When she got a heavy bag of gold and a piece of road guide representing the identity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Baizhi felt like a dream.

Han Zhong waved his hand to Ning Baizhi, "Let's go." Be careful on the road. ”

"Can I go? You won't kill me? ”

"Let's go, I won't kill you." Han Zhong said calmly.

Ning Baizhi turned back three times in one step, and after taking a few steps, she stopped, "Senior, forgive the juniors for taking the liberty, as a contemporary gentleman sword, why do you want to help the evil?" Acting for adultery? ”

Since she was a child, Ning Baizhi had heard of the legend of the Junzi Sword on the rivers and lakes.

Those who wield this sword, without exception, are all chivalrous and courageous.

But ten years ago, the Junzi Sword suddenly disappeared from the rivers and lakes, some people said that the Junzi Sword was planted in the hands of the eagle dog of the imperial court and was cut off by the head, and some people said that the Junzi Sword was seriously injured and escaped to the mountains and forests to recuperate.

It's just that I didn't expect that Ning Baizhi met the gentleman's sword here.

It seems that the gentleman's sword has become a slave of the traitor.

Han Zhong's old face did not change in the slightest, and he stood up with his hands, "Some things are difficult to say, and some people are not as you seem on the surface." ”

Ning Baizhi frowned and said puzzledly: "What does the predecessor mean is that the adulterer is not a wicked person in the mouth of the world?" It's ....."

Han Zhong didn't speak, just waved his hand, "Let's go, little girl, don't be deceived in the future." ”

Ning Baizhi gave up her hand, "The younger generation has been taught." ”

Back in the tent, Han Zhong walked up to Chen Chao, "Xiangye, the people are gone." ”

Chen Chao nodded.

"Xiangye, your tricks are high!"

Suddenly, Han Zhong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and admire.

"Huh? Han Lao, what are you talking about? ”

Chen Chao frowned and looked at Han Lao, a little puzzled.

Han Zhong said: "Xiangye, your trick of letting the tiger return to the mountain is really high, rest assured, the old slave has already sent the dead man to follow the little girl, and he will definitely be able to find the person behind her and wipe it out." ”

Chen Chao rubbed his nose and pinched his eyebrows, a little helpless, "Old Han, I don't mean that." ”

"How?"

"Old Han, that little girl may have been deceived when she first entered the rivers and lakes, so she took the risk to assassinate her true appearance. Benxiang looks at her pitiful, and can't bear to kill her, what's more, if she wants to kill her, she can go into the account and stab her with a sword, although she will be stopped by the dead, but she still uses the poison she is not good at, and the poison is not a powerful poison, just sweat medicine, you say, why did she do this? ”

Han Zhong shook his head, unable to understand.

Chen Chao didn't understand this question either.

I don't understand why Ning Baizhi didn't use her sword to assassinate her like she was in the palace that night.

"But one thing is certain, she'll be back."

"Why?"

"Having said that, Han Lao didn't understand either. By the way, isn't Old Han a gentleman's sword? Why don't you have the same style as you did back then? ”

Han Zhong took a deep breath and sighed, "The past can't be traced......

"Gotta get it..... Old Han, don't sigh either. Since Han Lao sent the dead to follow her, then follow, if she finds her comrades, don't startle the snake, the Ning family is of great use to her own appearance. ”

"Yes!"

......

The little girl hung her head and walked aimlessly down the street, surrounded by the bustling construction site that had nothing to do with her.

She carried a bag of gold in her arms, and she counted it simply, and it was more than a hundred taels.

With this money, those brothers and sisters who are hiding in the mountains can live in peace for several years without worrying about food and drink.

He was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and his days of hiding in Tibet were very hard.

As soon as she thought of her experience over the years, Ning Baizhi's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and even her teeth were sore.

Over the years, she has not slept well for a day, a few times in the middle of the night, flowing waist-deep river water transfer, the river water in winter is cold and biting, and in the end people will freeze and lose consciousness, and every winter can not help but itch....

Ning Baizhi had witnessed her companions being caught, and their heads were cut off by officers and soldiers.

The column of blood gushed out at once, and there was blood everywhere, red and white, exuding a disgusting fishy smell....

This is the treatment of martial artists, which is not allowed by the imperial court.

Even ordinary people don't have the slightest sympathy in their eyes when they see them practicing martial arts.

The people still have to go to the government to expose it in private, because there is a reward, and over time her companions are getting fewer and fewer.

The Ning family is already about to lose their children and grandchildren.

This time, she came out to assassinate the adulterer without telling her family.

However, it failed......

Ning Baizhi's heart was in turmoil for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

This time she "assassinated" Chen Chao when she went out of the city, and she did not kill her.

