Tai Shi Ci here hesitated a little after hearing this, and the strong man over there was already a hurry, and he put his hands together behind the cow's buttocks, and he actually hugged the black bull's two hind legs, and dragged the black bull alive. The strong man didn't answer to everyone, and with such a force, the cow was actually dragged back by him with his front hooves.

At this time, a few more people ran out of Zhuangkou, holding ropes in their hands, and shouted for the first old man, "Zhongkang be careful, don't hurt the corbel!" Immediately afterwards, the villagers who came up hurriedly put the oxen on a leash and pulled them to the farm.

Liu Tianhao saw that the strong man was mighty, dragging the ox with his bare hands, and he was speechless, but when he heard that the old man called the strong man Zhongkang, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly turned around and asked Mi Zhu and the others.

"This is Pei County?" A servant nodded yes.

Liu Tianhao hurriedly turned his head to take a closer look at the strong man, only to see that he was about twenty years old, more than eight feet tall, with a waist circumference three times that of himself, a face, and a very vicious appearance at first glance. This is seven or eight points consistent with the person in his memory, and he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly,

"In front, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang?"

The strong man looked up at Liu Tianhao and his entourage, and replied, "It is Xu Chu." After that, he didn't answer.

But the old man next to him was exquisite, seeing the coldness, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Idiot is unreasonable!" There are guests coming from afar, so please enter the village as soon as possible. ”

Liu Tianhao and the three hurriedly dismounted to thank them.

After the greetings, the old man led a group of people to the village. Liu Tianhao and the old man walked in front, and as they walked, they turned their heads to look at Xu Chu, and found that Xu Chu was following behind, but from time to time he stared at Tai Shici and the batches of horses, his eyes were quite hot.

This old man is Xu Chu's father and the current patriarch of the Xu clan. The group followed Xu Chu and his son to his house. After all, he is the head of a family, and although Xu Chu's house is also made of mud, it also has a huge yard, and a lot of wooden piers are placed in the yard.

It seems that this Xu Chu family is often full of guests and friends.

The accompanying servants led the horses and tied them to the stake at the door, and Liu Tianhao and the three of them entered the courtyard. After a few people sat down on the wooden pier, they said their names to each other, and the Xu family served herbal tea.

Liu Tianhao thought to himself, although this Xu Chu family is in the countryside, they are also knowledgeable.

After drinking a few sips of tea to quench his hunger and thirst, Liu Tianhao asked the father and son of the Xu family, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, there is a panic in the village, what happened?" ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "Today, the imperial court does not cultivate politics, and the local government does not take care of the people's livelihood, resulting in the displacement of people everywhere, and there are more and more people who rob homes and houses. Twenty miles to the southwest, there is a Hao Mountain, and since last month, a group of grass bandits, about twenty or thirty people, have flowed from nowhere, harassing nearby villages and official merchants. The day before yesterday, he came to my Xujia Village to ask for food and money, and injured more than a dozen of my villagers. The thieves did not steal any of their possessions, and threatened to return them soon. Sure enough, it came again today, thanks to Zhong Kang's clever plan, so that the whole village of old and young people picked up big fist stones and placed them in front of the village. Before the thieves entered the village, Zhong Kang waved the stones and shot them out one by one, and the twenty or thirty thieves were all stones, and they couldn't enter an inch. ”

Liu Tianhao thought to himself after hearing this, what a Xu Zhongkang, such a mighty and majestic person, is also coarse and fine, and gave birth to such a clever plan.

Looking at Xu Chu again, he didn't listen to anyone's words, staring at Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci did not show weakness on his side. It seemed as if a spark was about to burst between the two.

Seeing this, Liu Tianhao hurriedly said, "Zhongkang is really a brave and resourceful hero. ”

After that, Feng turned around again, "I expected that with Zhong Kang's skills, it would be difficult to eradicate those thirty or twenty grass cobs, why is it just defense now?" It is necessary to know that the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should raise the three-foot Qingfeng, sweep away the traitors, protect the people, and make immortal achievements. ”

Xu Chu listened to Liu Tianhao's words thoroughly this time, but he was still silent.

Father Xu sighed when he heard this, and said, "Zhongkang is a majestic and good man of my Xu family, but the other clansmen in Xujia Village are not martial; There were no horses or weapons in the whole village, and I was afraid that Zhong Kang would go alone and be harmed, so I did not agree. ”

Liu Tianhao laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang, and the dragon is swimming in the shallows, Zhongkang should be very annoyed, right?" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the servant outside the door, "Come, bring me spear and sword." ”

Outside the door, a servant took Liu Tianhao's spear and sword and ran in and presented it to Liu Tianhao.

Liu Tianhao said to Xu Chu, "I don't know what kind of weapon Zhongkang likes to use?" However, Ziyi and I are both people who use guns, Zhongkang and use my gun and sword, and you can choose one of the three horses outside, so let Ziyi accompany you to the mountain for a ride, okay? ”

Xu Chu stood up with a swish, but he didn't take the shot or sword, but turned his head to look like his father.

Father Xu saw that Xu Chu had already stood up, so he didn't hesitate and said, "Since Mr. is so arrogant, Zhongkang still doesn't thank you?" I think that Ziyi's brave martial arts are on par with Zhongkang, and this must be safe. ”

Xu Chu heard that his father had already agreed, so he took the gun and sword presented by the servant and thanked Liu Tianhao.

Liu Tianhao continued, "That Haoshan is not far from this Xujiazhuang, and now it is just past noon, Zhong Kang Ziyi is going, the thief will turn his hand, and he should be able to return before dark." We will prepare wine and food in Xujiazhuang to celebrate your achievements. After that, he looked at Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu.

Tai Shici had already stood up, and the two walked up to Liu Tianhao with both hands and said, "I will not disgrace my mission." "Just walk out.
