Asking for civil servants is actually nothing, but Xu Dingguo felt that Gu Zhenhua was not that easy to deal with, so he was still thinking. However, Xu Er'an's eyes were circling and he had a bad idea.

The labor intensity of mines is high. Many people are on the verge of death after working for several months. Giving all these guys to An Guojun can also reduce their burdens and make Gu Zhenhua suffer a loss.

Xu Dingguo calculated that this was indeed a solution, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, since you have opened your mouth, I will send three thousand civilians to you."

"Thank you, the old general." Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The military situation is like fire, and I can't wait. It's better to ask the eldest son to help me and hand the civilians to me as soon as possible."

"Since the Duke of the State said it, I will naturally obey the order. You An, please accompany the Duke of the State and immediately call the civilians."

"As for orders, Dad, I keep the best husband and send the Duke the hands of the people!" Xu Er'an said the word "best", almost biting his back teeth.

Xu Dingguo suddenly smiled and said, "Duke, we have come out. We only eat and use food for the people. I hope the Duke will solve the problem by himself."

The old guy can’t even take it if he suffers from a big needle!

Gu Zhenhua was not interested in spitting with him, but smiled and nodded: "Elder General, if the bandit suppression is successful, it will be your credit. The court will not treat you badly."

"I am so old and I have been loyal to the court all my life, and I have no extravagant hope. I just hope that the two dogs can do more for the court one day."

"I know very well that the veteran general is sincere in serving the country. Let's do this. If you return to Xuzhou, you will be promoted to this court and promoted two young masters to deputy generals. What do the veteran general think?"

"I would like to thank Duke Ji for this!"

Xu Dingguo's face was a little better. Although he was so ill, Gu Zhenhua was quite generous. In such years, he had to place bets on a long position. Who knew that there was rain in that cloud?

Thinking of this, the old guy was not so resistant to Gu Zhenhua, and said with a smile: "The Duke of the People is here from afar. I prepare a banquet for a while, and I also invite the Duke of the People to give him a look."

As he said that, Xu Dingguo took the initiative to invite Gu Zhenhua to the back garden for a banquet, and Gu Zhenhua also followed with a smile. Luoxue Academy was originally Yuan Keli's mansion, with exquisite architecture. It has the exquisiteness and delicacy of the southeast and the solemnity and elegance of the Central Plains, which is perfectly integrated. After being changed to the academy, a large number of books were added, both a garden and a library. The collection of literary styles makes people unconsciously sublimated.

Xu Dingguo also enjoyed it very much. The maids used were all charming, handsome in their facial features, colorful clothes, like flowers, floating around them. The fragrance breeze gusts, and the lotus steps moved lightly, like dancing, which made people pleasing to the eye.

Gu Zhenhua also secretly complained in his heart that he had raised so many girls, and the old man was not afraid of dying here.

While chatting and laughing, the dishes were filled with the table, with delicacies and seas, and each dish was full of color, fragrance and flavor. However, although the things were good, Gu Zhenhua was very careful.

The old guy has a "crime" of assassinating Gao Jie. When dealing with him, he must be careful with ten thousand times. Therefore, Gu Zhenhua paid special attention to what Xu Dingguo eats and he would pick up what he would not get sick from his mouth.

The banquet was not fun. If the two talked about something unnutrition, it took about an hour before Xu Dingguo took the initiative to say goodbye and return home.

After Gu Zhenhua sent Xu Dingguo away, he immediately called Yue Polu and asked in a low voice to him: "How is Xu Er'an?"

"I just took people out of the city and prepared the civilians for us. I have someone to keep an eye on him."

Gu Zhenhua also nodded, and then said, "Tell your brothers immediately, be prepared and act tonight."

"Don't you wait for Xu Er'an to bring the civilians here?"

"The place of right and wrong should not be left for a long time. The old man gave me a warning as soon as he came, which means that his mind was not simple. What's more, we have already attacked the old man's grain ship. If we don't know what to do, the old man will be unstoppable. We will follow Xu Er'an and can still rescue him and kill him, so that the old man will feel distressed!"

"Okay!" Yue Polu agreed happily and hurriedly went to prepare.

Facts have proved that Gu Zhenhua's decision was extremely wise and escaped a murder.

After Xu Dingguo returned to the mansion, he grinned as soon as he entered the door, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Xu Erji was startled and hurriedly supported his father.

"Hey, I'm old, I'm not as good as a young man. Go and prepare a hot compress for me and ask Doctor Sun to come over. I can trust his acupuncture."

"Oh, I'll go right away!"

It turned out that the old guy was already secretly injured when he was holding up the cauldron. In order to deal with Gu Zhenhua, he had to try his best to pretend. He couldn't stand it when he returned home and lay on the bed, humming in pain.

After a while of hot compress, he found a gentleman to take acupuncture. After a long period of time, the old man finally fell asleep in a daze. But just as he got confused, Xu Erji ran in in three steps, panicked and sweaty.

"Dad, something big is wrong. Our grain ship was detained in Xuzhou!"

"What!"

When Xu Dingguo heard this, he suddenly sat up, and a clattering sound from his waist, and the old guy gritted his teeth.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Don't talk about this for now. What's going on in Xuzhou? Grain boats are our lifeblood. You can't make any mistakes!"

