    Chapter 177 Tidal Rain

    Tantai Hu is still making a plea: “The governor wants me to guard Dunzhou, and I have no objection. I just can’t bear to leave my brothers in Libei, let alone the governor. Dunzhou is my eldest brother’s original residence. I really…”

    Xiao Chiye’s fingers sank into Shen Zechuan’s hair. He patiently rubbed the base of Shen Zechuan’s ears with his thumb, plucking the jade beads until they were faintly crimson.The window was open, and a few muffled thunders occasionally sounded, but Xiao Chiye ignored them.

    There was a bamboo curtain between the inside and outside, and the sound of the Tantai tiger was very clear.Shen Zechuan was trapped in the flush, his mouth was clumsy and his tongue was so tender that he could wipe out the water.He was an impromptu idea, but it was so difficult to do it. Not only was it blocked, but it also made my eyes wet due to choking.

    After all, Tantai Hu is a seven-foot-tall man, and he can’t help but cry on his knees.He calmed down his emotions, changed his title, and said: “There is no garrison in Dunzhou now. Master is willing to give this place to me. I must be worthy of this kindness.”

    Xiao Chiye was hit by the intense waves while holding Shen Zechuan’s right wrist and pressing it into Shen Zechuan’s hair.The place under the table was cramped and cramped, and Shen Zechuan couldn’t bear the heat. Within a moment, he was sweating profusely.

    “I will leave you five thousand soldiers,” Xiao Chiye’s Adam’s apple slipped. “From now on, we will leave Cizhou and you will be in charge of Lanzhou. If anything happens, tell Lanzhou as soon as possible.”

    Tantaihu knew that Shen Zechuan was also inside, so he thought for a moment and said seriously: “Dunzhou needs to recruit new soldiers and rebuild the city wall. The exact amount of this part of the expenditure must be discussed with the governor first.”

    Tantai Hu also said some things, which were all government affairs that needed to be discussed in detail. Normally, Shen Zechuan would have called Kong Ling in and made a rough deal with Tantai Hu.But he couldn’t focus at the moment, and Xiao Chiye suppressed any ideas he had.The waves in his eyes accumulated more and more, and finally turned into water drops, falling as if they were broken.

    This scene is so exciting.

    Xiao Chiye put a little more force on his palms, and the sound of rain waxed and waned. Shen Zechuan couldn’t hold back any fluids. In his haste, he didn’t even know when the Tantai Tiger retreated.Xiao Chiye raised one leg and kicked the table away.

    The muffled thunder suddenly exploded, and the rain suddenly intensified, hitting the window with crackling sounds and broken beads flying everywhere.Xiao Chiye didn’t go anywhere, he was just here, leaning on a chair to clean up Shen Zechuan.With his hands tied behind his back, Shen Zechuan sat astride, facing Xiao Chiye, and murmured amidst the noisy rain.

    So smooth.

    Shen Zechuan couldn’t stand it after a few strokes and was trembling in the bumps.He trembled pitifully, staining Xiao Chiye’s clothes.Xiao Chiye didn’t play any tricks this time. He tied his wrists and allowed him, “Aye” and “Ce’an” to beg for mercy. He just settled the accounts with him with all the profits.

    The rain is still falling.

    * * *

    When the rain stopped, Xiao Chiye fell between the quilts, fished Shen Zechuan over, and held He’s right wrist, fixing it to him.Shen Zechuan fell asleep and woke up again, resting his head on Xiao Chiye’s chest, mumbling what he was talking about.

    Xiao Chiye didn’t understand it after listening for a long time. He was too sleepy to open his eyes and responded vaguely.The two of them just hummed nonsensically for a while, and gradually fell asleep.

    After sleeping until noon the next day, Xiao Chiye heard Shen Zechuan calling him while half asleep.he opened his eyes and said confusedly: “Hmm, huh?”

    Shen Zechuan was so sleepy that he couldn’t lift his head and grabbed Xiao Chiye’s pigtails.

    Xiao Chiye fell asleep for a while, still thinking about military affairs, and woke up soon after.He did it hard last night, now he turned over and pushed Shen Zechuan down, saying: “Get up, take medicine.”

