Chapter 259: Two heroes in the future, the glorious Daliang City (Sixth)

Since the beginning of March, there has been no rain in Sishui County.

In this season of previous years, the rainy season had already begun, but this year...

The water level of Si Shui has dropped by more than half. The land in many places has dried up and cracked, like a baby's mouth. The rice has wilted, making people worry. In many places, they even start asking for rain, but God is not open to his eyes, which is useless.

It was finally time to wait until April, and finally the scattered rain began to fall.

But the results were very little and the urgent problem could not be solved at all. Fortunately, the sky was gloomy for several days, which made people have some expectations.

Xiao He has been in a proud mood recently.

Last year, when he and his friends were nostalgic about Xiguan, they met a woman named Manman.

He was a descendant of the ancient Yue people, and he had a gentle and beautiful appearance as a woman from Jiangnan. It is said that this woman was originally from Kuaiji, and her father was also a local official in Zhuji. Because Xiang Ji attacked Yingguo siblings in Zhuluo Mountain, Manman's father was implicated and beheaded and abandoned the market. The whole family was circulated. Manman turned from an official lady to a prisoner, and then was sold into a habit, and came to Pei County.

To be honest, Man Man is not that beautiful appearance.

But she, who has good family education, is proficient in musical rhythm, can sing and dance, and has a unique charming temperament. Xiao He is over forty years old, and is over the age of playing with flowers and plants. In addition to studying, she is also good at music. After listening to Manman playing the piano, she developed a sense of admiration. Later, she changed from admiration to admiration. She redeemed her body for Manman without telling her family and placed her in another village.

He is now the county magistrate of Pei County, and all the official duties are from him.

Just remove Manman's name from the list of Xi Niang in the Xiguan. If you do some tricks, no one will come to make things difficult for a Xi Niang. As for Li Fang, he basically ignores official duties and is thinking about how to get promoted and make money. Therefore, Xiao He gave Manman an identity and a household registration, which became easy and very simple.

It was getting dark, and Xiao He finished processing the last official document.

Although Chen She was in a thrilling relationship between Sishui County and Chen County, it actually seemed a bit far away for Pei County.

Xiao He is not optimistic about Chen She!

As long as the war does not burn to Pei County, even if the sky falls, what does it have to do with him Xiao He? Besides, if the sky really falls, Xiao He can't stand it alone, right? When it's time to die, he will naturally die. It's better to be happy and live every day well.

Pei County needs to issue another 300 people to be allocated for the imperial edict sent by the court.

This made Xiao He very embarrassed. You must know that all the things that should be collected have been collected. If you want to collect them, it will not be that easy.

People in the countryside, who doesn’t know who?

Xiao He was really hard to make a decision, but he had to obey the edict. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out three hundred names. Xiao He shook his head and smiled bitterly. If this order was continued, I don’t know how many villagers would curse behind his back. However, he had no choice.

After packing up the list, Xiao He looked at the sky outside, picked up a bamboo basket from the corner of the house and walked out.

Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was going to rain.

Just as he was thinking, it seemed as if he was about to fulfill Xiao He's guess, the rain fell down. Xiao He was holding up a bamboo basket at the entrance of the county government office. He stood on the street and hesitated for a while and walked towards an alley. To be honest, he was very sorry for his old wife. He had given birth to children for most of his life and did not say anything about it. When he was injured, he took good care of his wife and did his duty.

And what about myself...

But this food and sex nature is the great desire of human beings.

Xiao He still chose to walk to Manman's residence...

Manman cooks good dishes, drinks some wine, talks about music and sings poetry. If this is the case in life, what else can I ask for?

Turning into the alley, Xiao He walked in.

After seeing a bend in front, he arrived at Manman's residence. But at this moment, two black shadows suddenly emerged from the alley next to him, blocking Xiao He's way. Xiao He looked closely and found that he was still an acquaintance. One was Xiahou Ying and the other was Chen He. The two of them blocked Xiao He one by one. When Xiao He saw this posture, he couldn't help but frown and his face was gloomy.

