Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were accustomed to the old man's meanness, and immediately looked at each other and smiled, although they couldn't see each other's smiles.

The night action is completely different from the daytime, the horseback riding has a very limited increase in the speed of travel, mainly to save physical strength, the road between the villages, and between the village and the official road is not easy to walk, and the galloping horse is easy to make the horse fall and break the bone, that is the greater trouble, so you will stop and rest after walking.

"Uncle Yuan, if we sell this horse every time, will it be noticed, there are a lot of people who have been killed and offended this year, if it is brought to the door, I am afraid it will be a big trouble."

"I'm afraid of a ball, this horse is gold and silver, everyone thinks it's black and black, the families on the ground in Datong have been tossing for so many years, killing and killing are entangled, you are blatantly selling horses for money, but they can't understand and guess."

"Uncle Yuan, in case they arrange eyeliner in the bazaar, we will be targeted when we sell horses......"

Whenever such an occasion occurs, Zhou Qingyun will listen quietly, or feed the horse or prepare others, the two sides of the argument are mainly Zhu Da and Yuan Biao, Zhu Da seems to be able to take everything into account, while Xiang Bo is disdainful and refutes everywhere. Zhu Da's consideration made the old man cough out laughing.

“...... How capable do you think they are, and they go to the market to arrange eyeliner, and some thoughts will not let people go home to live, they will be enclosed in the Zhuangzi, and they will be put back in three or four years, they are really strict and will be extinguished in the end, how can it be like this......"

Speaking of this, the old man smiled, although the fire was very weak, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both noticed the coldness of this smile, combined with the scar on the old man's face, like a demon at night, Yuan Biao drank the warm soup on the fire, and said in a hoarse voice: "What if you really find out, it would be good to kill with real knives and guns, you two are so young, you two won't want to enjoy peace and wealth!" ”

Saying such things to the old man, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't even look at each other, only shook their heads helplessly there, and saw that the old man was silent, Zhu Dacai said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yuan, your body is becoming more and more unbearable, so you don't have to run with the juniors day and night, Qingyun and I can cope with it, no matter how bad it is, he still has a bow in his hand, if something really happens, he can run if he can't kill it, you can rest at home for a few days." ”

“...... I...... I can't help you much, but you still have the knowledge, and you two will think you're veterans when you kill these people...... It's still far away, today this Zhao boldly ......" The old man coughed and began to comment in a chattering voice.

At this time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun no longer talked back, but listened very carefully, and raised questions and expressed their opinions from time to time.

The explanation and commentary were also resting, and it didn't take long for the three of them to extinguish the fire and get up and move on, where Yuan Biao was holding back his cough and was helped to the saddle by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, Zhu Da knew that Zhou Qingyun was as worried about Yuan Biao's body as himself, and the old man really couldn't hold on.

When I first saw Yuan Biao three years ago, the old man was very energetic, but in the end, he was seriously injured and lost his vitality, two years ago it was just a small wind chill, which made Yuan Biao's body collapse all of a sudden, and he couldn't see what it would look like next year, but the more like this, the more the old man refused to recuperate at home, set goals for Zhu Da and the two all day long, followed them, and then judged their actions, this drag also made Yuan Biao's body more and more unbearable.

They did not go back to Zhengjiaji directly, but went west, the more west, the more businessmen from Shaanxi and Yansui and Yulin, these places and Datong do not govern each other, and they are also the style of border towns, so the west of Datong border towns is particularly lawless, and they have to be careful to do things over there, so as not to be trapped.

Just at a certain intersection in the west, every early morning there are three or three groups of people and lone people gathered, they will sell all kinds of goods to the passing caravans, from small pieces to livestock, even girls and children, the price is relatively appropriate, as long as you are not afraid of follow-up troubles, buy it and change hands is a dividend, there are caravans that are not along the way at all and would rather go around more than come to try their luck, and there are even characters from the rivers and lakes and green forests to come here to shop for goods.

Zhu Da stained his face with dirt, led the horse to the side of the road, Zhao Dada's mount saddle has been thrown away by him, but he can't see any origin, although this is the northern border, but horses are still rare and sought-after goods, after a few people asked the price, they soon got the cash and shot, looking at Zhu Da riding a horse with a knife, no one had any bad intentions.

Even so, when Zhu Da left here, he deliberately looked back to see if anyone was watching, this is not careful, but a lesson, just half a year ago, he also came here to sell stolen goods, because the harvest was good, and he didn't go long to keep up with people, and thanks to Zhou Qingyun's bow to press the formation, otherwise I am afraid that there will be big trouble, since then, Zhu Da has been cautious every time, for fear of being targeted by others, of course, he is also thinking about how to follow others.

