Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng glanced at each other, Wei Shuisheng squatted down and put down Li Xiaoyi, Li Zongliang turned his head to look at Li Erhuai, his voice was relaxed and full of joy: "It's better to be careful, Shui Sheng and I will go to explore the movement first, if nothing happens, tomorrow morning, we will turn around and go back to Chizhou City, and it will only take half a month to go back to Chizhou City." ”

"I'd better go." Li Xiaoqi stood on the ground and jumped a few times, moved his hands and feet, bent his eyes and said with a smile: "There is really something, and it is also a matter for you to escape, it is most suitable for me to go." ”

Li Zongliang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's right, then let's go further, you can go closer to the city gate, in case anything can rush over, just go there," Li Zongliang pointed to a very small forest not far from the city gate: "Go there first, that forest is not far from the city gate, don't enter the city, don't go into the city, go to the city gate and come back quickly." ”

"Hey!" Li Xiaoqi agreed crisply, and several people walked into the forest with easy steps, Li Xiaoqi took out his indigo purse from the blanket on Li Erhuai's back, put it close to his body, and walked towards the city gate leisurely.

Close the city gate after dark, this is the dead rule of Wu Land, at this time, it is not far from the time of closing the city gate, outside, the pedestrians who are still a little far away from the city gate are following their steps, hurrying to the city, in case they are almost locked out of the city gate, this night can be difficult, close to the city gate, the steps will be leisurely, at this time, into the city, go home, the hour is still early, do things, this hour is late, and you can't do anything, you don't have to worry. There are also some people who are in a hurry to get out of the city, and the steps are even more hurried, and going out of the city at this time is either a very urgent matter, or it is a delay in Chenguang, and they all have to hurry.

The small vendors who set up stalls next to the city gate also began to gossip loudly, slowly collecting their things, ready to end the day's business. In the cave of the city gate, seven or eight idlers gathered together, looking at the new notice on the wall.

Li Xiaoqi walked to the city gate, paused, looked up at the words written on the city gate, this place is called He County, in Changfeng Building, I seem to have heard Da Liu talk about it once or twice, Xiao Wei in the back kitchen seems to be from He County, here is not far from Taiping Mansion.

Li Xiaoqi followed the crowd into the city gate hole, and also followed the curiosity to come over, looking up at the notice on the wall, there was a notice and four portraits posted on the wall, Li Xiaoqi swallowed his saliva heavily, the four portraits, there are three paintings vivid, in order is Li Zongliang, Li Erhuai and Wei Shuisheng, only Li Zonggui's portrait looks a little plausible. Who drew this? But a few lines, how can they be drawn like this, like this? There's really everyone there! It's just that the painting is too fierce, her brother is mild-tempered, how can he be so fierce!

"What are you talking about?"

Behind Li Xiaoqi, an old man in his forties and fifties asked the guard at the door, and the old man glanced back at the notice on the wall, and raised his chin at the portrait: "Those are all murderers, they have something to do, and they killed the officers and soldiers of the Taiping Mansion, if they see it, stay away." ”

"You can't hide! If you see this, you will have five taels of silver to earn! If you are lucky, you may be able to earn ten taels! If you dodge, you will hide this silver! A porter in his thirties next to him, resting his feet on his burden, looked up at the portrait on the wall, and said with a yearning face, and the old man spat at him: "You don't open your eyes to see, is it the silver you can earn?" On top of that, four people, killed more than 20 officers and soldiers! Those are all the soldiers of the Taiping Mansion, not the leftovers of guarding the door like me! ”

"Say it's more than twenty, how can you believe it all if you say it to the government!" A young man in a long robe next to him interjected, and the old pawn glanced at him, waved his hand and continued: "Then according to half of it, there will always be ten people, right?" Four kills ten, or counts as eight, so calculated, that's also one to kill two! Besides, that's the Taiping Mansion Army! The guys in their hands are all imperial systems! It's definitely better than what they have in their hands! How fierce that is! I also earn money, I really bumped into it, it's good if you can pick a life! Don't stare at the silver with black eyes! ”

Everyone laughed and made amusement: "It's not! This silver, I'm afraid that you have a life to earn it, but you don't have a life to spend it! ”

Li Xiaoqi also laughed out loud with everyone, and what she laughed at was that the old pawn directly reduced the more than 20 officers and soldiers on the notice to eight at once! It seems that the wind of false reporting up and down in this Wu country is extremely strong, so that even the old guard of the door clearly understands this!

"Alas!" The old man looked up at the portrait carefully, sighed, and sighed with the old man: "The world is chaotic! Look at it, such a young man can be so cruel! This world is going to be chaotic! ”

"Not really! There is a war going on in the south, and there is another war in the north, and the world is either too peaceful, and it is not peaceful every day! The old man took the words and sighed.

Li Xiaoqi looked up at the notice written in very white, listened attentively to the gossip of the crowd, listened to it for half an hour, and then slowly took a few steps back and squeezed out of the crowd.

