After the beginning of spring, I went north with Jiancheng to Hedong.

I deliberately set off a day ahead of schedule to have a good time on the road.

Actually, I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything. It's just that I have been provoked, and I don't know how to restrain the Taihu Lake Water Gang, which affects people's business, picked the famous Lvlin Eighteen Villages that bully men and women in Chuzhou, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and by the way, he improved his good name, and when he passed by Haizhou, he dragged Zhu Bancheng, the richest man in the local area, out of the brothel and beat him all over the street. Do you know how many people you have killed by opening a string of black shops on the path that others must pass? Do you know how sorry you are for the people when you colluded with the government to swallow the construction money? Do you know that you and your subordinates robbed girls on the street and harmed the family, either moved or did not dare to go out, which affected the local yin and yang harmony and economic development? The most important thing is that you actually relied on the jade mine in Haizhou to go south to rob me of Duan Jinlan's business, do you think I can bear it.

And the two local ** gangs who always rely on Zhu Bancheng's martial arts on weekdays came out to help when they heard the news, and when they saw that it was my people, they immediately patted their butts and returned the same way without saying a word.

That's what you want.

What makes me happiest is that this journey has been accompanied by the completion of the road. Although I forced him to wear a human skin mask and made him unhappy, we all know that Li Valve prematurely mixed into the ** Lila gang and formed a faction, which is not good for me and him.

On this day, I happily arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, and I stayed in the inn and went to his house east of the river. As soon as I packed my bags and read the recent reports, I was ready to go to the procurement of materials, and I appeared again: "I have accompanied you so many detours along the way, and now accompany me to a place." "And also asked me to change into women's clothes.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated grass hut on the outskirts of the city. I quietly lifted the curtain and saw Jiancheng politely saluting a middle-aged man in linen and coarse cloth who was chopping wood.

The man seemed to be accustomed to it, put down the firewood knife without humility or arrogance, and welcomed Jiancheng in.

I feel a little resentful in my heart, the eldest son of Tang Gong came to you like this, which green onion are you when you are you?

However, the man was powerful and strong, and his eyes were clear, but he had the appearance of a bit of capital.

I asked Xue Wanche on the side of the carriage: "Brother Xue, what does this mean?" ”

At that time, after the affairs of Jiangdu came to light, because of my friendship with Jiancheng, and Xue Wanche gradually became acquainted, he replied with a smile: "The girl doesn't know, this man's name is Xie Shufang, he was originally a small city gate guard, but he is upright and has a lot of martial arts. He was very content and happy, and wanted to live in peace, but because he was too upright, he was always excluded by his colleagues, and his wife also died of illness and could not be treated. The eldest prince valued him very much before, but then he was delayed because he had been busy, and then remembered that he found that he had resigned, and it took a lot of effort to find him, so he asked him to go out of the mountain three times, and people were still disheartened and never accepted this feeling. ”

I shook my head secretly, Hou Junji is right, in today's troubled times, there is no peace and quiet, as long as you are not strong enough, you will only be trampled on by others. This Uncle Xie still doesn't understand how he hasn't experienced his wife's death.

"Hiss~~ Oops." There was a sound of pain in the courtyard, it turned out to be a white-haired old woman who had bent over to pick vegetables for too long, and she couldn't stand up straight because of a moment of back disease.

I even secretly scolded Uncle Xie for selfishly escaping, and it was really unfilial to let my mother live such a poor and hard life.

So he got out of the carriage and walked over: "Old lady, I'll help you." As she spoke, she sat on the bench next to her and rubbed her waist, and I rubbed the acupoints on her waist with real power in my hands to help her invigorate her blood, and it would be fine after a while.

I washed my hands, rolled up my wide sleeves and bent down to pick vegetables for her: "Old lady, you rest for a while, I'll help you." "I've been making snacks for Jiancheng for a long time, and I'm familiar with these housework.

"Thank you so much, girl." The old man smiled kindly, and said for a long time, "The girl is a person from the rivers and lakes?" ”

"How does the old lady know?" I was a little surprised by her acuity.

"Although the girl looks like a young lady of a family and dresses very luxuriously, what young lady of a family does not have nails and does housework so well? Girl, you don't dislike us for being dirty here, you just came, sat down, and helped the old woman pick vegetables, besides, the few hands that the girl just pressed for me are martial arts. The old man's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, "If you want the old woman, I will say, the eldest prince is very good, but it is also his blessing that he can meet you, the girl." ”

I felt my face flush, and hurriedly said: "The old lady is really powerful, I am indeed the eldest prince's friend in the rivers and lakes." Then he changed the topic again, "By the way, does the old lady know why Brother Xie is unwilling to go out of the mountain?" ”

Speaking of this, the old man frowned and sighed: "Hey, I have also told him many times, don't waste your time anymore, young people should go out and wander, now it is rare for the eldest prince to value it, let alone stay at home anymore." I didn't expect this stinky boy to say that he wanted to accompany me and his daughter, hey, he really has no ambition and no future. He also told me that the family wife is very peaceful, and the land is very good, hey, I naturally think it's good, but the mother hopes that he won't waste his life. I sighed secretly and couldn't help but comfort the old man.

About half an hour later, Uncle Xie sent it out, and I quickly rolled up my sleeves back.

Jiancheng was a little surprised when he saw me helping the old lady pick vegetables, but he still smiled faintly. I said goodbye to the old man, didn't look at Uncle Xie, and left with Jiancheng.

I said to him, "What? Failed again? ”

"Yes. That guy is really a talent, but unfortunately it doesn't make sense. Jiancheng looked at me with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I thought I would definitely be able to do it this time with you by my side, but I don't want to be too useless." ”

"Built, why are you so naïve." I laughed a little, "Besides, how can you be useless, it's because he's too stubborn." Okay, okay, clean up your mood and accompany me to Mount Tai tomorrow. As for that Uncle Xie, hmph, leave it to me. ”

On the second day, I swaggered and led the people of the Qingming Sect to Mount Tai together. Jiancheng wore a mask, and only said that my friend stayed in the team to accompany me, of course, I refused to wronged him to pretend to be my subordinates. I really didn't want him to accompany me to **Dabi, but I really didn't. Jiancheng came to Hedong for official business, how can I be embarrassed to be so willful. But I didn't expect that after he casually perfunctory my various advices, I went downstairs this morning and saw Jiancheng eating breakfast elegantly.

I looked back at that strange ordinary face, and my heart was indescribably sweet.
