Seeing that the loyal Hou bowed and saluted, Xiao Minglong hurriedly said: "Hou Ye has worked hard! As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

After the Marquis of Zhongxin got up, he nodded slightly to Xiao and Long behind the prince, which was considered a salute, and Xiao Di smiled faintly, which was considered a return of the courtesy. Long Shaoyang immediately returned the salute with his fists, and said in his heart: "Today is the second time I have met this commander of the forbidden army. If it is judged by physical appearance, the Faithful Marquis is indeed the Lu Bu of the people, and it is expected that this person must have been a burly and sturdy beautiful man when he was young, and I don't know how many women admired him. ”

I only heard a noise of footsteps, and a group of people behind followed, standing in a fan-shape, bowing and saluting, and were stopped by Xiao Minglong waving his hand.

Long Shaoyang saw that most of these people were dressed as officers and soldiers, and there was an official in scarlet clothes who followed closely behind the Loyal Marquis, and his expression was full of fear and joy, it should be this Luocheng parent official - Jing Zhaoyin. I only heard Xiao Minglong say: "The weather is cold, the wind is bone-chilling, you have worked tirelessly to run around for the affairs of the state, it is really my luck to be a great Qi, and it is really a blessing for the displaced people." This palace has thanked the displaced people of Qin and Erzhou on behalf of this generation. How dare everyone accept the courtesy, and hurriedly praise and excuse themselves.

Long Shaoyang secretly praised in his heart: "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are very thoughtful, where is it like the words of a teenager, and his words and deeds in front of Prime Minister Zhu are simply like two people." ”

While he was thinking, he saw Xiao Minglong turn around and take his hand, and said to the Marquis of Zhongxin: "General Wu, this palace will introduce you to a young talent." Come, Brother Long, this is the faithful General Hou Wujun. ”

Long Shaoyang immediately stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said: "Hou Ye's prestige is far and wide, I can see you today, how fortunate is Long!"

Zhongxin Hou was slightly stunned, and immediately recognized that the young man in front of him was a young man surnamed Long, who was in the limelight at the birthday banquet that day, and had both civil and military skills, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a young talented dragon...... Long Zhuangshi, disrespectful and disrespectful!" he didn't know what to call the young man in front of him for a while, although he remembered that His Majesty had given this person an official title at the birthday banquet, but he couldn't remember it for a while, let alone remember this person's name, so in a hurry, he had to use the word strong man vaguely to replace him.

Long Shaoyang was surprised, but he pretended not to know, and returned the salute with a smile.

Xiao Minglong said: "General Wu, now that Brother Long is in the East Palace, Wupin Sheren, I still need the general to take care of it in the future." ”

The Loyal Marquis had already seen that the relationship between this young man and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extraordinary, and his care for him was overflowing, and he was busy greeting at the moment: "How dare you dare! From now on, you and I will serve Your Majesty and Your Highness together!"

At that moment, the two exchanged a few polite words, and then accompanied Xiao Minglong to inspect the situation of the displaced people.

The crown prince and the Marquis of Zhongxin were in front, Xiao, Long, and Jing Zhaoyin were behind, followed by a group of soldiers and soldiers, and the group walked through the streets and alleys on foot. As the Marquis of Zhongxin walked, he talked in detail about the resettlement of the displaced people, Jing Zhaoyin interspersed with supplements from time to time, Xiao Minglong nodded frequently, and stopped from time to time to ask about the food and clothing of the displaced people.

After walking and stopping along the way, there were more than a dozen tents, and after about half an hour, everyone came to a street.

Xiao Minglong suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "Brother Di, Brother Long, it seems that the chaos of Shicai has temporarily subsided. I still have government affairs in mind, and it just so happens that General Wu is also going back to the imperial city, so I will take him along the way. I'll leave the aftermath to the two of you. He glanced at the two of them meaningfully. The carriage had been following behind the crowd, and the coachman had already heard the sound and rushed over.

Xiao and Wu got into the carriage one after the other, only to hear a crisp whip, and the carriage galloped away.

When the soldiers saw the prince and the faithful marquis going together, they suddenly came out of the cage as if they were sleepy, some stretched their waists, some yawned, and some moved their muscles and bones, and they scattered in twos and threes. Na Jing Zhaoyin stepped forward with a smile, said goodbye to Xiao Di, and went away. In a matter of moments, the group disappeared cleanly.

Long Shaoyang and Xiao Di glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and at that moment Long Shaoyang supported Xiao Di and slowly inspected each tent.

As soon as the two of them turned a street corner, at this moment, a rough voice came from afar: "Lord Xiao, Master Long, you are here too." Hehe, what a coincidence. The voice was loud and melodious, full of energy, and it was clear that the person who shouted was strong in his inner strength.

Long Shaoyang followed the sound and looked, next to a tent on the side of the road more than ten zhang away, a man was grinning at the two of them. But I saw that he had thick eyebrows and beard, a burly figure, a majestic demeanor, wearing a gray half-worn cotton robe, which was slightly tattered, and was carrying a wooden barrel in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, and a peasant's outfit. I think it's sharing porridge for the homeless, but this kind of dress and behavior is a little incompatible with the mighty atmosphere that comes from within, which makes people feel a little funny.

