When Gou Shen and Xu Haoming treated Gou Desheng, they took Gou Desheng into the county jail with the property found in the cow dung in Gou Desheng's house, and now Gou Shen was also sentenced to exile to the border of Yelang thousands of miles away because of the property found at home.

Gou Shen doesn't think so, he thinks that Gou De is better than himself, and he only coincides with Xu Haoming for self-preservation, which is essentially different from Hu Buwei Kou Dehai in order to squeeze out Xu Haoming and frame himself.

Moreover, Gou Shen felt that he was not ruthless enough, at least sometimes he was indecisive and had the kindness of a woman.

Fighting a snake does not die, but is bitten, Gou Desheng was sentenced by Hu Buwei to finish the city, and the punishment has not yet begun, but Gou Shen himself was imprisoned in the county prison.

Knowing this, Xu Haoming should have beaten Gou Desheng to death with a killing stick, otherwise Gou Desheng would not have been used by Kou Dehai and others to attack him, so many things happened later.

However, if the contradiction between Xu Haoming and Kou Dehai Yuanxian is not resolved, he, a small Yingshui County servant, may still be cannon fodder sooner or later.

So, was it wrong for him to defect to Xu Haoming in the first place?

In three days, Gou Shen experienced being separated by Yingchuan County's Taishou Shen, robbed by masked people at night, and beheaded in the court, until now he was assigned to the border of Yelang Country, and everything seems to be a foregone conclusion.

To defend the frontier is to defend the frontier, and if there is a war, you will be a soldier to fight, and if there is no war, you will farm the land and tuntian.

In the morning, Gou Shen was found to be in prison and was escorted by two servants in a hurry while wearing torture instruments and shackles, listening to the words of this fat and thin two poor people, he must rush to the border of Yelang within a month, and if he is late, he will be punished more heavily.

Yelang Country and Dahan Kingdom Qike County are adjacent to each other, and as soon as Gou Shen heard the name, he knew that the place where he was assigned belonged to a wild land.

Xu Haoming must still have a chance to turn over, which of Zhang Chang and Yan Yannian is too guarded to report to Xu Guanghan Guozhang, and the old marquis of Xu Guanghan can save Xu Haoming from danger without much effort, but what about himself?

Throughout the ages, no one seems to be happy and happy to report the people who were assigned, Gou Shen is very indifferent, at least on the surface is very indifferent, the only fly in the ointment is that the youngest waiter in Yingshui County was sentenced to the border, and there is no one who has relatives and friends to make friends in the ten-mile long pavilion to send the wine.

Thinking of this, I was embarrassed, and I originally wanted to write a poem to highly summarize my unpaid ambition and indescribable mood at the moment, because there was no audience, no one could confide in my heart, so I gave up.

The sky is not beautiful, the three of them went out of Yingchuan County in the morning, and by noon, the sky began to flutter with snowflakes.

The snow is not big, the yellow official road has not changed color, and I don't know if there is soil on the snow or snow on the soil, the wind is whistling unscrupulously, and two errand officers, one fat and one thin, are on the left and right, and Gou Shen is silently running all the way to breathe, feeling the power of the river rushing in the body, so I don't feel cold at all.

The chains on the two arms were more than ten pounds, and although they didn't feel heavy, Gou Shen still looked overwhelmed on the surface.

At dusk, the three of them finally came to a pine forest, the fat errand was surnamed Li Ling, and the thinner one was surnamed Zhang and was called Zhang Guanghan.

Gou Shen felt that people at this time seemed to like to name themselves as "Guanghan".

Zhang Guanghan and Xu Guanghan are all Guanghan, an errand servant and a marquis, but their lives are different.

Zhang Guanghan was wearing a thick hat, and his nose was red from the cold: "Damn, I think I have to spend the night in this woods tonight, I knew that it was snowing in Ludao, and I should have stayed at the post station at noon, but now I am sorry for myself." ”

Li Ling frowned and said, "Live here? Sleeping in the wilderness? You want to die, I don't want to, hurry up, there should be residents after the mountain. ”

Zhang Guanghan said: "Look at what you said, it seems that you have walked this road, I can't do it, I want to go, you go." ”

Li Ling looked into the distance, stretched out his hand and said, "Look, there is a house on the top of the mountain, let's go there to rest for the night, if you really sleep in the woods, I will have to burn paper for you tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't, I'm not blessed, I can't give birth to your filial son."

Zhang Guanghan and Li Ling quarreled, and finally trekked to the top of the mountain in the dark.

The house on the top of the hill was originally a temple, there was no temple gate, and there was a clay sculpture of a clay figure who could not see the eyebrows inside, and it turned out to be a land temple.

The mountain was full of branches and wood, a fire was lit, and the three of them sat down around the fire, Li Ling asked Gou Shen: "Xiao Gou, you are also from Cao, this way, none of us can run away from anyone, we have no grievances with you, so don't make trouble for us, we are also polite to you, we arrived in Qike County early to recover our lives, and we can rush home before the New Year's Day." ”

The New Year's Day is the New Year, Gou Shen nodded when he heard it, Zhang Guanghan looked at Gou Shen and said: "However, I can't stand it tonight, this barren mountain and wild mountains, we are afraid that you will run away at night, so we will tie you to this pillar, so that everyone is at ease." ”

Gou Shen didn't say anything, sneered in his heart, and sat under the wooden pillar in the middle of the room, and Zhang Guanghan took a hemp rope to tie Gou Shen and the pillar tightly.

The wind was strong and made a terrible sound in the valley.

In the middle of the night, Li Ling poked Zhang Guanghan beside him, looked at Gou Shen who was sleeping with his eyes closed, stood up gently, glanced at Zhang Guanghan, and then seemed to be convenient to go out, but he walked a few steps, turned back suddenly, and hit Gou Shen's head with a whistle stick.

At this time, Gou Shen's head was tilted, and with a "bang", Li Ling hit the wooden pillar of the Land Temple with a whistle stick in his hand.

Gou Shen opened his eyes, looked at Li Ling and Zhang Guanghan who were murderous on the left and right, and asked, "Didn't you say that we have no grievances?" ”

Zhang Guanghan said in surprise: "Hey, your kid's relationship is to sleep with his eyes open, and he is quite alert, and you can avoid it if it is tied so tightly." ”

Li Ling sneered: "The matter has come to this, let you die and understand, someone paid for it, so that we ended up with you halfway." ”

Zhang Guanghan continued: "Yes, originally the two of us wanted to walk for a few more days and stay away from Yingchuan County, but it was snowing and the weather was freezing, and we didn't want to go too far, so we will send you back to heaven here." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with a dead man, do it, throw it into the ravine when you're done, and leave."

"You two seem to do this kind of thing a lot?" Gou Shen said calmly: "Since I am going to die here, please speak up, who wants me to die, and let me be a ghost on the Huangquan Road." ”

"We also want to tell you, but we don't know it ourselves," Li Ling shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, brother, I will have a good baby in the next life, and I only complain that your life is not good." ”

Li Ling said and raised the whistle stick to Gou Shen's head again, at this moment, a figure rushed in from the outside, only to hear "tom" and "tom" twice, Li Ling and Zhang Guanghan were caught by this person and thrown to the wall, the earthen wall was immediately smashed through two big holes, Li Ling and Zhang Guanghan let out a miserable cry in their mouths, and fell into the snow outside.

Gou Shen looked at Zhu Bo, who was standing in front of him like an iron tower, and his face was slowly surprised: "You, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Bo blinked his eyes and asked, "What, you don't welcome me?" ”