"Dad, Lao Zhang, who was escorting the boat, just ran back. He said that the fleet was suddenly detained in Xuzhou. At first, he thought it would cost money to handle some things, but he didn't know that the other party ate raw rice and didn't let go. After waiting for two days, he suddenly rushed onto our boat, snatched all the food, and caught people. Lao Zhang was good at water, jumped into the river, swam for more than ten miles in a row, and almost died of exhaustion in the river, and then ran back."

When Xu Dingguo heard this, his face turned pale. I don’t know who was in pain or scared.

"Hurry, take the men and surround me with Luoxue Academy!"

"Dad, Gu Zhenhua is Duke Ji, so it's probably not good to attack him."

"No, he wants our man's life!" Xu Dingguo widened his eyes: "He suddenly took care of us for soldiers, obviously he just grabbed this handle. We did not agree. As long as he left alive, he would definitely write a letter to the court. An affair with the Tartars and selling military funds is what a crime, it is enough to cut all the three of us!"

"Dad. What should I do?"

Xu Dingguo gritted his teeth and said with a sneer: "A gentleman is not a virgin, but a man is not a man. Since Gu Zhenhua wants his husband's life, he will bear him first. At worst, we can join the Qing Dynasty and have high officials and generous salaries. No one can stop us from getting promoted and making money!"

When Xu Erji heard this, he deeply agreed. What is shaving his hair and changing clothes? As long as he can get promoted and get rich, there is nothing he can't do. He hurriedly ran away: "Dad, I'll go and have some people!"

Xu Dingguo got up, regardless of the pain in his back, hurriedly put on his clothes neatly, holding the hilt of the knife, and walked out with great strides. At this time, Xu Erji also summoned more than 3,000 people, a large area of ​​blackness.

The old guy looked at these subordinates and gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, everyone eats my husband's things on weekdays and uses them. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a moment. It's time for everyone to serve me."

"Please give me instructions, we will all listen to you!"

Xu Dingguo shouted: "Okay, now follow this general to surround Luoxue Academy and catch Gu Zhenhua!"

These soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they could only follow them honestly. They put on their horses with their guns, and Xu Dingguo and Xu Erji rushed all the way to Luoxue Academy.

When I got outside the academy, the old guy waved his hand and several soldiers went up and smashed the door desperately.

"Open the door quickly, Duke, the Lord of the General Town wants to see you if you have something to do, open the door quickly!"

After smashing for a while, there was no movement at all, Xu Dingguo immediately frowned.

"What's going on? Break the door open!"

A dozen soldiers brought a piece of log and hit the mansion gate hard. With a bang, the mansion gate was knocked open. The guys rushed in and looked around and they were stunned.

"Sir, everyone is gone?"

"What?" Xu Dingguo suddenly said in his head and said hurriedly: "Chasing, chase me quickly, don't let them go!"

Just when Xu Dingguo was furious, Gu Zhenhua had already left Juzhou with his soldiers. When he felt something was wrong, he took Yue Polu and others to quietly touch the city gate.

Gu Zhenhua's men were so elite. They were much stronger than the miscellaneous fish in Xu Dingguo. They grabbed more than fifty soldiers guarding the gate without any effort, tied them up with ropes, and threw them in the gatehouse. Then Gu Zhenhua and his soldiers sneaked out of the city gate and met with the soldiers temporarily stationed outside.

A total of 500 cavalrymen followed Xu Er'an's team tightly and chased them out. After midnight, Xu Dingguo and the others finally discovered that Gu Zhenhua had escaped, and the old guy immediately chased after him.

The three groups were separated by less than half a day. As the saying goes, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind it, like a string of grasshoppers, biting the other one.

Xu Er'an ran in front with his men. When it was dawn, he finally brought more than 100 subordinates to the mine.

At this time, the coolies in the mine had already started working, one by one, wearing rags, carrying shovels and picks, and carrying bamboo baskets. One by one, like animals, drove down the well to mine coal.

"Everything is for me to hurry up. If anyone dares to be lazy, don't eat!"

The supervisor whipped hard on an old man, and a blood mark suddenly appeared.

"Stop fighting!" At this time, Xu Er'an finally arrived. When the supervisors saw that the young general was coming, they all knelt on the ground in a flattering manner.

"See the young general, please tell me what instructions do you have? You must do as your subordinates."

"Well, I picked out three thousand old, weak and sick, and picked up those sick seedlings. I could find them all."

"Young General, what do you want them to do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just listen to my orders!"

"Yes!" The group of people immediately turned around and moved. They dragged Liba over and lined up into the old-fashioned team.

Xu Er'an looked at these guys who were almost dying and showed a smug smile on his face.

But at this moment, suddenly, the sound of golden swords and iron horses came from outside the mine, and a cavalry suddenly came in. The person who rushed in front waved his weapons. Killing people was like chopping melons and vegetables, unstoppable.

In an instant, Xu Er'an's pupils tightened, but in the coolie's team, a person showed an ecstasy expression.

"It's the Lord, it's the Lord! God has eyes!"
