Zhang Chu stared at the backward cattle and sheep market outside the car window.

It was noon.

At this time in the past, the cattle and sheep market was already so crowded that it was like rushing to the market, and people walking on this street could only slowly surge with the crowd, not to mention running, not even walking a little faster.

Nowadays, the cattle and sheep market is deserted.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed with closed signs.

The small semi-shops that are still insisting on business are also full of doors, and the shopkeepers are all sitting in the shops in a depressed spirit, with loveless expressions on their faces.

The streets are dotted with pedestrians, mostly elderly, and young people and children are barely visible.

Also, if anyone can walk, I'm afraid that they have already gone out of the city to hide from the army.

It's just that in this Xuanbei Prefecture, where is there a peach blossom source?

It was only half a day since the Northern Barbarians rode into the city, but it took years or decades for AllBright Mansion to recover.

Of course, the premise is that AllBright can survive this hurdle......

Zhang Chu put down the car curtains and sighed lightly.

AllBright wants to survive this hurdle, how easy it is to say!

It's a three-sided encirclement!

He closed his eyes and pondered what the Quadruple Gang was going to do next.

Retreat, it is difficult for the Quadruple Gang to have a chance to leave AllBright now.

In the offensive and defensive battle of Jintianfu three days ago, the casualties of the city guards were also very heavy, and the county government was now only afraid that the people who were defending the city would have a headache, how could it be possible to let the more than 1,000 strong men of the Silian Gang leave Jintianfu.

Of course, this is the objective environment, if Zhang Chu wants to escape, even if the county government sends a Qipin to stare at him for twelve hours a day, he can't stop him.

But subjectively, Zhang Chu didn't want to flee from AllBright Mansion like a lost dog.

He's a man.

Or the head of the family.

The knife slashed at him, and he could endure it for the sake of the overall situation.

But the Northern Barbarians have killed two generations of his old Zhang family, and this can't be endured, and can't be endured!

No longer kill thousands of northern barbarians, he will never leave Wuding County!

Even if he fills in his life......

The problem in front of him now is that the strength of the Quadruple Gang has been greatly damaged, where to replenish the manpower? .

Now in the entire Wuding County, I'm afraid that I can't find many young people, so I can't pull some old and weak into the gang and go to do something with the Northern Barbarians, right?

Just when he had a headache for manpower, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.

"Parking. ”

He shouted softly.

Brother Xuanwutang, who was driving, hurriedly reined in his horse: "Woo ......"

Zhang Chu stepped out of the carriage and saw the miscellaneous soup stall that was opening across the street at a glance.

The chop soup stall is still the same, and even the signboard is still the original "Zhang Ji Chop Soup" brand.

In the environment where the whole street is not very popular, it is rare that there are still more than a dozen diners sitting in the miscellaneous soup stall.

Zhang Chu waved his hand at the Xuanwu Cousin brothers who were surrounding him and walked over alone.

Yu Er sat in the stall.

He was pale, sluggish, and his hair was messed up like a chicken nest.

His age was already on the long side of the Quadruple Gang, but in the past, he still had a little bit of the spirit of the gang people, and now, he already had a bit of twilight that only old people can have.

His right arm was hanging from his shoulder, and his right palm was gone......

He sat in the stall, his eyes were unfocused looking at the long street, Zhang Chu had already walked to the stall, and he didn't even notice Zhang Chu.

It wasn't until a little brother of Suzaku Hall, who was helping in the stall, noticed Zhang Chu and exclaimed in surprise, that Yu Er came back to his senses.

"Helper!"

As soon as the little brother of Suzaku Hall spoke, all the helpers and diners in the stall threw down their work in a panic and stood up.

"Busy with you, leave me alone. ”

Zhang Chu waved his hand and walked into the stall by himself.

A helper's junior came over with a rag, diligently wiped the already clean tables and chairs, and asked Zhang Chu to sit down.

It didn't take long for Yu Er to personally bring a bowl of choppy soup and send it to Zhang Chu.

No.

It can't be said to be a mixed soup, because there is no water in the soup at all.

It's a bowl of white radish in clear soup.

During the period of filial piety, you can't eat meat.

Zhang Chu picked up the bamboo skewer and picked a piece of radish and fed it to his mouth.

Yu Er sat down with him, and the first sentence he said made Zhang Chu slightly stunned.

"Master Chu, where is the old lady buried?"

Zhang Chu couldn't remember how long Yu Er hadn't called him like this.

It seems that since the day he sat in the position of the hall master of the Black Tiger Hall, Yu Er has never called him Chu Ye again.

In the past, he always felt that this was the manifestation of Yu Er's snobbery and many eyes.

Now that he heard Yu Er call himself Chu Ye, he only felt sour in his heart.

There are only two reasons why a person who once feared power and power suddenly ceases to be afraid.

Or, he already has the power to contend with.

Or, or he has no desires, and he is not even afraid of death.

Yu Er is clearly the latter.

Zhang Chu put down the bamboo stick and asked, "Why didn't you come to the vigil last night?"

Yu Eryang raised his right hand, which was still bleeding from his bandaged steamed buns, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the old lady's heart is softer than yours, just send her old man with my declining appearance, isn't that going to add to her old man's house?"

He smiled calmly, no longer as sincere and frightened as he was when facing Zhang Chu before, and he had to think about the caution of three seconds before even taking a breath.

Zhang Chu nodded, picked up the bamboo skewer again and forked a piece of radish and threw it into his mouth, "It's so badly injured, it's not good to recuperate at home, what kind of stall do you come out to guard?"

"Isn't that a sign that you're running out of money?"

Yu Er was still smiling, "You sent 100,000 taels of silver to the county government before, and this time you gave such a large reward to the brothers who killed the Northern Barbarians, and your subordinates can't do anything else now, so you can only help guard the stall again......"

"Bastard!"

Zhang Chu interrupted him unhappily, "I have thousands of brothers in the Silian Gang, and I need you to come out as a waste person to make money to support your family?"

Yu Er heard him scold himself for being a waster, but there was no embarrassment on his face.

Zhang Chu got up: "I have instructed Yang Chang'an to lead a team to escort all the disabled brothers in the city out of the city to Beiyin County tomorrow, go back and pack your luggage, and follow Yang Changan tomorrow, when you get to the place, find a mother-in-law and aunt, and give your old Yu family to inherit the lineage, not to mention following me Zhang Chu, I can't even pass on the incense!"

With that, he strode towards the chop soup stall.

Yu Er stood up, wrapped his severed hand in his left hand, and slammed it towards Zhang Chu's back.

The black carriage departed surrounded by the Xuanwu brothers of the brigade.

Only then did a few of the helpers in the stall dare to approach.

"You are loyal, dragged out of the gang to earn money with serious injuries, but the gang leader said this about you, isn't it too ......?"

The only Suzaku cousin among the helpers whispered in a somewhat angry voice.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Er raised his head suddenly, and threw a big mouth in his face: "Bastard, what kind of thing are you, and the helper is also something you can criticize?"

The many helpers who came around found that Yu Er's eyes were red.
