Wanyue looked at the whirlwind twin axe with two gems installed, and couldn't put it down. Chu Hou said: "This is not good, now it will fall off as soon as it is reversed." ”

"Oh, yes. The waning moon turned the axes upside down and shook them slightly, and the two halves fell off.

"Your axe can also be used as a hammer in a slightly different direction, it shouldn't be difficult to install, you can try it yourself. ”

Wanyue put the speed gem into the hole, thinking that it was just right, but it lacked some strength to send the gem in, so she turned the axe off and knocked it the gem a few times. I saw that the gem was going into the axe little by little, and when it was knocked to the last time, a burst of green light flashed, and the setting was successful.

"Wow!" the waning moon shouted excitedly, put the axe on the ground again, put the gem in the hole, and took the other axe and knocked it into it like just now, this time it was obvious that the speed of the knock was much faster, and the speed blessing was really extraordinary, and the axe was no longer visible in the air, but became an afterimage. Finally, the two pairs of plate axes were set.

Chu Hou felt that he was really tired, and he was still covered with a quilt, so he fell asleep. After sleeping for a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps from far and near, and then Xu Yuan's voice: "Report to the lord." Chu Hou woke up, rubbed his eyes, and saw that Xu Yuan walked in with a young woman, the young woman's face was dusty, obviously caused by dust, and there were a few shallow Dao Dao, which should have been washed out by tears, but through this layer of ash, it can be vaguely seen that the facial features are still marked. This woman looked very weak, and she couldn't walk well now, so she was held by Xu Yuan.

"I disturbed the lord's rest, but now the matter must be reported to the lord. A woman was found from the prison, and according to her, it seemed to be the lost daughter of Fang Laohan's family. Xu Yuan reported.

Chu Hou nodded, stood up, and through the nap just now, he felt that his energy had really recovered a lot, at least he didn't have to lie down, and said to the woman: "What's your name?

"Back to my lord, the little woman's name is Fang Rou. It was the daughter of the old man in Shixi Village, not far from the mountain, and the five-clawed dragon killed my brother, robbed my house, and took me to the cottage to ask me to do it with him...... I would rather die than do that kind of thing, and the five-clawed dragon was very unhappy, and beat me up and put me in prison. ”

It turned out that after the five-clawed dragon killed Fang Rou's younger brother, he always felt that this woman must hate herself from now on, even if she possessed her body, she couldn't make her willing to be her own woman. The five-clawed dragon is a calculating person, thinking that it will take possession of her with a bow instead of the overlord, and then she can't think of committing suicide again, then it will be meaningless, it is better to lock her up, which leader will make meritorious contributions in the future and then take her as a reward, then you can still get the loyalty of her subordinates, isn't it wonderful? It is precisely because of the "cleverness" of the five-clawed dragon that Fang Rou can survive.

When Chu Hou heard this, he was very happy in his heart, Fang Laohan's half bowl of rice was not eaten in vain, and he successfully rescued her girl. Smiling at Fang Rou, she said, "Girl, don't be afraid now, I am the supreme governor of Linjiang City, and no one will hurt you here." ”

When Fang Rou heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and was about to kowtow, and said, "It turns out that the adult is Linjiang Chuhou!"

Chu Hou helped her up and said, "No need, does the girl know about me too?"

Fang Rou said: "Originally, there was no high-ranking chief in this Linjiang City and the surrounding villages, but later the village heard that there was a marquis who was going to manage Linjiang City, including this Shixi Village, many villagers were happy, knowing that the status of Linjiang City would definitely be much more important this time, and the villages under its jurisdiction could also be stained." But Chu Hou can love the people like a son so much, and he led his troops to eliminate the biggest bandit in the local area as soon as he took office, which is beyond everyone's imagination. ”

Chu Hou thought to himself, this girl said me so well, and she was really a little ashamed, in fact, this time Chu Mou originally came to grab something, and she did a good thing on a whim. Fang Rou said: "There is no need to be so polite, this cottage has been leveled by me, the five-clawed dragon ate my sword and cut off his right hand, and now he is on the run, I will catch him sooner or later to avenge your brother." ”

When Fang Rou heard this, a little tear flashed in her eyes, and she said: "Chu Hou Daen, it is really like a reborn parent, no matter how long you grow your father and mother, it is difficult for a little woman to repay her as a cow and a horse!" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow again.

This time, before she knelt down, Chu Hou held her up and said, "The girl's body has not healed, so there is no need to be polite." Xu Yuan, you take her to find a place to rest. ”

Xu Yuan responded: "Yes!" Holding Fang Rou again, Fang Rou's body was indeed weak, and even half of it fell into Xu Yuan's arms. Chu Hou obviously saw that his old subordinate blushed, and thought to himself, Xu Yuan is almost thirty years old and hasn't married a wife yet, I think these two are quite a good match.

"Lord, I'm going here, and this one person is released in the prison, and everyone else is still locked up. The lord can go and see for himself who can put it. With that, he walked out with Fang Rou in his arms.

