Daqing knelt down, one for the father, the parents' order can not be violated, this is humane filial piety, this is the accumulation of the ages, one for the emperor's grace, this is thousands of years of indoctrination, although King Chuang has repeatedly emphasized that his knees only kneel to his parents and the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the rest is that the king of heaven and son do not kneel, but here is the order of the father.

The knees that had been standing straight were bent again, and they could no longer stand straight.

Daqing is like this now, when Master Zhou Ji was holding his hands up, he trembled, lowered his head and no longer dared to look at the county order that he didn't look at directly just now.

"If the master has any instructions, please tell the little one, me, me." Although I still feel guilty in my heart, I have no struggle, and it is difficult: "I will do my best to serve the adults." ”

"Good, good, good man." Zhou Ji laughed, but in Zhou Ji's eyes, the strong man who was originally favored by Zhou Ji no longer has iron bones, and has become a sick cat, is this still a strong man a few breaths ago? Is such a person still secretly praised in his heart?

For such a person, there is no need to treat him as a strong man anymore.

Zhou Ji sat back in his original seat, wrapped himself in a heavy cloak, and then asked with a smile as much as possible: "Daqing, tell me about the situation of the thieves on the other side." ”

Daqing leaned over and looked at the villagers who came around, and wanted to say something with difficulty, but he still stopped.

Dad was in a hurry at first sight, when is this, it is the key to atonement for his sins, whether the family will be a good citizen or a thief in the future, it all depends on the son's performance at this time, so he went up and kicked again: "The old man asked, what are you doing?" Don't you tell us more about the situation of the thief on the other side? Will the merit atone for the sins and make meritorious service to the emperor? ”

The reason why it is said that he has made meritorious contributions to the emperor of the imperial court is that he may be rewarded with land, twenty acres, or maybe fifty acres of good land without taxes. This is the little bit of cunning of the small peasant, which everyone can see.

Zhou Ji squinted his eyes and smiled, and he didn't break it, and followed his father's words: "Yes, say it, if you say it, you will no longer be a thief, but a meritorious person of the court, and at that time, I will give your family credit to the governor." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the men who were still trying to avoid the wind were extremely greedy, and they wished that they would now have their children as thieves on the other side, so that they could get this unusual grace.

Daqing looked left and right, and then, licking his chapped lips with difficulty, after a long struggle, he asked, "Master, does what you say count?" Can the emperor really forgive those of us who have been poles? ”

"Of course, these are the words of the emperor and the governor, and they are also my words." Zhou Ji said with a smile, and reminded again firmly: "Don't you see that I have spoken to the people once in all these years?" ”

That's right, Master Zhou Ji really hasn't talked in these years, although it seems that what he said is Cui Yi's tax and servitude, that is really what he says.

"Okay, I will believe the words of the eldest lord and the emperor." In fact, this is just Daqing making an excuse for his betrayal to comfort his guilty heart.

Zhou Ji smiled and didn't answer, just waiting for Daqing to tell the matter bit by bit, such a person will no longer hide anything.

"On the cliff ahead, there are a total of five hidden caves, and a team is stationed in each cave." Daqing said weakly. "By the way, our squad is one of the original officers and soldiers, that is, ten people plus the main and deputy squad leaders."

Zhou Ji still didn't speak, just smiled, looked at Daqing wrapped in a cloak and said, occasionally nodding lightly.

"Our squads are mainly to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers, as long as our officers and troops show signs of attack, they will set off fireworks to report to the main force of Chenjiabao behind, and then block the officers and troops for half an hour before retreating." Seeing that the eldest lord still had a trusting smile on his face, Daqing's words, which were originally stammering, became fluent: "By the way, in fact, the captain of the Guangwu garrison has already received the news that the eldest lord and his brothers have arrived with his brothers, and he also knows that the eldest lord and his brothers have been starving here for three days." ”

This news surprised Zhou Ji and Qianhu, feeling that what they were doing had long been under the noses of others, and they thought they were unaware, and they still wanted to wait for Li Yuanhao and Zhang Yuan to invade the heart of the thief, and they were opportunistic, it seems that they didn't want to think about it, thinking of this, the two looked at each other, their expressions were a little embarrassed, and they were a little panicked.

Since the thieves already knew that they were here, why didn't they send troops to fight themselves at this time?

With this question, Zhou Ji looked at Daqing with his eyes, and Daqing no longer spoke more fluently like just now: "It's just that Captain Guangwu has received a strict order from King Chuang and the commander of the infantry army, and he is not allowed to send troops without authorization, waiting for them to exterminate Zhang Yuan, Li Yuanhao, and Luochuan Ganquan's encirclement and suppression of the official army, and then turn back to clean up-" Suddenly felt that his tone was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Come to deal with our officers and soldiers here." ”

Regarding the change in Daqing's tone, Zhou Ji was secretly happy in his heart, which was a good starting point.

