Chapter Eighty-Four: The Road Officials Steal and Dig Up the Corpses
Lao Liu said: "Zilong is now his own person, it doesn't matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" and then told him about the previous one. Zhao Yun, who listened, sighed again and again. Zhao Yun said: "I didn't expect them to be framed, alas, it's really a trick." "We're out of the camp.
Looking at the winding mountains and endless roads ahead, I exclaimed, "It's time to start rushing again, damn it!" "After walking for about six or seven days, we passed through several villages, and after making supplies, we continued to hurry, because there was nothing important, so we didn't go fast.
This afternoon, we walked to a place called Yangcheng, everyone meant to go into the city to rest this time, because walking for days, everyone and horses were a little tired, so we found a local better inn to stay, in fact, according to Luoyang's specifications, this inn is also a small guest house. But in this small Yangcheng County, it is already good.
The six of us rushed in, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and asked, "How many are objective, eat or live in the hotel?" I said, "Find us three rooms first, get some food, and we'll come down and eat later." “
The shopkeeper answered and took us into the back hall, the back hall is divided into two floors, both are guest rooms, but it is very deserted. Zhao Yun asked, "Shopkeeper, has business been bad lately?" “
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "In our small place, there are not many merchants, and most of them sell some furs in autumn and winter. Coupled with the war now, there are not many people. I asked, "Then what do you live on?" Xiao Er said: "Thanks to this house, which was left by our boss's ancestors, it was converted into an inn, so there is no rent." I make some change by selling alcohol, vegetables and the like every day. “
We nodded and said nothing more. After years of war, these hotels and entertainment industries have almost disappeared except in the capital and a few large towns. Everyone's life is not very good.
Said and took us into the guest room, although the room is a little simpler, but the cleaning is quite clean, plus these are all soldiers, there are not so many problems, so everyone is still very satisfied. Zhang Fei said, "Go and prepare something to eat." More meat! Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, don't dare to say anything else, we are still very rich in this mountain, and there are pheasants and roe deer." Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Haha, that's good, go and come up." Money will not be lost to you. Xiao Er answered and left.
I turned my head to look at Zhang Fei and said, "Are you rich?" Zhang Fei said, "You have it." I said angrily: "Why don't you have any money and pretend to be an uncle, just your way of eating, we will starve to death if we can't go to Jizhou." Ge Xuan came up to play the round and said, "Everyone has been tired for several days, so it should be added." I said, "You go out without money?" “
Lao Liu said embarrassedly: "Originally, there was money, and before leaving, I distributed all the money to the soldiers who followed me." I reluctantly said, "Okay, you're so benevolent." Anyway, I can see it, you have already discussed this way to rub me. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei laughed. Zhao Yun took out the money from his arms and said, "Brother Zhongyou, if you don't have enough, I still have it." “
I hurriedly pushed it back, pointed at the three stinky and shameless ones, and said, "You guys take a look at people's realization." Zilong, don't learn from the three of them, they are hopeless. Zhao Yun smiled and picked up the money. Zhang Fei said: "Look at your little bit of talent. Don't you just rub a few meals with you, Lao Tzu was in the city back then, how many people rubbed my food, and I didn't blink. ”
I said, "You know it's back then." Do you know what it means to eat and not forget to? Liu Bei frowned and said, "You don't have to be so disgusting with us." I said, "I can save a lot of nausea before eating." With that, I put down my luggage and came out.
When I walked to the antechamber, I saw a table with a pile of large and small plates. Xiao Er said: "You eat first, and a few more will be fine immediately." "I hurriedly stopped: 'That's pretty much it. I can't afford to pay for it again. Xiao Er quipped: "Don't worry, we are not a black store, I am based on your six." The price is absolutely fair. I said, "Okay." "Then I sat there and grabbed a piece of meat that I don't know what it was and put it in my mouth, hey, don't say it, this meat tastes good.
