(31) Bow down

"Hey, what's the most surprising thing about that?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask when she saw Dahan's serious expression.

"Girl, you know that although I am very strong, I am a little timid, and when I first saw you, I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to let out a fart." Xia Houan said, and Zhao Yan was also amused when she heard it.

"But since eating the food in the wooden box that day, I have been a little irritable at some point in the day. One day I quarreled with the guards with whips, I don't know what I thought at the time, I actually punched a guard, the man was punched by me more than a zhang, I have never had such strength, even I was stunned at that time, the man struggled for a long time, his mouth was full of bloodthirst, and I knocked out two teeth. Xiahouan recalled the scene of that day.

"Ahh Zhao Yan also exclaimed.

"Yes, I almost shouted at that time, and when the guards saw me beating people, they all drew their knives, and I was also very scared at that time, and one person said, 'These untouchables dare to beat our people in Liangfu, they think they will live a long time!' The other guards also cursed, and then they gathered around us. When I heard these people's scolding, my heart was on fire, and I remembered that these people didn't pay us, and they beat us with whips, and I don't know where the strength came from, so I raised my fist and knocked down the two of them with one punch. But at this time, Commander Cui showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Those guards saw that I was very strong, so they didn't care about others, they all surrounded me, but I felt that the more I fought, the more energetic I became, I raised my fist, and three more people were flying, I also suffered some knife wounds, but I had rough skin and thick flesh, and it didn't matter, but they were frightened by me, and they didn't dare to surround me anymore, and one of them even knelt down and begged for mercy." Speaking of this, Xiahou An's face was full of pride.

"But the guards began to discuss, and the last one told me that he would take care of our food in the future, and begged me not to beat him, and that they would ask for wages, and they said that they would send someone to ask for it, and it would be delivered in a few days, and I spared them."

In fact, Liang Ji recruited the people to open this rabbit garden and prepared the salary for the people, after all, he didn't care about this little money. He didn't think that all these silver coins had been swallowed by these guards privately, and that the previous days had already been spent, and that he would beat these people and drive them home ten days later, and that in a few days they would be hungry and go back. How dare they report the matter of embezzling silver money to the above, thinking that they will pay silver again next month to make up for this shortfall, and send Xiahou'an, the plague god, away.

"So we had food to eat, and we stayed for a few days, and then I said to the guards, 'We can't just eat your food and not work, but we can help you clear the wasteland, but we can do what we want, and when we are tired, we will rest, but in the end we must pay me.'" The guards were happy to help us out. Since that day I beat those guards, my brothers have recognized me as the boss one by one, and I promised to help clear the wasteland, and they readily agreed. Saying that, Xiahou An looked back at those people, and his face was pale.

"Yes, if we farmers don't hoe the ground and swing the axe every day, the meat will loosen, and we won't be able to work when we go back." A folk husband should be with Xiahou Andao.

"Then Uncle Xiahou, are you still restless these days? Is it the same with everyone else? Although Zhao Yan applauded Uncle Xiahou for teaching those Liang Ji's subordinates a lesson, he was worried about Xiahou An's irritable mood and asked softly.

"Girl, it's strange to say, but I am the only one who eats that meal and is getting more and more energetic, they, it's just that some brothers have a headache and a stomachache the next day after eating that meal, but after two days it gets better, I really don't know if it's good or bad." Xiahou An touched the back of his head with his hand and shook his head.

"Then last night, and I don't know where to transport a bunch of rabbits, we went to shave them and sent them in, and then this morning these people in black clothes came, saying that there was a son and a girl looking for me, I don't know what Miss Son, I thought it was with those guards who wanted to cheat us away, and relied on our wages, so they injured two people in black, I didn't know it was a girl and your friend, so I ......" Xiahou An looked guilty, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Yan.

"Oh? You can actually hurt the black armor man, Cui Feng, you are so good at training! But it was Liu Zhi who said to Commander Cui, but saw that two of the black armored people were really supported by their companions.

Commander Cui's face was red and white, and he quickly knelt down, "Childe, the subordinate commander has no way, please atone for your sins!" Commander Cui didn't dare to call Liu Zhi "Your Majesty", but he still knelt down and kowtowed.

"Brother Zhi, you're here too! This is Uncle Xiahou! Zhao Yan said in surprise while introducing her "Uncle Xiahou" to Liu Zhi.

Xiahou An frowned, and saw Liu Zhi looking like a rich son, he was quite displeased, and then heard Zhao Yan call this young man "Brother Zhi", and his tone was very intimate, so he said in a rough voice, "My little Zhao Yan is young, and it may make you a ...... The son of a rich family has been deceived, and Xiao Zhao Yan is now also a young lady of the big official's family, ...... you You can't bully her! "Xiahou An was born in a difficult family, and he has seen some rich people flirting with peasant girls, and when he saw Liu Zhi's appearance, he classified him into one of them.

When Xiahou'an was halfway through his words, those black-armored people heard that this person was so disrespectful to His Majesty, and they had already glared at him angrily, and they all pressed their hands on their waists and wanted to pull out their weapons, but because Liu Zhi did not make a will, they couldn't move, Xiahou'an was also a little scared when he saw it, but he still stubbornly finished speaking.

