Chu asked what's going on, Xuantian sent a master?

"Which master of the Xuantian Sect" Hao Pang gave Chu pity on the message and let her read it for herself.

Chu took a look at it with pity: "Your sister said that he met the old horse on the road, and the old horse is coming to kill me, who is this old horse?"

Hao Pang told her: "Cangyuan Horse King, ten times of qi, this withered glory can really hire people." According to my understanding of Lao Ma, he has an arrogant temper, and he always regards the bandits in the world as his little brother. The people who dared to control him had already angered him. It's a joke to dare to hire him to kill us. I really don't know how Ku Rong knew him. ”

"So I'm out of danger?" Chu asked pitifully.

Hao Pang was extremely sure: "It's lifted, Lao Ma and our two brothers and sisters, it is definitely a friend of life and death, and it is estimated that this trip will bring me a good bar." When the time comes, let him take over those bandits, directly separate from the old generals and soldiers, outflank and kill the Lin family, even if they still want to surrender Tianlong sincerely, they won't grind with them. Something is wrong, it's still a kiss, and a fart. ”

Chu took pity and stretched out his thumbs up with Xiang Bei to praise Hao Fat, and the momentum of Xuantian's prince was different, and he was happy and fierce when he heard it.

However, there is still a question, Xiang Bei asked Hao Fat, this Cangyuan Horse King is coming, so he can't continue to fight bandits. You can't fight bandits in front of other bandit leaders, and you may even have to cooperate with bandits in the future.

Hao Pang said it doesn't matter, why do bandits have to fight, bandits are also a social role, and it's not good to be missing. Without bandits, the role of soldiers is diminished. Only if bandits exist, the people can rely more on the state. Otherwise, the state will only collect taxes in their eyes. So just go after those guys who aren't bandits but do bandits.

"Fatty, I find that you sometimes make a lot of sense. Xiang Bei also agrees with this statement. He asked Chu to make a decision, whether the bandits would fight or not?

Chu pity is very simple: "If you can use it, you won't fight, if you don't need it, you will continue to fight, it doesn't matter if you don't fight or not, at least it proves that we are a force for justice." Even if you want to cooperate with bandits, you can't be above board, you have to draw a clear line, they fight theirs, we fight ours. ”

Xiang Bei agreed, completely agreed, everyone is very smart today.

Chatting all the way, they came to the abandoned village. Xiang Bei walked into a house that didn't look too rotten, and immediately a foul smell hit. Several beggars ran up to them and began to beg with their mouths in unison.

Chu covered his nose pitifully: "Old Xiang, you talk to them, and I will go out to accompany you spiritually." ”

After saying that, he quickly exited the room, it couldn't stand the smell.

Xiang Bei doesn't care, although he also feels disgusting, but since he was a child, he has lived a hard life, and he has seen disgusting scenes, and the toilet at home was still a big manure tank when he was a child.

Xiang Bei took out some of the steamed buns he bought and distributed them to them: "You eat slowly, I'll ask a few words when you're full, and you can get the money when you're full." ”

A group of beggars thanked one after another, but they stuffed steamed buns into their mouths. Xiang Bei was very patient, just waited slowly, looking at them. Finally, his gaze fell on a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy: "What's your name?"

The young man ate steamed buns and replied, he called himself a worm, a cheap worm.

Xiang Bei asked him to come to him, and the worm came over and asked what was the matter.

"Why do you say that you are a cheap bug?" Xiang Bei was curious, this young man gave him a different feeling, not like a beggar, but like a big family, he was very educated in eating, and he was more educated than himself and Chu Piti.

The boy replied, "There are a few beggars who are not cheap." ”

Xiang Bei asked him, "How old is it, what is his name, and how did he become a beggar?"

"I don't remember how old I was, I didn't have a big name, I was born a beggar. The worm replied simply.

Xiang Bei took out a piece of dim sum and gave it to him: "Have you ever eaten the dim sum in this shop? ”

Xiao Worm glanced at the wrapping paper on the outside of the dim sum: "Juewei Zhai, it's not from Fengqi City at all, I know what shops are in Fengqi City, you didn't just buy it." Also, it's ridiculous to ask a beggar if he's ever eaten a snack. We have a hot steamed bun to hope for. ”

Xiang Bei looked into his eyes and said, "You also lied, saying that you were born a beggar, but you actually know the three words Juewei Zhai, do you know these beggars together? Why do you want to hide it?"

Worm realizes that he has been deceived and tells him that he doesn't want to talk about it. Ask him if he came here to find himself, right?

"Of course I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for everyone. But you're at the most energetic age, and you don't have any disabilities, so you can eat with me if you want. I like labor that doesn't cost the most. ”

The worm didn't speak, but crouched back into the corner and ate his own.

Xiang Bei smiled and didn't say anything more to him. Looking at those beggars who finished eating a steamed bun in three or five bites, he spoke: "Okay, now I want to ask, why are you here?"

A group of beggars looked at each other, and the eldest of the grades knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Thank you for the kind master's meal, we are here for no special reason, just to have a place to stay here." ”

Xiang Bei asked them, weren't they driven out of the city by the city lord, and it would not be more convenient to beg outside the city than in the city.

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly another woman knelt down: "Master Jun, let us go, we won't say anything." Whoever asks us won't say. ”

Xiang Bei said: "Don't worry, I'm not a military master, and I wasn't sent by the city lord." I let you tell me what the lord of the city has done and why he drove you out. It's okay to say five copper coins per person, and I won't force it if I don't say it. ”

The woman asked him, "Why did you ask this?"

Xiang Bei replied, because he was a good man who did the right thing for heaven, and he came specifically to kill bad people. Let them expose the sins of the city lord without worrying about retribution.

The woman hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively if she would really give money?

Xiang Bei took out the exchanged copper coins, counted out five and handed them to her: "I'll give you the money first, so you can rest assured." ”

"Eh, I said, thank you kind uncle. We were indeed driven out by the lord of the city, who said that there were big men in the city who were coming, and that we were too ugly in the city, so he drove us out. ”

"Okay, thanks, I'll ask one more question. When I was in the city, everybody said that the lord of the city was a good lord, is that true?"

The woman was just about to reply, when another person ran up: "I'll tell you this, it's fake, it's all fake." The city lord is coercive and tempting, so that everyone can say this, no matter who asks, they have to say this. These days, the city lord has sent many people to pretend to be outsiders and ask everywhere in the city, and whoever says something wrong will be killed directly. So no one dares to say that he is bad. ”

"Is that so?" asked Xiang Bei to the other beggars.

A group of beggars said yes, that's it, this city lord is simply full of evil, and he used to bully men and women all day long in the city, which is not a good thing.

A group of beggars began to babble about the crimes of the city lord. Xiang Bei let the wind and thunder write it down one by one.

After everyone finished speaking, Xiang Bei divided the money, looked back at Chu Pity in the courtyard, Chu Pity nodded and said Okay, go back.

Xiang Bei looked at the little worm who had not spoken or come to receive the money, and told him: "Sometimes there are ideas in my heart, but I can't achieve them on my own, especially when it is difficult to maintain my livelihood, let alone mention. ”

After speaking, Xiang Bei turned around and left directly. The little worm thought for a moment and chased out of the yard: "I'll go with you." ”

Xiang Bei jumped on the horse: "Run behind, if you can keep up, I will take you in, don't say that I bullied you, you are just a beggar, you are bullied." If you don't want to be bullied, let's get rid of the beggar identity first. ”
