The suicide raid launched by Huqiu Fort did wipe out the original defenders there, but it did not destroy the enemy's camp. The merchant army quickly restored it to its original state and made it stronger.
After the reinforcements supported by the Shang State eliminated all those who dared to invade, including the fine grain cavalry, they thought that the Chu State would have a back-up plan. They had been waiting for two days and nothing happened, so the Shang State people breathed a sigh of relief.
, everyone discussed that this might be because the border guard king was confused by his own army and made such a mistake.
As for the three little mice, of course I didn't just let them go.
...
Seven days later, the three of them put on the shabby common people's clothes that Chen Mo found and blended in with the people of Shang Kingdom. Er Gouzi saved his life like a rogue. Why do you say that? Because the first words he said when he woke up
It turned out to be: It came to life, otherwise the girl would have been burping without even touching her hand, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?
The group of them walked through unfamiliar hills and came to a place called Fulai Town. Here, Chen Mo first looked for the notice board of this town to learn about recent events.
No matter where, whenever a new notice is pasted on the old square wooden sign, it will attract a group of illiterate people, and then they will have unfounded arguments while waiting for a literate person to solve their worries and doubts.
There were not many people in front of the bulletin board at this time, perhaps because the notices on it were not newly posted today. The three of them came closer and looked carefully at some very old notices, and some that had just been posted recently.
"Er Gouzi, do you recognize the words above?" San Bengzi helped Er Gouzi, who was still very weak, and asked.
"I only know the words Guanyin and Lao Niu." Ergouzi said weakly.
"Thanks to you reading so many books every day, you can only recognize a few words, and your eyes are blinded in vain."
"There are only a few words in my book. If there were pictures on it, I would definitely be able to read it."
"Then tell me, what do these three heads mean? They are vicious." Santengzi pointed at an object with a ferocious pattern painted on it and said.
"They are three extremely vicious people. They must have done something bad and are wanted by the government."
While the two were arguing, Chen Mo looked at the contents carefully. Most of them talked about the border war, what kind of victory the Shang State had achieved, and how it beat the Chu State to pieces. Chen Mo knew that these news
Half truths and half lies are all meant to fool the people.
As for the three menacing heads, if it weren't for the introduction of the words, Chen Mo wouldn't have been able to tell that they were pictures of the three of them. The notice said that these three people were three traitors who killed people on the border.
The guards, those who sneaked back, asked the locals to pay attention to these three people. Anyone found acting suspiciously should report to the government and there would be a heavy reward.
Chen Mo looked at this strange notice and guessed that the merchant soldiers were afraid that the three of them would be held accountable for their escape, so they changed their approach. Anyway, the three of them would not be stupid enough to report that it was false. But this way
Yep, it's also good for them.
There are some surrounding events. A bulletin board not only contains announcements from the government, but also other matters. They are piled up and posted around the bulletin board. There is no way, the middle position is reserved for the government.
"Hey, hey, you country bumpkins, can you understand the words above?" At this time, a seven or eight-year-old child came over and shouted to these slovenly people.
"Who are you calling a country bumpkin?" Santengzi looked down and saw a civilian child with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant.
"Besides you three, is there anyone else here?" the child asked.
"We can't understand, but you, a little kid, can understand?" Santengzi was not ashamed of his illiteracy at all, and had nothing to be ashamed of. At that time, in Huqiu Fort, except for the corps commander,
Not many people can read.
"Of course." The child said disdainfully.
"Since you know, then tell me what it says."
"Why should I tell you? Country bumpkins." The child snorted and turned to leave.
"If you don't, you won't. No matter how you pretend, it's not a shame to be illiterate." Santengzi laughed.
"You country bumpkins can't read!" The little kid turned around and glared at the person who was laughing at him.
"Since you know how, let's talk about what these three people do."
"Just say it." The child came to the bulletin board and pointed to the portraits of the three people and said: "These three are the most vicious and hungry villains who have appeared recently. They not only kill people and set fires, but also like to dig out the hearts and livers of children.
Very bad."
"Leave." Chen Mo said calmly.
"Don't be impatient. Let him finish what's going on here first."
Chen Mo did not stop and turned around to leave. Santengzi and the others had no choice but to follow Chen Mo and leave without listening to the child's explanation.
"Hey, hey, don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet." This child was quite depressed. He had just shown off his talent that he had learned through hearsay, and before he could fully demonstrate it, he was rude to these three.
