Wang Hong and the others packed up their bags in a few clicks, and Liu Ximing led a group of people to find a tea stall on the side of the road and sit down.

"You're a fugitive soldier, aren't you?"

Wang Hong and the others had just sat down cautiously, but Liu Ximing's words made them feel like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Zhao Ye didn't say a word, and immediately wanted to get up and pull a few people to escape.

"Wait", Liu Ximing looked at the few people who were stopped by Li Biao and the others with some amusement, and hurriedly said to stop them.

"Sit down and talk, if I thought that you would have already done it, why wait until now."

Wang Hong glared at Zhao Ye fiercely, and somewhat blamed him for being so uncontrollable.

"Childe, forgive me, it's really the little ones who are scared and don't dare to take this risk."

Desertion is a big crime in these years, and Yu Yongkai's patrol has a very important duty to hunt down and intercept deserters from all over the world, so Liu Ximing is more understanding of their reactions.

He smiled and gestured to the stool for them to sit down and talk.

"I'm not a member of the government, I don't care if you are a fugitive military household, I just want to know what the situation is in Shaanxi, you go all the way south, you must know a lot about the situation over there."

Wang Hong saw that Liu Ximing's expression was sincere, and the worry in his heart was relaxed.

He took a sip of the coarse tea bowl on the tea stall and said, "What does Childe want to know?" ”

"Where did you come from?"

"We are the military household of Sui Dewei, because I can't go on, so I fled, my name is Wang Hong, these two are my brothers Zhao Ye and Han He."

"Where's Sui Dewei?" , Xie Wenle asked with some curiosity.

Liu Ximing thought about it for a while, he had finally seen the map of this dynasty in Jinyiwei, "It should be in the Yulin area of northern Shaanxi, not far from Shanxi." ”

"What is the disaster in Shaanxi now? What about the rebellion? ”

An unspeakable pain appeared on Wang Hong's face, "Just like the reader said, Shaanxi, especially in northern Shaanxi, is now a thousand miles of red land, no grass grows, and no people and animals can eat it......"

Although Wang Hong seems to be five big and three coarse, he is also reasonable when he speaks.

Listening to his detailed description of the natural and man-made disasters in Shaanxi in recent years, Liu Ximing and others seemed to feel that a miserable picture of hell on earth was slowly unfolding in front of them.

During this period, although the thieves such as Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng had moved to Henan, there were still many small bands of thieves in Shaanxi who were looting and wandering around, and because the strategic center of gravity of the official army had also shifted to Henan, these small bands of thieves were more wanton, but the impact was not as great as that of Gao Yingxiang and other troops.

Liu Ximing listened to it but felt that something was wrong, this year is the eighth year of Chongzhen, although he didn't learn history too well, but he couldn't stand up to seeing too much history.

He vaguely remembered that in the past two years, there seemed to be a major event, and Comrade Xiao Zhu's ancestral grave seemed to have been taken away by Zhang Xianzhong.

But now listening to Wang Hongyi, Gao Yingxiang and others are still wandering in Henan, and Zhang Xianzhong has entered Kuizhou according to the news in the county, what the hell is going on.

Liu Ximing was a little impatient in his heart, although he was ready to fan his little wings in time and space, but I haven't grown up yet, what if I am knocked to the ground by the tide of an era.

Maybe Liu Ximing never thought that this series of things was really related to him.

If he hadn't been involved in the matter of receiving the Yuanjiao at the beginning, Liu Jianhou might not have dared to just let Jinyiwei come to the door, and he would not have attracted Hou Liangzhu to send troops to come, let alone let Zhang Xianzhong find a gap to break into Kuizhou and deviate from the original historical trajectory.

"I heard that the imperial court has sent several dignitaries to disaster relief, isn't it useless?" , Zhao Xiangyang asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, the imperial court? What will those officials do besides making money? I heard that Xi'an has sent porridge once or twice, but you can see the figure of the porridge, what use do you say? ”

Zhao Ye interjected angrily, and Wang Hong turned his head to look at him again.

Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and the others glanced at each other, their eyes full of horror.

Liu Ximing pursed his lips, what is this, there are more appalling things about these officials in the Meng Dynasty.

"I think your martial arts are good, I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary military household, right?"

