"In that case, let Xi'er go along."

Zhu Di waved his hand.

Nothing to retreat from.

Next.

The mighty carriage departed from Yingtianfu.

Lin Hao was dressed in a bright red official robe, leaning lazily on the frame, and the two of them helped Lin Hao pinch his shoulders.

"Master, Su asked the outstanding people of Luling, a nine-jinshi, father and son to explore the flowers, uncles and nephews to explore the flowers, two prime ministers across the river, five miles and three champions, nine sons and ten governors, ten miles and nine politics, one hundred steps and two books, and it is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, how to be pleasant."

Momoko looked at the mountains and rivers outside the carriage with a longing expression.

Lin Hao pursed his lips, he had really been to Luling County once, and the roads were all dangerous, the roads were rugged, and sometimes he had to change waterways.

How can there be such convenient transportation in later generations, it is simply torturous.

Lianyue was faintly moved, and a strange hope flashed in her eyes.

"Ning'er, that Lin Hao is simply too much, he is obviously ordered to go to Jiangnan Mansion to build a water system, but he still takes two maids to serve, and he doesn't take Ning'er in his eyes at all."

Zhuxi listened to the talk and laughter in Lin Hao's frame in front of him, and his heart became more and more irritable.

This kind of greedy woman, my father doesn't know what to think, and let me grasp it well.

"Since ancient times, there have been many talented people, not to mention that Brother Lin is not the kind of person you imagined."

Princess Xianning didn't care, but focused on the script.

The prince pushed the princess who had not passed through the door against the wall, felt the hot snort, and smiled crookedly: "I want you to be dyed with my smell, you can't escape in this life, you will be my woman in this life." ”

……

The sand sculpture palace of later generations, the princess Xianning who saw it was called a flower branch trembling.

It's night.

Everyone boarded the painting boat to cross the river.

There was a faint coolness on the river, Princess Xianning and Zhuxi, leaning against the window, looking at the desolate river, and constantly sighing.

The sound of chanting came from Lin Hao's room.

"The remnant snow is condensed and the screen is cold. The plum flute has been changed three times. ”

"There is no one else."

……

Hearing this, Zhu Xi pursed his lips: "I didn't expect this Lin Hao to be quite talented, the words are written well, but he is a little worse." ”

Princess Xianning was flushed, her eyes slightly closed, and she felt the bursts of pleasure on her body.

"I am a melancholy guest in the world, and I know what the king is crying about."

"The sound of broken intestines recalls his life."

After speaking, Lin Hao picked up the contents of the cup and drank it all.

On the painting boat, everyone is preoccupied.

……

Xichang Mansion.

The subordinate is called Qiaotou Township, in the quarry opened by the county magistrate and the squire.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was covered in injuries, lay down against the earthen wall, holding a lotus leaf in his hand, and the overseer gave him half a spoonful of corn rice and threw down an egg: "This is a good job, reward you!" ”

Feeling the gazes of the servants around him, Zhu Gaoxu stuffed the lotus leaf into his arms and stared at a few people.

If you want to live here, you have to be more ruthless than others, and this poor corn is the hope of living.

Several big men got up and surrounded Zhu Gaoxu, and one of them, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek servant, took out a half-broken Pu knife out of nowhere.

"If you know each other, hand them over quickly, eggs are not something that a pariah like you can eat!"

The requisition shook the half-handled sword in his hand and threatened.

Zhu Gaoxu endured the severe pain caused by the injury, and directly burst out, picked up a stone, and slammed it into the head of the servant.

One time!

Twice!

Until the blood flowed and the brains splattered.

The strong smell of blood in the air made Zhu Gaoxu faintly nauseated, and only then did he regain a little clarity and throw down the slimy stone in his hand.

Tightly from the arms of the servant who had not yet died, he took out two steamed buns stained with blood, stuffed them into his mouth and gnawed them.

None of the surrounding conscripts dared to step forward again.

The overseer with a whistle stick opened the prison door, rushed in and was punched and kicked, and beckoned to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu stubbornly protected his head, still nibbling on the steamed buns, but there was a smile in his eyes.

He knew that these people would not really want their lives, and now that the government had given the construction period, if it could not be completed, these overseers would all have to be beheaded.

The former servant of the sharp-beaked monkey was already a dead man, and he could still work.

Sure enough, after the overseer vented, he dragged the corpse of the conscription and walked out, and before leaving, he didn't forget to put down a cruel sentence: "If you are not honest, I will kill you!" ”

But he didn't notice that the key on his waist had already fallen into Zhu Gaoxu's hands.

Zhu Gaoxu took out the dead slave knife from the thatch and examined the prisoner.

The servants were flustered in their hearts, this was the master who really dared to kill, so they handed the few grains to the cloth bags in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu was satisfied with tying up the cloth bag, peeling off the egg, and swallowing it in one gulp under the envious gaze of everyone.

He knew that this Qiaotou Township was a ten-day walk from Xichang Mansion, and he was seriously injured, and it would take at least 15 days to reach Xichang Mansion.

Along the way, if you want to avoid the pursuit of the overseers, you can only go to the mountains and forests, and food has become the most critical link.

……

Night.

Zhu Gaoxu quietly used the stolen key to open the prison door.

Silently, the overseer who drank the two rotten mouths wiped their necks, took a sip of the wine cup, picked up the roast chicken that had eaten the remaining half, swallowed the saliva subconsciously, and stuffed it into the backpack.

In the prison, the other conscripts did not dare to speak, because they knew that even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the overseers, and once they were caught, it would be a dead end, and they were only recruited people, and as long as the construction period was completed, they would be allowed to go home.

Only a man with a rough face and a body full of tendons and flesh followed Zhu Gaoxu out of the prison, took out two large coins from the overseer, and some copper, and handed them to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the Hun people, stuffed the copper into his arms, and left the quarry by taking advantage of the moonlight.

It wasn't until the sky brightened slightly and he escaped for dozens of miles that Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed a handful of corn from his backpack, broke a chicken leg, and handed it to Hun Ren: "If you escape, if you are caught, it is a capital crime, why are you willing to leave?" ”

"My family of three brothers, I am the youngest, the eldest brother and the second brother were all conscripted, none of them came back, even if they survived this time, how could they be spared again and again, I can see that adults are people who do great things, only by following you, can we go further."

Hun Man smiled and scratched his head.

Although he was born poor, he has an excellent mind, from the moment Zhu Gaoxu first arrived at the quarry, he was noticed by him, and his words and deeds are by no means ordinary people.

……

Ten days later.

Lin Hao and his entourage traveled to the territory of Xichang Mansion.

Three thousand Imperial Forest troops set up camp outside the city.

Song Li stepped down from the carriage, but he didn't see Xichang Zhixian coming to greet him for a long time, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

He is a dignified secretary of the Ministry of Works, located in the ranks of Jiuqing, to this small Xichang Mansion, but the county has never gone out of the city to greet him.
