Chapter 144 Visiting the Elder
The group came out of the grass, walked back to the path, and walked towards the opening. Although the colors of the clothes were different, they were not very clear under the moonlight, and there was nothing strange in others' hearts. Only Mr. Guo said to Zhang Ze quietly: "Please rest before dawn." Zhang Ze nodded knowingly: These people were to be discovered on the road, and they were determined to be spies; but if they left separately, no one knew what strange things would happen, and maybe someone would be eaten by a wolf or killed by a real night walker. In fact, just look at Uncle Tang and his party, you can know the difference in level between the disciples, the martial masters and the real knights.
Under the leadership of Uncle Tang and others, after nearly two hours of rapid journey, the group of people finally arrived at the second resting place when the roosters cried, and there were still weeds with small ditches. Far from afar, there were all the houses everywhere.
After a short rest, everyone agreed that Guo Zhongjin would lead Guo and Zhang would first go to the village to find the inn and find out the situation inside the inn. Uncle Tang would pick him up from a distance; the rest would rest on the spot. Zheng Anping released some of the military soldiers, agreed on the message code and shift order, and fell asleep with the others.
The uncle and nephew of Guo were dressed casually, and Zhang Ju was naturally dressed in scholars. The three of them walked on the country road, which looked like a master and two servants. There was a short brown man dozens of feet away, holding a stick in his hand, probably a vagrant who was rushing to work.
The winter night is quite long. Although the chickens crowed all over the head, most of the waning moon was still hanging in the sky, and occasionally crows flew away. People in the village were still half asleep and half awake.
Mr. Guo whispered: "There is no rest for military revolution here, peace and stability."
Zhang Ze, who was walking in front, did not look back, but whispered: "Can you decide the Qin people have passed this?"
Mr. Guo said: "It's not just that. We have been traveling all the way, just like the Qin soldiers. The ruts and cows and horse manure can prove it."
Guo Zhongjin said: "The Qin people entered the city and were very peaceful. If there were chickens and dogs, how could we not know it!"
Seeing that the villages were approaching, Zhang Jue deliberately slowed down. Sure enough, the door of a house at the entrance of the road opened. Zhang Jue quickly took a few steps and stepped forward to salute, saying, "I am polite!"
The man looked up and saw that it was a scholar dressed up, so he avoided the side and said, "The common people dare not accept the courtesy of the young master. How dare you ask the young master what is wrong?"
Zhang Zhe said: "We came from afar and suddenly heard that there was a war that passed by, so we did not dare to go straight, so we disturbed my father."
The man said, "Have you ever said anything about military affairs? It's true, it's true."
Zhang Zhe said: "Are there any soldiers in the village?"
The man said, "The soldiers only passed by, and did not stop, and had already left."
Zhang Zhe said: "What country's troops are they?"
The man said, "I heard the words of the Taoist villager, and it looked like a good marquis. The soldiers were like their generals, and it was indeed a good marquis."
Zhang Zhe said: "Who is Lianghou?"
The man said, "I heard of all the people in the village, but the common people don't know it. But I know that their soldiers suddenly passed by, and they were not harmed by the neighboring villages. It is rare to have a war without any disaster. It is not an exaggeration to call them a good marquis."
Zhang Ju knew that "Good Marquis" was a mistake for "Rang Marquis", but the fellow villagers accepted the truth and believed that the war was harmless and that it was really good. He no longer made it clear and asked, "Who is the country of Lianghou?"
The fellow villagers said: "The fellow villagers have not spoken, but the common people do not know."
Zhang Ze said again: "What kind of outfit is a soldier?"
The fellow villagers said: "It is different from the soldiers of Han and Wei... It seems to be dressed in a strict manner."
Zhang Ze pointed to Erguo beside him and said, "What kind of like these two people?"
The fellow villagers said: "The soldiers had not entered the house, and the common people just looked through the cracks in the door, not knowing the details."
Zhang Ze said: "What does his words look like?"
The hometown elder said, "It's not easy! After a few hours, no one said anything, so I don't know what his words are like."
Zhang Zhe said: "Who is working hard in the village?"
The hometown elder said: "There are people who have the hometown elders who have done it, and it is not something that we all should know."
