Ximenqing and his entourage hurried along the way, and did not forget to perform in the county-level big city to earn extra money and make a small profit. After the city of those passing through Ximenqing, the local entertainment industry has begun to improve itself. However, this kind of behavior of pretending to be public and delaying official affairs has already caused him a bad influence, and he has no idea that such behavior can already remove him from his post on the spot, and his previous behavior of "stealing the city" in Xu County has added a lot of danger to his envoy Yuan Shu this time. Fortunately, he has received many benefits like the aura of the invisible protagonist, which is not something that the natives of this world can have such good luck. It seems that there must be a mysterious force guarding the traverser Ximenqing in the dark.

"There was a burst of autumn rain and a burst of cold, and the peasants were panicked when they collected grain. In the thousands of warehouses, it is difficult to know when they will be healthy. Since the formation of the singer club, Ximenqing no longer sings at will, and the next way to relieve his troubles has become nonsense and limerick poems. The golden wheat waves are very gratifying, and it is this ordinary wheat field that makes Ximenqing stop the team and stop and watch for a long time. For this reason, Ximenqing enjoyed the benefit of being the first to be torn out by a woman after the crossing, and this Ximenqing's demonic shouting attracted a group of farmers with nervous expressions. As soon as the two teams met, it was embarrassing.

When the peasants armed with wooden forks, bamboo rakes and other agricultural tools heard the sound, they did not see the terrible beasts, but they saw the more terrible officials. The old man with white hair trembling and said, "Official! We have handed over all the official rations for this year! The owner's rent has also been paid! Finally, there is a little bit of seeds for the coming year and rations to survive the next winter and spring, and you are good to go! Let my whole village have a way to live! After speaking, he took the villagers to kneel down and kept kowtowing to Ximenqing. There are a few small potholes in the wet road!

Ximenqing hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and also motioned for the other farmers to get up. They straightened up in gratitude, their eyes full of longing. Ximenqing asked: "Seeing the huge ears of wheat all over the ground, the breeze blowing and swaying like the waves of the sea is magnificent and beautiful, there is such a good harvest, and I will be full of joy when a foreigner sees it." But the old man, you and the villagers have such a reaction, is it that there are traitors and villains in the government here who are making waves and preying on the common people? ”

Hearing Ximenqing's inquiry, the villagers' emotions became even more excited, and many people silently and secretly jerkered. The old man wiped his tears with his shabby sleeves and said sadly: "You don't know the officials from afar, since General Yuan seized Yuzhou, it has been a good year and a famine. The addition of all kinds of forced labor and the collection of taxes in various names have never stopped, and the people of Yuzhou are miserable! ”

"Woohoo! The four clans and three princes of the Yuan family in Runan, the people of Yuzhou have been exploited and miserable for a hundred years! Relying on God's blessing in a good year, I can only barely fill my stomach, and if there is a famine, I can only rely on eating weeds and gnawing tree bark to survive and leave half a small life. Who can have a good dress to wear and a meal to eat all these years! Ximen Qing said: "As the saying goes, 'Trees die, people live!'" Why don't the people leave this place? ”

"My lord! You're right! But we also have a problem! First, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and the souls and flesh of our ancestors are buried here. Second, General Yuan set up a cool law in Yuzhou, one person fled, one family overturned, one family fled, and one village was convicted! Our people in Yuzhou are miserable! If the convicted man is a man, then what awaits him is to open mountains and split rocks, build dams and roads, mine and build cities, and there is no way to survive again. If you are lucky enough to encounter a war, you will have to transport food for thousands of miles, and the unlucky one is the human shield that was driven before the battle. Since then, the flesh and blood have been abandoned in the wilderness, and the soul has wandered alone in a foreign land. Even if there is a great fortune in heaven, it is impossible to escape the doom of becoming a crippled person with no hands and legs! O Lord! Have pity on the people of Yuzhou! ”

This is the base camp of Yuan Shu, Nanyang is also named "Wan" because it is located in the south of Funiu Mountain and north of Hanshui. It is the birthplace of Chu and Han cultures. At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, Yu took Dengzhou in present-day Nanyang as the capital. During the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, there were Shen, Deng, Xie and other vassal states in Nanyang. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was one of the six major metropolises in the country, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the birthplace of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu, so it was called "Southern Capital" and "Imperial Township". It is also the largest county in Yuzhou, and the population of money and grain ranks first in Yuzhou. After four generations of the Yuan family have worked hard here, now Yuan Shu is using the influence of the wealth accumulated by his ancestors to plan his way to the top.

"Xuanyanzhou Cao's envoy enters the house and bows!" "Xuanyanzhou Cao's envoy enters the house and bows!" "Xuanyanzhou Cao's envoy enters the house and bows!" Knowing that Cao Cao sent Ximen Qing to Nanyang, his own one-acre and three-point land, Yuan Shu was full of style. Just when Ximen Qing entered the mansion, Yuan Shu made a "name worship" etiquette to show his strong strength. It seems that apart from his Yuan Shu, there are no heroes in this world.

Yuan Shu sat on the throne and before Ximen Qing could speak, he sent the official to show the rubbing of the jade seal of the country and said proudly: "The sage said, 'The destiny of heaven is permanent, only the virtuous live there', and now the general has obtained the jade seal of the country!" There are also thousands of miles of fertile land in Jianghuai and Yuzhou, and 500,000 powerful troops capable of conquest and habitual warfare. Hurry up and go back and tell Cao Apu to surrender as soon as possible. General Ben will remember the love of growing up together since childhood, let him spend his old age in peace, otherwise, General Ben will personally lead the army of the country to the north to destroy him! ”

Ximenqing laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! The sage said, 'The destiny of heaven is permanent, only the virtuous live there', but you Yuan Shu stole the treasures of the Han family, fish and flesh people, and made rich places like Yuzhou and Jianghuai become hell on earth! What shame do you have to live! Yuan Shu said angrily: "Bastard! Your little Pingdong General's Mansion is emboldened to steal my city by relying on a little talent! General Ben was merciful enough to spare you a dog's life, but now it's impossible! The people from the left and right first pressed the thief Ximenqing in the water prison! Waiting for General Ben to personally lead the army of the country and go north to crusade against the rebel Cao Cao's expedition on the day of his expedition to worship the gods! ”

"Hahahaha! The thief Yuan Shu still dares to shout to catch the thief! If you have the ability, you will kill me Ximenqing now! If I Ximenqing blinked, I would have your last name! "Simon Dog Thief! Dare to be hard when you die! Look at the sword! As he spoke, Yuan Shu pulled out his sword and stabbed at Ximen Qing.
