Chapter 10 Ultimate
"You! You!"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Madam Su, although Xie Li didn't agree to Grandma Zhao's proposal, it would be unreasonable if he let it go. So he thought of a compromise..."
"What's the solution?"
"Xie Li wants to make a fuss and asks to get engaged to Miss Su. Oh, don't be anxious. Write a marriage letter and take it away by the two parents. When the Qin army retreats in the future, or when it comes to other places, as long as there is no extremely special situation, such as a bad mood or a headache and fever, the engagement will be effective. At that time, the two parents will ask for a date and then marry again? As for the ceremony of the conscript, the Xie family is poor and can only take out half of the corn from the family. I hope Miss Su will forgive me."
Although Su Huixue was smart, she still sorted out Xie Li’s words for a long time before she understood them. Then she said incredible to Xie Li: “You… don’t have to do this. Although I don’t go out often, I heard that most people in the city are on the verge of being out of food. Although you don’t have much corn, they are still life-saving things. They shouldn’t be distributed to my family like this.”
"Alas... if you are poor, you will be safe; if you are "prosperous", you will help both families. After all, we are close neighbors and old acquaintances. If you just ignore it, it will be inappropriate."
"Then you add those extremely special conditions, and... why?"
Su Huixue asked in confusion, but now she speaks a little hesitantly.
Xie Li smiled slightly and just said, "If there is no other problem, I will think you are the default."
I didn't expect that I would coax and deceive myself if I did a good deed. Now I am in a mess, not a rich and stable place in Jiangdong. Maybe one day the city will be destroyed and everyone will return to the Pure Land.
This statement is just to give Su Huixue an acceptable condition. At least you can survive first. As for the others, let’s talk about it after you can escape from the city.
Please ask Qin and Zhao to leave, and Xie Li briefly explained this proposal.
Qin Shi calmed down. She had been struggling before. Her son was getting older and older. She must have wanted to get married. But she always felt that she could not count the choice of the woman alone. Now her son's method is just a buffer period, so she agreed happily.
Seeing that his granddaughter had no objection, Grandma Zhao nodded and agreed. Moreover, judging from the situation, it seemed that it was a countermeasure that the two of them discussed together, and she felt relieved in her heart. Although she had not married directly now and had fulfilled her wish, at least she would have guaranteed it in the future.
This matter has been done. Su Huixue has returned to Qin's former expression, but now she has a lot of apology and helplessness. She has started to learn about literacy since she was studying. Although she has known more than ordinary people, now she is at this age and can't help but feel longing when she reads like "The White-Head Song".
But my luck is not good, and my family is in trouble. Now, for the sake of my grandmother and my own survival, I have to sign this engagement with others. For a moment, I feel infinite sorrow.
The next morning.
Xie Li came to the army to report that the military officer Cao was a fat man named Liu Qi. After taking him into the organization, he handed him a booklet, and after instructing him to "do his best to do his best", he left staggeringly.
When I opened the booklet, the records were very detailed. Various arms were classified into categories, including rolling wood, rolling stone, spear, arrow, sword, etc. Each category clearly states the number of people in each battalion and the storage consumption status.
Xiangyang, as an important town in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was also a place where the Huan family of the Shi clan had been operating for a long time, and its material capital was extremely sufficient.
However, because the Qin army sieges too many people, more than 100,000, and the recent fierce offensives, it consumes a lot. In addition, the Qin army besieged the city and did not receive any support and help. Now the arrows in the city are becoming increasingly tense.
After closing the booklet, Xie Li put on his pen and ink and walked up the city wall.
At this time, the garrison on the northern city wall was Du Ba's camp, and Zhu Xu personally led one of the five divisions.
The two battalions are bounded by the city gates, and the troops are divided into east and west and on duty.
The Qin army had not conquered the city today, so they could only see a few warships parade and surveillance on the river.
There were not many soldiers on the city wall. Xie Li first recorded the big rocks and other big rolls in the book at a glance, and then found a team to record the loss of other arms.
Xie Li still didn't see Du Ba. I don't know how much injury he suffered, but he hasn't gotten up yet.
When he saw Feng Sheng, Xie Li walked forward with a smile and said, "I congratulations to Feng Shi for his promotion. Oh, no, I will change his words to Feng Team in the future."
Although Feng Sheng was still wrapped in cloth strips, his solid face was rosy. He should have eaten a lot of meat rewarded by the army yesterday. At this time, he also smiled and said to Xie Li: "Jing Xuan, isn't it just a title, what's the point of being particular? Just call it casually."
"Captain Feng is so free and easy, Xie Li admires it."
"Oh, stop here." Feng Sheng patted Xie Li's shoulder and then said, "But you boy made me look at me with admiration. It's not difficult to be brave and cruel during wars. You can even write with your pen. Why didn't I see it a few days ago?"
Xie Li smiled helplessly and said, "Captain Feng is such a bad word. It is easy for you and your brothers to fight hard, but it is difficult for me to reach the sky. I am not afraid of the team making jokes. When Qin Jun came the night before yesterday, I almost peeed my pants."
"Hahaha!" Feng Sheng laughed: "Jing Xuan, stop joking. I still remember your brother Yingzi clearly that day. If you say that you are wet with your pants, it will not be your turn. Qin Jun is almost the same as urinating."
The two of them were joking for a while before Xie Li started counting.
The rolling wood on the stack of arrows looked quite damaged. Xie Li walked up to see if he could continue to use it.
The rolling wood was hung by a wooden roller rack, with barbs on it glinting dark red. Even after being washed by rain, there was no trace of color diminishing.
The section in front of the shelf had already tilted, and Xie Li poked out the arrow bush, but before he could see the wooden shelf, he was shocked by the scene outside the city wall.