Wang Hong's somewhat bronzed face flashed a hint of a smile, and he clenched his fists and replied: "Son's good eyesight, I don't think a few nobles are like any wicked people, so I have the courage to tell you that I have served as a hundred household officials of Suidewei in Xia." ”

Several people at the table were a little surprised, this guy was still an officer?

Liu Ximing knew it in his heart, he felt that this Wang Hong's conversation was not like an ordinary big-headed soldier, but it was just ......

"How can you be a dignified official of a hundred households who want to flee to Sichuan, is it possible that all the members of Suidewei have collapsed?"

Wang Hong shook his head, gritted his teeth and replied: "That's not the case, it was originally a hundred households in Yihebao, Yihebao is located east of Suide, and it is the only way for Shanxi to pass through Yulin. ”

He smiled at Liu Ximing and the others with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid that I will dirty the ears of several nobles when I say these things." ”

"It's okay, the world is like this, where is there a person who is awake."

"Although it is said that you can pass by receiving some filial piety, but you still know some court rules in the next place, if there are large quantities of prohibited items to clear the customs, it is not accurate, a few years ago, these businessmen also knew some good things, at most sold some iron and other things, although there is a suspicion of being an enemy, but it is not too much."

"But since the year before last, there have been some people who have started to smuggle knives and guns directly to the grassland on a large scale, and I can't look past the villain, so I took my brothers to stop a few batches."

"I didn't expect this to poke the hornet's nest, the fort is about to be attacked every once in a while, these people are all knights, there is no trace of coming and going, and they can't prevent it if they want to."

"In July last year, thousands of horse thieves came directly, wanting to kill us and others, but in the end, it was the brothers who desperately let us escape on horseback."

Seeing that Wang Hong and the others were talking and their eyes turned red again, Xie Wenle asked a little speechlessly: "Why don't you report such things to Shangfeng and send troops to suppress them?" ”

"Report", Wang Hong restrained his emotions, "We fled all the way to Yulin Town, who knew that the chief military officer Wang Ding just prevaricated but did not send troops, that night we were attacked again in the place where we stayed, and no one in the city came to save the officers and soldiers, fortunately, we had a few lives, and escaped by hiding in a family's haystack, and then we went all the way to Chengdu." ”

Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and others don't even have the strength to be angry now, this is fucking clear that it is a collusion between officials and bandits.

"Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents", what is the virtue of these Shanxi businessmen in the late Meng period, Liu Xi's life is clear, after all, the eight families who were proclaimed by the Tartars later are famous in history.

"You came out with children?"

Li Biao pointed to the two children who followed Wang Hong and the others a little strangely.

"Their names are Dai Tong and Yu Jian, they all met us on the road, and they happened to die my father, my eldest brother saw that they were pitiful, so he took them along the way, and there were more than twenty outside the city."

Zhao Ye answered.

Liu Ximing's gaze at Wang Hong was different, no wonder so many powerful men would fall to the point of performing on the streets, with their skills, it must be simple to go to a big family to be a guard.

After thinking about it, he took out five taels of silver and gently put it on the table, "I don't think what you said seems to be a fake, someone Liu respects you as a man, and today I thank you for telling a lot of things, and you can use this money to save the emergency." ”

Wang Hong and the others suddenly opened their eyes, and the two children swallowed their saliva hard, and looked at Wang Hong with blank eyes.

"Thank you, Childe, I don't know if there are any orders you want us to do?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Hong did not rashly accept the silver, but expressed his doubts.

Liu Ximing smiled lightly, this hundred-household official is really a talent, cautious and steady, which is rare.

He smiled and said: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that a few of you want to help me, and I have also survived the hard days, and I know how difficult it is." ”

After Liu Ximing finished speaking, he stood up and beckoned to Dou Yuquan, "Let's go, it's not early, we should go back." ”

"Childe"

"Thank you, Childe"

Wang Hong didn't expect Liu Ximing to be so generous, and when he saw a few of them get up, he immediately stood up, and hugged his fists with excitement on his face to thank him.

"Second brother, you won't take a fancy to a few of them, will you?" , Li Biao followed out for a short time, and listened with some curiosity.

"Roll the calf", Liu Ximing kicked Li Biao's buttocks, "He's such a big man, how can I say that I have a crush on him." ”

"Hahaha", everyone laughed.

"However, this man is a good hand, and you can find a few people to follow him later, and find out where they live."

Liu Ximing did care about Wang Hong, but he made the mistake of being cautious again, especially at this juncture, he still had to be careful in everything.