Long Shaoyang was stunned at first, but immediately remembered that this person was the personal guard of the county lord of Dongwu Zizi, and it was this person who taught the evil Shaoqiu a promising lesson in Nanshi that day and relieved himself of the siege. But then he thought about it: "Since this person appears here, maybe the county lord himself is nearby...... I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in my heart, nodded at the moment, and whispered a few words softly to Xiao Di.

The big man had already greeted him and bowed his hand.

Xiao and Long immediately returned the salute. Long Shaoyang said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why are you here, still dressed as an ordinary person? If it weren't for this powerful and fierce aura, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to recognize you!"

"Oh, I was ordered by the county lord to help give porridge to the homeless. The man said.

Xiao and Long looked at it, and saw that there were a lot of rice grains on his clothes and arms, and there were also some on his face, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Guard Xu looked embarrassed and said, "I'm just a rough man, I can't do this kind of work...... By the way, Master Long, Lord Xiao, our county lord is not far ahead, and the villain will guide the two of you!"

"Young Master Long, don't you know, after the farewell of Nanshi that day, the county lord told his subordinates that they were in a foreign country, and they should act in a low-key manner, and they must not cause more trouble. I originally planned to leave for Wu on the second day, but I didn't know that the sky was not beautiful, the snow kept falling, and the road was closed...... But this is also a blessing in disguise, our Wu country is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain is lewd, the drizzle is commonplace, when have I seen such a white snow, it is because we are annoyed and happy, the county lord saw this, and said that he simply stayed for a few more days, stepping on the snow and appreciating the plum, it was also a pleasure. This morning, the county lord heard that the Luobinfang homeless people were not enough porridge, so he ordered us to buy rice and boil porridge, and sent it from the post station, and was afraid of provoking people's eyes, so he specially asked us to change into ordinary people's clothes, and others also said that it was a businessman in Los Angeles who was very rich and kind, and he came to ...... in Jiyin Delai" Long and Xiao followed behind, only listening to him talk eloquently, and the mouth was nagging endlessly.

After walking about twenty zhang, Long Shaoyang saw a woman not far away who was dividing porridge and rice with her back on her back, surrounded by seven or eight children, the eldest was in her teens, and the younger was only three or four years old. Seeing her jinghai cloth skirt, her outfit was no different from that of an ordinary peasant woman, Long Shaoyang couldn't help but respect and regret in his heart.

Guard Xu ran a few steps quickly, walked closer, waved his hand, and said loudly: "County Lord, Lord Xiao Di, Master Long is here." ”

The woman's body was stunned, and she turned her face, only to see that her eyes were clear like water, her skin was whiter than snow, and her lips were like cherry blossoms. Long Shaoyang only felt that his heart was a little strange, and his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, fluttering lightly.

The county lord of Zizi hurriedly handed over the object in his hand to the Xu guard, raised the sleeve of his right hand, gently brushed the sweat droplets from his forehead, walked forward slowly, bowed, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, Master Long, I didn't expect to meet the two of you here." ”

Xiao and Long returned the salute immediately. Xiao Di said with a smile: "The county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, a golden body, but he is so kind-hearted, and he cares about the safety of the people in the world, it is really a bodhisattva's heart, it is rare." ”

The county lord Zizi said: "Brother Xiao is too famous, helping the poor is the way to be a man, Zizi is just practicing the teachings of the saints, it's not enough!" said and turned to Long Shaoyang, smiled sweetly and said: "Young Master Long, let's meet again." ”

Fang Cai Long Shaoyang saw the Zizi County Lord Jing Hai cloth skirt from a distance, giving porridge to the homeless people in the ice and snow, thinking of her golden branches and jade body, but she did it so herself, she couldn't help but respect and pity. When I got closer, I saw that her spring and jade fingers had been frozen red, and the pity in my heart was even better, but it was inconvenient to speak. Seeing her greeting herself at this moment, her heart moved, and she smiled: "The county lord is kind and charitable, and people admire him." However, the weather is very cold, and the county lord should pay attention to thrift and protect your body. I remember that the last incident in Nanshi was also thanks to the help of the county lord to break the siege. Thank you here!"

Xiao Diqi said: "Oh, Shaoyang and the county lord have also met in Nanshi?"

Long Shaoyang nodded, and immediately told Xiao Di briefly about the day when he led the horse through Nanshi, how the slaves of the Qiu family cheated, how the county lord appeared at the right time, and how the guards used to be an enemy, but he hid the subsequent appearance of Zhu Xibing.

After hearing this, Xiao Di laughed and said, "I didn't expect the county lord and Shaoyang to have such an encounter, maybe this is the indissoluble fate!" Then he changed his tone and said coldly: "It seems that Qiu Youwei is such a scoundrel, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if you encounter it in the future, Shaoyang doesn't have to be polite to him!"

The county lord Zizi was slightly embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, you are making fun of Zizi." As he spoke, his face suddenly turned red and he turned his head away.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person in the distance shouting: "Oh, I finally found you, if I hadn't met Jing Zhaoyin, I don't know when I would have found it?"
