Xiang Bo said that these things were not waiting for Zhu Da to answer, and Zhu Da didn't know how to answer, as for Zhou Qingyun, when it came to such a moment, he took the initiative to stay away.

Everyone was silent until the ox cart crossed the pontoon bridge and restarted on the road.

Zhu Da didn't think that the master spoke too directly to the uncle, the age gap is so big, and it is the relationship between master and apprentice, if he hides it, it will be weird, Zhu Da is also thinking, is he unwilling? is indeed unwilling, unwilling to be so poor, unwilling to be at the bottom, but that Qin Xiucai is not so good, a scholar with ideas, the leader of a county-level private salt organization, but if you look at the whole world, Qin Xiucai is not at the bottom, but it will not be much higher than the bottom.

But no matter what, the path Qin Xiucai gave was indeed the best opportunity he could catch in front of him.

After Xiang Bo said his heart-wrenching words, he and Zhu Da were silent, but Zhou Qingyun was full of interest, running up and down, asking questions and questions, Xiang Bo and Zhu Da answered without a word.

"Your family is interesting, Brother Zhu is the youngest, but he looks the oldest." The knight who was escorting teased.

The knight surnamed Chen Mingli who followed the car, in his early forties, was slightly blessed, liked to squint and smile, and looked kind and kind, but the movements of the upper and lower mounts and the calluses at the tiger's mouth all showed this person's ability, although Chen Li said that he had a mount, he did not often ride on a horse, and would lead the horse for more than half an hour before getting on the horse and riding for a while, and then dismount and walk, and so on.

"It's just such a horse, when it matters, rely on its foot power to rush and run fast, and you have to save your strength." When asked why, this knight Chen Li did not hide his selfishness, and replied with a smile.

Zhu Da listened carefully, and also noticed that after Xiang Bo finished saying that, he looked at himself from time to time, his expression was quite complicated, and he looked at what he wanted to say several times, but he wanted to say it and stopped.

This return trip was not along the way, because the ox cart could not walk the small road by the river, in fact, it was also very inconvenient to walk on this official road, and it was stuck in the pit three times in less than two hours, and the old and young went into battle together to push the cart out.

The official road is much more lively than the riverside road, and you can often see tea sheds and vendors on the roadside, and even inns or something, but where there are such facilities, it is either a fork in the road, or the back of the village.

Whenever he passed by such places, Zhu Da would always notice some sneaky lookouts like idle bastards, and even had to follow along for a while, often Xiang Bo and the knight Chen Li picked up the blade and put it down before retreating, and even asked Zhou Qingyun to practice shooting with a bow and arrow on the road.

“...... It's really not smooth on this road, there are so many miscellaneous people......" Zhu Danian muttered.

Xiang Bo is also mainly walking, walking for an hour will sit on the ox cart for a while, after hearing his words, he said while walking: "It is not very peaceful, there is no one on the road, it is a group of people, if you miss the cowardice, you will be bitten by someone." ”

"Brother Zhu, there is no duty on this road, you look at the caravan or something, entering the city is an honest and good citizen, if he really wants to go to the village and not have a store, he really dares to make money and kill him, it's just to see if it's worth it!" Knight Chen Li interjected with a smile.

"Is there a royal law here?" Zhou Qingyun couldn't listen to it a little.

"There are really not many people who know the royal law, and those people in the government and the guard are afraid that they don't know much, and you don't just look at those idlers and gangsters, there are more than three groups of people staring at our goods along the way, but they just saw that they recognized the flag and retreated!" Chen Li said.

Zhu Da was startled, and subconsciously looked at Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo nodded to indicate that Chen Li was right, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had fear and unbelievability on their faces, there were already spies staring at them just now, why didn't they notice it at all.

Seeing the expressions of the two teenagers, Chen Li laughed, and continued to point: "Idlers and gangsters take advantage, and those who really dare to kill people and sell goods must also guard against others, how dare they toss so boldly, the vendors and shops on the side of the road have their eyeliner, and it is not easy to start if it looks good, this is the doorway on the rivers and lakes, you can't understand it now." ”

Xiang Bo and Chen Li were both relaxed as if nothing had happened, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun became nervous, and the two of them looked left and right in and out of the car, looking at the business travelers coming and going like thieves, their performance made Xiang Bo and Chen Li couldn't help laughing.

This common sense deepened Zhu Da's judgment, this is really a jungle society where the law of the jungle is the strong, the laws and rules are on the surface, and there is nothing wrong with his own self-improvement judgment.

Vigilance is vigilance, but there is nothing to do on this road, and even a little peace and prosperity can be seen later, and there are many merchants with smiles on their faces, but there are some changes at dusk, and the pedestrians on the road become scarce very quickly, and those who are still on the road are also a little anxious.

"In the future, if you want to walk outside, you must remember to take less night roads, and you must find a place to stay before dark, and the horses and bandits will come out at night, and the leopards and wolves are not easy to mess with." Teach your own experience to Uncle.

