Chapter Seventy-Six: Annexation

Liu Yuan and the four of them gradually moved away, looking at the backs of the four, Wang Lao waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Let's all go back." Da Niu, you continue to lead people to hunt, and we will hold on until Pavilion Chief Liu returns no matter what. ”

"Don't worry, Elder Wang, I'll take someone over." Da Niu nodded in response, he turned to look at these strong men, and scolded: "His grandmother's all work for me, Wang Erwa, you kid take a few people into the mountain with me." ”

Seeing that Da Niu could already take charge on his own, Wang Lao also smiled with relief. Then he arranged for some people to go out to chop wood, and at the same time asked people to try to see if they could catch some fish in the pond outside the cave to relieve the pressure on the rice grain.

A heavy snow covered the deep mountains, and the mountain trails were already rugged, but now it is even more difficult to get out of the mountains, many places are steep and slippery, and you may fall and roll down if you are not careful. Fortunately, with Xiahou Ying leading the way, Liu Yuan and the others were relatively smooth, but in some steep places, they would still tie the hemp rope on the trunk first, and then drag the hemp rope carefully down. The more difficult the mountain road is, the more relieved Liu Yuan is, and after the mountain is closed, it is more conducive to the hiding of the strong men.

"Soon, after that ravine, it will be considered out of the mountain." After walking through the steep and slippery place, Xiahou Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at him familiar with this place, but he is also extremely cautious.

Liu Yuan smiled and said in a deep voice: "When you get here, Brother Xiahou will return." ”

Xiahou Ying paused, then nodded, and said: "It's okay, the baby will be sent here, the ravine in front is flat, don't worry about the slippery road." Brother Yuan, take care on the road! ”

Liu Yuan should go down, "It's that Xiahou should pay more attention when everyone returns." Then, Liu Yuan took Zhou Bo and the others to continue walking, seeing that the sky was still a little gloomy, and his heart became more and more urgent, if there was another heavy snowfall, it would really be worse.

Out of the mountain, it was almost noon, Liu Yuan and the three did not rest, but continued to move forward, they wore hats, and walked in a hurry. Although it snowed heavily, there was still a lot of traffic on the galloping road, and Liu Yuan noticed that most of these caravans were heading in the direction of Peixian, which made him a little surprised.

"Brother Yuan, it's almost time to get to Surabaya Pavilion." Walking along Surabaya, more than a day, Fengyi is in front of you.

Liu Yuan stopped, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go, go to the forest to rest first, and wait until it gets dark, and then let's enter the pavilion." "His decision was a bit cautious and conservative, but it was also the most sound choice, after all, there is never a chance to be careful.

"Well, it's still Brother Yuan to be cautious." Liu Fang also nodded in agreement. So the three of them went into the deep forest, Liu Yuan took out the water bladder, this day of hurrying, he was also sore in the soles of his feet, and after drinking a sip of water, he could finally relieve his tiredness.

Zhou Bo may be really tired, the cold wind in the forest is in full swing, but he lies on the trunk of the tree and falls asleep with a slight squint. Seeing this, Liu Yuan shook his head bitterly, he took off his coat and linen gown, and then covered Zhou Bo on his body. The weather is cold and the wind is cold, if you don't pay attention, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick.

"Brother Yuan, you wear mine." Liu Fang wanted to take off his coat.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and refused: "No, your brother Yuan is strong." Okay, you can take a break, it's tired for the two of you. ”

"Brother Yuan laughed again, Fang and Zhou Bo admired Brother Yuan in their hearts, and we are all willing to follow." Liu Fang smiled and responded.

The two chatted for a few words, and Liu Fang also rested with half-squinted eyes. At dusk, Zhou Bo opened his eyes, saw the clothes on his body, he patted his head, a little annoyed, hurriedly stood up, and saw that Liu Yuan was moving his muscles and bones in front, Zhou Bo immediately rushed over.

"Brother Yuan, put on your coat quickly." Zhou Bo handed over the rough shirt, and he said to himself: "It's all because Bo is sleepy for a while, which makes Brother Yuan cold." ”

Liu Yuan put on a rough shirt, he patted Zhou Bo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "They are all your own brothers, and you are still polite to Brother Yuan?" Go wake up Liu Fang, eat some dry food, and we're on our way. ”

After eating the dry and cold rations, the three of them continued to move forward in the night, the days are short and the nights are long in winter, and there are few pedestrians on the road. When they arrived in Fengyi, the three of them were familiar with the road, and they felt the Surabaya Pavilion after a while. However, Liu Yuan frowned, there were many officials in the Surabaya Pavilion, and there were people checking at the intersection, which made him wonder in his heart, could it be that his killing of He County Lieutenant had been exposed?

"Brother Yuan, what should I do?" Zhou Bo asked with a solemn face.

"Let's go, go around the back mountain." Liu Yuan said immediately.

The three of them climbed over the back mountain, and under the cover of the night, they were cautious all the way, and then they climbed over the wall and entered Liu Yuan's home. "Who!" Hearing the noise, a soft drink suddenly came from inside the room.

The wooden door opened, and Lu Pheasant's somewhat haggard face was left with tears, and she said in surprise and choked: "Husband, you are finally back." ”

Liu Yuan gently comforted Lu Pheasant, and he said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it first." ”

Several people entered the hut, but Liu Yuan did not let Lu Pheasant light the fuel lamp, in case outsiders noticed doubts. She wiped the tears on Lu Pheasant's face, hugged the latter into her arms, and said with pity: "Ejiao, I have suffered you this time. ”

"The husband returns safely, and Ejiao is willing to suffer no matter how bitter she is." Lu Pheasant lay quietly in Liu Yuan's arms, and Yingying said.

"Ahem!" Liu Fang coughed softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Fang is a little cold." He explained with a stern face.

Lu Pheasant was a little shy, and Liu Yuan scolded with a smile: "You kid! Then he stroked Lu Pheasant's hair and said, "Ejiao, why are there so many servants in this pavilion?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant's haggard face also became gloomy, and she said with a gloomy expression: "Since the Zhuang Ding in the pavilion was escorted to Xianyang, the Zhang County Order of Pei County has occupied the kiln factory in our Pavilion, and now, the porcelain of our Surabaya Pavilion is controlled by this County Order. ”

"What?" Liu Yuan was furious in his heart, this county order actually swallowed his own kiln factory, and then thought of Xiahou Ying being imprisoned and escorting the prisoners by himself, Liu Yuan finally understood that all this was Zhang County's order.

"How can it be?" Liu Fang and Zhou Bo were also furious.

Lu Pheasant sighed, and then said: "Husband, I don't know, in order to produce a large number of porcelain, this county order forcibly requisitioned strong men in our Fengyi, and now the entire Fengyi has a lot of complaints about him. A few days ago, several strong men were oppressed and resisted, all of which were suppressed by Zhang County. ”

"I see." Liu Yuan nodded suddenly, it seems that this county order is also a greedy person, and for his own selfish interests, he did not hesitate to recruit strong men. Thinking of the various caravans he met in Qian County when he came, it seems that they should have come to trade with Zhang Xian Ling to buy porcelain.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's heart was even lowered, Zhang Xianling dared to do this, maybe he had already received the support of the major families in the county, after all, in the past, the Surabaya Pavilion only produced 100 pieces of porcelain per month, which was not enough to satisfy the appetite of the family. If you think about it a little deeper, the county guards of Surabaya County may be able to participate in it.
