One hundred and eight chapters as a servant and a slave
"Bang -" there was a muffled sound out of thin air.
Just four palms touching each other, the sound spread throughout the alley.
Zhu Zhong took two steps back, a blush rising on his face. But he only swayed slightly and immediately stood still.
Luo Tong, on the other hand, looked completely different. He took more than five steps back in a row. He tried to stand firm, but he still couldn't stand despite his efforts. His face turned red and he took another small step back.
"Take another slap from me——"
Take advantage of your illness to kill you. With a flash of his body, like a step, Zhu Zhong suddenly rushed in front of Luo Tong, who had just stood upright. He used the eight-step cicada technique! He used all his strength to strike out with lightning with his second palm.
Having been influenced by Zhu Biao for a long time, he did not have the consciousness of "leaving a thin line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future". He was ruthless and it had penetrated into his heart.
A 'Thunderbolt' movement easily knocked away Luo Tongcang's panicked palm, and then landed heavily on Luo Tong's chest.
Luo Jiuye, the vulture who was so powerful at Yanping Pier, suddenly lost all weight in his strong body. His feet lifted off the ground and he flew out flatly, leaving a mouthful of hot blood in the air and streaking across more than ten feet.
After a long distance, he fell heavily onto the green brick pavement of the alley, rolled over and slid nearly a foot away.
In order to support the scene, he and Zhu Zhong fought hard with their palms. Luo Tong really made a very bad choice.
"Incense Master?" More than a dozen minions who came with him exclaimed and surrounded him.
Of course, they did not dare to face Zhu Zhong directly, but they surrounded Luo Tong in the center. They were fully alert and looked at Zhu Biao and the five others in panic.
"Take your incense master and get out of here -"
Zhu Biao had already stood in front of Yao Jie and his son, checking Zhou Yunfei. Zhu Zhong didn't even look at Luo Tong and the others anymore, waved his hand and scolded them.
The spirits of the dozen or so minions immediately relaxed. The young man in front of him did not complain or continue to chase. He was safe. It couldn't be better.
The four people in the middle worked together to lift Luo Tong and the group of people ran away.
In the small courtyard hall.
A group of people came in. Zhu Biao looked at the furnishings inside. It was indeed difficult. Just looking at Yao Jie and her son made him feel a little funny. The first time he saw her was when she was forced by a small rural landowner. This was the second time he saw her.
She was forced by a little incense master again. Apart from being good at the villain level, there was no other change...
I wonder, if we meet for the third time, will we meet someone with a bigger background?
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.
Yao Jie seemed to be touched, and her fair face was covered with red clouds. She was rescued twice, but suffered the same fate both times. It was really embarrassing.
Zhou Yunfei stood quietly beside his mother. He had not grown taller in more than a year. Looking at Dou Bing, who was staying at Zhu's house, no one would say that they were the same age.
Although this guy was stepped on the head by Luo Tong, he didn't suffer much. Even if he had a few bruises, he recovered slowly.
"How did you end up here? Didn't you join your brother? I heard that there is an unconscious Yao Quan. He is your nephew?"
When they parted ways, he also gave her a hundred taels of silver notes. It was hard for Zhu Biao to imagine that a family like Yao Jie could spend a hundred taels of silver in more than a year.
Why live in a dilapidated place? If it rains heavily, there will definitely be light rain inside.
Yao Jie's eyes immediately turned red, and when she heard the word "brother", she felt heartbroken.
"In return for my kindness, my elder brother died of illness last year, and my sister-in-law passed away many years ago, leaving only Brother Quan alone..." Yao Jie said slowly, but this Yao family is another one.
Families broken by war.
Now there is only a single seedling of Yao Quan left, but just five years ago there were three strong young men in front of Yao Jie's brother and sister-in-law.
It's just that the eldest and second children joined the army and died on the battlefield within a year. Brother Yao Jie fell ill and collapsed from then on. Her sister-in-law passed away early in grief and sorrow. A good-looking girl
The family is finished.
"My benefactor," Yao Jie pulled Zhou Yunfei to kneel down in front of Zhu Biao, "I have been saved by my benefactor twice, and I am extremely grateful. My mother and son have nothing to repay, and are willing to be slaves to serve my benefactor before and after. But Brother Quan...
...The benefactor will reward him with a bite of food, and he will never be lazy or cheat."
Yao Jie separated her mother and son from Yao Quan. Although they were said together, the meaning was very clear - their mother and son were willing to become slaves without any complaints. Yao Quan was different.
He couldn't be a slave, so he could only work as a servant and nurse, so he could have food to eat.
Yao Jie finally understood what Zhou Cun was going through and what he was going through now. They had no money and no power and were bullied wherever they went. Her face was also a source of trouble.
Or he could simply be disfigured to be cleaner. However, instead of having such a hard life, it would be better to sell himself into slavery like Dou Bing.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, seeing civilians selling themselves into slavery again...
Among the people who fled from Luozhou, it was common to ask themselves to be sold into slavery!
"No matter what slave or maid you are, I wish my family will be a good family for generations to come, treat their servants with kindness and kindness, and not have those messy dirty tricks in the dark. You can follow me if you want, and you can come out after a few years when you have some wealth.
It just so happens that we are going to stay in Yanping for a while, it will be better to have you, and the clothes will be easier to take care of..." Zhu Biao was of course happy to accept the Yao family and their children. First, loyalty is not a problem, and he saved them twice;
Secondly, Yao Jie is beautiful and looks good on the eyes.
"I went back to see Xiaodouzi, he must be happy..."
Those who came to Yanping County were members of the "Liangjiazi" who joined the army. Although the four Zhu Zhongs were not direct descendants of the Zhu family, they were still members of the Zhu family and could meet the standards of the Liangjiazi.
All five people of the right age are here.
In mid-January, when the cold winter had subsided, the ice and snow had not yet melted, and the horses on the grasslands were losing weight, the Han army mobilized soldiers and horses from Yandong and Hexi to Luozhou and organized a full-scale counterattack in Luozhou.
The fierce battle lasted for more than half a month, killing more than 100,000 Huqi who were slightly caught off guard. This consolidated the defense of Beiling County to a certain extent. However, the Han army's few and precious effective strength was also reduced by nearly 100,000.
From a tactical point of view, this can be said to be a successful application; in terms of results, the Han army also had a slight surplus; but from a strategic perspective, the loss of 100,000 Han troops was definitely not worth the gain.
Because both sides were originally strong and weak, and now they are still engaging in such a consuming counterattack, the result of the battle is only a slight surplus. It is self-evident who will have the upper hand in the end.
By February, there was another new lieutenant in the court, and at the same time, the King of Han's edict for all the sons of good families to join the army was officially issued. Of course, it was also issued together with the second recruitment order since the beginning of this spring.
In each state, the children of good families who want to join the army will first gather in the state to wait for selection. The outstanding ones will be sent to the capital to join the imperial army, while the rest will join the border army.
There are ten states in the Northern Han Dynasty, plus the capital of Jingzhaoyin-Beiping, a total of eleven branches. However, Luozhou is in ruins, and the generals in the state, Zhongliang's family, may have been fighting and beaten on the battlefield, so this year it became
Ten branches.
"Did the young master come to join the army?" Yao Jie trembled slightly. She didn't know the difference between the Liang family's sons and the Yao family's second son's joining the army, but when she heard the word 'army', she couldn't help but be afraid.
stand up.
Zhu Biao understands her mood, and she can only rely on herself to slowly untie her heart for this kind of thing.
"Okay, don't think too much. Go and clean up. You guys will move to the inn tonight..."
