Chasing out of the village, the old farmer's face had a knowing smile.

His son, who was walking forward in three steps and two turns, was just as fast as a toddler could catch up with him.

After walking a few steps, the old farmer came to his son's side.

"Let's go."

The old peasant's voice was low, as if the soul of the past had returned to him.

"Grandpa."

The young man looked at the thing hanging from the old peasant's waist in shock, and for a moment he was a little speechless.

"Alas, your grandfather and I used to be in the army, but after all these years, I don't know if I can still wield this sword, let's take one step at a time."

"Hmm."

The young man nodded with a heavy expression.

"Go wherever you want, an old bone has lived long enough, and it will be enough to teach you something at the end."

The old farmer smiled, and looked at his third child's eyes much softer, just like when the child had just come out of the mother's womb.

“.. Grandpa"

Being looked at by the old farmer like this, the young man's eyes were hot and moist.

Seeing him in such a manner, the old farmer smiled even more happily.

In the past, when the child lost a fight outside, he would come back with red eyes like this and tell him, and then let himself teach him a few tricks.

It's just that year after year, the burden of life weighs down the whole family, and Sanwa may have forgotten that his grandfather once taught him to fight all over the village The existence of an invincible hand against naughty boys.

"Let's go."

"Have you figured out where to go?"

patted Sanwa on the shoulder, the old farmer pushed Sanwa, and the two walked on the path outside the village.

"Well, yes, the merchant who came to our village last year said that if you go to the northeast, you will always find a place to live."

"I didn't know what this merchant meant, but the Taiping Army, which has been in a lot of trouble recently, seems to be in Qingzhou, and I thought, that's what the merchant said."

"Then this road is not close, the Han army, bandits, city guards, beasts, snakes and insects may kill us, do you really think about it?"

The old farmer used to be a Han warrior, and he had some experience in marching, and knew the dangers of the road from here to Qingzhou, although he was ready to teach his son the last lesson, but he still reminded his son.

Sanwa lowered his head for a long time and did not answer, and it could be seen from his slightly trembling body that he was also worried about something at the moment.

Long.

Sanwa raised her head, her face full of determination.

"Go!"

"No matter how bad it is, it's just death, grandpa, how much better can we be than death now!?"

"Well, it's good to be prepared, then let's go, Grandpa will accompany you through this last journey."

The old farmer's face did not change anything because of Sanwa's answer, as he said before, he was ready.

The figures of an old man and a young man gradually disappeared outside the village.

With the departure of both of them.

Gradually, the rest of the village residents walked out of the village.

A village that was still populated yesterday has ten rooms and nine empty rooms by dusk today.

And those who remain, there is no hope for life in their eyes.

——

"Brother Yuan Shao, slow down! It's already in the Han army patrol area! ”

Outside the area controlled by the Qingzhou Taiping Army.

Several young people in disguise were shuttling through the mountains and forests.

Pei Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the young man behind him who whispered to dissuade him, and his steps slowed down.

"Patrolling?"

Pei Yuan Shao looked surprised.

This legging works so well?!

After walking so far, there is still strength left, not as before.

The young man nodded like a chicken pecking rice, his face full of worry: "When it's here, I remember the map that Qu Shuai gave me very clearly." ”

"Haha, Xiaohua's brain is easy to use, much stronger than us."

A middle-aged strong man with a scruffy beard next to the young man called Xiaohua grabbed his shoulder and praised him.

"Hehe, in fact, it's not that powerful, it's still Brother Guan Hai, Brother Yuan Shao, Brother Zou Cang, Brother He Man, Brother Sun Guan, you are amazing."

"If it weren't for the strength of a few brothers, our Wu wouldn't have been collectively named by Qu Shuai, hehe."

Xiaohua, the youngest in this army, is only fifteen this year, he and these brothers in this army are all refugees who were rescued when their own Qu Shuai went all the way east, don't look at how many taels of meat everyone has on them now, they all looked like skin and bones at the beginning.

That is, after entering the Taiping Army, life is getting better day by day.

Fortunately, none of them have fallen behind since following Qu Shuai, and after eating and having the strength, each of his brothers can be called murderers.

Originally, it stands to reason that several elder brothers have enough military merits to be promoted, but I don't know what they discussed, and finally decided to stay together.

Because they have always been reluctant to be promoted, they are considered to be the group of people who can often see Qu Shuai, and I don't know if Qu Shuai has a pair of discerning eyes, anyway, Qu Shuai has been here a few times.

Qu Shuai's personal guards often come to compete in martial arts, saying that it is a competition, but Xiaohua knows that those personal guards should be ordered by Qu Shuai to come and guide.

After having the guidance of those guards who can treat the Han army who can be called a warrior in their eyes as their grandsons, the elder brothers in their army are really the same every day, their martial arts are getting better and better, and they can still have meat from Qu Shuai every day.

And he Xiaohua also followed these brothers to live a life like a paradise.

However, the magnates killed that day did not see the poor people living a good life, and it was not long before the army besieged the area where they were stationed.

Fortunately, Qu Shuai had a ravine in his heart, and the night attack for several nights was finally successful, which repelled the Han army.

It was also after the night attack that he made the first contribution to this army, and after some inquiries from Qu Shuai, several brothers were still reluctant to be promoted, which led to the fact that Qu Shuai later gave his name and was included in the personal guard.

has a name and a surname, which can only be found in a solid family or even a noble family, Xiaohua and they used to be at the bottom of the poor, and they never dreamed of having their own name.

That's it, their Qu Shuai took out a thick book called paper combination, and then named one by one.

In the end, the six names of Liao Hua, Pei Yuan Shao, Guan Hai, Zou Cang, He Man, and Sun Guan were decided.

Listen to Qu Shuai.

These six names were personally given by the great sage and mentor who had been behind the scenes to solve their food, clothing, and armaments.

It's all everyone with names and surnames in the book.

Xiaohua didn't know what the words were, but they were very powerful anyway.

Xiaohua smiled.

Pei Yuan Shao, who was the leader, walked over angrily and patted his head.

"Don't be stupid, think about it, where is the point of connection that Qu Shuai said, we are going to bring back those suffering compatriots quickly."

"The kind of days we came through, I don't want to see others suffer again!"

"Knowing Brother Yuan Shao, you wait for me."

After that, Xiao Hua closed his eyes and carefully recalled the map that they had handed him before leaving.

Their mission this time was to find loopholes in the area patrolled by the Han army, and then try to bring the refugees from all over the country back to the rear of Qingzhou.

This mission was very difficult, but after Qu Shuai confessed, none of his brothers refused.

And so he is!
