Chapter 26: The Secret Edict
Passing through the small courtyard, the three of them followed the man into the hut, and saw a middle-aged woman in disheveled clothes. The woman screamed when she saw Xie Chengbin, hurriedly saluted Xie Chengbin, and then ran out of the house. With the help of the oil lamp, Xie Chengbin saw that the man was a man about forty years old, with good facial features, not fat or thin, about one meter eight tall, taller than Xie Chengbin, and the word nervous was written on his face. Xie Chengbin took out a money bag from his waist, which contained a hundred five-bead coins, and handed it to the man. "Thank you for taking me in for one night, I am very grateful, this is a certain point of heart."
The man obviously swallowed a mouthful of water when he saw the money bag, but he didn't dare to take it, Xie Chengbin had to stuff it over, but who knew that Xie Chengbin had only taken a step, and the man was so frightened that he ran out of the house! made Xie Chengbin confused, subconsciously touched his face, and said in good conscience that although he was not handsome enough to fascinate thousands of girls, he would not look so scary! Why did the two of them see themselves as if they were ghosts?!
Xie Chengbin shook his head, let the guards and Ding Jie rest, and took off his wet clothes and twisted them again. At this time, a person walked into the room with a tray, the person lowered his head, Xie Chengbin couldn't see the person's face, and could only judge that it was a woman by the other party's chest. The man put the tray on the desk, turned his head and glanced at Xie Chengbin, and the two of them were startled at the same time! All exclaimed! "Ahh
At the same time as the two exclaimed, Qin Wei and Ding Jie were also startled! Ding Jie thought that someone was going to harm Xie Chengbin, so he immediately pulled out his long sword and rushed to the woman's back and slashed at the woman's head! said that it was too late, Xie Chengbin wanted to stop Ding Jie, it was too late, and he didn't hesitate to hug the woman and twist it hard! The tail of the long sword almost slashed Xie Chengbin's neck! Fortunately, when Ding Jie saw Xie Chengbin hugging this person just now, he withdrew his strength in time, if it were someone else, Xie Chengbin might not be able to save his life! Even if Xie Chengbin has a virus to enhance his physique, if his head is cut off, no matter how powerful he is, he will die!
"The subordinates are guilty! Please give death to the Lord! Ding Jie knelt on the ground and held his sword high with both hands. I don't know if Xie Chengbin heard Ding Jie's words or didn't bother to respond, he didn't speak, just looked at the girl in his arms, his eyes were a little moist. I don't know if it's fate or coincidence, the girl in my arms looks exactly like Chen Lanwan (the future Zhang Meizi)! Although he knew that the person in front of him just looked like her, Xie Chengbin couldn't help but look at it twice.
The girl had come back to her senses, and now she was being hugged by a strange man, so she was so embarrassed that she twisted her head to the side and didn't look at Xie Chengbin. Xie Chengbin realized what he was doing, and hurriedly straightened the person and asked her to stand by herself, and when she retracted her hands, Ding Jie knelt aside. "Yongyan go and rest"
Ding Jie silently retreated when he heard this, returned to the position just now, and regardless of his soaked clothes, he picked up the bright silver gun that was resting aside and wiped it slowly. The woman also turned around and left, but was stopped by Xie Chengbin. "Wait! A person asks himself if he has no malicious intent, why do you panic when you see a certain person? ”
The woman stopped when she heard this, turned her head and glanced at Xie Chengbin, her expression was complicated, she stopped talking, walked to the side of the case, picked up a white cloth from under the desk and handed it to Xie Chengbin. Xie Chengbin didn't know why, took the piece of cloth, spread it out and looked at it, and was dumbfounded! I saw my own appearance painted on the white cloth! Although there is no color, the author of this painting is very powerful, and he can see it at a glance by painting his own picture vividly! "This ......"
"Some time ago, an old man passed by here, begging for water in the humble house, and when his parents were away, the slave family received this old man. When the old man had drunk the water, he took it out of his sleeve and told the slave that 'this man will definitely bring a plague of blood and light, and if he receives the favor, he will definitely die, and he should leave, otherwise there will be nowhere to escape.' When the parents returned, the slave family told him, and the parents thought that the man was a sidewalker and did not think so. Today it is ......," the girl finished speaking, and began to cry.
Some time ago? Uncle? Could it be Zuo Ci? No wonder the middle-aged man didn't dare to collect money, so what should I do? Take them away? Does this count as a favor? Or do you want to leave on your own? Thinking of this, Xie Chengbin saluted the girl. "In that case, then leave below."
The three of them walked out of the hut, and the heavy rain had stopped. came to the gathering place, let Ding Jie and fifty guards stay, and left most of the money to Ding Jie, secretly protect them, and return to Jinan if nothing happens within half a year.
The next day, the remaining 50 guards followed Xie Chengbin to continue their journey, passing through more than 10 counties such as Dongjun, Juye, Shanyang, Rencheng, and Luguo, and made a big circle, stopping and stopping along the way, as long as seven days, and finally returned to Jinan safely when they almost ran out of food. It's not enough to go home empty-handed, at least your riding skills have improved a lot, and you can ride a horse without the reins.
