In the second half of the night, Li Guang followed his adopted son and other young people to set out together, and under the thick night, the mountains and fields were even darker and quieter, although everyone had crossed the mountains and mountains to get used to the ordinary, but it was still very difficult to walk.

If you go forward for more than an hour, you will only climb over a peak. Li Guang didn't really believe in the so-called Old Clothes Society, and he was even more suspicious at this time, but he saw that his children were still stubborn, so he continued to follow.

The sound of partridges sounded in the mountains and forests at night, Li Ge listened carefully, pointed to the left front, and said, "That's it." ”

"It's Shangyi, why are you so sneaky?"

Li Guang frowned again and raised his doubts.

After hearing this, Li Ge smiled and said: "Aya misunderstood, it was because I was worried about exposing our place of residence and didn't want my family to be involved, so I had such an agreement." ”

The group walked some distance again, turning a boulder wrapped in vines, the terrain in front of them was slightly open, and several figures could already be seen standing under a large tree in the night.

Li Guang followed his children forward, his hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife, and a voice had already sounded on the other side: "Li Dalang? ”

"It's me!"

Li Ge turned around and patted his adoptive father's arm to appease him, and then walked forward.

The fire lit up, and four or five people stood under the big tree on the opposite side, and one of them pointed to Li Ge who was walking forward and said with a smile: "It is really difficult to recruit Da Lang into the volunteer army, and it has been more than half a month of back and forth, and the transportation of these goods and goods alone has cost two pack horses." ”

"Thank you for the love of the righteous envoy, there is no future trouble for raising relatives, after enlisting in the army, Ge must be brave enough to kill thieves and pursue injustice!"

Li Ge stepped forward and hugged his arms, and his tone was also respectful.

However, at this time, Li Guang flashed out from behind, drew a knife in his hand and said coldly: "Slow down!" It is not easy for my son to grow up, he lives in seclusion in the mountains just to survive, and he doesn't want to chase any righteousness or righteousness, let alone work hard for anything for others! ”

"Ayah, you ......"

Li Ge saw that his adoptive father's reaction was not as good as before, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Righteous envoy, please don't misunderstand, my family is ...... Aye."

"Captain Li Guang Li of Jingzhao Baiqu Mansion?"

Before Li Ge finished speaking, the tone of the person opposite was even more surprised and excited, he shook the torch forward, and said in his mouth: "Yifeng marched on the Tao River in three years, under the command of Guoyi Liu Fujun of Jiufu and Ma Xing of Weinan Mansion, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"Ma, Ma Xing? Are you, are you a horse brigade commander? You don't, you ......"

Hearing the other party's words, Li Guang also suddenly lost his temper, rushed forward a few steps, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and looked at the other party's face by the firelight, his face had become excited. The other party simply handed the torch to his companion, stepped forward and grabbed Li Guang's arm, and shook it vigorously: "Sure enough, sure enough, it's Li Ghost Noodles!" ”

"Piff! Dare to call me ugly! ”

Hearing this old notoriety, Li Guang confirmed the identity of the other party, and subconsciously raised his hand to twist the other party's arm, but found that the other party's palm only had three fingers, and the tail finger and middle finger were missing, and he was stunned again: "How, how ...... you"

"The Huangchuan army was defeated, and they ran separately, but unfortunately they were held by thieves and beheaded as slaves...... Anyway, he saved his life and escaped while he was out grabbing a horse. It's a pity that the crippled body is no longer able to kill the enemy with weapons, and I can't bring back the two thieves' heads to sacrifice my severed fingers! ”

Speaking of the old things, this middle-aged man named Ma Xing also sighed, and then said with surprise: "Li Dalang is actually the son of a ghost face? No wonder, no wonder! Li Ghost Mian, you are really lucky, you have a lot of hope to raise such a brave son, and you will sacrifice yourself for revenge in the coming year, and you will kill the thief! It's a pity that my wife and children disappeared after I returned home......"