Xiao Er saw that I was happy to eat, and introduced: "This is our specialty dish, stir-fried mountain chicken, what does the guest officer think?" I gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, yes." At this time, Zhang Fei behind him said: "Wow, there are so many delicious foods, Zhongyou, you are a grandson, and you don't call us when you serve the food, you eat it here secretly." I didn't even look back, and said while eating: "Lao Tzu paid for it, and asked Lao Tzu to invite you to go?" Zhang Fei didn't answer when he walked in, and just started eating. After a while, the rest of the people also came out one after another to sit down to eat.
When I came out, I noticed that there were few accommodations in this restaurant, and there were not many meals. I asked Xiao Er, "Is this not the time?" Why can't I see any diners? Xiao Er said, "Oh, that's right. Recently, a team came from the capital, saying that the imperial court was going to help us build an ancestral hall here, and many people in the city were requisitioned to dig the earth. It seems like a big project. “
I smiled and said, "Is there such a good person in the imperial court?" Lao Liu said: "You can't generalize, not all people are ministers." Zhao Yun said strangely: "What kind of ancestral hall is built, and the strong men of the whole city are needed?" "I also suddenly realized, yes, how big is the ancestral hall?
I suddenly asked, "Isn't it a nobleman from the imperial court who came here to build a tomb?" Xiao Er whispered: "You guessed half right, according to the grapevine, it seems that Lord Dong Zhuodong's troops have come here to find the grave." Lao Liu was shocked: "Is it an official thief?" Xiao Er nodded mysteriously. I asked Xiao Er, "Why didn't you go?" Xiao Er said regretfully: "I also wanted to go, but I have asthma, and people were afraid that I would die on the way, so they didn't let me go." It's ten big bucks a day. I was surprised and said, "I rub? Dong Zhuo's tomb robbing troops are so qualified? I thought they were all going to catch the strong men and then kill them all. “
After saying this, Xiao Eryi was scared. Lao Liu next to him smiled and said: "Are you stupid, do such a sneaky thing, like you said so blatantly, then don't do anything." But with Dong Zhuo's character, these strong men should have no good end. I think it's better for us. I hurriedly said, "Stop, your love is overflowing again, isn't it?" Eat your meal well. Lao Liu sighed, didn't speak anymore, and continued to eat.
Ge Xuan wanted to say something, so I made a look and swallowed it back. I asked Xiao Er, "How long have they been gone?" Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "It's been almost a month." I asked, "Has anyone ever come back?" Xiao Er shook his head: "I haven't heard of this." I continued, "Then there is no one for their daughter-in-law to visit?" Xiao Er said: "They were gathered and brought into Jiulong Mountain." Jiulong Mountain is too big, but no one knows where it is. I nodded and said, "Well, I said I was going to earn a few pocket money, but I can't earn it now." Xiao Er said: "How many of you are really short of money?" ”
I pretended to be a fan of money with an extremely exaggerated expression and said: "Give so much money every day, to earn a little, it is enough to entangle in the future." Xiao Er asked tentatively: "Guest officer, can you settle the account first?" "I laughed and said, 'Don't worry, I still have money for food and accommodation.'" After speaking, he took out the money and gave him the money, paid the rent for two days and before and after the meal, Xiao Er walked away from us. Not long after Xiao Er walked away, Ge Xuan said, "Your expression just now was too exaggerated. Guan Yu said: "Yes, I almost vomited when I looked at it." “
I looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Xiao Zhao, these people are honest with you, do you think I am so exaggerated." Zhao Yun smiled shyly at me and didn't speak. Lao Liu said: "You don't let me say, why are you asking so much?" I said seriously, "I really want to make some money, let's spend it on the road." Lao Liu looked at me with disdain and said, "You are the most serious person I have ever met." I disdainfully said, "Is it like you, who will immediately save people and water from fire and water when they see who suffers?" How can we have this strength at present? ”
Lao Liu said: "If they are official thieves, we can find the local yamen to report it." I waved my hand and said, "Rest for a while." Do you really think that you are still in the peaceful and prosperous era of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? Since they dare to bring the team, they are not afraid of you. Besides, it's impossible for local officials to be in league with them, right? Lao Liu thought for a while and said, "What you said also makes sense. Then we can't sit idly by, and when they finish digging, those strong men will definitely not end well. ”
