As soon as the work stopped, the air on the construction site was much better.

Meng Changqing, Xi Bei, and Chu Mufeng stood on the city wall, looking north.

Looking at it, Chu Mufeng took out the jerky from his pocket and ate it, and just as he was about to tighten the mouth of the bag, there was an extra hand next to him, "Lord Bai." Meng Changqing smiled and said, "Is there a lot?" ”

Chu Mufeng gave her the bag of dried meat, "Although it's not much, Master Meng still has something to eat." ”

"Lord Bai is polite, when I return to Beijing, I will pay you back." Meng Changqing walked up to Xi Bei's side, "Master, divide half of you." ”

The three of them stood on the city wall and chewed on the jerky, and the salty and fragrant smell of meat seemed a little abrupt in this barren land.

When will there be surplus grain to feed livestock in this land, and when will the people here be able to eat such jerky?

Separated by a wall, a campfire dotted in the night on one side, and a boundless darkness on the other.

Meng Changqing suddenly spoke, "Master, have you ever been further north?" ”

Xi Bei said: "When the Yan army was strangled, I followed their remnants all the way across the river, and there were a few small villages on the other side of the river, and I only went there. ”

"Where's Lord Bai?" Meng Changqing asked again.

"Lord Meng laughed, Xia Guan still followed Lord Meng out of the capital, and he went to the northernmost position, which is the city wall at his feet."

"When can we go further north?"

"Lord Meng is talking about Daozhou?" Chu Mufeng said, "It has been nearly 70 years since Daliang lost Dazhou, and the former emperor also made a determination to recover Dazhou, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

Fourteen years ago, Daliang lost General Ning Yuan again, and now the imperial court is very conservative about war.

If you want to take back Dazhou, you must be born. ”

Meng Changqing said, "Good generals are not waiting to come. ”

Chu Mufeng asked, "Does Master Meng want to be this good general?" ”

"Who doesn't want to be a good general?" Meng Changqing asked Chu Mufeng rhetorically, "Don't you want Lord Bai?" ”

There was a moment of panic on Chu Mufeng's face, "Naturally." ”

"When my Beishan County becomes rich and strong, it is the best pedal to take back Dazhou."

On the camp, there were more torches in front of the stove, and Xi Bei only glanced over there to know that the porridge was placed.

"Hago!" Xi Bei shouted at the figure practicing in the distance: "Go and ask for a bowl of porridge for Master!" ”

"Hey!"

Porridge is not drunk in order of how much work is done, and whoever comes first will drink it first.

Meizi carried her big bowl and lined up with the two strange women in front of her, and the people in their group went back, and she was the only one living in such a big hole.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people here, and there were guards patrolling outside from time to time, so she didn't feel scared.

It's just that the people who used to talk around are gone, and it's inevitable that there is some loneliness.

"It's still as good as it is now, and working separately saves some people's eyes." The woman in front of Meizi patted the person in front of her, "Don't miss your father, although I can't stay in one place all the time now, everyone is working on this land, and I can often see it." ”

While talking, it was their turn to enter the stove room, and the two of them took the porridge, found a place in the corner of the stove room, sat down and drank.

Meizi thought about what she had just heard halfway through, and sat down behind them.

"I don't care if I work separately, but if I live separately and have to be separated like this, it makes people feel ...... Why can't you dig another pit next to it? Officials always only want to be convenient for themselves, and they don't care what the people do. ”

Meizi understood, and the two people behind her were the people of Beishan County.

But why do they still say that the county lord of Beishan County is not good? Meizi really can't figure it out, is there a better official in the world than this county lord? Her life was saved by the master.

When Meizi was about to defend the county lord, the person who spoke had already covered his mouth, "Ouch, you can be quiet, in case the officers and soldiers hear you talking about him, your head still doesn't want it." ”

Out of the stove room, Meizi followed them along the way, and followed them for a while, listening to one of the young women, who always complained about how strict the county officials were, she couldn't bear it any longer, and walked a few steps quickly to stop in front of the two.

"I've been listening to you, look at you are from Beishan County, why do you keep saying that the lord of this county is not?" Meizi said, "I've never heard of what you said, and you think too badly of the county master." ”

"Who are you? How do you help the officer speak? Yu Xing asked.

"Hey." The woman next to her grabbed Yu Xing, "It's not taboo to talk like your father." ”

She smiled at Meizi, "This eldest sister, she is just a child, she is young and ignorant, you must not worry about her, if there is anything unpleasant, just scold her, don't alarm the officers and soldiers for this little thing." ”

"You shouldn't be young and evil." Meizi said, "If such an official still says that he is not good, there will be no good officials in the world." ”

Yu Xing lowered his head and let the person in front of him say something and didn't dare to fight back.

"Alright, alright." The woman next to her stopped Meizi, who was getting more and more energetic as she spoke, "Sister, just say a few words, don't shout too loudly, we won't be able to please any of us if you attract officers and soldiers." ”

"Hey, big sister, which county are you from?" The woman pulled the plum and diverted the topic as she walked.

"Liangzhou's."

"Your family lives in Liangzhou, why didn't you go back?" The woman gave Yu Xing a look and asked her to go first.

"I'm not physically strong, and I'm too tired to come and go."

"Yes, if there is nothing to worry about at home, there is really no need to go back every time you change shifts." The woman asked again: "Have you dealt with the county lord of Beishan County?" ”

"No, he was kind enough to save me." Meizi said, "I fainted on the first day I came, and it was he who saved me and let me rest for a day, and I didn't dare to say anything about it."

Such a good official, why do you still say that he is not good? ”

"Eldest sister, you came late and don't know what is ahead of us." The woman said, "The county lord saved you, so you think he is a good person."

But there are more people in front of us than you know. The woman left, "I don't know if the county lord is a good person, but I know that he is a ruthless person."

Meizi feels that this person is abnormal, a person who has done a good deed, and has to be said, 'I don't know if he is a good person', it is really incomprehensible.

A good deed is a good deed, and if he does it, you will benefit, and you will inherit his favor.

Meizi kept the appearance of the two in her heart, thinking that she should keep an eye on them in the future.

But before she had a chance to keep an eye on the two of them, something happened to her class.

Two days later, in the evening, two groups of people in the same class had a conflict over a trivial matter.

The guard came over with a whip, stopped the work of the two groups, and whipped everyone in the two groups, scolding while smoking: "I usually serve you delicious food, but I really think there are no rules here!" Dare to make trouble over a little thing, let you know the pain today, and you will know what the rules are.

You people are becoming less and less aware of us, and if you don't know what it means to be afraid, dig out the mound at the western corner of the city wall and take a look. The people buried in it are still not rotten, do you want to bury them too? (End of chapter)
