Chapter 12: Meat is on your feet

I remember my sister Mi Yu mentioned once that King Xiansheng was killed by thieves. Xiong Jing only felt incredible that the king of a country would be killed by thieves. How could this be possible? However, now, he completely believed it - the bronze sword crossing his neck was still covered with blood, and he had just cut down people.

"What we ask for is to avoid leaving the city for a while. If the old man helps, he will definitely not kill your little master." The old man said. There are not a thousand soldiers of Chu State on the shore, but he has Xiong Jing in his hand and has completely grasped the initiative on Qinghan's boat.

"Is this true?" Yu wanted to step forward again, but Ge stopped him. He knew that although the Ranger was desperate, he still obeyed his promise.

"You have finally heard of the name of goodness and evil." The black-faced man who wanted to kill people at the beginning reported his name indifferently.

Ge has heard of the name of good and evil, but he never knew it was two people. He glanced at Xiong Jing, and Xiong Jing could only smile bitterly at him, and there was no sense of superiority at this time.

"A word is certain." Ge agreed in a deep voice, then turned his head to Yu and the others and said, "Come away the sword."

"Your Highness..." Four swords were facing each other, and there were Chu soldiers, Yu and Qin outside, who wanted to kill them, but unfortunately they were afraid of being attacked by rats.

"Collection of the sword!" Ge's voice became stern for the first time, and Yu and Qin had to collect the sword.

"This is the way to treat guests." The older man called Shange, and his sword was taken away, but his brother Elai's sword was still standing in front of Xiong Jing. "What do you call the old man?" Shange smiled and looked kind, as if the person who threatened with the sword just now was not him.

"The lowly man, no name or surname." Ge looked at the unswerved sword, his heart kept hanging. "You should just collect the sword. If the city guard saw someone tapping the sword in the boat, there might be something unexpected."

"Collection of the sword." Shanyou ordered his younger brother. The two dragged the village teacher to the south of the city. Seeing that the military flag on the front of the city was mobilized, they knew that the city gate was on guard and could not go out, so they chose a Qinghan boat. As long as the car and boat were not used as vendors, they were all powerful families. The powerful families always had privileges and had much greater hope of leaving the city than ordinary people. Xiong Jing was also unlucky, and they just happened to be hit by them. Fortunately, the incident of leaving the school to go to Zijin Mountain was extremely secret, and he changed his clothes when he came out.

"Oh..., where is this...? Why am I here?" The village master who was knocked unconscious while running away finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a different hot market. So he asked.

"This is the boat to leave the city." Shange smiled. He was drinking Xiong Jing's cup of tea. When he first drank it, he felt a little bitter, which could quench thirst and produce saliva, and a little tea fragrance. "After leaving the city, the city officials will not find you. Go home."

"But I have already stolen, according to Chu Law..." The town master was still a little confused after seeing the people in the boat. He accepted his guilt.

"How is Chu Lu?" Shange didn't say anything, and evil came to scream. "The laws of the world were all the laws of the poor and the laws of the common people, so they were not as guilty as the rich, so why should you nag Chu Lu? This is hardware, take it home and live a good life."

A piece of golden cake was thrown out and landed on the mat with a thud. The boat was dark, but the golden cake became more and more dazzling.

During the Warring States Period, the countries continued to conquer and attacked the people. In order to achieve strength, they tried every means to exploit the people. There was a tax on land, a tax on city, a tax on city, a tax on mouth, a tax on households, and a rent on land, military tax on army tax, salt tax on even iron tools.

The taxes were extremely heavy, and as the population grew, not every household had a hundred acres of land. As a result, ordinary farmers earned less than 1,000 yuan a year, and had no extra money every year. Hardware was five kilograms of gold, worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Ordinary families could not save so much money in their lifetime, and the village master was shocked. But what surprised him was not only that, but Erlai reached out to grab Xiong Jing's belt. With the sound of jingling, two strings of ornaments were pulled down.

"This is worth three or three, and it is also used to support the mother and wife." Ei Lai shouted, and he did not mind robbing the child at all.

"Irregular!" Xiong Jing was humiliated and Yu was shocked. The sword was pulled out again. Under the influence of it, Qin's sword also came out of the sheath.

"How is it?" Ei Lai didn't draw his sword, and a dagger was already pressed against Xiong Jing's vest. He spoke with confidence: "What you wear, eat, wear, and use are all for the people's corn. Now I'll return it, what's wrong?"

"However!" Xiong Jing was calm and remained indifferent. Ge was full of anger, but had to agree.

"Haha." Seeing Ge agreeing so, Ei laughed and pointed at the two strings of ornaments on the mat and said to the township master: "Please keep it! The useless ornaments for noble people. What can the poor people not get food for several years? What can they not get? "

"Today's Master's humiliation will be reported." Yu closed his sword again, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of evil and goodness in his heart.

"How can a powerful dog have ambition?" Eilai disdained Yu's threat, Shanqu said with a smile: "It's just two strings of ornaments. Your master really cares?" After he said that, he looked at Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing did not answer, and his eyes did not dodge. "The swords used by both are Zhao Jian, but Zhao people?" Shanqu asked again.