I said, "You count how many of us, do you really think that you are an ancient god, and you will do whatever you want?" Lao Liu said: "Then what should I do?" I said, "I'm going to have to sneak in and find out the news." Lao Liu smiled. Only then did I reflect that Lao Liu was tricking me, pointing at Lao Liu and saying, "Hey, your grandson's eyes are all on Lao Tzu!" ”
Lao Liu said: "I knew that you would not ignore this matter if you asked so much, and I didn't know you for the first day." I said helplessly: "I have just recovered from a serious illness, please spare me, my arm still hurts." Guan Yu smiled: "Pretend, then pretend." I haven't seen you in the past few days. When you were fishing in the river that day, I thought you were better than our own arms. ”
I wondered, "Really?" I didn't notice it then. Ge Xuan heard this and said, "Yes, I haven't asked in the past few days, how is your arm?" Are there any unusual reactions? I asked, "What is an anomaly?" Ge Xuan didn't know how to answer for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, you are beyond the scope of my healing." ”
I said, "That's what happened, and you didn't recruit it?" Ge Xuan nodded. I said, "You're too irresponsible to me, aren't you?" Ge Xuan said helplessly: "This is the Nanhua Immortal who personally pressed it for you." I watched from the sidelines, but I really couldn't understand the mystery. I can only help you dredge the meridians according to the method taught by his old man. I don't know anything else, don't you have a clear heart."
I think about it, if he could understand, he wouldn't have to wander around here, and he would have played mahjong with a few of them. Ge Xuan asked again: "Are your current arms as flexible as you used to be?" I said, "So far, I haven't found anything that I am not used to, except for the black spots, which are the same as my own." ”
Lao Liu asked curiously: "Isn't there any special function?" Anyway, it's also the arm of the general under the god of war. I shook my head and said, "I don't have anyone to experiment with, or you can let me try it with a punch." "Old Liu's head shook like a rattle. Zhang Fei said, "Come on, I'll let you try." I said, "Where?" Zhang Fei said: "Beat a hair, come and break your wrist." "Actually, I was quite curious, so I agreed.
After we asked Xiao Er to remove the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Fei and I sat opposite each other. Zhang Fei held the corner of the table with his right hand, stretched out his left hand and waved it at me and said, "Come!" I sat down, holding the corner of the table with my right hand and reaching over with my left. The other four were still watching intently. I turned my head to look at Ge Xuan and asked, "He won't break my arm off in a moment, will he?" Ge Xuan said helplessly: "How fragile is it." I nodded and said, "That's good." Let's go. “
Lao Liu grabbed our fists as the referee, looked at us and said, "One, two, three." Begin! "Then I felt a force coming at me in an instant, this power was indescribably powerful, and I couldn't control it. Ah, I was seconds.
Everyone looked at me, Zhang Fei pressed my hand and said, "Are you using any strength?" It's all over in one fell swoop. You're not as energetic as my grandmother. I was not convinced, and said, "You are as strong as a donkey." I can only call it a ghost if I can win. Here, one more! This time I concentrated on it, and when I held Zhang Fei's hand, I added a little more force to shake him, Zhang Fei thought I was provocative, shook my hand hard, and grinned in pain.
Zhang Fei smiled at me, looking at me so angry. Liu Bei counted three more counts. When he shouted one, I put all my strength on my arms and wrists. Suddenly, Liu Bei next to him shouted: "Look, his arm has changed color." When I heard him say this, I also lowered my head a little and looked at my arm, and sure enough, it was not as dark as it was just now. I felt that my left arm was getting stronger and stronger, just like I didn't exert myself just now, but I obviously used all the strength of feeding at the moment when Lao Liu shouted. I saw that Zhang Fei on the other side didn't seem to have any expression, so I added a little more force.
Zhang Fei frowned slightly, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Boy, I have some strength, but I haven't used all my strength, uncle." "As I spoke, I felt Zhang Fei's strength. I also hurriedly stabilized my left hand, controlling it not to let him move over, breaking his wrist is a theory that everyone knows, if you break your wrist, then basically you have already lost, and it is a matter of time to hold on to it. So when Zhang Fei was repressing, I also hurriedly reinforced. At this time, Liu Bei shouted again: "Wow, it's already red." ”
