The night is hazy, the stars in the sky are dotted, it is rare to have a peaceful and quiet quiet, but in this peaceful dark corner, there are many murderous opportunities, several county soldiers support the beaten ruffians, quietly gather in a corner, and the beaten ruffians take the lead in speaking:

"Brothers, you have also seen it, originally we were sent by the county lieutenant, and this escort mission itself is here to find fault and make stumbling! Unexpectedly, this dog official actually started first, today it is the eldest brother and me, and tomorrow it may be you who will be beaten! The county lieutenant had an explanation before leaving, if they let them safely and steadily transport the grain and grass to Ezhou, not to mention me waiting for a few, even the old and young in the family will not be able to protect it! Brothers, let's talk about it, are we going to sit back or fight to the death? ”

"Brother Ergou, I see that Daniel Zhang and the county order are really going to kill people to the death, they must be ruthless masters, I and other relatives are in their hands, we have no way back!" You are the eldest brother of my brothers, you can do whatever you say! ”

Another county official continued:

"Yes, Brother Ergou, I knew from the beginning that this errand would not be easy, one hundred taels of silver per person, it is definitely not easy to earn, to say that it is not difficult to make a trip, the difficult thing is that there are too many dog officials surnamed Zhang, and they are all strong men with brute strength, and our brothers are too few! Hard fighting, you must not be able to beat! ”

This is a skinny county magistrate Ding said:

"Who's to say it isn't? This gang of sons is not only burly and strong, but also prohibited, the implementation of this military order is simply not recognized, I according to the request of the second dog brother, take out the silver money and quietly bribe the family who guards the grain and grass, fuck, these people don't care about the white silver, and the two eyes are staring at me like wolves, brother, I have also seen the Great Internal Forbidden Army, and those who are invincible in the Great Internal Forbidden Army do not have this momentum! ”

A county soldier who looked at the slightly older grade said:

"Stupid, are you scared by the little family member surnamed Zhang? With a clear knife and a clear gun, we are naturally not the opponent of the dog official, but the tiger also has a nap......."

Liu Ergou listened to the chatter of several soldiers under him, and he didn't know that this errand was difficult! Not to mention anything else, this Ding escort grain and grass seems simple, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the top scouts go out twenty miles to explore the road, and there are a few three-person teams behind the road. His ten brothers, three or four feet from the front and back, are walking back and forth in the morning and evening, there are a few family members at any time, seemingly inadvertently standing at an important fork in the road to rest, in fact, looking around vigilantly, Liu Ergou believes that once he moves, his own few people have no hope of escaping at all! Now there is only the danger of soldiers, and he has taken out his housekeeping skills, Liu Ergou said to everyone with a gloomy face:

"Okay, brothers are quiet, this time we have encountered a hard stubble, today we are just to test the dog official, so we deliberately violated his military regulations, this dog official is not easy to fool, but, through this incident, it can also be seen that this dog official is still afraid of the county lord, although this dog official is not convinced by the county respect, but his family is in Yangzhou, this dog official surnamed Zhang does not want to completely fight with the county official, so the dog official surnamed Zhang is not too ruthless, otherwise I will not be able to walk today, big brother!"

Liu Ergou looked at everyone and listened attentively, rubbed the hot buttocks that were beaten, and continued:

"If you want to talk about the way to deal with them, there is a ready-made one now, as long as it succeeds, this dog official will not be the emperor after speaking, it is very likely that he will die directly in Jiuquan, and our brothers will continue to go back and live a happy life! There is a Erwang Mountain fifty miles in front of this place, the master of the mountain was originally the Jiangyang thief Flying Leopard at the boundary of Yangzhou, and now it gathers in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, and there are more than 600 brothers under his hands, robbing the house, even the local government is very afraid, and the territory of the Flying Leopard is getting bigger and bigger for many years. When the Flying Leopard was still mixed in Yangzhou, he killed a relative of an important minister in the court during the robbery, so that the court was furious and sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Flying Leopard, the Flying Leopard was betrayed by the inner ghost, and was arrested. ”

After Liu Ergou finished speaking, he paused and seemed to think of something again, and then said:

"Now the eldest brother I want to send a shrewd brother, with my letter, to contact the flying leopard in advance, he sees the letter, will definitely come to help, even if this flying leopard does not remember my kindness to let him go, with so much grain and grass, such a big piece of fat, if he is not tempted, then he is not a flying leopard!"

A soldier said: "Brother Ergou, the dog officer is watching us very tightly, how can he let us out?" Those family members, their eyes have never left us, if they want to act alone, there is a chance that the dog official surnamed Zhang will not agree. ”

Liu Ergou snorted coldly and said:

"Since the county lieutenant dares to ask us Liu Ergou to come out to do things, if we don't have any ability, will the county lieutenant use us? Before coming, we all asked for the county's token and letter, obviously to visit the former Luzhou Mansion classmates for the county, and deliver the letter on behalf of the county, the county's seal is not fake, as long as this dog official has not planned to completely turn his face with the county, we don't believe that this dog official dares not to let us send someone out to deliver the letter! ”

After Liu Ergou finished speaking, a group of county soldiers seemed to suddenly realize, and they clapped their ass:

"Brother Ergou is simply Sai Zhuge ah! If you can really call 600 mountain bandits as helpers, this dog official is only a hundred family members, and it is not easy to solve it by chopping melons and vegetables, brother will not be long after, our brother can go home to eat, drink and have fun, and be a free fairy to enjoy the blessings, or the second dog brother is amazing! ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Ergou is steady and far-sighted, which is the blessing of my brothers, and you can't be wrong with Brother Ergou!"

