Zhai Xuan is busy searching now, and as for Xu Xiangtian, he didn't pay attention to it at all, but just cooperated to rectify Zhou Bo. "Words * love * first * hair "words * love * first * hair e novel?? ww?w?.?1xiaoshuo The reason why he didn't go out to frame Zhou Bo in person, but let Xu Xiangtian come out, was that he hoped to leave this shield, and if something happened in the future, he could push this shield out.
Xu Xiangtian lingered on Zhai Xuan's side for a long time, and he didn't even meet Zhai Xuan's people a few times, let alone find out any news. He was very anxious, because since Zhou Bo could escape, it meant that Zhou Bo still had his own forces, and if Zhou Bo opened to seek revenge on himself, he would not have a large number of soldiers to protect him like Zhai Xuan and Li Hui, it would be a big tragedy.
After that, he planned to go to Li Hui's side to take a look, hoping to beg Li Hui to send some people to Xu's mansion, which could be regarded as a little more reassuring. However, as soon as he came to the door of Li Huixingyuan, he was stopped, and the soldiers did not let Xu Xiangtian in at all.
Xu Xiangtian suddenly felt that he had helped Li Hui and Zhai Xuan, but at this time, these two people turned their backs and didn't recognize anyone! He was angry and anxious for a while, so he had to run back to his house again, thinking about whether to leave Ezhou and go to Jiangzhou to take refuge.
Zhou Bo felt that he was in a bumpy cart, at first he thought it should be a horse-drawn cart, but then the current progress was not very fast, so it should be an ox cart. The smell was terrible, and there were rotting and smelly hay all around, like fertilizer applied to the fields, disgusting and uncomfortable.
Several times, I almost passed out from the smoke. But fortunately, he had a strong belief in his heart, that is, he didn't know what had happened just now, and he finally left the prison car, and stayed in such a car, although it was worse than the prison car, at least he survived.
He wasn't sure who had saved him. Because since the commotion of the mob just now, he was hit in the eye by an egg, and the slimy egg white blinded his eyes, and he didn't see what was going on at all, only that he was set up by a group of people. After running in a hurry for a long time, before he could ask, he was thrown on this stinky car, and his body was covered with thick grass.
I don't know how long it was bumpy. Although Zhou Bo didn't know where he was now, he could conclude that he was definitely not in Ezhou City. Because there is no way to have such a long road in the city, it is all bumpy, and it seems that this place is already in the mountains.
Two quarters of an hour passed. Zhou Bo almost fell asleep, and the car finally stopped. Soon, the straw that was pressing on his body was lifted, and four hands grabbed his shoulders and pants, dragging the whole person off the car at once. He was stuffy in the stinky straw for a long time, and it was a dry winter, his throat and eyes hurt with thirst, and the sudden cold wind poured into his clothes, which made him feel excited.
There were dozens of people standing in front of him, and he took a closer look. But now these people are all ragged, and they don't look like serious people. He glanced down at himself again, he was still wearing a prison uniform, but he was covered in eggs, vegetable leaves, and the stinking straw dregs just now, and he was not much different from the people in front of him.
He was just about to open his mouth to ask, when suddenly a person squeezed out from behind the crowd on the other side, and while pushing and shoving the others, he shouted: "Fuck up, open up, what do you see." Step aside. ”
As he spoke, he had already come to Zhou Bo, still holding a water bag in his hand, and handed the water bag to Zhou Bo with both hands. And said, "Lord Zhou, you drink saliva first, this water is clean, I just took it from the stream below the mountain." ”
Zhou Bo looked at this person, and because he was uncomfortable with thirst, he hurriedly took the water bag. I opened the stopper, and I poured myself two sips. The cold water sneaked into his throat, moistening his hot and painful throat a lot, and suddenly the whole person relaxed. Even when he was drinking water, he was also looking at the person in front of him, although the other party was also untidy, but it was still intact, and there were not so many broken holes.
What's more, he vaguely felt that this person was very familiar, but because the other party's face was dark and unkempt, he couldn't see it clearly for a while.
He drank the water, did not hurry to speak, first looked up at the sky, it was afternoon, surrounded by a desolate mountainous area, there was no human population, and he couldn't guess how far out of Ezhou City.