When Li Guang heard this, the mood of the reunion of his old friend quickly cooled down, he took a step back with some embarrassment and indifference, opened his mouth and sighed: "Ma San, don't you have cold blood yet?" But I don't want my son to shed innocent blood......"

"Aya, I'm ......"

"Shut up!"

Li Guang paused to stop his son's words, and when he turned to look at his old friend, his expression became even more indifferent: "It is a great joy for old people to meet." But there is no wine and hospitality in the mountains, and you are tired of your feet, but if you still miss the old love, please don't seduce my son again. Our father and son died in the mountains and fields, and we don't want to waste any more waste! ”

"I understand, I understand! Ghost face, you are one of the brave warriors in our Jingzhao, and after returning to my hometown, I also heard about your deeds, not that I want to die of sadness, how can we, the old pawns of the house, pull out a knife and chop the people who sacrificed their lives to protect in previous years? When I was in the army, my family business was intact, and when I returned, my wife and children were gone, so I didn't have a little resentment in my heart? ”

When Ma Xing said this, tears also appeared in his eyes: "The nobles eat sorghum and eat meat, how can they bend down and look down at our miserable military slaves?" I felt my own sorrow, so I donated my life to the Death Clothing Society, not only to send my life, but also to rely on my own little strength to help those colleagues who died. Perhaps my wife and children, who have disappeared, are also in some country I don't know, and they are being rescued by these old robes......"

"What kind of ...... is that old clothes society?"

Li Guang pulled Ma Xing aside and said in a condensed voice: "How many children know about the sinister hearts of the people and the suffering of the world? Hearing a few strong words, I was bewitched by people to donate my life, I have seen through the coldness of the world, if you still remember the old feelings, please come from the truth! ”

Ma Xing blinked, Xiao Zuo groaned, and then said, "Do you know what year it is with the ghost face?" ”

Li Guang hid in the mountains for a long time, and only shook his head after hearing this.

"Now it's the first year of Ruyi, ha, just a month ago, or three years of Zhou Zhengtian's grant, the Holy Spirit Emperor and the heroine enjoy the country, and the Tang family of the Wu Dynasty ......"

"How is this possible? No matter how much the Empress Wu and His Majesty the Emperor indulge and pamper, how can the people of the world respond! ”

Li Guang's eyes widened when he heard this, if it weren't for Ma Xing, an old man, I am afraid that he would have scolded the other party for absurd fraud.

"Believe it or not, the way of the world is already like this. The kings of the Tang family can't be at ease yet, how much happiness can we enjoy in the grass and wilderness? ”

Ma Xing sighed, and continued: "The Ancient Clothing Society is a branch in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, taking hemp to help people, although it is only a collar of linen shirts and half an urn of thin soup, but people are extremely poor, and they can also rely on this to survive. I'm not boasting about it, but since last fall, there have been hundreds of people in the club who have survived by me. I'm just an ordinary envoy of the Wannian Society, like me, there are hundreds of Jingzhao alone, so it can be inferred that the clothing society is good at saving the dead, and tens of thousands of people have benefited from it in Qinchuan alone. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the goods piled up under the tree and said: "The people are cold and hard, and the government, Haoyou, and bee thieves are oppressed. In order to attract your family, I sent 50 stones of miscellaneous grain, 30 horses of silk cloth and more than 20,000 other miscellaneous money, just to ask for a heroic visit. Normally, these goods can donate as many as 100 people......"

When Li Guang heard this, he was just silent and did not answer.

