0893 North to Xingyang

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Mi County is located on Xingyang, the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain, on the occasion of Yongjia, the Sikong Xunfan of the Central Dynasty once formed the Xingtai here, and it suddenly became a sudden extinction, and there has been no trace yet.

Today, Mi County does not belong to any part of the world, and there is no strong force in the realm. The villagers scattered among the mountains, rivers and lakes, and have no subordinates to each other. Occasionally, the impatient and lonely men cannot bear the poverty life, and are called by the rich and powerful men in the village to go out for a walk, or they go back to their hometown in a mess.

This place is neither a key or a famous city. Apart from the occasional invasion of bandits passing through the border, it can actually retain some peace in this chaotic world.

There is a short hill in the county. The stream flows down the hill, watering a fertile soil that is not too large. There are liberated beans and seedlings in the fields, and there are more than a dozen simple houses standing beside the hills. There are some chickens, ducks, dolphins and dogs in the fence in front of the houses.

Some farmers mow grass and water seedlings in the farmland. On the slope ridges, there are peasants sitting on the ground. They flexibly weave the fermented hemp silk with their hands. In the woods not far away, there are children running in the grass and picking berries and stuffing them into their mouths. After the peel is bitten through, the sour juice flows out. The child's tender facial features are wrinkled into a ball of sourness, and the thin body is so sour that it can't help but wiggle them. However, when the bright red and ripe berries appear in the field of vision, they still can't help but reappear and pick them and throw them into their mouths.

However, under this peaceful appearance, an unusual throbbing is growing and brewing. The villagers are chatting in their spare time, and there is a kind of unconcealed worry in their tone.

"Do you know? Last night, the neighbor of A Si went upstairs to take a shower at night, and even caught a swollen head in the stream..."

"Yes, then A Si still thought that he was caught by a mountain ghost who went out to eat people. He was so scared that he dared not go out."

"No wonder, I returned home last night and kept shouting. I was so hot that my tongue was drooping for a long time. I refused to drink a sip of stream water. I was almost thirsty..."

As the conversation was made, everyone couldn't help but look at the stream that was still clear and felt chill in their hearts.

"I'm afraid it may not be the mountain ghost..."

A farmer who looked over forties, with a tall skeleton and a wrinkled look on his wrinkled face sighed and stared at the upstream of the stream. His left fingers were broken, and there was a bulging scar on his chin, as if the marks left after the knife wound healed.

Hearing this person say this, everyone's faces changed color, they all came to the farmer, and asked in a low voice with tantrums: "Brother, can you see something unusual?"

"Yes, Ashan, you are the only one in our village who has gone out in the early years and has the most knowledgeable knowledge. Could it be that there is something bad about it?"

More than a dozen villagers in this village have the surname He. The farmer He Shan, who had scars on his body, also went out to travel when he was young. Later, he returned with scars and then got married and had children in the village, keeping a silent discussion on foreign affairs.

At this moment, seeing everyone surrounded him, the man's face showed a look of remembrance and remembrance, and gradually a cold sweat appeared on his forehead. After a moment, he suddenly sighed and pointed to the short hill and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say... In a few days of slack farming, everyone should follow me up the mountain. Let's make a hidden place first."

As he said that, he carried the wooden hoe and walked home.

This answer is naturally not satisfactory. The villagers each have their own grudges, and many younger Ding Zhuang couldn't help but sneer: "Uncle went out and suffered a hard time, and he was afraid that he didn't know what happened!"

At this moment, a ox cart drove here on the north side of the hill. There was an old farmer and two young strong men on the ox cart. One of the young men pulled the old cow and waved to the villagers from afar, shouting: "A big disaster, a big disaster! We followed our grandfather to go to the North River to exchange for salt. The Liu Fort in Beixi has disappeared. There is blood inside and outside. The whole village seems to be dead..."

Not long after, more than a dozen households in the village gathered in the courtyard of the clan's hometown, listening to the three of them telling each other intermittently about what they saw when they went out. The Liu Fort in Shangxi is located in the north of the hills more than ten miles away. It is the largest gathering place for people around. There are hundreds of families, men, women, young and old, and they are almost a thousand people. They are not even seen. They originally envied a fort, leaving only traces left after the fires on the ground.

"Ashan, what evil happened?"

Although the signs are clear, the old grandfather still had a little luck asking the middle-aged farmer He Shan.

Seeing that the villagers were all looking at him, He Shan's face became even more worried and said tremblingly: "What else can there be evil? It must have been killed and robbed! This should not be done by ordinary bandits, it should be a group of soldiers. It should be a fight to the village, and those soldiers were few and useless, so they plundered the villagers to supplement. Grandpa, let's go, Liu's Fort is only more than ten miles away from our village. Now it's a small village, and now it's not seen. There may be a scattered crowd on the fort to lead the soldiers to rob our village..."

"How could it be..."

"Impossible, our Zhuangzi has no grudge against the Liu family castle..."

"It will take more than two months for the bean seedlings in the fields to ripen..."

"If they dare to come, then they will fight to the death!"

As soon as Heshan finished speaking, the villagers shouted. Although the words were different, there was only one core, that is, they could not bear to give up this cold home and leave their hometown.

"Everyone can stop!"

After the grandfather waved the bamboo stick in his hand and shouted a sudden sound, the shouting inside and outside the house paused. However, before he could say anything, a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the village, from far to near, gradually becoming clearer.