He let out a long sigh, looking a little melancholy, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you, why do you want to save me? What is this place?"
The person in front of Zhou Bo was stunned at first, then smiled, leaned closer to Zhou Bo and asked, "Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, take a closer look at me, don't you remember the little one?"
When Zhou Bo heard this, he immediately looked at the other party carefully, although the other party did have an impression, but he still couldn't remember it. He shook his head slowly, his face was a little difficult, and said: "This strong man, I can't help it, my mind is a little confused, I may not remember this strong man." ”
The man smiled and didn't care about anything, just said: "Lord Zhou called the little one a strong man, which flattered the little one." Mr. Zhou, just a few days ago, you were eating sesame paste with a little girl doll in an alley on Hanchang Street, but a person suddenly rushed up and snatched the girl's purse, and then Lord Zhou, you desperately chased this person. ”
When he said this, he deliberately glanced at Zhou Bo, expecting the other party to remember something.
Zhou Bo did think of something, and then he looked at the other party carefully, suddenly realized, and sighed in surprise: "It turned out to be you? Aren't you the guy who robbed the purse? Why, just change the evil and return to the right, why do you come to save me today?"
When the man saw that Zhou Bo remembered himself, he immediately became excited, patted his thigh, and said, "Lord Zhou, you are right, it is the small one." ”
Zhou Bo hurriedly asked again: "You haven't answered my question yet, why did you save me?"
The man sighed, his face was a little stricter, and said: "Lord Zhou, last time I was a little desperate, and I offended Li Hui and Qin Jiedu again, and it was originally a dead end. But Lord Zhou, instead of arresting the little one, you also let the little one take away the silver, how dare the little one forget this kindness and favor?"
Zhou Bo really didn't expect that he was just a heart of pity at the beginning, but today it has become an opportunity for his life to turn around. He secretly sighed in his heart. There will still be a lot of good things in the future, and good people must be rewarded at critical times. However, he glanced at the other party, still a little puzzled, and asked, "But." Even if it's a few taels of silver, you won't risk your life to save me again." You must know that I am the sworn enemy of those lords and gentlemen in Ezhou City, and if you help me, you will offend them proudly. There will be no good fruit to eat in the future. ”
The man's face showed no regret or fear at all, and he said sternly: "Lord Zhou, since we have done this, we have naturally made up our minds. Actually, Lord Zhou, do you know how many people you saved at once when you asked me to take away the silver that day? All the people who came to rescue you today were more or less grateful to you. Over the years, we have never gotten anything from the public, but those public officials have come to oppress us when they have nothing to do, precisely because of such a good person as Lord Zhou. Even though those few taels of silver are not much, they also let us see that you are different. ”
When Zhou Bo heard this, he felt a little ashamed and didn't dare to take it, he didn't think about it so much.
The man then said: "Lord Zhou, as early as a few months ago, we heard about your deeds, although you brought down Xu Wenbo and we have little to do with it, but at least it can show that you are not a bad person. Later, we often went to the gate of Xidaying to ask for some old rice, and we also heard that you were honest and upright in governing Xidaying. You are a good person, and we naturally cannot watch you suffer. ”
Zhou Bo listened to the other party's words. Originally, I was still very moved, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. The other party is some poor people, how he is fair and honest in the west camp. In the final analysis, they have nothing to do with them, and they have not even rewarded them with a few more old rice, so why should they be grateful to themselves? Could it be that if they are good officials, they should be saved, and so many officials inside and outside Ezhou City are not all bad people, so they will all support them.
So. He felt that it was not so simple for these people to save themselves.
He took a slow breath, and although he remained vigilant in his heart, his face did not show any flaws. He first nodded gratefully, and then said: "Now that you have saved me, it's just that I have been ruined in Ezhou City, and I can't repay your kindness." Oops............!!"
The other party seemed to want to say something, but suddenly realized that it might not be the right time, so he stopped talking.
Zhou Bo was silent for a while, and then asked the man, "Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?"
