"The green forests and green waters are good rivers and mountains, the iron hooves have stepped through the smoke, how can the family return with blood and tears, and Ziyang can be safe under the rule!"

A group of children are playing happily on the edge of the field, holding hands, and singing such a hymn in their mouths.

This is a folk poem widely circulated by the people of Jingzhou, describing the great rivers and mountains with green mountains and clear waters, full of war and smoke, the people shed blood and tears, homeless, sad and difficult days, and the last sentence is to praise Wang Xu.

Wang Xu's word Ziyang, Ziyang was originally called by people close to him, and the word Ziyang was used in the poem to set off the people's kindness to him, describing that under his governance, he could get a stable and prosperous life, and he was loved as a family member.

At this moment, Wang Xu happened to take Xu Shu, Zhao Yu, Cai Yan, Diao Chan, and Xiao Min, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Rong, five personal maids, passing by. All of them were coarse linen, but they looked a little different on their horses, and there were spy guards in the distance in the rear, in groups of three or five, protecting their safety at all times.

Zhao Yu is no longer young, and he is not soft when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, but his mind is still as lively and straightforward as back then. I listened to the children singing for a long time, but I was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Xu, listen quickly, are the children over there singing you?" ”

Of course, Wang Xu was very happy in his heart, how could he not be happy to be so loved by the people, so recited? It's just that when people praise them, they still have to be reserved, and they can't shout happily. "Wow! It's singing me, it's singing me! Listen, this is a song of praise to me! ”

He is also the lord of Jingzhou, and he is not a crazy girl like Zhao Yu, where is the majesty?

Facing Zhao Yu's excitement. Wang Xu smiled slightly. But he was silent. Instead, he turned his attention to the croppers who were working in the fields.

It can be seen that their faces are full of happiness and satisfaction from the heart, doing farm work, and sometimes shouting and laughing with their neighbors, and sometimes taking time to look at their own children playing in the distance, worried about falling and bumping.

Seeing that he ignored her, Zhao Yu suddenly raised his mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xu, I'll talk to you." Did you hear that? ”

"Ahh Oh, I hear you! Wang Xu said casually.

Zhao Yu was speechless for a moment, and scolded angrily: "Brother Xu, you ...... You're mad at me! ”

"Hee-hee!" Seeing her angry appearance, Xu Shu and the other women all chuckled.

Xu Shu immediately smiled and said, "Yu'er, you just ignore him, isn't this boring?" Let him go alone, he will naturally come to you, and you will clean him up! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu's eyes suddenly glanced at Xu Shu inadvertently. But Xu Shu didn't buy it at all, pretending not to see it. I sighed in my heart at the moment. This Xu Shu is not easy to teach, and she always reveals her old bottom.

However, Cai Yan was much more elegant, covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, and said softly: "Sister Yu, Brother Xu is happy in his heart, but it is not good to show it." ”

Diao Chan's charming and moving smiling face at this time, like a delicate flower that is about to bloom, heard Cai Yan's words, and echoed softly: "That's it, Sister Yu, how can anyone praise herself, and she is still excited!" ”

The two of them originally intended to persuade Zhao Yu, but they didn't expect Zhao Yu to blink his smart eyes, but he asked Hanhan, "Isn't it okay?" But when people praise me, I'm very excited and happy! ”

"Uh......"

The girls were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, and the flowers and branches trembled, and then they remembered that saying this to Zhao Yu was pure nonsense.

Even Wang Xu smiled and interrupted: "Okay Yu'er, I heard it, let's go, you can go ten miles to the land of Juntun!" ”

"Hmm!"

The women chattered and said something out of tune all the way, but Wang Xu was not interested at all, just hurried away, observing the lives of the people from time to time.

After most of the hour, I finally saw the endless fertile fields, which was a military camp in Jingzhou, where when there was no war, the sergeants had to take turns to do farm work, and if the sergeants were busy with training or warfare, then they would let those who committed crimes, or recruit some civilians to do it.

Wang Xu came here, firstly, to inspect the results of the military cantonment, and secondly, to visit a person -- Huan Su, who was sentenced to eight years of hard labor!

His sudden arrival caught the stewards and generals of this military camp by surprise and greeted them with fear.

"Greetings to General Wang, and I hope that the general will forgive his subordinates for the crime of failing to welcome them from afar!"

