"And how did you find me?" Liu Zhi and Zhao Yan rode on Chilin, Commander Cui led the way, and the three of them asked as they walked Liu Zhi.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the guilty minister asked the big man surnamed Xiahou and the man who was a man, and still said that he had not seen any trace of His Majesty, and the criminal minister was anxious, but His Majesty wanted to find this person, and the criminal minister ...... And they called him. Commander Cui said this, and he was a little stumped.

"Oh? There are nearly 100 of these people, so how can Liang Ji's paws be willing to let them go? Liu Zhishi wondered about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the guilty minister is holding the token of the Sun family, and he didn't have the intention of being able to bring these people out smoothly, but he thought that Liang and Sun were a family, and that Liang Ji was extremely afraid of his wife, maybe those claws would release him when they saw this token; If you don't let it go, these people are not paid in the palace for nothing, and these dozen or so claw ministers don't take it to heart......" Although Commander Cui led the way in front and replied, his words were still fluent.

"The sinner wanted to bluff a few words with words, but when those paws saw this token, their faces were surprised, but they all felt relieved, even if they were going to release people to us, a few guards still showed joy on their faces, and the ministers saw that those people had blue noses and swollen faces, and they didn't know why."

"Why is that?" Liu Zhi also didn't know why, and said secretly in his heart.

"The criminals are also a little confused, but when they release people, there will be a lot less trouble, and the criminals will ask for ...... Please ask this Xiahou Han to go on the road to find Your Majesty. When they arrived at the official road, the criminal ministers sent their subordinates on the official road to inquire about the people passing by on the road, saying that they had witnessed His Majesty's dragon face and the girl's phoenix posture on the road when they came......

"I see!" Liu Zhizheng was puzzled, and suddenly heard a loud voice in the forest shouting, "Where are you going to take us to?" Who wants to see me! Did you know? ”

"It's Uncle Xiahou!" Zhao Yan exclaimed, although she hadn't seen Xiahou Dahan for a long time, her rough voice was very distinctive, and when she heard it, it was like going back to when she and her brother first arrived at the gate of Luoyang.

"Brother Zhi...... Your Majesty! Yan'er wanted to go see Uncle Xiahou first. Zhao Yan turned her head to look at Liu Zhizheng and asked.

"There you go! Yan'er, you still call me 'Brother Zhi', I don't want them to know my identity. Zhao Yan blushed, nodded in agreement, got off the horse and entered the forest, and Commander Cui on the side also understood.

Zhao Yan hadn't seen Xiahou Dahan yet, only listening to the noise or not stopping, secretly funny in his heart, he quickened his pace into the forest, and after a few steps, he saw two black armored people in front, a group of people followed behind the two, dozens of people, and there were seven or eight black armored people standing beside these people.

Zhao Yan saw that the leader of those people was the Xiahou Dahan, his face was happy, and he greeted the Dahan, and the two black-armored people in front recognized Zhao Yan as the girl who was walking with the emperor, so they ordered the team to stop advancing and flash aside.

"Why did you stop again, what are you people going to do?" Xiahou An was still arguing to himself, and he didn't even see Zhao Yan walking in front of him.

"Uncle Xiahou!" Zhao Yanjiao snorted.

Xiahou An turned his head at this time, saw Zhao Yan stunned, and muttered after a moment, "Girl, you...... You are? "Zhao Yan is gorgeously dressed at this time, her appearance is delicate, and she gives people a sense of gentleness and generosity, she is the eldest lady in someone's house, where can Xia Hou'an recognize that she is the thin and poor girl who fled with her brother; Besides, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, although Zhao Yan has visited Aunt Fan, she has met several times when the big man is not at home.

"It's me! Uncle Xiahou, I'm Zhao Yan! Last year, my brother and I fled to Luoyang, if it weren't for the two cakes that you and Aunt Fan gave me and my brother, I think my brother and sister would have starved to death in Luoyang...... The gates of the city are here! Zhao Yan didn't expect that she would choke up.

"Are you that...... Girl! It turned out that you were looking for me! Xiahou An couldn't believe his eyes, and still stared at Zhao Yan with a pair of bull's eyes, "Yes...... It's you! Dahan also recognized the girl's appearance, which was vaguely the appearance of the fleeing girl.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are so good-looking, your Aunt Fan has also said a few times, saying that you have become a rich lady, I still don't believe it, this time I see it, I can't help but believe it, haha! I think that adult treats you well, what a good person! Dahan remembered the silver money that Cao Teng rewarded him, and he was also grateful.

"Well, Uncle Cao's family treats my brother and sister very well......" Zhao Yan blushed when she heard what Dahan said, and then nodded and replied, but she felt a little guilty in her heart, and she didn't know why.

"These people said that there was a girl who was looking for me, and I was wondering who it was, but it was you, the girl. Is there anything that can help you, just say, hey......, you're a young lady now, how can you still use me as a rough person, haha. Xiahou An laughed quietly.

"No, it's Aunt Fan, when Auntie saw that you hadn't come home for a long time, she asked me to look for you! Good thing I found it! Zhao Yan's words were full of joy.