Chen Li had lost the relaxation of the day, led the horse back and forth to observe carefully, and added in a muffled voice: "You should also be careful when staying and staying in the hotel, you are a foreigner, and if you die outside, you have to wait for half a month before your family can report to the official, who can know if you are buried in the field, it is easier for residents and shops to start than to rob them." ”

Zhou Qingyun had already held the bow and arrow in his hand, and said with an uncomfortable face: "There is no place in the world where you can feel at ease." ”

His words made Xiang Bo and Chen Li both shake their heads and laugh, and Xiang Bo said: "As long as you are careful and vigilant, others will not act if you are on guard, then he is a good person, but if you have to be arrogant and make others feel that it is easy to do it, then he is a bad person." ”

Zhu Da understood this, Zhou Qingyun seemed to understand, and Xiang Bo also saw the reaction of the two and shook his head with emotion.

The really difficult road to walk is the official road to Baibao Village, this road is potholed and difficult to walk, it is completely pressed on the ruts left in the past, and it stops from time to time to ask everyone to push or move.

However, the foot power of this ox cart played a great role, when the sun was setting and the sky was not over, Zhu Da and his party entered Baibao Village, and when they first entered the village, the knight Chen Li was surprised.

"Your village's regulations are very decent!"

Along the way, I walked through several villages, only Baibao Village had a good earthen fence, and you could still see the people on guard duty at night, and when their group approached, the wall also knocked on the bangzi, of course, after approaching, it was quiet after recognizing people.

Coming back from the bustling and lively Zheng Jiaji, and looking at this Baibao Village again, he could feel that poverty had been magnified ten times and a hundred times, but Zhu Da felt very kind, and he thought that this might be the feeling of "home".

Before I could sigh for too long, everyone found that Baibao Village was much more lively than when they left, although everyone came out to see the excitement of Zhu Da and Xiang Bo, but there were many more people who saw the excitement than before, and if you carefully distinguished, you can find that the thirty people who went to Huairen Thousand Households have returned.

asked casually, and Huairen Qianhu said that the Tartars outside the border plug had gone back, so there was no need for so many people to be busy, and they just let everyone back, and there was no need to continue to rotate the horses.

Counting the days, the time to release everyone is exactly before and after the thieves were exterminated, as for saying that this Tartar is not in danger is a joke, that is, on the day of the release of everyone, the beacon smoke is still very conspicuous in the sky.

A sneer appeared on Zhu Da's face, and he really let himself be right, and the transfer of Ding Zhuang from each village was just to make the thieves better attacked, and now that this method has failed, he is too lazy to do these superficial things.

"These people in Weili are really ...... It's really ......" Xiang Bo muttered two sentences, he didn't know what words to use to describe it, Zhu Da turned his head and looked at Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo just shook his head and sighed, the onlookers all saw the goods on the ox cart, and also saw Chen Li who was dressed in a strong suit and riding a horse with a knife, many people were whispering, with envy and jealousy on their faces.

Chen Li didn't know what they were talking about, but Chen Li had his own things to do, so he got on the horse and shouted loudly: "My lord went into battle with Master Xiang back then, and was saved by Master Xiang. ”

The surrounding crowd exclaimed, and the discussion became a lot louder, and Zhu Da noticed that the expressions on the faces of the villagers were much calmer, and only envy remained.

"Those who have read books have a lot of thoughts." Behind him, Xiang Bo sighed, Zhu Da also agreed with this sentence, small villages, it is difficult to hide anything from each other, Xiang Bo will definitely be seen by many people when he comes back with these goods, and he must be envious, jealous and hateful, causing a lot of right and wrong, when the time comes, this wealth is not a benefit, but a source of harm, and even causes trouble in the official face.

However, as soon as Chen Li shouted like this, everyone knew that there was cause and effect, and they could feel a lot of relief in their hearts, plus the title of "master" in the shouting, God knows if this lord is an official, and he also has a root, thinking of this layer, even if everyone is filthy and pickled in their hearts, they don't dare to show it, after all, they have to think about the consequences.

Just like that, all the way to the door of Xiang's house, the cart stopped in front of the door, Xiang Bo beckoned the knight Chen Li and the ox cart driver to eat, arranged for Zhu Da to cook, and arranged for Zhou Qingyun to invite Zhu Da's parents to come over, before that, everyone moved things in together.

Others escorted and pulled the goods hard, Xiang Bo took out all the inventory at home, there were fish, meat and wine, it seemed very rich, and the coachman and Chen Li were happy to eat and drink.

But Zhu Da's father Zhu Shishi and mother Zhu Wang did not meet these two people, and Xiang Bo arranged for them to come to another room, where Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were both there, and this room was piled with grain, cloth and other things sent.

"We're two of us!" Xiang Bo said straight to the point.

The Zhu family and his wife were dazzled, they had seen so many goods there, fine grain, cloth, bare sheep, chickens and ducks, groceries, as well as the basket of copper coins and a few ingots of silver on it, for them, they felt flustered when they looked at it, and when they heard Xiang Bo say this, they were even more startled, and they waved their hands and said, "How can you make it, you can't do it!" ”

"What's the matter, these are not given to you by the old man, but earned by your Zhu Da with his ability, just take it back." Xiang Bo said impatiently.

It's actually Zhu Da's credit? His son's ability is getting bigger and bigger...... The parents of the Zhu family were a little dumbfounded, and they couldn't react for a while, and Xiang Bo frowned and said, "This is all a small matter, and there are big things to say!" ”