"How is Zhao?" Ge replied. What he was most worried about was that Xiong Jing's identity was exposed. Fortunately, the ornament was changed when he went out, otherwise...

"Qi Zhao has many swordsmen, and my friend is also a Zhao person." Shanqu probably just wants to bring closer relationships. "Since he is a Zhao person, I should treat him politely. I will put it away."

Eihe looked fierce and evil, but he still obeyed his brother. As soon as he pulled his dagger, the atmosphere in the cabin relaxed again. Until the boat reached the water gate, the shouts of soldiers came from the shore, and the atmosphere in the cabin became tighter again.

"The water gate search is very strict. Now people are standing outside the cabin. The three of them may not be able to leave the city." The soldiers just shouted at the order of Yin Guanyu, and everyone in the cabin could hear it clearly, so Ge ​​said this. "It's better to go ashore here..."

"There are soldiers on the shore, how can you live here?" Shange still smiled and was not worried about searching.

"Catching thieves in the city, all the guests of the boats stand outside the cabin..." Qinghan's boat kept moving forward, and the louder the orders of the soldiers went forward, and the more depressed the atmosphere in the cabin. Although Eilai took away the dagger, his position was closer to Xiong Jing than before, and Ge Heyu's breathing was heavier, staring at the two of them, afraid that they would do something.

"Wait for a while!" Shan pointed outside the cabin, his tone unquestionable.

"No." Ge shook his head and took a small step forward, but when the dagger reappeared, he had to take his men to the hatch.

There were four people left in the cabin, and the knights were not afraid at all. Instead, the village master was restless. Shan went to look at Xiong Jing and smiled and said, "Are you afraid?"

"What's the use of meat on the chopping table?" Xiong Jing was actually afraid, but he was an adult after all. When he encountered robbers, he was calm and unwise.

"Shan Ge Duo Xiong Jing took a few more eyes. He robbed many rich people and powerful people. After receiving the title of "Shan Ge Wei's evil", no one was afraid of. "Are you a Zhao person?"

"My mother is from Zhao." Xiong Jing didn't want to answer, but he didn't dare to refuse to avoid causing dissatisfaction with the robbers, nor did he dare to lie to make them unhappy.

"It is difficult for Zhongming Ding Food House to have a smart and wise man." Shange looked at Xiong Jing with some regret, "Even if there is, he is still jealous of everyone."

"Where can you choose where you were born?" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, "Will you really let me go after you leave the city?"

"A gentleman respects his promises, do you think we are people who go against our word?" Eilai was unhappy. He was born in poverty and often regarded himself as a gentleman after learning swordsmanship. Now a child is questioned about his credit and is immediately unhappy.

"Soldiers found out the boats in the city, how did you get out of the city..."

"We have the ability to escape." Shanqu understood Xiong Jing's worries. This little boy was afraid that he would be taken as a shield again - the servants would care about him, and the Chu soldiers might not care about him.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested until the voices in front became more and more complicated, and the boat swayed, and a soldier boarded the ship.

"Where is the rumbling sound?" The sergeant said in a muffled voice, and then said, "Is there anyone in the boat?"

"Is there anyone in the boat?" Ge Buhao from outside answered. The soldier who saw that something was wrong asked again, and his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"Cough..." Shange made a sound. He raised the curtain and bowed to the soldiers first, then said seriously: "We are ordered by the Order of the Emperor to leave the city, which is related to the secret, so it is not convenient to leave the cabin."

"Is there a talisman?" The sergeant on the cabin was about to draw his sword and swing his sword, but when he heard Ling Yin stopped his gesture.

"There is a command arrow here." Shanquzhen took out a command arrow from his arms, which made Xiong Jing and Ge stunned.

The soldiers took the order arrow and did not dare to neglect it. After seeing it, they went ashore to ask the military officer to take a closer look. After some trouble, the military officer personally boarded the boat and returned the order arrow. Finally, he performed an empty ceremony before leaving with the soldiers. Ge and Yu entered the cabin again, their eyes were not entirely the hostility they had before, but were a little confused. No one would have thought that the desperate raid would actually have the order arrow from the Lingyin Mansion. Could it be that Lingyin and the raid had a connection?

"Since he is a Zhao man, why not leave with us? The world is so great, how happy is the hero? How can he be a powerful dog?" Shange read out the doubts in the eyes of several people, intending to take the opportunity to attract people. When he broke in just now, he was almost killed by Yu Yijian.

Seeing that the two were indifferent, they smiled again: "Even if you seek wealth, you don't have to be in Chu? If you come, you will definitely get wealth."

Concubine Zhao was the one who stole the talisman and saved Zhao Shi. Ge, Yu, Qin and others were all dowry ministers. Even if they did not have such a strong relationship, as Xiong Jing's guards, they would inevitably be rich and honorable in the future. The one who is good at going to "must get rich and honor" has no effect.
