Xu Xiling just sang a song, if Shi Luo resigned at this time, it would seem that she was too hypocritical and arrogant, as if she still regarded herself as the queen and the daughter of the Houmen, and did not take Liu Xiu and others in her eyes at all.

Shi Luo whispered: "Miss Xu is too award-winning, how can the concubine's singing skills be compared with Miss Xu?" ”

Xu Xiling was about to speak, but Shi Luo said with a sy face: "Since Miss Xu recommended the concubine to sing a song, the concubine is so ugly." ”

After speaking, Shi Luo cleared his throat and sang a song. "The swallow in front of the Pianpian Hall, come to see you in winter and summer; Two or three brothers, exiled in other counties. Who should make up the old clothes, and who should bloom the new clothes? Master Lai Dexian, read it for me. The husband came from the door, and he was in the northwest of the oblique ke. 'Don't be silent, the water is clear and the stone is self-seeing. 'Stone

Seeing how tired he is, it is better to travel far away. ”

The song sung by Shi Luo, called "Yan Song Xing", was a very popular song at the time, and Yuefu everywhere often performed this song.

The gist of "Yan Ge Xing" is to tell the story of a wanderer who is wandering outside, life is very difficult, and he is homesick.

Shi Luo's voice is soft and soft, quite like the soft language of Wu Nong in the south of the Yangtze River, and the interpretation of the lyrics of "Yan Song Xing" is very close to the artistic conception, and it is also very in line with the current situation of Liu Xiu and others.

After she finished singing, Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, Cho Qi, Zhu You and others all lowered their heads, and their faces also showed sadness. Xi Cheying glanced around at everyone and asked Liu Xiuxiao with a smile, "What does the lord think Ah Luo sings?" ”

Liu Xiu came back to his senses and immediately stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Like water and song, the aftersound is around, tactful and pleasant, round and jade!" ”

Shi Luo was praised by Liu Xiu and smiled at Liu Xiu embarrassedly. Xi Cheying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then deliberately glanced deeply at Xu Xiling's side. This is called stealing chickens and not eating rice.

Xu Xiling's voice and singing skills are above Shi Luo, but at this moment, her "There is a Beautiful Woman in the North" is naturally far less infectious than Shi Luo's "Yan Song Xing".

Hearing Liu Xiu's words of appreciation for Shi Luo, and seeing Liu Xiu with a smile on his face, looking at Shi Luo with bright eyes, Xu Xiling became more and more unhappy in her heart, and even with it, the more she looked at Xi Cheying, the more unpleasant she became.

Just when everyone was sitting around the bonfire and laughing, Liu Xiu suddenly stopped talking, tilted his ears, and listened carefully. Deng Yu and the others looked at him puzzled and asked, "Lord, what's wrong......

Liu Xiu raised his hand, stopped everyone's questions, and listened for a while, his face turned straight and said, "Someone is coming, and there are many people!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of fire behind them. At first, it was only a sporadic fire, but soon, the firelight became a single piece, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains were all over the field.

This situation made everyone's faces change. Zhu You exclaimed meaningfully: "Who are these people? ”

"I'm afraid it's not good, we have to leave quickly!" Liu Xiu greeted everyone and took the lead in standing up, and the rest of the people also hurriedly got up and quickly packed up their things, the ladies all got into the carriage, and the men got on the horses one after another.

But in the course of a while, the light of the fire had spread to their vicinity, and it was a dense mass of torches, and under the torches stood a dense crowd of people.

Most of them were young men, some with swords in their hands, some with spears, and some with targets and hoes. Seeing Liu Xiu and the others, they were like fierce beasts that saw their prey, screaming and rushing straight up.

Liu Xiu hurriedly said: "It's the Tanxiang Army!" Let's go! ”

This time, the number of the other party is not hundreds, not to mention thousands of people, so many people, even if the individual combat power is not strong, just relying on the number of people can hammer Liu Xiu and their people into pulp.

The retreat route when they came had been completely blocked, and Liu Xiu and the others could only run along Huangze Lake. Gradually, however, the enemy appeared in front of him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Liu Xiu, who was riding a horse and rushing ahead, was hit by several arrows fired by the enemy on one side. Liu Xiu swung his sword with all his strength to block, clanging, and several arrows fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen young men in rags rushed out of the grass by the lake, some with spears and some with wooden sticks.

Liu Xiu secretly gritted his teeth, used his arm strength, and swung his sword outward, clicking, no matter whether it was a spearhead or a stick, they all fell to the ground.

Several young people in the front name retreated one after another, and at the same time shouted screaming: "Liu Xiu is here!" Liu Xiu is here! ”

In the night, the dense figures began to gather quickly towards Liu Xiu's side. Liu Xiu didn't have time to pay attention to the enemies rushing over next to him, and kept urging the horse to rush forward.

Fortunately, the other party has not yet formed a complete encirclement, and the people who rushed out to intercept it sporadically were all killed by Liu Xiu and others and fell to the ground.

They ran along the lakeside for more than ten miles in one go, and finally there was no enemy nearby, but the shouting behind them never stopped, and it was obvious that the other party was still chasing after their buttocks.

Running further, a wide river blocked the way.

Liu Xiu and others knew that this must be a. When they came to the river, there was no way out of them, so they had to run along the river. After running for two or three miles, he saw a flickering fire ahead.

