It's no wonder that if you go to build a wall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back.

As soon as he thought of this, Mao Caigui couldn't help but compare this with the experience on the grassland. Although he didn't stay, he also learned a lot about the things there.

For example, it seems that all the officials and the people must participate. But unlike here, although it is a conscription on the grassland, it is paid, and the points are a good thing, not only can be exchanged for food, but also for land.

But here, not only is the conscription unpaid, but they even have to bring their own dry food, tools, and so on. This comparison is really a heaven and an underground, there is no comparison!

Thinking so, Mao Caigui couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was in a bad mood, he lowered the curtain and hid in the car.

The convoy stopped and stopped all the way, and before you knew it, it was afternoon. At this time, it was already a little far away from the Jingshi, and the situation began to appear.

"Sir, there are sneaky people staring at us." Mao Caigui was taken aback by the announcement of the little guy outside, but then the little guy said, "But don't worry, master, there are thirty of our families here, and those people don't dare to fight our team." ”

Mao Caigui was more depressed, but he didn't bother with the fuss. However, after a few miles, he was a little annoyed, and when the curtain was lifted and he looked down, he found that there were only ragged people in the distance looking at this side, so he reprimanded the little servant: "Even those people, a few hundred people can't beat those thirty family members." What's more, this area has been cleared by Lu Zhongcheng, and there are so many thieves. You're going to be shocked again, you're not allowed to eat tonight! ”

When the little guy heard this, he hurriedly said that he didn't dare. So, Mao Caigui finally calmed down.

Towards the end of the evening. The convoy arrived at the predetermined town for the night.

When Mao Caigui lay on the bed, he couldn't sleep for a long time. The town was no longer as prosperous as it once was, and he had thought of it on the road. However, what he didn't expect was that there were basically no floods and droughts here, and it stands to reason that the food could survive. But what he saw was. Except for those officials' homes, there are people who have a relationship with officials, and as for the others, it is said that they all ran away to avoid servitude, and there is not one in ten of the population of the town.

Troubled times, troubled times! Mao Caigui thought so and stayed up until late at night before falling asleep.

The next day, the bones on the side of the road were visible from time to time, and suspicious people in ragged clothes were not uncommon. But maybe it's the reason for seeing too much. Even the startled little guy finally became numb and no longer surprised.

Shortly after the afternoon, Mao Caigui was drowsy in the swaying car because he didn't sleep well last night, when suddenly the car stopped suddenly, and then the little guy next to the car shouted in panic: "The master is not good, the master is not good......

This time. Mao Caigui heard the horror in the little girl's voice, he had been hurt by Jianyu once. I got up and opened the curtain to take a look.

I saw that the whole convoy came to a halt on the mountain road, and thirty horsemen drew their swords to protect the convoy, and in front of them were dense people, who were holding hoes and sickles. Long spears and knives blocked the way.

"I opened this mountain, I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass through here, leave the money to buy the road!"

The loud voice came. Let Mao Caigui confirm that they have met a thief.

The face of the leader of the family was very grim, and while signaling his subordinates, he urged the horse to take a few steps forward, and shouted: "Do you know who is in this car? He's a great ...... court."

Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by the person who shouted the robbery cut just now: "The court has made us have no way to live, even if it is the emperor's child, we are also doomed." ”

As soon as he heard this, the head of the family knew that this level could not be good. But he looked at the five or six hundred people in front of him, although they were in rags, many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, but they couldn't stand the large number of people, and if the thirty family members on his side wanted to fight a way, I was afraid that it would be impossible.

If possible, they would love to shoot their horses and run. However, the owner of the car was there, so he couldn't soak it. I had to protect the car and want to retreat.

However, these thieves were naturally sure to show themselves, and they couldn't take a few steps back, and they saw that there were also thieves coming behind them. Under the indiscriminate beating, except for some dead and injured family members, everyone, including Mao Caigui, became prisoners of thieves.

However, because he did not resist, he was not injured, and was tied up by the thieves and taken to the mountains.

Mao Caigui was tied up once by Jianlu, who eats people and does not spit out bones, and is now tied up by thieves, but he is not much flustered. After looking at it for a while, he said to the thief who seemed to be an old farmer beside him a little puzzled: "This mountain is not deep, you so many heroes gather here, aren't you afraid that Lu Zhongcheng will come and exterminate you?" ”

When the old farmer heard this, he turned his head to look at him, sighed and ignored him. Instead, a young thief beside him spoke: "What if you come, it's just a big deal." ”

This seemed to be a righteous and awe-inspiring word, but Mao Caigui heard a trace of helplessness in his words, and even a trace of sadness. He couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then persuaded: "With Lu Zhongcheng commanding the army, you have no way to survive as thieves, is it possible that you still want to defeat Lu Zhongcheng?" ”

The thief on the side listened, and even the young man who should be strong in blood did not refute his words. Because they all know Lu Xiangsheng's prestige, and they know that with the strength of their own people, they will definitely not be able to defeat the officers and troops led by Lu Zhongcheng.

Mao Caigui saw that these thieves did not look like vicious people, just like the ordinary people he had met on the road and in the villages and towns before, so he persuaded again: "Being a thief has no future, and this is not a deep mountain and old forest, so it can't be hidden at all, so it's better to disperse as soon as possible before the arrival of the official army, right?" ”

Or perhaps hearing his kindness, the old peasant-like thief turned his head and asked seriously with a bitter face, "Do you think we want to be thieves?" If he didn't escape, he must have been requisitioned to Funing to be sent to death, is there a difference? ”

When Mao Caigui heard this, he was dumbfounded. He thought deeper. Even if they were not requisitioned and sent to Funing, it would no longer be safe for Jianyu to occupy Shanhaiguan, and the land of Gyeonggi, even Shandong. For a person like himself who is rich and powerful, he can still escape to Jiangnan. But for ordinary people, there is really no choice.

As he thought, he heard the old peasant sigh: "In this world, how can we poor people live!" Although the world is big, it is a dead end, early death and late death! ”

As soon as he heard this, Mao Caigui involuntarily blurted out: "How come? Of course, there is a way to live! ”

As soon as he said this, the thieves around him looked at him as if they were an idiot.

"You don't believe me?" Mao Caigui's voice raised a lot and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard of calling it Tianjun?" (To be continued.) )
