Chapter 131: There is an end on the road, and I wish to go to the Lord
Zhu Da and his group did not run wildly, the people and horses were trotting forward, but the people behind did not dare to move, and soon opened the distance, but Zhu Da and the others did not delay too long in the crop field, and after going around in a circle, they still got on the road.
Because of the blockage set up by the Zhuangzi in front, there were a lot fewer people on this road, but it soon became a little crowded, because the people on the main road and the small road were gathering towards the official road, and the refugees and people now have a goal, to go to Huairen County.
When I walked here, the city of Huairen County was already in sight, and I have to say that the city fortress built by the state government looked much thicker and taller, and it gave people a sense of security more than the earthen fence in the countryside.
Unlike the passers-by and refugees on the road before, the closer they are to the county seat, there are a lot more relatively glamorous characters and teams riding horses and cars, and Zhu Da and them are not so conspicuous, and before, it was rare to be able to push a wheelbarrow, let alone a horseback basket.
"Is this fleeing or moving, one by one." Zhou Qingyun sneered.
In addition to the brilliance of these teams on horseback and carriage, there is also a bit of posstry, the courtyard and the subordinates from time to time scolding others to stay away, they have to shout at each other to fight, it is indeed not like fleeing, compared to the panicked crowd encountered before, it is really heaven and earth.
Zhu Da saw more information from these people, he was silent for a moment and said: "If the Tartars in this vicinity and the ones we see come and go like the wind, there will be no way to escape so many people, let alone let these old fortunes have the opportunity to pack up their family property and hurry calmly, I am afraid that the Tartars are not serious here at all, and they will leave in a circle." ”
Zhou Qingyun on the side hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it convenient to get close to the city?" ”
"As long as they don't have the opportunity to raid, it is impossible for the light cavalry to take the city, and if it is delayed for a long time, there will be variables, what if the Tartar horse team can't go? What if those thieves show their stuff? Whatever is exposed is not good for the main messengers, so they must be quick and will not touch the slightest trouble or delay. ”
Listening to Zhu Da's deep voice, Zhou Qingyun didn't respond for a long time, and walked forward for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you deserve our bad luck?" ”
"Between Datong City and Huairen County, our side is the best terrain to start." Zhu Da did not answer the question.
The official road is not wide, and the people, vehicles and horses are mixed, crowded and difficult to walk, Zhu Da and they have already judged that the situation will be safe next, so they are not in a hurry, they walk very slowly, when chatting, if others want to squeeze forward, they will also take the initiative to avoid it, but no one thinks they are easy to bully, and the two young men are equipped with knives and bows, and they can't afford to offend.
Walking slowly is also to give Li He time to rest, when the distance is just opened, the horses trot, people have to run fast, thanks to Li He is well fed, and his physical strength can keep up, even so, he is panting and sweating profusely.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were talking on the horse, Li He heard it vaguely when he lowered his voice, and the others heard it clearly, and he didn't want to interject, but he still couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Zheng Jiaji's mess is in vain, and there will be relief and resettlement in a few days?" ”
After Zhengjiaji was destroyed, the inside and outside had completely lost order, and the remaining people were lawless and lawless on the ruins, because most of the survivors felt that the world was in chaos, and if it was destroyed here, it would also be destroyed outside, and they lost hope and were naturally unscrupulous.
But the rebels who abandoned their humanity could not have imagined that the surging Mongol cavalry would leave quickly and not remain in the area for long, which is why this matter is cruel.
Li He didn't expect anyone to give him an answer when he said this, he sighed angrily, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were also silent, at least there were still many people in Zheng Jiaji who survived, but there were only a few of them in Baibao Village......
While he was talking, Qin Qin, who was in the basket, suddenly spoke: "There are two people who have been following us, from the time when they were killing people on the detour. ”
The girl was very calm when she said this, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both turned their heads, and Li He, who was standing below, opened his mouth wide, he was very familiar with Qin Qin, but he didn't expect that a girl in her early tens, who was still a daughter from a scholarly family, could say "killing" so calmly, and she was so calm after experiencing such a scene just now.
Zhu Da put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and Zhou Qingyun pulled out the arrow, but Zhu Da turned back again, not pretending to be calm, but if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to let Qin Qin observe and describe.
The girl's ability to observe and remember is very good, from the beginning of entering the basket, except for the most critical and dangerous moments, Qin Qin is lying there to observe, maybe she is just relieving her fear and boredom.