"It's okay, you don't know that General Ben is coming, get up!" Wang Xu waved his hand casually, then walked forward, and asked casually, "Huan Su is here?" ”

The steward was shocked, and he didn't know why Wang Xu mentioned this criminal minister who spread all over Jingzhou, but he quickly nodded and responded: "I am working in the fields!" ”

"Hmmm! Take me there. Wang Xu nodded, and then said: "Also, send two people to send your account books, I'll take a look!" ”

"No!" The group of stewards did not dare to hesitate, and immediately two of them hurried away.

After a while, the group walked to a field in the eastern district, and the leading steward looked around, and pointed to a farmer who bent down to cut rice in the distance and said, "General Wang, that person is Huan Su!" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you first accompany General Ben's wife to walk around here, General Ben is going to see him!" ”

"No!" The steward's mind was quite lively, and he immediately changed his direction, and introduced the surroundings for Xu Shu and the others, and his mouth was very well-behaved, which made all the women very happy.

Wang Xu didn't care so much, looked at the stretching golden rice fields, stepped on the narrow field in the middle step by step, and walked towards Huan Su.

As he got closer, he could already see Huan Su clearly. Dressed in tattered clothes with numerous patches, he was standing bare-legged in the muddy rice field, his waist bent deeply, and he was cutting the ears of rice one by one. Although the weather is very cool today, there are huge beads of sweat on his forehead, and he has to wipe the sweat with his arm from time to time!

This scene deeply touched Wang Xu.

Huan Su was concentrating on cutting the ears of rice, not noticing the people behind him, and Wang Xu was not in a hurry to speak, just watched quietly and was silent.

After a long time, it wasn't until Huan Su straightened up and stretched his sore waist that Wang Xu called out leisurely: "Bo Xiu! ”

Huan Su suddenly turned back in astonishment, and spontaneously came here with labor. He hadn't heard it that in a long time.

waited to see Wang Xu's tall figure. Familiar faces. Instantly trembled, didn't care about the mud, and fell directly to his knees in the field. "Sinners, meet the general!"

Seeing this, Wang Xu rushed down to the field in an instant, holding Huan Su's arm: "Bo Xiu, please get up quickly!" ”

Seeing that Wang Xu was actually wearing clothes and rushing into the field, Huan Su couldn't help but hurriedly say: "The general can't be like this, don't get your clothes dirty!" ”

"It's okay!" Wang Xu stopped Huan Su's tugging hand. Looking at him in the prime of life, the furrows on his face suddenly increased, and he couldn't help sighing: "Bo Xiu, you hate me? ”

"What did the general say!" Huan Su didn't care about answering, but instead pulled Wang Xu to walk up to Tiankan.

Wang Xu was not persistent, strode onto the field, and shook his trouser legs soaked in mud.

At this time, Huan Su sighed and replied leisurely: "General, how can the sinners hate it." I have made a great mistake, and I deserve it! But it is a negative general's kindness. Guilty and restless every day! If it weren't for the general's point of atonement for the sinners, the sinners would have died a long time ago to thank the world. ”

"What are these words, don't commit suicide!" Wang Xu shook his head and said helplessly: "I made a special trip to visit you this time, but I was worried that you wouldn't be able to think about it!" ”

These Huan Su were finally stunned, but they didn't expect Wang Xu to come to see him this time, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, he only felt remorse in his chest, and a hot current surged into his eyes. "General......

When Wang Xu heard this, he slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Bo Xiu, don't call me a general, although you are guilty, you will always be my retainer!" ”

"Lord!" Huan Su couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, and he knelt down on the field with a "poof": "The sinner is sorry for you, the sinner is sorry for you!" ”

"Besho don't want to do this!" Wang Xu stretched out his hand to help him, his heart was very touched, and he said with emotion: "You and I are both ministers and friends, you are like this, I am also very uncomfortable!" ”

"Lord!" Huan Su couldn't get up alive, and knelt on the ground and cried into tears.

Wang Xu knew that he felt guilty and uneasy, but he didn't know what to say, and after looking at Huan Su for a long time, he finally said the biggest meaning of this trip: "Bo Xiu, eight years have passed in a hurry, I hope you don't take your own life in vain, and don't fall into remorse, there are many great sages who have made mistakes in ancient times, and there are many great sages who have been imprisoned, you have to look forward, atone for your sins, reflect on your own mistakes, there are still opportunities in the future!" ”

"Eight years later, I'm waiting for you to come back, I'm waiting for you to come back to the General's Mansion!"

"Lord......" Huan Su let out a sad cry and buried his head deep in the ground, unable to bear it for a long time!

"Hey!" Wang Xu sighed heavily, didn't say anything more, didn't know what to say, turned around and left, he knew that there was no point in continuing to stay.

