Chapter 226: A bumpy road

"Smack, smack......"

In the official road from Wu County to Huating Liu's family, the sound of empty whips was endless.

Lan Nu and Liuyan sat in the car, the black carbon head Ruoluo and Li Kuan whipped on the wheels to catch up, and the green ox ran fast. Two days ago, Shahu sent people to Beizhuang in Wu County, ordering them to return to Huating quickly to discuss, but they did not say anything.

Along the way, Lan Nu and Liuyan were a little worried in their hearts, could it be that Xiao Langjun had just left Jiangnan, and something happened to Zhuangzhong? What was it that made Shattered Lake rush to call them back?

"Eagle, Eagle......"

In fact, a goshawk flew low past the willow tops, and flew by the curtains of the car window, and its fluttering wings startled Liuyan, who was contemplating. Lan Nu's eyes flashed, his eyes chased the eagle's tail from afar, and said, "The eagle in the village!" ”

Liuyan said happily: "If it is the eagle in the village, then there must be our people in front of it." ”

Lan Nu said: "Inevitably, so." ”

Li Kuan's expression was also happy, and he was about to destroy the cow even more urgently. Because it was a downhill road, the green cow ran easily and cheerfully, although the second daughter in the car was dangling, but after a stick of incense, he caught up with the pedestrians in front.

If you look up and down, the crowd stretches like a long dragon, about hundreds of people. There was an ox cart in front of the crowd, and at the edge were more than a dozen white-robed people with knives, and Li Yue and Luo Huan each rode a horse at the end of the line. At this moment, the goshawk was resting on Li Yue's shoulder.

"But Sister?!" Li Kuan shouted.

Hearing Li Kuan's voice, Luo Huan turned his head, pressed the knife and said with a smile: "The chief steward is in front." ”

Li Kuan was overjoyed, and immediately drove the ox cart to the front of the team, and the crowd avoided one after another.

Liuyan lifted the side curtain, only to see the people on the side of the road flowing like water, although they were all ragged, but they were strong and strong, and there were a few women in the middle of them, all of whom were thirteen or fourteen years old, with low eyebrows and eyes, looking at the car timidly.

"Huh......"

Suddenly, Liuyan sighed softly, his eyes were fixed on a black and white person, and the person was also looking up at her, the car rolled by, hurriedly skimmed, Liuyan immediately looked back at the side window, but saw that the person lowered his eyebrows, and didn't look at it again.

"Drive!"

Li Kuan slammed his whip, and the two ox carts converged on the cage and drove side by side. The ox cart on the opposite side holds a side curtain, and a broken lake sits in the middle. Liuyan and Lannu were shallow and blessed with her in the car, and Shahu returned the salute with both hands and smiled slightly.

Li Kuan stood on the wheel, looked back at the crowd behind him, and asked, "Where did Sister come from?" Who are these people? ”

Shahu said with a smile: "I went to Lie Wu County and Youquan and bought some official slaves." ”

Liuyan had been worried about the affairs of the village, so he hurriedly asked, "Broken Lake, how is the master's mother?" ”

Shahu knew that Liuyan had served his mother since he was a child, and his friendship was different from others, so he smiled and said, "The housemother is good, don't worry." The call back of you is a matter of other villages. ”

Liuyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Everything is very good in Beizhuang, when we went to build a village, we happened to avoid the locust plague, and this spring sowing is imminent, and the grain has been put down." ”

Broken Lake said with a smile: "It's not another village in Wu County, it's another village." ”

"Build another village?!"

Liuyan, Lannu, and Li Kuan were all shocked, especially Liuyan and Lannu, they all knew that when the Huating Liu family built another village in Wu County last year, the money was slightly insufficient.

Broken Lake smiled: "Yes, don't be surprised. ”

At the moment, the two cars are parallel, and the broken lake slowly tells the truth of the matter, it turns out that Yang Shaoliu has a lot of wealth this time, and the two discussed for a few days, Yang Shaoliu proposed: build another village, expand the winery, and increase the variety of glass.

