When Xiao Taiji saw this note, he grabbed the guy who sent the letter in like crazy, as if he had seen a ghost, and shouted: "Who sent it?!" ”

The guy turned pale with fright, stammered and couldn't speak clearly, so he could only point to the door outside with one hand and tremble for a long time before saying, "...... A beggar. ”

Xiao Taiji lifted him aside and rushed to the gate, but where could he still see the beggar delivering the letter?

Since then, Xiao Taiji has rarely left the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion to go to the shop.

Du Hengshuang knew that Xiao Taihe was lazy again, and he didn't want to go out to the director, so he didn't care, but just told the concierge to be more careful, and asked Xiao Yi, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, to help take care of Xiao Taiji's shop.

Every night, after putting the two children to sleep, she leaned against the wall of the bed and counted Xiao Shiji's itinerary, hoping that he would complete Zhao'an and return home as soon as possible.

On the day of the fight, Xiao Shiji took 500 soldiers out of Chang'an City, and stayed overnight all the way to Luoyang.

The cottage is in a big mountain between Chang'an and Luoyang.

On this day, the group finally arrived near the mountain.

It was already afternoon, and the road into the mountain was ahead.

The road was built between two mountains. On weekdays, passing merchants are accompanied by them, and they dare to walk in a hurry in broad daylight.

As soon as it gets dark, everyone would rather pitch their tents outside than cross the mountain road.

Of course, Xiao Shi and they did not have this concern.

Not to mention that they had already contacted the thieves in the cottage, this trip over. It is to convey the will of His Majesty, turn them from darkness to light, and add a boost to His Majesty.

Even if they don't come to recruit An, with the skills of Xiao Shi and his five hundred soldiers, they won't suffer at the hands of the bandits.

Therefore, they did not stop, and slowly walked into the mountain road between the two mountains in the afternoon sun.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the mountain pass, I actually saw a group of people blocking the road in front of me.

"Go see what's going on." Xiao Shiji reined in his horse and let his own soldiers come forward to check.

The men over there saw a group of sergeants approaching on horseback and moved to the side of the road. Only a big car was parked there in the middle of the road. A few people couldn't pull it. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.

The soldier stepped forward and asked, "Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Stuck in traffic so that others can't go? ”

A middle-aged man nodded and squeezed out of the group, and saluted the pro-soldier: "Master Jun, we are the artists of the Chunxi class." I just sang a Buddhist opera in Chang'an Xingshan Temple. Now I want to go to Luoyang. We rushed to Luoyang as soon as possible. I deliberately took a few shortcuts to get here. It's not that we don't want to go, it's that the car is pulling out cracks. A few of the cattle over there were stubborn and refused to go. ”

The soldier looked at them, and saw that they were indeed carts drawn by oxen.

At that time, the horses of Daqi were precious, and they were not rich or noble, and they could not afford horse-drawn carts, but they all used ox carts.

"You wait, I'll go back and report to my family before making a decision." The pro-soldier returned to his horse and came to Xiao Shiji, and said, "Master Hou, I said earlier that I was singing opera in the Chunxi class, and I was going to Luoyang to sing Buddhist opera." Their car was cracked and they couldn't go. And the oxen pulling the cart seemed to be frightened and refused to move. ”

Xiao Shiji's brows furrowed almost invisibly, and said, "In this case, you go and help them pick up the cart, who will tame the cattle of those cows?" ”

One of his own soldiers drove forward, came to him, and said, "Master Hou, we can give it a try." ”

"Go ahead." Xiao Shiji sat on his horse and waited for a while.

His subordinates' skills in repairing cars and taming cattle were all practiced on the battlefield, and soon the opponent's carts were picked up, and the cattle were also set up and could move forward.

The other party was overjoyed, hurriedly came over to thank him, and asked, "May I ask which military master's disciple is it?" told us that it would be better to go back and make three incense sticks in the morning and evening to pray for the military master. ”

Xiao Shiji's personal soldiers said proudly: "Our Hou Ye is the Marquis of the Pillar Kingdom under His Majesty!" ”

"It's actually the Marquis of Zhuguo!" There was a burst of excitement in the Chunxi class.

A young man in Tsing Yi pushed aside everyone, came to the sergeant here, and said to Xiao Shihe, who was sitting high on the horse: "It turns out that it is Master Hou again." - Counting this time, the villain has already owed Hou Ye two favors. ”

Xiao Shiji looked at it and felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he only bowed his head slightly, glanced at him casually, and whipped his horse, and said, "Go!" ”

Soon the dust on the road was raised, and the group rushed towards the mountains like dragons and tigers.

The young man in Tsing Yi stood by the road with some disappointment, silently looking at the direction in which the group had disappeared, and bit his lower lip unwillingly.

In the past, when he was stared at by everyone, he felt annoyed.

Now that he is being ignored like this, he feels deeply lost.

