General Yi's two deputies followed him and were about to walk towards the village, when the left deputy stretched out his palm to signal the soldiers not to follow. Seeing this, the owner of the village said: "The soldiers have worked hard all the way, how can they not go in and drink a glass of water!"

General Yi saw that the owner of the village said sincerely, and said: "The owner of the village, everyone should come in!" So they led their horses in.

When he entered the village, the owner of the village instructed some of his brothers to feed the horses some fodder and water, and arranged for the soldiers to be brought into other rooms to rest, and some of them went to boil water.

At this moment, the sky is already slightly bright. General Yi was asked to take a seat, but the two deputies insisted on standing aside.

The old village owner said ashamedly: "General, it really makes you laugh, a few days ago, Lao Yu went out for business, but I didn't expect that as soon as Lao Yu came back last night, these brothers in the village went to the capital to make such a shocking thing." Fortunately, the general arrived in time regardless of the antecedents, otherwise he would have to pay for the life of the disobedient fourth brother. ”

He raised his head again and said to the brothers in the village: "Why don't you go and help the fourth brother over, and personally thank General Yi for saving his life!"

General Yi hurriedly shook his hand and said with a smile: "The owner of the village, thank me and I don't need it, this is the meaning of the Zhuoer fairy, without the guidance of the fairy, how can I have the ability to save people, I want to thank the four village masters in the future to thank the fairy Xie." ”

Seeing that General Yi spoke without condescending, the owner of the old village was very admirable in his heart, and said: "The general's first-class character makes the old man extremely admired. The general worked tirelessly overnight to come to Benzhai to pass on the method of saving people, and he should be thanked. ”

The two were talking, the four village masters because their hands and feet were not good enough for the time being, they were helped over, and after seeing the general, they knelt down and thanked: "The general is very gracious, I dare not say thank you, if I have the opportunity to repay one or two in the future, I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not hesitate!"

General Yi hurriedly took two steps to help him up and said, "The master of Sizhai is serious, in fact, Fairy Zhuoer has no intention of killing you. ”

After hearing this, the master of the four villages said a little apologetically: "The fairy has a heart like a valley, and he insulted the fairy at the lower exit, and the fairy punished him, so that he understands how to behave in the future! After the general goes back, if it is convenient, please thank the fairy on his behalf!"

General Yi told him to sit down and rest, because he really didn't know if he would have the opportunity to meet the immortals in the future.

After the four village owners sat down, the old village owners asked, "General Yi, I don't know why the emperor wants to take us in."

General Yi replied: "I don't hide it from the owner of the village, yesterday the owner of the second village went to make trouble in the Kuohai Gambling House, and it stands to reason that it was indeed a big disaster." ”

When the old village owner heard this, he was a little confused, and asked: "General, what is the origin of that old man, when Dong Kehu was in the court, he was also radiant." That Dong Kehu was beheaded, but the old man was still brilliant. ”

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly woke up a little and said, "Yes, yes, the old man and the immortals are together." A smile broke into his face.

General Yi continued his unfinished words and said: "It is not difficult to see that the old man has an immortal fate, and now even the emperor is polite to the old man." Especially the old man's beautiful daughter, Miss Baihui, is deeply valued by the immortals. ”

Following his words, he continued: "The emperor heard that your people went to the capital to make trouble, and he was a little angry at first, but the emperor was very benevolent and ordered me to come to Guizhai for a special trip. Therefore, I hope that the owner of the village and the brothers in the village can seriously consider it, after all, staying in the cottage for a long time is not a long-term solution. ”

Seeing that General Yi was speaking sincerely, the owner of the old village said: "General, I won't hide it from you, although our brothers in the village make a living, they never harass and bully the poor people. It's just that those few disobedient people got silver taels, and they went to the old man's gambling house to be chic. ”

continued: "Those who participated in the gambling money are now locked up in the village by me, and after a few days, when the second child's injury improves, I will let him lead the gambling money to compensate the old man." ”

General Yi praised him for being "broad-minded, well-informed and open-minded". Although he praised him for being open-minded, he was a little disapproving in his heart: "Whatever does not harass the poor masses is just a matter of the poor without silver." However, it is also commendable not to bully the poor people. ”

General Yi saw that the owner of the old village did not say that he would consider the matter of incorporation, and said: "In fact, the emperor is a Ming monarch, and now he has the help of the immortals, and now the emperor is restructuring the member countries, and soon the word 'alliance' will be gone, and all countries will be renamed 'provinces'." ”

He continued: "Moreover, the country will soon become stronger and more prosperous, and it will be difficult for other countries to invade our country again. Now the emperor is also recruiting civil and military talents across the country, and the owner of the village has both civil and military skills, and I believe that the emperor will reuse it. ”

The old village owner was a little fascinated by his words, and he said: "Don't hide it from the general, in fact, I have long wanted to contribute to the country, but I have always been in charge of the government in secret, and I have lost my ideals." ”

continued: "Since I was a child, my family was poor, and my parents died early due to illness, and later I had to meet my master to take me in, so I had a few three-legged cats and knew a few words. Now that I am old, I have to ask my brothers for their opinions. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Personally, if I am still young and the emperor is a bright monarch, I will go to the emperor." But rest assured, General, that whatever the brothers may say, I will give the General an answer within ten days. ”

Seeing that the owner of the village had said all this, General Yi got up and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the owner of the village!"

Seeing General Yi get up, the old village owner sat down in place, stretched out his hand and signaled: "What is the general doing when you get up?

General Yi arched his hand and said: "We have been disturbing the owner of the village for a long time, besides, the owner of the village and the brothers in the village must have not rested all night, so let's say goodbye!"

Seeing that he was so considerate, the owner of the village said: "Didn't the general and the soldiers also have no rest all night? ”

General Yi pushed and said: "The owner of the village doesn't have to worry about us, each of us has some dry food with him, and those horses are first-class war horses, although there are not many horses that travel thousands of miles a day, but there is absolutely no problem for our horses to travel six hundred miles a day." They have eaten some forage and water in the village, so don't worry. ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, the old village owner had no choice but to get up and say: "The general insists on leaving, and I can't force me to stay, so the old man will give the general and the soldiers a ride!"

So, the owner of the old village led a few leading brothers in the village, sent them directly to the bottom of the mountain to cherish each other, and waved goodbye. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the old village owner looked at their distant backs, thinking in his heart how to seek a future for the brothers in the village.