"Ordinary parents still don't want their children to engage in killing karma. What's more, we, the remnants of the killing field, know more about the value of vitality. Ghost face, you are cold to the world, and you don't want to be righteous anymore, but have you ever thought that your children are not experienced in people, and they are willing to die in the mountains and wilderness like this? Whether it's good or bad, I also want to make a break on my own and live up to the backbone of a brave body! ”

Ma Xingqing knew that he couldn't persuade Li Guang in a short time, and after a little silence, he proposed: "Empty words are always false, if you can trust me, you might as well travel with me to the mountains to watch, what are the righteous disciples of our old clothing society doing, and then decide whether to let the children donate themselves." ”

When Li Guang heard this, Xiao Zuo groaned, then nodded slowly, summoned Li Ge and others, who were a little reluctant, and ordered them to send those materials to the valley where they lived, and strictly ordered them not to go out, and then went to the mountains with Ma Xing and others.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that the group reached the mountains near the outer foothills of the Qinling Mountains. The horizon gradually widened, and a large area of plains washed by the river appeared.

"This is an industry of our old clothing society, which used to be a luxury house in Xugu County, and was only bought by the city last year."

The mountain path gradually flattened, and Ma Xing pointed to a farm with vast fields and many houses under the mountain col as he walked, and said with a smile: "Now there are thousands of people here, all of whom are landless families from the left near the prefecture, who are here to work and exchange their strength for food." Although it is not called rich, there is always a life to keep. ”

Li Guang looked up and saw that oxen and horses were working back and forth in the fields, the peasants were short and brown and thinly cultivated, the mulberry plants were planted on the slopes, and there were many pools of hemp at the foot of the mountains. There was a lot of peace along the way, but he was even more silent.

The peasants also found Ma Xing and his party, and each raised their hands to greet him, Ma Xing responded with a smile and said with a smile: "Our old clothes society is not alone, and we have to resist the government." Rent is still paid, just gather to maintain health, instead of going into exile in the suburbs, there is no rent for fertile fields, and the government is also happy to see the dead households live in peace, and the household tax is sufficient. These are just the raw mouths of the Pang Society, and many others are just donating hemp for clothes, do you see those pools of hemp? Zhuangzhong hemp workshop, employing hundreds of labor, paper, cloth, etc., a lot of daily output, can not only donate to help the public, but also pawn and sell for money, increase and expand good karma. ”

While walking, Li Guang saw a child who was working in the field with his parents holding a clay pot of rice and was eating it with his hands, and suddenly couldn't help but cover his face and cry sadly: "Poor my son, why didn't you foster a good place back then......

Ma Xing only heard the story of Li Guang's killing of officials, but he didn't know the tragedy of his young son starving to death at home, and when he heard Li Guang crying in grief about the past, he burst into tears for a while, and sighed while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes: "If there was old clothes and righteousness, how many tragedies can be avoided in the world!" ”

After his emotions calmed down, Li Guangcai put away his sadness and said in a condensed voice: "If it is just a farmer who has good karma and has his own farming and skillful industry, how can he use it to recruit courage and righteousness?" ”

Ma Xingben did not hide his meaning, and after hearing this, he explained: "How can these cultivation operations alone help a large number of people. Ghost face you are the old man, I can trust you, only in the mountains and wilderness of the Qinling Mountains, there are thousands of people in our old clothing society, in addition to hunting, but also to expel bee thieves, take care of the merchants, and extract business capital from the north and south, this is the original business of the Guanzhong Ancient Clothing Society based on the public. These industries outside the mountains are, firstly, to cover people's eyes and ears and pay rent, and secondly, to shelter women and children and feed the poor. ”

As he was talking, a group of knights came up the country road in front of him, and the heroic warriors were escorted before and after, among which there was a pair of young knights, although the clothes were not eye-catching, but the momentum was quite outstanding.

When the first knight saw Ma Xing, his eyes suddenly lit up, Ti Stiff stopped his crotch and galloped his horse, turned to the young man and said with a smile: "Qi Langjun, that one is Ma Xing who was trapped in Tibet and fled back from taking the horse. He is also the owner of the village and is in charge of the fields here. ”

As he spoke, the knight beckoned to Ma Xing and said, "The owner of the horse village is coming soon, I won't meet you when I enter the village, but I don't want to happen on the way." ”
