In the middle of the night, the entire Ping'an Town seemed to have become a dead city. Two or three wild dogs followed the smell, and when they saw the crowd, they barked unwillingly, and turned around and ran away.

"This wild dog still has blood on it." Xing Xiaojiu said in a condensed voice, "Dongjia, did you say that there were people dead in the city, and they were gouged by wild dogs before they were buried?" ”

Chen Jing did not reply. Today's Ping'an Town is in shambles, and dead people are commonplace. For today's plan, first find a place to settle down. Then contact the people in the city, cooperate with the people of Yuan Siqiao outside, and let Mr. Big leave the town.

Of course, regarding Xia Chong, who was arrested and imprisoned, Chen Jing didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Brother Chen, you grew up here. Then you said, "Where are you going?" ”

Chen Jing thought for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Mr. Big with a tired face. Yuan Siqiao did not contact him, that is, someone was already doing it.

Sure enough, by Mr. Big's side. The dead guard, who was not smiling, nodded at Chen Jing.

"Don't worry, I left marks along the way. The righteous of the city will come soon. Brother Chen, it's better to find a place to rest for the time being. ”

"That's what you mean, come with me first."

It seemed to be close but not far away, and the footsteps of the battalion patrolling could be faintly heard, as well as the sound of the trumpet. As soon as I walked out of the yard, I didn't know what was going on, and I heard a few fights, but they quickly disappeared.

Relying on the familiarity of the long alley, Chen Jing took a few people and went around to a remote dilapidated courtyard.

There was no signal on Yuan Siqiao's side, and under this situation, Chen Jing did not dare to take Mr. Da and rushed to the West City Gate.

"It's all battalions outside." The dead guard's name was Huang Hu, and he had the ability to discern, and at this time the urn spoke angrily.

Chen Jing frowned. Although he entered the city, the entire Ping'an Town was still full of crises. In less than an hour, at least three battalions patrolled the vicinity.

"Mr. Big, how is your body?"

"Nothing." Mr. Big smiled and spoke, still sitting upright. Only the yellow tiger next to him suddenly turned gloomy.

"Boss, you listen outside." Xing Xiaojiu walked back, his tone anxious.

When Chen Jing pricked up his ears to listen, he found that around the broken courtyard, there was a sudden sound of bangs.

"It's been three watches...... No, he hit four bangs. Tai Shiqing, who was beside him, suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Jing.

Three more time, one slow and two empty, only three. And the husband outside knocked on one more shot.

You must know that in ancient times, the time reference was dominated by sundials during the day, and at night, the time was heralded by the husband. Generally speaking, if you make a living as a husband, you will hardly go wrong for decades.

Death guard Huang Hu suddenly understood, quickly stood up, and swept out. After a short time, he hurried back with a man who looked like a husband.

"Rather die than live silently. Husband Li Tong, I've seen Mr. Big! ”

"There are Lo Yimen."

The husband nodded, looked around again, and looked at Chen Jing and the others.

"A few people, I can go to the people who preach the righteousness."

……

Chen Jing was originally worried that there would be problems with her husband. But fortunately, not long after, more than a dozen righteous people rushed to the broken courtyard.

There are Jianghu people covering bamboo hats, horsemen in the town, scholars and scholars, jailers, and even an old flower girl in the south of the city actually grabbed a dagger and rushed over.

Chen Jing could see it amazingly. What kind of force should be there to bring these people together?

"Brother Chen, do you know what was inside the wooden box you picked up at the beginning?"

"What is it?"

"It's the list of the righteous people."

"Why don't you burn it?"

"What Chief Yuan means, he doesn't want these people to be nameless and unrighteous. He said that these people deserve to be heroes in the world, and if they forget their names, it will not be easy to worship in the future. ”

"Understood."

Chen Jing nodded, falling back into deep thought. Now, he needs to come up with a foolproof plan and leave with Mr. Big.

Again, Yuan Siqiao is an extremely smart person. If it's just to escort him out of the city from east to west, he doesn't need to bother with this matter at all, let him enter the game.

Perhaps in the bottom of Yuan Siqiao's heart, there is still some kind of concern.

"Brother Chen, what should I do now?"

"Wait for the beacon signal from Chief Helmsman Yuan first."

