After understanding, Dai Zong understood.

It turned out that this old man was Zhou Bo's father's younger brother, named Zhou Tong.

At that time, because the Zhou family was poor, I was afraid that I would not be able to support two children. There is no way, the old Zhou family can only send Zhou Tong, the youngest son, to the wandering knight and entrust him to take care of it.

This kind of care has been taken care of for fifteen years, and in these fifteen years, Zhou Tong has also learned a good martial art from the chivalrous man.

After that, Zhou Tong spent another five years, traveling the world, and looking for the Zhou family. In the end, he returned to the Zhou family and recognized his ancestors.

And Zhou Bo's father, that is, his brother, had already returned to heaven due to illness, leaving Zhou Bo with a single seedling and his sister-in-law.

After Zhou Tong knew about it, he naturally took on the responsibility of raising Zhou Bo. During this period, he also taught Zhou Bo a lot of skills. This made Zhou Bo shine on the anti-Qin battlefield!

Therefore, Zhou Bo's achievements today are indispensable to the cultivation of Zhou Tong's uncle.

And Zhou Tong also because of Zhou Bo, he never married, and he had no heirs under his knees. is completely raising and taking care of his nephew as if he were his own child.

At this point, Zhou Bo often said to his family that he should respect Zhou Tong like his father, and not be slack.

Therefore, the officials in Chang'an naturally know Zhou Tong, and everyone calls him the second master.

This time, Zhou Tong originally took his nephew and grandson, Zhou Yafu, to travel the world, and by the way, he visited his old friends and taught Zhou Yafu some skills.

However, when the ancestors and grandsons had just traveled to Ba County, they heard that Zhou Bo was in Shouchun and let the Chu army capture him.

Zhou Tong originally planned to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but he happened to run into Zhao Tuo's troops, and almost all the routes were guarded by officers and soldiers.

In this way, the two ancestors and grandsons had to stay at a friend's house in Bajun for more than three months, and only after the Qin army relaxed the lockdown did they return to Chang'an.

…………

At this time, Zhou Bo's eldest son, that is, Zhou Sheng, told Zhou Tong everything about the past few months as soon as they met.

After hearing this, Zhou Tong immediately frowned and said, "Sheng'er, so you can't hear from your father for three months?" ”

"Yes! Since I asked the Koto merchant three months ago, I haven't heard from my father. No, my mother has not slept well and eaten well every day for the past three months. The whole person has gone all the way! Zhou Sheng sighed and said.

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry again: "Uncle, do you think that the husband will annoy that Xiang Yu." Already ......"

When the old man heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Alas! Don't jump to conclusions until it's completely decided.

The old man and Yafu came all the way, and they heard on the road that the Qin army not only came to the Han this time, but even the Jiujiang area was already in chaos.

I'm afraid it's just because of the war, so the news doesn't come out so easily. ”

"That's right! Mother, eldest brother, Dad is a blessed person, I believe Dad is not so easy to have an accident! Zhou Yafu on the side also opened his mouth to comfort the two.

"Hmmm! Yafu is right, what we can do now is only to wait, and when the news comes out, I will go to Jiangdong in person.

As long as Bo'er lives, I will fight this old bone and save him from Xiang Yu! The old man said resolutely.

When Dai Zong saw the old man's resolute look, he immediately couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward and said, "Senior Zhou, I know the news of Jianghou. ”

"What?!" At this time, the housekeeper who was hiding outside the hall couldn't help but exclaim in his heart when he heard it.

When the Zhou family heard this, they also looked at Dai Zong in front of them in disbelief.

"What? If you know the news of Bo'er, please tell us quickly! Zhou Tong immediately requested.

"Senior, naturally, the reason why I will go with you is precisely because I heard that you are Jianghou's family.

The younger generation also has a letter from the Marquis of Jiang. It's just that it's not on the juniors for the time being. I'll have to wait until later to hand it over to my seniors.

And the younger generation assured that the marquis was not worried about his life, so he hoped that the seniors and his wife would be relieved. Dai Zong immediately spoke.

After all, this Marquis has been captured for more than half a year, and a letter from home can be said to be worth 10,000 gold. It's a pity that when Dai Zong heard that the old man was from the Zhou family.

As soon as my head was hot, I followed! I forgot my luggage in the inn.

"Good! Good! Good! Zhou Tong listened, and immediately shouted three times in a row, looking extremely excited.

And when Zhou Bo's wife heard that her husband was not worried about his life, she immediately held back her tears.

Just as Dai Zong wanted to say more, the voice of the servant suddenly sounded outside the door. The housekeeper who was hiding outside the door saw it, and he was immediately frightened and quietly hid in the corner.

Fortunately, the maid was in a hurry, and did not find the butler around the corner, but went straight to the main hall and woke up when he told everyone.

When Dai Zong heard this, he immediately said that he wanted to go to check the situation of the time change. Zhou Tong naturally went to check it out, and apologized to Shi Qian personally by the way.

…………

That night, Dai Zong and Shi Qian stayed in the Jianghou Mansion.

As soon as it dawned on the second day, he went straight to the inn to get his bags and handed over Zhou Bo's letter to the Zhou family.

As everyone knows, it was this kind of disaster that brought ruin to the Zhou family!

At the fourth watch of the same night, the army and horses suddenly surrounded the Jianghou Mansion.

After Zhou Tong found out, he immediately went straight to Dai Zong and Shi Qian's room. Let the two of them not panic and go out to have a look first.

But less than a moment after Zhou Tong went out, Dai Zong and the two heard shouts and screams outside in the room.

The two realized that something was wrong and immediately opened the window with a small eye. This look frightened the two of them.

I saw that the courtyard was covered with blood, and the corpses of the old servants who had been caring for them during the day were still lying on the ground.

In the courtyard, the Han army was holding weapons and slaughtering the people in the palace of the Marquis of Jiang.

Dai Zong and Shi Qian looked at it, and it was okay to kick the door open. Rushed into the courtyard, stepped forward to dodge the weapons from the hands of the officers and soldiers, and slashed at the Han soldiers.

At this time, the leading lieutenant naturally discovered Dai Zong and the others, and immediately shouted: "Don't let the traitor go!" Take it for me! ”

When the Han soldiers heard this, they immediately surrounded the two. At the beginning, the two of them were happy to kill, like chopping melons and vegetables.

But there were too many Han troops, and they were wounded when the time went by. Gradually, Shi Qian felt physically exhausted. Several times, it was Dai Zong's quick eyes and quick hands to help him block the attacking Han army.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that Shi Qian already has a few blood holes on his body now.

The two looked at the more and more Han troops, and were unconsciously forced to the side of the rockery.

"Ben General, give you a chance! As long as you surrender and hand over the evidence of Zhou Bo's rebellion, you will not die!

If not! Rectify the Dharma on the spot! No forgiveness! At this time, the general of the Han army looked at the two people who were fighting the trapped beasts in front of him, and immediately lured them down.

"Humph! Want your grandfather to let us drop you? You dream! ”

"Good! Then don't blame the general! Come! Shoot the arrows! ”

As soon as the Han general's words fell, a hundred Han soldiers armed with bows and arrows ran in from outside, aiming at the two.
