Chapter 5 7 3 People in troubled times
Although the wine is cloudy, it does not taste bad.
The guy ran away, and several food shops around him were also closed, and the boss made some side dishes for Li Wuchang to drink, and the taste was really not flattering.
The boss's surname is Zhou, according to him, he is a local rich family, has a lot of ancestral property, the old man and his wife have passed away, and he has no children......
It's a pity that the small town has been patronized many times by rogues from all walks of life, and the town is no longer as it used to be, and many people have run away, including the women he likes, all of them have run away with their families.
It is said that most of the runners went to the east and west of Padang, and at this time, there are some stable places in Padang.
Boss Zhou didn't have the heart to receive guests, but seeing that Li Wuchang was quite pleasing to the eye, and it was rare for someone to talk to at this time, he was happy, moved a chair, and sat with Li Wuchang to drink and chat.
His face was still a little ugly, obviously he was angry about what happened to his neighbors, and he poured a cup, "Actually, how can there be any stable place, Padang? It's a matter of time before chaos starts, I don't believe that Padang Taishou Yun Wenbin has the strength to kill all the bandits at the junction of the three counties, if he can kill them, he would have killed them a long time ago, do you still need to confront each other for so long?"
Li Wuchang accompanied him for a drink, and said suspiciously: "Isn't there still Wu Qinglun and Yiling Taishou Hai Jiancheng at the junction of the three counties? They should also have some strength, I heard that Wu Qinglun is a famous general in Liangzhou, although Hai Jiancheng has no reputation, but it should not be an ordinary character to be a county Taishou." ”
complained silently in my heart.
Hai Jiancheng, a traitor?
I don't know what kind of character it is.
Boss Zhou said disdainfully: "Taishou is not everyone who is both civil and military, and there are many mediocre and incompetent people, not to mention, you should know that the surname Song in Fangling used to be, he is not a scumbag, but there is a set of pretending to suppress his own people." Besides, our Sun Taishou in Tongchuan usually listens to it, but as soon as Xu Minglong came over, he panicked, and he was at a loss, and the so-called soldiers below were shocked one by one...... That Hai Jiancheng is probably that kind of person, when Lei Daneng died, he took the opportunity to suppress Lei Daneng's deputy Qiu Yue and take advantage of Fang Ling, it's really ......"
Hearing this, Li Wuchang raised his eyebrows: "The boss seems to be to the people of the court...... That, quite dissatisfied?"
Boss Zhou sighed: "It's just a little disappointed...... I have also eaten dry rice for decades, and I have seen or heard a lot of things, and the imperial court has become more and more powerless over the years, which is far from before. Where would you dare to say something like that just now, but now almost everyone is complaining, and some people are simply joining the bandits, if they are really desperate, who wants to do such a head-killing business!"
After a pause, he said: "Besides, Wu Qinglun, although he is a little famous, and he is also a fierce general who has fought a lot of tough battles, but he is not only facing Lu Xifa behind him, so there is only one Yun Wenbin left and has no worries...... It's just that the world is unpredictable, isn't Tongchuan originally good, who knows that Zhao Huang Erkou will not leave, and now that the fight is upside down, who knows if it will hit Badong. ”
Li Wuchang praised: "Boss Zhou has some insight!"
"Don't dare to be!"
Boss Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "I listened to the analysis of others, and after listening to it a lot, I naturally have a general outline in my heart!"
After a pause, he asked, "By the way, I haven't asked the little brother what he is called, where is this going?"
Because of the opening of the store, he has seen a lot of people, and his eyesight is not shallow, in his eyes, although Li Wuchang's dress is ordinary, but his temperament is quite extraordinary, and he is by no means an ordinary passerby.
Li Wuchang replied: "The boss is polite, the younger brother's surname is Li, and the family is four, you can call me Li Si, one person is out of the house, and he just came to the southwest of Fangling...... I don't know where to go yet!"
Boss Zhou sighed, "It turned out to be Brother Li, fortunately...... But in order to avoid the chaos in the southwest of Fangling?"
Li Wuchang nodded, "Yes, it's too messy, avoid it first!"
Boss Zhou sighed: "The southwest of Fangling is also a quagmire, I hope the Fa Shuai Army can really clean it up! There are many people here who want to go to the middle of Fangling to join the Fa Shuai Army, but they really can't get by, because there are many people in the southwest who have encountered accidents......
Li Wuchang asked meaningfully: "Boss Zhou is very optimistic about the Fa Shuai Army?"
Boss Zhou explained: "How can I have the ability to be optimistic or weak about the forces of one side, but it is reported that the reputation of the French Shuai Army is acceptable, not like ordinary bandits, I think there must be its reliability......"
Li Wuchang couldn't help but ask, "I called over there, and I heard some rumors...... Well, it is reported that the Fa Shuai Army and Zhao Yuanji and Huang Mao joined forces, and Zhao and Huang came forward to stir up trouble, but the Fa Shuai Army suppressed all parties in the back and took the opportunity to win over the people!"
Boss Zhou said meaningfully: "I've heard of this, but I think that no matter whether the Fa Shuai Army is sincere or fake, since they are willing to spend time to win over the people's hearts, it means that they have a long-term idea in Fangling...... You should know that the northern and central parts of Fangling are now much more stable than before, and the rogues have been swept away, which is an ironclad fact, and for the common people, it is enough, and the saying that people in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs is not said. Moreover, there are many forces in the southwest of Fangling, and the chaos has been for a long time, if the army of the commander does not use some means, how can it be stable?"
Li Wuchang found that the boss Zhou in front of him really had some ideas of his own, and he was not a vassal.
If ordinary people hear such rumors, most of them will scold a raccoon dog.
"I respect Boss Zhou!" Li Wuchang raised his glass.
The boss raised his glass and touched Li Wuchang, and said with a little pity: "Little Brother Li, you are in the southwest of Fangling, you shouldn't run to Tongchuan, you should go to the middle of Fangling, it's a pity, I guess I can't get through it now......"
"Separated from my family!"
Li Wuchang casually covered up, diverted the topic and asked: "Since Boss Zhou has this idea, why don't you use some means to join the Fa Shuai Army, it's true that ancestral property is important, but small lives are more important, right?"
"Alas!"
Boss Zhou sighed and said: "Of course, my life is more important, but how can I have any means? It's not the kind of big family with a deep background, I'm the only one left in the family, I can't do it, the road is far away, it's too dangerous!"
Da Da Da ......
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, accompanied by the sound of shouting and swords colliding.
Boss Zhou's face turned dark, and he said worriedly: "Oh no, it's ...... again"
got up and pulled Li Wuchang over, and said, "Little Brother Li, hurry up and follow me to the backyard secret room to hide!"
Then run wildly to the backyard.
