Chapter Eighty-Eight: The People Are Not Living
The smoke cage is cold water, there is a lonely boat on the river, Meng Ru replaced Zhao Yun to paddle, the white crane man is sitting with his eyes closed and recuperating, and the ripples are also a little bored in front of me, lying on the side of the boat and playing with his hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Be careful, don't fall off." I told the ripples.
"Got it, didn't you save me if I fell?" The ripples also raised their heads to scare me.
"Of course." I didn't hesitate at all, and if I did, I would die, and my roommates in college often had this kind of problem.
Zhao Yun looked at us, with a smile on his face, and did not speak, at this time, we were all seasonings, which made this tense and quiet atmosphere a little energetic.
"It's almost there!" Meng Ru pointed ahead.
We walked quickly to the front of the boat, and the hull of the boat suddenly sank forward, so frightened that I quickly took a few steps back: "The bow of the boat is too heavy!" I exclaimed, the white crane man sitting in the boat did not move at all, and sure enough, he had practiced.
Docking, we moved the boat to a place with dense water and weeds, and tied the boat well, now Zhou Cheng has been arrested, Xu Hong must be aware of it, it is also possible to come to the river from time to time to see the situation, and the heart of defense is indispensable, Zhao Yun suggested that the three of us and Meng Ru must constantly monitor everything around, and now the three of us are just three people, and we have no troops in Xu Hong's plate.
Walking slowly along the river embankment, the White Crane people were in the middle, followed by me and Meng Ru, and in front were Zhao Yun and Ripples.
"Get down." Zhao Yun seemed to hear something.
"What's wrong with Brother Zhao Yun?" I muttered quietly, Ripples still wanted me to make a "shhh
"Someone's coming!" Zhao Yun pointed to the path above the river embankment, we were lying in the bushes below the river embankment, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and thanks to some fog, it was not so easy to be discovered.
A group of people slowly walked from a distance on the path, dressed in military uniforms, thinking that they were Xu Hong's subordinates, as expected, Xu Hong had already sent someone to inspect the riverside, and according to the current situation, it should be Zhou Cheng.
The sound passed over our heads, and no one let out a loud breath.
"That's it!" Meng Ru saw that the patrol had already gone away and signaled to us.
The group came out of the bushes, and Zhao Yun led us up the path.
"You'd better be careful." Zhao Yun told us.
"General Zhao Yun is careful, but where are you going now?" The White Crane Man asked.
"Let's go find the prison in Jiangling first, if nothing else, Captain Peng Lai and Miss Yue'er should be there." Zhao Yun led us cautiously forward.
"General Zhao, Miss Yue'er, I don't think I will be imprisoned again." Ripple pulled his skirt and walked forward little by little, the dew was a lot, and his shoes and clothes were already wet.
"What does Miss Lian'er think?"
"Xu Hong's house or some other place where Xu Hong often goes." Ripple is really smart, I didn't expect this yet, but the white crane people were even more anxious when they heard this, "I'm afraid the little girl is going to be ruined by Xu Hong." "I can understand the heart-wrenching feeling of the White Crane people, just like the hard-working Chinese cabbage that makes the pig arch, not to mention the Three Kingdoms period when feudal etiquette was deeply rooted.
"The old-timers are worried, Miss Yue'er will definitely be fine." Ripples held the white crane man with relief.
"Little Ripple girl is really good, I hope it will be okay as you say." The white crane people looked at the ripples as if they were looking at their own children.
Not long after walking forward, a field.
"The neighborhood should be a village, so the Gangneung market shouldn't be too far away." I still remember the last time we came to investigate Cao Ying, and the road we took was different from this time, but last time Cao Ying was not far from the river, and this time I actually walked in it for so long, I was a little puzzled, but it may also be the loss of eating grass boats and borrowing arrows.
After walking for a while, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and there were only some stumps of summer rice in the fields on both sides.
"What's going on?" I looked around.
"I'm afraid it's the people's livelihood!" The white crane man bent over the ground and walked into the field on the country road.
"Alas, Xu Hong is really a harmful spirit, I should have killed him earlier today." Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, after all, now that Xu Hong has aroused public outrage, maybe adding fire can cause a people's uprising in Jiangling.
An old farmer came out of the field, carrying a hoe on his back, skinny and rugged.
"Old man, are you from here?" Meng Ru stepped forward and asked.
"Exactly." The man stood still and looked at us with some horror in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Meng Ru hurriedly explained, while running over, we also followed, and I pulled the white crane man up.
"My family has no food, spare me!" The man's feet were weak, and he fell to his knees.
"What are you doing here, old man?" Meng Ru helped the old farmer up and put the hoe aside.
"Old man, we're not bad people, let's ask you something." Zhao Yun smiled and put the spear behind him.
"What's the matter?" The old farmer looked at us.
"Now this Jiangling City is guarded by Xu Hong?" Zhao Yun asked.
"You're not Xu Hong's centaurs?" The old peasant glanced at us.
"We're not." Zhao Yun showed his intention. When the old farmer heard this, he was a little pleased: "You are here to kill Xu Hong?" That's really good, Xu Hong is too vicious. The old farmer sat on the ground, and the white crane people also stepped forward and sat with him.
"Say it." The White Crane Man said.
"Don't you know, look at this field, it was originally fruitful and a good harvest, but it's a pity that Xu Hong collected almost all of our grain, and now many people are starving to death in the villages around Jiangling City." The old farmer sighed.
"Xu Hong is too vicious, we are here to eradicate such a cancer." The White Crane people were indignant.
"Do you know where the Xu Hong military camp in Jiangling City is?" The White Crane Man pointed to the three-way intersection behind.
"To the left is to Gangneung City." The old farmer pointed to the road on the left, and vaguely seemed to see the scene of Gangneung Castle.
"Good!" The White Crane people responded.
"Who are the whom? Where does the fight come from? "The old farmer looked at us.
"You don't need to know who we are, you just know that this person is Zhao Zilong!" The white crane man pulled Zhao Yun behind him.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Zhao Yun resigned again and again, he was really embarrassed to be praised by the White Crane people like this.
"General Zhao Zilong!" The old farmer's eyes lit up and he admired it very much. "Back then, seven in and seven out, it was really famous all over the world, and now I can actually see it, it's really a blessing for three lives!"
The old farmer was overjoyed, as if he was looking forward to a great savior.
Bidding farewell to the old farmer, we walked towards Gangneung City, and Ripple distributed the few pieces of silver in his pocket to the old farmer.
