Chapter 124: Sudden Encounter at the Water's Edge The enemy army is attacking on the ice

Let's say that at this time, Zhou Shuyu had arrived in Shanbei Province, which has a wide river called Xiangshui. The river is already frozen, and the people who live on both sides of the river are smashing the ice for fishing. In fact, the original place called Xiangzhou was a fief given to Zhao Huan, the Duke of Xiangguo, by the court of the Yan and Song Kingdoms, but Zhao Huan was a villain who only knew fish and meat in the township. Moreover, the poor people were not allowed to fish and eat in Xiangzhou, and all the people who took fish for food were harmed by it. And the local officials in Xiangzhou are all for the tiger and are willing to drive for it.

After the Guangming Army arrived here, they first arrested Zhao Huan, the Duke of Xiangguo, and his entire clan, and then copied a huge number of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings from the Mansion of the Duke of Xiangguo, the total of which was equivalent to the income of Xiangzhou for 20 years. It occupies hundreds of thousands of hectares of land, equivalent to the land of millions of peasants.

When the Guangming Army escorted Zhao Huan and his family to the execution ground of the Duke of Xiangguo and the officials who worked for the tiger, the local people were happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. After seeing the heads of the entire clan of the Duke of Xiangguo and the officials who fought for the tiger fall to the ground, the people whose families were killed wept bitterly on the execution ground, and they were even more grateful to the Illuminati and the Bright Army.

Later, the land and tax policies promulgated by the Illuminati and the Bright Army made the people follow the Illuminati and the Bright Army with an iron heart. Today, the people of the eighteen counties of Xiangzhou are still living a well-fed New Year in their good expectations for the coming year.

On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Guangming, when every household was celebrating the Spring Festival, Zhou Shuyu came to a big village called Juxianzhuang in the upper reaches of the river. Since the village can be named after this name, it also means that this place is a place where talents gather.

Looking at the beautiful scenery here, Zhou Shuyu's heart couldn't help but feel relaxed. I saw more than a dozen young men digging ice on the ice, and an old man watching them work. Coincidentally, his gaze turned to Zhou Shuyu at this time, and his eyes were full of surprise.

At this time, Chu Guozhang, who was beside Zhou Shuyu, said to Zhou Shuyu: "Dashuai, we should have two or three months before we can return to Guangming Town!"

"Well, yes! it's a long way. Look at those people who smashed the ice, they should have come to fish!" Zhou Shuyu said curiously.

"It should be, I heard that the water in this state is rich in a place called phoenix-tailed koi, it seems that we have to buy one and try it!"

However, at this moment, all of a sudden, a group of people riding war horses and wearing black armor rushed straight towards the group of ice-smashing people. However, the old man clearly saw the group of people rushing towards them, but he behaved as steady as Mount Tai.

However, they don't care, Zhou Shuyu doesn't want this group of people to kill in front of him. He said to Chu Guozhang: "Guozhang, what about your people! Ben Shuai doesn't want them to kill in front of Ben Shuai. Teach them a lesson, let them know whose territory is here?"

"Yes, Commander. Chu Guozhang naturally felt that the big man was already a little angry!

And the group of men on horseback and in armor felt that they were about to succeed, when suddenly a rain of arrows fell from the sky, followed by countless cavalrymen dressed in the armor of the Army of Light, their silver armor shining in the sun, and they rushed towards the group of enemies.

After the first rain of arrows, the group of enemies in black armor had already suffered most casualties. They looked at the oncoming cavalry of the Bright Army in horror, and one of the leaders of the group ordered loudly: "You all give General Ben a stop from this group of Bright Army." ”

However, how could they be the opponents of the Bright Army? Under the siege of the Bright Army, they were quickly wiped out. Even, the Bright Army did not suffer any casualties.

As for the group of young people who saw this situation and the old man who was sitting on the chair, their faces were full of surprise, they had already designed a trap to let the remnants of the group of soldiers under the command of Zhao Huan, the Duke of the State of Xiang, defeat themselves and find themselves dead. It's a pity that none of them were left behind by the Bright Army, and all of them were destroyed!

I saw that the old gentleman who had been sitting in his chair for a long time stood up, and saw that he was walking like a fly on the bare ice, and in less than a breath, he came to Zhou Shuyu. And Zhou Shuyu said to him very politely: "Old man, I disturbed your Yaxing fishing today, please forgive the younger generation for being rude!"

"There is no need for this, the old man originally wanted to sacrifice a few lives here, but he didn't expect them to be destroyed by you, the master of the Illuminati! Since Mr. Zhou can come to the village, then as the owner of the village, he should also do his best to be a landlord!" I saw that the old man suddenly said Zhou Shuyu's identity.

