Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu who looked tired and wrinkled, and said distressedly to Yangyang: "Master, you and Brother Qijin go to play with Xiaobai Dahua, and let Madam eat something and take a shower."

Yangyang looked at Li Yu and nodded, "Mom, please have a good meal while I went to play with Brother Qijin."

"Go! Good boy." Li Yu touched his bun, put him down, and watched the two of them run to the back garden hand in hand.

"Madam, Guyu, Xinghua and the others went to the house over there to help pick corn. Jixiang came back and drank porridge before going to bed. Grandma Liu cooked lean meat porridge for you. You go and drink some porridge first and then eat well. Get some sleep."

"Okay," Li Yu glanced at Xiaoyu's belly, "Is the child good? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired." Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head. Mrs. Liu happily placed the porridge and side dishes, "Madam, you must be hungry! Drink some porridge quickly, and I will pour you bath water."

"Okay." Li Yu drank the porridge, washed himself briefly, went back to the room and lay on the bed. The familiar smell came from the tip of his nose, and he relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Hui led the people back to a mountain ridge below, where they could still see the blazing fire. This time the mountain fire burned for several days before being extinguished by a rain and snowstorm.

Ruyi came out of Sihai Bank and went to Xicheng but did not find Zhou Jia. Mr. Qian told him that Zhou Jia had been invited back to the Yamen by Mr. Wu.

As soon as Zhou Jiaqi returned to the Yamen, Wu Ting rushed to meet him in panic, "Sir, it's not good, General Ouyang sent an urgent report. The Qi army's strength suddenly doubled in the early morning, and Linshan City was captured by the Qi army. The magistrate of Linshan County died, and Yunzhou Prefecture immediately prepared for war. Let's start recruiting civilian men to carry rolling stones and stones to the top of the city, as well as doctors from various drug stores. Do you think the mountain fires in those days were serious? The general released it? I think it was those Qi people who saw that Luoji Mountain was impassable and the sneak attack failed, so they transferred their troops to Linshan to attack with all their strength." Wu Ting sighed first, "Oh! Even Qingzhou Prefecture started fighting. The Qi people were coming. It’s fierce!”

After hearing this, Zhou Jia remembered that Li Yu, Ji Xiang and his husband had not returned to the city yet, and he was worried. He said in a deep voice: "It's useless for us to worry about it. Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and we will be able to deal with it when the time comes." The way to go is to recruit civil servants and officials first, so that every household must have a male servant who is over the age of sixteen but under the age of fifty."

"It's my lord." Wu Ting responded and glanced at Zhou Jia. He suddenly realized that he had lost a lot of weight these days. He looked at Zhou Jia with some worry, "My lord, have you encountered any difficulties? I just found out about you today. I’ve lost a lot of weight!”

Zhou Jia bowed his hand to Wu Ting and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine but I have a bad appetite. Tell General Ouyang that we will fully cooperate with him."

"Yes, sir." Wu Ting retreated first, and Ruyi hurried from the outside to Zhou Jia's signing room. Seeing that the door was open, Zhou Jia was immersed in her work while rubbing her temples. She shouted excitedly, "Master, Madam He Jixiang is back, but the old man still hasn’t come back.”

Zhou Jia held the pen and stared blankly at Ruyi for a few breaths before coming back to his senses. He held the pen and ran towards the back office. Ruyi watched Zhou Jia run away like a gust of wind, smiled and closed the door, muttering to himself. He said, "When the madam comes back, the master will come back to life."

Zhou Jia ran to the yard, and Gu Yu sat at the door of the main room and said to him with a smile: "Master, you are back! My wife has already gone to bed when she comes back."

Zhou Jia nodded, gently opened the door and walked into the room. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his sleeping wife dreamily. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, feeling the big stone in his heart. He put it down immediately, and then realized that he was still holding the pen tightly in his hand. He shook his head and smiled. Then he remembered that he had to go and see how Wu Ting was recruiting civilians and doctors. He reluctantly looked back at Li Yu glanced at him before gently closing the door and going out.