When they returned to the place where Zhou Qingyun and Yuan Biao were waiting, they found that the old man had fallen asleep, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not rush to wake up, but waited there quietly for an hour.

The three of them still didn't go towards Zheng Jiaji, but they took a long detour and went towards Baibao Village, so far around, it was difficult for people with a heart to keep up.

It turns out that there are only two roads to go to Baibao Village from the outside, one is to take the path on the official road, and the other is to take the path along the Xiami River.

But now it is completely different, and now the official road and the two roads leading to Baibao Village by the river cannot be said to be small roads, they can be said to be big roads, and they are not bad compared to the dilapidated official roads.

This road construction is to require a lot of manpower and a lot of money, not to say that there is no private salt as a foundation for Qinchuan, even in the heyday, it can't do this at all, the reason why it has become easy to walk and spacious, the reason is very simple, there are more people walking, the literary masters of those years once said, 'There are more people walking, there is also a road', it is true, there are more pedestrians and cars coming and going, more than before, and naturally the road is stepped out.

And the villages along the road want to do pedestrian business, even if you can't buy a large amount of goods, it's good to build a shed to sell tea, it's always a subsidy, since you want to make some money in it, then how much work is done, if the road in front of your village is too broken, everyone is not willing to stay, then who earns what, so along the way the village hundreds of households and the like, how much will repair the road in front of the door, often pad soil and dig ditches and the like.

When there were still more than ten miles away from Baibao Village, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both let the mounts walk slowly, so that they could not be too bumpy and make Yuan Biao more comfortable on the horse.

They chose the path from the official road to Baibao Village, at this distance they also had to pass through the village of Xiama, if three outsiders on horseback passed by three years ago, the whole village would be either on alert or nervous, God knows if it was the master of the guard who sent the family to collect the grain tax, if it was not sent by the master I am afraid it would be worse, the horse thief came in it would be a big disaster.

But now it's completely different, as soon as I saw Zhu Da coming, the general flag in the village hurriedly greeted him, and asked Zhu Da to go to the house for tea with a smile.

Zhu Da also knows how to do it, he has already turned over and dismounted, and greeted the leading people in the hundred households, everyone made this ceremony to a full, although they did not go to be a guest in the end, but they also made an appointment for the next day.

In the past, in these hundreds of villages, the hundred households and the general banners flattered, and the military households below were often cold-eyed, so many years, such flattery was often the lord who came to eat human flesh and drink human blood, everyone was afraid of power and did not dare to do anything, but they must grit their teeth with hatred in their hearts, but they were different from Zhu Da, as long as they saw polite and respectful greetings, they were courteous and grateful.

Zhu Da is also polite and polite to these people, he doesn't feel how noble he is, Zhu Da has always regarded himself as an ordinary military household, and he will never put on a show.

If there are people who have come to Xiama Village before, they will find that the village at this time is completely different from three years ago, when this side was squeezed very badly by the old men of the guard, and was broken into by thieves, making it very dilapidated, but there are still many people in the village, and there are still young and strong men, but when Zhu Da passed by, he did not see how many young and strong people in the village, and even few strong women.

Because of the slow walking of the mount, the old man's condition on the horse was also much better, and when he left the village of Xiama, he couldn't help but sigh there, "I don't understand your child's mind, what do you do if you have such a skill, what do you do to learn martial arts, and there is no way to take the road with a knife to fight, why do you bother to ......"

"Uncle Yuan, how many times have you been chattering, didn't I tell you? If you don't have a knife, you can't protect anything! Zhu Da said with a smile, looking at the White Fort Village in the distance, his mood also improved.

Summer is the season of lush greenery, this side is close to the Shami River, and there is no shortage of irrigation, whether it is crops or grass and trees are luxuriant, riding a horse to walk in it, people also feel comfortable physically and mentally.

The spring is busy, the autumn is not busy, there are not many people in the fields, several doors in the soil fence of Baibao Village are wide open, looking peaceful and relaxed, only a few children are running and playing carefree, they are not afraid after seeing Zhu Dasan, but they came over to take a few looks, and then ran back with a smile, shouting while running: "The eldest young master is back, the eldest young master is back!" ”

Zhu Da, who heard this, smiled bitterly, and Yuan Biao sneered and said: "Zheng Jiaji's old Zheng's child can barely be called a young master, you are good, you have actually added a big one." ”

"Uncle Yuan, don't laugh at me, they can't tell the difference between Da and Da, so they just scream like this, I also feel awkward."
