Chapter 52: The jailer is bitter and saves his life
"Lock this beast into the firewood room for Lao Tzu, and if you can't find it for a day, you won't be given food for a day."
Lu Xiaohua shrank her neck and dragged the man who had been beaten out of the house.
The current state of affairs and the reasons for it are clear.
"He Yuchun, order the team to kill Taoyuan County with Lao Tzu. Curry's old crossbow was also brought with him. ”
"Xu Ku, right? Lao Tzu will kill you first and sacrifice the flag! ”
Chai Sanhu yelled angrily at He Yuchun, who was standing with his head hanging in the courtyard, but he didn't pay attention to the latter's collapsed face.
"Big brother, you are confused!"
"Without an order to suppress bandits, you won't go to the gate of the capital. Leaving one's post without permission and forcibly breaking into the city gates are unpardonable sins! ”
Chai Zhennan chased out of the house and shouted. There was a banditry, and the curfew in Wangjing was strictly ordered.
"No need for his forgiveness!"
"If there is no Lao Tzu in town, Da Luan would have died a long time ago, I'll see who dares to touch my Chai family!"
In the whole mountain, there is only one person who dares to say these disobedient words. Chai Zhennan could only helplessly throw off his sleeves.
"Ancestor, Chai Shuai has already left Wangjing."
The celebrant of the warm pavilion, Xiao Dezi reported to Cheng's father-in-law with a respectful face, holding the note handed by the person below in his hand.
"Three hammers smashed the city gates? It's really like his style. The tiger is so old that it has no teeth, and it can protect its cubs. ”
The old eunuch's tone carried a hint of nostalgia.
"Let's go down. Send a message to our people, and the Chai Chamber of Commerce will take care of it in the future. Don't ask someone to shovel it. ”
"We remember." Xiao Dezi said.
"Your Majesty is staying in Xian Yu Palace tonight?"
"Exactly."
……
The boundary of Xishan Pass in Taoyuan County within a radius of two miles has been surrounded by officials, and there is a sentry in fifty steps.
Zhang Guangtai rubbed his hands with regret, how could he be persuaded by the surname Xu to do such a wrong thing.
"Brother Xu, stop. This is a privately made ordnance, and you don't dare to take it out after it's made! ”
"Zhu Jiu clan, Zhu Jiu clan!"
Zhang Guangtai was anxious.
Xu Ku stared at the sky, thinking about what would happen next. Zhang Guangtai's shouting fell on deaf ears.
I went to the old north mouth overnight, and found Zhong Wenyuan's note from the stump by the stream, and my gloomy mood was relieved a little.
This is the separate code of the two, and Qiu Niang doesn't know. In the reeds of Wanliutang, ten small boats can be hidden.
However, it is true that as Ma Delai said, only rubble and coke are left in Xiaozhuang, and countless efforts have been wasted.
This is a personal vendetta. There is no reason not to report it.
"Lord Zhang, can the old bandits' nests around Taoyuan County find out the location?" Xu asked bitterly.
"Brother Xu, have you listened to the words of this county, you have already committed a serious crime."
"What kind of felony is it?"
"The production license documents for guns, spears, and arrows are all available in the county. It's just a little more to guard against the old bandits. ”
The drawings Xu Ku explained in detail, and the craftsmen present also thought they were making some ordinary objects.
It's good to have enough food and a salary.
Only Zhang Guangtai was so angry that he scolded his mother.
"Yes, it's all possible. But what did you make? This can fucking slaughter my Taoyuan County. ”
Dozens of torches were planted in the West Mountain Pass in the middle of the night, and there were many blacksmiths and carpenters in the county, and more than a dozen casting furnaces were started at the same time.
The red-hot iron embryo was smashed by the hammer, and the sawdust was blown all over the mountain by the night wind.
"Again, what is built separately is some farm tools or ordinary guns and arrows, and they are dismantled when they are used up."
Xu Ku smiled slyly, "What's more, it seems that we can't wait for us to use it, and someone will be willing to take over." ”
"Brother, this is nonsense. It's too late to hide this headless thing, and the crazy one takes it. ”
This is obviously perfunctory, and after this experience, I will stay away from this surnamed Xu. The money is earned quickly, and it has to be spent for life.