Chu Sihai received the letter brought back by Shen Shuo and hurriedly took it and sent it to Ouyang who was guarding the garrison Yamen. The two saw that Shen Shuo's letter said that Yang Ruinai, a spy of the Qi people, had been killed by him, and they were going to take advantage of the opportunity. In the winter, Tiangan Wuzao burned the Qi soldiers to death in the dense forest. After receiving the letter, Lieutenant General Ouyang took over from him and ordered the three armies, ordering him to defend Yunzhou and not allow the Qi people to enter Yunzhou.

Chu Sihai thought of the mountain fire that had just been extinguished in Luoji Mountain. He was in awe of Shen Shuo. He looked at the letter on the table and said, "The Shen family is worthy of being your majesty's uncle. They are indeed loyal and courageous and not afraid of death."

When General Ouyang thought of the three thousand soldiers who perished together with the Qi troops on Luoji Mountain, he was filled with grief. He put Shen Shuo's letter respectfully away and said to the letter: "General, I humbly accept orders, and I humbly swear that the city is here."

Chu Sihai looked at the tall and heroic General Ouyang with admiration, "General Ouyang, with loyal and brave soldiers like you and General Shen in Dayong, the Qi people will definitely be driven out of Dayong."

General Ouyang looked at Chu Sihai and said to him: "Shop Manager Chu, I don't believe that all the soldiers have been killed in the fire. Please send someone to see if there are any soldiers who survived on the mountain. Also, my wife is still waiting for the general." Regarding the news, please ask Shopkeeper Chu to bring the general’s letter to Madam, I’ll go to the top of the city to inspect it.”

"Okay, I'll send someone right now." After hearing this, Chu Sihai clasped his fists and responded, then went out and rode towards the general's mansion.

General Ouyang came to the top of the city. At this time, the whole city was on alert. There were officers and soldiers at the top of the city and below. General Ouyang looked at the generals of the three armies standing at the top of the city and below the city. He raised his arms and shouted: "Generals and soldiers of the three armies, we are trying to cross Luoji Mountain." The mountain fire that attacked us a few days ago was caused by our General Shen and his soldiers who risked their lives, ignited the kerosene, burned the forest, and all the soldiers died together. Now the life and death of General Shen and the three thousand soldiers are uncertain. Do you have confidence? Defend Yunzhou City and protect our home and country."

The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "Protect Yunzhou, protect the home and the country, protect Yunzhou, protect the home and the country." The inspiring shouts of the soldiers penetrated the sky.

Liu Yi and Mr. Qian went to various pharmacies and informed them about the recruitment of doctors during the war. After hearing this, the shopkeeper frowned and said: "There are doctors in the army! Why should we help?"

Liu Yi made an angry sound, slapped the knife on his cabinet, looked at him and asked: "Shopkeeper Luo, those soldiers are fighting at the front to protect you. If you are injured, you can go and get medical treatment, but you can't do it." ?"

The medicine shop owner trembled with fright, and hurriedly came out from behind the cabinet, bowing and smiling: "Captain Liu, I'm just talking, don't worry, my doctor will definitely come."

Mr. Qian glanced at the laughing drugstore shopkeeper, took out a piece of paper to register, and asked him to press his fingerprints. He looked at him and said sternly: "Shopkeeper Luo, if everyone is like you, then this Yunzhou Can the city still be defended? If Yunzhou City cannot be defended and the Qi people massacre the city, where will you flee to?"

Shopkeeper Luo kept holding his hands, "Sir, I understand." Mr. Qian and Liu Yi came out of the drug store and hurried to other medical clinics.

Chu Sihai sent a secret guard out of the city to look for survivors in Luoji Mountain. He hesitated and thought: It is better to wait for the secret guard to find someone to come back before telling Mrs. Mu. If General Shen is lucky enough to escape from the fire, wouldn't I be harming Mrs. Mu? Sad and sad in vain.