The man smiled and said, "Little Li Xuzhong." ”
Zhou Bo looked at the beggar-looking people around him again, then sighed and said, "Then right now, what are your plans? This place is naturally not a place to stay for a long time, but we have left Ezhou City, and we don't know where to go, it's really ............ It's hard. ”
Hearing this, Li Xuzhong was silent for a while, and then cautiously said to Zhou Bo: "Lord Zhou, in fact, it is not only these dozens of brothers you see who have followed us out of Ezhou City. At the foot of the mountain, there are more than three or five hundred people waiting. To put it bluntly, we are all refugees, and when Zhao Guan's family went south, we moved here with our families, but in recent years, natural disasters**, and the father-in-law in the city did not care about our life or death, and everyone's life was extremely difficult, so it fell to such a point. ”
When Zhou Bo heard this, he secretly gasped, this Li Xuzhong is really capable, he is so close to these three or five hundred beggars, and he can even call for this kind of thing of blocking the road and attacking the officers and soldiers to rob the prisoners. He couldn't help but guess whether Li Xuzhong would be the legendary leader of the beggar gang?
He asked in surprise: "These people, how did you get moving? Don't they know that robbing prisoners is a capital crime? It doesn't matter if Brother Li is a person who understands righteousness in this kind of risky thing, but I don't have the slightest kindness with others." ”
Li Xuzhong smiled, then sighed, his expression was a little more sad, and said, "Lord Zhou, in fact, there is another hidden meaning in this matter. Because, these people and I were originally fellow villagers, and we moved south with the elders of the villagers. But as you can see, we don't even have a house, let alone food and clothing. Many brothers' children, daughters-in-law, and elderly people starved to death. In fact, to put it bluntly, we are also a group of desperate people. ”
Zhou Bo believed Li Xuzhong's words very much, because he had seen and heard a lot in Ezhou City in the past few months, and many things were something he didn't want to imagine. He shook his head slowly and asked, "At this moment, what are your plans?" ”
Li Xuzhong was silent for a moment, then approached Zhou Bo, and said with an extremely serious face: "Lord Zhou, in fact, we are all from Hebei, and now we have come to Jiangnan but have fallen to such a point, whether it is the mediocrity and incompetence of the Zhao official family, or the oppression of the golden dog and Qi dog, these are not things that we, the grass people, can take into account." To put it bluntly, we just want to have something to eat. ”
Hearing what Li Xuzhong said, Zhou Bo secretly took a breath of cold air and gradually guessed what Li Xuzhong meant. He lowered his voice and asked seriously, "You guys, aren't you............ Want to fall into the grass?"
When Li Xuzhong saw Zhou Bo asking this, he didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "In our city, we are all some little thieves, but even so, at most, it is just to support our families. But we let go of our self-esteem, let go of all our face, and do those things that are unacceptable, and in the end, our relatives, children, and wives are still starving to death, and we are dying of illness. What are we going to do?"
Zhou Bo took a deep breath, and then he understood Li Xuzhong's true intention to save himself, it turned out that Li Xuzhong hoped that someone could lead them to fight for a way out. He didn't have any consideration for the time being, because now that he was in such a situation, there was no other way out, and it was really impossible to expose it. It's just that he doesn't understand, why did Li Xuzhong choose himself to lead these refugees?
He asked tentatively: "You have this kind of thing, since you already have the appeal, you can do it yourself." Why take such a risk to rescue me?"
Li Xuzhong smiled indifferently, his smile was a little miserable, and said: "Lord Zhou, you don't know us Hebei people, I have read books before, and we northerners pay the most attention to a righteous word." A few days ago, Lord Zhou's kindness, we should repay it, this is one of them. Of course, if you ask if there is any selfishness, the small ones don't dare to hide it here, and they do have some selfishness. ”
Zhou Bo was a little curious and asked, "Oh? You confess, then let me ask you, what selfishness do you have?"
Li Xu said solemnly: "There are two small selfishness, first, in order to let those hundreds of brothers break the boat, they decided to start their own way of survival, so they must decide their back road. Therefore, letting them risk their lives to rescue Lord Zhou can not only show everyone's determination, but also test their loyalty. Second, Lord Zhou, you are the capital of the West Camp, and you know the West Camp well, so you can lead us to easily sneak into the West Camp and grab food and grass to fill your stomach.