"Master, it's over, it's all over!"
There was a shout from outside the col, and Ma Delai came with a few officials running wildly, looking frightened. Zhang Guangtai got up busily.
"What's over? But an old bandit knocked on the door? ”
In the past two days, I have been worried about another bandit case, and this is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear about the incident.
"The cavalry team came, they were all soldiers, I haven't seen the style of the armor, Chen Shoubei led the team to stop it, and they were directly dispersed."
"Are there any casualties among the people of the county?"
"I didn't disturb the people of the county, but I ......"
Ma De came to take a look at Xu Ku, a little hesitant.
"Just what? Speak quickly. When is it, it's still spitting. Zhang Guangtai was a little displeased.
"The gate of our county government has been smashed. The leader came out and asked Brother Xu to hand over. ”
Smash the county office? Isn't that a rebellion?
There was a rebellion under his rule, and the resignation of his official position was doomed. If something really goes wrong, it's possible to lose your head.
But how does this have anything to do with Xu Ku again?
"Brother Xu, take your people and escape. After a while, when I arrived at the county office, the county only said that I hadn't seen you. ”
Zhang Guangtai's narrow eyes were full of bitterness.
Xu Ku's heart was hot. Zhang Guangtai can deal with this person. Don't look at the benefits you have received from yourself, you are really willing to do something.
"Ma Tou, it doesn't matter if you don't know the armor. Does the cavalry have a number or some other symbol? Xu asked bitterly.
"There is a flag, I didn't see it too clearly, and it was written ......"
"Tiger?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a tiger. Brother Xu, do you know? ”
Ma Delai looked at Xu Ku in surprise, and Zhang Guangtai also cast an inquiring gaze.
"The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, this is the right lord to find. Does Master Zhang know who the stolen firewood shopkeeper is? ”
"Is it a certain lady from the Wangjing Chai clan?"
Zhang Guangtai said tentatively.
"Her real name is Chai Youyou, the daughter of Chai Sanhu, the commander of the border army. Xiaohu is the battle flag of Chai Sanhu's personal guard. ”
"Master Zhang and Ma Tou'er should stay. After all, the door was smashed, and it was really the right side, and it was embarrassing to have too many people. ”
Xu Ku straightened his clothes, put the jailer's knife on his shoulder, and shouted with a little respect.
"The man who came with me came with me, let's go and meet the commander of the border army in this big mountain, how is his courage better than jumping from the city camp!"
……
"Lao Tzu gave the dog county order another stick of incense, and he couldn't hand over the jailer surnamed Xu, so he burned his bird's nest."
There was a chair in the middle of the front yard of the county government, and Chai Sanhu sat down, muttering words that made people dare not look up.
He Yuchun looked at his military commander helplessly. It's okay, it's just unreasonable and can't be changed.
The oars, knives, and tigers were all spread out by him and stared at the disarmed garrisons, so as not to be difficult to ride the tiger for a while.
On the one hand, there is a military commander, and on the other hand, there is a small proprietor who has the grace of life, and it is not right to help anyone.
He himself guarded the door to the county government's house, so as not to alarm the family members of the county order.
Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
"Master Jun, someone is here."
The master, who was busy serving tea and pouring water, shouted excitedly. It's coming. Later, who knows if he will be used as firewood.
At least the county government doesn't need to burn it.
"It's not too cowardly." Chai Sanhu commented.
When he raised his eyes when he heard the sound, he saw a group of people walking into the door, and they were not bent down at all by the calm momentum in this courtyard.
The old armor had been rusted, and the curls of the cloth were torn. On a flag erected, the word "jump" was shocking.
Jump camp?
Chai Sanhu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the young man carrying the knife who walked out alone, and the jailer's suit was particularly eye-catching.
"Xu Ku? Do you really dare to come? ”
Chai Sanhu War Hammer Stationed, stood up and said in a cold voice.
"Jailer Xu Ku, come to the military commander to save his life."