This is a big deal, Broken Lake carefully thought about it for a few days and did not dare to make a decision, so he discussed the matter of Yang Shaoliu's wealth with the master's mother, Liu smiled when he heard it, and immediately ordered Broken Lake to work with a relaxed heart, the two families are one family, why do they need to share each other.

Broken Lake weighed carefully, and already knew it in his heart, so he summoned Lan Nu and Liuyan back, intending to choose one of the two to build another village.

While speaking, Huating Liu's Taolin was already in sight.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers, Liuyan and Lannu looked at each other, and Liuyan thought: 'Yang Xiaoniang's move is quite strange, as if she is comparing with Xiaolangjun......

Li Kuan was elated, Xiao Langjun went to Jiangbei and took away 500 trilogies, of which 40 people came from the white robe of Wu County, and now there are only ten subordinates left in the huge Beizhuang of Wu County, which is really worrying.

And the eyes of the broken lake are with a faint melancholy, if the Huating Liu family wants to expand the momentum, it is in urgent need of reliable candidates, and now we know that what Xiao Langjun said is true, talents, and when it comes to hate.

Eagle ......

Just when everyone was thinking differently, the goshawk flapped its wings from the tail of the long crowd, and a harrier turned over and plunged straight into the majestic hill.

……

Eagle ......

The harrier eagle swept across the vast sky and came to the top of the village, its eyes gathered, its wings trembled, and its body spiraled down.

"Hawk coming!"

Tang Lixiao stood under the dead tree, collected the harrier eagle, and walked quickly into the village along the cracked path.

This is an abandoned village, at the mouth of the village, tall and ancient, half yellow and half burnt, and the branches reach to the sky like a rotten palm. Walking into the village, you can see the ruins of the walls, all kinds of scattered things, embroidered hoes in the corner of the courtyard, tattered straw curtains half buried in the gray dirt, the other half crawling with cobwebs.

The wind swept the dust leaves, and a pungent smell came straight to him, and under the dilapidated dead leaves, half a handful of withered brown hair was revealed. As soon as he stepped on it, his hair and dead leaves brushed the soles of his shoes, making a "hissing" sound.

This is the border of Lujiang County, which is about to enter Huainan County, within a radius of thirty miles, and there is no one except Wubao. The barren fields are one after another, and the weeds are almost as tall as a man, and even the voles are no longer visited, and occasionally wild dogs roar and crack their teeth.

"Woo......"

Halfway through the earthen wall, a gray shadow suddenly rushed overhead.

Tang Lixiao didn't look at it, the long sword in his hand slammed upward, blood flowed straight down the sword body, and he threw it hard, and the thin wild dog hit the opposite wall, smashing up a burst of dirt and flying sideways. He stepped over the dog's head and wiped the sword with its sparse hair.

In the middle of the village, there is a well of water. Several white-robed people were fetching water, their white robes had turned earthy yellow, their faces were different from before, and their eyes were like knives at their waists, sharp and blood-devouring. From Liyang to here, it took six days to walk in just over 200 miles. And in these six days, they experienced a total of five raids, interceptors, including bandits who occupied the mountains, wanderers of the wilderness, and perhaps people from the dock fort.

If you don't enter Jiangbei, you don't know the chaos, and once you enter Jiangbei, it is difficult to do an inch.

The camp was set up at the end of the village, and Laifu pressed his sword to meet him and asked, "Is there any change?" ”

Tang Lixiao said: "Within a thousand steps, there is none." ”

"That's good, you can enter Huainan tomorrow, and you can rest for a while when you enter Huainan."

Laifu breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to reach out and stroke the harrier eagle on Tang Lixiao's shoulder, but who knew that the eagle pecked back.

"Haha......"

Laifu laughed loudly, his broad palm was not biased or hidden, and he still caught the eagle's head, Tang Lixiao held Laifu's hand with the hilt of his sword, shook his head with a cold face, and then turned around and walked into the camp.

Guo Pu sat lazily basking in the sunset at the entrance of the tent, his robe was dirty and torn, and only a handful of black beards were still clear. When he saw Laifu and Tang Lixiao walking into the camp, he suddenly got up and stopped the two of them, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"If so, how? If not, what if? Even if you know about joining the army, what does it mean? Laifu said in a low voice, and as he spoke, he and Tang Lixiao bypassed Guo Pu and walked quickly to the back of the camp.