One was in his teens, the other was in his early twenties, and his clothes were all peasant cloth coats, with a lot of patches, and he was of ordinary appearance, the young man was tall and thin, obviously a little taller than the others, and the early twenties were stocky and stocky, and the young man was armed with a sharpened and blackened wooden gun, and the stocky man had an axe pinned to his waist.
When Qin Qin described the physical characteristics of the two people, Zhu Da turned around again, and the three of them could find the two people in the crowd.
Don't talk about Li He, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were on the horse, and they saw it very clearly from a high position, but the two of them didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, they kept looking left and right, and when they saw Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, they immediately ran to this side.
"It's just these two people, don't you see any accomplices, Qin Qin, are there any people who came with us in the crop field?"
"No, that's all."
This made Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun relax their vigilance, but the vigilance was still there, but they took the horses to the side of the road to avoid the crowded crowd on the road, Li He wanted to follow, Zhu Da shook his head, Li He immediately understood, and began to hide in the crowd pretending to be nothing, and even shrank deliberately.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and the two people who came over are not shy about anything, and Zhu Da can also see the sweat and panting on their faces, and he has been running when he wants to come with him, otherwise he will be thrown away.
Zhou Qingyun changed his posture on the horse, the arrow was already on the bowstring, and Zhu Da turned his head to observe, he wanted to determine where to fight and where to run, at this time, there were so many people on the road, killing people in broad daylight would have consequences, because the next step was not the era of lawlessness, and it would be bound by rules and royal law.
Zhu Da glanced at Li He, Li He's performance on the way made Zhu Da very amazed, Li He is not brave, but he can always make the most appropriate choice at every critical moment, for example, at this time, Li He's location is hidden in the crowd, but he can come out to help at any time, of course, if the situation is not right, he can also leave at any time.
People of this age are normal to be smart and hot-blooded, but it is very rare to do things in such a measured way and know how to judge the situation, when he was in Baibao Village, Zhu Da didn't feel how good Li He was, but in the past few years after going to Zheng Jiaji, he has actually been able to grow to this extent, maybe it's talent, maybe it's injury that has changed him.
All kinds of thoughts flashed by, at this juncture, it was important to concentrate on the person in front of him, although Fang Cai himself saved them, but when he left, the relationship with each other was not very good, and Zhu Da was ready to fight.
The two people who rushed over didn't seem to want to be in the crowded place on the official road, and deliberately went around to the fields on the side of the road, which made Zhu Da and them even more vigilant, seeing that there were not a few steps, and when they were about to draw their knives and move, they saw that the two people who came over threw away their belongings and knelt directly in front of the horse.
"My name is Li Degui!" The stocky man said in a muffled voice.
"My name is Zhang Jinbei!" The young man followed.
"The little one is willing to follow the two good men and serve the cows and horses!"
"Please take in the little one two masters, the little one must be loyal to work, if there is a lie, then there will be five thunderstorms in the sky and I will be crushed to pieces!"
Li Degui and Zhang Jinbei almost rushed to say it, and after saying it, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were stunned, but they didn't have to worry about what tricks these two people were playing in front of them.
Kneeling on the ground to take refuge in slavery, this scene seems a little fresh on the official road where everyone is hurrying, and many people see the lively nature attack, and there is a small circle around it soon.
Before Zhu Da could speak, Li He, who was hiding in the crowd, came out, took the short knife in his hand and drove away: "Look at what, disperse quickly, wait for my master to attack, but you are good-looking." ”
Although everyone is reluctant, this short knife is still recognized, not to mention that Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's armament is very intimidating, in such a chaotic situation, watching the excitement is still more important than not surviving, everyone reluctantly dispersed, Li He didn't come over to pretend to be the third master, and continued to drive people away with a knife.
Zhu Da knows very well that he is not a hero, and he does not have the domineering spirit of making people kneel down with a shock to his body, not to mention that there is no room to contain others now, two more people will be two more burdens, even if Li He is the same, but he has the position of having to take it in.
Speaking of which, the two people in front of him are older than himself and Zhou Qingyun, but this move is very child's play, Zhu Da quickly denied his idea, this kind of behavior in this era is tantamount to entrusting the rest of his life to others, without great determination or choice, he will not make it easily.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Da said slowly: "Let's meet in Pingshui, I don't remember who you are, you have to take refuge like this, isn't it too reckless, we are also refugees who have fled, and it is no good to take refuge in us." ”
"Good man, we don't want any benefits, this troubled world, follow you to live, follow the old man is not afraid of being wronged!" The stocky man replied loudly, and the tall and thin young man was a little anxious because he had been robbed, so he only nodded desperately there.