"Yes, it's a horse... the sound of horse hooves... it's too late, it's too late!"

He heard this sound, He Shan's face was pale.

"Well come, you can come with me to strengthen your strength. Let's fight these dog thieves!"

A young man shouted, pulled out the rusty knives tied between his ribs, and his eyes were filled with a hint of excitement.

"You're going to die! You're going to kill the whole village..."

He Shan, who had been depressed, suddenly paused his feet and roared, stood up and slapped the young man, and then said tremblingly: "What food is there in the village? You can bring it with baskets. The young ones will pull the young ones up, and quickly run behind the stream. How many people are escaped? The men and women who are up forty years, and they will follow me to help grandpa to deliver food..."

The sudden eruption of Heshan made the villagers intimidate. For a moment, no one opposed it and went in and out in chaos. No matter how much Heshan shouted, he could not restrain these terrified villagers. At this time, a team of hundreds of knights had wade through the stream and rushed into the village.

"Who is talking about it in the village? Come out quickly!"

Hundreds of powerful soldiers stopped their horses in front of the village and shouted condescendingly.

Seeing the soldiers wearing armor, swords, bows and guns, the villagers became even more frightened. The young man who had been clamoring for the past was so scared that he trembled like a sieve and did not dare to speak. In the end, He Shan walked forward tremblingly, and was still several feet away from the knights, and knelt down and bowed down. He walked forward and said with a trembling voice: "Xiao, Xiaomin is the leader of the village people. No, I don't know what the king and marquis have to do? If you take food, you must give it all your family to provide it, just to ask the king and marquis not to hurt the villagers..."

"This owner is interesting!"

Among the knights, one year, the young knights who were in the 17th and 18th year were different from each other, both armor and armor. They were obviously the leader of this team of knights. When he heard He Shan's reply, he couldn't help but smiled in surprise. Although the villagers were trembling in their words, they could still express their meaning clearly, which was rare.

"It turns out that he is the village head here, so there is no need to be frightened and get up and answer. If there is any edible horse food in the village, prepare it first. I will take a break and will not harm the villagers."

While speaking, the knights divided more than twenty cavalry and swam around the village. More than twenty other people entered the village and then walked out to show that there was no danger, so everyone dismounted.

Seeing that these knights did not start a killing immediately, He Shan felt more at ease. He was hopeless to escape, and was afraid of angering these fierce soldiers. He hurriedly summoned men and women to clean up the houses in various places and welcomed the soldiers into the room.

There were horses in the team to carry the money. Since the villagers came forward to work on their behalf, the soldiers sent several people to guide the villagers to drink horses and sweat, mix and raise them. The young soldier pulled He Shan to sit in front of the gate of the old tribe's courtyard, frowned and asked about the local conditions and landscape conditions in this place, and especially focused on asking about the capture and burning of Liu's fortress on the north side of the hill.

"These thieves are really annoying, and they don't even let go of the scrambled babies! If they can be tracked and discovered, they will definitely cut off the thieves and vent their anger!"

The soldiers sat on the ground, talking about each other, and looked indignant.

He heard these comments, He Shan realized that these cavalrymen were not the ones who massacred Liu's Fort, but they did not dare to relax. He had left his hometown for a few years before, and knew that no one would be good at this world. If they were angry, their entire farm would suffer a catastrophe.

So when the young soldier asked, he racked his brains and answered questions. After a while, he saw that the soldier was full of harmony in the question and answer, so he plucked up the courage to ask, "I don't know where the lord and lord come from?"

"We are the king's army under the command of Governor Shen in Huainan. I wonder if the owner of the manor can hear it?"

The young soldier replied with a smile, with a look of pride.

"The King of Huainan? Is it the Tiansheng Fei Paste, the Huainan of Jiangliuji? This is all heard from the people of Liushibao, saying that Huainan is a paradise in the sky..."

Hearing He Shan say this, the soldiers around him burst into laughter. The young soldier patted He Shan's shoulder and said with a smile: "What the owner said is right. We are Huainan from the paradise of heaven. Governor Shen led a army of 100,000 to Xingyang, and has already taken down several counties. However, there are still thieves fleeing to the countryside for harm, so they chased and wiped out. If the villagers can provide the thieves, the Governor's Office will be rewarded after the thieves are wiped out. From then on, the people in the village can also return to the royal sect, live and work in peace, and be good at raising the land."

He Shan didn't feel it when he heard this. It was a blessing that the villagers of their hometown were not harmed by the military, so how could they dare to expect any reward? But seeing the soldiers' armored clothes and the cold light of their swords flowing, they could tell that they were not ordinary people, and they couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is full of good use, and you must be a famous general!"

Hearing the careful compliment of the owner, the soldier couldn't help laughing and said, "I dare not be called a lord, I am just a soldier under the command of Governor Chen."

Another soldier next to him smiled and said, "The owner of the manor may not know the name of the military lieutenant, but our general, Guo Song and the envoy of Guo, don't know if the owner of the manor has ever heard of it?"

"Guo, Guo Envoy?"

Hearing the soldiers' words, not only He Shan himself, but other people from the villages near the village who were making stoves and boiling water also stopped and looked over. An old man couldn't help but tremble: "Zhu, are all the lords and lords really the troops of General Guo? General Guo has really led his army back to Xingyang?"

Before he finished speaking, he was crying: "General Guo returned to the county, and the lives of the villagers can finally be protected..."
