Chapter 29: A Thousand Autumns of Loyalty (2)

"Second master, are you back?"

"Second master, what's the harvest today?"

The greetings came and went, and it was more like a village than a bandit's den. A secluded and secluded village.

"Second master, do you have any good gains today?" An aunt shouted loudly.

The calf snatched the conversation: "Yes, yes, the second master has caught a great fortune for us and come back!" ”

"Yo! It's still a lot of wealth, huh? Is it enough for a big guy to eat a pork dumpling? ”

"It's more than enough for you to eat the whole pig!"

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.

While speaking, Chu Qingruo and his party were taken into the house with the plaque of "Loyalty and Righteousness". I saw an ebony chair with a tiger skin in the middle of the house, and on the wall behind the chair, there was a big word "Yi" written on it. At the bottom of the hand, there are four ebony chairs on the left and right sides. At first glance, it is the council chamber here.

On the ebony chair sat a slender and tall young man, who looked to be about twenty years old.

Fair-skinned and handsome, with beautiful red phoenix eyes and a goose egg face, she looks quite beautiful. He leaned on the handle of the chair, holding a book in his hand, looking intently.

"The big boss." The bandits came forward one after another to salute.

"Hmm. What's going on with these people? The boy spoke, a male and female voice, slightly magnetic.

"Big boss, this kid looks like the person on the portrait of King Jinyang! Why don't we take him to receive a bounty from King Jinyang? The calf leaned forward with his tail wagging and whispered in the ear of the big master.

"Smack!" The scroll in the young man's hand slapped him on the head mercilessly. "Nonsense! Send people down the mountain! ”

The calf touched his head dejectedly and glanced at Xiong Er's master. I saw him wink at him and pouted: "Didn't you hear the words of the big boss?" Get people out of here! ”

The calf was very clever, and when he heard that he said to get it out, instead of going down, he immediately smiled and took the rest of the cubs, and even coaxed Chu Qingruo and his party out of the meeting hall.

Out of the council room, he instructed the little cubs on the side to get a few empty houses first, lock them up, and wait for the second boss to come out before they leave.

The cubs locked Chu Qingruo and his party in a small room next to them. He also locked Yi Qing and Yuan Tong in a grass hut on a hill opposite. Even Ah Yan was tied to a pillar in the house by them, and let out a whimpering sound.

After a while, the second master Xiong in the council hall came out with a depressed face.

The calf went up and asked how it was? Xiong Er's master didn't speak, and his face was irritable.

This place is called Juyi Village, the surname of the big boss is Cheng, and the big name is called Cheng Yujiao, which is the descendant of the old general Cheng who was beheaded by the whole house in Changping County. was led by the loyal Xiong Ping, who was also in charge of Xiong Er, and led a group of die-hard subordinates to rescue her from the court. There are dozens of people in the Cheng family, and she only has such a little blood, but she is a girl.

Seeing the irritability of the second master, the calf stepped forward to comfort: "The big boss has always been chivalrous, and he is unwilling to accept the recruitment of King Jinyang, even if he doesn't bother to receive the bounty, this, this is called what the big guys in the cottage eat!" Ay! Second, the master, why don't the two of us secretly escort people to receive the reward? ”

"The big boss didn't nod, you kid is not allowed to assert himself!" Xiong Ping slapped him on the head. "The big boss must have her own ideas, don't make a mess of you, I, I'll go talk to her again."

In the evening, Xiong Ping was drinking alone in the conference hall, and the big boss came over.

"Uncle Xiong!"

"Humph!" Turn your head and ignore her.

Cheng Yujiao knew that he was making trouble with her for the sake of catching the few people who came up the mountain today.

Stretched out the wine bottle in his hand, took a few gulps, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said, "Uncle Xiong, I know you are good for the cottage."

But how can the King of Jinyang be a good match? He has repeatedly sent people to the cottage to recruit peace, but I have refused, and now we go to receive his bounty of silver, don't we want him to think that we have taken the initiative to show favor to him? ”

Seeing that Xiong Ping was still turning his back to her and ignoring her, she couldn't help but turn his body funny, and said coquettishly: "Uncle Xiong~ You listen to me~ You are kind-hearted, and you want to prepare more silver taels for the cottage guys, I understand this intention."

But a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, and we are also famous after all, how can we lose our integrity for these silver taels, right? Besides, the King of Jinyang has secretly recruited troops and horses and hoarded grain and grass all these years, and in my opinion, his posture is either rebellion or rebellion.

If we get involved, not only will we not be able to redress the grievances of the Cheng family, but we are afraid that in the end, we will have to implement this crime of committing chaos and beheading all over the house, and we will be infamous as a rebellious minister and thief.

