss Lin are our benefactors, so we must not speak ill of our benefactors."

The woman also smiled slightly, and prayed for Master Gu and Boss Lin in her heart, agreeing with her husband's words.

If Boss Lin hadn't opened a workshop in the state capital, allowing her to go in and work as a woman, and allowed her to bring back the lunch at noon to share with the family, and saved her wages for her husband to get medicine, his husband would have died of illness long ago Now, where are the good days now.

Regardless of Master Gu and Boss Lin, their family will always remember this kindness and will never forget it.

There are quite a few people like women. They know that Mr. Gu and Boss Lin are inappropriate, but they can't bear and are not willing to say things that slander them.

Without Mr. Gu and Boss Lin, they would not be where they are today in Lizhou.

This big victory made the atmosphere in the city less heavy. At night, many people cooked one or two delicious dishes that they hadn't bothered to cook these days, so they had the right to celebrate.

Sitting in the main hall of the yamen, Gu Lin asked the two hundreds of households below: "How many horses have we brought back, and what is the wear and tear of our weapons?"

Baihu stood up: "My lord, except for those who were seriously injured and died on the battlefield, they brought back a total of [-] horses and seized [-] weapons from the forwards of the Che Luo Kingdom."

"We don't lose much here. All the crossbows and arrows have been recovered, but the arrows lost in the narrow passage cannot be recovered."

The Four-shot Crossbow is a new weapon just made this year according to the drawings given by Lin Zhen. It has a long range and great strength. It can shoot four arrows at a time. It is lighter than the God-shot Crossbow that requires several people to push it. Suitable for immediate combat.

In order to make these four-shooting crossbows, the state government not only consumed its own iron deposits, but also purchased some from outside, which cost a lot, but fortunately, the effect has been strongly verified in today's battle.

But the four-shot crossbow also has weaknesses. There are not many dedicated crossbows, and it hurts every time you lose one. It is best to use it when facing a similar number of enemies.Take it back after defeating the enemy.

Gu Lin nodded and asked the two to sit down: "Che Luoguo claims to have a 2-strong army, but according to my calculations, only about [-] people can actually go to war, and the remaining [-] people are recruited to make up the number. These people have not been trained, and once the camp is bombed, they will be the first to cause chaos, and this place can be planned and used by us."

"Another matter. Tomorrow, a notice will be posted, asking all households to temporarily borrow the ironware in their homes from the state capital, and the state capital will return them according to the amount afterwards."

Deputy Qianhu said, "Are you worried about not having enough weapons?"

"I don't know when the war will end, but making more preparations may be of great use in times of crisis."

"Yes, the next official understands." The official friend Gao Tong and others did this.

The next day, as soon as the people heard that the state government office wanted their ironware from their homes, they handed them in one after another. Some people who had not been notified heard about it outside, and they also handed over their iron pots, shovels, hoes and other items to the state government office. After handing it over, all the cooking and cooking were replaced by pottery and porcelain.

Two days later, the large army of Cheluo State arrived at Zhuziwa. Sang Khan was furious when he saw the dead bodies of the forward troops.

After entering Lizhou, nothing went well. There was no one in the village, and no food or anything was seen. The forwards sent out broke some here.

When he walked forward and saw Qierda and others shot dead on the plain, the angry Sanghan calmed down, looked carefully at the wounds on Qierda and the others, and looked at the wounds beside him. Humanity: "The Sergeant Dayu who killed Qierda and the others had a weapon that we have never faced before, and its lethality is extraordinary."

"According to the direction in which our people fell to the ground and the wounds on their bodies, this weapon is easy to hold and fight on horseback, but the cost is not low, so our people only have wounds on their bodies, but we don't see the weapons that kill them."

Sang Khan stood up and kicked a piece of turf: "I have 10 people in the car, and it's just easy to take down this district of Lizhou. Even if he has a magic weapon, it's just a mantis arm to block the car."

On the day they saw the corpses of the vanguard troops led by Qierda, 5 troops led by Sanghan, excluding the other two groups, approached the city of Lizhou.

