Xiahou Zhuo never asked Li Diudiu how many people he had killed, nor did he ask Li Diudiu how he felt about killing people.

Xiahou Zhuo knew that for Li Diudiu, asking such a question once was equivalent to hurting once, even if he seemed to be as calm as ever.

But he was only twelve years old, a few days away.

Xiahou Zhuo didn't like such a seemingly concerned issue at all, he had seen too many...... For example, last year, a heavy snowfall in Jizhou City collapsed many old houses, and one family was stoned to death in the house except for children.

The parents of Jizhou City, who were famous and famous, ran over to offer condolences without knowing what to think, probably because they wanted to show their pro-people and love the people in front of the people.

He squatted down in front of the child like a gentle elder and asked, "Are you sad that your parents are dead?" ”

After Xiahou Zhuo heard about this, he thought that if he was that child, he would pick up the brick and snort at Lian Gongming's face, no...... Breathe out as you say.

Li Didiu pretended to be nothing, and he just pretended, and this bloody incident would not have been able to calm down a person of his age for a long time.

Not to mention his age, those soldiers of the Great Chu Mansion who were in the prime of life who went to the battlefield to kill people for the first time with a knife were not trembling in fear.

So although he was in a hurry along the way, Xiahou Zhuo always found some light topics to chat with Li Diudiu, and Li Diudiu would laugh back and forth.

But Xiahou Zhuo could see that he wanted to comfort Li Diudiu, Li Diudiu was cooperating with him, wouldn't this cooperation be comforting him in turn?

The better Li Diudiu cooperated, the more sad Xiahou Zhuo's heart became.

Li Qi, it's really early to be sensible.

He was very sensible at the age of four or five.

I don't know why, Li Diudiu suddenly asked Xiahou Zhuo a question, and Xiahou Zhuo was a little confused.

"I didn't kill Wang Heimin, will there be any rules for the Tsing Yi array? I mean, will I be held accountable? ”

Xiahou pondered for a while before replying with a smile: "Don't worry, don't be fined." ”

Li Diudiu nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." ”

Xiahou Zhuo snorted and said, "Breath." ”

Li Diudiu said: "It's big." ”

Ye Zhuzhu had been observing these two people, and in front of them, Xiahou Zhuo was not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, but like an old man who had countless life experiences.

But when Xiahou Zhuo and Li Diudian were together, it seemed that their intelligence was suddenly lowered to about seven years old.

Six years old is redundant, and seven years old is a loss.

Ye Zhuzhu didn't understand it at first, but later found out that this is very good, very good, very good.

So when they arrived, Ye Zhuzhu also began to join in, and the three of them chatted about some whimsical topics along the way, and then laughed like three big fools.

Xiahou Zhuo has mentioned it to Ye Zhuzhu several times, after he leaves Jizhou City next year, he hopes that Ye Zhuzhu can protect Li Qi more in secret, Ye Zhuzhu once asked Xiahou Zhuo why he values this young man so much.

Xiahou Zhuo thought carefully for a while and replied with a smile...... Li Qi, like me.

He looked at Ye Zhuzhu's eyes at the time and said seriously: "He is rebellious, he is disobedient, he seems to be a sensible obedient, but he is a rebel by nature, he will not be submissive, and if he does not obey, he will do ......"

"But he's not like me...... What am I from? When I was just able to walk, I already knew that there were few people in Jizhou City who could afford to mess with me, and I was already rampant with the smell of milk, and I was a milk bully before I was weaned, but what about him? He's like me, that's why it's so difficult. ”

After he said these words, he let out a long breath, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "How sad it would be if one day this world smoothed out the edges and corners of Li Qi's body. ”

Ye Zhuzhu thought of himself at that time, how could he not be a person who had been smoothed out by the world early.

Two days later, they arrived in Laihu County, and it seemed a little arrogant to walk with dozens of war horses along the way, but the waist card of Prince Yu's Mansion was heavy enough, and the defenders who passed through the various checkpoints looked at the war horses and were eager to grab it directly, but that waist card was enough to press their greed back to the eighteenth layer of hell.

These war horses are not particularly good breeds, but Dachu lacks horses, especially good horses, otherwise, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, which is known as the world's sharpest, will not always be maintained at about 5,000 people.