The people ignored it and stamped their feet angrily.
"Why didn't you listen to what he said? Let's see if there is any useful news." Santengzi walked beside Chen Mo and asked. Their horses have been abandoned. Those are war horses, although most people may not be able to tell.
But it will also be recognized by sharp-eyed people, and they will be unable to defend themselves.
"Those three people are us."
"Ha." Sanbengzi and Ergouzi were surprised at the same time.
"Can you still read?"
"Are those three portraits definitely of us?"
"That's our wanted notice, but the description is very vague. It's probably because those people didn't remember our appearance clearly at that time. They just described us casually, and we were wanted for portraits." Chen Mo explained without following what was written on the notice. Anyway,
That's probably what it means. "As long as it's not the people who have met us, it will still be difficult to arrest us through these wanted posters, so let's go."
"Where to go?"
.....
The three of them walked into Fulizhen. The town was not big, but there were many people walking around in the town. It was not too far from the border, but the tension at the Xingwei border did not affect it. Life went as usual.
After a while, Er Gouzi's energy recovered a lot, and his eyes were sparkling as he looked at every girl he saw.
"Er Gou, put away your lewd eyes. If you are accused of molesting a decent woman later, you will be beaten by a group of people. With your body like this, that kid outside the town just now could knock you down."
Ergou still couldn't control his eyes from wandering around those women. He didn't want to do this either. After he went to Huqiu Fort, he never talked about women again. He always talked about them in bits and pieces when he was a child.
Impression, and then after the corps leader secretly stuffed him with the book, he felt that a new world had opened up. At this time, every time he saw a woman, he was always connected with the content of the book.
"Keep looking, keep looking!" San Bengzi slapped him hard on the head. "You worthless guy."
"Stop hitting, stop hitting. If you hit me, I will be really stupid." Ergouzi, who was in pain, had no choice but to retract his eyes.
After walking around the town for a while, they left the town without any money. Only the scenery of the town that Er Gouzi was still reluctant to leave. To be precise, it was the women who had begun to pay attention to him. If Chen Mo hadn't taken them with him quickly
Leave, maybe the next moment, those women will greet them with the things in their hands.
After leaving the town, they continued to move forward without a clear purpose. Now they could not go back directly to the south. Not to mention the wanted notice that did not look like a wanted notice. Even if they went to the border, given the current situation of the two countries, they would not be able to go back.
Let them pass.
So Chen Mo was still thinking about how to go back these days, but he didn't think of a practical way, so he took one step at a time and looked at it step by step.
Ziyun Villa.
Chen Mo thought of a place. It was a message he had seen on the bulletin board before. It said that Ziyun Shanzhuang was recruiting capable people and strangers recently, and was ready to contribute to the court. As long as he won the battle, he would be rewarded based on his merits. Change it to another one.
One official and half job.
But that notice seems to have been there for some time. I don’t know what the situation is there now, but I have to give it a try to see if there is any chance of returning to Chu State. I just don’t know where the place called Ziyun Villa is.
, I originally wanted to ask people in the town, but they were all ruined by this guy whose mind was filled with women.
Not far out of the town, a wine shop came into view, and some passers-by were resting in this cheap and affordable place.
Smelling the faint aroma of wine wafting from there, San Bengzi's nose, which was already a little thirsty, couldn't help but twitch twice, and he smacked his mouth.
And while Er Gouzi was intoxicated by the aroma of the wine, Er Gouzi's eyes widened and he glanced back and forth at a woman at the table who was as beautiful as a fairy in his eyes. It could be said that he was unscrupulous.
.
Chen Mo glanced around, grabbed Er Gouzi by the collar with one hand, pulled his eyes away from the young woman, and dragged him away from here.
"stop."
A shy and angry female voice called out to the three sloppily dressed people.
Chen Mo sighed inwardly. Trouble finally came to his door. He couldn't understand why Ergouzi, who was usually so timid and fearful, changed completely when he saw a woman. It would be better to teach him a lesson.
.
"Fairy, are you calling us?"
Sanbengzi was the first to speak. When he saw the woman's face, he secretly thought something was wrong. It must be Ergouzi who didn't control his eyes again. Damn it, I'll find a place where no one is around later.
You need to teach yourself a lesson. You don't know where to restrain yourself when you are in the enemy's country.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Santengzi raised his eyebrows as low as possible, hoping that the other party would not forget the faults of the villain, but things did not go as smoothly as he thought.