Chen Jing rubbed his forehead, while there was still some time, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the black wooden card given by Yuan Siqiao and calmly put it on the ground.

"Is there a jailer?" Earlier, he had seen two jailers. He was still on duty, but he ran over all of a sudden.

The two jailers recognized the black wooden card and walked over to Chen Jing and gave it to him.

"Head catcher Xia Chong, can you be in the prison now?"

The two jailers looked stunned.

"Don't ask, he's also a righteous man."

"This brother...... But the surname Chen? ”

"Exactly!" Chen Jing's voice was excited.

"That's easy to say. Xia Zhutou was in prison, and he often talked about Brother Chen. The situation has been too chaotic recently, and he asked me to go to find you, explain to you a few times, and leave Ping'an Town first. ”

Chen Jing hung his head, his eyes red. In his impression, Xia Chong has always been like a brother, guiding him step by step.

The jailer who spoke laughed and walked out suddenly. It was about half an hour later that he came back again, and in the dimness, he was still holding a staggering figure.

Seeing only that figure, Chen Jing hurriedly got up and greeted him.

The person who was supported was none other than Xia Chong. At this time, he was wearing prison clothes, covered in blood, and his hands were ten fingers, as Tai Shiqing said, he had already been picked by a bamboo knife and bluffed with difficulty.

"Brother Chen......" Xia Chong raised his head, there was still light in his eyes, and he squeezed out a smile at Chen Jing.

"Xia Zhutou, sit down first."

"The two of us have always known the righteousness of Xia Zhutou. That Xu Lingjun was swept in the face, thinking about beating Xia Zhutou to death in prison. I'll find a way to save it. I'm good at ventriloquism, and this time I want to go to Juyi, so I pretended to pass on the order of the general above, and killed three jailers who were in the way, and rescued Xia Zhutou. ”

"Thank you." Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, helped Xia Chong, and sat in the corner. He already had a plan, and when he escorted Mr. Big out of the town, he would find a way to take Xia Chong back to the racecourse, even if it cost a thousand taels of silver, he would change Xia Chong's identity and live in peace.

"If Brother Chen is in trouble, I can probably still hold the knife......" Xia Chong coughed, and his body collapsed weakly and fainted again.

Chen Jinggang was about to untie his robe.

found that there was already a pair of thin hands next to him, covering Xia Chong's body.

He looked back and saw Mr. Big's tired, thin face.

"In this world, anyone who dares to argue for reason can be regarded as a hero." Mr. Big was silent and spoke.

Chen Jing clenched his fists.

In the broken courtyard, more than a dozen other people also raised their heads. Just like them, in their lives, they have encountered all kinds of things and seen the decay of the world. will hang his head, pick up the knife, and want to keep the last light of the dynasty and stand between heaven and earth.

"Chen Jing, do you know my name?" Mr. Big sat down and wrapped himself in his robe.

"I don't know."

"My father was a tenant farmer and had no education, and in the year I was born, in order to save fifty yuan in ink money. He carried me to the old man's house at the head of the village, and wanted someone to help him choose the name. ”

"The son of a tenant farmer is like a calf in their eyes, and he is not worth mentioning. In the end, I got a name for Zhao Shengniu. I can imagine how happy they laughed when they took that name. The Zhao family has a son, and he is a cow in this life. ”

Mr. Big spoke calmly, his voice unhurried.

"Many people say that in my life, Zhao Shengniu, I should be like my father, be an honest tenant, and don't want to study and go to the exam. But I changed my life against the tide and came to this point. ”

"Why didn't Mr. Big change his name?"

Mr. Big smiled, "Why do you want to change, the son of a farmer, it's not something unseemly." There is hope in the heart, and everything can be expected. ”

"I had a conversation with a friend and said something similar."

"Today's Da Ran Dynasty is full of devastation, dead everywhere, no sunshine, and no breeze in the world."

After a while, Mr. Big raised his head again, and there were stars in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed to the night sky above him.

"But in this world, this world, this temple and the rivers and lakes, the only thing that can make you and I die and live after death is the hope in our hearts, like a fire that never goes out, like a fire burning the plain, like a starlight!"

"Roar!"

After only a pause, the people in the courtyard rolled their throats and let out bursts of angry roars.