"A Ying, what do you mean?"

Xiahou Ying smiled and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, don't blame me. I have no malice. I just have been entrusted by Brother Fan. Please ask Brother Xiao to talk."

Xiao He said: "It's so late, I'm tired. Go back and tell the butcher if there is something wrong, let him go to the county government tomorrow to talk."

"Brother Xiao, don't do this... Isn't this embarrassing for Lao Chen and me? Besides, your family is not here, I guess Brother Xiao is going to meet the little beauties, and he doesn't even care about brotherly relationships? You are too careless. Since you redeem the little beauties, you have to arrange a good place for her to live in. This place is really not very good, and it is very easy for my sister-in-law to discover it."

Xiao He was stunned and frowned and said, "Aying, are you threatening me?"

"Brother Xiao misunderstood. You know, in my life, you are the one I admire most. How dare I threaten you?"

Xiao Heding hates Xiahou Ying's hippie and smiling face.

It’s like Liu Ji who was young, which makes people feel disgusted...

"You don't need to worry about my family's affairs. Aying, just take care of yourself!"

As he spoke, he was about to bypass Xiahou Ying. But Xiahou Ying moved wide and blocked Xiao He's way. This time, Xiao He was annoyed.

"Xiahou Ying, what are you going to do?"

"Haha, Brother Xiao, don't get angry. I just want to invite you to sit in the butcher's place, which won't take long. Besides, even if you pass by now, you won't see your little beauties. It's better to go to the butcher's house with me and then meet the beauties again, which is not even more interesting."

"Xiahou, be serious!"

Chen He is not a person who likes to talk. He seems to be a little disgusted with Xiahou Ying's frivolity. He frowned and whispered, and then said, "Brother Xiao, we really have no malice. Brother Butcher has indeed something important. If you don't go, we can't get the bad debt when we go back."

"What's wrong with Manman?"

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao, I just saw Miss Manman's hard work, and it was easy for her sister-in-law to discover it in the city. So in the afternoon, Gu Feng and the others invited Miss Manman elsewhere, just for the sake of Miss Manman's good, so that she could be worried all day long, right?"

Gu Feng is a gangster leader in Pei County.

After hearing Gu Feng's name, Xiao He felt a thrill in his heart and said in a deep voice: "It's Liu Ji who is back!"

Xiahou Ying and Chen He were stunned. After looking at each other, they did not answer.

It was indeed that guy who came back!

Xiao He sighed, "Since that's the case, let's lead the way. I'll go to the butcher's place with you to see what he, Liu Ji, wants?"

"Brother Xiao, please!"

Chen He made way for a while, Xiao He nodded, ignored Xiahou Ying, and walked straight ahead. Xiahou Ying looked indifferent, and stood side by side with Chen He. After three of them turned a few turns, they saw the locust tree in front of Fan Kuai’s house.

This locust tree has a year...

Xiao He remembered that when he was a child, he heard from his ancestors. In short, it has been more than a hundred years. The lush branches, like a large umbrella, cover Fan Kuai's house. In the past, Fan Kuai's house was just a white thatched hut, but now it is already green tiles and white walls, which is very grand. There is a main hall in the middle, with two wing rooms on both sides. The rammed earth wall of more than one person is surrounded by the yard, and the gate of the courtyard is not closed. You can smell the fragrance of meat floating from the yard from a distance. When people smell it, they can't help but move their index fingers.

Fan Kuai is now the title of Duke Dafu, and his identity is even higher than Xiao He.

At this moment, she was sitting in the guest seat and chatting and laughing with a man. Although she had not seen each other for two or three years, Xiao He still recognized him at a glance. The man was Liu Ji.

Logically speaking, Liu Ji is a wanted criminal.

But this is Fan Kuai’s home, who will come to investigate?

"Mr. Xiao, it's considered waiting for you to come!"

When Liu Bang saw Xiao He from afar, he quickly stood up and greeted him. Xiao He did not give Liu Bang a good look! He was sure that the hijacking of Manman had nothing to do with Fan Kuai. Although Fan Kuai was smart, he would not use such a method. Apart from Liu Bang, no one else could come up with such an idea.