A person like Luo Geng, if you give him 5,000 good horses and 5,000 heavily armored knights, he will not take the Black Martial Border Army in his eyes, if you give him 50,000 heavy armored iron horses, he will dare to drive straight into the Red City, the capital of the Black Martial Emperor.

After arriving in Laihu County, Li Diudiu and Xiahou Zhuo went to find Wang Heimin's family, and Ye Zhuzhu took the dozens of war horses to the local Dachu Mansion Soldier Camp, and the waist card of Prince Yu's Mansion still worked, and he ran to the Mansion Soldier Camp in broad daylight to sell horses, and he was not weak at all.

In a small village with a small population, Li Diudiu and Xiahou Zhuo inquired and found Wang Heimin's family, and when the woman who didn't look beautiful or even a little old appeared in front of Li Diudiu, holding the hands of one older and one young, Li Diudiu saw only two words.

Hardships.

"Black ......"

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she looked at the silver in her hand, and for a moment she could not speak.

"Sister-in-law, don't think nonsense."

Xiahou Zhuo smiled hard, took off the waist card of Prince Yu's mansion and handed it to the woman to look at: "Do you know?" ”

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't know, farmer, I have a short knowledge." ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "This is the waist card of Prince Yu's mansion, Brother Hei Min was valued by our prince more than a year ago, exempted him from his crimes, and directly called into the army, but it was also a coincidence......"

Xiahou Zhuo told this lie that he was weak-hearted, paused, and then tried hard to squeeze out a smile and continued: "Youzhou General Luo Geng came to the palace as a guest, and he took a fancy to Brother Hei Min at a glance, and felt that Brother Hei Min was born to be a brave general's material, so he asked Brother Hei Min to go over without saying anything, and now he has gone to Northern Xinjiang to serve in the army. ”

Li Diudiu hurriedly said: "Yes, his armor-piercing appearance is majestic." ”

The woman's eyes lit up, and although there were still some tears, the tears were like stars in the night sky, shining and shining, both joyful and gratifying.

"Brother Hei Min treats people well and has a good relationship with us, we are still young so we can't follow him to Northern Xinjiang, so he entrusts these things to the two of us."

Xiahou Zhuo said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't tell me about this, these silver tickets were hidden by Brother Hei Min before, except for a few of us who have a good relationship with him, no one knows, he went to Northern Xinjiang is a military order that is difficult to disobey, he himself wants to come back to see you, but there is no way." ”

Li Diudiu nodded: "Yes, such a big man, like the Black Iron Tower, when he said that he might not see you for several years in the future, he cried." ”

"Really?"

The light in the woman's eyes grew brighter.

"Did the black man really say he missed us?"

She asked, eagerly.

"Really."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "He also said that when you get mixed with the Wupin General, you can come back to pick you up, sister-in-law, don't you know, our Dachu rules, so that the Wupin General can bring his family." ”

"That's good, that's good."

The woman laughed and wept.

"I'll take good care of the two children and wait for him, and I will definitely wait for him to pick us up."

The woman's hands holding the silver tickets were trembling, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly handed all the silver tickets in her hand to Xiahou Zhuo.

She was a little flustered and said: "He is now a serious identity, maybe how much money is needed, you can bring these silver tickets back to him, he uses them, our mother and mother don't spend much money, and ...... Even if it's gone, I can go and work part-time jobs for people, and I don't have to worry about eating. ”

"Sister-in-law!"

Li Didiu wanted to persuade, but he couldn't help the words, turned his head and shook off the tears in his eyes, pretended to sneeze again, raised his hand and wiped two handfuls on his face.

When the hand left the face, it was all a smile on it, and nothing else.

Li Diudian said seriously: "Sister-in-law, Brother Hei Min expected you to say this, you don't know, the Northern Frontier Army, the military discipline is strict, you can't use money, if you spend money on anyone, if you are caught, it is a felony of bribery, and you will be beheaded!" ”

The words about to be beheaded frightened the woman, and she quickly took back the money.

She said with an embarrassed face: "I don't know much about a woman, don't be surprised by the two sons, I can't help Hei Min do anything, but I can't hurt him, that's okay, I'll keep the silver ......."

