readx;?“ Ahem, poof! ”

"Ahem, poof, ahem!"

Suddenly, two coughs were heard in the tranquil valley. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Guo Cheng, who was digging a pit, stopped sobbing and looked back at the big stone, and immediately jumped up.

"Mother! What happened to you? ”

Zhu Changyuan looked at the scene in front of him, smiled, and gradually put a hanging heart into his stomach to calm down.

I saw the old woman sit up from the stone tremblingly, saw Guo Cheng and said, "My son, I'm thirsty, get me some water to drink!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Tears flowed down Guo Cheng's eyes, touched the old lady's hand, and asked, "Mother, aren't you poisoned, why do you look good now?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's not time to die yet, right?" When the old woman had finished speaking, she urged, "Go quickly, get me water." ”

Zhu Changyuan asked his subordinates to bring a cup of hot boiling water, and said, "Old man, I have boiling water here, you can drink it!" ”

The old woman raised her head and looked at Zhu Changyuan and asked, "My son, who is this?" ”

Guo Cheng reacted at this time, looked at Zhu Changyuan for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?" It was your acupuncture that saved my mother just now? ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Guo Cheng knelt down and kowtowed, his head hit the ground, and there was a bang.

"Hurry up, General Ben is just doing it!"

The old woman was also about to kneel, but Zhu Changyuan hurriedly stopped and said, "Old man, you don't need it, I am your son's friend, and when I see that your old man is in trouble, I naturally want to save it." ”

Friend?

Guo Cheng looked at Zhu Changyuan suspiciously.

Zhu Changyuan asked with a smile: "In this way, the ten taels of silver that Zhang Xianzhong gave you are useless, right?" ”

Guo Cheng smiled honestly and said, "I don't need it, I don't need it, you wait a minute, I'll go and return it to him." ”

"Give it to me, I'll help you give it back to him!" Zhu Changyuan took the ten taels of silver in Guo Cheng's hand, looked at him again, and said, "Your mother and son live so hard in this mountain, and you have to be on guard against snakes and insects all the time. Why don't you go out with me and become a soldier, and you can make a name for yourself with your strength, how about it? ”

"This, this?" Guo Cheng looked at his old mother. didn't dare to agree rashly, as the saying goes, his parents are not far away, and he really can't bear to leave his old mother alone in the mountains.

"Who are you?" Guo Cheng's old mother doesn't think so, who doesn't want her son to earn a career in the future?

"Old man, I am an officer and soldier. It is the general of the imperial court and the garrison of Xiangyang City. After speaking, he said to Guo Cheng: "The guy you let go before is called Zhang Xianzhong, he is a thief, I am ordered to pursue the thief, I see that you have good talent and are very capable of fighting, it is better to go outside with me to fight for a future!" ”

Guo Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of hope for a moment, but unfortunately, after seeing the old mother, he hesitated again.

"My son. Go ahead, follow the general, I can take care of myself here, anyway, your mother and I have picked up this life. Although Guo Cheng's mother is reluctant, she still hopes that her son will have a good future in the future.

"No!" Guo Cheng thought about it for a long time, but after all, he couldn't let go of his mother, and rejected Zhu Changyuan's invitation with a guilty face.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Changyuan laughed and said, "This matter is easy to solve, if I take your mother to Xiangyang with me, are you willing to follow me?" ”

"Huh? It's true? Guo Cheng suddenly became excited.

"Nature is true." Specially exchanged a horse from the system for Guo Cheng. "Let's go." Then he asked the old woman, "Old man, will you go in a carriage?" ”

The old woman waved her hand and said, "I can ride a horse too!" ”

Boy.

Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog, no, no, no. It should be said that the tiger mother has no dogs.

Zhu Changyuan exchanged a horse for the old woman to ride alone, but he didn't expect her to ride like a fly on the horse, without any disharmony.

"General!" Guo Cheng's face was ashamed, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said: "I'm afraid the general doesn't know, my mother climbs mountains and wades through rivers on weekdays. Walking on flat ground. I was born reckless, and by the time I was eighteen years old, I was still as ignorant as a toddler, and I ate a lot of food, and thanks to my mother's ability, otherwise I would not have been able to support this uncompetitive child. ”

"What a good mother!" Zhu Changyuan praised it, and said in his heart: What mother in the world is not a good mother?

After walking more than ten miles, Zhang Xianzhong disappeared inexplicably.

But Zhu Changyuan is not worried, and the secret path can't run out of my palm.

At noon, everyone was asked to find an open space to stop, because it was the first day of the new year, as usual, all the soldiers ate a meal of dumplings, and also put a plate of cannons, and after the staple food, there were fruits, which can be described as very rich.

++++++++++

Zhu Changyuan led the troops to celebrate the New Year happily, and Zhang Xianzhong was miserable here.

There is nowhere to go, nowhere to go, nothing to eat.

"Damn, I don't believe it, such a big mountain nest, there is not even a single family, is this going to starve me Zhang Xianzhong?"

Zhang Xianzhong's hungry chest was close to his back, and he wanted to die.

