Chapter 101: Bandits and Bandits
King Beixiao looked at Zhou Qian's eyes as sharp as a knife, but Zhou Qian was a stinky temper who didn't eat oil and salt, soft and hard.
No matter how hoarse the king of Beixiao is, how fierce he roars, how angry he threatens.
His expression remained unchanging, his gaze was calm, and there was even a hint of ease and peace on his face.
This old puppet is clearly fearless.
King Beixiao angrily slammed the door and left, Zhou Qian looked at his back as he left, and let out a long sigh.
In the following days, King Beixiao ignored him, as if he had forgotten his existence.
He was in prison, unable to receive any news, like a deaf man with missing ears.
Zhou Qian didn't know what had changed in the court. He was so anxious that the king of Beixiao gave a death order, forbidding anyone to visit him.
In the middle of the moon, the guards of the prison were drowsy, they leaned against the wall, their eyelids uncontrollably shrugged, and after a while, they slowly closed.
Suddenly, they were suddenly awakened, Huo Ran opened his eyes, was stunned for a while, stretched his waist again, yawned a lot, and in an instant, he dreamed of Zhou Gong again.
Like loaches, two black shadows quickly burrowed into the cell.
They accurately found the cell where Zhou Qian was, and then took out a sachet and put it under the nose of the guard with the key.
The sound of the key woke Zhou Qian up, he got up, his throat was dry, and he asked sharply: "Who?" Who are you? ”
"Mr. Zhou, please come with us."
Zhou Qian looked at them with a serious face, "This official is a criminal minister, unless the king pardons him, this official will not go anywhere." ”
"Sir," the man in black said, holding out a letter, "to you." ”
Zhou Qian opened the envelope half puzzled and half curious, and read the contents of the letter carefully under the dim candlelight.
After a while, he put down the envelope in disappointment and said tiredly: "The criminal knows it, go back and tell the prince, and the criminal knows what to do." ”
"Sir, my subordinates take their leave."
Zhou Qian sat on the grass ball in despair, like a frosted banana leaf, his face was as pale as paper, and it was very ugly.
King Beixiao did not listen to the dissuasion, and ordered people to go to the city to snatch food, but was killed by Qi Xiaoyun and did not leave a piece of armor.
The courage of one of the king's puppets caused so many poor soldiers to die, which is the misfortune of the people and the misfortune of Beixiao.
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Qian was taken out, and he followed the guards silently all the way, as if he had been drained of three souls and seven spirits, and the whole person looked confused and had no spirit.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and he thought of thousands of possibilities in his head, how to persuade King Beixiao to implement benevolent government and convince people with virtue.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't do anything.
The king of Beixiao is brave and warlike, and has always tried to open up the territory of Beixiao.
However, the climate in Beixiao is too harsh, and the grain is often not harvested, and every time in the cold winter, the death toll in Beixiao rises sharply, and they are either frozen to death or starved to death.
Zhou Qian was finally brought to the royal court, he knelt in the center of the hall in disheveled clothes, his waist was straight, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The guilty minister sees the king." ”
King Beixiao looked at him expressionlessly, "You have been in prison for so many days, have you figured it out?" ”
"Well, the sinner has figured it out."
"What do you want to figure out?"
Zhou Qian raised his head, stared directly at the king of Beixiao, his eyes were clear, and he said loudly: "If the king does not listen to the words of the criminal minister, sooner or later, he will suffer a big loss!" ”
King Beixiao slapped his palm on the dragon case, was furious, and roared angrily: "Zhou Qian! ”
"Your Majesty, the criminal minister once said that banditry only relieves urgent needs, not long-term peace and stability."
King Beixiao clenched his hands into fists, and the green tendons in the corners of his eyes jumped suddenly.
"If the king really thinks about Beixiao, he should work hard to govern the country, instead of expanding the territory."
"Is it wrong for the widow to open up territory for Beixiao?"
Zhou Qian sneered, "The people can't even eat enough, what's the use of asking for such a big land?" ”
King Beixiao was not lightly angry, and he hated to immediately behead this old horseman, and save his mouth to say anything unpleasant.
"The widow told you to reflect in prison, but you are still like this, come and take off his black gauze hat."
Is this a dismissal?
Zhou Qian chuckled, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister is dedicated to Beixiao, worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and worthy of conscience." ”
King Beixiao didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and shouted: "Get out." ”
Zhou Qian was kicked out of the palace, he glanced at the towering palace wall in despair, sighed, and then left slowly.
At that time, the genius had just dawned, and Zhou Qian did not return home, but walked slowly outside the city.
He had been walking for a long time, hungry and thirsty, and when he saw that the door of a house not far away had been opened, he walked over with his legs up, trying to find something to eat.
He had just approached the house and was about to speak, when he heard someone say, "Big brother, hurry up and think of a way, the big guy hasn't eaten enough for a long time, and if he continues like this, it will not be far from the time to see God." ”
"Second brother, let me think about it again." The man was at a loss, and his temples were already a little gray in middle age.
"Big brother, I can't think about it anymore, I have to come up with a way as soon as possible, the big guy really can't wait."
