The old beard was dragging a small cart and was struggling to get out of the small courtyard.

Yang Shouwen hurriedly handed the reins to Yang Rui, walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand to pull the cart, and pulled the cart out of the yard with a force of his arm.

"Old beard, what are you doing here?"

"Hehe, naturally it's into the city."

"Huh?"

"Just now, I saw that County Lieutenant Yang was in a hurry, and I felt that something was happening.

The year before last, do you remember? When the Khitans came over the year before last, County Lieutenant Yang also had that expression, and brought your family from here to the city. I'm old, but I don't want to toss anymore. Son, discuss one thing with you, I plan to devote myself to your house, even if it is better to be a porter than to be afraid all day long like now. ”

There is a way that people are old and like ghosts, and this is the case with old beards.

The year before last, Yang Shouwen still had a little impression.

At that time, grandfather Yang Dafang had passed away, and the Khitans broke through the Juyong Pass and came to the city of Changping. Yang Chenglie hurriedly took Yang Shouwen and the three of them to the county seat and stayed for about ten days. Later, those Khitans left, and Yang Shouwen returned to Hugu Mountain. I vaguely remember that that time Hugu Mountain was in a mess, and it seemed that many people died.

For example, the Han people regard the Hu people as barbarians, and the Hu people regard the Han people as equally lowly.

Since the Xiongnu, the war between the Han Chinese and the barbarians has never stopped. Even when it came to the time of the Five Hu Chaos, the barbarians were ferocious, and they regarded the Han people as two-legged sheep, killing none of the ten in the Central Plains, so that the vitality of the Han people was greatly damaged.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he opened the rule of Zhenguan, called the Khan of Heaven, and made the Hu people submit.

If it is still the Li family's world, whether it is Turkic, Khitan, including the Tibetan ethnic minorities, they will be more settled. But now it is Wu Zetian in power. To use an old saying, this is called the Chicken Si Chen. The Biansai aliens have once again spied on the Central Plains, especially in the past few years, the rebellion has not stopped, and the conflicts between the two sides have become more and more frequent.

"Old beard, you ......"

The old beard smiled and said, "Son, I know what you want to say." But I think that now that you have come to your senses, you must always have an errand runner by your side. Although I am old, I think I was also a figure who could run a horse on my arms and stand up with my fists. If nothing else, it's okay to clean the courtyard and guard the door. ”

He immediately lowered his voice and said softly: "Besides, I see that you have a lot of wonderful ideas, and you also need someone to help you, don't you?" ”

A smile appeared on Yang Shouwen's face.

The old fellow likes to brag, but when it comes to his craft, he is indeed not inferior to the craftsmen in the city.

"Old beard, you have to think about it."

"Hah, what's not to think about? Left and right is a bad old man, there is a place to settle down, and it is too late to be happy. ”

Yang Shouwen was still a little hesitant, but he saw Song lifting the curtain and poking his head out.

"Son, since the old beard is willing to come to our house, it is naturally an excellent thing.

The left and right families also need manpower, so let him come along...... Erlang, lead the cow over and put the car on the old beard. ”

Song opened his mouth, and Yang Shouwen did not refuse.

Indeed, it was time for him to find a follower, or rather, a retainer.

The eldest son of the Yang family, how can he always be alone. Although it is said that there is Yang Jasmine, what can you expect a thirteen-year-old stupid big man to do? Sometimes it's a good thing to have an old man by your side.

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen pointed at the old beard and said, "Old beard, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

"Hehe, as long as you don't drive the old man away, the old man won't regret it."

There are two scalpers at home, which can just set two cars.

After the old beard put the car on and sat in the car, Yang Shouwen signaled Bodhi to get into the car, and then hugged the four puppies to the car, and then turned over and got on the horse.

"Erlang, let's go."

"Good!"

Don't look at Yang Rui's young age, but he is very skilled in driving cars.

The Song family walked in front of their car, and Yang Shouwen followed Lao Hu Tou behind.

"Old beard, I don't know your name yet."

The old beard heard this and smiled: "The old man is cheaply named Hu Lian, Ah Lang, you still call me the old beard, it sounds more pleasant." ”

From the son-in-law to Ah Lang, there is nothing jerky about the old beard's change of words, as if everything is natural.