"Since the old man said so, then the younger generation should be respectful and obey his fate!" Zhou Shuyu agreed.

"Kids, close the stall. Leave a few people behind and dispose of the corpses. I saw the old man shouting at the young men.

"Yes, owner. I saw that the dozen or so young people immediately netted a net of phoenix-tailed koi fish from the chiseled ice, and then dragged them away!

When Zhou Shuyu and the others followed the old man to this Juxian Village, they found that this village was really big, and looking at the curling smoke rising in the village, Zhou Shuyu felt that he was hungry.

When he followed the owner of the village into the village, looking at the people along the way, he only felt that they were all very polite, and everyone seemed to be able to be literate and martial, which aroused Zhou Shuyu's curiosity even more.

When they came to the mansion of the owner, Zhou Shuyu looked at the red vermilion lacquer gate in front of him, and an old servant was waiting for them. When the old servant saw the farmer, he immediately greeted him.

"The old servant has seen the farmer. The owner, these seem to be distinguished guests from afar. The old servant said respectfully.

"Yes, Lao Chu, they have saved the lives of the old man and the dozen or so young people!" said the farmer gratefully.

"That's it, a few guests, please come in. Old Chu immediately invited.

"Thank you, Old Chu. Zhou Shuyu thanked.

At this time, the white-haired owner of the village directly instructed Chu Lao: "Old Chu, make a few of these phoenix-tailed koi fish that have just been salvaged, and let these distinguished guests try them." ”

"See, owner, the old servant will go and tell the kitchen. This old Chu directly ordered someone to pick up a few phoenix-tailed koi and bring them into the mansion. And those remaining phoenix-tailed koi were directly ordered by Chu Lao to give them to those widows and lonely homes!

And Zhou Shuyu followed the owner and entered the mansion. I saw that there were several courtyards inside, and next to the corridor with thousands of twists and turns, there was a small and exquisite garden rockery. Even, in the east and west wings, you can also hear the sound of children reading.

Following the owner, Zhou Shuyu walked into the lobby, and the old man Chu had already ordered someone to bring the new tea that had been cooked.

And the owner of the village naturally introduced himself to Zhou Shuyu: "Mr. Zhou, old and cautious, a little bit of poetry." In order to escape the war, this Juxian Village was built, with the purpose of gathering some capable people and talents who had to be displaced because of war, soldiers and bandits, and local heroes. Originally, the old man did not recommend that these capable people and talents gathered in the village go out of the mountain, because one of them was able to know people and be good at their duties, and the other was that they were in danger of their lives. Now, Mingjun happened to arrive, and these capable people and talents in the village were finally able to stretch their talents! Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you can stay in the village for a little more time, after all, those capable people and talents in the village are empty, but there are many questions to ask you!"

"Don't dare to ask for advice, since Mr. Shen said so, then the juniors can only be respectful and obey their orders!" Zhou Shuyu agreed. In fact, at this time, Zhou Shuyu felt very happy in his heart, because even if there was a steady stream of talents joining the Illuminati and the Bright Army, it was still in short supply!

As Elder Chu came in, he said respectfully to Mr. Shen, "Master, lunch has been prepared." Now, Zhuangnai has heard that a distinguished guest has arrived, and there are more than a dozen descendants who are ready to come to meet the distinguished guest. ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I don't know if it's convenient for you? If it's inconvenient, let Lao Chu let them go back. The old farmer said.

"No, old farmer, the juniors can meet them. After all, they are the same age as the juniors, and the juniors can also have a lot to say to them. Zhou Shuyu was very curious about the talents of these juniors? Now, if they can meet and take the school examination this time, if they are really outstanding in talent, then he will naturally reuse them immediately. In fact, he was really glad that not only the Yan Song Kingdom, but also the Northern Yan Kingdom that had been destroyed by the Bright Army, because of the mediocrity of the monarch, the virtuous people could not be reused, and the loyal and righteous people were framed by traitorous ministers, resulting in them either being killed, imprisoned, or exiled, which also made his Illuminati recruitment order publicized, and a large number of capable and virtuous people were continuously called.

And in the banquet where the old farmer Shen received the wind and dust from Zhou Shuyu and them this time, more than a dozen young students who suddenly arrived were already waiting for the old owner Shen and those distinguished guests outside the court.

I saw that among these later generations, a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a spear, said to these familiar brothers in the same village: "Brothers, who do you think this distinguished guest is?"

"I don't know, Brother Yu, I was fishing with Guohao, Wen Zhao and other brothers, and only the old owner said a few words to the distinguished guest. One of the personable sons said.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