"Look, Dashuai." A lieutenant stretched out his hand and pointed to the fuzzy smoke in the distance, and said, "There seems to be someone over there, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Huh? As if yes, go, go! ”

After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, he waved his hand and led fifty people towards the valley in the distance.

After walking for two quarters of an hour, I saw a hunter.

"Anyone? Oh, uncle, big brother, hello! ”

When you arrive at a house, you will say hello in a low voice, and then rob after asking about the road, this is Zhang Xianzhong's usual trick!

Otherwise, if you go up and grab it, not only will people not tell you the way, but sometimes they will deliberately point you to the wrong road, and then it will be troublesome.

"Who are you?" A father and son in the courtyard were looking at wood with knives, apparently making hunting tools.

"Hey, it's hard to put into words." Zhang Xianzhong opened the door and went in, and said: "We are officers and soldiers, and we got lost in the mountains to suppress bandits, so we came to this place unconsciously, and came to ask the villagers for directions." ”

"Asking for directions?" The young man put down his knife and fork, stood up, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Huh!" Zhang Xianzhong looked at the young man and said with a smile: "I want to lead the brothers to cross this Shennong Mountain to the Yangtze River, do you know the way to the Yangtze River?" ”

"Yes!" The young man said defenselessly, "It's just a little far, and you can't go out without ten days and half a month." ”

"That's okay, as long as you know the way." As Zhang Xianzhong spoke, his stomach growled several times, and he said with some embarrassment: "We've been hungry all the way, little brother, do you have something to eat with me here?" ”

"No?" The old man shook his head and refused: "This place is geographically remote, our father and son hunt here, and we only go home once a month, and the food we bring each time is just enough for the two of us to eat, and there are many people from the general, and we can't afford to supply it!" ”

"Hehe, it's okay." Zhang Xianzhong took out a piece of yellow-orange-orange shiny gold from his arms and said: "I don't want your food in vain, as long as you share the food with us, you can take this gold and go home to buy it!" ”

The young man looked at the ingot of gold, swallowed his saliva, and said secretly: Such a big ingot of gold, I'm afraid there will be fifty taels, if you can get it, what kind of hunting will you have, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing in this life.

"No, our food here is not worth this money at all, I will show you the way, you better go!" The old man refused again, he didn't believe that the seemingly loyal man in front of him would really use the gold to buy his own food.

"Daddy!" The young man cried out a little complainingly.

"Horses, don't be rude!" Dad walked into the house, took out some dried meat and handed it to Zhang Xianzhong, and said, "Just give you some, but I don't dare to ask for gold." ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and took the meat in his hand, instructed his men to stew soup, and then stuffed the gold in his hand into the young man's pocket, and said: "It's for you, you take it, I gave this gold to many people along the way, and they didn't want it in the end, alas!" ”

He shook his head.

Many people on the road coveted his gold and took out food for them to eat, Zhang Xianzhong immediately regretted snatching other people's things after eating, and killed them on the spot once he resisted, of course, in the end, the gold had to continue to be taken away.

Zhang Xianzhong's money, where can ordinary people afford it.

This time, however, he was impressed by the sincerity of the old man of Yamado, and decided that after robbing the grain and food, he would leave the gold to them, no matter what.

The young man was overjoyed and said, "My lord, you are so generous. ”

"You're in luck!" Zhang Xianzhong said.

"Your Excellency!" The young man took a deep breath, hesitated for a while and said: "Ma Er knows a secret passage, you can pass through this Shennong Mountain, if you walk along the secret passage I said, it will not take ten days, you can go out within three days, and the outside is Dangyang City!" ”

"What?"

Zhang Xianzhong's stunned pot fell to the ground, and he suddenly hugged the young man named Ma'er and asked, "What you said is true, you can go to Yangcheng in three days?" Three days? Three days? ”

This news is the most precious to County Magistrate Zhang, don't look at his dizziness from hunger now, but this sudden news is simply better than the ten catties of fragrant beef in front of him.

What the young man said was naturally true, the father and son were originally from Dangyang, and it was because they stumbled upon this secret shortcut that they were able to run from Dangyang to hunt here in three days.

Not only are there many prey here, but they are also stupid and can be easily hunted, so the young father and son came all year round, and now they are famous and rich in the village.

If it weren't for the gold, he wouldn't have said anything about the road.

It's a pity that a life that was originally alive was completely buried because of this secret.

"Yes, general, you can get to Dangyang in three days!" The horse repeated.

"Good three days, good three days!"

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were bright, his heart was indescribably happy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief at the sky, "Hahahahaha, Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan, how are you invincible?" What can you do to me? There is no endless road! ”

Since being chased and killed by Zhu Changyuan in these days, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes have seen the hope of life for the first time: if you can get out of this deep mountain in front of Zhu Changyuan, first replenish in Dangyang, and then go up the Yangtze River to take Xichuan, then the entire Shu land will be mine, no matter how good you Zhu Changyuan are, you Zhu Changyuan will not dare to cross the line to chase and kill me. To be continued.
