Chapter 35 The Beginning of the Beacon Fire

September 209 BC

The continuous autumn rain has been falling for three days, and a lot of rain has accumulated in the yard, and there is a tendency to waterlogging. The wet weather makes people tired and restless. Mrs. Zhang sat in the room with me every day to sew and mend, and occasionally looked up at the window, she would always say quietly, "I always feel ...... What is going to happen......"

When the rain continued to the seventh day, Zhang Liang, who had been out for more than a month, suddenly returned.

He seemed very excited, and his spirits were very high, as if something very good had happened.

"Madam, pack up your things, and I will leave Xinzheng in three days. He said.

Zhang Budo didn't seem to expect to leave with Zhang Liang this time, he looked at me and asked Zhang Liang: "Father, did something happen? Why do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Liang had a smile on his face, he tapped the desk with his fingers, and there was a trace of excitement in his voice: "I'm afraid you don't know that there are two strong men in Daze Township who led the soldiers to kill the officers who escorted the soldiers and launched a mutiny. ”

I was shocked when I heard this: "Mutiny?!...... Rebellion?!"

"Hehe, so to speak. Zhang Liang nodded.

The appearance of Changxi and Wu Yi suddenly appeared in my heart, my face turned pale, and I hurriedly asked, "Do you know what are the names of those two strong men, and what are their identities?"

Zhang Liang was thoughtful, and he could see what I was thinking at a glance, he smiled gently at me, and said with relief: "Those two are just poor people from Luzuo who were requisitioned by the imperial court to send Tunshu Yuyang, one surnamed Chen Mingsheng, and the other surnamed Wu Mingguang, both ordinary people. ”

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, my face turned a little pale, and I pulled the corners of my mouth and said, "Yes, those two strong men are heroic." ”

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were originally one of the more than 900 soldiers who were requisitioned and sent to Yuyang, but on the way to Yuyang, they were blocked by heavy rain in Daze Township, Qi County, and could not reach their destination as scheduled. According to the laws of Great Qin, if the requisitioned people miss the deadline, they will be beheaded. In desperation, the two men led the soldiers to kill the officers who were escorting the soldiers and launched a mutiny. This group of ordinary peasants elected Chen Sheng as a general and Wu Guang as a lieutenant, and within a few days, they conquered Daze Township and Qi County, and established the Zhang Chu regime in Chen County. Zhang Liang's eyes swelled with appreciation, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Do you know how Chen Sheng instigated others to rebel with him? He actually said, 'The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning'? Hehe, even a farmer has this courage, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death, and steal our lives? Chen Shengyan 'The bird does not know the ambition of the bird', and it is time for my ambition to show it. ”

Zhang Liang was determined to embark on the road of anti-Qin, and no one stopped him. Of course, no one can stop him.

Mrs. Zhang packed up her clothes for Zhang Budo and Zhang Liang with red eyes, and I gently knocked on the bamboo door of Zhang Liang's study.

"Come in. ”

I pushed the door in, Zhang Liang was discussing something with Zhang Budo, and when he saw that it was me, he was stunned at first, and then asked me, "But come to deliver tea?"

I put the tea on the table and brewed it for him and Zhang Budo, then suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Please Mr. Zhang take the snow and leave with him!"

Zhang Budo's face turned pale, his hand slapped on the table, and he said sharply: "Nonsense! You have a daughter's house, what kind of fun are you making? As long as one is not careful, he will lose his life!"

"No doubt!" Zhang Liang's voice was not angry, "You sit down and listen to what Xue'er has to say." ”

In the past few days, thanks to the care of her husband's family, Cher has not only recovered from her injuries, but also experienced a life that she had never experienced before, and Cher is very grateful. But even so, Xue'er still has a knot in her heart, and if this knot is not solved, I will not be able to live in peace for a day. In this case, it is better to untie this knot in person, which can be regarded as an explanation for your heart. I said in a sincere tone: "Besides, even if Mr. doesn't take me away, I will definitely leave." Even if I don't have the protection of my husband at that time, I must find them!"

Zhang Budo's face was pale, and he was about to say something, so he heard Zhang Liang say, "In that case, Xue'er, you can come together." I'll arrange a maid for you when I go back, so that I can take care of your diet and daily life. ”

"Father!"

"You don't have to be so nervous. Zhang Liang frowned, and said to the nervous Zhang Budo: "Xue'er can be regarded as a person who has experienced many changes, unlike the daughter of an ordinary family, you don't need to worry about being like this." ”

Zhang Budo opened his mouth, but finally fell silent, clenching his hands at his side tightly.

I lowered my eyes away from his burning gaze and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." ”

That night, I was in my room to pack the clothes I needed on the way, but there was a knock on the door. Through the shadow of the moonlight on the bamboo door, I could see at a glance who this person was.

"Don't doubt my brother, come in. I sat down at the desk in the room, poured him a bowl of tea and said, "Don't be so nervous, just leave the door open when you come in." ”

Zhang Budo pushed the door in, hesitated for a moment, and sat down opposite me.

In the past, no matter what happened, he would have insisted on inviting me out and talking with me at the bamboo table in the courtyard. He has always been polite and delicate, and the reason why he insisted on me going out was because according to etiquette, unmarried lonely men and widows were not allowed to live in the same room, and he did not want me to tell the truth.

"Cher," he said with a frown as he reached out to hold my hand pouring tea, "It's too late to change your decision." Don't get involved in these things, living an ordinary life like an ordinary woman is the happiness you should have. ”

"The life of an ordinary woman?" I shook my head and withdrew my hand, and said with a smile: "This is too luxurious for me, since the moment I was born, I am destined not to live the ordinary life of an ordinary woman, nor can I have that simple and tranquil happiness." ”

"Are you looking for that noble musician?" or...... Wu Yi Gongzi?" he asked.

"Both. I clenched my hand in my sleeve and said firmly: "Those two people...... You have to find it. ”

"Whose side are you going to stay with when you find it?" he asked again, in a snarled voice.

"I don't know, just let it be. I smiled and said lightly, "Maybe whoever you meet first will be whoever you meet." ”

"That's a bit too casual. Zhang Budo smiled bitterly, he got up and hugged his fist at me, and sighed: "But since you have said so, then I don't need to say anything more." I just hope you can take care of yourself more, you must ...... Protect yourself. ”

My eyes were slightly hot, I picked up the bowl of tea in front of me, and said with a smile: "I replace wine with tea, and I thank Brother Bu for this." ”