Huan Su kept kneeling on the field, moved and ashamed, not knowing how to face Wang Xu, until Wang Xu's figure walked away, then he raised his head and shouted in pain: "Lord, the criminal will live up to your hopes in this life!" ”

Wang Xu heard the voice from a distance, and suddenly turned around, with a bright smile on his face, which was more dazzling than the boundless golden ears of rice.

"Bo Xiu, not only don't bear me, but don't lose Jingzhou, the world, and yourself! I won't come to see you again in eight years, I'm waiting for you in the General's Mansion, eight years later, I want to see the righteous and righteous Huan Boxiu who is determined to help the world and is peerless! ”

After speaking, Wang Xu never looked back, and left with solid steps.

Huan Su trembled, bowed deeply, and raised his head again, his eyes were already firm, and all the haggard and dead air was removed......

Subsequently, Wang Xu inspected this military cantonment, found no problems, praised the responsible stewards and generals on the spot, and after admonishing them, he set off to return to Xiangyang.

On the way, he seemed a little calm and depressed, Xu Shu and other women looked at his face, knowing that he was in a bad mood, and he was also playing with himself, so he didn't pay attention to him.

Several women chattered and laughed, and after a while, they ran far to the front, leaving Wang Xu alone behind. Wang Xu was also happy to be clean, riding his horse slowly, experiencing the beauty and tranquility of the autumn wilderness.

At this moment, it was not early, and the croppers in the fields stopped to rest, and after a while, they returned home to eat. Nearby, on the side of the road, there was a simple peasant woman, wearing a straw hat, resting alone.

Wang Xu looked at it for a while, and he didn't care too much, but he felt that the back of this peasant woman looked quite temperamental, and her figure was actually good, which was rare.

On weekdays, the war horse that Wang Xu rode was not the black hoof frost snow beast white frost, but the black Jun who followed him to travel the world for two years.

At this time, Hei Jun had just walked five meters behind the peasant woman......

Suddenly, the seemingly ordinary peasant woman's figure moved, she was already flying and jumping, a beautiful turn, the lotus foot lightly on the ground, straight to the ground, the sword rushed to Wang Xu's heart, and the mouth was coquettish: "The dog thief is here!" ”

It's fast, almost in the blink of an eye!

But Wang Xu reacted so quickly, when his figure just moved, he was already with a sword in his hand. Because it came from the left, she held the sword in her left hand and swung it, and the sword momentum of the future person was slapped away, and she was shocked to fly out three or four meters before she turned around and stabilized her figure and landed.

"What kind of woman dares to stab me!" Wang Xu shouted loudly.

At this time, the woman stabilized her figure, just turned around, Wang Xu saw his face, and was instantly stunned, but the woman was already unwilling to bite her lower lip and swung her sword again.

When Wang Xu saw that pretty face of grievance, resentment, resentment, and sadness, he already knew who she was, it was Zhang Ning, who was full of classical beauty, the daughter of the late Yellow Turban Thief Shou Zhangjiao.

When Wang Xu broke through Guangzong, he was entrusted by Zhang Jing to release the young Zhang Ning, and took it as a representative of his own goodness, and later Zhang Ning pretended to be a dancer and assassinated unsuccessfully, Wang Xu also released him.

Knowing who it was, Wang Xu couldn't help but withdraw a few of his strength, swung his sword away again, stepped on the stirrup with his legs, and jumped off the horse, standing firmly on the ground: "You're here!" ”

"I'll kill you!" Zhang Ning shouted angrily, swung his sword and attacked, and Wang Xu waved his sword to resist.

At this moment, the people in the distance saw this scene and thought it was a vendetta, how could they not be afraid? Instantly packed up his things, hugged the child playing on the side and left, and after a while, there was almost no one to be seen.

Xu Shu, Zhao Yu and others in the distance heard the crisp sound of weapons colliding, and found that there was movement here.

Zhao Yu was so angry that his face turned red, and before anyone arrived, he was already loud and coquettish: "Where did the demon girl come from, she dared to assassinate Brother Xu!" ”

"Wait!" Seeing Xu Shu and Zhao Yu rushing over, Wang Xu also stretched out a hand to signal during the fight to stop them from coming.

Xu Shu was puzzled, stopped ten meters away with the women, looked at Wang Xu suspiciously, looked at each other with the women, didn't know what it meant, and immediately signaled Xiaomin's five maids to protect Cai Yan and Diao Chan, who don't know kung fu...... (To be continued......)

PS: One more arrives! Whew!