Xiahou pondered for a while and said: "Sister-in-law, before leaving, Brother Hei Min said that this silver is enough to buy a house in Jizhou City, and you don't even have a ticket number here, and you can't redeem the silver ticket, so I want you to move to Jizhou City, and it's good to have our brother take care of it." ”

Li Diudiu said: "That's it, now Brother Hei Min is a serious identity, there is no need to hide, but there is one thing, after arriving in Jizhou City, you can't say that you are Wang Heimin's wife, after all, there is a crime on his body, the prince said that he was exempted from the crime, but he can't tell the people, if he says it, it is to destroy the justice of the national law, so he can't say it." ”

"I know, I know."

The woman nodded again and again: "I listen to you and listen to the black man, but the prince said that he is not guilty, so don't you really have to worry?" ”

Li Didiu gestured and said, "The prince is so big, of course he has the final say." ”

Xiahou snorted: "The prince is too big...... Just, well, that big ......."

Xiahou Zhuo and Li Diudiu glanced at each other, and both of them were a little relieved and a little heavy in their eyes.

"Sister-in-law, go pack your things, we'll wait outside the door."

Xiahou Zhuo said a word, and the woman hurriedly answered and pulled the two children to clean up their things, and it could be seen that they were not living very well in this village.

In this world, orphans and widows are outsiders, and it would be strange if the people in the village didn't bully.

"I can keep it for a year."

Xiahou Zhuo said.

Li Diudiu nodded, and then said, "I can keep it for five years." ”

Xiahou snorted, he looked at the older boy, and said to himself: "Five or six years later, he will also be a man." ”

At this time, Ye Zhuzhu came back on a horse, with a smile on his face, and there was no shortage of black money at a glance.

"How much did it sell?"

Xiahou asked.

Ye Zhuzhu lowered his voice and said, "Twenty-six horses, one horse is eighty taels of black soldiers." ”

Li Diudiu raised his foot and was about to take off his shoes, but Xiahou Zhuo was stunned and asked him, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Didiu's face was excited and said: "My fingers are not enough, I take off my shoes and calculate how much I have sold." ”

Zhou because of the extreme shortage of horses, a good war horse is worth a hundred taels, worse also seventy or eighty taels, after the establishment of the Great Chu conquered the grassland, the price of the war horse dropped by more than half, a war horse is worth about thirty taels of silver, but that is when the Great Chu is prosperous.

Now the grassland has long been disobedient to the dispatch of the imperial court, does not respect the orders of the Great Chu Emperor, the Chu army is short of horses, it is normal for a war horse to be worth sixty or seventy taels, and Ye Zhuzhu sold eighty taels and one horses, because of the identity bonus of Prince Yu's mansion.

If it weren't for the people of Prince Yu's Mansion who dared to sell war horses? No number of heads is enough to cut off.

Li Diudiu said excitedly: "Three points, one for one person." ”

Ye Zhuzhu smiled and said, "I don't want it, you two can divide it." ”

Xiahou said: "I'm just joking halfway, the silver is all yours." ”

Li Didiu refused, he insisted on three points, although the war horse was robbed by him, but if he didn't have the identity of Xiahou Zhuoye Zhuzhu, he wouldn't be able to sell it.

In the end, it was easy to say that Xiahou Zhuo and Ye Zhuzhu each took 30%, and Li Diudiu took 40%, and it took a long time to persuade Li Diudiu, he insisted on dividing it into three equal parts.

With this one thing alone, Ye Zhuzhu knew that Li Qi, this guy, was a little brother who could be friends for a lifetime.

Xiahou Zhuo asked with a smile: "Now that you are also rich, treat us to a good meal when you return to Jizhou." ”

Li Diudiu said: "It's not interesting to ask for more directly, why don't we gamble?" ”

He took out a copper coin: "Whoever treats you to see the will of heaven, I will throw it out in a while, I will guess it myself, I guessed wrong, I please, I guessed right, you please." ”

Xiahou said: "Okay, you throw it, one of us guesses the word and the other guesses the word, you can't win, you are such a shrewd little fox when you are stupid?" ”

Li Diudian threw the copper coin: "Guess if it will be broken, I guess it won't be broken, if it is broken, I will please, if it is broken, please don't break it." ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "I'll make it!" ”