Li Xiaoqi walked out of the city gate cave and let out a long breath, five taels, counting himself, one person is worth one tael of silver, even if he is captured alive, it is only two taels of silver, but two plates of Ejiao dates, it is really cheap enough! It seems that the government didn't take them seriously, but just issued a notice as usual.

Li Xiaoqi was depressed and a little unhappy in his heart, those people were not killed by them at all, they were killed by arrows, those arrows were still on the dead people, those officers and soldiers chased all the way, knowing that the eldest brother had no arrows, they must also know that it was not the eldest brother who killed them, they were in the Taiping Mansion, because it was a foreigner who was taken by the chief of the security guard, at this time, he was brought out to kill the god again, alas!

Li Xiaoqi withdrew from the city gate hole, followed the crowd of people who were rushing out of the city, looked left and right at the vendors at the city gate, and saw a man selling steamed buns, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Uncle, are there any steamed buns?" ”

"Yes, yes, there are seven or eight, how many do you want?"

"Give it all to me, I have food in my pocket, and I don't panic."

"This little brother is really right, but that's not the case! My steamed buns, one big money, will be closed at this time, if you take them all, let me see, a total of nine, you give eight big money! One more is my free gift. ”

Li Xiaoqi lowered his head and took out eight big coins from his purse one by one, clicked it again, handed it over, and the seller of steamed bread took the money, wrapped the steamed bread in mulberry paper, and handed it to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi held the steamed buns, and rushed to the grove with the hurried steps of the crowd out of the city. The steamed bun seller ran out of steamed buns, hummed a little tune happily, and closed the stall and entered the city.

Li Xiaoqi flashed into the woods, handed the steamed bun to Li Erhuai, and talked about the notice in the city gate cave in detail, Li Zongliang had a calm face, stayed for a long time, and suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, Wei Shuisheng hurriedly squatted down, and called him anxiously: "Big brother!" ”

"It's that I'm useless, I hurt everyone, and now I'm being arrested by the picture, and my father shouted before he died, let me take care of everyone, me! It's useless! Li Zongliang wiped his tears with his palm, choked up and couldn't go on, Li Erhuai was smiling and holding a steamed bun to hand it to Li Zongliang, seeing this, he hurriedly stuffed it back, holding the steamed bun and squatting in front of Li Zongliang and persuaded: "Big brother, what are these words, none of us have harmed anyone, we are not to blame for this, that person was not killed by us, I knew this, I shouldn't have left my hand at that time, just beat him to death with an ancient brain!" ”

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Li Zonggui kicked Li Erhuai with his foot, squatted down and persuaded Li Zongliang: "Big brother, don't think so, the five of us, even brothers and sisters are not so close, how can anyone hurt whom?!" This is our life, big brother, think about it, even if there is no such thing, we are also deserters! ”

"That is, if you don't escape, maybe you will be killed in a battle!" Li Erhuai hurriedly said.

"Erhuai is right, if you don't escape, maybe this life will be sent in." Wei Shuisheng smiled with a smile, and his voice relaxed Li Zongliang, Li Xiaoqi pushed Li Erhuai away, squatted down next to Li Zongliang, stretched out his hand to hold Li Zongliang's arm, bent his eyes and persuaded with a smile: "Brother Erhuai is really right this time, don't people often say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, this escape is to escape from our five lives, if we don't escape, we will not be able to live!" Besides, look at it like this, the Taiping Mansion is not very peaceful, if the Taiping Mansion is also slaughtered like Ning'an City one day, we will escape from this time, and we will escape another catastrophe! This is all our blessing! ”

Wei Shuisheng shook his head and laughed when Li Xiaoqi said, Li Erhuai was said by Li Xiaoyi's "It's really right", and laughed proudly, Li Zongliang stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Xiaoyi's head, and said with tears and a smile: "My sister will also persuade people, let's be afraid that we won't be able to return to Chizhou City at this time, and we can only leave our hometown in the future." ”

"If you can't go back, you won't go back, let's just go all the way east and go to South Vietnam! Where the water and soil do not support people! Li Erhuai took a steamed bun out of his arms, handed it to Li Zongliang, and said nonchalantly, Li Zonggui reached out and took out two steamed buns from Li Erhuai's arms, handed them to Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng, and took over the conversation with a smile: "That's it, where the water and soil don't support people, besides, it's okay, we are deserters, and it's not appropriate to go back to Chizhou Mansion, it's better to go to Nanyue at all, I heard that Nanjiang City is more lively than Taiping Mansion, just take a look!" ”

"Erhuai and Guizi are right, whether it is Chizhou City or Taiping Mansion, they are all foreign lands, and there is no difference between them and Nanjiang City, and our village can't go back anyway •••••• our village." Wei Shuisheng took the steamed bun, and in the end, his smile faded into sadness, he lowered his head, Li Zongliang reached out and patted Wei Shuisheng's shoulder heavily, and the five of them fell silent for a while.