Zhu You was surprised: "Could it be that there is also an enemy ambush ahead?" ”

If the Danxiang army set up an ambush so far away, then they could only accept their fate. Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Rush over and take a look!" ”

The firelight in front of him was only a few sporadic points, and it didn't look like there was a heavy ambush.

When Liu Xiu and his party ran to the front of the fire, they looked at it and saw that it was a few small boats docked on the shore, and those few points of light were hanging oil lamps on the boat.

Several boatmen were sitting on the shore, talking while eating, and when they saw Liu Xiu and others suddenly coming, people were dumbfounded, and their faces were dazed and sluggish.

Liu Xiu took the lead in dismounting, walked up to several boatmen, and arched his hand and said, "A few boatmen, can you make it convenient now and send me to wait to cross the river?" ”

Several of the ship's men were in their thirties and forties, with dark skin and wrinkled faces.

One of the boatmen was about to speak, but another boatman next to him pulled him, and then raised his eyes to look behind Liu Xiu and the others, two or three miles away, there was a large area of firelight, and there was a faint sound of people shouting.

The shipwman asked, "Those people in the back, but they are chasing you?" "Yes!" "Who are they?" "Tanxiang Army!"

When several boatmen heard this, their faces changed at the same time. The boatman who asked asked asked again: "Why did the Tanxiang army chase and kill you?" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Earlier, we were robbed by a small group of Danxiang troops in Deng Village, and we killed the other party's people without saying a word. ”

Several boatmen suddenly realized, no wonder so many Danxiang troops were chasing and killing them. The boatman shook his head and said, "Listen to the accent, you are outsiders, right?" You don't know, the Danxiang army has always held grudges, and they will take revenge, even if they only kill one of them, they will not forgive, and they will definitely retaliate. We dare not send you across the river,

Otherwise, the Tanxiang Army will definitely not let us go in the future! ”

Zhu You hurriedly said, "We can pay you!" ”

The boatman still shook his head and said, "Even if you have more money, if you don't have the life to spend it, it's useless?" ”

Several other boatmen also nodded their heads repeatedly, indicating that their companions were right.

They are all locals who live on the edge of the river, and they make a living by swinging the water, if they help Liu Xiu and others, they cross the river, pat their butts and leave, what about themselves? Where can I go?

Seeing that several boatmen insisted on refusing to send themselves across the river, and the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, Zhu You's eyes were red with anxiety, and he subconsciously raised his hand and held the saber under his ribs.

It really can't be done, he can only kill these boatmen and grab the boat to cross the river.

Liu Xiuyou saw Zhu You's intentions, grabbed his arm first, and shook his head slightly.

What is the difference between them and those Tanxiang troops who are no different from the bandits in the name of rebels? Liu Xiu stabilized Zhu You, who was about to make a move, pondered for a moment, and said to several boatmen: "Xiu can promise a few boatmen that as long as a few boatmen are willing to help me wait to cross the river, we can settle several people through the Yecheng County Government, and we will never report to the Danxiang Army."

Opportunity to regain everyone! ”

Several shippers were stunned, and one of them asked cautiously, "I don't know who this gentleman is?" ”

"In Xia Liu Xiu, from Luoyang, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to appease Hebei!"

Hearing that the person in front of him turned out to be the legendary Liu Xiu, all the boatmen were surprised, and one of the boatmen dared to ask, "Sir...... No, is the adult Liu Xiu who defeated the 400,000 reckless army in Kunyang? ”

"It's down there!"

Several boatmen looked at each other, and then knelt down to give a big salute and said, "The little ones don't know that the adults are coming, please forgive the adults!" ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly helped several boatmen up and said, "Right now, the Tanxiang Army is chasing and killing us, and I hope that a few boatmen can help!" ”

A boatman stomped his foot fiercely, and said excitedly: "The grass people have admired the merits and virtues of the adults for a long time, and when I see the adults today, even if the grass people die, they will die without regrets!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other boatmen, and said: "Our family members were all killed by reckless thieves, and the adults were the heroes who killed the reckless, as if they had avenged our families. ”

The other boatmen only hesitated for a moment, then they all made up their minds and said to Liu Xiu and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, get on the boat quickly, I will send you across the river!" ”

Liu Xiu and others were overjoyed when they heard this. As the saying goes, if you plant good causes, you will get good results. Liu Xiu did not make meritorious contributions in vain, even if he was jealous of Liu Xuan and the people of the Green Forest Department, and was not reused by the Imperial Court, but the people remembered Liu Xiu's achievements.

In addition, Liu Xiu's benevolent government everywhere he went also made him win a good reputation among the people, even here in Hebei, the people's impression of Liu Xiu is also very good.

In troubled times, word-of-mouth is also one of the prerequisites for a person's success.

Although there were six boats in all, they were all small boats, and they were already crowded when they sat down, and the horses could not get on the boats under any circumstances.

As for the two wagons in the procession, it was impossible to get on board, and the horses and carriages had to be thrown on the shore.

When everyone was carrying things onto the boat, the Danxiang army behind had already chased and killed to the front. Liu Xiu took out his saber and said to Deng Yu: "Zhonghua, don't want things if you can, you take everyone on the boat first, and I'll break the back!" As he spoke, he raised his sword and faced the first few big men to chase and kill.