Sang Han glanced at the city wall of Lizhou, but he didn't find the magistrate of Lizhou in civil robes, only a few Dayu soldiers in armor, and couldn't help laughing.

This Zhizhou of Lizhou is really a person who is afraid of death, and he is afraid that he is huddled in the city and cannot come out.

He asked the person beside him who was proficient in Dayu's dialect to shout at the tower.

Deputy Qianhu poked his finger into his ear, "What is that guy talking about down there? Why can't I understand a single word?"

Official friend Gaotong Jiang Jing looked at Gu Lin who was standing among them, and listened to what the people from Che Luoguo under the city wall said, and asked them to call the governor of Lizhou, open the city gate obediently and let them take over Lizhou, and let them go. Otherwise, the day the city is destroyed will be the time when their corpses will be broken into pieces.

These co-authors didn't even know that their Zhizhou lord was standing here, and thought their Zhizhou lord was hiding behind them.

5 troops lined up under the city, like densely packed ants, exuding a palpitating chill.

Deputy Qianhu, who had dealt with the Che Luo Kingdom in the past, saw that these were different from the previous Che Luo Kingdom thieves, obviously better equipped, and looked at Gu Lin as a large army that had been prepared for a long time.

Seeing that the Lizhou officials ignored them, the people of Che Luo who were clamoring outside the city began to attack with a wave of their hands.

This attack lasted for four days. On the city wall, blood bubbles were drawn out of the hands of the soldiers pulling the bowstrings, and the blood bubbles were broken again, revealing the tender flesh under the skin.

A cauldron was also set up, with pots of hot water burning in it, and the sergeants poured it down with big ladles at the right time.

Wave after wave of attacks were repelled.

But the Che Luo Kingdom was well versed in how to siege a city. Waves of arrows rained down on them, and they would be shot if they were not careful. The wounded soldiers were carried down and new ones came up.

There were also some thieves from Che Luo Kingdom who climbed up the tower along the ladder, and with a "puff", their heads were pierced by the thorns in Gu Lin's hand, and the yellow, yellow and white things mixed with blood splashed on the silver armor.

Deputy Qianhu wiped the blood from his face, hid behind the pier of the city wall, hiding from the violent arrow rain, turned his head and said to Gu Lin who hadn't been down the city wall for four days: "My lord, go down and rest for a while, now The momentum is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but it is still bearable."

Gu Lin looked at the sergeant who was also squatting down to avoid the rain of arrows, and said, "After this wave, another group of people will come up, let them go down to rest and recuperate."

"What about you, my lord?"

"I'm fine." With such a violent rain of arrows, the city gate building behind him had already been tied into a hedgehog, and the people of Che Luo Kingdom also took the opportunity to climb up. The thorn swung forward violently, and with a tooth-piercing sound of bones breaking, the Che Luo people who had climbed up fell down.

Gu Lin picked up the thorn in his hand, and climbed the climbing ladder of seven or eight people from the Luo nationality and smashed it down heavily.

Taking advantage of the short moment when the rain of arrows stopped, the sergeants from Lizhou also returned their salute, catapults, arrows, and hot water, all of them greeted.

In the past four days, Gu Lin led Deputy Qianhu and others to kill the enemy on the tower, and had already consumed four or five thousand enemies, but at the same time, the speed of weapon consumption was so fast that Gu Lin frowned slightly.

After this wave, perhaps Che Luoguo felt that it would take a long time to break through Lizhou's city gates and towers that had been strengthened with cement, so they stopped attacking.

Gu Lin asked the group of soldiers who were half injured to retreat, and another group came up, and said to Deputy Qianhu: "Taking advantage of this stall, go down and rest."

"My lord, I..." Unknowingly, the deputy Qianhu who was originally named Gu Lin and had the word Gu completely abandoned his surname and only called Master Gu Lin.

Gu Lin leaned against the pillar, looking at him with dark eyes: "One hour, replace me."

The vice president finally agreed, nodded and walked down the tower.