"Old beard, you don't really want to live for anything, that's why you want to go to my house."

The old beard saw that the Song family's car in front of him was some distance, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Ah Lang...... Let's be honest, if I really want to go to war again, I don't want to do any more conscription. In the past, every time I did conscription, it was as if I was dead. The year before last, I followed the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to Lulong. If I hadn't been smart, I'd have died over there.

I'm already at this age, and I still want to live a few days of peace.

If you can throw yourself into Ah Lang's house, you can just avoid forced labor...... In the county, it is better than sleeping outside. ”

Yang Shouwen immediately understood the old beard's intentions, but he didn't take it to heart.

In recent years, there have been too many things to hide from forced labor in the eunuch's house, and Lao Hutou's choice is not wrong.

"Old beard, are everything ready?"

The old beard rolled his eyelids and said softly: "Ah Lang only ordered it yesterday, I originally planned to prepare materials after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't think about it...... But Ah Lang don't worry, I will take everything with me, and when I enter the county, I can't say that it will be faster. ”

Yang Shouwen listened and nodded slightly.

The production of horseshoes is imperative, and it is even if he didn't have a horse before, but now that he has a horse, it can just come in handy.

At that moment, a group of two cars went straight to Changping along the official road.

When he arrived outside Changping City, Yang Shouwen saw that many people had gathered outside the city gate, and they seemed to be waiting to enter the city.

In the past, due to the attack on the county government, the atmosphere in the county town was relatively solemn.

But now, this is no longer a matter of solemnity, but a very depressing.

**The news of the rebellion of Murong Xuanwei of the Jingnan army must have spread. Changping is not very far from the location of the Jingyan Army, and if there is something going on there, Changping County will soon get the news.

"Da Lang, are you going to enter the city?"

The guard at the city gate is still that Zhu Cheng.

When he saw Yang Shouwen and his party coming, he hurriedly dispersed the people gathered outside the city and walked quickly to Yang Shouwen.

"How's it going?"

"Just now, the county lieutenant has ordered that people entering and leaving the county town should be strictly checked.

People who are not from the county are not allowed to enter for the time being...... The county has ordered people to set up a camp outside the city to facilitate the residence of refugees who have fled from the Jingnan army. The people in the city were also panicked, and everyone was scared, but fortunately there was no chaos. ”

Yang Shouwen listened to it and praised it.

"Then we ......"

"Da Lang said very much, that is, no one else is allowed to enter the city, but Da Lang must enter!

Da Lang hurry up, there are more and more people here, I'm worried that there will be chaos...... By the way, the goods have been cleaned up, and Song Sanlang's mother-in-law sent someone to pick them up yesterday. It's just that the Song family doesn't know what to do, and they are still unreasonably entangled and want to let Song Sanlang go. The villain was furious and let people beat Song Sanlang's family. ”

Yang Shouwen smiled and said softly: "Well done, after I go back, I will let that Song Saburo stay in it for a few more days." ”

As he spoke, the two strings of copper coins fell into Zhu Cheng's hands silently.

Zhu Cheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, skillfully stuffed the money into his pocket, and then turned around and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, Hugh blocked Da Lang's carriage and horses." ”

The fence at the city gate was immediately removed, and Yang Shouwen led the horse and followed the carriage into the city gate.

Outside the city gate, there were bursts of shouting and scolding.

"Why should they enter the city? I've been waiting here for a long time, why can't I enter the city? ”

"yes, we're going into town!"

The gatekeepers at the gate of the city are polite to Yang Shouwen, but it does not mean that they will be polite to those ordinary people. And they took up their clubs, and beat them severely, and scattered those who were in the forefront. Zhu Cheng shyly scolded: "You are blind to the dog's eyes, and you don't look at who it was just now?" That's the family of the county governor of this county, how can he not enter the city?

Wait for me honestly, if the county lord orders, he will let you wait to enter the city. ”

It's getting dark.

The bonfires stacked at the gates of the city were lit and the flames were blazing.

Yang Shouwen got on the horse and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

In my previous life, I hated the second generation the most, and I didn't want to be reborn again, but I actually wanted to enjoy the benefits of these two generations.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward immediately, "Erlang, speed up...... Let's go home first. ”
