"Wang, what's wrong?"

Looking at Yougen, who walked in front of him, dressed in brown linen clothes and with shoulder-length hair, Lao Wang smiled slightly and said, "What else can I do, the army is coming, I have come to flee." ”

"Really?!Lao Wang!!"

Hearing this, Shi Nao, who was standing beside Yougen, was completely panicked, and his voice clearly revealed fear.

Lao Wang sighed, and said with a sigh: "Alas, the county lord has gathered all the subordinates in the county, and outside the east gate of the county town, troops have also been assembled, and they are about to fight. ”

Frowning, Yougen's face showed a nervous look, and said, "Old Wang, who is coming?"

"I don't know, anyway, the form is quite grim, and the old county lord personally led the troops out of the city. ”

"Lao Wang, what are you here for?"

"I'm old, and being alone in the wild is no different from looking for death. Lao Wang looked at Yougen and laughed flatteringly, and the straightened skin surface on his chin highlighted the white stubble.

"Anyway, everyone has to go, why don't we go together, the nearest town is called Shuiyin Town, and I have a little friendship with the mayor of that town. ”

"Huh. Hearing this, Yougen laughed and said, "Lao Wang, even if we want to flee, we will flee a little farther, and if we flee to Yinshui Town, isn't that the same as not escaping?"

“......”

Lao Wang looked at the smiling Yougen wordlessly, and his round eyes showed an incredible look.

Looking at Lao Wang's expression, Yougen, who sensed that something was wrong, turned around and looked at the stone brain beside him.

He saw the round eyes on Shi Nao's face, and he noticed the same look of surprise in Shi Nao's eyes.

"Am I not right?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. In Yougen's confused gaze, the stone brain turned his head, covered his mouth and pretended to cough.

"Yougen, in this world, unless they are forced to do so, no army will rob villages and towns. The smile on Lao Wang's face was very bright, like a blooming sunflower.

"Without these villages and towns, there would not be enough tribute, and who would be able to bear such consequences. ”

"Huh!?" Hearing this, Yougen agreed a little blankly.

Lao Wang and Shi Nao will be wrong, they both think that they have a root and understand.

It wasn't until after a moment of contemplation that Yougen spoke again and said, "In that case, then what do you have to escape?"

“......？”

Lao Wang and Shi Nao's faces showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"You see that villages and towns have to provide tribute, right? Only by farming can there be tribute, right? Farming requires people, isn't it? You are also a human being, right? You can also farm the land, right?" After asking, Yougen spread out his palm, stood in front of him, and said: "You are not the county lord, and you don't want to be a soldier, what are you afraid of?"

“......！！”

Hearing this, the round eyeballs in the eyes of Shi Nao and Lao Wang were almost about to pop out of their sockets.

"That. Lao Wang raised his right hand, wiped the sweat droplets on his forehead with the back of his hand, and said: "But I don't farm now, we are still the citizens of Caoyun County, if Caoyun County is captured, we will all be implicated." ”

"Yes, yes. Shi Nao, who was standing beside Yougen, also nodded in agreement.

"That's right!" Yougen's right fist slapped on the spread palm of his left hand, and his face showed a look of sudden realization.

"You don't have land to plant, you have to run, but we have land, what are we going to run?"

Ignoring Lao Wang's stunned expression, Yougen turned around and raised his head slightly towards the stone brain beside him, and said, "I'm right." ”

"Yes, yes!" Shi Nao, with a look of sudden realization on his face, nodded again in agreement.

"No, no, no!" Lao Wang jumped up from the ground in a hurry, and he shouted loudly: "It's not like this, you have a land, but your land is a county town, and the county town has been ruled by the county lord for ten years, and the new county lord will not let go of the people of the entire county town. ”

"But kill us, no one cultivates the land in the county town, aren't they afraid of missing the autumn time?"

"It's early spring now, and as long as the seedlings in the fields are carefully cared for and reorganized, they can always harvest some grain, and even if the harvest is not good, they can also levy heavy taxes from the surrounding villages and towns, but the people in this county, the beggars in this shack area, have no way to live. ”

Hearing this, Yougen lowered his head and pondered, and between the frowning brows on his face, the word Sichuan was highlighted.

Looking up, there was a puzzled look on his face.

"Lao Wang, how do you know?"

"Know what?"

"Knowing that we would be implicated. ”

"Tsk, I've lived for more than 50 years, and I've been through so much. There was a self-deprecating look in Lao Wang's eyes, and the smile on his face was a little bitter.

"Ten years ago, when the lord took possession of the county, the blood on the ground soaked the walls, and I know that this has happened to all the city-states that have suffered from war and fallen, without exception. ”

Yougen turned his head to look at the stone brain beside him, and he could see the affirmation on the face of the stone brain.

As a result, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

"Lao Wang, come in first. Turning sideways, there was a root to the old king, giving way to the narrow passage between the shacks.

After Lao Wang led the carriage and walked into the house, Yougen turned around again and faced the stone naphtha beside him.

"Naphtha, gather everyone in the housing complex to the open space for dinner, and we will discuss this matter together. ”

"Okay. Tonnaphthax nodded, and followed briskly behind the carriage.

Yougen, who was standing at the entrance of the village, turned around again.

He looked to the east of the county.

The huge and wide city wall blocks the view of the roots.

So Yougen didn't see that in the east of Caoyun County, Liu Li, who had already walked out of the city gate.

Liu Li was followed by hundreds of people.

Hundreds of county soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have followed Liu Heng for thousands of miles, and you have never left at the most critical moment, and I, Liu Lixian, have thanked you here. ”

Liu Li, whose face was pale and his skin was covered with a thin frost, looked at the more than 10,000 soldiers standing in front of him, who had already assembled and prepared, and showed a look of relief on his face.

"When you put on your armor, when you go to battle, you are like me, there is no turning back. ”

Lowering his head, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, Liu Li smiled slightly, raised his head, and light overflowed from his face.

"The enemy will not let you go, and even if you flee now, you, as deserters, will be pursued by them. ”

General Liu raised his hand holding the sword and raised the sword in front of him.

The sword body, as deep as a turbid lake, stood in front of Liu Li's body, and the tip of the sword was facing the sky that was red in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Even if you are lucky enough to save your lives in the pursuit of the enemy, you will be displaced and survive in the world, but if you help me and help me Liu Li get through this hurdle, I promise! Let you all have a hundred acres of land, and before the Liu family falls, you will not be able to pay for the good people in your life. ”