    Shen Zechuan covered Xiao Chiye’s forehead with his left hand, pretending not to hear.

    Xiao Chiye sighed, buried his head in Shen Zechuan’s chest, and rubbed it so hard that Shen Zechuan sank into the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: “Shen Lanzhou, hurry up and get me up.”

    Shen Zechuan was so suppressed that he couldn’t breathe easily, and pulling Xiao Chiye’s pigtails didn’t work. He could only open his eyes and said feebly: “My back is sore, my knees are hurting, and I can’t get up.”

    Xiao Chiye reached under Shen Zechuan, lifted him up by his back, put him on him and got out of bed.Shen Zechuan was still blind when he was pushed into the water. He leaned against Xiao Chiye and really didn’t even want to move his fingers.Xiao Chiye didn’t want to move, and the two of them just soaked in the water.

    Chen Yang had been waiting all morning. When he heard the door open, he saw Xiao Chiye wearing a clean robe and wearing wooden clogs.He asked the maids to go forward. After a while, he saw Shen Zechuan standing out wearing a broad robe and wearing wooden clogs.

    Both of them looked like they hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

    “Where’s the tiger?” Xiao Chiye said, “I’ll ask him to come back later. I forgot to tell him a lot of things yesterday.”

    “Call Fei Sheng first,” Shen Zechuan looked at the corridor, “Why are you still kneeling?”

    Chenyang responded and went down to call someone.

    * * *

    Fei Sheng knelt under the corridor and saw Kong Ling coming in wearing a raincoat.He bowed his head and said, “Mr. Cheng Feng.”

    Kong Ling took off his bamboo hat, took off his raincoat, hung it on the side, and said, “Why are you still kneeling?”

    Fei Sheng said, “Master didn’t give any orders.”

    Fei Sheng knelt here for two days, while Xiao Chiye looked at him, but he didn’t complain at all.Kong Ling’s heart was bright and he said with relief: “The Marquis and the Lord Fu spend less time together and stay apart more. If the Lord Fu is injured, the Lord Hou will inevitably be angry. Military affairs are heavy these days, so it’s time to let go of his anger.”

    Fei Sheng hurriedly said: “We were guards and caused the master to be injured. We should be punished. I haven’t seen the master for two days and I am worried about the master’s injury.”

    Kong Ling nodded and said: “You have such loyalty, and the Marquis also sees it. If you wait another half moment, it will be your turn.”

    Fei Sheng knew that Kong Ling must have seen something when he said this, so he said: “Fei Laoshi is a rough man, please give me some advice this time.”

    Kong Ling laughed, looked up and saw Chenyang walking over, and simply said: “Don’t panic, kneeling for these two days will be a blessing in disguise.”

    Fei Sheng was worried that Xiao Chiye wanted to settle accounts after the fall, but he also felt that Kong Ling didn’t mean what he said.In the past two days, he had lost his previous joy. Looking at Xiao Chiye’s face, he was not sure how Xiao Chiye would punish him.At this moment, he heard the call and quickly got up and followed him.

    Shen Zechuan was sitting on a chair drinking medicine, while Xiao Chiye kept a close eye on him and couldn’t leave anything behind.The medicine was so bitter that Shen Zechuan frowned, and he swallowed it without daring to spit it out while looking at Xiao Chiye.

    He doesn’t even eat strong tea, he just hates the bitterness.Without Ji Gang by his side, he would drink the medicine on his own. Unless he was seriously injured like this time on the carriage, he would never submit honestly.

    Xiao Chiye was looking at military affairs and pushed the dish honey to Shen Zechuan.

    Fei Sheng came in to salute and knelt in the hall.

    Shen Zechuan couldn’t bear to eat sweets in front of his subordinates, so he retracted his fingertips from the side of the plate and said with pain, “Have you seen the injuries of brothers?”

    Fei Sheng replied truthfully: “I’ve seen it, it’s all skin injuries, it doesn’t matter.”

    Shen Zechuan said sternly: “If you are injured, we will take care of you. I will be exempted from duty these days, and the night watch will be left to Chenyang and the others. Those two brothers will be buried generously. If you have family members in Cizhou, please deduct forty taels of silver from my account to help me settle down.”