Liu Ergou looked at the tent in the distance fiercely, not knowing what he was thinking about in his heart.

In a sackcloth tent, Zhang Xian was talking to Jiang Wei, the deputy captain of the Hejiading team, in the tent:

"Vice Captain Jiang, things have been busy lately, but this official still wants to find time to talk to you. Come on, come on, this bowl of noodles was specially cooked for you by the official asked the scholar Zhang Fan! See how it tastes? ”

Jiang Wei was patrolling around at night and was about to eat, when he heard that the adults were looking for him, he hurriedly ran over. When I heard the adults say that I personally arranged to cook noodles for myself, my heart was moved, and I ate the noodles as soon as I picked them up, and said while eating:

"My subordinates are so blessed, hehe, my lord is too polite, ah! There are two pieces of beef at the bottom of the bowl? Didn't anyone add meat tonight? Could it be that the adults think that their subordinates have behaved well recently, and they have specially rewarded them? Mmmm, don't say it, it's delicious, fragrant! ”

Zhang Xian smiled and said:

"Deputy Captain Jiang Wei, you have been doing very well recently, inspecting the grain and grass, and arranging the manpower to be done in an orderly manner, this official is very relieved. Today is your twenty-fifth birthday, in this wilderness, there is not even a glass of water and wine, and the official can only cook a bowl of longevity noodles for you, add two pieces of beef, to celebrate your birthday! ”

After Jiang Wei listened, his noodle-eating hands suddenly stiffened, the mist in his eyes became foggy, and there was clearly a circle of tears about to fall, but Jiang Wei smiled and only said one sentence:

"Jiang Wei is used to being rude in this life, his subordinates have forgotten it, today is my birthday, except for the old lady in the family, no one has ever remembered the birthday of his subordinates, this kindness of adults, Jiang Wei knows it in his heart!"

Zhang Xian smiled lightly and said, "Deputy Captain Jiang eats first, eats first, after eating, there are still some things that the official wants to ask?" ”

Jiang Wei was not polite, and after three times and five divided by two, he finished eating this bowl of affectionate longevity noodles, and said, "My lord doesn't know what's going on, just ask." ”

Zhang Xian glanced at Jiang Wei and said: "The birthday star is in such a hurry to eat noodles, let's get to the point, the official wants to know, the official explained your affairs before, I don't know how you did it?" ”

Jiang Wei clasped his hands into fists and said:

"Back to the adult's words, the thing that the adult explained was that the family members had killed people for the first time before saving the king and restoring the sect, and the adults were worried that the family members were not suitable for killing and blood, and asked their subordinates to help them adapt. In fact, if you want to say that human life in this troubled world is like a mustard, many people have long seen blood and killing, or mountain bandits killing, or Tartar killing, or officers and soldiers killing, in short, I am a fish and meat man, most people are not surprised, and even some relatives in the family were killed, and they still think that they want to take revenge, it is really their turn to have the opportunity to kill, many people actually do not have much guilt. There seem to be only a few people in all the families, it is estimated that they have not encountered blood and killing before, and when they return to the barracks of the family and vomit and have nightmares, their subordinates follow the methods of adults, let these people kill pigs and slaughter them every day, and they have seen a lot of blood, and they have adapted to it. ”

Zhang Xian nodded, at first he was worried that this gang of people would kill people, and they would not have seen blood and human lives like the recruits of later generations, and there would be a lot of overreactions, but I didn't expect that in the troubled times, such things were relatively rare, perhaps, life and death were used to it, and they were used to it, Zhang Xian opened his mouth and said:

"Vice Captain Jiang, as long as everyone can adapt. Now you two deputy captains, you must assist Niu Dameng to pay attention to the ten county soldiers, these people, it is a matter of time before you make trouble and find fault, just do it yourself according to the practiced method, be careful that the county soldiers jump over the wall in a hurry, you yourself must also pay attention to safety, Shou Xinggong, you should also go back to rest early. ”

After Jiang Wei received the order, he made a gesture, and was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Zhang Xian, only to see Zhang Xian staring at Jiang Wei's feet, Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed, it turned out that Jiang Wei's shoes, which could not withstand the long journey, had already opened a big hole, and the toes were drilled out, Zhang Xian opened his package, took out a new pair of shoes and handed them to Jiang Wei, and said:

"Count you blessed, the official sees that the size of our feet is about the same, these are shoes made by the official's wife, and the official hasn't worn them once! Take it and wear it! ”

Jiang Wei's eyes were red, and he was about to postpone it, when he saw Zhang Xian's eyes sweeping over, as if he was about to be angry, he quickly took his shoes, his eyes were red, he turned around and ran out.......