"Do you know how the battle between Luochuan and Ganquan is? Do you know the battle situation between Deputy General Li Yuanhao and Lord Zhang Yuan? "This is what Zhou Ji is most concerned about, according to the agreement, he came here to ambush on the first day of the first month of March, according to the original general plan, that side should have been successful a long time ago, and the Guangwu thieves he faced should have been in a panic all day long, but why are he still so calm and idle with himself?

Seeing the nervous appearance of the two masters, Daqing replied with a smile: "Luochuan has long been annihilated by our commander, and the entire Luochuan is implementing a new policy for the king, and the Luochuan dog official has already ordered not to leave the city gate, if it weren't for the fact that our king is unwilling to bear the reputation of killing officials and rebelling, hum." ”

When he said this, Daqing involuntarily straightened his waist, and his tone was full of contempt for the government and pride in his own army.

"Hmph." Zhou Ji snorted coldly with a cold face. "It's just a clown jumping off the beam, the court can't take care of it for a while, if the heavenly soldiers arrive, where is his way to live?"

Zhou Ji's other words did not have any impact on Daqing, but a snort made Daqing stunned, and it took a long time to remember that he had betrayed the army, and had actually betrayed his brother, and he should no longer be proud of the victory of the army, it seemed that when he was brought to Zhou Ji by his father, he was no longer a part of the army.

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in my heart, a deep loss, and in this way, I left the group of energetic brothers, the king of Chuang, who always had a faint tired smile on his face, and the black, bold captain Guangwu, and the six acres of land that already belonged to him. Are you looking back?

Zhou Ji observed the words and looks, and immediately saw the change in Daqing's mind, and said with a kind smile: "Brother, thank you, for your father, for your family to earn twenty acres of the same good land as the gentry, just this information is worth it." ”

Daqing didn't hear it, his face was still distorted and struggling.

"At the same time, I will report your loyalty and patriotism to the emperor, ask the emperor for a special reward for you, and the emperor will be very happy to hear your lost deeds."

Emperor? This sound was like a huge hammer hitting Daqing's chest, making his blood boil all of a sudden, and he suddenly thought in his heart that the emperor was a saint, and he was forced to such a point that he was all those corrupt officials and cool officials, by the way, and didn't King Chuang also not kill officials? Is it to not provoke the emperor's wrath? Could it be that King Chuang also has the same thoughts as himself? Zhao'an.

Thinking of this, Daqing suddenly became cheerful, yes, King Chuang must think the same way, but what King Chuang did was for the people, and these actions have not been known by the emperor, they have been concealed by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I just took a step earlier than King Chuang, and I was recruited earlier.

Thinking of this, Daqing suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Ji with deep sincerity.

Zhou Ji saw it and felt it, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this kid is really attached to the court at this time.

I just promised him, should I just do it? Even if it violates the laws of the imperial court, it must be realized? At this time, Zhou Ji actually thought of this.

"Xiaomin still has a relationship, please approve the lord." Daqing lay on the ground and said in fear.

"Say, if I can do it, I will do it for you."

"My king is also helpless, so he took us people who can't survive, but my king is definitely not a rebellion, it's really not a rebellion, or why don't you kill the court officials? I just want the emperor and his old man to know that the misery of our small people can't reach the heavens, so I have come to this point, and the little one asks the eldest lord to tell the emperor about our misery and the king's hard work when he sees the emperor, okay? When he said this, Daqing raised his head with soil on his forehead and looked at Zhou Ji with eager anticipation.

What an unpretentious child, what a childish idea? This is what Zhou Ji thinks with a wry smile in his heart now.

I still see the emperor, not to mention my unpopular little Qipin county order, that is, the prefect will never have the opportunity to see the emperor in his life, a piece of music can make the emperor take a look, and the three words "know" are already infinite grace, let alone meet me, even if I have no right to go up.

"Master, as long as you give us the people when you meet the emperor and tell us King Chuang, I will take you to the base area to see King Chuang, let you see the impotence of our King Chuang, and let the emperor know that our King Chuang is really loyal to the king and loves the people."

Hearing this, Zhou Ji's eyes lit up, and he nodded pretending to be reserved: "Okay, I will listen to your suffering, the thief, ah no, the hard work of the king." ”

Daqing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that he had done the most difficult and biggest thing for King Chuang, and he kowtowed to Zhou Ji again at that time.

"Still." Zhou Ji changed his words and said in embarrassment: "But your Guangwu doesn't understand your King Chuang's hard work, you take me to see your King Chuang, he must not agree, how should this be?" ”

"Master, you are right, Captain Guangwu has been thinking about how to go against the officers and soldiers all day long, especially his younger brother in the battle of Yanchuan Breakout, because he wanted to retreat, he was beheaded on the spot by himself, so he recorded this on the officers and soldiers, and he will definitely not let go of the officers and soldiers easily." Daqing continued. "However, as long as the emperor can know about our affairs, I will have a way to take the eldest master into Chenjiabao."