Zhang Zhe said: "Can you get the expenses for levying the military?"
The fellow villager said: "It's unknown. - I dare to ask where the young master comes from?"
Zhang Zhe said: "I came from Zheng State and wanted to visit friends. When I arrived in Huayang, I heard that there had been a war, so I dared not act rashly. I came here at night to find out the truth and find out the truth. I hope my father will tell you the truth."
The fellow villager said, "I want to come to Qifeng?... I heard that A, who is in front of me, wants to come to Qifeng to collect grain today, so the young master can go and consult him."
Zhang Zhe said: "The army is opening the seal, why are we going to collect food?"
The hometown elder said, "The young master didn't know that Kaijun City was in Qifeng, and there were ten miles and eight villages. Anyone with surplus grain went to buy it and asked for a high price. - I didn't know the sorrow when I was young, even if I had tens of thousands of gold, I could fight for rice. It was not a classical matter, but I didn't know the way."
Zhang Zhe said: "Father said this! How much is the grain seal worth? He can even make all neighbors go to buy it."
The fellow villagers said, "I heard that the stones are fifty or sixty cents, which is like pounding grain. This autumn is thick, and the grain is quite cheap. Now I get a high price, so all the four towns go to."
Zhang Zi said: "If the soldiers pass by without plunder, they will be worthy of the price, which is the true righteous army."
The fellow villager said: "If you are troublesome in the affairs of the country, then you know. If you use your troops to plunder the country, how much can you get? Now you pay them with a lot of money and gather in all directions. The village is poor. But there is an urgent need for water and fire, so how can you predict the yellow things? I look at this village, but it will be in chaos after only a few years."
Zhang Zhe said: "I heard that there is a museum in the village. I dare to ask where to stay?"
The hometown elder said: "There is a building that is still several miles away, and I don't know where it is. I will walk around roughly. If the young master wants to stay in the building, he will naturally carry a lot of gold. When the war is in chaos, the young master has a small number of people, and he may be afraid of harm. Be careful, be careful!"
Zhang Ze said in shock: "What does it mean? My father said that there are no soldiers in the village, so how about there be bandits?"
The fellow villager said: "Bandits are inherent, so how can they do military affairs?"
Zhang Zhe said: "I hope my father will tell you the details and let Sheng and others know how to be alert."
The fellow villagers said: "There is a Zeng Ji in the country who likes to fight swords and has a heroic move. All heroes from all over the world return to him. If you get much money nearby, you may harm others."
Zhang Ze asked anxiously: "When?"
The fellow villagers said, "But in the past one or two days, I saw him traveling to the shops and the crowd surrounded him, and there were many wine and meat, so I knew it."
Zhang Zhe said: "Why did you hear that there are disasters?"
The fellow villagers said, "I heard nothing."
Zhang Ze said: "Why do you have to be a bandit? I would rather live without a single or two?"
The fellow villager said, "How can he survive if his nature is like this? But he is brave."
Zhang Ze said: "If there is no rebirth, how can the person rely on it?"
The fellow villagers said: "I would rather have a place to stay in peace, but I am mediocre than others. I am just a good person in the countryside to collect food, and I dare to be mediocre to protect me, and I will get food for several days."
Zhang Ju's heart moved and said, "Are there many outsiders in the village?"
The fellow villager said: "Zeng Ji had a heroic move, and many people with heroes came back."
Zhang Ze said: "Can you hear three pigs?"
Seeing Zhang Bi say the word "Shi San", Guo's uncle and nephew's face changed, and he didn't know what it meant.
The hometown elder said, "Shi San? It seems to be heard vaguely, but it is unknown. It is like a pig slaughter. The town is a little pig, or a dog ear. The three of the pig must not be here, and they are mostly in the city. Daliang, Qifeng, Huayang and other cities dare to slaughter pig ears."
Zhang Zi said: "Does Shi San have more interactions with Zeng?"
The fellow villagers said: "Zeng Ji traveled around the world and had many friends, but he was not the one who could know everything! Only those who slaughter pigs also value chivalrousness. If you are friends with him, you should take it for granted!"
Zhang Zi said: "Where is Zeng Ji living now? - My father said that he was a poor person and had little power, and he might be able to help him."