"If there is, I should look for Hongxiao......" Guo Pu blurted out subconsciously, and then came back to his senses, his face suddenly couldn't hold back, he flicked his sleeves suddenly, looked at the backs of the two of them, and shouted stupidly: "March, big things, how can it be child's play?!" Don't ignore it. ”

"What are you looking for me to do? Protect you......"

At this time, Hong Xiao and Zhisu came over with a wooden basin, Hong Xiao skimmed Guo Pu, his slender eyes narrowed, but the corners of his mouth turned slightly upturned, and he turned around and walked towards the Chinese military tent.

Guo Pu followed the two into the Zhongjun tent, and saw Liu Nong sitting behind the case at a glance, Qu Ping and Beigong sitting on the left and right, and Laifu and Tang Lixiao in front of the case, there were no vacancies around, so they simply sat on the ground at will, silent.

Liu Nong looked at the strange-looking Guo Pu and smiled indifferently, although Guo Pu often talked about ghosts and gods, which made Laifu and Tang Lixiao and others dislike, but he was good at astronomical calculations and was quite good at managing internal affairs, and he still needed his help when he arrived in Shangcai in the future. It's just that he likes to play with yin very much, until a few days ago, when Liu Nong had a deep talk with him, he told Liu Nong about the secret damage to the Yu family, Liu Nong learned about it, and he didn't say anything for a long time, but he snubbed him for a few days.

At this time, Liu Nong secretly thought that the heat was enough, and he should not be too embarrassed, so he glanced at Laifu, who immediately willingly moved out of the way of the low case and sat on Xiao Langjun's side.

Sure enough, as soon as Laifu got out of the way, Guo Pu walked over slowly, straightened the crown on the top, swept the hem of the robe, and then sat down opposite Liu Nong, took a deep look, and said in a deep voice: "Lang Jun, Guo Pu is not in a form, Shang Wang Lang Jun is not strange!" ”

Liu Nong was overjoyed in his heart, returned the salute, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be polite when you join the army, joining the army treats Liu Nong with kindness, and is willing to go north with Liu Nong for thousands of miles, Liu Nong is not very grateful." As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the tent again, and said: "Now that I am about to enter Huainan County, Huainan County is the place where the ancestral Yuzhou controls the army, so I think I can rest at ease for a few days." ”

Guo Pu raised his eyebrows and said, "Lang Jun, there is something that has to be prepared." ”

Liu Nong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Pu groaned for a while, and said loudly: "Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of the ancestor Shizhi, and its subordinate departments, as well as all the dock forts in Yuzhou, are recruited and controlled by him, and they are subordinate officials of his assassin's mansion. Jiangbei, people's hearts are scattered, law and discipline do not exist, according to Guo Pudu, Jiangbei's dock fort, it is difficult to argue that it is Jin, or self-reliance! Lang Jun belongs to the court, which is independent of the subordinate officials of the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion, but exists in Yuzhou, if it is hated by the ancestor Yuzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult! ”

Hearing this, Liu Nong's hand holding the tea bowl paused slightly, Zuyu Prefecture should not be here, however, the Wubao in Jiangbei is very different from the Jiangnan Manor, there are both scholars and Shu people, and there are more homeless people gathered, elect the leader, divide the territory and rule, and become a country of its own. When the soldiers of Zuyu Prefecture arrived, its fort was Jin, and when Hu rode to, its fort was Hu. Now before Huainan, the situation has been so erosive, if Huainan is passed, it must be even worse!

However, the arrow has left the string, how can it be feared!

When he said: "It's okay, Zu Yuzhou, Ren Jieer, will never act like this." I waited for a detour to Huainan to visit Zuyuzhou. At that time, I will be the junior, and I will be the elder. ”

Guo Pu moved his lips and was about to speak, Tang Lixiao said again: "Xiao Langjun, there is still one thing to decide!" (To be continued.) )