"Alas! This mother-in-law, didn't I work outside to get some money to go home and let her live a good life, why did she nag like this, and let you come to ......" Xiahou An said.

"It turns out that my uncle is trying to earn some money, but Aunt Fan also remembers her uncle, saying that it has passed the promised time, what has happened in the past many days?" Zhao Yan asked.

"It's not that those officials don't give us money when they come to the day to give money, so we don't leave, and we drag on for a long time, but there are some fun things in this, I'll tell you about it!" Xia Hou'an said that those people were angry when they didn't pay their wages on time, but he suddenly thought of something proud and wanted to tell Zhao Yan.

At this time, Liu Zhi also walked into the forest with Commander Cui, and a group of black-armored people knelt down and saluted, but Commander Cui signaled them not to make a sound and let them get up. Liu Zhi saw that Zhao Yan was talking to the Xiahou Han at this time, so he was also listening, but Xiahou An said that he was on the rise and didn't see Liu Zhi coming.

"I and more than a dozen brothers in the village came here to open up wasteland for them, and the first ten days were agreed, and we concentrated on our work, and there was nothing to do. But on the day when it was time to give money, we begged them for money and wanted to go home, but who knew that these dogs not only didn't give money, but also whipped us, so that we begged our father to tell our mother, saying that there was no money for us, let us go home. Zhao Yan was also shocked when she heard this, thinking that this group of Liang Ji's minions was really hateful.

"Some of us were afraid of being whipped again, so we went home, but many of us still wanted to take the money and went home, so we stayed and didn't leave. But those who were in charge stopped beating us, and we wondered. But they said that we would not get any money for how long we stayed here, that we would not be fed, that we would starve to death if we did not eat for more than ten days, and that they would go home by themselves without rushing us. ”

"These guards have knives in their hands, although there are many of us, and we don't dare to really offend the government, so we dig up some weeds and bark to eat every day, those rabbits, oh, they raised rabbits in the place where we opened up the wasteland, but we didn't dare to move a single hair, saying that if we lose or die, we will pay for our lives, obediently, the lives of these rabbits are much more expensive than our lives......" Liu Zhi was also annoyed when he heard it.

A few days went on, and the guards ignored us. One night I and a few brothers were so hungry that we couldn't sleep, so we went far away to see if we could find some other game to eat, but we didn't see any pheasants and beasts after walking for more than ten miles. ”

"But we have a brother named Hou Si, who has a very smart nose and said that there is a smell of roast chicken, but we didn't smell it, but he said yes, and took us away for a while. Girl, guess what we saw? Xia Hou'an said that at this time, he suddenly sold out.

"What is it? You say it smells like roast chicken, but is someone roasting pheasant? Zhao Yan asked, and Liu Zhi on the side was also quite interested, looking at the big man to see what he was going to say.

"No, no, we're looking at two towers!" Xiahou An saw that Zhao Yan didn't guess, he was very proud, Liu Zhi and Zhao Yan were also surprised, but they heard Xiahou An say, "These two towers are hidden in the deep forest, and they can't be seen from the outside, and they can only be seen when they go inside." ”

"There are two soldiers guarding the entrance at the bottom of these two towers, we are watching from afar, not daring to lean forward, I saw an old man walking out of a tower, this old man is carrying a flat burden, and the front and back of the flat tower are carrying dozens of wooden boxes, this old man gestured to the two soldiers guarding for a while, as if he was deaf and dumb...... "Liu Zhi was shocked, this old man was deaf and dumb, obviously he didn't want outsiders to know that there were such two towers here, and what Liang Ji was doing.

"The old man went to a carriage, unloaded the wooden boxes into the carriage, and then went to the carriage and took out dozens of wooden boxes and put them on his shoulders, as if this time the wooden boxes were sinking, and the old man lifted the flat pole with great effort, and then walked to another tower, and after a while, the old man came out of the tower again, but this time he unloaded the wooden boxes and jumped on his horse, and drove the carriage away."

We were wondering, but Hou Si whispered to us, I smelled the smell of roast chicken from this tower, and we all thought that the old man was bringing food to the people in this tower. But we did not dare to enter the tower, so we had to dig up some wild vegetables to eat that night, and discussed the next day while the old man went to the tower to deliver food, and we went to his carriage to steal a few boxes, and at night we thought of roast chicken, and could not sleep happily. ”

"Who lives in this tower? It takes so many wooden boxes to deliver food to them, and there are dozens of people, and these people don't come out, presumably they are locked up in the tower. Liu Zhi and Commander Cui thought to themselves on the side.

The next day we stayed there again, and sure enough, the old man came again, and some of the brothers were nimble, and they stole two wooden boxes, and we did not dare to take more, for fear of being discovered, so we had a full meal that night...... Then we tasted the sweetness, and went to steal the wooden box for several days, but the old man found that there was no ......."

"Uncle Xiahou, it's really fun for you to steal that wooden box every night!" Zhao Yan listened to what the big man said, and he should also be kind.

"No, no, that's not the most surprising!" Xia Houan shook his head and said, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and his expression was solemn, which was completely different from the expression he had just spoken.
