Chapter 420: Pick up a follower

Seeing that Zhong Hao had saved the lives of his brothers, the black bull Du Yong couldn't care about the severe pain in his leg at the moment, so he knelt down and said loudly: "I hereby thank Gongzi for saving the brothers!" From now on, our brothers are willing to go to the soup for the son and never give up, and in the future, our lives will be the son's, and the son wants our lives, and we can take them away at any time! ”

Zhong Hao listened to the words of the black bull Du Yong, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Hehe, I spent a lot of money to buy your life, but I can't let you lose your life easily, wouldn't that be a waste of my silver?!" ”

Immediately, Zhong Hao continued: "Black Bull, hurry up." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoGo talk to your brothers and tell them not to be bandits in the future. Well, even if there is a wanted warrant in the government, it is estimated that it is only wanted for you bandit leaders, and no one cares about your little minions, so let them go back to their hometowns. As long as you are willing to work hard in the Great Song Dynasty, you can probably eat with a mouthful of food. Either way, it's better than being a bandit! As you can see, this bandit is not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you will end up with your head separated! ”

Black Bull Du Yong listened to Zhong Hao's words and hurriedly said: "I, Black Bull, I'm going to tell them!" The risk of being a bandit is so great, it is estimated that they will not dare to be a bandit again, so I will let them all go back to their hometown and be a good man! ”

After speaking, the black bull Du Yong gritted his teeth and got up, limped to the thieves who were sitting on the road, and told them about it.

Those bandits who were tied to the side were originally dead in their eyes, and they were already lifeless, after all, they all knew what happened if the bandit was caught, it was basically a death, but at this time, after listening to the words of the black bull Du Yong, the thieves couldn't help but immediately shine.

Then I didn't know what the black bull Du Yong told them, but I saw that those bandits all nodded with tears in their eyes. Immediately, a group of thieves who were injured supported each other, kowtowed to Zhong Hao together, and went to the mountain together.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the regiment training in the stone shed village all watched silently, and did not stop them, allowing those bandits to leave. They had already received the bounty, so naturally they had little interest in these bandits.

When the thieves were gone, it was already completely dark, Cui Wu ordered the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone shed to get on their horses, and at the same time beckoned the convoy to open the way, and everyone rushed to Qingfeng Town.

………………

When Zhong Hao was talking to the black bull Du Yong just now, Xu Feng had been in the carriage, just watching from a distance, and did not step forward to speak.

Seeing Zhong Hao getting into the car at this time, Xu Feng smiled and said: "I didn't expect Wen Xuan to be very kind-hearted, third brother, I just gave the money to prevent those regimental training villagers who unloaded stones and shacks from cutting off the heads of these dead bandits, Wen Xuan, you really saved more than ten lives!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "I'm not trying to recruit a brave family, what kind of house is kind." If you want to say that the house is benevolent, the third brother is the house heart! ”

Xu Feng listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, that third brother, I just can't see the bloody scene, what kind of house is kind?!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled and said: "Hehe, no matter what, the third brother also let those dead thieves save the whole body, which can be regarded as a great merit!" ”

Xu Feng said with a smile: "Then Wenxuan, you are even more meritorious, the third brother just let those dead thieves save the whole corpse, but you saved the lives of more than a dozen thieves!" ”

Zhong Hao touched his nose and said with a smile: "Third brother, we have been talking for a long time, and it seems that we have always praised each other." Hehe, how do I feel that this mutual praise can also be seen as boasting! ”

Xu Feng listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it seems that we are indeed boasting." ”

………………

Encountering the delay of the bandits on the road, when Zhong Hao and his party arrived in Qingfeng Town, it was almost the beginning of the year.

Fortunately, there is also a post station in Qingfeng Town, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are both officials, and they both have a survey brand on their bodies, or the kind of big survey sign that can stay in the post station with their family members and servants, so they can naturally stay in the post station. Otherwise, Zhong Hao and his group of nearly thirty people are so late, and it will take a lot of trouble to find an inn that can accommodate so many people.

The post man of Qingfeng Town Post Station is named Ren Qing, and when he saw that Zhong Hao and Xu Feng were both Jinshi civil officials, he was naturally very enthusiastic about their reception, and beckoned those post guards to help Zhong Hao and his party arrange accommodation.

After Zhong Hao and the others settled down, they quickly gave Ren Qing a meal to the post guards and their group.

