On this day, the lanterns of Chen Mansion were first released, and the concierge department came to meet the birthday star and offer gifts, just singing: "Chen Lao's nephew, Liu Shi of Zhuo County, Youzhou, came to visit." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Shi was dressed neatly today, heard the roll call, held a red treasure jade, engraved with a fairy ape offering a longevity peach, extremely exquisite, meaning auspicious, and walked up.

When Si Li saw it, he sang loudly: "The immortal ape offers a longevity peach, which is priceless!" There was a commotion.

At this moment, I heard a shout from outside the door, "The poor villagers have rebelled and attacked the city, run!" ”

Chen Guang, who was sitting in the middle and wearing a big red robe, quickly stood up and shouted out, "Butler!" Send someone to inquire, what's going on? ”

Then he said to the relatives and friends below: "Quiet for a while, you will know the details in a while." ”

At this moment, the butler who had just run out hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Master! Oh no! The villagers have rebelled and are surrounding Fan County, and many big families in the city are preparing carriages to flee elsewhere? Master! What are we going to do? ”

As soon as Chen Guang heard that the old man was not good, he wanted to have a seizure, but when he heard that it was really the poor villagers who rebelled, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly invited guests.

At this time, the guests who came heard that it was really the poor people who rebelled, how could they still stay, and they left one after another, and some left without even making a move.

The housekeeper looked at Chen Guang in trepidation and whispered, "Master! What are we going to do? Do you also organize some family wealth and go out with them? I heard that many rich people or big families are ready to go to Luoyang? ”

Chen Guang waved his hand and said, "Where can we go?" Those descendants were still here just now, and now they don't want to fight any of them and leave, I'm afraid they are also preparing to flee after hearing the news! We had to resign ourselves to fate. After saying that, he sat on the ground.

At this moment, another person who looked like a housekeeper walked in, came to Chen Guang's side, and said, "Fifth master! Our eldest lord just spoke, the eldest lord, the second lord, and the third lord are ready to travel, and they will go to Luoyang to deal with some family affairs, and this Fan County will be left to the fifth master to take care of. After speaking, without waiting for Chen Guang to reply, he hurriedly walked away.

When Chen Guang heard this, his body was short, and he saw that the housekeeper was still standing there, and said in a low voice: "You also saw it just now, the three of them said that they were going to Luoyang to deal with some family affairs, what is there that needs to be dealt with by the three of them at this juncture?" It's not like it's a nice thing to say.

We people have been left behind by them, what else is there to say, you can go outside and have a look! Ask the government how to deal with it, how many villagers have rebelled. This Fan County has always been a strong city, and it is not so easy for the villagers to conquer. I'll tell you when you've got it right. Go ahead! Be careful yourself! ”

After the housekeeper left, Liu Shi stepped forward and saluted Chen Guang and said, "Uncle, don't worry, there are really thieves coming in, and my nephew is protecting my uncle and escaping from the county." ”

Chen Guang only then noticed that Liu Shi and Liu Zhen were still standing there, and hurriedly said, "Nephew! When is it, still talking about those children, you are still in a hurry to escape now, you don't have to accompany your uncle here! Your uncle has spent his whole life in Fan County, and all the family property is also in Fan County, where can he escape?

Besides, the rebellion of the villagers did not know if it happened only in Fan County or in all parts of the Han Dynasty. If there was a rebellion in the Han Dynasty, where would we flee to? In the past few years, I heard that there have been rebellions in various places, but the court does not deal with some corrupt officials at all, only knows how to suppress the people, natural disasters continue, there are no harvests everywhere, and the common people have nothing to eat, those corrupt officials still collect taxes, forcing the people to sell their sons and daughters, and sell and buy fertile land, and if this continues, the rebellion of the whole Han Dynasty is inevitable.

