Chapter 720 Let’s go

In the stockade, Wu Xing sat down and asked Liu Anxin on the side: "Have you watched the stockade? No one is allowed in or out these days!"

Liu Anxin said: "There are still some people living scattered in the valley around the village. Do you want to arrest them?"

Wu Xing waved his hand: "No need. As long as the people in the village don't make trouble, others don't care. Qianhu has already informed Xu Yue, asking him to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.

That’s fine. Apart from making a promise, what’s the use of others knowing about it?”

Liu Anxin said: "Guangzhou is not far from Xinyang's army. If Wang Xiaolie sends troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist them."

Wu Xing said: "Don't worry. Xu Yue is careful in his work and never offends Wang Xiaolie. Wang Xiaolie does not deploy heavy troops around Guangzhou. By the time he mobilizes his troops, we will be far away!"

After hearing this, Liu Anxin smiled and said: "So, Xu Yue's carefulness has turned out to be so useful. After this incident, he should be rewarded heavily."

Wu Xing nodded. After thinking for a while, he said: "Qianhu told us to try not to cause trouble unless we have to. There is not much horse feed in this small village, so we have to buy it from others."

Liu Anxin said disdainfully: "Why bother? Although the village is small, there are fifty or sixty households. Who doesn't have food in their house? If they feed the horses, it can last for a month or two. We can only live here for more than ten days, which is enough.

Already."

"Don't cause trouble!" Wu Xing was impatient. "Can't you listen to Qianhu's instructions?"

Liu Anxin said: "The village has been occupied by us. How can others know if we are robbing them of their food?"

wu

I don’t care much about it. Speaking of it, it’s just an anecdote. Once you kill someone with a knife and rob them of their food, the people around you will definitely be frightened. At that time, who will know what will happen?”

After saying that, Wu Xing couldn't help but shake his head.

Liu Anxin said: "But I have dozens of horses, where can I buy horse feed?"

Wu Xing said: "Twenty miles away is Shangcheng Town. Can't we buy it there? Such a big town can't afford to raise dozens of horses?"

Shangcheng was originally a county. Three years after Daoism, it was merged into Gushi County and reduced to a town. It is surrounded by the vast Dabie Mountains. Within hundreds of miles, there is no place bigger than here, so it is very prosperous. Now is the time of trouble, and many people have fled.

Going deep into the mountains, it becomes even more prosperous.

Seeing that Wu Xing was angry, Liu Anxin did not dare to say anything more, lowered his head and muttered.

At this moment, a subordinate came in and reported that the people in the village had gathered.

Wu Xing stood up and walked out with Liu Anxin. He saw that the center of the village was already full of residents. He walked forward and cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, my surname is Wu. I am leading my brothers to do some business without capital. Today

I'm temporarily borrowing your place to rest for a few days, so I'm sorry to bother you. To prevent accidents, you all should stay at home and don't move around when we are here. I promise that we won't kill people or rob things here.

We won’t cause trouble. As long as you cooperate, everyone will be in peace. If there are people who are against us, sorry, don’t blame me for being mean!"

When the common people saw a dozen people standing around, they all looked fierce and did not dare to speak.

Wu Xing said: "We are bringing horses and need horse feed. If you have horse feed at home, you can take it out and we will give you money to buy it."

After Liu Anxin heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He came here as a robber, how could he give him money to buy things?

After saying that, Wu Xing looked at everyone with a dark face. Then he looked at the west sky, where a red sunset was setting down the mountain.

Seeing that no one was talking, Wu Xing waved his hands and said, "Go back. You'd better stay at home these days. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me!"

When Sun Ji arrived at Pan's father's house, the sun had already set. He patted his chest and secretly thought that he was not lucky.

When Sun Ji called the door, Pan's father came out and said, "Guardian, why are you back again? Did you forget something?"

Sun Jidao said: "It's my life! As soon as I walked to the gate of the stockade, a group of strongmen suddenly came. They entered the stockade and made people jump like crazy. It looked like they were not kind people. My life was at stake and I didn't dare to enter the stockade, so I had to go

Stay here for one night, dad."

After hearing this, Pan's father hurriedly asked Sun Ji to enter the courtyard. He said: "Guardian, don't say that. You have done so much for us. Even if you stay here for a few days, it is just right. It's just that you can't go to the village and buy things. I can't buy anything."

People have to be patient."

Sun Jidao: "You can live well, how can I not? Although it is a little more miserable here, the scenery is good."

While talking, Pan's father took Sun Ji into the house. The couple slept in the east room. There were some miscellaneous rooms in the west room, so they hurriedly packed them out. There was no bed, so he took two bundles of straw and spread them on the floor, allowing Sun Ji to stay temporarily.

Spend the night here.

After arrangements were made for Sun Ji, Pan's father was worried and secretly went to the village to take a look. He saw someone guarding the gate of the village, and he was only allowed in but not out. Pan's father did not dare to go in, so he ran back from a distance.

At night, the two discussed secretly.

The Hun family said: "After that official left, I heard your letter to Sister Nian, saying that you were living a good life in Luoyang and wanted to take us there. It's a poor place here, why should we stick to it? We'll harvest the rice in a few days, so why not leave?

Bar."

Pan's father said: "If you want me to tell you, it's better to give the rice to other families in exchange for a few dollars and let's go on the road quickly. Didn't you hear Sun Guanren said that the magistrate of Luoshan County is very interested in his son-in-law. As long as we get to Luoshan

The county and government may help us."

The Hun's family said: "My son-in-law should not be a high-ranking official, and the government will help us wherever possible. However, it should be okay to borrow some money for expenses. Alas, it is better to wait a month or two. We have harvested rice and can at least collect some expenses."

Then we don’t have to ask for help.”

Dad Pan nodded after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said: "No, we still have to wait. I didn't listen to what Sun Guanren said, but a group of strong men came to the village, and they didn't look like kind people. I just arrived.

I looked inside the village and saw that they were guarding the door and only allowed in but not out. With these people here, how can we wait!"

The Hun's family had no idea. After hearing what her husband said, she stopped insisting. After calculating for a while, she sighed and said, "Well, there are only a few bushels of millet at home, and the total amount of copper coins is less than one. We have traveled nearly a thousand miles, how can this be done?

?Think about past times, we were also a wealthy family, why did we end up like this!"

After saying that, the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and I couldn't help crying.

Father Pan had no choice but to comfort his wife. But life was difficult and he couldn't think of a way.