Although Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are both officials, and they are eligible to eat and live in the post station for free, Zhong Hao still politely stepped forward for the two post guards who brought food and a silver ingot of five taels each.

Zhong Hao was so generous, which naturally made the two post guards very happy, and soon sent Zhong Hao and them a few more dishes. Although it is true that the officials and their families eat and live in the post house for free, the conditions for this free accommodation and meals are also good and bad. The post guards of this post station are also people, so naturally it is inevitable to watch people put down dishes.

In fact, Zhong Hao didn't just want to make the food and lodging arranged for him by this post man better, after all, they ate and stayed in Qingfeng Town for one night, but in fact, they didn't have so many requirements for this food and lodging. The reason why Zhong Hao casually rewarded these two post guards with five taels of silver was mainly to ask them to help invite a Langzhong.

This black bull Du Yong's thigh was pierced by the crossbow arrow of the hand crossbow, and there were more than a dozen blood holes on his body that were poked out by Cui Wu with a bamboo gun! On the way to Qingfeng Town, he just simply bazaled by himself. If Lang Zhong is not allowed to diagnose and treat it, and if he is bandaged with medicine, Zhong Hao feels that this Du Yong is afraid that he will not be able to hold it, and maybe this leg will be wasted.

Zhong Hao finally accepted a family member, but he didn't want him to be crippled, so his role would be gone! After waiting for the two post guards from Qingfeng Town Post Station to bring the food, Zhong Hao asked them to help find a Lang Zhong in the town to help Du Yong diagnose and treat the wound.

Not only did Du Yong need to be diagnosed and treated, but Cui Wu also led several of the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds, and several of them were injured, although they were not seriously injured, but they also needed to let Lang Zhong come to the medicine to bandage them. In this era, this wound must be treated with care, if you are not careful, it is easy to get infected, and once infected, it is easy to die. In this era, many people lose their lives because they don't care about minor injuries!

Zhong Hao thought it was so late, I'm afraid it's not very good to invite this Langzhong! Unexpectedly, the two post guards of Qingfeng Town Post Station took Zhong Hao's reward, but they were very attentive to doing things, Zhong Hao and they had just finished eating, and the two post guards of Qingfeng Town Post Station invited Lang Zhong here.

Na Langzhong listened to the words of the two post guards, and knew that Zhong Hao's entourage had been wounded by swords and arrows, so after he came, he gave Du Yong and them gold sore medicine very quickly and bandaged them. Du Yong's luck was not bad, although the crossbow arrow pierced his thigh, but it did not hurt the tendons and bones, so the injury was not too serious. As for the injured regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds, they were all skin injuries, and they were fine after being bandaged.

In fact, in this era, if under normal circumstances, this Lang Zhong encountered this kind of knife wound and arrow wound, it is indispensable to ask a few more questions, after all, this is some special trauma, maybe these people who come to be treated are still some Jiangyang thieves or fugitives wanted by the imperial court. If you don't ask for medical treatment, the government will investigate it at that time, maybe it will be a trouble, don't let the government charge you with aiding bandits.

However, this post station is full of officials and their entourage, so naturally there is no such problem, so although these injuries are obviously from knife wounds and arrows, this Lang Zhong did not ask much.

………………

The morning sun dispelled the mist, and the earth ushered in a new day.

In the early morning in the cool mountains, the air is unusually humid and fresh, which makes people feel very comfortable. Zhong Hao and Cui Wu, who got up early, walked on the stone road of Qingfeng Town, chatting all the way from the post station of Qingfeng Town to the business district east of the town.

Qingfeng Town is surrounded by mountains, and a small river runs through it, adding a lot of agility to the town.

Although Qingfeng Town is a town, the scale of the town is actually quite large! The buildings in the town are lined up and scattered, the streets are crisscrossed, and the bluestone paved streets are lined with shops, even more prosperous than some small county towns! In the early morning, the streets of Qingfeng Town have been filled with cars and horses, pedestrians shuttling, and the sound of selling is endless, a busy scene.

There is a special business area in the east of Qingfeng Town, and the people of the entire Qingfeng Town around ten miles and eight villages will basically come here to buy all kinds of daily necessities, and will also come here to sell their mountain goods, furs, etc. In addition to the nearby mountain people who come here to trade, there are also many guilds who come here to sell their own goods or buy mountain treasures and other things.