It was the officials who hated it, but the officials said that they were the middle attendants. I don't know what happened to this Han Dynasty? Flee first! Whether you can escape can only depend on your personal fate, it was your uncle who harmed you, and I am sorry for your parents. Let's go! ”

Liu Shi said: "Really, uncle, you don't have to worry, if these thieves come in, my true brother and I will escort you to escape to Youzhou, and it is safe to come to us." Don't look at my young age, I've been practicing martial arts for seven or eight years. In my hometown of Zhuo County, my eldest brother said that I was good at martial arts? Say he's no match for me in two years! ”

Chen Guangdao: "I know that my nephew is a martial artist, but this is a rebellion of the villagers, not a child's play, this can be a loss of heads!" It's better for your nephew to leave early, and when I go back, I will say hello to your parents, and say that my uncle is not good, and he almost put you in a desperate situation. Let them forgive me! Let's go! I won't send you away. Come! Send the little master back to Youzhou! ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "How can I watch my uncle fall into the hands of thieves? Besides, really! I've also been through battles, and I've killed bandits with my own hands, and I've fought against bandits with my eldest brother? This true brother can testify. ”

Chen Guangdao: "The thieves you have there are only three or five hairy thieves!" There are thousands of villagers here who have rebelled, and these people are all red-eyed, and they will never let us go. You'd better go! Say no more. ”

Liu Shidao: "There are four or five hundred bandits we have recruited, and they have been living in Zhuo County for four or five years, and even the county government has dispatched officers and soldiers to recruit and suppress several times, but they have been defeated by the bandits. My eldest brother took a few of us and the hundreds of villagers who had served as pawns, and set aside the bandits' lair without any damage, and the bandits were killed or captured without leaking? ”

When Chen Guang heard this, his spirits perked, "Really! ”

Liu Shidao: "Of course it's true, my eldest brother was a thief in Zhuoxian County at that time, in charge of cracking down on mountain bandits and thieves. At that time, he was worried that there were the eyes and ears of the mountain bandits in the county, so he did not use the bandits, but secretly recruited hundreds of villagers with combat experience, traveled on the mountain bandits, secretly went up the mountain to attack the mountain bandits' lair, and then ambushed the mountain bandits who returned to the village, and wiped them all in one fell swoop. ”

"Your big brother is really amazing!" Chen Guangdao.

Liu Shi said: "Of course! My eldest brother was a disciple of Dr. Lu and studied under Master Zheng. Did I study with Master Zheng last year or was it recommended by my eldest brother? ”

"But your eldest brother is your eldest brother, you are you." Chen Guang wondered.

Liu Shidao: "Although I can't be like my eldest brother, give advice and annihilate the villagers, but it is still possible to charge into battle and protect my uncle from the city." After this year of practice, my martial arts have improved compared to the year before? It's not that I'm talking big, my eldest brother's martial arts are no match for him in Zhuo County except for that black charcoal head. But I'm confident that now I'm definitely better than my big brother than my big brother. It's not worse than the black charcoal. Liu Shi said confidently.

"Really! What guns do you use? Chen Guang said with a strange gaze.

Liu Shi said with a slight shame on his face: "What I am using now is still a spear built last year, only more than forty catties, if my uncle can help me find a good craftsman in Fan County and rebuild one, the effect will be better." ”

When Chen Guang heard this, he was surprised! I thought it would be good for this nephew to be able to use a weapon of twenty or thirty catties, but when I heard it, it seemed that he could use a spear of more than forty catties last year, but now it seems that it doesn't cost more than fifty catties? This is divine power! It is said that Xiang Yu of the previous dynasty only used a spear of nearly 100 catties? My nephew is only fifteen years old? This strength still has a long time! ”

Hurriedly rejoiced: "Okay! Good! Uncle doesn't have other abilities, this good craftsman happens to know one, but he is a famous good craftsman in our Fan County and even Dong County? I will make you a good spear out of the best iron. He burst out laughing.

Liu Shi was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then the nephew will thank my uncle, but this weight may be more than sixty catties, more than seventy catties!" The cost of building the iron used is paid by the nephew, and the nephew still has some money in his hand. ”

Chen Guang's eyes glared and said, "In this Fan County, are you still afraid that your uncle can't afford to pay for a spear?" If you mention my uncle again, I will be angry. Besides, it was your uncle's birthday that made you fall in! I still ask your parents to forgive me for this? ”

At this time, the housekeeper ran in and said, "The government has organized officers and soldiers to guard the city wall, and now that a curfew has been implemented in the city, the villagers are being recruited to prepare for coordinated defense?" It is said that the villagers who rebelled were all followers of the great sage and good teacher, and they did not attack the city, saying that they were waiting for the orders of some general and canal master. ”
