Jia Xu said calmly: "I don't know what the general is trying to do when he comes to Wuguan?" ”

Luo Zheng smiled, "You don't have to ask this, Jia Xu, General Ben only asks you one sentence, are you willing to work for me?" ”

Jia Xu said: "This, I am only shallow in my studies, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing!" ”

"It's up to you!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said, "Quickly order the people to prepare the carriage and horses!" ”

Jia Xu was also single, knowing that his life was in the hands of others, he didn't resist, so he went out to call the housekeeper immediately.

Xu Chu did not leave an inch, followed behind Jia Xu, and watched fiercely.

Jia Xu can also see that this evil man is definitely a first-class fierce man, and he is invincible to the Fuzhong family. Just because he didn't have time to react, he was taken down by this person, which shows the strength of this person's skills and quick reaction.

If you dare not cooperate, I am afraid that you will have a small life at the moment.

The carriage was quickly prepared, Luo Zheng and Xu Chu 'accompanied' Jia Xu to board the carriage, and threw the unconscious Jia An into the carriage, Jia Xu commanded, although the housekeeper was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, and drove the carriage straight to the east gate in confusion.

When we arrived at the east gate, the gate guards were closing.

Jia Xu personally stepped forward to negotiate, and the city gate guards were a little embarrassed.

The curfew is about to begin, and if you go out of the city at this time, you will definitely not be able to enter until the city opens at dawn.

Jia Xu said: "Under the general's military order, there is urgent business to go out of the city, get out of the way!" ”

The guards at the city gate did not dare to stop it, so they had to step aside.

Jia Xu, escorted by Luo Zheng and Xu Chu, boarded the carriage, and the housekeeper immediately drove out of the city.

The carriage ran all the way east along the official road, and when it ran a mile. It was already completely dark.

"Stop!"

Luo Zheng scolded, and the housekeeper was startled and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

But I wondered in my heart. How is this guy anti-guest-oriented, but instead he gave orders.

What's even more strange is why the old man is silent.

Although I had thousands of questions in my heart, I didn't dare to ask more.

The housekeeper also realized that something big might be happening.

Luo Zheng glanced at Jia Xu and laughed fiercely.

Jia Xu's heart jumped, shouldn't this guy be killed?

Luo Zheng didn't give him a chance to speak. directly slashed at the neck with a hand knife, knocking Jia Xu unconscious.

Xu Chu also lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage with the housekeeper. A knife knocked him unconscious.

Luo Zheng opened the vegetables, threw Jia Xu, Jia An's brothers and the housekeeper into it, took two war horses, and rode one each with Xu Chu. Don't stop for a moment. Taking advantage of the night, he ran east in the dark along the official road.

It wasn't until he ran for dozens of miles that he stopped and got into the vegetable garden.

Wuguan, Li Li's official residence.

"General!"

A small colonel rushed into the inner hall and bowed to Li Li: "I just received a report from the guards in the city, Mr. Jia Xu claimed that he had urgent military affairs to be done on the orders of the general, and the guards did not dare to stop him. Jia Xu went out of the city. ”

"Jia Xu?"

Li Li said confusedly: "It's dark, what is Jia Xu going out of the city for?" ”

The little colonel replied, "The villain doesn't know. Mr. Jia Xu went out of the east gate. ”

"East Gate?"

Li Li frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Is there anyone who is with you?" ”

The Colonel replied, "Only two of the family will accompany him." ”

Li Lisha's face changed, and he said: "It's not good, Jia Xu's family is not in Wuguan, didn't he abandon the official and run away?" ”

"Ugh!"

Xiao Xiao choked before he said: "Jia Xu is from Liangzhou, it is impossible for him to take refuge in the Kwantung princes, right?" ”

"This, too!"

Li Li thought about it for a while, and didn't believe that Jia Xu would go to the enemy.

Moreover, I haven't found any suspicious people in contact with Jia Xu recently, and Jia Xu really has no reason to defect.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't understand what Jia Xu was doing when he went out of the city at night.

Li Li had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Forget it, let's wait until dawn!" ”

The little colonel agreed and hurriedly retreated.

Unexpectedly, when it was noon the next day, Jia Xu still did not come back.

Li Li sent someone to look for it, and found Jia Xu's carriage on the side of the official road a mile east of the city.

However, except for the carriage, Jia Xu and the accompanying generals and coachmen were nowhere to be seen, and even the war horses were gone.

Li Li sent people all over the radius of dozens of miles, but there was no trace, as if Jia Xu had evaporated from the world.

It's really strange that such a big living person disappeared out of thin air like this.

Although Li Li was puzzled, he had no choice but to give up.

Anyway, Jia Xu is just an insignificant clerk, just leave!

Yungo, the inner courtyard of General Pingdi's mansion.

Gan Qian was absentmindedly doing the work in her hands, and suddenly felt sick for no reason, and couldn't help frowning.

The next moment, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand, got up and ran out the door.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ren Kai next to him was stunned and hurriedly followed.

When I went out, I saw Gan Qian crawling on the flower bed in the yard and retching.

"Sister, but what's uncomfortable?"

Ren Yan hurriedly walked over, patted Gan Qian twice on the back, and asked, "Do you want to ask Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”

Gan Qian's face turned slightly pale, and said, "No need, I'm fine!" ”

Ren Yan was puzzled: "Why did that sister suddenly ......?"

suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sister shouldn't be pregnant, right?" ”

Gan Qian blushed, and said with some uncertainty: "This, I don't know, it's just that I've been a little uncomfortable recently." ”

Ren Yanjiao snorted, immediately called the servant, and helped Gan Qian in very carefully.

