Chapter Seventy-Three: A First Exploration of Qi Lehou

More and more people gathered around, King Liang and Guanqing smiled, but the faces of the two guards instantly darkened, like the bottom of a pot, because as soon as the matter was big, they would not end well.

The two guards took two steps forward, drew their swords and pointed at the two of them, and said in a very angry tone, "Finally, say it again, can you go!?"

The two guards obviously showed their anger, and King Liang finally moved, only to see him hurriedly salute the two guards, and said, "Two military masters, I don't hide it, we are fleeing, and now we are forced to be helpless, just want to be able to eat in the city, you can do it, let us in."

As he spoke, King Liang pulled Guanqing to salute together, and his words were extremely sincere.

The two guards looked around, so many people watched, if they didn't let people go, I was afraid that Hou Ye would know that it would be difficult to escape the blame, so he had to nod and say with disdain, "Let's go, hurry up"

The two of them were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly entered the city, constantly saying thank you.

After the two left, the crowd here slowly dispersed, and the two guards cursed secretly, not paying much attention.

After entering the city, King Liang and Guanqing found a farmhouse courtyard and changed their clothes, because at this moment King Liang had vaguely smelled the pungent stench.

Although the name of this place is Yuzhou, there is no shortage of farmers, so it is easy for them to find them.

The head of the house here is an old man, and there is an old woman of half a hundred, who is very good, and also helped them prepare dinner, as for their son, it seems that he also joined the army, of course, these Liang kings just guessed, and did not ask much, because a farmer like them, the son either joined the army and died, or he was just eighteen years old and was requisitioned, rashly mentioned, unlucky.

The dinner prepared by the two old men was very simple, a few taro, a plate of self-pickled vegetables, and a few cornmeal steamed buns.

The old man was also very poor, which they saved by saving money for a month, but they happened to bump into the two of them today, so they didn't skimp and took it out directly.

King Liang understands that in today's world, it is already very good to be able to eat such cornmeal steamed buns, and there are pickled vegetables, which can be regarded as a rich and noble family

Ordinary people basically only eat bran vegetables, and starvation is very common.

King Liang had a full meal and began to call the two old men, "Uncle, are you a local?" ”

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his eye sockets were deep, he was hunched over, and he looked very thin, he nodded lightly, "Childe is right, my old couple has been here for many years"

King Liang was wearing men's clothes at this time, and the old man didn't see it, but his clothes were neat, and the old man still had the ability to see this, he was weathered, and his vision was naturally very unique.

King Liang asked again, "Uncle, it is said that there is a big family here, surnamed Liang, I don't know if you have heard of it."

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and stammered, "Childe... You said... But Qi Lehou"

The old man has lived here for many years, and he has been involved in many things in the city, and Liang is the surname of the country, and ordinary people do not dare to impersonate at all, only Qi Lehou's family, which is known to all the residents in the city.

King Liang nodded faintly

The old man's heart was shocked, and then he directly shut up, King Liang was dressed gorgeously, although he had guessed that they were from an extraordinary background, but he never expected that he had something to do with Qi Lehou, Qi Lehou was murderous, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, disaster came out of his mouth, he still understood this truth.

It's just that he still couldn't help asking, "Childe, do you know Master Hou?" ”

The old man thought in his heart, if this person had something to do with Qi Lehou, he had to get rid of it, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

Unexpectedly, King Liang shook his head and said with a smile, "Uncle, I know him, he doesn't know me"

Hearing this, the old man reacted and breathed a sigh of relief, and the old woman on the side slowly put down the hand on her chest.

It can be seen that King Liang's words just now scared them a lot

Because the residents talked about Hou Ye, it was a big crime to kill the head, and they couldn't afford it.

At this time, Guanqing helped the old man fill a glass of water from the table, wine is a rare thing, the old man has a very hard life, and there is no wine.

The old man let out a long breath, and at this time, King Liang seemed to realize that he was a little reckless just now, and said again, "Uncle, are you worried that I have something to do with Lord Hou?" ”

The old man and the old woman looked at him at the same time and nodded.

King Liang smiled, "Uncle, you are too worried, people are noble as the Hou Ye, how can we and other grass people climb high"

The two old men thought about it, they are right, they are the Hou Ye, and ordinary people really can't afford to climb it, plus now that the world is in the world, there is no emperor, the world is their biggest, how could the people who know the Hou Ye end up like this, they clearly remember the embarrassed appearance when they first saw the two of them.

The old man shook his head and smiled, "Childe, fortunately you explained in time, otherwise I would have to drive you away"

King Liang was a little surprised, and asked, "Uncle, why do you say that?"

In King Liang's opinion, the person who knows the Hou Ye must be a powerful person, and the two old men will definitely be favored by him if they stay here, and ordinary people can't wait for it, how can he drive him away?

The old man smiled bitterly, "It seems that you really don't know, this Qi Lehou ......"

"Ahem!"

The old man seemed to be about to continue, but at this moment the old woman who was sitting quietly on the side began to cough, interrupting the old man's next words, the old man looked at the old woman, seemed to realize something, lowered his head and took a sip of water, and did not say anything more.

King Liang frowned, and at the same time, Guanqing also looked at the old woman, who suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "It's cold, this body is useless, a few sons wait a minute, I'll go and bring a pot of fire to keep everyone warm."

After that, the old woman walked out of the hall and went to the kitchen, at this time, King Liang was about to ask the old man what he said next, but the old man waved his hand, as if he did not want to say more, King Liang had to shut up and did not ask again.

After a short time, the old woman bent over and walked in with a pot of charcoal, placed it at everyone's feet, and then smiled slightly and sat down beside the old man.

Next, King Liang intentionally or unintentionally avoided this topic, but asked about the current situation in the city, which the old man did not hide, and confessed to him, "Childe, if there is chaos today, Yuzhou is no longer the grand occasion of the past, and many locals have also left the country and fled for their lives.

King Liang is very sympathetic to the two old men, and he has to give him an iron wall, let alone a state, he said lightly, "Uncle, I see that your second elder is not an ordinary family, why don't you leave, I see that this place is not a place to stay for a long time, sooner or later it will be affected by the war, and it will not be bitter for the second elder at that time."

King Liang has regarded Yuzhou as a thing in his pocket at this time, and it is a matter of time before he changes hands, he is afraid that he will hurt the second elder, and he will not be able to go away, because the two old men are reasonable people, and they have a good heart, and he can't bear it.