Xiao He ignored Liu Ji, walked straight into the yard, and sat down opposite Fan Kuai.

"Fan Tuzi, what do you mean?"

Seeing Liu Bang completely as nothing, Xiahou Ying was so angry that he stepped forward to argue, but was stopped by Liu Bang. Liu Bang waved his hand and signaled Xiahou Ying and Chen He to go out and watch. He smiled and sat back on the main seat again, pouring a glass of wine for Xiao He.

Fan Kuai was a little confused, "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with me? Liu Ji is back. I'm asking you to have a drink, what else can I mean?"

Liu Bang suppressed Fan Kuai and raised his glass, "Mr. Xiao, this is Liu Ji's fault and has nothing to do with the butcher. Liu Ji was just worried that the husband would not come, so he used some tricks. But don't worry, Miss Manman did not suffer any grievances. Whoever dared to bully Miss Manman would not forgive him even if it was my brother. Liu Ji had no choice but to ask Mr. Xiao... forgive him."

These words made Xiao He laugh and cry.

"Liu Ji, since you have escaped, why should you come back?"

Liu Bang said: "Pei County is Liu Ji's home. No matter how far Liu Ji goes, he will never forget the elders of his hometown, and I am a member of Pei County.

Besides, today is different from the past, why don’t Liu Ji dare to come back?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will catch you?"

"If Mr. wants to take Liu Ji's words, Liu Ji will be willing to tie him up...but, in this case, I am afraid that the people of Pei County will suffer."

Xiao He was stunned, "Liu Ji, what do you mean?"

"In the past two years, Liu Ji has been traveling outside and has more or less understood the outside world. Mr. is a smart person. Can't he see the changes in this world?"

Xiao He sneered, "It's just a group of mobs that cause trouble, what are you afraid of?"

"Haha, sir may regard them as a scattered crowd, but Liu Ji felt that those people could not say that they would create a great cause.

Maybe the gentleman didn't know that Chen She had divided his troops from two groups, one from Ge Ying to the east, and went to welcome Qin Jia and Zhu Jishi; and the other side, he personally led his troops around Ku County and prepared to ambush the Qin army in Lai Township. The people of Chen County, our great Chu people, are eager to try."

Xiao He was stunned and looked at Liu Ji in surprise.

Fan Kuaiqi said on the side: "No, I heard that Chen She is still in Qiao County and is leading his troops to enter Lingbi east."

"Oh, that's the suspicious soldiers of Wu Guang's troops, just to confuse the defenders of Xiang County... When the Qin army in Xiang County understands, Chen County is afraid that it has been lost."

"Liu Ji, how do you know so many things?"

Xiao He suddenly felt alert in his heart.

Liu Ji laughed, "Dissatisfied with Mr. Liu Ji is now a member of the rebel army. My teacher, Mr. Zhang Er, don't you know if Mr. Zhang has heard of it?

Liu Ji came here because he was entrusted by Zhang Ergong to preside over the affairs of Sishui and Donghai counties. Ge Ying led his troops to join Qin and Zhu teams in the past or two days. At that time, the people of Chu would definitely open the city to welcome him. I came today, on the one hand, because I was worried that Pei County would be affected by the war, and on the other hand, because I was a slaughter of the gentleman and a son to seek wealth. What do you think?"

Xiao He naturally heard of Zhang Er's name.

Moreover, Xiao He also knew that Liu Ji had indeed stayed under Zhang Er's sect. However, it was the first time he heard about the "teacher and student". As for what Liu Ji said, the host of Donghai County, Sishui County, Xiao He automatically ignored it. Doesn't he understand who Liu Ji is?

I gave birth to a good mouth, and I could blow the sky through the ox.

However, seeing Liu Ji's confident appearance, Xiao He felt that his words might not be all fake. Indeed, Fu Li is making a big fuss now. If Ge Ying and Qin Zhu join together and their power surges, it will definitely affect Pei County.