A woman who looked like a little maid moved over and whispered, "Little ...... Young master, the class leader said that he was on his way. ”

The young man glared at her and said angrily, "Zhilu Dao!" No one speaks when you're dumb! As he spoke, he boarded the ox cart and drove all the way to Luoyang.

……

Xiao Shiji came to the cottage and quickly connected with the big boss, the two of them had already had a heart, and now they have just crossed the road.

The next day, the big boss announced the news of the emperor's recruitment to the people of the whole cottage, and it was thunderous with joy and elation, and no one was disobedient.

Siu Shiji was also very happy.

This errand turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.

"Big boss, without further ado, let's go down the mountain immediately and go to Chang'an to accept the reward from His Majesty, how about it?" Xiao Shiji was very anxious. He was homesick and couldn't sleep at night.

It's not that he hasn't left home before, but since that time he almost parted with Du Hengshuang, he couldn't stand being too far away from home.

As a leading general, he knew that this kind of emotion was very unacceptable, but he just couldn't control his thoughts about Du Hengshuang. - It was always when he left her that he could experience this inseparable affection.

Of course, the big boss is also eager to bleach it immediately and no longer do this shady business.

Not to mention his wife's knowledge of painting. I'm about to give birth.

He hoped to receive a reward from His Majesty before the child was born, so that he could say to the child with a clear conscience, "Your father is not a thief, but an official of the imperial court......"

Zhihua saw the thoughts of the big boss, thought about it, and arrived: "The master, it is better for you and Hou Ye to go down the mountain first, and I will follow the brothers in the village to arrive." ”

"Can you do it?" The big boss looked at Zhihua's bulging belly, and he was very uneasy.

"Why not? Brother in the cottage, are you still not at ease? Zhihua said angrily. One more sentence was added. "I don't feel at ease and I've been removed by you a long time ago."

The big boss laughed, and finally made up his mind, "It's okay." I'll go into the city with Hou Ye first, and you take your brother and walk slowly. Don't be in a hurry. - I'll leave all the most confidants for you. He whispered in Zhihua's ear: "If there is an accident on my side." You might as well run away with your brothers......"

Zhihua covered his mouth. He whispered, "Don't say such unlucky things." - Besides, I can trust Miss and Master Hou. If they want to kill you. I could have brought my troops over and attacked a long time ago. There is no need for such painstaking recruitment. ”

The big boss nodded, "Then it's decided." I'll follow Hou Ye Ming'er and leave, you pack up, and then take your brothers on the road. - Wen Po, I've also found it for you, and I'll take her with me when the time comes. He touched Zhihua's belly again, and said reluctantly: "Boy, you want to tease me, and come out again when you get to Chang'an, do you hear it!" ”

Zhihua listened to the amusement, packed his things for him at night, and put a big burden on him. The next day, I watched Xiao Shiji go down the mountain with the big boss.

Xiao Shihe, for the sake of insurance, also left a hundred sergeants, together with the bandits, to escort Zhihua down the mountain.

Zhihua packed up for three days, and then loaded fifteen carts, and took the old and young in the cottage down the mountain with those sergeants.

At that time, it had been six years since the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the bandits in this vicinity had been almost suppressed by the government. They are the last of the remaining bandits.

They are good, and the area from Chang'an to Luoyang is much safer.

It's safe to travel day and night.

Because the month of Zhihua was almost about to give birth, they walked very slowly, lest the big car bump and give birth to the baby son of the big boss on the road.

It took them two days to get out of the trail between the two mountains.

When I came out, it was almost dusk, and the twilight was heavy everywhere, and the cooking smoke was everywhere, and it was the time to bury the pot and make rice.

Zhihua was telling everyone to stop, rest for the night, and leave again tomorrow morning, when he heard the voice of "help" from the shadow in front of him.

These bandits were accustomed to trading, and when they heard the sound, they pricked up their ears and looked forward with a pergola in front of them.

The voice was getting closer and clearer, and it sounded like a woman's voice, "Help! Help me! - There are bandits! ”

Bandits?

The group of people brought by Zhihua looked at each other. - Isn't it? Aren't they all here anymore? Where are the bandits?!

One of the big bosses, Lao Thirteen, squeezed under Zhihua's car and shouted, "Madam, this is impossible! ——This area is 500 miles away, only our cottage, where are there other bandits? Someone must have impersonated him! "It's a look of righteous indignation.

Someone else pretending to be a bandit?!

Zhihua was embarrassed, and slowly ordered: "Let's take a look at what is going on." After a pause, he added, "Count our people and see if anyone has escaped......"

She was also worried that someone didn't want to be recruited, so she ran away secretly.

Lao Thirteen used to ask people to count the number of people, and soon reported the number, basically there were a lot of them.

When Zhihua heard this, he ordered, "Then go and have a look." ”

The old thirteen lifted his spirits, pulled out the big knife and held it in his hand, and rushed forward with a few brothers, when he saw a panting woman rushing out of the corner, leading two children from the left and the right, running towards them, shouting as he ran: "Help, strong man!" There are bandits who want to kill our mother and son! ”
