Chapter 108: The Beginning of War
These days, Zhang Shumo followed Liang Qi during the day to inspect whether the measures taken by the government were effective, and went home to accompany his family at night, but he was not as busy as he imagined. The life of the Lou family was not affected by this incident, and everyone was still a little worried at first, but after two days of peaceful life, everyone had nothing to fear, and lived their lives step by step.
In the days since Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying left, the relationship between Lou Guang and Qiuqiu has become better and better. Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Lou Zaiying was very happy, and even had the heart to match the two.
Early this morning, Lou Zaiying was talking to Zhang Shumo about Lou Guang and Qiuqiu, but Zhang Shumo persuaded her to let it go again, first, the two were only fourteen years old, and second, the current situation was unstable, and maybe something would happen.
The two walked out as they spoke, preparing to join Liang Qi to patrol the streets. Lou Zaiying was about to refute Zhang Shumo's words, but Zhang Shumo suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, Lou Zaiying couldn't help but laugh: "See, if you don't agree, the land lord will start to punish you." ”
Zhang Shumo bared his teeth in pain, Lou Zaiying helped him up, and the two found a clay bowl on the ground that had been stepped on.
At this time, a down-and-down little Taoist priest suddenly ran over: "Okay, you stepped on my bowl, what do you say?" ”
Lou Zaiying looked at it and asked unceremoniously: "Who asked you to put the bowl at the door of our house, you will be trampled on in the middle of the road!" ”
The Taoist priest looked at Lou Zaiying and said disdainfully: "When a man speaks, what does a woman answer?" ”
Lou Zaiying was immediately furious when she heard this, and Zhang Shumo hurriedly stopped her. This Taoist priest was in rags, his hair was unkempt, and the mud in his nails was thick, and he suffered a lot at first sight. So Zhang Shumo took out ten yuan: "I'll lose your money, you can buy a new one." ”
Who knew that the scholar waved his hand: "I don't want money, my master said, this bowl is my natal bowl, whoever steps on it, I have to follow someone for the rest of my life!" ”
"You!" When Lou Zaiying heard this, he angrily raised his hand and pointed at the Taoist priest's nose: "Are you a scoundrel?" If you smash a bowl, you will be in our house? ”
Zhang Shumo was also very unhappy on the side, feeling that this Taoist priest would inevitably gain an inch.
Who knows that Shi glanced at Lou Zaiying again: "Men speak, women don't interject!" ”
"You! Looking for a fight! Lou Zaiying punched over, and the Taoist priest who was standing lazily in place suddenly smiled weirdly, and his figure flashed suddenly, not only dodging Lou Zaiying's punch, but also the whole person had come behind Lou Zaiying, grabbing Lou Zaiying's other arm.
Lou Zaiying broke out in a cold sweat, this Taoist priest is so fast! I have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, but I can't achieve such a body at all, this Taoist priest looks about the same age as himself, how can he be so fast?
Zhang Shumo also saw Lou Zaiying defeated in a battle with his peers for the first time, and couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest curiously.
The Taoist priest smiled proudly: "How is it?" Are you impressed by my dashing skills? Just keep me around, at least I'm more useful than this woman, right? ”
Zhang Shumo's face was full of disgust after hearing this, and he yelled at the Taoist priest: "She is my wife!" Don't let it go yet! ”
When the Taoist priest heard this, he quickly let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, misunderstanding, I thought she was your guard." ”
Lou Zaiying was subdued by someone for the first time at such a big age, although he was not convinced on the surface, but in his heart he admired the skills of the Taoist priest, and snorted heavily and stopped talking.
Zhang Shumo thought to himself, this Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, maybe his father found a master to protect him, since he is willing to follow him, there is no reason to drive him away.
So Zhang Shumo said to the Taoist priest: "Follow me, but you can't speak freely in the future, but you are also a cultivator." ”
The Taoist priest smiled: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." As long as I follow you, you can do whatever you say. ”
Zhang Shumo also smiled and arched his hand to the Taoist priest: "In the next chapter Shumo, this is my lady Lou Zaiying, I don't know your honorable name?" ”
The Taoist priest arched his hand towards the two: "The master is good, the wife is good, the next surname is Liu, and the Taoist name is natural, so you can call me Liu Nature." ”
"Daoist Liu, we have to go to business later, and we can't take Daochang with us. This is my home, so how about I first complain that the Taoist will stay at my house all morning and wash up? ”
Who knew that Liu naturally shook his head: "I'll still follow you, I've calculated, you will definitely leave Qinghua City today, I'm afraid I won't find you if I stay at your house all morning." ”
Zhang Shumo raised his eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "Okay, then you can follow me." ”
When the three of them saw Liang Qi, Liang Qi was very curious about Liu Tiantian's joining, and Liu Tiantian was not blind, and chatted with Liang Qi all over the world.
Several people chatted while inspecting the situation, and walked to a grain store in Wang Geng, where they happened to meet Wang Geng. Wang Geng saw Zhang Shumo and naturally stepped forward: "Zhang Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time, and he is really impressed." A few days ago, the dog said that he missed Zhang Gongzi very much and wanted to go to Xu Liangcheng to find you. ”
Zhang Shumo arched his hand to Wang Geng: "I've been too busy lately, I haven't had time to see Wang Chen, let's go see him after a while." ”
While the two were talking, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "Lord Liang, Lord Zhang, the county order invites you to go to the yamen to discuss matters!" ”
The two exchanged glances and hurriedly ran towards the county office. Liu naturally said proudly to Lou Zaiying next to him: "Madame, what do you think of my calculations?" Today, the master will definitely leave Thanh Hoa City, so I advise the lady to hurry home and prepare for something. ”
Lou Zaiying pouted: "Let's go see what's going on first, I don't believe that things are so urgent that I don't even have time to go home and pack my things!" ”
When he came to the county office, there were already a lot of people gathered inside, and as soon as Zhang Jian saw the two, he hurriedly said: "Just now, a few pavilion chiefs came to report, saying that they saw a large number of people and horses crossing the border, Yang Hua has already seen the map just now, this group of people and horses came from the north, bypassing from the west of Qinghua City, it is likely to go to Xu Liangcheng!" ”
When Liang Qi heard this, he hurriedly asked the pavilion chief next to him: "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
"It's uncountable, the black pressure is overwhelming, and there must be more than 10,000 cavalry alone!"
The remaining pavilion chiefs also echoed one after another, and according to the information provided by the pavilion chiefs, everyone judged that the other party had at least about 20,000 people.
Liang Qi frowned after hearing this: "More than 10,000 cavalry? The entire Northwest Army has only 10,000 cavalry, and the West Route Army and the North Route Army each have 5,000, if the transit force is the North Route Army, there should only be 5,000 cavalry. ”