He didn't want to urge his eldest brother like a life, but people are iron and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they are hungry and panicked.
Zhou Qian looked through the window and saw that the sturdy man was frowning at this time, with a helpless face.
"Big brother, let's go and do a big ticket, so that the brothers will have something to eat and can solve their urgent needs."
The other people couldn't stop nodding, grinding their fists, and the crowd was excited.
In the face of life and death, dignity is all a fart. Anyway, someone always says that he looks like a bandit, so let's take it all down.
"But..."
"Ouch, big brother, don't do it, it's very tricky in extraordinary times, and now I can't care so much, I'm holding my ass door, so don't grind and chirp."
Don't look at his eldest brother, he is tall and strong, but his personality is as soft as a little sheep. There are always too many worries about doing something, which makes his younger brother really heartbroken.
"Big brother, I think the second brother is right, so let's do it! Those merchants are in the dark, and robbing their goods can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. You say yes or no! ”
Hearing him say that, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that. The strong man hesitated again and again, and finally succumbed to the hungry lewdness. Under the authority.
"Then let's put it this way, monkey, you go out to inquire and rest, Iron Head, you go and tell the big guy, and once the monkey has news, we will be ready to act."
Shi doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but he still has a family, and there are many brothers and sisters, and the backbone is really worthless now!
"Okay, big brother, you just wait for my good news." After the monkey finished speaking, he ran out as if his tail had been burned by fire.
He ran too fast, and he didn't see Zhou Qian hiding in the corner.
seemed to see the scene of himself eating white flowers, and Tietou couldn't close his mouth with a smile, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth. kept muttering: "Big brother, this matter is on me." ”
"Alright, let's all disperse."
The big guys couldn't wait to go out, only the strong man was still sitting there with a sad face.
Zhou Qian didn't alarm them, and left there in a panic before they came out.
Before he went home, he went to Mingzheng Tower, briefly talked to Lu Anjin, and then hurried back to the house.
After a casual freshening up, he lay down on the bed, and then slept in the dark.
The next day, when the sky was still bright, he once again touched the house he went to yesterday, but today, he was no longer alone, and he had two more helpers.
Zhou Qian didn't want to alarm them, Ling Zuo couldn't, so he had to take him to the roof.
"Sir, I wronged you lying on the roof, so that you would not startle the snake."
Zhou Qian never thought that he would have a day in his life to be a gentleman on the beam.
He lightly took a few bricks, held his breath, and carefully observed every move in the room.
"Big brother, at noon today, the people from the Liu family's grain shop in the city will escort a batch of grain to Shancheng and pass by Canglan Mountain."
"Good. You go and tell them, let's go now!" ”
Before making a decision, he was full of entanglement; Once you've made your decision, you can only rush forward.
The strong man rushed to Canglan Mountain with more than 20 people, and they hid on both sides of the hillside, waiting for the prey to take the bait.
Zhou Qian, escorted by Ling Zuo, secretly observed their every move along the way.
"It's coming," the monkey who played the role of scout whispered excitedly, and the stout man took the lead after telling the big guy to pack his weapons.
"Leave the food to keep you from dying!"
The people behind him also chimed in, "Leave food to keep you from dying." ”
The little guy in charge of escorting the grain of the Liu family looked at the 'robbers' with sticks and planks with disdain.
He said impatiently: "Go, go, where is the group of refugees, what kind of bandits are you turtle grandsons, stay where it is cool, don't get in the way of the little masters." The master is busy, so I don't have time to take care of you! ”
Daring to look down on them like this, the strong man was furious, "Brothers, prepare your weapons!" ”
The big guys raised the wooden weapons in their hands one after another, just waiting for the eldest brother to give them an order to give them a few boards at any time, so that this group of dogs who have no one in their eyes can understand that they can't be too arrogant.
"Heh," the leading family sneered, "It's really a shame for you, since you are shameless, don't blame the master for being ruthless!" ”
With that, with a wave of his hand, the originally unarmed family members suddenly pulled out a bright sword from under the car board, shining silver in the light of the sun!
Oh my mother, looking at the swords in people's hands, and then looking at the wooden sticks in their hands, the men who were still arrogant unconsciously took a step back.
What are you kidding, the sword is ruthless, look at those thin and weak weak chickens, as if a gust of wind can be blown away, in case one of them can't hold it steadily, their head is not guaranteed.
But in an instant, the situation changed dramatically, and the strong man couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but the loser couldn't lose the battle, he stiffened his head and roared angrily: "Brothers, give it to me!" ”
"Humph!" The little guys snorted coldly, took a step forward majestically, and the leader smiled proudly, "Rats, take a step further, I will definitely personally send you to see your ancestors!" ”
"I," he dared to insult his ancestors, but the iron head was unwilling, and took the lead in the front, without saying a word, he raised the plank and threw it on his head, and the frightened leader hurriedly retreated, and his face was completely bloody.
Nima, where did this big and thick bear come from? Xu is iron head was too domineering just now, and the family members all stared at the iron head tightly, for fear that he would make some amazing moves next.