Because through these observations, she found that Chen Chao was not a traitor as the legend said, and he also wanted to kill people.

Do treacherous people talk and laugh with ordinary people? Will the traitor wholeheartedly help the victims through the difficult times and pay them their wages? Will the traitor call Wang Xiaoer, a person from Hecun Town, a brother and sister?

She realized that she might have been deceived.

Therefore, she gave Chen Chaoxia sweat medicine, wanted to bring him back and ask him clearly.

The sun shone on her, and she stopped, tilted her head slightly, and basked in the winter sun.

She pursed her lips softly and murmured in a barely audible voice:

“...... Why is that? ”

......

At noon, a carriage and several guards stopped on the official road leading to Qingshan County, ten miles away.

An old man with a white beard in plain clothes raised his hand and lifted the curtain and glanced out of the car.

"It's ....... Rebuilding the official road? ”

A guard came from a distance, panting, first saluting the old man respectfully, and then saying, "Back to the old man's words...... The official road ahead was rebuilt, and the carriage could not go together normally, so the subordinates went down to see the front, and we could only walk to Qingshan County. ”

The old man's black and purple lips opened, and his brows frowned, "Nonsense, the people affected by the disaster can't even fill their stomachs, is Qin Xiangru, who came to the disaster relief, a stupid pig?" Even the victims were requisitioned to build roads! ”

The old man in the carriage waved his sleeves and, with the support of the guards, stepped out of the carriage.

As far as the eye can see, Qingshan County, ten miles away, is shrouded in a haze, there are thousands of people working hard with hammers on the city wall, they seem to be smashing the city wall, and on the official road leading to Qingshan County, the victims in single clothes are building the road, the sweat on their faces is flowing down their cheeks, even if they are so tired, they dare not stop and rest.

Fang Xiu suddenly became angry, blowing his beard and glaring. He is a scholar of Wenchang Pavilion and a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he was severely humiliated by the treacherous minister in the court with a deer as a horse, and he put a knife on his neck to endanger his life, and he became seriously ill after returning home.

I've been recuperating in the house for the past few months.

In the past few days, his wife inadvertently revealed that there was a heavy snowstorm in the capital a year ago, and there were many victims outside the city.

Regardless of his sick body, Fang Xiu dragged his body that had not yet fully recovered, and took advantage of today's warmer weather to come to Qingshan County, which was the most severely affected, to inspect the disaster.

Fang Xiu got out of the carriage and, with the support of the guards, walked towards the victims who were building the road not far away.

"What are you doing, boys? Who told you to come here to build the road? Looking at the sweat of several young people in their early twenties in front of him, Fang Xiu stepped forward and asked.

"Old man, stand far away and don't hurt you."

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes straightened up, wiped the sweat from his face, and scooped a bowl of water from a bucket on the side of the road to quench his thirst.

Knock knock, drink it all in one go.

Fang Xiu stood back, "Young man, in the current catastrophe, it is important to live, people are easy to talk about anything..... You tell your father-in-law, who told you to build the road? Can you eat a full meal on a regular basis? Did you receive any food? ”

Fang Xiu was anxious, and his heart was very hot.

The young man was a little strange, scratching his head, not understanding what the old man in front of him was talking about.

"Old man, you're not from Qingshan County, are you...... From out of town? People from the capital? Are you visiting relatives and friends? ”

"Exactly! People from Beijing, come here..... Visit. ”

"No wonder, I get ......"

"Got what?"

"Old man, don't worry, your relatives in Qingshan County are doing well, as long as you are diligent, it is estimated that you will not be hungry."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Fang Xiu suddenly became interested. The young man asked Fang Xiu to sit down on a large rock by the side of the road.

After Fang Xiu sat down, the man said: "Old man, this year is different from previous years, you can't die of hunger and you can't freeze to death, you have a message from above, come and repair the road, take care of three meals a day, and there will be meat at noon, it's just not easy to grab." ”

"Three meals a day? And meat? ”

Fang Xiu was shocked, in the disaster year, it was already good not to starve to death, but there was still meat to eat?

Qin Xiangru has taken out all the grain stored in the household, right? Maybe the military rations will also be used to fill the gap.

"That's right, there's meat. Not only does he have meat, but he also gets paid every day. This road construction work, I also had a hard time, squeezed the scalp to grab it, a day 30 wages, 10 days a settlement, it is estimated that after this disaster, I can go back to my hometown to buy land, marry a daughter-in-law. As he spoke, the young man smiled from ear to ear, full of energy.

Fang Xiu was shocked again, feeling that he was old and had heard it wrong.

"What do you say? And get paid? Who pays for this? ”

"Of course it's the government."

"Okay old man, I won't tell you, I'm going to work....."
