The fog fills the Yangtze River, almost reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, but the businessman and fisherman who get up early can't be lazy about his livelihood because of the fog, after all, the family behind him is still waiting for his own work and food, and if he is delayed, he will starve to death.

The head of the beacon tower by the Xunyang River drank wine in the middle of the night, staggered and hummed a little song back, and a group of soldiers were full of envy and begged for wine and meat. The chief laughed and scolded and threw the leftover wine and food he ate to these people: "Don't eat and drink too much, and be careful, you all watch carefully, I'll wake up and sober up." ”

The soldier who took the wine and meat smiled and said: "Jiangdong has already given in to our general, and has sent servants several times to quietly complain to our general, begging us not to send troops to attack him, now they should think about guarding against us, and we don't need to guard against them, everyone can rest and drink in peace." ”

This is the mentality of the left-behind soldiers in Jingzhou now, and of course the same is true of this chief, otherwise he would not have gone to the town to eat and drink.

As the so-called self-inflicted on himself, he was asking others to be strict, and he would eventually turn the other way, so the chief shook his head with a smile, and then walked into his room crookedly, without taking off his clothes, he threw himself directly on the bed, and in a blink of an eye, the alcohol surged, and he fell asleep soundly.

The remaining 20 or so soldiers immediately scrambled to spread the wine and meat, so they divided the wine, although each person was less than half a bowl, but this is a strong wine from Youzhou, which can definitely be ten times better than the local rice wine, this is definitely a good thing, and it can definitely be enjoyed.

So everyone talked and laughed and ate and drank with a sip of wine and a sip of meat. Before I knew it, the night was already deep, and the smell of alcohol was rising, and one of the elderly people said to a young recruit: "You boy go up to the beacon tower and watch, let's all rest." ”

The child muttered discontentedly, "Why is it always my vigil?" ”

The veteran went up and slapped him, and scolded with a smile: "It's the middle of the night, you're just keeping watch for half the night, and then you're going crazy all day, are you still being treated badly?" ”

As soon as he heard that he would be allowed to move freely during the day tomorrow, the child happily ran to the top of the beacon tower, put up a coat, and looked at the foggy river.

The whole night was quiet, except for the unknown insects chirping around, everything was so peaceful, at this time, the snoring under the beacon gradually rose, like a lullaby to infect him, and finally made it stagger, and the heavy eyes were closed.

I don't know when, the child suddenly felt a chill on his neck, was there something hard to resist, opened his eyes suddenly, but saw a hideous face in front of him, was smiling at him, the smile was not a little warm, full of death, the child was frozen at the time, did not dare to move at all, between listening, the veteran brothers under the beacon tower, there was no snoring, faintly came a person's voice: "Everyone don't move, we are all working for the above." , just eat with a mouthful, your life is your own, there is no need to really throw your life out, as long as everyone doesn't resist, don't make a noise, and then follow us, we won't kill you. ”

The child immediately stopped struggling.

At this time, several men dressed in Jingzhou soldier costumes went to the top of the beacon tower, but the faces were all unfamiliar, none of them were familiar to him, and then one of the men said to his own person: "This child's costume is too small, just leave it for him, and then you press these people on the boat." ”

So the man let go of the knife with a smile and patted the child: "You take advantage of it, come with us." ”

The child obediently followed the man down the beacon tower, and then went straight to the river, in the dense fog by the river, there were indeed a number of big boats, when the child was escorted up, he saw clearly that half of the more than 20 brothers in his beacon tower had been stripped of their clothes, but half of them were still wearing Jingzhou armor.

On the ship, I didn't find any soldiers and generals, all of them were dressed in white (not really white, here we are referring to ordinary people)

After getting on the boat, he was escorted out of the cabin, and as soon as he entered the cabin, the child was even more surprised, because there were dense Jiangdong soldiers inside, and there were at least hundreds of people on this boat.

The big ship continued to march, up the river, and the beacon towers along the way were constantly occupied, and people were constantly escorted down, and finally because the whole cabin was really small, the child was lifted to the cabin because he looked no danger, and he was stripped of his military uniform, and asked him to help run the boat.

This child was taken care of, ate and drank, which made him full of gratitude, he was a soldier to everyone, in order to eat, and now he can get such protection and sufficient food, so that he slowly forgot that he was once a member of the Jingzhou army, and he took it for granted that he was originally a member of this place. And in his heart, these people are better for themselves, better than those officials and gentlemen in Jingzhou.

Children are like this, they still have the most simple likes and dislikes, whoever is good to themselves, their hearts are close to whom.

On this day, the entire fleet came to the outside of Jingzhou City, but it was already dusk, and the city gate had already been closed.

At this time, the leader of the fleet said to these Jingzhou soldiers: "I choose you people, I hope you will shout to open the city gate for me, of course, you will not work in vain, as long as you shout to open the city gate, each person will give 100,000 yuan, it is steel coins, not rotten money, but who wants to talk nonsense in front of the city gate, leaking our news, see you with white knives and red backgrounds." ”

100,000 yuan, or steel coins, which made the child red-eyed at that time, this is definitely a huge wealth, definitely enough for his family to live for a year, so he took the initiative to ask: "I also want to participate." ”

The man smiled and pushed him away: "You are still young, useless." ”

As a result, the child stubbornly said: "My father is the official who guards the gate of this city, and he is the chief, and I can definitely open the door if I go to call it." ”

When he heard this, the man immediately rejoiced: "Come, put on his old clothes and uniforms." Then he said to him, "If you can talk to your father and call the city gate, I will give you 200,000 yuan." ”

The child was even more happy when he heard this, so he patted his chest and promised, "Open the city gate, there is absolutely no problem, you can follow me", and then he jumped off the gangplank, and the man shook his head with a wry smile, caught up a few steps, and held her hand tightly, but the other hand was in his arms I entered the dagger in his arms.