In this way, how do you tell me to be worthy of the ancestors of our Cheng family? How can you be worthy of the loyalty of the Cheng family's ancestors? Are you right, Uncle Xiong?

Besides, even if I am willing to take refuge in the King of Jinyang, what about the other brothers in the cottage? I can't take them on a road of no return! ”

When Xiong Ping heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt her words, and looked at her resentfully: "But you don't rob this, you don't rob that, there are a lot of rules, and there will be almost no rice in the cottage, do you know it?" ”

"Ahem" choked on a mouthful of wine, she coughed a few times, "No rice in the pot?" That's not easy, we can eat sweet potatoes! Hey~ Isn't there still corn, corn is also delicious! ”

Xiong Ping was stunned by her anger, and sighed: "Forget it, you are the big boss, I can't control you, whatever you want." ”

"Then listen to me, we'll release the people early tomorrow morning, how about it?"

Xiong was speechless calmly, snorted, grabbed a jar of wine, took a big sip of wine, and ignored him.

Cheng Yujiao happily threw herself into his arms and said angrily: "Uncle Xiong~ I know that you love me the most." Come, calf! Bring a jar of good wine, I'll accompany Uncle Xiong to have a drink tonight! ”

Xiong snorted calmly: "Then this kid can't be exchanged for a bounty, I see that he looks good, why don't you marry him and give birth to a few dolls, so that your old Cheng family will have a future." ”

Cheng Yujiao couldn't help but roll her eyes, that guy is good-looking, and he was a little excited to see him today, but he can't force others to become biological dolls with him because of this?

A few more! Is Uncle Xiong planning to treat him as a breeding pig?

Who knows, Xiong Ping and Cheng Yujiao's unintentional words were listened to by a little cub who passed by inadvertently, and within one night, it spread throughout the entire cottage.

On the second day, hundreds of people from up and down the village stood neatly on the flat ground outside like soldiers, and when they saw Yi Qing coming over, they said in unison: "Uncle, morning!" The loud shout resounded in the sky, startling the birds in the forest and startling Yi Qing.

Uncle? Who?

He was a little confused, and while looking at them inexplicably, he followed the calf leading the way to the flower hall.

There was a simple log table in the flower hall, which was full of all kinds of breakfast, and Chu Qingruo, Han Ling'er and Zhou's mother had been politely invited to the table to eat breakfast. Commander Yuan, who was still asleep yesterday, is also sitting calmly at this moment.

"Ahem, did you use it too early? Then you pack up, and I'll send you down the mountain." ”

Yi Qing followed the voice and looked over, and after speaking, he saw Cheng Yujiao, the big boss of Juyi Village, wave his hand, summoned a group of little cubs, brought their luggage, caught up with their carriage and sent them down the mountain.

Yi Qing secretly wondered in his heart, which one is this singing, yesterday he was robbed up the mountain by shouting and shouting and killing, and today he was sent down the mountain with delicious food and drink, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of these thieves?

Anyway, since everyone is safe and sound, I won't go to the bottom of it for the time being, and leave here to do in-depth research.

Heartbroken, the cubs waved goodbye to their "uncle" and returned to the mountain.

Chu Qingruo and his party returned to the place where they were arrested halfway up the mountain, and the dogs had long since disappeared, and Chu Qingruo secretly laughed at their greed for life and fear of death.

Although they were detained overnight last night, fortunately, there was no danger, and the next few days were peaceful, and they arrived in Changping County safely all the way.

Compared with Weihe County, there are more medicinal herb shops than inns in Changping County. Chu Qingruo and his party asked for directions a few times before finding an inn that looked slightly more decent.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a few bags thrown out of it, and then I saw that several women were also thrown out one after another, and they fell down the street at the entrance of the inn together.

Xiao Er stood on the steps at the door of the inn, patted the ashes on his hands, and scolded: "I've heard of eating and drinking for nothing, but I didn't expect that even people in the inn would dare to come to live in vain these years." ”

Everyone looked at it, and the few people lying on the ground were not the four dogs of Mrs. He?

When the four dogs were in despair, they looked up and saw Chu Qingruo and his party looking at them with interest, and they all thought: She, are they all right? Now there is salvation!

Mrs. He got up in embarrassment, picked up the package, patted the dirt on her body, and pounced over with a happy face: "Oh, Miss, it's great that you're okay!" ”

Han Ling'er and Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward and stopped side by side, and Mrs. He pounced and smiled at them awkwardly.

Chu Qingruo was secretly funny: Thinking about how arrogant this person was when he came to the Chu family's small courtyard, but now it has become so obscene and pathetic. Alas...... If you know today, why bother in the first place?

"Mother He, how did you end up like this?" Chu Qingruo deliberately asked knowingly.
