Chapter Twenty-Three: Life Is Like a Mustard

When the first person rode over Zhao Lei, his hairs stood on end.

But fortunately, the dozen or so people just crossed over this dry ditch, and they didn't find anything abnormal, and they didn't stop too much.

It wasn't until the last person also left that Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

And these people just rode around on their horses, and then went back, thinking that they would not be attacked here.

Perhaps the greatest danger to them is those who are caught by them.

And these people also wanted to hurry back and enjoy their spoils, for there were already voices of women struggling and crying in the camp.

Hearing these voices, the five or six cavalrymen let out a strange laugh, and the monkey hurriedly returned to the camp.

Zhao Lei watched these five or six people return to the camp before he took his head back.

He looked at the situation in front of him and estimated that these people should have stopped here to rest.

Zhao Lei didn't believe that after these soldiers were relaxed, they would do their duty in the second half of the night, escorting these people all night and rushing back.

Zhao Lei put those withered grass mats on the bar, and after setting them in a good position, he lay on them and squinted.

There are so many people outside, there is a lot of movement when he sets off, and he can't move for a while, he sleeps shallowly, and he is not afraid of oversleeping.

However, even if Zhao Lei slept, he did not relax at all, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, so that he could shoot at any time.

There are many people outside, and all the mosquitoes are attracted, and there is chalcedony in his body, and there are very few mosquitoes here in Zhao Lei.

And because the people outside are far away, there are only occasional faint sounds of crying and scolding, which cannot affect Zhao Lei's sleep.

After only a while, a subtle snoring sound came from Zhao Lei's nose, and before the sound could come out of the small ditch, it was blown away by the breeze.

"Ahh

A sharp and piercing voice came in the early morning, Zhao Lei subconsciously pulled out the long knife, stood up with a rub, looked around, and found that there was no one coming.

With a sigh of relief, he half-bent over and looked not far away.

It turned out to be the group of cavalry, driving this group of people to prepare to set off.

Zhao Lei just saw from a distance that a child, unable to distinguish between men and women, pounced on a long-haired woman on the ground, crying there.

Beside him, a bearded man, with his chest open, was holding the rope at his foot and pulling back, and the child tried with all his might to grab the woman on the ground, but the woman did not react at all.

But how could this eight or nine-year-old boy be the opponent of this big man, who lifted him up with just one hand, and then fell to the ground, and suddenly disappeared.

And the rope on the woman's body had been untied as early as last night.

These hundreds of people, after these cavalrymen were dressed neatly, were gathered by them with long whips, and in less than half a pillar of incense, they began to hit the road.

And there were only four or five women who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and a child.

After Zhao Lei saw them set off, he bypassed their previous camp far away and followed behind them.

The journey was dull, Zhao Lei had been following them for two days, even if he had been nourished by chalcedony and fairy grass, he had been tense and vigilant all the time, and he couldn't stand it a little.

Fortunately, it was finally about to arrive, because he already had an impression of this neighborhood, and if I remember correctly, it was now more than 20 miles away from Pingyang City.

Zhao Lei looked at this impressive environment, he slowed down, and he didn't plan to continue to follow them.

There was no way before, but now that there are other choices, it is natural to find a way to infiltrate Pingyang City.

……

Zhu Wei looked at the sun in the sky, scolding in his mouth, now this hot day is just right to lie at home to enjoy the cool, and then hold the girls in his arms, humming a little song.

It's like suffering from this now, Zhu Wei, who has been exposed to the sun for the past two days, can't find the north.

It was only when he saw his own capture behind him that he felt better.

Thinking about coming out by himself, let alone one or two thousand taels of silver gross profit, in addition to the care and filial piety of the upper and lower levels, it is estimated that he can also have a few hundred taels of silver in his pocket.

I thought that after I finished this trip, I would be able to go to Xiuchun Building again for a while.

After the last time he went there, he was still thinking about the Chun'er girl inside.

Thinking about it, Zhu Wei laughed out loud, and couldn't help but speed up.

After Zhu Wei increased his speed, his subordinates naturally did not dare to drag, and waved the whip in his hand to speed up the speed of travel.

At this time, one of Zhu Wei's subordinates watched Zhu Wei swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he was very eye-catching, he quickly unscrewed the kettle in his hand and handed it to Zhu Wei.

"Great work, sir! The little me mixed this water with honey, which is just right for quenching my thirst and cooling down. ”

Zhu Wei glanced up and down at his subordinate, took the kettle, and poured it directly with his head up, until all the water was drunk, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zhu Wei turned his horse's head and said to the dozens of cavalrymen behind him:

"Brothers have worked hard, I just came here, and I am very unfamiliar with Pingyang County, and I have to rely on you brothers in the future!

When this stroke is completed, brother, I will take you brothers to have a good rub. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, Mr. Put!"

After listening to Zhu Wei's promise, the people under Zhu Wei instantly cheered up and thanked one after another.

Zhu Wei watched the performance of these dozens of soldiers in his eyes, especially a few of them with gloomy faces.

This mission cost Zhu Wei a lot of money to get it.

He had offended people before, and he was only driven to Pingyang City last month.

And after Zhu Wei came to Pingyang City, because he was parachuted, the people under his hands were very unfamiliar.

In particular, his nominal second-in-command, Lu Tong, has always put him in the air and has no rights at all.

Zhu Wei's task this time was that he spent more than a hundred taels of silver and a treasured piece of jade pendant to dredge up the relationship, so he got this opportunity to be alone with his subordinates.

Zhu Wei has not put any shelf on the way here, so he wants to take this opportunity to take them to make a fortune together.

As long as these dozens of cavalrymen followed him and made a fortune, then his purpose would be more than half achieved.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they naturally understand what they should do in the future.

After that, they will slowly favor themselves, after all, a boss with a good temper who can also bring them to make a fortune can not be encountered.

This kind of thing has always been done by Lu Tong with his subordinates before, but he not only drinks the blood of soldiers, but also only gives a small profit to his subordinates every time.

Lu Tong relied on his identity as the son-in-law of the Li family to be unscrupulous, and the people under his hands had already endured it for a long time.

It's just that in this year, you can still eat a mouthful of food, and everyone endures it.