"Uncle Xiahou! He is Brother Zhi, and it is he who sent his subordinates to look for you, so that Yan'er can find you, you ...... Don't talk about Brother Zhi, everyone is their own family! Zhao Yan's voice trembled, she was afraid that Liu Zhi would be angry, so she persuaded Xiahou Andao.

But Zhao Yan was greatly moved in her heart, although she had only met with Dahan twice, and it didn't add up to a few hours, but she has always regarded Aunt Fan as a mother, and naturally she faintly regarded this Xiahou Dahan as a father in her heart, she was born not long ago, her father passed away, and she never felt how her father's love was, at this time, Uncle Xiahou was not afraid of Liu Zhi's wealth and power, for fear that she would be bullied, her heart was already turbulent, and she said movingly, "Brother Zhi!" Uncle Xiahou is just like my father, don't be angry with him......"

Liu Zhiben heard the words of the big man, his face was angry, but when he heard Zhao Yan say this, he stood up straight in place. But he saw that his left hand pressed his right hand, hid his hand in his sleeve, raised his hand to increase his forehead, and bowed deeply to Xiahou An until his back was perpendicular to his legs, and then got up, his hands were eyebrows again, and finally put his hand down.

The black armor people all opened their eyes wide, and Commander Cui opened his mouth even wider, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Even in the palace, when the Empress Dowager Liang was the same generation as the emperor, she couldn't stand this great gift, so she said that the emperor bowed his head to you, the head of the people, and as soon as he gave his hand, your whole family was dead, and everyone thought in their hearts, "This person's eighteenth generation ancestral grave has been smoking for three years......

Zhao Yan saw that Liu Zhi actually saluted Xiahou An like this, her eyes were already red, and she only said in her heart, "Brother Zhi actually ...... Treat me like a treasure! Crying and embraced Liu Zhi's arms, Liu Zhiben had just finished saluting, and as soon as his head was raised, he saw that Zhao Yan had embraced him, and he hugged Zhao Yan with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiahou An also knew that the little girl and this boy were really in love, not a child playing with a woman, he was a simple person, seeing that this boy brother could make such a big gift to himself, his heart was long gone. Hehe smirked, "Yes, the first time I saw my family's Ah Xiu and her father, Ah Xiu is my family's mother-in-law, and her father can't look down on me, I 'dangdang' kowtowed eighteen times in a row, and the old man has a smile on his face, and he is cheap for you...... Hehe...... "All the black armor people gasped, and said in their hearts, "You dare to let the emperor kowtow to you eighteen times, but I am afraid that your monkey ancestor thousands of years ago will have to dig it out and break the bones and scatter ashes......" But seeing Liu Zhi, he only smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yan raised her head and saw that both of them were smiling, but one was grinning and the other was smiling, and her heart was very sweet. What Xia Hou'an said she had already heard in Liu Zhi's arms, that is, she had regarded her as a daughter, and at this moment in Ailang's arms, she thought to herself, how good it would be if the family could be together like this forever, and I just hope that this moment can be still.

But I heard Xiahou An say, "Girl, you see it's not too early at this time, you found me, look at your little couple like this, I also miss my mother-in-law, and I have also got this salary, haha, go home!" ”

"Huh? Uncle Xiahou, did those guards pay you? Zhao Yanqi said.

"Hehe, it was these friends in black who gave it to us, and each of them gave us a few ingots of horseshoe gold, and we went back to exchange it for copper coins and then divided it." Xiahou An pointed to the black armor man and said.

"Hmmm! If you have merit in finding someone, you will be rewarded when you go back! But listening to Liu Zhi say to this black armored man, everyone knelt on the ground to thank him, and Commander Cui was even more happy to kowtow, he thought that his head would move due to poor guards, but when he heard the emperor say this, he knew that his head had been saved. I secretly called it a fluke in my heart, and said that I was so prescient.

It turned out that after Xiahou An injured two black armored people, Commander Cui knew that it was not possible to use force, and besides, this person was found by the emperor and invited, so he couldn't do it. After asking these people to ask for wages, they paid out of their own pockets and gave Xiahou An a few ingots of gold, who knew that Xiahou An saw that the brothers did not get the money or did not leave, and Commander Cui had to let his subordinates take out the money, which coaxed these many people to follow him to find Liu Zhi.

After this matter was settled, Xiahou An broke up with the brothers in each village to say goodbye, and those people all shouted affectionately, "Brother Xiahou, Brother Xiahou......" Everyone thought that if it weren't for this person, they wouldn't be able to get back this lot of money, and they all sincerely missed it.

Zhao Yan and Liu Zhi rode on Chilin, and Zhao Yan said to Liu Zhi softly, "Brother Zhi, you have given favors to the people again, Yan'er is so happy." ”

Liu Zhidao, "I don't want to be a big wrongdoer for Liang Ji, I will definitely return him in the future!" Yan'er, I have to hurry back to the palace so that they don't have to wait in a hurry......"

"Ah...... Brother Na Zhi, hurry back! Zhao Yan was anxious, afraid that Liu Zhi would be in a hurry to do something important, so the two hurriedly said goodbye to Xiahou An and ran towards the gate of Luoyang City.