Chu Hou thought to himself, it would be a good favor to release prisoners in the prison! So he nodded and said to Zhang Feizi and Wanyue, "I'll go to the prison to have a look." ”

Zhang Feizi said: "I have also healed the wounded here, so let's follow you to take a look." ”

Chu Hou nodded and said, "Okay, it should be useful for you to go." ”

Wanyue put the two halves of the gem into her pocket, pinned the two plate axes to her waist, and said, "Okay, okay, Zhang Yan, you go with me on your back." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Still carrying me?"

Wanyue said: "Isn't it on your back or Chu Hou's back?" You see that the lord is tired like that just now, and he still doesn't let him rest well. ”

“......”

Everyone came to the prison and said that it was a prison, but in fact, a cottage needed to build a prison, this cottage was originally a gang of thieves, and the officials and soldiers who were usually captured were used as coolies, that is, a fairly strong house, with some compartments inside, and dozens of important prisoners were closed.

When Chu Hou entered the room for interrogation, almost all of them were people who still had some status, either a small official in a certain place or a stupid son of a landlord's family, in short, they were valuable and could be exchanged for ransom.

Chu Hou thought to himself, what are these people staying for, just let them go. Let them all go, and before letting go, they must not forget to say a few words: "I am Linjiang Chuhou" and other clichés, but this is really not in vain, these dozens of people know who the life-saving benefactor is, and after going down the mountain, they will frantically spread the reputation for Chuhou, and part of Chuhou's reputation in the early stage came from here.

After letting them go, I went to the last compartment and saw a little monk meditating on a straw pile in the house. The little monk was about ten years old, with a bare head and a fleshy face, and he looked very cute. Wearing a trumpet monk's robe, he clasped his hands together and kept uttering scriptures from his mouth.

Wanyue frowned after hearing this: "This little monk is quite funny, but what he is chanting is humming, and he can't hear it clearly." He leaned his ear over again, and finally heard a little more clearly.

Chu Zhongli has "the extreme of all things", and Zhang Feizi has the word "smell", but he heard it clearly.

“...... Almsgiving is a dojo, and there is no hope of retribution; Keeping the vows is a dojo, and you have a wish; Forbearance and humiliation are the dojo, and there is no obstacle in the hearts of all sentient beings; Diligence is the dojo, unremitting retreat; Meditation is a dojo, the heart is soft, wisdom is a dojo, and now it is seen in the Dharma ......" is an authentic scripture, although Chu Zhongli and Zhang Feizi have not had much contact with Buddhism, and they also feel that he reads it at a glance, not like a fake monk, and even a little wise.

As he read it, he was suddenly interrupted by a grunt. The little monk stopped chanting, opened his eyes, and patted his little belly. said to Chu Zhongli and the others: "Donors, do you want to give the little monk a meal?"

Chu Zhongli took the captured key, opened the door, and said, "Little Master, I am Linjiang Chuhou. ”

The little monk turned his smooth head and said, "Oh, the four-character name, it is estimated that it is a compound surname." The little monk's name is a virtual flower, and he has seen the donor. I wonder if the donor is going to bring a meal to the little monk?"

Chu Zhongxuan thought, this kid is quite funny, and said, "I want to ask you a few questions." ”

The little monk said: "When the little monk is hungry, he can't answer any questions. ”

Chu Hou said: "Okay, good, give you something to eat." He turned his head to Zhang Feizi and Wanyue and said, "I didn't bring anything with me, did you bring anything to eat?"

Zhang Feizi spread his hands and said no. Wanyue took out half a piece of bread and a piece of beef from her arms. The cake was bitten by the waning moon, and she felt that she couldn't eat it anymore after taking a bite, and it was not good to let others eat what she had leftover, so she picked it up, and as for the beef, she wanted to eat it with the cake.

She handed these two things to the little monk together, and Chu Hou took the meat from the middle, and only gave the cake to the little monk. The little monk took the cake and devoured it.

Chu Hou said to Wanyue: "He is a monk, he eats bread, but he doesn't eat meat." Eat it yourself. Wanyue took it and saw that this piece of meat had been flattened by herself, and she suddenly lost her appetite, and said, "It's better to throw it away." ”

"Wait!" the little monk suddenly stopped and said to the waning moon: "Bring the meat and I'll eat it." ”

The waning moon handed over the meat, and the little monk looked at the meat and ate it stiffly. Wanyue smiled and said to Chu Hou: "Master, you see what you said is wrong, other monks also eat meat." ”

Chu Hou thought to himself, this might be a flower monk.

Waiting for him to finish eating the bread and meat, Chu Hou asked, "Little Master, can you answer my question this time?"

The little monk wiped his mouth, nodded his fleshy head, and said, "Although the donor asks, if the little monk knows, he will not answer." ”

Chu Hou asked, "You are a child, and you are still a monk, why were you arrested and locked up here by them?"

The little monk said: "This matter is a long story, the little monk just went out of the temple to travel to the party, to this Niutou Mountain, I heard that they occupy the mountain as the king, rob and kill, so they went up the mountain to save them, and they were locked up here, and they were locked up for several months, but they did not eat less of their food, good and good. ”

Chu Hou nodded and said, "It's not easy for them to provide you with a few months of vegetarian food." ”

The little monk shook his bald head and said, "How can there be any vegetarian food, they deliberately can't get along with me, and they send me big fish and meat every time." ”

Chu Hou said, "Then what did you do?"

The little monk said calmly: "I ate it." ”