Below, the replaced sergeant was being treated for his wounds by a team of doctors temporarily formed by the state government office. The vice president saw Lin Zhen who should not have appeared here, and he walked over: "Boss Lin, why are you here?"

"I brought something here," Lin Zhen pointed to the large buckets of things behind him, "This is a kind of medicine that can clean up wounds that I made with earthen methods, and it works well in my hometown."

This medicine is actually the juice that Lin Zhen soaked with crushed garlic and distilled spirits with a much higher alcohol concentration.

It was Lin Zhen who traveled to a place in modern times. The local people told him the native method. Lin Zhen was cut by a sickle at that time, and the local hospital was far away, so he personally tried this native method of antibiotics. Anyway, in the later stage There were no bad sequelae, so he fiddled with it in the past few days.

It's just that Deputy Qianhu has been on the city wall with Gu Lin, and he only saw it now.

Deputy Qianhu has always admired Lin Zhen, and what Lin Zhen has done is worthy of admiration no matter if it is placed on a brother or a man.

He looked at the sergeant who was using the juice to clean up the arrow wound, and clasped his fists at Lin Zhen: "Che Luoguo's attack has temporarily stopped, and my lord told me to rest for an hour before changing him. Boss Lin, I'm right there , if you need anything, just call me."

"it is good."

Lin Zhen clasped his fists in return, looked at the tower, turned around, took something, and walked up the stairs.

The city tower of Lizhou State Capital was refurbished with cement last year, and it is no longer as dilapidated as before. Lin Zhen carried his things, squatted on the ground and walked up, and saw Gu Lin squinting at the outside of the city tower at a glance.

Seeing him, Gu Lin frowned at the colder and more heartless brows set off by the silver-white armor, got up from the pillar, and walked to him with a bowed waist.

Lin Zhen was pulled by him, and leaned against the wall pier: "I heard from Deputy Qianhu that the attack from below has stopped, so I'll bring you some food and drink."

As he said, he looked at Gu Lin, and took off the lid of the basket with his hand, revealing the boiled and cooled ones, and five or six steamed buns underneath.

Gu Lin opened her somewhat chapped lips, hummed, and pulled him between her legs. Lin Zhen knelt between his legs, and handed the wooden cup filled with water to his mouth.

Gu Lin took the water glass, raised his head and drank the whole glass of water, then looked at him, eating the buns bit by bit.

The steamed stuffed buns are made in the kitchen of the government office of the state government. They are filled with pork head from the slaughterhouse. They are delicious and filling.

Gu Lin ate all six buns in one go, and wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.

He is the person who loves cleanliness the most. He changes his clothes every day on weekdays and never accepts overnight clothes. But now Lin Zhen smelled the smell of blood and sweat from his body, but he didn't show any discomfort. .

Lin Zhen put the water glass back into the basket, looked at Gu Lin who had a little dried blood under his eyes, and said suddenly: "Gu Lin, let's get married after this matter is over."

Lin Zhen suddenly didn't want to do this anymore, they should be together.

Let them talk about what other people like to say, and I and Gu Lin will not lose a piece of meat.

Gu Lin looked down at him, hugged him into his arms, and wrapped his hands tightly around his waist: "Uncle Lin."

"Really."

Lin Zhen's heart was filled with his two calls, and he hugged Gu Lin back, feeling unprecedentedly satisfied.

The sergeants next to him laughed kindly.

"Master Gu, shouldn't you give me a kiss?"

"You people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. Boss Lin will be shy."

"I'm shy?" Lin Zhen was hugged by Gu Rin, looked at the soldiers guarding the city with him, and said maliciously, "You, Mr. Gu, are the one who is shy, and you blushed very hard."

The sergeants didn't believe it, Mr. Gu's cold face of Hades didn't seem like he would blush.

Lin Zhen let out a hey, feeling that his little boy's cold face for many years is still effective, and his aura is well controlled.

He turned his head to look at Gu Lin, and bumped into his eyes all of a sudden, those hot eyes seemed to hide two fires in his dark eyes, trying to burn him to ashes.
