The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

After the test was completed, the soldiers returned to their respective camps.

After a day of labor and a battle with the imperial armored forces, the soldiers were exhausted. As soon as they returned to their rooms, they collapsed onto their beds and fell fast asleep.

Li Tian thought the house was too small, so he built a bed out of a few broken pieces of wood in the earthen temple and lived there alone.

It was past midnight, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Li Tian suddenly woke up from his sleep.

I could vaguely see a light shining in the courtyard.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the house of Chuncanniang and Qiao Sanniang, the door of which had been ajar by the wind.

Under the large lights of Douban

A slender figure with her back to me was holding a ladle and pouring water over me, one ladleful at a time.

It's Qiao Sanniang.

Taking a shower!

boom!

A surge of adrenaline rushed to Li Tian's head.

It is the age when one is full of vigor and vitality.

Li Tian couldn't help but think of his wives at home: Chen Yushu, Shen Yurong, Liu Qingqing, and Tie Lihua.

Oh, and there's also Su Santao, the captain who serves General Chen!

That slender and voluptuous figure is so alluring!

Li Tian understood the principle of not looking at what is improper, so he only glanced at it before turning around to face the earthen wall behind him.

He just missed his wife terribly.

Chen Yushu's gentleness and thoughtfulness!

Shen Yurong's stunning beauty and noble bearing!

Liu Qingqing's wild rebellion!

Li Tian drifted off to sleep again.

The next day, the sound of a rooster crowing woke Li Tian from his sleep.

Li Tian ran out and saw that Chuncan Niang had returned and was standing in a chicken coop feeding the chickens.

Qiao Sanniang was setting the table with bowls and chopsticks. It seems that women in war are quite different. Although many people died last night, neither of these two women was scared away.

"Where did this chicken come from?" Li Tian asked, walking over to the cage and looking at it.

"Wu Laoliu caught it; I don't know where he got it from."

As the two were talking, Wu Laoliu came out of the house.

"Sixth Brother, where did this chicken come from?"

Li Tian then asked Wu Laoliu.

"It came to our camp in the middle of the night last night, I didn't know," Wu Laoliu said with a smile.

Li Tian couldn't help but smile. In ancient times, without alarm clocks, raising a rooster to crow was a wonderful thing.

Before long, the food was ready. Li Tian looked at the food on the table and then turned to ask Wu Laoliu.

"Has Chen Jing not returned yet? It's only about 70 li from Wolf Head Fortress to Nankai City. Judging by the time, he should be back by now!"

"I'm afraid General Chen has kept them here. After all, killing the imperial armored soldiers would be a great achievement."

"Alright, let's call the brothers to eat."

After a brief conversation, Wu Laoliu called his brothers out for dinner.

There is no shortage of rice.

Including the cured meat that my brothers brought, it was quite a feast.

After finishing their meal, Li Tianzheng discussed with his brothers whether they should go to Yujia Village to harvest rice together.

From afar, they heard someone shouting from under the suspension bridge.

"Is the garrison commander of Wolf's Head Fortress present? Please come out and answer!"

"My husband, Mr. Zhou, is here!"

Li Tian frowned slightly and turned to ask Zhao Yong beside him.

"Do you know who this Mr. Zhou is?"

Zhao Yong has been guarding Wolf Head Fort for over a year, so he should be very familiar with the surrounding area.

"The third master of Zhoujiazhuang is rich and powerful. He's here to find Qiao Sanniang!" Zhao Yong said calmly.

"Hmm?" Li Tian's gaze fell on Qiao Sanniang. "What's going on?"

After hesitating for a while, Qiao San Niang decided to tell the truth.

"I am a concubine that Master Zhou bought."

"He often beat me, scolded me, and treated me like an animal."

"I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran to the military camp to hide."

Then Qiao Sanniang straightened her chest, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "Li Wuzhang, if you're in a difficult position, just hand me over."

"It's just a matter of dying anyway."

"You don't want to go back?"

Li Tian smiled, thinking that in these chaotic times of war, it was already difficult for a woman to find a place to stay.

He certainly didn't want to drive people to their deaths.

But before that, he had to hear what Qiao San Niang herself had to say.

"Master Zhou is a beast!"

"If I go back, he'll beat me to death."

"What would I do if I went back?"

Qiao San Niang said angrily, her eyes even reddening.

"Got it!"

Li Tian nodded and said to Wu Laoliu.

"Old Wu, come with me to take a look."

Li Tian and Wu Laoliu went up to the top of the wall and saw four or five people standing under the suspension bridge. The person in the lead was wearing a brocade robe and looked to be around forty years old.

Six people followed behind him, all dressed as black-clad warriors, quite different from the villagers of Yu Family Village that Li Tian had met a few days ago.

Upon seeing Li Tian, ​​the group didn't even bother to bow. The one in the lead spoke with an arrogant expression.

"You must be the soldier who was just transferred to guard Wolf Head Fortress! Hand over Qiao Sanniang to me right now!"

"My master Zhou knows your loyal army, and some of your army's pay was donated by my master Zhou."

"As long as you hand over Qiao Sanniang, we will naturally reward the brothers of the righteous army handsomely."

"If you don't pay, hehe, when my master Zhou gets angry, it's no joke."

"Qiao Sanniang is not in my camp; she left on her own a few days ago."

"Go look somewhere else!"

Li Tian refused outright.

"fart!"

The people below the city wall cursed loudly, "Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Qiao Sanniang is hiding in Wolf Head Fortress. She's been hiding for over a year. If you don't hand her over now, you're going against our Master Zhou."

"Can you handle the consequences?"

Li Tian turned to Zhao Yong, who was standing behind him, and asked, "Have you dealt with people before?"

Zhao Yong lowered his head in shame. "Yes, Master Zhou has forty or fifty soldiers under his command, which is several times more than our Wolf Head Fortress."

"Master Zhou also frequently donated money to our rebel army."

"The brothers couldn't withstand the pressure, so they handed over Qiao Sanniang."

"But this woman, every time she's handed over, she runs back to the military camp and hides for less than half a month."

"We get beaten up every time, covered in bruises, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Understood."

Li Tian nodded and shouted towards the outside of the suspension bridge.

"Go back and tell your Master Zhou that Qiao Sanniang is not in the camp."

"If you dare send anyone to harass us again, don't blame us Wolfhead Fortress for being impolite."

"How dare you!"

The man in the brocade robe seemed to have become too arrogant. He suddenly took a step forward, pointed at the city wall, and started cursing.

"You, a mere soldier guarding the city, dare to stop our Uncle Zhou from doing his work."

"Lower the suspension bridge!"

"Let's go in and search ourselves!"

"If we find Qiao Sanniang, you'll be sorry."

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."

Li Tian silently recited a sentence in his heart.

He raised his right arm.

He didn't intend to hurt anyone; his crossbow bolt was aimed at a spot half a meter in front of the person.

"Lower the suspension bridge right now!"

The man was still shouting and cursing incessantly.

suddenly,

With a whoosh, a short arrow flew over and landed not far in front of the man's toes.

laugh!

The arrow's tail vibrated.

The shouting stopped abruptly. The man, his face ashen with rage, paused for a moment, then pointed at the suspension bridge and shouted again, "Our Master Zhou is..."

He had just said a few words,

With a hiss,

A short arrow grazed his scalp, scattering his hair, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed down his face.