The southwest of Qingzhou is surrounded by mountains, continuous mountains, and sparsely populated, but Qingfeng Town is a prosperous scene, not like a remote town at all!

Of course, there is a special reason why Qingfeng Town is so prosperous. When Zhong Hao came to the Great Song Dynasty, his first foothold was this Qingfeng Town, and he was still very familiar with Qingfeng Town, so he naturally knew the reason.

This is mainly because there are two ancient roads that were opened up in the pre-Tang Dynasty and meet here! Qingfeng Town is at the intersection of these two ancient roads, so it is very prosperous.

These two ancient roads that meet in Qingfeng Town, one is the Mansa Ancient Road. From Qingfeng Town to the south, the Mansa Ancient Road can pass through the mountains and lead to Linqu County, and to the north can lead to Linzi County, the ancient capital of Qi State. The other is the Ziqing Ancient Road. This Ziqing Ancient Road is even more famous, it is an important official road connecting Qingzhou and Zizhou, extending all the way to Qizhou, and it is also the main road in the east-west direction of Qilu.

Qingfeng Town is located at the intersection of these two ancient roads, and naturally becomes an important foothold for the supply and transit of goods merchants walking on these two ancient roads, so this Qingfeng Town will naturally become prosperous.

Zhong Hao suddenly remembered that when he was on Huangcheng Island, his master Zhang Zhen said that he wanted to come to the place where he crossed over from Qingliang Mountain, and he didn't know if he found the ingot-shaped boulder he said. In Zhong Hao's era, there was also an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty in the place where he crossed over, but now that ancient tomb has not been buried, I am afraid that the place he crossed over is not easy to find.

Zhong Hao told Zhang Zhen in detail about the location in his impression, but this Qingliang Mountain is continuous and horizontal, covering a wide area, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find that place only by relying on that ingot-shaped stone. Even if Zhong Hao goes back to look for it along the same road, he may not be able to find it.

In fact, when Zhong Hao was in Qingzhou before, he really had the idea of going back to that place to see, and he had always wanted to go to that place again to find out if there was a way to go back to his era. However, Zhong Hao felt that in this wilderness, it was difficult to find the place he had crossed over. And even if he finds it, in fact, Zhong Hao also knows in his heart that he is afraid that he will never be able to go back. After all, when he crossed over, he had already explored that place very clearly, and Zhong Hao never went back to that place to check. Zhong Hao felt that if he didn't look at it, he could still have a glimmer of hope in his heart, if he really checked it and got a disappointing result, there would be no hope at all.

However, Zhong Hao immediately thought about it, and felt that his master Zhang Zhen should be able to find the place he had crossed over. As for why Zhong Hao thinks so, because his master is a "half-immortal". His ancestor Fuyao son Chen Shu is a legendary immortal, and his master inherited his mantle, at least he can be regarded as a "half-immortal"!

………………

Qingfeng Town is very prosperous, this business area naturally sells more things, according to the two post men of Qingfeng Town Post Station, the east of Qingfeng Town, sometimes there are merchants to sell horses.

The reason why Zhong Hao got up early in the morning and went to the eastern business district was because he wanted to come here to buy a horse and ride his newly acquired black bull Du Yong. There were no horses on the way, and he couldn't make it.

Yesterday, Cui Wu asked a regimental training villager who unloaded the stone shed to give up a horse, and the regimental training township soldier went to ride with other regimental training villagers, and it was only seven or eight miles from where they met the cut path to Qingfeng Town, and the regimental training township soldier who rode with others was already very distressed.

Last night at the post station in Qingfeng Town, the regimental training township soldiers were afraid of tiring their beloved horses, so they really fed the war horse a small half bag of beans at night to supplement its loss, so they were relieved.

There are not too many war horses in this stone shed, only a few dozen, and the war horses are precious things in the Great Song Dynasty in these years, especially in the inland areas that are not along the border of Jingdong Road. These dozens of war horses are all valuable guys. These dozens of war horses, or the Cui family relied on their own strength, so they were poured into the stone shed!

Today, let the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone shed give up a horse, and let the black bull Du Yong ride, and the two of them trained the villagers to ride together, Zhong Hao felt that it was impossible. If the two of them ride together, this road of nearly 200 miles will be walked down, I am afraid that the regimental training villagers who let the horses unload the stone shed will be distressed to death, so Zhong Hao can only come to buy a horse for the black bull Du Yong.