Just arrived in Jinan, looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Chengbin really didn't know what to say. Many crops were ruined, watermills were destroyed, and there was a mess...... That's life-saving food! I don't know how much is left to harvest, alas!
Entering Dongchao County, the streets and alleys were full of patrols, and I didn't see a single citizen. These soldiers looked very unfamiliar, none of them were more familiar, and the guards were quite tight, Xie Chengbin was very satisfied. When he came to the county office, he was stopped by the guards, showed his official seal, and let him go. When I came to the lobby, I saw a few generals discussing something around the case, and when I got closer, the person facing Xie Chengbin's side turned out to be Yu Ban! "What are you discussing?"
Several people turned their heads when they heard this, their expressions were different, Yu Ban was very surprised, and the others (who didn't know Xie Chengbin) frowned, confused. Yu Ban showed a smile after being surprised, and quickly stood up and clasped his fists in salute. "Brother Zibin is back!"
"If you don't see each other for a day, how are you doing lately?" Xie Chengbin smiled slightly, I don't know why, I have a sense of hometown when I come to Jinan, and I have a sense of intimacy when I see Yu Ban. However, when Xie Chengbin asked this, Yu Ban's smile suddenly froze, replaced by a look of shame, and he walked to Xie Chengbin and knelt down heavily. "A few days ago, the Yellow Turban thieves came to commit crimes, a certain incompetence, and the fertile land outside the county was destroyed, which disappointed Brother Zibin's high hopes, and he was willing to apologize with death!"
Hearing Yu Ban say this, several generals who had discussed with Yu Ban just now also knelt down one after another. After a moment of silence, Xie Chengbin sighed and helped himself up. "There is no sin in forbidden, but meritorious! Soon after the recruitment of soldiers, there was a lack of training, and I saw that there was no blood on the streets and alleys, which proved that the thieves did not enter the county, which is quite rare! Therefore, it is understandable that the land cannot be saved. What is the situation in the rest of the counties? ”
"When the Yellow Turban thieves came to invade the northern city, Ci led the troops to defend, and the evil brother led the elite cavalry to reinforce, and there were not many destroyed fields, Ci suffered some skin injuries, and there was no major problem, and there was no war in the west and north." Yu Ban told everything he knew.
When the people in Dongping Lingcheng heard that Xie Chengbin was back, every household was full of lights and beaming, as if they were going to celebrate the New Year, which shows how high Xie Chengbin's reputation is here. The avenue at the entrance of the south city was crowded with people on both sides, men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, shoulder to shoulder was quite crowded, all standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks, eager to turn into giraffes immediately! Dozens of horsemen from afar rushed to this side, getting closer and closer.
"The envoy is back!" A few sharp-eyed people began to cheer, and the rest of the people began to cheer for joy. That's right, these horseback riders are Xie Chengbin, looking at the long greeting crowd on both sides, Xie Chengbin felt a lot of emotion in his heart, his prestige was piled up with money, and now that the gold bars have run out, the crowd in the city is still increasing, many crops have been destroyed, and I don't know how many people will starve to death if they can't afford to pay taxes to the court, alas~ This good official is really difficult to do.
At this moment, a five or six-year-old child came out not far away, giggling and jumping in the middle of the road, and no parents took him away. Xie Chengbin could only stop, dismount, and stepped forward to pick up the child. "Don't run around, or you'll be worried!"
"Mother said, make the king the king of benevolence and righteousness!" The child was not afraid of being held by Xie Chengbin, his two big eyes were watery, and his face was full of innocence, which was very cute. Affected by the child, Xie Chengbin was in a much better mood, smiled slightly, held the child with his left hand, and scraped the child's nose with his right hand. "You can really speak, what's your name?"
At this time, a woman in her twenties was squeezed out of the crowd and saluted Xie Chengbin, her face was a little nervous, it seemed that she was the mother of this child. Xie Chengbin put the child down gently, smiled slightly, turned around and left, and before he had taken a few steps, the child's delicate voice came from behind him. "Boy Xu Fu."
Xu Fu? It seems that he has heard it somewhere, Xie Chengbin subconsciously stopped, could it be that Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi? ! Turning back suddenly, that Xu Fu didn't know where he had gone. Helpless, get on the horse, and move on.
When they came to the gate of the city, the big and small officials almost arrived at the military generals, and they stepped forward to greet each other one by one. After the greetings, I moved on, and finally came to the county mansion, where I could sleep beautifully!
The fantasy is so plump, and the reality is indeed so skinny. Xie Chengbin originally wanted to listen to Gao Xu's report on the past few days in the lobby, but who knew that before his butt was hot, a small envoy came to report, saying that it was a secret edict sent by the capital, and presented it to Xie Chengbin after speaking.
Xie Chengbin opened it and took a look, and it read: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king, defiled the palace ban, mutilated the living beings, was unkind, and was full of crimes! Today, according to the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers are gathered, vowing to sweep away China, kill the murderers, hope to rejuvenate the righteous teachers, vent public anger, support the royal family, and save the people! When the text arrives, it can be pursued!