The servants and maids spread the word of mouth, and soon learned the news, all of which were pleasing to the master.

Ren Yan was still not at ease, and ordered the servant to invite Lang Zhong to diagnose Gan Qian's pulse, and sure enough, good news came out.

The inner courtyard of the General's Mansion immediately burst into firecrackers, and the maids went in and out, which was even more lively than the New Year.

Ren Yan and Wu Zhen turned the servants and maids around, and the backyard was busy.

Maho came out of a side room and looked at it a few times, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then shrank back.

Ten miles south of Shunyang, Zhang Laohan flicked his whip. Driving oxen, holding a harrow and plow, he is plowing a paddy field.

Cattle are mild. He also has great strength and is the best partner of farmers.

The work in the fields is not only labor-intensive, but also very trivial and difficult to do.

So no matter what time it is, the farmer is always the hardest.

Ploughing is the most strenuous work in the crop field, and it is not only laborious if there are no livestock. And it's time-consuming.

Zhang Laohan's family are all long-term workers of Huang Dahu's family, and they have been in constant war and chaos over the years, and their lives are very difficult. Especially when the Yellow Turban Army was in motion. It's like the end of the world, I don't know how many families are ruined.

Even if they can't survive, there are many people who sell their children and daughters.

Mr. Zhang lost the land he relied on in that disaster to see a doctor for his two-year-old grandson. I had to sell more than ten acres of fine land. Become a long-term worker in the Huang family, and farm for jute seeds to earn food.

Every time he thinks of these bitter things, Zhang Laohan can't help but sigh for a while.

Not far away, two young men walked this way.

Zhang Laohan glanced at it, both of them were very young, and they were in their twenties.

One of them was of moderate stature and dignified appearance, like a master. It feels more imposing than the prefectural order.

The one who is half a step back is a little more majestic and majestic, as strong as a calf. The arms are thicker than a person's thighs, and they are very vicious at first glance, Zhang Laohan has lived a handful of years, and he has never seen such a strong man.

I don't know how strong it is compared to an ox, and whether it can be put on a harrow and plough the land.

Zhang Caihan thought to himself, and couldn't help but look at it, the two of them had already come closer.

"Uncle, farming is very hard!"

The young man like the master took the initiative to speak, and his attitude was quite kind.

Zhang Laohan had to stop, smacked his chapped lips, and said: "Who said no, these days, it is not easy to plant a land, and after a hard year, in the end, I can't even get enough rations, hey, life is getting more and more difficult." ”

These two people are none other than Luo Zheng and Xu Chu.

After collecting the war horse from nowhere on the official road, he asked someone to find out some news.

Luo Zheng said: "The people have no food, don't the officials here care?" ”

Zhang Laohan said with resentment: "What's the matter, in recent years, all kinds of taxes in the government have become heavier and heavier, I heard that now we are still in charge of General Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and the head tax is about to be levied to six, and many people have no way to live, hey!" ”

Luo Zheng was a little surprised, and said, "Is Nanyang still being controlled by Yuan Shu?" ”

Zhang Laohan shook his head and said: "Where do we ordinary people know about these national affairs, we just heard what people said." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, and the old man began to talk.

Xu Chu took the whip and rake the plough from the old man's hand, and drove the oxen to help the old man plough the land.

There was a crackling whip, and the originally slow scalper immediately sped up.

Zhang Laohan was surprised at a glance, "This young man can also plow the ground!" ”

Luo Zheng nodded and asked, "By the way, does the old man know who is the richest in this area?" ”

Zhang Laohan said: "I don't know if it's far away, the nearest one is Huang Mazi's house." Huang Mazi has made a fortune over the years, and I heard that some people in the government have followed suit, relying on usury to occupy a lot of good land, and the grain in Zhuangzi is about to pile up. ”

Luo Zheng let out an 'oh' sound and asked, "How much land does Huangmazi have?" ”

Zhang Laohan said: "At least two or three thousand acres, this is still close." I heard that Huang Mazi has bought farmhouses in several nearby counties, and there are dozens of villains who help him collect rent! ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "How far is the Zhuangzi of Huangmazi from here?" ”

Zhang Laohan pointed to the southeast, "That's not, you can see it from here." ”

Luo Zheng turned his head and swept his eyes, and sure enough, he found that a few miles away in the southeast, there was a Zhuangzi faintly.

The old man suddenly sighed in his heart, thinking that these two guys should not be strongmen who robbed houses and houses, otherwise how could they come to inquire about Zhuangzi of Huangmazi, I heard that these strongmen are all villains who kill people without blinking, and there is no good person.

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, Zhang Laohan couldn't help but secretly complain, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Luo Zheng found out about Zhang Laohan's abnormality, and he didn't know what he was afraid of, so he asked a few more words before getting up to say goodbye.

Xu Chu immediately handed over the ox plow to Zhang Laohan and left quickly with Luo Zheng.

It wasn't until he saw the two of them go away that Zhang Laohan breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon his face changed again, and he couldn't even care about the plow, so he hurriedly unloaded the harrowing plow, set the ox cart, and drove the ox cart home. (To be continued......)