    Fei Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but did not dare to show it on his face. He hurriedly said: “Master’s orders must be done well.”

    Not just anyone can “replace” Shen Zechuan. This job was done by Qiao Tianya in the past. Being able to transfer money from Shen Zechuan’s private account means he can be trusted. This trust is far more valuable than the reward of silver.Fei Sheng was overjoyed, but seeing Xiao Chiye sitting there with no expression on his face, he restrained himself, bowed his head and retreated.

    Jin Yiwei defended well this time and did not escape before the battle. Shen Zechuan will definitely reward him.Xiao Chiye asked Fei Sheng to kneel down to beat Fei Sheng and let Fei Sheng remember at all times that he is a guard and it is his fault that the master is injured. Don’t forget the shape just because Shen Zechuan repeatedly ignored it.At the same time, there is another meaning, that is, Xiao Chiye punished Fei Sheng first, and Shen Zechuan’s subsequent reward seemed more considerate. Fei Sheng had to remember Shen Zechuan’s kindness.

    Shen Zechuan turned his head and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to say something to Xiao Chiye.Xiao Chiye raised his hand and stuffed the candy into his mouth, and Kong Ling came in.

    Xiao Chiye said with a normal expression: “Dunzhou has been taken now, but how to defend it is a problem. Cizhou has no generals now, so I will leave the Tantai Tiger here, and then draw 5,000 people from the Forbidden Army and Cizhou garrison to stay here. Recruitment will be stepped up this winter, and fortifications are also imminent.”

    Chenyang handed the booklet to Kong Ling.

    Shen Zechuan should say something, but he still has sugar in his mouth.Xiao Chiye continued: “Dunzhou’s Yamen must be rebuilt, and the household registration must be cleared. Cheng Feng thinks about it and sees if there is anyone who can be sent to help Tantai Hu during the Cizhou Yamen review this year.”

    Zhou Gui’s staff was responsible for the review of subordinate officials in Cizhou Yamen. Last time, Gao Zhongxiong’s incident happened and two people were killed. Shen Zechuan handed the matter over to Kong Ling this time to give Cizhou staff another chance.

    Kong Ling stood up and said, “There are a few good ones. When I get back, I will draw up a roster and submit it to the prince for review. Then I will also ask Yuan Zhuo to be there to give me some advice.”

    Kong Ling climbed up the steps given by Shen Zechuan and lifted Yao Wenyu up, lowering his position.Chen Yang followed Xiao Chiye in the military tent and met the staff, but they were not as magnanimous as Kong Ling. He glanced at Kong Ling in surprise.

    “There are some arrangements. Just go down and discuss them with Tantaihu in detail.” Xiao Chiye said, “You were originally his eldest brother Tantailong’s staff. If you have anything to say, just say it. He respects you in his heart and does not dare to lose face.”

    He and I discussed some more Dunzhou government affairs, all of which were plans to be drawn up.There is still a group of merchants waiting to see Shen Zechuan outside the hospital. Yan Heru and Hai Rigu are also locked up, and the matter of Scorpion has not yet been clarified.On the other side, Xiao Chiye had to keep in touch with Wu Ziyu who stayed in Libei. Because it snowed in Libei, the horse roads everywhere were either blocked or collapsed. The task of cultivating the road was left to the escort team, but there were only so many money and people. Which road to build first and how to build it were all questions, and Xiao Chiye had to meet Xiao Chiye’s goal before he could decide.

    It seems like the two of you only have so little free time. If you don’t think about it in the morning, there are too many things going on.The businessmen came in and made a loud noise. Xiao Chiye regretted it a lot. He had a great time last night, but Shen Zechuan had to work hard today.

    Xiao Chiye thought so and turned to look at Shen Zechuan.Who would have thought that Shen Zechuan was leaning on his chair, listening to the quarrels of the merchants with a serious look on his face, holding a pen in his hand and drawing a tortoise on the paper.

    Xiao Chiye laughed.

    Then I saw Shen Zechuan wrote Xiao Ce’an’s name on it.
